Lord Chronicle

Chapter 15 Confused Summoner

Hearing this sound suddenly, the old man's face changed greatly, almost at the same time there was a crash, the window behind the two thieves shattered, and a black shadow rushed in swiftly.

The reaction of the two thieves was quite unpleasant. Before the black shadow hit the ground, they rushed towards the window on the other side, but immediately after, a hockey puck smashed into the window on the other side, and at the same time as it landed, a large mess of ice thorns had grown like thorns Rise up and block their way.

Roar!With a roar, Sol and the others saw clearly that the black figure that rushed in first turned out to be an intermediate-level Warcraft bat leopard with a strange fiery red pattern tattooed on its forehead.

The two ribs spread out like the membranous wings of a bat's wings, and the bat leopard lowered its body slightly, roaring at the two thieves threateningly.At this time, a person also came in from the door: "Mr. Jialin from the Thieves Guild, we meet again." Hearing his voice, it was the person who spoke outside the door earlier.

Seeing him, the old man named Jialin was shocked and angry: "Rulette, it turned out to be you."

This man named Rulert is very young, about the same age as Kress. He is handsome, but he is quite dusty, with a lot of unshaven beard on his chin, and he seems to be on the go for a long time.

He was wearing an old leather armor, with a long sword hanging from his waist. The scabbard was very old, and there was only a complicated badge on the hilt.To Sol's surprise, Ruret turned out to have black hair, messy hair tied up casually with a wide turban, this is also the first black-haired person Sol met in this world, immediately won His favor.

While everyone was still looking at him, they suddenly saw two hands clasping the edge of the broken window, followed by the sound of strenuous panting.

Seeming to know who it was, Rulert showed a helpless wry smile on his face.Under the surprised gazes of Sol and the others, a girl in a long skirt struggled over the window sill and fell to the ground with a slap.

"Hmm..." Tears welled up in the corners of the girl's eyes, she bit her lip and got up, patting the dust on her knees.

This is a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl, with many faint freckles on her face, her two big eyes seem to be shrouded in a layer of mist at any time, and she looks dazed, so although she is not very beautiful, she looks quite. for cuteness.The girl was wearing a long black dress that looked like a college uniform, stretching down to her ankles, and a large bulging satchel was slung across her left shoulder. A complex magic circle was painted on the surface of the bag.

As soon as she came in, the girl looked around the room with a confused expression, as if no one was there.

Jessica frowned and said, "Excuse me?"

Rulert scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to interrupt you. I'm Rulert from the Adventurer's Guild, and I was ordered to protect Mr. Zhang Anbu."

"Hee." The girl suddenly laughed, she looked at Sol and said, "What a weird name."

Rulert coughed dryly: "Mene, don't be rude." Then he said: "This is my companion, Meine."

Not paying attention to Rulert's accusation, Megne rushed downstairs and shouted: "Laris, are you coming up?"

"No." A cold and clear voice came from downstairs.

Rulert said to Galin whose eyes were rolling wildly: "Mr. Galin, I advise you not to move. Cardo's arrow is pointing at your heart. I think you should know his arrow method very well."

Following Ruret's gaze, he saw a man standing tall on the top of a big tree facing the room in the garden, with a longbow in his hand, and the cold arrow pointing directly at this direction.

The old man snorted, then resigned himself to his fate and stopped moving.

"Mr. Zhang Anbu, are you okay?" Rulert said to Sol.

Saul nodded and pointed at the old man: "Who are they?"

Rulet smiled slightly: "Thieves Guild, old friend."

Jessica was stunned: "The Thieves Guild? Why have you never heard of this organization?"

Meine, who was squatting on the ground holding a piece of glass shards, muttering and drawing back and forth, raised his head: "It's a secret organization, many people don't know about it. Last year we were in the stone demon mine in the Siwa Heights , just follow them..."

"Okay, Mene." Rulert interrupted her, and then said: "The other party can be handed over to us. Our guild will be fully responsible for the safety of the few during the mission."

At this moment, the young thief suddenly heard: "Master, you can go."

