wandering fairy

Pregg and his guys huddled together in a rough alley and had a delicious meal of big fish and big meat. Stimulated by the crude seasoning that rushed straight into the nose and throat, everyone called out some choking low-quality spirits and started Poo becomes bragging.Under the dim light of the poor-quality magic lamp, everyone was so drunk that their faces were blood red, and they talked a lot.

After taking a few sips of spirits, Praeg felt a little uncomfortable in his head.I sighed secretly in my heart: I am really old, I can't even drink this little wine.Alcohol is the only source of happiness for us people, and now we can't enjoy even a little happiness.How will I live in the future!

In a depressed mood, he turned his head and looked at the majestic hotel opposite the deep alley. Large stone pillars like giant trees rose up from the ground, stably supporting a wide five-story building, which was stronger than some viscounts. The castle is even more magnificent.Its translucent walls are carved like a large chunk of thick jade, and it emits a faint golden brilliance in the night, making the whole hotel exude a crystal-like color like topaz and a texture as warm as butter. , It is several times more gorgeous than the palace made of gold bricks!

At this time, several rich men with big bellies and round faces walked out of the transparent porch that was about three carriages wide and made of crystal fusion. They wore gold and silver robes, decorated with five-color gemstone flowers, fine gold badges, etc. Not only does it reflect a glittering and elegant luster, but it also emits clusters of strong magic aura, which dazzles Plague who wears the arcane vision ring.I secretly sighed in my heart: They are all high-end mage tools!If I have a set and sell it, the money I get in exchange will never last in my life!I can't finish enjoying it in ten lifetimes!

I saw those few rich people wearing diamond star crowns that are brighter than the king's crown, majestic and fierce, and under the protection of several brightly dressed mages, they slowly walked into several vehicles that exuded extremely strong magic aura. luxury carriage.These auras were as dazzling as the colorful sun, which made Plague curse in a low voice while covering his hands with his hands: "F*ck! How many evil things have these guys done? You even have to go out to drink a glass of wine." Sitting in such a well-protected carriage? Fuck! With so many powerful magic protections, it can almost withstand the crazy impact of a group of rutting male elephants! What kind of birds... people?!"

The bald middle-aged owner of the night market stall said: "I heard that some rich people came from the eastern coastal area. They said that they came here to worship God Kuspot, and they planned to donate some money to the temple. Hmph, that temple It’s almost worth more than the Golden Temple!” There was something disrespectful to God Kuspot in the words!

Plague was taken aback. He had been here for many days and had heard that the Cusport Church, the God of Order and Strength, was the largest church organization in the area. At least one-fifth of the population and The territory is under their control.So he said: "Donation is also good. I also said that the area under the Cusport Church is in order, and people live and work in peace and contentment at night. Even the young people who fight and make trouble are honest after joining their church. If my hometown has For this kind of church, I don’t have to travel all the way here to earn the desperate living money.”

Unexpectedly, the tone of the bald boss became more disrespectful: "Live and work in peace and contentment? Huh, I think it's just buying people's hearts. As for the young people who fight and make trouble, they are honest after joining the church, but that's not a good thing! Their church gets money every year. Pay a lot of money to train these young people, make it look like a huge gang! It's just a gang that hasn't made trouble yet. Maybe someday it will make a mess of this good town of Strandhold The world is turned upside down. You are a foreigner and don't understand the situation here." He hesitated to speak.

Plague was stunned for a moment and then asked: "I heard that the purpose of God Cusport is to establish a great new order of justice, peace, where everyone performs their duties and does not fight each other. And the behavior is still decent. No It's going to be that serious."

The boss looked even more disdainful.He sneered and said, "The great new order? Hey, they are all lying to those young people who do not do things honestly! Those boys who have not grown up, work dishonestly, and they know how to be those day-timers who get ahead and save the world all day long." Dream! I just happened to be tricked into being someone else's thug by Cusport Church!"

