061 The Prototype of the Legend of the Holy Maiden
After Xiaobai finished eating, Wang and his team appeared on the second floor of the three wild boars tavern.
Probably because the entrance to the sewers was well hidden, the Three Boar Tavern was not attacked from underground.
When the group appeared, they heard a noise and music coming from downstairs, and it was clear that business in the tavern was very hot today.
Elizabeth whispered, "Most of the taverns are in the downtown area, almost all burned down, and this is one of the few taverns that have survived. ”
Wang: "But isn't this the critical time to prepare for the defense of the city?" How can so many people still drink in broad daylight? ”
Elizabeth didn't speak, but pulled the king out of the room, and stood at the top of the stairs on the second floor, looking down.
Below were all old men and children, the bard playing in the crowd and Bob behind the bar were the only two adult males.
Elizabeth: "Even the women in the prime of life have been mobilized to do manual work, and now the only people who can pass the time in the tavern are the old men and children." By the way, the rest of the taverns were food distribution points, so that the middle-aged laborers could work in peace on the city walls. ”
Wang: "I see. Hey, that bard! ”
Elizabeth was taken aback by him: "Why are you ......"
At this time, all eyes were focused on the second floor, including the gaze of the bard whom the king had just shouted.
An uncle stood up tremblingly: "It's Her Royal Highness the Princess!" My family, all of them were saved by His Royal Highness! When the war is over, I will definitely find a craftsman to make a statue of His Highness and put it at home for generations to worship! ”
Another grandmother chimed in: "Yes! My little granddaughter is protected by His Highness! I have already decided that I will send her to the castle no matter what, and be a lady-in-waiting for His Highness for the rest of her life! ”
"Your Highness! We are always with you! ”
"You are the Holy Maiden of Langdon!"
"Yes, it's a saint! I saw with my own eyes that when those demons were rampant yesterday, His Highness was holding a long sword in his hand, and behind it were wings of light! ”
Elizabeth was dumbfounded, and muttered, "But I'm a warlock." I didn't learn swordsmanship either, I learned crossbows and bows. ”
At this time, because of his height, Flint's vision was blocked by the railing and he couldn't see the scene below, but he still said: "It's a normal thing to add oil and vinegar to the transmission process. ”
Mishasara blinked her eyes and smiled, "It seems that the story of a saint has begun to take shape. ”
Wang nodded: "Yes, it is also an excellent experience to experience the formation of a legend. ”
Amid the praises of the people below, the bard began to play his rude, singing: "Shameless demons have poured out of the earth, and the white saint has raised her sword......"
The dwarf muttered, "I don't know poetry, but this rhyme is too bad, isn't it?" ”
Wang: "I don't know poetry either, but rhyme is a technical job, and it's really bad. I don't think this bard can answer our question. His acting abilities are clearly subpar, not like a seasoned bard. ”
Elizabeth was about to answer the king's words when the bard spoke: "Your Highness, everyone says that the dragon that saved the city of Langdon is your own, is it true?" ”
The surrounding people exclaimed, "The dragon is actually owned by His Highness?" ”
"Yesterday, the dragon personally saved His Highness, and he knelt down in the square to His Highness! I saw it with my own eyes! ”
Wang frowned: "What? I don't have it......"
But no one listened to him. Someone among the people has already said, "Your Highness has always cared about animals, and not long ago she sent someone to ask me where the stray cats I often feed on the street have gone!" ”
"Yes, yes, I've been asked too! Such a merciful highness, it is not surprising that there is a dragon! ”
Elizabeth was embarrassed, and her hand holding the railing was so embarrassed that she quickly pulled the wood out of the railing.
The cat man teased, "What about the dragon you have." ”
Elizabeth was about to speak, when the king's voice overshadowed the noise of the audience: "I made it with dragon magic. ”
The noisy people below all stopped and looked at the king in amazement.
The bard confirmed on behalf of everyone: "You use ...... Magical? ”
Wang: "...... to be exact"
Elizabeth: "He was made by magic." ”
As she said this, the princess's foot stomped the mage where the railing was in the way. The mage kept his mouth shut and let everyone marvel at "It's magic".
The bard asked, "You must be able to cast spells with more than six rings, right?" After all, you can become a dragon! ”
The king immediately frowned, the dragon transformation was at least a seven-ring spell, and the bard asked this question to show that he didn't know. As a well-informed bard, this does not bode well.
Of course, it may also be that the magic of dragon transformation is too rare. But combined with this bard's just bad performance......
When the king hesitated, Elizabeth replied on his behalf: "Yes, he is a powerful archmage, and he is the descendant of that one. ”
She said the name of Wang's teacher.
The crowd downstairs was in an uproar, and some even began to pray to the king.
