Laing lifted the iron block that weighed hundreds of kilograms high up in the air. The Holy Grail Knight swaggered through the streets with the iron block in his hands, attracting the attention and admiration of the citizens.
Laing knew very well that he could not play tricks or take shortcuts with the dwarves. If he wanted to gain the dwarves' trust, he could only do it the way he wanted.
In many novels, the male protagonists either relied on tricks or cheats when facing tests. However, most of the time, the authors thought that they were clever. Did they really think that only the protagonists understood and everyone else was stupid?
The dwarves did not buy it. They might not understand how the humans cheated, but they would know that the humans cheated. Even if they really completed their request, the humans would not gain their trust.
Just as Laing carried the iron block across the paved road and walked towards the end of the street, in a carriage covered with dark black velvet, a hoarse voice and a young voice continued to whisper, "Can you defeat him now?"
"I can't do it, my godfather. He's the champion of that bitch's Chosen of God. He's at least at the advanced Legend rank, and there's a terrifying energy surrounding him. I don't know what it is, but he's very dangerous." The young voice said.
In the dark carriage, two people in black robes completely covered themselves. Only a pair of blue eyes could be seen from the young voice.
The hoarse and shriveled figure had no eyes. Only the soul fire burning in the hollow eye sockets could be seen.
After listening to the young man's words, the hoarse voice let out a long sigh. Waves of dark and gloomy white smoke spewed out from under his mask, and then dissipated into nothingness. "Then our plan will have to change a little. It's not good for us to deal with a Chosen One champion and a Sanctum Chosen One at the same time."
The young voice continued, "My Godfather, you are so powerful that even all the tomb priests under Seth are no match for you. Why do you have to capture the Lake Goddess Witch? She is weaker than you, so why should we take the risk to sneak in here? "
The shriveled figure slowly nodded. "Hah, yes, Morgiana, a Sky and Life Sanctuary Wizard, the first Chosen of the Bitch of the Lake. Even with the help of the Bitch of the Lake, she is still no match for me. However, in order to revive my Lord, we need enough sacrifices."
"Nine books, corresponding to nine offerings. Then, we also need my lord's staff, my lord's sword, and my lord's armor. That way, the Lord of the Undead, who once made the entire world tremble, will return to the world."
"A piece of good news. Due to the disturbance caused by the double-tailed comet, the ritual that originally required nine scrolls now only requires five scrolls and five offerings to begin the ritual to summon our Lord back. However, we still need as many offerings as possible. The more offerings there are, the stronger our Lord will become."
"We have already captured the Bishop of the God of Nature, the Chosen of the Goddess of Mercy, the Chosen of the Goddess of Mercy, and the Archbishop of the God of Theft, Ronald. We have already collected three of the nine offerings."
"However, the three most important offerings are the Eternal Queen of the High Elves, the Archbishop of the Church of Justice, Vickmar Beckman, and the Lake Goddess Witch, Morgiana. We need at least two of them. They are qualified carriers and reservoirs of divine power and magic power."
The carriage began to move away from the crowded streets. It was too noisy here.
The black carriage rumbled as it moved forward. The wooden wheels kept spinning, and the whispers in the carriage continued.
"Morgiana is no match for me, but it is not easy to take her down quickly. We are both sacred wizards, and I will not be able to defeat her in a short time. As long as we have enough time, the knights of this kingdom will come to our aid. By then, the Lake Goddess Witch will be prepared, and it will be difficult to capture her." The hoarse voice continued, "That is why we need some skills."
"First of all, she has been cursed by me. The terrible dreams and dark prying have weakened her magic power and suppressed her spirit. She will not be able to use all her abilities in battle."
"Morgiana has three items that were blessed by the Bitch of the Lake. They are the Holy Grail of Potion, the Golden Belt, and the Mirror of Morgiana."
"The Holy Grail of Potion can help her store the Wind of Magic and release powerful lightning spells."
"The magic circle on the Golden Belt can protect Morgiana from being hurt by swords and knives."
"The Mirror of Morgiana can help her identify the Chaos Demons or blood-sucking creatures that are disguised as humans."
The young voice seemed to have understood something. "No wonder. With so many items protecting her, the Lake Goddess Witch is indeed a difficult opponent."
"My godson, we need patience."
"Let us destroy the Lake Goddess Witch's defense bit by bit, and then lure her out from the protection of the Holy Grail Knight."
"There's another piece of good news. A Dryad is willing to make a deal with us. Heh ~ A Dryad that has gone mad. The severe corruption of Chaos has caused it to lose its rationality. We might be able to use it to speed up our plan."
"Leave the matter of capturing the Lake Goddess Witch to me, my godson. Your goal is to find a way to enter Bereon and retrieve one of the nine volumes. Then, let us overthrow this kingdom built on hypocrisy and lies!"
… …
After witnessing Laing carrying a large iron block that weighed hundreds of pounds from the street to the end of the street, the dwarf craftsman also confirmed that Laing was indeed relying on his own strength. He patted his chest with satisfaction. "Oh, that's really good. Now I believe that you are a younger brother, the younger brother of Angran."
"… Then what do you think?" Laing put the large iron block that weighed hundreds of pounds in the blacksmith's shop, then clapped his hands calmly. "Can we continue?"
