Chapter 497: Decision II

At Tanan's suggestion, Ricky slowly told the story of the battle.

"At that time, the unusual chirps of the Thunderbirds let me know that there was a creature flying at high speed in the air. Since I had just finished a battle with the mages, I didn't let the Thunderbirds take a closer look, so I led them after them. ”

"With the pendant given by Lord Tanan, even if the flying creature is extremely fast, it can't beat the thunderbird blessed by the treasure, and after a while, the thunderbird catches up with the flying creature in the air and fights it."

"It wasn't until after the battle began, that I discovered the anomaly of this flying creature, but it was too late, and it was also at this time that these thunderbirds beside me were affected by the mage on the flying creature and fell into an abnormal state, and Talvich also issued a warning to me of danger."

"In order to deal with this creature, and the mages it contains, I can only ask Talvic to channel chain lightning with all my might, hoping to kill it in this way."

"In order to avoid the uncontrolled chain of lightning, I had to choose to distance. But in my perception, it was clear that Talvic had completed the channeling of the chain lightning, and the mages and flying creatures in the air should die, but I eventually lost my perception of Talvic. ”

From Ricky's mouth, Tanan had a general idea of the battle he had fought, but in his description, Tanan still had an extremely important thing that he didn't figure out.

Facing Ricky, Tanan asked, "What are the characteristics of the flying creature that the mage is riding?" ”

The question Tanan asked undoubtedly brought Ricky back into recollection, and based on what he had observed with the Thunderbird, Ricky replied:

"The flying creature was so large that even Talvich couldn't match it. What made me uncomfortable was that there was no flesh or blood on its body, and its entire body seemed to be made of bones, and it was covered in the magic of the mage. ”

"I've never seen a creature like this, but I'm sure it's a new golem created by a mage."

Due to his cognition, Ricky, who had been living in Croude in the past, had never heard of any description of dragons, nor did he know about the existence of necromancers, so he regarded the ghost dragon that had fought with him before as a kind of golem puppet made by a mage.

Unlike Ricky, Tanan has a certain knowledge of these creatures due to his travels throughout the continent. After listening to Ricky's description of the ghost dragon, Tanan immediately recognized the mage's identity as he remembered the information he had obtained earlier.

After listening to Ricky's description, Tanan's original doubts were answered, but with it, more new doubts followed.

Seeing that Tanan didn't reply for a while, Ricky thought that his description was not clear, so Tanan couldn't confirm the type of flying creature.

At this time, Ricky was just about to supplement the situation of the flying creature and provide more information to Tanan, but suddenly a small chirp disrupted Ricky's thoughts.

It was one of the thunderbirds that existed on the earth that made this call.

Although it has been in a state of rapid aging, by now, this ptarmigone's consciousness has gradually awakened.

Under the effect of aging, the ptarmigan's song is no longer loud, but instead there is a feeling of weakness.

Just from the sound of the Thunderbirds, Ricky could realize that the Thunderbirds were in a very bad state, so he didn't care about reporting more to the hero Tanan, but immediately pleaded to Tanan:

"Please also ask Lord Tanan to show the true ability of the forbidden magic orb and save these thunderbirds."

To Ricky's surprise, Tanan shook his head and did not accede to Ricky's request.

With the example of the heroic ogre in front of him, Tanan knew that he couldn't restore the aging state of these thunderbirds as Ricky thought.

According to the ability of the forbidden orb, at most, it can only expel the remnants of the Nether Dragon Breath on these Thunderbirds, so that they will not age further, but they cannot restore their aging bodies.

Looking at Ricky, who was extremely puzzled, even disappointed, and even a little angry in front of him, Tanan seemed to be able to feel his feelings for these thunderbirds, so he said:

"I can only remove the state of these thunderbirds so that they will not continue to age, but I can't restore them to their original strength."

"Judging from the state of these ptarmigans at this time, compared with ordinary ptarmigans, they are already in their old age, and even if they are lifted from the state of aging, they will not be able to survive for long."

"I have lost the ability to spew lightning, which I am proud of, and I don't even have the ability to fly in the air, and I have to face it instead, and I have to face it in a state of extreme aging."

"I don't think even if I get rid of their aging state, these ptarmigans themselves don't want to face this situation."

When Tanan said this, Ricky took the plight of these Thunderbirds in front of him and turned his gaze back to them.

At this moment, the subtle chirping of the thunderbirds came out again, and this time, Ricky could clearly feel a trace of sadness and a hint of request from the chirping of these thunderbirds.

Ricky, who has a heart with the Thunderbird, naturally understands what the hint of request that appears in the Thunderbird's chirp means, and for a while, Ricky doesn't know how to appease these Thunderbirds.

Just as Ricky was in a panic, Tanan made the first move. Tanan walked up to the ptarmigans, and then leaned down.

Ricky, who was in a panic, didn't realize Tanan's action, and by the time Ricky came back to his senses, Tanan had already straightened up again and came to Ricky.

At this point, Tanan handed over what he was holding in his hand. Ricky subconsciously reached out to take it, only to see that what Tanan handed him were three feathers that were no longer shiny.

"Bring them. If you can make it back to Krulrod alive, let the souls of these three ptarmigans return to the arms of their ancestors. ”

"The fate of these three thunderbirds has long been doomed, you have to remember that it is precisely because of the existence of the mage that these thunderbirds have to die!"

"If you feel resentful about this, it is better to vent the resentment in your heart into the next war, avenge the dead thunderbirds, and kill more mages!"

"I believe that this is what the souls of these Thunderbirds want to see."

Under Tanan's persuasion, Ricky is also infected by it, and finally no longer basks in the grief of the imminent death of these Thunderbirds.

Just as Tanan said, at this time, Ricky had completely put the hatred generated by the death of the Thunderbird on those mages.

Even if Ricky knew that he didn't have the ability to avenge the powerful mage in the sky on behalf of these dead thunderbirds, he was able to pour out his hatred on ordinary mages.

At this moment, Ricky truly understood Tanan's thoughts, and why Tanan insisted on leading the army to launch an attack on Brakada, the mage country.

At this time, even if these three thunderbirds are left with only one ending, death. Even if they were alive, they would only suffer from more aging, and even then, Ricky would not be able to do anything to them.

Although there is a lot of resentment towards the mage in his heart, Ricky still feels panicked when he looks at these thunderbirds waiting for death.

After a few brief words of entrustment to the hero Tanan, Ricky left the three ptarmigans here and quickly left.

As soon as Ricky left, Tanan opened his eyes and fell into deep thought.

During the conversation with Ricky, Tanan deliberately concealed one thing, that is, in Tanan's mind, he had actually guessed the identity of the enemy who was fighting with Ricky.

In Tanan's impression, the enemy didn't seem to be an ordinary mage, but in the process of talking, Tanan deliberately directed Ricky's hatred to the ordinary mage.

"Rhodes...... Ghost Dragon Knight......"

When Ricky left, Gurlo, who was next to Tanan, heard Tanan's whispering to himself.

At this moment, there was a flash of essence in Gu Luo's eyes, but it disappeared in an instant, even the hero Tanan, who had a keen sense, did not notice this.
