It was quite late when I came out of the city lord's mansion, but I really didn't want to go back to the detention center.
Detention center? Yes, Lich Roland is still being detained in the detention center for causing that big commotion, he just sneaked out.
Although planning a large-scale naked run does not violate any laws and is not really a crime, it is definitely necessary to imprison him for three to five days to reflect and not to commit the crime again.
Now I summoned a skeleton, put the usual decorations and clothes on him, and left some magic power, pretending to be a sleeping lich, but my body slipped out. If it were normal, in order not to be discovered, I would really have to
Sneak back quickly.
After all, dark elves are very sensitive to magic power, and they will accidentally get in trouble when patrolling, but now, they have no time to care about the obedient lich in the corner.
The reason? That’s because they are very busy, super busy... Let’s start with the evil I did myself, the engineering ban month.
From the perspective of purifying the atmosphere in Sulfur Mountain City, this crackdown was perfect. After those damn dwarfs and goblins were thrown into the detention center with live bombs, the crime rate and alarm rate in the entire Sulfur Mountain City instantly dropped by more than 3%, even in one night.
Not a single explosion occurred.
But when the urban management knights happily slept well, they discovered that this was the beginning of their nightmare.
What is more unmanageable than one trouble is the accumulation of several troubles. When many engineering masters united in the detention center, and when the banner of the first Sulfur Mountain City Engineering Exchange Conference was raised, I, who have experienced a lot, also
My friends and I were stunned together.
The goblin engineering masters exchanged their experiences of exploding and being exploded, and the dwarfs exchanged various new ideas and methods, well, mainly various ways of seeking death, and even, when their bodies were searched cleanly, in extreme
In boredom, dwarfs and goblins even discussed the product of the fusion of two types of engineering...
Originally, I was quite interested in fanning the flames... "We can make a goblin woodcutter as big as a mountain, and it can cut down the ancient war trees of the high elves with a chainsaw? Impossible? Will it be overweight? Child
, why are you so unimaginative? You have forgotten that there is more than one master here. As long as you use the dwarf's electronic conduit and decompression spring, not only will it not be overweight, it should not explode too fast."
"We could build a giant mechanical fire-breathing dragon and paint the horns on its head red, so it would be three times as fast."
"We can build a drill airship with a constantly rotating head and use it to drill holes into the ground. This way, we don't have to pay tolls in an underground city guarding the ground passage."
But soon, I found that something was wrong. These guys were too powerful. When I mentioned the integration of technology and new research topics, we were so happy that we started to take action directly.
"No source of fire? The heel of my shoe is a lighter. When the flint hits the ground, there will be sparks."
"No parts? Haha, my brother Silver Hook is also a part-time flame mage. What's the point of melting a few iron rods to make parts."
"No gunpowder? Haha, I am a double master of goblin alchemy and goblin engineering. Come on, pick up that piece of soap for me... No, I'm not a faggot, I just want soap and the animal fat in your lunch.
To make raw materials, watch me hand-refining nitrate, glycerin! This is a unique skill I learned from the seal people in Beizhiruosi. Since I mastered this secret recipe, my mother no longer has to worry about my nitrate, glycerin propeller.
Fuel."
"No fuse, catalyst and spring? Wait until I take off my clothes... Hey, I'm really not a gay. Look, these clothes have been soaked in liquid radish. You can detonate them by just tearing off a piece of cloth (next to it)
The goblin looked at him with reverence, which meant, 'You are simply a model of goblin research spirit, you dare to wear such things'). This set of buttons put together is the most basic tool set, a wrench, and a screwdriver.
, I already have the vise, do you want it? Don’t sell it, this is the birthday gift that smart lich gave me, a precious symbol of our friendship!! If you really want to buy it, it’s not impossible, at least 30,000
Only sell them for gold coins!”
He proudly touched his hairless chin, which was covered with pale green gold teeth. Bea also gave me a toothy smile and gave me a thumbs up.
