Chapter 256: The Dark Serpent, the Dark Lady's Soul Lasso (1/3)
Link sat back in his chair and waited for King Lane to explain the situation. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The attendants in the hall of King Lane's team waved their hands and said, "All stand down." ”
The attendants all left the hall, and at last closed the door of the hall.
King Ryan then turned to Grint and said, "Master, show the magic image to Master Link." ”
Grimm nodded, took out a scroll, and handed it to Link with a mage's hand, Link took it, opened it, and found that the scroll was stained with dark brown blood, and on the scroll was a detailed image of a dark elf.
The background of the image is a dark forest, the dark elf is wrapped in leather armor, and the head is also covered with a masked hood, only a pair of eyes are exposed.
At a glance, this dark elf doesn't seem to be anything special, but if you look closely, Link will find a lot of abnormalities, the most obvious is his eyes, which are also dark red, but if you look closely, you can see that there are many fine rune lights and shadows circulating on the pupils, and his hands are also very peculiar, not ordinary fingers, but claws, and the nails on them have become very sharp, no different from beasts.
Grint explained: "This is a magical image sent back by MI3, and a magician paid for his life in order to get it. ”
Looking at this portrait, Link's heart was already turbulent, because he already knew what it was, but his face was still impassive, and he asked, "Is this dark elf very powerful?" ”
"Very powerful!" Grint's face was very heavy, and King Lane on the side also frowned tightly and said nothing.
This is not surprising to Link, because in the previous game, when this kind of dark elf appeared, the kingdom of Norton basically never won on the battlefield.
Of course, he didn't know about it now, so he continued: "Tell me about it. ”
This time it was King Lane who replied: "The description from MI3 goes like this. This kind of dark elf is very fast, has a condensed and deep battle aura, and the momentum is very wild, and the single combat power is estimated to be above level 6. They often act in groups, as if tirelessly, and are active in the forests day and night, specializing in the assassination of our officers and accompanying magicians. MI3 has tried to set a trap for capture, but so far has not captured any of its elite scouts, except for the loss of hundreds of elite MI3 scouts, and this portrait is the only information we know. ”
Link nodded, then looked down at the portrait again.
Although the picture was very clear, he still didn't seem to be enough, and he cast another eagle eye spell on himself, and then squinted and continued to look, raising his wand as he went, and began to write and draw in the air.
A white light appeared on the tip of his wand, and the air seemed to become a drawing board, and the wand slashed through the air, leaving a faint but clear trail of light in the air.
After about a minute or so, Link stopped moving his hand, and there was already a circular rune array in the air, and there were about 100 runes lined up in the array.
When the runes were finished, something strange happened.
The shadow in the corner seemed to be slowly expanding, and the magic lamp on the side seemed to be shrouded in a black veil, and the light was much dimmer, and there seemed to be a black mist in the air of the entire council hall.
King Ryan suddenly looked uneasy, and Grint exclaimed, "This is ..... Dark Runes! Master Link, what's going on? ”
Link waved his hand to disperse the rune light and shadow in the air, this hand just now was the Void Simulation Spell Casting Technique he had discovered from Waynes' collection, it was not very useful, but it was gorgeous.
After the light and shadow dispersed, the gloom in the hall suddenly dissipated, and Link explained, "Those runes just now came from the pupils of this dark elf image. I don't know exactly what it does, but from the vision, it's safe to assume that the bodies of these dark elves have been modified by some kind of dark magic. ”
Grint gasped and said, "You're talking about demonization?" ”
Once, he doubted Link's magic because he was too young, but the other party came step by step, this doubt has become smaller and smaller, and now, after Link revealed this wonderful means and meticulous observation, he finally regarded Link as a master of magic who communicated on an equal footing, so he used the word 'you' by his peers.
Link nodded, then shook his head again: "It's demonization, but it's not ordinary demonization." If you look at the runes I just drawn, there is no specific connection between them, and they are completely inconsistent with the universal laws of magic, they just exist, so that they can affect the dark element. That's too powerful. ”
Grint's face turned pale, he had already guessed a possibility, but he couldn't be sure: "You mean ......"
"Yes, it's not just a dark rune, it's a dark rune!" The former is the power of mortals, while the latter comes from gods, and the levels are very different.
"Since it is a rune, it must have been released by the priest, but as a mortal priest, how could he release such a powerful divine skill?" Grant still felt incredulous.
The effect of this divine technique is equivalent to creating a group of assassins at the peak of level 6, it is a group, not one, in the Radiant World, this kind of enhancement effect is unimaginable!
On this side, Link continued his deduction: "Yes, ordinary magic needs to be released by the priest's hand, the priest is a mortal, the effect of the magic will be greatly reduced, if you want to create up to level 6 dark elves, you want to pay a great price, it is impossible to scale ....... So, I speculate that the Dark Elves must have gotten some kind of dark artifact. ”
Link spoke in a very flat tone, as if he was simply stating, in which he constructed an almost irrefutable logical chain through one argument after another, and finally deduced a result that made people smell and change.
Dark Artifact!
Just these four words, if they get out, are enough to set off stormy waves in the entire Norton Kingdom and even the Radiant World. In the history of Feroman, as long as there is an artifact, it means that the whole world will inevitably usher in a huge change.
At the moment, there are no artifacts in the Radiant World, the most powerful one is a holy artifact, preserved in the Radiant Cathedral in the Holy City of Sarana, which is a Grail of Radiance.
Although Grint had already agreed with Link's speculation in his heart, he still didn't give up: "But which dark god is willing to pay such a huge price to throw the artifact into the mortal world!" ”
The artifact is not something that exists, because of its huge power, it will inevitably be seriously rejected by the rules of Feroman, so to maintain the existence of the artifact, it must consume unimaginable energy.
