Speaking of which, it was only one day since we were separated from the stupid big man, but the big man seemed very excited when he saw us. He blocked the door and waved his hands vigorously to say hello, with an innocent and harmless smile on his face—being caught The trio of iron knights he blocked outside should have been ready to charge by this time.
"Big guy, come and sit here!" I waved my hand vigorously at the stupid big guy, and at the same time, Qianqian yelled towards the counter: "Boss, come again... just wait and see how many more meals will be served."
The veteran behind the counter squinted his eyes at the big fool, and then went to the back kitchen to assign work in person with trepidation.
The silly big man walked towards our table with big strides. Just as he left the door, I heard Joseph's voice from outside: "Charging formation, ready-charge... oh wait a minute!"
Then I saw three people wearing the armor of the National Knights rushing into the door. The first one was the handsome elf Joe, and the second was the strong and bear-like Joseph (of course compared to the stupid big man) It looks like a teddy bear), the third person has red hair and wears women's armor, that's Anna—women really get preferential treatment, even though they crawled in, at least they can lie on two layers of meat shields: Although these two layers of meat shields are covered with a layer of steel plates.
The steel plate collided with the steel plate, and then hit the wooden floor. Of course, there was a series of loud noises immediately. The few customers in the restaurant were all quiet at once, and then there were chuffing and chuffing sounds everywhere around: now appearing here Most of the people in the place are mercenaries from outside and ordinary soldiers under the Knights. Although the trio of Joseph is a bit funny, at least they have the title of knights. They are considered officers here, so everyone in the restaurant is embarrassed to laugh. speak up. But some people don't care about this. The old manager of the restaurant rushed out when he heard the commotion outside. The old man was in his fifties, and he was as nimble as a young man. A duel inside! The first thing he heard was the sound of knight armor... Is it the three of you?"
The store manager who was a veteran obviously knew Joseph's trio. He looked at the three iron cans struggling to get up from the ground, and at a glance he judged that they were tripped by the door frame when they rushed in: "This is a hungry man." crazy?"
Trio: "…"
Three iron knights came over and sat across from us in disgrace, their armor rattling, and I sympathized with each of them and ordered a glass of foamy wine (that's what the locals call it anyway, it's a low-alcohol wine, but it's not beer) ), thinking that it is not unreasonable for these three to have been iron knights for fifteen years. Joseph patted Joe on the shoulder. The latter probably had a relatively healthy elf self-esteem, so he looked extremely depressed. As the leader of the trio, the former felt that it was necessary to enlighten him: "Joe, do you still remember the Knight's Creed?"
The handsome elf looked confused: "You said 'control your emotions, don't get angry'?"
"The one that says 'endure setbacks as training'."
Then the two unreliable elders laughed heartily at the same time, raised their glasses and knocked vigorously: "Cheers!" "Cheers!" "For training!" "For challenges!" Your uncle don't mention this..."
I couldn't help but focus on the red-haired Yujie in the trio, wondering why Anna, who looks so upright, formed a team with two old and unscrupulous women, and suddenly remembered this The elder sister urged Qiao to let the big fool beat him fifteen times, and she knew in her heart: people should not be judged by appearances, this person might be the same type as Qianqian...
"We've been looking for you for a long time," the stupid big man drank from the wooden wine glass in one gulp, and repeated what he said just now when he entered the door. The stool under his butt seemed a bit restrictive for this big man. He dragged the stool back uncomfortably, "The camp outside is really big, and you can even pitch your own tent, which is much better than the military camp. I really want to change with you."
Bingtis took a look at the big fool: "Didn't Qianqian say yesterday that he would come to the fortress to find you... Oh, these three are dispatched together, is there a business?" She looked at the three of Joseph, He looked like he had nothing to do with himself: "Didn't you say that no one cares about free mercenaries? Don't waste our time if your Knights have some business."
"It's really the first time I've seen you like this..." Anna looked at Sister Bing in surprise, and then waved her hand, "Don't worry, it's not a serious business, just follow the rules to see how your camp is going, see if you need help, and Do you need to collect some supplies in advance: If the supplies of mercenaries from afar are insufficient, you can collect some from the fortress warehouse first, and then return after you complete the commission of the knight order. How can we say that the three of us are also your guarantors, You also have first-line units like magicians, so you have to pretend to be responsible."
Bingtis smiled suddenly: "Well, you are very angry with me, and most people are too embarrassed to say the last sentence directly."
At this time, Joseph and Joe clinked glasses again, and the former breathed alcohol: "Should the guarantor meet with the mercenary sponsored by him, this should be considered a serious matter, right?"
Joe shyly held the cup: "Anna doesn't count if she says it doesn't count. You haven't realized this after chasing her for almost ten years?"
When Qianqian and Lin Xue heard that there seemed to be gossip in it, they immediately raised their ears, but Joe and Joseph continued to fight for wine. Qianqian continued to study the bunch of gadgets she bought with a disappointed face, while Lin Xue narrowed her eyes and showed a weird smile. I suddenly realized something, and I was covered in cold sweat: a person who can know what you are doing anytime, anywhere The voyeurism is actually not scary. The scary thing is that Lin Xue is a guy like Lin Xue who is looking at your life directly. Things you don’t know will be seen by others first. No wonder the profession of prophet is so popular in other The place is not easy to die, this ability to pull hatred is equivalent to two battalions of anti-war or twelve Sikaro standing together...
