181 Gifts for two.
"Where is Little Rock?"
Hearing this sudden question, the two were stunned for a long time. Victoria was still searching in her head, and Annina, a thief, had already spoken.
"Little Rock is a very remote place. She paused slightly, collecting her thoughts. "Well, there are three forks in the road from Rum, outside of Fort Orleans, across the border, to Manchester and out of town. Follow the trail at the bottom, horseback riding takes about a day, and you will be in Little Rock. ”
"Oh. Ronald nodded and didn't say anything more.
"It's just a small town on the back, is there anything good there?" asked Anina with a grin.
"It's nothing, I met a rebel army and heard them mention this place. ”
Annina's eyebrows raised: "Rebels?"
In his ear, Ronald didn't seem to hear Anina's inquiry. He hung his head down, his brow furrowed slightly, immersed in his thoughts. Seeing Ronald's silent expression, both of them also quietly stopped speaking.
Ronald quickly pulled back from his thoughts.
"Hah, that's right!"
He tapped the corner of the table, took out the Dagger, and placed it on the table. He looked at the two of them and finally decided to give it to Anina, after all, she was a thief.
"Annina, it's just a good time for you to come back. With a push of his hand, he shoved the Demon Breaker dagger, which glowed with a faint metallic sheen from the weapon's surface, into her position. "Something that can break through a third-order magic shield. I tried it, and the sharpness and tenacity were good, and it took almost no effort to cut the ordinary steel sword easily. ”
Ronald introduced with a faint expression, but Annina, who had not yet reached that realm, knew very well the value of this demon-breaking dagger. "Such a valuable ......"
"Weapons should be used on the right people. Ronald smiled kindly.
Anina only hesitated slightly, then picked up the demon-breaking dagger and played with it. Together with the handle, it is about 30 centimeters long, and the whole is pitch black, with almost no gauntlets. She slashed lightly, feeling lighter than a normal dagger, and barely audible as she swung it.
Anina pulled out a throwing knife and touched each other lightly.
Bite.
The knife broke in two, and the remnant blade made a crisp sound on the ground.
She found that, as Ronald had claimed, it was extremely sharp. "Can you break the third-order magic shield? have you confirmed it?" her professional habits as a thief made her ask very cautiously: "If it is true, the value of this dagger is ......"
Ronald pointed to his eyes and added with a smile: "See it with your own eyes." The divine shield that Paladin provoked was easily broken through the magic protection. ”
Anina exclaimed, "Divine shield, the most protective magic shield of the third-order spells?"
Not only her, but even Victoria beside her was slightly moved. "If that's the case, then this dagger is worth a fortune. ””
"No scabbard found. Ronald was still calm: "You can get one yourself." ”
"Hah, then you're welcome. Anina sighed and replaced her one-star dagger without hesitation. Then, she took out a small bag of magic crystals from her demon pattern bag and threw it beside Ronald lightly: "Dozens." ”
"What kind of treasure can break through the third-order divine shield protection?"
The mage's voice came from outside the house. Christine paced through the door unhurriedly and nodded at Ronald, "Are things going well?"
"Well, it went well. After Ronald put it away, he took out a design of the costume: "Victoria, look at this." Annina, you take a look too. And he, as the two of Victoria looked at the blueprint, looked at the mage, "Kerry, are you alone?"
The mage smiled bitterly and spread his hands: "Didn't I tell you the reason why he came that time?"
"Oh. Ronald's eyes squinted, and he quickly recalled, "Still going to the priest?"
"Of course, it was for Marilyn's sake. ”
Ronald's eyes narrowed, and some worry flashed in his aqua blue eyes: "But the current situation ......"
"You designed this?" Annina called out in fuss, interrupting the conversation between Ronald and the mage.
"What is it?" Seeing his daughter so out of shape, the mage couldn't help but be interested.
"See for yourself. Anina held out her hand.
The mage took it curiously and began to study it. However, after discovering what appeared to be the design of the costume, he immediately lost interest and handed the note back to Anina.
Anina shook her head and handed the blueprint to Ronald.
Ronald didn't stretch out his hand, but asked them, "What do you think of this dress?"
"It seems to be quite easy to put on. Victoria frowned, and said what she thought, "But it's a bit ...... in this costume," she muttered, and couldn't find a suitable description for a moment.
"I think it's good!" Anina held up the design with an excited face: "The clothes for women need to be novel and interesting." She pouted at Victoria, who was dressed in armor: "Look at those noble companions you knew before, which one is not eager to wear something new that no one else wears?"
