Chapter 72 "I miss you, Matthew." (Please subscribe!)

……

"What do I need to do?"

Lumière asked immediately.

The little flying mouse was very indifferent. It didn't rush to tell Lumière the content of the mission, but gently raised its slender paws, with three points of elegance and three points of domineering in its movements:
"Come to receive the power of the ceremony first, you have proved yourself to the rainforest, you deserve all of these."

talking room.

Green lights lit up on the altar under the throne.

Lumière walked over excitedly.

Groups of green light poured into the top of his head, the back of his neck, his heart, his lower abdomen, and his limbs successively.

He only felt that his originally very strong muscles became tighter, and at the same time, one new ability after another poured into his mind.

The pleasure of being filled with energy and information flow cannot be described in words.

Lumiere couldn't help but raised his head and screamed.

After a full minute.

Only then did he regain his senses, and said hoarsely to himself:
"So it is, so it is!

My legendary path has finally opened——

It's both inside and outside the rainforest! "

At this time, Lumiere looked excited, but his eyes were a little confused, obviously still digesting the huge information brought by the way of legend.

"Now, leave the rainforest, go to the Gold Coast in the south, go to Cordo City, and find a man named Matthew."

Little Momonga's cold voice sounded at this moment:
"No matter what means you use, take him into the rainforest, and let him stay in the rainforest as long as possible!"

Lumière froze for a moment.

Of course he remembered the name Matthew. Although the fight with the Tyrannosaurus a few days ago was unforgettable, he did not forget the man who brought him good luck.

He wanted to ask what the meaning of the task of Soul of the Rainforest was.

But the little flying squirrel waved its paw impatiently:

"Remember, you only need to do what you should do well, and don't ask about other things!"

Lumière frowned slightly.

He thought for a while.

In the end, he nodded slightly:
"I understand."

A bright light hit Lumiere's body, and the latter's figure gradually disappeared into the dreamland of the black banyan tree.

After a while.

Su Ya appeared beside the throne with a blank face.

Seeing the appearance of the soul of the rainforest, the little flying mouse didn't get off the throne, he just looked at Su Ya excitedly:

"Lord Su Ya, I imitated your appearance just now, how similar is it?"

Su Ya rarely boasted:
"You little flying squirrel is a bit interesting, you can imitate it just fine!
But if I hadn't been too lazy to see this guy who wasted almost ten days of me, I wouldn't allow you to sit here.

Hey, have I seen you before—

Are you that little flying squirrel who likes to brag about everything? "

There were tears in Momonga's eyes:
"You finally remember me!"

Then he proposed with great boldness:
"Why don't you go and rest, just leave it to me, I think I'm very talented in imitating the soul of the rainforest!"

Su Ya smiled coldly when she heard this.

Seeing this familiar smile, before Su Ya lifted her foot, Little Momonga climbed down from the throne neatly and pouted her buttocks:
"Take it easy this time..."

The voice did not fall.

The little flying mouse has been kicked to the sky!

……

Jolly Casino.

In the sickle's office.

Matthew quickly glanced over the data bar, and after pondering for a few seconds, he chose "No"!
"Mediation" is only one element in the field of equilibrium.

Although accidentally enough single elements have been accumulated in this way, Matthew is not prepared to "mediate" into equilibrium.

There are at least two disadvantages when a single element first enters the field:

First, the ability acquired after the first entry is highly related to a single element.

Taking Matthew as an example this time, most of the domain abilities he can acquire are related to resolving conflicts and adjusting the atmosphere. The best situation is to acquire an ability to improve eloquence.

This is not what Matthew wanted.

Second, doing so will cause Matthew to imprint the brand of "mediation" in the field of "equilibrium" prematurely, which will affect his subsequent development in the field of equilibrium.

Well known.

The first entry is important.

Only make a good impression of the field when you go in for the first time.

It will be more convenient and smooth when you go in next time.

……

"Mr. Yu Lian, I didn't think carefully about this matter. I will go back and check the situation with Lily. If it is really a misunderstanding, I will apologize to you, and I will also compensate for the money from the gate."

Bobo came to the desk with a backpack on his back and said in a low voice.

Yu Lian's desk was very high, and Matthew estimated that from his angle, only Bobo's helmet could be seen.

