Volume 1: The Ritual of the Abyss Chapter 12: Awakening (1)

Heavy rain enveloped the entire territory of Laria, and heavy dark clouds obscured the sun and moon. The city's drainage system was also overloaded at this time, and the stench was stinking with stagnant water everywhere, carrying excrement or some debris.

And all of this is related to a demon that was polluted by the abyssal qi.

At the moment, it is hidden deep in the jungles of Mobia, Larria. The abyssal magic is constantly eroding this land, and even the weather is affected, causing the water elements to gather abnormally in the land.

In this case, if you don't send an army to fight, within a month, this place will be a lifeless dead place. Millions of people in the territory will lose their homes and become displaced people.

To this end, the Holy Empire has specially sent the strongest Holy Arbitration Army to crusade against monsters!

......

Inside the city, inside the camp of the arguers

A non-commissioned officer is reporting to Grayles about the monster.

"Captain Greres, our scouts have discovered the location of the Ze Demon, ready to send a team to fight it. ”

Greles, on the other hand, looked at the road map in his hand and compared the sand table model on the table, and fell into deep thought.

According to the information fed back from the picture, this monster should be in a lake in the center of the jungle, surrounded by many magical beasts that have also been affected by the abyssal qi.

Although they have not yet been affected by the Abyssal Qi and turned into monsters, they can become extremely tricky when they are in a state of madness. If they attack rashly, even they will pay an extremely painful price.

As Grayles continued to think about his plan, a man with broken blonde hair and good features walked into the tent.

He looked at Graylers with a smile on his face and said, "Grayles, you seem to be distressed right now?"

Grellus looked up, couldn't help but hold his forehead, and said, "Chris, what are you doing here? ”

And Chris pouted and said, "How boring is that, and, compared to this......" Chris suddenly took out a projection magic stone from his arms, and said excitedly: "What do you see here?"

Then I saw the projection magic stone in Chris's hand flash, and an image appeared in the air.

Then Greiles heard a baby's cry. In the picture, a pink baby is being held in the arms of a woman. The woman was comforting the baby in her arms.

A special sense of warmth also comes with the picture.

"Hey, hey!"

Looking at Chris's smirk, Grellers thought about what was going on.

"You kid, you're going to be a father. ”

Hearing Greres's words, Chris nodded even more excitedly: "Mmmm, look at my daughter!

As he spoke, he stretched out his finger and tried to touch the baby in the shadow, revealing a happy smile.

"Hehe, you kid, since you are all a father, you are still so indecent. ”

"Hey, hey, you're almost seventy or eighty years old, and you're still single, and you can't experience this kind of happiness. ”

When Chris said this, Greiles couldn't help choking, and the original blessing was stuck in his throat.

Looking at Graylers' constipated expression, Chris mended the knife again.

"However, if you are envious, I can also let the child recognize you as a godfather. ”

As soon as these words came out, Graylers was even more short of breath, gritted his teeth and said, "If you just came to talk about this, I'll throw you out!"

As if sensing that his joke was too much, Chris hurriedly snorted and perfunctory.

"Ahem, I do have something to do. ”

Greyston ('⌒ ́メ): "Fart!"

"Some time ago, when we were studying the abyssal qi, we found that the priest's purification technique, after fusing with the water element in a certain way, could have a strong inhibitory effect on the power of the abyss. So, we began to experiment, and just yesterday, a new type of purification circle was successfully developed. ”

Hearing this, Greiles suddenly became interested and continued to ask, "What is the specific effect of that?"

"It calms the beasts that are only affected by the abyssal aura, but not polluted, and they become honest and quiet. ”

As soon as these words came out, Graylers' eyes widened even more: "Is this true?!"

If it is true, then the difficulty of this expedition will be greatly reduced. This is an idea that will go down in history!

"Yes, as long as our mage and clergy work together, we will be able to open a purification circle that covers the entire Morbian jungle. At that time, the monsters in the Mobia jungle will become much more docile, and some unnecessary troubles in the process of conquest will be avoided. ”

"Hmm. Grelles also nodded, indicating that it was feasible. However, he still added a sentence later: "That...... How stable is your circle?"

In this regard, Chris patted his chest and said: "If there is any accident, I will take all the responsibility!"

Greiles couldn't help but laugh and scolded: "...... Come on, what are you going to do? ”

And Chris changed his previous playful appearance, and said in a serious tone: "I'm not joking, this is not a joke, it's a military order!"

Grellers was a little surprised, "You are ...... this"

Chris shook his head, "I know what you want to say, even if you don't use this magic circle, it will only take half a month for the Arbitrator Army to end the expedition." But ......".

Chris turned his head to look in the direction of the main city: "We can afford to wait, the residents here can't wait, even if it is half a month, it is enough to cause the displacement of more than 100,000 residents." ”

"Reckless action will only lead to the needless sacrifice of the soldiers of the Arbitrators......"

Chris hurriedly interrupted Greiles and looked at him with burning eyes: "But the lives of the people are also fate, and we still have the purification circle now." ”

Greiles opened his mouth, but finally couldn't say anything. This sentence made Greiles feel irrefutable.

Inside the tent, the two looked at each other like this, and were silent for a while.

Until Chris suddenly changed his serious expression and said happily: "Besides, I want to go back to see my Linna as soon as possible!"

After saying that, without waiting for Greiles to react, he ran out of the tent.

Seeing this, Graylers couldn't help laughing, and then returned to the sand table, looking at the report on the table for a while, and comparing the terrain on the sand table for a while.

After a long time, Graylers finally sighed deeply, called his adjutant, and ordered: "Send the mage group and the priest group, let them unite and set up a purification array!"

"Yes!"

In the end, Greiles chose Chris's proposal and went out early.

......

The next day, above the Morbian jungle, faintly, a huge magic array was suspended there, and the faint abyssal aura that had been floating in the air seemed to have disappeared.

"Report to the Legion Commander!, the scout has sent a letter, and the monsters in the jungle have regained their calm. ”

The adjutant on the side also said: "At this rate, at the latest, the legion can send troops to attack this afternoon at the latest!"

"Hmm. ”

It can be seen that Chris's purification circle is really effective. In this way, the legion can send troops to recruit in advance.

"Pass my orders, the expeditionary troops are ready to stand by at the west entrance of the Mobian Jungle......! Prepare armor for me. ”

"Yes!"

That's right, this time, Grayles plans to go by himself, so that even if there is an accident, with his own presence, he can control some losses.

At this time, another herald came.

"Report to the Legion Commander, and Captain Chris has also nominated to go. ”

What the hell is this kid?

"Go back and tell him to stay in the camp. ”

"Yes!"

And just as the soldiers were about to go out, Chris suddenly broke in.

"I knew you wouldn't agree. ”

Greiles looked at him speechlessly and said, "Since you know, why are you asking?"

"This time, I have a reason you can't refuse, I have to go this time!"

Greiles was not in a hurry, so he asked, "Then I want to see what kind of reason it is?"

Chris replied, "I'm mainly involved in the development of this circle, and with me present, even if there is a problem with the circle, it can provide an effective solution." ”

"......" is true.

"Moreover, this is the first time that the circle has been put into practice, and I still have to take samples to provide data for the improvement of the circle. ”

"Okay, then you can come too, but you have to remember that you must honestly follow the troops, and you can't run around!"

"You can rest assured that I am not bad myself. ”

“......”
