Chapter Ninety-Eight: A Parting Duel and Two Cards
After drinking the heart-warming duck rack soup and announcing the arrival of parting, Red got his armor weapon from Anduin, but did not remove the scarf around his neck: "Chief, I'm leaving, I hope we can meet in the Blackstone tribe as soon as possible." β
Anduin nodded slightly: "Don't worry, there will be that day." β
Everyone around him sent blessings to Red, which made him very flattered, remembering that when he first came, he was so angry that he died, who knew that within a few days, everyone became friends, Red looked at Jones and others, and patted his chest very solemnly: "When I become the chief of Blackstone, I will invite you to the tribe as a guest." β
Jones half-jokingly said, "No, I guess by that day, we will all be too old to walk." β
Everyone laughed, but Red remembered this joke deeply, and he should remember Anduin's teachings, give full play to his advantages, and raise a group of powerful guards on Blackstone Mountain in the shortest possible time.
This is happily doing the final goodbye, and the final negotiations are also going on in secret.
Perhaps it was under the catalytic effect of the food that Orgrim lowered his bottom line, but he still did not meet the requirements of the old lord, he was secretly annoyed in his heart, and said angrily: "I really don't know, who is begging whom, no matter what happens to our Silver Fortress, His Royal Highness Terenus is not completely dizzy, but what about you Blackstone Chief, but you have found the Shadow Council, what he wants to do is nothing more than prolong his life, but what is the Shadow Council trying to do?" When it's time to burn your eyebrows, you still won't give up your interests, Ogrim, you have to think clearly, if the situation worsens, you will pay a greater price! β
"But your conditions are beyond my bottom line, if I agree, how can our Blackstone tribe gain a foothold?" Orgrim shook his head firmly, "Old friend, to put it mildly, you and I are only temporarily together because of interests, and we will meet on the battlefield sooner or later, this is an eternal contradiction between humans and orcs, and I don't want the Blackstone tribe to be regarded as traitors by other orcs." β
The old lord sneered: "Okay, then you go and ask other tribes!" Cooperate with us, the Blackstone tribe is at least still the Blackstone tribe, but the orcs are not so particular, and when your Blackstone tribe suffers a disaster, it is estimated that it is not a helping hand that reaches out, but a bloody mouth! Besides, your backward concept should also be changed, don't you see how young people get along? β
Ogrim was silent when he saw Red surrounded by the crowd in the center.
The old lord smiled maliciously: "Although from now on, Red will be rooted in the Black Rock Mountain, but if he really wants to become the Black Stone Chief one day, how will he deal with the relationship between the two sides?" You know, he was still at the Hearthstone Inn at this time, and he was still Anduin's follower, and he was still thinking about the day when the Blackstone tribe would open a branch. Ogrim, don't be foolish for a while, as long as the Blackstone Tribe can survive the difficulties, then there are infinite possibilities for the future, otherwise, you will be a sinner nailed to the pillar of shame! β
Orgrim glanced at the old gentleman deeply, and had to make his own choice: "Conditions, I can agree, but ......"
"Here we go again!"
The old lord shouted impatiently, but Orgrim ignored it, and said to himself, "I hope Anduin can fight Red again." β
"Huh? What do you mean? β
"Red can't return to the tribe as a follower, of course, the conditions for victory and defeat will not change, Anduin attacks, Red can only defend."
The old man was a little confused: "Does it make sense for you to do this?" β
"At least let Red realize that he is an orc powerhouse, not a human henchman."
Orgrim said coldly, now the Blackstone tribe has spread the news that Red has become a human follower, at first he didn't care much, and planned to use this atmosphere to inspire Red, but when he saw that Red was willing to become Anduin's follower, he began to regret his original choice, although Red did get a lot of help, but there is still a clear boundary between the two races, and he hopes to use a victory to remind Red of his true identity.
The old lord saw through Orgrim's mind at a glance, and laughed secretly in his heart, Orgrim tried to use the incompatible human environment to force Red to concentrate on introspection, but he didn't expect Anduin to choose to take the initiative to accept it at the beginning, which is why this situation appeared, since you still want to deceive yourself, then let it be, I just hope that after you see the result, you will not regret how stupid your decision was.
Thinking like this, the old lord explained the situation to Anduin and Red, and the two looked at each other, but did not refuse, firstly, Anduin was willing to facilitate the old lord's plan, and secondly, Red also wanted to see Anduin's magical abilities again.
Soon, everyone poured out of the gate, and even Martin followed curiously, he had already heard that Anduin had the name of the incarnation of the Holy Light, and he wanted to know what was so special about this young earl.
"Is it going to be there again? The legendary Holy Light Cannon! β
"I'm going to take a good look this time, I was in too much of a hurry last time to take a closer look at the structure."
"Eh, eh! Hera Tieli quickly stopped, didn't he see that the old lord and Venerable Orgrim were staring at him? What kind of mess are you going up there to make? β
Everyone was talking about Anduin's Holy Light ability, but they didn't know that Anduin not only did not plan to summon his followers, but also did not even want to use the power of the system, the reason was not of course that he wanted to admit defeat, but because of Red's solemn gesture, which made him feel that this duel should be "fairer".
