MTL - The Dragon Princess Who Traveled Through Another World-Chapter 5 'Rewards' and swag
Chapter 5 'Rewards' and loot
Charlie held the two Ion Stones, which were slowly emitting a soft magical halo under the dim orange oil lamp, and studied for a long time.
She even tried the legendary recognition of the Lord with a drop of blood, but it didn't work.
Annoyed, she rolled on the creaking bed in the hotel, she really couldn't bear the result that she got the Ion Stone but couldn't use it.
This will kill her.
The irritated Charlie rolled out of the bed irritably, and began to walk around the room anxiously again.
The best way to do this kind of thing is to ask an Arcanist.
But obviously, an Arcanist is not a Chinese cabbage, you can't expect to go out for a walk and bump into a baba like you to impart experience to you as an 'grandpa'.
However, it can be seen from Charlie's observation of the large and small towns that he passed through during the ten-day journey that the mercenaries will investigate first.
If there is a mercenary union in the local area, they will go directly to the union for supplies and in exchange for a detailed map of the next journey to avoid most risks.
Of course, if there is no union, they will mysteriously put on cloaks to hide their appearance in the middle of the night, and leave the hotel where they are staying.
It's not that Charlie wants to spy on them.
But now, there is no one around her to discuss, so she doesn't pay attention.
Don’t let people sell it, and help people pay for it.
The town they stayed in was called Kapa City, a small-scale town with an underdeveloped economy in the Holy Platinum Empire.
So there are no profit-seeking mercenary unions stationed here.
Then, Scarface and the others should go out to find out news tonight.
Maybe I can follow along to see.
just in case…
No, I have a strong sixth sense, and I will gain something if I follow along!
Thinking of this, Charlie immediately walked out of the room, went to the door of the inferior guest room rented by the mercenaries downstairs, and raised his hand to knock on the door.
She came just in time, and the scarred face that opened the door had already been replaced with a rough, light gray, dirty cloak.
He probably never washed the dirty cloak, and there were so many stains on it that Charlie didn't want to take a second look.
"My lord? What do you want?"
Because he used the 'suture technique' to save the mercenary ranger Searle, Scarface treated Charlie very kindly.
"Are you going out tonight too... Well, I mean you will collect intelligence, use your 'doorway'?"
The mercenary didn't show any dissatisfaction or caring too much about the weak earl's careful observation of their whereabouts, and only nodded along with the earl's words.
"Can you take me with you, tonight." Charlie was a little nervous, because she was so anxious to achieve her goal that she was afraid of being rejected.
"Ah, it is possible to go there, but there..." Scarface with a fierce face was pondering his words in embarrassment.
They're going to the adventurer's tavern here, full of rude mercenaries, gamblers, drunks, and sleazy whores...
In short, it's a place that won't be a place for picky aristocrats.
"I'll never get in trouble, I swear!" Charlie raised a hand eagerly.
She doesn't look like she's just out of curiosity and wants to follow her to gain insight.
Scarface thought about it, and asked: "May I take the liberty to ask what you are going to do at the Adventurer's Bar?"
"Ah, I want to know something..." Charlie hesitated.
Of course she can't let Scarface find out that she got the Ion Stone.
Basically, none of the Earl's actions left the support of the mercenaries alone.
Suddenly got the Ion Stone, an item that was said to be 'controlled' by the Grand Arcanists. Guess how the mercenaries will react?
Seeing that the Earl didn't want to tell, Scarface couldn't continue to ask, "Do you have to go?"
Their mission is to safely **** the earl to the fief, and they are naturally unwilling to increase the risk in the process.
Charlie's eyes were bright and determined, "Yes!"
"I see."
Scarface walked out of his room, "Please wait a moment."
Then he walked to the end of the corridor and knocked on the room on the left at the end.
After a brief conversation, a gray-black cloak was handed out from inside not long after.
Scarface came over with a borrowed cloak and handed it to Charlie.
The earl took over the gray-black cloak.
This cloak is different from the one worn by Scarface. It has been washed very clean and has a faint fragrance on it.
Scarface scratched his cheek in embarrassment.
"Ah, I didn't borrow Karna's cloak because you are small. It's because women's clothes are always cleaner...ours are too dirty..."
Charlie: "…"
Thank you so much! If you don't explain it, I don't even know that you are also laughing at the height of my count!
Putting on the cloak, Scarface quickly knocked on the doors of several members of the mercenary squad.
Except for the female magician Kana and the ranger Searle who still needs more rest and recuperation, the other four team members went together.
The Adventurer's Bar is in the outer part of the town.
It seems to be because drunk mercenaries often fight, which is a very troublesome behavior for the soldiers of the city defense brigade.
The lord of the small town finally moved the Adventurer's Bar to the outer city.
Drunk mercenaries like this would just roll outside the city if they got into a fight again. No matter how they fight, they will only harm the groves outside the city and not damage the buildings inside the city.
