Chapter 187: The Backbone of the Dark Elves (2/4)
Demons are heterogeneous creatures, they don't come out of nowhere, and to appear in the world of Feroman, there must be a portal, a summoner.
Where is the portal? Who is the summoner? That's what Link wants to know.
After blessing himself with an original unburned edelweiss, Link walked up to the demon and raised his wand, the tip of which condensed into a holy silver whistle.
The whistle spun at high speed in the air, screaming, and the air around it was stirred up into a translucent vortex, it was only less than half a meter away from the demon's head, as long as Link sent this whistle, the holy silver pierced the demon's head, and the opponent would surely die.
The demon was visibly nervous, its bloody eyes glowing red staring at the whistle.
Link didn't speak, with a smile on his face, and just looked at the demon quietly.
He knows the nature of demons, when they are in good health and their strength is in their heyday, they will have all kinds of outbursts, all kinds of arrogance, all kinds of desperate with you, but once all these are lost, then they will not hesitate to abandon the temperance and kneel and beg for mercy.
It's not about morality, it's just a product of jungle fighting, because by doing so, you have the highest chance of surviving.
This is especially true of the lower demons, in the abyss, those hard bones that would rather die than give in were all trampled to death by demons who were more powerful than them, leaving behind all such soft bones.
After a second, two seconds, three seconds, and ten seconds, the demon finally couldn't hold back anymore and spoke: "I surrender, I surrender!" ”
This reaction was not what Link expected, but Enoli on the side was stunned, completely unexpected, the demon who was still a wild warrior just now would say such soft words.
Link still didn't cancel the Holy Silver Whistle and asked, "Who is the summoner?" ”
"Emmons. Morality. Romilson, a mage like you, he has level 7 powers"
"Where's the summoning location?"
"Hortoner Tower in the middle of Lake Kuroshio in the north, I came to this world ten days ago."
"What is the purpose of being here?"
The demon seemed to hesitate for a moment.
The whistle at the tip of Link's wand immediately rushed out without hesitation, arcing, nailing into the demon's abdomen before exploding.
The injury will be extremely painful for the opponent, but it will not be fatal.
Only 0.1 seconds after the whistle was activated, another holy silver whistle condensed from the tip of Link's wand, and the speed was as fast as if the one that had been activated before was an illusion.
But the pain was not an illusion, the sharp pain in the stomach made the demon's body tremble violently, he was afraid that Link would give him another time, where would he dare to hesitate, and immediately roared: "It's to protect the Holy Maiden, yes, it's to protect the Holy Maiden!" ”
"The name of the saint?" Link asked very quickly, so as not to give his opponent time to think and panic.
"Elena." The demon reported three words that impressed Link.
"You are protecting the Holy Maiden, so who is contacting the Holy Maiden? Isn't it a dark elf! Link went on to ask, what's the point of mere protection? Elena got the structure diagram of the Magic Tower of the East Valley Hub, and it must have been passed on, and this was a low-level demon who had just arrived, and he was definitely not up to such a task, so Link deduced that there was another contact.
"Yes, no! Yes, yes, there's a dark elf named Lodel. Makins, I'm here with him! The demon howled, but it was because of the repetition of a moment that he received another holy silver whistle.
"Where are they now?" Link's voice didn't ripple at all, and so did the expression on his face.
But in fact, his heart was already full of turmoil.
If the three people killed by him, such as Felidia and Olina, were the three heroes of Silvermoon, then Emmons. Morality. Romilson, Lodel. These two people are the pillars of the Dark Elves!
In history, these two dark elves are not amazing characters, nor have they done anything amazing, and their behavior is even a little mediocre, but if you underestimate him, then you will definitely taste failure.
This kind of person belongs to the kind of strategic talents who will never make mistakes, step by step, move forward little by little, and create advantages for themselves little by little.
A race needs a genius like the Silver Moon Sanjie to boost morale, having them is the icing on the cake, but without them, it won't hurt the bones, but if it doesn't have a mainstay like Emmons to stabilize the situation, then this race will slide into the abyss of destruction if it's not careful.
"I'm only now fighting the Dark Elves in the true sense of the word. Link sighed inwardly.
However, Link's thoughts were well hidden, the demon couldn't guess his thoughts at all, and the other party was about to torture him at the first sight of disagreement, which put a huge pressure on his heart, and he could only tell the truth.
"In Ligu Village, in Ligu Village, ah~ I beg you, kill me, I know everything."
This demon is not stupid, he knows that there is no way to survive in Link's hands, and now, he only wants to die quickly!
Enoni on the side explained softly, "Kuriya Village is where I found that Elena. I know the exact location. ”
Link nodded lightly and asked another question, "You said that Elena is a saint, which god does she serve?" ”
That's what Link has always wanted to know.
But the demon shook his head again and again: "I don't know, I really don't know, Lodell called me, he is called a saint, I am also called a saint, as for what saint, how can I care so much?" ”
It's the truth, and he didn't hesitate to say it.
"Lodel. How strong is Makins? "That's the last question, according to history, Lodel should not have fully grown at this time, he should be weaker than Philippia.
"He's a weakling! Not strong, not strong at all. I could have pinched him to death with one hand! His magic is ridiculous, and if he hadn't mastered my real name, I would have slapped his head in the head! "The demon hates the Authentic, which confirms Link's thoughts.