"!?" Rulert was startled and turned his head quickly.

I saw that the floor under the feet of the two thieves suddenly sank, and the figures of the two had already fallen rapidly. The young thieves held an empty glass bottle between their fingers, and the mouth of the bottle was facing down. floor.

Before falling, the young thief still proudly made a goodbye gesture to them, and at the same time, with a wave of his dagger, the old man parried away an arrow shot from the window.

Chip, who had been paying attention to the movements of the two thieves, had a flash of light in his eyes, and instantly rushed out to grab the old man.It's a pity that it was still a step too late, and the two successfully fell into the room below.

"Ah Hua, catch them!" Meine shouted at the bat leopard.

With a roar, the bat leopard jumped in from the hole, and at the same time Ruret also rushed to the edge of the hole.He looked down and saw the bat and leopard circling around in the room, a couple huddled at the head of the bed in fear, looking at the monster falling from the sky in horror, how could there be any shadows of the two of them?

With a wry smile, he turned around and said, "Let them run away again."

Rulert scratched his hair habitually, and said to Sol: "It seems that there is no problem for the time being. For everyone's safety, please move to the guild tomorrow so that we can protect it. Then please have a good rest, we are all around you people, there will be no problems."

As he said that, he was walking towards the door: "Mene, let's go."

"Oh." Meine, who was leaning over the entrance of the cave to probe her head, agreed, and waved her hand, only to see a ball of light float into her palm from the room below, and the bat leopard had been taken back.

Unexpectedly, this dazed girl was actually a very skilled summoner.

After the two left, Sol looked at the hole in the center of the room, as well as the two broken windows, and the door without the door panel, and couldn't help smiling bitterly: "How can you sleep here?"

Jessica glanced out the window: "Anyway, it's almost dawn."

"It's a pity that those two thieves ran away." Kress said bitterly.

Chip spread his hands: "I grabbed this."

These are a pair of kneaded leather gloves, exactly what the old man wore when he untied the iron chain.Sol took it and looked at it. There was nothing special about the glove, nor could it be seen what kind of leather it was made of, but there was a strange pattern embroidered on the back of the right hand.

"Who has seen this pattern?" Saul asked. Seeing that everyone shook their heads, he put the gloves in his pockets indifferently: "Go back and ask Manson, he may know."

As he said that, he became proud again: "Look, I knew someone had the idea of ​​attacking our magic core."

Jessica snorted, "It's just luck."

Thor shrugged: "Whatever you say. By the way, where is the magic core?"

Hearing what he said, Jessica blushed for no reason: "Why are you asking this?"

Sol said: "It will be handed over to the Adventurer's Guild tomorrow, I need to confirm again."

Unexpectedly, Jessica became a little anxious: "Don't look at it, it's very safe."

Saul looked at him strangely: "What's wrong with you?"

"No...it's nothing." Jessica bit her lip and turned around suddenly: "You are not allowed to peek."

She stretched her hands into the clothes on her chest with a flushed face, followed her two movements a few times, and when she turned around, there were already two magic cores, one red and one yellow, in her hands.

Kress' eyes widened, and he couldn't help scanning back and forth between the magic core and Jessica's chest, while Chip turned and looked out the window expressionlessly.

Sol was dumbfounded: "No way..."

Jessica was ashamed and angry, stomping her feet and said, "How dare you say it, if you hadn't insisted on me keeping it and hiding it in a place that no one else would think of, I, how could I..."

"Yes, yes, you hid it well, look, we didn't expect it." Saul hurriedly comforted her.

After receiving Youzi's magic core with Jessica's warm body temperature, Sol stared blankly at these two little things that had been in places enough to make countless men squirt blood.All of a sudden, he put them under his nose and sniffed them.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but it seems to have a faint fragrance.

"What are you doing!?" Jessica was furious.

"I didn't!" Saul almost subconsciously denied.

"Nonsense, I've seen it all. You... Did you smell it just now..."

"What? How is it possible? You must have misread it."

