571 Devil's Heart 5
Although there are no electronic devices such as cameras, which were born with industrial civilization, in the world of Telos, the props that use guò magic to record audio-visual information are also stored. Although it can't be popularized among the general population on a large scale, it's not a very high-end magic item.
It's just that the "record gem" that Gordon found from Rick's corpse is a little different.
Although the main function of this strange cube-shaped gem is to "record", in fact, its most valuable function is "analysis". Although this recording gem is also like those magic crystal balls, which can be used to record what happened in a certain area for a certain period of time in the form of images, it also has a more special function, that is, it can completely analyze all the changes in source energy that occur in the recorded space and time.
This function is somewhat similar to Gordon's Eye of Truth and Warning, but the function of the eye is more focused on observation and insight, while this gem is more focused on analysis and deconstruction.
Gordon now understood why the cult commander was able to master dozens of different swordsmanship as Baron Yi described. At the age of thirty, Rick would not have possessed such exquisite sword skills under normal circumstances, with his experience and experience, but if he had a record gem, then it would make sense.
If Rick takes this gem and records the battle scene of a famous swordsman, then he only needs to keep watching the images played by the gem to learn the meaning of the other party's swordsmanship and master the tricks. If it's just a normal image crystal ball. Naturally, this cannot be done. Because even if the movements are completely recorded, if you don't understand the distribution of muscle power of the swordsman and the flow of life energy in the body. Then it's just learning to be an empty shelf.
However, in the video that records the gemstone, both the inside and the outside are presented. Those who have a heart will be able to learn a lot through this information.
Recording gems is very rare, and since Gordon came to the world of Telos, he has not heard of anyone holding such a treasure. Of course, even if anyone does own a record gem, I'm afraid they won't make a big deal about it. Instead, take it as your own secret.
However, in the game world, players with heavy treasures will be much more high-profile than in reality. Gao has been registered since the beginning of the operation of "Ancient Era". There was once a Storm Troop who won the Arena four times in a row. The reason why she has overwhelming strength in the arena is because she obtained a record gem and then asked the senior mage in the guild to create a magic item that can analyze the opponent's combat skills.
Now Gordon has also found such a precious record gem, and he is naturally overjoyed. He wouldn't use this gem to learn swordsmanship. However, it is used to learn arcane. It's the same.
When a mage casts a spell, he shows the appearance to the eyes of the onlooker, which is chanting, gestures, and various sound and light effects. If you rely on these superficial things alone, you will definitely not be able to understand the core information of a spell. Spell configurations, energy flows, and so on, cannot be seen with the naked eye alone.
But with record gems, it's different. Use this gemstone as the core material. After creating a prop that has been optimized to record the casting process. Gordon can use guò to record the scene of the high-level mage casting spells, and then use guò reverse analysis to learn spells.
Although this process is very troublesome, even if you want to use conventional means such as purchase and exchange to obtain spells above the sixth ring, it is still very troublesome, and it is unavoidable, so this option is acceptable.
Moreover, the most important thing is that now Gordon has a ready-made teacher who has mastered high-level spells - Demon Pet Quack.
If there is no quack, even if Gordon succeeds in making the recording gem into a magic prop, it is not easy to record the process of the high-level mage casting the spell. There are only a few spell slots for spells above the six rings, and the number of spells that can be cast every day is limited, not to mention, the casting materials of high-level spells are valuable and scarce, so it is not so easy to invite a high-level mage to come to the scene to demonstrate Gordon's spells.
Alternatively, Gordon can sneak over a high-level mage while he is fighting an enemy and secretly record the opponent's spell casting process with a recording gem. However, this kind of clandestine photography is very risky, and once it is discovered, I am afraid that it will be attacked. In line with the principle of prudence, this kind of death should not be tried lightly.
But with quack, it's very easy.
This pet devoured Rob. When the floor-to-ceiling mirror left by Grand Duke Antello, all kinds of precious spell books in the private library of the Grand Duke who connected the mirror to the other dimension were also eaten. Then, for some reasons that Gordon couldn't explain, Gaga's alienated into the crystal primordial, and he also mastered all kinds of high-level spells recorded in the Grand Duke's treasured spell books.
