Chapter 38: The so-called husband and wife
"Where do you look like an adventurer, and you turn a blind eye to your own fallen men!"
"Aren't you my loyal dog?"
Wang Ming and Yu Huang looked at Yueying with a look of disdain.
Jester found that everyone on the field was despised again, and only he was the only one who was qualified to interject, so he hurriedly persuaded him.
"Aren't you okay, in the end, you also relied on your own strength to kill? Actually, there is no need to ask the eldest sister for help, right?"
Wang Ming's feather phoenix looked at the last survivor with disdain.
Feather Phoenix stared at Jester with resentful eyes, and the latter's back was wet with cold sweat under that gaze.
Yu Huang said in an excited voice, "Are you qualified to say this? You are no better!"
One hour and fifty-one minutes ago.
Holding the feather phoenix in his arms, Wang Ming curled up in the belly of the giant beast full of mucus and tentacles, he supported a weak shield, enduring the lack of oxygen and the confined space.
"Damn, are you going to die here?"
Yu Huang opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Wang Ming's face less than ten centimeters away from him, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"Sure enough, you're dead too? Great, you'll be in the same cave after death!"
Wang Ming: "......"
If he stays any longer, maybe he will really die here, Wang Ming thought about hundreds of plans in his mind, but he felt that it was not feasible.
In the end, it was decided to break out.
"Since it is useless to call for artillery strikes, call 110, petition, and doxing, then Lao Tzu has no choice but to do it himself!"
"Pick up!Extremely effective.Slut Storm~"
The giant beast, which was lying on the ground digesting its food, began to swell up. It blinked in confusion. The body is getting bigger and bigger like a balloon. In the end, it exploded with a bang, turning into countless fragments, and the fragments hit the shields of Moon Sakura and Cangyang, slowly sliding down.
Wang Ming hugged the feather phoenix, stood at the top of the tornado pillar of the sword storm, and greeted the two: "Yo, you still have time to open the shield, you bastards...... Forget it. Leave this monster to me! β
Wang Ming kicked the ground, and with the help of the updraft of the sword blade storm, he rushed to Xinglian's side, and easily stuffed the feather phoenix into Xinglian's hand.
Because she has been holding the feather phoenix for a long time, the star ripples who have developed a habit in her body reflexively hugged Lori, and when she raised her head, she saw Wang Ming's eyes emitting colorful fluorescence.
"You're sleepy, you're very sleepy, you just want to get some sleep, and then you'll be boating on the lake with your favorite person......"
Xinglian smiled sluggishly. Saliva flowed from the corners of his mouth: "Hey, hey, Wang Ming." It's better for you to row, people can't row......"
Wang Ming: "......"
Cangyang and Yueying walked to the three of them, and Yueying asked, "Are you okay?"
"Well, Xiao Huang broke through the master's magic defense, and then I used illusion to invade her soul sea, and directly blasted the master into slag. β
In the remains of the giant beast, a bloodied figure stood up, and a terrifying aura swept through the hall with the figure.
"Die, monster! I'm going to fight you to the death!!"
Then Jester pounced on the men with red eyes.
Feather Phoenix unfolded her fragile shield to hold Jester's sword: "I'm X! Is this guy bitten by a mad dog! Hold him! Hold him down!"
Tsukizakura desperately twisted Jester's hand: "Disarm first!"
Facing Jester, who broke free from the moon cherry control, Cangyang took out a stuffy stick: "Wouldn't it be better to put down a stick?"
Wang Ming took dozens of swords in a row in an instant: "What a fast sword! I can't stand it!"
ββββββββββββ
"As a result, the most troublesome boss we have encountered is you! It took us a full hour to subdue you! What qualifications do you have to speak!"
Jester bowed his head in shame.
Yu Huang and Wang Ming's disdainful eyes looked around at everyone on the field, and finally the two looked at each other, and countless sparks collided with their blazing gaze.
Jester whispered, "The two of them ......"
Xinglian said: "There are good husband and wife ...... each other"
Yueying crossed her arms and said, "Just get married!"
Cangyang said expressionlessly: "Seconded." β
ββββββββββββ Yueying had a lot of headaches, not only because of the huge amount of money owed by Wang Ming, but also because of other things.
