"One, two, three, four..."
Lorgar poured the Golden Dragon out of the bag on the table and carefully counted it twice. She could not help but frown.
Twenty-one.
In less than half a month, she had used up three-quarters of her savings. At this rate, she would have to return home dejectedly in a week or two, throwing all her lofty words and lofty aspirations into the quicksand.
The cost of living in a big city was too exaggerated!
Especially that Evelyn's Hundred Flavors Winery, it was simply outrageous! Even a group of robbers with knives would not be as... as...
No, that's not right. Lorgar lowered her head dejectedly and let out a whimper. Her ears also drooped down. They did not rob her openly. It was she who took out the Golden Dragon from the bag and willingly handed it over to the other party. In particular, the owner of the winery had repeatedly expressed his concern that her expenses were too high. He had tried to persuade her several times, saying that as long as she joined the Witch Union, she would be able to get a free drink every month, but she had not listened to him at all.
It was she who was defeated by her own desire.
Or rather, curiosity.
But...
She really could not be blamed for this. The Chaos Drinks were like magic. Even Chen Lu in the Artura Oasis did not taste so good. She could not even find the words to describe their taste. But without exception, each of the colors of the drinks was incomparable. The name "Hundred Flavors" was well deserved.
If it was only a single variety, even if it was the Three Gods' best wine, she was confident that she could control herself. After all, the right amount of drinks was beneficial to a warrior, but excessive drinking was tantamount to self-destruction. But the Chaos Drinks had too many variations. She always could not help but want to try what the next cup tasted like. Unconsciously, the Golden Dragon was spent like running water.
Lorgar turned her head from side to side in annoyance, rubbing her forehead against the cold table, trying to wake herself up.
No, she could not go on like this.
As long as she stayed in the city, she could not help but want to go to the tavern. To be honest, apart from the shockingly expensive drinks, it was a good place to broaden one's horizons and gather information. She found a random place to sit down, and she could hear the conversations of merchants from all over the Northern Kingdom. Unlike those traveling merchants in the Southernmost Region, most of them were of high status, and the things they talked about were quite fresh. It could be said that she benefited a lot from their conversations. Another advantage was that she could occasionally meet other witches of the same kind and learn some inside information about the Witch Union.
Unfortunately, her remaining savings did not allow her to continue waiting for an opportunity.
She had to act.
In order to overcome this desire, fighting outside the city was the most effective choice. The temporary departure from Neverwinter could make her stay away from the Variegated Wine House, and the battle could make her forget everything.
The Wolf Girl closed her eyes. She could not help but think of the long sand road.
That's right, this was definitely a challenge given to her by the Three Gods.
Thinking of this, she felt a lot more refreshed.
Patting her cheeks, Lorgar put the Golden Dragon into her bag and turned over to pack up.
She did not spend all of her time in the Variegated Wine House. First, through Ashes's help, she visited her savior, Miss Nana Pine, and learned an important piece of news: there were three witches in Neverwinter with healing abilities, namely, Nana, Lily, and Leaf. They were not owned by the great chief alone. Instead, they opened a medical center, and the local residents only needed to pay a fee to receive treatment, which was much cheaper than Chaos Drinks.
In other words, even if she did not work for the great chief, she could still get a stable treatment, which was more ideal than she had initially expected.
In addition, although Miss Nana's healing ability was the strongest, it could only take effect in person, while Lily and Leaf's abilities could be given to objects. For example, the "Special Golden Sore Medicine", which had the ability to quickly stop bleeding, was made by Miss Leaf, although Lorgar did not know what the small bottle of gray powder in her hand had to do with the Golden Dragon.
The potion made by Lily was called "Purification Potion", which looked no different from ordinary well water, but had the effect of blocking the erosion of diseases, which was in line with the word "purification". When the wound was exposed, the disease was often more likely to kill the warrior than blood loss and pain. Therefore, she naturally understood the value of this kind of medicine. If it were not for the shelf life, she would definitely buy all the potions she saw.
These two kinds of medicine could be bought in the medical center, and the price was not high relative to its function. It was undoubtedly the best guarantee for warriors to challenge higher peaks. As long as it was used properly, she was full of confidence to defeat strong enemies.
Secondly, Princess Lorgar of the Wildflame clan found that the adventure skills she had mastered in the north were not useful. There was no "Rat organization" in Neverwinter as the traveling merchants had mentioned, and the residents seemed to know nothing about demons. She asked dozens of people, and all the answers were "I don't know", which also attracted some black-clothed men to follow her.
Now, her understanding of demons was still limited to what Ashes had revealed to her and a conversation she overheard in the Baiwei Wine House: there was an abandoned city in the desert to the north of Neverwinter, and the demons seemed to have appeared there.
According to her past experience, she should not easily attack when there was such a lack of information. But now she urgently needed to get rid of the temptation of the Chaos Drinks, and at the same time, prove herself to the great chief, so she had to adapt to the situation.
Since it was a challenge, it must be full of dangers and setbacks.
She was fully prepared in her heart.
…
Out of the border of Neverwinter, Lorgar found an uninhabited dense forest, took off her clothes, transformed into a giant wolf, and then flew all the way north with her luggage in her mouth.
She did not know the specific location of the abandoned city, nor did she know whether she could encounter demons, but desert wolves had extremely sharp hearing and smell. For her, the wild was not much more dangerous than human settlements. In the past, in the Southernmost Region, she used this ability to find well-hidden opponents again and again and then destroy them.
She believed it would be the same this time.
Feeling the melted snow and mud under her feet, Lorgar even had a vague feeling that the Three Gods would guide her to meet the real enemy.
However, before she could run far, she suddenly heard a whistling sound in the air rapidly approaching.
Something was swooping down on her!
This kind of air-tearing warning was quite familiar.
In the holy duel on the Burning Platform, the Four-winged Eagle launched a surprise attack in this way. She might not have been able to dodge such a swift attack before, but now she had enough experience to deal with everything.
An excellent Sand Nation warrior would never be hit by the same attack twice!
Lorgar exerted strength on one leg and suddenly rolled to one side. At the same time, she turned her body 90 degrees so that she could see the direction of the attacker. Then she inserted her thick and powerful hind legs into the mud, her muscles were already stretched to the maximum, and her sharp claws stretched out of her flesh pads. As long as the enemy's attack missed, it would lead to a fatal counterattack —
A giant beast with the momentum of Thunder hit the place where she was originally standing, splashing a large amount of snow and water. Its broad wings were even more amazing than the Four-winged Eagle's, and the ground seemed to tremble with the impact.
At the same time, there was a cry of surprise, as if he was surprised that his attack had missed.
