Greece brings evildoers - Chapter 499
Two days later, a towering undulation stood on the ground line.
This is a dwarf city. The architectural style is majestic and spectacular. It is backed by a solitary peak and faces the plain. It is built according to the undulating terrain. The houses are scattered high and low, almost hollowing out the entire mountain.
Finally arrived, Turin!
Seeing the destination approaching, everyone in the caravan couldn’t help but breathed a sigh of relief, and their hanging hearts finally settled down.
Among them, the performance of the three goddesses Galadriel, Rose, and Belludante was particularly obvious. They even moved outwards in unison, further distancing themselves from Lorne in the team.
I had no choice but to accidentally owe the other party seven demands.
Naturally, they wanted to avoid this creditor.
Lorne smiled jokingly and didn’t care about the three people’s little actions.
Xiaoxiao educated these three women, just to make them quiet on the road, so that he would not have to fight with them every day.
As for the seven requirements per person, it is an unexpected bonus.
In this regard, Lorne is not in a hurry to put forward conditions. After all, nuclear weapons are most deterrent when they are not used.
~~
Thanks to the golden sign of the [Chamber of Commerce], the caravan’s inspection, tax payment, and entry into the city went smoothly.
Under the leadership of old Gandalf and Belludante, everyone quickly arrived at the Chamber of Commerce’s headquarters.
Even in the capital of the dwarves, where every inch of land is precious, the Chamber of Commerce still has plenty of cards to play.
It not only covers an area of nearly a thousand square meters, but also has a majestic architectural style. There are also two giant wolf sculptures made of cast iron at the door. The style looks like a work from a dwarf workshop, and there are signatures of the seven dwarf clans on it.
Every detail is enough to show the good relationship between dwarves and humans, as well as the potential influence of the Chamber of Commerce.
As soon as everyone walked into the door, a figure as fast as the wind rushed into Beludanti’s arms, and a cheerful and sweet voice came:
“Belle, I can smell your scent from all the way here. Come on, let’s see if you’ve grown recently~!”
Belludante couldn’t help but look embarrassed, held down the head that was sniffing and sniffing in her arms, and reminded her with a straight face:
“President, there are still people here!”
Hearing the displeasure in the voice, Holo ended her daily fun and looked up at everyone, with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze on her face:
“We have received the letter sent by raven. You have done a good job along the way. In this escort mission, all the victims will receive ten times the pension and will be sent home by a dedicated person; the bonus for those who are alive will be tripled. It’s a rare trip to Turin for twenty days of paid leave, so you can have some fun and relax.”
“Thank you, President!”
The voice was unusually neat and loud. It was a kind of excitement and support from the heart. Almost everyone had an expression that they wished they could die for the Chairman.
Holo saw this and was secretly proud of it.
Sure enough, what dad said is right, as long as the money is in place, not only talents can become talents, but not warriors can also become warriors.
pity……
Shaking his head to dispel a certain figure in his mind, Holo, who was in a bad mood, was about to sigh, but suddenly sniffed and looked at a certain figure behind Belludante in confusion.
It was a man with long silver hair and handsome facial features.
Then……
There is nothing after that.
Yes, except for these two characteristics, she seems to be unable to capture the rest of the characteristics of this person.
After thinking about it for a moment, she couldn’t piece together the outline of the other person’s facial features in her mind, as if this person was like a mist that couldn’t be defined.
Something’s wrong!
Holo frowned and stepped forward, her nose sniffing around the man.
Such a weird behavior immediately attracted strange looks from everyone.
Holohun didn’t care, his amber eyes narrowed slightly, and his gaze instantly became sharp: “What’s your name?”
“Lorne.” Lorne announced his name confidently.
Hearing that extremely certain tone, Holo murmured in her heart.
Did you guess wrong?
“Cough~~”
At this time, Belludante coughed slightly and raised her hand to pull the corner of Holo’s clothes.
Holo came back to her senses and saw that Ciri, Galadriel, and Rose who were accompanying them were wary and had their hands on their weapons. She suddenly woke up and regained her formulaic smile:
“Are you the brave men who took action in times of crisis? On behalf of the Chamber of Commerce, we would like to thank you for your righteous deeds. A dinner has been set up in the hall. Let’s have a meal together.”
As the atmosphere eased, Xili and the other three also lowered their guard one after another, and all turned their attention to Lorne, ready to wait for the team leader to make up his mind.
Lorne smiled and accepted the invitation: “Then President Lao will entertain you. We have been traveling for several days and we are also hungry.”
He came to the dwarf country this time just to see how his adopted daughter Holo was doing, so naturally there was no reason to run away as soon as he saw someone.
However, in view of his delicate relationship with the Nordic Gods and Hela’s past experience, he was not prepared to reveal his identity directly and play a father-daughter reunion drama with Holo, lest he get too deeply emotionally involved.