The only problem is that Gaga, who can't speak, can't use the way of spiritual communication to transmit the spell information he has mastered to Gordon, and even when fighting, which spell he casts is completely random, and Gordon, the master, can't control it. Because he was too unstable, he now only used Gaga's use in battle as a miracle move, and did not dare to regard it as a killer weapon that could turn the tide of battle or save his own life.
However, these problems can be ignored. As long as Quack is still Gordon's pet, then it can cast spells at any time according to Gordon's instructions - although the type of spells is uncontrollable, at least the spells cast are high-level spells above the six rings. Then, Gordon only needs to record the process with the recording gem when he casts the spell, and then slowly observe and analyze it, and then he can learn new high-level spells.
Even if he learned the non-mainstream spell of "anti-gravity" that Gaga had just cast, Gordon was satisfied.
The Record Gem is a rare high-level magic item, and in the indiscriminate bombardment of Gordon just now, Rick's body was not only unrecognizable, but most of the items on his body were also destroyed by destructive arcane energy. However, this gem is intact, which is thankful.
Now Gordon had an idea in his mind about how to use this gem to learn high-level spells, but he had to put it into practice. There is still a bit of preparation to be done. And now, when the whole city of Fryjus is plunged into terror and chaos, it is obviously impossible for him to think slowly about this kind of question.
The mage tossed the gem into the dimensional bag, cleaned it up, and headed for the lower stone area.
Gordon came down the hill, crossed Platinum Square, and walked down the road to the downstone district. But the deeper you go into the city center. The chaos around us is becoming more and more apparent. The followers of the Death One Sect not only killed people everywhere in the city, but also created terror. To make matters worse, they also set fires everywhere to add to the chaos.
Most of the buildings in the city of Flaires are made of stone, although they are more fire-resistant than wooden buildings. But the city of Fryjus is a typical ancient city. Whether it is urban planning or municipal water supply and drainage system, it is very backward, not to mention any professional fire brigade.
After today's attack, even if the true purpose of the Death One Zhi Sect is not achieved, but this fire alone will probably cause the entire Flaires City to be greatly damaged. When the time comes, will it be possible to organize effective forces to fight back against the cult and stop the larger conspiracy brewing during the Huiyang Festival? It's still an unknown.
Gordon walked through the streets as if he were walking in hell. Even if he has mastered the art of water formation. And use all the mana to fight the fire, I'm afraid it won't help, so I can only choose to ignore the tragic situation around me and move on.
When he arrived at the lower stone area, he found that the fire was gradually decreasing, but the smell of blood in the air was getting stronger. The streets were littered with the corpses of dwarves, mixed with many dead cultists in red and gray cloaks. It seems that the dwarves who live here have launched a resolute counterattack against the enemy, and although the losses are great, they have also achieved some success.
Gordon summoned all the Battle Ice Golems once more, and then blessed them with many detection spells, and began to move forward cautiously. He didn't go far, and although he didn't encounter enemies or find survivors, he did find something unusual.
The walls of the buildings on both sides of the road have a distinctive black trace. The marks weren't caused by any kind of arcane energy, but Gordon was familiar. The son of God he had met in the mountains of Vesura, Alain. Telver, will use this power.
After a while, the surrounding environment changed again, and the corpses killed in the battle became fewer, replaced by piles of black ash on both sides of the street. Many of the buildings seemed to have been cut open by a giant knife used by the giants, and the entire upper part disappeared completely, leaving only the extremely neat cross-sections, and the black marks left on the masonry.
Such destructive power is staggering.
And those piles of black ash on the side of the street are probably killed by the divine power of the three dark gods, and then directly dusted the corpses.
At this time, Gordon received another message from Xie Ona. At this time, she was in the most famous dwarven tavern in the Lower Stone District, "Ancestral Glory", and some people were fighting off the siege of the cultists. The frenzied cultists seem to be pouring oil around the tavern, intending to burn down the entire building.
Hearing the news, Gordon breathed a sigh of relief.
Because judging from the traces of the battle just now, Mr. Miko, who wielded the divine power of the three dark gods, was all the way to the dwarven consulate in the lower stone area. Since the key figures of the Death One Zhi Sect have already been dispatched, it just means that the ultimate target of the other party's attack today is in the consulate.
It was a blessing to be able to find my sister away from that kind of conflict hotspot.
