Chapter 193 Arriving at Tuge City

It seemed that because of seeing Grace, the face of the monster named Nicole softened a lot.

"Haha, for strong power, some costs are inevitable, aren't they? Grace, you know, I have already had this experience once!" Nicole's deep voice came.

Yirenai on the side found it hard to believe that she actually saw warmth in the eyes of this ugly monster.

The look the other party looked at Grace was so soft, just like the loving look the husband looked at his wife who was cooking when he came home.

Irene seemed to remember that before she became a senior spider girl, Grace was slightly older than her. I heard that she had a very loving partner at that time, but later it seemed that she was removed from the family due to the opposition of her mistress. Forced separation.

"I came here this time to ask for your help." Grace lowered her head, as if she was embarrassed to say this.

"Oh, it seems my little Grace has encountered some difficulty?" Nicole asked still pleasantly.

"Nicol, I hope you can help us retrieve the Nightmare Mirror."

"Hey, has the Price family fallen to this level now? This important family bloodline magic weapon has fallen into the hands of the enemy." Nicole said disdainfully.

"It seems that this disgusting woman Benita Price is becoming more and more useless. I heard that you are fighting against the human wizards on the surface. It seems that the Price family will be destroyed soon." Sweeped into the dustbin of history.”

Nicole seemed to have some objections to Benita, the matron of the Price family, and her words became increasingly unpleasant and her expression became agitated.

"Shut up! I won't allow you to insult the mistress!" Irene yelled with a red face.

She was originally very dissatisfied with Nicole, a guy who betrayed the family and the night elves, but she didn't expect him to be so bold as to directly insult the matron of the Price family in front of the two spider women.

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, a dark green vine flashed past, and Yirenai was directly hit seven or eight meters away, and fell heavily to the ground!

After rolling around in a circle, Yirena had a blood-red stripe mark on her slender waist.

Only then did she realize that she had been whipped severely by the strange vines controlled by Nicole.

"Stop! Nicole!" Grace took a step and stood between Nicole and Irene.

"Okay, for your sake, I'll spare her." Nicole glanced disdainfully at Irene lying on the ground and said.

His current strength has been greatly improved after the last sacrifice to Xavius, the King of Jade Fire.

His status is also in the Jade Fire Church, from an ordinary believer to a deacon, directly promoted to the level of a priest, and his strength has already surpassed most of the high-level spider women.

Basically, Nicole is confident that the entire Price family, as long as Benita's cousin doesn't take action, he is not afraid of anyone.

"Damn it!!" Yirenai angrily grabbed the dirt on the ground, and the veins in her white palms bulged from the tight grip.

Showing her deviant anger!

How have I ever suffered such humiliation since becoming a high-level spider woman!

"Go to hell!!" Yirena's slender arms instantly turned into extremely sharp dark blade arms. She kicked hard with her soles, and the soil flew around, leaving only an afterimage on the spot!

The next second, Irena appeared directly in front of Nicole, her body like a cheetah tensed and leaped high, and her two blade arms were crossed and slashed down hard.

She wanted to let the other party know that the dignity of the senior spider woman should not be insulted!

"Ding!!"

Sparks fly!

Irene's full-strength jump slash was firmly caught by Nicole's sharp right claw.

Under Irene's horrified gaze, in an instant, Nicole raised her leg and kicked hard, no, raised her hoof, and kicked hard on Irene's soft abdomen.

In an instant, Yirena seemed to be knocked away by a giant beast, and she felt a sudden tearing pain in her intestines.

Yirenai returned to the ground where she was originally lying at a faster speed than when she came, and even slid several meters!

As Yirena fell to the ground again.

This time, she tried several times but couldn't get up.

Yirenai was inexplicably horrified!

The opponent's kick just now made her abdomen cramp at the moment. Nicole was simply a monster. The power contained in her body was too great. The jump slash she launched with all her strength was easily blocked by him with one hand!

Finally, with the help of Grace, he slowly got up.

"If it weren't for Grace's sake, Spider Girl, your body would have been placed on the altar of the Jade Fire Church and sacrificed to the respected Lord Xavius, the Jade Fire King!" Nicole said in a low voice. The voice sounded.

This time, Yirenai didn't dare to say anything anymore and stood aside with her head lowered. She didn't know what she was thinking, but judging from her trembling body, it was obvious that her heart was not so peaceful.

"Tell me, Grace, how do you want me to help you?"

"Well, the Nightmare Mirror should now be on the body of a traitor Shadra, but she is now mixed up with Disol of the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, and there are two miscellaneous fish guards around her." Grace slowly told With.

