The arrogant and arrogant dragoons came to Braun Town less than an hour ago and left in disgrace. Town residents and adventurers all felt that they were proud of themselves today. Whenever they had some free time, they would go to the hotel to drink a glass of red shochu and talk to everyone.
Get together to brag and chat.
"The dragoon general took two steps forward. I almost peeed in fear... I thought he was going to kill people, but what happened? The leader of the Steel Rock Tribe came out, killed his dragon beasts, and called them bastards. He even farted.
I didn’t dare to let go, so I ran to the plantation with my tail between my legs. Haha, it’s so happy!”
"Hmph, even the tax collectors in the main city dare not come to our place to collect taxes. A group of dragoons came to Braun Town to show off their power? How did they get their brains?"
"Tax collection? What does this have to do with tax collection?"
"Think about it, we are not even afraid of the tax collector in the main city, but we are still afraid of his dragoons?"
"After hearing what you said, I figured it out... The Dragoons' capture of Wiltok was actually a cover. Their real purpose was to kill Boss Bottom and then tax us."
"The damn famous families are all greedy vampires!"
"May Mother Earth bury them all in the abyss."
The alliance city-states levy a poll tax on the residents under their rule. Ordinary half-elf families can still afford it, but the poor living at the bottom are overwhelmed. Most of the adventurers in the border strongholds are poor people with unruly temperaments. They have no respect for high-ranking noble families.
Half a good impression.
There were shouts and curses in the lobby of the hotel, and the dragon cavalry from the famous Golden Oak family was scolded bloody by the adventurers. Anyway, this place is far away from the main city, and even if the famous Golden Oak family wanted to take revenge, they would still have trouble with Boss Bottom.
Of course the adventurers won't have any scruples, as long as they scold them happily.
The room at the end of the corridor on the third floor of the hotel.
Boss Bottom was already very worried. He was holding a pipe in his mouth, sitting on a chair, waving his arms from time to time, and said to Dr. Cole opposite: "I had no choice at the time. That damn bastard Hurant accused Will in public."
, and he didn’t have any evidence. He openly admitted that he only suspected that Weir was related to the wolf girl, and said he wanted to arrest him. What can I do? So many people are looking at me with wide eyes. If I don’t say anything, everyone will
I thought that the Adventurer's House could not protect the interests of adventurers at all... Even if the famous Golden Oak family wanted Vertok, they should have discussed it with us privately, and the benefits should not be less. It was Hulant who messed up the matter.
He is destroying our foundation, and you can’t blame me for that!”
Cole sighed and said, "Boss, no one blames you. It's you who panicked."
Bottom's eyes widened and he raised his voice and said, "Am I panicking? What am I panicking about? I'm panicking because I'm rolling out of the pile of corpses?" His momentum became weaker and weaker, his voice became lower and lower, his face
He showed a bitter look on his face, shook his head and said: "Okay, I'm a little panicked. Although we haven't dealt with the famous Golden Oak family, it's because we are not qualified. We offended Xiulant this time, and we don't know what will happen next.
.”
Cole thought for a while and said: "Boss, if you come to me to listen to your complaints, I will hear you...I have a very important experiment over there. Do you think I can leave first?"
Bottom breathed out a puff of blue smoke and said: "Among the old guys, you have the best mind. I have something that I haven't figured out. Please help me think about it... I don't think Hurant has ever met Virto.
Gram, but knowing that he suffers from amnesia. However, Hurant’s purpose is probably not to take away Vertok.”
"Boss, what do you think Hulant wants to do?" Cole asked patiently.
Boss Bottom shook his head slowly and said in a deep voice: "People outside are spreading rumors that the Golden Oak family wants to kill all of us. But I don't remember that we have offended the Golden Oak family, and we have sent
There are also many benefits for the important people in the main city. The Golden Oak Clan has no reason to deal with the Adventurer's House. The most important thing is that our strength is not weak. Even if the Golden Oak Clan sends a dragoon squadron to devour us, it will still have to be defeated.
Lose a few teeth... and send two squadrons of dragoons."
Cole raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "Two dragoons? The leader of the Takugo clan will definitely go on a killing spree. Don't forget, this is Takugo, the most sensitive life sacrifice of the Hemer clan. How dare the famous Golden Oak family pick this?
At that time, two squadrons of dragoons were sent to Braun Town and Tower Cave. Hemer had no other option but to fight them to the bitter end. Unless they could massacre the entire Braun Town, as long as one person was escaped alive, all Towers living on the border of the alliance would be destroyed.
Cave, the Hemo clan will all stop the influence of the Golden Oak Clan. Even though the Zhu Ming Clan has a long history, it will not do them any good to break up with the Earth Mother Sect."
The Adventurer's House not only has a fifth-level powerhouse in charge, but also has four spellcasters, as well as a professional physician and pharmacist, who can independently train awakened people and professionals. This also means that half-elves have a chance to come to Braun Town.
An opportunity to change destiny. In fact, Braun Town has formed a self-sufficient governance system, and both the townspeople and adventurers have good cohesion.
