Chapter 33: Threesome
It was only a day or two before the time of departure, and Lena finally made a decision before departure, planning to go with Davien and Priest. Of the two, Priest was calmer, just showing his friendliness, while Davion was much more enthusiastic, whether it was curious about Lina or because she was a beauty, Davian often took the initiative to come over and chat with Lena, maybe it was because Olesia had been bored for too long after she left.
After two days of contact, Lena's attitude towards Davian was much better, and her own personality was very cheerful, so she quickly got along with the two. After the little city lord found out, he was also very pleased, and ordered his men to bring a lot of supplies to the three of them, so that they could need it from time to time, as for weapons, there was no funding, and good weapons would often become a burden and a source of danger for them. After the three of them got acquainted, they also showed each other their magic for the first time, which can be regarded as giving each other the most basic trust.
The first is that Priest's healing ability is appreciated by the two, and many times on the battlefield what is lacking is not enough damage, but the wounded are not treated in time and the casualties are magnified. The first lesson of all generals on the battlefield is to solve the problem of casualties. And the attribute of the Holy Light to damage is also very much agreed with Lina, who has a fiery personality, has long been tired of those old-fashioned and gentle gentlemen, and it is her style to send the enemy on the road with a fireball, which makes Priest feel much better. It's just that when Priest showed his magic immunity, there was something wrong with Lena's look at the familiar cover, but it wasn't noticed by the two.
In contrast, Lena's outburst was a bit jaw-dropping. Her magic is all fire magic, and the rest of the magic has not been learned at all, it can be said that the pursuit of fire magic is to the extreme, and her affinity for the fire element is not bad, so that when she releases the magic, her speed has been greatly improved due to the abundance of the fire element, and the flying fire element gives her a mage a lot of flexibility. The two signature spells she unleashed were even more lethal, one was about the same as Davion's dragon breath, and the other was a pillar of fire summoned from the ground, which was not only amazingly destructive, but also made enemies stunned and immobile. If an ordinary enemy is not noticed, it is very likely that he will be killed directly by Lina, and he can be regarded as a pursuer of violent aesthetics. This made the two men embarrassed, and they discussed behind their backs that they would try not to provoke Lina as much as possible, so as not to lose the rest of their lives.
In this way, Davian seems to be too ordinary. Although Davion's use of the shield is also getting better, and he is very flexible in the transition of defense and shield strikes, he was still laughed at loudly by Lena for a long time, and swept away the depression caused by the choice in his heart a few days ago. Davian was a little embarrassed on the spot, if it weren't for the fact that Lena was a girl, I was afraid that she would have to go up and scuffle. Priest, of course, knew what Davian's hole cards were, and when he saw Davian so deflated and snickered in his heart, he was a lot less depressed.
Of course, Davion then had to ask Priest how the pressure of the previous exchange had come about. Priest could only explain to the two of them that it was called a weakened aura, which was a natural result of the ascetic's years of practice. It can greatly reduce the speed of the enemy, giving people the feeling of falling into a thousand pounds, which is why Davian suddenly felt that he was much heavier at that time. "Alas, it's a pity that this aura is extremely flawed. While Lena and Davion were talking about it, Priest gave them a basin of cold water. "That is, this aura can only exist one or two meters around me, which means that it can only be effective when fighting the enemy in close quarters. ”
"......Forehead" both of them are a little speechless, the role of the aura is recognized as the main thing is to change the pattern of the entire battlefield, often a very ordinary aura brings a small gain, just like adding a weight to your own side on the balance of war, as time goes by, the contribution will be greater and greater, the more famous is naturally the "** armor" of the tree spirit guard Rubteron, which can heal the injuries of one's own side on a battlefield. It's a pity that this aura of Priest can only be useful at close range, and the effect is greatly reduced, from a battlefield weapon to a small-scale conflict that can only be useful, even if it can only be used on a single body, as long as it is a flying monster like a two-legged wyvern, the frost dragon may have a miraculous effect.
"It's okay, at least the encounter or something still has a big effect. Lina comforted Priest in turn, who shook her head and said she didn't care.
The three of them have learned to cooperate a few times in the past few days, although they are not skilled, let alone have a good heart, but they still look good.
"It should be fine," Lena was alone in the room packing her things, she had been mingling with adventurers and mercenaries, and her money-loving nature was comparable to that of dragons, making her much more wary than Priest. The adventurous life outside also gave her a deep appreciation of the sinister nature of the human heart, and if it weren't for the request of the little city lord, she would never be willing to go on the road with the two men she met for the first time.
