Dragoon Sentinel

Wagner, a city built with rammed red mud, stands impregnably in the desert oasis.The towering city walls perfectly blocked the dust and sandstorms, protecting the normal life of the orcs in the city. However, this seemingly peaceful city is brewing unpredictable plots.

A space gap torn out by black-purple magic energy appeared more than 1000 meters underground in Wagner City. Soon, the magic energy stabilized into the shape of a door, steadily welcoming the arrival of personnel.

West was the first to shuttle through the portal, "Baji" stepped into the water, an inexplicable smell lingered on the tip of his nose, he lit the holy light on the staff to illuminate the place where he appeared , a round pipe with a damp and smelly smell, the dark front can't be seen at all, and the water around his ankles flashes ripples from beetles and mice from time to time.

"Warlock?!" West's high-pitched voice swayed back and forth in the barrel-shaped passage, and the sound spread out in waves, which lasted for a full one-sixtieth of a magic hour.

"What happened?"

Norley, Phils, and Bettisno appeared one after another, looking around vigilantly.Nuo Lei expanded his five senses and searched, but found no obvious threat. He shook his head at Ferth, and at this moment, the long-awaited Shavadin finally poked his head out.

"What's the matter, pastor?" He mumbled resentfully, "Can't you be gentle with the elderly?"

"This... what the hell is this place?!" West picked up his robe, the hem of the robe was already full of stinky water, and directly shook off Savardin's stink.

"The sewer..." Savardin brushed off the water stains on his clothes, and said nonchalantly, "My portal is not a legal channel, it can only connect to such shady places, and it's too late for you to have an opinion."

"You—" West was trembling with rage, and his aristocratic disease was about to strike again. Norley hurriedly stopped him and apologized, "Sorry, we made a fuss. May I ask how we can get to the ground? Besides, the village The boss wants us to find his grandson, do you have any suggestions?"

"Wolf tribe orcs are basically concentrated in the East District. It's easy to recognize there, and you can find them quickly. If there is no one there, go to the black market, but you have to be mentally prepared when you get there. No matter what you see, you can't reveal it. Surprised look."

The warlock murmured gutturally, and said in a low voice, "I have nothing else to do, I'll go first, and I have to settle the villagers and the wounded." Having said that, Savadin looked at the four of them more and more resentfully, "This is all You are causing me trouble."

"You once abandoned your own people, and now it's time to atone for your sins." Ferth said naturally, "Do you want to be reduced to the point of genocide and being alone like me?"

The Black Dragon’s speech was shocking, Shavadin pursed his lips, and sighed helplessly: “You won, Your Excellency Black Dragon, it’s because I’m not ready to take responsibility, now is the time... If you need to For any help, you can go to the East District to find my student Modo, you use this, he will come to you by himself."

Shawardin gave Nuo Lei a black animal tooth, similar in shape to the one given by the village chief. Do orcs like to use teeth when they give gifts to each other?

"I'm leaving, I wish you all good luck." Savardin turned around and disappeared in front of several people in a cloud of black smoke. Seeing him disappear, West yelled and said angrily: "He hasn't told How do we get out of this damn place!"

"It's okay, come with me." Norley put away his animal teeth and greeted. West held up his robe in disgust and followed him staggeringly through the water. He tried his best to avoid paying attention to those gloomy sewer creatures. , but when he heard suspicious noises, he would still look around nervously.

Fortunately, this torment did not last long. Soon, the water surface of the sewer became shallower and shallower, revealing dark and dirty steps made of bricks. Although the smell was still stinky, there was no water, and Weiss finally let it go. Te felt better.

The road surface gradually became drier, and the peculiar smell seemed to be lessened. As they approached the ground, there were more traces of orc activities.A large number of homeless orcs were wrapped in dirty blankets and curled up on both sides of the sewer road. They were listless, some maintained their animal shapes, some were half-human and half-animal, with their furry limbs exposed, as if to pass by. not seen.

