Arcane Journey

Chapter 126 The Fox Walks at Dawn
The sun was like a flame, pouring down through the window lattice, "Fox Xing Dawn" cursed secretly, and quickly pulled out of the bed.

She fell asleep unknowingly, and when she thought of what she was going to do today, her stomach made a grunt, reminding her that it was time to go downstairs for dinner.

Before leaving, Moon Elf Tong Yu did not forget to tidy herself up from head to toe.

She stepped lightly down the stairs in her doe boots.

A stocky man who frequented the Skullbreaker stepped aside to make way for her, which brightened her mood.

She could feel that the other party's behavior was very particular, but maybe it was intended to please her, and the ultimate goal of Bao Buqi was to sleep with her.

But ah but. She smiled and thought: You guys should be more careful, and be careful to go out with your buttocks on the next day.

She avoided the wine table that became active immediately after she appeared, sat down at the bar, and waved to the owner.

"What would you like to order, Miss Tong?" The tavern owner nodded and bowed to please.

"Small mouth is so sweet." Tong Tong smiled and brushed a strand of black hair away from his gray eyes, "Have breakfast and a glass of wine."

"It's still on the books, right?"

She nodded, and the tavernkeeper yelled at the back kitchen, then took a glass from a stack and filled her with ale.

"I don't know if you've heard of a big event: 'Fat Catfish' Graal joined the Zhentarim Society." Hearing his tone, the tavern owner seemed a little confused about this change.

"Really?" Tong Yu gave him a playful look, and took a big gulp of wine boldly.

Of course she knew what the reason was, but of course she couldn't say it.

"Of course you are." The boss continued, "I really don't understand, since they are all seeking refuge, why not directly seek refuge in the City of Shadows, and earn a wife for that boy Lando."

Tongyu shook her head. Nothing can surprise her about an ancient dragon like 'him' who has lived for thousands of years. "The Zhentarim will control Mokou Town, so it will be difficult to do business, right?"

The boss shrugged, "At least it will be more stable than before, and businesses that don't abide by the law don't have to go underground."

He wiped the tableware and grinned happily, "It's much more comfortable than when the Kingdom of Cormyr ruled."

"I hope you will always be at ease." Tong Tong muttered meaningfully and raised his glass to toast.

At this moment, the door of this dark tavern was pushed open, and dazzling light poured in.

The moon elf blinked, and an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because the visitor was exactly what she was waiting for, a handsome half-elf mage.

His facial contours are three-dimensional and deep, with sharp edges and corners, with resolute lines like a knife and an axe. Under a pair of lightly raised sword eyebrows, his eyes are shining like obsidian stones, revealing a calm and calm light.

To be honest, if it weren't for the deep eyes that made her a little uncomfortable, he still looked quite tender. No wonder the little elf girl thought about him every day, and the moon elf showed a smirk.

Then she noticed the man following Brian.

He was wearing a worn leather jacket and trousers, and a dusty cloak. From the two strands of gray-white hair hanging down from the hood, it could be seen that this should be an old man.

However, to Tong Yun's surprise, she found that the temperament of this old man who had met her a few times had undergone a huge change. He followed Brian casually, but seemed to be able to appear instantly at any time. Sheathed sword.

Moreover, his right leg, which was sprayed by the breath of the ancient red dragon, was completely healed.

It's interesting. Tong Yun smiled playfully, and looked at a drunk not far away.

The Skullbreaker fell silent when Brian arrived.

His presence seemed out of place in a tavern full of vulgar drinkers, and no one wanted to meet his eyes.

"Go and get in touch with their leader first." Brian confessed to the old sword saint Balleris behind him:

"Remember, after seeing them, don't reveal your identity. I want to test these people. If you are not satisfied, then there is nothing to talk about. Just kill them."

Hearing the lord's understatement, Balleris felt a bit of chill. He nodded solemnly and walked towards the depths of the tavern.

Brian sat in the corner of the tavern and casually ordered a glass of wine from the waiter.

Tonight, he will have a decisive battle with the Zhentarim members, and the purpose of coming here is to contact the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Group.

He knew the virtues of this mercenary group, so he still had some confidence to subdue them.

If he gets the support of the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Group, his chances of winning tonight will be greatly improved.

When he sat down, he could clearly feel a pair of unkind eyes staring at him.

He knew it was a black shop.

