Chapter 720: Giraud's Revenge
After discovering that the treasure he was most looking forward to in the entire dragon treasury, the Truth Astronomy, was actually a fake, Xiwei's whole person seemed a little excited.
It is true that there are still a lot of valuable things in the treasure house, but for Xiwei, no matter how good the equipment is, it can be obtained through the guò system copy or achievement store, but the truth astronomy is a unique treasure, and now that I know that this unique thing is actually a fake, I naturally can't feel better.
It was at this moment that he suddenly caught a glimpse of a subtle, somewhat familiar sword in the treasury.
"I think I've seen the shape of this sword somewhere......"
He scratched his head, and a scene from not long ago came to his mind.
"Damn, this is Rolanddur?!"
Sivi blurted out in surprise.
"Rolanddur? The legendary Holy Sword that ended the Daredevil Age? Hearing this, Raven also leaned over and looked at the ordinary long sword: "But isn't the legendary Rolandur a long sword of light that shimmers like the sun?" ”
"That's a misinformation, because the Daredevil is afraid of the sun, so many legends depict Rolandur, who assassinated the Daredevil King, as the Sword of the Sun or the Sword of Light. In reality, this is not the case. ”
Sivi explained casually.
At the same time, he pulled the sword out of the ground.
It is not as described in many knight novels, as soon as the sword is drawn, the heavenly thunder resounds, the earth's veins roar, and there is no magical power flowing from Rolanddur's body into Sivi's body.
In fact, in terms of feel, Roland Doll is no different from the finest longswords that are generally crafted by dwarven craftsmen. It didn't even have the usual enchantments like sharp edges on it, and if it weren't for the fact that Sivi had left a fairly strong impression on Roland Doer at the Great Magic Festival, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to recognize this legendary holy sword......
However, after holding this sword, Sivi could sense that there was some kind of 'mystery' faintly flowing on it.
By identifying crystals, you can understand the essence of this 'mystery'.
"Daredevil Slayer: Law Effect. When a creature of the Daredevil/Vampire race is injured by Roland-Dur, a Will & Tenacity check is performed, and any failure of either test is immediately wiped out. If the test is successful, the effect of summary death will be waived, but the wound will not heal naturally."
This kind of power, which seems to have the same origin as the miracle of the Great Mage, and even higher, is the fundamental reason why Roland Dur can be revered as the Holy Sword.
Speaking of which, it seems that he still has a task to collect Rolanddur......
Sivi subconsciously opened the task panel. It turned out that the task was not progressing.
This made him scold in his heart: Damn. Do you want me to tear this thing into pieces and bring it back to the afterlife?
When Sivi and Raven were discussing the 'fundamental conditions of the Holy Sword', Giró, who had traveled through the entire treasure house, pulled Amanda to the two and said goodbye to them.
"Leaving so soon?" Sivi was a little regretful: "Are you really not thinking about becoming my student anymore?" ”
"I am a believer in the dragon god Sigmund Freud. and his descendants. Won't be put into anyone else's hands. ”
Giraud refused very dryly.
By his side. Amanda nodded her head busily, agreeing with Giraud's words.
"That's a pity." Sylvie shrugged his shoulders and glanced at Raven, who was gloating. He continued: "Then don't you pick something out of the treasury and take it out?" Any weapon here can give you a big boost in strength, right? ”
"No need, we have already violated the clan rules by entering the forbidden land without permission, how can we take the contents out again." Giraud refused again dryly, he and Amanda looked at each other, and said with a wry smile: "When we get out, we will confess to the village elder and receive the corresponding punishment, as for the things, forget it." ”
Sivi glanced at the two of them in surprise.
I didn't expect these two seemingly lawless little guys to be quite principled.
It's a pity that such imps are rare in later generations......
After seeing the two of them leave the cave, Xiwei sighed in his heart.
Emotion is emotion, and what you want to do will not change.
Since there is nothing left to do in this era, it is better to simply seal yourself, sleep for a thousand years, and then wake up again in the next life.
And this cave guarded by the Molten King Dragon is obviously the best place to seal itself.
