Lord Chronicle

Chapter 18
After closing the door, after Elebena sat down, Jessica spoke first: "It just so happens that we also have something to discuss with you, I hope you don't mind."

"What is it?" Elebena asked with interest.

At this time, Sol was in a state of disorientation because of Jessica's destruction of his good deeds. He had long been accustomed to this unreliable lord, and Jessica said to herself: "That's right, the reason why we are willing to take out the magic core to hold this tournament is because we hope Use it to recruit some capable adventurers to complete a commission."

Elebena nodded: "I heard that too, what are you going to do?"

Jessica put on a serious look: "A blue dragon has recently moved into the mountains of the Kingdom of Lowell, and we hope to gather a group of people to kill it."

With a look of surprise, Elebena showed that half-smile expression again: "Are you going to slay a dragon?"

Jessica thought she didn't believe it: "I know you're surprised, but please believe me, I'm not joking."

Sol also returned to his soul at this time, and he followed up: "Don't worry, the dragon was seriously injured, and it is not far from death. With your ability, you can kill it casually, let alone I still have to kill it." We are going to invite the top four teams to go together, there are many treasures in the dragon's lair, and all of them belong to you after killing the dragon."

Elebena's expression became even weirder, and she couldn't help but ask, "Why did you kill it?"

According to the prearranged rhetoric, Sol immediately put on a sad face.He choked up and said: "The evil dragon took a fancy to the beauty of my newlywed wife and forcibly took her away and locked her in the dragon cave. My poor wife must be being humiliated by the evil dragon right now, so I will spare no effort The price is to save her." After speaking, tears continued, and Jessica patted his sobbing shoulder comfortingly, with an affectionate look.

Naturally, it's a clichéd princess-and-dragon story, only with Sol's non-existent wife as the main character.The reason for making it up like this is naturally to stimulate those adventurers with an excessive sense of justice.

It's a pity that Elebena didn't look excited at all, she said to herself: "Why didn't I know that I had such a bad interest?"

"What?" Sol didn't respond for a while.

Looking at the two of them, Elebena smiled brightly: "Where is the other magic core?"

"What? How do you know?" Sol asked in surprise, with an ominous feeling in his heart.

Elebena stood up slowly: "Have you forgotten me so quickly? A cunning human being who is a thief and is going to be a robber."

"No, it's impossible, are you..." Jessica pointed behind Elebena with a look of horror.

There, her shadow on the wall was growing, gradually revealing a long neck, a huge body, and broad wings.

"I came here after the breath of the magic core, and I only participated in this stupid tournament because I didn't want to cause panic. I didn't expect that you thieves would kill me and plunder my treasure besides stealing my things. Humble and Stupid human beings, don't you know that you are looking for your own death?" Elebena said angrily, her voice getting louder and louder.

In the end, she roared with a terrifying voice that was in no way commensurate with her beauty: "I am Elebena who snatched your 'new wife' and was seriously injured waiting to be killed by the person you found!"

"Are you a mother?" Even Saul didn't know why he popped out this sentence.

Elebena's face was throbbing with veins: "Do you have any other last words?"

After a moment of astonishment, Sol suddenly threw himself at Elebena's feet, hugged her slender legs and said hoarsely: "Sister, let me be your dog... No, hero, just let me go!"

Jessica was furious: "What are you talking about, we fought her!"

Saul and Elebena looked at her in amazement at the same time, and they said in unison: "Don't be stupid."

He beckoned to Jessica: "Come, come and pray for Lord Elebena's forgiveness with me. There is nothing to be ashamed of. With the big heart of the giant dragon, he must forgive us, right?"

As he spoke, he raised his head expectantly and asked Elebena, and at the same time he did not forget to rub his face on her smooth thigh.Hmph, even if you want to die, you have to take advantage of it.

Jessica was trembling with anger: "Shut up! I will never beg for mercy from the guy who wants to destroy Lovell."

Elebena was stunned: "Why should I destroy Lovell?"

At this juncture, Jessica was not afraid of anything anymore. She said angrily, "Although you didn't do anything directly, the monsters in the mountains came down to harass the town because of you. We have already suffered a lot. If we don't think about it, Lovell will be destroyed by the monster sooner or later."

