Chapter 349: Deliverance
Quiet, the whole square is silent. No one expected that a masked mage would emerge in this situation, and that he would want to take the dark elf who was about to be burned to death. Now standing on a high place, the man in chain mail is in a dilemma, if he hands it over, then his incitement just now will be in vain, if he doesn't hand it over, it means a direct confrontation with Am's strongest organization. Although the choice is still in hand, it has actually been forced into a corner.
Henry noticed the malicious eyes of several people around him, and immediately whispered to Oroxes and Ortagos beside him: "Be careful, if these people plan to do something, rush up and kill them all for me immediately." ”
"Hey, rest assured, great hosts. These two weapons can't wait to get bloody. I could even hear them moaning low, which was a great feeling. There was a hint of intoxication on the black dragon's face, and his hands gently caressed the "sacred offerings" and "contempt for virtue" hanging around his waist.
Seeing it like this, Henry frowned slightly. You must know that these two weapons are made by a demon lord, and they completely integrate a series of negative feelings such as hatred, tyranny, and cruelty. Any user will be tempted inadvertently, and it is not impossible to fall into madness if you can't hold it back.
Judging from the current state of Oloxes, it is clear that it has been affected, which is not a good sign. Especially since this guy's profession is still a berserker, once the rage is activated, I am afraid it is difficult to say whether he can distinguish between the enemy and the enemy. He didn't want the situation to get out of hand, killing a mob was one thing, but killing people was another.
Under Henry's stern gaze. The black dragon quickly regained consciousness. And take both hands away from the weapon. It wiped the beads of sweat from its forehead. Hurriedly explained in a low voice: "I'm very sorry, I was accidentally affected by the weapon. Rest assured, this will not happen a second time in the future. ”
"It's good to know, if there's another time, I don't mind giving you a good memory. Remember, weapons are just tools, and the user is the master of them. ”
In fact, dragons are very powerful souls, and they are rarely tempted by magical items. It's just that Oroxes is not yet an adult, and he is also a member of the evil camp. So I didn't watch out too much for this subtle influence. With this reminder, there will be no more similar situations in the future.
"Master, if something happens in a while, I will rush to Miss Amelia's side as soon as possible, and I will definitely not go wrong at a critical moment like some idiot." After saying that, Otagos squinted his eyes and glanced at his nemesis, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly to reveal a mocking expression.
The two guys have been fighting each other for so many years, and basically they know what they mean immediately with just one look at each other. However, even if Oloxes hated it so much, he didn't dare to refute it now. Otherwise, it is likely to be greeted with severe punishment. They all have a general understanding of the temper of their new master, and obediently obey orders and say anything. Once it is discovered, there are small actions behind it. Then you will immediately be put on the "Mithril Chain of Sorrow" and enjoy the pleasure of electric shock and feces and urine flowing together.
The man in the chain mail struggled for a long time, and finally chose to refuse. He felt that if he was threatened by a woman in public, how could he mess around in Ascatla's land in the future. Perhaps most of the gangsters and thugs are of this virtue, and they don't know how much trouble they are getting into.
Viconia closed her eyes in despair. Her voice was already hoarse, and no matter how desperately she tried to explain that she was just a passing traveler, none of the onlookers believed her. No way, the reputation of the dark elves on the surface is so stinking that it can be equated with demons. Even the devil is stronger than the drow in the minds of the people, at least they are willing to keep the contract.
"So, you're planning to go against the Masked Mage's Guild? Aren't you afraid that I'll call for support? Amelia swept her cold gaze over the approaching fellows, not paying any attention to them. Although her spell casting level is not high, only level five, she has quite a lot of combat experience, otherwise she would not have been sent to attack the mage tower.
"Against the masked mage? No, no, no. We are just a bunch of people determined to take revenge on the dark elves, and we don't want anyone to interrupt the trial. The man in the chain mail was obviously not stupid, and immediately gave himself a grand excuse.
Amelia had long recognized this guy, a well-known mob leader in the city of Aslatla, a frequent visitor to the prison, and a favorite favorite to threaten ordinary people who had no ability to resist with violence. She didn't plan to talk nonsense, she was ready to use spells to kill all these guys in front of her, and the guards wouldn't care if they lived or died anyway.
