While filling her stomach, Linda explained to everyone why she followed the team. Now that she had appeared, she didn't intend to hide anything anymore, and she described in detail what she had been doing behind everyone all along.
"Is it just a matter of convenience?" Facing Linda's explanation, the blood-piercing trio had to smile wryly at each other.
They believed that Linda had no malicious intentions. After all, in the mercenary union, the little girl who was in charge of registration tasks had always taken good care of them and often gave them some well-paid employment tasks.
It's just that they are not the ones who can make decisions now. Whether they can accept Linda's explanation depends on what Qin Lun and others think. However, seeing Linda's confident appearance, she probably doesn't care much about whether everyone accepts it or not.
"Mastashia, what do you think?" Qin Lun turned to the highland elves and asked.
"I think what she said is credible. In fact, I was also very puzzled at the time. The speed of the ghost-faced squid chasing and killing us was a bit slow. I didn't expect that there were people helping in secret." Mastacia looked at the oily Linda , a light flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile.
Qin Lun and Hill looked at each other and nodded. Linda's explanation seemed full of flaws to them. At least these two deep-minded apostles didn't believe that the little girl did a small favor for Seaford and the blood-piercing mercenary group just on a whim.
From the point of view at that time, neither Seaver nor the blood-piercing mercenary group thought of going so deep into the land of death, and even entered the claws of the troll. If you just want to go around the periphery of the land of death as before, then Linda's so-called help can stand.
So another question came up, if that was the case, why did Linda come to look after them herself? Xi Fu and her are not relatives, but the pricking blood trio has some friendship with her, but it is not to the extent that they depend on each other for life and death.
Of course, in fact, Linda was indeed just a whim, and there were not as many conspiracy theories as these two guys imagined.
Despite having many doubts, Qin Lun and Hill held back. Because there is one thing they believe in, that is, Linda should be harmless. Otherwise, along the way, the little girl would have many opportunities to do something, and she didn't even need to do it herself, as long as they destroyed their rescue and escape actions.
"Miss Linda, according to what you said, there is not only you as a follower behind our team, but also another legendary bounty assassin?" Qin Lun's heart moved, and he remembered another question in the little girl's narration.
"Well, he has followed to the entrance of the Troll's Claw." Linda tilted her head and thought for a while, then suddenly frowned her pretty eyebrows, and said with a flattened mouth, "However, after I warned this guy, he seems to be really I gave up. At least after passing through the cave of the eight-eyed spider, I can't feel his breath."
In fact, the bounty assassin didn't give up because of Linda's warning, and his attention later turned to Bord'an's treasure. I don't know if I got other clues, so I didn't continue to follow up.
"The last question!" Qin Lun raised a finger and asked cautiously, "We have sensed a powerful aura from you, which shows that your strength is indeed enough to stop the ghost-faced squid, but... what are you?"
After Qin Lun asked this sentence, except for the two ordinary people Xi Fu and Mason in the team, everyone's heartstrings were highly tense, and they seemed a little extra cautious.
After Linda fell from the sky, she didn't hide her breath anymore. With the strength of Qin Lun and others, it is easy to notice that this aura is a bit too huge, so huge that it doesn't look like a human of any bloodline.
Linda didn't seem to feel the weird atmosphere around her. When she heard Qin Lun's question, she immediately showed a distressed expression, shook her head fiercely, blinked her eyes and said pitifully, "I'm a human being!"
Everyone was slightly taken aback, with different expressions, but there was one thing that was unified, that is, no one would trust the little girl anymore, and they all looked like "you are lying to a ghost".
"I'm really human!" Linda sighed angrily, "It's just that the blood of my ancestors is a bit complicated. To be precise, I'm a dragon-blooded magician!"
This time everyone understood and came to their senses one after another.
Most of the giant dragons in Faerun Continent are creatures beyond legends. They are born with magical abilities, coupled with extremely high physical defense, they hardly have any natural enemies.
Although they are few in number, every appearance will bring great disaster. Therefore, there are no other intelligent races on the mainland who are not afraid of dragons, and warriors who can slay dragons will become legends of an era.
Tethyr, the king of the Keldomo moon elves, became the protagonist of the epic story of that era precisely because he killed the two adult red dragons in the mountains.
To this day, there are still very few legendary figures who have the title of dragon slayer, and the so-called dragon slayers that some bards swear by are just gathering crowds to kill some sub-dragons, and they are not the same as real dragon slayers And language.
However, with the passage of time, the Faerun continent has changed, and the large population of humans has become the leader of the continent. Many powerful ancient dragons either went to other planes, or fell into a deep sleep, and began to hide from the world, so as not to attract the prying eyes of other races.
