Chapter 499: Holy Light Legion
Borch and the group of fiery dragons flew to the top of the mountain, and they were still miles away, and their huge figures alarmed the tribes on the mountain.
In the sound of the bell of "Dangdang", strong minotaurs rushed out one by one.
Under the scorching sun, many minotaurs lit up with golden light, which was the power of holy light, holding weapons and forming a defensive formation to protect their homeland.
As the distance got closer and closer, the minotaurs could already see Borchi's appearance clearly, and the trembling dragon power was overwhelming, and some of the minotaurs who were not strong enough flashed fear in their eyes, and they couldn't help but start to retreat.
"Ring of Steadfastness!"
A loud roar echoed throughout the tribe, followed by glowing circles of light. These circles of light spread out, and the fear in the eyes of all the minotaurs who were illuminated by the light was swept away, and they stuck to their positions, facing the dragon in the sky.
Wren caught a glimpse of the minotaur who had released his aura.
"My lord," Habu whispered, who was sitting next to the neck of the red dragon, "that is the chief of the Sunstrider clan, Dejiko* Sunstrider, a legendary high-ranking Sunwalker. ”
Wren nodded his head to indicate that he understood, and shouted, "Borch, pay attention to your dragon power. ”
The dragon is this virtue, especially the evil dragon, knowing that it is not an enemy, when the real body appears, he wants to release the dragon threat to scare others, show off his might, and show his sense of existence. Although Borch has been subdued for several years, he is essentially a dragon who believes in Tiasis, and every now and then he is about to expose his evil nature.
Dogs can't change eating, and dragons can't change eating people.
"Got it, boss. ”
Borch replied sullenly, putting away his dragon power as he slowed down to the top of the mountain.
Without the deterrence of the dragon, the minotaurs were not so afraid, and they also saw that there were people riding on the backs of the dragon and the flying dragon, guessing that the visitor might be a guest, and observed Wren and his party curiously.
Most of the minotaurs' eyes fell on Borch, whispering to the people around them.
Wren didn't deliberately learn the Minotaur language, only some simple daily communication, but this did not affect his understanding, opened the translation dictionary in his mobile phone, and immediately translated the Minotaur's words and heard them clearly.
"Golden Dragon!"
"Blazing Sun, ......"
A minotaur exclaimed, "There is a golden dragon visiting the tribe, this is the oldest race in the world to master the power of holy light, could he be a follower of Anse?"
"Definitely not!" the other minotaurs rejected, "Don't you see? He has three heads, and he must be an evil dragon." ”
"There is a human on the back of the golden dragon, is he a dragon knight?"
"There are a lot of fiery dragons, they came from the plateau of Sain. "An experienced minotaur hunting master made an accurate guess.
All kinds of talk came into his ears, and Wren smiled knowingly, and let Borch hover in the air outside the cliff at the top of the mountain, only a dozen meters above the top of the mountain, and directly below was a large clearing, which seemed to be the council square of the Sunseeker clan, and there stood hundreds of heavily armed elite minotaurs, including the chief.
Habu stood up from the dragon's neck and said in a loud voice, "Chief Dejiko, I am Hab* Bloodhoof, have you not forgotten me?"
As soon as his words fell, Wren heard a cry of condemnation.
"Habu Bloodhoof, this guy dares to come back!"
"That profiteer!"
"He bought a high-grade chocobo demon soul from me, and only gave me a few hundred gold shields, and I will find a good account later......"
Habu himself heard it, and smiled awkwardly, but fortunately, a gentle voice from below eased the embarrassment: "Welcome to the 'Bright Cliff', please come down." ”
Borch landed on the hilltop square, the strong air currents from his wings causing the minotaurs to retreat again and again, and only a few strong minotaurs were able to stand firm and face the behemoth up close. Habu jumped down, and Wren stepped on the dragon's wings as a ladder and slowly landed.
The fiery dragons in the sky also descended one by one, filling the square with nowhere to stay.
"Put it away, put it all away. ”
Sicarius shouted loudly, and the Ultramarines took the fiery dragon into the taming space, and bursts of white light flashed, and all of them disappeared.
This scene in the eyes of the minotaur made them even more surprised, and they kept looking at this group of warriors who were hidden in blue armor, and their height was only shorter than themselves, even if there were only about two dozen people, but the aura emanating from their bodies was inexplicably dangerous.
The Minotaur chieftain led by him also had a brilliant face, and he was a little distracted.