In the eyes of the Taku tribe and the Hemo tribe, the sub-elves in Braun Town are vassals of the Earth Mother Temple and are indispensable members of the tribe. Whether they are permanent townspeople or itinerant adventurers, there are two hundred people around Braun Town.
Production work such as gathering, fishing, hunting, planting, and mining within a kilometer area has also improved the living conditions of the rock elves. However, the rock elves do not have much demand for valuable treasures such as gold sand, gems, rare medicinal materials, and expensive animal skins.
The contradiction between the two sides is very small, but the complementarity is very strong, and they gradually become a whole.
It is easy for a famous family in Luoye City to change the mayor of Braun Town. If you want to change Bottom and others, you need the approval of the leader of the Taku tribe.
The rock elves are already hostile to the dragon-veined half-elves. If the Golden Oak Dragoons come to Braun Town and keep a low profile, Steel Rock may turn a blind eye to these bastards, but it will also ask them to settle in the plantation.
The Dragoons would not be unaware of the Earth Mother Sect's views on them, so Hurant's behavior was full of confusion and was simply incomprehensible.
The adult Taku clan who participated in the life festival would have a period of weakness. Xiulant caused trouble during this particularly sensitive period, which led to very serious consequences. Not only did the leader of the Taku clan expel the dragoons from the town, Gang Yan and seven other adults
The Taku tribesmen have decided to conserve their fighting power and not participate in this year's life festival. The gap left by the Hemer female warriors in choosing a partner has been filled by the sub-elves in the town.
It can be said that the hostility of the Tako and Hemo tribes towards the dragoons has been fully drawn by Xiulan, but the famous Golden Oak family has not been able to accomplish anything.
Bottom frowned and said: "I don't understand what Xiulant wants to do? He seems to be deliberately forcing Gang Yan to show up and disrupt the Taku tribe's life sacrifice this year... Originally, Xinna chose Gang Yan to be her spouse. This
Suddenly, Xinna could only choose a half-elf mate. You didn't see how angry she was at the time, and she almost wanted to kill someone."
Cole pondered and said: "Perhaps Hurant's original intention is to take away Wiltok."
"Impossible! His methods are crude and stupid. Do you think the fifth-level Dragon Vein Venerable will be a brainless idiot?"
Cole smiled and said: "The problem may lie in the dragon vein... Use the blood of high-level dragon beasts to make secret medicine, cleanse the body, engrave runes, and then increase the life level of the half-elf. This is the origin of the dragon-vein half-elf.
.Their strength, agility, physique, and intelligence are far superior to ordinary half-elves. Their lifespan is extended, their aging rate is slowed down, and their wounds are easier to recover. Everything seems to be fine."
"However, dragon veins have the flaw of dragon veins. They cannot give birth to offspring. In the view of the Earth Mother Sect, dragon vein half-elves are irredeemable hybrids, and choosing the dragon vein path is a betrayal of the Earth Mother."
"It's okay if the Dragon Vein half-elves have no descendants, and their promotion ladder is cut off. Dragon Vein professionals have a fixed level and cannot continue to be promoted. This is their punishment for betraying the Earth Mother."
Bottom said hesitantly: "In addition to the hostility from the Tower Cave, the Hemo tribe...the dragon-veined half-elves have no descendants and cannot be promoted. It seems that it is not unacceptable."
Dr. Cole nodded and said: "That's right. From a doctor's point of view, dragon-veined half-elves have more advantages than third-level professionals in all aspects. Only those with complete career paths and then triggering a qualitative change in life can compete with dragon-veined half-elves.
Widen the gap. But, how many half-elves can be promoted to level 5 venerable? However, Xiulant is different."
"Didn't you ask the vice-president to inquire about Xiulant? He mastered the secret of the mirror in his 20s, and was promoted to level 5 swordsman before he was 40. His talent is one of the few among many venerables. He is completely
There is a chance to be promoted to the sixth level of great venerable, or even the holy venerable. This guy has switched to the dragon vein path, and his combat power may be stronger than most of the sixth level venerables. But what is the use of this? He has no descendants and cannot continue to be promoted.
I will always be a follower of the Golden Oak Clan Leader, and will never have the chance to create my own side branch."
"I dare say that Hurant's mind and temperament must be extremely distorted. We should not judge Hulant's behavior in the same way we treat ordinary venerables."
Boss Bottom looked at Cole in surprise, nodded and said, "You make sense, keep talking..."
Dr. Cole said slightly proudly: "I guess someone passed the information about Wiltok to Fallen Leaf City. What would he say? Just say that a beautiful young man with amnesia came to Braun Town... So, Wiltok
How beautiful is Tok? Adventurers can't tell clearly. That is, you, a fourth-level professional like me, have gradually realized that Wertok's beauty is a rare and charming trait, but if we want to describe it, we can't
It’s impossible to describe. Only the big shots in the main city can understand Wiltok’s value if they see him with their own eyes. They haven’t seen him, so this information is actually worthless and not worthy of too much attention!”