He quickly turned left at the intersection ahead, and then led his golem followers to speed up, and in a short time they reached their destination. The four Battle Ice Golems rushed out first, and Gordon himself cast spells with Ainia.
Among the cultists besieging the Dwarven Tavern, there were few tough characters like Rick, so Gordon quickly defeated the enemy. While the Ice Elf Queen uses a blizzard spell to extinguish the fire around the tavern, Gordon rushes in.
He was greeted not by his sister's hug, but by a strong arrow from Yoo Ma.
"Yikes! Sorry hosts! Eli screamed in fright, then patted her chest and apologized, "I didn't expect it to be you, I thought it was those crazy people rushing in." ”
More than a dozen of the men who held the tavern were dwarves and human citizens unknown to Gordon. And the targets of his quest - his sister Sheona and Eli Elaine, the little maids who followed her, and the stocky merchant Monsieur Duro - were also in the tavern.
"Sister. You really are, how can you just use spells without seeing clearly? Fortunately, your level is relatively bad, that strong acid arrow missed, if you really hurt the master, see what you do! Elaine grumbled.
The little maids have been studying hard ever since they were discovered to have arcane talents. It's just that no matter what their level of spell casting is, at least the psychological element zhì is still far from enough to participate in actual combat.
"Forget it. Your master is not weak enough to be hurt by such a spell. "Gordon didn't want to punish Eli either. A little girl who is new to spells, and in such a chaotic and dangerous environment, panic is inevitable. Pressing matter. Let's get out of here first.
Xie Ona walked over and said, "Brother, there are a total of eighteen people here, and four of them were slightly injured. Does not affect movement speed. ”
The brother and sister have already formed a tacit understanding. After Xie Ona met her brother, she didn't waste time with useless shouts and warmth, but said what Gordon was most concerned about.
"Those who have combat effectiveness take their weapons, protect the old, weak, sick and disabled in the middle, and we leave." Gordon said.
Although he didn't have the great ideal of saving everyone in his heart, he still couldn't die for the people in front of him. Besides, even if you don't consider purely moral issues, one of their siblings is Rob. Antello's student. The hero who turned the tide of the battle in the Winter War, the other is Ferredon's Battlefield Angel. The idol that countless girls dream of, and the lover of countless boys' dreams. If you do something that you can't save and ruin your reputation, it's not a good thing for a nobleman.
The crowd rushed out, following closely behind the four Battle Ice Golems. These constructed creatures, with their cold breath and a silent and powerful temperament, are now undoubtedly their patron saints.
Douro finally walked out with a pitch-black sword, wiped the soot from his face, and said to Gordon, "I'm broken." Don't look at me like this, but my bones are still hard. ”
Gordon patted him on the shoulder. The two have worked together for so long, from the most embarrassing situation to today, and have already established enough trust between each other.
After the group left the tavern, they quickly evacuated to other safer neighborhoods that had not yet been attacked by the cult. Gordon also deliberately chose those paths away from the dwarven consulates to move forward. After advancing for more than ten minutes, he encountered only a few sporadic cultists, all of which were easily resolved.
I thought I would escape from the Shimonoshi District so peacefully, but who knew that when I walked to a blacksmith shop called "Illemis Beard", a large explosion suddenly occurred a block away.
It is not very accurate to say that it was a big bang. For there was no fire, no loud noise, and no surging waves. A black cyclone rose into the sky, and then quickly spread around, completely flattening tens of square meters of the surrounding area in an instant.
Gordon and his party watched a three-story building on the side of the street in the blink of an eye, and they were swept into the black energy cyclone, and then turned into nothing, and immediately fell into a panic.
"Xie Ona, you take these people first. I had Ainia and the four golems with me, and that was enough to keep them to safety. Gordon called his sister over with a stern expression.
The explosion of the black cyclone just now, in terms of destructive power, has reached the level of the Nine Rings Spell. And the enemy, who is able to use this power, is moving rapidly in this direction. So Gordon can only let the others go first, and then try it himself to see if he can stop the enemy from advancing.
"Brother, I'll go with you." Sheona was reluctant to part with Gordon.
"Stupid, what can you do with those two rags in your hand?"
Xie Ona looked at the two ordinary long swords in her hand that she had taken from the dead city guards, and pursed her lips.
