Chapter 13: The Birth of a Legend
Li Chenglong's hands under the sleeves were wearing high-density iron bracers with inner buttons, and he was carrying more than 3,000 gold coins in his arms, but he felt more and more uncomfortable. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info followed the body's intuition and looked at the right hand, "I said, if you have any questions, just ask, if you have something to say, don't keep looking at me with this kind of eyes." ”
While playing with a Celtic longsword made of alchemy that he had just deducted from his hand, he looked at Hannah from head to toe and from foot to head with his eyes, and did not answer Li Chenglong's question at all. Just continued to play with the sword in his hand, staring at Li Chenglong and thinking about what the old mage saw from him.
Li Chenglong, who had no choice but to take this empty lady, and was afraid that the gold coins would fall out when he ran up, chose to return an eye for an eye, and he also turned his head like a pervert to focus on the key parts of Hannah, but unfortunately Hannah, who was deep in thought, did not react to this at all.
Then a strange pair of men and women appeared in the street, the man was empty-handed, with bulging gold coins in his arms, and the woman was slightly half a step behind the man, her eyes were fixed on the man, but she kept fiddling with a snowy Celtic sword in her hand. The man and woman almost knocked over a tree on the side of the road on a few occasions, but finally returned to the hotel.
The two people who slipped through the door didn't realize that the hotel was a little too orderly. No one shouted loudly, no drunks who drank too much molested women, everyone just stayed quietly, and stuffed the food in their mouths without even looking at it.
But they all looked at the same place. There was a very familiar looking beauty, standing on the table, telling the story in a low voice. The story is about a warrior who jumps over the Bandon River and saves the lives of two ladies, and in order to allow the ladies to cross the river in a dignified way, a wooden bridge is built to cross the river in a miraculous way.
The scene in front of them gradually became clear, and the two of them returned to normal thinking, glanced at each other, and worked together. Lee Seung-ryong went to the counter to pay for the meal and accommodation, Hannah patted his forehead with his right hand, and applied a second-level magic to himself to dispel the living, squeezed into the crowd, and pulled Wen Na, who was talking about the ice bridge, down.
Hannah's side was quite smooth, but Li Chenglong, who was in charge of paying the money, encountered some accidents. The owner of the inn insisted that Li Chenglong was a respectable hero, insisted on not charging Li Chenglong and his party for wine, and opened a single room for them for free.
Li Chenglong, who didn't want to squeeze the Chase Shop, accepted the boss's kindness. In the crowd, I found Li Dequan who was drunk on the table at some point, a glass of fruit wine splashed on his face and did not wake up, and when he was helped up and compared with his height, Li Chenglong slapped Li Dequan twice in the face. Li Dequan, who was talking dirty words and opened his eyes in a daze, was already half awake when he saw that it was his master's wine, and realized that he had not properly carried out the task of looking at Wen Na arranged by his master just now, and he also scolded the master unintentionally, and decisively slapped himself in the face twice.
The sound of these two slaps was so loud that most of the eyes of everyone in the hall were attracted to it. Li Chenglong, who was being watched, felt like a monkey shower, and Li Chenglong, who felt that his face was a little hot, walked quickly towards his room.
People along the way remembered the story Wen Na had just told and recognized the person in front of them as the protagonist depicted in the story. or out of respect for the warriors, or out of fear of the strong, they all silently made a way for Li Chenglong.
Wherever Li Chenglong went, the people in front of him neatly avoided the scene, so that the people who were a little farther away dispelled the last bit of doubt about the story told by Wen Na. After all, isn't it natural for a strong man with such majesty to save a noble lady from a monster?
Li Chenglong, who entered the private room first, began to look at the environment of the single room, less than 20 square meters of rectangular space, there was a square window with a height of about two meters on the wall facing the door, and four sheepskin bedding and some clean hay were stacked in front of the wooden walls on both sides.
Holding a futon and walking under the window, against the wall where the window was located, Li Chenglong just lay there covered with sheepskin, motionless. Li Dequan, who came in after him, saw it, and also hugged a futon to the corner of the door to rest, the difference was that he held a Saxon short knife in his hand under the sheepskin.
After a while, Wen Na, who was reluctantly pulled in by Hannah, was first startled by Li Chenglong, who was lying on the ground with empty eyes and staring at the door when she opened the door, and just wanted to scream, she felt a chill hit behind her, and turned around silently and saw Li Dequan glaring at her with anger in her eyes, Hannah didn't say anything, she lay down on the hay and whispered to Hannah who was lying next to her, thanks to the blessings of the two men, and the ladies enjoyed the softness brought by the double hay.
