The Hidden Knight of Mystra Chapter 170: Practical Application of "Glib Tongue"
"Vera?"
See this name.
Roger was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t it such a coincidence?
Thinking back to the last time in the virtual world room, when Hediwala tested her, Ms. Canary clearly stated that she was from Quinan——
Things seem to be getting a little more interesting.
He took two steps at a time and climbed up to the treetops.
Looked in the direction of the sixth sense.
Through the heavy rain.
Severely limited real vision has finally been discovered!
…
A few kilometers away.
A group of red-robed men riding on flying broomsticks quickly flew over here.
The front of the broom team.
There was a blonde lady with blue eyes and puffy breasts.
She has a pretty face and wears bold clothes.
Under the red robe lifted by the airflow was a pair of snow-white, slender thighs.
It is now firmly closed, holding the broom tightly.
The backs of her bare, slightly arched feet were covered with the slippery rain from the rainforest.
Flowing down drop by drop.
Looks extra tempting.
And against the backdrop of a group of bald men in red robes.
It is only natural that this lady has become more prominent.
…
But Roger just took a quick glance and didn't look at it any further.
on the one hand.
There was the school of assassins dressed in women's clothing, which was pioneered by Cisco.
Roger now sees anyone with bulging breasts and automatically wonders if they are prosthetic breasts.
Then they questioned her gender.
On the other hand.
The opponent's level is very high.
Even though he sees far.
But staring for a long time may still arouse the other person's vigilance.
It took him three days to catch up with the elite investigation team of the Red Robe Organization.
We can't alert the enemy now.
Jump down from the canopy.
Roger cleaned up the bodies and traces of the rainforest frogmen as quickly as possible.
After doing all this.
He pondered for half a minute.
"It's better to do it today than to choose the right time."
“I encountered them all.”
"Let's use the previously prepared plan No. 17. If we fail, we can still use 23 and 69..."
Just think of this.
Roger turned decisively and ran deep into the rainforest.
…
5 minutes later.
Flying brooms swept across the trunks of giant trees as nimbly and swiftly as flying dragons.
A faint smell of blood came from below.
Vera subconsciously slowed down.
A bald man with scars on his face beside her said in a deep voice:
"It's a wolf pack."
"It's not uncommon for a pack of coyotes to kill a tiger."
The remaining seven red-robed men stopped behind.
They have no right to participate in the conversation.
In the open space below.
It seemed as if a brutal battle had just ended.
The poor tiger was defeated by the jungle wolves' round-the-clock attack and eventually became food for the hungry wolves.
Just as Scarred Baldy said.
This is very common in the rainforest.
But Vera shook her head.
She clamped her legs together.
The whole person suddenly flew downwards.
The red robes followed immediately.
"I see, there's something wrong with the leader of this wolf pack!"
Scarface swooped down after him.
He reacted quickly.
His sight immediately locked onto the leader of the wolves, who was trying to hide in the bushes.
That was a genuine "Gray Wolf"!
Compared to the group of skinny coyotes in the clearing.
It is a bit larger in size.
Moreover, the Gray Wolf has its own "Aura of Fear ".
It is not difficult for them, the mages, to distinguish this.
…
The broom team was seen swooping down.
The wolf seemed to realize something and turned and ran away.
What a pity.
Spears were thrown down one after another!
Puff puff puff!
The open space was instantly filled with spears on all four sides.
The spear grows as it sinks into the ground.
It became thick and long in an instant!
The wolf fluttered twice.
But he still couldn't jump over the makeshift cage made of spears!
The next moment.
It bent down alertly and stared at the red robes outside the cage with ferocious eyes.
…
"No need for disguise. Young hunter, or druid?"
After successfully controlling the wolf, Vera was no longer in a hurry.
She gave Scarface a wink.
The latter tactfully walked out of the cage, speaking in a fairly gentle tone:
"If you can answer a few questions for me."
"We won't hurt you."
"If your answer is useful to us, you will get a reward."
The wolf pounced forward suddenly.
An angry roar came from his mouth!
Its claws stretched out from the animal pen!
Scarface's expression was calm and composed, as if he had no idea what fear was.
He spoke a few more words to Canglang.
But the latter simply refused to cooperate.
Scarface turned and looked at Vera expressionlessly:
“Unable to communicate.”
"I suggest torture."
“We’re good at this.”
Vera shook her head coldly:
"This is the first native we've met in this damn forest."
"He might know something."
"Catch him back first. Be careful and don't scare him."
After a moment.
The broom team set off again.
Just this time.
Four of them were in red robes, underneath their brooms.
An extra animal cage was hung.
…
In the cage.
Roger quietly enjoyed the "economy class" service provided by the Broom Team.
And took the opportunity to carefully observe everyone in the team.
The red robes here are all senior mages.
The lowest level is 45.
The ones with the highest level are Vera and the scarred man, both are at Lv59.
As for their true strength, Roger couldn't confirm it for the time being.
no way.
