Chapter 98 Vika Qianzhi
"Zhizhi! This mouse is really scared to death! If I meet someone like you who can talk to other animals again in the future, no matter what kind of attack he makes, I won’t help him anymore even if I pay you!”
“Especially you! I worked so hard to get information for you, but you told me false news. You said there was a cat in the manor, but Is that an ordinary cat?”
Tail stood in front of Nohir and complained to him. It was really frightened. It chose to leave the human residence and come to the sewer to seek life. Firstly, because My current skills are not as agile as before, and the second reason is because of the cats raised in human homes.
It used to have many companions, but most of them died in the mouths of cats, so it is still afraid of cats in its bones, but if it is just an ordinary cat, its tail is actually confident that it can avoid it in a short time. , but the cat I met this time was really outrageous, it actually had wings! Whose cat can grow wings?
Nohir didn't say much when he heard this, but knelt down on one knee, took out a piece of cherry hand cake from the bag behind him again, broke off a little from his hand and gave it to Tai Tai to comfort him.
"Sorry, Tails, this is indeed my fault. You are right. Wrong intelligence is more fatal than no intelligence. It is indeed my fault for letting you take additional risks."
Tail took the piece of food. It didn't expect that Nohir would apologize to it so seriously. In fact, it doesn't matter how much it complained about Nohir for putting him in danger. It was just a little scared. , coupled with the stress reaction caused by the fear of being thrown out by a cat with its neck in its mouth, this is why it is so excited now.
But Tails actually knew that if it hadn’t been for Nohill’s quick reaction when it was in danger, taking over the body in time and convincing the cat, it might have died long ago, and Nohill Being willing to do this for a mouse living in the sewer made Taili feel strangely moved. After all, he had never seen a human being who took the life of a mouse seriously.
However, Nohir did not know its psychological activities, but spoke to it seriously.
"So let me make it up to you. I will bring you more rewards to make up for the shock that this accident has brought to you."
"Your mission has also been completed very well. Without you, I guess it’s impossible to find the place hidden under the stable. This discovery may be very useful. Maybe you have made a great contribution.”
“So wait for a while, whether it is the food promised before, or add it now. I will send it to you soon, and our contract ends here. Enjoy the reward you deserve."
He gently scratched his tail with his iron-gloved fingers. He put his head on the ground and put the remaining food in his hands on the ground. Nohir stood up directly and went to the bottom of the sewer manhole cover. He slightly bent his knees and jumped five meters high. He grabbed the edge of the manhole cover and pulled it out of the sewer. The manhole cover is returned to its original position.
He went to prepare the reward he promised, while Tails kept holding the pieces of food. Looking at Nohir who was leaving, he couldn't help but say something.
"This guy is really a good person."
Nohir was preparing some easy-to-store and non-perishable food as reward, and Ska on the other side had already arrived at the Hall of Supreme Miracles.
——
The Hall of High Miracles, this magnificent and solemn building is strictly a quasi-religious museum, dedicated to displaying the great inventions created in the name of Gond.
The Hall of High Miracles lists all the great creations invented by Gond believers in history, ranging from mechanical claws for lifting heavy objects on the docks of Gray Harbor to orchestras driven by steam power. These inventions are all There is a display here, and there is a small sign in front of each invention, which states the inventor of the tools, their uses, and their known origin.
This hall is also the only public facility for Gond believers that is completely open to Baldur's Gate and can be visited by anyone. Those true devout believers and inventors of Gond work in another supreme wonder hall with a similar name. Most of the staff in this hall are their family members, and the real Gond priests only account for a small part.
Logically speaking, if you want to discuss business, you should go directly to the Supreme Hall of Miracles to find their main person in charge to discuss. However, on the way here, Scar inquired that the Supreme Hall of Miracles is not like the temples of ordinary gods. Generally open to the outside world, it is both a temple and a workshop, where great inventions are quietly studied.
So he could only come here and hope to find their external person in charge to discuss it.
