Chapter 192: The Array of Light
"Damn!"
Zora shook the dust on his body, the originally bright red archbishop's robe was now in tatters, and there was basically no decorative effect except for the basic shaming effect; And when Zola turned his head and saw the knights of the new Holy Knights behind him, his anger grew even bigger - with the protection of the field shield, the annoying trap did not cause trouble for these new Holy Knights, so all the new Holy Knights were as bright as new.
In comparison, he is more and more like a beggar.
Bastard, I'm going to get you caught and make you suffer the humiliation I've suffered!
Zola swore in his heart, but after a few moments, he was in a state of despair—ten hours had passed since the morning, and it was now dark, but all he could chase was the figure of the other man until now; The other party's speed was very fast, and he knew very well when that nightmare appeared, but compared to speed, the other party would even arrange such an inferior thing as a trap, which he really didn't expect.
Although the effect of these traps is not very large, with his Sun-level strength, it is basically completely useless, but he has to be careful - because he has no idea whether this is the other party paralyzing him and making him have no scruples, or whether the other party can only arrange traps that appear to such an extent; In fact, with the increase in strength, unless it is a magic trap arranged by some great wizards, the trap under normal circumstances, for a person of Zola's level, is simply a pediatric, and he calls it 'inferior'. It's a fact from the heart.
But. Facing Ye Qi. Although Zola has always tried his best to show his contempt, he has an extraordinary solemnity in his heart - to be able to become an existence that is valued by Iyeta and given such a task, Zola relies on more than just strength; If only the strength of the Solar level can obtain his current status, then there are too many backup candidates who can replace him.
What is this guy trying to do?
Zola stared ahead—before. The figure of the other party just disappeared there; And in order to avoid the 'trap' that might arise, he had to wait here with the new Holy Order for the exact news of Anwar, the clergyman who was also sent to hunt down Ye Qi, in addition to his own reuse, because of his own ability: an ability that is very suitable for pursuit.
In terms of tracking ability alone, Anwar can definitely rank second in the entire Holy See!
As for the first place?
Naturally, it was the Lord Iyeta to whom they were allegiated.
Bang, bang......
The undisguised sound of proximity did not dispel Zola's vigilance, he stared at the dense bushes, and it was not until it became clear that it was Anwar who appeared, and he completely relaxed his vigilance-
"How?"
"Under a hill about fifteen kilometres ahead; The other party's perception is very keen, and I was discovered just when I got close! ”
After Zora saw Anwar's embarrassed appearance that was not much different from herself. couldn't help frowning, and asked very quickly; And then. Anwar's answer made Zola frown slightly-in Zola's heart, he was not worried about Anwar's injury or death, he was just worried that the task given to him by the Pope would not be completed.
"Are there traps or anything like that?"
Zola confirmed again.
"Where I can find out, no!"
Anwar replied as he casually drew on the ground where he could find - the center of the circle in the middle was undoubtedly Yeqi, and there was a considerable large area around it representing the unknown; Such a large unknown area made Zora frown again, and he asked, "Is there no way to get closer?" ”
"No, this range is already my limit; Once I get close again, I can only ......"
Anwar didn't finish speaking, but pointed to his embarrassed appearance, the meaning of which was naturally self-evident; Then, he gave his opinion: "I think the dragon of Shak did it on purpose, he wants us to divide our forces and explore, and then defeat each of them!" ”
The biggest advantage of the battle array is to gather the strength of everyone to reach a new height, and the biggest disadvantage is also the large number of people - perhaps because of the transformation, these new holy knights have extraordinary adaptability to the battle array, but the basic principle of the battle array cannot be changed, and it still relies on quantity to break through quality; Therefore, once the number is reduced, then their advantage will naturally cease to exist.
Zola, who knew this well, immediately stated his position: "It is absolutely impossible to divide the troops!" ”
Anwar also agreed with such a position, but when he thought of the task given by the adult, he immediately smiled bitterly: "Then will we chase after it like this?" I'm afraid he's back in Shak, and we won't be able to capture him! ”
"If we go back to Shak, we'll be fine; A fixed goal is always better than a wandering goal! Zola sighed softly, he shook his head, and said, "I'm most worried about him, what kind of thing we don't know!" ”
"You mean, traps? You shouldn't have to worry about this, right? ”
After hearing his colleague and turning the topic back, Anwar couldn't help but feel a little relaxed with an ordinary face, but always showed a solemn appearance - those so-called 'traps' along the way, in Anwar's opinion, were an ordinary level, if it wasn't definitely arranged by Ye Qi, then he would definitely think that it was arranged by a hunter casually;
At the very least, the several encounters he encountered in a row were all very ordinary, and even the holy flame that he was protecting himself could not break through.