"Shut up, you pervert."

"Wow, help!"

……

****************************************************************************************
Early the next morning, Sol and others came to the Adventurers Guild.Seeing him with a bruised nose and swollen face, the officials who received several people couldn't help being shocked: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, what's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, I was beaten by a thief last night." Saul wanted to cry and was speechless.

"What a daring thief," cursed the official.At the same time, I was wondering, last night Rulet clearly reported that Mr. Zhang Anbu was not harmed in any way, what's going on?

After their accommodation was settled, the officials took a group of people to see the arena under construction, which was located in a wide open space north of Ferry City.The arena is a round platform with a diameter of tens of meters. The bottom is a soil embryo, the top is covered with two-finger-thick stone slabs, and there is a circle of trapezoidal audience stands around it, which can accommodate about 2 people.

A large number of convoys were transporting various building materials back and forth, and some dwarves were holding blueprints to direct the craftsmen to construct, and there was an enthusiastic posture everywhere.It can be seen that for this sensational tournament, the Adventurer's Guild spared no expense.

"Mr. Zhang Anbu, how are you satisfied?" the official asked.

"Well, it's pretty good." Sol nodded: "I'm just wondering why such a big audience stand is built?"

The official couldn't answer, so a dwarf foreman was called.Saul looked at this short and sturdy dwarf who looked exactly like Manson in his eyes with great interest, and repeated the question aside.

The dwarf rolled his eyes and said in a low voice, "Of course it's for aesthetics. If it's just a lonely arena, it doesn't conform to the aesthetics of the building at all. We dwarves will never build ugly buildings."

"Just for this?" Sol was dizzy for a while, the dwarves are really a crazy construction nation.But I can understand it when I think about it, just like humans like beautiful women, I am afraid that few men are willing to face dinosaurs.

After pondering for a while, Sol simply said: "Since it's all repaired, don't waste it, let's sell tickets."

"What?" The officer didn't respond for a while.

Sol pointed to the stands around and said: "Selling tickets, let the audience come in and watch the game, you can liven up the atmosphere and make a fortune. It's not interesting if the game is deserted, right?"

Plop, the official fell headlong to the ground.

Wiping off his cold sweat secretly, he even changed his eyes when he looked at Sol: It turns out that this guy is not looking for adventurers, but is here to make money.

Saul continued to persuade: "Your guild also spent a lot of money for this arena, and you can get back a little bit. I think it's good, and each audience receives half a gold coin, which is 10 silver coins. Half a point, what do you think?"

Indeed, the Adventurer's Guild has invested hundreds of thousands of gold coins for this tournament, which is a huge expense, and it is not a bad thing to be able to recover some of the investment.

Thinking of this, the official finally nodded: "I will report this matter to my superiors."

"How long will it take to finish?" Jessica asked at this time.

The official said proudly: "This time we invited the best dwarf craftsmen, and the entire construction will be completed in 5 days. After that, it will take 2 days to prepare, 3 days to sign up, and the martial arts competition will start in 10 days."

This kind of efficiency is already considered very high, and then everyone looked around and went back home.

On the way back, Sol once again experienced what a big city feels like.At this moment, the city of Ferry is already boiling with the upcoming tournament. The streets are full of tall and powerful adventurers with various weapons on their backs. Among them are more stout orc warriors, slim elves or stocky dwarves...

Thor even saw a few lizards walking upright with spears in their hands and words in their mouths.According to the officials, they were the lizardmen in the swamp in the south of the mainland, and even Ferry rarely saw them, which shows how attractive the two magic cores are.

Groups of adventurers went in and out of the weapon and armor shop, and the magician in the robe patiently bargained with the boss in the magic shop.Afterwards, there were also many tourists who came to see the excitement and businessmen who wanted to take the opportunity to make a fortune. The bustling crowd flowed like a stream of water, and Sol was deeply moved.

Compared with here, Lovell, whose population is only in the early [-]s, is really pitiful.Alas, when will my territory develop to such a scale?

