033, Avenger (1)
"Listen, don't try to lie to me, theoretically I have eight chances to test. ”
Before the frogmen could speak, Tynan used vines at Mural's signal to stun the other eight frogmen.
As a Grand Druid, Tynan had already reached an astonishing level of control over the branches, and since Mural's order was to strangle them, he would never strangle them.
After the Titans had done this, Mural commanded, "Let's begin." ”
The frogman was a little depressed, and a little ashamed of the fact that he had just begged for mercy, but at this point, he had no second choice.
After a brief hesitation of nearly two seconds, the frogman gave the answer that Talos and his party had expected: "A frogman stumbled upon the figure of the black dragon near Mount Rocky and witnessed him enter the Caspi Sea, and we are one of the thirty-eight teams responsible for finding the traces of the black dragon. ”
A team of eleven people, thirty-eight teams is more than four hundred, it seems that the frogmen in the Yuxen rainforest don't care about the black dragon and the frost crown, maybe there will be more powerful professionals to join in the future, Talos thought.
"Skip all this unnecessary stuff, I think you should know what I want to know most?"
"Yes...... The last time we had a trace of the Black Dragon was yesterday afternoon, when we found him on Mosanhoek Island, less than 20 miles from here, along with the Frost Crown. ”
The frogman told all the news about the black dragon, which basically coincided with Talos and his party.
Probably because of the identity of the group of Naga, the frogman gave another important news after saying the news of the black dragon: "Our people also found mermaids and fish-people in the Kaspi Sea, and people from the United Kingdom of the Western Ocean also came here." ”
Naga and the mermaid are feuding, this is a well-known common knowledge of Sainz, although the suspicion of frogman provoking is not ruled out, but this news is undoubtedly of some value, at least to the attention of Talos.
Mermaids and Fish-People United Kingdom, how did they hear about the Black Dragon Marcas?
The frogmen were met by chance, having obtained the prophecy of the legendary mage, and were able to take the lead in targeting the Caspi Sea when other forces blindly entered Mount Loki.
Tynan stunned the frogman, woke up the second frogman, and continued to ask for information to compare the difference between right and wrong.
"If you want to make an accurate prediction of an adult black dragon, you need at least a fifth-order strength, and you are a legendary mage who specializes in the prophecy faction. Dolores was also a little surprised by the news, "Fishman professionals are basically bloodline knights, and mages and warlocks are rarely born, mermaid professionals have many bloodline warlocks and priests, spellcasters are not popular in the United Kingdom, and there are even fewer mages who specialize in the prophecy faction. ”
Mural shook his head: "We are far away from the ocean, and we haven't paid attention to the news of the United Kingdom for a long time, Tar?"
Theoretically, Talos, who is indeed a tidal Naga, should know the most about the United Kingdom.
"There are three fifth-order powerhouses on the surface of the United Kingdom, namely the Pope of the Storm Temple and the Temple of Illusions, and a Destiny Warlock who inherited the ancient two-tailed mermaid bloodline Bellucci family, and there are no legendary mages. But—"
Talos remembered one of his enemies: "Princess Maeve of the United Kingdom is a magical knight with both bloodline warlock and spellcaster talents, and she happens to be good at the prophecy faction, but her third-order strength is not enough to prophesy Marcas. Rather than prophecy, I would rather believe that they stumbled upon the black dragon like the frogmen. ”
"No, maybe there's another way. Dolores said suddenly.
Mural also remembered another method that they had overlooked: "Divine Communication!"
This is a higher divine technique of talking to the gods to obtain revealed answers, but priests do not easily use it, because the value of the priest's existence is to serve the gods, including proselytizing and dedicating the faith, and asking the gods to give an answer to a question is in a sense contrary to the priest's existential value.
Talos had no faith in the group, and the others believed in the six primordial gods who never responded to believers, so they ignored the methods in the field of divine magic for a while.
