The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 022 Dragon Priest

"If you are a passerby who easily listens to others, then you are likely to walk into the "thorns."

"What awaits you is definitely not some enthusiastic hill dwarf boss, but a malicious bartender, a lobby full of thugs, and thieves who are eyeing you with greed."

"Don't be surprised. Thorn is such a black shop that specializes in killing passers-by."

"Of course, if you're a suspicious person and you think he's deceiving you and you want to do the opposite, then the situation is slightly different."

"When you walk into the Green Dragon Princess, you will regret not listening to the old man's advice and think that you have misunderstood a good person who showed you the way."

"Because... the Green Dragon Princess is also a black shop."

In a warm and dry tree house.

The woman with green eyeshadow gently brought over a glass of bubbling green drink, placed it in front of Roger, and smiled cheerfully:

"Fortunately, you are smarter than both of them."

"Welcome to Dragon Tooth Village."

Roger nodded slightly in thanks.

He took the drink but didn't drink it.

The woman didn't care. She straightened her long black hair and sat down slowly.

"My name is Cindy, and I'm the leader of this village."

She introduced herself with a smile in her eyes:

"Two children from our village met you this morning, and you scared them badly."

"But please don't mind. They were just tracking down the jackal's corpse and encountered you by chance."

"Excuse me, what's your name?"

Roger did not hide anything and gave his name.

…

Ten minutes ago, Roger arrived at Longya Village.

After informing the guard of his purpose, he was greeted by the woman who called herself Cindy.

Cindy is about thirty years old, with a pretty face and a hot body.

She only wore a light green tube top on her upper body, revealing her snow-white breasts and playful belly button;

Below is a grass skirt woven from reeds, and something seems to be moving faintly under the skirt, which makes people imagine.

But Roger didn't dare to underestimate the woman in front of him.

Aerial magic showed that her occupation was "Dragon Priest".

However, when it comes to detailed categories such as level, life, and characteristics, there are a series of question marks.

This means that either Cindy's strength is far greater than his, or she has some secret method that can resist the analysis of Qigong.

Whatever the case, it means that this woman is far from being as simple as she appears.

Roger was quite careful in his dealings with Cindy.

In conversation.

Roger told Cindy the same story as before, that he was an adventurer from the west of the wetlands.

His teammates were hunting down the remaining gnolls.

He himself came here first to see if he could get some supplies at the human gathering place.

…

"Adventurers from the West?"

"Are all the teammates chasing the jackal monster?"

Cindy couldn't help but smile.

She looked at Roger deeply:

"You are truly the most cautious adventurer I have ever met."

Roger remained silent.

"But you're not from the West, and you don't have any teammates. You killed all the gnolls, didn't you?"

Cindy superimposed one white thigh on the other leg and said cheerfully:

"I'm not questioning you when I say this - it's necessary to be cautious when you're out there on your own."

"I just want to tell you: Relax, we mean no harm."

Roger looked into her clear eyes and suddenly said:

"Have you been to the gnoll settlement?"

"Yes." Cindy confessed:

"After those two reckless guys told me what happened, I went to the scene to see it."

"In the end, we only found traces of your battle."

Roger nodded and asked:

"So, what's wrong with the phrase 'Adventurers from the West'?"

Cindy smiled and took a sip of the drink in front of her:

"There are no more adventurers in the West."

"That is the territory of the Lord of Evil Spirits. No one can enter or leave."

Roger suddenly realized and felt a little more relaxed.

At least he didn't make any logical mistakes, he just lost due to the information gap.

This is inevitable when you come to a strange place.

"I have a commission."

Cindy suddenly spoke up.

Roger perked up, knowing that this was the point.

This woman has talked so much to me, she must have some ulterior motive.

"Tell me about it." He didn't say anything final.

Cindy nodded and her tone became serious:

"The old man you met on Lettuce Avenue was called Humphrey."

"He is the biggest villain on Yellowstone Island. The Green Dragon Princess and the Thorn Inn are both his properties."

"He has always been ruthless to passing adventurers, and killing and robbing them is commonplace."

"He was also full of malice towards other residents of the island."

"Recently, he has gathered a group of refugees from the marshland and started to frequently harass our village. I am worried that the villagers will be harmed if this continues, so I hope you can get rid of him for me."

After listening, Roger said nothing.

Cindy took out things from the cabinet next to her with a smile and placed them in front of Roger.

"What do you mean?" Roger asked.

"You can choose any of the commission's rewards."

Cindy pointed to the first item, a simple wooden sign, and said:

"This is a precious ticket. With it, you can go to the beastmaster in the south of Yellowstone Island to ride the "Dragon Express". The dragon beast will take you anywhere in the Wetlands... well, except the west."

Then she picked up the second item - it was an exquisite silver-white ring.

"This is the Wind Control Ring, a top-level magic item. When used with a specific spell, it can allow you to control the strong wind."

Then she placed her hand on a yellowed piece of parchment:

"The map of the Green Dragon Temple is said to be the largest treasure trove in the Wetlands. Although I only have half of it, it is still priceless."

Finally, she patted herself lightly.

Roger was stunned for a moment.

"Finally, it's me."

The dragon priest bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth and pressed her green fingers on the light green bra. Her posture of leaning forward slightly created a huge visual impact.

“I will definitely not let you down.”

Her tone became ambiguous.

The restless shadow under the grass skirt also revealed its true appearance.

It was a slender, scaly tail.

Roger coughed, stood up and pushed away the dragon priest who was about to stick to him:

"Sorry, that's not my interest... um, not..."

"Anyway, I refuse."

…

In the end, Roger successfully exchanged food and fresh water in Longya Village in addition to fresh lettuce.

He did not accept Cindy's commission for a simple reason.

He wasn't a killer.

He didn't even know the details of that "Hanfran".