Back at the guild, just after entering the door, a waitress has already come up: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, a guest has come to visit and is waiting for you in the lounge."

The official said angrily: "Didn't I tell you not to let people with unknown origins in?

The waitress hastily whispered something in the officer's ear.The official's face changed drastically, he pulled Saul aside and whispered: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, the person you are going to meet in a while may make some excessive demands, but no matter what he says, don't agree to it. Please trust the Adventurer's Guild I will definitely be able to complete your commission."

Seeing his appearance as if he was facing a big enemy, Sol suddenly became interested in making the Adventurer's Guild so nervous that he couldn't drive people out. Instead, he had a strong desire to see the other party's true face.

Guided by the maid, he went to the reception room, where a man dressed as a magician in a gray robe was already waiting.He is about 40 years old, gentle, with a well-trimmed beard, and he looks like a person who has been dealing with books for a long time.

Seeing Sol come in, the man greeted him immediately: "I'm sorry to disturb you. I'm Schnett, the representative of the Wizards Guild."

Sol immediately understood what was going on. No wonder the Adventurer's Guild was so nervous. It turned out that the Magician's Guild had come to negotiate a private deal.No wonder, what is more attractive to magicians than the two magic cores of super monsters?

After greeting everyone, Schnett immediately said straight to the point: "I'm here this time to discuss a private deal with Mr. Zhang Anbu." It can be seen that he is also quite impatient.

"What is it?" Saul decided to listen to his advice.

After hesitating for a while, Schnett said shyly: "Mr. Zhang Anbu must be very clear about what the two magic cores in your hand mean to a magician. I am here on behalf of the guild. Hand over the two magic cores to us, of course, no matter what request you have, the Mage Guild will wholeheartedly fulfill it for you."

As expected, Thor thought to himself.The Mage Guild is no less influential and powerful than the Adventurer's Guild, and of course the other party doesn't want to watch the magic core fall into the hands of others.

Before he could answer, Schnett said eagerly again: "If you agree to our request, in addition to completing your commission, we will also grant you the qualification of a lifelong honorary member of the Wizards Guild, and any consumption in any magic store in the future will be paid by you." Enjoy [-]% off, plus a quarterly draw…”

"Stop! Stop!" Seeing that his words were getting more and more out of line, Sol hurriedly interrupted him.I want this honorary membership to be useless. There are a lot of unscrupulous merchants in my era who can sell this kind of consumption trap.

Seeing his hesitation, Schnett thought that Sol was worried, and said again: "Please believe in the strength of our guild, unless it is something like slaying a dragon, there is nothing we can't accomplish."

Sol couldn't help smiling wryly, I just want to slay the dragon, facing a dragon that is almost immune to magic, no matter how much you magicians are, it's just a piece of cake.What's more, compared to your [-]% discount, it is still a good deal to cooperate with the Adventurer's Guild.

"We have entrusted the Adventurer's Guild, even if we agree to your request, I'm afraid it will be hard to explain to them?" Jessica said at this time.

Schnett immediately slapped his chest firmly and assured: "You don't have to worry about this, our guild will be in charge of mediating, and I promise not to cause you any trouble."

"So, you mean..."

Sol pretended to be difficult and shook his head: "I'm sorry, my family motto is to be honest, so I can't help you with your guild's request. Of course, if you are interested in participating in the tournament and winning the championship in the end, the magic The nuclear will still be yours."

Schnett showed an undisguised disappointment: "It's a pity, I hope you think about it again. If you change your mind, you can find me at the office of the Magician's Guild in the city."

As soon as Schnett left, the officials of the Adventurer's Guild rushed in.When he learned that Sol did not agree to the other party's request, he laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyes, and praised Sol as the best customer.

Sol also laughed along with him, but he muttered to himself: You can have fun, and when the tournament is over and I abscond with the money, I won't be able to laugh anymore.

****************************************************************************************
A few days later, the construction of the martial arts arena was finally completed. After two days of preparation, the registration began immediately.