Occasionally, one or two shambling orcs met them face to face, staring at their "clean and tidy" attire for a long time without moving their eyes.The orc moved his nose, sniffed the smell in the air, and narrowed his eyes dangerously: "Human? What are you doing in the orc's territory?"

The orcs who were moved by the sound gathered together, and in the blink of an eye they surrounded them tightly. Ferth hugged Nuo Lei's waist in displeasure, and stared at the surrounding orcs: "I'll give you a piece of advice. Get out of the way, or—”

"Give way! Make way!" At this moment, a thin orc wrapped in a black robe broke into the confrontation circle, and said with a shy smile, "Everyone, please don't be so rude to these guests, they are Come visit the black market!"

Visiting the black market?The orcs showed a surprised expression, this is someone they can't afford to offend.

The surrounding crowd gradually loosened up, but the orc who questioned at the beginning rolled his eyes and asked eccentrically, "Guests visiting the black market? How did they come out from the depths of the sewer? You are not lying to us, are you?"

Without saying a word, the thin orc stuffed a few silver coins into his hand, winked and said: "The guests always have unusual requests, if you continue to pester me, then I have no choice but to call the bodyguards from the black market to come and uphold justice. "

Weighing the weight of the heavy silver coin in his hand, the orc who took the lead in making trouble eased his face, put on a gesture of indifference and stepped aside, and the words he said still made people feel extremely harsh: "You know, the distinguished guest, let's go, don't worry about it." Let this filthy earth stain your feet!"

Ferth stared at him closely, and couldn't help sneering when he walked past him. He shook his arms, and the silent space magic got into the orc's patched pocket, and walked away with the silver coins.The orc didn't know that his pockets had become empty, he ran away complacently, and at this time, the lean orc had enthusiastically led several people out of the sewer.

The few people who walked out of the circular passage and saw the sky again sighed with relief. They had no time to look at this rough and huge city, and their attention was still focused on the orc in front of them.Nuo Lei fumbled for the storage bag, and when he took out the black animal teeth, the black animal teeth shook miraculously as if sensing the presence of the owner.Seeing this scene, they immediately understood the origin of the orcs.The skinny orc grinned, and introduced himself: "It seems that you are my teacher's friends. I am Modo, what should I call you?"

"I am Nuo Lei, and this is Ferth." When Nuo Lei introduced himself, Fei Er Si did not forget to add, "I am his partner." Nuo Lei looked at him speechlessly, and continued to introduce, " Those two are West and Betisnow, the priest and the knight."

"Nice to meet you." Modo's character is completely different from his teacher. He said enthusiastically, "Why do you guys come to Wagner? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Nuo Lei said: "We are looking for someone, a wolf orc Geer, and another one who is more famous, and it is Bontonte."

Modo replied without hesitation: "Wolf orcs...you can only see them in the East District, I can take you there, as for the other person you are looking for...it will be a bit difficult to meet him, he is a big man ah."

Norley asked, "How can I meet the big man?"

Modo smiled and replied: "If you want to see him, you really have to go to the black market."

"The black market?" West couldn't help interrupting him and asked, "Is it the place you mentioned when you helped us out? How is that different from the Hali Bazaar?"

Modo explained: "Of course it's different. The market sells legally traded goods, while the black market is full of unjust things. They not only sell goods, but also all kinds of creatures, and every piece There is almost a bloody and cruel story behind the auction, and customers who can enter the black market must hold their invitations, otherwise they will not even find the door."

Ferth raised his eyebrows, and asked with a half-smile: "Biology? I believe your teacher must like to patronize here, right?"

Modo couldn't help but look at him a few more times, and his gentle attitude became more humble: "Hehe, you are right, I did stay here according to the teacher's order, and help him collect... all kinds of materials."

"So...you have an invitation letter?" Norley asked in surprise.

"Yes," Modo nodded, scratching his head in embarrassment, "but the trouble I'm talking about is not the invitation letter, but the customers who want to enter the black market, they must bring enough auction items as collateral. Although I can bring everyone in, but seeing strange faces, the black market consultants will definitely ask you for collateral, you see... what should I do?"