Ska walked into the hall. He was not the only one here. There were also many citizens of Baldur's Gate who were visiting here. They were watching and marveling at the mechanical creations, large and small. It was even roaring and running. This kind of spectacle made Scar, a traditional paladin, a little stunned.
“No wonder Nohir said that these Gond believers would be interested in hell chariots. Indeed, if their daily life is to invent and create such creations made of steel, then the alternative technology from hell will be of great significance to them. To them, it is probably nothing more than a dragon’s treasure.”
Scar shook his head. He didn't want to judge this kind of mechanical supremacy. For him now, only negotiating this business with Gond believers is the most important thing.
As long as the negotiation is successful, a large amount of money will be obtained, and this money will become a weapon to fight evil. Even if the money is exchanged for the devil's creations, it doesn't matter. He no longer has those moral obsessions. Ska no longer thought about it. He walked through the crowd and most of the booths of mechanical creations, and then found a staff member who maintained the temple, a male dwarf, and expressed his demands to him.
"Sir, you said you have a very novel mechanical creation in your hands that you want to sell to us?"
"In the name of the oath, in this glorious holy In the temple, there is no deception in my words.”
Scar took off the holy oath badge that symbolized the Hell Knight of Eltoril from his neck. It was still shining with magical aura. Only when holding this badge can the paladin release his own spells and show this to others. Planting a badge is also the simplest and clearest way to prove that you are a paladin.
Originally, this badge representing Eltoril contained Ska's creed of devotion, but now revenge has completely replaced the previous devotion, which makes the badge that originally shimmered with golden magic aura Now it is shining with a dark golden light.
“Oh, this emblem seems to be the symbol of Eltoril, but I heard that Eltoril was drawn into hell some time ago. Did you survive that lost city? The paladin who came down? "
"Wait a minute, the mechanical creation you said you wanted to sell was not captured from the devil, right? If it was really snatched from the devil, then it was real. High-end goods! I have always wanted to study those hellish machines!”
The staff member’s shouting directly disturbed all the tourists present, but he himself seemed to be even more excited without realizing it. After making those guesses, he seemed to be completely in a state of frenzy. If Ska dared to nod and admit his guess at this time, then he would definitely jump up and hug Ska's thigh.
Why do I always meet these overly enthusiastic guys since I entered this city?
Ska covered her head with a headache. Before coming, Nohill had specifically told him not to cause too much harassment, but now this situation is so embarrassing that even Ska doesn’t know what to do. Better to stop it.
"Vilot! How are you behaving like this? Why are you shouting in the holy hall? Your behavior has embarrassed our guests, and Gond has never taught us to be so unruly. Etiquette!"
"Lord Vika!"
A man in a white robe, with brass goggles hanging around his neck, and a tool belt around his waist. , which was covered with various hammers and parts. Although the dwarf was short in stature but had an amazing voice, he was walking quickly.
He loudly stopped the over-enthusiastic staff member, scolded him in a low voice when he came to him, and then drove him away to appease other tourists. After completing this, he stood in front of him. He said apologetically to Scar in front of him.
"I'm really sorry, guest. Vitro is too young and too reckless in doing things. I will punish him to clean the entire hall after the hotel closes. I hope you can forgive him for his recklessness and impulsiveness."
Ska put away the badge, lowered her head slightly and said to the person in front of her.
“I forgive his behavior. In my opinion, he is just a little too fanatical about his hobbies, but maybe this is not a bad thing for Gond believers?”
Ska's words made Vika smile slightly. In fact, enthusiasm for invention is a quality possessed by any Gond believer, so what Ska said is indeed right.
"Haha, you are right, guest, but the most important thing for inventing is to have a cool head, and if young people's enthusiasm is not controlled, it is natural to get into trouble."
He While laughing, he stretched out his hand and said to Scar.
"I am the current general manager of the Hall of Miracles, the deputy chief priest of Gond, and the great inventor Vika Qianzhi. I am happy to serve you."
