Standing at the door of the living room of the Earl's castle was a girl with a round face. Her long hair was tied into some golden braids, and she had a pair of big blue eyes. Her thick eyelashes blinked as she spoke slowly.
Blink, she seems to be a player from central or northern Europe. The girl gives people a very honest and simple girl-next-door feel. Her round face is like a ripe apple, and she speaks slowly.
Try hard to pronounce every word correctly.
When Xiao Fen walked down the stairs, he saw the girl carrying a huge sword on her back - the sword was three palms wide, five feet long, and about two fingers thick at the spine. The sword was hung diagonally behind her back, with a guard on her shoulder.
It was a giant sword with the tip of the sword hanging all the way to the ground. He narrowed his eyes and immediately guessed that this girl must have mastered the 'monkey's paw' skill in using weapons in extraordinary ways.
"Hello, my name is Yugudola." She raised her head and curiously saw the black-robed mage coming down the stairs, and said seriously: "I'm here to see the mage Palin. Does any of you know him? Someone told me.
He's here."
When the goblin saw Xiao Fen, his expression changed and he immediately walked away.
Xiao Fen flicked his fingers and used a human immobilization technique to keep this guy there. He used his knees to think about what good things the other person had done. But it was not the time to deal with it at the moment. The mage glanced at Yugudola and replied calmly:
"I am."
There was an expression of 'Sure enough' on Yugudola's face. She stared at the mage curiously, looking left and right, not shying away at all - there was a legend about this mage, and the girl seemed to be looking out from the black robe.
A clue could be seen between the folds. But it didn't matter to Yugudola, but Xiao Fen was a little embarrassed. He coughed and said:
"Miss Yugudola, I have read Ms. Roman's letter. I will trouble you to travel with us in the next period of time." He walked down the stairs, took out the letter from his arms and handed it over: "You have to first
Do you want to see the goods?"
Yugudola stuffed the letter into her trouser pocket without looking at it. She chuckled, showed a carefree smile, and said: "No need, she told me to come, and I came, that's all.
So, can I travel with the legendary mage?" She asked straightforwardly, without concealing her curiosity.
Xiao Fen looked at the other person.
The girl is wearing a tight-fitting shirt with a variety of leather belts on it, hanging some potions, small pockets and the like - adventurers usually do this, putting items that may be used where they can be easily accessed - below
They were a pair of tailored explorer trousers and sturdy moccasin boots. Other than that, there was no other protection.
There are almost no warrior professions in Canaan that do not wear armor. Those who venture out empty-handed are mostly monk-type professions. However, monk-type professions usually do not use weapons, except for swordsmen.
Swordsmen in Canaan are divided into two categories, kendo monks and swordsmen. The former mostly hold a sword with one hand, are equipped for both offense and defense, and have excellent skills - for example, another elf female swordsman in the Seven Seas Merchant Group (Roman Team) is
This profession is the good old lady named Lindis. The other one is obviously the one in front of me, who uses giant swords in both hands to attack instead of defend.
He nodded and accepted the other party's application to join the team.
There is a temporary contract in Canaan. As long as it is approved by three parties, it allows a team to rent out its members or temporarily merge them into another team. During the duration, the member and the team enjoy the opportunity to join another team.
All benefits. The contract has the highest authority, is directly authorized by 'Mother', and cannot be eliminated by any spell, supernatural ability, special ability or divine power.
This kind of thing happens often, because whether in combat, assignment or adventure, there may be situations where teams and teams, players and teams negotiate, and torrentialrain has obviously taken this into consideration early.
"You are so cold, mysterious Chinese people. You are humble and polite on the surface, but you are superior to others in your heart. You are really similar to the descendants of those Anglo-Saxons. To be honest, I quite hate this kind of character." Yugudo.
After receiving his notice of joining the team, La sighed carelessly. After the world changed, the language habits of the younger generation also changed. The older generation still distinguishes between countries, but this generation has gradually become accustomed to using
Regions are used to replace countries, but in fact, in the eyes of Westerners, China is almost the same as East Asia, and they themselves cannot tell the difference.
This sentence actually made Xiao Fen smile.
Miss Swordsman's frankness and lack of pretense make people like her. Different from the simplicity of the little girl, she seems to have no intention of pretending to be herself, but directly expresses what is in her heart. Of course, there may be something between East and West.