Nuo Lei pondered for a moment, then asked, "When will the black market be held?"

Modo replied respectfully: "The black market is closed today, and it will open in two days."

"Then don't worry, we will discuss going to the black market later, and go to the East District first." After that, Nuo Lei summoned his own spiritual system, and the mighty red dragon still maintained the habit of the peregrine falcon in the past. It wants to rub against its dear master, but recently its good habit has been ruthlessly taken away by that black dragon.

With a cold face, Ferth pushed away the red dragon who was about to rub, and gave it a big white eye.The red dragon roared aggrievedly, flapped its wings and flew towards the east district.Modo watched the interaction between the two of them curiously, and there seemed to be something there that he couldn't see.

"Moduo, can we go?" Norley's question brought Modo back to his senses, and he smiled at them friendly again, blinking his eyes and said, "Okay, but can you please wait a moment?" For a moment, I will disguise a few of you."

As he said that, Modo opened his clothes, and only heard a few crisp sounds. There was actually a separate space hidden inside his robes, and there were many bottles and jars of different shapes hanging there. He took out one of the bottles and opened it to drink. On a few people, he said apologetically: "The smell is a bit strong, please bear with it."

Dazed by the sudden smell, Norey pinched his nose and asked, "What are you spraying us with?"

"It's a disguised orc smell. I won't get used to it at first, but it will get better after the smell dissipates." Modo put away the bottle and explained embarrassingly, "Orcs rely on their sense of smell to distinguish their own people from their enemies. It doesn't smell like an orc at all, so it will cause suspicion, so don't worry about it now."

"...I understand." Nuo Lei took the initiative to grab Ferth's hand, urging him to talk to himself to distract himself.Feeling flattered, Ferth put her arms around his shoulders spontaneously, leaning against his temples and speaking words that were not ashamed with spiritual force.Norley couldn't help blushing, but he had to thank Ferth, without him, I'm afraid he would have been driven crazy by the smell.

The red dragon soon came to the East District, and it circled around a few times to observe this place thoroughly.

The East District can be said to be a poor place where Wagner’s environment is second only to the sewer. The houses here are like ant nests, leaning against a high earth slope on the easternmost city wall. Ten lairs of different sizes, and the wolf orcs living in the city live in such an environment.

Seeing this scene, Nuo Lei couldn't help frowning: "The situation here is also very bad."

Modo introduced kindly: "It is an indisputable fact that the wolf orcs have been excluded. What's worse is that they have no courage to resist the status quo. Who can blame this?"

Thinking of those muddle-headed old people in Feile Village, and looking at the young wolf tribe living here, Nuo Lei realized how terrible it is to lose hope for life.

Modo is very familiar with the affairs of the city, and his ability to communicate with others is also outstanding. It may be because of his ability that Savardin will keep him in the city to deal with black market transactions.He led a few people towards the towering and bloated "earth building", and said politely: "I will take you to meet someone. He knows all the wolves living in the East District. He must know the whereabouts of the person you are looking for."

As he spoke, he stopped in front of a dark hole on the ground floor and shouted, "Is Father Onto there?"

"Who is it?" A muffled voice with phlegm in his throat rang out, and slowly, a crooked old orc came out of the shadows, revealing his head covered with brown spots, "Oh, it's Modo, you brought... new Friend? Are they going to stay here?"

"It's not Dad," Modo took the hand of the old orc kindly, and stuffed a silver coin into his hand, "Do you know the whereabouts of Geer? Geer—"

"Geor?" The old orc accepted the money familiarly, waved his hand and said, "He's long gone."

"Where did he go?"

"It's gone, it's gone, who knows where he went." The old orc muttered, with a mechanical trill in his throat, "There have been a lot of orcs who disappeared for no reason recently, who knows where they all went, many caves are It’s free, if you want to live, it’s cheaper for you…”

"No need, dad, we have nothing else to do, let's go first."
