Chapter 42: The Frog Prince
It is a dilapidated wooden house.
The wooden house is made of gray-black wooden planks, but it is estimated that the craftsmanship of the people who built this wooden house is too poor, so that these patchwork planks look more like patches patched up, and the perennial rain erosion and sun exposure also make this wooden house full of a rotten smell.
Such a dilapidated wooden house, standing among the houses of Asgarrod City, tastes a little out of place no matter how you look at it.
However, no one would have thought that this is the abode of Avalona, the only remaining Great Prophet of the Orcs!
Prophets, this is the most revered profession in the orcs, they pay the price of losing the light of their eyes, in exchange for the guidance of the god of war, they warn of evil thoughts, so that the tribe can avoid calamity, they foreshadow the future, guide the tribe to survive and reproduce, they are the strongest pillar of the orc tribe, as long as they are on the battlefield, the warriors of the orcs will be invincible under the guidance of the god of war Kampas!
But the same Great Prophet who should be admired by all the Dark Council is now confined to this dilapidated cabin, barely breathing......
The Fat Man hadn't played the Dark Guild camp before, so this was the first time he had met the Great Prophet Avalona.
He had to come here because the mission of the Dark Council camp was started by this Great Prophet......
Originally, I didn't understand why such a great prophet would live such a miserable life, but when the fat man saw Avalonna's legs, he immediately understood.
Avalona sat on a gray wooden bed, his legs hung down in front of the bed, on those legs, burning black flames, these black flames were very strange, obviously burning, but did not feel the slightest heat, but a biting cold, the flesh and blood on Avalona's legs, burned and eroded by these flames, and now only a piece of charred skin and bones remained.
Perhaps one day, this black flame will consume his entire legs, and at that time, even if Avalona is a great prophet, I am afraid that he will not be able to return to heaven.
It is estimated that it is for this reason that Avalona chooses to live in seclusion, in such a place that is worse than a slum......
When he entered the wooden house, the fat man had already triggered the plot.
"You're here? Grande's descendants! A smile appeared on Avalonna's old face, his green face peculiar to orcs was now gray, but he still smiled and said, "I saw you a long time ago, and now I finally see you." Come over here, I have something to say to you......"
"Maybe you feel strange about my legs, yes, you guessed it, this is the after-effects of the war when you fought against the Chaos Legions......," Avalona said, "It's a flame from the Endless Abyss, it can't be dispelled, it can't be extinguished, and once it gets wet, it will slowly eat away at every piece of flesh and blood in your body until you die, then devour your soul, and then finally extinguish." ”
"You are here because of your mission, and it is also the future you will inevitably experience!" Avalona gently covered his legs with his prophetic robes, and sighed, "Born in the Dark Council, perhaps it is your misfortune, the power of the Holy Order Order, which occupies almost two-thirds of the Aegean continent, we have been suppressed and eliminated by them for centuries, and now, the Chaos Legion has joined in......"
"What exactly is the Chaos Legion, you ask? Well, that's a great question......" Avalona laughed, "Wouldn't you be surprised if I told you that the Chaos Legion is nothing?" ”
"To be precise, our real greatest enemy is not the Order of the Holy Order, but the Legion of Chaos!" Avalona frowned at this time: "How to say it, in fact, the so-called Chaos Legion is just a general name, in this legion, you can see all the creatures in all worlds!" Abyssal, hellish, and even all the races of our Aegean continent! ”
"That's right, they're being controlled! They are controlled by an evil force, or rather will, to slaughter our fellow citizens in turn! Avalona clenched her fist hatefully: "I also discovered the existence of this power after studying it for a long time, but I still can't figure out where this evil and powerful power comes from, they are everywhere, they breed wildly, and then bring destruction!" ”
"Sometimes I even wonder if the hatred caused by this perennial war between us and the Order of the Holy Order is the soil that breeds them...... "Hatred is the root of all destruction, and the funny thing is that I am powerless to stop this hatred, because it is so deeply ingrained that the Dark Council cannot stop, and neither can the Order of the Holy Order." ”
"Whether it's you demons or us orcs, believe me, even the most brave and warlike people will be tired of this kind of war!" Avalona stared at the fat man and said, "During this period of being eroded by the endless fire of the abyss, I abandoned my noble status as a great prophet and lived in seclusion, refusing to come into contact with anyone, just to seek the guidance of the gods, to guide us beasts, to guide you demon apostles, and even to guide those who have been forgotten, so that we can get out of the quagmire of this war!" Our three races have been severely traumatized in this war that has lasted for several worlds, and if we continue like this, we will really go to self-destruction. ”
"Luckily, a moment before you arrived, I was finally foreshadowed!" Avalona said reverently, "Campas is on top, he told me that we need to find someone!" This person is the bloodline left by your demon ancestor Grande, the last heir of the last royal court, Gardrio! ”
"I am old, and a prophet can foretell many things, but he cannot predict his own life, except for me, because even if I do not use the power of the prophet, I know that my death is coming!" Avalona looked at the fat man and said, "Son of Grande, since fate has guided you to find me, then please take on this task and find the heir of the Last Court who was lost on the battlefield, perhaps, under the guidance of the gods, he can lead all the races of the Dark Council out of the great vortex of war......