Half an hour later, Li Chenglong gave up guessing Wen Na's purpose and closed his eyes to see Zhou Gong. Only Li Dequan, who was on duty and keeping vigil, stared at the two girls who looked more and more beautiful in the moonlight.
In the lobby of the inn, the noise has taken over as the sorceress has disappeared and replaced silence. Most of the conversation revolved around the story that Wen Na had already told two and a half times, and a few who insisted on not believing that they had agreed to go out of the city tomorrow to see the ice bridge.
It was late at night, and the hall was quiet again, but Wen Na opened her eyes again at some point, staring at Li Chenglong lying in the corner where the moonlight could not shine, and Li Dequan, who had been squinting at Hannah, saw all this in a place where she couldn't take care of it.
The next day, the morning of the 27th day of the fourth month of the ninth dragon calendar. Li Chenglong, who was eating in the hall, gathered three messages from the chatter of the diners around him. First, a group of short, hairless humans appeared on the Goblin Plateau north of Blarney City, and they robbed the merchants who traveled between Droplik and Blarney in groups, second, some people claimed to have seen a giant horse-headed bird covered in scales on the plateau, and third, a war broke out between the water tribes in the waters east of Blarney City, and the city lord led all the elite forces, including nobles and Celtic swordsmanship, to the east of the city yesterday at the suggestion of Prophet Howard, the leader of the Mage Guild.
Li Chenglong and Li Dequan discussed in Germanic lingua franca, and came to a consensus that the large group of humanoids infesting the Goblin Plateau should have received the oracle like the deep divers, waiting to join their hilichurls. And the horse-faced giant bird should be looking for its own shatak bird.
Considering that Baiaki could only carry one person at a time, after breakfast, Li Chenglong asked Hannah to lead Li Dequan to purchase the wine, food, carriage and other materials needed for the journey. After leaving all the gold coins, a man went out of the west gate, swam across the tributaries of the Li River to the north, and summoned Baiaki, who was foraging on the north bank.
Riding in Baiaki, Li Chenglong once again experienced what it means to be cold in a high place. I don't know magic and I don't have any other means of transportation.,I can only miss the plane in my previous life.,Fly in the direction of the goblin plateau.。
Hannah originally wanted to take Wen Na to buy supplies with her, but Wen Na said, "If you want to be courteous to your lover, don't take me." "Blocked back.
When Hannah took Li Dequan, who was carrying gold coins, to bargain in the market, Wen Na put on the hood on her mage robe, went out of the hotel, detoured several times, and finally walked into the mage tower like a mage who had just entered Blarney City.
Venna, who met President Howard as an expert Celtic mage, had a long conversation with the new grandmaster mage in the president's room.
Wen Na reacts to Howard that Lee Seung-ryong is likely to be an emissary of an evil pagan god. The same story he told to the old mage that he had told many times, but this time he jumped over the Bandon River with a white horse, which became a deliberate distraction to disrupt their spell casting, rescued two trapped ladies from the mermaids, and became a collusion with the merfolk to paralyze the Quinn adventure group in the name of rescue, so that they could sneak attack from behind, and then the wooden bridge built to reach Belgul was no longer called a miracle by Hannah, but the result of some kind of magic that enslaved nature, and finally, in Wen Na's mouth, the ice bridge was ironclad proof that Lee Seung-ryong was a natural destroyer。
Wen Na begged the old mage to help her take revenge and punish Li Chenglong for this heresy. Howard took Venna and activated the Mage's Eye. Using the mage's eye, an old man and a young man saw Li Chenglong, who was sitting on Baiaki's back by the river and adjusting his sitting posture. After recognizing who it was, Howard told Venna that he could handle it if it was this person. But now the lord and the nobles have gone on a long journey, and since Blarney City does not yet have a permanent High Priest or High Druid, he is responsible for presiding over the city's defensive barriers, and cannot leave the city. And as an elder, he couldn't kill a warrior who was praised for no reason.
He advised Wen Na to wait for Lee Seung-ryong to return and then continue with her original plan. First, tell the heroic story of Lee Seung-ryong in front of the people, and then reveal the truth of the story after enough people have gathered.
Howard promised Wen Na that he would kill Lee Seung-ryong in public after getting people's understanding.
Wen Na, who had been assured by the old mage, left the mage tower with satisfaction and began to wander around the city, telling people the story of Li Chenglong. And tell everyone who is interested that they will tell a new story in the Civic Square in the center of the city.
As more and more people learned about Venna's story, there were people in the audience who had heard the story of Bandon the Savior, as well as travelers who had seen the strange wooden bridge near Belgul.
More and more bards are joining in, singing and adapting this series of stories. With the polish of professional bards, the story becomes more convincing and more like a new legend.