Although committing suicide directly here can also play a corresponding role, Xiwei still decides to accompany Raven to seal himself together. It's not that he's been so interested in girls in just a few days, but he thinks that if the two of them sleep together, the possibility of something going wrong is relatively small.
Another darker reason is that if he and Lawen are dormant together, they can still monitor the girl on a certain distance.
After sorting out the inventory in the treasure house and starting to arrange the seals, half a month passed quietly.
"By the way, we can wake up a few times on the way, right?" While preparing for the self-seal, Sivi suddenly spoke: "For example, the Battle of Taliecid or something, I actually want to see what happened in the end of that war......
Although he once had this opportunity in the Tower of Grinding, at that time, Xiwei had already done his best just to keep himself alive, and he didn't have the leisure to care about other things at all.
"Well, it's a bit troublesome to wake up regularly, the runes that must be unsealed at regular intervals must be constructed on the seal, and the number of runes that need to be embedded will probably rise by about thirty to fifty without destroying the integrity of the seal, considering that it needs to take effect for thousands of years, the success rate will probably be low......"
Raven held her white chin in her right hand and muttered to herself.
"Why think about the Millennium Seal directly? Let's shorten the sealing time to before the start of the Battle of Taliesid, and then we can re-seal it when the battle is over? Sivi immediately said.
"But in this case, the materials we prepared will be insufficient......
The girl immediately objected.
There are indeed a lot of precious materials in the treasure trove, but because they are too precious. Some of the basic ingredients are not available - just like if there is no water in the shark fin soup, it is useless to put more shark fins.
"Since we're honored guests of the Dragonborn, it doesn't matter if we make use of this identity a little, right?"
But Sivi had been prepared for this.
"I don't think even if the Dragonborn village chief were asked for some basic materials, they wouldn't have refused. It's a big deal that we trade the contents of the treasury for them. ”
"That's what I said......"
Raven thought about it for a moment, and felt that what Sivi said did make sense.
The village chief even gave Sivi Freud's treasury (there was no such thing), so he would not be stingy with a little basic materials.
So the two of them cleaned up a bit, and left the cavern and headed to the Dragonborn's village again.
But on the way, Sivi sensed that something was wrong.
Just as he was about to inform Raven, the girl walking behind her walked a little faster, and she gently tugged at the corner of Sivi's clothes. Whispered in his ear.
"Something doesn't seem right."
Sivi shuddered at the sudden attack. Then he nodded solemnly.
The woods in the mountains are too quiet.
The sounds of insects and birds, which should normally be noisy, were completely inaudible, and even some of the usual animal tracks, such as hares, disappeared, as if the whole forest had been relocated for some reason.
For no apparent reason, Sivi suddenly worried about the Dragonborn village.
He and Raven walked much faster. When they came to the outskirts of the Dragonborn village. The tragic sight made him stunned for a moment.
The houses of the village have all been destroyed by unknown forces. All that remains is a ruined wall, and the village is littered with scorched marks, apparently having suffered from the raging fires before.
The village was littered with charred human corpses. However, after a little examination, Sivi found that the cause of death of these people was not the fire, they were dead before the fire.
"It was killed by someone, and there were many causes of death...... Stabbing swords, war hammers, serrated swords, crossbow arrows, and apparently flails...... It seems that there are quite a few enemies invading here. ”
After examining the corpse, Sivi slowly stood up, frost on his face.
Temo had just returned Freud's relics to his descendants, and as a result, his descendants were served in a pot...... Although this has nothing to do with Xiwei himself, this slap in the face is too fast, right?
“…… Are there any survivors? ”
As a high-ranking person in the sublime realm, Raven would not be like other girls known to Sivi, who immediately became indignant when she saw this kind of scene and wanted to kill the murderer and seek justice, but after a few seconds of silence, she asked Sivi more urgent questions.
"Looking." Sivi had already released the Mage's Eye to try and find the survivors, but with the entire village burned down, the odds were a little too slim.
At this time, Sivi couldn't help but wish that the little vampire Sharan was by his side - no matter how hostile it was, the girl's ability to detect life reactions alone was already more than Sivi's.
