Chapter Twenty-Six: The Disaster of Annelot
"Your father was the first to rush forward. Mel looked at Anne Lot and continued.
"Father......" Anelote repeated in a low voice, both father and daughter were attribute abilities, so Anelote could understand Malollet's anger very well.
"Malolit destroyed the circle at the first time, and then Nidhogg fought us like crazy. He was merciless, and we stopped holding it back, Nidhogg was too dangerous for us to let such a time bomb continue to roam the road. Mel leaned back in his chair, but his voice was still a little shaky, "It was the most dangerous battle I've ever experienced, and although I had two Sanctuary warriors as cover, my magic was almost worthless in front of Nidhogg, and if it weren't for Kevin's Holy Healing Technique, I'm afraid I would have died." ”
"You won in the end, didn't you?" Regner didn't get a rough idea of what was going on until now.
"Yes, Malorit and Kevin have a combo that can completely block Nidhogg's magic circuit. I took the opportunity to use the law to kill him. Mel had a look of guilt on her face. No matter what became of Nidhogg, he still had a good understanding of Mel after all. Even after all these years, Mel still lives in the shadow of the killer.
However, Regner heard Mel's words, and he said pointedly, "Combo fighting skills?"
"......" The expression on Mel's face stiffened, but he still nodded: "Yes, this is a protective measure made by Kevin after he noticed that Nidhogg's temperament is becoming more and more ruthless, and we can't let Nidhogg become an invincible existence across the continent." ”
"Why didn't you bring back his body after you killed him?" asked Regner.
"Because we want to bury these secrets completely. Mel looked at Regner and Annelot and said, "What Nidhogg has studied is very cruel to you attribute abilities. Once this matter is exposed, you attribute capable people are likely to become the target of the continent's powerhouses. When the time comes, it will definitely be another bloody storm. So we completely destroyed everything in the cave at that time, and vowed to seal it in the deepest part of our memory. If it weren't for the news of Nidhogg at this time, I wouldn't have told you about it. ”
Regner nodded, and he and Annelot looked at each other, both reading the surprise and exclamation in each other's eyes. It's clear, the truth of the matter is finally clear. And the two of them now know even better than Mel all the cause and effect of the past:
If what Mel says is true, then the story doesn't end there. Because they all knew that Nidhogg did not die from the death of the law, at least not immediately. The legendary mage may have escaped with some kind of deception, and swore through gritted teeth that he would take revenge on the three Mels, and even the entire empire and continent. The Elons, who were already in seclusion at the time, happened to bump into the seriously injured Nidhogg, so the three of them had another battle, and it was in this battle that the legendary mage who had once roamed the continent really fell.
Moreover, Nidhogg may have released a declaration of return before he fell. So Elon, who couldn't bear to be miserable on the continent, transformed himself into an alien creature, although he returned to the elven tribe of the Lance continent, but presumably Elon's eyes never left the Chino continent for a moment.
After understanding the truth of the year, Regner has a new understanding of this corpse tide. If this is really the ghost of Nidhogg back then, then this disaster will probably be completely beyond everyone's imagination!
Regner then asked, "So, Master, what do you think of this wave of corpses?"
"I don't know. Mel's tone was a little weak.
"I don't know?" This time even Anne Lot was stunned, Mel's erudition was something that even she admired very much, and he actually said he didn't know?
"Yes, I've never looked up anything like this in any of the books. "It's beyond my comprehension," Mel said calmly, just as I could never see Nidhogg's power at the time." ”
"......" Regner and Anne Lott couldn't help but be a little upset when they heard Mel say this. Although they finally learned the truth about the past from Mel, the two young men still felt that a huge conspiracy still hung over their heads, and they had no clue how to solve it.
After leaving the Court Mage Association, both Regner and Annelot were a little silent, and in the end, it was Annelot who spoke first: "Is there anything else you can do?"
"I don't have a clue, I can only take one step at a time. Regner smiled wryly, although he really wanted to give Annelot a little support and encouragement, but now he really couldn't do anything about the situation in front of him. The South has been completely reduced to a dead field, and the MI has no way to bring him any information. Therefore, he couldn't tell if this wave of corpses was Ned Hogg's ghost. Moreover, even if it was really Nidhogg's doing, what could they do? Nidhogg had the strength to face two Sanctuary warriors and a quasi-legendary mage alone, what could he do with an assassin who had not yet entered the Sanctuary?
Anne Lot was not surprised by Regner's answer, in fact, she just asked casually. The girl nodded briefly, and then rode back to the magic academy in a carriage. In order to deal with the corpse tide, the magic academy also has a lot of preparations to do, and she doesn't have time to delay here. The same is true of Ragner, who grabbed his hair in distress and returned to MI.
Let's take one step at a time, maybe the Imperial Army will be able to resist this wave of corpses? Big deal, just take Annelot and them to the Reims Continent for refuge.
......
A few days later, Regner arrived alone with Anne Lot on his back to the Court Mage Society.
"You're here. Mel was still not surprised by Regner's arrival, in fact, when we met the other day, Mel had used a look at Regner, which made Regner realize that Mel was actually hiding some things, but these things could not be told to Annelot.
"You called me to come, but I didn't dare not come. Regner smiled reluctantly and said, "So, is there anything else?"
"Boy. Mel looked at Regner, and then asked seriously, "Do you really like Annie?"
Regner was stunned: "Is this still fake?"
"Although Anne is not my daughter, I have treated her as my own after getting along for the past few years. You might as well think so, and now I'm asking in Malollet's place. Mel asked, word for word, "Do you really like Anne, and are you willing to do everything in your power to protect her?"
"Anne is my most important person, and I am willing to protect her with my life. Regner replied without hesitation, and with the same seriousness.
"......" Mel stared at Regner for a full minute before he said, "Then there's one thing I want you to know." ”
"Master, please speak. ”
"Annie's attribute ability ......" Mel took a deep breath, "not her own. ”
"What?!" Regner got up from his chair, not his own?Could it be that Anne had been experimented with some kind of transplantation of attribute abilities a long time ago?Was it Vellais's doing?What was all going on?
"It's really all my guess. Mel shook his head, and he continued, "Because the former Nidhogg had the same ice attribute ability as Anne. So I suspect that Anne's ice attribute ability was actually inherited from Nidhogg. And judging from the time of Nidhogg's death and Anne's birth, the difference should not be far off. In addition, that Red Flame Sorcerer Saron, in fact, his attribute ability is also the same as Nidhogg's wind and fire attribute ability back then. ”