Cultural differences are included.
"Can I meet my teammates?" Yugudora asked again.
The mage nodded and pointed at the paralyzed goblin next to him: "This is one. You can call him the Frog Prince. He is good at illusions." He introduced with reservation.
Yugudola stretched out her hand and waved it in front of the goblin. "What happened to him?" she asked curiously: "A goblin is a teammate? How interesting."
The goblin showed an angry expression in his eyes, but he couldn't speak.
Xiao Fen didn't answer, and cast a detection spell in front of Yugudola. The mage waved his long fingers lightly - several places on the goblin's body immediately emitted light. An arc appeared on his lips.
Thread, couldn't help but shake his head, while lifting the immobilization spell on this guy, and asked: "Do you want me to help you take it out?"
The Frog Prince quickly shook his head.
However, Yugudola's eyes lit up when she saw Xiao Fen's spell.
"What did he do?" she asked.
The goblin grimaced and took out a few gems from his pocket, which he had 'taken' from the earl's treasury. Although the mage repeatedly ordered Weiss's treasury not to touch even a penny of the money, the goblin, Ms. Two-Headed Dragon
And that damn dwarf never seemed to want to listen. They would often sneak over and steal the sheep when no one was around. In desperation, Xiao Fen had no choice but to give these coins and jewelry with a mage's mark on each to prevent these bandits from being unscrupulous.
.
Today is the third day of doing this, and it seems to be very effective from the previous records.
"Also." Xiao Fen stared at the goblin's jacket pocket.
"No more!" the goblin screamed, covering his pockets.
"Let me see, it's a star-shaped sapphire." The mage ignored him and answered directly.
The Frog Prince's face suddenly fell. As he took out the gems, he couldn't help but said angrily: "These are magic materials. Star sapphires can be used for constant attribute enhancement spells. Think about it, Captain - the Constant Eagle
Brilliance? Isn’t that what we are lacking? Oh my God, pedantry is not your personality, Captain." Ever since he learned that he was a member of the famous "Shining Gold Coin", this guy naturally learned to call Xiao Fen "
Captain'.
Of course Xiao Fen was a little moved, but he had promised the little girl, and the words he spoke were like water being thrown away. The mage always believed that he was by no means a kind person, but at least he kept his words.
So he shook his head: "There will be milk, but you still can't trust us?"
The goblin shrugged.
When Eugudola saw the gems, she looked interested. She moved her nose, as if smelling something. But the girl immediately asked: "Excuse me for disturbing your conversation. My teammates should
Isn’t it the only one?”
"Of course." Xiao Fen replied: "But we plan to leave here, and my team members should prepare separately. Miss Yugudola will naturally see them later." Indeed, today is almost the day of departure, Yun Na, Xue
He and Cole were preparing everyone's luggage, dry food, and wrought iron outside, and they should be taking the wild stones to make the final handover with the Shield of Truth. Recently, Griffith has also integrated into the team, becoming a partner with the little girl and Shuiyun.
He made good friends, but the witch girl is still a little lonely now. However, the latter itself does not belong to the Shining Gold Coin. Xiao Fen mainly brings the girl with him for two purposes-one is to let her visit his family, and the other is to
To restore her lost hand.
After June, summer will begin. Travel in Canaan is like reality in many cases. You must be well prepared and not bring too much baggage. The hot and rainy climate is a huge challenge for travel. Shining Gold Coins
Had to prepare early.
The female swordsman nodded thoughtfully.
"Just in time, I have something to go out for. Miss Yugudola, do you want to go and see it together?" The black-robed mage ordered the invisible servant to put the gem back. Then he thought about what he had not done before thinking about it.
There were some things that he had to explain to Uncle Hong and his party. However, it was obviously not polite to leave the guests here, so he turned around and asked; this was the question, but there were stiff lines on the mage's pale face.
Yugudola didn't seem to care. She smiled and nodded: "Okay."
The two walked out of the forest in the front courtyard of the castle. Yugudola looked left and right but said nothing. Xiao Fen was also happy. He opened the Book of Doom and read the newly added content while walking. The female swordsman read
She glanced at the spell book with a silver leaf that suddenly appeared in the mage's hand - she took it for granted that it was a spell book, and she was a little surprised by the misunderstanding that Xiao Fen would prepare spells while walking.