But to Sivi's surprise, he actually detected the breath of a person under a burnt black wall.
While guarding the survivors of the collapse of the wall, Sivi carefully lifted the wreckage of the wall with a mage's hand.
Then he and Raven beside him were stunned.
Giraud was huddled in a small space created by the ruins with his hands on his knees, and there was a faint breath, and in his arms, it was a crystal clear, crystal-like thing.
It was Freud's dragon soul.
Throwing the wall aside, Xiwei immediately took out the life potion and holy water, and poured it into the surviving teenager as if he didn't need money.
I don't know which one of them played a role, but Giro's breath finally became smooth and long.
After another moment, his eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened them.
But for some reason, his eyes were full of confusion and his eyes were not focused.
"Here it is...... Where? He asked softly, his voice sounding hoarse and terrifying.
Sivi frowned, reached out and waved in front of him, but Giraud didn't respond.
He was blind.
"I'm Sivi, and so is Raven."
So Sivi simply said in a deep voice.
"Mr. Sivi!" Giraud's face was first happy. Then he hurriedly asked, "So, how is the village?" ”
Sivi didn't know how to answer him for a while, so he could only remain silent.
Probably from Sivi's attitude to know the answer he wanted, Giraud's face froze, and after a while, he opened his mouth, making a 'hehe' sound in his throat, and the expression on his face was distorted, looking like he wanted to cry, but the tears had dried up, and he couldn't even cry out of the painful feeling.
Neither Sivi nor Raven spoke out to persuade or comfort him.
They all knew that what teenagers needed now was not that kind of empty thing. It's about venting your feelings thoroughly. Only when he calms down can he calmly answer the question.
It was about half an hour before Giraud calmed down a little, but he still sobbed from time to time.
Just a kid after all. Something like this happened suddenly. No wonder he made such a gaffe.
Sivi grabbed a bite to eat from the storage box. So that Giraud can talk while eating.
The boy also seemed to be very hungry, and he ate recklessly as Sivi shoved it into his hands.
When Sivi asks the culprit who turned the village into this. He gritted his teeth and said viciously, "It's a vampire!" Those damn bastards! ”
It turned out that when Giraud and Amanda returned to the village, they were not punished.
The Dragonborn chief didn't know what to do after Floyd's death.
So they could only follow their previous habit and gather the men with high dragon blood purity in the village every once in a while, and let out a dragon roar together, pretending that Floyd was still there to intimidate the people outside the mountain.
But for some reason, this act did not work, and a large group of vampires, ignoring the power of the hanged man, descended directly from the sky, came to the village, and began to slaughter and suck the blood of the villagers without question......
Giraud and Amanda are entrusted with the dragon soul by the elderly village chief, who knows that he is no longer able to escape, and wants them to leave the village with this treasure to escape.
But the two children naturally couldn't outrun the vampire, and in the end, Amanda relied on her strange strength, after knocking out Giraud, she just lifted a wall and hid Giraud underneath, and she went out to lure the enemy, and finally died tragically at the hands of the vampire.
The vampires were not satisfied after killing all the villagers, and burned the entire village in a single fire.
Giraud survived, but his eyes were blinded by the double whammy of excessive crying and smoking.
"I've changed my mind, please accept me as your student, so that I can have the power to avenge the villagers!"
After saying a word, Ji Luo prostrated himself on the ground and begged for Xiwei.
But Sivi frowned.
He had wanted to take Giro and Amanda as students, not only because of their dragon blood, but also because of their crystal-clear minds that grew up in the wild.
But now Giraud's heart has been completely polluted by revenge.
"I'm sorry, I can't take a guy who wants to kill and get revenge as my student."
So Sivi refused.
Suddenly, Giro, who felt that the last glimmer of hope had disappeared, fell to the ground as if his bones had been sucked away.
This made Sivi very uncomfortable.
Finally, he sighed: "Although I can't make you my student, but ...... If it is just to guide you, it is not difficult for you to gain the power of revenge. ”
Giraud looked up in surprise. Raven, on the other hand, glanced at Sivi with a complicated expression.
