Chapter 365: Divine Blessing and Magic
Chapter 365: Divine Blessing and Magic
"I didn't expect that Arthur kid to become so strong-" Looking at the young man who was following Leitch with an embarrassed face in front of him, and thinking back to the terrifying electric light that almost blinded his eyes before, Lawsky couldn't help but sigh deeply - for this storm dwarf who has always been grinning, it has to be said that it is really rare to have such a 'deep' expression on his face.
"Indeed, that kid's luck is enviable—this kid was the first to follow the leader!" said Bill, grinning.
Lawski suddenly said to Bill in an extremely complicated tone, "Silly big man, I want to ask you a question. ”
"Hey, if there's a fart, let it go - didn't anyone tell you that you dwarves who are almost as violent as a powder keg (gunpowder has appeared in Andrew's world, but the level of development is quite low, and magic technology is the mainstream of this world), it's really not suitable to pretend to be deep......"
To Bill's surprise, this time Lawski was not provoked by him, he noticed that the other party was looking at the front of the group with an extremely complicated look, his bearded lips rose and fell slightly, obviously trying to speak, but it seemed to be quite hesitant - don't tell me that this dwarf winter melon is really thinking about life?!
"Bill, you say, why does Big Brother have that ability?" said Lawski in a low voice.
"What?" said Bill, who was deserting, reflexively asked.
"I say, why do you say the head of the regiment has that kind of almost godlike ability?!" The enraged Lawski yelled, almost close to Bill's ear - oh, of course this is impossible, after all, the height difference between the two is there......
"Idiot, I'm not deaf, what the hell are you calling it?" Bill plucked out his ear in a little pain, and then slapped Lawsky to the ground with a slap - even the storm dwarf Lawsky with the physique of a 'mining maniac' is not as strong as Bill's humanoid beast! This is one of the important reasons why Lawsky is unhappy with Bill!
"Let me ask you a question - is there a chicken or an egg in this world?"
Lawsky, who was about to get up and retaliate, was instantly dumbfounded when he heard Bill's question, and he glared at Bill with a long mouth and said, "What?!"
After a while, Lawsky, who had come to his senses, glared at Bill with a flushed face and said, "What does the question I ask you have to do with eggs?"
If you look closely at Lawsky's expression, it is easy to see that his expression at this time is undoubtedly a little weak......
"It doesn't matter if you can't answer," Bill waved his hand 'magnanimously', then grinned, "because I don't know the answer either." ”
Looking at the silly smile on Bill's face, Lawski suddenly felt that his IQ was seriously insulted, and he couldn't help blurting out: "Mom-"
As a result, before his pronunciation was finished, his head was suddenly attacked by Bill again, and just as he was squatting on the ground with his head in his hands and moaning, he suddenly heard Bill say: "Idiot, don't you understand now - why does the regimental commander have that ability, and is there a difference between the chicken and the egg in this world? There are many questions in this world that we don't understand, but you just need to remember one thing - that mysterious and powerful man is our regiment leader, the 'big brother' in your mouth, and that's enough!"
With that, Bill strode after the group, leaving the dwarf still crouching in place, stunned.
"Bill, it's really not easy-" Short, who was also walking slowly at the back of the line, looked up at the tall figure in front of him and muttered in a low voice.
After walking for a while, a bright light suddenly appeared in everyone's field of vision—that was the exit of this waterlogged passage! This made everyone secretly relieved—because of the appearance of the rolling stone before, everyone walked in this narrow passage, and there was always a faint uncomfortable feeling, as if more rolling stones would roll down at any time!
But at this moment, everyone suddenly heard Leitch say, "Everyone stop moving!"
"What's wrong?" Davis couldn't help but look at Leitch in bewilderment.
