It was quite late when I came out of the City Lord's Mansion, but I really didn't want to go back to the detention center.
Detention Center? Yes, the lich Roland was still being detained by the detention center for causing the big riot, but he just sneaked out.
Although planning a large-scale streaking does not violate any law, it is really not a crime, but it is definitely something to do after three or five days of self-reflection, and let him reflect on not to repeat the crime while in captivity.
Now I have summoned a skeleton, put the usual decorations and clothes on him, and left some magic power on him, pretending to be a dozing lich, but my body slipped out. If it is normal, in order not to be discovered, I really need Slip back quickly.
After all, the dark elves are very sensitive to magic power, and they will accidentally cross the gang when they are patrolling, but now, they have no time to care about the obedient lich in the corner.
reason? That's because they're very busy, super busy... That's because of my own sin, the engineering ban month.
From the point of view of purifying the atmosphere of Sulphur Mountain City, this ban is perfect. After those damn gnomes and goblins were thrown into the detention center, the crime rate and alarm rate of the entire Sulphur Mountain City dropped by more than 3% at the same time, and it was a night. Not a single explosion occurred.
But when the city management knights slept happily, they found that this was the beginning of the nightmare.
What is more unmanageable than one trouble is the accumulation of several troubles. When many engineering masters are united in the detention center, when the banner of the first Sulphur Mountain City Engineering Exchange Conference is played, it is me who is well-informed, and also Amazed with my buddies.
The goblin engineering masters exchanged their experiences of exploding and being exploded, and the gnomes exchanged various new ideas and new methods, well, mainly various ways to kill, even, when the body was completely searched, in extreme Boredom, gnomes and goblins even quarreled about the fusion of the two types of engineering...
Originally, I was quite interested in fanning the flames... "We can build a goblin shredder the size of a mountain, and a chainsaw can cut down the ancient war trees of the high elves? Impossible? It will be overweight? How come there is no such thing as a child? Imagination, you forgot that there is more than one master here, as long as you use the dwarf's electronic tube and decompression spring, not only will it not be overweight, it should not explode too fast"
"We could make a giant mechanical fire-breathing dragon and paint the horns red on the head, so it's triple the speed."
"We can make a drill-bit airship with a constantly rotating head, and use it to drill holes into the ground, so that we don't have to pay tolls in a dungeon that guards the ground passage."
But soon, I found out that something was wrong. The action of these guys was too strong. When I mentioned fusion technology and new research topics, I had so much fun chatting that I actually started doing it.
"No fire source? The heel of my shoe is a lighter, and when the flint hits the ground, there will be sparks."
"No parts? Hehe, my younger brother Silver Hook is still a part-time Fire Mage, what is it to make parts with a few iron rods."
"No gunpowder? Hehe, I'm a double master of goblin gold and goblin engineering, come here, pick me up that bar of soap... No, I'm not gay, I just want soap and animal fat from your lunch, look I make nitroglycerin by hand!! This is a unique skill I learned from the seal people in North Ruosi. Since I mastered this secret recipe, my mother no longer has to worry about my nitroglycerin propeller running out of fuel."
"There is no fuse, catalyst and clockwork? Wait for me to undress... Hey, I'm not gay, you see, this clothes is soaked in liquid black cable silver, and it can be detonated by tearing a piece of cloth (the goblin next to him uses revered Looking at him, it means 'you are a model of goblin research spirit, you dare to wear such a thing'). This set of buttons is the most basic tool set, wrench, screwdriver, vise all have Do you want it? Don't sell it, this is a birthday gift from that smart lich to me, a precious symbol of our friendship!!... If you want to buy it too much, it's not impossible, at least 30,000 gold coins are required to sell it!"
Proudly rubbed his hairless chin, the pale-green gold-toothed Bea grinned at me and gave me a thumbs up.
Watching the Bea brothers who are vaguely the leader of the crowd because of their excellent technology, watching them dismantle iron rods and melt parts, take soap, and extract dynamite from animal fat, my annoyed bowels are green, um, if I have bowels .
"...I swear, when I go out, I must find a reason to throw them in jail. Crime? If there is no accident, let them continue to mess around, and it will happen later."
Well, the detention center built for the citizens' tax money won't be bombed into the sky, and more importantly, I don't want to fly into the sky, so I called for support without hesitation.
"Eliza, go to the city management headquarters and report the case, saying that the goblins in the detention center are making a big bomb that can blow up the entire city!"
Well, the rest is very simple. The city officials arrived, and together with the guards of the detention center, they severely suppressed this group of lawless engineering masters...
But this is just the beginning... Once the fire of truth is ignited, it can never be extinguished - Master Goblin Engineer Goldfang Bea.
Their communication and cooperation is only transferred from the ground to the underground, all kinds of engineering drawings fly around like underground intelligence connectors, and information can be conveyed with one look...
Moreover, the idea of a large-scale cooperation project between the engineering masters of Sulphur Mountain City was spread to the outside by someone’s communication tool. After that, engineering masters from outside continued to take the initiative to commit crimes, seeking opportunities to join this “grand event”, which brought the treasure as a membership fee. Components.