For some reason, he wanted to laugh when he thought of this scene.

Yu Lian looked serious:

"There is no need for compensation, Miss Artificer, as long as you promise to immediately dismantle the bomb installed in the casino, the matter between you and me will be cancelled."

Bobo tried to stand on tiptoe, trying to keep eye level with Yu Lian who was sitting on the chair. Matthew kindly handed over a chair from the side. She thanked her in a low voice, and then stood up.

This time, her aura increased a lot.

"I will compensate for what should be compensated. If you are worried about those non-existent bombs, please rest assured that I only brought one bomb today, which is in my backpack. What I said just now is to scare you. How can I May harm innocent people?"

Bobo said seriously.

"Really?"

Yu Lian had a look of disbelief.

"Is there really an artificer who brings a bomb when he goes out?"

Bobo put his hands on his chest and said condescendingly:
"I knew that people know too little about artificers, and there will always be misunderstandings of one kind or another. Do you think we are a group of guys who can only make explosions?"

Yu Lian spread his hands and lit a cigar for himself again.

Bobo looked at Matthew again.

Matthew shrugged:

"My experience is shallow, and I know very little about artificers, but I have the impression that you are indeed highly related to various bombings."

Matthew has actually said it quite euphemistically. In the literature and books he has read, artificers are usually described as walking bomb banks.

"Artificialists cannot guarantee that their armor or weapons will not explode."

This is a high-level summary of the most often quoted impression of artificers.

"Prejudice, those are prejudices!"

Bobo tried to explain:
"We also often do good things. A few years ago, the cloud elves and the sky giants fought over a ruin on the clouds, and soon formed a tug-of-war. Both sides suffered numerous casualties.

Because these two races are our neighbors—whether it is the Cloud City where the cloud elves live, or the Sky Island where the sky giants live, they are all located in the same sky as the artificer's headquarters "Cyber ​​Dragon" , but the height is different.Um, "Cyberron" is a great floating city, if you haven't heard of it, you should learn about geography.

In short, the war between the two neighbors made the artificers on Cyberron very worried, and we began to wonder if we could stop this war in our own way.

We did exactly that later on.

We found an opportunity to blow up the cause of the dispute between the two sides—the ruins on the cloud that were said to be left over from the early days of the Enlightenment Age, and it was blown up completely, without any dust left.

After this incident, the cloud elves and the sky giants never fought each other again.

Look, we artificers can still do something good. "

Behind the desk, Yu Lian silently smoked a cigar, his hands shaking violently.

Matthew rubbed his temples too:
"What about the relationship between Cyber ​​Dragon, Cloud City, and Isle of Sky?"

Bobo looked at him as it should be:
"Of course it got really bad!
No way, in order to take care of the overall situation, we have to make self-sacrifice.

Fortunately, it doesn't matter if they don't like us, even if the cloud elves and sky giants join forces, they can't beat Cyberdragon.

After all, we only do some good things occasionally, and the real housekeeping skill is making bombs! "

Even Matthew was silent now.

And Bobo seemed to have just issued a declaration of victory, like a proud big rooster, happily jumped off the chair:
"I'm leaving now, go to Lily and ask for clarification!"

"and many more!"

Yu Lian stopped her.

"Leave later, with him, I will arrange for you to go through the back door."

While speaking, he motioned to the younger brother outside the door to temporarily close the door with a covering, then took the letter from the table, opened it and read it.

Bobo didn't object this time, he moved a small bench from the side and sat down obediently.

2 minute later.

Yu Li raised his eyebrows and looked at Matthew:

"So you're here to find a way to balance?"

Matthew nodded, his eyes determined.

But he actually didn't expect too much in his heart. After leaving Junliu Island, Matthew regarded Kordo City as the last stop of his southbound trip.

If he can't find the inheritance of the way of balance here, he plans to pat his butt and find a few strange undead to have a "Night of the Dead" without getting drunk or returning.

Unexpectedly, Yu Lian said very easily:
"I do know where there is the inheritance of the Dao of Equilibrium. This information was originally charged, but you did me a favor today, so I will tell you for free-to be honest, you are really lucky , When I sold this news to a grave robber, I received a full 1000 gold coins!"

"Grave robber?"

Matthew wondered.

