Goron, who transformed into a giant wolf, took a straight line, climbed over mountains and ridges, and walked on water. No mountains, lakes, or rivers could stand in the way. It only took him a quarter of the time to complete the scheduled journey.
In a small town on the border of the empire, the cat girl and Gronn, who had returned to human form, were walking on the streets of the town. They wore desert robes with a very simple structure, hiding Gronn's beautiful appearance and Monica's animal ears and tail. stand up.
The name of this town is Changshan because there is a towering mountain range outside the town that serves as the dividing line between the empire and the dynasty. The starting point of the famous Rocky Mountains is this Changshan town.
Although the "strugglers" are making trouble in the desert, and both the Golden Sun Dynasty and the Seven Towers Alliance are experiencing a bloody catastrophe, the atmosphere in this long mountain town has changed because the strugglers seem to have put a lot of effort into blocking information. It was peaceful, and there was no hint of the coming storm.
After arranging the hotel where they would stay, Gronn and Cat Lady first searched for the largest tavern in the town, not because they were addicted to alcohol, but because no matter where they were, there was a mix of dragons and snakes and drinkers who drank too much alcohol. They are the best sources of information diffusion.
The population of Changshan Town is less than ten thousand, and many of them are traders traveling between the two countries. However, due to the unique geographical environment of the Sun Dynasty, most of the traders are desert residents. After Gron paid careful attention, he found that the number of these desert merchants was really rare, and they basically all returned from the empire, and very few came out of the desert.
However, the desert has a season of raging sandstorms for several months a year, and is not suitable for large-scale caravans. Therefore, this phenomenon has not aroused other people's ideas, that is, the women doing business on Fengyue Street have complained from time to time. Business has been quiet for a few times.
The two Gorons quickly found the place they were looking for, a building where you could smell the aroma of wine and hear the noise from two streets apart. It was five stories high, and the interior and exterior decorations were in a typical imperial style but also transparent. There is a luxurious shadow of the Golden Sun Dynasty. The welcoming girl standing at the door has a hot figure and sexy clothes, almost on the level of the imperial capital of Montenegro.
"Fairy Tail? The name of this bar is really weird."
The two of them passed through the sexy girl's weird gaze, but were stopped by two big-bodied bar thugs: "Hey! This is not a lesbian bar. Two women are not allowed in."
The two guards had obscene and joking expressions on their faces, and they were obviously just teasing the two single women because they were easy to bully. The black panther skin that Goron wore before has been put away. Now, like the cat girl, she wears a simple skirt made of coarse white cloth. With the white cloth covering her head and face, she looks like the common women here. Second, he really doesn’t seem like a person who can come to a bar like this.
Goron was not in the mood to argue with this kind of person. He casually took out a gold coin and threw it on the thug's face, then pushed away the arm blocking him. There are often generous merchant bosses patronizing this place. The thug really didn't pay attention to Goron's gold coin reward. However, that push gave him an irresistible feeling, and his arm was naturally pushed. open. This thug looks like a gangster on the street, but his actual combat power is at the mid-level of the fourth level. This kind of strength can also hold the rank of low-level general in the imperial army. Gron's push is ordinary in the eyes of others, but only The thug himself knew how powerful this move was.
If you can easily push his hand away, you can easily take off his head.
But the other thug didn't know this. He grabbed the corner of Goron's clothes as he passed by, and said in a conspiratorial manner: "Little bitch, this is not the kind of place where anyone can come. Don't think that... I don't know where to steal a wallet or two to show off here, but you can lift your veil and let me see your face first. If you can see through it, maybe I can let you two in after you accompany me... "
Before he could finish speaking, his companion grabbed him and covered his mouth tightly. Then the thug nodded towards Gron with a strange expression, and then pulled his bewildered companion out of the way.
"Those two guys, even if you don't kill them, you should chop off one of their hands." The cat lady started muttering as soon as she entered the door, and then looked at Goron with a strange face and said: "I can't tell, Miss Gloria's temper is so bad So good. If he had said that to me, I would have cut his throat."
"Are you going to get angry with your food if you have nothing to do?" Goron replied casually, and then found a table to sit down. Activating the second magical power in such a place will only cause your ears and head to be instantly noisy. On the contrary, it is more reliable to listen with your own ears.
As expected, you can hear all kinds of information here, from which dancer in the bar has the best kung fu, which company's convoy encountered demi-human robbers, to the latest political secrets in the empire. Goron quickly locked his target. Several young men dressed as adventurers sat in the corner of the hotel with heavy expressions.
Gronn ignored the cat girl and ordered a large drink of rye bitters. Then he walked over with the barrel, sat down on the empty seat at the table occupied by the young adventurer, and said, "If you don't mind, Can we have a drink together?"
