Chapter 74 New Thugs!
From the uninhabited desert to the east, across the boundless Gobi, into the fortress surrounded by mountains.
A young man in battered armor travels alone, having just finished a fight and taking out an ogre wandering nearby. At this moment, he was wiping the blood on the sword, then put his saber into the scabbard, and walked towards the fortress surrounded by mountains in front of him. The fortress is built on the mountainside, and it is undoubtedly very time-consuming and energy-consuming to establish such an environment at such a height. It seems to have a very long history here, and you can feel the vicissitudes of the fort just by looking at it.
There are still some black marks on the wall, which are the blood that seeped into the rock, and finally became what it is now.
The young man took a deep breath, and then slowly stepped into the fortress. No one else seemed to be surprised at his arrival, and no one stopped him from entering, so he walked all the way to the center of the fortress hall. There are six marble pillars in the hall, and there are almost no other decorations. There are some relief paintings on the walls, which looks quite empty. Sitting on the long table in the front was a rather burly man with a standard Chinese character face, heroic hair, clean short hair, thick eyebrows, and quite sharp eyes.
This man was wearing heavy armor and had a two-handed epee by his knees. When he heard the footsteps of other people entering, he couldn't help but slightly raised his head and put down the quill in his hand. There were piles of books in front of him, almost one meter thick in total, and many of them were flipped over and put aside. It looked like he'd been sitting here for a long time, with his lunch next to him, just plain bread and soup.
"You came."
The burly man stood up. He was probably more than two meters tall, much taller than the young man in front of him. He put down the quill in his hand. He also put down the scroll in his hand, and stared at the young man in front of him with sharp and heroic eyes. The years did not leave too many traces on his face, but the resolute face like a knife and ax can still make others feel To the traces of the years he has experienced. This is a professional above legend, his bloodline has been transformed by powerful power, and his lifespan is much longer than that of ordinary people.
The young man got down on one knee. He humbly lowered his head, put his hands on the top of the sword hilt, and said in a deep voice, "Your Excellency the Judge!..."
The burly man didn't answer, he just quietly watched the young man in front of him.
After a while, he walked down slowly, came to the former paladin, and drew out his sharp sword with a clang. Then he put the blade on his shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Since you are qualified to come to me, it proves that you have passed all the previous tests! I don't know what you have experienced along the way, what you have encountered , What did you see? Or understand something. None of this is important to me, the important thing is that you have to learn to look at the world from another perspective from today on!"
"Now."
"I'm going to teach you your first lesson!"
The burly man picked up a heavy legal code and handed it to the young man in front of him. He said forcefully, "Justice! Either by force or by law!!!..."
"Start today. You follow me to study the codes of the whole continent!... Wait until you have learned all the laws, and I will tell you how the judge should use force to find justice!...Young man! You have to remember one thing. Force It is always the last solution!... You must learn to use your wisdom before using force, and the law is also our most effective weapon, even if the law requires us to use force to maintain it in the end!..."
Judge.
A former paladin who is almost forgotten by history, many people have completely forgotten this legendary paladin. However, if Sauron was present, he could recognize that the burly man in front of him was a stronger and more special existence than the Silver Hand. Not many people still remember his past, but Sauron knows that he is one of the few legendary professionals in the whole world who is capable of confronting powerful gods head-on, and he is also the only paladin who dares to draw his sword against the [Lord of Radiance]!

city of fortune.
In a dark basement, a woman wearing a grimace mask frowned, and coldly shouted at the other people below: "What? The lucky gold coins were taken away? You incompetent waste! Hurry up and find them for me." return!"
The angry voice was like a cold wind blowing, causing the others below to tremble. One of the men couldn't help but emboldened, and whispered: "Your Excellency, calm down!...According to the prophecy, the twelve Only by collecting all the lucky gold coins can we unlock the secrets of that place!... We still have time, we must get the lucky gold coins back in time!..."
The woman wearing a grimace mask gave him a cold look, and said slowly: "I'll give you half a year, if you still can't get back the lucky gold coins after half a year, then you can talk to His Excellency the Saint yourself. "
Lucky coins.
A legendary special item said to bring good luck.
There are a total of twelve such lucky gold coins. The oldest goddess of luck is engraved on the front, not the current goddess of luck. Twelve astrological signs are engraved on the back, representing different meanings. There are very few records about lucky gold coins, just know that they can bring good luck, but there is also a special legend, that is, after collecting all twelve lucky gold coins, you can find the thirteenth gold coin representing misfortune and bad luck .
This is a very ancient artifact!
It can even be used to curse the gods. It was an artifact made by the goddess of luck to protect herself.

overseas islands.
For the appearance of the drow warrior, Sauron didn't have much joy on his face.
Because the other party arrived much later than he expected, according to his original plan, the drow elves should have arrived before he set off for the overseas islands, instead of waiting until he had already established a camp in the overseas islands. A group of drow warriors appeared in the distance. Although the equipment they wore was a bit worn out, they had a strong aura. There were only thirty-one drow warriors, but their neat steps and cold eyes were more impressive than the drow warriors. Hundreds of pirates are even more shocking.
These drow warriors are easily reminiscent of the elf army in the Lord of the Rings. Among the warriors of many races, the discipline of the elves is the best, and among all the elves, the rule of the drow army is the most cruel and ruthless. The training time of an elf warrior is quite long, which is far more time-consuming than fighters of other races, so in terms of quality in all aspects, the elf army is one of the best. As for the drow warriors, it is even stricter, and the training they receive far surpasses other similar ones.
All are professionals above Tier 3!
Sauron just glanced at the drow warriors in front of him, and deduced that their abilities were almost all at the level of small pirate bosses. This kind of combat power can be used as a patrol captain in surface cities, but it can only be used as a relatively elite patrol guard in the dark region, and he is not even qualified to apply for a petrified lizard knight. It seemed that their group had weakened a lot, and Sauron hadn't been able to see many fourth-rank drow warriors.
You must know that the strict standard for drow warriors in the dark region is occupation level 15.
"Your Mightiness."
The leading drow warrior seemed to intend to show his strength. He stopped and turned around, and the drow warriors behind him also turned around neatly at the same time. There was no movement during the period, and everyone seemed to be a whole. This seemed very shocking and oppressive to those pirates, but it was normal for Sauron, because the discipline of military parades in his previous life was a child's play, and his combat effectiveness might not be comparable to these drow warriors, but he saw it in the formation. Even more shocking.
Sauron nodded calmly, and said slowly: "The others stay outside, you come in with me."
"I happen to have something to talk to you about!"
These drow warriors came at the right time, and Sauron just needed such a group of thugs.