"Yeah, the last inheritance of the way of balance is in the underwater tomb of "Ming Tan King". The tomb robbers on the Gold Coast have long been eager to make a move. They tried to steal Ming Tan King's tomb several times but failed. Yes, they actually found me here, so I told them a road leading to the underwater tomb. "

Yu Lian flicked his cigar, as if he was reporting a very successful business.

Matthew's heart sank.

Sure enough, someone opened King Mingtan's tomb first, otherwise he would not have found the tombstone on the beach of Junliu Island.

"Your Excellency is also a member of the Sioux tribe. The Sioux people have always attached great importance to funeral tombs, right? Isn't King Mingtan your ancestor?"

He looked at Yu Lian with some puzzlement.

Hearing this, Yu Lian couldn't help but sneered:

"Ancestors? I don't care. I did hear that they accumulated a lot of family property, but they left nothing for me.

I came out to make a living when I was less than 13 years old, and I can rely on myself to be where I am today.

My grandfather may have taught me a few tricks for self-defense, but I don't understand his balance at all.

In short, I am self-made, and I have nothing to do with the Sioux other than blood, and I don't agree with them. "

Yu Lian said so.

Matthew naturally stopped talking, and just asked about the location of the underwater tomb and how to enter it.

Yu Lian said:
"King Ming Tan's underwater tomb is very grand and huge. It is located in a demiplane, and there are only two entrances and exits, which are divided into life and death.

What I pointed out to the tomb robbers is actually a dead end. As for you, you have the imprint of the Sioux people on your body. I believe you have been to Junliu Island and spent the Lantern Festival on it. If you are still alive and kicking, it shows that you really are. Has the potential to become a balance messenger.

I’m referring to a way of life for you. Remember, after leaving Kordo City, head northeast all the way, enter the rain forest, follow a small river with light blue gravel at the bottom, and walk upstream along the river bank, about two A few feet away, you will find a lake.

That lake is called Dalong Lake.

Go to the center of the lake, 400 meters down from the surface of the lake, and you will find the way of life leading to the tomb of King Mingtan.

Of course, I must also remind you that the lake is not simple, there are many monsters inhabiting nearby, even the beasts in the rainforest are very afraid, and there are rumors that there are brontosaurus in the center of the lake - I have never been there anyway, so I don't know, you Only by yourself. "

Dalong Lake.

The scene of Lumière hunting the plesiosaur by the lake immediately appeared in Matthew's mind.

At that time, he felt that the lake was a bit mysterious.

"So Dalong Lake is related to King Mingtan's tomb. No wonder the ecology there is unique. Even the soul of the rainforest can't do anything to it."

Matthew's mind suddenly brightened.

"If you want to explore the underwater tomb, you'd better go early. It's been a troubled time recently, and even the city of Kordo is a bit uneasy."

Yu Lian reminded.

"An eventful year?"

Matthew gestured for the other party to speak in more detail with his eyes.

Yu Lian was also happy:

"The Golden Sage intends to unify the south bank, and many businessmen and city owners from small city-states have come to the north to take refuge. A large part of them have come to Cordo City. There are more people taking refuge, and more fish in troubled waters. Who knows what will happen next What will happen to the law and order in Kordo City in a few months?

In fact, the North Shore is not peaceful. The Wind and Sand Thieves group fights internally and assassinates outside the city every day. The worst thing is, these stupid thieves often mistakenly assassinate the target. I have already killed several customers in their hands.

There is also a group of cultists who spread the belief of Eucres in the city under the banner of the Scourge. They seem to be the most peaceful, and they will distribute bread to the refugees when they preach, but according to my experience Judging, this group of people is the most difficult to deal with. I even suspect that the tomb robber who asked me to buy information before was working for the Scourge.

Also be careful if you come across them in the wild.

Of course, none of the above is the main event. The most important thing is, listen to my advice, don’t go to sea recently!Don't even go near the shoreline! "

Matthew was amazed at Yu Lian's generous sharing of the information.

But he was quickly attracted by the last sentence of the other party:

"why?"

Yu Lian cursed a curse word, and then said nonchalantly: "A poet who doesn't know where he came from was captured by a group of Naga. I went to the ruins of Aru, which is the most prosperous city of the Naga tribe, and the palace of the Naga queen is also there.