Elebena wondered: "What are you talking about, I have never threatened the monsters in the mountains."

Sol interjected: "Hero, this is your fault. We saw the three top-level monsters because they were afraid of coming to challenge you. The other low-level monsters didn't dare to trouble you. They only went down the mountain to harass Lovell, and said it wasn't because you?"

Elebena nodded: "I have always wondered why the corpse of the monster is still there, but the magic core has disappeared. It turns out that you have always been by the side."

She said to Jessica: "The three monsters fought because I occupied the nearby 'Di Lingquan' and asked me to leave. We dragons are a race that advocates balance, and we don't Kill all the creatures in it, and they have no reason to be afraid of me."

"It's really not you?" Jessica was not so confident anymore.

The anger on Elebena's face gradually disappeared: "I don't need to lie to humans. So, can you tell me the cause and effect now?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Jessica told the whole story.

Elebena couldn't help but laugh: "Just because of a guess, you are going to kill me? The elder is indeed right. Human beings are really stupid and dangerous creatures."

Jessica knelt down respectfully facing Elebena, and bowed deeply: "In short, this is all a misunderstanding, because our rudeness offended the great you, I am deeply sorry. I only have one request here, and the lord and I I will apologize with death, please spare the innocent citizens of Lowell."

Sol's soul flew into the sky: "Wait a minute, why even I have to apologize with death?"

boom!Jessica knocked Saul down with a fist and convulsed, she continued: "Please kindly agree to my last request no matter what."

"Do you really want to die that much?" Elebena said in a deep voice.

For no reason, Sol suddenly felt that Elebena didn't actually want to kill himself and Jessica.He always felt that this dragon was quite different from what he knew. What dragon would talk so long with someone who stole his treasure and wanted someone to kill it?
Let's hope she's really a maverick dragon.Sol, who felt that his life was hopeful, couldn't care less about other things, and rushed to Elebena again: "Hero, as long as you let us go, I can agree to any conditions."

He is a modern person, and he doesn't have Jessica's stubbornness at all. As long as he can survive, what's wrong with being wronged?Besides, the opponent is a dragon, which is not something that everyone has a chance to meet.

Jessica was about to scold, but Elebena said with a half-smile: "Really, any conditions are acceptable?"

Sol, who was taking advantage of the opportunity, quickly raised his head: "Of course, any conditions."

"Alright then." Elebena sighed, pulled a chair and sat down: "Where is the last magic core?"

Jessica looked at her in disbelief, obviously she didn't believe that the dragon would really let her go anyway.At this time, Sol said: "The Thunder Eagle's magic core is in Lovell, and we didn't bring it."

"Okay, take me back immediately to get it."

Sol hastily agreed.Elebena said again: "I was seriously injured, and this time I came out to rely on the earth spirit spring to forcefully recover half of my strength. I must eat three magic cores as soon as possible to slow down the injury, but some other things are needed to completely heal." things, you must find them for me."

"Okay." At this moment, Sol had already ignored everything, and he agreed without even asking anything. Anyway, no matter how bad the situation is, it is better than dying immediately.

"In addition, don't tell anyone about my identity, or I will kill you."

"Yes, I promise it won't leak." Saul patted his chest hard.

"Okay, that's all for now, I'll tell you later when I think about it." Elebena brushed her hair lazily, this action was extremely humane, it was hard to believe that she was really a dragon.

It seems that this dragon is really determined to eat himself, Thor secretly groaned.But to be able to survive, other things are naturally trivial.

He smiled flatteringly and said, "Master Elebena, do you have any other orders?"

Elebena shook her head: "It's okay. Remember, don't play any tricks in the future, let alone try to get my treasure, or I will completely erase your Lovell from the map, understand?"

After repeatedly patting their chests to reassure, Sol and Jessica left the cabin.

"Huh..." After closing the door, both of them heaved a sigh of relief at the same time, feeling quite reborn as human beings.

"My lord, how's the talk going?" Chip and Kress asked.

Sol smiled bitterly: "It's going well, get ready, we're going back to Lovell."

Kress asked in surprise: "Don't you need other heroes?"

Jessica said exhaustedly: "No need, no one needs it."

