Chapter 502: Behind the Invitation and the Tragedy
After all of them returned to normal, a smile appeared on Kaidong's face. As a paladin, he enjoyed the sense of accomplishment that came from helping others. Although it is a pity that the circus does not see it, it is very gratifying to see so many people saved.
Suddenly, an elven girl with a very innocent and lovely appearance shouted at an old gnome, "Uncle Querry! Thankfully, you're fine. ”
"Hah! I knew that Carla was going to end up with the consequences. I'm glad he looked down on me so much, otherwise I would probably have been executed like everyone else. The old dwarf, known as Queri, shook the dust off his clothes and said. He didn't look flustered at all, and his composure didn't look like a man who had escaped death at all.
"Querry? This name sounds familiar. Yao stood aside and muttered to himself. He was clearly searching his memory, trying to find a clue.
Querry subconsciously glanced back when he heard someone say his name, and then ran over with open arms. "Yao! Is it really you? ”
"Damn! I remember, you're Quicy! My old friend," Yao En's face showed a look of sudden realization. Then he opened his arms and the two hugged each other warmly. It seems that the two of them not only know each other, but also have a good relationship.
Henry was not interested in listening to the whispers between the two gnomes, but stood by and quietly observed the elven girl with long blond hair. She looked very young, with delicate facial features and a slender figure, and should only be about a hundred years old in appearance. For elves, this is still a minor, which is equivalent to about sixteen years old for humans.
No doubt. This is Alley, who appeared as an ogre just now. She is a priest and mage by profession. Very powerful combination. In the later stages of the game, she is known as the Queen of the Sequencers (which refers to the use of special spells such as spell sequences, spell activations, and accidental chains, and a mixture of high-level magic and magic that can unleash massive damage in an instant).
Of course, at present, it is still far away, after all, to be able to really play the strengths of these two professions, you need at least seven or more magic and divine arts, and when converted into a professional level, it is almost fourteen or five or above.
Although he was beautiful and had a high training value, Henry did not plan to recruit him into the team. After all, the next adventure is quite dangerous. It's too easy to have an accident with a girl who doesn't understand the world. Especially this person's personality is a little self-pitying, and he likes to meddle in things, which is really a bit out of his temper.
After the two dwarf uncles muttered a lot, they finally finished nagging their homework. Querry put his arm on Yao's shoulder and said to Henry with a smile on his face, "Hey, friend, I heard that your adventure party is just short of someone, how about bringing Alley with you?" She's a good priest and mage and will definitely be able to help on the trip. ”
"Uncle Querry, why...... Why let me go? I...... I can't live without you at all. Alley's face had a panicked look on her face. Ever since she was trafficked into the circus, she has been living with this old dwarf. There is an instinctive fear of the outside world.
Querrey smiled with relief and persuaded, "My child, you are still young. Don't waste your life here, go out and see more, maybe one day you can find your way home again. I know you hate circuses, so leaving is the best option. Don't worry, Yao Endu told me just now, these people are quite good, and they are also capable of taking care of you. ”
Under the old gnome's persuasion, Alley visibly hesitated. She asked, somewhat uncertainly, "Is it really possible?" I...... I don't know what will happen in the future. Maybe...... Maybe it's better to go out and have a look, but what about you, Uncle Querry? ”
"Me? Hahaha, don't worry, I can take care of myself. And leaving doesn't mean never coming back, this is your home, as long as you are tired and tired, you can come back at any time. As he spoke, Quary stretched out a hand and touched the elven girl's long hair. To him, Alley is like his own daughter.
Seeing that the scene was becoming more and more sensational, Henry felt that he could not wait any longer, otherwise he might not even be able to say no if he continued to continue. He touched his nose and coughed deliberately.
"Ahem...... Cough...... Sorry to interrupt you, both. However, my squad is not recruiting new members for the time being. Because the ultimate goal of our adventure is to hunt down a woman named Joan. A legendary mage of Irenikas, he is not only very powerful, but also extremely evil and cruel. Since this elf lady has never experienced a real battle at all, so forget it. ”
"Uh...... In that case, there is no way to do it. Querrey sighed regretfully. He clearly didn't anticipate this and was a little caught off guard.
Keep in mind that Priests and Druids are very popular most of the time, and few Adventure Troopers or Mercenary Groups will turn them down. After all, it is inevitable that you will be seriously injured in battle, and if you have a healing magic at this time, you may be able to survive. Mages are equally popular, as the right amount of magic at a critical moment can make the fight incredibly easy.
