Chapter 92 Messenger and Mount
"Ms. Futaba." Xiluo didn't show much surprise. He just looked at the calm-looking girl in front of him calmly and said in a deep voice: "This trip is very dangerous..."
The great chief of the Fire Claw Territory did not fail to consider the importance of witnesses. He also knew that if he brought Futaba and Motan, two members of Fenrir's team, on this trip, his chances of winning would be greater. There are great risks.
Perhaps the Marshall family would not blatantly do anything to the negotiation team sent by the Fire Claw Territory in the Violet Imperial Capital, but two civilians without noble titles, especially those with witness status, would not make them fear too much. The strength of the two Ye people is too weak, and the Violet Imperial Capital, which is about to become the center of the storm, is too dangerous. Any small mistake may cost them their lives.
Those people did not dare to blatantly kill the Fire Claw nobles. After all, doing so would basically prove their guilt. However, the two civilian witnesses would not give the Marshall family any reason to be soft-hearted. As long as they had the chance, they would never allow it. Shuangye and Mo Tan walked out of the imperial capital standing upright.
"It seems that your mind is quite clear." Futaba was quite satisfied with Xiluo's reaction and said with a smile: "Of course I know that place is very dangerous for a little person like me."
Chief Xiluo shook his head: "I don't intend to let you risk your lives. You two are friends of Mr. Ned, and you have never owed us anything, so I do not recommend that you go to the Imperial Palace with the envoy." All."
"You are not a qualified ruler." Futaba shrugged and rolled his eyes: "Bad review."
Xiluo sighed deeply: "Maybe, in fact, even if you two go, our chances of winning are not too great. After all, in the eyes of many people, the Fire Claw Territory is actually just a gathering place for barbarians. "
"I reserve my opinion on this..." Futaba pushed up his glasses slightly and said seriously: "Of course I have my own reasons for going, so please make preparations based on this. Of course, I don't mind more A few bodyguards and stuff.”
Mo Tan was no longer silent at this moment, walked up to Futaba and asked, "You didn't count me in?"
The girl shook her head at him: "It's enough to go alone. During this period, I suggest you to be busy with your own affairs. If there is any problem on my side, at least there is a witness in the Fire Claw Territory."
"It seems that you have settled the account clearly." Mo Tan smiled bitterly and spread his hands towards her: "Okay, I have no objection."
Futaba's decision is undoubtedly wise. She is enough for the role of witness. After all, this girl is much better than Black Van in terms of eloquence and adaptability. And as she said, if it happens, If something unexpected happens, there is still one witness left here.
Of course, Mo Tan also had his own plans in mind. After all, it was only the 'Black Brahma' who was not suitable to wade into this muddy water...
If his judgment is correct, the reason for the Marshall Territory is not just the slave trade, but as for how to operate it specifically, it is not what he needs to consider now.
"If you insist." Rhino nodded slightly to Futaba, then looked at the leader of the Fire Claw Shadow Force: "Cassie."
The other party bowed slightly to him in silence.
"Go back and pick a few confidants to protect Ms. Futaba after we set off." Xiluo said solemnly: "Be sure to protect her."
Cassie nodded.
"Then it's up to you~" Futaba smiled at Cassie: "Brother Elf Cool."
"Beast Elf." Cassie said in a low voice, "I will do my best."
The two players who had always felt that this elf was a bit inconsistent suddenly realized that such a burly elf was indeed not a pureblood.
Just like half-elves are a mixture of elves and humans, half of the bloodline of beast elves naturally comes from orcs. Their advantages are more obvious. They have the physical fitness of orcs and the appearance of elves, but the number is relatively small. The reasons will not be elaborated here.
"Okay, then now is the second question." Futaba turned to Rhino and asked: "Suppose the negotiations in the Imperial Capital failed, the Noble Tribunal did not make a fair ruling, and the Fire Claw leader followed In the inevitable war, you are at an absolute disadvantage. What is your retreat? It can't be to break up and divide your luggage, right?"
Thinking about defeat before thinking about victory, Xiluo should not understand this principle, and Futaba can also understand to some extent from what everyone said just now that the Fire Claw Leader is not superior in combat effectiveness.
