Chapter 125 The Fox Walks at Dawn
The sun shines like a blazing flame through the window lattice, "Fox Walks at Dawn" Zhuo Yu secretly cursed and quickly got out of bed.
She fell asleep without realizing it. When she thought about what she had to do today, her stomach made a gurgling sound, reminding her that it was time to go downstairs to eat.
Before leaving, the moon elf Zhu Yun did not forget to tidy himself up from head to toe.
She walked lightly down the stairs in her deerskin boots.
A short, stocky man who frequented the Skull-Smashing Tavern stepped aside to clear the way for her, which brightened her mood.
She could feel that the other person's behavior was very particular, but maybe he was trying to please her, or maybe his ultimate goal was to sleep with her.
But, but, she thought with a smile: You have to be more thoughtful and be careful to go out with your butt covered the next day.
She avoided the wine table that became lively after her appearance, sat down at the bar, and waved to the shopkeeper.
"What do you want to order? Miss Zhu is the enemy of thousands of people in love?" the tavern owner nodded and bowed to please.
"The little mouth is so sweet." Zhuo Xuan smiled and pushed a strand of black hair away from his gray eyes, "Let's have breakfast and a glass of wine."
"Let's keep the accounts, right? ?”
She nodded, and the tavern owner yelled at the chef, then took out a cup from a pile and filled her with ale.
"I wonder if you have heard of something big: 'Fat Catfish' Graal has defected to the Zhentarim." From his tone, the tavern owner seemed a little confused about this turn of events.
"Really?" Zhuo Yan looked at him playfully and took a big gulp of wine boldly.
Of course she knew the specific reason, but naturally she couldn't tell her.
“Of course you are,” the boss continued, “I really don’t understand, since they are all seeking refuge, why not just seek refuge in the City of Shadows and earn a wife for that boy Lando.”
Zhuo Xun shook her head. For an ancient dragon like 'him' who has lived for thousands of years, nothing can surprise her. "The Zhentarim has taken control of Mokou Town. Will it be difficult to do business?"
The boss shrugged, "At least it's more stable than before, and all illegal businesses don't have to go underground."
He wiped the tableware and grinned happily, "It's better than before. It was much more comfortable when the Kingdom of Cormyr ruled.”
"I hope you will always be at ease." Zhuo Xu muttered meaningfully, and raised a glass to toast.
At this moment, the door of this dark tavern was pushed open, and dazzling light poured in.
The moon elf Zhuo Yun blinked, and an inexplicable smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Because the visitor was exactly the person she was waiting for, a handsome half-elf mage.
The outline of his face is three-dimensional and deep, with clear edges and corners, and resolute lines like a knife and an axe. Under a pair of lightly raised eyebrows, his eyes shine like black stones, exuding a calm and calm light.
To be honest, if it weren't for those deep eyes that made her a little uncomfortable, he still looked quite young. No wonder the elf girl thought about him every day, and the moon elf Shuxu showed a smirk.
Then she noticed the person following Brian.
He wore a worn leather jacket and trousers, and a dusty cloak. Judging from the two strands of gray-white hair hanging down inside the hood, he should be an old man.
However, to Xu Xun’s surprise, she found that the whole temperament of the old man with whom she had met several times had changed dramatically. He followed Brian casually, but he seemed to be a stranger. A sword that can be unsheathed at any time.
And his right leg, which was injured by the breath of the ancient red dragon, was completely healed.
A bit interesting. Zhuo Yu smiled playfully and looked at a drunk man not far away.
The Skullbreaker Tavern fell silent when Brian arrived.
For a tavern full of vulgar drinkers, his appearance seemed a bit out of place, and no one wanted to meet his eyes.
“Go and get in touch with their leader first.” Brian told the old swordmaster Balerius behind him:
“Remember, after meeting them, don’t I want to test these people by exposing my identity. If they are not satisfied, then there is nothing to talk about and just kill them.”
Hearing the Lord's understatement, Balerius felt a chill. He nodded solemnly and walked deeper into the tavern.
Brian sat in the corner of the pub and casually ordered a glass of wine from the waiter.
Tonight he will have a decisive battle with the Zhentarim. The purpose of coming here is to contact the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Group.
He knows the virtues of this mercenary group, so he still has some confidence in conquering them.
If he gets the support of the Dragon Skeleton Mercenary Group, his chances of winning tonight will be greatly improved.
When he sat down, he could clearly feel a pair of unkind eyes staring at him.
He knew this was a black shop.
In fact, to be honest, the camp in Mokou Town should be considered neutral evil.
