lizard lord

Chapter 200 Turquoise

It naturally caused a commotion, but Tang Zhao didn't care much about it.

The "Assassin" is not strong, and not much stronger than normal people. Maybe this is a smoke bomb, or it may be a temptation.

He calmly observed the surroundings, trying to find out who was watching secretly, but unfortunately he failed.

[Forget it, I'm not familiar with the place, so it's not easy to do too drastic things, let's solve the immediate problems first. 】

Thinking of this, he used his psychic power to knock out the human in front of him, put him on his back, and carried him to move away from the scene.

His current level of psychic power has been greatly improved compared to before. He is very effective against creatures without strong mental power, and he can knock people out even if he can't kill people.

"What should we do now?" Probably because he had never encountered such a thing before, it took the elf some time to calm down and start thinking about the current situation.

Tang Zhao looked around, there were still some pedestrians and civilians around, but now a big vacuum has been vacated for them, and the people around looked at Tang Zhao with horror or scrutiny.

Even if it doesn't appear in a complete form, within the scope of human civilization, it is difficult for ordinary people to see such creatures appearing in cities.

[Let's go first, the law enforcement officers will come over soon, we don't know their position, it's better to keep less contact. 】
-
The expected observation didn't go well, Tang Zhao took Leina and the fainted assassin back to the vicinity of the forest.

The assassin was taken care of by a more professional elf ranger. From him, a dagger, a hidden weapon, poison for suicide, some small change, and nothing else were found.

It's not normal, and the level of professionalism is too high, which further confirms Tang Zhao's conjecture.

[Let's ask again, who knows what we are going to come here. 】

Leina could understand Tang Zhao's meaning: "Rarely, on the elves' side, there are only upper-level elf nobles and elves in charge of related work, all of whom are very reliable. We will never betray our compatriots at this time. The strife has passed, so there is no need to doubt my fellow clansmen.

In addition to them, there are three parties who have certain suspicions. The suspicion of hobgoblins is the smallest among them. They have no reason to obtain this kind of information, and assassins and interceptions are not their effective means.The rest are the two countries of Colo and Nairn. It’s hard to say the specific situation. Those bats before can be controlled by both sides, and I can’t do anti-tracking with my magical attainments. "

[Understood, besides this, the other party is not aware of my existence? 】

"[-]% don't know. My father said that he didn't intend to let you come here, but he accepted it after an important consultant gave him advice. In other words, your existence was my father's short-term temporary intention, and the information was leaked. unlikely."

【Your father? 】

"My full name is Lena Neil Archibald."

Archibald was the surname of a certain elf nobleman, and he held a pivotal position in the western elf settlements, and he was regarded as one of the military pillars of the elves.

[Well, I think we should go directly across the border now. If the supplies we carry with us are not enough, we can hunt them from the wild or find an inconspicuous village for material exchange. In short, we should temporarily avoid those risky big cities and human outposts. If you have to go, try to leave it to me to solve it. 】

Tang Zhao took the initiative to invite Ying, and there was no need for other elves to refuse. Now this is indeed a good choice.

Considering that Lena and other young elves may have powerful elf families behind them, there is a high probability that they will be followed by guards, but Tang Zhao hasn't found it yet. Since they didn't show up, they just want Tang Zhao to figure it out for themselves. way to solve the problem.

【Regarding the means of transportation, soldiers are very expensive now, so let’s continue to use giant eagles. It’s okay to be observed by people here, as long as they don’t intercept us.When we were stopped, we also had customs clearance documents on us, so it didn't seem to be a big problem. 】

"You can rest assured about this. As long as we don't get knocked down to the ground, Nairn's vulture in the sky is no match for our elf's giant eagle compared to other flying mounts, at least in terms of speed."

[Understood, then do it.The original destination was the capital city of Nairn. Now we change the destination. The person who signed the document is a certain regional governor. We will talk to him first. 】

I still don't know what the situation is in the capital of human beings. Let's meet with the governor who supports them first and find out the situation before we talk.

It is still unclear what the overall attitude towards them in Nairn is. It would be bad if they were cut off by the opposition.

After making a plan, everyone packed up their things and prepared to leave.

The eagle flapped its wings and took off from the glade, flying at high speed in the air, and in a few minutes they crossed the border and entered the territory of Nairn.

There are spell casters stationed at Nairn's border station, but their rank is not that high. Even if they find Tang Zhao, they will not be able to go to heaven to stop them.

The previous exploration in the city was not in vain. I can clearly feel that the condition of the border city is relatively depressed. Under the bustling performance, it is not so beautiful. Before, the relationship was more tense.

Flying over the city and the surrounding villages, the elves followed the map to the province of Sam where the governor was located. Due to the geographical location, Tang Zhao prefers to call it the southern province directly.

The land of Nairn is not that vast, and it consists of five provinces as a whole, which happen to be in the order of southeast, northwest, and it is very convenient to call them.

Falling in the forests of the southern province, they found a cave and set up camp temporarily. Tang Zhao wants to lead these inexperienced elves to work, so he is now cautious.

At this time, they were finally free to interrogate the assassin. As expected, his tone was very strict. The rangers tried all kinds of humane methods to press him, but they couldn't get any effective information.

Firstly, his tone is really strict, and secondly, these rangers are really not good at interrogation and other things, they are definitely better at shooting and throwing than interrogating them.

Asking You Xia to use anesthesia to faint again, which is more convenient to manage, after that Tang Zhao didn't care much about the assassin.

Anyway, they should get in touch with humans soon, just leave the assassins to them, they are better at doing similar things.

That night, they rested in the cave and hunted a few deer from the mountains as food supplements. Everyone rested well.

The next morning, after Tang Zhao greeted everyone, he was ready to go to the human world to investigate the situation.