"We will ask for assistance from the Holy Mountain Sumir." Xiluo replied: "It is located in the far north of the continent and is the holy land of our clan. Once the situation falls into an extreme disadvantage, the Fire Claw warriors will die on the battlefield. Before that, We will ensure the safe and orderly evacuation of civilians as much as possible."
Futaba nodded noncommittally: "How do I notify them there? The far north of the mainland should be quite far away from here. Is it necessary to use the Mages Guild's method?"
"There is no Mage Guild in Sumir." Before Xiluo could answer this time, Lewin, who was not far away, immediately shook his head and said: "The communication problem is indeed an obstacle. Even if special messengers are arranged, they cannot communicate with each other synchronously. And we’re short-staffed right now.”
The previous dwarf named Copper Handle glared at the dwarf mage leaning in the corner: "So, why are you not a space magician?"
"Why do I have to be a space magician?" The latter rolled his eyes.
"Because communication with the Holy Mountain is a problem now, idiot." Tongshan said.
Nico, the leader of the Blood Flame Mage Group, was so angry that he blushed: "Why don't you die! Use space magic to maintain communication with the far north of the continent. Do you think I am a sage?!"
"Ahem." Shuangye coughed suddenly, and then glanced at Mo Tan.
He immediately understood this and smiled at Xiluo: "Let me go, Lord Chief. Although my strength is relatively weak, I have some means to contact Futaba."
Xiluo was not pretentious and said immediately: "Okay, I will prepare enough supplies and a mount for you, and send a few warriors to accompany you."
He did not ask how Mo Tan could contact Futaba. After all, there are too many things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense, not to mention that there are not many ways that he can think of now, so Xiluo chose to believe this person. Ned's friend.
"There's no need to accompany me." Mo Tan shook his head: "It's more convenient for me to be alone."
Xiluo didn't force it, he just nodded and said: "No problem, but relying on the Holy Mountain is our last resort. You don't need to be too hasty. Protect yourself along the way."
[You have accepted the side mission: Messenger, mission reward: optional 600 experience points]
The system prompt sounded in Mo Tan's ears immediately, and the task content was to inform the Holy Mountain Sumir of the situation of the Fire Claw Territory within one month of game time.
"Then let's discuss the details next." Xiluo sat back in the center of the meeting hall and said solemnly: "We can't act hastily, we need to be fully prepared."
Then……
Accompanied by a slight headache, Mo Tan suddenly lost consciousness and fell to the ground in front of everyone!
…
five hours later
[You have been disconnected urgently, please choose whether to reconnect]
"yes."
[Reconnection begins...]
[Connection completed, reading character information]
[Welcome back, lawful and kind Mo, will soon enter the realm of innocence, wish you a good night]
…
The first outer mountain of Tianzhu Mountain, the Grand Arena
Mo Tan appeared in a luxurious lounge on the first floor of the arena, sitting on the bed in a daze.
What he wants to do most now is to immediately make a friend with the girl named Yu Chen, and then confirm with her whether there has been any change in the 'monster' that was captured before!
Obviously, he had just experienced another nearly five-hour fragment, during which his memory was completely blank. No matter how he recalled it, he could not recall anything...
"But I can't ask now. I definitely can't tell others about my situation." Mo Tan sighed helplessly: "Besides, I was offline in front of so many NPCs before. I don't know what the consequences will be. It would be okay if he 'fainted' directly in front of those people like last time, but if he turned into white light and disappeared out of thin air, it would be a big trouble, and how would he explain it to Futaba later..."
He was extremely melancholy, but he did not choose to quit the game immediately, switch personalities, and then use 'Black Van' to go online. After all, several hours had passed in the game. Even if there was trouble, going back now would not help, so he simply I decided not to change it yet, and planned to say hello to Futaba through the mailbox during the day tomorrow.
So what to do now?
Mo Tan was in the personal lounge of this arena when he offline as 'Mo'. At that time, after Cordoba was unfortunately killed by the Garfield cat, Lu Wei came back soon, and then took him After being sent back to the First Outer Mountain, Mo Tan wandered around for a while before returning to the lounge where he was currently staying and logged off.
"By the way, let's take a closer look at the one Mr. Lu Wei gave us before..." Mo Tan muttered, then took out something that looked like a ball of wool from his bag and threw it to the ground.