Most of the people gathered here are desert bandits, bandits and other evil people.
But he believed that these people would think carefully before provoking him.
To his surprise, a tall and strong man was an exception.
As soon as Brian raised his eyes, he met his gaze.
This strong man's physique is like a brown bear, which is unforgettable.
Although not many people know it, under his uneven scarred face, there is a shrewd mind hidden, a mind that should have realized the danger of this move.
However, low-quality wine doomed him. Even if a strong man has a good drink capacity, he does not have the stomach of a dwarf.
The strong man stood up suddenly and sat next to Brian carelessly.
During the whole process, at the end of the smoke-filled bar, Brian clearly felt that a pair of crystal gray eyes had been staring at him.
Unfortunately, he could not clearly see the face to which his eyes were attached.
“Nice to meet you, kid.” The strong man’s drunken tongue was stiff, “Are you alone?”
Brian’s keen intuition about magic, but he felt that he was more like being Some kind of magic took control.
In other words, someone is provoking themselves.
"Three numbers." He said coldly.
"What did you say?" The strong man was stunned for a moment.
"Count from three to one, shut up and leave before then." Senhan's magic flashes gathered at Brian's fingertips.
“Three!”
"Hey, don't be kidding me!" The strong man looked startled and seemed to have woken up, but his legs showed no intention of moving.
“Two!”
Brian ignored it.
"Stop"
"One!"
A beam of icy blue-white light burst out from Brian's fingertips, wrapped in cold air, and accurately hit the strong man's knees. The bone-chilling chill was covered with a layer of crystal white frost at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The strong man was speechless, but before he could finish his words, he was trembling with cold caused by the magic, covering his knees and screaming repeatedly.
The drinkers looked in the direction of the two men, most of them showing fear.
“Go away!”
Brian pushed with his palm, and an invisible force field energy hit the strong man’s chest, and fell onto the card table next to him, smashing the tabletop. Knocking cards, coins and players away.
The drinkers glared at Brian, but when he stretched out his finger, they immediately looked away knowingly.
At this moment, a dozen people quietly took out weapons from the oiled buckles, the lining of the boots, the inner edges of the wrists, the back of the neck, and even from under the crotch cloth.
The name Broken Skull Tavern naturally has its origins. Brian knew it all, but he wasn't deterred.
Just when he was about to start a killing spree, a charming figure stood between him and the aggressive drinker.
Everyone stared at the intervenor in unison, and all hid the things in their hands back to their original positions.
Immediately afterwards, the atmosphere in the Broken Skull Tavern became harmonious again.
"Can't you tell, your arrogance is quite attractive." The troublemaker turned around and joked.
Brian looked up and saw a naughty smiling face.
He saw that this was a moon elf.
As if to tease him, the moon elf gracefully shifted his weight from his left leg to his right leg.
Brian observed the sudden appearance of the girl carefully.
This is the most beautiful elf woman he has ever seen when he came to the main material world. Even compared with the upper-class nobles of Evermeet Island and the Supreme Forest, she is not inferior.
Her smiling eyes were light gray.
As the light changes, its color seems to constantly change.
The long black hair that clings to her fair skin falls straight down to her waist like a waterfall, shining with the light of midnight.
She was wearing a tight-fitting white top with narrow sleeves, but the sleeves were black.
She wore a lead-colored vest over her top, and a short dark red silk shawl covered her left arm.
Her right hand, wearing a scarlet glove, rested on her hip bone.
What is even more striking is that she is enveloped in an awe-inspiring and confident temperament, as if she can mess him up with just one look.
In the end, Brian discovered that her figure really didn't matter.
‘The Fox Walks at Dawn’ 戈昽!
He recognized the Moon Elf's identity and thought of her name.
Moon Elf Zhuo Yun is an Elf Shadow Dancer. He was born on Everjum Island and grew up in Ximen, the most prosperous trading port city on the Dragon Coast.
She is also the chosen one of Erevan Elathil, the god of elves and half-elf rogues.
But in Brian's impression, the other party had already lived in seclusion in Waterdeep City, disguising herself as a silk merchant and fashion queen.
Why does it appear here again inexplicably?
He was a little confused about the purpose of this so-called ‘naughty adventurer’ appearing in Mokou Town at this time.
"Hello." It wasn't until the other person spoke that Brian realized that he was a little distracted, "Are you satisfied?"
For some reason, when Zhuo Yu met the other person's gaze, He always felt a little guilty, as if he had seen through his identity, and he couldn't help but feel frightened secretly.