As a result, as soon as the guards turned around, they began to work tinkling, and the guards stared at them, and they whistled to the sky and pretended to be innocent.
In desperation, all the city management officers were in place, one stared at the other, and guarded against the dead. Naturally, the other prisoners were relieved, and I took this opportunity to sneak out to see Annie.
Cough, this is the end of the memory. Today's detention center is like a crater, and it is possible to turn the sky at any time. Well, in the literal sense of the sky, maybe it is more appropriate to use the word bomb.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, what’s more, I never consider myself a gentleman who abides by morals, and I will not take the initiative to enjoy the explosion.
"Then, before they play off the explosion, find a place to pass the time, um, let's go and see Xiaohong."
But what surprised me was that through contact, I learned that she was not at home from her subordinates.
"Hehe, she has suffered the biggest loss in her life this time, and she must be pissed. Now, if it wasn't for someone to fight, there would be nothing left!"
Sure enough, when I arrived at Flaming Rose, the largest tavern in the central district, just as I approached the small private room where we used to go, the familiar voice came from inside.
"Roland, come and drink with me!"
"Why, a person turned into a human form to drink boring wine? Alcohol is not good for wounds."
Yes, similar to the bad girls in human beings, Xiao Hong, who was in the same rebellious period, also likes drinking and fighting. Now there is no suitable opponent to fight, so naturally he can only find a place to drink.
"Hmph, that's what your fragile human beings need to avoid. For me, drinking some wine is just enough to relieve pain and sleep better."
When the curtain was opened, the person in front of him holding a wooden barrel and pouring wine directly, who was still a dwarf and counting spirits, was a beautiful woman with black hair and eyebrows.
The long black hair is as smooth as silk, and the crescent-like eyebrows are embroidered to add some feminine delicacy. The figure is extremely high, and the tight leather jacket shows the perfect figure. She is bloody, just looking at her appearance, and she still feels like a lady from a scholarly family.
The left eye is now wearing an eye patch, and there is a lot of gauze on his body. There is still the smell of medicinal wine all over his body, which makes him feel a little more weak.
But as long as she opens her eyes, no one will take her as a weak woman. The wildness in the beast's eyes, no, it should be said that the eyes of the predators at the top of the food chain are looking at the food, which will make the weak feel that their lives are at stake and tremble with fear. .
What, disappointed? Think that the red dragon girl will be a cute little red-clothed loli when she turns into a human figure? Too naive, the dragon transformed into a little girl? The habitual prejudice of reading too many knight novels.
why? A little girl with explosive force suddenly fell from the wilderness. The ground is full of mud and dust, but her clothes are gorgeous and spotless? Even a fool knows there is a problem.
Cough, back then, this dragon girl did read a lot of knight novels, and planned to infiltrate our adventure group for an epic adventure, but unfortunately, we saw through it at the very beginning.
It's just that we, who are happy to have one more powerful thug and mascot, how can we break it, instead we try to pretend to be stupid and raise our arms to warmly welcome the "new legendary young girl Berserker and Fire Mage".
In the end, due to an accidental revealing of her true appearance, but facing us who had known it for a long time, she did ask what was wrong with her disguise, but the answer became her lifelong shame and super black. history.
"Power takes time to accumulate. It looks like a legend of about ten years old. After ruling out several possibilities, other powerful races change is the most likely answer, and the most likely to do such a thing should be the dragon." This is Margaret explained coldly. Back then, she was an ordinary human mage with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, and she was still very concerned about Xiaohong's face.
"Equipment and weapons, you can buy a small city by throwing out the spider silk skirt of the Queen of the Demon Hunting Spider." Considering the gentle character and gentlemanly demeanor that Paladins should show, they should be cautious in this situation. To her face, I racked my brains and tried to find a less obvious flaw, and said with a smile.
"Stupid Xiaohong, when we first met, you killed our rations for a week at one time, so we needed to hunt for supplementary food. Do you think humans can eat that much? Hmph, it made me lose weight for one night." Okay, Thief Lisa Grant broods over how hungry she was that day.
"Haha, you idiots, you didn't know it until so late. I knew it at first sight. Wasn't Xiaohong reading a book at the time? Isn't that popular knight novel "The Dragon Princess from the Stars" about the journey of a dragon turning into a little girl In the world, have you still talked about love stories with humans? Such obvious flaws are not seen. Haha, people are always said to be stupid, I think you are the ones... ahhh!!"
This is... Well, it was indeed that fool Adam, and it took us a long time to find the foolish brave who was punched several kilometers away by the angry Xiaohong. Fortunately, he was an excellent meat shield, so he was able to get back in the Accidentally moved, she survived in front of the genuine little red.
Well, at this point, the cute little Lolita Dragon Princess is gone, and replaced by this mature version of Dragon Sister, but, in fact, this is also very suitable for her character, so although the dragon family can adjust their transformation Race and age (transfiguration can choose to transform into elves, humans, but the appearance will not change), she has always used this appearance.
