Chapter 519: Even if we don't know each other (11)
The Dayette Mercenary Regiment has many locations, the most recent of which is in the slums of Morsoblay City.
Licky bit her lip and wrapped herself in a wide cloak, stepping into the slum's resident cavern.
The mercenaries stationed in the cave saw their usually grumpy boss and immediately made a way to watch the grumpy part-time priest step into the depths of the cavern.
In normal times, Leckie would be satisfied with his position in the Dayette mercenary group. But at a time when his consciousness was being eroded by the "Kiss of Mosobra", he would rather have a sycophant run over to help him.
The poison "Kiss of Mosobra" is said to have come from Mosobra, the founder of Mosobra City. The Drow priestess, who had been active for thousands of years, was favored by the Spider God and became a rare Rose Elector. In the same way, Mosobra also perfectly inherited Rose's distorted view of the sexes-
In the early days of the city's existence, Morsobra and her followers even forced the city-state's Drow mages (all males, of course) to have nowhere to live. Desperate, the Drow mages gathered in a corner of Morsobre City to perform a terrible magical ritual. Many drow mages extracted the rich underground magic of the dark region and created a terrifying explosion.
The explosion destroyed many of the Drow mages, as well as the most fanatical group of priestesses who believed in the Spider God, and left a huge pit in the city of Morsoblay, which is now Lake East Nigadon on the east side of Morsoblay. Some people even believe that Mosobra himself was seriously injured in this conflict, so he let the relatively neutral Ban Rui family sit back and reap the benefits, and eventually became the most important ruling family in Mosobra City.
But because of the deaths of so many of the Drow mages, Morsobra had to replenish the city's male population, especially the high-ranking mages, whose powers could compensate for the lack of priestesses. As a result, Mosobra, who was proficient in alchemy and potion concoction, left such a poison recipe to control men.
In the drow society where poison is rampant, the kiss of Mosobra is also very special, whether it is an antidote or healing magic, it is difficult to have the desired effect, and if you try to use external forces to resist this poison, it will even cause serious damage to the mind and body. Leckie was able to hold on to the base of the Dayette Mercenary Regiment, thanks to the part-time priest who was extremely resistant to the various poisons prevalent in Drow society.
In the depths of the crypt, a well-guarded rest room is forever reserved for His Excellency the Noble Adjutant of the Dayette Mercenary Regiment, as well as all sorts of things that Leckie might useβsuch as stills and cauldrons for extracting venom, and blank scrolls of Looth's hides. Although the cautious ronin mage had never used them, the privilege of belonging to the lieutenant of the Dayette mercenary group often made the drow mage feel a sense of pleasure.
However, under the torture of Mosobra's kiss, just pulling out a small handful of dried dark purple mushrooms from the dark compartment under the wall almost drained Leckie's willpower. Forcing himself to swallow these obviously poisonous dried mushrooms drained Leckie of his last bit of strength.
Leckie has always prided himself on his talents, being both a powerful magician and an excellent priest, the elite of the Drow society's elite. However, he could not remove the complex toxicity of Mosobra's kiss, and could only resort to the most risky method.
Among the many fungal species in the Dark Regions, the poison of the purple robe mushroom has always been at the top of the list, but this rare poisonous mushroom is also the product of magical radiation in the Dark Regions. As a result of the magical radiation, the purple-robed mushrooms produce a special magical field in which almost all fungi cannot survive properly, and the toxins they are proud of are also neutralized. Even those walking mushrooms, human-faced mushrooms, and even mushrooms that have evolved into lower social forms with a little intelligence will be expelled by the special magic of the purple-robed poisonous mushroom.
Leckie could only gamble, the poisonous mushroom used in Mosobra's kiss was also within the restraint range of the purple robe mushroom, and the pinch of purple robe mushroom that Leckie swallowed was less than the dose that was immediately lethal.
But even Leckie, whose anti-poison ability far exceeded the average level, finally couldn't hold on anymore under the toxin of the purple-robed poisonous mushroom and fainted.
Just as the ronin mage collapsed to the ground, a faint glimmer of light shone from the stone wall of his well-guarded common room, and his old nemesis, Kim Murray Obroza, walked through the stone wall like a real ghost to the ronin mage.
Glancing thoughtfully at his old rival Leckie, Kim Murray leaned down and muttered in a low voice, "Your luck is good, very good, Leckie." β
......
.........
The leader of the Dayette mercenary group, Jalaso, is not a diligent drow elf, and it should be said that this good-looking but cynical mercenary leader has a fun-seeking mentality in everything he does. However, this careless attitude turned the Dayette mercenary group into a powerful force independent of many noble families in Mosoblay City, and even made the ruling families tolerate this deviant mercenary group.
When Kim Murray thought about it, he wondered how much skill Jarraso had played in it.
But in front of Jalaso, the psyker who had escaped from the Obroza family only bowed respectfully and sent the information he had gathered every day to the bald leader.
His gaze swept over Jalaso's dark blindfold, and Kim Murray still stood aside in a submissive adjutant stance. The leader of the Dayette mercenary group didn't seem to notice that his adjutant once again wanted to use his spiritual power to penetrate the barrier of the psychic protection eye shield, and his gaze fell on Jin Murui's face:
"Looks like my lovely Adjutant Number One is in a good mood today, and it looks like you're having a good bedtime, but you should have called Leckie up too. β
"Psykers never need to sleep, just a moment of meditation. Kim Murray corrected his boss in a serious manner.
Jalaso found a clue in Kimmurray's words, and the mercenary leader let out a happy laugh, and then waved his hand: "Okay, I will never interfere in the private lives of the cute lieutenants, but the little spider I raised is almost back in the spider's nest?"
Through the skylight behind Jalaso's desk, Kim Murray saw the magical bell "Nabondel's Pillar" standing in the center of Morsoblay City, and the heat generated by the magical flame was climbing along the stone pillar to the highest point, which meant that it was almost noon on the surface.
Jin Murray nodded: "The city defense inspection team of the Obroza family and the business travel inspection team of the Traba family are both stationed at the entrance of the city, but it is not certain which family obtained the goods. β
The mercenary leader played with the gemstone paperweight on the table and waved his hand indifferently: "As long as you can afford to pay the price, there is no difference between the remuneration of the third and fourth families. β
