168 Rope of Shadows
The sun lazily shrouded the entire Great Wall of Despair, bright and clear, reflecting the crystal light of the huge ice wall. Vertex Says X 23 U OM
Under the warm breath, the sound of dripping water appeared from the foot of the Great Wall, and the sound seemed to be the revival of everything when winter turned to spring, but in reality this is only normal here.
"The Great Wall is crying again." Some night watchmen lamented this.
The Great Wall of Desperation, a huge wall of ice that stands at the end of the human world, is not completely solidified, it melts when it's warm, and freezes even more when it's cold.
After the Great Wall "wept", the night watchman would sprinkle water on the top of the city to solidify the wall on a cold day, and the core of the Great Wall was like rock and iron, which had remained strong for countless years, but its surface had been "replaced" many times.
So even though the weather is nice today, some people are not so happy, because after the good weather, heavy tasks will follow.
"Fuck the night watchman, what bullshit rules, the recruit head has to do manual work too?"
Sandor, who sat behind a wooden stake in the training ground. Klegan muttered, took a sip of his head with the sac, and as soon as he was halfway up, he suddenly stopped.
Cool wine spilled from the corners of his mouth unconsciously, looking at the sky, Sandor. The boss of Klegane's triangular eyes.
"I've seen a strange ......"
He muttered, his hideous, ugly face gradually enveloped in shadows.
……
As far as the eye could see, the sky was supposed to be clear and cloudless, but in a few breaths it turned dark and gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and bright light was gradually obscured by clouds.
Looking out of the narrow stone window in the corridor of the King's Tower, you can clearly see this sudden change in the sky, and blinking, Theo, a guard from Bolton's territory, couldn't help but curse: "What the hell is this weather?" The day before yesterday, my teeth chattered when I was cold, and I couldn't wait to take off my clothes when it was hot yesterday, but now it's sunny and cloudy again!? ”
"Maybe the gods in the sky are fighting." Not far away, Gillen, the son of a shoemaker, replied, his tone slightly absent-minded, and his mind was mainly focused on another place.
"Theo, did you hear anything inside?" He said as he pointed to the door behind him.
Theo glanced at his companion and sneered, "What can happen?" Everyone saw the miserable situation of those two book thieves, and the fool would run in to find death. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head again, staring at the weather from the window without blinking, and counted inwardly, and soon after, the clouds dissipated and the sun shrouded in again.
"Hell, it's sunny again." He muttered, as if he was a little accustomed to it.
Right now, this has been happening since the morning, and it's been going on for a while, sometimes sunny and sometimes cloudy, back and forth.
This was certainly not a normal situation, but Theo's constant presence around a mysterious figure gave him some immunity to such strange things, so he didn't panic too much.
Even looking at the panicked appearance of the night watchmen and the northern army below, he felt a little funny.
"These idiots." muttered, a loud scream suddenly came from behind, and he hurriedly turned his head to look, and found that Ji Lun, who was also on duty, was staring at the door of the study with a vigilant face at this time.
"Listen, there's really a voice!"
His companion's expression didn't look like a joke, so Theo's face tightened, and he immediately drew his weapon from his waist and looked at the closed wooden door of his study.
"Another book thief?"
The two glanced at each other, and at the same time raised their feet and kicked open the door of the study, opening their mouths and yelling as they kicked to intimidate.
However, as far as the eye could see, there was no one in the study at all.
Only the books written in special characters are quietly placed on the shelves, silent, but quite intimidating.
The empty study made Theo glare at Guillen angrily, and then turned away decisively.
……
"What's all the fuss, where are the people?" The sound of grumbling came through the door.
"I heard the voice...... "Another voice was full of confusion.
Hearing this, the people in the study couldn't help but shake their heads.
The white and dust-free leather shoes stepped on the floor silently, and the neat and slim white trousers did not have a trace of wrinkles.
Dressed in a white tuxedo that did not belong to this era, he held a brown and yellow scepter in his hand, and the seven-pointed star medal on his chest swayed slightly as he walked.
Walking around the bookshelves, a translucent turtle in the corner can't help but peek at the familiar and strange figure with its small eyes.
If you can have this dress, it can't be someone else.
Charles is on a spiritual journey.
His real body was still at the peak of the mountain where the Three-Eyed Raven was, and he didn't have time or prepare to return to the Great Wall.