As a result, within a few days after this person entered the palace, a huge incident occurred.The news I heard is that he not only slept the Naga Queen, but also slept her three daughters, a mother, and even the Naga General who guarded the palace.

Although those cold-blooded snake people are extremely perverted, they regard the loyalty of their partners as extremely important.

Rumor has it that Queen Naga even wanted to make him a prince.

Well now, mother and daughter turned against each other, monarchs and ministers fought each other, and the Naga tribe fell into civil war.

Moreover, they fought from the bottom of the sea to the surface of the sea. Whether it was the Queen Naga, the general who led the troops to split, or the other princesses, their tempers were not good. Unfortunately, it is natural to find other people to vent your anger first.

In the past two days, the atmosphere in Aruneihai has been very tense, and this is the root cause.

The most outrageous point of this matter is that after the poet with rotten crotch collected stamps from the Naga Palace, he disappeared without a trace, and no one has heard of him falling into anyone's hands. Do you think it is strange? "

Listening to Yu Lian's complaints, Matthew's expression gradually became subtle.

Does the Naga Palace collect stamps?
Why does this style sound so familiar?

"It's really outrageous."

Matthew didn't reveal that he knew Lorraine, but thanked Yu Lian for his reminder many times after listening.

The two chatted for a while, and after confirming some details about the underwater tomb, Matthew offered to leave.

Bobo on the bench also stood up immediately.

Yu Lian called a younger brother to take them out through the secret door behind the office.

after awhile.

The body of the purgatory three-headed dog lying on its stomach in the aisle slowly changed.

From a scary monster, she turned into a tall, cute girl with dark red skin and a slender tail behind her back.

The girl is wearing a leather jacket, sexy and hot.

Had Matthew been there, it would have been immediately obvious that this was a tiefling.

"Why don't you clean them up, Yu Lian? It's not in your character."

The girl took off the collar around her neck, and obediently wrapped it around Yu Lian's body.

The latter didn't dare to move, and kept his eyes fixed as if he had become a gentleman:
"I run a casino, and I don't engage in assassination. Besides, those two people are not easy to mess with. The artificer who explodes at every turn is fine. That necromancer is a practitioner of the way of balance, you don't understand It doesn't matter what that means, but you need to remember that people who can trigger the way of equilibrium are perverts!"

Yu Lian looked a little tired.

"That's why you respectfully send the troublemakers away and share information with them for free?"

The girl gently licked Yu Lian's earlobe:

"I almost don't know you anymore."

Yu Lian forced a smile:
"Sometimes we have to endure some losses. If this information can quickly send these two plague gods away, I am willing to say more."

"Catch a dwarf from the slaves, kill him, and throw it out, so that no one will question the strength of Hao Happy."

"Hiss, Dolores, don't touch there...uh!"

The tiefling girl chuckled and said:
"Don't be so guarded against me, I just came to remind you to remember your current identity - what you just said was so impassioned, I almost believed that you were self-made."

Yu Lian immediately showed flattery on his face:

"That's just a rhetoric to fool them. I know that I'm just a dog in purgatory."

"Huh? Purgatory?"

Dolores raised her eyebrows.

"No, I'm just the dog of Master Swana, the "True Mother of All Laws"! "

Yu Lian hurriedly made amends.

"It's good to know."

Dolores smiled and brushed every inch of skin on Sickle with her small hands:
"I really don't mean anything malicious, but I'm just afraid that when you met that necromancer, you remembered something you shouldn't have remembered."

Yu Lian looked at the huge chart hanging on the side of the office with a complicated expression, and sighed deeply:
"What is it, Sioux?"

"Don't worry, Dolores, I'm long gone."

……

In the alley outside the secret passage.

Matthew slowly withdrew his gaze, and he didn't relax until he walked out of the alley smoothly.

"Is this your first time dealing with artificers? They don't dare to do it."

Bobo is confident about this:

"They always think we're going to explode when we touch it, but it doesn't happen at all!"

Seeing Matthew's expression of disbelief.

She couldn't help but stop and looked up:
"If you don't believe me, touch my helmet!?"

Matthew hesitated for a moment, and deliberately stretched out his left hand to touch——

Stab it!