Once his mind diverged into the realm of the gods, Talos naturally remembered the goddess of wealth, and if he knew how to hunt for treasure, he would at least get a direction on the Frost Crown.
- Gold digging and treasure hunting are essential skills for pastors of Fortune Church.
But then again, can the Storm Lord and the Goddess of Illusions, far away in the outer planes, see the location of the Frost Crown on Earth?
After thinking about it, Tynan also ended the interrogation and concluded: "They are not lying, the black dragon did appear on an island in the eastern part of the Kaspi Sea a day ago, and the team all died from the dragon's breath, and it is impossible to determine the specific location of Marcas, but it should not have left this inland lake." ”
"Very good, we continue to set off, and the destination is temporarily adjusted to Mozambique Island, where the Black Dragon appeared yesterday. ”
The group continued to fly, speeding with the help of magic props, and the 20-mile distance took less than half an hour to arrive.
Soon, the island in the frog's mouth appeared in Talos' sight.
Sitting on the magic flying carpet, Talos condescends to discover that the island is flat and full of towering trees, a dense primeval jungle, and a wide river meanders through it, dividing the rainforest in two.
Talos looked through the sky, and everywhere there were different shades of green, and he couldn't see the edge.
"This is Mosanhoek, the largest island in the Caspi Sea, and I have no doubt that the black dragon Marcas is going to hide here. ”
As Mural spoke, Tynan lowered the magic carpet onto the island and pressed his hand against a large tree that would take five people to wrap around.
Druid Spell, Plant Talk, a spell that is deeper than Animal Talk, a faint green light centered on the surface of the earth and invisibly radiating in all directions.
Talos knew that ordinary plant conversation spells could only choose a large tree as a medium to obtain information, but Tainan was already a great druid who had been promoted to the fourth order, and the target of the spell was no longer limited to one tree, but a certain range of forests.
If you change to a forest druid, the target will be even larger, and it will become a forest.
After about half a minute of casting, Tainan withdrew his right hand and reported to Mular: "The black dragon is indeed here, and according to the information I have obtained, he also caught two giant pythons for food this morning. ”
"Great!" Talos shook his fist.
"But—" Tynan looked at Talos with a strange expression, "In the information I just got, there's also a mermaid who appears. ”
Talos soon learned the reason for the desert druid's strange face: "According to what the fishmen call her, her name is Lydia. ”
Lydia, what a haunting name, Talos thought.
If it weren't for her and Morgana's sneak attack on the battlefield, Talos would still be a glamorous mage by now, unable to ignite a soul fire, let alone take a completely different path from the caster.
On more than one occasion, Talos fantasized about how to get revenge on Lydia, but given that the other party had been nested in the United Kingdom, it was difficult for the Enerton forces to reach out into the Western Ocean.
However, when Emma suggested buying a murderer from the Assassin League, an international professional organization similar to the Council of the Nine Rings, made up entirely of Assassins and thieves, Talos objected.
Faced with Emma's puzzled eyes, Talos didn't explain as usual.
He simply felt that Lydia should not have died at the hands of anyone else, that she should have been killed by a Naga with the surname Neptune, and that if it was a Naga with the name of Talos, things would have been more perfect.
Now, here's your chance.
Lydia is still a high-level mage who is well-versed in the necromantic faction, and he has transformed from a first-order mage to a high-level bloodline knight with awakened bloodline expertise.
No one expected that the once disparity in strength would reach the same level in less than a year, and Jean's promise to "give Lydia to Talos and have him gouge out the other person's eyes" looks like it will come true in a different way today.
"Where is she?" Talos heard his calm voice.
Tainan stretched out his hand and pointed to the calm and wide river not far away: "They just passed by here half an hour ago and went upstream. If there were no accidents, we would have caught up with her in less than twenty minutes. ”
"Mural—" Talos looked at Mural, who had the command of the two Fourth-Order Professionals.
"I understand, just let it go, it's just an appetizer to snatch the Frost Crown from the Black Dragon. ”