The four of them followed the lead of Holo and Belludante and arrived at the magnificent hall.
Fragrant drinks and a dazzling array of dishes are placed on the table, making people move their fingers at a glance.
In addition, there was an acquaintance waiting in the lobby in advance.
——It was the old wizard Gandalf who accompanied them all the way.
“Formal introduction, Gandalf the Grey, one of the five members of the Warlock Council. The helper we specially invited from the north is also here for this dragon disaster. I believe you have already met on the road, right?”
Holo took the initiative to introduce, and the old man who laughed and cursed along the way and could chat with everyone took off his hat and saluted, laughing and cursing:
“You guys are here, if we don’t start the feast, I’m going to starve to death.”
Seeing an acquaintance present, Xili immediately ran up to meet him.
After some discussion, she learned that this old man who was as kind to her as an elder on the road was actually an old acquaintance of her teacher Yennefer.
Because her teacher is also one of the five members of the Warlock Council. His color is [black] and his status is even higher than Gandalf.
Listening to the exchange between the old and the young, Lorne gradually frowned.
The Warlock Brotherhood is the oldest warlock organization in the northern countries such as Sintra, Norway, Iceland, and Finland. It has autonomy and is independent of the politics of the kingdom. The Warlock Council is its decision-making body and has the power to manage and restrict almost all the wizards in the atrium.
In other words, for this dragon disaster, Holo, who represents the divine power of the atrium, actually got in touch with the [Warlocks] who mastered mysterious powers in the human group.
Is it necessary to mobilize so many troops?
With doubt in his mind, Lorne finished the meal absentmindedly.
As the dinner ended, Holo clapped her hands at the host’s seat.
A team of maids came in carrying trays filled with heavy gold nuggets.
“To thank you for your righteous deeds, I will pay you ten times the salary of the caravan leader. Please accept it.”
Since even Gandalf only took this amount, everyone had no objections and accepted the reward casually.
Seeing that the [price] payment was completed, a sly light flashed in Holo’s eyes and she continued:
“You are here for the dragon disaster, right?”
“Yes, my teacher Yennefer has been cursed and needs the blood of a superior dragon to break it.”
Ciri stood up and responded honestly.
Holo smiled and said: “High-ranking dragon, this is easy to handle. There are three sources of the dragon disaster. The [Chamber of Commerce] and the dwarves have just identified their lair through recent analysis.”
analyze?
Lorne thought for a moment and suddenly realized:
“The dragon-slaying mission issued by the tavern does not expect the adventurers to succeed in slaying the dragons, or to fight against the superior dragons. You want to use these people to attract the attention of the dragons, determine the number of the dragons, and then deduce Where is the main nest of the dragons?”
“good!”
Holo nodded happily and said frankly,
“Three giant dragons with three heads are not something ordinary adventurers can handle. Let them attack in all directions, use different encounters to collect intelligence, and test the number and strength of the dragons in various places. In this way, the caravan will He can follow the clues and locate the main nest of the three giant dragons, and then send special personnel to take action, killing them with one strike.
Comprehensive evaluation, this method is the most effective strategy. “
It’s also the cheapest, right?
Lorne secretly cursed and couldn’t help but sigh that his good daughter was becoming more and more like a street lamp pendant.
Just by issuing a bounty order with her mouth, thousands of adventurers can act as human detectors for her, clearing trade routes for the Chamber of Commerce. And in the end, the dwarves were responsible for footing the bill, and she didn’t have to pay a penny. It was so evil.
However, except for him, no one present condemned Holo’s capitalist behavior. Instead, they admired the wisdom of the president.
Lorne once again cursed the darkness of ancient society while listening carefully.
Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!
Because based on what he knew about Holo, the more frank and harmless the girl was at the beginning, it was often because she was harboring bad ideas.
I’m afraid, what comes next is the highlight.
As expected, Holo changed the topic and showed a troubled expression to Ciri:
“Although we have locked the main nest of the three giant dragons, for the sake of insurance and to prevent more incompetent people from dying in vain, only specially invited teams are qualified to go and slay the dragons. We are really I want to help, but slaying a dragon requires strength, so if I just put you in, it might actually harm you, then we would be too worried about it.”
“What should we do?”
Xili was anxious and a little at a loss.
“Simple.”
Holo reached out and took out a gold-gilded post from the magic circle diagram, placed it on the table, and gave the answer readily:
“This is the certificate for participating in dragon slaying. If you have the ability, just take it from us.”
Upon hearing this, Xili quickly stepped forward without thinking, reaching out to grab the gold-plated post on the table.
The teacher is still suffering from the curse. Whether he can obtain dragon blood and cure the teacher’s illness depends entirely on it.