"Chief Dejiko. ”
Habu stepped forward and introduced, "This is the distinguished guest from the Empire that I told you before, the Earl of Glamorgan, the Duke of Augustus, the Speaker of the Floating City of Wezeland, the student of the great Holy Soul Wizard Ansivodaus, His Excellency Wren Augustus. ”
This long list of titles came out very imposingly, and the weight of each title was heavy, which quieted the surrounding minotaurs, and their eyes turned from Borch to Wren.
The Minotaur Chief had known before, but when he actually saw Wren, he still showed a solemn expression.
Wren was also watching the other side.
Dejiko's stature was taller than the other minotaurs, about two meters seven by sight, his majestic and strong body was dressed in pale golden armor, and a one-handed hammer hung from his waist, comparable to a human two-handed hammer, and he carried a large square shield weighing three or four hundred pounds.
His horns were dark gold, like a pair of sharp blades growing out from the sides of his head, his huge pupils were golden, and the ends of his mane and braid were shining with golden light, and the power of the vast holy light was almost overflowing, as if a round of the sun gave people a warm feeling, but if they got too close, they would be burned.
The eye of the soul also saw through the details of the other party, the age was more than six hundred years old, and more than half of the more than thirty elements in the soul were related to the power of the holy light, spells, protection, healing, and assistance, and the remaining half were various powerful physical fitness and combat skill elements.
By the standards of a transcendent, this Scorching Sun Walker is equivalent to level eighteen!
And it's the kind of all-round transcendent who can "carry and fight and milk", if you go to be a mercenary or join an adventurer, you are definitely the most popular talent, and countless people have broken their heads.
There are also several minotaurs beside Chief Dejiko, who are also legendary scorching sun walkers, two legendary mid-level and five legendary beginners, three of whom are female minotaurs, each of whom is over a hundred years old, and the breath of holy light emanates from their bodies.
The minotaurs around the square are all scorching sun walkers, most of them only have beginner-level strength, middle-level accounts for 30%, and high-level accounts for 10%!
Wren was surprised, this was only the Minotaur that could be seen.
Habu said that there were nearly a thousand members of the Sunstrider clan, and if they were all Sunwalkers in this proportion, then the overall strength of the Sunstriders would be extremely strong, several times higher than the original Maculags, enough to form a formidable Legion of Light.
Dejiko didn't know that Wren had roughly figured out the strength of his clan in an instant.
He bowed slightly and said in Imperial Chinese, which he was not very fluent in: "May the Holy Light be with you, and welcome His Excellency Rennes to the Bright Cliff." ”
"I beg your pardon for the visit. Wren also responded in simple Minotaur language.
He stepped forward and reached out to shake it, and the huge fan-like palm completely covered his hand, and both felt the strength of the other.
Dejiko was suddenly a little puzzled, "Your Excellency is really a wizard?"
Wren had been asked this question too many times, and could only explain with a smile: "I'm a battle wizard, unlike ordinary wizards. But rest assured, the chief, in addition to the fighting style, all the abilities that wizards have mastered, combat wizards are no exception. ”
"That's good, that's good......"
Dejiko's huge bull head nodded up and down, relieved.
His reaction made Wren even more sure that the other party had something to do with him, and that it had something to do with wizards or, more specifically, magical knowledge. In the eyes of outsiders, the deepest impression of a wizard other than a powerful spellcaster is that he has a vast and profound knowledge of magic.
"Everybody's gone. Chief Dejiko turned and shouted to his people, and then said to Wren, "Your Excellency, please follow me. ”
The minotaur reluctantly left and returned to his post.
At this time, Borch changed into a human form, because he was out and not in Modu, he habitually put on the set of light casting holy armor, and the golden armor suddenly attracted the attention of the minotaurs, making them stunned for a moment.
"Sun Knight!"
"This is the Sun Knight...... Damn blasphemer, kill him!"
The Minotaur's eyes were like seeing a bull in red cloth, and their faces were full of anger and hatred, and they raised their hammers, shrouded in holy light, and rushed towards Borch as if they were crazy. Someone else raised his hand and pointed at it, and a ray of blazing sunlight fell from the sky and hit the top of Borch's head.
"Stop!"
Dejiko shouted, and stretched open a golden shield ten meters in diameter.
The minotaurs were shielded from the shield, but the rays of sunlight hit the top of Borch's head, but luckily a barrier of light appeared on the armor, leaving him unharmed.