Watching the Beya brothers who have vaguely become the leaders of the crowd due to their outstanding skills, watching them enthusiastically dismantling iron rods, melting parts, getting soap, and animal fat to refine explosives, my intestines are blue with annoyance, well, if I had intestines
.
"...I swear, when I get out, I will find a reason to throw them into prison. Crime? If nothing else happens, if they continue to do whatever they want, they will be found out later."
Well, the detention center built with citizens' tax money would not be blown into the sky. More importantly, I didn't want to fly into the sky, so I called for backup without hesitation.
"Eliza, go to the urban management headquarters and report the case, saying that the goblins in the detention center are making big bombs that can blow up the entire city!"
Well, the rest is very simple. The urban management officers arrived and, together with the guards at the detention center, severely suppressed this group of lawless engineering masters...
But this is just the beginning... Once the fire of truth is ignited, it can never be extinguished - Goblin Engineering Master Goldfang Bea.
Their communication and collaboration just moved from the ground to the underground. Various engineering drawings were flying around like underground intelligence joints. Information could be transmitted with just one look...
Moreover, the idea of a large-scale cooperation project between the engineering masters of Sulfur Mountain City was spread to the outside through someone's communication tool. After that, engineering masters from the outside continued to take the initiative to seek opportunities to join this "grand meeting", which also brought treasures as admission fees.
Component.
As a result, as soon as the guard turned around, they started working loudly. The guard's eyes were on them, and they whistled to the sky to pretend to be innocent.
In desperation, all the urban management officers could only be in place, keeping an eye on each one, and guarding them tightly. Naturally, the other prisoners relaxed, and I took this opportunity to sneak out to see Annie.
Well, the memories end here. Today's detention center is like a crater. There may be an uproar at any time. Well, it literally means an uproar. Perhaps, the word "explosion" is more appropriate.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. What's more, I never consider myself a moral gentleman, and I will never take the initiative to enjoy explosions.
"Then, let's go find a place to kill some time before waiting for them to play with the explosion. Well, let's go see Xiao Hong."
What surprised me was that through contact, I learned from her that she was not at home.
"Haha, she has suffered the biggest loss in her life this time. She must be furious. Now, if she doesn't find someone to fight, there will be nothing left!"
Sure enough, when I arrived at the Red Rose, the largest tavern in the Central District, and as soon as I approached the small private room where we often go, I heard that familiar voice coming from inside.
"Roland, come over and drink with me!"
"Why, a person turned into a human form to drink alcohol? Alcohol is not good for wounds."
Yes, just like human bad girls, Xiao Hong, who is also in the rebellious stage, also has the biggest hobbies of drinking and fighting. Now that there is no suitable opponent to fight with, naturally she can only find a place to drink.
"Huh, that's what you fragile humans need to avoid. For me, drinking some wine can stop the pain and make sleeping more comfortable."
Opening the curtain, the person in front of me was holding a wooden bucket and pouring wine directly. She was still the height of a dwarf, but she was a beautiful woman with black hair and embroidered eyebrows.
Her long black hair is as smooth as silk, and her crescent-shaped embroidered eyebrows add to her feminine delicacy. She is extremely tall, and her tight-fitting leather jacket shows off her perfect figure. Her slender arms are as white as snow, her eyebrows are clear, and her fingertips are green.
She has a slight trace of blood color, just looking at her appearance, and she has the feeling of a lady from a well-educated family.
Now he is wearing an eye patch over his left eye, and his body is wrapped with a lot of gauze. There is still the smell of medicinal wine all over his body, which makes him feel more fragile.
But as soon as she opens her eyes, no one will regard her as a weak woman. The wildness in the eyes of the beast, no, it should be said that it is the gaze of a predator at the top of the food chain as he looks at the food, which will make the weak feel that their lives are in danger and tremble with fear.
.
Why, so disappointed? You thought that the red dragon girl would turn into a cute little lolita in red when she transformed into a human? How naive, the dragon would like to transform into a little girl? A typical habitual prejudice after reading too many knight novels.
