Chapter 39: Prelude
Originally, I wanted to solve the monster invasion incident in advance, so as to connect with the upper echelons of the empire through this incident, but now it ended up like this.
The plan failed, but instead formed a grudge with the two major forces in the imperial capital, and offended the military and the church at the same time, and the result of this operation can only be said to be bloodless.
The so-called plot can only be used as a reference in this real world, and if you blindly follow it, what awaits you in front may be a bottomless pit, and this lesson makes her unforgettable.
The girl leaning against the wall on the side also noticed the emotion on the eldest sister's face, so she pretended to smile lightly.
"Big sister, it's okay, it's okay if we're all right, and it's not like nothing."
Xiaoxue pointed to the two green boxes scattered in the alley.
"Isn't this harvesting two treasure chests, the Divine Heaven can't stay, let's go somewhere else."
As she spoke, she seemed to remember something, and looked up at the half-collapsed roof beside her.
"Gunfire, no burp, no squeak."
After a while, a weak male voice came from above.
"Ahem, I can't die for the time being, but my green sniper rifle."
"It's not dead, hurry down and withdraw"
The battle between the contractors on this side is over, and the battlefield invaded by monsters on the other side has come to an end.
In less than ten minutes after the arrival of the Knights of the Guards, the monsters were strangled, and now there was only some finishing touches left.
Except for the knights of the Knights of the Guard, the rest of them were idle.
Bethcord and Geraint, two friends who hadn't seen each other in years, began to catch up, and Aljeta was bored with her brother's side.
Xu Yue stood in the center of the battlefield, a large piece of fire ignited on the monster's corpse, and then circled and flew around Xu Yue, being slowly absorbed by him, although this absorption method took a little longer, but fortunately, it was gentle, and the mental pressure load was relatively small.
It's a pity that these fires are basically fueled by small monsters, and the quality is so low that even the fire pattern steel can't be melted.
It's useless to use it to strengthen itself, but it's excellent for mass manufacturing low-level equipment.
Lambert and the elf girl looked at the wonderful scene of the purple fire churning in front of Xu Yue not far away, and I have to say that in terms of appearance alone, the fire is excellent, and the appearance of the flame does not have a scorching heat wave, which can be seen from a distance or played up close.
When he felt that his temples began to swell and ache, Xu Yue stopped absorbing the fire, and waved his hand to disperse the fire that was wrapped around him, and the flames in the sky turned into countless purple streamers and scattered, dyeing half of the sky of the construction site purple.
Everyone was attracted by the movement in the sky, and Lambert looked at the heavenly scene with his mouth open, and his eyes were full of three big words: I want to learn.
The elf girl looked up at the wisps of light falling in the air, and her emerald green eyes were also dyed a faint purple.
Aljeta raised his arm, his slender fingers brushing the tassel in front of him, and the tassel suddenly scattered into bits of fluorescent light.
"The afterglow of life."
Bethcord's gaze circled the sky, and then moved to the pile of monster char powder that had been burned out by the fire on the battlefield.
"This is the rumored purple fire that burned thousands of armor, interesting."
And after seeing Xu Yue finished, Geraint took a few steps forward and asked:
"Flame, we are now going to the palace to discuss with the king about the joint destruction of the demon dragon, do you want to join us?"
Xu Yue recalled the fat-headed and big-eared image of the human king in his mind, and his interest in going to the palace had diminished a lot, and the king couldn't jump for a few days.
His rights were almost hollowed out by Bethcord, and it didn't make much sense to go with him, so he decisively refused.
"I'm not going to join in the fun, just let me know when the results come out, I'm going to go to the quartermaster department to improve my strength as much as possible before crusading against the black dragon."
After listening, Geraint was not reluctant, nodded yes, and Beth Kede, who came with him, also heard Xu Yue's arrangement and spoke.
"You shouldn't know the location when you first arrived in the imperial capital, I'll send a knight to take you there."
"Thank you, Lord Bethcord."
Xu Yue thanked him, he really needed a guide.
After Bethcord and Gerantt and others left, before leaving, Lambert looked at Xu Yue's eyes with reluctance, he was very yearning for Xu Yue's devastating combat methods, plus he saw the fire today, and his heart was even more longing.
Xu Yue didn't pay much attention to this kid's gaze, he was now looking at the elf girl in the team in front of him thoughtfully, this girl was the elf princess's personal attendant, Liya.
At the same time, he is also the girlfriend of Lambert, the protagonist of Destiny.
"It's worthy of an elf, it's really delicate and moving, is Your Excellency Flame interested? I can ask you about her information below. ”
There was a slightly joking voice in his ear, it was the knight guide left by Beskode, and he couldn't help but ask when he saw Xu Yue staring at Liya in front of him for a long time.
Xu Yue retracted his gaze, he was not interested in Liya.
"I'm more interested in her secret art of manipulating arrows than people."
"Elven secret arts, that's a good thing, but it's more difficult to get this thing than the people who get them, and the secret art of the race has always been secret."
"Let's see, it's not too early, go to the quartermaster first, please lead the way."
"You're welcome, this way."
After a few words, the two of them also left the construction site one after the other and walked in the direction of the quartermaster's office.
The quartermaster was located in an area of the outer city, which was very large and heavily guarded, and was more than a little more heavily protected than the Black Mountain Fortress.
After bidding farewell to the knight who led the way, Xu Yue walked alone to the quartermaster's office, this time to exchange for a quest item, a quest he received from the dwarven blacksmith.

……
When Xu Yue went to the quartermaster office to exchange items, the discussion in the palace also ended perfectly.
In the face of Beskode's monster helmet, the human king immediately panicked.
He can not care whether the awakening of the black dragon is true or not, and he can not care about the danger of the monster's activity to the people of the mainland, but he can't care less about his own safety.
Now that the black dragon monster has hit the outer city of the imperial capital, will it directly attack his palace next?
So he compromised and agreed to form an alliance to attack Montenegro with all his strength, destroy the monsters and the black dragon that was about to awaken, and the only condition was that this alliance must go out in his name, in the name of the human king Cassius III.
After receiving a satisfactory answer, the meeting ended quickly, and the elven princess Nervin and the mage Karatyu from the Lotus Swamp returned, and they needed to gather the elves and mages to gather in the Sacred Paradise.
And Beskode also returned to the palace to deal with affairs, this time the dragon slaying campaign, the knight legion of the human empire will be the absolute main force on the frontal battlefield, as the commander of the knights of the whole country, these need to be unified by him.
While Bethcord was working on papers in his study, Cook walked in through the door with an ugly look.
"Lord Bethcord, Matthew is dead."
