Chapter 353: Regaining its Glory
The team made no stop at Oak Town, and arrived at Maple Grove at noon the next day.
Tree Cave Lodge.
In a very pristine inn, Charles meets the dragonborn paladin Balasa, who has been absent for a long time.
Balasa was cloaked in a cloak and his burly body weighing hundreds of pounds pressed against a stump chair, and he raised his wooden wine glass to smile at the priest who had just entered the hotel.
He handed over the heavy horse to the innkeeper, and as for Zeke, the wolf, he lay out of the door in a witty way. After all, Comanso was not a peaceful place like Cormier, the people were fierce, accustomed to life and death, and although the hotel attendants cast frightened glances at the wolf lord, they did not scream and fled, and soon calmed down.
“…… That's your mount? Charles sat down, and the first thing Barraza said was about Zeke. His lizard-like face exuded a look of amazement, "Seat wolf, but not ordinary seat wolf, elite mount or lord mount?" ”
"See for yourself." Charles waved for the waiter and shared Zeke's card with Barazar.
The beautiful elf maid came over, and the green silk skirt she wore on her body was very flattering, and the gold flowed down, and her blue pupils were full of friendly smiles.
"Distinguished guest, what do you need?"
"Food and drink." Charles tapped his fingers on the wooden table, "Please have some of your store's signature pieces." ”
What he meant was to serve some good quality food, and the inferior rough food for ordinary mercenaries and adventurers was not suitable for the few people at the table.
"Welcome to the Tree Cave Lodge." The elf's blue eyes swept around Charles, and she smiled and walked away.
"Sure enough, it's the lord's seat wolf......"
After reading Zeke's information, Barraza couldn't help but give a thumbs up and said, "If only other players brought such a mount." I'm definitely skeptical, jealous. But it won't be put on you. Because you can tame more powerful pets. ”
"Think so highly of me?"
Charles chuckled. Introduce Barraza to the two Aboriginal NPCs, Miss Noble and Female Blood.
First of all, Miss Aristocracy.
“…… Casey. Carol, a Warlock by profession, and as for her identity, you can think of her as a member of the Native of 'Nordasil'. ”
"The other one, Mahi. Simon, non-human, vampire, my only retinue at the moment. ”
"Chaos goodness?" Barasa first discerned the camp of the aristocratic maiden at a glance. Then he frowned and stared at the female bloodline hidden in the black cloak, "Order and evil? ”
If it had been a month ago, when Charles had just met Balasa, with the tenacious nature of this dragonborn paladin, he would not have been able to tolerate the [Orderly Evil] vampire sitting at the same table with him at this moment. But experience has changed people, not to mention that this vampire is still a follower of his friend, and is no longer technically an unrestrained evildoer.
The elf then brought the drinks and food.
A chic fruit platter, a jug of strong berry wine and four wine glasses, plus steaming meat dishes and crusts.
Charles had a piece of soft and hard bread dipped in ketchup. The aristocratic lady and Mahi poured the fruit syrup, and immediately pushed a cup in front of Barasa. Motioned for him to take his own chances.
Barasa shook his head helplessly and said in a low voice, "I've eaten it." You've come to Comanso, is there anything you need me to help with? ”
The Dragonborn Paladin asked very directly, and if it didn't interfere with his mission, Barraza was more than willing to help the foreign friend achieve his goal.
"I'm going to a place called 'Hill of Dawn', right in Comanso, do you know where it is?" Charles muttered as he chewed on a slice of bread.
"Hill of Dawn?" Balasa glanced at the priest's expression, and saw that he didn't seem to be joking, so he held his chin and thought carefully, and then shook his head for a while, and said in a deep voice: "The area of Comanso is too large, two or three times the size of Cormier, and the place name you are talking about is definitely not a large map, but a small coordinate in the map......"
"So you don't know where the Hill of Dawn is?" Charles drank a cup of fruit syrup and swallowed the contents of his mouth, grabbed the white towel cloth of the figure and wiped the corners of his mouth, frowned, and said, "This is difficult!" ”
Yes, it's hard.
As Barraza said, Comanso is a very large area, and it is very difficult to find a small place like the 'Hill of Dawn'. Although Charles was mentally prepared, the news that the 'Hill of Dawn' was in the misty area beyond the road and settlement still made his eyes gloomy.
"Let's go straight to Silvermoon City." The noble lady, who hadn't spoken for a day, suddenly said: "I don't need any secret methods to advance, if Lady Erastro accepts me, with her guidance, I can also quickly be promoted to the model rank!" ”
"No way!" Charles said flatly.
What a joke, the escort mission hanging in his quest panel right now is not a decoration, and if he can get around it, Charles would have hollowed out his mind back when he was Cormier.
After leaving Cormier, that mission transitioned to the second stage:
[Carol's Glory - Regaining the Glory of Yaling (2)]
[Description: You have been in contact with Cathy the Purifier. Carol has stepped out of the Purple Dragon Kingdom, and must follow the instructions of the old witch Mary to go to the 'Hill of Dawn' in Comanso, find out the ruins left by the ancient precursor Yaling, and help Carol's last bloodline regain the glory of the family! 】
[Failure Condition: Kathy. Carol died. 】
[Quest Reward: Unknown (Settlement at the end of this series of quests)]
[Mission Time Limit: None]
Rejected by the priest in a cold tone, Cathy lowered her head to eat with a pout, and stopped talking.
"The Charr, the church of Ogmar, the god of knowledge, does not have much power in Komanso, or rather, only a few scholars who have come spontaneously to study the ancient elven arts." Barasa's words were tactful.
Charles smiled and said, "You tell me directly, don't count on the church's intelligence network." ”
"I'm afraid you'll be sad." Barraza shrugged, and then sighed and said, "The strength of the Platinum Dragon God's church in Comanso is okay, but the church has been short of manpower recently......"
"Your church is also fighting the idea of Maple Grove?" Charles debunked Barraza's words.
"Ugh. Yes. Barasa was slightly stunned before admitting, and lowered his voice and said, "This time, not only did I and another human holy warrior come over, but there was also a second action team, led by the aboriginal exemplars. ”
"In Comanso, there are not many heroes in the ranks, and there are only three or four on the surface. One is the priest of the Elven Lord God Corellon, and the owner of this 'Tree Cave Inn'. ”
"The second is the halfling ranger who believes in Yodara, and she is the great mentor of the Comanso halfling players."
"The third is the Great Druid of Sivannas."
"The fourth is from the Drow elves, suspected heroes, and is said to be the leader of a certain clan."
Balasa paused, half-serious and half-joking: "The boss of our church is a half-heroic holy warrior, and there are only two exemplars under his hands, so you can think about it, the church has specially sent a exemplar this time, and he is determined to win Maple Grove Town." (To be continued......)