Why? A little girl with incredible strength suddenly fell out in the wilderness. The ground was covered in mud and dust, but she was dressed gorgeously and spotlessly clean? Even a fool would know there is something wrong.
Well, back then, this dragon girl had indeed read too many knight novels, and planned to sneak into our adventure group and have an epic adventure, but unfortunately, we saw through it at the beginning.
However, we who are happy to have an extra powerful thug and mascot, how can we tell the truth? Instead, we try our best to pretend to be stupid and raise our arms to warmly welcome the "new legendary child, female berserker and fire mage".
In the end, due to an accident, she revealed her true face, but faced us who looked indifferent and obviously knew it for a long time. She did ask what was wrong with her disguise, but that answer became her lifelong shame and super black.
history.
"Strength needs time to accumulate. It seems that the legend is about ten years old. After ruling out several possibilities, other powerful racial changes are the most likely answer, and the most likely to do such a thing should be the dragon clan."
This was Margaret's cold-faced explanation. Back then, she was still an ordinary human mage who was sharp-tongued and careless, but she was actually very concerned about Xiaohong's face.
"Equipment and weapons, you can buy a small city if you throw this spider silk skirt of the Demon Hunting Spider Queen away." Considering the gentle character and gentlemanly demeanor that the Paladin should show, he should be cautious in this situation.
Seeing her face, I racked my brains and tried to find a less obvious flaw, and said with a smile.
"Idiot Xiaohong, when we first met, you wiped out our week's rations at once, causing us to need to hunt to replenish our food. Do you think humans can eat so much? Huh, you made me lose weight all night." Okay,
The thief Lisa Grant was very upset about how hungry she was that day.
"Haha, you idiots, you didn't know it until so late. I knew it at the first sight. Wasn't Xiaohong reading a book at that time? The popular knight novel "The Dragon Princess from the Star" is about a dragon who transforms into a little girl and travels
In the human world, have you ever fallen in love with a human being? You didn’t notice such an obvious flaw. Haha, people are always said to be stupid, but I think you are the stupid ones...ahhhh!!"
This is...well, it was indeed that idiot Adam. It took us a long time to find the idiot hero who was punched several kilometers away by the angry Xiaohong. Fortunately, he was an excellent human shield.
, was able to survive in front of Xiaohong who accidentally showed her true feelings.
Well, at this point, the cute little loli Dragon Princess is gone, replaced by this mature version of Dragon Sister. However, in fact, this is also very suitable for her character. Therefore, although the Dragon Clan can adjust its transformation
Race and age (the transfiguration spell allows you to choose to transform into an elf or a human, but the appearance will not change), she has always used this appearance.
As for the red clothes, that's true. Dragons generally like to wear clothes with a similar skin color after their transformation. Xiao Hong does like red, but the problem is...
That guy Adam is also dressed in red, and he keeps causing trouble and being stupid everywhere. If he wears the same clothes as him, wouldn't he be regarded as a companion? No one wants to be regarded as a fellow idiot...
That's what Xiaohong said back then, and it was definitely not my deliberate slander.
"What are you doing in Gulong? Come and help me grill the meat. I remember that you were the best griller in our group back then. Let me see if your skills have deteriorated."
"You still remember."
Yes, you know that I am the paladin captain Luo Luo that year. On the bright side, it is the little red in front of you, the ancient red dragon Ainmetheus.
The way and angle of the golden race's dragons looking at people is completely different from that of mortals. In front of those dragon eyes that can see through the soul, it was impossible to hide it from her from the beginning.
It's just that our relationship is more like that of companions than accomplices... There are some things that it's better to tacitly agree on and pretend to be stupid than to tell everyone and embarrass everyone.
Now, while I was grilling the meat, I just sprinkled it with the secret spices (mainly a mixture of cumin and chili powder, which is also used as a casting material for smoke spells). Before I could apply the oil, she took it away in one gulp and downed it twice.