"Hmph, put my things away, whew, put them all away, whew, and then talk about it. Lena gasped and gritted her teeth as she squeezed the package, squeezing out a small ravine from the already large mountain peaks on her chest, which made people think about it. If anyone were here, they would be amazed at Lena's "luggage", which was rich enough to make a small mercenary group desperately angry. I don't know what method Lena used, she was tired of such wealth at a young age. "Alas, this time it's free odd jobs again. Lena seemed dissatisfied with her wealth.
The night before departure, Wei Lin personally sent someone to call the three of them over to discuss the itinerary, although it was largely for the sake of the little city lord's face, the three of them still felt that they had more face, and felt heartfelt joy from the inside out, so they hurried over.
After entering the door, the three of them found that most of the people had arrived. Some people also showed disdainful expressions when they saw the three young people walking in, but because of Wei Lin's presence, it was difficult to refute his face. More of the older generation is turning a blind eye, as long as Davian and they don't lag behind along the way, they won't have too many opinions, after all, it has nothing to do with themselves, the golden gold will solve the contradictions caused by most emotions, and more in the team is better than less.
After the three of them entered the door, they didn't pay much attention to the eyes of others, they were all the first time to participate in such a meeting, and they were inevitably a little nervous, how could they be distracted and pay attention to the surrounding environment. This is where Priest has experienced more, but unfortunately he has been sharpening himself at the bottom of society, and this is the first time he has participated in this level of meeting, but fortunately, his good upbringing and habits since childhood make him seem to be a qualified and pious knight on the surface.
Wei Lin didn't put up any shelves, and when he saw the three of them coming in, he asked them to find a random chair to sit down, and then motioned for everyone to start. In the Joseph family, because of Willin, the seating and pomp were not particularly important, and the old aristocratic rules were completely set aside here, and the opening tirade that the nobles were proud of was deleted by this practical and direct way of meeting, as random and unscrupulous as cutting off the hair on the horse. Practicality and efficiency are the main themes here, and the aristocracy, always pride-conscious, tends to selectively ignore the reforms of their fellow citizens, who are full of whimsical ideas, and those accustomed to the nostalgia of the psalms, carols, and dance tass are always with their eyes, classifying the merchants as mercenary villains and conspirators, and ignoring the reforms brought about by practicality.
In this meeting, except for the unwritten rule that the front position is generally reserved for those with prestige and status in the team, the rest is quite arbitrary. Most people have their own positions and circles, and rarely make any shocking moves.
Wei Lin naturally talked a lot of scenes at the beginning, saying something about joint efforts or something, but Davian didn't listen to a word. No matter how practical it is, there are still dozens of opening lines. After that, Wei Lin began to arrange their own tasks, and the tasks of the rest of the people have generally not changed, after all, they have been traveling together for so many years, and there is still mutual understanding and responsibility allocation. In the process of explaining, he also introduced the three Davian by the way, and put them under the command of Xiulis, who were responsible for the safety of the convoy together, and asked Xiulisi to take care of the three young people more. After Wei Lin said this, seeing that everyone had no opinions, he paused for a moment before continuing.
"This time we shipped not only some weapons and armor, but also a lot of spices and food. Of course, I, Weilin, will not use grain to earn those demonic dirty money like everyone else, and the wealth obtained in that way, even if it is placed in the deepest cellar, can make people smell rotten hearts from afar. This time I suddenly brought food was also entrusted by the Guards Legion, and I just helped by the way, and our Joseph family should be a family with a bottom line. Joseph Weilin glanced at the audience, once again emphasized the family's view of wealth, and saw that everyone did not react much, before continuing, "The weather has just entered the autumn of the harvest, and it is still necessary to prevent a series of things such as rain and dampness of the grain. No one would expect anything from a merchant who can't take care of his goods and loses his integrity," Willin turned his head to look at a burly human, "Korov, I'll leave this matter to you, be careful." Korov did not refuse, and simply agreed.
Speaking of Xiulis, he can be regarded as an old man who follows Wei Lin, he has been by Wei Lin's side since he entered the industry. As an orc, he has an elf-like name, but his mind is very similar to that of an elf, very delicate, and it can be said that his heart is as meticulous as a hair. When he first joined Wei Lin's subordinates, Wei Lin was accumulating his strength little by little, and as time went by, the Joseph family's estate became bigger and bigger, but Xiu Lisi never had any other ideas, and he has always been honestly by his side, which is why he was not the first to follow Wei Lin but he can still be really used by Wei Lin. He is still relatively easy-going, which is more in line with Wei Lin's intentions, and he doesn't want the three of them to be treated unfairly by handing over Davian to him.
"Okay, since the meeting is almost over, let's disperse and gather at the city gate early tomorrow morning. At the end of the meeting, Wei Lin stood up and said to everyone. "Hulis, you take them back with you. The latter nodded, turned to the trio, and asked them to follow him. Davian naturally didn't have any opinions, and hurriedly followed behind Xiulis.