Chip and Kress looked at each other strangely, wondering what happened to the lord and Jessica?It's like you just met a dragon in the house.

The two of them didn't know that their random guess had hit the mark. They promised to go down and prepare. Sol suddenly said, "Didn't you hear anything outside just now?"

Kress shook his head: "Nothing."

No wonder no one came in to see what was going on after the yelling in the room just now. It seems that before entering the door, Elebena had already set up a barrier to isolate the sound.

"By the way." Sol remembered something, and held Chip again: "Are those gold coins still on the carriage?"

Chip nodded: "I'm sorry, my lord, I haven't had time to take them off yet, so I'll do it now."

"Wait." Sol's eyes flashed brightly: "I changed my mind. You secretly go to deal with the guards at the back door, put on the carriage, and we are ready to run away."

Hmph, don't blame me for being cruel, who knows what tricks that perverted female dragon will have in the future, I still have to count on these gold coins to save my life.

After giving Sol a strange look, Chip left without saying anything.

************************************************** ************************************
Sol came to the front, and when he saw him, the officials of the Adventurer's Guild immediately greeted him: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, are you here? I don't know how many braves you want to call, so I called all the top eight teams. , if not enough, you can still choose.”

"I don't want any of them now." Saul said in his heart.

Seeing him, the adventurers also stood up one after another.Although he didn't win the magic core, since he can produce such a precious thing, there must be a lot of other rewards for him, so the adventurers all showed eager expressions on their faces.

"Hahaha, I'm really happy to see everyone so energetic." Thor laughed dryly, thinking about how to get rid of them, when suddenly his eyes rolled and he thought of something.

He said nonsense: "Just now I talked to Ms. Elebena, and she expressed her willingness to give up a magic core as a reward for the team that contributed the most to completing my commission. Of course, I will not treat others badly." Man, I also have some family heirlooms, which are centuries-old magic items, which I will give to everyone as a reward."

Hehe, Elebena, if you are unkind, don't blame me for being unrighteous, at least half of the responsibility should be given to you.

Hearing what he said, the adventurers cheered. Magic items that have been around for hundreds of years are all treasures, not to mention there is a chance to get a magic core.

No one doubted Sol's words, they didn't even ask what kind of commission Sol was, and everyone was dazzled by the sudden joy.

Only Rulert's group seemed calm, and Cardo said: "Mr. Zhang Anbu doesn't have to be like this. We will complete your commission whether we get paid or not."

"Okay, everyone, wait for a while. I'll call Miss Elebena to come out. We'll set off when everyone is here." Sol hit the iron while the iron was hot and slipped away.

Sneaking to the back door of the venue, Chip had already dealt with the two guards. Kress was sitting in the seat of the guard, and several boxes full of yellow gold coins were firmly tied to the car.

"You really want to do this?" Jessica asked anxiously after he jumped into the car.

Sol lay down on the pile of gold coins, and said as a matter of course: "Of course, how can so much money be cheap for the Adventurer's Guild. There is not much time, so let's go, it will be bad if someone finds out." He patted Kress on the back .

"Drive!" Kress flicked the reins, and drove the carriage out of the venue quickly.

************************************************** ************************************
"Leader...Master, is it okay to let that woman go with us?" In the carriage, Kress turned his head and whispered to Sol.

Sol smiled wryly, do you think I want to?He sighed: "No problem, and there is no need to hide your identity."

After oh, Kress asked again: "What about the dragon in the mountain?"

Sol was so frightened that he quickly covered his mouth, for fear that this guy would say something to irritate Elebena again.He said with a dry smile: "It's okay, it's okay, don't worry about that dragon. Stop talking nonsense and concentrate on driving your car."

Fortunately, Elebena didn't express anything else, but leaned intently next to a box of gold coins, lovingly touching the box, and the greedy expression on her face made Sol shudder.

Damn, isn't she also eyeing these gold coins?

At this time, the carriage had already galloped to the city gate. These days Sol, a high-flyer, was already a well-known celebrity in Ferry City. In addition, there was the logo of the Adventurer's Guild on the carriage, and the city guards let him pass smoothly.

"Haha, Lovell, I'm back!" Sol cheered in the car after driving out of the city gate.