"Do you think that's something you don't have to worry about?"
Zola undoubtedly saw the casual look on his colleague's face, and couldn't help but sink - to be honest, if the other party wasn't cooperating with him, Zola would never care what the other party wanted to do; But at the moment. He had to be reminded. Because of the unconscious negligence of the other party. It's likely that he'll be affected.
"Every one of us is bewitched by the youth of the Shak Dragon, and has contempt, even when we see the message; I'm one of them, and if it weren't for the last time I sent Shak, I wouldn't have been able to fully understand what Shak's dragon meant......" After a deliberate pause, Zola continued: "Have you forgotten that kick this morning?" ”
Such a question made Anwar's face stiffen - everyone did not want to be uncovered, and Anwar was no exception; But. Anwar's inner annoyance soon vanished without a trace, and he pondered Zola's words; After a moment, he nodded and said, "It's me who underestimated the enemy!" The young face of the Shak Dragon always confuses my vision! ”
"That's right, there have been too many people who have lost their lives under such confusion, and I don't want the two of us to follow in our footsteps!"
Anwar's candid attitude made Zola involuntarily say more, and it was very obvious. The two were on the same side at the moment—although allegiance to Iyeta abounded in the Holy See. But this allegiance is only for Iyeta alone, and for the others, they are still competitive, even hostile.
Same beliefs, but in different ways, sometimes, hostility is inevitable!
"I hope we can also have a happy cooperation in the future!"
Anwar said with a pun.
"If this mission can be successfully completed, our cooperation will inevitably need to go further!"
Zola is clearly willing to do such an alliance; However, he didn't immediately agree—for them at this moment, the key to completing the task of the Lord was to capture the dragon of Shak; If this mission cannot be completed, then no matter how much the alliance is, it will be useless.
Obviously, Anwar also knew about such a situation, and after he was silent for a moment, he was suddenly stunned, and then he raised his head sharply and said to Zola: "According to our situation, if you want to capture Shak's dragon, it is a joke at all; Although the battle formation that has been adjusted by His Majesty is extremely powerful on the new Holy Knight, it is impossible to catch up with the Xak Dragon with the Nightmare as a mount, even if we have deliberately adjusted the armor before leaving! ”
"What do you mean?"
Zola's eyes looked at Anwar, with his understanding of Anwar, there is no doubt that Anwar at this moment has a better suggestion - for a good suggestion, Zola will not refuse!
"If we chase the dragon of Shak, we will not be able to catch up at all; But if the dragon of Shak comes after us, the result will naturally be ......"
"You mean Randingburg?"
Before Anwar had finished speaking, Zola had already guessed what he wanted to say, and immediately continued; Then the two of them glanced at each other, and immediately laughed - the entire Lorant Dark World Realm knew that the lair of the Shak Dragon was in Landingburgh, and it was not only the other party's lair, but the other party's friends, subordinates, etc., once they were about to attack there, even if the Shak Dragon ran fast, it would definitely stop and chase them at that extremely fast speed.
After all, the weaknesses of witchers are all so obvious.
"Our current location is on the edge of the forest-free area and the summer forest area, and at our speed, if we can catch up with the bay area in a straight line, we will be able to set foot on the land of the bay area in two days at most! If you can, it's also a very good choice to clean up the family that has the blood of the infidels! ”
Anwar waved and took a march map from a new holy knight, and held out his finger, first indicating where he and the others were, and then indicating the distance of the target—the entire summer forest area, if you look at the map, is a slightly cysted triangle that stands up, and the position they are in at the moment is at the top corner of this erected slightly cysted triangle, so it is not very difficult to cross here.
If it is in the hinterland of the Xialin District, at the level of 'slightly cystic', even if they are fast, it will take longer.
"In two days, we will appear in the Farth of the Hellin, and then attack Randingburg directly, not afraid that the dragon of Shak will not stop and fight us to the death! And now, what we need is to appease him and not reveal our true intentions; After all. If you have a hostage in hand. This kind of battle will be very easy! ”
Zola flicked his fist. said confidently; Anwar on the side nodded approvingly.
……
Ye Qi, who was sitting on the ground, had a bright light coming out of his fingertips, the brightness, shape, and nature of the expression were all like the sword rays seen in the Radiance Canyon, but compared to the dazzling sharpness of the sword rays, the sword rays in Ye Qi's hands were much more illusory; To put it simply, the former is like ice in the sun, while the latter is smoke, even if it is essentially the same. But the difference is not a little bit apart.
However, Ye Qi looked at the illusory bright light in his hand, but he didn't have any frustration, and even had a hint of happiness-
Is this the basis of Blade of Light?
