2.99 Finding the Stone of the Dragon's Soul on
In front of Fransburg, there are no traces of human beings at all, and they are all completely destroyed by the savage aesthetics of the orcs. Sharpened wooden stakes protrude from the gravel fortress, turning the already ugly fortress into a porcupine full of sharp teeth.
On the pale stone of the fortress, a large bloody symbol is drawn with a terrifying red dye. This is the dark text of the half-orc, and Wu Chen does not recognize it. But the human head pierced on the stake, Wu Chen recognized it at a glance.
I wanted to sneak in secretly, but when I saw the clusters of human heads of different sizes, men, women and children, Wu Chen was furious.
"Bayonetta, Joan of Arc, don't leave one behind, kill them all!"
"Yes, my master." Bayonetta drove the giant wolf and rushed out like an arrow.
Joan of Arc was not to be left behind and followed.
From a distance, the guards saw two wolf knights rushing towards them. Although they are significantly taller than ordinary orcs, some orcs mixed with troll's blood are also extremely tall. In addition, riding a giant wolf, the guards did not suspect him, and opened the floodgates with all their might.
Then, there was a one-sided massacre.
Bayonetta slashed the chains of the Tierra Gate with a single sword, and the black iron gate fell to the ground, turning the entire castle into a huge slaughterhouse.
The wolf was very familiar with the castle, and led the two female knights to gallop back and forth, and after killing all the moving guards, he pounced on the castle. Some of the panicked orcs even jumped straight from the wall, crashing their brains on the boulder.
There were also fish that slipped through the net, but they all died under the poisoned arrows of Ophelia cruising on the periphery.
Not to mention the ordinary orcs who died in the clearing between the wall and the fortress. The point is the sturdy orcs huddled inside the castle, each in heavy armor. The swords are neat. and their armor were cut into two pieces.
Even if there are a few people who swing their knives at each other. Also brutally slaughtered!
The only difference is that they break more knives than their companions!
The witch has unleashed the wolf and hunted down the cowards who were hiding. I don't know if it's because they've been injected with Ophelia's healing potions, so these giant wolves seem to have temporarily gained the ability to heal their wounds! It's more ferocious than the witches! Biting the orc's body hard, combined with its sharp claws, tearing it apart alive abounds.
A hammer shattered the last access control, and the remnants of the door were torn apart by the burst of broken wood and pieces of iron, rolling on the ground and wailing!
Bayonetta strolled into the castle with her greatsword in her hand, and snapped her finger at the Fortress Commander, who was protected by several trolls.
"Roarβ" Covered in steel. It's like an ogre in a steel fortress, and before the giant hammer in his hand is raised, he is stopped and cut in two!
The upper half of his body was rolled by the runaway giant hammer and taken out of the distance, throwing down a lot of colorful organs. And the lower half of the body, which was still firmly nailed to the ground, turned into a powerful fountain, spurting out the blood crowded on the lower half of the body!
Ziz, zz, zz-
Drenched in hot blood, the two witches, one left and one right, pounced on it......
Wait for the thick black iron gate to be opened again. The blood can't wait to flow out. The wolf under Wu Chen sniffed the sweet smell of blood and agitated his throat. Leisurely waded into the castle.
The witch's wolf was dragging the fragments of the corpse and throwing it into the pens. Across the thick fence and iron fence, countless wolves are frantically scrambling for the food in their mouths.
Ophelia seems to have a strong curiosity about these wolves. Not only did he feed them himself, but he also asked them where they came from.
The ancestor of the wolf is supposed to be the demon wolf Kahelos, who was bred by Morgoth himself (in fact, most of the dark creatures came from this old man).
Kahelos is gluttonous and terrifyingly strong, and is perpetually hungry. It grew very quickly, and when it was too big to climb into any of the wolves' dens, it had to lie at Morgoth's feet. The demon wolf Kahelos secretly guards the gates of Angban. Swallowed the elven diamond by mistake and ran away, and finally died with Valinor's divine dog Juan.
Of course, during the period when he swallowed the Elven Diamond by mistake and went berserk, it is not known whether he had a super-friendly relationship with the she-wolf of the wilderness and gave birth to many, many offspring (because there are many, many she-wolves).
Searching for puzzles is the strength of tech nerds.
With the intelligence of a half-orc, it is obvious that there is no thought that there is a secret room in the castle.
Oh my God, which castle doesn't have a secret room?!
The messy castle that the orcs had messed up was restored in his mind, and soon, a three-dimensional structure of the castle was formed in Wu Chen's mind.
Structure doesn't lie. When you compare the external dimensions with the internal dimensions, the difference between the average value becomes very conspicuous. Leading everyone to the corridor on the left side of the bottom floor of the castle, Wu Chen knocked on the stones used to build the corridor, and finally found the clue.