At this time, in the arena in the city, the adventurers were patiently waiting for Thor to return.At this time, a staff member hurried over: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, he left."

The official said strangely: "He left? Did he say anything?"

The staff member shook his head: "Mr. Zhang Anbu left quietly, and he seems to have taken all the gold coins with him."

"What!?" The official grabbed his collar: "How is this possible?"

Cardo was the first to react: "No, we have encountered a liar."

It seems that this so-called martial arts competition is completely a scam. That Zhang Anbu colluded with Elebena to play a white wolf with empty gloves, and cheated 10,000+ gold coins for life. Not to mention the heavy losses of the Adventurer's Guild, he also lost all face .

Letting go of the staff, the official said with an ugly face: "You actually lied to the Adventurer's Guild, those guys will never be spared. Please catch up immediately, whoever catches the liar will have the magic core."

The rest of the adventurers also came to their senses, and they all screamed in anger. Everyone cursed that despicable and cunning Liar Zhang in the most vicious language, and got on their horses and chased him out.

Rulert's team was also ordered to chase out, and Cardo rode his horse and went hand in hand with Rulert: "Do you believe it?"

Ruret shook his head: "With Elebena's strength, there is no need to be a liar. Besides, for a mere 10,000+ gold coins, it is really not worth taking two top-level magic cores to take risks. There must be some misunderstandings that we don't know about."

Meine, who was struggling to grab the rein and lay on the saddle, also said, "I believe in big sister."

"Hurry up, just ask when you see someone." Laris said lightly.

Rulet sighed and whipped his whip twice, and the group quickly caught up with the adventurer in front.

****************************************************************************************
The sky is bright and the sun is bright, the horses are galloping, and the carriage is full of several boxes of gold coins. Sol's mood is also good. Of course, it would be more perfect without the dragon.

10,000+ gold coins, how to spend them?Use half of the mansion to renovate the lord's mansion. This is the money I earned. No one should object, right?Leave the rest to Reed, money begets money, keep rolling, and send it yourself...

Just when Sol was immersed in his fantasy and was overwhelmed with joy, Chip yelled, "Someone is chasing him."

Surprised, Sol and Jessica immediately lay down behind the carriage, and sure enough, a group of black spots were approaching rapidly in the distance, and a group of people on horseback could be seen faintly.

"Who are they?" Thor asked in surprise.

Chip circled his fingers into a tube shape, closed his right eye, and took a closer look at his left eye like a telescope for a moment: "It's the pursuers of the Adventurer's Guild. I saw Rulert."

"Isn't it? We were discovered so soon?" Suo Er couldn't help but cry, if he was caught up, would it be okay?
He quickly patted Kress on the back: "Hurry up."

Kress turned around and said, "I can't go any faster, Lord Lord. There are four people in this carriage and several boxes of gold coins. It's too heavy to run fast at all."

The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and soon they were about [-] meters behind the carriage. Rulert shouted: "Mr. Zhang Anbu, please stop, we have something to say."

No wonder I listen to you.Saul ignored him, just urging Kress to speed up.Unfortunately, how can a seriously overloaded carriage run faster than a light one?The distance between the two sides is getting closer.

Rulet shouted for them to stop again, with some angry adventurers shouting and cursing at the same time.Sol had no choice but to lie on the back of the carriage and replied: "There is nothing to say, the tournament is over, and I'm going home."

"In this case, please leave the gold coins and go back to the city with us to explain to the guild. I promise I won't embarrass you." Rulert said loudly.

If I really want to go back, will I still be alive?Sol wasn't that stupid.He was about to refuse, when Chip yelled: "Be careful!" He pulled him away from the car window, and at the same time grabbed a bow and arrow that had shot in.

It was an impatient adventurer who made a sneak attack. If it wasn't for Kip's sharp eyesight and quick hands, Sol might really have to return to his place on the spot.

At this time, two impatient mercenaries did not listen to Rulert's dissuasion, and rushed forward on their horses.Annoyed at their surprise attack on Thor, Chip took out two daggers from his waist without saying a word.

The adventurer rushed forward, and the sound of horseshoes could be clearly heard.When they were about to cross the carriage and move forward, Chip shook the dagger lightly in each hand, and at the same time heard two painful neighings from the horses outside the carriage, followed by the muffled sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.