With this qiē said, Xiwei stood up and walked towards the outside of the village.
Originally, he planned to take action himself and take out the group of vampires, but now that Giraud wanted to do it for him, he naturally wouldn't object.
"Giraud, listen up. Laven and I will be leaving here soon. How much you can learn during this time is up to you. ”
Gillo didn't answer, but kowtowed heavily to Sivi.
For some time afterward, Raven often went out to find materials and inquire about the whereabouts of the vampires, while Sivi began to indoctrinate Giraud with various magical ideas.
However, just like this, there is definitely no way to obtain powerful power in a short period of time, magic cannot be achieved quickly, even Tio, who is a genius in the sky, is only a peak mid-level wind elemental mage for more than a year.
And the fact that Sivi promised him the ability to take revenge on his own is not a lie.
Anyway, Ji Luo is not his own student, and some practical yàn and techniques that are inconvenient for students can also be used on Ji Luo.
The first is the problem of vision. After losing both eyes, Sivi told him how the Gillo Bat sought the enemy.
Sivi can also make a similar effect, but it requires a lot of mana and a strong magic perception as a prerequisite, and Giraud naturally can't do it.
But what is impossible for ordinary people to do, it is not difficult for Giraud, after training, he can even achieve the ability to be similar to radar through the low-frequency dragon roar, not only eliminating the disadvantage of losing his eyes, but also improving his insight ability.
Then there is the skill of fighting, this Xiwei is able to integrate the combat magic that Guò learned by himself with the fighting skills of the Demon Swordsman, and through the high-intensity training of Guò, the swordsmanship that has thrown away the gorgeous coat and simply focuses on lethality and destruction is imprinted in Giro's body, and becomes a conditioned reflex-like ability.
Finally, there is the most critical force. Swordsmanship and magic without power, just rootless water without a source, can't be on the table at all.
And this situation, which was supposed to be the most difficult, became a little easier after obtaining Freud's dragon soul.
Sivi implanted the dragon soul into Giro's body, giving him direct possession of magical powers comparable to that of an adult dragon.
It's just that even so, there is not much magic power that Ji Luo can use, and his ability to control zhì is also very poor, if he concentrates on controlling his magic power, his body's movements will slow down, and there are countless flaws, which can be regarded as putting the cart before the horse.
In this regard, Sivi came up with the solution of mixing the wandering soul of Amanda that he found in the village with the power of the dragon soul to create a magical structure similar to the Three Sages system.
Amanda can appear with the help of the power of the dragon soul, and because she is the guide switch of the dragon soul, she can also help Giraud channel the power of the dragon soul faster and better.
Time passed leisurely, and half a month passed quietly in the continuous improvement of Xiwei and the continuous strengthening of Giro.
By the time Raven brought the exact location of the vampires, Giraud's strength was already so strong that he could even fight with Sivi (without using the Void Energy and the Gap) for a short time.
"Thank you for your guidance, I will never forget your kindness." After changing his tattered clothes into sassy warrior uniforms, Giraud lowered his head and thanked Sivi from the bottom of his heart.
Behind him, the shadow of light that Amanda had turned into slowly bowed to Sivi.
And Xiwei also looked at Ji Luo with satisfaction and the two of them half a month ago.
After Amanda returned to Giraud in this form, his feelings became much more stable, and he no longer kept doing suicidal training as before, and began to train according to Xiwei's advice, combining work and rest, and his learning efficiency was much better.
"Although you are not my student, but you are also from me, and I have nothing to give you, since your target this time is a vampire......" Sivi casually took out the holy sword Roland Dur, which he had not been in his hand for a long time, and handed it to Giro: "This sword is called Roland Dur, it is the nemesis of vampires, and it is useless for me to take it, so I will give it to you." ”
"Thank you! I will definitely cherish it! ”
Looking at Ji Luo's high-spirited back, Xiwei sighed in his heart.
For some reason, he suddenly missed his other students...... (To be continued......)
PS: Originally, this was intended to be delayed...... cough, describe the big plot of more than a dozen chapters in detail, but I always feel that I am tired of writing the plot of the mythological era, so let's go back to the academy quickly......
