Volume 9 Chapter 20 Reinforcements gathered
Durand was stunned for a moment, and when he raised his eyes, he saw his daughter's cute little face that was focused and serious, and he lowered his body slightly at the moment, making his daughter's movements more effortless.
After Catherine hung up the necklace, Durand lowered his head, looked at the necklace pendant in his hand, and asked with a smile, "What is this?" When you meet for the first time, do you give your dad a gift? ”
The chick had just heard the father and daughter talk about the situation in Sendelow, and she was already drowsy when she jumped up and shouted, "Gift? Gift! Chicks want gifts too! Ah, what a beautiful necklace......"
"It's a gift for my father."
Catherine said with a smile, "But this chain is something that every battlemage must wear when moving outside of the strategic fortress. It's a must! ”
The girl explained seriously, it turned out that after the first battle of Yongzhan Fortress, a seven-colored sun composed of formations appeared in the sky above the three strategic fortresses. Seven colors of light shone down and sprinkled all over the qiē places inside the fortress. It is said that this is to prevent the dwarves from mixing in again.
Later, the gods decreed that anyone who left the fortress on a mission must wear this pendant, but did not explain why, only that it was mandatory.
"Essentials ...... when leaving the fortress"
Durand thought for a moment and quickly understood, "The seven-colored sun above the fortress should allow dwarves disguised as normal battle mages to be recognized. ”
And this pendant may be able to serve a similar purpose. Or can it help the battle mages resist the process of dwarven transformation? If it weren't for that, the gods wouldn't let everyone carry this beam, but they wouldn't say why! ”
"Who developed this chain?" Durand asked.
"It's a guy named Snell." Catherine said calmly, "This man is said to have been living in the Preparatory Academy all this time, and has never been seen in the outside world. ”
Durand let out an "um", not surprisingly, Snell's research skills are very strong, maybe he has already studied something from the dwarven captive.
The situation is now largely understood. The next plan is also here. Durand's body shape and appearance changed for a while, and he returned to a mediocre appearance, and then said to his daughter: "Next, I will continue to participate in the next battles and operations as your personal escort Akai." Don't be mistaken. ”
"Ah, that'......" Catherine seemed a little unhappy.
She grew up without her parents. In the girl's mind, since she has such a powerful and mysterious father, she inevitably wants to let the world know that her father is a great hero. This is human nature, no matter how precocious Catherine is. She was a young girl after all.
Catherine also knew in her heart that Durand concealed his identity in order to be able to win by surprise when fighting against the dwarves.
In addition, after Manus was trapped in Seven Colors City, many people in Sendro thought that the knife in Manus's hand was fake, and there were many criticisms about whether Durand gave Manus a fake knife. Catherine was reluctant to say these unhappy things, so she didn't tell Duland. But from this point of view. It's really not a good idea for Durand to identify himself at this time.
What Catherine didn't know was that Durand didn't want to reveal his true identity, and for another reason: he didn't want to let Sheldon know that he had returned alive.
In Duland's mind. Rochester, who can overwhelm the cyan angry Manus, is naturally a formidable opponent.
But the current enemy may not only come from the outside, but also from the inside.
In such a strange and incomprehensible situation. Durand wants to be able to hide in the shadows and hook the enemy, which is the way to grasp the initiative.
Knowing the daughter Mo Ruo's father. Seeing that Catherine remained silent, Durand immediately guessed what she was thinking.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, gently touched the girl's head, and said slowly: "Little Catherine, you have to understand: what exactly do we want now?" Is it personal fame and fortune? Or win this battle beautifully, and then reunite as a family? ”
Catherine's face turned pale, she took a breath, nodded seriously, and said, "...... Got it, Dad. ”
"Still call me Daddy?"
"Well...... Oh! That one...... Akai, haha! Catherine took out the posture of a superior, raised her chin slightly, pursed her lips and asked, "Akai, tell me honestly, why is your energy level so high?" ”
"Back to Miss Catherine, I can't tell you the source of my energy level for a while, but it's not from the 'Gathering Energy Array'." Durand replied respectfully.
"Not from the Gathering Array?" Catherine showed joy and asked, "Then you didn't fuse the divine fire, aren't you a god?" ”
"I haven't fused with divine fire."
"That's great!" Catherine clapped her hands and said with a smile, "If you don't have a divine fire in your body, it's no problem." I'll do my best to help you become a 'Gatherer', so that your strength may be able to improve to a big level again!" ”
Durand hurriedly made a thankful gesture: "Thank you, Miss Catherine!" ”
"Yes, who made you my personal bodyguard?"
