Chapter 422: The Bold Elves
The highest-ranking person in the "Spectres" is Thor now, and he has successfully advanced to Sequence 3. But in terms of killing efficiency, Raymond and Anna's methods are obviously much more clever.
Mage is worthy of being the strongest class in traditional monster farming, and the water elemental stripping spell of the natural Devil Fruit is extremely harmful to extraordinary creatures who fail to comprehend the domineering power of the armed color, and harvesting the lives of these low-level orcs is simply efficient.
Wherever Anna went, the water element was stripped clean. Without even casting any other spells, the ugly-looking orcs who rushed in frantically would fall in pieces like wheat harvesting, turning into a dried mummy in an instant.
And Raymond is a fast knife swordsman, and he has also learned a lot of group injury swordsmanship. But when it comes to killing skills, naturally it is not lagging behind. These orcs around Sequence 8 and Sequence 9 can't take a single knife in his hand.
After he got off the boat, the ghost pupil on his waist came out of the sheath, and he turned into a sword qi tornado with his body, breaking into the half-beast crowd, and immediately brought a piece of green blood.
Bite! You have killed an elite orc, gaining potential point 5 and soul strength 003.
Bite! The Demon Sword and Ghost Pupil triggers the Soul Eater effect, Demon 1.
Bite! You have stripped away the broken soul1.
The system prompt also keeps ringing.
However, to Raymond's surprise, killing these "half-orcs" brought him very little soul gain.
Their strength is at the level of low-level human transcendents, but the increase in soul strength that can be systematically determined is only about one percent of that of normal humans!
Peeling it off with the "Heins' Codex" can only get some useless "broken souls".
Raymond thought it might have something to do with the orcs' "making creatures". They had strong bodies, but they had only some almost beastly instincts, not even a full soul.
He didn't think much about it, anyway, they were just some cannon fodder monsters, and they would be killed in pieces with a swing of a knife.
However, what surprised Raymond even more was the change in the Demon Sword Ghost Pupil!
The reason why this magic sword is called "magic sword" is that it has a very evil attribute, that is, "soul devouring", the more you kill, the stronger your sword qi will be. At the same time, the sword master's spiritual erosion will also be more powerful.
When Sodros got this sword, he was eroded by this will to kill, and finally died.
This sword can absorb the negative soul power in the soul of living creatures, such as brutality, greed, murder, and mania, by killing creatures
Raymond's current strength is enough to break the first seal, and the power of using this sword is less than one.
But he killed those "half-orcs" in a group just now, but the system prompt sounded with the attribute prompt of "Demonic 1".
It's a hint that makes Raymond both happy and worried.
Although this "magic" is a hidden attribute, you can't see the data.
But his current perception is extraordinary, and he can clearly distinguish the changes in the ghost pupils in his hands.
Kill a half-orc around sequence 9, the system will prompt "Demonic 1", but compared to the same period last year, killing a human transcendent in sequence 9, the increase in negative soul power absorbed by the ghost pupil is less than one-tenth of killing a half-orc of the same level!
This also means that the magic sword in Raymond's hand can accumulate a large amount of passive superposition attributes of "Soul Eater" by killing the demons, and if you really want to use skills such as sword demon possession in the future, the power will also rise.
As far as these high elves are concerned, the most indispensable thing in this secret realm is the demon race
However, the corresponding cost is not small.
If Raymond uses the means of killing the demon clan to make the demonic energy of the ghost pupil skyrocket a lot, this sword power will definitely skyrocket, but it will be even more difficult for him to control it, and if he can't do it, he will be eaten by the demonic qi, and finally fall into the demon path like Sodros and become a "sword slave".
Moreover, it has been proven to be so.
Killing and killing, Raymond suddenly felt that his mind was empty, and he was completely not thinking about anything else, concentrating on the more and more enjoyable killing
"Captain, are you alright?"
I don't know how long it took, as if he heard Anna shouting in his ear, Raymond came back to his senses.
It was as if he was in a trance for a moment just now, and when he looked at it again, he was surrounded by dense half-orc corpses under his feet.
Anna frowned slightly, as if she saw something wrong, and said in a serious tone: "Raymond, your expression just now was a little strange, as if you were immersed in killing, and you can't extricate yourself."
On another look, it wasn't just Anna, everyone else looked at him with a stunned expression.
