Chapter 495: The Head of Rot
The secret realm of the island in the middle of the lake, the fourth floor of the book tower.
Donkey had just returned from the old tavern, leaving Eric Hartmann to the witch at the school who was also a teacher of necromancy, and then went straight back to the library tower, ready to continue tackling the big and difficult task.
However, in front of him, the "Red Robe Wizard Ancestor's Self-Statement" had just been opened, and he was just about to continue his previous reading progress.
Suddenly, a quick magic phone rang.
Tang Qi picked up the earpiece, and the voice of Jennifer, who had just been separated, came from the other end, and her tone was unprecedentedly solemn.
When Jennifer's words fell, the ease on Tang Qi's face had long since disappeared, his brows furrowed tightly, and he fell silent for a while.
She brought an abrupt, but when you think about it, it seems that sooner or later a horror will happen.
Just now, ten minutes or less, a mysterious organization called the 'Head of Rot' has somehow opened an entrance to an exotic realm in the Blake Mountains near Myrhuang City.
And it was the eighth entrance that the organization had opened, only this one was different from the previous seven empty entrances.
At the other end, an unknown monster appeared.
Moreover, not a single head, but a race of unknown numbers.
Although there is a Knight of Light on the front line, "John Olesim", he blocked the monster invasion at the first time, and sent a message for help to the church and the castle bureau in time, and the two organizations dispatched elite transcendents at the same time.
And at the same time, the state of Miris officially reported to the Federation and applied for the mobilization of troops to participate, according to Jennifer, once the two groups fail, the closest army to the state of Missis will directly enter the Blake Mountains, and will drop weapons of mass destruction before the incident gets out of hand.
A super-bomb like a "nuclear bomb" has not been invented in this world.
However, having been in contact with foundations such as the "World Tree", coupled with the contacts of Raphael and others, he also vaguely speculated that the official may have mastered some technological weapons that are enough to kill and injure evil gods, to be exact, it should be a weapon after the combination of transcendence and technology.
It takes a long time to brew, but the power is terrifying.
Tang Qi understands the official attitude, although there has been a hundred years of "disappearance", but the horror of the mysterious side has never left the hearts of those in power.
"The Condor Federation is a group of heroes who led the common people to rise from the chaotic and terrible dark land, defeated countless demons and evil gods, and they have already told their descendants how terrible the Dark Age is. ”
"And one of the most striking features of the Dark Age is the Demon Tide. ”
"At that time, the entrance to the New World, foreign entrances were not uncommon, they would randomly open holes all over the land, monsters from foreign lands, evil races, or demons, devils and even evil gods, or unspeakable beings...... They invade through the entrance, and most of them treat humans as food. ”
"After the spirit tide begins to return, any transcendent who knows how to think will probably worry that this dark scene will reappear, dragging the Condor Federation into the abyss of terror once again. At that time, the population of the Federation after the explosion is only afraid that there will be heavy casualties. ”
"In order to avoid this, as long as the people in power in the Federation are not stupid, they will extinguish similar signs in the first place. ”
"Even if the use of that kind of weapon of mass destruction will bring a series of subsequent effects such as shock waves, earthquakes, and radiation pollution, and there is a high probability that it will cause some damage to Mihuang City and the surrounding area, the military will definitely give an order. ”
"Of course, the throwing of such weapons is usually a last resort, and if the transcendents of the Castle Bureau and the Church can prevent the arrival of the unknown race, there will be no disaster. ”
The thoughts were complicated, but they only flashed through his mind.
Tang Qi was not silent for too long, and soon said calmly: "I can be used as a reserve combat force, once you can't support it, I will rush over as fast as possible, but the rest of the school will not appear." ”
"In addition, if I can't stop it with all my might, I have the right to leave, and you will immediately agree to the military's weapons drop. ”
"Good!"
didn't let Tang Qi wait, Jennifer seemed to know Tang Qi's answer for a long time, and directly agreed.
His few words are the content of the cooperation agreement between "Melada Special Education School" and the official.
As a cooperative organization, in the event of such a "disaster" or emergency, Tang Qi is indeed obliged to help.
In fact, it's not just Tang Qi.
Other similar organizations, or individuals, have the same agreement.
This is a custom handed down from the ancient Dark Age, and it is also this habit of watching and helping each other, so that the human race, which was once used as food by countless monsters, slowly rises from the dark and bloody land, and finally becomes the victor.
Of course, unlike the official ones, the private forces will not pursue the principle of "swearing to the death and not retreating".
Unless it's at the last minute, or when it's a critical moment.
If even the military can't do it, once they retreat, it will cause more serious consequences, then Tang Qi will not have any hesitation, and the entire witch school will participate in the war, including those children who are only a few years old, and even ordinary people who do not have extraordinary powers.
