The riding and chopping simulator of the Lord of the Rings

Chapter 252 Hero Badge
The bright light passed through the wooden windows on the stone wall, illuminating the randomly placed tables and chairs in the house. Perhaps they were indeed neat at first, but with the gradually reckless actions of the guests due to drunkenness, they soon disappeared. It lost its original appearance.

"Three, three, three, it's really three, hurry up, give me the money!!"

The drinkers who played poker together often shouted excitedly. They are now playing blackjack.

This is a new way of playing from other continents. As the owner of the Happy Wild Boar Tavern, Su Ke, he noticed its popularity at the first time, prepared some props early on, and familiarized himself with the rules. A gaming table was set up, and his attendant played the role of croupier.

At this time, the boss is far from realizing how much wealth this thing will bring to the tavern. Now, all he wants is the guests and the profit from selling alcohol.

Therefore, Su Ke didn't pay too much attention to the gambling table, but turned his gaze to a table in the southeast corner of the room, where two acquaintances of his were sitting, one of whom was in Zenda and could even be said to be Man of the hour.

"I met Gayev when I was exploring the ruins near Sharpest. I think you should know that place too. The elders of the village mentioned to me that a group of mercenaries saved their village. I heard the description should be you Doing good deeds, not everyone is willing to help others without getting paid."

Hearing Dantes say Sharpster's name, Alan and Momocha glanced at each other, nodded slightly, and acquiesced to Dantes' statement.

Of course Alan is familiar with this place. He killed a whole group of Druya ​​soldiers there, and also got a lot of wealth and a flashing gem called "The Favor of the Sky".

"Originally, I got a clue, saying that there were treasures and wealth left by the brave in the past in the ruins, so I led the team to explore, but obviously I was a step too late. If I guessed correctly, it should be You took the treasure there, didn't you?"

Dantes, who was talking, looked down at the star horn in his hand, and there was no trace of annoyance on his face, but a look of curiosity and fear.

"I found that there were a lot of corpses left there, even the bones of trolls. If I went there, I would probably die at the hands of that horrible monster, and my friends and subordinates would also be implicated. Speaking of these I'm afraid I should thank you more, I suppose you had a great battle?"

Faced with the young man's question, Allen did not deny that he had obtained the treasure, but he did not mention the battle too much, but simply described the situation at that time, and told Dantis that the star horn in his hand was indeed Obtained from that relic.

"That's right, I think Gayev also went to find the treasure, but he didn't meet you, but he seized the opportunity to confuse me, maybe because of the hero badge, he misunderstood that I was the legendary brave man. "

Speaking of which, Dantes took off the gold badge and pushed it in front of Allen, and said again in a tone of reminiscence: "This badge is a trophy I got by accident after defeating a team of pirates, Earl Alasis told me , This is the treasure once worn by God King Leon, but after experiencing this encounter, I think its owner should be you."

After saying these words, Dantès showed a relaxed look on his face. Ever since he got the badge, he felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

The count told him that this badge might be a call for disaster, but the five kings on this continent didn't care about the warning they gave at all. They were either obsessed with hunting and banquets or thinking of ways to provoke war with neighboring countries.

Dantès felt that this continent would end sooner or later, and he himself was controlled by the enemy casually. If Master Allen hadn't happened to meet him, he might believe in the Lord of Darkness. fate.

Now, this blond young man already has the idea of ​​picking someone up. Since there is someone who is more suitable than himself, why bother to take on this responsibility? Perhaps it is also a good choice to be a partner by the brave man, and it can also contribute to this film. Do your part for the safety of the mainland.

Looking at the gold badge pushed in front of him, Alan showed a playful expression on his face. He did not expect such a plot development.

Allen thought that he might be the young man's teacher, military adviser or ally, help Dantis grow up as an elder, and resist the invasion of the Druya ​​Order with him in the future, until the mainland Restoration of stability.

This is also a matter of no choice. Who told him to take away the horn of stars and three gemstones with special power? The current Dantes alone may not be able to do anything, so he can only watch helplessly. Powerless as the flames of war rise.

But directly becoming the protagonist and taking on the task of saving the world is a path that Allen has never thought of, because compared to this script, his current identity will not be recognized by certain existences.

This is especially true for Allen himself. Sooner or later, this identity will be given up and exchanged for some soldiers or something.

Unless, in this world, Allen also becomes the king of a country.

"There is no need to be frustrated by the cunning of the enemy. Maybe there are no brave men in our era, or maybe everyone can become a brave man. Why should you give up this opportunity to leave your name in the long river of time?"

While talking, Allen picked up the hero badge on the table and put it on Dantes' chest again, even if the system gave a prompt.

[Hero Badge: This golden badge engraved with ancient characters exudes a mysterious brilliance. It has the effect of increasing the charm of the wearer, and can arouse the desire of the subordinates to fight, making their morale higher. If you collect all five gems, you can Unlock godlike powers. 】

[Consuming the hero badge, you can more easily control the abilities obtained through gems, and at the same time, after consuming five gems, your life form will be changed and you will become a higher-level existence. 】

"My ultimate goal has never been to drive away those believers of the Dark Lord. They just ignited this chaotic continent. Driving them away will not solve any problems. My idea is to end The division of the mainland, the establishment of a country where there is no war and everyone can live in peace, this is the real end of chaos." If you want, you can help me. "

While talking, Allen had already finished the work at hand, firmly put the golden badge on Dantes' chest, and patted the young man on the shoulder.