"Hurant may have heard of Wiltok, but he didn't pay much attention to it before. When he saw Wiltok in Braun Town, he was unprepared. Then, with his twisted and arrogant character,
It’s not surprising to make some irrational decisions.”
"Boss, I think you are thinking too much."
Cole's explanation was just a guess on his part. Bottom was dubious, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Maybe I'm overthinking it?"
Cole added: "Now, Wiltok's situation has been exposed to the famous Golden Oak family. When Hurant and the others go back, Golden Oak may really force us to hand over someone. If possible, can you withstand the pressure?
Let Vertok stay?"
Bottom took two deep puffs on his cigarette and asked: "I don't want to hand him over either, but you were the one who advocated selling Wiltok to a famous family, and said that it would be good for him and for us. Now, we
When encountering such a big thing, you have to give me an explanation."
Dr. Cole's eyes flickered, and after a while, he whispered: "I roughly know the origin of Wiltok. He should be from the same place as me. I guarantee that he is not deeply involved with the famous Golden Oak family... My
It means that if it is just for Wiltok’s beauty and characteristics, the Golden Oak Family will not have to get rid of us.”
"Cole, it affects everyone's life and death. You have to make it clear to me today." Bottom looked at the doctor coldly and said in a deep voice.
Cole rested his arms on the table and was silent for a long time before slowly saying: "The Dragon Vein Pathway has natural flaws, which will lead to the punishment of the Earth Mother. However, the potion formula provided to me by Wiltok can enhance the half-elf like the Dragon Vein Pathway.
His life level does not have the shortcomings of the dragon vein path...compared to the knowledge in his memory, his beauty and attributes are not that precious at all."
"Do you know who is trying to get rid of the Dragon Vein Path?"
Bottom perked up and asked, "Who is it?"
"It's the Earth Goddess Sect." Cole nodded and continued: "To be precise, it was the Priest of the Cardinal Academy hundreds of years ago. After the Earth Temple was robbed by the Dragon King Philumat, the sixteen famous sects divided up the dragons in the temple.
The cavalry corps reorganized the Temple of the Earth. The priests of the Cardinal Academy who lost power left angrily. They turned from the light to the dark and established a secret organization. While engaged in research on secret medicine, they used assassination methods to retaliate against the famous sixteen pillar families. "
"Later, this secret organization was jointly suppressed by the Sixteen Pillar Families and split into several small factions. They still use the original organization name, which is called 'Tower'."
"I was once a professional physician trained by the Tower. In all likelihood, Wiltok was also an experimenter secretly trained by the Tower."
Bottom frowned and murmured: "Tall tower? I have seen tall and broken towers in the ancient ruins in the dark land. Is there any relationship between the two?"
Dr. Cole shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't know about that...Anyway, I have been living in the Tower Organization since I can remember. Later, there was civil strife in the organization. I escaped alone and was rescued by you. After so many years, I dare not
I'm afraid that if my identity is exposed, I'll implicate you. However, the organization has never come to me, so I'm afraid they are doomed."
Bottom asked cautiously: "Is the 'Tower' very powerful?"
Dr. Cole said proudly: "You can see how powerful the 'Tower' is just by looking at my medical skills and medicine refining skills. What's more, the alloy forging method mastered by Wiltok also has the Origin Blood Mystery and Origin Blood Potions.
" His expression gradually became fanatical, and he breathed heavily and said: "I am improving Wiltok's source blood potion. If we can master his source blood secret instrument, you should know what this means to the Adventurer's Home."
"You don't have to worry too much about the pressure from the Golden Oak Clan. I have a way to change Wiltok's appearance. If that doesn't work, we can finally seek refuge with the Golden Oak Clan. With the knowledge Wiltok has and my alchemy skills, we can't
We can protect everyone's safety and interests. Of course, we still have to arrange a few back-ups in advance. If the famous Golden Oak family dares to kill people and silence them, we will reveal all these secrets. I don't believe that the famous Golden Oak family can kill the adventurers.
Everyone in the family will be silenced without leaving any trace."
Bottom held his head in his hands and said with a troubled face: "I want to think about this carefully..."
Dr. Cole said anxiously: "Boss, do you still need to consider this matter? If a poor person picks up a sum of black money, he will surely die if he hands it over. He must find a way to use the money to strengthen himself to survive! Since Wiltok is in Braun Town, we
There is no way out!"
Bottom was horrified. Cole had said so much today, and this sentence made the most sense. He stood up, took two steps back and forth by the window, and said with fierce eyes: "There is no way out, we can only go forward."
!We have saved our lives, but we are still afraid that there will be no way forward?!"
Cole's thin face turned red with excitement, and he said: "Yes! You can't be timid when things get tough. Lord Steel Rock wanted to protect Wiltok before he invited him to participate in the Life Festival. In fact, no Hemer tribe would choose him as a spouse. We
Bring Weir back as soon as possible so that I can give him a new look."
