Chapter 207 It’s a color dragon!
After resting at night, they finally arrived at the road to Fort Luwas at noon the next day, but...
There were too many people! On the wide road, there were so many groups of people walking that it was almost impossible to see the end.
"Why do I feel like this is another scam like the Falling Star Lily of the Valley?"
Lulu looked at Lilith with hesitation. She had been fooled once because she didn't listen to Lilith. This time she was much more cautious and took the initiative to seek Lilith's opinion.
However, Lilith was not as calm as when she first tried to persuade them. Instead, she was very eager. "Well, we have to go and see for ourselves to know. There's an old saying - we're already here!"
Lulu:?
However, Lulu didn't bother to wonder why Lilith was so hypocritical. Two days later, perhaps because they acted decisively, they actually managed to book enough rooms in a tavern in Fort Luwas.
Looking at the other adventurers who arrived late and couldn't book a room, and were arguing with the proprietress at the bar, Lulu just remembered to be thankful for their luck.
"Hey, you little guys, are you from Gloria?" As they were eating dinner at a table near the wall of the tavern, a bearded man at the next table leaned over the fence and inquired about them with a smile.
"Yeah." Joan pulled out the dagger carelessly, twirling it in his hand. Looking dangerous and agile, he almost scratched the bearded man's face several times.
"Oh, be careful, lady!" The man quickly retracted his face, raised both his hands, and consciously kept a distance from them, but still leaned forward and tried to talk to them.
"Hey, ever since your school started recruiting guardians, we mercenaries have been living like scavengers..." He grumbled a few words with regret, and then cheered up, "I have no ill intentions, ladies and gentlemen, I just want to exchange information with you. How much do you know about dragons?"
"That depends on what valuable information you can provide." Senior sister Jaslin wiped her mouth and glanced at the people at the bearded man's table. Well, they didn't have as many people as them and posed no threat.
"Hehe, we originally made a living in Pennsylvania County, so we are naturally familiar with Fort Luvas. We know more about it than you do."
The bearded man did not hide his feelings. Being able to make friends with these guys who could do magic did no harm to ordinary adventurers like them, especially these simple guys who had not yet left the academy. As long as he was nice to them, they would definitely remember it.
"The Lord of Roisbourg, Baron Norris Rois, has a beautiful daughter who is called the Flower of Rois. It is said that her skin is as smooth and delicate as mutton-fat jade, and her eyes are big and black, like the deep water of a lake. Her--"
The bearded man shut his mouth silently because the people at the opposite table looked at him as if they were losing their patience and one of the girls even yawned.
"In short, the lord has found a good marriage for his beloved daughter. She will marry Earl Spencer of High Court and become a countess."
Ian, who was concentrating on eating, suddenly stopped chewing.
"Earl Spencer?" Lilith recalled bitterly. She seemed to have some impression of this person. She seemed to have heard this name at the dinner party hosted by Duke William.
"You? Are you a noble?" The bearded man heard Lilith's words and turned to look at her, his eyes becoming more eager. "Oh, I was showing off."
Lilith just smiled and didn't respond, motioning for the bearded man to continue.
This guy's attitude was much more serious now, and he stopped exaggerating. "The convoy escorting Miss Ruvois was filled with rare treasures. It is said that because it was loaded with too much gold, even several axles were broken. Tsk tsk tsk—"
"But because of this, an evil dragon was attracted. You all know that, right? Dragons are most obsessed with gold, silver and jewelry. Before the convoy could leave Binlu County, the dragon hijacked the convoy and the people."
"Ah, how could this happen! Why doesn't it even let people go!" Lulu was shocked. This dragon would actually kidnap the bride! A lecherous dragon!
"Yes! Poor Baron Rois, his hair turned white overnight and he looked more than ten years older."
"You know so much." Lilith held her chin and curled her lips.
The bearded man coughed awkwardly. "That's what everyone says! Anyway, the surviving knights of the caravan said they were attacked by a vicious dragon. It was very cruel. Not only did it steal the jewels and beauties, it even tore the horses into its stomach on the spot, and then disappeared."
"The Church of Light doesn't care?" Lilith played with her knife and fork. This matter actually involved nobles, and a dragon had appeared. Logically, the local church should have asked for help from the High Court and sent the Knights to support.
"Who knows? Maybe the church is busy with other things. Besides, isn't this our chance?" The bearded man looked longingly, his eyes blurred. "As long as we can get a little benefit from the dragon, scales, hair, nails, or even some saliva? Our fate will change!"
Hey! Lilith shuddered. Why did it sound so obscene? Are they some kind of giant dragon perverts? !
"Yeah, yeah - ouch!" Qiong couldn't help but make the same perverted face, and was poked hard in the side by Jaslin.
"So, would you like to join us, honorable magicians? We have a lot of adventuring experience—"
"I'm sorry, sir." A senior said regretfully, "Look, there are so many of us, it's already crowded enough."
"Then, do you need any medicine? We have an experienced pharmacist here—"
"Are you talking about the kind of healing potion that can be mass-produced?" Lilith waved her hand, and two whole rows of them appeared on the table, leaving the bearded man dumbfounded.
"We are from Goletia, sir." Lilith emphasized again.
The bearded man watched a bunch of shiny potions appear and disappear out of thin air, and finally realized that these guys might not be what they, the small fry, could even afford space props! He laughed awkwardly, "Of course, of course..."
"But thank you very much for your generosity. You saved us a lot of effort." Lilith did not collect all the potions, but kept two bottles and handed them over with a smile.
The bearded man no longer cared about the embarrassment. He happily took the medicine with both hands and thanked him repeatedly. "You are so polite, miss. I wish you all the best."
"I wish you the same." Lilith smiled and said no more.
After Lilith and her group left the lobby on the first floor, the bearded man was still being scolded by his companions - "How stupid, Stone! Those guys have so many people, they won't accept us. Don't be so passive, we should absorb others, such as those lone wolves."
The bearded man named Stone nodded randomly, and his small eyes under his messy eyebrows patrolled around the tavern, and soon locked onto his target.
"Hey, brother!" He walked towards the bar, where a hooded figure was drinking alone. When he climbed onto the man's shoulders, he realized that the guy was very young, with thin shoulders and no muscles at all.
Hiss—new recruit!
But since they had already placed their hands together, he was too embarrassed to just walk away, so he asked with a smile, "Are you here to save that poor noble lady as well? Maybe we can team up."
Under the hood was an exceptionally handsome face. He smiled heartily, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. The bearded man noticed that one of his canine teeth was broken in half.
"Sorry, I'm different. I'm here to collect a debt."
