040 The Paladins arrive
Time turns a little faster, floating islands, ground.
Isabella looked at the king suspiciously: "Found the Eye Demon?" ”
Wang: "No, it's speculated that there is a large community of Eye Demons...... It's not accurate to say that the creature that the Beholder hates the most is the other Beholder, so the Beholder doesn't live in groups. A so-called Eyelord community refers to a large area of land controlled by a group of allied Eyedemons, each of whom has a territory ranging from tens to a hundred square kilometers. ”
Flint had clearly seen the Beholder, and he cursed, "Kaylin's horns! What kind of purgatory on earth is this? ”
Elizabeth looked at the dwarf with a frightened expression: "Is the Eye Demon so terrifying?" ”
Marika: "Don't scare our princess. I've killed this kind of thing. ”
Elizabeth immediately ignited hope: "You've also singled it out?" ”
Marika hesitated for a moment, but chose to tell the truth: "No, we went into a squad, and I was left alone in the end, so the credit goes to me." ”
Elizabeth immediately looked back at the king: "Do you really want me to kill that kind of thing alone?" ”
Wang scratched his head: "Actually, no." Although it's good to be able to improve combat effectiveness, it's nothing if you don't improve, you see we haven't been able to break through after a few months of adventure. ”
Elizabeth's expression became complicated, as if she threw the two thoughts of "reluctance" and "want to make a bigger difference" into a blender and stirred desperately.
Finally, Elizabeth decided, "Okay, I'll go in and single it out once I've found the Eye Demon's lair!" ”
Wang: "No, you can't go in alone. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Flint replied, "Because the Eye Demon breeds slaves just like the Mind Flayer, and every Eye Demon has a bunch of Eye Demon slaves in their lair, and we have to kill these people to make your way for you." ”
Wang added: "And we have to set up the ceremony site. Or will you set it up yourself? ”
Elizabeth bit her lip: "No." ”
Marika asked, "So where is this Eye Demon Colony?" ”
Wang: "In Yi Songzo downstream, where we're going." The Arcane Federation has a large number of anti-death enchantment headbands and anti-petrification rings in Yi Songzo's stronghold, indicating that Yi Songzo may be useful for these two items. I presume it's the Eye Demon. ”
Marika: "That's just speculation. It could also be a Mind Flayer! ”
Wang: "The Mind Flayer doesn't need to prepare something that will kill you, but you have to be very careful with its mind control. ”
Marika was still unconvinced: "If there really is such a large-scale Eye Demon Settlement, there will not be no information at all. After all, the Eye Demon is not a master of covering up his traces like the Mind Flayer. ”
Flint shook his head: "No, no, don't underestimate the Eye Demons, their psychic abilities are just as powerful." But it's strange to me that it's been a long time since I've heard of a large Eye Demon settlement. The last time I saw the Eye Demon was a wandering Eye Demon. ”
Elizabeth: "Wandering Eyer? ”
Wang: "The Eye Demon has a high mutation rate, and the Little Eye Demon has a high probability of becoming an ugly mutant species, and the Eye Demon is a ...... A perfectionist race.
"So when the Mother Eye finds out that her child is a 'defective product', she will pinch it to death. If the child is lucky enough to resist the mother's petrification rays and mind control and escape, it will become a wandering eyer.
"Most of the things you'll encounter when you're adventuring ruins are this kind of eye demon."
Elizabeth: "Can we find one of these Eye Demons to complete the necklace ritual?" Since there is such a large group of allied Eye Demons, there will always be one or two Wandering Eye Demons, right? ”
Wang: "I think it will." In addition, Beholders have another characteristic, they ...... They love beauty, and they don't have a bad taste. Although their appearance is ugly by human standards.
"The strange thing is that the Eye Demon also seems to think that the pretty girls in humans are beautiful, so he likes to petrify the beautiful girls of humans and store them in his lair."
Elizabeth gasped and subconsciously put her hands on her chest.
Seeing this, Rosalie hurriedly made a frightened look.
The king didn't notice Rosalie's little confrontation, and he continued to say to Elizabeth, "In order for you to successfully fight against the Beholder, we will continue to collect equipment for you. If you can find the Dwarven Beholder's Buster Shield, you can even reflect back the Beholder's own petrified rays or death rays, making it easy to get a single kill.
"Also, you can wear this robe when you explore or fight in the future."
