Chapter 2418 (?) Reef Toothfish
The Shield of Mobilion is a fortress town near a harbor and lake. Not only is it surrounded by natural steep mountains on three sides as a barrier, but it also has rivers and harbors that flow into the sea as an inner harbor, plus a fortress built by elite Harpers. , city walls and archery towers gave this fortress, which was already easy to defend and difficult to attack, the reputation of the 'Shield of Mobilion'.
And today, after more than ten days of traveling and playing around, little Anne, Holgay, Simon, Doric and the still somewhat reluctant Edkin finally arrived here smoothly. , arrived at their destination.
After arriving at the destination, Annie of course cheered and ran to the noisy and lively port market ahead to play by herself, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Edkin, Simon and others naturally had no intention of blocking or worrying. They just started wandering around this unexpectedly prosperous place, trying to find their target - the Sergeant named Henk Yanda. Human Paladin.
And why the Serns, who have always been known as "evil", could become Paladins is unknown.
Anyway!
People only know that Ser is a mysterious and powerful country ruled by magic oligarchs located in the east of Faerûn. It has been ruled by the chiefs of red-robed wizards for a long time. Therefore, when people see the Ser people, they will unconsciously Associate it with the evil red-robed wizards.
And similarly, when people see the evil red-robed wizard, they will think of the Serbs!
Especially in the late fifteenth century, after that country began to be ruled by the leader of the Necron faction, the Lich Sazastan and the Chief Council, their endless pursuit of arcane knowledge and power made that country even more And the nation's reputation became as feared and loathed as its infamous dark history.
'Slavery will always be a way of life for Sale as long as I exist. And I can assure you, I will be here for a long time.'
This is the dark declaration of Sazastan, the evil mage who is said to have completed his transformation into a lich, has unified the chief council of the entire country, and made others obey his orders, and has begun to implement a dark and evil rule in Ser. .
And today, the Ser paladin Henk Yenda whom Edkin and others are looking for is said to have escaped on the day Sazhastan launched an evil coup and never returned.
As for what he went through at that time, it is rarely mentioned to outsiders, but it cannot be denied that he seems to be completely different from ordinary Serres. Not only is he upright and helpful, but he also hates Serres very much. Hate Sazarstan and the Red Wizard?
Anyway, the people of the 'Harper Alliance' trust him very much and have worked with him at Mobilion Shield for a long time.
Regarding this, Edkin, who was originally a member of the Harpers, also admitted it. Therefore, what they had to do this time was naturally to find that weird guy as soon as possible.
Not long after!
As commotions broke out at the port, the four of them quickly found their target before they could figure out what was going on, and saw with their own eyes the paladin Henk Yenda among a group of helpless residents of all races.
With the fishermen watching, he successfully rescued a dying cub of a small-brained tiger (catman?) from the mouth of a strange fish and received cheers from everyone.
Seeing that the target appeared so quickly, although Edkin was a little reluctant, he still had to bite the bullet and, under the urging of Holgay, Simon and Doric, worked together slowly.
Followed and prepared to talk.
"Hey!"
"Edkin!"
Soon, when Holgai, Simon and others saw the target slowly walking towards them, Holgai quickly pulled the sleeve of the evasive Edgin and signaled urgently.
"Hurry up!"
"Opportunity! Go over and have a chat with him?"
"Don't you know each other?"
Obviously, in the opinion of Holgai and others, no one among the four is more suitable to talk to such a person than Edkin, an 'acquaintance'.
"No!"
"You better go!"
It's a pity that at this juncture, Edkin didn't know why, but he still looked a little coy, and even turned away, as if he didn't want to meet the 'target'.
"!!"
"Hey……"
"etc!"
Seeing Edkin lose his chain at the critical moment, the upright barbarian female warrior Holga had no choice but to grit her teeth and take the initiative to step forward. Taking advantage of the opportunity when the opponent came over, she directly showed a stiff smile that looked a bit artificial and ferocious.
Then he asked cheerfully:
"Hello!"
"Are you that Holy Knight Hunk?"
From the first sentence, it was obvious that it was not a good idea for Holgai, a tall and rough barbarian, to talk to a stranger!
Perhaps it would be better to let Doric take action?
Of course, the premise is that the other party doesn't mind Doric's identity as a 'tiefling'?
"..."
"Feel sorry!"
"When I'm not sure about the identity of a stranger, I generally don't take the initiative to answer any questions."
Unfortunately, that Henk first glanced at Holge, and then glanced at a man behind the three of them who was hesitantly following and turning sideways with the corner of his eye, half-smiling.
He responded so calmly.
"oh!"
"I……"
"I am Holgai Kilgore, a savage!"
"The one at the back is Druid Doric, he is Simon the Warlock, and Edkin!"
"Where is he!"
Holgai didn't realize at all that the other party disliked her for being rude, so he introduced himself directly.
"Well?"
“Interesting combination!”
"All right!"
"Tell me, what are you doing at Mobilian Shield?"
After looking at the people around him, especially the timid and unnatural "acquaintance" Edkin, after a while, the paladin Henk turned around and continued walking forward calmly.
He asked the few 'strangers' who were still following him.
"Of course I'm here to find you!"
"We are looking for the magic-breaking helmet!"
Holgay was truly a treacherous barbarian. He actually told the purpose of several people's visit before he even said a few words.
"!!"
"Helm of Law Breaking?"
Hearing this, Paladin Henk stopped immediately and looked at the four people following him again, especially the natural-looking Hall. After a while, he continued to move forward and suddenly
He sneered in such a bad tone:
"Ah!"
"Do you know what you are talking about?"
"I saw……"
"You think it would be a good idea for you two wanted criminals, a warlock and a tiefling to come to me and ask about something that so many people died for?"
After saying that, he shook his head, and the paladin Henk, who had a mark on his forehead, stopped talking to the four of them and strode forward.
As for why he clearly saw through the identity of Holgai and Edkin as "wanted criminals" among the four but did not make any further reaction, that is very intriguing.
"But!"
"Mr. Paladin, believe me, we have enough reasons to find it, and I promise that the purpose is completely noble and just!"
"real!"
"I swear!"
Seeing that Holgay suddenly became embarrassed and didn't know what to say, Simon, who didn't want the other party to make things worse, had to hurry up and explain and reassure loudly, somewhat awkwardly.
"stranger……"
"Your assurance means nothing to me!"
Unfortunately, Paladin Henk didn't react much to Simon's words at all. He just continued to walk forward and said lightly:
"do you know?"
"I can take you down directly!"
"You can also ask the guards to arrest you. All you need is for me to shout now?"
After saying that, he chuckled with some emotion. Apparently he never thought that there were wanted criminals and their accomplices who would come to him and throw themselves into a trap, and they naively wanted to take advantage of some important items that he kept.
.
"He's right!"
"What we're doing is really important, we're going to rob a vault!"
"Because it has Mordenkainen's seal on it!"
"Only your helmet can disarm it!"