"What are you thinking? Is this lady such an immoral person?" She really deserves to be a friend of Huanxi for several years. Lin Xueguang knew what I was thinking when she heard her panting. Just a moment."
At the end, she added in a very low voice: "There is only one person that Miss Ben stares at for a long time."
Immediately, I was moved and terrified at the same time: Fortunately, I haven't watched a pornographic movie since I had a daughter-in-law...
At this time, our food finally came, and I don't know what Qianqian wanted. In short, although the food in this world tastes a little strange, it is also easy to accept. The stew-like food in front of everyone's eyes tastes strange. world flavor. The owner of the restaurant also worked hard to prepare simple and practical meals for him according to his size: a bowl of noodle-like soup and rice. I think the bowl is almost as big as the pot.
"This is the pot we use for cooking." The young man who served the food admitted it honestly when he heard me whisper.
Xiao Hei, the psychic cat, jumped off the silly big man's shoulders, stretched his neck and opened his mouth: "Feed me."
I was just about to say that cats can’t eat too hot food, but suddenly I remembered that this is a different world, and this black cat can’t reason normally, so I quickly pressed the question back and changed the topic: “The big one , are you still used to living away from home?"
"Is there anything you're not used to?" The silly big man rolled the noodles into small rolls with a fork and put them in front of the little black cat, while smiling honestly, "I have traveled a lot before, although I have never been to a big city. But you don’t choose a place to sleep.”
"It's just not good not to have my own room," the little black cat pawed at the noodles boredly, "as a noble cat, I don't even have my own room, it's so sad—and my master has to live with me." Three people sleep in one room."
"You have a lot of requirements for a cat." Joseph squinted at Xiao Hei. "The place where you live is still a trivial matter. You can worry about the clothes your master wears. If you search the entire fortress, there is nothing he can wear. He found a long gun and he could only use it as a short spear, and the quartermaster was going crazy—big man, how did you grow so big? I used to think that my body was big enough."
The big fool had almost eaten half of the pot of soup and rice at this moment, and he raised his head and smiled when he heard the words: "Eat more, fight with bears, and you will grow taller."
Joseph touched his chin and thought for a while: "The first one is easy to say, but the latter one is a bit uncertain."
While everyone was chatting and laughing while eating, the whole restaurant suddenly fell silent.
This situation came very suddenly. One second ago, the small restaurant was full of bragging and laughing from mercenaries and soldiers, but the next second, needles could be heard around. Those who were busy just now The faces of the diners chatting nonsense were frozen on the spot with emotions that had not yet completely faded away, as if a gust of petrified wind had blown by in an instant. breath, so that no one dared to speak for a while.
Except for the few of us—Qianqian continued to study the order in which to eat the bowl of stew in front of me to be delicious, Lin Xue continued to slowly pick out the things she didn’t like to eat into my bowl, Pandora and Viska were like double images He quickly wiped out the food in front of him with highly synchronized movements, while Bingtis rapped on the table vigorously, talking to the trio of iron knights (these three were also stupefied): "What's the matter with you? Are you stupid?"
"You don't feel it?" Joe, who usually doesn't talk much, looked at us like a monster, "Hey, why are you acting like nothing?!"
"What happened?" Qianqian noticed that the surrounding atmosphere was not right at this time, raised her head and looked around foolishly, "I didn't stop the time... Oh, it really didn't stop, the man blinked just now."
At this time, the weird "wind of tranquility" seemed to have finally passed, and the diners in the restaurant gradually regained their vitality as if they had just survived the earthquake. Many people were panting for breath, and then chatted in low voices. , everyone's voice is much lower than before, as if that palpitating invisible thing is still entrenched here, and the lingering power is still there.
The few of us have been completely confused, and I even suspect that there was a female version of Stallone that only the locals could see just now, running around naked in this place, and finally Lin Xue raised her head and said: "You want to say Long Wei, right? .”
"Oh, it seems that you feel it. I thought there was someone who could be immune to the oppressive force just like the legendary hero," Joseph said, patting his chest, his intentionally thick voice seemed to be Embolden yourself, "Then why don't you feel nervous at all? Oh, I see... You are in a good mood."
I turned my head slightly to look at Miss Lin, and asked in the spiritual connection: "Longwei? What's going on?"
The eldest lady nodded indiscernibly: "Just now there was a burst of coercion coming down from the mountain, but I didn't actually feel it. I used my ability to directly observe the 'truth' to know what happened."
"Oh, no wonder I didn't feel it," Bingtis listened in on the spiritual connection, and at this moment suddenly realized, "That thing only takes effect on the basis of personality, and it is effective for creatures that are lower than you on the life ladder , completely ineffective against things higher than ourselves—we just go down the void ladder and ignore these things."
At this time, the trio of Iron Knights had already got together to discuss nervously, and Elf Joe, who was always calm, was also a little surprised now: "Do you think this is the one who came..."