Half of a warrior's strength is reflected in weapons. If Xie Ona had Zidian and Long Yin in hand, she could also help Gordon. Even her pair of pure gold swords, which had been given by His Majesty the Emperor, were not damaged, could have played a great role. It's just now......
Seeing her brother Yan's expression, Xie Ona had no choice but to nod.
Gordon comforted again: "Don't worry, my brother has countless ways to get out, and he won't come hard." And it's more convenient to go it alone. ”
Time was tight, and Xie Ona no longer hesitated, and pulled Ainia away, who was clamoring to stay and fight side by side with her master.
…………
Twenty minutes ago. When Gordon was still halfway up the Temple Hill, he was in the way with Rick. While Tarafor was fighting, Zakaria was also leading his elite forces to launch a fierce attack on the dwarven consulate in the Lower Stone District.
"This is the consulate of the Gushan Kingdom, which is equivalent to the territory of the kingdom, and your trespassing is tantamount to declaring war with the kingdom!"
Zakaria stretched out his hand and flicked it. The silver magic missile struck the forehead of the dwarven officer who was shouting at him. The blackness of the mana field's energy burst open, eroding the hapless dwarf's skull.
Then, the hot wind of the flames swept by, and the blackened head of the dwarven officer immediately turned into ashes and dissipated into the air.
Seeing this terrible scene, the consulate guards panicked, abandoned the defense line in front of the consulate, and fled to the building, leaving only the headless dwarf corpse.
"Hmph, foolishness! A mere mortal who also wants to compete with the power of the gods? Zakaria's pointed ears twitched, and he sneered contemptuously, "What about declaring war on the Lonely Mountain Kingdom?" And what about declaring war on the entire surface world? Even if war is declared on the entire main material realm, what about it? Sooner or later, I'm going to conquer everything I can see—especially the bitches who use Rose's power to show off their might and oppress men! ”
None of the cultists around dared to disturb the self-talk of one of the sect's supreme leaders, the messenger Zakaria. When the dark elf woke up from the world he was immersed in, he waved his hand and pointed to the gate of the dwarven consulate: "Attack, do your best to destroy a qiē resistant." As long as the holy relic is found, the sacrifice we have paid for today's raid, as well as the sacrifice of all our brothers, will be worth it! ”
The cultists rushed in brandishing their weapons. Zakaria slowly followed.
If you can get the holy relic today, then the loss caused by the loss of the contact list a few days ago can be completely ignored. This will be a heavy victory for the Death One Zhi Sect and a crucial step in completing the final plan.
That night, he encountered an unexpected enemy in the stronghold of the Slum Sect. And the Holy Warrior of the Temple of Dawn, who was able to block his blow, also left an extremely deep impression on Zakaria. Although the power used by the other party seems to have deviated from the path of the Temple of Dawn, this dark elf is not pedantic, and knows that the other party's identity is not ordinary, and his strength is extraordinary. This led him to a state of overly cautious anxiety. The plan in Fryjus City could not be flawed, and the paladin who raided the stronghold in the middle of the night was a factor that could threaten the success of the final plan.
The next day, Zakaria used thunderous means to dispose of all the exposed characters on the list. Even, he was ready to bring the most important of them, the bishop of the Temple of the Dawn. Anissa also gave to kill.
However, the position of this bishop is so important that not only can he hesitate and make up his mind, but also their enemies cannot immediately arrest him in the name of collusion with the cult. Plus Zakaria's brother, who is also the son of God, Alain. Telver was also dissatisfied with his behavior of wantonly cleaning up the interior and causing the death of the Yizhi Sect, so he had no choice but to give up.
"Ahh......h
Because they are both divine sons who have inherited the divine power of the three dark gods, the two are brothers. But on top of this, the two are even more competitors. Now two people can temporarily unite for a common goal. But when the Huiyang Festival comes, if one qiē shun lì, the two of them will also fight for the divine power of the three dark gods, and they will not die.
What's more, Zakaria is still a dark elf, and he has a very real racial conflict with Alain, who is a human. In the other party's opinion, a non-human race like Zakaria is not qualified to become the god son of the dark gods at all.
At this time, the cultist who had just stormed the dwarven consulate ran back and reported, "Lord Destroyer, the holy relic has been found!" (To be continued......)
