Chapter 103: Thunder Core
The enemy flew towards Du Shen from all directions. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info The last few have touched Du Shen's body. Du Shen gave up his plan to attack the last caster. He bent his legs and leaped into the air.
"Bang! poof......" Many knights on the ground crashed into a heap.
Du Shen stepped on the top of a knight's head, borrowing slightly. He flew out diagonally, away from the crowd. Du Shen turned his head in mid-air to take a look. The eight Earth Knights have riddled off the ghouls and are speeding after them. They are more than ten meters away from Du Shen. And those knights, many people in the center fell into a ball. The knight captains on the periphery turned around one after another and pounced on Du Shen as well.
Du Shen was sure that he would kill all the people below. However, there are certain risks associated with doing so. Not so much for fear of injury, but for other ambushes in the temple. If you delay the time by killing the knights below, you can't say that reinforcements from the temple will arrive.
At this time, the core of the thunder succeeded, and Du Shen did not plan to risk his life. He ran out of the mine with all his might.
For being ambushed and assassinated, Du Shen did not have any anger or hatred. It's a matter of time. In his previous life, Du Shen had long been accustomed to it. As for revenge and punishment of the assassins. If the strength is enough, it will naturally be extinct, and if the strength is not enough, it will be long.
In his previous life, so many people hated Du Shen, intending to assassinate him, and even taking action. Du Shen has long developed a strong and open-minded heart. There are so many fleas with malicious intentions, if each one of them spends energy to press to death. Then Du Shen doesn't want to do other things every day.
The experience of his previous life has long made Du Shen develop a step-by-step firmness. Most enemies don't have to be targeted. Just go on according to their own plan, and sooner or later they will be swept up by the general trend and rarely survive.
Unfazed in his heart, Du Shen thought carefully about his memories. In his impression, in his previous life, Deric rebelled and ultimately failed. It stands to reason that he is unlikely to cooperate with the Flame Temple. Otherwise, with the support of the Flame Temple, how could Darek's rebellion fail?
Du Shen wondered, "Is it because the Temple has cooperated with Derrick in the first place?" or is it because I brought new changes?"
As soon as Du Shen thought about it, he left his doubts behind. He didn't care about history, nor did he care if the current Temple was in collusion with Derick. Both sides are enemies anyway. According to Du Shen's plan of action, there happen to be certain actions against them. Du Shen intends to advance these plans and even revise them. This is also a good idea.
Du Shen left the enemy far away and climbed over two hills. He found a dozen wizard subordinates who had been waiting for a long time. Du Shen briefly described the previous encounter to everyone.
The wizards heard that Du Shen had been ambushed by the Elemental Envoy, and that ten of his companions had been killed. The wizards were either agitated or resentful.
There is a wizard who gets to the bottom of it: "My lord, something is wrong. We've been hiding all this time, and it's the first time we've traded with Darik. They don't even know our names or our faces. How can the people of the temple set up an ambush?"
Du Shen didn't really care, and explained casually: "Many times, it's just a coincidence. Perhaps the people of the temple heard that we were trading gargoyles. Because he hated me so much, he would rather kill his mistake than let it go. ā
In fact, Du Shen was careful enough. Before the trade, he had been monitoring the team from the time it set out from the estate. And I searched the mine and the nearby mountains. After confirming that there was no ambush within a radius of several miles, Du Shen showed up to trade. I just didn't expect that the ambush was originally in the carriage. It can only be said that many accidents are indeed impossible to prevent.
"It doesn't matter why the temple is ambushed," Du Shen led the group to the north, "We have our companions killed. This revenge will surely be avenged. The temple is an old enemy, needless to say. But Derrick dared to get involved. We have to make him pay. Let's head north to Purple Rock City first. Of course, we should not be slowed down by hatred, but we can also take revenge according to the plan. ā
The wizards had no objections.
Du Shen was in a hurry while checking his equipment.
Fantasy armament, because Du Shen was once assassinated in the chest by the caster, and suffered a certain amount of damage. But it doesn't matter, the armament that Du Shen originally obtained from the Star Ring Treasury is still there. Just replace it.
It was the forbidden magic robe outside, and Du Shen felt distressed when he saw it. Robes seem to be better at defending against witchcraft attacks. Before, Du Shen rushed to kill in the knights' group, and the robe withstood many long sword attacks. At this time, Du Shen found several tiny holes and cracks in the robe.
The robes were slightly torn, and their protection weakened slightly. Du Shen plans to consult Mario tomorrow night if he can fix it.
Du Shen and the others hurried overnight, and there was little rest during the day the next day. When night fell, Du Shen led everyone to camp. The wizards hurriedly lit a fire and cooked.
The full moon rises, and Du Shen returns to his new territory through the portal. He finds Mario and lets him deal with the Thunder core first. Mario had been prepared for a long time. After a moment of analysis, Mario tossed the resin ball wrapped in Thunder Tinder into a pot of potion. Du Shen put the entire jar into the pendant.
Du Shen asked Mario to look at the forbidden magic robe. Mario had previously conducted a short-term study of the robes. After a brief look, he told Du Shen that it could not be repaired.