Except for the inner city, the dark and uneven roads made the 'weak' young Earl almost fall several times.
The mercenaries couldn't help worrying whether it was really "no problem" to take such an earl to the tavern.
It wasn't until at the end of the path that he saw the only brightly lit tavern with wild laughter, that Scarface stopped, and turned back to the earl solemnly:
"My lord, no matter what happens here, you must absolutely, absolutely not call the dragon, you know?"
Already had the nickname "The Earl of the Dragon Coming" among the mercenaries.
Charlie nodded in embarrassment, and complained in his heart: It wasn't to help you that time, cut it, I don't know good people!
A wooden sign protruded obliquely from the door of the Adventurer's Tavern, on which was a fairly vivid picture of a wooden wine barrel.
Before entering the tavern, I heard the wanton and unrestrained laughter of the mercenaries inside; the sound of shouting toasts; and the cheerful singing and dancing of the dancing girls.
And, the night wind blows and brings the scent of wine under the nose.
Standing at the door, you can smell the aroma of honey beer.
Before Charlie could move, the mercenary in a black cloak beside him had already swallowed his saliva.
The mercenaries couldn't wait to rush into the Adventurer's Bar, and they didn't take off the black cloaks that got in the way.
Except when they first walked in, they caused a few guys in the tavern to look up and look sideways.
Those who are up for a drink and a conversation are not paying attention to them.
Scarface familiarly walked to the bar counter and ordered beer for six people.
Charlie sat next to the scarred man, looking around curiously.
Soon the honey beer was placed on the smooth wooden table by the bartender behind the bar and pushed.
Following that, six cups of honey beer made of wood were slid in front of the six people one by one without any mistakes.
Once you buy wine, you can talk.
Scarface whispered a few words to the bartender, with a clear look on the bar, turned around and went into the back room to get something.
Charlie looked at these things dazedly, full of curiosity, and almost forgot the business of coming here.
While she was groping around in the house, listening to the loudly chatting adventurers, the 'welcome bell' at the entrance of the adventurer's bar rang again.
Subconsciously, Charlie followed the prestige.
Looking at this made her widen her emerald green eyes that were covered by loose hair.
Those were two males who didn't hide their faces with cloaks or cloaks. They wore eye-catching one white and one red mage robes, and their hair was half-length and not short. They looked arrogant and indifferent.
But most importantly!
Their heads are suspended like stars, and stones that are automatically, slowly and irregularly suspended and moving!
You can't go wrong!
That's the Ion Stone!
'Boom boom boom', Charlie could feel his own violent heartbeat again.
The two arcanists ignored the countless surprised and fearful eyes in the adventurer's hotel.
They found an empty seat and sat down.
There were still some spilled wine and food left on the table.
Among them, the sorcerer in the red robe coughed lightly, and saw the Ain Stone shining.
Following that, the round wooden table they were sitting on took on a new look, as clean as if it had just been made from a wood factory.
After cleaning, the red-robed Arcanist snapped his fingers, and said to the bartender behind the bar who was hesitating whether to go over: "Two bottles of red wine from Bonneva, the older ones should be at least 100 years old."
The white-robed Arcanist sneered, "Hey, where do you think this is? Floating city? The red wine of Bonneva is still 100 years old. Why don't you drink the dragon wine brewed by the giant dragon?"
The white-robed sorcerer reordered drinks to the dumbfounded bartender, "Just bring your signature drinks."
They didn't hide their conversation at all, and they didn't shy away from listening to the "adventurers" who covered their figures with cloaks or cloaks.
"Ah, it was really scary just now, the rage of the great arcanist Edson..." the white-robed arcanist sighed with lingering fear all over his face.
"After all, he is the great arcanist who created his own floating city. Naturally...it is naturally great." The red-robed arcanist replied with a slightly unnatural face.
"It's just that I don't know which damned guy dares to steal in front of such a great arcanist!
Damn it, those of us who attended the banquet were all implicated, and were directly thrown out of the Floating Void City by Aofa..."
"Hey, the worst luck is the guy who offered those two legendary ioun stones.
He originally wanted to join the Floating City of Galewind by offering a gift, but in the end..."
"When I was blown out of the floating city... I seemed to see... that guy was turned into a stone statue by the arcane magic thrown by the great arcanist..."
The white-robed Arcanist said with lingering fear.
The bartender served drinks for the two arcanists at this time.
The two male arcanists held up the muza at the same time and were touched lightly by the handle. There was a tacit understanding and they did not continue talking. It seems that they were all frightened by the petrified appearance of the last arcanist in memory.
The bar gradually regained some excitement.
The hidden adventurers began to resume their conversation, but they all deliberately lowered their voices.
Charlie already disliked the stormy waves in his heart, not for anything else.
Two legendary Ion Stones were stolen in public...
And in the two velvet gift boxes in her hotel room, there are two unknown...
Why! I go! Shit rewards!
This is really stolen goods! !
