63. Runestone
The advance force of the trolls who entered the forest to investigate brought back disturbing news that caused panic and commotion throughout the army. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
First there was a powerful spellcaster who destroyed the entire army, and now there were enemies who could not be killed by stone spears and bows piercing the body, and the witch doctor Lakasada narrowed his slender eyes and reached out to touch the fangs of his upper jaw.
In his opinion, there is no contradiction between the two, because the high-ranking witch doctor of Amani Trolls will also use the same technique, although they cannot be truly invulnerable, but the resurrected warrior has more power than before death, has no pain or perception, and is fearless.
Of course, the exact content and production method of Lacasada is not known, after all, he has not yet entered the center - after this battle.
But one thing he knew very well was that this secret art of resurrection was taboo even in Amanda, because the dead were naturally hostile to the living, and believed in the way of the soul, which trolls rarely did - except when the enemy invaded in large numbers.
The last time the undead appeared was back hundreds of years ago when tens of thousands of bugs poured out from beneath the ground at the beckoning of Kirhix, trying to destroy the entire Troll Empire, while the gritty Trolls confronted the remnants of the Elder Gods.
In the end, the heroic Amani troll defeated the wormmen in the northeast and killed the Kihiks who led them, spreading his fame among the trolls, and few people knew that the Amani trolls, who had been beaten to the ground, used this secret technique.
This is certainly not a glorious thing for the trolls who believe in the god of souls, Loa, especially after being made a hero, so Amani trolls keep this secret to this day, but the wise witch doctor discovers that their enemies are using this spell that should have been banned against them.
It doesn't matter, he thought.
Although I don't know the specific production process, it is essentially a spell to fix the soul that should be separated from the dead body, and to deal with this kind of enemy, it is only necessary to strip his soul again. The only trouble is that only a witch doctor can do this job, and this unit he is in, well, plus he himself only has three witch doctors.
Rakasada was also interested in the battle, which was crucial to his own evaluation at Amani's leadership, and he quickly reassured the Zambou of each team, while recruiting Dakaz, the leader of the hunters, and the two remaining witch doctors.
"Wise Witch Doctor." They were called to each of them to give salute to La Casada: "What can we do? ”
"Of course." Lakasada sat down cross-legged in front of the campfire, rubbing the stone he had picked up on the ground with the finger in his middle (the troll's three fingers), and amazingly, an engraved mark appeared on it, forming a strange symbol.
When a stone is engraved with a magical mark, it is called a runestone.
Trolls, the native race of Azeroth, have a long history of stone carvings, and they are accustomed to using tablets to recount their knowledge and history, and runes are a means of enchantment by their spellcasters.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, gemstones are also stones, but if it is this kind of stone that is picked up casually on the ground, the effect is relatively bad.
"Dakaz, Amo, Yoda, you should have heard some rumors that there are undead in the opposing army."
"Yes." Dakaz nodded, and the two witch doctors looked at each other, reflecting their own conjectures.
"Use this stone to dissolve the other's sorcery," Lacasada twisted the rune stone in his hand and placed it in front of his eyes, the leaping light of the fire illuminating the lines on it, faintly blooming with the magic that remained.
This is not an illusion, but an escape of magical power, because the stone is not very effective in storing magic, so it is like a poorly sealed jar, the contents are easy to expire and deteriorate, and sooner or later it will become an ordinary stone, but now, as La Casada said, it has the effect of inactivating the spell, in layman's terms - that is, dispelling.
Dakaz understood: "What does the witch doctor mean that with this amulet, we will be able to deal with those undead enemies?" ”
Lakasada nodded, then turned to the other two witch doctors, "I need your help. ”
"Of course, at your command." These two witch doctors were not as high as La Casada, and they were naturally courteous and respectful, but one of them still had a slight hesitation on his face: "But the wise witch doctor, with our strength, I am afraid that we will not be able to make too many runes." ”
This was also expected by Lacasada, but Dakaz, who did not know voodoo, asked, "How many of these stones can the two witch doctors make?" ”
The witch doctors looked at each other, "Five." ”
The latter nodded as well.
"So little?" Dakaz almost blurted out, but soon, judging by the displeased expressions of the two witch doctors, he realized that he had transgressed.
"It doesn't matter." Lakasada waved his hand and said comfortingly: "Dakaz is a warrior who doesn't understand the way of the soul, in fact, making runes consumes a lot of soul power in the body, and I can only make 8 pieces, and 10 pieces is the limit." ”
"Respectable witch doctors, no offense, such a number is really difficult for the warriors of the tribe to equip." Dakaz said embarrassedly that the morale of the current troll troops was extremely low, and they were not afraid of tangible creatures, because they knew that they could kill each other, even the hard-shelled and tenacious Qira insects could not stop their progress, but with those ghost-like figures, Dakaz could understand what their fears were.
"That's why I'm looking for you." Lakasada interrupted him and stood up from the ground holding his bone staff: "The art of immortality is far from being as simple as you think, it takes a lot of mental and preparation from the maker, and it is not always successful, they are more likely to summon a mad monster and resentful spirit, and only a small number of strong-willed dead people can complete this ritual, so I dare to conclude that there must not be many undead creatures like this among the other party." ”
"In other words, what my subordinates encountered before was just an isolated case?"
Lakasada nodded: "You equip your most elite subordinates with these runes, so that they can fight the undead, and those ordinary enemies can be left to others to do." And although the undead are called immortal, they are not really immortal, as long as their heads are cut off and their souls cannot stay, they will still be destroyed. ”
As if to dispel the other's uneasiness, La Casada added at the end: "Don't forget, we are also in the accompanying party. ”