In her eyes, the senior gray dwarf wizard Disol was a much greater threat. In the last battle, it was because of Disol's sudden appearance that she was stopped by Disol, causing her mission to fail!

Secondly, there is the traitor Shadra. Although he did not see it, Felidi's death must be related to this traitor!

As for the human and the fishman, they are just two miscellaneous fish, not worth mentioning!

"Desol? That drunkard wizard of the gray dwarf, I've heard of him, he seems to be pretty good."

Nicole seemed to be recalling Dissol's strength, and there was a silence.

Grace looked at Nicole's calm expression and knew that Dissol's strength did not seem to be taken to heart. It seemed that, as she expected, Nicole's strength had been greatly improved!

He actually didn't even look down on a senior first-level wizard like Dissol.

"By the way, Grace, did you just say that Shadra betrayed?" Nicole seemed to know Shadra as well and asked curiously.

Grace nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, I don't know the specific reason, but it is true that Shadra betrayed the mistress, killed Dorothy and stole the Nightmare Mirror."

Grace did not mention the blood of the black dragon. You must know that even the Jade Fire Church where Nicole belongs is extremely interested in the blood of such a powerful creature as the black dragon.

If any member can obtain the blood of the black dragon and sacrifice it to Xavius, the King of Jade Fire, he will definitely receive great benefits.

Strength improvement or treasure rewards, etc. are all possible.

Therefore, she was also worried about whether Nicole would help her find it after knowing the existence of the black dragon's source blood.

But for bloodline magic weapons like the Nightmare Mirror, the demon Xavius ​​is much less interested.

"Haha, it's so interesting. I found that I kind of like Shadra. What a betrayal!" Nicole laughed heartily.

"you"

"But don't worry, I can help you kill Disol, but Shadra is still left to you to deal with. After all, this is an internal matter of your Price family." Nicole glanced at Grace teasingly.

This made Grace feel uncomfortable.

Nicole had always been her most loyal fan.

But as he rebelled against the Price family and joined the Jade Fire Church, although his strength improved rapidly, his body became more and more alienated. Now it seems that even his mind has changed a lot.

Nicole, who used to obey her words, has gradually drifted away.

Grace had a hunch that this was probably the last time she would turn to Nicole for help. It seemed that soon, the original loyal "Guardian Knight" would only exist in her memory.

"Okay!" Grace felt helpless.

But it would be enough for Nicol to take action against Dissol.

If he and Irena work together to take down Shadra and her two servants, it won't be a big problem.

"Then when can you leave?"

"Where are they now?" Nicole asked.

"It should be in Gray Fern Town. No, not necessarily. It may be on the way from Gray Fern Town to Tuge City." Grace explained.

"Tuge City?" Nicole murmured as if thinking about something.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Grace's heart began to rise again. She was worried that Nicole would change her mind.

If the other party changes his mind, he really can't think of any way to complete the task assigned by his mistress.

Recently, my mistress's temper has become more and more irritable. I'm afraid if I go back like this...

"No, there's no problem."

"I just thought of something interesting. If the other party has really entered Tuge City, maybe we can change the plan slightly." An evil smile appeared on the corner of Nicole's mouth.

Grace was stunned for a moment, and felt a bad feeling in her heart——

It's almost noon, and I get up just now when I'm craving for food and drink.

Dissol, who had a chicken coop on his head and dark bags under his eyes, couldn't help but see a ghostly expression when he saw the energetic Richard, and said: "Your Excellency Li Liwei, your breath."

The opponent's aura has obviously increased significantly, and the faint blood aura of the swamp giant lingering on his body cannot be deceived.

The opponent is now in the residual period of bloodline essence. What this means is self-evident!

Disol had no idea that when he was so drunk that Levi, the young wizard in front of him, would burn the swamp giant blood he had just obtained to stimulate the growth of his own mental power.

This kind of execution is simply terrifying!

No wonder his strength has reached this level at such a young age. At the same time, he is also a rare alchemist of the bomb branch. He is truly the king of time management!

He originally thought that the other party would at least wait until he got to Tuge City, washed away his fatigue and adjusted his body to the best condition, before he would consider burning source blood to increase his mental power. Unexpectedly.

"Your Excellency Levi, your diligence really puts me to shame." Dissol couldn't help but admired from the bottom of his heart.

The twin gray dwarf girls on the side also opened their big bright eyes at this time, looking at the young Richard in front of them, and then at their master, with expressions of surprise on their faces.