Sol had expected many people to attend, but he hadn't expected this many.From the first day, the registration site was crowded, as if all the adventurers from Dinar flocked to Ferry City. Of course, what followed was the rapid increase of gold coins. Seeing the registration fee collected Straight up, Saul was in a state of smiling for three whole days.

And the audience ticket office on the other side also had a big harvest, with [-] seats sold out in an instant.Many people bought the game tickets for a few days together, which made Saul regret it. If he had known that the citizens of Ferry City were so rich, he should have doubled the price.

On the afternoon of the last day, Sol, who was bored, took Jessica to the registration office to sit idle.Almost all the people signed up two days ago, so the registration office at this time seemed deserted.

While chatting with the staff at the registration office, Sol suddenly saw Rulert and his party walking over.

There were four of them in total, apart from Rulet and Meine who had met, there were also two men dressed as archers and magicians.When he came close, Rulet greeted Sol and handed him a small bag of gold coins.

"Are you going to participate too?" Saul was a little surprised.

Luret scratched his hair and said with a smile: "We also want to try our luck."

Sol secretly screamed that it was not good. He had found out these days that Ruret had quite a reputation among adventurers.In addition to managing and issuing commissions, the Adventurer's Guild also has its own team of adventurers, and their strength is above the national level. The Rulert group is one of the best.

Although his team has only four people, all of them are first-class players in their respective professional fields, and their strength is extraordinary.Although it has only been established for a few years, it has completed many challenging tasks and is deeply relied on by the Adventurers' Guild.If the other party also participates and wins the championship, wouldn't his plan to roll money be aborted halfway.

Seeing Sol's strange face, Rulert said strangely: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, what's wrong with you?"

Sol was taken aback, and quickly changed the subject: "Who are these two?"

Luret didn't hesitate to have him, and introduced: "This is Cardo, this is Laris, and they are all my partners. They were there that night, but they didn't show up."

Taking this opportunity, Saul also carefully looked at the other two members.Cardo is an archer, he is carrying a big black bow, his eyes are piercing.What is striking is that this person has a pair of elf's pointed ears, but with a blue stubble on his face, he is obviously a half-elf.

Seeing Sol looking at himself, he showed a friendly smile.

Another magician named Laris is even more obedient. He has extremely striking snow-white long hair, a handsome face, sharp features like ancient Greek sculptures, and clear blue eyes without any impurities.But it's a pity that his expression was as cold as ice, and he stood there wearing a blue and black mage robe, with an appearance of rejecting people thousands of miles away.

Long white hair, extremely cool handsome guy, this look is really vulgar, Sol thought maliciously.But then he realized depressedly that if he compared appearance, he might not be able to catch up with the other party, and if he compared strength, it would be even more difficult.

No, my protagonist has met a strong enemy. It seems that I can only compete with him in wisdom, but magicians seem to be very smart.Than character?I may not be able to win, the idea is tricky...

Just as Saul was thinking wildly, Jessica bumped into him.When he woke up, it was Rulert who was saying goodbye to him. Before going in, he had to familiarize himself with the arena first.

After sending Ruret and others away, the registration office welcomed several batches of adventurers.Seeing that it was getting late, when Sol was about to order the end of the registration, he suddenly looked at the opposite side like a fool.

I saw a girl with an enchanting face and an extremely hot figure, walking slowly from across the street.She is about 20 years old at most, but she has an almost perfect devil's figure, plump and well-fitting, with slender legs. When she walks, as her body twists and turns, there is a wave of dizzying waves.

Her facial features are not as refined as Marlene and Jessica's, but she has a wild temptation that makes people's blood pumping, and her blue curly hair hangs down behind her.What's more terrible is the clothes on her body. I don't know if it's the original style or it's damaged. It's only tight to cover the important parts. A pair of beautiful legs are almost completely exposed, and white skin is exposed on the shoulders.

Unaware of her crime-inducing attire, the girl strolled slowly on the street, looking around curiously, as if she had come to the city for the first time.All the men on the street stared blankly at this stunner, and from time to time passers-by just stared and bumped into the wall as they walked.