Borch was unwilling to be attacked, and with a roar, he was about to show the true body of the dragon, and with a "snap", he was slapped to the ground by Wren and reprimanded: "You give me honesty, don't make trouble." ”
Bolch, who was dizzy, stood up, craned his neck and did not dare to resist, and said in a low voice: "Yes, boss." ”
"Take off this armor. ”
"Yes, boss. ”
Borch honestly changed into an ordinary black iron armor, bowed his head and stood behind Wren, silent, completely devoid of the dragon's majesty.
Wren turned around with satisfaction and said apologetically: "Your Excellency Chief, Borch didn't mean it, and he wasn't even a Sun Knight, he just got a set of light-forged holy armor, and he likes to wear it to deceive people, and he has absolutely no ill will towards you." ”
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. ”
Seeing that Wren was cleaning up Borch like this, Dejiko was embarrassed to pursue it further, and said: "This is a misunderstanding, my people are too impulsive, blinded by hatred. ”
He removed the shield, glared at the minotaurs who were doing it, and scolded, "Don't go back quickly." ”
The minotaurs also heard Wren's explanation and ran away.
"Your Excellency, please come with me. ”
Dejiko earnestly invited again, and Wren readily agreed, and Habu followed him to translate for the two, even though Wren did not need it. Sicarius followed behind with two teams of Ultramarines, and the sound of heavy but neat footsteps attracted the curious eyes of the minotaurs wherever he passed.
The area on the top of Guangming Cliff is large, and the layout of the building is also very simple.
The dwellings of the minotaurs were built along the edge of the cliff tops, and most of the houses were built on rocky foundations, and the main body was thick logs, and the tops were covered with thick animal skins, which were able to withstand the wind, rain and snow. Under the eaves hang air-dried bacon and dried fish, which shows that the food is very rich, and occasionally the young minotaurs are also very strong, and they are all full of vitality.
A hilltop is like a small town, and there must be a wide square.
In the middle of the square, there is a huge stone pillar totem, which is painted with reliefs, because the age is too old and blurred, it is impossible to distinguish the details for a while, and only the highest part of the totem can be seen, painted with a huge sun, emitting light outward.
Guangming Cliff has six summits, less than 100 meters from each other, connected by rope suspension bridges.
Wren and the Ultramarines follow Dejiko across a drawbridge, the planks swaying under their feet, making him wonder if he can bear the weight of himself and the Ultramarines.
The suspension bridge is a hundred meters above the ground, and it's okay to fall down by yourself, the extreme warriors will definitely be injured.
However, it was no problem to see that Dejiko, who weighed more, so he was relieved and asked everyone to cross the bridge in batches.
The peak opposite the suspension bridge is the highest point of the Bright Cliff, and the position is also in the center, and the other five peaks are irregularly distributed around, and the stone pillar totem on the square here is twenty meters high, and it takes three or four people to hug it, and Wren feels a scorching heat on it.
The stone pillar totem goes deep underground, and I don't know how many years it has stood here, revealing the vicissitudes of life and long-term.
At this moment, there are dozens of minotaurs surrounding the square, centered on the stone pillar totem, half-kneeling and praying silently, and a faint light is lit up on their bodies, which is holy light.
These minotaurs prayed very religiously, with their eyes slightly closed, without looking at the chief and Wren.
Dejiko also stopped as he passed the pillar, prayed silently to it, and finally said aloud: "May the light protect the sun-seekers." ”
Wren shook his head secretly, also a hint of surprise.
The Soul Eye observes the Minotaurs, who are the most devout believers, up to the standard of fanatics, or even stronger. However, the flame of their faith is extremely dim, like a candle in the wind, which can be extinguished at any time, which means that the gods they believe in have fallen and it is impossible to respond.
He had seen something similar before, as was the case with his dwarven friend Zoltan, who believed in Moradin, the god of blacksmiths and craftsmen.
However, Anser, the "god of the scorching sun" believed by the minotaurs, seems to be in a better situation than Moradin.
The power of faith of the minotaurs has a very subtle wisp of light above their heads and submerges into the stone pillar totem in front of them, which shows that the power of faith has been received!
Even though it's only a very subtle change, it's definitely a good sign.
The only ones who can absorb the power of faith are the gods, and if it is a fallen god, then these powers of faith will be transformed into divine power, and over time, the gods will have the possibility of resurrection after a long time!
Wren was stunned, is it really possible for the God of the Burning Sun to be resurrected?