Once this energy is exhausted, the artifact is immediately squeezed out of the plane.
In the mortal world, the Sacred Weapon is the most powerful instrument that can exist steadily.
Link sighed in his heart, he knew which god it was, and he knew the cause and effect.
In the previous game, this dark artifact was called 'Dark Serpent, Dark Lady's Soul Lasso', and it was the weapon of Queen Rose, and the reason why it was able to appear in the mortal world was because the dark elves broke Greenstone and sacrificed hundreds of thousands of souls in the city.
And in this life, the change of the blood moon did not happen, but the dark elves still summoned this artifact, and there is only one explanation, that is, they used a poor race to complete the sacrifice instead of the human race!
Thinking of this, Link said softly, "I think the dark elves should use the sacrificial method. ”
"Sacrificial law? Summoning artifacts? This requires at least 100,000 souls of living beings. Grint couldn't believe it.
Then, Link said four words: "Greenstone." ”
As soon as these four words came out, Grint's whole body shuddered, and the body of King Ryan on the side didn't understand it at first, but when he came back to his senses, his face became bloodless at all.
Yes, Greenstone, a year ago, the Dark Elves planned Greenstone's sneak attack, and that plan was crazy, and it wasn't that no one investigated the reason for the Dark Elves to do so, but in the end the conclusions were not very convincing.
But now, Link has introduced the existence of the dark artifact step by step through the dark rune in the eyes of the dark elf image, so Greenstone's matter has a terrifying explanation.
The Dark Elves attempt to slaughter the city of Greenstone, then sacrifice all their souls, summon dark artifacts, and finally head south to attack the Radiant World.
If Greenstone's plan had succeeded, the Kingdom of Norton would have suffered the most brutal and merciless blow, and the subsequent counterattacks and victories would have been a joke at all.
Ryan still had the last trace of luck left in his heart: "Master Link, all this is just your speculation, right?" ”
Link nodded and admitted Ryan's claim, but he then said how to verify it: "Your Majesty, it's very easy to confirm this, you just need to investigate whether there was a mass murder in the north, this kind of thing can't be hidden, I think MI3 should get some clues......"
Before he could finish his words, he saw King Ryan suddenly fall limply on his throne in despair, cold sweat pouring out of his forehead, and his eyes were even darker, as if he had suffered some great blow.
Link was a little puzzled, looked at Grint on the side, but found that the state of the magic master was not much better, his face was gray, his hands were tightly holding his wand, and the spirit of the whole person seemed to be scattered, revealing a feeling of sadness.
"What happened?" Link was a little confused.
"Hehe~hehe~" Grint laughed, but it sounded like crying, he looked at Link, his voice was hoarse and low: "Actually, we have already gotten the news, do you know the Ice Barbarians?" ”
"I know that I have lived on the ice field island in the north for generations, and I have hunted whales for a living." Link read from the books that this race is very marginalized and not valued by the mainstream world.
Grint smiled bitterly: "Just three months ago, our army received a request for help from some barbarians, who said that their hometown had been slaughtered by the Blood-Eyed Demon and wanted us to send troops to help. But at the time, no one took it seriously, because they were barbarians, and we couldn't have disrupted the strategic plan because of them...... I didn't expect ....... I didn't expect it! ”
In other words, the Ice Plains barbarians suffered the slaughter on behalf of the Norton Kingdom, and the great consequences of the dark artifact still depend on the Norton Kingdom.
This is really a newspaper of the world!
King Ryan reached out and touched the corners of his eyes, quietly wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes, then he looked at Link and asked in an almost humble tone, "Master Link, do you think we still have a chance to win this war?" ”
Just now, this young magician showed incredible wisdom and insight, he deduced the terrifying plot of the dark elves based on just clues, and his attitude was always calm, such a performance raised a sense of hope in King Lane's heart, since Link can deduce the dark artifact, and it has been rumored that this magic master is the chosen person of the Lord of Light, maybe he has a way to deal with this dilemma.
Link didn't say whether he could win or not, he waved the blood-stained scroll in his hand that recorded the image of the Dark Elves, and said in a condensed voice: "Your Majesty, the future is unpredictable, whether you can win or not depends on the efforts of the present." Things haven't gotten to the worst yet, first of all, we have to catch such a demonized dark elf and study his weaknesses before we can talk about dealing with the dark artifact, are you right, Your Majesty? ”
"But these dark elves are too strong, their combat power is amazing, and they are infested in groups, and they are very fast, and the Dawn Excalibur Canosei has not been able to catch them."
Dawn Excalibur Canosheu, a level 8 warrior, is currently the strongest warrior in the Norton Kingdom and even the entire human world, and has always been in the palace, but he didn't expect to be sent to the battlefield, which shows how bad the situation is!
Link crossed his fingers in front of him, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll go to the north." ”
"Huh?" Ryan and Grint glanced at each other with some surprise, since Link beat to death the eighth-level Great Demon Taruvis, he is almost recognized as the most powerful combat mage in the Radiant World, and if he wants to make a move, with the Dawn Excalibur, this matter is basically stable.
It can be said that if the cooperation between these two people is not successful, then no one in the glorious world can do the same thing.
"When are you leaving, Master?" Grint asked.
"Give me a week, I'm going to do some preparations."
"Of course! Of course! That's no problem, master, what do you need, just say, I'll do my best to meet it! His Majesty stood up excitedly.
"My whereabouts must be kept secret." Link said earnestly.
This time he went north, he also had no choice, the northern battlefield was about to collapse, and he could no longer stay out of it. (To be continued.) )