In comparison, his master is too lazy.

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Dissol. By the way, should we set off for Tuge City?" Richard smiled slightly and put the topic aside.

"Oh, yes, that's what I was about to say. In order to resist another attack by the night elves, Hansel, the garrison commander of Gray Fern Town, arranged for a group of gray dwarf argali knights to escort us to Tuge City. "

"They should arrive soon. After they arrive, we will set off for Tuge City. Do you think this arrangement is okay? Your Excellency Levi." Dissol explained with pride.

Ordinary wizards obviously would not receive this kind of treatment. This was because Disol was older than Hansel. When Hansel was young, Disol had helped him many times.

In human terms, this is connections!

"Of course it's no problem, Lord Dissol, thank Commander Hansel for me." Richard smiled.

Obviously, he also realized this. It seems that Dissol still has a lot of face.

The local garrison commander actually sent people to protect him. Although the formal significance was greater than the actual significance, after all, neither he nor Disol, as masters at the official wizard level, needed an argali whose strength was only equivalent to the level of a third-level wizard apprentice. Knight protection.

However, there is a team of gray dwarf argali knights guarding them. Even if they are attacked by night elves, they can still resist them slightly, which is better than nothing.

After a few people packed their bags and went downstairs, they happened to meet the argali knights arriving at the door of the hotel.

I saw twelve gray dwarves in thick plate armor, riding on strong and sturdy argali, with high spirits. There were six more argali at the rear of the team, which seemed to be specially prepared for them.

"Your Excellency Levi, this must be your first time riding a bighorn sheep. They have a docile character. Unless they encounter a battle or are in estrus, they will attack the enemy with their huge curved horns." Dissoll patted one. Argali sheep, Tao.

Richard nodded.

I saw that the size of the bighorn sheep is not much larger than that of the goats on the ground, but it is very strong, especially the muscles of the legs are intertwined and appear to be extremely powerful.

It is characterized by a pair of significant curved large horns. The horns are twisted downwards in a spiral shape, with ring edges on the outside. The overall length of the horns reaches more than one meter.

According to Dissol, these bighorn sheep that serve as mounts are all male rams. They will not shy away from fighting ferocious beasts. They are also one of the main mounts of gray dwarves.

Seeing everyone jumping on the big horned argali, Richard also jumped on and found that the riding comfort was indeed good.

The hair on the back of the bighorn sheep is soft, and it runs very smoothly. Even if it faces bumpy and undulating roads, it still walks on flat ground.

This reminded him of his previous Winter Wolf mount, which was also so good to ride.

After three days of trekking, Richard and his party were getting closer and closer to Tuge City.

At this time, the road network was becoming more and more dense, with trails constantly merging into the main road, and the main road they were traveling on began to become wider and wider.

From the original width of four people walking side by side, now at least eight people can walk side by side.

Many travelers and caravans encountered along the way would take the initiative to avoid and salute when they saw Richard and others being escorted by a group of gray dwarf knights.

Richard was observing the gray dwarf caravan and found that large goods were still carried by heavy-bearing beasts like unicorn lizards. It seemed that the gray dwarves were not as powerful as he imagined, similar to the Watt steam engine in his previous life. Some kind of energy-driven era.

In other words, the energy used by puppet masters like Dissol to drive puppets should be due to technical requirements or other restrictions, and has not been promoted on a large scale.

"Hey! Is that a lighthouse or a streetlight ahead?" Richard said softly, quite unexpectedly.

Far ahead, I saw several lights shining like beacons, illuminating the road ahead.

Dissol introduced with a smug look on his face: "This is a lighthouse, Your Excellency Levi. It is the result of the gray dwarves' exquisite craftsmanship and the special ore flame stone. Even the night elves in the Underdark are unable to decorate it. "

"And around the big cities of our gray dwarves, there are these kind of flaming stone lighthouses scattered around, pointing the way forward for travelers coming and going."

Richard nodded.

Dissol started to introduce it non-stop on the side. The general idea was that this kind of flame stone itself has the power of fire. After the gray dwarves mined it, they used a special method to slowly release the power of fire contained in it.

A fist-sized flame stone can be used above the lighthouse for months.

Within the range that Richard could see with his naked eyes, he saw no less than a dozen lighthouses, and this was the number of lighthouses in one direction of Tuge City. Considering that there are so many gray dwarf cities, the number of lighthouses is countless. In one year, It costs a lot of money.