The capital city of the southern province is Turquoise City, which produces more minerals than other provinces.The governor in power in the city is Lynn of the Richard family, a well-known fifth-order spellcaster who used to be a lecturer at the Mage Academy.

Turquoise City is not far from their side, and Tang Zhao ran to the target area that afternoon.

From outside the city, one can clearly feel that the atmosphere here is not normal. Tang Chao is very familiar with this atmosphere, which is very similar to Yintao City and Lu Fude before the war.

The city walls were filled with heavily armed soldiers, and magic crystals were placed on the towering towers. Most of the main city gates were closed, leaving only three or five inconspicuous small gates that remained open.

After entering the city with some doubts, you can see heavily armed patrol soldiers and serious mages from time to time. You can also see many well-equipped adventurers near taverns and hotels, with excitement or anxiety. Get together to discuss the current situation.

Tang Zhao is now a very small lizard, who stopped to observe for a while before choosing to leave.He didn't go directly to the human governor, but went to the Lathander Church first.

Lathander is a god universally believed by mankind, with followers all over the continent. It is not difficult to find the church of this god.

Tang Zhao got along well with the Losander Church in Oran because of the sahuagin. Before Tang Zhao went back, they provided him with a scale with a mysterious symbol.

It is said that this thing can be used to get in touch with the Losander Church in foreign countries and get their assistance. After Tang Zhao did so at the gate of the Losander Church, the result was indeed the case.

Tang Zhao was honored by the local Losander Church, and he was not embarrassed because of his non-human status. Although the people in the church were surprised, they still showed understanding and respect.

Tang Zhao also didn't want to use the power of Losander Church to do big things, but just asked them to use their abilities and characteristics to help.

The first is to understand how Lynn behaves in their eyes, and the second is to obtain a legal and reasonable opportunity to meet through the cooperation of the Losander Church.

Both are not difficult. For the local Lathander Church, they can only be regarded as casual, and they are willing to help a little.

This is because Tang Zhao didn't say what they came for. If the Losander Church knew that they were here to negotiate and deal with the Principality of Keluo, maybe the Losander Church would even be willing to send troops. That country really doesn't have a good reputation.
-
Two days later, near the Governor's Mansion in Turquoise City, Reina was looking around, trying to get a panoramic view of the surrounding scene.

If the church promises to be a bridge, it must mean what it says.They formally submitted an application to the Governor's Mansion on the same day, and the other side also agreed normally, and the matter was considered to be on the right track.

Lei Na and Tang Zhao entered from the main entrance of the Governor's Mansion, and were quite surprised by the situation inside - the Governor's Mansion has completely become a small and medium-sized military camp.

There are a large number of soldiers patrolling anytime and anywhere in the mansion, and there are a lot of training grounds and observation systems that the barracks should have.The more such places are, the more tense the situation is, and wars and bloody conflicts may break out anytime and anywhere.

The decoration style in the mansion is somewhat different from that in Oran. It does not emphasize luxury, nor deliberately uses those aristocratic patterns and objects to set off the identity, highlighting the sense of elegance.

After all, the governor is a spell caster who has been a serious lecturer, and he is different from the people Tang Zhao has met before.

After passing through layers of rooms and several guards, Tang Zhao, Leina and others finally entered the core of the Governor's Mansion, and saw the administrator of this large province in a large study .

The Howard family has a long history. As the head of the family, Lin En is similar to what Tang Zhao imagined at the beginning. He is a middle-aged man with a serious face. muscle.

It is said that this dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, while being a mage, is also a fourth-level warrior, proficient in all the skills that a warrior should know, and he was considered a dazzling figure when he was young.

The two sides didn't speak at first, they looked at each other, and after a few minutes, Lynn was the first to speak.

"I have seen giant dragons and dragon beasts that can talk and think, but this is the first time I have seen a reptile without dragon blood that has such abilities."

[This is also the first time I have seen such a strong mage. 】

Tang Zhao complimented the other party politely. Lin En was very satisfied with his status as a double cultivator of magic and martial arts. This was the information he got from the Losander Church.

After the initial politeness, the two sides quickly got down to business and put away their playful mentality.

"The news I got at the beginning was that the elves contacted me. Although the situation is not the same as what was agreed, it is not a serious problem. Anyway, we will reach an agreement with Karak Solma sooner or later. We humans do have interests with the dwarves, and having more friends is not bad."

[It is good to make more friends, but at present, I am afraid that you have too many friends.Originally, I also thought that our trip would not be intercepted, and we might not encounter assassins on the street. 】

Lynn smiled slightly: "Apologize to you on behalf of my colleagues."

【What is going on?Please tell me the truth that honesty between the two parties is a necessary element of cooperation. 】

"There's nothing to hide, that's all"

Lin En has a high level of education and strong language organization ability. He can tell the whole picture of the matter in a few words, and he can actually say it in a lively and interesting way.

In short, Nairn's internal opinions are also divided now. Several forces do not like the place ruled by Ke Luo, a tyrant, and the specific solution to that side is not certain.
Some wait for the times to change, some don't want massive total war, and some, like Lynn, insist on total war against Colo.

This is what the capital is like now. People from several parties are arguing over this issue, but so far there has been no result.

【Did you want to use us to enhance your credibility? 】

"Almost, that's why I wrote that letter, telling you to come to the capital to find me, but I didn't expect that the things I encountered were so bad. It's also fortunate that you came with them, otherwise I would be in trouble here if the situation worsened." Difficult."

It was basically a polite remark, Tang Zhao chose to ignore it.

[Let’s talk about the really important things. If you want to deal with the Principality of Keluo, let us help. I need to make sure that your department really has such capabilities. 】

"No problem, of course."
