unreliable adventure

Nerubian?That's something the bards made up, and many serious texts say the creature doesn't exist.Fierro grabbed me tightly, his knuckles turned white, and said, don't you have a reconnaissance circle?Don't you see anything?There is indeed nothing... Wait, above!Above the dead woods, a spider wove a huge web, and crawled down with silk threads hanging upside down.I raised my hand to prop up an ice barrier to defend, but I didn't see the spider demon attack for a long time.

Looking closely, I saw a thumb-sized spider slowly landed on the transparent ice surface, twisted its buttocks and crawled away.

Fierro said loudly: "His spell is broken, everyone go back to the outpost!"

A group of people got into the enchantment, but they didn't see Fierro.I was about to go out to look for him, only to find that the access control key had been changed, and the crystal screen of the enchantment shrank rapidly, turning into a small cage.

When the cage was opened again, a group of golden-armored and red-robed elf soldiers were already guarding there.There are four crystal energy colossi in the back, and the four giant cannons on the insect-like slender legs are erected high, and the muzzles are all pointed in front of us.Fortunately, the cannon didn't seem to be charged, which meant that the elves didn't intend to fire.

Fierro slowly came out from behind the army formation.Wayne said, "I knew it was him, traitor!"

The elf man's eyes wandered, and he looked up at the giant statue: "Oh, how did you know."

"I just know that elves with pointy ears are treacherous villains.

The elf man was silent and did not answer, and there were a few snickers in the elf army formation.

I have seen from the illustrations on the pages that the golden armor of the elves with the fire emblem is exactly the style of the Royal Guard of Honor of the Golden Wing City, but the team in front of me is different in height, short, fat and thin, and I feel that it lacks a little royal momentum.

A long dragon horn sounded, and the guard of honor kicked their feet and set out a salute.A colossal statue folded its muzzle and bent down. An elf stepped out wearing a traditional style of [-] layers of finery. The outermost layer was a military uniform, and the overly wide shoulder pads supported a blood-colored cloak. .Another muezzin flashed in front of him, reciting aloud: "This is the first secretary of the board of directors of Golden Wing City, handsome, beautiful, and overwhelmed..." Then there was a long list of elves' names.

Francis asked me in a low voice, what kind of official position is a secretary?I don't know either.Fortunately, after the muezzin read out all the names and titles, he added thoughtfully: "After the abdication of the royal family of Golden Wing City, the board of directors will exercise management power. During the adjournment, the first secretary will speak on behalf of the board of directors. Foreigners, before you This is the commander-in-chief of the three armies of Golden Wing City and the chief executive, please maintain proper etiquette!"

The Secretary, who was dressed in an eighteen-layered costume, came forward, saluted briefly, and complained, "Oh, I am still so beautiful, these stereotypes and bad habits should be changed. You can call me Loren Zuo."

I didn't know what card the elf was going to play, and there was no return.

The secretary was a little annoyed, and said: "Gold Wing City has no malicious intentions. If I have any malicious intentions, my cannons can open fire directly. By the order of the board of directors, I request you to immediately stop the hostile infiltration against the northern border. The official announcement will be made the next day. release."

"So, this time, you plan to catch them alive?" Wayne said in a professional mocking tone: "Where is the pride of Golden Wing City? Oh, I forgot, the elves divide their pride into shares, and sell them for five copper coins a share." To the Queen of the Land of the Dead."

I lowered my head and laughed out loud, thinking about how ugly the elf's face would be.

Fierro on the side was irritated: "The lackeys of the Knights! You have destroyed the Golden Wing City once, do you want to come again? I will never allow it! Why do we form an alliance with the undead? Because the carrion of the dead is better than knights. Clean it up!" Wayne gave the elf man a hard look, and Fierro was so angry that his shoulders twitched, he was gasping for breath, and his face was frighteningly pale.

The entire team of elves was in commotion, looking like they were about to rush up to fight at any time.

Francis elbowed me to tell me not to mess with Wayne.But I couldn't help but smile, it's really funny.Alas, Glinda is going to call me childish again.Um?Where is Glinda?

Taking advantage of the chaos, the witch had already circled behind the guard of honor, and cooperated with Wayne tacitly.A thin and dull dagger rested on the secretary's neck.

"Ah, this is your plan. Do you need any order from me? Just let you go?" Secretary Dong said absently.

Glinda was distracted for a moment, but she was bounced aside by the force field.The hexagonal crystal plates are instantly spliced ​​and formed, protecting the elves like eggshells.Secretary Dong continued to say lightly: "Gold Wing City's latest anti-assassination application is still in the beta stage. Well, the video data has been recorded and can be used for marketing in the future." Then he turned to us and said: "Please give up resistance, the board of directors All necessary coercive measures have been authorized."