For example, they had promised to heal Jester's sister's body eroded by the dark element, but that kind of healing could only be achieved with high-level divine arts. In other words, Wang Ming and his entourage wrote a blank check.
Wang Ming asked curiously, "Eldest sister, can't you treat it?"
Xing Lian echoed: "That's it, isn't the eldest sister even able to lift the curse of the black sword?"
Yue Ying replied helplessly: "No way, according to the information given by Jester, this kind of dark element erosion affected by the [Extreme Effect.Death Cloud Technique] is beyond my ability, if it is the dark energy erosion caused by the dark spell below the seventh order, I have a way to treat it." It's a pity that after the extreme effect, the intensity of the dark energy released by the Death Cloud Technique has reached the Cheng dΓΉ of the eighth-order magic. I can also cure small spells such as malicious heart nails, level 8 magic...... You'd better go to a regular hospital!"
Cangyang put down the telescope that locked onto a black spot in the distance, and said expressionlessly: "The target has entered the territory of the empire, the optical monitoring is over, and it has been changed to arcane monitoring." β
Tsukizakura rested her head on her hands crossed behind her head, and said in a wandering voice, "Look, we've already broken up Jester, just get the Divine Restoration Scroll ready before he comes back!"
Wang Ming used the brain, which was only the size of a walnut, to estimate: "How much does it cost...... Five-five-twenty-five......"
Xing Lian took out a piece of papyrus, holding two quills in each hand and moving quickly on the paper: "The broken furniture and wine in the tavern are a total of 40,000, plus the scroll of the Seventh Order Divine Restoration Technique, it is about 50,000 gold coins...... It may be cheaper on the black market, but it also costs money to get through the joints, so it is not considered...... Okay~It's a total of 90,000 gold coins~"
Wang Ming said suspiciously: "Isn't it just 40,000 plus 50,000? Why do you still have to list drafts?"
Then he took the papyrus. It reads: "Break the Tibetan wine: three bottles of blue sea and clouds." One hundred and fifty gold coins per bottle. Two small barrels of Red Dragon Fire, forty gold coins each, and one bottle of gold brandy with twelve bars broken, worth a thousand gold coins......"
Beneath these full pages of detail are written, totaling 90,000 gold coins.
Wang Ming covered his head: "There's no need to list everything, right?"
Xinglian said unabashedly: "Because I want to know where you squandered all this money, I don't want to make money with all my hard work, but I don't know where my gold coins went......"
By the way, on this continent. One gold coin is equivalent to a week's living expenses of an ordinary person, or rather, it is similar to a hundred yuan on earth...... I mean before inflation.
In other words, 90,000 gold coins is equivalent to 9 million yuan in debt......
Moreover, this is still a medieval world where the germ of capitalism has just emerged, and money is not so easy to earn.
ββββββββββββ
Wang Ming said worriedly: "How long do we have left?"
Tsukizakura fiddled with her hair nonchalantly, "There are still ten days left, and Jester and the God of Contract will be happy to kill you by then." β
"It seems that there is a way to make money. Let's go to the last dungeon again?" Wang Ming drank the wine glass in front of him, the colorless mysterious liquid adding a blush to his pale face.
Xinglian said with concern, "Mia! you can't drink. The body hasn't recovered yet!"
Wang Ming waved his hand: "It's okay, I'm very worried, if you don't let me drink, my heart will only hurt more." β
Xinglian held Wang Ming, who was about to fall: "But you are already drunk, how much have you drunk? a whole bottle of tequila? or brandy?"
Wang Ming said drunkenly: "Hey, hey, hey...... Cool white open ......"
Everyone: "......"
At this time, a young girl in armor walked in from outside the tavern, and the tailor-made armor fit very well, and it didn't walk up and down like ordinary armor. The girl had a splendid blonde hair that looked even more dazzling than the feathered one's. A conspicuous black bow tied the long hair into a ponytail and swayed gently with the girl's steps.
But what really attracted Wang Ming and his party was the sword on the girl's waist, the gorgeous sword was inserted in a scabbard engraved with elven language, although it was not unsheathed, the sword qi emanated from the scabbard, gathered on the metal ball with a weight at the top of the hilt, and turned into a golden flame.
