Chapter 19: The Dusk Wind Blows
Under the cold wind, the guards near the Great Rift did not decrease in the slightest.
On the outside of the Great Rift, four hundred Kite Knights patrol day and night in four shifts, condescendingly placing the entire Great Crack under surveillance.
That's already a third of all the Kite Riders in Fararuo.
However, sending the air force to guard the Great Rift is not a waste of manpower. Kite knights themselves are not very good at fighting, and their strength is that they can fly extremely high and see extremely far. Compared to the more powerful and noble Wyvern Knights, the Kite Knight is nothing more than a scout class.
Now that the world is peaceful and there is no war, the training of the reconnaissance arms must not be relaxed. Anyway, the emerald kite and the two-headed kite are not afraid of cold and hurricanes, and the hunters who sign a contract with them will also get the corresponding resistance. Rising into the air in the midst of heavy snowstorms and torrential rain can be considered a good training.
Even if the contemporary King of the Mountain People pays relatively little attention to the care and maintenance of the Great Rift, and the annual allocation of funds is getting smaller and smaller, because of the special position of the Great Rift, he has to at least show the most basic attitude no matter how much he despises it.
Less than ten miles to the south of the Great Fissure is the largest Chachai gold mine in Fararao, and inside the Great Fissure, it is the only wizard training ground in Fararuo.
The wizards of Fararu are royal sorcerers with the characteristics of Fararu. Although the knowledge they have learned is not as comprehensive as that of the White Tower, and there are considerable deficiencies in astrology, theology, philosophy, mechanical dynamics, oceanography, etc., they have developed another path in geology, gemology, and pharmacy, and even have reached the advanced level of the White Tower.
Like the Silent Wizard Marcus's legion-crusher. The mountain people paid more attention to the practical benefits that witchcraft could bring to them, and the benefits that wizards could bring to their armies and their factories. And don't care about the origin of witchcraft and some "useless" knowledge.
Wizard Wang Li is different from the Wizard of the White Tower, in the player's parlance. They have a much stronger smell of craftsmen than scholars; And the Wizards of Wang Li are also different from the dark wizards who defected from the White Tower, they are after all the wizards of Wang Li who have received an orthodox education. Loyal to the king of the mountain people, loyal to the elders of the mountain people—even if their status is still not very high, they are still much higher than those dark wizards whose heads are worth more than their whole body combined.
After Fararu established the Royal Wizarding Academy, it did get quite good benefits. And the White Tower has no ill feelings towards these sorcerers who also obey the law. Therefore, they did not bother to take the risk of befriending Phararo to eliminate them.
It was because of Fararuo's royal wizarding policy that Titan sent Robert.
In the vicinity of the large chasm, which is up to two hundred meters wide and several kilometers long, there are eleven wizarding towers arranged in a lightning pattern. Of course, in order not to anger the temple, these eleven wizard towers were to be shorter than the temple of the mountain elders.
Rather, these kite knights are not actually guarding the Great Rift. Rather, they were guarding the wizarding apprentices - their patrol could not even completely envelop the large narrow chasm, but only cover the territory of the Royal Wizarding Academy.
Inside each wizard tower, there is a Winged Ranger acting as a malicious receptor. In order to avoid the malice of a single person being mistaken for the malice of the Wizard Tower, each Wizard Tower is accompanied by two or even three Winged Ranger with different life circles to eliminate the variables - which can be said to be a more generous protection measure than the four hundred Kite Knights. After all, if the Winged Ranger is a high-level profession that only nobles can invoke in Farah, it is basically the same as Karar's Duyid.
Although the status of the Winged Ranger is not an order of magnitude higher than that of Duyid, the mountain nobles still hope that they can have a few more Rangers in their family.
There is no particular reason - in any country, in any place, it is a great ability to know in advance the hostility of others to themselves or to their own family. Not to mention the level up, the Winged Ranger can even directly see the appearance of the person who has malicious intentions towards him and lock their location.
If the mighty Wyvern Knight is something that makes the military generals of other countries covet, then the Winged Ranger is a profession that the nobles of other countries covet.
This is also the reason why the king of the mountain people has never died because of assassination. They will either die of illness or curse. Either die of old age, even if there are not many people killed in battle.
However, the Winged Ranger has a flaw that cannot be ignored, that is, the problem of malicious pointing.
