Chapter 2417 ( ) Reef Toothfish(2/3)
Seeing that the Paladin was about to leave, the upright barbarian Holgai once again stepped forward and honestly explained the illegal things they were going to do without thinking.
"!!"
"Holgai!"
"Shut up first!!"
Simon wailed and exclaimed, and stared at Holgai with unbelievable eyes, almost asking whether Holgai was here specifically to cause trouble.
"..."
In this regard, the paladin Henk was also a little surprised by the barbarian's "frankness" and couldn't help but turn his head and glance at her several times.
Two wanted criminals and their accomplices came to him and wanted to ask for the 'Fabrication Helmet', and then bluntly said that they wanted to use the helmet to rob a certain vault. That really didn't make him look like Henk.
Let this paladin be seen by outsiders!
"No!"
"It's not what she said!"
"us……"
Seeing this and seeing the other party's faint signs of impatience, Simon became anxious.
"All right!"
"That's right!"
"We are indeed preparing to rob a treasury, but the target is the city of Neverwinter!"
"Our purpose is to defeat that cunning Fudge!"
"correct!"
"You must not know, right? The woman next to him, that mage, is actually a red-robed witch!"
Finally, while being frank, Simon revealed some important information at once, and finally made the paladin in front of him who was about to speed up his pace stop.
"..."
Then, the paladin Henk slowly turned around, frowned at Edkin with a serious look and asked:
"Is that so?"
Sure enough, he really knew Edkin and waited until now to have a face-to-face conversation with Edkin.
"That's right!"
Edkin sighed and stepped forward to explain:
"They just said everything they should say and what they shouldn't say!"
"actually……"
"We asked you for that helmet because we discovered an evil conspiracy between Fudge and the red-robed witch, so..."
In fact, Edkin didn't even know if Fudge and the red-robed witch had any evil plot. Their purpose was to take away Fudge's treasure, bring down Fudge and take back his daughter Kira, that's all!
but……
Just like what was said above, everyone in the world of Faerûn knows that red-robed wizards are evil. The appearance of the other party must be unscrupulous, and must have some evil ambitions?
Therefore, in order to achieve his goal of successfully borrowing things, Edkin, a "bard" who talks about running things, naturally did not hesitate to exaggerate it and make their goal a little higher.
"!!"
"etc!"
However, before Edkin could continue to speak excitedly and embellished, the paladin Henk's expression suddenly changed. He then stretched out his hand to stop Edkin and asked him to talk later, then walked straight to the other side.
"Hello!"
"That kid?"
It turned out that he suddenly interrupted Edkin because he saw a man wearing a beautiful blue and white dress and a white apron by the embankment of the pier. He looked thin and tender, and had a bit of face.
Sir, it seems that a little girl from a wealthy family is leaning out and looking towards the sea at the pier?
"Please stay away from the water!"
"It's very dangerous there, listen to me!"
"Now is the breeding season for reef toothfish. They have a strong desire to attack. Experienced sailors and fishermen don't dare to stay on the shore for too long. Do you still dare to see the fish?"
"Do you know that someone almost died just now?"
Since there were important things around him, Paladin Henk did not go over and forcibly stop the other party. Instead, he shouted loudly towards him and patiently advised him.
After all, the reason why he was able to rescue the silly 'Little Brain Tiger' from the fish's mouth just now was purely an accident. If it happened again, considering the sharp teeth of the reef-toothed fish, he couldn't guarantee that the little girl could do it again.
As lucky as the previous 'Little Brain Tiger' cub.

And when the little girl wearing a blue and white skirt turned around, Edkin, Simon and others saw that she was not the little Annie who ran to play like a child just after she arrived. Who was it?
"snort!"
()
Then, the four of them saw it. She just blinked and glanced at Henk and the others who were with him from a distance, and then quickly turned away with a cold snort, not wanting to pay attention to the saint at all.
Knight Henk still stood on the shore holding a wooden stick and looked hard into the water at the pier, not knowing what he was looking at.
"??"
Seeing this, Paladin Henk couldn't help but feel a little surprised and surprised when the little girl ignored him.
"don’t worry!"
"She'll be fine!"
"I promise?"
Seeing that Anne Bennie was poking her head there, Edkin smiled and comforted Henk, wanting him to continue the conversation they had just had.
Because he saw it just now, and the other party seemed to be persuaded by him. As long as he works harder, maybe this upright and rigid guy in front of him will actually give him the helmet?
"..."
Unfortunately, the Paladin did not believe Edkin's guarantee. Instead, he strode toward Anne with a sullen face and the sword at his waist, as if he had discovered something.
Next second!
Wow!
Sure enough, a big fish with a ferocious and ferocious appearance, probably the 'reef toothfish' that Paladin Henk just mentioned, jumped up from the lake, and while splashing countless water,
He opened his terrifying huge mouth full of sharp teeth and bit into Anne.
"!!"
Seeing this, the paladin Henk was of course frightened, and he drew his sword and charged forward.
"?!"
However, what shocked him was that at this critical moment, Edkin grabbed him, causing him to stagger and almost fall, and at the same time, he lost the excellent opportunity for rescue?
"Aha!!"
(ψ`▽′)o—
And the next second, in Edkin's playful smile and Paladin Henk's stunned expression, the five of them saw together: Little Annie at the coast embankment first calmly turned sideways, narrowly getting out of the way of the submersible reef
The sharp-toothed fish pounced and bit, and then took advantage of the moment when the opponent landed on the ground and was about to jump, and struck the strange fish hard on the head with a stick.
puff!!
Then, of course, that ferocious strange fish, that reef-toothed fish, rolled its eyes, and then its tail twitched a few times, then became motionless again.
"..."
And this time, Paladin Henk was stunned.
Then, he finally understood why Edkin had just said not to worry, and why the little girl was waiting on the shore with a wooden stick in her hand. It turned out that she was fishing with her body.
In the past, Henk had always heard a saying, saying, "The best hunters often appear as prey?" That is, he has never believed it, but today, after seeing that stick knocking
After he fainted a little girl who was diving on the reef, he suddenly became more convinced.
"It's awesome, isn't it?"
"Her name is Annie, and she is one of our companions."
"So, you really don't have to worry about her safety at all!"
Seeing the dull expression on Paladin Henk, Edkin stepped forward and showed off proudly.
"..."
However, while the paladin Henk slowly released the hilt of the sword from his waist, he frowned and looked at Edkin in disappointment and asked:
To be continued...