Praeg looked around in surprise, wondering why the boss was so daring.The surrounding area is the territory of God Kuspot!Muttering in his mouth: "No way, those young people are not fools? How can they be so easy to deceive?" The bald boss just sighed: "Stupid is not stupid. It's just that you don't work hard and dream more diligently than anyone else! Parents send them out to work. They feel that the money given by others is too little today, the work is too tiring tomorrow, and they say they can’t find work the day after tomorrow. In the end, they either stay at home and become jobless youths with nothing to do, or they join gangs and become gangsters. The bastards who fight and make trouble! They used to do their own things, but now they are all gathered up by the church of God Cusport with a few lofty ideals, great blueprints, and some semi-coercive methods. Then they are used as thugs I think I am very noble! Hmph, they are all inexperienced children. They will be sold sooner or later! In the past, there were several churches of gods in this city, and everyone lived in peace for many years, but here For more than ten years, they have been troubled by Cusport's godly thugs during the day and harassed at night, and finally had to move away automatically. What kind of vanguard team has been formed now, and everything that hinders them will be punished Not good fruit to eat!"

Praeg couldn't sit still for a while.Speaking of which, he was also an unemployed youth before, and he had fought several times in the countryside.So he said with a slight sense of defense: "But this can be regarded as a chance for these young people to resettle. And I think the security in this area is not bad. I heard that the believers of the God of Kuspot are relatively conservative. Well-behaved people. They can even spontaneously maintain the order of the neighborhood. It shouldn’t be so bad, right? Did those temples say something bad about them and were harassed by those young radical believers? That’s normal Well, which church has not harassed other churches these days?"

But the boss sighed very worriedly: "If they are just messing around, I don't care about it. But this church, this church has great ambitions. Who in Strandholds doesn't know their plans now?! You Look at the few rich men just now, they were all hired from other places. I heard that these fat-headed guys have a very bad reputation in the east! They are all big money-holders who extort money, double-decker, and usury! They came to a city They used all kinds of tricks to deceive and collude with the rich and powerful to make the craftsmen and small businesses in the whole city go bankrupt, and then had to borrow money from them to live. They slowly became their cattle! Every year, [-]% of their income will be lost. These guys take [-]% to [-]% of it, and they are miserable! I didn’t expect them to come here to harm this place again! Alas”

He suddenly saw Plague looking around, and he knew what the outsider was thinking.So he smiled and said, "Don't look at it. It's here." He pointed to an inconspicuous mark on the small mailbox at the door——that was the holy emblem of Seanworth, the god of nobles and guardians.

Praeg suddenly realized, no wonder this guy dared to speak nonsense next to the Cusport Temple.It turned out that he was a follower of the God of Seanworth.The local Grand Duke is also a loyal believer of God Seanworth, so the church still has some influence in the local area. Although it is not as powerful as God Cusport, it is not something that can be provoked casually.

Praeg smiled and asked with great interest: "So, the Church of God Cusport is not quite big. At least I dare not provoke your Church of Seanworth God. And I also heard It is said that the high priest of this temple is an old friend of your grand duke for many years, and he fought with life and death before, and killed the cruel uncle of the grand duke before."

The boss laughed strangely and said: "That was all decades ago, and now the two of them have cut off contact! People say that there are two Grand Dukes in Sizhuanghoude City. One is Grand Duke Youenxi of Mingli, The other is High Priest O'Connor of the Cusport Temple. Alas, if Grand Duke Younxi hadn't supported the situation, this city would have been ruined by that high priest long ago!"

Plague asked back with surprise: "No way, what good will it do their church to ruin this city? Besides, I think their jurisdiction is in order. It doesn't look like a church that ruins people."