As for the red clothes, that's true. After transforming, ordinary dragons often like to wear clothes with similar skin color. Xiaohong really likes red, but the problem is...
Adam's fellow is also red, and that fellow keeps causing trouble everywhere, so if he wears the same clothes, won't he be regarded as a companion? No one would want to be regarded as the same kind of fool... What Xiaohong said back then was definitely not my deliberate slander.
"What are you doing at Gulong? Come and help me roast meat. I remember that you were the best at roasting meat in our group. Let me see if your craftsmanship has deteriorated."
"You still remember."
Yes, I know that I am that year's Paladin Captain Lolo. On the bright side, there is Xiaohong in front of me, the ancient red dragon Ainmethius.
The way and angle of the dragon of the golden race to see people is completely different from that of mortals. In front of the pair of dragon eyes who can see through the soul, it is impossible to hide from her from the beginning.
It's just that our relationship is a companion, rather than an accomplice... Some things, tacitly pretending to be stupid, is far better than embarrassing everyone.
Now, while I was roasting the meat, I just sprinkled the secret spice (mainly a mixture of cumin and chili powder, which is also the casting material for smoke spells), and before I could brush the oil, she took it in one bite and ate it twice, Enjoy eating.
"This time, if you were wronged, I will help you find your way back."
Xiaohong was indeed wronged this time. If it weren't for some reason, she wouldn't even be injured this time, let alone losing.
Do you think it's hard to admit defeat? Where is the most troublesome place for the dragon race? Strong melee ability, excellent magic? No, the most difficult thing for them to deal with is that they have wings! can fly!
Dragons are born to be chongs of the sky. Their flying skills are extremely good. Young dragons can use magic to help them float in the air, and adult dragons can fly at will. For an ancient dragon like Xiaohong, flying and breathing are generally easy and natural, and she even It can fly freely in the sky without wings, violating the laws of physics.
The dragon's habit of fighting the enemy is to suddenly fall from the clouds, spray the dragon's breath and magic blows before the reaction, and then pull up before the counterattack and come out.
Although this tactic sounds shameless, it is extremely difficult to deal with. If you want to slay a dragon, please think of letting the dragon fall to the ground first. Therefore, even a super empire will not offend the dragon clan at will. After all, no one wants their capital to be separated by two days. A fire broke out, but no murderer could be found.
The high mobility of the dragons is the most difficult thing for them to deal with. Ninety percent of the dragons are killed because the dragons are trapped in their lair or trapped. Just looking for your revenge, it is extremely difficult to deal with.
This time, Xiaohong was injured so badly, just because Adam and Margaret were behind her, and she couldn't move at all, so she could only stay alive as a meat target.
Being beaten by someone as a fixed target, such a serious injury, naturally makes the arrogant Xiaohong full of grievances and unhappiness.
Hearing that I wanted to find a place for her, Xiaohong first had a meal, then picked up the wooden barrel on the side and poured a gulp of wine.
"Cough cough!!"
But she drank too quickly, and this stupid dragon accidentally choked herself, so I quickly patted her back to relieve her breath.
"...No, I'll find my place myself, Moriel, I'll find her myself, don't interfere."
I shook my head, knowing that she was unwilling to admit defeat, and that was the answer as expected. However, Xiaohong's individual strength is indeed vaguely higher than that of the Dragon Queen Moriel, otherwise, the old guy would have come to the door to clean up the door long ago. After all, Xiaohong is one of the few who can truly threaten her Dragon Queen throne.
"Let's find the place together, this time my loss is not small."
As expected, when I talked about my travel and trouble plan, Xiaohong, who was just looking for a place to vent out of fear, happily agreed.
Just finished speaking, and looked at me with a playful face.
"How is Lisa doing?"
"... What are you talking about? Oh, Eliza? He's still the same vicious yin person as always. Who is not good to learn, but Margaret, it's getting harder and harder to deal with, and I was arrested two days ago. She went to the detention center. It was a wrong choice to pick her up back then."
"Don't pretend to be stupid, you know that my dragon eye looks directly at the soul. Eliza is Liza, the last member of our adventure group, the big thief whose goal was to become a multi-millionaire back then, and Adam's stupid crush Lisa Grant for half her life. Hehe, Eliza, that is, the prefix E before Liza for emphasis, such a simple alphabet game, it is estimated that the idiot Adam can’t understand it.”
"... When did you see it through?"
"From the very beginning when you brought back that half-demon girl. Hmph, you're not much stronger than me, and your disguise is not flawed. However, you're really amazing. I remember that Lisa was obviously dead, even her soul. It's all down to the root... Wait, half-demon, you won't go to the river of the dead to get her back, will you?"
"Yes, as a human Lisa has died, and now Eliza is a new life and soul. It can be said that Eliza is Lisa, not Lisa."
Looking at Xiaohong who was full of interest, I had a bitter look on my face. It seemed that there were some things that had to be explained back then.
