Chapter 377: Atrium Gathering
With Jenn walking in, the group of honored nobles were obviously aware of his presence, and after seeing Jenn and Tinidel and Alice behind him, almost all of them were dazzled, and some even couldn't help but whistle, which immediately attracted a wave of dissatisfied eyes around them.
The nobles didn't seem to care, though, and soon Jenn saw a burly man with a bearded beard and a strong orc-like figure striding out of it, wearing a slightly shabby-looking armor and carrying a huge axe behind him. On the surface, it doesn't seem to be any different from the drunken adventurers in the tavern. However, Jenn saw at a glance that the armor worn by the man in front of him was the "Will of the Mountains and Rivers", which was a remarkable piece of legendary equipment, and it was rumored that people wearing the armor of the Will of the Mountains and Rivers would not be killed as long as they stood on the ground, and even if they were seriously injured, they would recover faster than ordinary people. This legendary equipment is the same as Jenn's Shadow Moon Sword, it is an existence born in other planes, and it is rumored that the Will of the Mountains and Rivers is a treasure created by the earth elves in the earth element world, and later I don't know how it spread to the main plane, but even Jenn didn't expect to see it here.
As for the giant axe he was carrying behind him, it was not ordinary, although it looked simple and simple, but from the dwarven inscription engraved on the axe, Jenn had already guessed the true identity of this giant axe -- the tooth of Aegis, which was rumored to be a weapon created by a certain king of the dwarven ancestors for his adopted barbarian son, which was not only indestructible, but also extremely sharp. It also has the ability to automatically return to the holder by calling.
The value of these two pieces of equipment alone is enough to buy a city.
And Jenn had already guessed the identity of the other party at this moment -- Carter the Fury. He is also quite famous as an adventurer in the Northlands, and he was able to earn the Templar Order. This is because Carter once assisted the Dwarven kingdom in the Northlands in repelling the Dark Elves' attempts to attack the surface army. It is rumored that he has now built a manor there and is the king of the mountain, but he didn't expect that he would come to mix the troubled waters.
In addition to Carter, Jenn saw a thief with half-elven blood wearing black leather armor squatting in a chair, bored with the dagger in his hand. The emerald green dagger carried a strange purple light in the darkness, and it looked extremely dazzling. And for this dagger, Jenn naturally knows a lot, this is a rare treasure from the elves, known as the "Green Blade". Just use this dagger in a place where there is a strong sense of nature. You can gain infinite invisibility abilities. On top of that, this dagger can also be used to enhance itself to a certain extent by performing the druid's natural arts, which can also be considered a very good legendary item.
And the half-elf who holds it should be the legendary "shadow killer" Noan. Unlike Carter, the "shadow killer" didn't have a good reputation at first. He was abandoned by his mother at birth, then grew up in the streets and later became a killer. Logically speaking, such a person should not have anything to do with the Templar, but then on a mission. He became acquainted with the Holy Maiden of the Temple of Elves, and then fell in love. The Holy Maiden was carrying an elven guard to stop an evil elven mage's deal with the netherworld. Later, after a great battle between the two sides, the elves wiped out all the lower realm armies summoned by the mage, and the mage himself was possessed by some high-ranking demon in the lower realm. In the end, the saintess sacrificed her life to cut off the power channel between the demon race and the lower realm, giving Noan the opportunity to completely kill the demon in the main plane.
And it is precisely because of this merit that he will become a decorated nobleman.
For the deeds of this half-elf. Jenn had also heard of it a long time ago, after all, although it was said that the demons were defeated in the main plane. Evictions are common. But it's another thing to really say that killing a demon is a different matter. You must know that most demons come to the main plane in the form of "being summoned". Even if they are killed, at most they will be greatly reduced in strength, and then they will be expelled from the main plane and return to the original world, and then they will not be able to re-enter the main plane for hundreds of years. But if you kill a demon, you'll have to start all over again.
It is obvious which is more serious, deportation or re-erasure.
Because of this, this matter was in a lot of trouble in the lower realm, and Jenn still remembered that many demon kings noticed this half-elf, but looking at him now, it seems that he is also living a very nourishing life, and he has not been bothered too much.
Jenn also saw a young man about his own age, but compared to the others. The young man looked a little submissive, he was wearing a large alchemist's robe, and it could be seen that he was wearing a lot of magic items. However, Jenn had no impression of this young man, probably a descendant of some family of decorated nobles.
Not many nobles came, and Jenn could understand that, not to mention how exaggerated the bard's boasting of those heroic legends was, in fact, many people were in a situation where they were either desperately trying to survive or only dying, and because of this, they were able to defeat those enemies and finally win. But this kind of thing is too much at once, unless you really like to take risks or have a need, who will risk your life again and again?
Not to mention that the rules of the Templar Order for the Honored Nobles themselves are very strict, and now that the Crane Continent is full of questions, whether there are a hundred of these Honored Nobles, and the number of them is even rarer.
Among the nobles who were honored, Carter had the largest number of people, about ten people, and the remaining young man and the half-elf thief were all alone, plus Jenn, Tinidel and Alice, there were less than twenty people at full range, which can be said to be the smallest force here.
"Yo, hello, young man."
Seeing Jenn coming, Carter first laughed and then greeted him. The other party was wearing a noble dress, obviously it couldn't be those paladins and a gang, so the only ones left were honored nobles like them. Carter didn't know Jenn though. But that didn't stop him from greeting each other. In fact, at this moment, in this group of people, he is also faintly led by him.