Seeing Victoria's frowning expression, she couldn't help but tease: "Look at you, you wear armor all day long, and you don't smell like sweat." ”
"Yes, yes?"
Victoria couldn't help but blush a little when she was said.
Seeing her panicked expression with her head down and nose moving, not only Annina, but even Ronald and the others smiled.
"Well, now that we've decided to re-establish our power, we'll have to find some sources of income. Ronald motioned for Victoria to put the blueprint away: "When the time comes, go find a few tailors and ask them what they think." ”
He remembered that the matter in Moon Bay had not yet been resolved, so he turned the conversation in this direction.
"The Problem ...... Moon Bay"
At the mention of this, the atmosphere that was still a little active just now became a little dull.
"Not yet. Ronald calculated the time of his departure: "Tell me, what's in the neighborhood?"
"You...... Shall we go?" Victoria was a little unwilling.
Ronald puffed out a smile: "Haha, the sooner this matter is resolved, isn't it better?" He looked around at the three people in silence: "The current situation may be a good opportunity." ”
"That's right, Ro. The mage nodded repeatedly: "There is more and more news about Protestants. Although I have heard a lot of incidents of repression, there are rebels in each of the small countries that have been invaded at the same time. I have to say, this is a really good time. ”
"I think the nobles who guard the border are all busy. ”
Hearing the mage's analysis, Anina also echoed: "That's right, I've heard a lot of rumors along the way. The situation became more and more serious, and before the hanged bodies outside the city could be dried, a new batch of death row prisoners were replaced. Inside the city, rumors spread that many minor nobles had died in Fort Orleans, and it was said that they had been assassinated by the rebels. ”
Ronald interrupted Anina with a wave of his hand: "Who has the map?"
Victoria hurriedly took out the map and spread it out on the table. She adjusted the map to where Ronald was, and when she was done, she pointed to the area where Moon Bay was located: "Those lizardmen are entrenched there. ”
Seeing that Ronald was carefully looking at the map, Victoria was afraid that he would not know the lizardman's abilities, so he hurriedly whispered the lizardman's characteristics to him.
Lizardmen, belonging to the orcs.
The difference between orcs and half-orcs is the shape of their faces. Half-orc, with a human-like face and a human-like body. On the other hand, the orcs are more intelligent.
Orcs are intelligent creatures that bear the head of a beast but resemble a human body. Or simply like a beast walking upright. The difference is that these erect beasts have rudimentary language and wisdom.
Lizardmen are the latter of orcs - like large lizards that walk upright on their hind legs.
They are about two meters tall and move quickly in swampy terrain, being able to get on all fours and crawl quickly when necessary. They are able to use simple tools and are about the same as formally trained soldiers. And the weapons used by the lizardmen to fight, in addition to the wooden spear, are bows and arrows.
Compared to the sophistication of human craftsmanship, the weapons they use can be described as completely shoddy.
"But we can't underestimate them because of that. Speaking of these, Victoria, who volunteered to solve it at the beginning, but suffered some hardships, couldn't help but feel a little ashamed. "The weapons are all coated with poison, and the poison is very strong. ”
After listening calmly, Ronald suddenly looked up.
"Where's Little Rock?"
Anina hurriedly stretched out her hand and pointed out the general location of Little Rock: "Probably this one." ”
"Do you need anything to prepare?" Sensing the determination in Ronald's eyes, Victoria was still a little worried.
Ronald's gaze did not look at Victoria with concern, but at the mage: "Kerry, are you interested in going to Moon Bay with me?"
Christine couldn't help but be stunned. "Just the two of us?"
Ronald nodded: "That's right, the two of us." ”
"Okay. ”
He replied faintly. Although he didn't figure it out, according to his judgment, Ronald should be able to easily deal with these lizards. But Ronald suddenly pulled himself up, apparently there was something he wanted to say to himself alone.
What is the problem?
He was intrigued.
"And when are we leaving?"
Ronald did not hesitate, and replied crisply: "If there is nothing to do, let's leave later, I want to solve these problems as soon as possible." ”
He stood up, gently pushed the map to Victoria's side, and motioned for Victoria to put it away. And he himself, tilting his head to the mage, his eyes burning.
"If I have enough time, I'm going to stop by Little Rock. ”
Looking at his friend's resolute appearance, the mage readily agreed. "No problem. (To be continued.) )