The Dark Age, this kind of "battle", is full of history books on the mysterious side.
"Hopefully, there won't be that day. ”
Tang Qi put down the earpiece and let out a long breath.
His eyes also fell on the Dragon Heart Castle at this time, and the students were unaware of what was happening in the outside world, and they were still immersed in the joy of the upcoming "party", and the magnificent Dragon Heart Castle was arranged more like a magic castle.
After a few turns of thought, Tang Qi suppressed the idea and impulse of "announcing that the school has entered a defensive state", and the students could not leave the secret realm of the island in the middle of the lake, and the entire secret realm was under his control, and whether to defend or not was only between his thoughts.
There is no need to panic the students.
What he has to do is to wait, waiting for the final result of the Castle Bureau and the Church.
"After the return of the spirit tide, the church and the castle bureau must be accumulating and brewing strength all the time, the last time Lecter's quick sneak attack was effective, but it does not mean that this kind of war raid is also effective, since the knight chief thinks that he can block it for ten minutes, it means that the race that is trying to invade this time is not as strong as imagined. ”
"With the strength of the two major organizations, this is likely to be the first race war in the Condor New Calendar, and I am afraid it will not be difficult to solve. ”
"The real threat is that the organization called the 'Head of Rot', while dealing with the investigation of the Castle Bureau and the Church, can open eight foreign entrances in a short period of time, and the real Lord Envoy members have never shown up?"
"Jennifer says that this is an extremely mysterious organization, and has appeared in many of the Dark Age texts, and the above records show that this organization fought against most of the Twelve Saints and nearly led to the failure of the Condor Federation......
"What is uncertain is whether the 'Rotten Head' who is now active again is the same organization from the Dark Age, or is it a counterfeit version?"
Tang Qi thought about some of the information Jennifer had leaked before.
He unconsciously got up and went down to the fourth floor, and after a while, his figure appeared in the reading area on the first floor of the book tower, looking at the large pile of books floating in front of him with surprised eyes. The title alone is eye-catching.
What slowly fell into his hand at this moment was a tome with a black lacquer cover, but written in blood-like paint in the center, called "The Complete Record of the Dark Age Cult Organization".
Its thickness can be called terrifying.
When you associate it with the title of the book, anyone would be terrified to think about it.
"It's just that there are so many cults? ”
When he sighed, Tang Qi looked at the hanging in front of him, such as "The Wanted List of Mysterious Organizations (Evil Camp Chapter)", "The Black Hand in the Fog of History", "The Betrayers of the Human Camp", "The Forgotten Secret Organization", ...... It's the same kind of books, dealing with mysterious organizations in the evil and chaotic camps.
A madman like "Lecter" is not just a modern society.
In the more twisted and terrifying Dark Age, during that long time, such madmen and delusionals abounded, most of them died, but there were also some people, in various ways, who left their names in the dark history.
The Shepherds' Order led by Lecter, although he also did some crazy things, but his name could not be engraved on the "Monument of Glory" compared to his "predecessors", if there was a Monument of Glory for the betrayers and delusionals.
When Tang Qi's magic power poured in, the book in front of him immediately flipped over.
He didn't have to wait long, and after about ten seconds, he saw the information he was looking for.
"The Head of Rot, an organization of madmen, careerists, and delusionals, no one knows when it originated, only that it is an ancient organization that has repeatedly tried to completely turn the world upside down, and its name derives from Old World mythology. ”
"In mythology, before the birth of man, the first ancient god was born, he is not only the beginning of the gods, but also the first spirit of all spirits above the 'mystery', he has no name, because he does not need a name, he is the source of all life, whether it is god or human, or other life, it comes from his decaying body after his death......"
And they are destined to dominate all life, and all they do is to regain lost authority. ”
"The Head of Decay first appeared as a member of the Order, codenamed 'The Ninth', a demigod who, in the middle of the Dark Age, bewitched the human kings of dozens of nations in succession, triggering a war that engulfed the Old Continent and lasted for decades, eventually known as the 'War of Blood', resulting in the deaths of millions of people. ”
"It's called blood mud because the dead soldiers and civilians, their corpses merge with the dirt, making the earth blood-red, which is a picture that even demons will give birth to pity, and even today, when the population exploded, that war is still synonymous with brutality and ignorance. ”
"In order to kill that demigod, the Pope of the Church of Light personally intervened, summoned the Thorn Holy Sword, and killed the 'Ninth Corrupt Head', who was only close to becoming a god. ”
"The bloody mud war subsided...... The first of the rot, and thus became famous in the first battle. ”
"Less than a hundred years later, the second appearance of the Order, codenamed the 'Third Corrupt Head', is neither a demigod nor even a transcendent, but he has an incredible body, and at his own expense, he summoned a deadly virus from a foreign land, and soon, death swept the Old World again......"