It was Kip who shot the horse's leg with a throwing knife, and the two adventurers rolled to the ground with their horses and men, and it was impossible to chase after them.The space in the carriage is narrow and it is difficult to use force, but Chip can still accurately shoot the leg of the galloping horse through the narrow window.

"Okay!" Saul leaned over to the window and shouted.

"Come back soon, do you want to die?" Jessica dragged him back.

At the same time, a series of sound came from the carriage boards. Seven or eight long arrows pierced through the thin wooden boards, and the sharp arrows sank deep inside. The tip reached Sol's nose, scaring him into a cold sweat.

Afraid of Kip's flying knife, the adventurers didn't dare to approach it for a while, and took out their bows and arrows to shoot.All of a sudden, there was a constant rattling sound on the rear compartment of the carriage, and all kinds of arrow branches were nailed to it in a mess. The long and short shafts of the arrows made the carriage look like a clumsy hedgehog.

Seeing the arrows penetrating the wooden board one after another, everyone in the carriage was also very afraid, and they all lay down on the ground to hide from the arrows.Knowing that going on like this is not the answer, Sol said loudly, "We have to find a way."

Jessica said helplessly: "I can't even run, and I can't win when I fight. What can I do?"

Chip said in a deep voice: "Only throwing the gold coins off the cart can reduce the weight of the carriage, and more or less stop the opponent for a while."

what! ?Want to drop gold coins?So I've been busy these days, haven't I?Saul shook his head: "No, you can't leave the money anyway."

Jessica said angrily, "What time are you still thinking about money!"

Sol rolled his eyes: "This is all Lovell's money. If you take it back, I don't know how many things you can do. Are you really willing?"

Jessica was speechless, she was actually in charge of Lovell's internal affairs, she naturally knew how short of money the territory was, and if the money was brought back, Lovell's predicament would be fundamentally alleviated.

She hesitated, "Is there any other way?"

Chip shook his head, and was about to speak when more than a dozen arrows were nailed to the carriage. This time, almost half of the arrows penetrated the carriage, indicating that the pursuers were getting closer, and the power of the arrows also increased.

Jessica didn't hesitate anymore, grabbed the nearest box of gold coins and pushed it out of the carriage.Sol was shocked, and quickly stopped her: "Think about the long-term, think about the long-term. Whatever you do, don't make trouble with money."

Jessica said angrily: "Although money is important, you have to survive to spend it. Help me!"

Solyu defended himself: "Even if you throw the gold coins, it may not be able to stop them..." His eyes suddenly caught Elebena.

Ever since the pursuers arrived, Elebena had been lying between the two boxes of gold coins, and no noise in the carriage could make her lower her eyelids, as if she had nothing to do with herself.

Yes, isn't she still there?Sol suddenly realized, and quickly said to Jessica: "Wait a minute, I have a solution."

As he spoke, he came to Elebena and coughed dryly.Elebena slowly opened her eyes: "What's wrong?"

"Please, you have to be professional when you're stupid, okay? It's going to be a mess outside, even if you're deaf, you should see the arrows on the carriage." Sol cursed inwardly.

But on the surface, he was naturally very respectful: "There are pursuers behind."

"Oh." Nodding her head to show that she understood, Elebena closed her eyes again.

A vein twitched on Sol's forehead. If it weren't for the huge difference in strength between the two sides, he really wanted to be so beastly and punish this hateful female dragon on the spot.

"No, be patient, I want to be patient. Besides, my first time in this world cannot be handed over to reptiles." Thor warned himself.

He laughed and said, "The chasing soldiers are very powerful, we can't beat them. You see, the carriage is almost nailed into a hedgehog."

Elebena opened her eyes again: "You want me to help."

For a moment, Sol always felt that he saw a trace of complacency in Elebena's eyes, just like the expression of a hunter watching his prey step into the trap, which made him very uneasy.But the most urgent thing was to deal with the pursuers, so he had no choice but to nod.

Elebena sat up lazily, with a look of doubt: "I also want to help, but the injury on my body is too serious, and I can't move at all."

