Chapter 92 The Messenger and the Mount
"Ms. Futaba." Xiluo didn't show much surprise. He just looked at the calm-looking girl in front of him calmly and said in a deep voice: "This is The trip is very dangerous..."
The chief of the Fire Claw Territory did not fail to consider the importance of witnesses. He also knew very well that if he brought the two Fenrir teams, Futaba and Motan, on this trip, Members will have a greater chance of winning, but there are great risks involved.
Perhaps the Marshall family will not blatantly do anything to the negotiation team sent by the Fire Claw leader in the Violet Imperial Capital, but two civilians without noble titles, especially those with witness status, will not let it go They had too many fears, Futaba and the two were too weak, and the Violet Imperial Capital, which was about to become the center of the storm, was too dangerous, and any small mistake could cost them their lives.
Those people did not dare to blatantly kill the Fire Claw nobles. After all, doing so would basically prove their guilt. However, the two civilian witnesses would not give the Marshall family any reason to be soft-hearted. As long as there is a chance, , they will never allow Futaba and Motan to walk out of the imperial capital standing upright.
"It seems that your mind is quite clear." Futaba was quite satisfied with Xiluo's reaction and said with a smile: "Of course I know that place is very dangerous for a little person like me."
The Great Chief Xiluo shook his head: "I don't intend to let you commit any crime." Risk, you two are friends of Mr. Ned, and you have never owed us anything, so I do not recommend that you go to the imperial capital with the envoy."
"You are not a qualified ruler. "Futaba shrugged and rolled his eyes: "That's bad. Comment."
Xi Luo sighed deeply: "Maybe. In fact, even if you two go, our chances of winning are not too great. After all, in the eyes of many people, the Fire Claw Leader actually It’s just a gathering place for barbarians.”
"I reserve my opinion on this..." Futaba pushed up his glasses slightly and said seriously: "Of course I have my own reasons for going, so please make preparations based on this. Of course, I don't Mind having a few more bodyguards or something.”
Mo Tan was no longer silent at this moment, walked up to Futaba and asked: "You didn't count me?"
The girl shook her head at him: "It's enough to go alone, this I suggest you keep busy with your own affairs for a while. If there is any problem with me, at least there will be a witness in the Fire Claw Territory."
"It seems that you have settled the matter." Mo Tan. He smiled bitterly and spread his hands towards her: "Okay, I have no objection."
Futaba's decision is undoubtedly wise. She is enough for the role of witness. After all, whether this girl is Her eloquence and adaptability are much better than that of 'Hei Fan', and as she said, if something unexpected happens, there will still be one witness left here.
Of course, Mo Tan also has his own plans in mind. After all, the only one who is not suitable to wade into this muddy water is 'Black Brahma'...
If his judgment is correct, the reason for the Marshall Territory is not just the slave trade, but as for how to operate it specifically, it is not what he needs to consider now.
"If you insist." Rhino nodded slightly to Futaba, then looked at the leader of the Fire Claw Shadow Force: "Cassie."
The other party bowed slightly to him in silence.
"Go back and pick a few confidants to protect Ms. Futaba after departure." Xiluo said solemnly: "Be sure to protect her."
Cassie nodded.
"Then it's up to you~" Futaba smiled at Cassie: "Brother Elf Cool."
"Beast Elf." Cassie said in a low voice: "I will do my best."
The two players who had always felt that this elf was a bit inconsistent suddenly realized that such a burly elf was indeed not a pureblood.
Just like half-elves are a mixture of elves and humans, half of the bloodline of beast elves naturally comes from orcs. Their advantages are more obvious. They have the physical fitness of orcs and the appearance of elves. However, the number is relatively small, and the reason for this will not be detailed here.
"Okay, then now is the second question." Futaba turned to Xiluo and asked: "Suppose the negotiations in the imperial capital failed and the noble tribunal did not make a fair ruling. And the Fire Claw Territory will be at an absolute disadvantage in the inevitable war. What is your retreat? You can’t just break up and divide your luggage, right?”
Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, Xiluo should not understand this principle, and Futaba can also understand to some extent from what everyone said just now that the Fire Claw Leader is not superior in combat effectiveness.