So in order to check the information, he can only use this method.
Right now, he's looking for a book on the shelves.
"The body of the alien god is destroyed, the Lady of Light cannot not feel it, and your scepter has absorbed her power again, she will definitely come to you, and it will be soon."
The three-eyed crow's warning echoed in his heart, and Charles unconsciously smiled slightly.
"I wish she had come to me." Muttering, he subconsciously glanced at the inconspicuous scepter in his hand.
After absorbing the "little sun" in his hand, the scepter miraculously resurrected all his army, and nothing else happened after that.
It seems that that power is exhausted with the mass resurrection.
But Charles doesn't think so.
He had carefully examined the scepter after retrieving it, and after absorbing and releasing the group to resurrect, the scepter had not gained any new abilities, but inside its crystal ball, the eyes that represented the image of the Heavenly Father began to quietly ignite two bright flames.
The True Eye suggests that something is brewing within, but it seems to take some time.
Therefore, Charles did not know how far this pseudo-artifact, which was originally only used by wizards to fool people, could "evolve".
"The stranger, the Father, is also symmetrical."
Silently pondering, Charles looked sideways out the window, and the weather began to grow gloomy again.
It didn't take long for Charles to reluctantly withdraw his gaze.
His talent as the Lord of the Long Night was able to make the Long Night come, but the so-called Long Night was not long at all, and the actual duration was only a few tens of seconds.
Of course, like most spells in the Overworld, this talent does not require the so-called consumption of magic or mental power, and what restricts him is just a special feeling of exhaustion, like the arm cannot bear the force when carrying an object, and he has to "put it down" after a certain amount of time.
After stopping for a while, you can release it again.
It seems to be arbitrary, but what good is it to be intermittent?
"Except for pretending." Sighing, he simply ignored the question and began to concentrate on the search.
The purpose of the Charr spirit's trip back to the Great Wall was naturally not to come here to practice spells, but to find a way to deal with the Lady of Light.
The Three-Eyed Raven warns the Daughter of Charles, or Rahlo will come running for him. Then it is naturally impossible for Charles to wait there for people to come to the door, although the gods of this world are very weak, but he is not arrogant enough to the point that the other party can be sent away by him casually.
"So, let's see who's smart."
Muttering, he finally stopped in front of a black book called Rope of Shadows.
With a wave of the scepter in his hand, a stream of colorful light turned into a void hand, pulling the book out of the shelf, and then, under Charles's command, the invisible hand began to turn the pages.
This ability is similar to that of his shadow minion, but unfortunately he can only command the scepter to be used in the state of the spirit wandering, and under normal circumstances, the scepter cannot emit this kind of miraculous colorful energy.
In fact, Charles, who had gained the memories of the Bandage Man, already knew how to dodge the curse of the book, but unfortunately he couldn't touch it now.
"The Overworld doesn't even have that legendary space ring?" Muttering to himself, Charles looked down intently.
The book is called Rope of Shadows, but it is actually a kind of magic circle that consumes a lot of souls, but it can be used at a lower level.
The bandage man has the impression of this magic array in his memory, so the Charr spirit body has a clear goal after traveling.
The binding effect of this magic circle depends entirely on the number of souls invested, and Charles is perfect for this time, he has not forgotten what is in his scepter.
And when arranging the magic array, if you can use a spirit body that matches the opponent's body, then the effect will be even better.
For example, if you want to bind people, then it is best to use people's spirits, and if you are not human, then you are inhuman.
This is a bit difficult to deal with with the gods of this world, because the gods in the song of ice and fire are basically special spirits.
They are usually invisible and invisible, and they will show their power under special circumstances, but they are basically the kind of celestial changes, or sacrifice souls to form a special aura like the drowning gods that Charles once encountered.
They have no entity.
However, they can be attached to special bodies if they want to.
For example, if the void alien god wants to have a substance, he can put his will into the alien ghost born of a human baby, so as to walk in the real world.
If the alien god can do it, Rahlo can naturally also attach to the body and then "descend to the mortal earth".
"So, what will she become?" Flipping through the book, Charles muttered under his breath.
The answer seems self-evident.
And if memory serves, in the scepter in his hand, there are many special soul bodies that have been placed for a long time.