Immediately, a blue-white electric current rushed up, making Matthew's white left hand tremble, and burnt black spots appeared on the tips of the index finger and middle finger that were the first to touch the electric current.

"hiss!"

Matthew withdrew his hand like lightning, and looked at Bobo in shock.

"what?"

The latter raised his helmet with both hands strangely:
"Is there a leakage somewhere? Why don't I feel it? Oh, here!"

As she spoke, she slightly adjusted the angle of the helmet, and then said to Matthew:

"It's done, you can touch it again, don't worry, you will definitely not get an electric shock this time!"

But it could explode, right?

Matthew silently complained in his heart.

Bobo's gaze was very earnest, so he had no choice but to change the subject:
"So you're going to find that Lily now? Do you need my help?"

Bobo was indeed attracted:
"No, I'll go alone!
I still owe you a favor this time!

Next time... forget it this time, I just heard the conversation between the two of you, are you going to rob graves under the sea next? "

Matthew immediately shook his head and said:
"No, I don't rob graves, I'm just chasing a kind of knowledge."

Bobo showed a superficial smile:
"You don't need to hide it, I understand it. It's very common for necromancers to rob graves."

Matthew strenuously denied it:
"Although I'm a necromancer, I really don't want to rob graves. This time I'm just looking for an opportunity to advance."

Bobo nodded:

"It doesn't matter, I will accompany you for a walk, and from now on, there will be no debt between you and me."

"Don't rush to refuse, Artificer is very powerful, you know, even cloud elves and sky giants can't defeat Cyberdragon!"

Matthew thought for a while, and then agreed.

He was mainly interested in Bobo's equipment, and he wanted to know what it would look like after it was removed.

As for the Artificer's own ability, he was a little apprehensive.

Now he solemnly said:
"You have to promise me that you won't blow up the tomb."

Bobo sneered and stomped his feet:

"I know you still can't trust me, but I promise you that I will never blow up the tomb. Are you satisfied now?"

Hearing this, Matthew reached out and touched Bobo's helmet with satisfaction.

There is no cold and hard touch of ordinary helmets, but a soft and silky feeling.

When the helmet was stroked, Bobo seemed to have turned into a robot whose power had been turned off, and suddenly stood there without speaking.

"Let's go."

After a long time, Matthew retracted his left hand and said.

"where to?"

Bobo asked in a muffled voice:
"Go to Lily, don't worry, I won't interfere with you, the most you can do is watch a show outside."

Matthew said.

Four 10 minutes later.

In the civilian area of ​​Cordo City, the entrance of a small building with a yard.

With his backpack on his back, Bobo jumped out of it.

"How about it?"

Matthew asked.

"I questioned Lily according to what you said. She cried and told everything. Yu Lian didn't lie. The injury on her body was left by the former security captain Holkin. After losing his job, Holkin drank every day and got drunk. Just beat people, Lily was beaten very badly, and later, Holkin learned that Lily was a peripheral member of our Huo Sisterhood, so he made a wrong idea. I happened to pass by this city, and Lily was in Holkin They tricked me at the instigation of me, and they planned to use me to get rid of Yu Lian... that's probably what happened."

Bobo calmly recounted what happened in the house.

"So what are you going to do with them?"

Matthew walked side by side with her, with their backs to the small building and walked away from the civilian area.

"How I originally planned to deal with Yu Lian, now I will deal with them. The Huo Sisters Association cannot allow such bad people to exist!"

Bobo lifted his chin slightly and said coolly.

boom!
At this moment, a loud noise came from behind the two of them.

Matthew looked back, but saw a bright fire dragon jumping out of the small building just now.

In an instant, the small building was reduced to ruins!
Countless passers-by flocked to point and point.

Matthew turned around, only to find that Bobo hadn't looked back at all, and had already gone far away in a jump:

"Hurry up, Mage!"

"I'm sleepy and hungry now, and I need to go back to rest. The food at the Eagle Point Inn is superb, you won't be disappointed, and I'm treating you today!"

Matthew smiled and followed quickly.

Four 10 minutes later.

In a room on the third floor of the Eagle Point Hotel.

Bobo sat on the edge of the bed, looking at Matthew blankly:

"Beforehand, I don't take off my armor when I sleep, everything is hard!"

