The Remnant City - An Ideal Across the Sky Chapter 19: Turning the Plane
Noel knelt like this for a long time before he came back to his senses. His mouth opened and closed, but finally he couldn't say any words of comfort: "We, let's pack up and prepare to evacuate."
Tang Na crawled out from the rubble and released the magic. He also bore the corrosion caused by the dragon's blood that Noel had suffered before. He tremblingly took out a bottle of healing potion and drank it to restore his injuries.
Elle knelt on the ground helplessly.
"Don't think too much. Each of us was prepared to die before we came here, and dying in such a great battle is also the fate of a soldier." Anzebre comforted Elle while bandaging himself with one hand.
Wound.
"Thanks to Noel's final explosion, otherwise we would all die." Tang Na staggered and began to use space equipment to collect the fallen weapons. The gold water had already condensed on the ground. If he brought it back in the future, it would be a huge sum.
Wealth.
The dwarves who were a little more awake first went to help clean up Graysha's body, and then mechanically collected countless dragon blood and dragon scales, and then peeled off the dragon tendons. Occasionally, they used inappropriate force on their hands, which was limited by their skills.
It can only be divided into six sections.
When cleaning the battlefield, they also picked up a piece of Graysha's armor and carried it with them as a warning.
After cleaning up the battlefield, the skeletons on the way back all fell down as Aier absorbed the power of their souls.
Others only took a little of the dragon materials obtained from this battle. After all, the only way to defeat the dragon was because Noel was strong enough.
As for the ancient weapons and equipment, except for the valuable long sword used by the dragon, the rest were sold to the Explorers Association on consignment because they were not suitable for a few people.
Except for Gracia, who had a larger share, the others only took smaller portions.
Gresha's relics were buried with his body in Wager Harbor, and his estate was transferred by the Explorers' Association in accordance with his will.
After identification, it was found that the ordinary-looking dark green metal sword was actually a magical weapon made of dragon materials. It was a gift from a friendly gem dragon to the hero at that time.
By handing in materials in exchange for contributions, you can entrust the association to build equipment. The equipment made with red dragon scales has good fire resistance, and the blood of the red dragon can be directly exchanged for dragon power potions. Of course, the ratio will definitely be a disadvantage.
Noel already has black dragon armor, so he probably doesn't need that many, but dragon blood is urgently needed in the mercenary group.
Dragon scales can't be used as personal equipment, they're terrible. If you make two pieces, you can still have three or five pieces left, depending on your body shape.
In the end, he left two pieces of human-sized heavy armor, and exchanged the rest for his contribution.
This is quite a large contribution, which can be exchanged for two bottles of Dragon Power Potion. However, for various reasons, Noel did not want to exchange it for Dragon Power Potion.
The commission and the settlement of the melted gold water gave Noel a huge sum of three thousand three hundred and fifty Lindsay, a small part of which was provided by the ancient equipment sold, and Tangner and the others almost didn't ask for it.
The association in Wager Harbor has no warehouse or anything. You have to go to the Explorers Association in other cities to check it out.
Anzebre planned to stay in Wagport to assist Donner in the subsequent development of the ancient ruins. Elle became even more silent, and she had to return to the church. Now Noel was alone again.
Donner's injuries were not completely healed by magic, and there was no reliable doctor in Wag Harbor. By the way, the explorer directly under his command was still ill.
So Donner and his new assistants got busy, but Noel had nothing to do. Although Wagerport was not prosperous or wealthy, the town was growing. Because the red dragon's destructive spells removed a large number of
The fire element, the volcano also stabilized.
After spending several days at Grasha's tomb and visiting Lord Donner, Noel entrusted the explorer to his care.
After saying goodbye, the dwarf decided to leave this vibrant town that was shrouded in a cloud of death for Noel.
From here, head northeast to find larger cities.
Noel, who had decided to leave long ago, made some preparations, bought some dry food and other sundries, and headed northeast. Since there was no storage equipment, Noel could only buy less.
With a bag of dry food and two water bottles filled, the dwarves used the sky as their bed and the earth as their bed along the way. Unfortunately, there was no core of origin in the heads of those game animals.
The morning of April 12, the eighth year of the Principality's Annals
Noel crossed one-fifth of the principality's territory, made many commissions that were not in line with his strength along the way, and took the guidance potion made with dragon crystal as the lead. The dragon slayer Noel just had little time to accumulate and become a legend.
However, he was not lucky. The associations in the cities he entered along the way did not have good equipment. This may be because the equipment of the group was too good.
Finally, today we arrived at a large city called Nurri. The city is entirely built on a mountain near a river in the grassland. The animal husbandry and wine industries are very developed, and the vine fruits are also juicy and sweet.
