Arad's Sword

Chapter 416 The Voice of the Priestess
And of all the people, it's the one with the heaviest heart.

Undoubtedly, of course it was the fuse of this matter - the black dragon priestess Galantis.

"It was my fault."

On a rock a little far from the campsite, Galantis sat in the dark like a stone statue.

This was the first sentence of the priestess when Midi came to find her on purpose.

Her pointed ears drooped listlessly, and she completely lost the arrogance of the past, and her eyes, which were always condescending with arrogance and willfulness, also lost their spirit at this moment.

"Originally, although that Seth has always been troublesome, he didn't show such a tough attitude. I didn't expect this kind of conflict to happen this time." Glendis sighed deeply, "If I had known this, I shouldn't have come to Menzoberranzan, but I should have Zared come. Those who go smoothly in the tribe will lose their prudence, and those who lose their prudence will definitely not be able to live in the tribe." I have lived in the Underdark for a long time, and I have forgotten this most basic experience."

"Even if you don't come to Menzoberranzan City, maybe that Set will go directly to the Tarantula Tribe." Midi shrugged. "Sooner or later, the time bomb will detonate, and I tend to detonate as soon as possible."

This is no consolation.

Looking back now, there were obviously many anomalies in Seth's actions that day.

If no one tipped off the news, it would be impossible for a dandy who does whatever he wants to learn of the news of Galantis' entry into the city in such a short period of time, and it would be even more impossible for him to lead someone directly to block the door of the "Dragon Spear" weapon shop. .

And since there is a tip-off, it is natural that instigation and provocation are indispensable.

According to Midi's experience, these two have an extraordinary effect on mobilizing the arrogant self-esteem of the dude.

Therefore, it is not surprising that Seth, who was instigated, did anything out of line after seeing Galantis, because he must prove that "he is a man" and "Grandis is his woman" .

What kind of conspiracy is hidden behind this farce, whether it is a trap for the tarantula tribe, or a game and temptation between the big families, Midi is not clear.

But one thing he can be sure of is that since he has been involved, if he wants to protect himself, he must be tough.

Patience and compromise in front of such unreasonable opponents will only make them gain an inch.

The only option is to control violence with violence.

So, at that moment, Midi stepped out faster than everyone else and of course, and rejected the dude.

"You human... It's easy to say... If the red-blooded bat is a bomb, then the sparks falling from it are enough to blow up the tarantula tribe!" Galantis still frowned, and continued , and couldn't help muttering in a low voice, "If I'm not a black dragon priest, but an ordinary tarantula member, it will be much easier."

"Why is it so much easier?" Medici asked.

Could it be that she has a better solution than her own psychic power "brain lock"?

"If I were an ordinary woman, of course I would just follow Seth directly." Galantis said, showing a bitter smile.

Black dragon priests must be female, and their choice of spouse will affect the development of the entire tribe, family and even a city.

Especially when the "Bonfire Gathering" is approaching, the black dragon priest needs to perform the blood-sucking ceremony, and Zalid alone is not enough. Two priests must appear at the same time to complete the ceremony.

When the dandy of the red blood bat took the idea of ​​the priestess Galantis, it was tantamount to embarrassing the entire tarantula tribe.

Therefore, Midi's move to stand up won the support of everyone.

That's why Galantis himself seemed hesitant. On the one hand, it was out of women's own protective psychology, but more, it was because they were afraid that the tribe would be affected.

However, what if Galantis is not a black dragon priest, but just an ordinary woman?

Then, the choice becomes much simpler——

As long as you follow Seite, naturally all problems will be solved.

Not only that, maybe the Tarantula Tribe could also benefit from some connections with the Red Blood Bat Family.

Obviously, the reason why Galantis has been sighing and sighing these days is not because he is worried about himself, but because he is worried about the tribe.

For the tarantula, she would rather become an ordinary woman and accept Seth's manipulation, rather than affect the development of the tribe.

This guy……

For a moment, Midi didn't know what to say.

Obviously she is just a woman who is extremely capricious, quite brainless and irritable, but she is a little too selfless when it comes to this kind of matter.

But despite being speechless with emotion, it doesn't mean that Midi will agree with Galantis's approach.

"Even if you are an ordinary woman, you can't never be Seth." Midi said, "Because I won't allow myself to watch the female companion who came with me be taken away like this."

It's not that Midi won't compromise, for example, forbearance to become a slave of Galantis, and then slowly fight back all the way to get free.

However, at critical moments, Midi will never compromise.

