Chapter 544: Behind the Shadows
Roddy, who was in the Tasman kingdom, did not know what was going on in the war at the moment, and he listened carefully to Luther's story about the "origins" of the Tevling race. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"In other words, that purple flame has changed your body, but it hasn't become what it looks like it is now?"
Roddy also found himself in the knowledge of almost nothing about Tevelyn at this time, so he now barely missed an opportunity to ask about the details.
"Yes, Lord Roddy. At first, we just had two horns on our heads, and the joints changed, but they didn't become what we are now. ”
Luther pointed to his head, he had six horns of different sizes, and his face was slightly mutated, very different from normal humans, and looked like some kind of monitor lizard.
"Does it change with age, or is it something else?"
Roddy is now very cautious about the keyword "demon", as he realizes that this may be the biggest reason for Augustine to seek out Tevelyn.
"It's not an age change, it's a ... Special circumstances. Luther sighed and slowly recounted what he hadn't said before.
It turned out that the original purple fire affected nearly 800 people. The people who were burned by the flames mutated slightly, and after this mutation, the rest of the village began to distance themselves from them, which later turned into expulsion, and even violent incidents of killing and wounding.
After the mutation, Luther and others also knew that they would eventually be rejected in the human world, so they hid in the jungle in desperation. At that time, they did not have a strong body and the ability to transform, and they were not much different from humans in every way, so after entering the forest, many people began to fall ill and even die for various reasons. At that time, they were led by the stronger hunters in the village, and everyone discussed how to find a suitable place to live and rebuild the village, otherwise everyone would freeze to death when winter came.
However, before the place where the village could be built, they encountered another accident.
"We don't know how the fog came about, except that Rand and they suddenly shouted in front, and then the purple smoke spread so quickly that we didn't have time to hide..."
Speaking of "smoke", Roddy clearly noticed that Luther was frowning, and there was some pain in his expression.
"The fog was terrible, we took a few breaths and found that our whole body was starting to ache. That kind of pain that hurts a thousand times, it hurts until I fall into a coma, and when I wake up, I continue to feel pain, and I continue to be in a coma..."
Luther reached out and wiped his forehead, apparently the memory made him break out in a cold sweat.
"More than 200 people died in that fog, and I think they were in pain, but when the fog cleared, we were finally freed from the pain, and then we found ourselves in the same way as we are. ”
Luther pointed to the corner of his head, "Since then, we have all had different abilities, most of them are the same 'transformation' as me, and some of us have some special abilities, such as 'invisibility', 'armoring', 'shrinking', etc., but after so many years, only a few of us old guys are still alive in the end." ”
This information made Roddy and Melinser, who were listening carefully, look at each other. Obviously, the "demon" race has far more abilities in the bloodline than mediocre humans, and what makes them even more curious... Where exactly does this "demonic" bloodline come from?
Is the mist in Luther's mouth the source of the "demonic" bloodline?
Merinthera was thrilled. How could she be calm when she thought of her experience of being hunted down and killed over the years, she felt both angry and a little aggrieved - maybe in the past, Merinthera would only show simple hatred, but sitting next to Roddy, Merlensella inexplicably felt that she was much less violent.
At least she has now learned to control her emotions and continue to ask questions in a coherent manner:
"Where did you find the fog?
Luther listened bitterly: "We were forced to run east, at the foot of the Gondola Mountains. I never went there again, because the pain was so terrible, it was almost a nightmare for the rest of my life..."
Luther paused, but continued, "But if it hadn't been for Lord Roddy, I might have taken my people there next." The fog, as terrifying as it was, made those who survived more powerful. Now that the race is on the verge of extinction, if we don't fight, I'm afraid we really won't have a way to live. ”
Roddy nodded, took a simple map and handed it to Luther, "Let's try to confirm the approximate location." ”
"Lord Roddy, are you going to..."
"Just point out the location, and I won't embarrass you. ”
Luther said no more, thought about it, and drew a circle for Roddy on the map. Roddy didn't talk nonsense, and reached out and handed it to Nata, who was silent on the side, "Don't get close, don't land, don't cross from above, just confirm the location." ”
"Yes. ”
Nata got up and took the map, turned and walked out of the manor, disappearing into the rain.
Roddy asked for details a few more times, and then asked them to go back to rest. Akasha was experimenting with Yugesa in the next room, so that only Roddy and Merinthra were left in the large conference room, and both of them were silenced by the information presented by Luther and the others.
Merinthera was immersed in the memories of following her father's clues over the years, and when she came back to her senses, she found that Roddy also had her eyes lowered, her brows slightly furrowed, and she looked like she was preoccupied.
She thought about it and realized that Roddy was under a lot more pressure than she was. He is alone, and he doesn't have to worry about the threat of the dragons, so he can come and go as he wants - but what about Roddy? As the prime minister, he has to take into account the lives of hundreds of thousands of people in Ivta.
"Worried about the fight in five days?"
Roddy and Dasco made an agreement for a decisive battle in five days, but Merin Sera knew that Roddy had not prepared the so-called "reinforcements" at all, and did not plan to do anything at all.
Roddy shook his head: "That's nothing to worry about at all, I'm just wondering about a problem..."
An unprecedented idea gradually appeared in his mind, but because of the vague clues, he was a little uncertain now. Seeing that Mai Linsera was looking at him curiously, Luo Di still whispered his inner doubts:
"The high elf civilization is so powerful that it can kill these guys in seconds, why are they inexplicably rushed out and destroyed by the orcs?"
"You mean..."
Merinthra immediately thought of these "demons", and connected her father, the other dragons, and Augustine who had targeted Tevelin...
There seems to be a force behind it.
"The problem here is far from being as simple as it seems. ”
Luo Di sighed lightly, but he felt that the information he had been exposed to had reached a level that he had never reached in his previous life.
It's a bit of a cardin, I can't write anymore, so I'll change 2000 words first, and ponder the plot later. (To be continued.) )