It was a great pleasure to eat.
"This time, I have made you feel wronged, and I will help you get back on your feet."
Xiao Hong was indeed wronged this time. If it weren't for some reasons, she wouldn't have even been injured this time, not to mention losing.
Think they are stubborn and refuse to admit defeat? What is the most troublesome thing about the Dragon Clan? Their strong fighting ability and excellent magic? None. The most difficult thing for them to deal with is that they have wings! They can fly!
Dragons are born to be the bells of the sky, and their flying skills are extremely good. Young dragons can use magic to help them float, and adult dragons can fly at will. For ancient dragons like Xiao Hong, flying and breathing are as easy and natural as possible. She even
It can fly freely in the sky without wings, violating the rules of physics.
The dragon clan's customary method of dealing with the enemy is to suddenly fall from the clouds, spray out dragon breath and magic blows before they can react, and then pull up before the counterattack comes and fly out.
Although this tactic sounds shameless, it is extremely difficult to deal with. If you want to slay the dragon, please try to get the dragon to the ground first. Therefore, even a super empire will not offend the dragon clan at will. After all, no one wants their capital to be separated by two days.
There was a fire but the murderer could not be found.
The dragons' high mobility is the most difficult thing for them to deal with. Ninety percent of the dragons killed are because the dragons were blocked in their lairs or fell into traps. Even if the dragons in the wild cannot be defeated, they will definitely not be able to escape. Turn around.
I'm looking for revenge on you, it's extremely difficult to deal with.
This time, Xiao Hong was so seriously injured just because Adam and Margaret were behind her, and she couldn't move at all. She could only stay motionless and be used as a target.
Being beaten as a fixed target and such a serious injury naturally made Xiaohong, who was proud and proud, full of grievances and dissatisfaction.
Hearing me saying that I wanted to find a place for her, Xiao Hong first had a meal, then picked up the wooden barrel on the side and drank a lot of wine.
"Ahem!!"
But she drank too fast, and this stupid dragon accidentally choked herself. I quickly helped her pat her back to relax.
"...No need, I will find a place for myself. I will find Moriel myself. You don't need to interfere."
I shook my head, knowing that she would not admit defeat. It was indeed the answer. However, Xiaohong's individual strength was indeed vaguely superior to Dragon Queen Moriel. Otherwise, the old guy would have come to clean up the door.
After all, Xiao Hong is one of the few people who can truly threaten her throne as the Dragon Queen.
"Let's go find the situation together. My losses this time are not small."
As expected, when I mentioned my plans to travel and cause trouble, Xiaohong, who was worried about the world being in chaos and just wanted to find a place to vent her anger, happily agreed.
After he finished speaking, he looked at me with amusement on his face.
"How are you doing Lisa?"
"...What are you talking about? Oh, Eliza? She is still as venomous and snarky as ever. She can't imitate anyone but Margaret. It's getting more and more difficult to deal with. Two days ago she was
I was arrested and sent to the detention center. It was really a wrong choice to pick her up back then."
"Don't act stupid, you know my dragon eyes can directly see the soul. Eliza is Lisa, right? The last member of our adventure group, the big thief who aimed to become a multi-millionaire, Adam's stupid crush
Lisa Grant, who has lived for half her life. Haha, Eliza is Liza with the prefix E for emphasis. It’s such a simple alphabet game that only a fool like Adam can’t figure it out.”
"...When did you see through it?"
"From the moment you brought back that half-demon girl, that is, from the very beginning. Huh, you are not much better than me, and there are still many flaws in your disguise. However, you are really powerful. I remember that Lisa was obviously dead, and even her soul
They are all attributed to the root...Wait a minute, half-demon, you won’t go to the River of the Dead to get her back, will you?”
"Yes, Lisa as a human is dead. Now Eliza is a new life and soul. It can be said that Eliza is Lisa, but not Lisa."
Looking at Xiaohong who was full of interest, I had a bitter look on my face. It seemed that some things back then had to be explained.
