Chapter 12: Savina in Action
There is a saying in the ancient East that you know yourself and your opponent, and you will not be defeated in a hundred battles, which translates to that only by knowing your own enemy can you defeat him.
Savina wasn't carried away by the human tragedy that happened at Randy's Orphanage, though her eyes were red, her breath was short, and she was full of anger.
Calling for Efeld, Savina rushes to the Adventurers' Guild to catch the killers of the orphans and elves, and Savina must obtain more information, including the Dark Elves' surname, the area where they appear, the time of the event, the way to fight, and so on.
Walking into the Adventurers' Guild, Shavina talked to the staff who received the quest for a while, and the staff walked to the list of tasks that announced the quest under the gaze of the adventurers in the hall, and a new scroll hung on the list.
"Mission: Contains information about the Dark Elves near Waterdeep, including but not limited to customs, behavior, where they appear, and combat prowess. Reward: Depends on the important surname of the intelligence. ”
Dark Regions
"Dart, are the results out?"
Sherlock sighed as he stood beside the dying mutant Lothmon, stroking its head and asking Dart, the captain of the guard.
"The statistical results have come out, because Mr. Bajie killed the leader of the Dreadclaw Monster as quickly as possible, so the battle of the Dreadclaw Monster is not strong, only three people were slightly injured, and the Lothmon died one, and we killed a total of seventeen adult Dreadclaw Monsters. Collect it, and you can offset today's losses. ”
"Then do what I said. ”
Darton turned and pushed away, leaving Sherlock to continue to sigh.
After an encounter with the Dark Gold Caravan, it was finally decided to rest in this vault for the rest of the day. Everyone has a clear division of labor, setting up tents, picking up combustibles, setting up sentry posts, bandaging wounds, handling food, everything is in order.
Zhu Ba stood quietly by the lake, the deep lake water was rippling slightly, even Zhu Ba's thoughts did not detect the depth of this lake, countless fluorescences flashed under the lake, it was the creatures in the lake swimming and foraging.
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so close to the lake. ”
"Why?"
Saltu's words came from behind Zhu Ba, who didn't look back, just bent down and picked up a few smooth oval pebbles from the lake, and then tied them with a thin tent rope, his eyes fixed on the lake.
"Lakes in the dark are usually very deep, and may have two or more different vaults connected to them, and it is also very likely that the lakes are hiding dangerous creatures, such as giant crocodiles underground. ”
A few bits of fluorescence slowly swept through the water in front of Zhu Ba, on the surface of the lake, a cave bat was greedily preying on tiny insects, but while it was enjoying its food, it was already considered a delicacy by other creatures.
The closer you get to the lake, the denser the insects become, and the cave bats, lured by the delicious insects, fly lower and lower, their wings already on the surface. Two graceful arcs were drawn, and then a little fluorescence rushed from the bottom of the lake to the surface of the lake, and in the splash, a huge lake fish five or six feet long had already rushed out of the water, and used its fanged mouth to catch the cave bats flying low on the lake.
But before he had fallen into the water, a pebble had been shot into one of its eye sockets, and a rope had been shot out of the other eye socket, and then a whirl, already tied into a slipknot.
The brain-dead lake fish fell into the lake water, its tail wagging violently, and the fluorescence in the water also felt the blood and dying struggles of its kind, and moved towards the surface of the water.
"That would be better, maybe a better dinner in the evening. ”
Zhu Ba's wrist flicked, and the rope with the lake fish had already burst out of the water, leaving no chance for those greedy fluorescents, holding the fish in his hand, Zhu Ba turned around and walked towards the camp.
"I already have dinner, do you want to eat it together?"
Saltu stared at Zhu Ba's back, his pupils slowly contracting.
The bonfire is blazing, and people who have experienced a moment of life and death need to relax, and a carnival is born. The big fish caught by Zhu Ba became the protagonist of the banquet, and Sherlock graciously let the guards eat the dead mutant Lothmon Kaka into their stomachs, but kept one tooth.
Raising the leather wine bag in his hand, Zhu Ba poured a mouthful of mellow and soft wine liquid, looking at Sherlock, whose teeth were still a little gloomy with his teeth closed, Zhu Ba asked suspiciously.
"Since you have such a good relationship with that Lothmon, why don't you bury it instead of giving us a meal?"
Sherlock patted his chest to make sure that the teeth had indeed fallen into it, and then he raised his head and stared at Zhu Ba's eyes seriously.
"It seems that you haven't really adapted to life in the dark realm, where everything has to be put to good use, because you don't know what's going to happen in the next moment. ”
"If I bury Kaka, then we will not only lose a nutritious meal of meat, but also consume more reserve food, as well as labor, I am the president of the Chamber of Commerce, I must consider the overall situation, wasting resources is not allowed. ”
Zhu Ba looked at Sherlock's eyes, there was sadness, emotion, and gloom in them, but there was no loss, and Zhu Ba also fell silently into deep thought.
The bonfire continued until the flames were completely extinguished, and the guards, filled with wine and the flesh of the Los beast, swarmed each other back into their tents, and soon the gently rippling lakeside was filled with snoring and snoring, mixed with dream words spoken in different languages.
Waterdeep
Shavina's bounty mission quickly came to fruition. In one day, most of the adventurers had skimmed through Shavina's bounty quests, and then information continued to be sent to Shavina, and Shavina's money bag was drying up at a faster rate. But Savina didn't care, as long as she could help Ruphne and the other elves avenge it, no amount of money would be spent.
"The surname of the dark elves, the appearance of the dark elves, the weapons and combat power commonly used by the dark elves......"
Shavina sorted out the information at hand, reading it and keeping it in her heart.
"Knock knock~"
"Please come in. ”
There was a soft knock at the door, and Shavina didn't look up, but said please come in. She's now in a dedicated room for the Adventurers' Guild, where there will be no dark elves or any threats.
The door opened slightly, and a small head came in, with big eyes that turned flexibly, and a head full of brilliant blonde hair, and a little boy of seven or eight years old in a cute pair of suspenders entered.
"Sister Shavina!"
The little boy ran to Savina with a shout...... Efeld, who was quietly squatting beside him, then expertly climbed up his back. Efeld could only roll his eyes and let the little one wreak havoc on him, making a mess of his neat hair.
The little boy's name is Parker, and Savina was dragged by Aisha to rescue his sister from the Spider's lair the day after she arrived in Waterdeep, and the little guy later got caught up with Savina and followed her every day. And when Efeld returned, the little guy used Efeld's body as a bed.
"Parker, why did you come so early today?"
Shavina asked softly by patting Parker's little head lovingly.
"Because Parker wants Sister Savina, and Parker's brother wants to find Sister Savina to hand in a task!"
Little Parker said happily with wide eyes.
As little Parker spoke, there was a sudden soft knock from the Voids, followed by the voice of the Adventurer's Guild attendant.
"Is that Miss Savina in there? There's a mage with important information you need, but he's going to give it to you in person. ”
"Let him in. ”
The door opened softly, and a handsome young man dressed in a junior mage's robe entered, he was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with blonde hair as bright as little Parker, big eyes, and slightly baby-fat cheeks that resembled little Parker by seven points.
The little mage walked over to Shavina's table, moved his chair and sat down gently, and little Parker climbed off Efeld's top of him and slipped happily into his arms.
"Hello, Miss Savina, I'm little Parker's older brother, the first-class mage of the Black Rod Tower of Waterdeep, Sok Nakoni, I happen to have some information about some dark elves here, and I must be Miss Savina's needs. (To be continued.) )
