Twenty Sided Dice

Chapter 46: Waterdeep Nine

Jack reached out and took it, hiding the wallet. Siegel took out another ruby, about the size of a fingernail, and gave it to Jack. He said: "If you are really in danger, the most important thing is to save your life. It's okay to hand over all the money. This gem is also given to you, and you can live a good life after returning home."

At this time, Buck-toothed Johnnys came back and ran out of breath. After he came in, he took a few breaths, and then said, "I asked, and there is no caravan heading south for the time being. The previous one left about two days ago, taking the Gap Cape Avenue."

"Didn't you leave in two days?" Siegel asked

Johnny took a few deep breaths, shook his head and said, "Recently, there have been very few shipments from Waterdeep City, and no ships have arrived, so the caravan cannot gather together. I guess it will take half a month to get better. The caravan set out. But there are still merchants on foot, but there is no security guarantee."

"I have a request." Jack looked around, and then said rather embarrassedly, "I can ride a horse, can you give me a horse?"

"Why are you so ignorant..." Before Johnny's words could be finished, Siegel reached out his hand to stop him.

"Okay, no problem, Johnny can help me bring the horse here." Siegel shook his head and said slowly, "If I still have a chance to find the old captain, just like this little brother can still find his father. Same, how nice that would be."

With tears in his eyes, Jack nodded vigorously: "Thank you."

Bucktooth brought a horse, which they had just prepared a few days ago. This horse is very quiet and has a tame personality, perfect for long journeys. Johnny was upset, but he just expressed it on his face, staring at Jack with what he thought was scary, but still handed the reins to the little boy.

"Okay, let's hit the road," Siegel said. "You go all the way south on Gap Point Avenue. If you can catch up with the caravan, follow them, so you will be safer when you encounter wild animals. You I have also seen slave traders and survived from dangerous places, I believe you can take good care of yourself."

Jack nodded and rode away. But he only ran a few dozen paces before he stopped and looked back. He saw that Siegel had turned his head and went back to the house, busy with his own business, and no one stopped him, so he rode back again.

He opened the door himself, slipped through the living room, and saw Siegel in the backyard, stretching his limbs, ready to exercise. Jack knocked on the door frame and walked over.

"Hey, why are you back? Is there anything else?" Siegel asked suspiciously.

"I know you want an interpreter to go to the north. In fact, I also know Savage and Orc." Jack replied, "Actually, I know many languages. I have been sensitive to languages ​​since I was a child, and I have been with people for a long time. You can learn their words. I have been with wildling slaves from the north, and I have learned a lot of Horde words. I can help you, but I can't write."

"Then you are really amazing." Siegel said, "but you should still go to your father instead of following me to the north on an adventure."

"I can take care of myself and won't drag you down. Besides, I want to help you, and I owe you a favor."

"You don't owe me anything, you just owe me to go home safely." Siegel shook his head, his eyes softened, and explained: "I don't know who my parents are, but I know that I still have the feeling of being a family member. More aware of the grief of being alone, so you should go home well."

Jack stepped forward, reached out and patted Siegel's cheek, then squeezed and let out a long breath. Siegel didn't know why, but his face hurt so much, he opened Jack's hand and said, "What are you doing?"

"Wait for me a moment and let me think about it." Jack looked a little dazed, his eyes full of hesitation and unease. He said, "I'll borrow your toilet first!"

After speaking, he ran back to the room and almost knocked down Ms. Linda.

"What happened, why did he come back?"

"I don't know either. I always find it a bit mysterious." Siegel scratched his head and spread his hands. "Maybe he was sold by slave traders, and he was always nervous."

"Poor child. Originally a good person, but went through such a terrible ordeal."

"I've seen the slaves being traded on the orc slave ship. It's like hell." Siegel still has lingering fears every time he thinks of it. "There was once a man who was tortured insane. After being rescued, he plunged his head into the sea when he brought it on deck, but he couldn't stop him. He thought we were all slave traders and couldn't hear anything. At that time, we were still in the sea. He still had wounds on his body, which would attract sharks in the water. Several of us sailors could not catch up with him in swimming, so we could only watch him die by a shark in the end. But even in the mouth of a shark, he actually Still laughing, shouting that he is free."

"It's really scary." Ms. Linda sighed while covering her mouth, "Oh, I'd better go see Jack."

At this time, there were light footsteps from upstairs, and it was estimated that Jack had come down. Ms. Linda turned back to the house and suddenly screamed and she was heard falling to the floor. Siegel rushed in and found a man he had never seen standing on the stairs.

A girl with short red hair was wearing Jack's clothes. She had a beautiful face and was very similar to Jack, except that there were two short sharp horns on her head, and her pupils were the same dark red as her hair. A slender, long tail swayed from behind, seemingly dissatisfied with being tied by a belt. She stretched out her hand, ready to help Ms. Linda, but after seeing Siegel, her movements stagnated, and her face was very frightened, like a child who did something wrong.

