Before ascending to God, be a good lord

In the early morning of the 13th, in an inconspicuous residence outside Dragon Tooth City, Horn Drizzt woke up tiredly in the bedroom.

"Toss, you bastard! What kind of daughter did you cultivate? Didn't you say that she is your future backup body? How come she is protected by several righteous gods in turn!"

Horn tore off his pajamas, and clear burn marks could be seen on his chest and back, and the smell of moon magic could even be smelled on the marks.

"Fortunately, this body is of a high level, otherwise I would have been burned by Zhengshen three times in one night, and I would have been dead long ago!"

Thinking of last night's experience, Horn still has lingering fears.

While searching for the Southeastern Witch yesterday afternoon, he suddenly met an acquaintance in the Temple of Life. Although the girl named Lili said she did not know Toss Hel, she was clearly the adopted daughter of Toss. In other words, a spare body for myself.

Ever since Hull left a message in Longya City a few years ago, saying that he was going to live on the Galloping Horse Plains for a while, his friend and foe had completely disappeared.

Although Horn often pays attention to the news on the Galloping Horse Plains, he has never been able to find any trace of his old friend.

Finally yesterday, he discovered that the girl named Lili not only inherited most of Toss's strength, but had even reached a high level. Some kind of uneasy speculation arose in his heart.

So last night, he disguised himself as Toss, that is, the image of Lili's father, and prepared to find out what this girl had been through in recent years.

However, it was okay not to ask. From the moment he asked her who the teacher was, he began to be burned by the power of magic. This shows that what the girl recalled involves gods. Once a demon like him wants to investigate, he will suffer Malice from the righteous god.

As a result, from the magic teacher, to the best friend, to the lord he served, he tried to get the girl's information three times, but was burned three times.

"Toss, are you going to marry your daughter directly to your majesty?" Horns said casually, but after thinking about it, he felt something was wrong. There were several places outside the city that only the two of them knew about. The resource reserve point has not been explored for several years.

"This can't go on like this. This bastard Toss knows too many secrets about the Millennium. I can't lose this opportunity!" Horn said to himself, "We still have to start with that girl. We have to find him!"

……

Imperial Capital, where the Imperial Capital Knights reside.

Shafren Helen came to his office and clicked, flipping through a few briefing papers on the table, and then went out to the sand table room.

Although in Lant's eyes, many departments of the Imperial Knights are no different from the Longtai Mountain Knights he once affiliated with. They all have a group of knights with family backgrounds but no ambitions or connections.

But in terms of specific regulations, there are still big differences between the two sides. For example, those who can be raised by the Imperial Knights must be at least high-level, and they have the highest monthly attendance frequency, as well as physical fitness, swordsmanship, riding skills and other abilities. Basic requirements.

Take Shafren for example. He comes here early every morning to chat, or goes to the training ground to exercise. At about noon, he goes to the Hall of Thousand Pagodas for lunch, and then stays in the Thousand Pagodas Hall. He stayed in the hall until after dinner before going home.

The sand table room is one of the largest rooms in the Knights, with tens of thousands of square meters of ground covered with miniature models of the imperial capital.

Nominal knights like Shafren usually do not need to patrol, but once the patrol knights require high-level support, it is time for them to earn military merit.

Therefore, going to the sand table room after midnight every day to check the day's information and chatting with colleagues is already his must-do homework.

However, today's sand table hall was different from the past. Shafren heard a burst of noise as soon as he entered the door. "Have you seen it? This is rat skin with lightning magic patterns! You can't buy such magic patterns without 200 gold coins in the imperial capital market, right?"

"You rat skin...couldn't you have painted it yourself?"

"Hey, you are also a high-level person. Can you draw one for me? Let me see if you can draw such a level 6 magic on a piece of animal skin?"

Following the sound, Shafron found that his colleagues were gathering together, and in the middle of them was a silver knight of elf descent from the royal family.

"What's going on? Wasn't this guy expelled from the Knights? Why did he come back again?" Shafron recognized the knight as Maurice Laurel Augustus, the fifth generation grandson of the God Emperor.

This Maurice reached the rank of Grand Knight 200 years ago. He was promoted to a first-class baron in the Imperial Knights, but he could not get promoted because he was addicted to novels. Finally, he was expelled from the Imperial Knights because he was absent from work for 10 years. Of course, he was actually replaced by another royal elf knight.

As a result, such a high knight who had stayed at home for 10 years followed Yavini to Halkara's palace last year and made contributions in the war against the orcs: he killed several Warcraft cats and four high-level knights together. A high-level magic rat,

Not only did he achieve the rank of Viscount, but he also had opportunities such as participating in Harkara's promotion and reached a high level. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.

As a high-ranking person who also participated in the battle against the orcs, Shafron knew very well how Morris accomplished his meritorious service. In essence, they, the high-ranking people in the imperial capital in the past, followed Lant to pick up the pieces, but Morris belonged to Following the monster to pick it up made Shafron even more disdainful.

So when he saw Morris's beaming behavior in the crowd, Shafron got angry and said, "This grandson may have gotten something wrong again!"

"Ah? Shafron! You're here!" Maurice in the crowd suddenly became more excited when he saw his comrades (nominally) fighting against the orcs together, and called him, "Come and see my trophies! Here are the trophies! They are definitely rare items!”

"Sir Viscount," Shafron smiled and cheered, "Where are you going to fight again?"

"Look at this!" Morris spread the rat skin of an intermediate mouse on the ground, revealing a complete and complex lightning magic pattern. "Did you see it? This magic pattern is already comparable to that of a high-level one! This was specially chosen by me. !”

"What are you..." Shafren looked at Shupi and was speechless with envy.

"Look at this again!" After speaking, Morris took out a 3-meter-square magic pattern container from the space ring.

"Wow!"

As the container opened, all the knights exclaimed.

"Did you see it? This is an intermediate-level ghost-faced spider of the light system! It will be killed by freezing it. Even if you search all over the Central Forest, you will never see one with this appearance!"

Morris said with excitement, "Let me tell you, this one of mine has been ordered by the leader, and it will be placed in the showroom of our knights in the future! The leader said that next to this spider, I will put it The portrait must be used as proof that members of the Imperial Knights fought deep into the central forest!"

"I mean Maurice? Do you still have this spider in stock? Even a junior one is fine!"

"Do you still have lightning rats in stock? I have the hides of high-level earth-type monsters here. We can exchange them!"

As soon as Morris finished speaking, dozens of knights immediately gathered around him to ask questions, hoping to exchange for some rare items from the central forest.

However, Shafron froze on the spot and kept shouting in his heart: "It's simply unreasonable. Such a guy who has been absent from work for 10 years, who may not even be able to beat his own mount, can actually be put into the Knights showroom. !”
