Although she had been hesitant when everyone talked about it yesterday, the druid girl Doric was kind-hearted after all. Therefore, early the next morning, she resolutely went with Edkin and Simon
Say goodbye to Holgai and the other three, and prepare to set off to Leilong Town and the Swamp of the Dead to find out.
After all, she herself was raised by the wood elves in the Neverwinter Forest. Without those kind-hearted wood elves, she, a tiefling abandoned baby, would have starved to death long ago! And if Neverwinter City was destroyed by the evil Sel wizard
If so, under the cold weather, the Neverwinter Forest and the Wood Elves, which are under the rule of Neverwinter City, will certainly not be able to preserve their home in the forest. Therefore, Doric must protect her both in public and private matters.
Go there and find out as much as possible about the conspiracy against Neverwinter.
"Then, shall I set off first?"
"Simon!"
"You actually don't need to go to the intersection fortress to provide support. I'm sure it will be fine!"
"It will only take two or three days at most before I can return to Neverwinter City. Maybe you won't be able to get to the fortress by then!"
"never mind."
"That's it, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, Doric felt that he might not be able to persuade Simon, nor could he change some of Edkin's arrangements, so he simply said no more, just jumped up to the high wall of the castle, and then finally turned back
After taking a look, and then under the exclamations of everyone and the Neverwinter guards on duty around him, he opened his hands and jumped down towards the streets of Neverwinter City below.
Then!
Just before she was about to land on the ground and be thrown into a puddle of flesh, she suddenly twisted around and transformed into a swift in full view of the public. She fluttered her wings and flew high, causing the sound of wind and soft cries from her wings to break through.
It broke into the silent sky and flew south at high speed with lightning speed.
Such a situation naturally caused the Neverwinter guards on the castle and the Neverwinter citizens below who noticed the situation to exclaim again and cast admiring glances at the 'Swift' that left at high speed.
look.
But Doric didn't care about the situation in Neverwinter City behind her. After just a few flapping movements, she quickly flew away from the outer wall of Neverwinter City and the busy city at an extremely fast speed.
pier area, and began flying at high speed hundreds of meters in the air.
The territory of Neverwinter City is not large, so of course it is not far from Leilong Town.
The straight-line distance is about three to five hundred miles. If you ride a horse and the horse is fast, you can probably reach it in one day. If you march on foot, no matter how slow it is, it will only take three or four days. However, Doric is currently flying.
It will take only two to three hours at most.
Therefore, what she just said was not an excuse. She was indeed confident that she would complete all the tasks within two or three days and return to report the situation, especially since that guy Genk still had that particularly conspicuous 'fat orange' with him.
Next, as long as they don't run into the dungeon, she guarantees that she can find them by just flying around the Swamp of the Dead!
However……
When Doric flew away from the city of Neverwinter and flew south along the coast of the Sword Coast for less than half an hour, she was only a few dozen miles away.
Suddenly, there was a sharp roar and the sound of wind.
Next!
A powerful eagle unexpectedly appeared in the sky behind her at some point, and swooped down from above. At the same time, the opponent's sharp claws were viciously aimed at Doric's body.
The back of that swift was scratched off?
"?!"
Fortunately, Doric is not a real swift, so of course she will not be afraid of that mere raptor!
You know, the reason why she chose to become a swift is just because swifts fly faster. She can transform into something else at any time as long as she needs it.
so!
After the initial panic and accident, she quickly turned around and transformed into a strong owlbear in the air before the opponent's sharp claws could actually catch her.
She grabbed the steel-like claws of the eagle that wanted to hunt her, and held it tightly in the claws of the owlbear she had transformed into.
‘!!’
Upon seeing this, the huge eagle was naturally surprised and frightened, and began to struggle and flap its wings vigorously in an attempt to get away.
It's a pity that although the huge mountain eagle is said to be able to hunt wild wolves, foxes, goats and even deer, the size and weight of the Doric-transformed hero is still a bit too big and heavy.
That pair of wings definitely couldn't support each other's weight.
Therefore, after two giant birds (owl bears?) fought and struggled in the air, they finally continued to lower their altitude until they both fell into the sea.
"..."
The hero Doric transformed into fell into the sea with the other party, sinking deeper and deeper on both sides. After feeling that the surrounding water pressure made it impossible for her to breathe freely, and after feeling that the lesson she had given to the giant eagle was enough, she
He quickly let go of the opponent, transformed into a dolphin, started swimming at high speed and rushed to the sea.