By this point, Link had asked all the useful questions, he estimated that he had emptied everything the demon knew, the demon was useless, and with a stroke of his mind, the last whistle shot out and shot into the demon's head.
The demon's body shook violently, and then he didn't move, and then, a large amount of black gas was exuded from his body, and after this gas entered the surrounding environment, he saw what was polluted, and in the blink of an eye, the land turned into foul-smelling silt, and the surrounding grass and trees also withered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and farther away, the grass and trees were still alive, but the color of the leaves became black, and it looked very weird.
The residual power in this demon's body spread out more than 30 meters before it stopped.
Link knew that if he didn't take certain measures and let nature clean it up, the polluted land would persist for more than three years before disappearing.
Honori's eyes flashed with horror: "What a horror! Legend has it that the ancient sages killed the Great Demon, and the demonic breath polluted hundreds of miles, I thought it was an exaggeration, but now it seems that this is not unfounded. ”
Link nodded: "Thankfully, this demon is not very powerful, and this bit of aura can be purified with flames." Ellie, I've got your help, with the Flame Blast. ”
"Understood."
The two stood back-to-back, and then began to activate the Directional Flame Blast.
The high-temperature flames rushed out, scorching everything in their path, the dirt was swept away, the plants and trees were burned to ashes, and in the violent energy fluctuations, the demonic aura was also washed away into more basic elemental power.
The two of them each had two fire explosions, and then they grilled all the polluted land, and when they were done, the dirt was smoking, but it had changed from its previous state of silt and black slurry to its normal color.
Maybe there's still some demonic aura left here, but it's irrelevant.
After the purification was completed, Enoli led the way, Link followed behind her, and the two of them hurried all the way to Kuriya Village.
On the way, Eleanor introduced the situation to Link: "The village of Chestnut Valley is not big, about 200 people, it is a small aristocratic manor farm. I observed for a month and found that this Elena was very careful to hide her identity, and when she was in front of people, she looked like an ordinary village woman, Lisa, and she couldn't find any flaws. If I hadn't seen her resurrection, I wouldn't have imagined that she would still be a saint. ”
This Link can imagine that in the East Valley School of Magic, he and this woman stayed in the same magic tower for a few months, but they didn't find any flaws, and such a smart person as Elette was even more deceived to death, and the other party's acting skills can be seen.
Link asked, "Did you see that dark elf Lodel. Makins? ”
"No, I don't know if he came into contact with the saint, but I didn't see him, and I didn't feel his presence. This dark elf hides very well. ”
"This dark elf mage should be very average in strength, but he is very alert, and now that the demon is dead, as a demon contractor, he should be able to feel this, we have to speed up."
With that, Link summoned the Wind Wolf, and when Enoni climbed on the wolf's back, he also went up and sat behind her, and the Wind Wolf rushed out like an arrow, following Enori's guidance and rushing towards the village of Chestnut Valley
Kuriya Village.
Elena was a little uneasy, as a peasant woman, she was rocking the spinning wheel and weaving linen in the room.
In order to be able to play various roles, she has learned all kinds of work, weaving, a skill that is essential for a peasant woman, and of course she can do it, and she is not bad at it.
The spinning wheel squeaked softly, but Elena's mind was completely out of it.
Four days ago, the demon spotted the voyeur, and it chased it all the way, but until now, the other party has not returned, which is a little weird.
'Nothing is going to happen, is it?' Elena was nervous, but she could not speak, let alone act, for her status as a peasant woman had limited her, and she had lost all her strength because of her rebirth.
At this moment, a vague figure suddenly appeared in the corner of the dimly lit room, and an ethereal voice came out: "Elena, go quickly, Daru is dead, we are exposed." ”
This surprised Elena, she had seen the power of the demon Daru with her own eyes, in the Gwent Forest, who could kill him?
But now is not the time to dwell on these, after knowing that something happened to Daru, she calmed down and said to the figure in front of her: "Lodel, you go quickly, don't worry about me, I don't have the strength now, I will only drag you down." ”
She did this, not because she really didn't want to go, but because she didn't have the strength, she had to make sure that Lodell really wanted to take her away, otherwise the other party would leave her halfway, and she would be trapped.
"How's that going to work? You are the messenger of the crown, and nothing will happen again. Don't hesitate, come with me! The figure voice was very firm, he walked out of the corner to show a specific appearance, this is a young dark elf of 25 or 6 years old, with an ordinary face and eyes that do not have the evil spirit of ordinary dark elves, but seem a little loyal, he grabbed Elena, opened the back door of the room, and rushed out all the way.
"But I'll drag you down." Elena reaffirmed, her voice low and pitiful.
Unexpectedly, Lodell showed an excited look on his face, and he immediately made a promise: "Don't worry, even if I die, I will keep you safe!" ”
Hearing this, Elena bowed her head slightly and said weakly, "Lodell, thank you." ”
A faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she felt a little smug in her heart: "Alas, this dark elf is still young after all, so easy to deceive." ’
However, while Elena was complacent, she did not notice the hint of mockery in the eyes of the dark elf who was holding her hand and running.
'The trick of the rogue prostitute also wants to deceive me, taking you away is to take care of the face of the crown, if you can take you away, take it with you, if you can't take it away, you will die for me! That's Lodel's idea. (To be continued.) )
