Chapter 473: The Identity of the Mysterious Man

The profession of sorcerer appears relatively rarely in the official competitions of the national server, because this profession appeared relatively late, and it has not been fully developed like the array mage, so the number of people who play is not very large, and Xia Chiyu does not know much about this profession. But in foreign professional teams, there are also occasional powerful spell masters.

Often, when a class has a very representative player and a set of skills, the class will become popular, and then it will be mined to create a kaleidoscopic variety of gameplay.

The Divine Word Technique is the skill used by the two Protoss in front of them, and they only need to make the corresponding tone to release the corresponding spell. However, there is a certain rule, the more advanced the spell, the more notes need to be made.

The two Protoss seemed to be singing, emitting bursts of pleasant notes, as if singing, and this time the chanting time was relatively long, Xia Chiyu knew that the other party was going to release a big skill, and these two Protoss did not cast spells alone, but cooperatively, the two of them sang in different tones, but they synthesized the same spell.

The hurricane and flames quickly condensed in front of the two of them, and Prime Minister Xia Chiyu tried a spell to disintegrate the other party's condensation, but failed. Obviously, the way the Divine Word condenses the elements is different from that of a mage. Therefore, Xia Chiyu raised his hands, the ice element and the wind element condensed, and a blizzard greeted this flame storm.

The spells of the two sides collided, the contact between ice and fire caused a strong water vapor, and the strong wind came to his face, Liu Yiyu hurriedly covered his skirt, Xia Chiyu blocked the strong wind in front of him with one hand, and drew a regular triangle and a regular hexagon with the other hand, and then chanted the incantation: "Tianluo Jiuyao...... Starlight! ”

The circle emerged from under the feet of the two Protoss, and the lightsabers rose up, but the two Protoss each chanted a note, and the lightsabers under their feet suddenly twisted and bypassed them. It was as if pushed away by an invisible force.

Seeing this, Xia Chiyu stretched out his hand and pressed it to the ground, and several metal spikes stabbed out from under the ground. One of the Protoss quickly sang a note, and the four stone walls rose in front of the two of them, and the metal spikes were blocked by the stone wall, and the other Protoss began to chant a long series of notes, but Xia Chiyu also condensed enough elements at this time.

"The Seraphs of the End!" Xia Chiyu raised his hand and shouted, and then a magic circle appeared from under his feet: "Five Spirit Wheels!" ”

The Conjurer's Divine Word does not require the consumption of mana, and it is obviously disadvantageous to consume such a cost to the opponent, and he must find a way to rely on his high explosive ability to defeat the opponent. Because his spells can be instantaneous. But the opponent's spell must be chanted before it can be unleashed, and this is his only chance.

However, the enemy has two Protoss, and he can cast spells separately to be responsible for attack and defense, and he can also cast spells together to speed up the casting speed, so he must first find a way to separate the two Protoss, or control one of them.

Xia Chiyu discharged a column of ice arrows, and this string of ice arrows flew towards the two Protoss one after another, and one of the Protoss chanted a note. Xia Chiyu noticed that this note was the same note as the opponent's previous skill to prevent his "Star Flash", and the usefulness of this skill was probably similar to that of a spiritual force field. Able to push away nearby attacks for a certain amount of time.

The Ice Arrows were not a one-time attack, but flew out one after the other, and after about three seconds, the second Protoss also chanted this defensive note. Then a second barrier appeared, stopping the remaining ice arrows. Xia Chiyu calculated the duration of this skill, and then continued to consume it with these two Protoss.

"Eat fish, can I help?" Liu Yiyu asked behind Xia Chiyu.

"Yes. You try. Xia Chiyu grinned and said, the five spirit wheels under his feet lit up, and three ice dragons rose from the feet of the two gods. This time, the two Protoss had to dodge. Apparently the cooldown of the defensive barrier has not yet arrived. However, the two Protoss used spells to move in the same direction, and they kept a certain distance between the two, not exceeding a meter range.

It seems that only when the two of them are within a meter of each other can they use the Divine Word to cast spells together. Xia Chiyu took this to heart, and at this time, Liu Yiyu rushed forward with his long sword and launched an attack on one of the Protoss.

And this time, the two Protoss did not use the barrier spell to bounce Liu Yiyu away, but used the spell to move sideways again to dodge Liu Yiyu's attack. At this time, Xia Chiyu knew that the two gods should have used up the displacement skills, so that the other party should have no self-protection skills, so he immediately raised his hand and shouted: "Devil grass, demon embrace!" ”

Xia Chiyu's target is the Protoss who will use the barrier skill later, because the cooldown time of the opponent's barrier skill is definitely not good now. But the first Protoss had already begun to chant the spell at this time, but Xia Chiyu instantly pressed to the ground, and a spatial circle emerged from the feet of the Protoss, and then he was teleported to a place far behind Xia Chiyu.

