Chapter 253: The Artifact Was Scary, but It Was Defeated (4/4)
Otera canceled the skill, and the Sky Devouring Serpent of the Soul Phase disappeared instantly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Realizing that things had changed, Link led the group back to the basic phase again.
He happened to see Nana, whose body was shattered, and more than 50 meters away, Otera fell to the ground with a piercing bloody hole in her forehead.
Strangely, this time, Otera did not have a black crystal on her body, the black aura that had always swirled around her body was gone, and the wound on her forehead did not heal, just lying quietly on the ground, as if she was dead.
The Serpent of Darkness in her hand was gone.
At this time, Felena also woke up, she saw this scene, and said weakly: "The dragon clan has a legend, saying that the artifact has a spirit, and it will choose its own master, and if it is not satisfied with this master, it will abandon her." ”
Kano said, "She was defeated by the puppet, and the artifact is not satisfied with her?" ”
It seems that this is the only way to explain it.
Link walked to Nana's wreckage, how powerful the artifact was with a blow, Nana's body was completely shattered, only one head was still intact, but the head was not undamaged, there were still many cracks on it, and the only thing that was intact was the big eyes that were pure and thorough.
"She's got us." Anne walked up with a sad face.
With regret and gratitude, Link carefully received the wreckage into the space pendant, and then turned to the crowd: "At present, it seems that we are safe, but we can't stay here for long." Let's go. ”
Everyone was scarred, and at this time, they supported each other, and with a small amount of magic energy, Link released a level 4 stealth magic without a trace, and the group walked slowly towards the south.
This time, there were no accidents on the road. A day later, Link and the others were relieved to encounter a group of MI3 scouts in the forest.
Message appeared in Link's vision.
Complete Step 4 of the Bone Castle quest series: Escape.
+200 player free points (to be delivered after 60 days)
Players receive a Level 7 Soul Inscription (delivered after 60 days)
This gain was a bit of a surprise to Link, and the delay in delivery was a bit intoxicating.
The scouts escorted Link all the way, and a day later, the group walked out of the Black Forest, and a huge war fortress appeared in front of them.
Ice Spike Fortress has arrived.
Standing in the doorway, watching the drawbridge slowly descend, Link's heart was almost filled with a sense of happiness for the rest of his life.
Turning his head to look at Kanosiu, Canoseius seemed to feel something, and was also turning to look at him, and after seeing Link's gaze, he smiled in a low voice: "Magician, you owe me a sword." ”
Link laughed, "Then you have to go to the king to pay your bill first." I can tailor a sword for you, but the price is more than 10,000 gold coins. ”
Kanosiu smiled wryly: "What a vampire...... Otherwise, I'll sell you this life and offset the bill. ”
"I'm welcome." Link said with a smile.
Both laughed.
Felena on the side also turned around and said to Link, "Master, when do you have time to come to Dragon Valley?" The dark artifact isn't over yet, and we need your advice. ”
Link thought for a moment and said, "In a month, when I return to the south, I will have to recuperate for a while." ”
He had to find a way to fix Nana, this puppet was so powerful that it would be a shame not to fix it.
Felena nodded understandingly, on this trip to the Bone Slag Castle, she narrowly escaped death several times, even the dragon claw weapon was abolished, and the whole person was exhausted, and she couldn't recover to her heyday if she didn't take care of it for a while.
At this time, the drawbridge was lowered, and behind the door, Duke Abel, various high-ranking officers, and the magician Mark were already waiting, and when they saw everyone, they strode up to meet them.
Duke Abel searched the crowd with his eyes, and when he saw his daughter, the lines of his whole face softened, he walked up to Link, bowed slightly, and said, "Master, you have worked hard. ”
Link replied with a mage salute: "This is what I should do, Lord Duke, I have discovered a lot on this trip to the north. I will do a full military report. ”
"Inside, please!" Duke Abel said excitedly, this is the first-hand information of the dark elves, and it comes from a wise magician, which is of great reference value.
The group entered the fortress, and the soldiers in the fortress saw the return of the Dawn Excalibur, and their faces were full of excited smiles, and from time to time someone cheered for Canosius.
As for the Red Dragon Female Warriors, the warriors did not feel frightened or repulsed, but looked at them curiously.
For a soldier, as long as the Dawn Excalibur is there, it doesn't matter if the sky falls, let alone a strange warrior.
Link watched this scene and couldn't help but sigh in his heart Canoxiu's huge prestige in the army, this guy has the status of a god of war in the army.
It is no wonder that Duke Abel must have insisted on sending a search and rescue team under extremely difficult circumstances.
When he arrived at the command hall in the fortress, Link did not delay at all, and explained the experience of this northward journey in detail.
The Dark Ghost, the Bone Keep, the Dark Artifact Bearer Otera, and so on all made it clear, and finally, Link introduced Felena's identity.
Link's description was very objective, especially when he made a detailed assessment of the strength of every opponent he encountered, and when he finished speaking, the entire command hall fell silent.
Everyone was struck by two facts.
First, it's no wonder that the Dark Elves were able to create such terrifying creatures as Dark Ghosts, and they actually possessed a dark artifact, which was simply terrifying!