To be honest, she herself didn't know why that giant raptor would suddenly attack the petrel she had turned into, which had only a few ounces of meat on its body. That was a very, very rare phenomenon, but it wouldn't be a good idea if it happened to her.
There was too much entanglement, so I just swam forward with all my strength, preparing to jump out of the sea with all my strength and continue to fly southward into a swift or a seagull or something.
However, just as she was swimming at high speed, she was about to reach the swaying sea surface and was about to speed up and jump into the air.
Very unexpected!
She actually saw a huge tentacle quickly stretching out from the sea behind her?
"??"
Then, the huge octopus tentacles tightly wrapped around her without giving her any chance to react, dragging the dolphin she had transformed into again, and soon dragged her to where she and the giant octopus were just now.
The eagle fell into the deep sea at least tens of meters deep?
"!!"
Only then did Doric see clearly. It turned out that it was a huge and terrifying phosphorescent beast?
However, what she couldn't figure out was that when she and the giant eagle fell down, they didn't see such a huge creature here, so why did it suddenly appear?
And that’s it!
The giant eagle that attacked her just now seemed to have disappeared, and she didn't know whether it had surfaced and fluttered away again or whether it had been swallowed up by the opponent.
But no matter what, Doric only knew that she had to get out of trouble quickly, otherwise, her end would probably not be too good.
then!
Before the huge sea beast could roll up the dolphin she transformed into and send it into the huge mouth full of ferocious teeth, she quickly transformed into a smaller tuna, and took advantage of the opponent's original appearance.
Taking advantage of the moment when his huge tentacles became loose, he hurriedly took the opportunity to shake his head and tail and quickly jumped forward. Taking advantage of the tuna's speed, he quickly escaped a long distance.
"..."
so close!
After getting out of danger, Doric sighed secretly.
To be honest, she herself didn't know why she was so unlucky today. First, not far from Neverwinter City, she encountered a giant raptor in the sky that rarely attacked small swifts. Then, she encountered that kind of bird again when she got into the sea.
The terrifying large sea beast, it’s true that misfortunes never come singly!
Then, she couldn't help but start to reflect, wondering if she shouldn't agree to Edkin's request this time?
After all, she was not an official of Neverwinter City, but now she was asked to take risks and do such dangerous things. If you think about it carefully, it was indeed a bit excessive.
"??"
However, just as he had taken the opportunity to swim a long distance and was about to escape, Doric saw in horror:
In the sea above her, a long tentacle unexpectedly appeared above her tuna that was jumping forward quickly?
The next moment!
Before she could make any reaction, the terrifying tentacle cut through the water and drew directly towards her.
"!!"
At that moment, Doric's head was hit hard.
Then, she felt dizzy for a moment, and then she could no longer maintain the druid transformation. She curled up and slowly transformed back into her delicate tiefling body and allowed the ferocious sea beast to use its tentacles.
He rolled up her body and pulled her back again.
"..."
There is no doubt that that blow directly knocked Doric's brain into confusion.
Anyway!
In a daze, all she could see with her half-opened eyes was: the extremely ferocious, octopus-like phosphorescent tide beast started to pull her hard into its huge mouth again.
The rest of the tentacles slowly reached into her collar and pants, and after some groping, they quickly tore off all the clothes on her body in the sea water?
Then, in the midst of Doric's frightened and confused despair, the other party just threw her smooth body, with horns on her head and a tail behind her butt, into the horror full of sharp teeth.
In the huge mouth.
"..."
Just like that, floating in the sea and slowly moving towards the ferocious mouth, Doric, who was weak and defenseless, knew that she had no way to escape and had no ability to resist. She was afraid that this would be the case today.
Inexplicably, he was buried at the bottom of the sea, buried in the huge mouth of the sea beast.
At this moment, Doric regretted a little.
Because, she suddenly felt that if she did not insist on setting off first by herself, but instead went with Simon and the hundreds of Neverwinter guards along the main road to the intersection fortress, and then she went to Leilong Town and the Swamp of the Dead, it would definitely be
There must be no such unreasonable disaster as the current one, right?
However, it's too late to think about anything now.
At this time, in this environment, tens or hundreds of meters below the surface of the sea, there is definitely no suspense.
So, after thinking about it, Doric gave up all hope and resistance as the last string of bubbles popped out of her mouth, and just watched her body slowly float to the huge seawater.
In the terrifying maw of the sea monster.
Sudden!
