Barrett's statement was reasonable, and he immediately refuted Claudia into silence. However, after successfully stopping someone from chattering, Barrett did not pursue the victory. Because he knows that for such a woman, he must do the right thing. If there is anything that makes the other party feel that he is taking advantage of the topic, it may be fine for now. But once the news is over, that young lady will definitely become more of a headache than before. In the following days, the ¡®Blood-stained Gray Flower¡¯ mercenary group and the ¡®Wilderness Gang¡¯ conducted several more harassments around the fortress in front of them. But after the last lesson, the other party completely closed the door and allowed these hostile elements to roam freely outside the city. However, relying solely on the player and the team acting together is not actually a powerful deterrent. What really makes the opponent dare not act rashly is the knight (or two) who doesn't know where he is hiding. And it seems that it was also affected by that battle. The transport team that Barrett originally had a lot of confidence in did not appear with the "Magic War Horse". As a large number of champion knights died in the battle, they also died on the battlefield in front of the fortress. This has greatly reduced the amount of 'soothing medicine' used in the fortress, and it can last for a long time even if there is a lack of supplies. In fact, when the Lucians retreated that day, there were still several "Magic Horses" that were not seriously injured and were left on the battlefield. But neither the players nor the aboriginal people who acted together had any idea of ????taking these trophies. After all, although these ¡®magic-bred war horses¡¯ are valuable, they are not so easy to subdue and obey. If they were taken away by force, if those beasts saw the opportunity and escaped, the hiding places of the two teams would be immediately exposed to the eyes of the Lucians. Of course, these problems are not unsolvable among aboriginal teams with many wilderness professions. The more important reason is that the 'Magic War Horse' allocated to the champion rider by the Kingdom of Lucia is really inseparable from the 'Soothing Potion'. Without that kind of consumable, the value of these ¡®magic-bred war horses¡¯ would plummet in a few days. It's not worth the druids investing so much resources into taming. In order to destroy the resources in Lucia's hands as much as possible, to prevent these mounts from being taken back by the Lucia people in the fortress after they left. The players killed those ¡®Moyu War Horses¡¯ that still had hope of being cured. But now it seems that his original behavior seemed to have indirectly cheated him. ¡°But Barrett also knows that even he didn¡¯t do that at the beginning. Letting go of these 'Magic War Horses' resulted in a shortage of 'Soothing Potions' in the fortress. Those Lucians will not send their transport team into the tiger's mouth until they find a safe escort solution. So he still has a very open mind on this matter. Just when the players had gained nothing for a long time, the communication gem that had been quiet for a long time suddenly projected a series of words: "The situation has changed, come back soon!" Crow saw this projection Dia jumped up from her bed as soon as she left: "I can finally leave this damn place. This period of time has been really boring." "Barrett, what do you think this is going on?" In comparison, Riellie, who was holding the quill underneath, was still more concerned about the deeper reasons behind this. Barrett frowned: "It seems that Lucia's side should have increased its troops. Next, the role we can play here will probably be greatly reduced, but the risks will be greatly increased. Anyway, the necessary training will be carried out It's almost over. The territory probably thinks this is not a good deal, so they chose to recall us. "I didn't expect the war to start so soon." Clematis said. He sat up from his bed. Barrett let out a sigh of relief after hearing this, and then took down the communication gem hanging on the wall: "Is this fast? If it were any later, the winter offensive of the Kingdom of Lucia would not be successful. If it were launched in the spring, When they didn¡¯t occupy much land in Cruze, do you think it would be better for the Lucians to withdraw their troops? Or just give up on spring farming and gamble on grabbing enough grain from Cruze territory? If you have enough wealth, can't you buy enough food?" Claudia asked slightly unconvinced. Without using Barrett this time, Clematis had already spoken directly: "Food! It depends on the quantity. If the demand is too great, the situation in the western continent may not be able to buy it even if you have money! Moreover, The Kingdom of Lucia has such a large population, even if the civilians recruited for the war only affect 20% of the year's food production, there will be a big food gap. "Of course, political factors are also a serious problem, thinking on the mainland. Many countries saw the Kingdom of Lucia stumble. If there is a famine in their country, not too many people will be hurt. The nobles from various places control the most land in the Western Continent. At the same time, the output from the land often must go through them.Only then can traders flow into the trading channel. As long as there is just a little bit of trouble at this source, Lucia will have to sit still even if she has money. What's more, there are ways to cause trouble for the caravans such as restricting border crossings, which will cause the loss of the grain stocks purchased in advance by the chamber of commerce, and may not be able to be transported to their destinations in time. "Okay! You guys talk slowly here. I'll go underground first to meet with my comrades over there to see if they should go back." After saying this, Barrett stood up and opened the door. came out, leaving no time for the companions in the room to react. Pushing aside the temporary wooden board at the entrance of the cave, Barrett rang the bell temporarily hung next to the cave and walked in. Although the living habits of the aboriginal people in front of them are very different from those of the players, they can do almost the same things as the players while hiding in the cave on this cold day. Looking at the two rangers who were fiddling with the branches, Barrett turned his attention directly to Ms. Lilinda Bolum: "We have just received an order from the territory, and they are preparing to let us leave here immediately and return to the territory. "I