“We will ask for assistance from the Holy Mountain Sumir.” Xiluo replied: “It is located in the far north of the continent and is our clan’s holy land. Once the situation falls into an extreme disadvantage, the Fire Claw warriors will die in battle. The battlefield, but before that, we will protect the civilians to evacuate as safely and orderly as possible."
Futaba nodded noncommittally: "How to notify the other side? The far north of the mainland should be quite far away from here, right? Do you want to use the methods of the Mage Guild? "
"There is no Mage Guild in Sumir." Before Xiluo could answer this time, Lewen, who was not far away, immediately shook his head and said, "There is indeed a communication problem. It is an obstacle. Even if special messengers are arranged, they cannot communicate with each other simultaneously, and we are currently short of manpower."
The previous dwarf named Copper Handle glared at the dwarf mage leaning in the corner: " So, why aren’t you a space magician?”
"Why do I have to be a space magician?" The latter rolled his eyes.
"Because communication with the Holy Mountain is a problem now, idiot." Tongshan said.
Nigu, the leader of the Blood Flame Mage Group, was so angry that he blushed: "Why don't you die! Use space magic to maintain communication with the far north of the continent. Do you think I am a sage?!"< br>
"Ahem." Futaba suddenly coughed slightly, and then glanced at Mo Tan.
He immediately understood this and smiled at Xiluo: "Let me go, Lord Chief. Although my strength is relatively weak, I have some means to contact Futaba."
Xiluo was not pretentious and said immediately: "Okay, I will prepare enough supplies and a mount for you, and send a few warriors to accompany you."
He did not ask whether Mo Tan could follow What method did Futaba use to communicate with each other? After all, there are too many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense, not to mention that there are really not many ways that can be thought of now, so Xiluo chose to trust this friend of Ned.
“There’s no need to accompany me.” Mo Tan shook his head: “It’s more convenient for me to be alone.”
Xi Luo didn’t force it, he just nodded and said: “No problem, but Relying on the Holy Mountain is our last resort. You don’t need to rush. Protect yourself along the way.”
[You have accepted the side mission: Messenger, mission reward: 600 optional experience points]< br>
The system prompt sounded in Mo Tan's ears immediately, and the task content was to inform the Holy Mountain Sumir of the situation of the Fire Claw Territory within one month of game time.
"Then let us discuss the details next." Xiluo sat back in the center of the meeting hall and said solemnly: "We cannot act hastily, we need to be fully prepared."
Then...
With a slight headache, Mo Tan suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground directly in front of everyone!
……
Five hours later
[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect]
"Yes."
[Reconnection begins...]
[Connection completed, reading character information]
[Welcome back, lawful and kind Mo, will soon enter the realm of innocence, wish you a good night]
...The first outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain, the Grand Arena
< br>Mo Tan appeared in a luxurious lounge on the first floor of the arena, sitting on the bed in a daze.
What he wants to do most now is to immediately add a friend to the girl named Yu Chen, and then confirm with her whether there has been any change in the 'monster' that was captured before!
Obviously, he just experienced another nearly five-hour fragment, and his memory during this period was completely blank. No matter how he recalled it, he couldn't recall anything...
"But I can't ask now. In my case, I definitely can't. I told others." Mo Tan sighed helplessly: "Besides, I was offline in front of so many NPCs before. I don't know what the consequences will be. If I 'fainted' directly among those like last time. in front of people Well, if it turns into white light and disappears out of thin air, it will be a big trouble, and how will you explain it to Futaba later..."
He was extremely melancholy, but he did not choose to quit the game and switch personalities immediately. Then go online with 'Black Van'. After all, several hours have passed in the game. Even if there is trouble, going back now will not help, so I simply decided not to change it yet, and planned to call Futaba via email during the day tomorrow. Say hello.
So what should we do now?
Mo Tan was in the personal lounge of this arena when he offline as 'Mo'. At that time, Cordoba was unfortunately killed by Garfield Cat and Lu Wei came back soon. , and then sent him back to the first outer mountain. After that, Mo Tan wandered around for a while and then returned to the lounge where he was now to log off.