Elizabeth: "Okay. But why, what is this robe? ”
Wang: "The Arcane Federation's standard robes are resistant to slashing and piercing damage, and while they're not as good as Nini's maid outfit made of a lich's robe, it's not bad. ”
Elizabeth looked at the robe, then at Nini, and said, "I want to change to a maid's costume too......"
Wang: "Well...... Anyway, it's not far from Monrovia now, so it's okay to let Xiaobai fly back and change it. ”
With that, he took out another robe from the dimensional bag: "Rosalie, do you want to change this one too?" ”
"Huh? Do I have that too? Rosalie was shocked, "Well, I don't want to change it, I think this protection range is relatively large, and I'm more afraid of death." Miss Nini is nimble and can dodge attacks, but I can't dodge them. ”
The king nodded, and was about to continue speaking, when Elizabeth said, "I won't change it, and I can't dodge!" ”
The king looked at her: "Whether you can change it or not, give me a letter." ”
Elizabeth glanced at Rosalie and shouted firmly, "Don't change!" ”
Wang: "Okay. ”
Rosalie smiled: "Knowing that I have added clothes to the girls I care about, our captain has finally grown in this area, mainly due to my credit~"
At this time, the king took out the third robe and said to Hashir's mother-in-law, who had been beside her, "This is for you, mother-in-law." ”
Hashir was shocked: "Give it to me? Give it to the ladies and you're done. ”
Wang: "No, it's not a gift, it's a distribution of equipment. Mother-in-law, if you have any accidents, you will be in big trouble. Now there's no one but you who can lead the Pelicans. And we need the Pelicans to keep order and work hard. ”
Hashir: "Oh, that's what it means. Scare me, I thought you had a crush on me, an old woman. Yes, it just so happened that my chain mail was broken in the last battle, and it was just in time to replace it. ”
This time, it was the king's turn to be surprised: "The chain mail is rotten?" Didn't tell me! ”
"Oh, it's a small problem, so I won't tell the city lord."
Wang: "Wait a minute, we've got a lot of chain mail and leather armor in Monrovia, and we're here to give you one!" ”
As he spoke, he took out a shiny piece of chain mail from his dimensional pouch and handed it to Granny Hashir.
The mother-in-law was so happy that her mouth bloomed: "Oh, this is a good thing." ”
Rosalie said: "Of course, what is taken out of my family's treasure house, can it be bad?" ”
The king took out a few more pieces of armor, then hesitated before withdrawing them.
Xiaobai asked strangely, "What are you doing?" ”
Wang: "I originally wanted to give the rest of the armor to the Pelican Gang, but after thinking about it, we should wait until we recruit the kind of warriors with strong combat power to give him the armor." ”
Flint: "You mean the warriors recruited into the squad?" Hey, don't worry, the armor on the warrior who often enters the dungeon must be some kind of magic armor, much better than ordinary armor. In this way, you take out the armor of non-magical equipment and hand it out to the Pelican Gang cadres, who are also the right-hand men of Granny Hashir after all. ”
Before the dwarf could finish speaking, the king took out a few other robes of the Arcane Federation.
Flint: "Kailin's belly button, how much did you take!" ”
Wang: "I said that I destroyed a team of the Austrian Federation." ”
As he spoke, he poured out a bunch of magic rings from the dimensional bag: "These are all captured magic rings, there are all kinds of spells of the first and second rings, and there are also some passive effects that are better than nothing, you pick them, and the rest will be sent to the self-police group." ”
Small sticky notes were attached to the rings, and what was the effect was written, which was the preparation that Wang had made in order to send to the self-police group.
Oscar's eyes straightened when he saw so many magic rings: "Do you really want to send it to our self-police corps?" ”
Wang: "Of course, and the self-police here, including the Pelican Gang. ”
Oscar immediately pouted: "The Pelican Gang people don't obey me, I teach them swordsmanship, they all say that they are embroidered with fists and feet, and they are not good at learning." ”
Wang: "Then challenge the one who jumps the most among them and use your training sword to severely injure him, and Flint will not die watching him anyway." ”
Oscar: "It's ...... Wouldn't that be too much? ”
Mrs. Hashir: "That's how they'll obey you." It's better than I commanded them, you know? My little princess! ”
At this time, Elizabeth had already picked the ring: "I'll choose this scorching ray......"
The king took the ring back from her hand.