The hideous vines rose from the feet of this second Protoss, entangled him, and then Xia Chiyu waved his hand continuously to summon six fireballs around this Protoss, and then raised his hand to summon a thundercloud in midair, and aimed his right hand at this Protoss to release Tianluo Jiuyao? Starlight ability. Thunder and lightsaber pierced the Protoss's body at the same time, detonating fireballs and devil grass at the same time.

The violent impact spread, and the figure of this Protoss was instantly engulfed. After all, the other party is only an elite, and the Protoss itself does not have a strong body like the demons, they are magical warriors, so they are actually very fragile.

Xia Chiyu's set of devil grass ignition combo moves were defeated, and he directly killed this god clan in seconds.

He now found that the spell master who played this kind of divine word technique was actually similar to the mage, and the other party also had similar life-saving skills like the mage, a barrier spell, a teleportation skill similar to a stand-in, and they could easily be killed by quickly deceiving these skills, and they were as vulnerable as the mage.

Moreover, although the Divine Word does not require mana consumption, it has the obvious disadvantage of being able to predict the opponent's next spell based on the opponent's pitch.

On the other hand, mages, although skills need to consume mana and have a longer cooldown than Divine Word, the advantage is that the skill has no obvious characteristics, at least the opponent will not find out what skill they want to release before they release it. After knowing this skill, the remaining Protoss would not have the support of his companions, and he would not pose a threat to Xia Chiyu at all.

After these two Protoss were killed, a ray of light directly formed on their bodies. Soaring into the sky and dissipating.

"Okay, anyway, let's go and meet Gu Qinyan first." Xia Chiyu said, looking around.

At this moment, a large number of human soldiers could already be seen rushing up on the walls of the Heavenly Staircase, and the Protoss was constantly routing.

"Suddenly I felt ...... Isn't that a good idea? Liu Yiyu frowned and hesitated.

"Why isn't it good?" Xia Chiyu led Liu Yiyu to run up the stairs and asked puzzledly. Liu Yiyu muttered, "That's it, look...... The Protoss is the weak side now, shouldn't we help them? Why fight them? It feels a bit like bullying. ”

"Is it compassion for the vulnerable?" Xia Chiyu sneered, "You know, before the defeat of the Demon Clan. To the Protoss, human beings are actually a kind of existence similar to 'drugs'......"

Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu suddenly thought of what Su Xing said, the kind of medicine taken by the elf clan.

"What drugs?" Liu Yiyu said curiously, "I heard that the Protoss didn't let humans become their believers? It doesn't seem to be a very excessive behavior.,As for messing with people's hometowns like this? Also ......"

"You don't understand...... In fact, many of the behaviors of many people in the Protoss are also excessive. Xia Chiyu said helplessly, "This thing is like this for the Protoss, the more spiritual power they absorb, the stronger their strength will be." This kind of behavior of absorbing spiritual power is still harmful to human beings after all. Some of the Protoss are more modest. But some of the Protoss have no moderation. ”

Liu Yiyu groaned, and Xia Chiyu continued: "Back then, many gods sucked the spiritual power of human beings into an empty shell, an empty shell with only behavior but no thoughts, you can be regarded as a vegetative person. And the Protoss didn't feel that their behavior was wrong. So there is actually no difference between them and the demons, it's just that the way of 'eating' is different. ”

"That's ......" Liu Yiyu said suddenly, and at this moment, another golden meteorite fell in front of them, and then another huge apostle slowly stood up from in front of them. Immediately reached out and grabbed them. But before Xia Chiyu could make a move, a sword light passed through the apostle's chest, and then the cold ice instantly covered the apostle's body.

"Smack!" A bang. The apostle shattered and turned into slag of ice all over the ground.

"Why are you so slow?" Gu Qinyan pushed the long sword back into its scabbard and asked coldly. And behind him, Yuxi and Nadya are also there, but they are not in a good state, and they obviously broke into here from different places all the way.

"I've studied something a little...... Xia Chiyu pursed his lips and replied, then pointed to the top of the ruins of the ancient city and said, "In short, let's hurry to the top of the Heavenly Staircase, which should be the final boss battle area." ”

After the five people converged, the speed of progress was much faster, after all, the number of monsters was fixed, and the divine word of the god clan, the more people, the easier it was to deal with, as long as they forced their two life-saving skills out, and then swarmed up.