The nearly 10,000 half-orcs who landed on the floating island, everyone thought about helping to kill some before. But immersed in the killing, Raymond was so angry that he even rushed to harvest people's heads
With the teleportation method, he is like a death harvester, where there are many orcs, he will teleport to wherever he goes, and then bring a bloody rain, and pieces of corpses will fall
Unknowingly, more than seventy percent of the half-orcs on this floating island were killed by him alone!
Even those few demon leaders couldn't take a few more stabs under his sword.
"I was just affected by the demonic nature of the sword?"
Raymond looked at the black glittering ghost pupils in his hand, and obviously understood something, and his expression was extremely solemn.
Ever since he first got this magic sword, he has been very careful.
Even if it is used, it is to follow the last words and teachings of Sodros Li Xuai, and to suppress the sword momentum with the realm. He would never rush to try the part of the sword contained in the sword in advance that he couldn't control.
Even if his current strength far exceeds the "Sword Hero Realm", there is only one threshold from the "Great Sword Hero Realm" where the sword intent is turned into gang. But he would rather spend more effort to comprehend, and he would not use a sword to break the second seal on weekdays. Although, that can make him realize that "Sword Qi Huagang" takes a shortcut.
Because of this caution, he no longer had a situation where his will was swayed by the sword.
But just now, there was an accident!
The more extraordinary the weapon, the more spiritual it is.
After cultivating the sword with qi for so long, he could faintly feel some of the "emotions" of the sword, and even empathize with it.
Killing the orc just now, the ghost pupil devoured a large amount of demonic energy, and that feeling was extremely addictive, making him feel addicted and unwilling to let go, and he wanted to just kill like this, kill the dark, and kill the world invincible
"It's probably because I absorbed too much demonic energy at one time, so that the magic sword in this state of solution was affected and controlled."
Raymond pursed his lips and stroked the sharp blade of the black sword in his hand.
When he wanted to put it in the scabbard, he had a faint feeling of reluctance.
This is not a good sign, Sodros's last words are very clear, and having this kind of emotion in his heart is a bit of a sign that he is about to become a "sword slave".
Fortunately, after the black sword was returned to its sheath, everything returned to normal.
"It seems that I will have to be a little more cautious next time I use my sword"
Raymond solemnly admonished himself in his heart.
This is the fatal temptation of the peerless famous sword for the swordsman, even if he knows that this magic sword will have endless troubles, he is not willing to give it up. At the beginning, Sodros couldn't, and Raymond couldn't avoid being vulgar.
It's not so much greed, it's more about the swordsman's dedication to swordsmanship.
Whenever reason persuaded him to give up the magic sword, there would always be a rebellious voice in his heart: he couldn't control a magic sword, how could he control the ultimate sword? Everything in the world, nothing can be killed, and so are the demons in the heart!
With a slight sigh, Raymond turned his face to Anna and smiled, "I'm fine." ”
At this moment, Jasrema and the group of elven warriors also gathered around.
They did not hesitate to praise themselves and smiled.
Originally, they were all ready to fight to the death, but they didn't expect that because they encountered the "Ghost Group", the desperate situation would suddenly be reversed. The joy of the rest of their lives turned into ecstasy, which appeared on their beautiful and delicate faces.
"Wow, Captain Raymond, you're amazing!"
"Oh my God, he killed thousands of half-orcs alone, and how many half-beast commanders he had!"
"What an astonishing sword skill, Captain Raymond, you and your companions are too strong"
“”
The young female elves made no secret of their affection one by one, pointing around Raymond. boldly, he also touched the long sword on his waist and pulled the corner of his clothes.
The system prompt also sounds.
Bite! Ma Su admires you, has a good impression of you30, and the current relationship is "friendly"!
Bite! Marilyn's affection for you 33, the current relationship is "friendly"!
Bite! Vivien's affection for you28, the current relationship is "friendly"!
Raymond didn't know why the young High Elves suddenly became so enthusiastic, and their favorability grew.
He thought it was the arrogant character of the elven race's "hospitality", and he didn't pay attention to the slender hands that seemed to be rubbing oil.
Compared to these slender waist and beautiful elves, he was more interested in the battle just now.
It was a pleasure to kill just now, and when he came back to his senses, he found that he was slightly panting, and the consumption of true qi was not small.
"It's a lot of exhalation."
Raymond vaguely understood the true meaning of the demon's "cannon fodder tactics".
To put it in terms of data, a knife costs ten points of true qi, and if you have 10,000 cannon fodder, you have to consume 100,000 points of true qi.