Goron's abruptness surprised these young people. They stared at the uninvited woman with vigilant eyes. A half-elf girl with pointed ears dressed as a dark walker said coldly: "If you want, just wear a thick Do you drink with a towel?”
Goron pulled off his turban and said, "Is this okay?"
But he didn't wait for a response for a long time. When he raised his eyes, he found that the young men and women in front of him were staring at his face in stunned silence. They were actually fascinated by Goron's face, which was comparable to that of the Succubus Queen. Fortunately, they were sitting in the corner of the room and the light was very dim, so they did not cause a commotion.
"You, you, you are so beautiful..."
The handsome young swordsman murmured in a daze.
"Thank you." Gelong responded nonchalantly, and then he glanced out of the corner of his eyes and found that the other two women on the table were looking at him with fierce and jealous eyes. Goron frowned, but he really didn't have the time to pay attention to a few little girls with complicated thoughts, and said directly to the boys who were obviously attracted to him: "I just overheard a few words about what you just said, you guys He seems to have come from the imperial capital, Black Mountain, right?”
There are three young men and two women. Except for the young swordsman who looks very much like the captain, the other two men are dressed as priests and magicians respectively, while the two girls are archers and dark walkers, which can be said to be standard. It can no longer be a standard adventure team configuration. Among these men and women, not to mention the half-elf archers, several other humans also have first-class looks and figures. Adventurers are usually exposed to wind and sun, and their skin will generally leave traces. , but their faces are all pink and tender, like babies. Either they have just started their adventurous career, or they use expensive potions for daily maintenance, or both reasons. In short, he is definitely not an ordinary novice adventurer.
"We are the 'Determinator' team. We are indeed an adventure team officially registered in the imperial capital of Montenegro. We are here to perform a mission."
After the initial shock, the young people basically returned to normal, especially the three young boys, who all began to deliberately express themselves in front of Goron, and even had a faint sense of competition with each other. The faces of the two girls naturally became more and more serious. The darker the color, it can be seen that they are more or less interested in the young swordsman.
"It seems we haven't introduced each other yet. My name is Alex, and I am the captain of this team. Charming lady, what is your name?"
"Gloria." Gronn habitually reported this frequently used pseudonym. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished reporting, the expressions of several young people, especially the young swordsman, became a little strange.
"Gloria? I remember that not long ago, there was a *** who fascinated everyone in the aristocratic circle of the imperial capital. No, it was a beautiful boy. His name seemed to be Gloria. If it weren't for... Well, I'm sorry, but to be honest, I really thought you were that person just now?" Alex glanced at Goron's tall and plump chest, and lowered his head with a flushed face.
Goron smiled lightly, neither denying nor admitting, and directly changed the subject: "How is the Imperial Capital now? Are there any big news recently? We came from the desert and were planning to go there to have a look."
What Gron asked was not a sensitive question, nor was it a secret about the "Determinator" team. Several young people looked obviously relaxed and rushed to answer.
"Speaking of Black Mountain, a lot of major events have indeed happened recently. In addition to the great emperor's wedding that everyone knows about, there is also the public execution of the most beautiful woman in the imperial capital, Count Amanda. In addition, there is the Black City. For the guild’s latest product launch, I heard that the mysterious boss behind the scenes will also come to the front.”
"Well, it is indeed interesting, but I have heard most of these before. Can you be more specific? For example, who is the Emperor marrying? When is the date? Is the big boss behind the Black City Chamber of Commerce a man? Female? And on the border of the empire, I heard that the Kuxiong Principality is openly rebelling. How is the war going? "
As Goron spoke, he poured wine for the young mage who had just spoken. His treatment immediately aroused the jealousy of the other two, so the three of them almost scrambled to explain to Goron. Gradually, in addition to what Goron already knew, In addition, some new information was also revealed by them.
"The war with the Kuxiong Principality is currently entering a stalemate stage again. The iron wall of the empire, the Dragon Knights, has marched to the Beijing border. Although the Dragon Knights are invincible, because the dragon knight commander Letusus never showed up, the three dragons The cavalry commander has never been able to gain an overwhelming advantage against the several hill kings of the principality. In addition, the new generation of gunpowder weapons using steam magic energy as the main power of the Kuxiong Principality are emerging one after another. The empire continues to attack and destroy its production line arsenal. There is no effect, so both sides are trying to avoid further escalation of the war. Of course, this is just the calm before the storm. Not only are the Dragon Knights waiting for the return of their coach Retusus, it is said that the dwarf alchemist Vegapunk is also working on one. The latest weapon, I heard that this weapon is related to a mutated two-headed ogre, that one... "