They got closer and closer to the tower, and as they approached it, a dazzling light shot into the sky, and then quickly spread. As the circle of light spread, the whole city seemed to enter another point in time.

The brand-new Staircase of Heaven quickly became dilapidated and dilapidated, and those who rushed to the city wall also disappeared instantly after being swept by this light, only Xia Chiyu and the five were not affected. It was as if they had suddenly gone from the battle of the gods thousands of years ago to the place where the Staircase of Heaven had been abandoned thousands of years later, and the people and monsters around them, as well as the Protoss, had all disappeared.

"What's going on?" Gu Qinyan asked with a frown.

"We're probably back to a normal timeline." Xia Chiyu replied and waved his hand, "Don't stop, rush over first." ”

They continued to follow the walls upwards, and as the timeline returned to normal, the monsters disappeared as well.

Although the road is covered with the bones of humans who died in the Battle of the Gods, and as they pass by, they will occasionally stand up and turn into a few undead warriors, but they are all designed to set off the atmosphere, and the low level does not pose a threat.

Finally, they reached the top of the tower. On the staircase of heaven thousands of years later, the top of the tower was already crumbling, but there was a person standing at the top of the tower, from the outside, she was the woman who dragged Xia Chiyu and others into the painting in the world, but she was dressed differently, not wearing the gloomy brown robe, but a white robe.

"How did you end up in this world of paintings?" Xia Chiyu turned his head and asked.

"Sucked in by the portrait of this woman." Gu Qinyan said with his arms crossed. "When Yuxi and I were passing by, we suddenly stretched out two hands and forcibly dragged us in."

Nadya also replied: "Me too, I was watching which paintings made my eyes move, but this painting was particularly scary, and the sudden change from a woman to a female ghost scared me, put a curse on me, and dragged me into it." ”

"It looks like only those who are frightened will be inflicted that attribute-reducing curse......" Xia Chiyu thought with a dry smile, "Anyway, go up and see what she will say." Now she is not yet hostile. ”

This NPC is named "Sila the Key Keeper", and she is waiting at the top of the tower in a white robe, with a green frame around her, showing a friendly status, and an exclamation point above her head that can be used to talk, which should not look like an enemy.

Xia Chiyu stepped forward and reached out and clicked on the exclamation mark above her head, so Ciara spoke: "People who came to pick up the key, I have been waiting for you here for a long time." What's the problem. Please feel free to ask. ”

"What's going on in the world in this painting?" Xia Chiyu immediately asked.

"This is the Great Sage Larufal, who sealed the key here after the outbreak of the plague among the dwarves, waiting for the right person to come and retrieve it. Only those who have gained the respect of the dwarves. Otherwise you will be trapped forever in the past and trapped in eternal slaughter until you defeat the guardian of the painted world. The Key Keeper Sira replied softly.

"I understand......" Xia Chiyu said suddenly. Turning to Gu Qinyan and the others behind him, "Do you remember that there are two ways to complete this alliance mission. One is to rely on prestige to promote alliances, as we do, and the other is to directly force the other side to join the alliance by force? I guess the one that uses force will definitely have to fight the boss battle here in the end. ”

And Sira also confirmed Xia Chiyu's statement: "That's right, if there is no approval from the dwarves, then you will meet the other side of me at the top of this tower, and you can only take the key from me if you defeat me." But now...... You have gained the approval of the dwarves, and you can take this key as well. ”

As she spoke, Sira raised her hand, and the iron box in her hand floated in front of Xia Chiyu and the others.

"Let me confirm, why did the Great Sage Larufal seal this thing here?" Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why do you want us to see the scenes of the Battle of the Gods in the past?" ”

Sira smiled faintly: "Of course, in order to ensure that the alliance mission can be carried out smoothly, the Great Sage Larufal can freely travel between the present and the future, and he has taken great pains to ensure that the races on the earth can reunite. As for setting the scene here as a battle for the gods, it is to make it easier to drive back those who are trying to repeat the mistakes of the past. ”

"No, I don't think so." Xia Chiyu narrowed his eyes and sneered, "This is a bit 'greasy'. ”

Gu Qinyan said angrily beside him: "What are you serious about with an NPC?" Can people still lie to you? ”

"I don't understand what you mean, but I didn't lie to you." Sira still had a soft smile on her face.

