Scales of Eternal Order

Facts have proved that crew members who are familiar with seafaring are always very accurate in estimating the journey time at sea.

In the morning, the desert elf Obard set foot on a long-lost land-although there is still a short distance from his real hometown.

“Leader,” a mercenary ran over, holding a papyrus with a big stamp in his hand, “all the goods have been checked and accepted by those black skins. We have After paying the tax, you can unload the goods and wait for delivery.”

While speaking, the mercenary blinked at Oberd, deliberately adding some accents to “all”: Mercenary group escorts goods, how can it not carry some private goods?

Actually, carrying some private goods has become a major feature of the mercenary industry. Each mercenary group has a unique entrainment method, which is listed as an industry secret and strictly guarded.

For example, Oberd’s “Wandering Elf” mercenary group usually makes tricks on the vessels that transport goods. This batch of crates and barrels containing fossils is made of processed wood and contains many hidden compartments.

These zero grids contain the mercenary group’s private cargo-saltpeter powder. According to Oberd and his subordinates, this Japanese specialty rock powder is actually a kind of Alchemy materials, mixed with water, can be used to make ice, and selling them to the mage is profitable.

But what these mercenaries don’t know is that their leader concealed some facts. In addition to making ice, these high-concentration saltpeter powders can also be used for “major events”. Of course, there is no need to tell everyone.

“Now that we have the tax declaration certificate,” took the thin papyrus in his hand and shook, Obard turned to his own hand, “what are you waiting for? Put down the ramp and unload the goods immediately . You must know that in the days after the Opat Festival, the taverns in Beit City usually offer discounts, which is suitable for my treat!”

After a long sea trip, almost all the mercenaries are looking forward to it. The moment of landing. And the long words of the mercenary group of desert elves, like a fire star, ignited the tinder pile in everyone’s heart.

After a few consecutive applauses, everyone shook their arms and worked hard, striving to get the head of the group to pay for a treat earlier. Oberd gestured to his subordinates who had just filed a tax return. The sophisticated and clever mercenary immediately understood and turned and walked towards the warehouse.

He has to walk around a spacious and hidden warehouse, and find someone else. So while waiting for the cargo owner to pick up the goods and the young mercenaries to relax, work overtime with the team leader to take out the private goods in advance.

He has been in this industry for some years, so he is quite familiar with these tasks. As the mercenaries moved the crates and drums into the warehouse one after another, he began to work in a corner where no one noticed.

Just as he was disassembling the mezzanine on the 230th drum, Oberd brought a bag of roast meat and a keg of pale beer and walked behind him, “How about it, Did the tarpaulin leak?”

After receiving the food, the confidant stood up. On the one hand, it is convenient for Oberd to check it, and on the other hand, it also saves the juice of the barbecue or the beer that has not been wet. The saltpeter powder in a small bucket, “I’m doing things, don’t worry.”

The desert elf nodded, pointing to the remaining one hundred barrels that have not been dismantled in the mezzanine, “Go to the Sailor’s House ‘Look for a drink with everyone, and say that today’s consumption is credited to my account, and I will be responsible for completing the rest.”

The old mercenary naturally knows when to give up persistence, so After thanking him, he hummed a small song and left the warehouse. Oberd concealed the door of the warehouse and took a lot of effort to put all the saltpeter powder in small buckets and tightly sealed.

Extend the hand aimed at the stacked small barrels. A rays of light flashed by the “worm plate” hidden under the robe. Hundreds of acid mist worms came from the iron The handguard gushed out, wrapped the small bucket filled with saltpeter powder, and then returned to the iron handguard with the small bucket.

“Art is an explosion.”

A nonsense word popped out of Oberd’s mouth, and then it seemed like ignoring why it suddenly burst into the armor. Like so many terrible worms, he ignored his words, and he had other work to complete.

Leaving the temporary warehouse on the dock, the desert elves mercenary group leader followed the bustling flow of people and stepped into Beit City.

Although I have been to Beit several times before, I can guarantee that I will not get lost in this huge city called the “City of Ten Thousand Cities”. It is sheer nonsense. Talk.

But after wearing the worm plate armor, Oberd would no longer worry about the direction: there was an urgent feeling in the dark that drove him to the Southwest direction of the city.

He passed straight through the capital of Medici in a nearly diagonal manner.

“Tailor, the goods have arrived, can I prepare the other supplies I need?”

Pulling up the curtain of the tent, Oberd walked into Canivo Street Of a colorful tent. Seeing that familiar shadow, he no longer had the courtesy he had when they first met, but took the lead in greetings with almost harsh words.

“It’s really neat,” the Tifflin spy dresses like a divination witch who cheats money on the street, “I just sent away the pot maker, and mercenaries arrived,” she sat In front of the case, he pointed to the shadow shrouding his side, “What you want is already ready to be completed.”

The demon kobold assassin hidden in the tent revealed After losing his figure, he dragged two boxes out of the corner. The tailor raised his hand to open the upper buckle and pushed it down in front of the mercenary group: “The best quality sulfur and charcoal.”

Can’t tell whether the worm plate is issued by Oberd himself. After a few grinning laughs, the desert elf mercenary group extended his palm to the box full of sulfur and charcoal.

Acid mist worms gush out in batches, swallow materials, and retract into the plate armor, as if a human being has gastric flatulence due to indigestion, Oberd’s body suddenly swelled a lot, even the body The plate armor has been stretched a bit.

The power of the demon lord lingering on the plate armor played a role, the expansion was stopped, and the plate armor returned to its original shape. The desert elf twisted twice through the iron glove, and a circular hole appeared in the center of the palm, and a black acid mist worm poked its head out of it and spewed a small mouth of black powder.

The other palm carefully caught the powder, and rudely took a piece of papyrus from the tailor’s case table, and Oberd used this paper to hold up the powder. He took off an iron glove and spread the paper on his palm.

Finally, he read a single-syllable incantion, and the iron glove he was wearing suddenly turned red from the heat, and then he lit the powder on the other palm with a hot finger.

Across the paper, the black powder burned violently, but the palm of the desert elf’s armor was not overheated. Upon closer inspection, the paper under the powder did not ignite.

“The quality is very good,” Oberd praised, then turned his gaze to the half-demon kobold, “Are you the assassin tonight?”,

The worm’s plate armor suddenly violent, and several acid mist worms burst out, binding the assassin tightly. The hole just opened on Oberd’s iron glove has not been closed yet, and the distinctive black acid mist worm protrudes into the assassin’s mouth and belly.

“Remember your lines: Art is explosion!”