A man can bend and stretch, so I put down my weapon very calmly.

"Please step forward to Xiaoxu of Golden Wing City." The secretary said, and the elf guards quickly manipulated the magic crystal to open a portal.

I suddenly realized: "So the location of the Golden Wing City is here!" Most of the records about the Golden Wing City in books are contradictory, and there are no less than ten guesses about its exact location.And who would have thought that the Golden Wing City was hidden in the hinterland of the kingdom of the dead!

The secretary of the board smiled politely: "How can you see that?"

"The one who completely blocked my spellcasting and shattered my magic circle before, I also said that I offended the mage group. The energy is so great. If the main engine of the Golden Wing City was used, it would not be surprising. .Besides, the shape of the portal in front of me obviously cannot support long-distance transmission."

"Shut up," Fierro said sullenly. "Talking brings trouble."

Wayne muttered something later, and managed to annoy Fierro: "Loyalty? Do you know what loyalty is? I am a blue-blooded elf, and my loyalty belongs only to Golden Wing City!"

The secretary raised two fingers to stop the noise.And at this time, I also kind of hate the Tin Woodman's taunts and side effects. I want to see Jin!wing!city!

When I raised my eyes and saw Golden Wing City for the first time, I immediately understood the seemingly contradictory descriptions in the literature.The high bow of the ship pierces the sky, and the deck made of turquoise is supported by golden keels, covering the sky and the sun, casting a huge and thick black shadow.Many slender and soft wings of light hang down, following the undulations of the hills and falling on the rolling vineyards.

The Secretary also drilled out of the portal at some point: "As you can see, Golden Wing City is a floating warship, and it is meaningless to inquire about her specific location. That is to say, we don't have to resort to the uncivilized methods of killing and silencing her." Solve the problem by the way." The secretary of the board of directors glanced at me, then nodded to Fierro.

Although the giant ship seemed to be in sight, it took a lot of time to walk into its shadow.In the meantime, I discovered the reason why the floating battleship is stationed here.A magic crystal mine is hidden among the vineyards, and the short goblin miners are busy running in and out, carrying pieces of magic crystal rough bigger than their bodies on their backs.There is a counter under the parasol on one side, behind the counter sits an elf, and in front of the counter is a balance.Goblin miners lined up, carefully placing the ore on the scales.The elf yawned and checked the readings, made a note in the ledger, and a few copper coins jingled out from the counter.

There is a small tavern under the grape arbor in the other room.The goblin puts in a copper coin, taps the button, and a small glass of wine is delivered.Countless goblins slumped on the tables and chairs, singing and drinking wildly. Among them were two gaudy crystal puppets, hastily cleaning up the messy cups and dishes on the floor.The goblin who received the copper coins happily ran into the hotel, spent all the money, and went back to the mine dejectedly.

I was so fascinated that I might write a paper on this unique social form some day.The secretary said aside: "There are rumors among the humans in the south that we cruelly enslave goblin laborers. The fact is that Golden Wing City opposes slavery, and our entire magic crystal business follows the principle of free trade." Then he politely hinted at me to move on.

In the center of the shadow, looking up, you can already see the rose pattern wrapped around the golden keel of the giant ship.Another small dark red teleportation array was engraved on the ground. The moment I stepped into the teleportation array, I came to the bright and dazzling turquoise deck.Gold Wing City has a total of nine straight and tall masts, only the second mast near the bow is still in operation. I thought it was the sun, and the engine on the top of the mast was burning quietly and violently.The dome that draws the white clouds is not the sky, but is spliced ​​by pieces of hexagonal wafers, upside down above the rolling hills.The inside of the dome is warm and dry, which also explains why the elves can grow grapes in the north.

There is a special depressing atmosphere inside the giant ship. I would say it is not very good, but it is very quiet.There was only a small elf guard of honor on the wide deck, and the neat steps echoed.Most of the cabins have their doors tightly closed, and a few of them are open occasionally. The inside is either piled up with sundries like a warehouse, or covered with white cloth like a funeral.

Secretary Dong saw my doubts, and said only: "The battleship consumes a lot of energy when floating in the air. Due to economic considerations, most of the time it can only be kept in parking standby mode."

The little procession turned another corner and headed down the second mast.It looks like the elves intend to use the power of the main engine to imprison us.

"Please stay overnight, both of you. I have already applied for a temporary meeting of the board of directors, and there will be a formal trial tomorrow." The secretary of the board escorted Glinda and me into the "guest room" made of magic crystals, and then bowed and left. .Wayne and Francis were sent to ordinary cells probably because they couldn't attack spells.