She is a demon descendant. Although she does not know the specific bloodline inheritance, in short, she has the blood of the race of evil creatures flowing in her body. Many people thought that the demons were born after the devil tempted mortals, but Siegel's knowledge told him that it was only a long time ago that the **** demon king injected the essence of the demons into the blood of the mortals, polluted and transformed the demons. The Demon King blends cunning, hypocrisy, and cruelty into this bloodline in order to be the vanguard of its conquest of the mortal world.

The appearance and character of the demons are not their fault, and many demons are also trying to resist the evil nature in their blood, but the biggest difficulty is to fight against the general public's perception of them. Whatever they do, they are labelled as suspects, considered thieves, liars, villains and bearers of bad luck. After dealing with this kind of distrust for a long time, the vast majority of demons succumbed to or indulged the evil elements in their blood, and degenerated into **** creatures. The few demons who are still insisting will also use various means to disguise themselves to protect themselves from prejudice. But as long as this prejudice exists, no matter where they are, they are actually being hurt.

"Mr. Siegel, I promise it's not my fault." Jack hurriedly said, "This is what I really look like. I usually use my abilities to change my appearance and gender."

"I understand, Ms. Linda was just taken aback, it's all right." Siegel lifted the housekeeper and moved her to a chair. Jack hurriedly took a glass of water, and then stood nervously in the corner of the room.

"Okay, you're a demon, I noticed." Seeing her so pitiful, Siegel quickly comforted: "Don't worry, I'm not a fool, I know the origin of the demon. As long as you don't do bad things, there's no need to worry Me. But I can't guarantee that I can stop the hostility and prejudice of people outside."

"Well, okay." Jack said, "my name is not Jack, but Janet. People call me Jack to save trouble. I also have a nickname called Kitten. My father is also a demon, However, his appearance is basically the same as that of a human being, except that his skin is a little red. I don't want to go back now, so let me stay with you?

"If you think about it, you can stay." Siegel agreed without any hesitation: "Although I know this is unfair to you, you should usually hide the characteristics of demons. Don't think too much, I'm actually doing that now."

"Huh? I didn't notice that you smell like demons? How did you do it?"

"I'm not a demon, but I've never met someone with the same features as me. I have black hair and black pupils, and my brown hair is dyed. In fact, many people also ask me about my appearance. Xi, the original pure curiosity can also cause a lot of trouble. So we are all face-changing people, and this is evened out."

"Okay, I promise you. I will pretend to be human."

"Don't change your gender, otherwise I'll feel awkward."

"Hee hee!" Janet smiled happily.

When Mrs. Linda-Dip woke up, she saw that Siegel and Janet were eating biscuits made of milk, talking and laughing. She was very puzzled, but still accepted the explanation given to her by Siegel: Jack was actually Janet disguised as a man, a decision made to protect the safety of a girl, not malicious deception. I just saw Janet's women's clothes just now, and I was so shocked that I accidentally fell down. There was a bag on the back of my head, and I might have hallucinations. I need a good rest.

"But I saw one..." Ms. Linda chose her words carefully, and then said, "I saw a pink tail."

"Maybe it's the hanging belt." Siegel asked with concern: "You fell hard at the time, did you still have a headache, do you need me to go to the pastor to have a look, or ask Carl to come back?"

"No, no, Karl is so busy, don't call him~www.readwn.com~ Ms. Linda shook her head and felt dizzy again: "I think I should go to bed and rest again. "

Kitten, or Janet, said she would follow Siegel to the north to "play". Siegel would have been very dissenting, so Janet showed him superb disguising techniques. In just an hour, Siegel has turned into a half-orc. With the muscles he has developed, and some herbs used to disguise the smell, he can definitely deceive most of the orcs in the north.

"You are really good at this." Siegel praised: "Although the same effect can be achieved by using spells, it is easy for the orcs to feel the energy fluctuations, but it is more prone to accidents. Your skill is very good. Useful, but how do you protect yourself?"

"You can teach me! I see that you are very good at the rippling moonlight. You can teach me, and I am very happy to learn."

Siegel looked at her thin arms and legs and could only shake his head. "I can teach you the steps of the elf and how to use the crossbow. If I have time, I can talk about the skills of throwing knives and daggers. But apart from the steps, I only know some fur."

"This is already very powerful!" Janet's big eyes flickered, full of envy: "Do you know how many people don't know any weapons?"

Siegel was very happy after being praised, so he said as if offering a treasure: "I can also teach you how to use a whip and a lasso. I practiced it myself!"

So they prepared two more days for Jiritni's equipment, and after Yarel arrived, they headed north.