However, due to the larger scope of activities of citizens, explorers also have more business, and those with more business mainly deal with conflicts between foreign sailors and local merchants.
With rivers as transportation carriers, frequent commercial activities have also touched the bottom line of the principality's laws. Black markets and irregular auctions have emerged one after another. Every time they are attacked by law enforcement by the guards, they only restrain themselves for a while, treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
How much of it is the connivance and strategy of the merchant association, and how much of it is disputes between nobles has nothing to do with Noel.
At least it can clear out my full pockets. Fortunately, it is mainly gems. If Lindsay were there, she wouldn't be able to carry it at all.
After finally arriving in the big city, Noel went straight to the Explorers Association.
Before Noel could ask for directions to the entrance of the association, a small bridge that had to be passed was blocked by two groups of people holding weapons. A middle-aged businessman and several sailors were at this end of the bridge, and another young businessman led
There are a few explorers on the other side of the bridge.
Although he saw that there seemed to be a conflict ahead, Noel did not want to stop heading to the association. He walked towards the small bridge ahead.
"There shouldn't be any traffic restrictions here, right? I'm in a hurry, please let me go." The dwarf came to stand behind them and reminded them.
The sailor who was at loggerheads with the explorer was still very nervous and might start fighting in the next second. The businessman waved his hand impatiently. "Look for another way, are you so mean?"
The water channel leading from the river is only five meters wide. The bridge is two meters wide. Four people in a row blocked it tightly, and these people were holding weapons.
The long journey made Noel feel irritable. After finally arriving in a big city, he was still blocked by people. The more Noel thought about it, the more angry he became. "What are you doing blocking this place? There is no sign saying that this is your family's land."
I've warned you in a good voice. Don't show me any disrespect."
Noel quickly pulled out his long sword and roared: "Make way!"
The dragon-like coercion made the businessman scream and sit on the ground, his eyes dull, and then he peed and excreted.
When a sailor saw his boss in this state, he roared and slashed at Noel. Seeing this, the explorers on the opposite side spontaneously came over to stop this barbaric behavior - they turned their weapons around and fought with the unopened parts.
Noel stood and let the sailor chop him, feeling very confident in his dragon-scaled skin. The sword would only break when he struck it, and the scene suddenly became chaotic, and there were no guards nearby.
Soon the explorer brought these sailors to justice. "Bah, a bunch of savages."
Noel sheathed his sword, clapped his hands and prepared to leave.
The businessman from the opposite side came over. "You are so brave. What is your name?"
Noel took a closer look and saw that the businessman had yellow skin, just covered with a layer of white powder, and spoke a strange common language. This was even stranger than seeing an elf.
"Brave?" Noel turned around and glanced at the group of sailors and shabby businessmen. "It would be too wasteful to use this word here. I am Noel, and I am rarely in a irritable mood today, so I made it a joke for you. But that's it.
Come back, is this the kind of security that this city has? Well, seeing as you are not a local, I will go to the association to inquire about it later. Is there anything else you can do?"
At this time, guards came over, seemingly preparing to send these dirty guys to the church, and the explorers also had to go and take statements.
"This man is a military strategist of an armed merchant ship. He does business whenever there is business. He regards plundering other merchant ships as a second business. He has become a close friend of me. If it weren't for Mr. Noel today, I'm afraid he would have suffered a hidden loss. If your Excellency...
After finishing the work at hand, why not come to the restaurant where I am staying tonight to have a few drinks together to express my gratitude." Despite the flattery, the words of some businessmen sounded quite enthusiastic.
"Check-in" is a word that Noel has never heard of, but he can barely understand that it means "check-in". "Oh, there is wine? That's easy to say. I don't know where you will check-in? I will go to the association to do some small things in the evening.
on time."
The yellow-skinned businessman left an address and stopped disturbing him. He will probably have to deal with a lot of trouble in the future.
Noel continued to go to the association, and his mood improved a lot when he knew that he would have wine to drink in the evening. He strode across the small bridge, walked down a few wrong alleys, and finally arrived at the Explorers Association.
There was not a lot of people around lunch time. Although half of the staff had gone to eat, there were only one or two explorers in front so they didn't have to wait long.
The decoration of this association branch is quite strange. It is full of various fish bones and animal skins, as well as human-like bones, with more than a dozen bronze-green scales nailed next to them.
Maybe it’s because a lot of seafood is transported here, and there’s also a faint fishy smell inside the Explorers Association.
Noel stood behind the team and waited, and soon it was his turn. The commissions he had made on the road had accumulated enough contribution points to exchange for a bottle of dragon power. Anyway, Noel had enough Lindsay on hand, so it would be more appropriate to exchange them for contribution points.