The bard's reaction was the most exaggerated, his eyes widened and his mouth wide open: "Is it actually the descendant of that one?" Is he still alive? ”
Wang: "Of course, and it's very healthy, and when you get to the new plane, you must go to the land of wine and wine to have a good time." ”
This sparked another round of discussion.
The bard wanted to ask something, and Elizabeth pointed to his nose: "Come up, we have some questions for you." ”
**
After a few minutes, the bard looked at the wooden picture frame and shook his head: "No, I don't recognize this architectural style. ”
Wang: "You've walked a lot of places and haven't seen them at all?" ”
"I've really traveled a lot, I've been travelling since I graduated from the Bard Academy in Monrovia, I've been travelling almost all of Monrovia before I got here, and I've been through most of the Electors' ...... in Kosania."
Wang shook his head: "You can go, we don't want a novice like you." ”
After saying that, he snatched the picture frame and took it back into the dimensional bag. The bard looked at the dimensional bag and swallowed, "I said, you should need a bard, right?" I've mastered several tunes that can help me in battle, and I can ......"
Wang: "No, you can't. The stakes are high in the crisis we have to deal with, and you are so inexperienced. And you're a human being. ”
The bard looked puzzled: "I can accept the former reason, I have only traveled for more than a year, and the places I have traveled are all human territory, and I have not seen a dwarven walled city......"
Flint: "Then you've lost half of your life. ”
Bard: "I'm arguing!" I haven't seen the elves' gorgeous tree city either......"
Marika: "There's nothing to see about this. ”
Bard: "I'm arguing!" I've never seen the halfling farm in the Shire, but I'm a bard, and I've learned hundreds of legends at the academy in Monrovia, and I'm confident that one day I'll be a part of it. Now this opportunity is in front of me, and I can't let it go! ”
Wang: "But we don't need a junior brother who has just graduated from the academy. ”
The bard grabbed the king's hand: "No, no, no! I am willing to use everything I have to get this opportunity! If my brothers and sisters and my teachers knew that I had been given the opportunity to walk with that legendary disciple, they would be so envious that their eyes would fall out! ”
Wang: "I have no intention of helping you murder your brother and teacher. ”
Elizabeth laughed out loud.
Bard: "No, no, no, no! Let me stay! Even if you become one of your lambs, you can whip them every day! ”
The king instantly showed a frightened expression, shook his hand away, and shouted, "Gotrek, please get him out!" ”
Elizabeth: "Hahahahaha! ”
Gotrek grabbed the bard by the back of the neck and threw him out the door.
Wang: "I said to send him out." ”
The barbarian closed the door and turned around: "High? ”
The mage waved his hand: "It's okay." ”
Marika: "If the bard had not had the knowledge he had accumulated through his travels, he would have been of little use to seduce the hostesses of the tavern every time he came to a new tavern." At least in bed, he could find out a lot of information. ”
Flint: "I've met a bard who wasn't too obsessed with it, who was half-elf and ended his journey because he found true love. Now what? Looking for a bard again? ”
Marika shook her head, "No, we'll wait here, and soon all the rumors of bards will be rushing here." Who wouldn't want to join a squad that has just made a splash in the Battle for the City? In particular, this squad is clearly in the posture of embarking on a legendary adventure. ”
Elizabeth nodded, then pulled over a chair and sat down: "Then I'll sit down and review them, after all, I'm the funder of this team." ”
**
"I know the style!" The unassuming bard shouted.
Elizabeth smiled, "No, you don't know. I'm not very smart, but I'm very sensitive to lies. Gotrek, send him away. ”
He snatched the frame and handed it to the king, and walked away with the back of the bard's neck.
Marika: "This bard is a fake, and his fingers don't have the calluses of years of playing the rude. ”
"I bet he's more familiar with the sword than the piano." The dwarf said.
Elizabeth: "How many are these?" ”
Wang stood next to her and touched his chin with one hand: "The seventh." I have a hunch that we won't find the right bard in this city. I think I'd better wait until I get the resurrection scroll, and then torture that Irwin. ”
Elizabeth: "You have the final say. ”
Xiaobai was lying on the table and was about to sleep, but when he heard this, he straightened up: "Are you going back to the castle for dinner?" ”

Explain why you're looking for bards here. In fact, everyone who has run through the group knows that the average player can't find a clue, and then there is a bard in the team, and the DM will say: The poet has an anecdotal knowledge.
This is an exclusive decision of the bard, and one of the best things about this judgment is that DM decides what information to give, and players can generally pass the most basic anecdotal knowledge assessment, at which point DM can stuff key information into the player's mouth. Everyone also knows that DM is releasing the sea, and they will tacitly pretend not to know.
