Chapter 261: The Man with the Skull Mask

So why did he, the dwarven king from Scandinavia, have such a strong confidence that he could find the fairies of the Rhine and the gold kept by the fairies that even the gods had not found? Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

It all started with a dream, before the dwarven king Alberrich was a teenager and had not yet become a king, he had a trip in the wilderness with a bard with blue eyes, the bard was very young, maybe only a teenager, and always had a smile on his face, and the bard told him many prophecies, the prophecy that he would become a king, the prophecy that the main plane would change dramatically, the prophecy that the gods would disappear, and finally the prophecy that he would have infinite wealth and the whole world and become the king of the world。

The young and vigorous Alberrich saw the bard who looked younger than himself, and let out a contemptuous laugh, he did not believe in the so-called prophecy of the young guy, only thought that it was a guy who did not know the so-called for the wealth of the dwarves, but in the following time, the things that he had to believe happened one by one, and the prophecy came true one by one, Alberrich successfully became the king of the dwarf kingdom, and the gods had to leave the main plane because of Zeus's wanton behavior, and the main plane began to change, and the plane walls became thicker and thicker…… Now that all these prophecies known from the bard's mouth have been fulfilled, there should be nothing wrong with the last method of becoming the king of the world, and it should definitely work out in the end.

What's more, on the night that Atila had conquered Rus, conquered Karelia, conquered Finland and was ready to start a move against Scandinavia, Alberrich received Beowulf's letter, in a dream he dreamed of three fairies whose faces could not be seen clearly, and the fairies were frolicking in a river that flowed blue, and the bottom of the river shone golden in the sunlight...... Although it was only the first time he saw it, Alberrich knew that it was the gold of the Rhine, which the gods were said to have fallen.

And this is also the reason why he is now on this continent, he needs to find the river that is buried with gold and guarded by three fairies, as long as he can find that river, then everything will come to his palm, and his ambition will eventually be realized.

However, this so-called dream was maintained until he landed on land from the rough sea...... Autumn passed quickly, winter did not linger for long, spring had arrived, and Albrich had been wandering the swamp for nearly half a year with five hundred dwarven warriors, still not finding a way out of it, nor finding the Rhine that was said to run half a continent.

Of course, they couldn't find the Rhine, where the Rhine was now called Schleswig, and the nearest land where the Rhine flowed was at least a third of a continent away, how could he possibly find the Rhine here.

And because they lived in the ice canyons and caves in the north before, and came to the unfamiliar swamp area for the first time, many dwarves couldn't get used to the climate here, the miasma here, plus all kinds of parasites and crocodiles, lizards, poisonous snakes, and dinosaurs hidden in the swamp, in just half a year, even with the leadership and protection of Alberrich, who had legendary strength, the scale of five hundred fully armed warriors was only three hundred.

Just when the dwarves had become accustomed to everything in the swamp, something even worse happened...... Their hunting teams disappeared one after another, and the people who were sent out to find them did not find any clues and reasons, and even the dwarves sent out to find clues also suffered casualties, forcing Alberrich to go out in person, but it was of no use, he was not Alice and did not have a subordinate like Brian who was familiar with the swamp, and there was nothing to gain from going out except wasting time.

This caused a great deal of frustration in Alberlich's heart, and he was already planning to stop this operation and return to his own country to make his next move...... But he had no idea that on the last day of his retreat, those invisible enemies would be so bold as to attack their army in daylight at this time, facing the army led by a legend.

There were about a hundred enemies, and their bodies were only covered with simple strips of cloth, their brown and black skin was exposed, and each of them had a mask that covered their faces so that they could not be seen, which was only the upper part of the skull......

At this time, Alice was standing in the dwarf's temporary camp, her body was now wearing [Morrigan's invisibility cloak], no one could find out that this battlefield had entered a third party and an uninvited guest, she used this magic to levitate in the air three meters above the ground, looking down on the entire battlefield.

Although the dwarves have a legend, and each dwarf has strong armor and sharp weapons, they are generally in a lower position, and most of the corpses on the ground are these dwarves, and there are only a few casualties that attack them.

The shadow was constantly writhing, jumping up from the ground and turning into a sword, constantly bringing casualties to the dwarves; a tall figure with dark red arms shuttled through the crowd, although the figure was tall but the movements were extremely flexible, every stretch of the dark red arm must have a bloody heart appear in his palm, and it also represented the death of a dwarf; a black figure passed by the dwarven warrior's side, and the next second, the dwarves froze, and then without warning, there was a dull explosion from the gap in the armor used to breathe, and then the iron cans fell to the groundThe red-white liquid flowed out of the cracks in the armor and quickly melted into the swamp on the ground, while the remaining figures gathered together in groups of three or five, they were more tacit than the closest brothers and comrades, using mutual cooperation to cover the dwarves to launch attacks, often two people were able to defeat the dwarves several times their own size.

From the outset, the tide was tilted towards one end of the scales, and the well-armed and powerful dwarves were being played by their nimble opponents, leaving no room for resistance.