But the boss sighed again, his originally 40-year-old face suddenly looked like he was five or six years old, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it's the high priest or the priest, they are all servants of the God of Kuspot, and they only care about the will of the gods. , who cares about the life and death of the local people! If one day the God Cusport says: For our great blueprint, the city of Strandhold must be set on fire. Those lunatics will also copy it! Among other things, Didn’t six or seven thousand hungry people come from other places recently outside the city? How did they come here? They weren’t kidnapped by those Cuspot gods! I heard that there have been some famines in various places recently, and they They ran over and promised these people that as long as they joined the church with them, they could get food. Those people followed them to survive. Hmph, if it weren’t for the early closing of the city gates by Grand Duke Younxi and the strict prohibition of these refugees from entering and leaving, it would not have happened. You know what kind of mess the city is going to be made into by these bumpkins! And think about it, why didn't the Cusport Church buy food for these starving people on the spot. Instead, they had to take them all the way to Strandhold What about the city? I think 7000% of them want these people to enter the city, and they will become the most loyal thugs of the Cusport Church in a ruthless manner! Six to seven thousand people! By then the entire Strandhold City will become their base camp When he said this, he cursed indignantly: "Hmph! These dirty and smelly refugees, it would be best if they starve to death! Lest they come and spoil the peaceful life of us honest people!"

In the end, he closed his eyes and prayed: "The most honorable God Seanworth, bless the peace and tranquility of this town! I pray that you will kick all those evil spirits into the ravine, and let them die! Don't disturb our life." He whispered in a very devout voice, not sure if he was praying to the gods to bless him, or cursing the hungry people outside the city.

Praeg felt uncomfortable for a while. He was also a refugee who was lucky enough not to starve to death.So he yelled at his buddy angrily: "It's getting late! Drink it quickly! Leave after drinking!"

Dongzi and his party followed the team of the paladin Denzel and walked slowly up a small hill. Looking from here to the distant city of Strandhold, which stretched for several miles, it looked like a magnificent huge hill. Majestic across the mountains.Really worthy of the strategic and commercial hub ah.Compared with it, Giffen City is more fancy than majestic.Just under the lingering clouds in the sky.The whole city looked gloomy and depressing.

When it was getting dark, Denzel didn't lead everyone to continue to the city.Instead, they took the team and camped in a dense forest nearby.After negotiating with them curiously for a while, MacKenzie came back with a helpless face and said, "They said that thousands of hungry people gathered outside the city of Strandhold. A few more bandits came. The whole city is now Grand Duke Eunxi ordered the city to be sealed off! Both the inside and the outside cannot enter and exit.”

Upon hearing the word robber, Grimm was the first to react.He shouted: "It is said that Grand Duke Younxi has a very elite [-] troops, all of whom are powerful figures who can stand up to ten. There are also hundreds of flying troops of spellcasters. How could those robbers be allowed to show off their power outside the city?"

Mackenzie said helplessly, "It is said that because the sub-giant Bendu Empire in the north showed signs of invading the local area, the Grand Duke dropped all his elite troops to the border defense. The troops in the city are only enough to defend the small army. The enemy's strongest army is fifty Griffin heavy crossbowmen." Grimm's eyes lit up, and he said with a little excitement: "It's just a flying corps holding a magic heavy crossbow and riding a griffin? That's enough. Ah! The magic heavy crossbow does not need to pull the string. You only need to activate the magic wand in the crossbow body, and the powerful spring inside can automatically reset, so the continuous shooting speed is very fast. A burst of arrows rained down in turn, and the robber could bear it ?”

McKenzie said with a smile: "Ordinary bandits can't stand it. Unfortunately, this time the bandits are more powerful than the other! Two of the bandit teams are the most famous Mountain Lion Brotherhood and the Rattlesnake League in the East. Have you heard of it? No?"

Grimm was tongue-tied, the high-ranking members of the two bandits were strong men who had mastered the fifth-order arcane arts!Let alone Sizhuanghoude City, even some small countries are eager to provoke!It is rumored that these guys have some inexplicable contacts with the Austrian Law Federation and the Three Towers Federation.To be honest, if I can get into such a gang of bandits in my life.That's worth it too!I heard that the noble ladies of some small and medium kingdoms are their crotch slaves!Being a bandit can do this, it is worth dying for!So he stammered and asked: "That's more troublesome. But it's better to kill the other two teams first. To prevent the robbers outside the city from wandering around, it will have a bad impact on the reputation of Strandhold City."

