Chapter 323: Kuroshio
"That's the Necro Warrior. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Lei Qi said lightly.
"Necromantic Warrior, Viscount, this is the second time you've mentioned the term, what exactly is a Necro Warrior? Could it be a variant of the Skeleton Warrior?" the old urchin stared at Leitch with interest, and the questions in his mouth kept squirting out like cannonballs.
Ratchet shook his head and said, "The Necro Warrior is not a variant of the Skeleton Warrior, in fact, it is a product of necromantic magic. ”
"Necromancy?" Hearing the word, the old urchin's expression suddenly became grim, and he said in a deep voice, "It seems that this accident is much more serious than we originally expected!"
Lei Qi shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's not just serious, if you don't get it right, it will even cause a black tide!"
"Shhh
Hearing this, the old urchin's eyes shrank suddenly, and he looked at Leqi in disbelief, his eyes were full of disbelief and even horror! Being able to scare a war lord like this shows how terrible the 'black tide' in Leqi's mouth is!
Davis and Bond hadn't heard of any 'Kuroshio', but seeing that the old urchin was scared like this, they also realized the seriousness of the matter, Davis looked at Leitch and said, "What is Kuroshio?"
"The Black Tide is a racial catastrophe created through black magic. ”
"Racial catastrophe?" Davis was a little unimpressed at first, but now he was taken aback.
"If it's really Kuroshio, Viscount's statement is by no means an exaggeration!" After Leitch mentioned the word 'Kuroshio', the old urchin's face was no longer relaxed, and he said in a deep voice, "As for the specifics, it's up to the Viscount, the authentic mage." ”
"Have you heard of the Sphinx?" Reich didn't explain directly, instead asking a seemingly unrelated question.
Davis frowned and thought about it, and then said with a hint of excitement: "Are you talking about the King of Zhennan, who is known as one of the four great generals of Emperor Nicholas?!"
"Looks like my queen is very knowledgeable," Leitch complimented with a smile, of course, in exchange for a proud hygienic eye from Davis, "You're right, I'm talking about the Sphinx." ”
"The Sphinx was born from the Sphinx, a race with the same faces as ours, but they have a lion-like body. It can be said that judging from their appearance alone, this race is even closer to beasts than most orc races! However, because of their extraordinary wisdom and developed cultural craftsmanship, they have always been ranked with other intelligent races on the continent! Especially when the Sphinx King followed Nicholas the Great to conquer the continent together, made countless achievements, and was finally knighted and guarded the Storm Mountain Range in the south of the continent, which made the prestige of this race reach its peak!"
"The face of a man, the body of a lion?, interesting, but how come I have never heard of this race?" was attracted by what Leitch said, the old urchin's originally tense face had unconsciously stretched, and at this moment he was really staring at Leitch, and sure enough, the child's heart did not change.
Leitch smiled and shook his head, "It's not surprising that you haven't heard of it, because this race has long since died out. ”
"It's a pity, I wanted to see this kind of freak. The old urchin shook his head, looking quite pitiful, but suddenly he stared at Leitch in horror and said, "Hey, what you just said about the racial catastrophe should be the unlucky guy of the Sphinx, right?!"
"It's about them, but there's much more to the racial catastrophe I'm talking about. ”
Seeing that Lei Qi nodded and shook his head again, the old urchin couldn't help but say madly: "I said Lord Viscount, can you finish the words at once?!"
"I wasn't interrupted by you!" Leitch didn't speak, but Davis glared at him viciously first, and the old urchin could only secretly sigh that his daughter's arm was turned out, and the aggrieved ones were about to hide aside and draw circles......
"The first Kuroshio in history originated in the Sphinx Peninsula of the southern continent - 2388 in the Fast calendar, when the continent was finally truly unified for the first time under the southern conquest and northern war of Nicholas the Great, and the continent, which had experienced hundreds of years of war and was full of devastation, began to regain vitality under the rule of the Faste royal family, and gradually moved towards prosperity. But in 2388, a catastrophe that surprised everyone suddenly came!"
"According to the records left by eyewitnesses, the Sphinx-faced Peninsula first rushed into the sky with a black light, and then an unknown evil black fog appeared on the peninsula, and then this black fog spread rapidly across the peninsula at a crazy speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than three days, the entire peninsula was completely enveloped! Three days later, the black fog on the peninsula suddenly turned red, and then countless necromantic creatures rushed from the peninsula to all parts of the continent, and the first 'black tide' really broke out!"