It's strange to believe you, I just saw you bouncing around in the ring this afternoon, and now you can't move?Obviously pretending.Sol had no choice but to be patient and said: "It's urgent, please help."

Elebena sighed "helplessly": "Okay, but you also know that I am an adventurer, and I have to be paid for accepting commissions."

There was a secret passage, and Sol said cautiously: "Then what do you want?"

Elebena didn't answer, but quickly turned around in the car with her eyes. This movement made the female dragon look like a special product of human beings - profiteers.

"Gold coins?" Saul asked tentatively.

Nod.

"How many?"

The eyeballs rolled again.

"All?" Thor's voice was already trembling.

Another nod.

"Damn!" Saul was furious, it was really tolerable, what was unbearable.This dragon is too black, want to swallow it all?Hmph, unless it takes my life.

At this moment, the thin carriage board finally couldn't withstand the continuous shooting of bows and arrows, and a big hole was broken with a bang, and at the same time, several arrows whizzed past Sol's ears.

"Idiot, promise her quickly!" Jessica was in a hurry, pinching Sol's neck and shaking desperately.

"Even if I don't get shot to death, I will be played to death by you two women." Saul thought sadly.

Signaling Jessica to stop, he moved to Elebena's side with teary eyes: "At least give me [-]%?"

"You..." Unexpectedly, Saul would still bargain at this time, Jessica was furious, and suddenly an arrow passed her shoulder, opening a hole.

Jessica screamed and was immediately pushed down by Chiprah.Seeing that Jessica was injured, Sol slapped himself hard, weeping like a martyr on the guillotine: "Deal."

Hearing this, Elebena, who looked lazy, seemed to be on a stimulant, her eyes glistened, and Saul couldn't help feeling that the power of money was indeed terrifying.

Suddenly seeing Elebena appear from the hole in the rear compartment, the adventurers who had chased up to her were panicked, and they still remembered how powerful she was.

Seeing him, Rulert's eyes lit up, and he rushed up immediately: "Miss Elebena, why did you leave without saying goodbye?"

Elebena looked at her and smiled sweetly: "Because I want to leave."

Unexpectedly, she answered so directly, Rulert smiled wryly: "But this kind of behavior will make everyone think you are liars, please stop the carriage and explain."

Elebena shook her head: "I'm sorry, I was entrusted by someone, you can't chase me anymore."

Ruret still wanted to speak, and an adventurer said loudly: "Don't be afraid, everyone, no matter how powerful she is, she is just a woman, let's go!"

The dazed adventurers rushed up immediately, and Elebena didn't attack, but just chanted a spell softly, and then waved her hand to the ground.

With a loud bang, a ten-meter-wide pit suddenly sank in the center of the road. The pit was covered with sticky mud, completely cutting off the entire road.The dozen or so adventurers who ran in the front couldn't dodge in time, and they fell down with their horses, stuck in the mud and unable to move.

The rest of the people were shocked, and quickly reined in their horses and stopped by the pit, watching Sol's carriage quickly go away.This road happened to be sandwiched between a valley, the road was cut off, and it was impossible to bypass it.

Rulert rode his horses to the edge of the pit, and Laris said, "Do you want to continue chasing them? I can send them there with levitation."

Kado looked at the carriageway that had become very small: "I can shoot that Zhang Anbu to death with one arrow."

Ruret shook his head: "Forget it, killing people is meaningless. With Elebena around, we can't catch up with him. Let's go back."

Rulert and his party turned around first, and after cursing at the pit for the rest of the adventure, we rescued our companions and left helplessly.

What Sol didn't know was that his mischief had caused the Adventurer's Guild to suffer.Excluding the 10,000+ gold coins stolen by Sol, the guild spent hundreds of thousands in total on building the tournament venue and organizing the competition.After returning to the city, the angry adventurers accused the guild of colluding with liars. In order to appease them, the guild returned the registration fee plus compensation of hundreds of thousands of gold coins, and inexplicably spent nearly a million dollars.

Although there were a lot of gold coins lost, it was still affordable for the rich and powerful Adventurers Guild.However, the serious damage to the guild's reputation this time is incalculable. The guild leaders who were extremely angry afterwards ordered a thorough investigation of the matter, and must find out that liar Zhang Anbu.
