Chapter XXXVII: The Choice of the Knight Commander

The procession proceeded in an orderly manner, and by noon the procession came to rest by a small stream.

On the one hand, it can replenish physical strength, and on the other hand, it can give those teams that have not kept up a chance to catch up.

"Captain Hagrid is such a good man, and without them, we would have to pay a lot of money to make it through the Blackstone Jungle. Everyone couldn't help but sigh that there were indeed more monsters encountered along the way than before.

Under normal circumstances, monsters will not take the initiative to attack when they see a strong enemy, and most of them will only choose to attack alone. At this stage, the monsters are a little different, they become more impulsive and irritable, they want to attack when they see the enemy, and their strength has also increased.

Chu Yun's lunch was still raspberries, and he felt a little strange, as he advanced, the monsters he hunted not only did not increase, but decreased. This does not conform to the distribution of monsters in the Blackstone Jungle, and the Knights have sent more scouts to scout.

"Paimon, did you find anything?" Chu Yun asked his partner.

Paimon conveyed his words through the contract, which was more fluent: "Babble~There's a lot of powerful aura over there~"

A powerful aura usually refers to a high-level monster that is stronger than oneself, and Chu Yun looked in the direction Paimon was pointing, and there seemed to be nothing special there.

Taking out the map, according to the location of the stream and the distance traveled, Chu Yun roughly determined the place that Paimon said.

"How far is it from here?" Chu Yun continued to ask.

"Paimon doesn't know~ Paimon's strength is too weak, babble~"

Paimon could only roughly sense that there was a powerful presence in that direction, and the specific situation was beyond its capabilities.

At this time, the scouts of the Blackstone Knights also seemed to have noticed the anomaly, and hurriedly reported to Captain Hagrid.

Seeing this, Chu Yun first returned to the carriage, and then entered the mirror world to go to Hagrid's location.

In the real world, if you get close to the Knights, you will be stopped, but in the mirror world, as long as you keep a safe distance, you can eavesdrop on their conversation with Chu Yun's hearing.

"Report to the head of the group, there are a large number of monsters gathered on the edge of the Blackwater Lake in the northeast......

"Monsters gathered, is there any treasure in the lake? No, Blackwater Lake is often haunted by adventurers, and I haven't found this before. Captain Hagrid was puzzled.

The new deputy head of the Blackstone Knights is a military mage, and he is very interested in conjecturing: "Commander, the monster rebellion must be related to the fall of the stars, and now these monsters are gathered by the lake......

"Maybe it has something to do with the fall of the stars!"

Hagrid was a little impressed and wanted to find out: "It is said that someone haunted the meteor near the crash site that night, but no falling meteor was found. ”

The deputy commander asked the scout to step back first, and then said with a smile: "That's not a meteor meteorite, in fact, our Truth Society is also studying this incident." Many people speculate that those who have fallen into the mortal world are actually the godheads of the gods. ”

"What?Godhead?!" Hagrid couldn't help but be shocked.

"That's right, if the prophecy is correct, I'm afraid that many gods have lost their corresponding godheads. According to ancient ruins, the godhead cannot remain intact when it falls into the mortal world without a carrier, and usually shatters into numerous fragments of the godhead. ”

"As long as you collect these godhead fragments and transform them into your own power, then even mortals can become gods!" said the deputy head with some excitement.

Many of the gods in the pantheon were originally mortals, but the ordinary methods were too difficult, and only those with many followers and believers, such as the savior heroes of the chaotic era or the evil villain, had the opportunity to condense their own godhead.

But now it's different, it's not so troublesome, as long as you collect the shards, you can get the full godhead first and then harvest the faith in a clever way.

When Hagrid heard the deputy leader's words, he was worried: "If your conjecture of the Truth Society is correct, then won't this world be in chaos? ”

The deputy head of the regiment nodded: "You are right, and this news will surely spread all over the continent soon." So what are your options, Captain Hagrid?"

Hagrid didn't answer the deputy leader's words, but continued to ask, "Are there any conditions for absorbing this Godhead fragment? Those monsters gathered in Blackwater Lake also want to absorb Godhead fragments?"

"These fragments of the Godhead usually retain some of the divinity they had before they were shattered, and if they were the godhead of the Goddess of Life, it would be easier for those who are good and close to their faith to absorb it. If you are an evil and chaotic person, it will take a lot of time to remove the remaining divinity before you can absorb it. ”

"You must know that the fragments sometimes contain divine magic, which can be used directly or learned by enlightenment, and it would be too wasteful to remove them. ”

"As for the monsters, it is very difficult to absorb, and the Godhead fragments have a great impact on them, the strength of the monsters will increase, and they will also spontaneously protect the fragments from being taken away. ”

"This is related to the origin and birth of monsters, if you are interested, I will tell you in detail. It's better to make a decision as soon as possible, if someone gets the first time, it will be troublesome. "Even if you don't want it, you can give the fragment to the gods, and the gods will definitely give you a great reward." ”

At this stage, although most of the gods are lost, there are still some gods that can be worshipped.

Hagrid looked at the deputy head curiously, "Don't you want the Godhead fragment?"

The deputy head of the regiment gave him a blank look: "Of course I want it, but those monsters are not something I can deal with alone, I can't order them when you are the head of the regiment." ”

"Even if I wait until I return to Blackstone City to find help, those guys won't necessarily give me the shards, so I might as well let you pick them up. ”

"When the time comes, you try to absorb it first, and if it doesn't work, give it to me, how about it?" the deputy head of the regiment made his own request.

This is an event outside of the Knights' mission, so even the leader has no right to ask him to force his cooperation, and a third-order mage has a huge advantage when facing a horde of monsters.

If there is no magician's range magic, I am afraid that the members of the knights will be killed and injured a lot, and it will be difficult to explain to the city lord at that time.

"The anomaly here will spread quickly, and it won't be too late. The deputy head of the regiment was actually very anxious, even if the regiment commander did not approve of this operation, he planned to try it himself.

Hagrid was torn between a hard place, he was a true knight who followed the rules of knighthood, and it was taboo to use the public for personal gain.

"I'm sorry, but I can't get the Knights involved in this battle. ”

"But...... I'll go with you with the Guards!" Hagrid said through gritted teeth.

The Guards were not formed by the Knights, but by the guards of his family.

Hagrid ordered everyone to stay where they were and rest, and then headed for Blackwater Lake with his own personal guards and the deputy commander Matthew.