The remaining giant dragons are no longer as unscrupulous as in ancient times, and their clansmen have become fewer and fewer.
If some giant dragons wake up from slumber, they will use dragon language magic to change their size, walk in the world again, and begin to get familiar with some changes in the secular world and new magic knowledge during the slumber.
It's just that the nature of dragons is obscene. When these giant dragons use the images of humans and elves to walk in the world, most of them will leave some human descendants of themselves. This is the original origin of the dragon veins.
Elves and humans have the most dragon veins. This may be because the appearance of elves and humans is the most in line with the aesthetics of giant dragons. At least no one has heard of some ugly races, such as goblins and dwarfs, who also have dragon veins.
As the dragon veins grow up, they will awaken some innate abilities from their bloodlines. Both physical fitness and elemental sensitivity are several times stronger than ordinary people. They are natural spellcasters and have a lifespan comparable to that of a full-blooded great elf.
The aura that everyone sensed from Linda was the faint dragon aura, which also showed that although the little girl in front of her had not reached the legendary level, she still had the powerful strength to block the ghost-faced squid and the legendary assassin.
After unraveling the doubts in their hearts, everyone's expressions relaxed a lot. However, the three apostles in the team had twinkling eyes and were communicating in the team channel.
"This girl will definitely have a big story mission!" Hill said with a smile.
With Qin Lun rescuing Elisine, the mood of the three apostles looking for plot missions began to warm up again.
At this time, the task of "Trace of Bo De'an" received by the three is still there, but all three of them are sensitive to the fact that this task is about to disappear. Maybe when they get out of the troll's claws, this mission will stop immediately, and then the stay time will be less than ten days.
Originally, the Char knight armor on Rick gave Qin Lun and others the idea of exploring. It's just that this is the privacy of the knights after all. Even if they are in trouble together now, they may not be told to them.
What's more, the Char Kingdom is in the southern part of the mainland, and they are heading north at this time, so it's hard to say whether they can receive the relevant plot missions. But as a dragon veiner, Linda will definitely be involved in many important plots, and it is easier to work hard on her.
As for directly killing Linda, the dragon vein master, the three apostles didn't think much about it. After all, dragon veins are not giant dragons, and compared to the plot clues they provide, they are of little value. Besides, they may not be able to win against the last dragon-veined magician whose strength is unknown.
Besides, Linda is now willing to become the team's powerful thug, so why should the three apostles ask for trouble.
"Mastashia is a master harpist, maybe you can try out the plot!" Rand made another suggestion.
"It's not too late to talk about this after we're safe!" Qin Lun hesitated for a moment, then said, "Maybe you forgot about Elistine, but why she went into the land of death to look for me may also be a plot clue."
Hill and Rand smiled at each other, of course they didn't forget Elistine. As an elf druid who has experienced many epic plots with Qin Lun, he is naturally the biggest plot provider.
It's just that they could see that the relationship between Elisteen and Qin Lun was weak, and Qin Lun didn't mention it, so they had no choice but to pretend to be deaf and dumb.
However, when Qin Lun thought of this question, he couldn't sit still any longer. He sat next to the Elf Druid and asked in a low voice, "Elisten, why did you come to the Land of the Dead?"
"After you... disappeared, we all thought it was the Zhentarim who made a mess, and we stayed at Baldur's Gate for a while." Elistine glanced at him and said angrily, "But you know, Mi Both Leras and the dwarf prince Lorraine have important responsibilities, and they couldn't stay at Baldur's Gate for long, and in the end there were only Idriya and I left."
"Didn't that kid Mileras persuade you?" Qin Lun touched his nose in embarrassment and asked a little strangely.
"Mirelas has a lot of confidence in you, and has been persuading me to leave first." Elistine pouted, pretending to be annoyed, "Now it seems that he is right, you are alive and kicking, we are all white Worry about it!"
Elistine's eyes were a little blurred, and she was obviously caught in previous memories, "I was very worried at the time, and I was frantically looking for traces of the Zhentarim. Later, Idriya couldn't see it anymore, so she dragged me to join the mercenary union , I want to make money while doing tasks, while continuing to inquire about your news."
Speaking of this, the elven druid's eye circles were a little red, "I know she is asking me to let go of the burden in a disguised form, but I haven't been able to appreciate it for a long time. Finally, we finally learned that there is a Several members of the Zhentarim entered the Land of the Dead.
Coincidentally, at that time, Seafo issued a mission in the mercenary union to recruit people to enter the land of death... You will know the next thing! "