"I'm afraid there is an ambush ahead," Seeing that most of the people looked puzzled, Lei Qi said in a deep voice, "That rolling stone just now, it appeared a little strangely-except for that big claw, we didn't trigger other mechanisms! In other words, the rolling stone just now was most likely pushed in by a creature hidden behind the passage! Of course, this is just a possibility, but it's better for us to be cautious." ”
After saying that, Leitch couldn't help but glance at Davis beside him - in fact, he had already discovered that as a fifth-order ghost assassin, Davis's actual combat experience was really pitiful! But this is not difficult to understand, after all, the latter's background is there, and then she became the supreme queen of the Abidjan Kingdom, which dooms her to be unable to go through life and death like the rest of the night blades before reaching the height of the fifth order! As for where the energy required for the latter's promotion comes from (Nightblade promotion relies on killing, which has already been explained in the part where Leitch awakens the Dark Soul), it is obviously not a problem for the Antonia family and the royal family of the Kingdom of Abidjan......
Immediately, the four high-level demons were summoned by Luck and walked out of the cave as pathfinders.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Bang!"
Sure enough, as soon as the four high-level demons stepped out of the cave, many arrows flew at them, accompanied by a few clouds of frost-white ice and snow - that was magic!
"Whew-"
With the help of the vision of several demons, Luck had already determined the ambush of the enemy outside the mouth of the cave—in two directions, there were four and five crypt men respectively!
Ricky and Davis glanced at each other, the latter only nodded slightly, and then saw her body shake slightly, and her whole person disappeared from the passage like a shadow blending into the darkness - it was a master-level 'Black Mist Teleportation'! Compared to the low-level Black Mist Teleportation, there was no movement at all when the skill was activated!
After Davis disappeared, Richie held up a magic shield in his left hand, and a blazing flame danced in his right hand, and then his whole body rushed out first!
And before that, four high-level demons with a lot of arrows stuck in their bodies ordered by Leki's forehead, and rushed madly towards the two enemies - in fact, this is just ot used to lure monsters!
The moment he stepped out of the cave, without the slightest delay, the flame in the palm of Leki's right hand was instantly thrown to the upper right 32° direction, and then the brilliant flames exploded in that direction, accompanied by ugly screams and roars! Before these cavemen came to their senses, Leitch had already spread the dragon's wings and moved to the enemy's place, only to see a few bright scratches appear in the darkness, and when Bill and the others rushed out of the cave, the place had already returned to calm.
Leitch looked to the left front, where there stood a graceful figure, and with his eyesight, he could clearly see several corpses lying crookedly under the dark shadow—apparently, Davis had also dealt with the enemy cleanly!
When Mavis walked towards Leitch's location, she found that the latter seemed to be contemplative, which made her laugh and said, "Even if there are a few fish that slip through the net, it's not surprising, right? After all, the tear gas agent is not pervasive!"
"I know," Retch replied casually, but then saw him shake his head, "but that's not what I'm thinking. ”
"Oh, what are you thinking? Why don't you say it and let us refer to it for you?"
Looking at Davis's expectant gaze, Leitch certainly understood that the other party had good intentions, and that they were all her cronies, so she would make this kind of suggestion without hesitation.
Ratchey didn't refuse, he bent down to pick up the bow used by ordinary crypt people, and asked, "What do you think this is?"
"Isn't this just a bow?" Arthur wondered after a few glances. The eyes of the Lyra Patrol Guards were similar to Arthur's, and they obviously couldn't understand why the Viscount could be in a daze for a long time when he saw such an ordinary bow?!
Lawski also picked up a cryptman's bow from the ground, and carefully studied it for a long time before he considered: "To be precise, this is not a real bow, because it has not been cast by blacksmith skills, it is just a rough polishing of raw materials - a bow of this level is not even as lethal as a 'bow embryo' of the same level!"
Those present did not doubt Lawski's words, because they all knew - this storm dwarf was a real blacksmith as well as a dwarven warrior!
"But even if it's like what Lawski said, what's so suspicious about this? At most, it just means that the Cryptmen's skills in the field of blacksmithing are extremely rude?" Squadron Leader Niza, who had always been taciturn, couldn't help but interject at this time.