If there is any tricky existence in this group of demons, his true qi consumption just now has already made his strength go a few percent first, and he has lost the opportunity
The demons in this secret realm of "Sky City" used this low-level half-orc cannon fodder tactic to kill many high-level elven warriors.
And at this time,
Jasrema also walked up to Raymond with a gentle smile on her face and said, "Thank you, Captain Raymond, for saving our lives. ”
Bite! Yasrema admires you, has a good impression of you35, and is currently in a close relationship!
Emotions can be concealed, but the system can't fake it.
Although the expression of this female elf captain is the same, her favorability suddenly jumped to "intimacy"!
Doesn't intimacy mean that, except for certain things in principle, no matter what she does, she will not be disgusted?
Raymond looked at the system prompt and was a little confused,
Isn't it difficult to improve every little bit after the relationship reaches "friendly", how did it come so steeply this time, and the first meeting was "intimate"?
The High Elves are so easy to get a favorability?
Even if it's a legendary "friendly" race, it shouldn't be
However, he also had to admit that the Yasrema with a relaxed smile on his face in front of him was a little more beautiful than the elf captain with a sad face before. The sunlight poured through the clouds on her flawless face, adding a soft light filter to the extreme beauty of the High Elf Clan, and the bright smile on her face, like the warmth of the spring breeze, made people's hearts flutter
Raymond also learned from these elves that their current location was indeed in the center of the battlefield.
This was originally the territory of the elves, but after being broken by the demon army a few years ago, it was abandoned.
This time, the queen of their elven clan led the clan to counterattack, and this battle has been fought for several months, and the situation is still unknown for the time being
Yasrema was only the leader of the Queen's Guard, and he didn't know much about it.
Jasrema contacted the Elven Headquarters and told them what was going on, and didn't tell Raymond that they knew Prince Eagle and General Mungo.
All they have to do now is wait.
The "Ghost Regiment" and the elves cleaned up the battlefield on the floating island. They cleared a clearing in the town and sat around waiting for reinforcements.
Now the floating sailboat is wrecked, and there is no way to go.
And, the safest thing to do right now is to stay here and don't go anywhere.
If you strayed into the battlefield and encountered a high-level demon legion, you wouldn't be as lucky as killing those low-level half-orcs in the afternoon.
In a large-scale war, small forces that do not have unified dispatch are not even cannon fodder. Smash into the quagmire of war, and you won't even make a splash.
The crisis was lifted and completely idle, and Raymond also paid attention to the "floating ship" technology.
Not only him, but the entire "Ghost Regiment" was very interested in the fact that the sailboat could fly in this secret realm. In particular, Colin and Nicole, two mechanics, are simply salivating over this unheard of technology.
Unfortunately, the results disappointed them.
The relationship has become "close", and Yasrema obviously will not hide from Raymond this well-known "floating technology" of the elves. Moreover, it just so happens that she also has rune masters in her team who know how to "float runes".
But the young female elf only knew some rudimentary rune drawing techniques. It's okay to repair the broken runes, but if she wants to draw a complete one, she can't do it.
What's more, there is one of the biggest problems.
The Golden Ghost is a steel steam ship that weighs more than 100 times more than these wooden capsized ships. Ordinary floating runes simply can't support the levitation of the iron toad. Therefore, they had to wait for the elder-level rune masters in their elven clan to draw a super-level floating rune that carried such a weight
Although the Iron Toad can't fly for the time being, it doesn't hinder the curiosity of Colin and Nicole, the two top-tier mechanics.
After carefully checking the floating runes on the "Black Wind Battleship" and communicating with the rune masters of the elven clan, they discovered a very regrettable fact.
That is, the "floating runes" drawn on the sailing ships in these secret realms do not conform to the laws of the human world.
It's just a "gravitational repulsion rune" that only works under certain circumstances.
To give you a figurative example, it's like a magnet!
The entire "Elven Secret Realm" is in a special magnetic illusion.
For example, the principle of "same-sex repulsion" of magnets, the essence of the "floating rune" is also to make the hull have a magnetic field with the same gravity of the secret realm, so as to generate a "repulsive force" with the whole world to achieve the purpose of floating.
In other words, even if their "Golden Ghost" drew a floating rune, they could only fly in this secret realm. In the human world, without a special magnetic field, you still have to obediently sail on the sea
This made everyone in the "Ghost Group" a little disappointed.
However, even if they could only fly in this secret realm, Raymond and the others were full of expectations for the flying iron toad.