Just when he saw that the terrifying and ferocious giant mouth full of sharp teeth was about to close immediately and chew him up whole, something even more unexpected happened to Doric:
Just when she was despairing, strangely enough, the terrifying octopus and sea beast, the phosphorescent tide beast, did not bite her directly and eat her in one bite. Instead, it quickly shrunk in size, just like the druids.
Like when you transform?
"Gulu gulu..."
(*`)
Then, the other party directly turned into a terrible little girl, and the other party was still in the sea, making faces at her in front of her?
"!!"
Seeing this, Doric was stunned and didn't know what was happening?
It turns out...
The giant eagle at the beginning and the phosphorescent tide beast just now were actually transformed from each other?
So, anger, shock, confusion and shame all came to her. Before she had time to do or say anything, she felt a sense of suffocation. Then she rolled her eyes and immediately
So smooth and smooth floating in the sea water and passed out gorgeously.
…
"Hey! Hey!"
(^▽^)
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"..."
I don’t know how long it took, first there was an impatient shout from a little girl, and then there were the sounds of several consecutive slaps. Doric finally regained a little bit of consciousness and opened his eyes with effort.
"Sister Doric!"
ヾ(▽)ノ
"You woke up, are you okay?"
(-)
After a few slaps and successfully awakening Doric, Anne nodded with satisfaction, and then sat back down by the bonfire with a playful smile.
"..."
In this way, when Doric woke up slowly, she discovered at a glance that she seemed to have arrived on the shore, and it was a small rocky island not far from the coast?
At the same time, she also discovered that the person sitting in front of her, rowing the bonfire, was not Annie, that troublesome little guy who was looking at her with a smile and making faces. Who was it?
"ah!"
"O great god of nature!"
He raised his upper body with difficulty and saw that it was already dark. He saw that his body was still smooth and clean and only covered with a blanket. After knowing that everything he experienced before coma was not an illusion, Doric began to wail in grief and indignation.
He let out a sound, then continued to lie back and started panting rapidly.
"Annie..."
"You naughty boy!"
"What have you done?!"
Then, Doric stretched out his white arms from the blanket angrily, covered his forehead, and began to lament and rant.
"Ouch!"
(*^▽^*)
"I just want to play a joke on you!"
(゜▽＾*)
It's a pity that in the face of Doric's angry rebuke, Anne didn't take it to heart at all, and she didn't feel ashamed at all. She just continued to smile playfully, not caring about her joke in Doric's opinion.
How bad it is.
"Who knew you were so unafraid?"
╮(╯▽╰)╭
Immediately afterwards, of course, Anne immediately slapped him down and placed all the blame on the other party.
Anyway, she never thought it was anything. After all, it was really just a joke, a prank, and she would definitely have some sense of proportion.
Of course, it doesn't matter even if she accidentally kills him because of her carelessness. Anyway, she has many ways to save the opponent, and she doesn't need that kind of inexplicable sign, so naturally, it's not a big deal.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"you!"
"never mind……"
Looking at Anne's pretty face that was still smiling and still a little fat, Doric, knowing that talking more was useless, finally closed his mouth angrily.
"Next time you do this again, I won't let you go easily."
However, she couldn't help but secretly swear that if she had a chance next time, she would definitely go back for revenge and let the bad kid in front of her know how powerful she was?
Just like...
When she returns to Neverwinter another day, can she turn into a snake and crawl into the other person's bed?
"etc!"
"its not right!
"Aren't you a mage?"
"When will the mage know the druid's natural transformation technique?"
Finally, Doric remembered what had just happened, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She hurriedly sat up and ignored her leaked lust. She stared at Anne with wide eyes, exclaimed and asked in a sharp voice.
.
"wrong!"
()
"That's not a druid's spell!"
(*'▽'*)
"That's magic!"
(*︶*):*
Annie didn't even think about it and corrected her directly.
You know, when she was playing as the 'Fire Immortal' in Cuiping Mountain, she had seen all kinds of magic and spells, and she could learn most of them at a glance. Of course, those messy and awkward ones were also included.
'Thirty-six Transformations of Tiangang' and 'Seventy-two Transformations of Earthly Evil' etc.
And those tricks that are almost common in the fairy world, simple transformation techniques that can be understood at a glance, will definitely not be difficult for Queen Anne.
"Magic?"
"What is magic?"
Doric was startled and a little confused.
"Don't try to lie to me!"
"I saw!"
"That's obviously the druid's art of transformation!!"