The goblin was reluctant to leave, but Xiao Fen obviously wouldn't let him stay alone to enrich his own pockets, so he could only follow him dejectedly.
After leaving the castle, you can see the inner city of Thorn Castle from a long tree-lined path. The red roofs go down layer by layer according to the mountain. Although they are not neat, they appear to be well-proportioned.
The streets pass between these red areas one after another, more like a zigzag network winding up the mountain.
The inner city is an area where only free people with status can live. Among these people are craftsmen, merchants and monks. And outside is a vast town, with earth-gray roofs extending to a wall in the distance. One side faces the
Valley, one side facing the forest at the mouth of the valley.
Looking down from above, it does seem like a broad-minded artistic conception——
However, what Xiao Fen saw was an area that was being rebuilt. In the past week, Thornburg had come out of the tense atmosphere. The Hand of Despair seemed to be dead and had not moved. The army from the north was also moving closer to the Thornburg area.
, so the ordinary people in this town became paralyzed, thinking that the war was over. But the truly smart people knew that this was just the calm before the storm.
The hand of despair will never put a thorn in the throat, which is inconsistent with their grasp of the entire situation, but these black knights are accumulating strength, waiting for a blow to win.
Miss Swordsman stood next to the mage and saw this scene. Her eyes seemed to be so bright all the time, but she took a deep breath at this moment.
"I like it here." she said.
Xiao Fen nodded and did not answer.
"What's so good about it? The town is like a maze. Only the cunning locals know the way. You will soon know that these guys are selfish and greedy." The goblins always seem to be complaining: "Even asking for directions requires money.
,Pooh--"
However, the mage was used to this kind of complaint. As he went to the stables to look for Count Weiss's carriage, he saw a man near the castle gate arguing with a guard. The guard was a member of the Shield of Truth, originally Sir Manos.
Some of the guards also stayed. The little girl had a long talk with Xue and him before convincing the paladin to stay and guard his hometown - as for the remaining people, most of them were locals, just a picture.
Just to eat.
As long as you give them money, it's meaningless to talk about ideals and beliefs with them. But Xiao Fen thinks there's nothing wrong with it, which is often the case for him.
However, the dispute over there obviously attracted the attention of the black-robed mage. He walked over with the goblin and the swordsman and asked: "What's going on?"
The NPC guard obviously knew Xiao Fen. He immediately let go of the man's hand and replied: "Master Mage, this man said he wanted to see you, but he didn't want to reveal his identity." He glanced at the other person suspiciously.
: "And I saw the mark on his cloak. He seems to be a member of the Hand of Despair."
Xiao Fen also has a rare experience of having NPCs call him 'sir', especially the residents under the rule of Longcheng. They usually only recognize noble lords and truly powerful people. But now he finally meets at least one of them, maybe
Or two. Because the Shield of Truth seems to be planning to give him the title of Third Class Knight.
However, when he was called so, he was still a little proud in his heart, but of course it didn't show on his face - you know, our protagonist has always been like this.
"Who are you?" Xiao Fen recognized this player at a glance. In fact, he had already seen the silver thorn pattern on the opponent's collar. This was indeed a hand of despair, and it was also a knight of thorns, but in the eyes of the opponent
There is no malicious intent, otherwise I wouldn’t be so upright and strutting around in Black Knight costumes.
"It doesn't matter who I am," the player was obviously a little annoyed: "But I know you, Master Palin. I brought a letter, you may want to read it, and besides - I was...
Your people brought me here, not some spies. According to your words, I am a messenger."
Eugedara looked at this man with interest, while the goblin looked contemptuous.
Xiao Fen generally didn't bother to pay attention to such a self-righteous guy, and just asked indifferently: "Where is the letter?"
The guy was obviously bothered, and then he took out the letter with an indignant expression.
The mage opened it with his skinny fingers. There was only a simple sentence on it: "I only want to fight." Look at the signature: Magic Melody. Xiao Fen thought about it for a long time before he remembered this name. It was in the dragon one year ago.
It's time to conquer the city, he couldn't help but dumbfounded, how could this guy get into the hands of despair, and his ghost still lingers like this.
Xiao Fen glanced at the guy who delivered the letter and felt depressed. He simply conjured a pen out of thin air and only replied: "I don't have time."

This is being pretentious again, so let’s just ask for a monthly ticket.)
