Chapter 377: Killing Blade
"Is this the Crack Helmet?"
Townsend stroked the shiny helmet in his hand.
He could feel that beneath the smooth surface of the helmet was a dense network of extremely profound magical runes.
Of course, now that these runes have been hidden, this helmet has been used once just now, and if you want to use it again, you will have to wait at least a week, and it will also require the user to have extremely strong magical power.
Of course, Townsend can't use it now, but he is not in a hurry, magic is not something difficult for Townsend to obtain, maybe the mages of this world need to rely on daily meditation to make their magic stronger and stronger, and for Townsend -
Just eat more.
"Fortunately, there were no accidents." Although the priest seemed weak in front of Town, he was a real strong man for the adventurers, and in fact, the process of taking the helmet was simpler than expected, and there was not even any dispute.
The priest just showed up and took the helmet from the angry eyes of the adventurers.
"Now that the Resurrection Stone and Cleavage Helmet are in hand, all you need to do is find the Guide and the Wanderer, and you're ready to set off for the Eternal Wilderness."
By evening, Barn and Trish had finally returned to Neverwinter.
The moment he saw Towngson, Barn rushed up excitedly and shouted, "I've heard about it!" The lord of Neverwinter and Serre's red-robed mage collude in an attempt to turn Neverwinter into a city of the undead! β
He spoke quickly, "Mr. Townsen, you must have stopped them, right?" β
"Of course not, I'm not involved in this." Tang Sen shook his head and diverted the subject: "Where did you hear that?" β
"It's rumored all over the street that they say it's a team of adventurers who stopped Searle's red-robed mage of the Nine Rings." Barn sneered, "That's the Nine-Ring Mage, how can there be such a powerful adventurer in Neverwinter?" The most powerful person I can think of is you. β
"Moreover, you also informed us in advance that something big would happen today."
"It's a shame that I wouldn't have been out of town if I had known." Trish interjected, "That's the Nine-Ring Mage."
The corners of Townsen's mouth twitched.
He had no doubt that Trish didn't mean to meet the Nine Rings Mage, as her teacher was a legendary mage.
The other party obviously felt that she had missed out on a legendary adventure, and if Trish was in the city, she would not hesitate to shoot a fireball spell at the Nine-Ring Mage.
"Let's get down to business." "If we're looking for a guide and a powerful wanderer, where should we go?" Of course, it would be best if the two could be the same person. β
Barn's expression suddenly became more serious, and he said, "The words of the wanderer. Maybe you can go to the Wanderers Association, but those people are not trustworthy. β
He frowned: "It's the base camp of almost all thieves and killers, and I often hear some stories. While some of the adventurers managed to reap the rewards, the wanderers in the party quietly took their lives in the camp and then took all the gains. β
"I'm not saying that all wanderers are not trustworthy, but it's hard to find a wanderer who makes his fortune purely out of adventure, rather than preferring to get something for nothing."
For example, Maris, the other party obviously belongs to the kind of wanderer that Barn said, but even so, the other party has an unusual desire for money and profit.
"So, we'll have to try our luck at the tavern?" Townsend frowned.
"Everybody does it." "Sometimes, in order to find a suitable team-mate, we have to stay somewhere for a long time. β
Townsend knew Bath was right, but he really didn't like to take chances.
"I have a candidate!" Tracey next to her suddenly spoke.
The two of them suddenly looked over with surprised eyes.
"If I'm not mistaken, you're supposed to be your first time in Neverwinter." "And, you've just finished your first adventure," Barn said. The only wanderer you know should be Maris. β
"If you're going to propose Marisβ"
"No, it's not." Trish hurriedly said, "It's another wanderer." β
She paused, "I really don't know her, but I've heard her story, and if I'm looking for someone who is both familiar with the Eternal Wasteland and experienced in exploring ruins, I really can't think of a better person than her." β
"And, she should be in Neverwinter."
"Story?" Barn had a funny expression, "Trish, most of the adventure stories you hear are fiction. β
Trish suddenly showed a stubborn look: "Naomi Hanni's story is true!" β
Barn was stunned, "Naomi Hanni?" β
"You're talking about the Giant Slayer? The wanderer who once succeeded in assassinating the Giant King of the Hill of the Eternal Wasteland? β
"That's right!" Trish's eyes lit up and she nodded: "I have lived alone in the Eternal Wilderness for three full years, with countless legendary adventures, known as the dancer in the shadows, the woman of the Killing Blade, Naomi Hanny!" β
"I'm familiar with every story of her, how she was banished, how she single-handedly wiped out the dozen or so assassins sent by the Night Mask, how she survived in the wasteland with her very limited resources, and terrified the evil creatures of the wastelandβ"
Trish began to gush on and on about Naomi Hanni, but Barn's face was not good.
"No, no, no, no." He shook his head repeatedly: "I don't think it's a good idea. β
"Don't you know? Even in the Black Lake District, few people dare to mention her name. This person is absolutely cold-blooded and ruthless, and does not feel the slightest sense of the passing of life, and when she cuts your neck, maybe you just feel a breeze and you don't even know that you are dead. β
"She's never going to be a good teammate, she's a lone ranger, she's just going to kill every creature she sees."
Saying this, Barn shuddered: "No, I can't imagine that even standing with her will make me feel creepy. β
This made Townsend couldn't help but be curious, as a dwarf who was not afraid of heaven and earth, Barn actually behaved like this just because of a name?
"So, this Naomi Hanny you're talking about is indeed in Neverwinter?" Townsend asked.
"Everybody knows she's in Neverwinter, and, everybody, everybody, even knows where she lives." "But no one will approach her," Barn said. β
Tang Sen nodded, thoughtful: "Then it's decided." β
"Let's meet this so-called Killing Blade for a moment."