Henry glanced at Alley, who was standing in place at a loss, and shook his head with a smile. It's hard to imagine how this timid character can fit into the bloody life of an adventurer. Not to mention killing people, it's a bit difficult to kill an animal now.
After thinking about it for a few minutes, he felt that maybe he should give this innocent and kind elf girl a chance. As the academy district of Bluvent City is still short of staff, Alley can teach his apprentices more advanced magical knowledge while training them at the same time, which may be of real use after a few years of training.
Thinking of this, Henry quickly took out a piece of parchment and quickly wrote a letter of recommendation, and then said to Querry, "Although we can't go on adventures together, I can still help if I go out for a walk." Take this with you and head north to Belgoust to take an airship to the Angome Islands, where there is a pretty good academy. This winged elf lady could try to be an assistant tutor for a while, and she could also continue her studies in magic and theology, killing two birds with one stone. ”
"Really? I...... Can I become a teacher? Alley had a delightful look on her face. It seems that she really doesn't like fighting and killing very much, but is full of yearning for civilian jobs such as research.
"That's right. With your mage and priest ranks, you can do the job well. But the character...... It also needs to be tougher. You know, most of the younger apprentices are mischievous. It's hard to control without majesty. Of course. This is just a matter of building, and it's up to you how to choose. We also rushed to lunch, and we will see you later. After saying that, Henry smiled and waved his hand. He's done everything he can, so what's going to happen in the future.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a little girl about ten years old suddenly ran out of the corner. She held a brass oil lamp in her hand and whispered, "I...... My name is Mira, and I have a very important thing to tell you, which is about Kara. ”
"Oh? What's the matter, it can't be because Kara made a wish to this magic lamp, right? Ammon crouched down and asked in a half-joking tone. She obviously didn't think a little girl could do anything important.
The girl nodded very seriously: "Yes! I saw Carla buy it from a merchant named Jeff at the Garden Inn in the City Gate District. It is said that if you make a wish, your dreams will come true! Kara must have used this thing to cast a terrifying illusion. But it seems to have run out of power, and I've tried many things since I stole it, but it didn't work at all. ”
"Really? Let me take a look. As he spoke, Henry took the bronze lamp from the girl's hand. As soon as he got his hands on it, he keenly felt a strange fluctuation of magic. It is now almost certain that it is a magic item, although the details are not well understood, but it looks like a cursed item from Kara's fate.
Sheena was the first to notice Henry's cautious expression and cautious movements, and immediately asked curiously, "Is this really a magic item?" ”
"Well, it looks like we're going to have to talk to this merchant named Jeff. Just right, you can stop by for lunch. Henry replied with a playful smile. He found a trace of the hands and feet of the beast and ghost in it. It seems that there should be some very interesting things behind the scenes.
"There's no going to be a fight, right? I'm going to take my wife and children with me. Caton asked, a little worried.
Henry took out dozens of gold coins and handed them to the little girl, and replied, "Don't worry. I'm not going to give it any shots. ”
"Thank you, you are such a generous gentleman." After the little girl got the money, Science bowed, then turned around and ran into the crowd and disappeared. That's a lot of money for her, and it's best to find a hidden place to hide it.
"It? You're actually using it! Damn, this guy should be a monster, right? Yao En was the first to notice the words he had just used, and jumped up screaming. It has to be said that the dwarf is quite gifted in language, and it is easy to spot something unusual in a conversation.
Kaidong was slightly stunned, and hurriedly asked nervously: "What kind?" The Devil? I would never let my wife and children get near such a dangerous and evil monster. ”
"Don't be nervous, my friend, it's nothing more than an evil beast and ghost merchant. It may be a deadly enemy for the average adventurer, but we can easily subdue it. Henry smiled and comforted. With his current terrifying strength, it would be too easy to deal with an enemy like the Evil Beast Ghost. Although these guys are very immune to magic, they can't make any waves under the deterrence of the "Time Stop" spell.
"So you're going to the Garden Inn next? Yes, I just kind of miss the taste of the chicken burritos. Let's go, my stomach immediately started rumbling. After saying that, Sheena took the lead and walked out of the circus tent. As a Juggernaut, she also has a very small percentage of body fat, so she is particularly prone to hunger.
The group quickly left the circus and headed in the direction of the city gate district. As for the loot on Kara's body, Henry was not even interested in taking a look. He was so confident in the spells he cast that even a few ordinary magic items had been blown up to waste, and they were completely useless.