After communicating with the higher-ups of Shadow Keep, Du Shen returned to the Thunder Empire through the portal again. He was followed by ten new men.
Almost the last wizard stepped onto the land of the Empire, and the portal behind him flashed a striking red light. Du Shen waited slightly, waited for the space passage to be completely disconnected, and put the portal into the pendant.
The new wizard naturally has someone to guide and take care of. Du Shen got into the exclusive tent alone. He pulls out the medicine jar containing the Thunder Core.
After dozens of minutes of soaking, the resin on the exterior of the Thunder Core had almost dissolved. In the liquid medicine, a finger-thick blue electric light flickered slightly. The liquid medicine can be stored for most of the night at most. After that, the fire will slowly dissipate and will not be able to absorb.
Du Shen didn't dare to waste time, and immediately summoned his own elemental flame. Flames came out of Du Shen's chest, and according to Du Shen's thoughts, he jumped into the medicinal liquid. Although Du Shen had tried his best to reduce the heat of the flame, when the flame was immersed in the liquid medicine, there was still a small amount of water vapor rising.
Du Shen could feel that the flames that had been submerged in the medicinal liquid had been slowly losing energy. Du Shen hurried more quickly. He was engrossed, controlling the flames, trying to envelop the blue core of thunder.
Blue electric light, very slippery. The elemental flames gradually envelop it, and some of the electric light will always leak out. Du Shen started from scratch again and again, as if he was using two fingers to catch a cunning loach. With all his effort, Du Shen reluctantly wrapped the entire ball of electric light in flames.
Du Shen put his hand into the liquid medicine and held the flame. The flame burrowed into the palm of his hand and returned to his chest along Du Shen's arm.
Du Shen walked to the corner, sat cross-legged, and tried his best to digest and absorb the thunder and lightning core. Because it began to be digested, the power of the thunderbolt core overflowed uncontrollably. A little electric current spread all over Du Shen's body. Du Shen gradually felt paralyzed all over his body, and finally even his tongue was obviously numb.
The sky was bright, the thunder and lightning core was depleted, and the feeling of paralysis in the body gradually receded. Du Shen felt to himself and was soon disappointed. Du Shen felt that the fusion was unsuccessful. His own flame element, it is true that it absorbs a large number of thunder cores, but it is not complete. Flame did not fully inherit all the traits of the Thunder Core. Du Shen tries to control the flame splitting. Sure enough, there were only two flames, one was a flame core, and the other was a shadow core. As for the Thunder Core, it was scattered in two flames and could not be expressed alone.
Du Shen checked his own attributes again and found that by fusing the Thunder Core, he failed to improve the slightest attribute.
Du Shen was briefly disappointed and quickly perked up. He thinks things can be remedied. As long as you find another Thunder Core, after digesting it, it is very likely to complete the Thunder Core in the flame.
Du Shen put his hopes on the new emperor of the empire, Yakov.
However, the pseudo-divine power in the bead can be digested for a long time. Du Shen was anxious to complete the Thunder core. Therefore, Du Shen and the others rushed to wear the stars and the moon next, and rarely rested.
Arriving at Ziyan City, the royal capital of the Thunder Empire, Du Shen and the others spent a lot of effort and gold coins to get Yakov's reception.
That evening, Du Shen came to the Chancellor's mansion alone. He walked through the silhouette of the guards, and in a small garden somewhere, he saw Yakov.
Yakov was not alone. Behind him, stood two old men with crane hair and childish faces side by side. One of the old men carried a sword, and the other carried a staff. The two of them looked blank. Under the four walls of the garden, the figures of the silver-armored guards are plastered, and the number is estimated to be no less than eighty.
Du Shen quickly scanned the situation in the garden, and followed the middle-aged waiter to the center of the garden.
Yakov did not get up, but pointed to the wooden chair opposite: "You may be seated, Your Excellency." I heard that you spent a lot of money just to see me in person?"
Du Shen sat down, picked up the teacup that had been placed in front of him a long time ago, and took a sip: "Yes." My real name is Du Shen, and I must have heard of it to Your Majesty? I came to talk to Your Majesty about the rebellion against Uncle Wang. ā
"It turned out to be Your Excellency Du Shen," Yakov smiled faintly, "Before the exchange, I was really curious, how can Your Excellency guarantee that you will not assassinate me?"
Du Shen shook his head and smiled: "Just by virtue of my status in Shadow Castle. If I really want to assassinate Your Majesty, I don't need to come in person, right? King to King, who would be so stupid?"
"So," Yakov's face grew majestic, "how do I know that Your Excellency is the true Second Leader of Shadowkeep?"
"Your Majesty's news seems to be particularly well-informed," Du Shen said with a smile, "Then, Your Majesty should already know that I was once ...... in Oz City."
"Your Excellency Du Shen. An old voice suddenly interrupted Du Shen's words. The voice came from the old man with a staff behind Yakov: "We are basically sure of your true identity. Your Excellency, please come with me. I will take you to the real Majesty. ā
As the old man spoke, Yakov got up and smiled and greeted Du Shen as an equal.
Du Shen got up and pointed to Yakov in front of him in astonishment: "So, who is this?"
The old man with the staff replied expressionlessly: "He is just a stand-in for His Majesty." ā
