Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 395: distrust

The escaping smell of dragon blood scared away the surrounding fish, and the manta rays that were lying together scattered in a hurry, but it caught Siegel's attention. Manta rays are flat, blanket-like creatures that use their broad wings to "fly" in the ocean. It likes to lie on the bottom of the water and use its mouth under its body to rummage for shellfish and fish and shrimp.

Usually this creature is mild-mannered and likes to play with diving sailors. Siegel often picks up their wide wings and lets them cruise the sea with them. However, manta rays don't like to lie down when they eat, so there may be oddities in their congregation.

The two walked over from the bottom of the water, and finally found what they had been looking for. On the bottom of the water here, there is a circular man-made metal top cover with a diameter of two meters, and there are still traces of just opening it. This must be the place where the corpse of the glue monster was abandoned. There are other **** nearby, such as lots of broken pieces of meat or food scraps, which is what attracts small fish and thus attracts manta rays.

Siegel put his hand on the metal cover, letting the power of elemental perception see through. There are no magical fluctuations here, but there is a force field spell under the lid that blocks the flow of water. I am afraid it is because there are often schools of fish passing by here. In order to avoid being harassed by alarms all day, there are only protective spells here, no warning spells.

Maybe there will be a warning spell after entering the passage, but at least it can be used as a breakthrough. Siegel placed a runestone next to the metal cover, buried it with sand, and covered it with an anemone. This rune stone has no other function except that it can emit weak magic waves to be perceived and located.

Siegel gave a thumbs up, signaling the dwarf to get out of the water. When the dwarf finally got out of the water and breathed fresh air, the dwarf overcame his nervousness and was able to think normally.

"Let's go back." Siegel grabbed Yao En and performed flying. The two bypassed the cliff and made a large circle at sea before returning to the town. All the way, the mage was thinking about how to open the metal lid silently. To look inside the passage, the results did not pay attention to the dwarf's situation.

When they got ashore, Yao En was pale and his lips were trembling. The hands and feet became stiff.

"Damn, forgot about this!" Siegel hurriedly cast a spell, warmed him with the element of fire, and poured Yao En a healing potion.

It's still winter, and the waters in the south are not frozen though. But still cold. Siegel's armor has the function of adapting to the environment and keeping it warm in winter and cool in summer, and he also wears a life support ring, and he doesn't notice anything wrong. Yao En, the dwarf, did not have such good equipment. He was afraid of the sea water. He stayed underwater for a long time. After he surfaced, he was blown by the cold wind at the speed of flight, and he fell ill immediately.

Siegel hugged Yao En and climbed up from the small dock. The workers who were loading the ship stared blankly at the two of them, until Siegel called out loudly.

"Is there any spirits to keep you warm! My friend fell into the water!"

The only thing that is usually stocked on sea ships is rum. A thirst-quenching drink that doesn't taste spicy and doesn't spoil for a long time. However, sailors usually bring some private goods in the mezzanine of the cabin, and a bottle or two of good spirits can still be found. Although the high price of three gold coins is required, it can be a life saver for gnomes.

Yao En was choked on by the alcohol and coughed continuously, but at least there was a rosy color on his face. "I'll take you to Anomen right now, you're sure to be fine, don't worry."

Siegel hugged the dwarf and walked quickly towards the "South China Sea Guard Castle". On the way, he saw Anomen who was preaching the doctrine of the Mother Earth.

The priest held the holy emblem and recited the hymn to the Mother Earth with a magnetic voice, hoping to attract the audience with the thoughts of kindness, protection and mutual assistance. But next to him. Except for Evan, who was squatting on the ground and painting on the sand with branches, looking bored, there was only a woman holding a nursing child listening to his speech. After a while, it was estimated that the sun was getting enough. The mother and son also staggered away.

Siegel ran straight to Arnomen: "Pastor, Yao En was cold in the water, and the situation is not good now, come and see."

In fact, after drinking a few sips of spirits, the dwarf's condition has begun to improve, but it will take time to regain control of his body. Anomen placed the holy emblem of the Mother Earth on top of Yao En's head. With words in his mouth, he devoted himself to praying for him. A warm and soft light radiated from the holy emblem and enveloped the gnome's body. The trembling fingers gradually calmed down, and Yao En closed his eyes relaxedly and fell asleep.

"It's alright, you'll get better with a good rest, you won't even have a fever." The pastor picked Yao En up and stood up: "Let's go back first."

Wrapped in a thick blanket, leaning against the burning fireplace, with steaming potions in both hands, Yao En woke up like this after a good night's sleep. There is no fever, no headache, and no other symptoms of hypothermia. Now he just keeps sneezing and his runny nose can't stop.

