Chapter 49

In the makeshift command room perched on the highest rock wall in Greyvae, Battlemage Alston had already left behind the monitoring of the Crystal Mirror, and he and the Resident Commander were both gathered around Sir Adari, desperately reporting on the plan for the operation and his admiration for him.

This time the secret joint operation with the dwarves and Westerners was getting out of control, which made the two nominally highest-ranking governors tremble, and the crazy dwarf repeated the nonsense, making it more and more clear to them that they didn't really have the strength to control the situation. But now that the old knight has joined, all the crises seem to have been solved.

Even if the whole is already a puddle of mud, many soldiers of the Northern Legion still have a vague spiritual totem in their hearts, that is, this Lord Adari. This is a real military man. A native of the West Coast, he joined the Northern Legion as a teenager and rose through the ranks to become an elite Arcane warrior during the glorious Age of Empires, and then to become one of the top echelons of the Legion after the fall of the Empire. He is self-disciplined, brave and selfless, always at the forefront of the frontline, slaughtering countless monsters and dwarves with his own hands during the ten years of natural disasters, and is a well-known hero on the entire West Coast. It is no exaggeration to say that both the Resident Commander and the Alstom Mage have almost all grown up listening to the stories of Sir Adari.

"Sir Sir, you have always been my idol, and I am so glad to see you today. I still remember when I was eight years old, you led a team to stop the tide of beasts that came out of the mountains and marched south, and I watched you return victoriously with people at the gate of the fortress......"

"Lord Sir, I remember that you came to give us battle mages a lesson, and I still have your notes from the lessons..."

"We're so grateful to have you here to support us this time..."

"As long as you're here, those dwarves and Westerners will be under control, no matter how much they toss. Here's what we planned......"

In fact, when people mature, the idols of the past will become the same thing as the toys of the past, and you can remember it when you see it by chance, and what should you do in the end. The Commander and Alston grew up listening to the old sir's stories, but in reality, they also secretly ridiculed the old man's antiquity. Now this enthusiasm is due to the fact that they have not forgotten to make the old knight a legend, not only because of his resume and military qualities, but also because he is the last arcane warrior of the Northern Legion.

Even in the Age of Empires, Arcane Warriors were truly elite troops. In the post-imperial era, when many archmages died, countless arcane knowledge was lost, and even the magic web was damaged, it was a great power that no one could ignore. If it weren't for the lack of means of maintenance and maintenance, which prevented the old knight from using all his combat power regularly, there was no doubt that he would have become the commander of the Northern Legion.

So this old knight can rush here at this time, which is really a great support for them who lack core combat power. Especially looking at the strange shape of the old sir, the arcane armor carved with too many arcane patterns and some like a handicraft, the eyes of the commander and the mage Alstom were shining, as if a young man who had lived alone in the primeval forest for eighteen years saw the opposite sex for the first time.

Old Sir Adari did not react to the enthusiasm of the two local magistrates, he still had the look of the same veteran, and listened to their reports with a serious but attentive face, asking two questions from time to time. When he basically understood what had happened in the past few days, his attention shifted to the monitoring mirror. He stepped forward and fiddled with it twice, and the displayed image was enlarged and pulled out into a three-dimensional illusory image, on which the flickering points of light also appeared in different colors.

"Huh... Hey... Sir Sir you... How do you do this? I don't know?" Mage Alstom was dumbfounded, he was more or less a mid-level figure in the Northern Legion, and he had some experience in manipulating this kind of monitoring crystal, but he didn't know that he could make such an effect. Such a detailed and three-dimensional presentation is many times clearer than what he had seen before.

"The full function of the monitoring circle requires the operator to touch the magic net, and the highest effect needs to be connected to the six rings, so you can't use it. ”

The old knight's brief answer left Master Alstom speechless. He could only look at the Arcane Armor on the old sir's body with greed, this masterpiece of the Age of Empires not only allows the user to touch a deeper magic web, but also shortens the cast time and activates several powerful arcane items hidden inside, which are simply children's toys in the ordinary sense. It's a pity that this armor is bound to the user at the soul level, and others can't use it at all. And after losing the delicate means of maintenance, every use is actually overdrawing the user's mind and body, such as the age of Lord Adari, the number of times it can be used is already a handful.

The old jazz quietly scanned each point of light on the stereoscopic surveillance, and suddenly, a point of light that quickly broke into the surveillance image attracted his attention.

Not only Sir Adari saw it, but the Resident Commander and Alston saw it too, for it was clearly visible from the sky in this enlarged and detailed stereoscopic image.

"What is this?" the Resident Commander and Master Alstom were still stunned, trying to discern the thing, when Old Sir Adari turned and rushed to the window. With a bang, the small window obviously couldn't let the burly old knight pass through smoothly, and it could only turn into a huge hole after a muffled sound, and countless large and small stones rushed out with the tall body of the old knight bear.

