Act 50: The Wolf's Cup (6,000 Recommended Votes Plus Update!)
"What?"
Grandia was startled when she saw Rosen's dagger facing her, and almost fell off the fountain, but she was pulled by Rosen again to stabilize her figure. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"This mechanism needs to be activated by the power of the bloodline, so I need the blood of the Ulysses family. ”
Lawson said that although he still didn't understand what kind of principle could activate this mechanism with a specific blood, since the [Identification] skill told him to do so, he had no choice but to copy it, after all, there was no other way at the moment.
"Well, I see. ”
Grantia nodded, silently extending her left hand.
The sharp dagger slashed across the white jade-like fingers of the noble daughter, oozing blood.
The monsters around them didn't know what they were stimulated, and at the same moment they became even more violent, and they changed from their previous well-organized offensive to completely losing their minds and only knowing how to charge forward, which once made the defense line on the verge of collapse.
However, it was Gascoigne who saved this crisis, the snow-white hair of the old knight's long sword wielding, and the passive manifestation of Aster's military swordsmanship and the elements of the pinnacle of black iron, making Gascoigne like a heavily armored knight in full armor, standing alone in the wave of monsters, unmoving.
"Ahh ”
Grandia's blood dripped onto the gray wolf's head, and the warm blood immediately seeped into the long-dried stone sculpture, and was quickly absorbed.
Then, only a low chirp was heard, and the wolf's head glowed with a green light.
"Get out of the way. ”
Rosen picked up Grantia and jumped to the side before the fountain collapsed.
"Whew!"
Still shy about Rosen's sudden impolite behavior, Grantia obediently closed her mouth when she saw what was in front of her.
It was a stone pillar.
Similar to the Great Hall, but more ancient, the obsidian pillars were topped by a disc surrounded by seven wolf heads, empty but faintly exuding a wondrous power.
Without saying a word, Rosen directly activated the [Identification] skill, and he didn't have time to do any more archaeological work.
The system menu pops up, displaying the information of the stone pillar.
【Wolf's Cup】
【???】
【Tinder container】
[Legend has it that the goddess once ordered craftsmen to create seventy-two chalices containing primordial fire, and this may be one of them]
[Named after the wolf, this cup needs the blood of the Winter Wolf Lord as fuel to light up]
[Abide by the ancient oath to illuminate the way of the future]
"Wolf blood?"
The moment Rosen saw the explanation, he was a little confused.
Descriptions of the goddess aside, it was clear that although this thing could ignite a fire, it needed fuel from the blood of the winter wolf.
And it's not the blood of an ordinary winter wolf, it has to be the winter wolf lord.
Outside of the legendary frost, the head wolf Siv has died at the hands of the wolf herder Reed Gray, and the remaining winter wolves have lost their owners but have not been scattered, most of them are under the command of their own minor lords, and in general, one winter wolf lord can control three hundred winter wolves.
That's almost the number of winter wolves that will appear in a small magic tide!
In other words, this magic tide in the Eternal Night Forest was most likely set off by the unknown Winter Wolf Lord.
This is not easy to do, Rosen thought, if he can kill the wolf, then this demon tide will not be a threat, this is simply a paradoxical starting condition.
"What's the matter, Mr. Rosen. ”
Grantia subconsciously wanted to reach out and drip her blood again, but was immediately blocked by Lawson.
"It's useless, it needs the blood of the Winter Wolf Lord to ignite, this is the wolf cup made by the goddess to hold the primordial fire, once it is ignited, I am afraid that it will be able to solve more than this demon tide. ”
Rosen could imagine what it would be like if the thing in front of him actually worked, not to mention that Bunajn would not have to worry about being attacked by the demon tide for at least a hundred years, and his territory would extend much further to the Eternal Night Forest.
Once the fire is lit, it brings great benefits to Bunajien.
It's no wonder that the cultists will trick the people of Regios City into obstructing it, if Bunagien succeeds, then Regios will fall completely, and the cultists will not want to see the Land of Order expand for the first time in the millennia of jihad.
"Winter, Winter Wolf Lord!?"
Grantia had only heard of such an existence in the stories of scaring disobedient children as a child, and in her impression, a winter wolf lord was almost equivalent to the lord of Bunajien, and it was even more difficult to kill such a monster than to ascend to the sky.
What's more, it would be very difficult to find the leading Winter Wolf in this vast tide of demons, these monsters are extremely cunning, and they will not fight only by instinct like demonized cuneiformes or bloodthirsty beasts.
"But maybe. ”
Lawson pondered for a moment, looked at the rampaging monster on the battle line, and continued.
"You see, these monsters are clearly more frantic than before, and I suspect that the appearance of this wolf's cup is the cause of these monsters' irritability. ”
In fact, it should be Grantia's blood to chase its origin, but Lawson didn't go into too much detail, he thought that these monsters must have felt a potential threat to become so agitated, and if this continues, the elusive winter wolf lord may also appear early.
Before Lawson could say more, he heard a loud bang, and a scorching fire erupted from the defensive front, causing a commotion.
It's Gascoigne.
The old knight seemed to be fighting some monster, and he swung five swords in a row, swinging a fiery slash, but the enemy deftly dodged it, as if he was on par with Gascoigne's strength.
"Really?"
Rosen focused his perception and extended it towards Gascoige's location, but before he could probe the details of the other party, he heard a heart-rending muscle cracking sound, and saw Gascoigne covering his right hand with a painful expression.
And his right hand, from the forearm down, was already a blur of blood.
With his left hand clenched, Gascoigne tried to fight back, but the ensuing hoarfrost froze his legs and made it difficult for him to move.
In the next second, a winter wolf as tall as a hill rushed out of the smoke and dust, and the bloody mouth was blocked by the old knight's sword, but Gascoin himself was still knocked away by the huge impact.
"Shhhh
One could hear the people present couldn't help but let out an exclamation.
That's Leonard Gascoigne, the former captain of the Bunagine's guard, the strongest force in Ultramarine Fortress, and the swordsman of the pinnacle of Black Iron!
And the tall winter wolf on the hill in front of him, one eye has long been blinded, and only terrifying flesh and blood are left on his left front leg as if it is corroded, but the aura emanating from its body makes everyone feel a chill like winter is coming.
Black Iron Peak...... No!
The Black Iron Steps present quickly understood what they were seeing.
This is the Winter Wolf Lord, a bronze-level monster!!
