Arcane Linguist

Chapter 140 Invading the Dreamland
Under Puglia's gaze, a few cowering kobolds walked in the bushes beside them.

These short humanoid creatures were dressed in ragged clothes, ragged clothes or grass leaf skirts that they did not know from which unlucky adventurers, and fell to their knees tremblingly.

"Your Majesty the Great Queen, your subjects have come to obey you."

Trina chanted a spell, and the "Eye of Mystery" with the "Delay" supermagic feat was activated, and a magic power turned into an invisible eye floated above the opponent's head.

"The queen's 'guest' is coming, go, bring him here!"

……

On the other side, Roland had already left Loon City according to the instructions in the email.

He seemed to follow the robber's instructions to venture alone, and soon crossed the suburbs in the south of the city and stepped into the forest.

Long vines and broad leaves can be seen everywhere in this land, and the sunlight casts mottled light and shadow through the gaps between the branches.

Towering trees and lush shrubs are intertwined to form a green world.

Roland didn't quite adapt to the environment here. Fortunately, before he left the city, the members of the Mage Guild blessed him with the buff spells of tolerance to the environment and speed, which made him able to act like a forest citizen even if he was a weak mage. Running fast and tireless.

After a while, he climbed over several hills and came to the agreed place.

To his surprise, there was already a group of kobolds waiting here.

"Wow, ho ho!"

They were roaring in half-baked dragon language, making inexplicable and strange noises.

A kobold warlock who looked rather burly, but was about the size of a half-grown boy in the eyes of humans, stood up and said, "Humans, come with us!"

Roland knew that the Dragon Clan could easily control these ordinary mobs with monster attributes. In the multiverse and the different worlds of the planes, kobolds and the like were like fleas on beggars, and they couldn't be cleaned up no matter what.

In the mountains and forests of the city of Loon, there lived some kobolds, and they were randomly recruited by Trina passing by to serve as temporary subordinates, which was nothing more than normal.

But for some reason, he always felt that someone was hiding in the dark and observing him.

Perhaps the intention of the other party is to let these kobolds come out to explore the way.

If you bring some powerful alchemy props or magic equipment, or follow someone secretly behind, these kobolds will immediately turn into cannon fodder and try them out.

Roland didn't make any moves that might misunderstand the other party, and obediently moved forward under the threat of a group of kobolds.

The place where Trina was hiding was not far from this place, and it took about ten minutes to walk there.

Seeing the figure of the green-haired female elf transformed into by the other party, Roland was not surprised at all because he was prepared, but Trina's eyes sharpened, and there seemed to be excitement in her expression.

"Bah..." Puglia spat out the grass she had been holding in her mouth, and shouted, "Roland, run! Her real target is you!"

"Senior Puglia, don't worry, I know her target is me."

Roland waved his hand, unhurriedly took out a big bag from the dimension bag, and spread it out 30 meters away from Trina II.

All of a sudden, all kinds of gemstones shone brightly in the evening sun, red, green, blue, yellow, each with different colors and sizes, but they were equally shining , dizzying.

Accompanied by the sound of a group of kobolds swallowing saliva and whispering, the smell of money permeated the surroundings if it had any substance.

Trina couldn't help changing her expression.

Too much, too much!
More than [-] gold coins, exchanged for copper dollars, is a large wealth of hundreds of millions.

A stack of gold coins and gold bars would require more than a dozen large treasure chests to hold them.

For the convenience of raising and carrying, Roland brought a lot of gems here. The overall impact is not inferior to gold. As long as it is an intelligent creature that can identify and judge the value of these gems, it will feel the shock brought by large sums of money.

"Trina, I have already brought the ransom you asked for as promised, let Senior Pulia go."

Money is sometimes a source of confidence. Taking advantage of the impact of this large amount of wealth, Roland put forward his own request.

"Of course, I don't need to embarrass this human being."

Trina chuckled and waved her hand.

In the bushes behind the big tree, several kobolds who were ambushing inside came out and began to untie Pulia.

"Stand back now and leave that pile of gems. I want to see if there are any magical traps inside."

"It's not necessary at all. I, Roland, firmly believe in a saying that those who know the current affairs are the best. In the current situation, it is much more cost-effective to pay the ransom to save people than to have side effects."

Roland stepped back with his hands raised, and said with a bit of helplessness on his face.

"Don't come here, there are so many planes and worlds, who doesn't know that you humans are the most insidious, despicable, and shameless!" Roland didn't mention this, but when he mentioned it, the green dragon Trina couldn't help but jump, "especially It's you, a nasty guy, who defrauded me of 1 gold coins!"