After saying these words, Avalona looked at the fat man expectantly, as if waiting for him to answer.
Such a deep and serious plot description should have been listened to awe-inspiringly, but the fat man was picking his nose at this time......
Well, what I'm talking about here is the fat man's real person, not his character, in fact, he has been playing for four years, and he is already quite familiar with the content of the story, so this long plot dialogue is not very attractive to him, but this kind of plot narration can't be skipped, so the fat man can only listen to it, and under boredom, small actions suddenly come out......
After hearing that Avalona finally finished the dialogue, the fat man couldn't help but mutter: "Why are the NPCs of both camps so verbose?" ”
Muttered and muttered, but the fat man still confirmed that he had taken the task.
Gardrio, who has been mentioned more than once by the NPCs of the system, is actually a character throughout the game's story, and when he first played Berserker, the fat man received a similar mission when he was in the Holy Order Order.
Thirty years ago, a large-scale war broke out between the two camps, and all races on both sides suffered heavy casualties, and the leader of the dark camp at that time was the Last Royal Court established by the Apostles, in that war, in order to make the Dark Council victorious, the then King of the Last Royal Court, Gardrio's father Salopis, he decided to personally go to the front line to command the war.
However, the development of events was beyond everyone's expectations, at the most intense moment of the war, the Chaos Legion suddenly appeared, and they swept away the forces of the Holy Order Order and the Dark Council in one fell swoop, and Salophis, the king of the last royal court, died tragically in the war, and Gardrio, who was only three years old at the time, was also lost in the chaos of the war.
That battle was the official declaration of the Chaos Legion's arrival, not only the Dark Council lost their leader, but even the Pope of the Holy Order Order was also hit hard, since then, the people on the continent, when it came to the Chaos Legion, all changed color, and the place where the two camps fought at that time has now become the purgatory land where the Chaos Legion is raging, and the two camps that have been hit hard have to retreat to avoid its edge, so it has formed today's three-legged situation.
After losing the king, the apostles were almost devastated, and in order to find the missing prince Gardrio, the last prince of the last royal court, Lentsal, had been searching for him for thirty years, but so far there has been no news.
But only the fat man, who knows the plot, knows that Gardrio was actually taken away by a human soldier, and the human soldier with a big life was lucky enough to escape from life on the battlefield, and after returning to the territory of the Holy Order Order, he raised Gardrio Chengren.
The people of the apostle clan, before they officially became adults, looked exactly the same as humans, and only after adulthood, the demon power buried in the bloodline would be liberated, and at this time, purple-red eyes would appear.
When Gardrio was carried back by the human soldier, he was so young that no one could tell the difference between him and humans, and Gardrio grew up in the territory of the Holy Order Order, so he naturally had feelings for the Holy Order Order, and finally joined the Holy Knights.
It is conceivable that when he becomes an adult, what kind of consequences will be caused when the power of the bloodline bursts out, and the education of the Holy Order Sect for many years has already made him hate the Dark Council camp to the core, but in the end, he found that his true identity turned out to be the race he hated the most, and the Divine Order Order, which originally raised him, now turned around and began to hunt him down!
As if played by fate, the final result of this somewhat bloody plot is that Gardrio gave up his faith in himself in endless despair, and then was controlled by the evil will and power of the Chaos Legion, and finally degenerated into the final boss of the Age of Chaos: the Chaos Knight!
As soon as he thought of the background story of the whole plot, the fat man couldn't help but sigh, what a story about the prince turning into a frog......