The girl walked straight to the bar and asked the bartender, "Excuse me, how do you get to the Scarlet Moon Mountain, where the dragon lives?"
Wang Ming, who was drinking boiled water: "Poof-"
"Ahem, brave young knight, do you have something to do with Scarlet Moon Mountain?" Wang Ming asked tentatively, lest the girl be made into a refreshment for afternoon tea by Scarlet Moon.
The girl said with a serious face: "There is an evil dragon entrenched there that imprisons the princess, I want to slaughter that evil dragon and rescue Her Royal Highness the princess!"
Wang Ming thought about it carefully, with Scarlet Yue's character, it was impossible to kidnap the princess - she should just stay in the palace and not leave!
Besides, I haven't heard of any princesses being kidnapped recently?
Cangyang said expressionlessly: "I don't rule out this possibility, although this is really natural, and it is different from Xinglian, who pretends to be a pig and eats a tiger, but she is obviously not stupid enough to hear Cheng DΓΉ who mishears the task." β
Girl: "......"
Wang Ming relieved the siege and said: "...... Ah, that, Miss Knight, what is your name?"
The girl said: "Artoria, you can call me Toria, or call me Leah." β
Wang Ming began to determine how much benefit could be squeezed from this paladin who seemed to have just come out of the gang, and came to the conclusion that the future was limitless.
"Now, Leah, what's the matter with the kidnapped princess?"
Then Leah told everyone about what happened in the Duchy of Dusk a few days ago, the Grand Duke of Dusk Mountain [Dusk Mountain Purple] has a daughter named [Marisa], although no one knows who the princess's father is, but everyone will not doubt the mother-daughter relationship between the two, the evidence is not only that both of them have curly blonde hair, but also because both of them have a pair of purple eyes that gather majestic magic.
For this daughter, the Dukes of Dusk Mountain are not very fond of her, although the Dukes of Dusk Mountain are daughters, they are very concerned about government affairs and are a strong woman. Bei'er has a royal sister fan. Marisa was born. He was raised by the Mage Association that Twilight Mountain Purple threw to the principality. So much so that before she reached adulthood, she became a black-robed wizard with a fourth-order mage rank.
However, just a few days ago, a red dragon with a body length of more than 100 meters fell from the sky and took Princess Marisa away directly.
Wang Ming: "Is your intelligence only such as 'falling from the sky and being taken away directly'?"
"Because I wasn't there at the time of the incident, I got the news from the military. Tolia explained.
Wang Ming still couldn't figure it out: "Liya, how many steps are you?"
"I'm a third-order paladin, and I can already perform some first-order divine arts!, please don't question my strength!" said Liya sternly.
Wang Ming scratched his head. He asked euphemistically, "That, Liya, why did you come to save the princess? Whether it is the Holy See of Light or the military of the Duchy of the Dusk Mountain, there are many masters who are stronger than you, right?"
Leah: "Because it is the duty of every knight to save the princess, and ...... And ......"
Wang Ming: "And what?"
Leah: "And after rescuing the princess, the knight must marry the princess...... Ah, I don't want to marry Xiaosha! I am, I ...... I am...... I'm here to exercise the way of knighthood!" said Lia, with two red clouds on her face.
Wang Ming: "You don't have to explain to me...... Could it be that you are actually for the throne of the Duchy of the Dusk Mountains?"
Leah: "I'm a paladin!
Wang Ming sighed: "It's a pity, if you are a paladin of the Temple of Light, then you can get married and have children." β
Xing Lian blinked: "Aren't the Temple of Light and the Holy See of Light the same thing?"
Cangyang: "Unfortunately, no. β
ββββββββββββ
In the end, Wang Ming persuaded Liya. Trick her into the dungeon full of aliens.
"Yes, this is the dragon's lair! Miss Leah, this evil dragon is heinous, summoning countless monsters as thugs, burning and looting everywhere, and doing all kinds of evil......"
In the distant Crimson Moon Mountain, in a half-collapsed grotto, Scarlet Moon sneezed three times in a row, almost slashing the magic array under his claws.
Leah holds the sword in a strange posture, holding a shield in her right hand, while the ornate sword is held in her left hand.