After entering the extraordinary.
Level has become the most easily falsified measure of strength.
Roger could only observe the two people's background from other aspects.
At present.
This group of people are all quite strong.
It would be difficult for Roger to kill them all in one go.
Therefore, outsmarting is a more appropriate route.
In fact.
Plan No. 17 also focuses on outsmarting.
The core part of the early stage is "going deep into the tiger's den".
Roger has already accomplished this step.
It's up to him to adapt to the situation.
…
Bumped around in the cage for a while.
The time had come for Roger to pretend to perform Transfiguration, and he couldn't help but shiver.
The next moment.
He "helplessly" turned into a savage boy wearing only animal skins.
The boy huddled dejectedly in the corner.
His eyes were filled with fear.
See this scene.
From above, the red-robed people were talking in low voices:
"It's a druid, I guessed right."
"Oh, I have long foreseen his titles - 'Woodpecker Boy' and 'Son of the Green Sea'."
"I wonder if he can speak the Common Language..."
While talking.
A towering tree that blocked out the sun appeared in front of us.
Through the outer magic barrier.
You can see tree houses built on the tree trunks.
Sensing unusual movements outside the barrier.
A large number of red robes emerged from the tree house.
They saluted Vera and Scarface with respectful expressions.
Everyone looked at the boy in the cage curiously.
on the data bar.
A large amount of information is pouring down like a waterfall.
…
"Extraordinary Perception: You sensed the Red Robe Mage Cosmo's ill will toward you."
…
"Extraordinary Perception: You sensed the Red Robe Mage Brant's greed for you."
…
"Sixth Sense: You accidentally listened to the inner voice of the red wizard Bob"
…
"Bob: Such a tender little savage, I just wonder how it tastes..."
…
Roger silently endured the burst of perception that occurred at that moment.
And try to filter out useful information from it.
Thanks to the red robes for their strong obsession.
After this circle.
Roger got a general understanding of the situation in the tree house camp.
There are not many red-robed servants here, only 50.
There are more than 20 senior red robes with levels between Lv30 and Lv50.
There are 3 people in extraordinary red robes.
Including Vera, Scarface and the leader of the investigation team, a guy named Yorick.
After arriving at the place.
The red-robed man in charge of the transportation put him on an open space and never cared about him again.
This drying process took three full days!
Fortunately, there is no time limit for this advanced task.
All Roger had to remember was to stop the planetary portal from opening in a month.
So he showed a lot of patience.
In three days.
Roger quietly collected a lot of intelligence.
The most important one is -
The "Investigation Team" does have clues about the Golden House!
But here’s the thing.
Their positioning equipment failed at Mystra.
Lack of landmark references.
Even if Vera rode a broom and led the bald men in and out of the camp every day.
In the end, the results were minimal.
And the extraordinary red-robed man named Yorick never appeared in the camp at all.
I don’t know where he ran to.
Roger then revised his plan in his mind -
His target is not just this batch of red robes.
The most important thing is the Golden House!
The forbidden spell of world destruction is imminent.
Roger will not let go of any item that can resist forbidden spells.
With the support of "Escape Artist".
The animal cage in front of him was just a toy to him.
So he decided to give the red robes two more days.
…
But that night.
The animal pen was broken open by a huge force.
Roger narrowed his eyes slightly, feigning discomfort, with just the right amount of fear on his face.
"Don't be afraid."
"I won't hurt you."
The firelight illuminated Vera's delicate face.
Her voice is very sweet.
As she spoke, she walked towards Roger:
"My name is Vera, and I come from a very far place."
"What happened before was a misunderstanding. My friends mistook you for an enemy. But now the misunderstanding is resolved. I apologize to you on their behalf."
"You are free."
Speaking of.
She gently grasped Roger's hand.
Roger shuddered violently.
The whole person was pressed tightly against the railing of the animal cage, looking at a loss as to what to do.
Vera was very patient.
She bent down and showed a large area of whiteness with great sincerity:
"Can you understand me?"
Roger stared blankly ahead.
It took a long time.
He swallowed and nodded.
Vera took his hand tenderly.
This time.
Roger did not resist.
She smiled sweetly:
"You look starving, don't you?"
"Can I buy you a meal as an apology?"
Roger looked confused.
Vera gestured with her hands for a while:
"Eat food, eat meat."
Roger nodded frantically as if waking from a dream:
"eat!"
“I want to eat!”
Nodding.
He was still staring at Vera's chest.
The latter smiled gently.
She took his hand and stood up.
…
After a moment.
By the campfire.
After a voracious meal.
Vera held her face in her hands.
She asked like an innocent girl:
"Can I know your name?"
Roger "hesitated" for a moment before whispering:
"Sa...Sak."
Vera smiled happily and said:
"We exchanged names, so we are friends!"
"I don't know why, but I felt very happy when I saw you. Maybe this is what it means to be close friends at first sight..."
“Can you tell me your story?”