"Oh, of course, I like straightforward and strong humans like you. I hate those pointy-eared people the most. I can't understand whether they agree or disagree." Deron Fienson stroked his big beard and nodded repeatedly. "I have actually stayed in this place for a long time. Those tax officers and those damn pointy-eared people have been bothering me all day long. If you are willing to give the entire workshop to me and give me a discount, then I am willing to take a look. Now, tell me your conditions, Holy Grail Knight."
"Very well. Let us discuss the treatment, Bearded One."
After a brief discussion of the conditions, Laing could clearly feel that the dwarf rune craftsman did not have a good life in Bordero, because the high elves were obviously oppressing and rejecting him.
The port of Bordero was harassed by the dark elves all year round, so the high elves were naturally close to Duke Bodrick of Bordero. The principle that the enemy of an enemy was a friend was universal … or at least, it was universal among the races of Order.
The high elves hated the dwarves with long beards, and the dwarves hated the pointy-eared ones. Brittany was different from the Empire. The covenant between the Empire and the Supreme King of the Dwarves had a history of more than a thousand years or even longer. The sacredness of the covenant could only be compared to the Eternal Blood Oath. Because of this, the Empire was more willing to be close to the dwarves. Any dwarf who opened a shop in the Empire would be welcomed and treated well.
There was no friendship between the Brittany and the dwarves. Usually, both sides could get along well, but the dwarves were obviously biased towards the Empire. The most typical example was when the Empire and Brittany went to war near Marlinburg two years ago. The dwarves of Breezy Castle in the Gray Mountains directly closed all the roads under their control and refused to let anyone from the Kingdom of the Knight King pass through.
After some communication, Laing had completed his task. Deron patted his chest and promised that he would bring a few apprentices to take a look at his place in a few days. If nothing went wrong, the dwarf rune craftsman would be hired by him.
He didn't believe that the dwarf rune craftsman would be indifferent after seeing the power sword and power armor.
"Then, I'll leave the rest to you, Suria." After completing his task, Laing was in a good mood, so he smiled at the female knight who was holding his arm.
"Then let's go shopping!" Suria hugged Laing's arm tightly. She immediately took a fancy to an accessory shop.
And so, for the next few days, Laing and the other three walked around the city elegantly, admiring the spectacular buildings. Bodlius was originally one of the harbors that the elves owned when they left the old world. Even now, many of the high elven buildings could still be seen.
There was no lack of high elves on the streets. It was obvious that Duke Bordro had a good relationship with the high elves. However, the high elves' arrogance and arrogance made Laing uncomfortable.
He wasn't the ruler here, so he didn't have much to say.
"Look, Laing, this little bear is so cute!" When they arrived at an accessory store, the Duke's daughter took a fancy to a teddy bear that had been meticulously made by tailors. The teddy bear was about 50 centimeters tall, and the teddy bear was made with high-quality goat hair, simple materials, and embroidery thread. Its simple and honest expression made it look very cute.
The beautiful duke's daughter seemed to be completely unable to resist the temptation of the teddy bear. Her beautiful blue eyes were full of hearts, and she held Laing's arm with her fingers interlocked. "It's so cute."
"Greetings, esteemed Grail Knight and ladies. This is a teddy bear, carefully made by a tailor. I'm sure you've heard the story of the teddy bear?" The tailor shop owner immediately bowed and came up to them. He felt honored that a Grail Knight would come to his shop to buy things. He even felt that he could brag about it for ten years.
"Yes, we've all heard of it." The three girls nodded. Only Laing thought, I've never heard of it before.
"I can guarantee that this teddy bear is 100% hand-sewn and stuffed. Our best tailor has put in a lot of effort into it. I can guarantee that this is the best work in our tailor shop, so …" The shop owner's posture was very humble. His face was full of a philistine smile, and his waist was bent like a disabled person.
"Since Suria likes it, we'll take this teddy bear. Wrap it up!" Laing knew when to be generous, so the Grail Knight didn't hesitate to ask the owner to wrap it up.
"Alright! Alright, the original price of this teddy bear is 30 crowns. Naturally, you'll enjoy a 20% discount. The total will be 24 crowns. You can also pay in gold marks or gold denars! " The owner smiled flatteringly. At the same time, he took out a set of parchment, quill and ink. "Also, esteemed Grail Knight, can you leave your signature? We'll be very grateful. "
"Hahahahaha!" The three girls giggled. It was obvious how much the Grail Knight was worshipped in this country.
"Alright, alright." Laing took the parchment and wrote his name on it.
"Oh my god, you're Laing! Master Laing Macado, the Lady's Chosen of Providence champion!"
"I'm going to put this parchment in my shop. It'll be my shop's heirloom from now on!"
After he revealed his identity, the shop fell into chaos once more.
At this moment, a black carriage passed by the shop. This carriage gave off an unusual feeling. Not only was it completely sealed without any windows, even the body of the carriage was wrapped in black cloth.
It didn't look like a carriage at all. Instead, it looked more like a coffin.
So, Laing left the matter to Suria. "I saw someone outside. I think I know him. I'll go see if it's him."
"Oh! Alright. " The female knight didn't think too much about it and agreed. She then turned to Sylvia and Emilia and said, "Let's see if there's anything we like!"
The female knight didn't ask further, nor did she ask to go with them. She knew that Laing had his reasons for saying that.
"Alright, Sister Suria!"