In fact, seriously, the camp in Mokou Town should be considered neutral evil.

Most of the people gathered here are desert bandits, robbers and other evil people.

But he believed that these people would think carefully before provoking him.

To his surprise, a tall and strong man was an exception.

Blaine looked up and met his gaze.

The physique of this strong man is like a brown bear, which is unforgettable.

Although not many people know it, but under his uneven scarred face, there is a shrewd mind hidden, a mind that should be aware of the danger of this move.

However, poor-quality drinks doomed him, and even if a strong man could drink well, he didn't have the stomach of a dwarf.

The strong man stood up suddenly and sat down beside Brian.

During the whole process, at the end of the smoky bar, Brian clearly felt a pair of crystal gray eyes staring at him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't see the face to which the eyes were attached.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, brat." The strong man's drunken tongue was hardened, "Are you alone?"

Brian has a keen intuition for magic, but feels that he is more like being controlled by some kind of magic.

In other words, someone is provoking himself.

"Three numbers." He said coldly.

"What did you say?" The strong man froze for a moment.

"Count from three to one, shut up and leave before then." Senhan's magical flash gathered at Brian's fingertips.

"three!"

"Oh no. Just kidding!" The strong man looked startled, as if he had come to his senses, but his legs didn't seem to move at all.

"two!"

Brian ignored it.

"stop"

"one!"

A beam of icy blue and white light shot out from Brian's fingertips, wrapped in cold air, and precisely hit the strong man's knee, the bone-piercing chill was covered with a layer of crystal clear hoarfrost at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The burly man was tongue-tied, but before he could finish his sentence, he was shivering from the chill brought by the magic, clutching his knees and screaming again and again.

The drinkers looked in the direction of the two, and most of them showed fear.

"get out!"

With a push of Brian's palm, an invisible force field energy hit the strong man's chest, and fell on the nearby card table, smashing the table, and knocking cards, coins, and players away.

The drinkers glared at Brian, but he held up his finger, and they immediately looked away knowingly.

At this moment, more than a dozen people silently took out weapons from the oiled buckle, the inner lining of the boot shaft, the inner edge of the wrist, the back of the neck, and even under the loincloth.

The name Skullbreaker Tavern naturally has its origins.

Brian knew it, but he wasn't intimidated by it.

Just when he was about to start a killing spree, a delicate figure stood between him and the aggressive drinker.

Everyone stared at the intervener in unison, and all the guys in their hands were hidden back to their original positions.

Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the Skullbreaker Tavern became harmonious again.

"I can't tell, your arrogant look is quite attractive." The spoiler turned around and joked.

Brian looked up to see a mischievous smiling face.

He saw that it was a moon elf.

As if teasing him, the moon elf gracefully shifted her weight from her left leg to her right.

Brian watched the girl who appeared suddenly.

This is the most beautiful elf woman he has ever seen when he came to the main material world, even compared with the upper nobles of Yongmeet Island and the Supreme Forest.

Her smiling eyes were light gray.

As the light changes, its color seems to change constantly.

Clinging to her fair skin, her long black hair cascaded down to her waist, shining with midnight light.

She was wearing a tight white blouse with narrow sleeves, but the sleeves were black.

A leaden waistcoat was worn over her blouse, and a short crimson silk cape covered her left arm.

Her right hand, wearing a scarlet glove, rests on her hipbone.

What's more striking is that she has an awe-inspiring and confident demeanor all over her body, as if she can mess him up with just one look.

In the end, Brian found out that her figure was really nothing to say.

'Fox walks at dawn' 曈昽!
He recognized the identity of the moon elf and thought of her name.

The moon elf Tongyu is an elf shadow dancer, born on Yongju Island, and grew up in Ximen, the most prosperous trading port city on the Dragon Coast.

She is also chosen by Erevan Elathir, god of elves and half-elf rogues.

But in Brian's impression, the other party had already lived in seclusion in Waterdeep City, disguising himself as a silk merchant and fashion queen.

Why did it appear here again inexplicably?

He was a little confused about the purpose of this so-called 'mischievous adventurer' appearing in Mokou Town at this time.

"Hello." Brian didn't realize that he was a little distracted until the other party spoke, "Did you feast your eyes?"

For some reason, when Tong Yun met the other party's gaze, he always felt a little guilty, as if he had already seen through his own identity, and he couldn't help but secretly startled him.