A group of adventurers at the registration office were also dumbfounded. A few guys who were signing were looking around, and the pens in their hands were messing up the paper.Just as Sol's soul flew into the sky, there was a sudden sharp pain in his waist, but Jessica with an angry face put an elbow on his waist.

At this time, the beautiful woman had already walked to the left, and she was talking to herself with a confused face: "It's strange, it's obviously nearby, where is it?"

"Sister, please let me be your dog."

Suddenly, the classic quotes from Senior Yokoshima whom he admired flashed through his mind. This was the first of the ten sentences Sol wanted to say most in his life.But with Jessica at the side, he still didn't dare to speak out.

A self-proclaimed adventurer walked up: "Beautiful lady, is there anything I can do for you?"

The girl looked at the mercenary, then at the people at the registration desk, and asked with great interest, "What are you doing here?"

"There will be a martial arts competition here, and the winner will win very precious prizes." Seeing the mercenaries taking the lead, a staff member said unwillingly.

"A prize?" The girl suddenly became excited: "Is it beautiful? Is it something shiny?"

"Uh..." the staff was speechless.Those two magic cores are just precious, but they don't seem to have anything to do with words like beautiful and sparkling.

Saul couldn't be reconciled that his things were underestimated, let alone such a beautiful woman.He said triumphantly: "Miss, you are an amateur. That is the magic core of a top-level monster, something that countless people dream of."

"Magic core?" The girl's eyes lit up suddenly: "Are you serious?"

"Ah, of course."

"Where are they?" the girl asked eagerly.

"This...you need to win the game to get it, so..."

"A competition? I want to participate, how do I participate?"

Seeing that she seemed to regard the tournament as some kind of game, Sol shook his fingers: "Miss, this is not a joke. The competition is to defeat others, such as this guy..."

As he spoke, he pointed to a tall, burly, black-haired adventurer who looked like an orangutan. Seeing himself, that stupid guy proudly puffed up his chest muscles with a D-cup.

"Is it enough to just defeat such a person?" The girl didn't seem to care.

"Uh, yeah..."

"Then I want to participate."

Saul shrugged. According to regulations, anyone can participate as long as they pay the registration fee, so there is no reason to refuse her.But presumably no one would push such a beauty hard, she would naturally retreat in the face of difficulties during the competition.

He had no choice but to point to the registration office and said, "Pay 20 gold coins, and you can participate."

The girl looked embarrassed: "But I don't have any gold coins."

Before the words were finished, several adventurers over there were scrambling to pay for their pockets, obviously preparing to be a hero to help the beauty.Unexpectedly, what the girl said next surprised everyone.

From nowhere, she took out a diamond as big as a thumb and put it on the table: "I didn't bring that thing with me when I came out. I heard that this kind of thing is very valuable here. Is it worth 20 gold coins?"

It was so shocking that no one could hear that there was something wrong in the girl's words.A staff member took a look at the diamond and nodded hurriedly: "Of course, it's worth at least..."

"Then I will sign up." The girl said happily.

"What's your name?" the officer asked.

"Berna, Elebena."

"Hee hee hee hee..." Sol hid aside and covered his mouth desperately. The diamond was worth at least a few thousand gold coins.

At this time, the girl named Elebena asked casually: "Where did such a precious magic core come from?"

A staff member pointed to Saul, whose face was beaming with joy: "It belongs to Mr. Zhang Anbu."

"Huh?" A strange smile appeared on Elebena's face: "Is it yours?"

Feeling a little strange, Sol nodded: "It's my family heirloom."

"Hee hee." She suddenly reached out and touched Sol's face: "You are very cunning."

Watching Elebena leave blankly, Saul was still reminiscing about the slippery feeling on his cheek.Jessica suddenly came up behind him: "There's something wrong with this woman."

Sol frowned: "Don't always be suspicious, okay, don't you envy that her breasts are bigger than yours?"

"You..." Jessica turned livid with anger, as if recalling the embarrassment of that night, she punched Sol in the eyes: "You idiot, I don't care about you!"