Second, the magician Link was able to rescue Kanoxiu from the artifact holder, and in the end, not only did he escape the pursuit of the artifact holder, but his puppet also killed the other party.
This is equivalent to the power of mortals against the gods, and they won, if it didn't really happen, no one would believe it!
In this way, the artifact is not unsolvably terrifying, because it has already been defeated once.
After a long time, Duke Abel spoke: "Master, according to what you said, the dark artifact is missing, what do you think is the most likely thing to happen?" ”
Although he was a young man under 20 years old in front of him, Duke Abel's attitude became very respectful, almost to the point of humility, for no other reason, this magician's record was too rebellious.
Link was also thinking about this along the way, and already had a rough guess, he said, "I think the artifact should only disappear temporarily, but it still threats. I suppose that after some time, it will definitely choose a second holder. And after learning the lesson of this time, the second artifact holder will be more stable, wiser, and more terrifying. The Black Forest is no longer safe in the face of such dark elves, and my advice is to abandon the Ice Spike and retreat to the Southern Oreda Fortress......."
"But this won't solve the fundamental problem, we should destroy ......" A mid-level officer said with some dissatisfaction, for a soldier, destroying the artifact is the most complete way.
Before he finished speaking, Duke Abel's face sank, and he scolded in a low voice: "Silence, listen to what the master has to say!" ”
The officer's face turned pale and he immediately stopped talking.
Link was not angry and continued, "I think you need to know two facts, first, the artifact is indestructible. Second, it is impossible for an artifact to exist in the mortal world for a long time, and every minute and second will consume energy. ”
At this point, he looked around at the people in the hall and saw that everyone was listening attentively, so he continued: "The iron wall of defense led by the Orida Fortress, the kingdom has been in operation for 300 years, and it is very strong. In my observation, as long as they hold on for a year at most, the Dark Elf's artifact will be expelled from the Celean plane, and the Dark Elf's advantage will automatically disintegrate. I think this is the safest strategy at the moment. ”
Everyone in the hall fell into deep thought.
Link said it very clearly, the strategy he said was indeed the safest, in the face of the artifact, no one dared to say that he would be able to win, and as long as there was one mistake, the entire Norton kingdom would fall into the abyss of terror.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, it was Canosheu, who stood up and said, "I have seen the power of my artifact with my own eyes, so I agree with Master Link's approach. The Frozen Ice Peak Fortress was built temporarily, and the magic resistance of the city walls, the Detection Eye, and other military facilities are too far from the iron wall defense line, and it is difficult for us to hold this place. ”
Anne also said: "I also think that retreating was the right decision. ”
Everyone in the hall began to discuss one after another, and after ten minutes, Duke Abel pressed his hand to stop everyone's discussion, and he said: "I will think carefully, but with an army of 100,000 people, it is not a matter of time and a half to retreat, this needs to be carefully arranged." Moreover, in the end, His Majesty the King must agree to do so. ”
Although it was considered to be considered, Duke Abel had already been convinced, and he did not have any confidence in facing the artifact.
At this point, the temporary military report was over, Link said goodbye to the others, and followed the magician Mark to the magic watchtower.
On the way, the magician Mark said, "Master, we have carefully studied the power of the dark ghost, and the holy silver you took out is indeed very effective, but I find that there seems to be room for improvement. ”
Link nodded and said with a smile, "I'm not very proficient in alchemy, I'll stay in the fortress for two days." Then I'll take a trip to East Valley College. In the past two days, we can discuss how to deal with these. ”
The Serpent of Darkness has a soul devouring ability, and it is not safe for the army to retreat to Orida Fortress, so he must return to the East Valley to discuss a strategy with the magicians.
Mark was pleasantly surprised: "That couldn't be better. ”
...............
Two days ago, in the north, in the Black Forest.
Half an hour after Link and his party left, an old man in a black robe with white hair and white eyes arrived at a messy battlefield.
He was none other than the magician Ammons.
Looking at Osera's corpse on the ground, he sighed: "You have disappointed the Dark Lady too much, the artifact is related to the fate of our clan, but it is not for you to vent your anger, you can go in peace." ”
Squatting down and gently stroking Otera's eyes, Ammons stood up and said to the surrounding woods, "Come out, Dark Serpent." ”
'Boom, boom,' the sound of rolling grass and trees, and a large snake swam out of a bush.
Ammons stretched out his hand, and the big snake slammed into his arm, turning into a snake's head whip, and Ammons took it slowly towards the depths of the forest, saying as he walked: "This time, I will definitely find a qualified puppet for you, what do you think of my disciple Lodel?" ”
"Hiss~" The snake head nodded and shook his head again.
Ammons sighed: "He is indeed the best candidate, but once you lean over, there is only half a year left to live, it's a pity, let's change it..... Let me think, Mudafi, how's that? ”
The snake whip still shook his head.
"Isn't Mudafi bad...... It's a headache, or else, I'll find some volunteers, and you choose? ”
"Hiss~" The snake head nodded lightly and agreed. (To be continued.) )