"Cuihua, back then you rushed to buy and sell by yourself, and I didn't take the initiative to hook you!"

Roland argued.

"If you slander people so out of thin air, don't listen to the inside story and think I'm a bad person!"

Trina concluded that this incident seemed to be caused by her own initiative to come to the door and force Roland to make a deal.

The lawful and evil dragon knew that this matter was really a mess, so he turned hard and said arrogantly: "I don't care, it's all your fault anyway!"

While talking, I have come into contact with those gems.

Roland took advantage of the opponent's appraisal and signaled Puglia to run.

But she didn't want to, Trina suddenly dropped those gems and rushed towards herself.

Trina in the form of an elf seems to have a profession like a warrior, and her actions are as fast as the wind. Even though Roland has received the blessing of the dream fairy and has extremely sensitive perception, he was bullied just by sensing the slightest sign that the other party wanted to do something. in front of you.

The strong and strong arms clamped down on Roland, and in the blink of an eye, a dagger drawn out from nowhere reached his neck.

"Don't move, or I just need to use a little force, and I will wipe off your neck like bean sprouts!"

Trina triumphantly said to Puglia who was stunned.

"What are you still doing in a daze, report back and ask someone to send another 100 million to redeem him! Hahahaha!"

I was careless, careless!

I didn't prepare "Blink"!
Roland was in a daze for a moment, and couldn't help raising his evaluation of the green dragon Trina's skill again.

Female elves in a deformed state are limited by their size and species, so they do not belong to high-end force.

But careers changed all that.

This is as if human beings are a very common species, but the gap between ordinary people and high-level professionals is worlds apart.

As a female elf, she probably has a part-time job such as a rogue or a ranger, and her agility is so fast that he can't react.

Roland estimated the consequences of secretly casting a spell and being detected and interrupted by the other party, and immediately gave up the plan.

But even so, he didn't look panicked at all.

"Senior Puglia, do as she tells you."

"Ro... Roland..."

Puglia was a little hesitant, and it would be too dishonest to just abandon Roland and go back to report the letter.

However, the kobold didn't give him much chance to think, and pushed him out in the blink of an eye.

Trina growled excitedly, and transformed into a green dragon.

The huge dragon grabbed Roland, rolled up the gems on the ground, packed them up, and flew high with wings.

"Roland!" Puglia yelled in a hurry.

After a while, the green dragon and Roland turned into a small dot and disappeared into the forest among the distant mountains.

……

The green dragon Trina flew for a long time, feeling that she had already traveled hundreds of kilometers away from the city of Rune, and then slowly stopped.

At this time, it was already dusk, and the forest was shrouded in darkness, leaving only a little illumination brought by the quiet moonlight.

Trina picked an open space that looked clean and landed, and threw Roland aside, laughing triumphantly.

"Boy, you have today too!"

With great difficulty, Roland managed to stabilize his figure and get up. Hearing this, he couldn't help shaking his head.

"Cuihua, let me tell you that you are begging for food with a golden rice bowl, and you have narrowed the road by yourself."

"What did you say?" Trina poked her head fiercely.

"What I mean is that you deserve a better life, you don't have to be on the move all the time, you don't have a fixed place, you don't have to hide all day long, and you work hard to get a few meals of meat.

I think it's good, you just accept my employment and become my personal bodyguard.

How about an annual salary of 1 gold coins at your high level? "

"Hahahaha, Roland, you're playing tricks on me!" The green dragon Trina's eyes flashed with pride, and the dragon's roar shook all directions.

"I've tied you up now and asked for 100 million directly. Why do I have to work hard for you for 100 years?"

"The asking price is the asking price. It doesn't mean that you can really get so much. Have you ever thought that if you really spend so much money, it will be enough to hire a dragon slaying team."

"Are you threatening me?" Green Dragon Trina bared her teeth.

"I'm not threatening you, but stating objective facts.

Think about it, what is the Alteraine? This is a high-magic civilization, not a backcountry where just a giant dragon can walk sideways.

I, Roland, am not a great person, but I am still a part of the arcanist system. Regardless of my teacher, my relatives and friends, the Arcane Committee alone will not easily accept your kidnapping. The crime of extortion!
If you really want to drive them into a hurry, send a few more archmages to encircle and suppress them, and you won't be able to escape! "

The green dragon Trina's eyes were uncertain, and she obviously understood that what Roland said was true.