"I heard that too," Joseph replied in a dazed manner, "Lord Sonia has arrived, do we have a chance to meet the dragon this time?"
The big fool scratched his hair and asked in a rough voice, "Who are you talking about?"
"Dragon!" Joseph's expression was solemn, "The oldest and only ancient dragon with pure blood in the world, she rarely appears in front of the world, but she will definitely be present for matters related to An Yue. We got news a while ago that She's coming to Northhold..."
Bingtis' eyes suddenly flickered: "Gu Long, how old is it?"
"It is said that it existed before the first war, and the Dragon Clan participated in the war under her leadership." Anna looked at us with a little curiosity, "You don't know this? Legendary creatures, I have heard these stories for a long time when I was young. big."
Dragons participated in the first war, of course we know this, it was mentioned in the Goddess Bible, and this group of mysterious creatures will appear in every war, so although dragons always act independently, but It can also be regarded as a member of the coalition of the people on the ground. It's just that the Bible didn't say that there is still an ancient dragon that has lived until now!
Presumably that dragon is already an immortal creature in this world.
"Let's go and have a look," Bingtis suddenly said in the spiritual connection, "I know where the dragon is... Tch, I didn't notice it before, Chen, you've seen her before."
I was confused, but I was dragged up by Bingtis before I had time to ask. Everyone hurriedly said goodbye to the trio of Iron Knights and the idiot, and then went directly to the garrison of the church directly under the highest level of the fortress. The church army from the local area is stationed outside the fortress like the second-line corps, but the imperial church army directly led by the pope is stationed at the top level like the national knights. The upper area is heavily guarded, and mercenaries are strictly prohibited from entering and leaving. Of course, this is meaningless to us. Qianqian set a certain time, and everyone went up with a big swagger...
A group of people came to the fortress headquarters near the top of the mountain. This is a stone building that is almost half embedded in the hard rock. The part of it in the mountain may be directly hollowed out of the rock. We opened the invisibility field and entered this stone fortress very easily. Bingtis' louse spirit never knew which corner came out to lead the way, and led everyone to the combat conference room.
The reason why I know this is the combat conference room is because not only the tactical map around the Longbridge Mountain Range is hung in this large brightly lit room, but there is also a magic device in the center of the room that looks like a projection sand table, and more importantly— There's a sign on the wall...
The guards here should have all been screened back, and the door of the room was also closed tightly. After we walked in through the wall, we saw that there were only two people in the huge combat conference room, one of them was an old man in a purple gown with gold trim, beard and hair. Jiebai, very thin, but very energetic, he stood by the big table, his face seemed very excited, Bingtis casually pointed to the old man: "See, that's the Pope."
Standing in front of the Pope was a tall and slender woman. She was wearing an ordinary dark leather armor, with short white hair, a slightly pale complexion, strange lavender lips, and a pair of vertical purple pupils. ... Isn't this the facial paralyzed lady I met when I woke up early!
"See, that's a dragon." Bingtis pointed at the woman and said.
"I'm going! It turns out that she is a dragon, and I didn't recognize it when she turned into a human." I scratched my hair, "Why did such a legendary creature spend the night in a tent in a mercenary camp? She also experienced life like us here?"
"The concubine didn't see it either, um, I probably didn't pay attention to it, in fact, as long as I distinguish it a little bit, I should have noticed what her body is, but who would have thought that I would meet such a person in the mercenary camp at that time," Bing Di said. As he spoke, Si snorted through his nose, "Forget it, let's just be quiet and listen to the two of them arguing."
That's right, the atmosphere between the old pope and the oldest female dragon king is not good. Thinking about the demonstration of Long Wei just now, it is obvious that the two are having conflicts. They maintain a stiff silent atmosphere, and they don't know Uninvited guests standing a few meters away are watching him. The old man was the first to break the silence. He tapped his tin stick on the flagstone floor: "Sonia, you are embarrassing me."
"I've been in trouble for thousands of years," the voice of the white-haired female dragon king sounded without any emotional fluctuations. Although she was complaining, she couldn't even hear anger. She seemed to be stating the facts, "I need to go to the moon Come on, talk to the people over there."
The old Pope spread his hands: "The Lord Dark Moon may still be in a deep sleep period, and Princess Blood is in charge in the Moon Palace. Who do you think you can talk to? And when Lord Dark Moon wakes up, the war will officially begin. It's useless for you to go up."
"Then I'll wake up that guy in advance. It's not an option for him to go on in circles like this. What we discussed at the beginning still seems to be problematic-you have reincarnated dozens of times, and you also know that this world is getting worse and worse. Worse, the power of artifacts is weaker than that of demons, and this cannot be compensated by the efforts of mortals."
"So you really don't intend to come according to the ancient agreement," the old Pope paused the tin rod in his hand, "But even if I nod, so what can you do, you know that the Gemini teleportation station was locked by the four of us back then. Yes, before the official connection, if you want to activate it in advance, you must have more than three people to open the door, and now that the Dark Moon Lord is sleeping, it is impossible for Princess Blood to listen to you—how did you get there?"
The few of us who listened to it were stunned for a while! RS