The dwarven king with legendary strength was anxious in his eyes, but no matter how anxious he was in his heart, he didn't have the slightest way, because now he had no way to spare his hands to help his subordinates, he held a large hammer shining with electric arcs in his hand, and wore golden armor, looking solemnly at the enemy in front of him,

Opposite him was a tall figure covered in a black robe, with a different mask on his face, not only the upper part of the mask, but a complete skeletal mask with his mouth and nose covered, this figure hidden in the black robe was not the same as his companions who liked to fight empty-handed, he held a two-handed sword in his hand, the sharp blade of which shone with a metallic luster in the faint sunlight.

The moment she saw this long sword, Alice's mind couldn't help but sound a dangerous alarm, that long sword, the long sword held in the hands of the man in black, could have an absolute threat to her body...... It is a threat that can penetrate the soul and harm the body.

"Is this what it is?"

Although Alice didn't judge what kind of name and ability this longsword was from its appearance, she already knew how the dwarves along the way died, and what kind of weapons they died underneath.

The two people in the field, the dwarf king facing each other and the black-robed man with a long sword did not notice Alice floating above their heads, the war hammer and the long sword constantly collided with each other, and the fire overflowed, making a sound of gold and iron.

"Who are you, and why are you attacking us!?"

Alberrich questioned the other party loudly, and at the same time waved the sledgehammer held in the palm of his hand to hit the other party hard to knock him away, the black-robed man unloaded the power exerted by the other party on his body with a slight jump, and then the figure kept flashing, around the dwarf king's constant circle, countless afterimages appeared in Alberrich's retina, and before he could react, a huge force had been exerted on his body from all directions.

"Ding Ding Ding"

The crisp sound of a series of sharp blades colliding with the armor kept recalling, no matter how fierce the black-robed man's attack was, it couldn't break through Alberrich's armor and really hurt him...... Although the weapon in the black-robed man's hand could easily pierce through the dwarven armor from his previous performance, and it also brought Alice a very dangerous feeling, it was a little dwarfed when facing the armor worn by the dwarf king Alberrich.

"It's useless, it's useless, it's useless, hahahaha. ”

Alberrich swung the hammer in his hand vigorously, and the violent hurricane began to rage around him, and there was a slight arc of electricity in the wind, and it began to bombard the figure of the black-robed man non-stop, even if the speed of the black-robed man was very fast, it could not compare to the speed of the wind and lightning, and after forcibly receiving five or six electric shocks, he found an opportunity to leave Alberrich's side.

"Don't try to escape!"

Alberrich roared when he saw that the black robes on his body had been pierced with several large holes, revealing a muscular enemy underneath, and then he vigorously overdrew the hammer in his hand.

The wind covered the surface of the hammer, the thunder and lightning flickered around, and the mud on the ground, which was incomparably soft by blood, was like a deep concave trajectory like a wave, and the sharp sound of breaking the air had just sounded, and the hammer that turned into a yellow flash had already arrived in front of the black-robed man.

A similar sound of "ding" sounded again

Alburych's eyes widened and his mouth slightly open, he mechanically raised his hand and steadily grasped the hammer that swirled backwards, looking like he had seen a ghost.

The black-robed man had now taken off his tattered black robe, and the sharp sword had been forcefully inserted into the mud under his feet to stabilize his body, and a black shield appeared on his left hand, which had been empty and had not taken anything away.

It was a semi-oval shield that could block half of the black-robed man's body behind him, and there were several strips of white cloth wrapped around the shield that had not been completely untied, and there were five or six half-meter-long spikes on the front of the shield.

Alberrich had no idea that the enemy who reached out so quickly was actually a warrior, a warrior with a sword in one hand and a shield in the other...... The enemy didn't give him much of a chance to think, and the black shadows began to revolve around him, and soon a wall of shadows formed around him, beyond the wind and lightning.

The black-robed man, no, can no longer be called a black-robed man, because the black robe on his body has been torn to pieces in the battle just now, revealing the strong brown-black muscles underneath, and the only thing that has not changed is the skeletal mask he wears on his head, and now it is more appropriate to use the word masked man to describe it.

"You...... Who the hell are you! There's never been anyone like you on this land!"

Moving his gaze slightly, Alberrich, who was about to finish off all his subordinates, could no longer maintain his apparent calm, although he could not see his face behind the armor, but he must have been covered with sweat by now.

"Thou shalt not know my name. ”

This is the first time that the masked man has spoken, and if you judge from the voice alone, you can't tell from the voice that it seems to be a woman, a man, an old man, and an old man

The identity of this person.

"What does a strong armor protect, and what does a powerful weapon bring?"

"The selfishness that even your own subordinates can't protect, the weakness that even the enemy can't kill. ”

"What a fool - bring up your head!"

With the voice of the masked man, the long sword in his hand began to appear with a black light, which was the light that all living things would be absolutely afraid, that was the light that brought absolute equality to all that was still alive, that was the light that symbolized death, and that was also the light that symbolized farewell to everything.

"No!"

Before Alberly could scream, the black sword had already slashed through his neck.