"Thank you for your help, ma'am." Brian replied without thinking too much.

At this moment, the strong man who was hit by the "Frozen Ray" slowed down, immediately took out a machete, roared, and jumped into the air.

Brian's expression turned cold, and just as he was about to deal with it, the moon elf girl raised her left hand under the cloak.

With the sound of 'click', the strong man screamed again and again, threw away his weapon, and held the palm pierced by the crossbow.

"Fuck you." The strong man was about to yell, but suddenly he saw the moon elf girl showing a smirk. He quickly swallowed his words and rushed out of the tavern without looking back.

Brian frowned. He found that the other party's actions just now did not show any signs of trouble, and they were so fast that he couldn't even see them clearly.

The suspicion in his heart also weakened a little.

"Thanks again." Brian held out his hand and said with a smile, "Nice to meet you, my name is Brian."

"I will keep you happy forever." The moon elf shrugged and smiled, "My friends on the road call me 'Fox Xing Dawn', and I am also very glad to meet you. If you don't mind, just call me Tongyu."

"Actually, you were too happy." Brian stared at her. "To be honest, I really dislike you."

Because he had guessed that this farce was likely to come from the person in front of him.

This made him even more confused about the purpose of this strange moon elf looking for him.

"Come on." Tong Yun secretly wiped off his cold sweat and murmured in a low voice.

Then, she raised her eyebrows, raised her head to meet his gaze, stretched out her hand to brush her hair, and pretended to be disdainful:

"Are you planning to use this method to attract the attention of girls? If so, don't buy the lady a drink, considerate sir?"

Brian chuckled and waved to the waiter, who walked over hesitantly.

"I want the best elven mead." Brian didn't talk to her from the time the order was ordered until the drinks were ready.

The moon elf girl raised her glass and drank it down, then waved for a second glass.

"Look at you, you're smiling so brightly." Tong Yu put down his glass and teased, "Are you in love with me?"

"Yes, you look really sweet." Brian looked at the moon elf girl in front of him, trying to find even a slight difference from his memory.

"Oh, oh." She showed a sweet smile, "Then I have to be careful, I didn't expect you to have honey-like lips and tongue."

"Then you want to try it?" Brian challenged.

"is it okay?"

Tong looked at him openly, and eagerly said, "Why don't you go upstairs with me to my room and play a few rounds of Lafayette together? I suggest you break through from the front, because I don't like to be Attack on two wings."

After the moon elf girl finished speaking, she got up and walked over, sitting on Brian's lap provocatively, and said with a smile in her eyes, "I grew up in Ximen since I was a child, smelling like the sea, I want to sail in the sea, I just wonder if you are as hard as a mast?"

"I dare not."

Brian took her crooked little hand and laughed off her hint.

His other hand moved along her arm to her firm belly, "I'm afraid I can't afford to annoy your gods of mischief and change."

Erevan Erathir, the guardian god of elves and half-elf rogues, also known as the god of mischief and change of elves.

Brian knew that as a voter, she had an asymmetrical golden eight-pointed star tattooed on her back and a small silver fox on her belly.

If he wanted to confirm her identity, he could feel the divine power emanating from the tattoo just by touching it, which he had personally experienced.

Just when he was about to touch it, he suddenly felt the moon elf sitting on his lap holding his hand, and then dodged away like a frightened deer.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Tong Tong said with a smile: "You handsome boy are scared to death, who else will accompany me to talk about love."

Just as Brian was about to fight back, he found that Balleris had already walked over, so he put away the indecent expression on his face, ignored her, and went up to her, "How is it?"

"They agree to see you." Balleris said with a sigh of relief.

"Let's go then." Brian motioned for him to lead the way.

"Hey, where are you going?" The moon elf girl ran over and asked curiously, "Can I come with you?"

Brian frowned and looked at the other party carefully with scrutiny.

The temptation just now made him discover that there seemed to be nothing wrong with this moon elf, but as someone who had seen the real 'Fox Walking Dawn', he had a faint feeling that something was wrong.

"To tell you the truth, not only do I know that a demon believer has a relationship with the Zhentarim." Seeing the hesitant Brian, his gray eyes flashed, and he deliberately lowered his voice, and whispered, "I also asked about the Zhentarim. There is a new lord in Kou Town."

"Let's go."

Brian met the playful eyes of the moon elf girl, and beckoned her to walk into the depths of the tavern together.