"My subordinates will definitely go to the soup for Miss Catherine!"
Father and daughter shut at the same time, looked at each other for a moment, and then burst out laughing.
Although the two met again for the first time in more than ten years, blood was thicker than water, and the feeling of closeness and tacit understanding naturally came out without any intention.
But to put it mildly, Catherine just said that after Durand becomes a "gatherer", his strength will be improved by a big step again, but he is telling the truth.
To measure a person's strength or weakness, it is nothing more than the two aspects of "energy level unit" and "rule level".
In terms of rules, Durand is not a god who does not fuse divine fire. But he has never been weak in the rules!
the true form of the spell "Liangyi Pisces";
The true form of the pupil technique "Ice and Fire Eyes";
The true form of the chopping technique is "Zero Style", "Empty Zero Style", "Zero Style", "Zero Cross";
God-level bloodline ability "Judgment Sword";
The true form of the profession "Blade Trial".
- These rules, in terms of rank, even surpass most gods. Although a single rule is pulled out, it is not as comprehensive as the ten origin rules mastered by Shen Yuan, which are all-encompassing and omnipotent.
But with so many rules put together, it's basically complete, with attack, defense, speed, domain, and field control. All the most important aspects of the battle are already in place.
Not to mention the absolute defense-breaking ability of the "Trial Rules", it is a unique and powerful ability in the entire dimensional world!
In terms of energy level, Durand has the help of a third class and a chick, and as long as he is in Sendlow, he can increase tenfold anytime and anywhere, from the current 100 units to 1000 unit energy level. (Sorry for the 1100 units in the first few chapters, which is a mistake.) Our Durand has not yet cultivated to the limit of the energy level of 110, it is still 100, and it will be 1000 after ten times, so I hereby explain, sorry, sorry. )
Although the "Gathering Array" has many weaknesses and will reduce mobility, Durand thinks that in terms of rules, it is more difficult to go further in a short period of time, and if he wants to improve his strength in a short period of time, it is indeed the best choice to increase the energy level with the Gathering Array.
Durand made a decision in his heart, so he said directly: "...... Well, when will I become a Gatherer? ”
"Right now."
Catherine is also resolute, "Over the years, I have specially recruited some subordinates with dual attributes of ice and fire, and now they can finally come in handy, hehe." ”
At this moment, Durand suddenly showed a listening look. Catherine was slightly stunned, and then began to perceive as well.
After a while, the father and daughter looked at each other and said at the same time: "The reinforcements from all three directions have arrived!" ”
……
When Durand and Catherine returned to the Valley of the Prophets, all three reinforcements had arrived, plus Catherine and Dale's subordinates, a total of five reinforcements, faintly divided into three groups in the valley.
Durand walked behind Catherine's side one by one, looking around vigilantly, completely in the posture of a personal bodyguard, and at the same time quietly running the "Eyes of Ice and Fire", directly transmitting Catherine's soul: "Remember, I am the escort Akai." ”
Catherine nodded imperceptibly, and quickly activated the energy level, so that the red eyes that had cried returned to normal, and did not show any flaws.
Dressed in a plain robe, with straight black hair hanging down to her waist like a waterfall, she walked steadily in front of Durand, and became Catherine, a strange girl who was respected in Sendlow's status.
When the two returned to the valley, they saw Dale and Nero, the god of the earth, standing next to Nero. Dale's troops have become one with Nero's troops.
Dale was saying in a majestic, domineering and majestic tone, "I heard Nero say that on their way to this rendezvous, they were ambushed by the black dwarves!" In other words, the route of our march, including the purpose and composition of the march, may already be known to the black dwarves! ”
"What?" "Ambush?" "Leaked?" "How is that possible?" There were many sounds of surprise in the valley.
But it was Dale who spoke, and Nero's team was indeed wounded, and even Nero himself was a little pale, so the battle mages quickly understood that Dale was right.
Dale solemnly continued: "In this case, this trip may be more dangerous than imagined! As it turns out, I've come to the right place! You must know that Miss Catherine is young after all, although her strength is not weak, it takes time to launch the Gathering Array, and it is inevitable that there will be risks, and she may be defeated when she is ambushed. ”
When Durand heard this, he couldn't help but sneer and scolded in his heart: "This bastard actually has the idea of commanding reinforcements from all walks of life!" ”
However, before Durand could speak, a voice that was even rougher than Dale sounded not far from Duland: "Lord Dale, you are a god now, you can just say what you want to say, don't beat around the bush like before!" ”
The person who spoke was the leader of one of the three reinforcements, and he was an old acquaintance of Durand, the dragon dancer, Duncan. (To be continued......)
