Section 58 All Things Are Ready III.
The poor ogre was turned beyond recognition by the flames and toxins of the bursting toad, and his smooth and beautiful complexion turned into a dark and pale brown in the pits. Judging from the wounds, with the help of his own strong resilience, the burns have basically been scarred. The most lethal toxin of the Burst Toad was basically expelled after Eregar consumed a very valuable toxin neutralization scroll, so the iron skin that woke up from his sleep was actually no big problem.
Of course, phase breakage is inevitable, and Eregar is not a professional priest or healer after all, and wizards and arcanists tend to be more proficient in destruction than healing.
After learning of his condition, the ogre surprisingly did not lose his temper, and he sat on the ground for a long time.
Erega and Kate both looked at Tin Hide sympathetically, and after getting along for a few days, the timid ogre still gave them a very good impression. Kate also comforted him kindly: "Don't worry, if you go back to the base with us, there is a good doctor there, and he should be able to heal your burns well." β
That being said, Kate's own tone isn't so sure. After all, no matter how good the medical skills of the black-clothed healers are, they may not be able to break the barrier between humans and ogres, and they also know the ogre's physique well, right?
Who knew that when Ironhide heard this, he suddenly burst into tears.
The ogre's cry was terrible and fierce, frightening the legs and feet of the guards, and their faces were as pale as earth, for fear that this guy would swallow himself as food after crying. Duran and Kate looked at each other, both a little surprised, this guy can't really take care of his skin so much, right? Is that an exaggeration?
"Well, actually, maybe. Ironhide had a low status in the ogre tribe and had always been regarded as a cowardly and cowardly - and indeed it was. So all along, the only thing he could be proud of was this skin, right? It's pitiful to see him crying, as his master, should you say something to comfort him at this time? Duran thought so in his heart, this is such a thing as comforting people, it has never been Duran's specialty, not to mention that the other party is still a big and three thick ogre.
"Hey, hey, ahem, I said Ironskin...... Actually, you don't have to worry too much. Duran said a few words intermittently, but the ogre cried so loudly that his voice was drowned out. Except for Abu, who was sitting next to him, the rest probably didn't hear what he was saying.
Duran was annoyed in his heart, and couldn't help but cry: "What are you crying about!" β
The effect of this interruption was immediate, and the ogre's cry immediately stopped abruptly, and he looked at Duran with a worried expression.
"Isn't it disfigured? Follow me, are you afraid that you won't find a beautiful mother ogre? Duran scolded with hatred: "Seeing that you are crying so hard, it seems that your strength has recovered well?" After sleeping for so long, isn't it time to do some work? β
Duran didn't have time to mess with the ogre, he was short on manpower, and everyone had a role in his plans. If you want to kill Andrew, Duran needs at least the cooperation of Seamodo and Kate, but the guards can't be careless, otherwise it will be a big trouble if you accidentally miss a mistake.
"Master, master, I ...... I just had a dream. Tin Hide wiped away his tears and told in horror: "I cried not because my skin was ruined, but because in that dream, there was a very terrible fellow......"
Duran put his hand on his forehead and sighed, "I knew a long time ago that you were one of the more unproductive ogres, and now I know that you are even more unproductive than I thought...... So a little. β
Ironhide hurriedly argued, "That guy took me and tortured me about why I signed an ancestral contract with someone else, but I didn't say. And he beat me and scolded me, saying that I was useless......"
"Ancestral Contract?" Duran was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't help but think about it. Could it be that this dream of Iron Hide has another mystery? "What else did he tell you?"
Ironhide glanced at the rest of the people, but didn't speak. Duran pulled the tin impatiently, and the two of them mysteriously ran to the other side of the valley.
"The man said that if I had not signed an ancestral contract with someone else, he would show me a clear path. He said I had the potential to become, to be his priest......" said Ironskin.
Really! Ancestral priests!
Hearing this, Duran almost regretted his intestines, and he knew that he would not force Iron Sheet to sign an ancestral contract with him. If Duran is not mistaken, the person who appeared in the Ironhide dream should be one of the ancestors of the Ironskin. Very few ogres are able to get the guidance of the mysterious hand in their dreams and become a powerful ancestral priest. But as long as the ancestral priest is incomparably strong, the magic awakened in the bloodline will also be very terrifying.
It's just that Duran signed an ancestral contract with Ironhide first, and his ancestors will definitely not appoint an ogre who has been enslaved by humans to be an ancestral priest. After all, the appearance of any ancestral priest is an excellent opportunity for all the ogres on the continent to recover, and they will come from all directions, gather around the ancestral priests, and restore the glory of the past.
Depressed, what an ancestral priest was ruined by himself! For the first time, Duran felt that he had done a very good thing, did he have to use the ancestral contract if he wanted to submit the iron sheet? Obviously, there are other methods, although the effect is not necessarily as strong as the ancestral contract, but it can also have a good binding effect. In order to save trouble, Duran directly chose the easiest one, and as a result, he buried the opportunity for the Iron Sheet to awaken the elite template.
Ironhide looked at Duran with some apprehension, with his wisdom, he must have already understood the joints and knew that he had missed out on a powerful profession.
"It's okay." Duran snorted and patted Tin on the shoulderβas always, the ogre leaned down playfully to make it easier for Duran to do the job. In Duran's consideration, if Ironhide can grow up, it will undoubtedly be a big help by his side. The first is loyalty, and the second is intelligence, both of which are unmatched. Simodo's mercenary surname is destined for his future development to be a personal bodyguard at most, and it is difficult to become a big deal.
"If you can't become an ancestral priest, you can't be a rune mage." Duran simply put the [Rune Legend] obtained from the rune mage's laboratory in the iron skin's hand and explained: "This book is the certificate of inauguration of the rune mage, with your wisdom, you should be able to succeed in the job quickly." β
Tin Hide watched all this dumbfounded, and he flipped through the books in his hand in surprise and joy: "Master? Is everything you say true? β
Duran laughed and scolded, "When did I lie to you? β
To be able to become an ancestral priest, it is definitely no problem to cultivate the path of a rune mage. Even if the elite template of the iron sheet cannot be awakened naturally, Duran has many ways to forcibly awaken him with the help of external forces, his characteristic is high intelligence, and learning spells must be a thousand miles.
Ironhide eagerly followed the instructions of the rune legend, drew a strange figure on the last page of the book with his finger, and then silently muttered the words in his mouth for a while.
Duran watched it all curiously.
In the blink of an eye, a cyan light shone out from the rune, enveloping the entire iron sheet.
The ogre, bathed in light, looked curiously at everything around him, his gaze gradually changing from restlessness at first to calm and steady. After the cyan rune light disappeared, Duran noticed that there was actually a hint of wisdom in Ironskin's eyes.
"The hosts! I've successfully transitioned to a rune mage, and I'm currently a level 7 rune mage with three spell slots and four rune spells! The ogre said happily.
(The first watch after that is probably in the morning, before eleven o'clock; The second shift is in the evening, also before eleven o'clock~~)