If just because he was afraid of the name of a big family, he watched Glentis being taken away in front of him and used it as a plaything, then it wouldn't be the one who swept through the Kingdom of Belle Mare, the Sea of ​​Sky and even the Star Ocean, and even Beheaded a demon Viscount Midi Asrex with his own hands.

He is the "Sword of Victory and Protection". No matter whether the person who needs to be protected is noble or poor, when it is time to make a move, Midi will definitely make a move.

Otherwise, if he chooses to compromise in everything, it is impossible for Midi to get to where he is today. Even if it is reborn, at most he can only avoid danger, but he cannot face difficulties, and eventually become a leader standing in the era. The strongest in the forefront.

But obviously, Galantis had some misunderstandings about Midi's speech, at least some reverie.

This made the priestess, who had always been willful but now frowning, finally had a warm smile on her face, and her cheeks even flushed slightly.

So, didn't this man come to save me because of his status as a priestess?

Galantis couldn't help but think this way.

Not because priesthood was essential to the tribe.

Not because blood vows are essential to campfire gatherings.

It's not because of any big picture or anything.

No matter who Galantis is, Midi will definitely step forward at that time.

So, is that so?

The corner of the priestess' mouth couldn't help but slightly raised.

But right away, she reminded herself that she shouldn't have this kind of thinking, because it didn't fit the status of a priest, and it was more likely that her selfishness would cause the Tarantula tribe to fall into a greater predicament.

"I'm very happy that you think so..." After struggling for a long time, Galantis finally said in a voice as small as a mosquito, "But, is this not possible?"

"What's wrong?" Midi didn't hear the other party's words clearly for a while.

"It's not okay to fight against the Red Blood Bat Family for the sake of an ordinary woman." Galantis' voice suddenly became firm, "No, it can even be said that doing so is wrong. Because your actions alone Heroic and righteous, the final result has to be borne by the entire Tarantula tribe! Midi, although I know that you will be very upset if you say this, but I still want to say, don’t drag down the entire tribe just because of you!"

The voice of the priestess turned from low to high, and finally became decisive.

Midi was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "I can understand your thoughts, but what's left for a tribe that can't even protect women, children, old and young?"

"You bastard!" Hearing Midi's presumptuous words, Galantis even forgot his sadness for a moment, and directly rushed into anger.

"This kind of timid tribe, even if they don't encounter red-blooded bats, they will encounter blue-blooded bats and black-blooded bats. One day, because of compromise, they will sacrifice the last girl in the tribe to survive." Midi said. He said calmly, but his tone was as unshakable as a rock, "Perhaps most of the tribes are trying to survive, but I, Midi Asrex, absolutely cannot allow this."

You simply don't understand how difficult it is to survive in the Underdark!

You don't even know the strength of the big family of Menzoberranzan!

Why are you talking nonsense here!

Galantis really wanted to yell back at Midi directly.

But when the words came to her lips, the priestess couldn't yell out.

Because this "weak human being" who she once thought could only tell stories and would die in the wild had repeatedly shocked the entire tribe.

If it's this guy, perhaps, the Tarantula tribe can really make a leap forward, and maybe even compete with the big families in Menzoberranzan.

There is no reason and no reason is needed.

Looking at the human man whose expression was as calm as ever, such a thought involuntarily popped up in Galantis' heart.

"It's going to be a bonfire party soon. If the Red Blood Bat Family is unwilling to be lonely, they will definitely try to exert influence. Let me see how far they can go." Midi said, looking into the dark depths. At the direction of Menzoberranzan City.

At the same time, in the city where they left for three days, in the stalactite group where the Red Blood Bat Family was located, a dark elf man with blue eyes was quietly listening to the report.

"Lost memory?" The blue-eyed man frowned slightly.

"Yes, Master Seth can't remember the situation when the incident happened." The captain of the guard who knelt on one knee said with trepidation, not even daring to raise his head, "We also used various spells and hypnotism, but it still didn't work , as if that memory was directly deleted."

"Hmph, although Seth is a waste, he is still considered strong, and now he has been knocked down without any trace, which is very interesting!" The blue-eyed man showed an extremely cold smile, "I would like to I want to meet that human named Midi."

"My lord, what do you mean?" The captain of the guard hurried over.

"The bonfire party is about to begin, and the major families in Menzoberranzan City are about to move around. Just in time, I can also relax." The blue-eyed man ordered, "Go down and make arrangements. This time, I, Simon, will send the emissary identity, let’s go and see what’s going on!”