"So you better not have bad thoughts!"

Matthew was also a little helpless.

Today was his first day in Kordo City, and he went to find Yu Lian before he could book a hotel.

I walked around the civilian area, and when I came back, I was told that the Eagle Point Hotel was full.

Not only that, Matthew went to six nearby hotels and found that they were all full.

This shows that the information that Yu Lian mentioned that many merchants on the south bank came to Kordo City for refuge is true.

Seeing that Matthew had nowhere to live, Bobo said on the spot that he could squeeze in her room.

However, after entering the room, the pleasant atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became awkward during the meal.

Matthew didn't explain much either.

Take out the defensive poems and open a "Mordencan's Private Chamber" in the corner of the room.

The duration of this spell is 12 hours, so it can be used not only for protection, but also for lodging.

The only limitation is to drive the singularity in a safe place.

If it is driven in the wild or in an alley, a wild dog passing by can destroy it, and it will be very inexperienced.

"Rest, tomorrow morning I'll go buy underwater breathing potions, and then head for the rainforest."

After speaking, Matthew stepped into the secret room.

The artificer beside the bed hummed softly, and began to gently wipe his armor.

……

late at night.

A figure is rapidly approaching Kordo City.

When he got close to the city wall, the man jumped and jumped directly from the city wall which was nearly ten meters high!

After landing.

The man sniffed the air, then rushed towards the city without stopping.

Soon.

He came outside the Eagle Point Inn.

"I found it, the last smell is left here, on the third floor...that room!"

Lumière looked excitedly at the dark windows on the third floor.

next moment.

Without thinking about it, he jumped directly to the third floor of the hotel. His body was very dexterous, he walked between the window sills and bricks, and soon came to the window he wanted.

Lumière decisively pushed the window and entered.

However, just as his feet touched the floor of the room, a sharp wind of fists struck from the side——

Thanks to Lumiere's amazing perception and agility, he rolled over immediately and avoided that heavy punch that was shining with lightning!
Snapped!
The fire lights up.

He saw a dwarf in heavy armor glaring at him.

The glove of the other party's right hand was glowing with azure blue lightning at this moment, as if he was about to punch him hard at any moment.

"Wait! I'm not a bad person!"

Lumière hurriedly explained.

Bobo scolded ferociously:

"Click other people's windows in the middle of the night, and you say you're not a bad person?"

She said she was about to punch.

Lumiere shouted urgently:
"Matthew! I smell Matthew, I'm here to find him!"

Zizizi!
The lightning that was about to explode suddenly stopped.

Bobo looked at Lumière suspiciously:
"smell?"

Right now.

Matthew, who was awakened by the alarm spell, finally walked out of the private room.

"What happened?"

When he saw the face of the uninvited guest, he couldn't help being a little surprised:

"What are you, Lumière?"

Lumière looked at Matthew happily. He was about to say something, but suddenly he became a little dull——

Because he found that he didn't know what to say!

After receiving the mission from Little Flying Squirrel, Lumière ran all the way south, not daring to stop for a moment.

All the way here.

For the first time, he stopped and had a chance to think about how to explain his intention to Matthew.

Lumière was very tangled.

He grew up in the rain forest since he was a child, and he doesn't know the rules of the outside world, and he doesn't know how to lie.

He can't say that it is the soul of the rainforest that he must invite you back, can he?
This will not only hurt the face of the soul of the rainforest, Lumiere himself is embarrassed.

So he fell into deep thought.

"You advanced? This is really something worth celebrating."

Here, Matthew noticed the changes in Lumiere, and congratulated him:
"But you came to me so late, did something happen to you?"

Facing Matthew's inquiry, Lumière seemed a little hesitant.

His forehead began to sweat, and his heart was as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

Seeing this scene, Bobo's gloves started to glow blue again:
"Do you know him? I don't think he is a good person. You can see that he dare not answer your words!"

Matthew was also a little puzzled:
"Lumiere?"

Lumière was dizzy in a hurry.

He looked at Matthew stupidly, and suddenly said something out of nowhere:
"I miss you, Matthew."

in the room.

The blue light of the glove reflected Matthew's shocked face.

Bobo's expression also froze.

Then he turned back and forth between the two with strange eyes.