"This is that the body is gradually recovering, and the prayer to drive away the disease will not let him get out of this state immediately." Anomen said after checking again: "Don't worry, there is nothing serious."

"But this way, I can't keep quiet." Yao En was sneezing and sneezing, looking embarrassed. "When I sneezed, the whole aisle heard it."

"What channel? Why did you guys go into the water?" Naria stared at Siegel, looking a little angry: "You're fine, you made Yao En so miserable."

"I'm really sorry, this was not my intention." Siegel said sincerely: "I found a clue at the time, and I was too excited to ignore these details."

"I don't blame him for this. I overestimated my physical fitness." Yao En sniffed, and then said, "There is really something weird under Shaq Manor, at least we found a large underground project, only the bottom of the sea. The passage is hundreds of meters long, and it is specially used to discard garbage and jelly monsters."

"Glue monster?" Evan was refreshed: "Is it the kind we met in the hotel?"

"That's right. We found at least two dozen corpses of gelatin monsters that have turned into rocks, so there should be more in their base." Siegel went on to describe the situation around the undersea passage and the defenses of Shaq Manor and the cliff. After a brief introduction, I asked Evan, "What did you see in town?"

"Boring, we've been bored." Evan shook his head: "I don't want to do this kind of thing a second time."

Anomen didn't feel this way, and he still smiled: "Although not many people stay away from stopping and listening, the people here did not disturb us, and no believers of the God of Murder came to make trouble, so everything is fine."

"Alright? You're too optimistic." Evan waved his hand: "You talk too much, I don't think you've noticed that the townspeople here treat the two of us as clowns on the show. The ridicule in their eyes and I don't miss the arrogance, as if they were higher than us in their faith. Like they called themselves dukes, marquis, and all that stuff, they all felt so good about themselves, it was unbearable ."

"Fortunately, our job isn't to teach them the right way to live," Siegel said to the two women. "You have no trouble in the hotel, are you?"

"Thanks to you, Jagger slept for a long time, but he really didn't remember anything after waking up." Naria's tone was still cold, and she said to everyone: "After you left, there were a few waves of people. When I came here, it was called congratulations for hanging up a new brand name. In fact, my eyes turned to us from time to time, and it was estimated that spies came to touch the situation. And there is one thing that I think is very strange. "

"The child we rescued during the trip reappeared. He was carrying a basket of cheese to deliver to Jagger. After seeing the two of us, he came over and thanked us." Naria frowned. , rubbing his fingers on the table: "Do you remember the look of fear he looked at at that time? Now he has become very enthusiastic, as if he has changed a person. I asked in a side-by-side manner, and he said that his sister asked him, We should be grateful to the benefactor."

Siegel and Yao En looked at each other, this doubt should not be let go. "Did he say anything other than thanks?"

"I was worried that my half-elf bloodline would be seen at close range, so I excused my discomfort and left first." Naria tugged at Amon, who was whispering to Evan, at this time just reacted.

"Ah... what did you say?" Aemon rubbed her hands, and finally came back to her senses: "That child? That child was chatting with me very well, and my sister and sister kept calling. He said that he was at that time. Terrified, so rude or something, nothing important."

"Did he..." Yao En sneezed, "Did he mention his experience of being arrested again?"

"Oh, he said this, with a little more detail. Originally, he was picking mushrooms in the woods, and a figure swayed in front of him, and he fainted. When he woke up, he was already outside the inn, and we were rescued by us. He did say where the forest where he was attacked is~www.readwn.com~ Please don't go there. He said he didn't dare to go there, maybe there are ghosts inside."

"This excuse is convenient." Yao En wiped his nose, "As I always tell you, adventurers should not be curious, competitive and competitive, or they will definitely be used. I think this child is here. test us."

"Ah?" Imon blew away the hair that fell to his cheeks, looking surprised. Evan smiled stupidly on the side, looking at Aemon's expression.

"Let's just say that I accidentally fell into the water and became seriously ill. I need to rest for a few days. Anomen, you and Amon will go to the market tomorrow to buy some herbs and tools that can work underwater and on cliffs. If that child reappears, Then there must be something wrong with him, but you don't show any flaws." The dwarf said: "Naria, you and Jay go to Shaq Manor to see the magic defense there, as well as the air vent on the cliff, can it be used as a passageway? Go in and out, but don't startle the snake, you have to wait for me to recover. You stay with me, Evan."

"It's such a boring task again." Evan pouted and complained, but did not object. (To be continued.)