Doric didn't believe it.
Because in her opinion, turning into a giant eagle and then into a sea beast should be the natural transformation technique of their druids! Although, it seems that their druids cannot transform into a huge sea beast, but the giant
Eagle can still do it, even herself!
However, she might prefer becoming a snowy owl than a giant eagle?
"oops!"
(~)
"Whatever you think, it's the same thing anyway, it should be about the same!"
(▽｀)ノ
Anne was too lazy to argue with the other party on such unimportant matters, so she just waved her hand and impatiently ignored the matter.
"correct!"
L(o)
"I haven't asked you yet, where are you going?"
(^0^)/
Then, Annie hurriedly asked.
The situation at that time was: she had been playing outside for a night and was about to go back to her Neverwinter Castle to catch up on her sleep. Then, she actually saw the other party flying away from Neverwinter City and flying south in a hurry. Seeing this
, she was curious and of course she quickly followed him, and got a little impatient on the way, so she turned into a hawk and wanted to tease the other person, but in the end, she didn't stop for a moment, almost killed someone, and had to take him with her.
He followed the other party here and stayed there until dark.
Naturally, Queen Anne must not have been standing guard all the time. She also had a good sleep during the day, and when she woke up and saw it was dark, she saw that the other party was not awake yet, so she opened her mouth and slapped him with her little slap.
Wake up the other person.
(…)
(●￣￣●)
"You don't know?"
"O God of nature!"
"You are obviously the Queen of Neverwinter, but you don't even know this, and you still have the nerve to ask me?"
Hearing this, Doric covered his forehead, not knowing what to say.
But she had already seen Annie's various unreliable and ridiculous behaviors, and she quickly recovered, and related the matter she discussed with Edkin and others yesterday, as well as the story between Paladin Henk and Fat Orange so far.
Weigui and the reason why she planned to go to Leilong Town and the Swamp of the Dead to see what happened were revealed.
"Alas!"
Σ(дllll)
Now, it was Anne's turn to be surprised.
Because even she didn't expect that what the other party was going to do was similar to something she had already done?
"??"
"Why did you react like that?"
"What's wrong?"
Seeing this, Doric couldn't help but feel a little strange and asked aloud.
"nothing……"
()
"I just accidentally forgot about Uncle Henk. It's nothing!"
()hey-hey!
"By the way! Do you want something to eat?"
ヾ(=ω=)o
Anne didn't want to talk more, so she quickly changed the topic and prepared to have a casual chat with the other party, such as what to eat for dinner.
"you!"
"Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. I don't want to care about you anymore!"
Then, Doric wanted to stand up and move her aching body, but when she realized that she was still smooth, she hurriedly wrapped herself in a blanket and sat down again and asked carefully:
"correct!"
"Do you have any clothes?"
"You took away all my clothes and belongings!!"
"I still have to hurry!"
Although she didn't have to worry too much about her clothes after the transformation, she couldn't always maintain the transformed state and go to Leilong Town and the Swamp of the Dead to investigate.
"Of course!"
(^▽^)
"But Sister Doric, do you think you should rest for one night before setting off?"
☆(o*ω)Here!
"There's no point in being anxious now, right?"
(-)
Anne would not tell the other party that she had entrusted an adventure team whose name she had forgotten to handle that matter. Therefore, even if Miss Doric in front of her delayed it for two days, it would definitely be fine. Anyway, she felt that the problem should not be
big?
(…)
(●￣￣●)
(Yes, Tibbers agrees with this. Because, no matter what it is, let alone Neverwinter, even if the world is destroyed, it will not be a big problem for some bad little master!)
"this……"
"All right!"
"Then let's rest for a night first!"
He hesitantly took the clothes that Anne handed over, and then thought about it for a while, feeling that it was not a good idea to rush out at night. In addition, he was feeling weak and weak. In the end, Doric had to sigh and agreed, and was ready to go first.
Rest here for one night and start again early tomorrow morning.
"It's all your fault!"
Then, after agreeing, Doric naturally glared at Anne bitterly.
At that time, she was in despair and felt that she was definitely dead, but how could she have imagined that it was this terrible little girl in front of her who did everything?
Furthermore, she still doesn't understand that Anne is obviously a mage. Even if it is an archmage, even if it is the most, most, most, most, most... the most powerful arcane archmage, it should be...
It was true that he didn't know how to transform into a druid, but in the end, he still knew how to do it.
She couldn't understand that kind of thing no matter how much she thought about it.