"I think the great sage Laroufal really wants us to see something in the world in this painting." Xia Chiyu replied coldly, "Those things were supposed to be at the top of this tower, but when we were about to arrive, the time stream suddenly returned to the normal timeline. I think it's somebody trying to stop us from seeing that thing. ”

"What do you mean?" Nadya asked curiously, and Xia Chiyu explained as he paced, "If the Great Sage Larufal really wants us to be able to form an alliance with the dwarves smoothly, there is no need to hide this key here, we can find it directly in the palace." The first thing that makes me wonder is this portrait, why is there a portrait of such a woman in a dwarven palace? ”

"yes, I thought it was weird at the time, too." Liu Yiyu muttered quietly.

Yuxi also muttered: "Indeed...... Especially with so many paintings, only this one is human. ”

"I think this is actually a hint given to us by the Great Sage Larufal, plus the scene of the Battle of the Gods at that time, and the mastermind behind the scenes that we met in the alchemy laboratory before......" Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu smiled confidently: "I boldly guess that what the Great Sage Larufal wants us to see should be this symbol." ”

As he spoke, Xia Chiyu waved his staff and knocked on the ground, and a circle of impact spread out with him as the center, blowing away the thick dust deposited on the ground in an instant, and on the top of the tower, a circle of magic circles appeared, and the spell in the center of the magic circle was the glowing charm printed on the forehead under the hood of the "mysterious man" they met in the alchemy laboratory that day!

"This guy!" Gu Qinyan immediately set up an attack posture vigilantly, "You are the mysterious person!?" ”

The kind and gentle smile on Ciadra's face suddenly became gloomy and cold, the strange seven-pointed star charm appeared from her forehead, and the white robe turned brown on the portrait, she sneered and asked, "How did you find this?" ”

"That's right, eat fish, how did you find out!" Liu Yiyu asked with admiration on her face.

"Oh, but I didn't discover the world from this painting." Xia Chiyu replied with a flat face, "When I saw that mysterious person before, the charm on his head made me pay more attention. Because I read that it was recorded in the history books that the Protoss was composed of multiple communities, and each group of leaders of the Protoss had their own imprint, similar to the emblem of the tribe. ”

"At that time, you suspected that the mysterious man was a Protoss?" Nadya asked in surprise, "You're too observant!" ”

"Well, it's not that I started to suspect it at that time, but the method of this series of events." Xia Chiyu said with a wry smile, "Generally speaking, if it is the revenge of the demon clan, they should not play so many small tricks, and they don't have that ability and IQ." In the style of the demons, it must be to gather a large army and then make a comeback, using force to directly defeat the human race. And such tricks and tactics to sow discord and resourcefulness, only the Protoss has such wisdom. In addition......"

Speaking of this, Xia Chiyu turned to Sira and said with a smile: "Whether it is the elven side of the potion or the dwarven side of the plague, there are traces of mind control magic. In the past, why did the Protoss let humans become their own believers before absorbing their spiritual power? Because the person who puts down his guard and trusts the Protoss completely can better squeeze spiritual power from him. ”

Sira just smiled grimly and didn't reply, of course, more because she didn't set the corresponding keyword sense.

"And the last point is," Xia Chiyu finally said, "This kind of alchemy method reminds me of a person. ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu turned to Liu Yiyu: "Xiaoyu, do you remember that a long time ago, in the ruins of the ancient country, you once heard a name called the first alchemist of the empire 'Elrond'?" ”

"Hmm, it seems that I vaguely remember that there is such a person......" Liu Yiyu said stunned, obviously only a little impression, but I don't remember who it is.

"It's not just the ruins of the Ancient Kingdom, but the name Elrond also appears in the Elemental Factory when we fought Hydra Gaznos." Xia Chiyu smirked: "Elrond's identity has always been a mystery. At that time, I suspected that in terms of dynasties, the ruins of the ancient kingdom should be hundreds of years later than the establishment of this elemental factory, but the name of Elrond appeared in both places, the first alchemist of the empire, is it immortal? ”

Saying that, Xia Chiyu looked at the key keeper Sira confidently, and said with a smile: "So, I investigated it and found that in all large-scale plagues, disasters, wars and deaths in history, you can always see the shadow of an alchemist. You say, could this alchemist be the remnants of the Protoss? And this is what the great sage Larufal wants us to see, but what is hidden by you? I should call you...... Guardian Sira, or First Alchemist Elrond, or ......"

Xia Chiyu raised his eyebrows and smiled happily: "The remnants of the Protoss......s party"

Key Keeper Cilla clapped her hands and applauded, "Wonderful, wonderful." It's a shame that someone can tie so many details together...... You've had a lot of experience, human. (To be continued.) )
