Chapter 260 The Man Who Curses the Gods
As if in response to his words, there was another piercing chirp in the darkness, and the sound pierced through the eardrums like sharp arrows to the depths of the human heart.
"It's ...... The neighing of horses! â
Recalling the sound of horses' hooves just now, Xia covered his ears and guessed the body of the owner of the sound.
The shadows moved forward in the torrential rain and thunder, and the invisible horse snorted from time to time, louder than the thunder in the sky, and the sound of the horse's hooves shook the earth, and occasionally two white plumes of smoke could be seen spewing forward in the light of those soul fires, scattering the rain in all directions.
The two of them lowered their heads, motionless and waited for the shadow in the darkness to pass.
Time passed slowly, the thunder gradually faded away, and the rain became less ferocious, Uncle Black Knife raised his head, looked outside cautiously, patted his hands full of dirt and stood up from the squatting place, showing a relaxed expression:
"Wow - Shun lĂŹ pass! I don't want to chase this anymore, goodbye dude! â
He seemed to want to make a flying kiss to the north, but looked at the mud on his hand and put it down again.
Natsu got up and looked out, and found that the black that covered the land was gradually fading, and the heavy rain was still falling, but the stagnant water at the foot of the mountain had clearly shown signs of receding, no longer rushing everywhere like a river, but converging into small streams pouring down.
"Which one is better to read novels on mobile phones? Mobile Reading Network, your strength should be very strong, right? Why was I so scared just now? â
She deliberately used a tone that made men feel ashamed, so that the beauty would be more lethal when she said it.
Uncle Black Knife's face turned a little red, scratched his head and said:
"Ahem...... Don't blame me for this, that guy isn't your average thing......"
"Oh?"
Natsu raised the tone:
"The Black Calamity you just mentioned is the horse?"
"No, no, of course not."
Uncle Black Knife hurriedly waved his hand and said:
"As the name suggests. It was a monster that could bring darkness and disaster, and the horse was just its mount...... Not only that, but it is also extremely rare on this continent that has the potential to become a god on its own. â
"Self-reliance?"
Xia caught the point of his words and said in surprise.
Uncle Black Knife put the knife back on his back and turned his head to look at the sky flashing in the distance:
"There are no gods on the continent of Faense. Therefore, whoever has the strength can do whatever he wants; Somewhere in the world, if a strong man who can ignore the local guard, it will often cause a bloody storm, and the situation will not be better until the Order and the Empire have reached a consensus. â
Noticing Xia's unhappy gaze, he spread his hands and said:
"Don't look at me with that disdain, dear Miss Necromancer, do you want that lich to come up on my head? I'm not deliberately digressing, I'm describing it at its roots. â
He stroked the beard on his chin with his hand and said:
"Black Calamity...... If there really existed in the Age of Mythology, this kind of thing would have been wiped out long ago. â
"There is an account of it in the Moorish annals: black horses, silver-white armor. carrying a spear capable of piercing the gates; Black gas came out of the armor, and the people inside could not be seen, and there was no light in the position of the eyes, as if they no longer wanted to look at the world...... All in all a terrible guy. â
Uncle Black Knife took out a rather familiar gold coin from his pocket, flicked it with his finger and made a crisp sound:
"This is the legacy of the kingdom that once ravaged it, the gold coins of Morgu! This is a rather powerful ancient kingdom, and there are countless top powerhouses in it, but they are also tormented by it. â
He seemed to think that he still owed a large amount of debt to the other party. Hurriedly took this valuable item back.
"Do you think it's so powerful now that only gods can surrender?"
Natsu's face was a little ugly.
She was still thinking about finding elemental mana shards, but if it was as the other party said. The enemy is really strong to such an extent, and this kind of storage is simply not something she can provoke now.
"That's right."
Uncle Black Knife said in a helpless tone:
"It's now a 'demigod' and no one can deal with it except gods...... Suppose, of course, that there really is a word of God in this world. In fact, you've seen it, and it's still doing well, roaming around with torrential rain and lightning. No one can help it. â
Speaking of this, he showed a playful expression:
"Truis's gang of magic sticks have no choice but to let it run rampant like this, and keep slapping the Order-BangBang! Ha ha! â
"What about the Empire, can't the Empire and the Order join forces to deal with it?"
Xia couldn't help but ask a question.
"Hah! Why would the Imperials join forces with the Order? They wish this thing had come to the City of God and make a mess of the Pope. â
Uncle Black Knife gloated and said:
"You were the one who was chased by that guy just now, right? You can escape. You must have heard its whispers, didn't you realize something? â
"Whispering...... It only said two words, Sado. â
Xia recalled the nightmarish voice, and suddenly reacted:
"Sado, Sado...... Sado God? â
She said strangely:
"This is not Truis's ......"