"By the way, let's take a closer look at the one Mr. Lu Wei gave us before..." Mo Tan muttered, then took out something that looked like a ball of wool from his bag and threw it to the ground.
As soon as the ball hit the ground, it began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it slowly grew its head and limbs!
Two seconds later...
"Hey!" A slow, chubby, furry, dull, fat sheep shouted at him, two black His small eyes flashed with a light blue halo.
[Luwei’s Self-Exploding Sheep]
Category: Mount
Quality: Common/Excellent
Ride: Movement speed increased by 0-20% (depending on the weight of the rider)
Special effects : Self-destruct
Use: Activate/deactivate/detonate your self-destructive sheep.
[Remarks: Reward of 1-5% of the reputation of Luwei Fitzir's class. This self-destructing sheep is one of Master Luwei's early works when he was young. Its original intention was to create a mount with a wide range of attacks, and Facts have proved that this rune creation, which looks like a sheep but has an unusual structure, is not qualified as a mount or a bomb, because its self-destruction switch is designed on the back of the neck, and the explosion range is only It is two meters long, and the detonation time is only 0.5 seconds. PS: This is an ordinary mount that is not as fast as a grass horse, but its explosive power is enough to meet the standards of an [Excellent]-level engineering bomb. It can turn into a small ball of wool when it is shut down. 】
“At least I am a knight with a mount now.” Mo Tan glanced at the bright red lever on the back of the sheep’s neck with a wry smile, caressed the sheep’s head and said, “You shouldn’t be careless. Just blow it up?"
"Huh..."
"Good answer." Mo Tan nodded, then turned it off and put it back into his bag, thinking about it for a while. After a while, he decided to experience the large arena that Lessard said could "quickly improve his strength".
Anyway, there is nothing else to do now. If you want to know more about Tianzhu Mountain, you must improve your strength. As for 'that matter', you have to wait until your priest number comes online. Only then can you confirm with Yuchen.
So he immediately left the lounge, turned two corners (because he had read the map in advance, so he would not get lost) and went straight to the work area in the center of the first floor hall.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A cute dwarf girl stood on a pile of cushions and bowed slightly to Mo Tan.
[The ‘locals’ in Tianzhu Mountain really come from all races. 】
Mo Tan sighed in his heart, and then asked politely: "I want to participate in the arena competition, and I have gone through the formalities here before."
"Well, your name? "The dwarf girl blinked.
"Tachibana Taki~" Mo Tan smiled: "You're kidding, my name is Mo."
"Wait for me to check...ah, is it this one?" The girl nodded, and then put something on the table He fiddled with the magic crystal board for a while, lowered his head and thought: "Relying on the unknown nepotism with the high-level observer Mr. Lessard, he directly skipped the vegetable level competition and won any arena challenge from level one to level five. Quan Demo...ah, I'm sorry!"
Mo Tan smiled and nodded: "I must be right."
"Yeah, you are. You are eligible to choose the challenge level at will." The dwarf girl scratched her head and said, "It's fine from level one to level five, but if it's your first time, I suggest you try the level one arena first."
< br>"Okay." Mo Tan didn't want to challenge any difficult level at first, so he immediately nodded and said, "How does the process go?"
The dwarf girl handed him a light blue bracelet and said with a smile: "Just take it to the second floor. There is a very conspicuous big pillar on the side of the court. Use this bracelet to get close to it and it will automatically help you match." Your opponent!"
Then Mo Tan took the bracelet politely, said goodbye to the somewhat rash little girl and went upstairs.
"What a secretive person!" The little girl looked at Mo Tan's back and nodded, muttering: "At first glance, he looks like a rookie..."
……
Ten minutes later
Mo Tan trembled and appeared in front of the girl again.
"Girl..."
"Huh?"
"What level is the first-level arena?"
"The lowest level."
"Are there any lower ones?"
The little girl glanced at the tall half-dragon in front of her and scratched her hair: "There is also a rookie...I mean a rookie training ground. , there are all newcomers here, but you can skip the rookie game."
"No! Just give me the rookie!"
"Are you sure?"
Mo Tan nodded heavily. He had just seen two brothers who were at least high-level berserkers having a passionate fight upstairs. He was a little bit nervous. Not good...
"I am absolutely sure!"