don't know if your team's arrangements are the same as ours." "It looks like it's too risky for us to continue doing this." Ms. Lilinda Bolum naturally understands the reason behind the territorial summons. intention. Then a smile appeared on Barrett's face: "Happy cooperation! If there is a chance, I hope my comrades will be you next time." "I don't want to meet you guys again. It's not good in battle, But he is quite good at grabbing the spoils." Before Ms. Lilinda Bolum could answer, Ms. Vicari on the side hummed as she left. Although Vicari's words are somewhat exaggerated, it is true that in the previous battles, the players' performance was not as good as the natives in front of them. Ms. Lilinda Bolum's Green Bound Summon and Ms. Vicari's Dragon The beast is too disruptive to the balance. However, Barrett could also tell that the words of the female druid in front of him were completely petty and should not be taken seriously at all. Even so, Ms. Lilinda Boreham still withdrew her teammates. Then he looked at Barrett a little apologetically and asked: "You also know her character. She is reluctant to let go of her quarrelsome companion." Vicari did not refute this time, but turned around. After seeing this scene, Barrett immediately stopped wasting time on this episode. He sat on a barrel nearby and asked: "Which deal we proposed last time, Lilinda, what are your thoughts on it?" ? As for the reward, we can pay it with the loot that belongs to us this time. Of course, if you want the family to contribute, we can also wait until we return to the territory to make the transaction. "Why do you want that kind of service from us?" You can also apply directly to the family after returning to the territory!" Ms. Lilinda Bolum did not answer directly, but kicked the ball back to Barrett's feet. Barrett smiled and was not prepared to lie: "Although the family is powerful and the help it can provide is very comprehensive. But if you prefer fields related to nature, I'm afraid it won't be as good as Lilinda and the people behind you. Those people! I think the cost-effectiveness would be better if I asked you for help." "Stingy guy!" Ms. Vicari suddenly said this sarcastically. However, Barrett didn¡¯t take it seriously: ¡°It¡¯s a good habit to be diligent and frugal in housekeeping! The ladies in my team spend money lavishly. If I were like them, I would really have to maintain my finances. I can¡¯t go on. So it¡¯s a good idea to save a little!¡± ¡°Looking at the friendship we have been together for so long, I can give you a friendship price. However, that kind of ceremony requires a lot of materials, and we don¡¯t have them now. We can only wait until we return to the territory to report on our duties." Ms. Vicari paused at this, "And the fairy dragon is a very delicate and sensitive creature. There is nothing we can do if it refuses to sign the contract. . And the original ceremony fee will not be refunded! " "Don't worry! I also have confidence in your skills. And as long as the fairy dragon is not from the evil camp, it shouldn't be too much. It's hard to be satisfied. Do you think we are from the evil camp?" Barrett nodded in agreement. Ms. Vicari smiled: "Since this is the case, I now wish your mage to find a good magic pet." "This has been her wish for many years!" Barrett said with some exaggeration. Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is true that the mage has waited until now for a suitable magic pet. Those high-level advanced familiars each have their own benefits, but the most suitable creature for Rielle is still the fairy dragon. As a pseudo-close relative, the Fairy Dragon is eccentric and fun-loving by nature, always spending a lot of time in the woods.Play in the open space or prepare various pranks. Although such pranks are usually innocent, they can sometimes be quite annoying (such as horses being smeared with berry juice, squirrels being placed in sleeping bags, and clothing being hung from branches high in trees). Unlike true dragons, faery dragons do not grow in size with age, but their scales change color, starting out red and changing to iridescent dark purple in old age. The fairy dragon will increase in spellcasting ability as it ages (just like a warlock gains levels), acquiring more powerful spells to supplement its natural abilities. However, once it becomes a contracted familiar, the fairy dragon's spell level will decrease. Will not continue to improve. But that was enough for Rielle. Because Faerie Dragons generally prefer spells that create or enhance their mischief, illusion and enchantment spells are most popular. Both of these are schools of thought that Rielle is not good at. Even if the fairy dragon with a level of 3 sorcerers usually has insufficient spell effects, it can use the relevant scrolls more easily than Rielle. many. Although the spell-like ability 'Advanced Invisibility' can only be used on oneself, it also ensures the safety of this familiar to a large extent. Of course, because of their nature, most fairy dragons will avoid fighting as much as possible unless they have no choice. If forced to fight, the Faerie Dragon will attempt to confuse rather than destroy its enemies outright, often using a combination of spells and breath weapons to weaken and distract them before escaping. The only exception is when the Faerie Dragon's tribe or allies are in danger. Due to the spritely quirkiness of these tiny dragons, many quickly bond with other suitable creatures, especially fey and other creatures they find interesting or hilarious. Adventurers often become the latter, especially those who encounter faeries. The 'unlucky guy' who plays pranks on dragons. It¡¯s really because of those ¡®unlucky seniors¡¯ who showed the way, that later people would learn that fairy dragons sometimes become companions of spellcasters, as a curious, occasionally reckless but usually reliable kind of familiar. After negotiating the most important deal, Barrett was ready to continue his efforts: "It's not just about the magic pet of the mage. I think it shouldn't be difficult to get some elven specialties through your channels, Lilinda! If possible, I I also want to buy some things, such as Elf-sense gloves and other elven-specific items. "I'll add it later" Of course, due to their nature, most fairy dragons will avoid fighting as much as possible unless they have no choice. room. If forced to fight, the Faerie Dragon will attempt to confuse rather than destroy its enemies outright, often using a combination of spells and breath weapons to weaken and distract them before escaping.