"What a smart young lady."
Uncle Black Knife made a "you are awesome" gesture with both hands:
"No one knows the origin of the Black Calamity, but from past records, it is a guy who hated the god Sado so much and cursed the gods of the Order all the time."
"Huh!"
The sharp sword qi flew out of the hole, suddenly splitting an ugly creature in half, and then burst out of him with a powerful aura.
"Chirp!"
Several monsters fled into the wilderness from near the cave.
At this time, the heavy rain had gradually stopped, and there were some more dark shadows on the muddy ground under the mountain, and many shining eyes looked at this side, and soon disappeared after sensing the breath of the strong.
"Master, he is showing his skills before you."
The little Lori in black whispered.
Xia had already noticed that those weak monsters were peeking here, but he didn't care at all, and he didn't pay attention to their mood. She nodded at the lich, and the lich immediately flew outside to stand on guard, the glimmer of his eye scanning the dirt floor.
"There are always some people on the continent who want to become gods."
Uncle Black Knife took back the knife in a sneer:
"This guy is just one of them...... But I'm not qualified to say that, that's it. â
Of course, you're not qualified to talk about people, and so am I.
Xia sneered in his heart.
"Do you know anything else about it?"
She asked Uncle Black Knife with the attitude of trying it out:
"Of course I'm not asking you about your secrets, but I want to know more about the rumors of the Black Calamity. For example, where is its nest, what attacks it is good at, what are its weaknesses......"
"You're going to stop me."
Uncle Black Knife touched his head and said:
"I'm not stupid enough to fight against a demigod-level powerhouse, I just follow it from a distance and observe, as for the rumors, you can find a way to go to the kingdom's library to take a look, there are many little-known records, and there should be information about it."
"Yes, thank you."
Xia said with some disappointment.
If she was still the same as before, she would definitely have no problem entering the library. Now she doesn't even dare to approach the king, how can she throw herself into the net.
"It's a pity that the library of the school park is on that island.,Most of the books in it have been destroyed.ă
The library of Wang Li School Park is also a very old database, although it is not as good as the National Library, but it also stores a lot of precious books, and it is a good place to consult ancient documents.
"Don't thank you, I didn't help much."
Uncle Black Knife said embarrassedly.
"Stephanie, do you have any information about the Black Calamity? Check it out. â
Xia asked the little Lori in black in her mind.
"The hosts. All my memories of gods and fragments have been erased. â
Stephanie shook her head.
"Is that so......"
Xia stood there and pondered:
Do you want to go back to the royal capital? It feels like it's a little early.
"Demigods. Born of chaos or given extraordinary powers as a result of some adventure, they are as powerful as adult dragons and powerful demons, but not as powerful as true gods, but they are still far superior to mortals. â
"The offspring of God and human beings will have hidden divine blood, but they will not have a full Godhead. So they can only be called demigods. â
She recalled some information about the demigods in her mind, and found that this knowledge of the earth was of little help to her.
"Master, I have a guess, I just don't know if it's accurate."
The little Lori in black said on the side:
"In the classification of magic, water represents purity and compassion. It's the third magic that can heal in addition to wood and magic, and the water itself doesn't contain evil power at all, so I'm wondering...... Did that thing get its current strength because it came into contact with the Divine Fragment? â
"Possibly."
After listening to her analysis, Xia nodded slightly.
It has only been more than a year since she got the super energy fragment herself, and she has already reached the current level, and the other party has been saving it for at least a thousand years, how can she not obtain some special powers?
"Oh! That's right. â
Uncle Black Knife seemed to suddenly remember something, patted his head next to him, and said:
"I've read a few books about the ancient kingdom before, and they talk about the Black Calamity."
"Tell me about it."
Summer's red pupils turned to him.
"Don't look at me with such expectant eyes, it's just some unreliable stories."
Uncle Black Knife said embarrassedly:
"There is a book that says that the Black Calamity is a messenger of the underworld, who has come to this world to take away sinful souls; There is also a book that says that it is a vengeful spirit from 10,000 years ago, trying to control the entire continent with extraordinary power......" His voice grew quieter as he noticed Natsu's eyes.
"Well, these are some storybook stuff, and I read that occasionally."
He said helplessly:
"But the last one might help you a little, it's not a storybook, it's an epic account."
"Bojotas. Bial. Gabruchanay. â
He uttered a tongue-twisting sentence:
"This is how the ancient kingdom called the Black Calamity, if it is translated into the continental lingua franca......"
Uncle Black Knife paused.
Then he slowly said a name:
"- Summoning the Knights of the Tempest". (To be continued......) R1292