"The necromantic creatures that rushed out of the peninsula soon swept through the Storm Mountain Range in the south of the continent and the Seven Kings Realm in the western part of the continent, countless cities were breached, destroyed, and turned into scorched earth, and countless living beings fell under the butcher's knives of those necromantic creatures, and were soon forcibly transformed into necromantic creatures like them! At that time, the Storm Mountain Range and the Seven Kings Realm were full of armies of necromantic creatures that were raging everywhere, like a black tide, and some people used it at that time. Kuroshio' came to call this phenomenon, and as the name spread more and more, it eventually became a generic word. ”
"According to incomplete statistics, the first 'Black Tide' is the most serious disaster in the realm of the Seven Kings and the Storm Mountain Range since before the Battle of Dusk and after the War of the founding of the Fast Empire, the loss of the population in the realm of the Seven Kings has reached thirty percent, and there are dozens of orc races that have died out! Even in the dwarf kingdom hiding underground, there are two dwarf races that have disappeared forever!"
"Hey, I had only vaguely heard that the Black Tide was terrifying, but according to what you said, this can't be described as terrifying at all, it should be despair!" The old urchin said with a dejected face, "If there is really a Black Tide outbreak, then won't this Star Mist Valley be over?!Forget it, let's leave these damn necromantic creatures alone, let's hurry back to the Heavenly Lyre Holy City and organize the people to run away!"
As he spoke, the old urchin really wanted to turn around and leave, and this style of acting out of the way made Leitch smile bitterly. However, Bond's performance surprised Leitch - after hearing Kuroshio's explanation, Bond's face was already pale, and there was a hint of horror in his pupils, but through this horror, Leitch saw a kind of unyielding heroism in his tense face!
This made Leitch smile in his heart - Reich didn't think that this was Bond's sworn loyalty to him, he might be loyal to himself, but in the short period of time, it shouldn't be to that extent, but it wasn't hard to guess what Bond thought in his heart, without him, he just couldn't bear the power in his hands - to let him go back to his old life like an underground rat, he would rather live and die with the Lyra Domain!
In fact, he thought that his men should be tied to the same carriage as himself, and that in addition to their loyalty, interests, volunteers, etc., were also indispensable!
Lei Qi hurriedly said: "Don't worry, we don't know if this is the Black Tide or not, it's really okay, if not, if you shout like this, the territory will have to fall into turmoil!"
"Leitch, let's talk about the conditions for the formation of this black tide. Davis didn't lose his bearings like the old urchin, in fact, at this time, she showed a kind of atmospheric calmness that made people look up to the mountains, Davis said calmly, "According to what you just said, the appearance of the first black tide, from the appearance of the black fog on the Sphinx Peninsula to the transformation of red and eruption, only took a short period of three days, and now the black fog of this chaotic rocky beach has appeared for a full twenty days! Does this mean that this may not actually be a black current or something?"
Davis's composure made a trace of embarrassment flash on Dick's old face, but after all, he was an old naughty child, so he almost instantly put the so-called embarrassment behind him, stared at Leitch excitedly and asked, "Yes, Viscount's niece and son-in-law, is it possible that it is not a black tide at all, but you think too much?!"
The old urchin's attitude made Bond's palms sweat secretly, and he estimated that in this Tianqin territory, this old urchin in front of him was definitely one of the few people who dared to talk to the viscount like this!
"It's possible," Seeing Leitch nodding, the old urchin jumped up happily, and Davis was obviously relieved, but then Leitch said, "Actually, before the Kuroshio really erupts, no one can be 100% sure whether it is the Kuroshio or not! As I just mentioned, the time interval from the appearance of the black fog to the outbreak of the Kuroshio is three days, the second is a month, and the third time is the longest, as long as half a year! So judging whether this is the Kuroshio or not by the time interval will not work at all. ”
"Then there must be some clear signs for the outbreak of this black tide, right?" Davis frowned.
"Yes, there are omens. Leitch nodded, and continued, "This first point is the formation of the black fog, and this black fog is diffuse, just like what we see in front of us, and the second point, there is a steady stream of necromantic creatures in the black fog, and this point is also consistent with the black fog in front of us!"
"It's over, according to you, isn't this 100% an outbreak of the Black Tide?!" the old urchin put on a dejected expression again.
"In my opinion, at least half of the possibilities. Leitch said truthfully.
"Half-likely, it's no smaller than when my mother gave birth to a girl!" said the old urchin's face was even more frustrated.
The corners of the old urchin's mouth twitched at the old urchin's words, and he glanced at the old urchin with an extremely strange look - this thing had just said the law of the ratio of boys to girls that was recognized by the earth science community......
"Leitch, even if this is the real Black Tide, is it possible to successfully kill it before it erupts?!" As Davis asked, the eyes of the old urchin and Bond were equally unblinking.