"Well, it's not in accordance with the rules of knighthood to conceal such a secret, and you'll surely find out about it later...... Actually, my hands ...... Problematic ......"
A monster with thick hind legs pounced on Riya, and Liya swung her sword and swayed, leaving a barrier of sword shadows in the air, and the monster was mounted on the sword shadow barrier, like a paper roll stuffed into a meat grinder, and the part that was touched disappeared directly, and the only thing left was a layer of debris suspended in the air around it.
Cang Yang muttered in an expressionless low voice: "The speed of the sword tip is two hundred meters per second, the density of the sword shadow, eighty-seven paths per second, the defense level: the average value of the fifth-order protective spell, and the melee lethality: the second-order kills the third-order level agility mutant creatures......"
Wang Ming patted Cangyang's shoulder: "There's no need to do research all the time, right?
Cangyang turned around and broke free of Wang Ming's claws on her shoulder: "I can't play." β
Wang Ming, who was embarrassed, had no choice but to shift his attention to Liya: "Miss Liya, you said that you have a problem with your hand, what is going on?"
Leah thrust her sword back into her scabbard, then spread out her white left hand.
"My hands, self-conscious ......"
ββββββββββββ
Edelweiss is a contradictory name, the cultists love and hate it, in the old days, there was a paladin in the Edelweiss family who became the leader of a sect, no one knew his name, everyone called him "Snow Master".
He fought against the Orc invasion in the north, and once won a crucial battle by annihilating more than 10,000 Orc infantry with 3,000 heavy cavalry. But then, the village where they were stationed was surrounded by orcs.
None of the Orc soldiers were no match for the Snow Master, but tens of thousands of troops who occupied important places surrounded the village, and they had no way out.
The Snow Sect Master insisted on waiting for reinforcements, and it would be useless to break through. However, a cardinal archbishop who was an enemy of him secretly hindered the support of the main force, and as a result, they did not wait for reinforcements until a month later.
One by one, the soldiers fell in the snow, and with the fierce battles again and again, only about 30 unkempt and bloodied remnants of the original 3,000 iron cavalry remained, all wounded.
The Sect Master hadn't eaten for days, and in the nearby wilderness, there were no even bark and grass roots. The last time we ate was three days ago, when the village chief cooked the last few deerskin boots.
At this time, the leader had a dream, and in the dream, the gods gave a pancake. Just as the sect leader was drooling on the bed, the panicked cries of the villagers were heard in the distance. When I inquired, it turned out that a pregnant woman was about to give birth.
After tossing for a long time, the baby was finally born, but unfortunately it was a dead baby.
"Sect Master, the meat is ready, please use it quickly!" The subordinates, who were also dizzy with hunger, handed the broth to the Snow Sect Master.
The Snow Sect Master pushed away the warm clay bowl: "I can't eat it! Everyone! If we even eat the meat of our own kind, what is the difference between us and the group of beasts outside?"
"Sect Master! This is clearly a divine grace from the God of Light! If you don't eat it, how will you resist tomorrow's attack?"
The leader of the sect held the pottery bowl, and the liquid flowed horizontally under the tongue. He drove the soldiers out, closed the door, and stared at the fragrant broth.
The next day, the Sect Master rode on the Bright War Horse in good spirits, brandishing his magnificent two-handed sword and charging towards the orc troops who came from the side.
In the end, only the Snow Sect Master broke through, and his deeds in the village spread throughout the Human Empire with the last carrier pigeon before the fall of the village.
The Holy See was divided into two factions, one demanding that this blasphemous heresy be burned at the stake, and the other insisting that the Snow Master was the true paladin.
In the end, this matter will not be resolved, and we can't start a civil war in the Holy See just because of a dead baby, right? The Holy See of Light, which is already fighting on multiple fronts, no longer has the extra military strength to draw out to carry out a luxurious civil war.
After his return, the Snow Master changed as a different person, taking off his armor and concentrating on the study of theology, becoming a priest. However, what I haven't figured out so far is that when I followed the Snow Sect Master to break through, I was chased by the beast clan for three whole days, and with just a bowl of broth, I definitely couldn't withstand this kind of consumption. (To be continued......)
