The pendant crystal lamp blooms with dazzling light, showing a gorgeous and noble temperament, and the whole body is full of crystal string pendants, such as layers of crystal fruits, pendants of different sizes and shapes, decorating the wide hall. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

After two months of renovation, Davis's old mansion has gradually restored its atmosphere as a noble residence.

In the study of the current owner of the mansion, heavy arcane texts lie flat on the solid wood desk, and articles written by a mixture of lingua franca, elven and dragon are densely arranged on the pages, and the special grammar and esoteric formulas make people feel rejection at a glance, which is a sense of fear of the unknown and reading.

The golden crown badge was pinned to the white uniform, and the black-haired mage rarely sat in a high-backed chair and listened instead of immersing himself in formulas and numbers.

Kirito sat in a chair on the side of his desk, Asuna standing behind him with her hands on his shoulders.

While reporting to Carl on the progress of the mission, Kirito made a point of telling the story he had recently been involved in.

"Lighting, and kobolds and goblins. Carl said while taking notes, "It has been many years since the Jingneng equipment was opened for manufacturing, but it has not been promoted for a long time, and consumption is a big problem. ”

"And then, what about Miss Salvain and Ser Brafdor?" asked Asuna.

"According to your previous description, being able to use the power of vampires to create new species, Belik is at least a druid at the level of a great mage. Karl stuck his quill in the inkwell, "Even his minions aren't up to your teammates. You're going to brush him alone?"

"Nope. Kirito looked out the window of his study, it was midsummer in Tahamat City, the vines in the garden were crawling all over the shelves, and the crosssword soldiers had changed into the gardener's clothes and pruned the branches and leaves with large scissors.

"The rest of the story is wonderful. ”

The black swordsman said.

The Dunbrook goblins in the surface layer were completely defeated, and most of the goblins were killed or captured by the kobolds. Only a few escaped to the underground castle in an unknown corner.

Kirito and they, including the dwarf priest who joined halfway, were invited to the dragon throne in Yusdayar, and the kobold warlock leader wanted to express his gratitude to several adventurers.

The kobold's holy dragon was also captured and placed in a large, barely repaired iron cage, the white young dragon, which was only slightly larger than an arm, had been locked up in the trophy room by the goblins, and the bear goblins who were guarding it had gone down to the tree level. Finding an opportunity, Kachix snapped the chain that held him to pieces, and when the kobolds found it, the young dragon gathered the loot of the goblins into a simple nest.

Several kobolds looked after it carefully, for fear that the little ancestor would not be happy and spit on his face with ice.

It's just a wyvern cub, and although this creature has some dragon blood in it, it's still far from a real dragon.

The little creature was not satisfied with being watched by kobolds, and its chaotic and irascible nature caused it to let out a threatening roar at every individual that came close.

"You did what you promised. Sitting on the Gravel Throne, Yusdayel said to the adventurers, "Not only did he help us recapture the Holy Dragon. You also expelled those inferior goblins, what reward do you want?"

What reward you want is confirmed beforehand.

In the mouth of the dragon statue behind the seat, the dragon holds a simple brass key in its mouth.

The best treasures are found in hard-to-access places like the underground ruins, and rooms that are too easy to find have long been rummaged through by goblins and kobolds.

Because he had already mentioned the key to Yusdayer, Yusdayer, who had been mentally prepared, asked a kobold guard to pull the key from the dragon's mouth and give it to them.

"There's a mighty monster sleeping in the ruins over there, much more powerful than me, much more powerful than Dunn. Yusdayel warned the adventurers, "Even if I found the key, I didn't dare to explore it. ”

This was Yusdayer's instinct as a gifted spellcaster. Because of Besco Kirito, they exceeded her expectations. She kindly reminded them.

The weight of the brass key is not light, and the key body seems simple. The interior is actually a complex structure that cannot even be replicated by less skilled craftsmen.

The key passed around the adventurers' hands before returning to Besco's hands.

"Profit and danger coexist, Your Excellency, Great Chief. Besco and Yusdayel said.

After receiving their reward from the kobold, they returned to the kobold's station to discuss further action. And do some trimming, especially Todak's shield, which needs to be replaced.

(Time record, April 22, 11:45 a.m.)

Back here, adventurers are treated as heroes by these kobolds. As they passed, kobolds waved their salutes, and some of them enthusiastically wanted to give them the chowder soup in their pots.

Of course, this mess of ground moss stewed with the carcasses of unknown animals was not attractive enough to the adventurers, and Shirley stiffly rejected the kobolds' kindness and found an empty place to sit down at random.

"Having found Mr. Taragon's Ring, your mission can be considered preliminarily complete. Kirito was the first to speak, "Entering the underground tree garden layer is much more dangerous than the upper bunker level, so I don't recommend you to come along." ”

Lady Herclairy is tasked with asking the adventurers to retrieve their children and, if not, bring back their Seals, and Tarragon's Golden Seals have been found and can be exchanged for 500 gold as a reward for the mission.

Kirito's strength is undoubted, Besco has been the same silver rank as Todak after he advanced, but he still can't see through Kirito's level - and compared to the rank, this black swordsman is even more powerful because of his stable swordsmanship, in several skirmishes, Kirito has not done a single offensive or defensive useless work.

Kirito advises them not to get involved in the rest of the exploration, but several adventurers don't think so.

"There is danger ahead, but danger comes with wealth. Besco began, "If the enemy were just goblins and withered saplings that were being controlled, we should be able to handle it." ”

The breakthrough from bronze to silver was also quite a change, and the Wanderer now has full confidence in himself.

"Our Lord has said that wealth is the most beautiful thing in the world. The dwarf priest said reverently—he had changed a phrase from somewhere into a quote from a god.

"If you're just trying to find Miss Salvin, maybe you don't have to face Belik. Shirley whispered, "It's been three weeks since they've been taken down, and they must have been thrown into an unknown corner by the Vault Dweller." ”

Although Shirley didn't say the word corpse, everyone present understood.

The adventurers who explored the ruins a month ago were probably all gone. (To be continued.) )