Raising his finger, Ye Qi was depicted in the void like this, the bright light was like a bright colored pen, dancing in the night sky, and when Ye Qi's finger stopped, the bright light suddenly flashed, blooming brighter light; And that's not all. That sense of illusion gradually disappeared in this bright light. It seemed to have solidified a little, and there was a hint of resemblance to the bright sword light seen in the Glorious Canyon.
To reach the level of those bright swords on the cliffs of the Radiant Canyon, it would take at least twenty or more engravings, and to reach the length of the half-moon swords emitted by the phantom left by Hortellier, it would take at least a thousand carved formers......
Feeling the sharpness of the sword at his fingertips, Ye Qi secretly estimated that the cultivation of this "Light Blade" was introduced today. As he lured the Pseudo-Holy Order of the Holy See behind him towards the Riptide Strait, Ye Qi made an inadvertent attempt on Groening's back; At first, Ye Qi didn't plan to achieve any results from his cultivation, he just wanted to give it a try; What he didn't expect was that the cultivation of the first step of "Light Blade" was unexpectedly simple.
It was a kind of method similar to "Blood Transformation Rune", in Ye Qi's impression, he should not have the 'energy' mentioned in "Light Blade", but after a casual try, the so-called 'sword ray' appeared, and it was very easy, as if instinctively going to eat and drink.
Looking at the illusory bright color between his fingers, Ye Qi finally attributed it to the credit of [Cold Weapon (Master)] - except for this possibility, there was no one in his entire attribute column that could match the above statement in "Light Blade"; After stepping through the most difficult step described in "Light Blade", Ye Qi himself did not have any difficulty for him for "Light Blade", but when it came to the next step, portraying the sword and letting the sword in his hand be blessed, Ye Qi encountered unexpected trouble.
The first portrayal was very successful, and almost at the second stroke, Ye Qi had to give up the sword in his hand - in "Light Blade", there is a very simple description of the failure of the portrayal: an unstable explosion; The instability is the instability of time and environment, no one knows how much the sword will explode, and the sword mang's prostration on various inanimate objects makes this instability go to the next level again.
However, Ye Qi didn't have to worry about such a thing, behind him, there were nearly two thousand people to clean him up - although the explosion of the sword that had failed to portray it was unstable, there was one condition that would make it inevitable, and that was 'touch'!
Whether it is the gentle touch of the fingers, or the touch of the soles of the feet, it will make the sword burst out; And obviously, behind Ye Qi, in the case of so many people, there will be no fewer people who go back to touch it, coupled with Ye Qi's deliberate 'throwing' of the position of the sword, everything seems so harmonious and environmentally friendly - of course, from another point of view, Ye Qi's number of failures is also unexpected.
In fact, this is already a success for Ye Qi, who is curious, just wants to see what the so-called 'sword ray' is, and he has already satisfied his curiosity in a casual way, but on the way to satisfy his curiosity, he has encountered an unexpected setback.
And for such a level of frustration, Ye Qi naturally doesn't care - it can be seen from the fact that he has been able to fail countless times and successfully complete a portrayal.
And after one success, the subsequent success becomes a matter of course; Ye Qi's fingers rotated in the void again and again, and the bright color that was originally like smoke moved with each turn. will condense a point. Until the real edge was revealed—a bright sword about two feet in length swallowed in Ye Qi's hand. It was as if he had come to life, and this was the result of Ye Qi's two hundredth portrayal.
Feeling the sharp cutting sensation coming from above, Ye Qi's fingers trembled slightly, and the sword light that was about two feet long disappeared into his fingertips—an extremely special but familiar force, filled with Ye Qi's index finger waving the sword; Completely in line with the description of "Light Blade", Ye Qi nodded with satisfaction.
According to the description of "Light Blade", there is no limit to such a portrayal superposition in theory, and it can continue as long as there is time. However, according to Hortlier's annotation, it shows that this is just an ideal state, in fact, as the number of portrayal stacks increases, the subsequent portrayal stacks will become extremely difficult, and one bad thing is to create an unstable state of bomb again.
When Hotlier had been portrayed five hundred times in a row, he could no longer proceed in any case, and the explosions almost drove the genius who was once seen by the world mad and suffocated; However, true genius is always genius – Hotlier has created his own technique based on the characteristics of Lightblade: multiple portrayal superimposition.
He stacked the sword five hundred times with each carving. As a benchmark, and then arrange it in the most basic way. After countless failures, he finally formed the state he demanded and found his own path - 'Extreme Blade'!
Of course, Ye Qi can't reach the other party's point at once, in fact, two hundred times is already Ye Qi's limit at the moment - Ye Qi has already felt what Hotlier said, the feeling of exploding after portraying it once; Ye Qi will not have any complaints about this; After all, he is very aware of his talent, the average among ordinary people, and it is very remarkable to be able to achieve this.
