Magic Tower Starry Sky

Chapter 232: Nostalgic news?

Dwarves are easy friends as long as they show their kindness. This point is well reflected in Lin who is about to be overwhelmed by the smiling faces.

And it's not just dwarves. The mercenary group composed of pseudo-orcs staying in the tavern was also very interested in the fireball-breathing shield. He even became acquainted with Lin, who was touted by the dwarves as a master of runes.

A few academic exchanges failed to delve into it, and a group of people entered the realm of talking about mountains and bragging after drinking. At this time, Fen, who was quietly sitting aside, was very conspicuous. A few dwarves with flushed faces reeked of alcohol and ran to the lich's side recklessly, asking, "Woman, what skills do you have to follow the master?"

One of the dwarves was the one who tested the shield. The full-cover magic armor is his family's armor. Because of the material, the magic resistance and defense are amazing, but the weight is equally scary. It is difficult to wear that kind of race if it is not a race with innate divine power like dwarves. It's just that he doesn't leave his armor as if showing off, even now that he's drunk and talking like crazy, the armor leaves on his body are even clinking.

When Fern saw that it was this guy who ran up to him and said nonsense, he didn't say much, just raised his slender hand and recited a word. In an instant, more than a dozen fireballs shot out one after another, and the first one sent the dwarf flying into the sky, and even the mask with the helmet was thrown down and closed.

More than a dozen fireballs hit the body, and the momentum was astonishing, which naturally attracted everyone's attention. Seeing that the bombarded dwarf lay dead again, the tavern was silent, and there was no response for a long while. The good thing helped his companion up, and when he took off his mask, he saw that the dwarf's proud beard was burned a few times. He widened his eyes, looked at his companion, and then threw a slap at him. Winking, the woman who just let go of her hand said:

"It's so exciting, come twice a day, it's a pleasure!"

There was a commotion among the crowd, and someone brought a mug of ale to the dwarf who had suffered another round of fireballs. He was not polite either, and drank a whole glass of ale with a few grunts.

Although the aesthetics of dwarves are different from that of humans, the queen-like temperament shown by Fern subconsciously makes these dwarves feel awe. Now I saw this Lianju fireball technique again, which is not something ordinary magicians can perform.

The painting style of Master Midi is to fight hand-to-hand like a berserker after giving himself a whole body of support. This is the same regardless of race. Someone who can throw more than a dozen fireballs at will is definitely a talent. And those who are capable will be respected wherever they go. So Lin enjoyed the toast treatment once in line, and the protagonist was replaced by Fen.

But this group of dwarves who don't know the details don't know that the body of a lich is composed of pure power. If you don't want to get drunk, drinking alcohol is no different from drinking water. So a group of short, bearded people who looked down on the ephemeral species' drinking capacity were also shocked.

How could Fern be able to handle a group of dwarves with no intentions when he was able to play like a fish in water at a noble party. Not to mention the physique that can't lie down when drinking, after pouring down a few dwarves, the crowd became even more fussy.

After the noise, the night gradually deepened, and the tavern gradually returned to calm. People in twos and threes gather together and chat about more intimate topics. The two girls had collapsed to the ground, lying on the table and fell asleep. It stands to reason that it's not time for them to go to sleep, probably because of that sip of wine.

Fern flicked her upturned feet, and there were already many snoring dwarves at her feet. The leisurely Lich shook his half-full wine glass, taking a sip and not a sip.

Lin also chatted with the dwarf who first came to talk to him. In addition to being the small captain of the fortress garrison, he is also the owner of this tavern. But he thinks that his main job should be a dwarf craftsman who specializes in making shields.

"Oh, that's no wonder." Lin sighed in admiration, looked at one of the walls of the tavern, and said, "No wonder this tavern uses such a special shield as a wall decoration. This shield is really Very unique artistic sense."

In addition to the strong dwarven rough style, the shield on the wall is also densely covered with exquisite dwarf runes, which looks like a rare treasure. But as a decoration, the most special thing is the upper part of the shield. A slanted opening neatly divides the shield into upper and lower parts. A little incompleteness in perfection highlights its value as a work of art.

It should be flattering words, but the dwarf who listened was terrified and silent. After a while, he smashed the table angrily, made a bang bang sound, and yelled at the sky.

A dwarf next to him joked and said, "Hey, master, you shouldn't mention that shield in front of this old man. That shield is not a work of art, it is his family's ancestral magic gold shield, which was chopped down of."

This time the flattery hit the horse's feet. Lin staggered and asked, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."

Letting out a long breath, the dwarf said with some annoyance: "Forget it. Master, you don't know about those things, there will be misunderstandings, and I can't blame you."

After persuading the dwarf to drink a few times, Lin watched the dwarf's mood calm down a little, and asked curiously: "May I take the liberty to ask, what happened?" Then he helped the dwarf fill another glass of wine. "Just treat it as a drunken chat, and it's fine to vent your grievances."