"And if I accept employment, it is a legal income. I can even use my identity to obtain permission to freely enter and exit in Arterine, and enjoy all the achievements of magic society including the magic net openly."

"You don't have the right to tell me these things. Do you really think you can fool the Queen by just playing tricks?"

The green dragon Trina interrupted Roland viciously.

She had to admit that what Roland said had some truth, but considering Roland's current situation and strength, he was not qualified to play tricks like a glib tongue.

In the world of sword and magic, only strength is the truth!

The huge dragon claw stretched out and pointed at Roland.

"Hand over all your treasures!"

Roland quickly untied the dimensional bag from his waist and threw it on the ground.

Trina didn't look at the dimension bag immediately, but turned her attention to his left hand.

"Where's your ring?"

"Of course it's at home. Could it be that you took it with you and robbed it?"

Trina's eyes widened suddenly, she grabbed the small dimension bag with her dragon claws, and poured out the contents.

As a result, there was nothing in it.

"How did this happen! Did you empty out all the contents in advance?"

"Ah, to be precise, the entire bag was borrowed temporarily. My own dimensional bag is worth tens of thousands. This one is much cheaper, only 2000. If you want it, I can give it to you."

Roland was very single, so he dug into his own pocket.

"But other than that, I really don't have any cents, and I'm heavily in debt now. I even borrowed the money for Senior Pulia..."

He tried to explain to the green dragon the rules of the financial game in human society, proving that he is now a poor young man with zero capital except ability.

Trina went crazy: "Human beings are really despicable and shameless! I knew that you wouldn't obediently hand over the gold coins!"

"What kind of gangster logic is this? Is it mean and shameless to lay out in advance?"

Roland couldn't help laughing, as expected of a magical creature still in the wild age, lacking in sociality.

But at this moment, his figure flashed suddenly, but he finally found the opportunity to cast the "Any Door" and teleported himself a hundred feet away.

This is one of the mage's three tricks, "run away if you can't beat it".

Facing such an angry female dragon, he didn't have the slightest plan to try him out.

Trina turned around and was about to pursue, when she suddenly saw a hazy figure flashing from a nearby tree.

Orvisto was wearing the robes of the archmage, holding a long battle staff in his hand, full of jewels, and the magic equipment exuded a strong aura.

"Why is he here?"

After studying Roland, Trina naturally knew who Orvisto was, and seeing this, she couldn't help but panic.

After Orvisto appeared, the first action was not to attack, but to wave his left hand to summon a magic book suspended in the air.

The heavy book is automatically opened and positioned on one of the pages.

A complicated magic circle appeared out of thin air, and a series of golden runes, with a somewhat hollowed-out elf cursive font feeling, gave people an incomparably gorgeous impression.

This is the original secret method created by Orvisto, and the most important arcane achievement poured out of his life--Ovisto Rune!
Similar to the Iser rune having the power of dreams, this special rune also has its own power.

That is the power of law that has touched the legendary realm, the power to master time, space and summoning.

Accompanied by the emergence of the magic circle, faint blue rays of light spread from both sides, forming a long and narrow high door.

A portal that connects to other worlds and summons allies.

"Come out, Cimejes!"

Orvisto shouted loudly, and a heroic warrior on a strong black horse galloped forward and rushed out.

The green dragon Trina took a deep breath, and spit it out like a torrent of miserable green poisonous miasma.

The surging dragon's breath formed a terrifying death zone mixed with strong acid and poison dozens of feet around. The surrounding snakes, insects, rats and ants died quickly, and the flowers, plants and trees quickly withered and scorched, shrinking into a ball.

But soon, she found that Orvisto was missing from her dragon breath.

The archmage activated the spell "Anywhere Door" attached to the equipment at some point, and shuttled to the other side to hide.

The black horse knight he summoned, Simonli, raised his spear and charged.

Although the dragon form has wings, it is actually a very heavy fleshy wing. Usually flying is more about gliding, and the real power is mostly with the power of magic.

This made Trina unable to jump off in time, and was actually pierced into her body by the spear.

It was unknown what special material the weapon was made of. It easily shattered the scales and pierced through the flesh, causing huge damage.

Trina was about to struggle just now, but she saw waves of magical energy coming from the carrier.

"Sign of Pain"!
"Emblem of Weakness"!
"Emblem of Shock"!
"Emblem of Fear"!
She roared and struggled, in pain and fear, only felt that the small wound had turned into a terrible wound that would take her life, and couldn't help shivering.

