Chapter 229: Urgent Preparations
Ogilde was a little surprised and said, "You Sicilians, are you taboo to say such things?"
"No, it's my personal taboo, do you know William?"
"Ha, that stupid big guy from the Bear School, I remember him, how is he now, participating in Mr. Chalotra's trials with Inniri?"
"No, he's dead. β
"Huh?"
In the dark, Leon's tone was faint: "Before we parted, he also said something similar to you, so I am very taboo about this." β
Ogilde sighed, "Can you tell me how he died?"
Li Ang considered the words and said, "He died a disgraceful death, but he definitely did not live up to justice and duty. He did not die at the hands of demons, but at the hands of a human lord corrupted by demons, and you should have heard his name - the Earl of Iskar of Windsor Castle. β
"You're talking about the new Grand Master of the Livonian Order, the guy who formed the Crusader crusade against Lithuania?"
"Yes, you must not have imagined that the crusader commander who opened up the territory for God and crusaded against the infidels was secretly in collusion with the devil. β
"So you did the horrific massacre that buried the entire Crusaders, right?"
Leon said noncommittally: "They have also been corrupted by magic, this is Count Iskar's means to improve the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, these people will become demons sooner or later, so I ......"
"Don't explain so much, I trust you. β
"Why?"
"Intuition. β
Ogilde pointed to his head and smiled, "Although we have not been together for a long time, I know that you are actually a very principled person. β
"Ha, I'm just flattered. β
"But Leon, since you have done this kind of thing, you must be careful with the church in the future, whether it is divination or necromancy, it is very likely that it can be traced back to you, whether you are clean or not. β
"Rest assured, I have never let down my guard against the church. β
"That's good. β
"Ogild, it's time for you to rest, I have some insomnia, but I can replenish my energy through meditation. β
"Good. β
The night passed quickly.
The next morning, when the first rays of light poured into the hall through the window, Esther, who had already slipped off his chair, couldn't help but rub his brow and get up from the ground.
The witchers of the Pit Viper School often take alchemical potions, so their resistance to the alchemical drink of the Iron Glove is relatively high.
"You're awake. β
Leon opened his eyes and greeted Istta.
Ishtar subconsciously looked at his intact clothes, first relieved, then frustrated.
"What happened last night?"
"Are you sure you want to know?"
Ishtar came to Leon and sat down, "Of course. β
"You fought with Ogilde and got drunk. β
"I seem to have an impression of that. β
Estar rubbed his eyes: "How can this guy drink so much, I suspect he used some kind of trick, but I didn't catch it." β
Leon glanced at Ogilde, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile: "After he drank you down, he also got rid of Cohen, just like you, I also think that his large amount of alcohol is a bit abnormal." β
Estar agreed, and she sat down beside Leon, the two facing the burning fireplace, their faces orange in the light of the fire.
And she began to look a little cramped.
Li Ang smiled: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly, you have embarrassed both of us like this." β
Esta was a little nervous, "I should have fallen asleep after drinking too much, right?"
"That's true. β
Leon nodded, and after Ishtar had just breathed a sigh of relief, he added, "But then, you carried a bottle of wine and wanted to drink with me, and you also agreed with me that whoever loses is a puppy, but you lie down again before you can drink." β
Ishtar's cheeks instantly flushed.
Oops, that's not a dream!
At this time, Leon was still talking solemnly: "I was afraid that you would catch a cold when you slept on the floor, so I carried you to the bench next to youβbut you can rest assured that I will never do anything to you." β
"Thank you. β
Esta stood up: "I'll go see if Daddy Viselmir's alchemy lab can still be used." β
After she finished speaking, she quickly disappeared from Leon's sight like a rabbit fleeing from the wilderness.
It was only at this time that the corners of Li Ang's mouth, who was full of seriousness, hooked up a narrow smile, ha, there is really nothing more interesting in this world than watching others embarrassment.
...
The witchers were soon roughly woken up by Viselmir, and after a breakfast of goulash, potatoes, bread, and pea bisque, the witches were summoned for a pre-war meeting.
Viselmir said: "Let's talk about the current situation first, we have arranged some alchemy circles at the location where the Fire Demon broke the seal, but don't expect these things to weaken it much. β
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Ang and said, "Leon, it's up to you this time." β
Leon nodded: "The moment the fire demon breaks the seal, I will set out to create a blizzard to quickly reduce the temperature, and during this time, I may not be able to move, so I need everyone's cover." β
"Can you start a blizzard?"
The demon hunters looked at each other, this kind of celestial-level spell was rarely able to be used even by a mid-order third-order school wizard.
"Are you sure?"
Li Ang nodded: "I can guarantee this, of course, the consumption will be very large, so in the follow-up battle, the role I can play may be very limited." β
Ogild couldn't help but say, "That's enough, do you really think you're fighting the fire demon alone?"
Cohen said: "Messier and I will also assist Leon, and the stinging circle of our griffin school can also lower the temperature, which may reduce his burden. β
Leon nodded, "That's great." β
Alexander said, "Ishtar and I will provide you with anti-fire potions, which will make you immune to fire damage for a short time. But remember, it's only for a short time, and if the temperature gets too high, the potion will also be ineffective, so be sure not to get close to the fire demon easily. β
A burly, majestic witcher with a scarred face like a brown bear said, "But we don't know anything but close combat. β
Obviously, this is a witcher of the Bear School.
Alexander said helplessly: "Maybe you can choose to stand on the tower and shoot with a bow and crossbow? It still depends on how much the blizzard Leon can weaken the fire demon." β
The Bear Sect Demon Hunter suddenly blew his beard and glared: "Lao Tzu has always been in the front, and he has never practiced archery at all!"
The Bear Sect's Witchers are thick-skinned, and they are adept at charging like tanks and crushing their enemies, but they often don't have the slightest ability to cast spells.
If it was a group of mid-sequence wizards discussing dealing with this fire demon, it would definitely be much easier than a group of them demon hunters.
After all, the flames that swirled around the Flame Demon were too restrained for the melee transcendents.
Viselmir sighed: "It's a pity that the sword oil I prepared before may not come in handy, originally against monsters like the Fire Demon, the structure sword oil would be very effective, but this sword oil is not resistant to high temperatures. β
Li Ang said: "Let's put it on, maybe the situation of the Flame Demon is worse than I imagined, and my blizzard can play a greater role." β
"Okay, Ogild, go and get the sword oil out and distribute it to everyoneβis there anything else the rest of the people would like to add?"
No one answered for a long time.
Viselmir sighed and said: "It seems that it is gone, traps and other means will not have any effect on the fire demon at all, this is destined to be a tough battle, everyone is ready to go." β
"Good. β
The witchers dispersed.
Leon and the Coen brothers walked out of the hall, discussing the details of their cooperation, as they walked towards the ruins above the Firedemon's head.
The closer you get here, the hotter it gets, and by the time you step on the pair of rubble, you can clearly feel the scorching heat under your feet.