Glancing sideways at the curious magician, the dwarf took a sip of his wine and said, "That was a few years ago. A group of adventurers passed by the fortress. A young man inside held a door-sized weapon and declared that he could Cutting off everything in the world, I don’t believe it. First, the shield I made myself was cut into two pieces without hindrance like cutting cheese. Then I took out my favorite work, and even stacked two shields, all of which were cut into two pieces. In the end, I don’t know if I had a brain twitch, or I drank too much alcohol, and I actually used the shield passed down by my ancestors to block it, but the result was still the same..."

"Then why don't you repair your ancestral shield and hang it on the wall like this."

"What can I do?" The dwarf complained, pounding on the table, making a loud bang. "I can't repair the shield left by my ancestors, and I can't recast the shield. What else can I do except hang it on the wall as a decoration."

"Calm down! Calm down!" Lin could only persuade the dwarf's attitude that he still couldn't let go.

It was just such a conversation that caused one of the orc mercenary group, a female orc with a lynx head and a pattern all over her body, to sit over and ask, "You said a weapon that looks like a door panel. Do you have any?" May I ask the name of that weapon?"

"Well, let me think about it. At that time, the young man seemed to say it was Zhanjiandao."

"It really is it." The bobcat man exclaimed.

Just hearing that name, Lin almost spit out a sip of wine from his mouth. After finally restraining himself, he kept a calm look, but his eyes rolled around, to make sure that no one else noticed his abnormality. The dwarf and the lynx chatted about the weapon, and the others focused on their conversation. Only Fen glanced at someone from the corner of her narrow eyes.

The dwarf gritted his teeth and said angrily: "If I see him again, let him try my latest shield."

Feelings said that the resentment of the dozen or so fireballs came from here.

"You know, the person who uses the ship-cutting knife is a big man." The Lynx said with emotion: "He is the new captain of the dragoons of the Karlsruhe Empire. For a long time, Karlsruhe and Karlsruhe Another empire, Haider, has constant conflicts on the border. As a traditional air combat dominant country, Haider's airship corps is a big problem for other countries. One knife actually forced the airship army to dare not appear, and the border conflict between the two empires has only subsided for a while. When I heard that the weapon came from the Southwest Peninsula, no one believed it. Listening to you now, it should be Really."

"What's going on?" This time, the dwarf was very curious.

The female lynx shook her empty wine glass with a smirk on her face. Naturally, the dwarf who has a good thing, picks up the flagon and fills it up for the other party. After moistening his throat, Shan Mao continued to preach:

"The border conflict between the two empires has not stopped since the last war. Haider relied on the advantage of the airship to almost suppress Karlsruhe. Although the latter also established a dragoon brigade, but It is still useless to use flesh and blood against the strongest weapons of war. If Karlsruhe's iron cavalry were not too sharp, and Haider's ground troops would not have the advantage, I am afraid that a large area of ​​​​territory would have been lost. At the end of the year before last, Karl The emperor of Sruhe died, and his only daughter succeeded him as the new empress, and the mother of the former emperor, who is also the grandmother of the current empress, was the regent. Haider thought it was a great opportunity, and sent the airship corps first, ready to launch A big battle. Who knew that as soon as they crossed the border, several airships were abolished by the newly appointed captain of the dragoons alone. And because there were no casualties, it could not be used as an excuse for war, so Haider shrank back , that battle did not start."

"How did you do it?" The dwarves became even more curious~www.wuxiamtl.com~Generally, to deal with airships, they can only attack people from above the deck. Because weapons that can take to the sky usually can't cause damage to airships. But the Zhanjiandao can attack from below the airship, directly cutting off the keel of the hull. As long as the keel is broken, even if the airship can maintain flight and carry people in a short period of time, it will not take a few times before the hull will fall apart. However, the keel is not a component that can be easily replaced. Once the keel is broken, the airship is equivalent to being scrapped. This kind of scrapping a few airships before the war started, even a rich and powerful empire could not afford such a toss. So the Haider Empire withdrew, and temporarily died down. "

"No way, an empire is so tall."

"I heard that the Karlsruhe Empire succeeded in imitating the Zhanjiandao. Any country that sees a whole squadron of dragoons using the Zhanjiandao, I think they will reconsider whether to go to war. Especially I heard that there are several times in Karlsruhe E solved the domestic rebellion of the nobles who refused to accept the young empress. When they attacked the rebel castle, they did not use battering rams to clear the way, but directly used the ship-chopping knife to cut open the city gate and kill them in. It can be said that the ship-chopping knife is no longer classified as general The category of weapons, but siege weapons. The airship is very strong, but its flexibility is not as good as that of the flying dragon. If it is targeted by the flying dragon with siege weapons, it is useless to have more airships. This is why Haider postponed the war main reason."

"Just postponing the war."

"Yes, the two empires will still have another war after all, sooner or later. It's just that there is no sure chance of winning now, so there is no fight."