Almost everyone in the continent of Faeron knows that when mages put their hands into the spellcasting kit, it means that the battle is about to begin. The thugs were the first to see this signal of war, and they all drew their weapons, their eyes full of nervousness and unease. While they are very good at fighting and brawling, this is the first time they have dealt with a spellcaster.
Seeing that a battle was about to begin, the crowd of onlookers ran clean in a matter of seconds. Henry knew that he could do it, and immediately made a vague look, and the two humanoid dragons rushed forward without saying a word. Oloxes picked up the "sacred sacrifice" and smashed it at a thug, only to hear a "poof", and his whole head was like a rotten tomato that had been stepped on, his brain was scattered and scattered, and two eyeballs also collapsed.
The thugs were stunned, they didn't expect anyone to attack from behind. The black dragon smirked, and with his hand, he split the other guy in half. With the sharpness of "contempt for virtue" and its own immense strength, even the hardest skull did not hinder in the slightest. Such a bloody and violent scene that even the guards who stood from a distance and watched were startled. You must know that this is a vertical split of the living, and judging from the condition of the deceased, even the spine has been split in two.
"Poor bugs! Are you ready to die? Hahaha! Oroxes laughed maniacally and rushed into the crowd to create a storm of flesh and blood. The ordinary chain mail and leather armor of the thugs had no protection at all, and there were soon many mutilated corpses on the ground.
Otagos's fighting style is distinctly different from that of his nemesis, preferring more on surprise attacks and one-hit killing. There were several guys who ran away, only to have their throats cut off by the dagger that suddenly appeared behind them on the way. Amelia only had time to release two "magic missiles" before the battle was over.
Henry silently pulled up his hood to cover his face, and then pretended to step forward and announce loudly: "See! This is what happens to the Masked Mage Guild! With that, he cut the rope with his dagger and picked up Viconia, who had fallen into a coma.
I have to say that the queen of poisonous tongues is in really bad physical condition, not only is she a little dehydrated, but her wounds are also inflamed. Judging by her sunken eye sockets, she hadn't eaten anything for at least five days. If it weren't for my tenacious will to survive, I'm afraid I would have been tortured to death a long time ago.
"Master, those pesky little mice have been killed." Octagos wiped the blood from his dagger and whispered.
"Well done, not a single enemy has been spared. Let's go, I don't want to be recognized. With that, Henry briefly treated Viconia, then picked her up and walked towards the Ronore family's mansion in the district. I believe that after such a long time, the council should have cleaned the inside.
Maybe the healing magic worked, or maybe the survival instinct was too strong, and the Queen of Poisonous Tongue woke up on the way. The first thing she did when she opened her eyes was struggling to get to her feet, her eyes full of wariness and distrust.
Henry knew that the dark elf woman had been betrayed many times on the surface and nearly lost her life, and that current reaction was nothing more than a reflex and self-preservation. He whispered to Viconia's ear, "Relax, if we had malicious intentions, we wouldn't have saved you from the thugs just now." ”
"Why save me? What is the purpose? ”
Although she is no longer struggling, the vigilance of the Queen of the Poisonous Tongue has not been lowered at all. Because every dark elf knows from the moment he is sensible that there is no free lunch in the world, and if someone treats you well for no reason, then he must have an ulterior purpose.
Henry knew that without a convincing reason, the dark elf woman would always be on guard against herself. He had no choice but to lean over again and whispered, "I'm planning to go to the Dark Regions in a while, so I need a qualified guide." ”
Well, that's a pretty compelling reason. I owe you my life, so from now on my power is yours, and I can use it for as long as I want. Also, my name is Viconia. Devo is a pastor. Humans, what about you? ”
As a dark elf, Viconia never trusts anyone lightly. When she asked the question just now, she quietly performed a "lie detection", and only relieved her mind after confirming that the other party was telling the truth. If it weren't for the pursuit of Goddess Rose, she wouldn't want to come to this damn surface.
Hearing that the Queen of the Poisonous Tongue directly reported her full name, Henry knew that he had gained initial trust. So he also gave his full name: "My name is Henry." Dragonrider", but you'd better omit the string after the name to avoid unnecessary trouble. ”
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be a celebrity. Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret. "Viconia had only recently run from Baldur's Gate to Amm, so she was familiar with the name. Since the other party has a good reputation, she really doesn't worry much about her safety now. (To be continued......)