However, the moment her fingertips were about to touch the post, her body flew backwards like a cannonball, smashing several tables in succession.
Amidst the smoke and dust, Holo held her chin in one hand and played with the gold-plated invitation on the table with the other, shaking her head helplessly:
“Little girl, it seems you are not strong enough.”
Immediately, she looked past Xili who fell to the ground, and raised her fingers to the other three people in the team:
“How about it, do you want to come together?”
Seeing the playfulness deep in Holo’s eyes and the particularly open space in the hall, Lorne immediately understood that tonight’s fight was inevitable.
At the same time, the arrogant Galadriel and Rose could not bear such stimulation. One bent the bow and put the arrow, and the other drew the dagger. They attacked Holo in front of them at the same time.
Gently sideways, shaking the head, and moving, three elven secret arrows wrapped in emerald green light missed one after another. Holo stretched forward two fingers like a prophet, clamped a purple-black dagger that emerged from the air, and snorted disdainfully:
“If this is the strength, you want to take the dragon-slaying ticket from us, but it is not enough.”
Galadriel snorted coldly, her lips and teeth moved.
The three elven secret arrows that had originally missed flew back under the guidance of her will, and shot towards Holo’s back in a triangular shape.
Rose, who was the main attacker in front, also attacked fiercely.
She rhythmically moved the power of the gods, and the red and black divine power spread like a spider web, entangled Holo’s limbs, making her unable to move.
More importantly, the spider silk also contains a powerful divine poison, which is invisible and intangible and difficult to guard against. Once the opponent is touched, he will immediately fall into a state of paralysis and weakness, becoming a fish meat at the mercy of others.
“Interesting…”
Holo took a little more seriousness, and the golden red divine power gushed out of her body, turning into a blazing flame, instantly burning the poisonous divine spider silk and the flying elf secret arrow. And the rich power of abundance also flowed through her body, purifying the divine toxins that invaded it.
“Dang!”
Accompanied by the sharp sound of metal clashing, the red and black dagger that Rose stabbed at Holo’s throat with her other hand was held down by a wolf claw with a golden glow.
Holo, who easily defended all attacks, laughed jokingly:
“Anything else?”
“And me!”
A loud shout came from under the messy tables and chairs. Holo was looking in the direction of the sound, and a silver-gray figure emerged from behind her without warning, holding a silver sword and slashing down quickly.
“Bang!”
The sword fell to the ground, and more than a dozen marble floors shattered instantly, and a few brown wolf hairs fell in the wind.
Holo touched the damaged ends of her hair and looked at Ciri with some doubt.
Just a moment ago, this little girl actually disappeared from her perception field, which was incredible.
I didn’t expect that a mortal would have such a rare thing as the blood of time and space, right?
Lorne’s eyes were teasing, and he was very happy to see his good daughter suffer.
Since he hadn’t been suppressing her for so many years, Holo had obviously become more arrogant.
From her attitude towards Rose and the other two, it can be seen that she didn’t take them as a dish at all.
But these three have long been out of the category of miscellaneous soldiers.
One of them is a genuine female evil god, who was hunted down by Odin who led troops to suppress the rebellion, and is still alive and kicking; the other is the future queen of elves, with both strength and speed, and both magic and martial arts; the last one is called [Daughter of Time and Space], and the ancient blood in her body can disturb time and space to a small extent, which is most suitable for attacking the opponent by surprise.
While Lorne was gloating, Holo glared at him as if she had sensed something.
Lorne immediately stopped his unscrupulous smile and acted as if nothing had happened, so as not to expose himself.
Holo’s eyes turned around Lorne’s face and snorted coldly: “Are you done? Now, it’s our turn!”
The three women heard this, as if they were facing a great enemy, and chose to move closer and be on guard.
Just now, the three of them joined forces, but only made the president who only defended but did not attack lose a hair.
Now she has to fight back with all her strength, and the consequences will be disastrous.
Seeing this, Holo raised a little arc at the corner of her mouth, rushed to the dining table in the corner, and a wolf claw as fast as thunder stabbed at the throat of a spectator outside the venue.
Despicable!
The incident happened suddenly, and the three women were stunned by the unexpected rhythm. They could only curse inwardly, but it was too late to rescue.
As the claws got closer and closer to the target, Holo’s face showed a black smile of success.
Invitations are not important, as long as she wants as many as she wants, this is her real purpose.
Humph, you liar, let us see who you are!
“Puff!”
The golden wolf claws pierced through the table, and the dishes flew everywhere.
Looking at the figure whose chest was pierced and whose body turned into light spots and shattered into pieces, Holo’s face turned black, gritted her teeth and looked behind her.
“Thank you for the invitation, Mr. President.” Luo En shook the invitation he had just picked up from the table, smiling as before.