"Thank you for the Light, which has given me extraordinary power."
[I am the Holy Light, the host does not need to be thanked, just scold me a few words. γ
"It's none of your business to shut up!"
Anduin coughed and said to Red and the others, "I want to use my strength in this competition. β
"Huh? Don't! After all, Count Anduin, you are only a second-order official priest, and your strength is too far from Red's! β
"That's right! Holy Punishment alone can't hurt Red! β
Protests suddenly appeared, persuading Anduin to change his mind, although this competition was not very formal, but it should also be taken seriously, Red clenched his weapon, gritted his teeth and shouted, "Boss! You can attack with all your might! I won't take it lightly anymore! β
Orgrim never wanted to give Red victory in this way, and said in a deep voice: "We blackstone orcs don't need a victory for nothing!" β
The old lord glanced at the tall figure beside him, and laughed softly: "Anduin, since people refuse to appreciate it, let him see with his own eyes, the name of the incarnation of holy light is not called for nothing!" β
But in the face of everyone's admonition, Anduin had only one answer, he slowly raised his arm and flashed his palm, and as soon as his eyes were fixed, a white flame suddenly rose.
As the bishop, Nilasek's eyes immediately widened, and he stammered, "This is ...... Sacred fire? β
"Not bad!"
The old lord was also extremely surprised: "Although the power is not as good as that of a normal archbishop, this is indeed a sacred fire, good boy, if this is really not borrowed from the gift of holy light, Prince Terenus will not be able to promote him even if he does not want to promote him!" β
As he spoke, the old lord looked triumphantly at Orgrim, who was frowning: "Anduin is only a second-order, and he can use the sacred fire that a fourth-order archbishop can learn, and it is definitely not a shame to have Red as his follower." β
"Blackstone orcs don't need a master!" Orgrim suppressed the shock in his eyes, "Besides, I don't think this faint flame can hurt Red!" β
The old gentleman agreed, but he felt that Anduin would bring surprises.
Sure enough, everyone immediately saw Anduin take out something, and someone immediately recognized that it was Benedictas's diamond necklace, a magical treasure that Archbishop Kidd, the head of the inquisition, had unsuccessfully asked for.
Seeing this, the old lord smiled slightly, and in order to prevent someone from denying the account, he took a preventive shot in advance: "Old friend, Red is wearing weapons and armor, so Anduin can also use his own equipment, right?" β
Orgrim's face was gloomy, and he noticed that the battle didn't seem to be good, but he couldn't stop it temporarily, so he had to nod slightly, looking at the "mediocre" Holy Light Diamond and secretly estimating that Red was the peak of the fourth order after all, and he was one step away from becoming a legendary powerhouse, and in the case of a head-on confrontation, as long as he dealt with it carefully, it shouldn't be a problem, as long as he ......
The Orc Venerable was stunned, because he saw that Anduin took out the Ancient God Scepter again, compared to the Holy Light Diamond with eight seals, the Ancient God Scepter was more eye-catching, Orgrim and the old lord glanced at each other, seeing the shock in their eyes, and the strange fluctuations from the scepter, which made the two of them take it seriously, but the sacred flame of the Red Dragon King had already made the eyes of the ancient gods fade from their original appearance, so for a while, they could not see the truth, and they could only set this ancient god scepter as a high-level treasure.
[Hmm...... Doesn't the host want a fair duel? γ
"That's right!"
[Dan...... Why is it the Holy Light Diamond again, and the Scepter of the Ancient God? γ
"Is there a contradiction between the two? The fairness I pursue is that without the use of system plug-ins, whether it is the sacred fire or the diamond scepter, it is something that I own, and it is very fair to use it for a duel, and then again, you can't lose to your followers when you are the boss! β
γForehead...... Reasonable. γ
Anduin ignored him and said to Red instead, "This is the first time I've used all my strength, and I hope you can handle it carefully." β
At this moment, how could Red still take it lightly? Immediately used his momentum to add defense to himself, he had faced the divine flame of the fourth-order priest, it was powerful, but it was not without a way to resolve it, but he didn't know, even Anduin didn't know what the divine fire would become after the amplification of the ancient god's scepter and the transformation of the holy light diamond.
Subsequently, the answer was revealed.
When the sacred fire poured into the scepter of the ancient god from Anduin's palm, the power of the flame suddenly rose several times, and instantly poured into the holy light diamond, turning into black thunder, and lightning shot out with a snap of his fingers...... Disappear.
Red looked stunned, and found that at some point, Orgrim appeared beside him, stretched out his palm and crushed the black electric snake in the air, sensing that the old lord was looking, the orc Venerable knew that he had crossed the line, so he had to grit his teeth and said: "Red wants to go back to meet the chief, he is not suitable for travel injuries, this competition, we lost." β
In contrast, Red didn't have the slightest annoyance, his eyes were only full of shock, and his good feeling broke through the boundary, and he asked in a hurry: "Boss, what was that just now?" It's amazing! β
Anduin saw the two prompts floating from the system, with a little surprise, and smiled slightly: "The Secret Word Technique has not yet been formed, Extinguish!" β