"Lord Sir!" The Resident Commander and Master Alstom's minds were almost blank in shock, the old Sir could have such a cat-like reaction did surprise them, but what was even more surprising was that the old Sir seemed to have forgotten that this was a stone chamber carved out of the highest mountain wall, not an ordinary barracks, and that there was a cliff hundreds of meters high outside.

Countless large and small rubbles rolled down, but the burly body of the old knight only paused slightly in the air, and then flew out like a falcon, drawing an arc in the air, looking at the direction of the object that broke into the monitoring range.

"Instantaneous Flight! It's an Arcane Warframe!" Alston sighed with emotion, and the wrinkles on his face were glowing. For a battle mage who was reluctant to cast a fourth-order arcane, the scene of instantaneous six-ring arcane, the most difficult of the six-ring arcane, could be called a dream.

"What's flying over there? Seems to be a flying mage?" the Resident Commander struggled to stretch his neck from under the fat, leaning against the broken wall and looking that way.

Hundreds of meters in the air, Sir Adari stopped in front of the uninvited guest who flew in.

Looking at the slightly thin young man in front of him, the old sir was only slightly surprised, and asked in a hoarse voice, "Is that you? What are you doing here?"

"I came by order of the Elder. It would be great that you were here, Lord Sir. The thin mage floating in the air was none other than the Revival mage Stephanie, who was in a hurry to come from the south, and when she saw Sir Adari, her anxious expression was also soothed.

"Did Julia ask you to oversee it? No, I've already arranged for you what you want. Sir Adari waved his hand, his voice full of exhaustion and dead silence, like that of an old man who was about to die. "So you go back, a curtain call for veterans, a place where the legion burns carrion, and I don't want outsiders to be there. ”

"No, it's not Mistress Julia, it's that the Elder has a secret mission. ”

"Griffin, what qualifies him to be the president...... Waitβ€”" Sir Adari's old eyes flashed, and his voice became a little more angry. β€œ... Could it be... His Highness Gaisidy?"

"Yes. Stephanie pouted. This kind of title for the old man of the empire made her a little unaccustomed.

"What you said is true?" said Sir Adari's voice, which was much heavier and more serious.

"Of course. Although the association has not officially announced the mission, it is only the process that has not yet arrived. But that's exactly what President Gasidy said to me personally. Otherwise, why would I have rushed from Oroyusta with a scroll of eight chapters of flying arts?"

"Okay. The old knight straightened his back, and a kind of vitality and momentum that had gradually dissipated in him returned. "What does Your Highness command?"

###

"Not seeing each other for a day is like three autumns. I haven't seen him for a few days, and Mr. Feng has even changed his appearance. He also got the identity of a Wende mage. ”

In a remote uninhabited room in the station, Mu Qinyi said with a smile to Feng Yinqiu, who had just returned, in Shenzhou dialect. No one in this station could understand Shenzhou, and the aristocratic demeanor of that Mage Dundell could not come to listen to them, which made her feel less scrupulous.

"It's just a little trick to hide people's ears. Feng Yinqiu replied lightly. "Time is pressing, Fairy Mu has something to say. ”

"You're a bit boring. Mu Qinyi gave him a blank look and asked, "What's the matter with the Shenzhou Dao method you used continuously? Could it be that you have already found the trick to be able to perform the Dao method normally?"

"No, I can't. It can only be avoided from backlash, and the effect of the Dao Law is still a mess. Feng Yinqiu shook his head. "It's just that I've been studying the European Dao method for a while, and I just have a little experience. ”

"Then can you please tell Mr. Feng these experiences? Mu Qinyi didn't seem to mean to let him finish in a few words.

"Fairy Mu, you are now taking the path of the Divine Dao, and you are thrown into the torrent of heaven and earth..."Feng Yinqiu paused and sighed. "It's okay, I won't hide it, just talk nonsense, you can listen to it. ”

β€œ...... Compared to my Shenzhou, the laws of heaven and earth are slightly different from each other, but in fact, it is mainly because of the ubiquitous magic net. Although it is somewhat similar to your Five Elements Sect's Resident Formation, it is too much higher in nature, and it has almost completely been mixed with the entire heaven and earth. It can affect not only the earth, water, fire, and wind, but also the spirit and soul of people, and almost everything in the universe is all-encompassing. It is almost impossible to bypass the magic net and use your own divine soul to attract the power of heaven and earth, and this magic net is designed to be precise and grand, but it does not have the atmosphere of the real heavenly dao that mixes all things, but it is somewhat similar to ...... Some of them are like ...... It's like a creation of a machine, and it can't tolerate any foreign objects with different rules. ”