In a trance, the cage-shaped force field condensed and formed from all around, and the whole body was firmly bound.

This is the level 7 evocation spell "Force Prison"!
"Caught her?"

Roland hid in the distance, watching this scene.

It turned out that while Trina was struggling and howling, her figure gradually became hazy.

A faint fluorescent light similar to fireflies emitting in the night sky lit up, and the whole body was turning into a dreamlike phantom.

Orvisto frowned, and the summoned ally Simonli seemed to sense his intentions, and tried his best to stab him again.

But he was in vain, and Trina's figure had already disappeared from the force field.

She turned into bits of brilliance and dissipated in the cage formed by the force field out of thin air.

"What kind of power is this? Invisibility, teleportation, or... that kind of dream spell?"

Roland came out, carefully avoiding the area shrouded in poisonous fog, and asked his teacher.

"It should be that kind of spell! It is related to the existence of the god level, and it is really not easy to deal with!"

"Reversing all disadvantages?"

Roland sighed.

"To be honest, I really want to catch her, persuade her, and turn an enemy into a friend.

Unexpectedly, the teacher personally took action, but let her run away. I don't know if the next time we meet, he will directly kill her. "

Orvisto didn't take it seriously: "Although this kind of power is difficult to deal with, it is absolutely impossible to be flawless, and the biggest possibility is that it can only be used once for a period of time.

She moved around blatantly, and never dared to commit crimes one after another.

I guess she uses this method to escape, there is a certain time interval, she has been marked in advance in the previous battle, as long as we find it before the recovery can be used, we win. "

Hearing this, Roland couldn't help being surprised and said, "The teacher marked her?"

"That's right, on the side of the gem, we didn't do anything, and used the "item location technique", because the giant dragon values ​​things like property and is also very vigilant, but on her, the "object positioning technique" cast during the battle" Biolocation" is not so easy to spot. "

While speaking, he safely entered a state of concentration, trying to sense the direction of the target guided by the positioning technique.

As a result, he soon revealed a somewhat dignified expression.

"Even the biolocation technique can't detect it? They were all cleared?"

"Then what should we do? In this world, there has always been only a thousand days to be a thief, and there is no reason for a thousand days to guard against a thief. From an economic point of view, it is completely incompatible."

"If it doesn't work, I can only apply to the Arcane Committee to mobilize powers such as artifacts or legendary powerhouses."

The background of Yatrein is very powerful, not to mention Tinyara's divine power, even Tinyara himself was once driven away from the Kingdom of Leiner.

The only question is whether you are willing to pay the price.

After discussing with Orvisto, Roland decided to frighten Trina first and force her out of this world.

Trina also needs to pay a certain price for doing things. The risks she takes and the benefits she gets determine whether this behavior can continue.

However, the racial characteristics of the green dragon are clear, and there was a record of spending decades waiting for opportunities to loot the enemy.

This kind of mind and vengeance is not generally difficult to deal with.

After a while, Roland found the gem that Trina dropped from the battle field, and couldn't help but look weird.

"My God, I really want to give this money to her to appease my grievances.

I thought that after she got the 11 yuan, she should accept it as soon as she got it, but she didn't expect that she couldn't keep it in a hurry. "

The strategy of slapping a sweet date with a slap in the face was completely bankrupt.

……

After returning, it was already late at night.

Puglia arrived safely in the city of Loon, and was picked up by members of the Mage Guild and protected.

When Orvisto sent Roland back with him, the vigilance was also lifted, and the defense was turned into a state of loosening on the outside and tightening on the inside.

Orvisto told everyone the final result, and now he can only let the people of Loon City take care of it and take precautions.

There is no need to worry about the mage tower.

In the middle of the night, Roland stayed in the building provided by the Mage Guild. In order to guard against the possible dream invasion, he specially prepared an environment without vegetation or other transmission media.

As a result, what he didn't expect was that just after falling asleep, he sensed something strange in his dream world.

A giant dragon inexplicably appeared in the mine that manifested.

"Hahahaha, Roland, didn't you think of that?"

The green dragon Trina roared, her voice full of complacency.

"What I have is the magic of "Dream Walker"!In the dream, I am an invincible existence!
Obediently offer your treasure and your knees to the great Queen Trina Yu Wallis Tinyara! "

Roland was surprised at first, then stunned, and then saw that the vast divine power enveloped his dream, and a strange force distorted the entire spiritual world.