"Thank you for your help, ma'am." Brian replied without thinking, not wanting to think too much.
At this moment, the strong man who was hit by the "freeze ray" recovered, immediately took out a curved blade sword, roared, and jumped into the air.
Brian's expression turned cold, and just as he was about to deal with it, the moon elf girl raised her left hand under her cloak.
With a 'click' sound, the strong man screamed repeatedly, threw away his weapon, and held the palm pierced by the crossbow bolt.
"Fuck you." The strong man was about to curse, but suddenly he noticed the moon elf girl showing a wicked smile. He quickly swallowed his words and rushed out of the tavern without looking back.
Brian frowned. He found that the other party's movements just now showed no signs of trouble, and they were so fast that he couldn't even see them clearly.
The suspicion in his heart also weakened a bit.
“Thank you again.” Brian stretched out his hand and said with a smile, “Nice to meet you, my name is Brian.”
“I will keep you happy.” Moon Elf He shrugged and smiled, "My friends on the street call me 'Fox Xing Mingxiao'. I'm also very happy to meet you. If you don't mind, just call me Zhuo Yu."
"In fact, you are happy too early. "Brian looked at her, "To be honest, I really dislike you."
Because he had guessed that this farce was probably caused by the person in front of him.
This made him even more confused about the purpose of this strange moon elf looking for him.
“Let’s do this.” Zhuo Xu secretly wiped his cold sweat and murmured in a low voice.
Then, she raised her eyebrows, raised her head to meet his gaze, stretched out her hand to comb her hair, and pretended to be disdainful:
"You are planning to use this method to attract girls. Attention? If so, why don’t you buy the lady a drink, considerate sir?”
Brian chuckled and waved to the waiter, who came over hesitantly.
"I want the best elven mead." From the time Zhuo Yu finished ordering until the drinks were served, Brian said nothing to her.
The moon elf girl drank the glass in one gulp and then waved for a second glass.
“Look at you, you smile so brightly.” Zhuo Xuan put down his wine glass and teased: “Did you fall in love with me?”
“Yes, you look really good. Sweet." Brian looked at the moon elf girl in front of him, trying to find even the slightest difference from his memory.
"Oh, oh." She smiled sweetly, "Then I have to be careful. I didn't expect you to have lips and tongue like honey."
"Then do you want to try it?" Bu Ryan challenged.
“Is that okay?”
Zhuo looked at him openly and said eagerly, “How about you go upstairs with me and play a few rounds of Lafat in my room? How about it? I suggest you break through from the front, because I don’t like being attacked from the wings.”
After the moon elf girl finished speaking, she stood up and walked over, sitting on Brian’s lap provocatively. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "I have grown up in Ximen since I was a child. It exudes the smell of the sea. I want to sail in the sea, but I don't know if you are as hard as a mast?"
"I wouldn't dare."
Brian grabbed her dishonest little hand and smiled at her suggestion.
His other hand moved along her arm to her tight belly, "I'm afraid I can't afford to offend your God of Mischief and Change."
The patron god of elves and half-elf rogues, Erevan Elathil, is also known as the elven god of mischief and change.
Brian knew that as a voter, "Fox Xing Dawn" Zhuo Yun had an asymmetrical golden eight-pointed star tattooed on her back and a small silver fox on her belly.
To confirm her identity, he could feel the divine power emanating from the tattoo just by touching it, which he had experienced personally.
Just when he was about to touch it, he suddenly felt the moon elf sitting on his lap holding his hand, and then ran away like a frightened deer.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Zhuo Xuan smiled and said, “You are so handsome, so who else can talk to me about love?”
Brian was about to fight back when he noticed that Bale Reese had already walked over, so he put away the inappropriate expression on his face, stopped talking to her, and went to greet her, "How is it?"
"They agreed to see you." Balerius secretly relaxed. He took a breath and said.
"Let's go then." Brian motioned for him to lead the way.
"Hey, where are you going?" The moon elf girl ran over and asked curiously: "Can you let me follow you?"
Brian frowned and looked carefully. eyes, carefully looking at each other.
The test just now made him find that there seemed to be nothing wrong with the moon elf, but as someone who had seen the real "Fox Walking at Dawn", he had a vague feeling that something was wrong.
"To tell you the truth, I not only know that a certain demon believer has a relationship with the Zhentarim." Seeing the hesitant Brian, Zhuo Yu's gray eyes flashed, and he deliberately lowered his voice and whispered, "I also heard that a new lord came to Mokou Town."
"Let's go."
Brian met the moon elf girl's playful eyes and motioned for her to walk deeper into the tavern.