The signal has been sent, and Raymond and the others can only wait patiently.
The "Ghost Regiment" saved the lives of this group of elves, and everyone got along very happily.
Although language is limited, it does not prevent them from expressing their joy in words that they do not understand.
"Thor's predecessor is actually a golden giant, and legend has it that in ancient times, our elves and you Titans were still allies."
"Doctor Wow, did you develop the medicine you just injected me with? It's amazing how my wound healed in one fell swoop. ”
"Pure Mao? Stone senior, are you a bear? Your cooking is so delicious, I've never had such delicious food. ”
"It turns out that the mechanic is a scientist among the humans, and it sounds a bit similar to the master craftsmen of the ancient dwarves."
“”
Temporarily freed from the clouds of death, the elves suddenly became very excited, singing and dancing to celebrate this victory.
They sang beautiful songs, danced cheerfully, and their faces were filled with heartfelt laughter.
There were even a few bold female elves who sang a few beautiful elven poems in front of Raymond
"I want to emulate the free birds, they happily express their joy, like flowers and spring breezy like a summer thunderbird, suddenly breaking into the dull world, giving heaven and earth a moment of light"
“”
Raymond admits that his literary cells are weak.
He listened to the poems with beautiful rhymes, understood all the words, and connected them, but he didn't know what the poems were trying to convey.
Those elf girls smiled at him, and he could only respond with an embarrassed smile, using that exaggerated smile to hide the confusion in his heart.
Looking at these cheerful singers in front of him, Raymond was actually very puzzled in his heart.
Why did these elves, who were nervous before, suddenly become so cheerful and lively like a different person, singing and dancing to celebrate victory as if they were completely freeing themselves.
Yasrema, who was sitting and chatting next to her, seemed to understand Raymond's doubts.
At this time, she asked very thoughtfully, "Captain Raymond, are you curious about the meaning of the poem they sang to you?" And why are they so happy all of a sudden? ”
"Huh?"
Raymond glanced at her and nodded, apparently waiting for an answer.
Yasrema smiled slightly, but the smile on the corner of her mouth made people see a little bitterness.
She took a deep breath and looked at the sky as it grew deeper. After pondering for a moment, he said slowly: "We elves and demons have been fighting for countless years, starting from my grandfather's grandfather, the meaning of our birth and existence is to fight with demons."
Hearing this, Raymond suddenly understood, and then looked at this group of elven boys and girls, and there was a little more heaviness in his eyes.
The elves know how to enjoy themselves in time, because they don't know who will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.
In war, death has become commonplace. So, they know how to celebrate every little thing in life that is worth rejoicing about.
This romantic race still maintains their pursuit of beauty.
The female elf captain said that the war was already so hard, and if you were sad again, wouldn't your life be gloomy?
After listening to Yasrema's words, Raymond gradually understood why the favorability of the elves, especially the opposite sex, was so easy.
The High Elves have been breeding in this secret world for countless years, because of the war with the demons, they no longer face the pressure of exterminating the race due to the sharp decline in population.
So a long time ago, the upper echelons of the elven clan encouraged the whole clan to have children.
The elves are originally romantic, and they will express their love if they like it, and they will never hide their love.
The elves in this secret realm have an extremely romantic optimism about emotions and bodies.
In addition to the affection, it is also the duty of the reproduction of the group.
Therefore, men and women here are very open-minded, and courtship is as normal as eating and drinking.
Some of the "enthusiasm" that seemed abrupt to Raymond was as normal for them as breathing.
"I see."
After listening, Raymond also showed a hint of abruptness, and finally figured out the general situation of the elf clan.
The two chatted and chatted, and at this moment, a fair-skinned and beautiful female elf girl came over, and she asked Raymond, "Captain Raymond, can you take the liberty of asking me to dance?" ”
"Dancing?"
Raymond didn't react and shook his head: "Sorry, I can't dance"
"Oh."
Hearing this, the elf girl's expression suddenly darkened, and she turned to leave.
Raymond blinked, not understanding what the gloom in the elf girl's eyes meant when she left,
At this moment, Yasrema beside him smiled and said to him: "We elves are a race that likes romance and will not hide our love. Our elven girls will express their love with poetry, and invite her favorite person with dance, and if you don't accept it, they will be sad."
“???”
Hearing this, Raymond had a question mark on his face.
He vaguely felt that he seemed to have missed hundreds of millions just now?
The first is the latest.