Elizabeth exclaimed, "What? ”
Wang: "Don't choose the Scorching Ray!" You're already very good at raying, you have so many rays a day, and you have a necklace stuffed in your chest, it's enough. This scorching ray should be given to the self-police group, which can effectively strengthen their strength. ”
Elizabeth pouted, "Oh. ”
The king sighed and picked up another ring: "You can use this mirror shadow technique to enhance your ability to save your life." ”
Elizabeth: "Let's give it to the vigilantes, I can increase their power, I'm just an inconsequential ray emitter." ”
The king looked at Rosalie with a pleading gaze.
Rosalie laughed and said, "It's cute to make such an awkward fuss, isn't it?" ”
As soon as she finished speaking, Elizabeth took the mirror ring from the king's hand: "I want it!" ”
Wang: "I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you?" What's the situation? ”
Rosalie: "You really can't coax a girl, without a girl sticking upside down, you will definitely die alone." ”
Wang: "Then I'll make do with you." ”
Rosalie looked like she had suffered tons of damage.
Flint: "Kaylin's horns, that's what I like to watch. In a hilarious sense, our captain is a genius. ”
Rosalie: "Alright, alright, by the way, can I take one of this ring too, after all...... As the housekeeper of the floating island, I'm going to be in a lot of trouble if I die, right? I'll just take this mirror technique, I can save my life. I'm not here to fight someone. ”
Wang: "Yes. What about the others? Have you finished picking? ”
Nini: "I don't have anything I want to take. ”
Xiaobai: "Same as above. ”
Marika: "I have a few items on my body that have been with me since the days of adventure, and I really don't like these bad rings. ”
Liguang: "Monks don't need this kind of thing outside the body. ”
The king looked at the last team member: "Barbarian, what about you?" ”
Barbarian: "Giant Magic." ”
As he spoke, he showed off the ring he had already gotten.
Wang: "Good! The rest of the rings were handed over to the vigilantes. Granny Hashir, you and Rosalie have a meeting together, and reward these things in public to those who have fought before. ”
Hashir shook his head: "Don't mention it, it's okay to say when it first happened, now they've blown their performance in the last battle into a legendary adventure in the tavern, and now everyone thinks of themselves as the mainstay."
"You're rewarded for your deeds now, it's too late! This time, I will give the equipment to a few loyal backbones, and next time I will reward you for your meritorious deeds. ”
Oscar retorted loudly: "How can this be, this seems to be favoring one's own lineage." ”
Hashel: "You're right. But I promise that these cadres of mine are not misgiving, and when things are in their hands, they will play their due role. ”
Oscar was about to argue when Rosalie gently pressed her shoulders and turned her head to look at Wang.
Wang: "You can do this this time, but you have to add a clause to the regulations, these equipment are all owned by the Floating City, and they are only for personal use." If it is found that this equipment is being used for evil or to the detriment of the interests of the Floating City, it will be killed. ”
Although Oscar still frowned, he still nodded and said, "Okay, it's a little better this way." By the way, add one more, and in the future, this kind of standard equipment will be rewarded for meritorious deeds! ”
Wang gave a thumbs up: "No problem, just add this one." ”
Hashel sighed: "The Pelican Gang has lived in Repulse City since childhood, they have not experienced living in a society with a legal system, and now they still have a sense of awe for the new city lord, but there will definitely be many people who will try to cross the bottom line of the law in the future." ”
As she spoke, she looked at Rosalie, "Managing a thousand people is more complicated than you think, little girl." ”
Rosalie: "I'm not a little girl anymore. ”
As she said this, she glanced at the king.
Then she continued: "Don't worry, mother-in-law, I'll take care of everything." After all, that's what I learned in the court. ”
Hashir: "If the teachers of the court had been so omnipotent, the word "gentleman" would not have appeared. Let me see what you're capable of. ”
At this moment, the sound of a gong was heard from the direction of the watchtower.
Everyone looked together in the direction of the watchtower.
This is something that was only completed this morning, and the Pelican Gang craftsmen have built a watchtower out of a severed mast, which has been swaying from side to side in the wind high in the sky, but it just hasn't fallen.
The man on the watchtower shouted something, but the king could not hear it.
Nini's pointed ears turned completely in the direction of the watchtower, and she reported, "Due south, there are flying boats approaching. ”
She paused and added, "The airship has Lancelot's emblem on it." ”
Wang: "I guess it's Lancelot's Holy Warriors, who are supposed to be here to exterminate the lich......"
He suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem and looked at Marika, "Damn, the paladins of Lancelot will cut it when they see Drow!" ”
I was so sleepy this morning, I forgot to write the Resistance Petrification Ring in the previous chapter, and I just made it up.