Seeing Roger showing hesitation.
Vera decisively changed her words:
"Why don't you listen to my story first?"
Roger nodded slightly.
Vera took his hand and began to tell the story.
Her face was full of reminiscence, and her voice seemed to have a yellowish tint:
"I am a natural warlock—
Do you know the Warlock?
Every warlock when he reaches adulthood.
Each of them needs to choose a powerful being on their planet as their "evil sect leader".
Only with the help of the master's power.
We can cast more powerful spells.
…
When I was 14 years old.
I joined the army of the Supreme Fairy.
I gained more power.
But then the nightmare began.
The master showed great interest in me.
Countless nights.
She would appear in my dreams and take me away...
If I can't meet her requirements.
What awaits me will be unbearable punishment.
Can you understand that fear?
..."
Vera spoke on and off for more than half an hour.
Most of them are sad stories.
Speaking of later.
She was already in tears.
And he put his head on Roger's shoulder very naturally.
The refreshing body fragrance wafts into the air.
Rainy night.
bonfire.
A single man and a single woman.
They shared their true feelings with each other after the misunderstanding was resolved.
These elements are so classic together...
And embarrassing.
At least it was embarrassing to Roger.
But he had to cooperate with the other party's performance with all his strength.
Because on the data bar.
…
"Hint: Vera used 'Probe', 'Empathy' and 'Bluff' on you."
…
"Sixth sense: You can sense that Vera still has doubts about your identity as a 'wild boy'.
She deliberately uses the most clichéd and abrupt script to test your reaction.
Even if you reveal the slightest flaw.
This performance will fail.”
…
"This woman is so cunning, she is worthy of being Weilan's daughter..."
Roger sighed silently in his heart.
On the surface, she was acting awkwardly.
In fact, every step is full of calculations.
fortunately.
Roger's perception is high enough, and his facial and limb management is also good enough.
Until Vera finished her talk.
He was sure that he had not revealed any flaws.
When Vera cried.
He just held her little hand helplessly.
After a while.
Vera wiped away her tears and whispered:
"And you?"
"Why are you wandering alone in this dangerous forest?"
At this time.
Half of her body was in Roger's arms.
Roger stammered:
"I……"
"I am an orphan."
"The grandfather who adopted me when I was a child died."
" I live alone in the forest, oh and my wolf..."
"You smell so good..."
"This is not good. It's easy for wild animals to find and eat us..."
on the data bar.
…
"Reminder: Your specialty 'Glib tongue' is in effect..."
…
"Sixth sense: You can sense that Vera is gradually becoming more convinced of what you say."
…
"For the first time, you have used 'glib tongue' to deceive a woman. You have achieved a new milestone: scumbag."
"Scumbag: Such a flexible tongue is used in these places? It should have more serious uses."
"Corresponding title: Deceiver (your Bluff skill +20)"
…
After a round of narration without distinguishing the main points from the secondary ones.
Vera asked casually:
"Do you know where the most dangerous place in this forest is?"
Roger said decisively:
"certainly."
Vera was surprised:
"Really? Can you take me there?"
Roger hesitated and said:
"But that place... is too dangerous."
Vera kept pestering him for a while.
Roger suppressed his nausea and finally agreed reluctantly.
Now.
The two of them stayed sweetly together for a while.
Vera arranged a separate tree house for Roger.
Then he left with a shy expression.
…
The top of a giant tree.
Vera opened the door of the tree house with an expressionless face.
At this moment.
A cold voice came to her ear:
"Your performance just now made me sick.
If I hadn't, I would have cut out the stomach and intestines long ago.
I'm afraid I'm going to vomit shit right now."
He was a man shrouded in shadows.
“You have no business asking me to explain my affairs, Yorick.”
Vera's voice was indescribably cold.
"If you were better at finding clues, I wouldn't have to be so intimate with a wild man."
"You can definitely use magic to solve the problem."
Yorick sneered:
"Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. I'm following Lord Weilan's orders to monitor you. I hope you don't have any messy thoughts."
Finish saying this.
The shadow gradually disappeared into the darkness.
Vera closed the door of the tree house silently.
Then she walked quickly to the window.
There.
There is a floor-to-ceiling mirror that is as tall as a person.
Vera stood in front of the mirror and began to undress.
at the same time.
Her right hand gently brushed across her forehead.
After a while, she had a crown of golden hair in her hand.
Woman in the mirror.
No hair or beard.
Her originally fair skin was now covered with raised blue-black scars!
Her eyes were full of determination.
After a moment.
She changed into her pajamas and opened a gilded invitation.
Vera began writing rapidly on it with a strange quill pen—
…
"To Mr. Huang Zong, the Right Hand of Asgard:
I have found the clue to the Golden Room.
Please tell me the secret of wielding the holy sword.
And how to kill my father, Veran
…
Your most loyal follower - Vera"
…
The next moment.
Roger suddenly realized that his invitation to the virtual world had become hot!
…
