Chapter 70
The city of Arendt, the only city-state in the Count of Arendt.
The layout is similar to Ridden City, with high city walls made of large bluestones, long narrow streets, rows of small Gothic buildings, towering bell towers, etc. .
It belongs to the Lambert family, and the territory is rich in various gems, so it is also called the Bao Shi Family.
Walking on the pavement paved with small stone bricks, Heath secretly thought about how to get this soul gem over.
The easiest way is undoubtedly to find the Lambert family directly, to show the identity of the wizard through the most direct transaction, I believe that no matter what treasures to take away is not difficult.
But this involves a problem.
Heath's out-of-office mission is not a mission like Ridden City. According to the rules, he does not have the authority to do business with mortals here.
If it's not something he has to do, Heath still doesn't want to break the rules. It's one thing whether things are big or not, but the point is that it's a taboo.
Wizards hate breaking the rules.
"So, only Ming Robber? Stealing? Two plans." Heath thought about it.
Normal transactions do not comply with the rules, but stealing is within the rules.
Although weird, this is the situation.
"Forget it, let's get the news first, even if you want to grab some good or bad, first figure out where the gems are."
Thinking about this, Heath wandered the streets. After a lap, he quickly targeted a pub on the street.
The tavern is the most extensive place for this World’s information channels.
Pushing open the wooden door, Heath walked into this tavern called'Warrior's Sword'.
At this moment, it is right at dusk, when the tavern is the busiest time, the common people who have been busy all day will come to the tavern at this time, drink two glasses of rye and eat two pieces of bacon. Bragging about all kinds of messy anecdotes.
The sound of the collision of oak cups, the vulgar swearing, the noise, all kinds of sounds resounded endlessly.
The smell of sweat, wine, and broth mixed into a strange smell and filled the air.
Heath came to the bar, sat down on the high stool, took out a Gold Coin and put it on the table, straight to the point said: "A glass of wheat wine, and I want to inquire about something. "
The tavern boss is a middle-aged man wearing a brown vest, with shrewd rays of light in his eyes.
After seeing Heath's Gold Coin buttoned on the table, his face quickly put on the most enthusiastic smile: "Of course, this strange guest, the warrior's sword is Arendt the most intelligent No matter what you want to know, you can get the answer here."
While speaking, he shouted at the barely dressed maid not far away: "Benice, give this The guests came up with a barley of wheat wine and fine wheat."
The maid quickly brought a big oak cup full of liquor, and Heath took a sip.
Although this wheat wine is not as sweet as the fruit wine of the wizard, and not as fragrant as the wine in the noble estate, it also has a unique taste.
It's a bit astringent, a bit pungent, and has a smell of earth.
After a sip, my throat is hot, but afterwards I feel extra comfortable. To describe it appropriately, it is painful and happy.
It's like a true portrayal of the workers in this World.
While tasting the wheat wine in the glass, Heath asked, "I heard that Earl Lambert found a strange gem near Goddess Lake a few years ago. I want to know everything about it. "
The tavern boss spoke enthusiastically: "Yes, Goddess's blessing, Arendt's most beautiful gem, Goddess's gift to the brave Lambert, everyone here is well known for it. .."
From the tavern boss, Heath got detailed information about soul gems.
Just as Kuisiqi said, after the lord here found the soul gem, he arched it as a treasure, and hired a craftsman to make it into a necklace, named Goddess blessing of.
It is said that there will be this name because Earl Lambert is a nephew, and the old Earl Lambert has no heirs, so he chose one in his nephew's generation.
The succession of Earl Lambert at the time was not too high, but because he picked up this soul gem, he attracted the attention of the old Earl Lambert, and he was determined to be the heir.
After listening to the introduction, Heath said: "Such a baby, the Lambert family must guard it strictly, right?"
The tavern boss half-jokingly said: "What? Your Excellency is going to steal it. Take the blessing of Goddess? Although everyone in the city wants to watch the big news, I think you better not do this."
"No one knows where the blessing of Goddess was placed by Count Lambert. Many well-known thieves have visited Arendt over the years, but they have found nothing, but put their heads on the city wall." Heath thought about it when he heard what the Boss said.
It seems that we can only start from Count Lambert, first tie up the nobleman...
But this is a big problem.
According to the rules, although he can do evil, he cannot use the power of the wizard, otherwise he will break the rules.
If you don’t use the power of the wizard, he is just a high level Knight. This is going to kidnap an earl-level nobleman, fearing that the degree of difficulty can be imagined...
'What happened? I'm still in trouble...'
Just when Heath was in distress, the tavern boss suddenly said: "So, if you want a necklace, you should try to beat the competitors in the ring. The evil ways of the wrong door will not work. It's."
Heath looked towards the Tavern Boss in confusion, didn't understand what he said.
The tavern boss pointed to the cross sword worn by Heath's waist, and asked in confusion: "What? Didn't you come here for the tournament?"
Heath shakes He shook his head and said: "No."
Now it's the tavern boss's turn to be surprised: "Then you still inquire about Goddess's blessing?"
He has an expression of seeing a ghost, The corners of his mouth twitched twice: "Should... Maybe you really want to make a crooked idea..."
Heath stopped the tavern boss from continuing to associate.
He took out a Gold Coin again and buckled it on the wooden table: "Tell me, is there any connection between this tournament and the necklace?"
When I saw Gold Coin, Boss looked at him. The doubts disappeared.
Whether he is good or bad, Gold Coin is enough anyway.
He explained: "Every three years in the autumn, the Lambert family will hold a competition in Altrun when the maple leaves are red, do you know?"
Heath nodded.
The Arendt Tournament, which is a very famous event in the Kingdom of Hiran and even the sixteen countries in the forest. He has read it in the library.
The Tavern Boss continued: "Every time at this time, the Lambert family will carefully select a good gemstone and make it into a necklace, which will be given to the champion warrior."
"And this year's champion necklace is the blessing of Goddess."
Heath was surprised: "Such an important necklace, the Lambert family is willing?"
The tavern boss said: "Treasure The Shi Family only produces gems and does not collect gems. Even the most beautiful gems in the world are not allowed to remain in their hands for more than five years. This has been passed down from generation to generation since the establishment of their family."
"This year is the fifth year that Earl Lambert has been blessed by Goddess."
Heath suddenly realized.
Looking at it this way... things... seem to be easier?
Heath immediately said: "How do I register for this competition?"