"The cloud pattern mind of my Shenzhou Dao Law, although there are certain rules and regulations, but it is not immutable, as long as the spiritual momentum arrives, it is okay to have some differences in subtleties, but this Euroo law is different. The basic moire patterns that construct spells in the magic net - here called the arcane basic circuit are fixed, and they can only be directly outlined and filled with spirit, so we cast the Shenzhou Dao method, which is equivalent to people who are completely ignorant of spells but want to forcibly cast spells, and are directly rejected by the magic net. That's why the Dao is distorted beyond recognition, and the soul will be shocked and injured. ”

After a pause, Feng Yinqiu added: "Of course, this is only the arcane art under the seven rings, which is what we call the case of the acquired Dao method. There seems to be a different scenery above the innate, but I can't see through it for the time being. ”

"......I see," Mu Qinyi nodded slightly. "But you still haven't said how you used to perform the Dao method repeatedly without being counterattacked. ”

"Because seriously, I'm not casting spells, I'm just drawing talismans. I had already withdrawn before the rune shattered and collapsed, and naturally I was not subject to backlash. Speaking of which, this Euroo method is too rigorous and thorough, but it is quite troublesome and troublesome when drawing into a scroll, it is not as good as my Shenzhou Dao Law as long as the cultivation realm is enough, a little spiritual light is a charm. ”

"The void is condensed, and the mind is formed. is such a profound talisman cultivation, Mr. Feng turned out to be from an authentic sect, and his teacher is probably even more rare in the world. Mu Qinyi smiled meaningfully.

Feng Yinqiu didn't seem to see it, but just asked with a straight face: "Fairy Mu, I don't know what the specific situation you said about meeting those Shenzhou ethnic groups and revenge cults before? How did you fall into the hands of the dwarves, can you tell me?"

Mu Qinyi sighed, found a wooden stool and sat down, and said, "Okay, it was so ...... at that time"

Feng Yinqiu stood aside, quietly listening to Mu Qinyi's narration with an expressionless face. Mu Qinyi also said in great detail, from the day she walked all the way to the sea, how she met the floating island at the mouth of the river, how she saw the remnants of Taizheng who lived in seclusion, until she was knocked down by the high priest Mr. Qiu and sent to the dwarves to be taken into custody, she said in detail, and even the dwarf leader gathered his subordinates to try to commit violence against her. Feng Yinqiu didn't speak most of the time, only asking a few words when he talked about the high priest, Mr. Qiu, and his fabricated face was always stiff.

"It seems that even if the heavens and the earth are different, some places are also the same way, so Fairy Mu, your body of water path method can be transformed into a water element divine path in a day. Although he was too diligent this time, his soul was almost completely submerged and assimilated by the torrent of heaven and earth, and he was seriously injured by the backlash. But it can also be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and you can get a glimpse of the great realm of turning into water. In the future, as long as the sacrificial rituals are re-completed and the foundation is solid, Fairy Mu will definitely be able to do a lot on this water element Shinto. ”

"Listening to your old-fashioned tone, it's like a senior in the rivers and lakes is guiding the backwards. Mu Qinyi grinned. "Well, thank you too, the little woman. ”

Feng Yinqiu groaned for a moment, and suddenly said, "How much do you know about the secret passage in the belly of the mountain where those dwarves are hiding?"

"I only came out of there after I became an element, and during this time, I have been to many places where I have been incarnated and flowing water. I can't remember exactly what I experienced, but I still know where I went. I still know the general situation in the belly of this mountain. ”

"Then tell me about the dwarves' hiding places, and where the cultists are hiding, do you know where they are?"

"I don't know about the cultists. Mu Qinyi shook his head, and then suddenly smiled again. "But I can find a way to find it for you, and it seems that you really miss those people. Aren't you going to just wait here? Anyway, it won't be long before they'll come to the door on their own. ”

"But I'm afraid that when the time comes, you will find that you are not waiting for the rabbit, but sitting and waiting. Rather than waiting, there is a chance to do it first. ”

"Alright then, I'll try casting a spell first...... It just so happens that what you just said is also quite inspiring to me, why don't we join forces to try it, my Five Elements Sect's Water Movement Fu Fa Feng should be able to, right? Do you want me to teach you first..."

###

In the large warehouse in the belly of the mountain, the high priest of the Vengeance God Cult, sitting cross-legged in the midst of a crowd of cultists, opened his eyes and looked up.

The air seemed to be quite humid, and at some point the rocky dome above my head condensed a lot of small droplets like dew. Gradually, some small droplets of water could not bear to drip down and fell on the heads of the disciples below, so that those disciples couldn't help but look up.

The High Priest stood up, stretched out his hand, and gently flicked it, just to catch a drop of water that had fallen. The droplets did not spread out on the high priest's fingers, but remained round. The high priest looked at it, rubbed the droplets of water into a stain on his fingertips with a slight rubbing of his fingers, and then put it under his nose and sniffed it.

After a long pause, as if pondering for a while, the high priest opened his mouth and said to a middle-aged man who looked like a religious leader next to him, "Tell everyone to be careful and don't walk around." By the way, also go and warn those dwarves, there may be guests. ”