Because the Cangyi Ranger is not a Heavenly Prayer Guardian after all. They can only detect malice, but not crisis. The assassin can use hypnosis, inducement, amnesia and other witchcraft to get an innocent person to carry out indirect assassination. Instead, place yourself outside of the sensing area from the start.
For example, the future blue prince Les, his daddy, the gem male. He was killed at the end of 917, about ten months from now. Rice and his father didn't have the slightest sense of this.
Because the assassin was just a demented fat man. He was deceived by an undead who was planning to start a war, and asked the fool to travel dozens of miles. Fry a lot of masquerading as stones and sand. Bullets were sprinkled at night on the way to the duke's hunting...... But because this fool really didn't have the slightest malice, and the undead who really had malice had retreated to Karar, so that neither Les nor Zhan Langong's malicious perception was triggered.
There are two ways to open an enchantment. But because Elukado is also an underground race, she can only use the more difficult second type.
That is to destroy more than half of the thirteen wizard towers. When the power-powered wizard tower collapses, the barrier will naturally collapse.
But if it is directly aimed at the Wizard Tower, then the Blade Ranger's malicious induction will be triggered, and Elukado will easily fall into a besieged situation.
Don't forget that Elukado has long been blacklisted by the gods. When the elders of the mountain people find out about Elukado, the army will surround and suppress them. Even if Elukado could get out safely, it would be a long time later. Without Elukado's protection and vigilance, the Truth Society's rats would really cause Roland a lot of trouble.
In other words, Elukado must not dwell on it for too long this time.
At the very least, after throwing the inside of the Wizard Tower into chaos, or simply losing the ability to resist, then destroy the Wizard Tower in one go and open the barrier.
And Roland can't let Eluka damage Fararuo's national power too much. Once Roland's goal of weakening the Templars with the help of the Underground Race was complete, he would have to fight the Underground Race back.
The plague is a means, not an end. If the plague alone wiped out the underground race, or even infected the underground to exterminate them, it would not improve the prestige of Roland and the Death Sect.
Roland needs to weaken the underground race to a point where it can be easily defeated, and then let his knights wipe it out-
That's the way to kill three birds with one stone.
Roland taught Elukado a similar method to the assassination of the Jewel Male.
Standing in the shadow of the building, completely invisible to his body, Elukado picked up the glass bottle in his hand, shook it vigorously twice, then pulled the stopper, put it on the upwind vent, and immediately turned around and ran.
Suddenly, a faint yellow cloud of smoke poured out of the bottle.
Elukado didn't even know what was inside Roland's plague vial, or who Roland was trying to kill. All she had to do was "open the bottle", as Roland put it.
By this time, Roland had already evolved this plague based on the blood of dusk.
Its properties remain the same, still being the blood of dusk and mutations. Airborne transmission has been added to the mode of transmission, and symptoms of genetic disorders, septicaemia and mania have been added to it.
Although this plague is still not obviously deadly, it is already considered a rather dangerous plague. While this plague has received three symptoms, the contagiousness of the plague has also increased significantly. And the high immunity of the blood of dusk itself makes it impossible for even gold-level great wizards to be exempt.
Roland was still dressed in black robes, hurrying through the wind and snow.
A thin layer of frost had formed on his eyebrows, and a metallic silver-gray hue could be faintly visible on his skin.
Just as he was hurrying, Roland suddenly found several system prompts scribbling in front of him:
[Mania has been cultivated]
[Mania has been released]
[Number of people currently infected with fever: 2]
[The number of people currently infected with mania: 0]
[Number of people currently infected with mania: 1]
[Current number of people infected with mania: 3]
……
In contrast to fever, which was stuck on 2 motionless for almost the entire day after it was released, mania infected several people at the same time as it was released. And with Roland's gaze, the number of people infected by it is still increasing at a rate that is visible to the naked eye.
Predictable.
Roland's expression didn't change in the slightest. With a wave of his hand, he closed the curtain and continued south.
He decided to leave all the affairs of Fararuo to Elukado, and he went to Calar to find Joseph, took out the treasure he was guarding, and went directly to the White Wolf Cemetery.
Roland believed that Joseph would guard the treasure and not leave it, but accidents could happen at any time.
As for the big crack...... Elukado will know how. (To be continued.) )
PS: Everyone, we just got a Weibo a few days ago, and the Weibo name is [Don't pray for ten strings]...... If you have time, please pay attention to it first_(:з"∠)_
Although we haven't decided what we want to do with this Weibo yet...... But at least every day it will be said.