Leitch didn't pay attention to everyone's puzzled eyes, but said lightly: "You have forgotten one thing, even if these are just rubbish that can't even compare to the 'bow embryo', but they can indeed be regarded as a bow! And in this world, who can pull a high-grade bow?"
"Ranger!" Schott said.
"Yes, it's only the Ranger! There are so many Ranger in this world - Human Ranger, Elven Ranger, Dwarven Ranger, Demon Archer, even the skeleton shelf has an Archer! But have you ever heard of kobold archers? Have you ever heard of lizardman archers? Have you ever heard of birdman archers?"
Leech's series of 'can be' immediately stopped everyone, and some people's eyes began to show a look of thought, but more of them were puzzled.
"But what does that prove?" Davis couldn't help but say.
"The Book of Storms, the Book of the Most High Gods, enshrined in the depths of the Storm Temple, has the following sentence written in it - all intelligent races can enjoy the protection of the Lord!"
"In other words, if you are not among the 'intelligent races' identified by the Lord of the Storm, there is no way that there will be an awakened person like the Ranger?!!, then Lord Viscount suspects that these crypt people may have been the same intelligent race as us humans?!" Short said with a deep shock.
Leitch didn't answer directly this time, but said lightly: "Who knows." ”
But even so, everyone couldn't help but be greatly shocked by Schott's speculation. But in fact, Leitch thinks much more than Short speculated!
As Short said, the Ranger system is indeed very special, and there are not many of them in Andrew's world, but there is an absolute limit to the races that can be formed - only the 'intelligent race'! This is why, among the races of the Gnolls and Kobolds, there are no Gnoll archers, or Gnoll Rangers!
On the other hand, it is not surprising to see mages or sacrifices among the Cryptmen—in fact, there are very few races in Andrew's world that have no spellcasters at all, such as dwarves!
In Reich's mind, perhaps as Short had guessed, the Cryptmen had indeed been protected by the Storm Lord in the same years as the human race, and even today! But there is no doubt that the Storm Lord's protection of the Cryptmen is undoubtedly fading, and if this continues, one day, the Cryptmen will become like the Gnolls, and there will be no more archers!
The blessing fades, or the power is deprived!
This is undoubtedly terrifying - all the awakened today, except for the mage, have great powers, which are essentially derived from various divine blessings, such as the Star Soul Warriors, from the blessing of the God of War, such as the NightBlade, which is the Son of Darkness, the servant of the Lord of Darkness, and the Dwarven Warriors, which is the grace of the Earth God......
What would it be like if one day, the power in the Awakened was withdrawn by the gods who were high up in the sky?!Maybe it would be like a riverbed that has been drained of water, and all that remains is the sludge that gradually dries up under the sun......
This is not an unfounded fantasy, the arcane explosion that Raidy experienced not long ago was the epitome of this terrible hypothesis - all the blood-streaked warriors were transformed into the kind of weird-looking Red Knights overnight, nay, even in a moment!
Unconsciously, Leitch couldn't help but resound that the race to which he belonged, the Ankara people, 20,000 years ago, were all called the Kara people, just like the yellow-skinned country in the north!
From the bottom of his heart, although Leqi has not experienced the dark history of Ankara people being contemptuously called Ankara by the Kara people, he instinctively dislikes the empire in the north, and he also dislikes the man who later broke through to become a god;
Maybe the god-making plan did not succeed, at least not completely, but it is undeniable that it was a mortal cry to the gods! That kind of courage must not be insulted, ignored, or overstepped! If the god-making plan is really successful, what kind of situation will the current Blanca continent be?!
It is worth mentioning that the Battle of Twilight triggered by the God-making Project is the only time in Andrew's world that has been clearly recorded in the past 30,000 years - a God War invaded by a god who was so powerful and unpredictable that he invaded with his true body!
Also, at the moment when he created the first dragon roar warrior, there was also a god's gaze on this side of the world!
Perhaps, whether it was the former god-making plan or the dragon roar warrior he created, in the dark, he offended a realm that mortals should not touch......