McKenzie laughed and said, "Kill it? Who will it kill! The third team is the Zamakri barbarian tribe in the north. They are spies of the Bendu Empire in the human area. Everyone in it is fighting The bison are also strong, brutal fighters who can run faster than camels! And they also believe in the six-armed god of war, Gregors! So their special strong bows fused with divine magic are not much worse than magic heavy crossbows. I don’t know who will be shot into a sieve first.”

Grimm shuddered suddenly. These extremely violent savages were assisted by advanced divine arts, they were simply killing machines.The local kingdom of Charlemagne once entered and formed a mid-level spellcaster flying force of nearly a hundred people, and went to attack them in the treacherous mountains.Unexpectedly, they were wrapped up in a valley without knowing the ghosts.They were also locked in the regional dimension in advance by their senior priests, and could not escape with the teleportation spell.Then a round of powerful javelins and a dense rain of arrows shot, killing everyone!

He was very discouraged and asked: "What about the last one? It can't be more powerful."

McKenzie laughed again: "You guessed it, the last one is even more powerful---Roseda the fearful necromancer."

Grimm said "Ah!", looked around with fear in his eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Then why are we still here?! Go to the city! Even if you spend a little more money, you must not Stay in the wilderness and wait for him to come to your door! I heard that the guy is very perverted. And he is extremely cruel. He likes to torture people to death bit by bit with special instruments of torture! He even killed two masters A 7th-level arcane mage and a priest who masters 8th-level magic. Aren’t we waiting to die here?” Dongzi said excitedly at the unknown situation: “That guy is very difficult to deal with! Compared with him, the pastor is nothing like bullshit!" He dared not speak out about Palik in front of outsiders.It can only be replaced by the priest of the Lord of Eternity.

Dongzi also frowned secretly. Last time outside Jifen City, a high-ranking mage trapped himself with a level 7 arcane force field prison, almost becoming someone else's prisoner and guinea pig.This time, another high-level spellcaster came, so it's better to be cautious!So he asked, "How powerful is he? Can he use force field prison?" Once trapped by this spell, no matter how powerful you are, you can't open it!It is completely the nemesis spell for melee fighters!

Grimm replied, dumbfounded: "He doesn't know that thing, but he can cast arcane and divine spells in the way of a warlock! Coupled with the cooperation of some magic tools, his tactics are very flexible and changeable. A If you are not careful, his plot will be ruined!"

Dongzi's eyes lit up, and he immediately regained his energy. Can he perform arcane and divine magic in the way of a warlock?Could it be that the three souls who fear the necromancer have undergone some fundamental mutation?Then how did his mutation come about?Can even include divine arts?So he hurriedly asked: "Can he even use the method of a warlock to perform high-level divine arts? Then how did he do it?"

Grimm just nodded anxiously and said: "Yes, yes. He can do divine and arcane arts. Only he knows the reason! We can't just stay like this, it will be bad if we are discovered. This What is Denzel doing? Taking us as his human shields?"

McKenzie persuaded: "He can't help it. I heard that the robbers gathered not far from the city. Two days ago, a team of food delivery teams that traveled by water was completely chiseled by the men of the fearful necromancer Rosella. It's sinking! The closer you get to Strandhold, the more dangerous it is! It's safer to stay in the woods far away. Moreover, Paladin Denzel has sent someone to sneak into the city to contact the Church of Cuspot God inside. Let them send people out of the city to meet us."

While Grimm was still walking around anxiously, Dongzi Qujia sat on his animal skin throat pad and thought to himself: Although undead spells are not my favorite, if I have the opportunity to understand the structure of this person's three souls, how can I contact him? It doesn't matter if it's down.It's just that my ability is low now, if the other party makes trouble, how can I end it?Don't be careless!It's better to avoid it.