As soon as the ball hit the ground, it began to expand rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then it slowly grew its head and limbs!
Two seconds later...
"Hey!" A slow, chubby, furry, dull, fat sheep shouted at him, with a light blue halo flashing in its two small black eyes.
[Lu Wei’s Self-Exploding Sheep]
Category: Mount
Quality: Average/Excellent
Riding: Movement speed increased by 0-20% (depending on the weight of the rider)
Special effect: self-destruction
Use: Activate/deactivate/detonate your self-destructing sheep.
[Remarks: Reward of 1-5% of the reputation of Luwei Fitzir's class. This self-destructing sheep is one of Master Luwei's early works when he was young. Its original intention was to create a mount with a wide range of attacks, and Facts have proved that this rune creation, which looks like a sheep but has an unusual structure, is not qualified as a mount or a bomb, because its self-destruction switch is designed on the back of the neck, and the explosion range is only It is two meters long, and the detonation time is only 0.5 seconds. PS: This is an ordinary mount that is not as fast as a grass horse, but its explosive power is enough to meet the standards of an [Excellent]-level engineering bomb. It can turn into a small ball of wool when it is shut down. 】
"At least I am a knight with a mount now." Mo Tan glanced at the bright red lever on the back of the sheep's neck with a wry smile, caressed the sheep's head and said, "You shouldn't blow it up casually, right?"
"What..."
"Good answer." Mo Tan nodded, then turned off the phone and put it back into his bag. After thinking about it for a while, he decided to experience the large arena that Lessard said could "quickly improve his strength."
Anyway, there is nothing else to do now. If you want to know more in Tianzhu Mountain, you must improve your strength. As for 'that matter', you will have to wait until your priest number comes online before you can confirm with Yuchen.
So he immediately left the lounge, turned two corners (because he had read the map in advance, so he would not get lost) and went straight to the work area in the center of the first floor hall.
"Hello, how can I help you?" A cute dwarf girl stood on a pile of cushions and bowed slightly to Mo Tan.
[The ‘locals’ in Tianzhu Mountain really come from all races. 】
Mo Tan sighed in his heart, and then asked politely: "I want to participate in the arena competition. I have gone through the formalities here before."
"Well, your name?" The dwarf girl blinked.
"Tachibana Taki~" Mo Tan smiled: "You're just kidding, my name is Mo."
"Wait for me to check...ah, is it this?" The girl nodded, then fiddled with the magic crystal board on the table for a while, lowered her head and said: "Relying on the relationship with the high-level observer Lessard Mo Mo, who skipped the vegetable level competition due to unknown nepotism and gained the right to challenge any arena from level one to level five...ah, I'm sorry! That's not what I said!!"
Mo Tanqian smiled and nodded: "I should be right."
"Hmm, you are eligible to choose the challenge level at will." The dwarf girl scratched her head and said, "It's fine from level one to level five, but if this is your first time, I suggest you try the level one arena first. "
"Okay." Mo Tan didn't want to challenge any difficult level at first, so he immediately nodded and said, "How do you go about the process?"
The dwarf girl handed him a light blue bracelet and said with a smile: "Just take it to the second floor. There is a very conspicuous big pillar on the side of the court. Use this bracelet to get close to it and it will automatically help you match." Opponent!"
Then Mo Tan took the bracelet politely, said goodbye to this somewhat rash little girl, and went upstairs.
"What a secretive person!" The little girl looked at Mo Tan's back and nodded, muttering: "At first glance, he looks like a rookie..."
…
ten minutes later
Mo Tan trembled and appeared in front of the girl again.
"girl……"
"Um?"
"What level is the first-level arena?"
"The lowest level."
"Is there anything lower?"
The little girl glanced at the tall half-dragon in front of her and scratched her hair: "There is also a rookie... I mean the rookie training ground. There are newcomers who are here for the first time, but you can Skip the rookie competition.”
"No! Just give me that one! Just a novice!"
"Are you sure?"
Mo Tan nodded heavily. He just saw two brothers who were at least high-level berserkers having a passionate fight upstairs. He felt a little bad...
"I'm absolutely sure!"