"Hello. Mr. Carter. ”
Hearing Carter's greeting, Jenn also stopped. Gracefully bowed to each other. Hearing Jenn's greeting, Carter was stunned.
"Oh? Do you know me? ”
"Of course, who doesn't know the hero of the Northland, Carter the Fury? You know, your legend is spread all over the Klein Continent. ”
To Carter's inquiry, Jenn replied with a smile. Hearing his answer, Carter scratched his cheek a little embarrassed, and then shrugged his shoulders.
"Gee, that little is a thing of the past. The heroes don't mention the courage of the year, my old bones are not as useful as they were back then. ”
As he spoke, Carter raised his head curiously, glanced at Tinidel and Alice beside Jenn, and couldn't help but show a look of envy.
"You kid is so blessed, you actually have such a beautiful beauty to accompany you......... Are you going to take them to the Wild West? I've heard it's dangerous. ”
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Jenn raised an eyebrow. He heard a lot of rumors along the way, but most of them were not true, and some people even thought that it was just some kind of natural phenomenon that was rare in a century. In fact, now Jenn doesn't know what the Wild West is to be seen from outside. Judging by the actions of the Templars, they may have been aware of the dangers, but the extent to which they understood them is unknown.
"What kind of danger law exactly?"
"I'm just hearsay, too."
For Jenn's inquiry. Carter pouted and spoke.
"They say that there is an eternal night, and that darkness covers everything. And most of the people who go in will go crazy. And monsters......... All in all, it sounds pretty bad. ”
Said here. Carter glanced at Tinidel again, and at this moment Her Royal Highness the princess was staring at him curiously--perhaps Tinidel had never seen such a human since he was so old.
"Are you sure you want to take these two pretty young ladies with you? I don't think that's a good idea. ”
"I believe in their quality."
Jenn glanced at the two female companions beside him. Tinidel he didn't have to worry, this princess had a lot on her mind, but she rarely spoke. Don't look at her now, just standing there quietly staring at the man in front of her, maybe her mind is spinning, "There are such tall men among humans?" "Why is he talking to us?" "This man speaks so loudly" "Isn't he afraid that we will laugh at his filthy dress?" Such inexplicable messy ideas.
As for Alice, not to mention, a perfect maid naturally knows when she should say something and when she should not say it.
"Tut-tut, look at you, this is really a nobleman."
Carter was noncommittal to Jenn's answer, narrowing his eyes, looking Jenn up and down, and then patting him on the shoulder with a smile.
"Well, yes, there's a shelf, and it's a little more aristocratic than the idiots I saw outside. I'll let you support us in a moment. Looking at the appearance of those paladins, they simply treat us like monkeys, hey, it's a pity that I don't think I'll be able to learn this thing in my life. ”
"It's an honor."
Hearing Carter's words, Jenn smiled slightly, and had to admit that this legendary hero does have his unique charm, although this kind of self-acquaintance is sometimes annoying, but perhaps because of this, he can gather so many companions around him to fight and work hard.
"Okay, don't say so much, come here, I'll introduce you to the others."
As he spoke, Carter put his arm around Jenn's shoulders and walked in the direction of the other two, and when he saw them approaching, the young man in the alchemist's robe hurriedly stood up tremblingly, while the half-elf thief glanced at them quietly and did not speak.
"This kid is Barty, don't look at him as weak, but he can be regarded as a hero. And he himself is also very good, he has become an alchemy master at a young age, so it can be said that he is a new star to wait and see. ”
"Hello, you."
Hearing Carter's introduction, the young man named Barty hurriedly nodded to Jenn a little shyly, and then he glanced at Tinidel and Alice with a red face, and then hurriedly turned his head away, looking like an innocent virgin.
"The one who looks taciturn is Noan, well, don't look at him like that, he's actually a good guy. By the way, let me introduce you to you, this is ..............."
It was only at this time that Carter seemed to remember that he didn't know the other party's name, and he looked at Jenn, and in the face of Carter's gaze, Jenn smiled slightly, and then nodded to everyone in front of him.
"My name is Jenn. Pashanonoms, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
Hearing the name, the half-elf's expression moved slightly, while Barty hurriedly nodded in response, only Carter was stunned for a moment, and then showed a contemplative expression.
"Jenn? It's a familiar name, I think I've heard it somewhere........."
But at this moment, there was a sudden commotion.
Jenn looked up, and saw that there seemed to be some kind of dispute among the paladins not far away, and one of the paladins quarreled with his colleagues, and then he pushed the other party away with a cold face, and then turned around and walked out of the crowd without hesitation.
This was not a big deal, but the corridor where the other party left was where Jenn and the others were standing, and the paladin didn't seem to pay attention to what was in front of him in a fit of rage. He walked straight away, and the young man named Barty happened to have his back to the paladin, completely oblivious to him. A "poof" was heard, and the next moment the paladin's shoulder slammed into Barty's forehead, causing the hapless man to fall to the ground. The other party did not turn back until this time, he glanced at the young man, then snorted coldly, and then planned to continue his own way.
But unfortunately, at this time, a figure appeared out of thin air and blocked the front of the paladin.
"I'm sorry to stand in your way, paladin."
Jenn stood in front with a smile on his face, staring at the paladin in front of him.
"But I suppose you owe that gentleman an apology?" (To be continued......)