"Come and help me if you want."

Allen naturally had his own concerns about doing this, no matter what Dantès thought, since the golden badge had been delivered to this young man, it was God's will in the dark.

This continent, like Middle Earth, has gods, and it is different from those Valars who nest in Valinor and don't care about things. The gods here have their own ideas, and Alan can't guarantee whether he is favored. .

Although Allen himself has obtained part of the powerful power that belongs to this world, those are basically obtained through his own efforts.

Even the fire stone was the loot obtained by Alan who drove away Gayev and rescued Dantes with one knife. In his opinion, it was something obtained through normal means, even those gods might There is no way to object.

As for the gold badge in front of him, Allen had some concerns. On the one hand, he didn't want to easily take the spoils belonging to this young man from Dantes' hands like this, which was not in line with his character.

Not getting paid for nothing, or Allen felt that his help to Dantès was not as valuable as the gold badge, which was unfair to the young people in front of him.

On the other hand, Allen was also worried that after he took the gold badge in this way, some dissatisfied god would whisper into his ear when he was sleeping at night. Who could bear it?
Therefore, Allen finally chose to return the gold badge to Dantes. After all, after the matter of the Druya ​​sect was settled, he still had a chance to exchange it with territory, wealth, and even everything Dantes wanted. This medal, not the current situation of taking advantage of others.

As for the invitation to Dantis, Alan is also sincere. He can find not many excellent subordinates on this continent, and now this status is not a nobleman, so there is no team provided by the family.

Therefore, no matter how you look at the young man Dantes, it is a good choice for Allen.

Things may not be needed for the time being, but Allen still wants them.

However, Dantes, who was born in a commoner family, did not have such lofty goals as Allen, at least not now. Being able to destroy the plan of the Druya ​​sect is Dantes' biggest goal at this time.

"If you don't dislike it, of course I am willing to follow you."

Touching the badge on his chest, Dantes stood up excitedly. Allen's reputation is extremely high in the entire Zenda City, and he has an excellent reputation.

As an upright and kind-hearted young man, Dantès is naturally willing to follow such a leader, not to mention that with Alan taking on the task of saving the world, the burden on his shoulders is much lighter. You need to worry about whether your decisions will kill your friends and subordinates.

It's just that Dantès, who was born in a humble family, didn't know the etiquette of nobles, and he didn't know whether he should kneel or salute when he pledged his allegiance, so he froze in place for a while.

Allen stood up immediately, and pushed the excited young man back to his seat. This is a crowded tavern, and it is the territory of Earl Arassis. You can't hold a ceremony of allegiance here, right? He doesn't even have a village now.

"Don't be so excited, we are just ordinary mercenaries now, neither noble nor particular."

After speaking, Allen picked up the pottery flagon next to him and poured a glass of wine for Dantès. If possible, Allen would never choose beer. In his opinion, it is not delicious and full of stomach.

"Your name has been proclaimed from Jelkala of Rhodok to Wocheze of Nord. This is not something that ordinary mercenaries can do. What's more, I have seen your strength with my own eyes. Now, I just want to know what your next plan is? Is it to hunt down more and more dark knights on the continent?"

Allen didn't go after the dark knights who were gradually active on the mainland because of Dantes' flattery. Now he has other more important things to do.

"No, no, now is not the time to hunt these dark believers, Dantès, I need you to do something tomorrow, something that is very, very important to you and me?"

Hearing that there was an important task, Dantès' eyes lit up. Compared to making a decision by himself, he actually preferred the feeling now. Someone pointed out the direction, and he only needed to complete it. This kind of thing It sounds much simpler.

"Whatever, I will prepare right away."

"I have prepared the necessary items. You just need to pass back and forth on the bridge outside Zenda. When there is any abnormal situation, you don't need to panic. Just follow your heart. Just answer the questions and trust me, it's not that hard to do."

Hearing Alan's answer, the puzzled expression on Dantes' face became more serious.

In the early morning of the next day, a cavalry team of hundreds of people appeared on a stone bridge dozens of kilometers west of Zenda.

There is no relevant record of when this bridge spanning the Yu River, the Kingdom of Vaegia and the Kingdom of Nord was built, but the residents living around and the caravans traveling between the two places know one thing .

That is, for hundreds of years, no matter how fast and fierce the current of the You River is, this historic stone bridge has never had any problems, and there has been no record of repairs until now. Everyone says that the stone bridge has God's blessing.

And this cavalry team of hundreds of people seemed to be testing the strength of the bridge. From morning to afternoon, they went back and forth to and from the banks of the You River several times.

Some passing caravans even put on a posture of facing the enemy. Their leaders thought that these mercenaries were investigating the situation, and they might attack the caravan at any time because of the goods on the carriage.

And this situation continued until with a "plop", an iron shield tied to the saddle suddenly slipped and fell into the river, and the cavalry team occupying the bridge stopped.

Afterwards, the light of gold and silver flickered on the surface of the turbulent river, gradually forming a slowly rotating vortex. This miraculous scene instantly attracted the attention of everyone present.

And a blond woman in white with hazy complexion rose slowly from the vortex, holding a golden shield and a silver shield in her hand, and said to the stunned Dantis.

"Excuse me, did you drop this golden shield or this silver shield?"
