A day later, Bloodtooth Mine.
In the dark mine cave deep underground, the faint flame of the oil lamp propped up a small piece of gray light. Nine large black iron cages made of thick steel were placed on the open ground in a row of nine squares. The prisoners in the iron cages were Captives in chains and handcuffs.
The captives lay unconscious in iron cages, guarded by kobold soldiers armed with spears.
"Hmm~."
A feeble moan sounded, and the centaur girl in the cage moved, which attracted the attention of the kobold guards.
"Go and report to the master, the prisoner is awake."
The centaur girl—Lilia woke up slowly, feeling dizzy and dizzy.
what happened
correct! I was conspired and poisoned!
She remembered the emerald green poisonous mist pouring out of the sky and covering the sky before she fell into a coma, her scalp was numb, and she hurriedly checked her body.
Weapons and armor are gone!
He put heavy black iron shackles on his hands and hooves, and when he moved a lot, he felt a tingling sensation at the contact parts of his hands and feet and the shackles.
This is due to the rough craftsmanship of the kobolds, and there are burrs on the inside of the shackles made in a hurry.
"Everyone!" Lilia saw the surrounding scene through the gap in the iron cage. Her three partners were locked in the same cage as herself, with their hands and feet shackled. , mouth stuffed with a dirty cloth.
In addition, some centaurs and a human were imprisoned in the surrounding cages. This human was fairly calm, sitting on the edge of the cage and thinking deeply. His clothes were a little messy, but he could still see The materials are expensive.
Human nobility
Lilia didn't have time to think about this. She suppressed the tingling pain and shook the iron cage, making a bang bang sound, and shouted to her unconscious companion: "Everyone! Wake up!"
Perhaps it was her shout that had an effect, or perhaps the poison gas had lost its effect due to the passage of time, and the two elves and halfling thieves woke up one after another.
Wells sat up covering his forehead: "What... what's going on? Where are we?!"
Elf Druid Anna with her mouth covered: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..."
The halfling thief was aware of his situation and calmly observed his surroundings.
"..."
"Quiet! Discussion is not allowed!" The kobold guards guarding the side reprimanded harshly, and knocked on the iron cage with a steel spear, the threat was beyond words.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Rhythmic footsteps sounded, very weak at first, then getting bigger and closer, and under the gaze of everyone, a huge red dragon came out of the passage.
For some reason, the moment Lilia saw the red dragon, a strange thought arose in her heart.
Isn't the red dragon very annoying!
She shook her head, pushing this absurd thought out of her mind.
On the other side, Jose walked into the empty mine and glanced at the prisoners in the cage. He was in a happy mood.
Yesterday, after the green dragon was dealt with, the two dragons mobilized their families to search for the escaped human businessman—Buck.
There are wild boars blocking the road outside, jackals and wolves searching inside, and harpies patrolling in the sky. Buck has no way to escape, and he is finally caught.
As for the gray-tailed centaurs, the brothers of the centaur chief died in the battle with the gnolls. The remaining centaurs were either killed or captured alive. A small number of those who escaped were also killed or captured while searching for human merchants. up.
Counting the dragon-hunting team that was wiped out, Master Yu Geng who was chopped up to feed the wolves, and the elf search and rescue team that was all captured, there are not a single enemy missing.
Of course, Jose's good mood was not entirely the reason for his victory. There was another statue on Xinghe Square. On the base of the statue was a golden ring that resembled an angel's halo.
[Protagonist Halo]: F
[winner]:
All will surrender.
— just not yet.
[Protagonist Halo] is a passive skill, which can affect other people's perception of oneself to a certain extent. Simply put, it is a great increase in charm value.
Charm doesn't directly increase combat power, but it is a very useful ability.
Jose deliberately carried out some exploratory experiments. When taking in new dependents, [Protagonist Halo] used together with Longwei, the effect is explosive.
The red and green dragons launched their dragon power on a group of completely unfamiliar goblins at the same time, and asked the goblins to choose one of the two. As a result, almost all the goblins chose the smaller and weaker red dragon (the green dragon snatched it by itself). One), this dealt a serious blow to the green dragon who was drawn for comparison, and is still suspicious of Long Sheng.
Not only that, but Jose also found that when the family members stayed by his side, they would unconsciously get close to him, and their loyalty increased significantly.
He guessed that if the time is long enough, the [Protagonist Halo] can even achieve the effect of brainwashing. The weaker the strength and the purer the mind, the more affected by the [Protagonist Halo].
But there is one thing, if a creature has a strong hatred for Jose, the [Protagonist Halo] will have little effect, just like the elf ranger in front of him - Wells.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he grasped the iron railing tightly with both hands, wishing he could tear open the railing and rush out to find the red dragon.
"Dragon!"
"Why are you yelling so loudly!"
Jose whipped out a flaming long whip, and the long whip hit the elf ranger's hand grasping the railing, and the elf quickly retracted his hand, gasping for breath in pain.
I'm used to you!
Wells became more and more angry, staring at the red dragon with red eyes: "Dragon! Kill me if you have the ability! My people will avenge me!"
"Kill you?!" Jose jokingly laughed, "Could it be that you don't want to see your sister anymore?"
"I'll be with my sister in the country of Lady Flowers... Wait! What did you just say?!" Wells suddenly realized that he suspected that he had an auditory hallucination.
The red dragon's notoriety for eating miqingling virgins is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the elf mother often uses this to scare disobedient elves.
Having said that, he still didn't let go of any hope, and asked tremblingly, "Is Tilly alive?!"
"That's right, she's not dead," Jose said lightly, "The little elf is too thin, I plan to get fatter before eating."
Wells was furious: "Asshole! Come at me for something! Don't hurt her!"
"What qualifications do you have to make a condition with me?!" Jose pointed his nostrils at the elf ranger disdainfully: "I will hurt both of you."
Wells was angry and desperate, speechless, and he was powerless to refute. Both his brother and sister were in the hands of the red dragon, and it was up to the red dragon to decide whether to live or die.
Seeing the captive's desperate expression, Jose knew that he had achieved his goal, so he accepted it as soon as he saw it, "However, I can give you a chance so that both of you brothers and sisters can survive."
Opportunities that suddenly appear after experiencing despair are so precious.
Even though Wells knew that the red dragon was uneasy and kind, he still couldn't help but look up at the red dragon with a glimmer of hope in his heart.
Jose said the purpose of this trip: "Become my family member, serve me, pass some trivial news, and I will assure you that your sister's life is safe."