"Hey! Then why doesn't Gray Fern Town have this kind of lighthouse?" Richard asked curiously.

"Haha, Mr. Levi, you will know it when you get to the lighthouse."

As Richard walked further and further, when he almost reached a lighthouse, he realized that the lighthouse was taller than he thought. In addition to guiding travelers and distant pedestrians, the area it could illuminate was also very large. .

The soft light of the flame stone shrouded the area, and what seemed to be barley on the ground was planted.

A breeze blew by, and the golden ears of wheat rustled.

This made Richard stunned for a moment, and at the same time he realized that he seemed to have tasted the malt in the Tugger liquor he drank yesterday. At that time, he was still wondering where the gray dwarves got the malt, and it turned out that the answer was here.

Continuing to move forward, when the group arrived at the bottom of the huge flame stone lighthouse, Richard discovered that there were continuous light blue giant-winged moths attacking the flame stone, seemingly trying to extinguish each other.

The bodies of these light blue moths are only about the size of a fist, but their wings are quite huge, about the size of a cattail fan with a diameter of half a meter. Among a large group of fist-sized blue moths there will be a few extraordinarily huge and gorgeous ones. moth.

Although the gray dwarves have set up a protective metal net around the flame stone, these light blue giant-winged moths are still fearless of life and death and continue to move forward.

Richard had excellent eyesight and could clearly see that after a blue moth died from the light and heat radiation emitted by the flame stone, its body was hung on the metal net, but the moth's body fluids also began to gradually corrode the metal. The net made a sizzling sound.

Therefore, if you want to ensure the long-term lighting of the flame stone, you need to ensure that too many moths are not allowed to fly on the metal mesh within a period of time. Otherwise, not only the metal mesh will be damaged, but the flame stone inside will also be quickly destroyed. The blue moths corrode away.

At the same time, the occasionally large and gorgeous moths that appear occasionally are particularly destructive to the metal mesh.

Therefore, there is a group of gray dwarf apprentices whose strength level is around the level of third-level wizard apprentices. They are using zero-level witchcraft alternately under the lighthouse to eliminate too many blue moths.

Most of the time, though, they only target those gorgeous moths that are extraordinarily large.

Seeing this scene, Richard naturally wanted to understand why there were no such lighthouses around Gray Fern Town. It was obviously not because he didn't want to, but because he couldn't.

Only large cities with large populations will have enough wizard schools and train enough wizard apprentices to complete this work.

Soon after, a majestic giant city appeared in front of Richard.

"Your Excellency Levi, we are here!" Seeing the surprise in Richard's eyes, Dissol felt a sense of pride as a gray dwarf.

I saw that the entire Tuge City seemed to be made of a kind of black stone, like a prostrate black beast lying on the vast plain.

Continuing forward, I saw two huge black gray dwarf statues standing at the gate that were tens of meters high, more than ten meters high. It seemed that each statue weighed at least dozens of tons.

Tsk tsk, Richard couldn't help but think in a wicked way. Hearing that short people usually imagine themselves to be tall and powerful.

The statue at the door seems to be a good proof.

Seemingly seeing Richard's eyes being attracted by these two huge statues, Dissol leaned closer and said:

"Your Excellency Levi, I didn't expect you to see it right away. Yes, these two statues are actually giant war golems. They need a second-level wizard to activate the activation technique and enter the secret key to activate them. Their combat power is amazing. "

"Although it cannot reach the level of fighting the dragon in the legend, there is still no big problem in dealing with dragons or dragon-born creatures."

After hearing this, Richard was suddenly shocked. This...

You can see that God is riding a horse!

He didn't expect that he would know this secret just by looking at it twice, which made Richard feel a little bit dumbfounded!

However, Richard still nodded without changing his expression and said: "I deeply admire the gray dwarves' ingenious puppetry skills. If there is an opportunity, I hope to learn the relevant knowledge of puppetry from Mr. Dissol in the future."

"Your Excellency Levi, this is my honor, and I very much hope to have the opportunity to ask you some questions about alchemy bombs." Dissol smiled broadly.

Looking at the flow of people at the door, the teams and pedestrians coming out do not need to be inspected, but the inspection of the teams entering Tuge City is still quite strict.

This immediately made Richard frown.

While Richard was still wondering whether some of the items in his luggage were too sensitive, Dissol, who was standing by him, had already observed his words and said:

"Your Excellency Levi, please rest assured that we are not entering through the ordinary passage. As official wizards, especially members of our gray dwarf brotherhood, we can use the VIP passage and enjoy inspection-free entry."