Ye Qi's fingers danced again, and a bright color like smoke appeared on his fingertips, and then he stared quickly, and began to confide in his edge—although Ye Qi would not choose the 'Extreme Blade' as his path, this did not prevent him from borrowing Hotley's multiple portrayals.
After all, to some extent, "Light Blade", which has multiple portrayals, is undoubtedly a very good choice - different from martial arts like "Sword Wind", which shows its power after being cast; "Light Blade", a special martial art that is prepared in advance, the more fully prepared, the more powerful it is, is undoubtedly very suitable for Ye Qi's appetite.
Before doing anything, Ye Qi always has to think about it countless times, in case there are any mistakes, naturally he doesn't mind preparing more "Light Blades" in advance - in fact, if he can, Ye Qi very much wants to portray to the point where he can destroy the gods with one sword, but this is impossible, unless he chooses the path of 'Extreme Blade', otherwise, multiple portrayals also have their own limitations.
What's more, even the so-called 'Extreme Blade' has its own limitations, otherwise why would Hotlier be restrained by the Holy See and have to come forward to create a 'Glorious Canyon'?
Destroying gods with a sword is undoubtedly a very great goal, but wishes are always just wishes—and if you want to fulfill your wishes, you can only rely on strength, not imagination.
【Alchemy (Mastery) +1】
When Ye Qi completed the five sword rays carved to the limit, the system gave such an unexpected hint; However, Ye Qi just glanced at it, and then withdrew his gaze - in addition to wanting to complete the arrangement of a hundred as soon as possible, it was more about the emphasis on Ye Qi's skills, if this time was the increase of [Cold Weapon (Master)], then he would definitely be happy.
However, when such a hint appeared several times in a row throughout the night, and directly raised the level to [Alchemy (Mastery): 20], Ye Qi also had to accept such an unexpected joy with great relief—and when a light appeared in the sky, the arrangement of the multiple depictions of the sword was completely completed; It was very smooth, whether it was two hundred swords that were depicted two hundred times, or the arrangement of one hundred times after that, there were no mistakes, all of them were completed in one go.
Looking down at the white-gold light emitted from the edge of his right index finger in the sun, Ye Qi shrugged his shoulders, according to the description on "Light Blade", this is a normal phenomenon of storing that special sword light in the body - since it is a normal phenomenon, Ye Qi will naturally not be overly entangled; What's more, this kind of light is very well chosen, and if you don't look closely, you can't find it at all.
It's just the index finger of the right hand......
Ye Qi thought about the time he had left, and he could complete the arrangement of the multiple portrayals of "The Blade of Light" a few more times—after the improvement of Hotlier, "The Blade of Light" has undergone a qualitative change on the original basis; Not only did the place where the sword was stored change from two palms to fingers on the palms, but each finger had such an ability.
In this regard, Ye Qi can only praise the genius of Hotlier - not only has the stored power increased by five times, but the power is more than ten times higher, Ye Qi basically has no adjectives except for genius.
Of course, from this, Ye Qi determined that this Hotlier was definitely a wizard, and maybe a so-called wizard nobleman - because, except for the heirs cultivated by such a family, Ye Qi could hardly imagine that an ordinary person could have such a study of the portrayal of alchemy.
Definitely a master!
With this admiration for Hortrill, Ye Qi walked to the side of Groening, who looked very impatient—for the Nightmare, watching his master 'paint' all night, especially in such an abstract way, was really something he couldn't understand.
However, when it saw its master coming towards it, it was excited to gouge its hooves; Because, after a day's chase yesterday, it knew that it would be doing it again today – and Groening was happy to do it.
……
In the early morning in Landingburgh, the little man, the big man and Ava sat in the basement hall of the bar again; However, compared with yesterday's relaxation, at this time, the faces of the three of them all had a solemnity that could not be concealed-
"It's ...... that so many dark creatures could join us"
Ava looked at the information sent back in his hand, sighed, and didn't know what to say next—yesterday's interrogation didn't go as smoothly as expected, and almost as soon as he entered that particular cell, the seemingly broken young man began to confront him, and after releasing several psychedelic potions in a row, at dawn today, he got the result he wanted.
And at the moment of getting such a result, Ava expressed his helplessness - he couldn't imagine that there were so many dark creatures in Hailin, and what they joined forces to get rid of that day was just the 'scouts' in the vanguard army; of course, more importantly, these dark creatures actually chose to unite; Ava knew very well what the consequences would be if these dark creatures rushed into the Bay Area.
So, right away, he contacted two friends to discuss how to deal with it.
"Guys, let's think about the good side, at the very least, we got this news in advance, not on the battlefield!" Glancing at the solemn appearance of the two friends, the little man couldn't help but pat the shoulders of the two and said with a smile.