The subtle flow of air also confirmed Wu Chen's judgment. Wipe off the floating ash and press lightly on the stone, which is significantly smoother than the neighborhood.
Smoke and dust erupted, surrounding the walls, and the floating ash formed the shape of a door.
Leave the rest to Bayonetta. With a push, the secret door opened immediately.
After grabbing the torches, the group walked into the hidden basement.
The torches preempted everyone and illuminated the dusty underground space. Sure enough, it's an amusement park for collectors. Specimens made from the heads of various game species hang around the walls, and the walkway leading to the hall is covered with a thick carpet of scales. Wu Chen had seen it, and it was cut from a whole dragon's neck skin.
Needless to say, this is the hidden exhibition room of the hunter maniac and dragon slayer Fran.
According to the setting of Middle-earth, the dragon's hard defense is scales, and the skin under the scales is not hard. Otherwise, Smaug would not have been shot off a scale by Lord Girion with a black arrow, and then pierced through the heart by Bard the Marksman (a descendant of Lord Girion).
In the display case made of expensive transparent crystal, many dragon scales of different styles are lined up from large to small. Perhaps only Fran himself knows the exact location of the scales. Subconsciously looking up, the dragon's complete skull was hanging from the ceiling, staring at Wu Chen's dark eyes.
Not to mention, it's a little scary.
In front of the large long table full of dragon parts, Wu Chen found an open book. After reading it carefully, Wu Chen found that this was a book of "Notes on Dragon Slaying".
It records Fran's dragon slaying and various studies of dragons. From life habits to body structure, there are many items and they are very detailed.
Ophelia is like a treasure.
After figuring out how the language was written, Ophelia quickly cracked the code of the text and began to read fluently.
Since Fran had time to study the dragons, it means that the feud with the dwarves must have been going on for many years. Otherwise, this dragon slaying notebook shouldn't exist.
And, apparently, Fran was also paid well in advance.
Wu Chen found a whole box of Mithril ingots, as well as various high-grade gems, but there were no gold coins.
Why he was killed for fighting the dwarves for the dragon's legacy seems to be another historical mystery.
Mithril, also known as "silver iron" or "real silver" or "Moriah silver", has a silvery-white appearance, much stronger than steel, but very light. It is as malleable as bronze and can be polished like glass. Dwarves can make it a metal that is stronger than steel, but light as a goose's feather. Unlike regular silver, Mithril's luster does not fade with time.
In a word, it is as light as a feather and as strong as a dragon's scales.
Mithril is indispensable for many powerful magical weapons. During the First Age, it was found in most of the high-level weapons forged by the elves.
However, Wu Chen did not find any information about the existence of the Dragon Soul Stone, nor did he find any relevant descriptions.
However, Ophelia, who studied the notes, found the relevant clues: "Master, the notes say that Fran dismembered the dragon in a long and narrow pit, and the internal organs and blood flowed down the river into the dark river', could the Lord Ring swallowed by the dragon also flow into the dark river with the internal organs?" β
"Do you have a map?" Wu Chen thought for a while.
"Yes, there's a sketch of Fran here." Ophelia opened the map stacked in her notes.
Here's a clue. However, this clue is too dangerous.
Because the red line delineated in the sketch map is in the gray mountains, and encloses the Orc territory of Gondaba Mountain.
Anyone who has watched the movie should remember that the orcs opened the cave passage from the gray mountain range to the lonely mountain through five huge earth snakes!
The east-west gray mountains and the north-south misty mountains form a big 'human' line on the map. The word 'Yi' is the Misty Mountains, 'Yi' is the Gray Mountains, and the overlapping part is the Mountains of Angmar. The intersection of a pinch is the half-orc Gangdaba Mountain! And the lonely mountain is next to the tail of the 'pinch'. In other words, the entire Gray Mountain range, from beginning to end, has been opened!
Although there is a credit to the Earth Serpent, the bigger reason is that the Grey Mountains are almost hollowed out by the dwarves!
Therefore, the army of orcs far away at the head of the gray mountain range can cross the entire gray mountain range unimpeded and appear in the lonely mountain at the end!
"Go?" Looting Fran's collection, Ophelia smiled softly.
"Go." Wu Chen smiled and pinched the face of the beautiful snake.
Treasure hunting or something, tech nerds like it the most.
Plundering the orcs' homes, Wu Chen took a dozen of the strongest giant wolves on the road. The fortress was also retained, with the only change being the change from the pierced human head to a half-orc head.
Against the course of the Grey Forest River, the giant wolf ran wildly all the way to the Grey Mountains.
The entrance to the dwarven pit is easy to find, and the large stone carvings point the way to the team. The dwarven warrior's head carved in stone is painted with scarlet dye with the hideous fanged iron helmet of the orcs, marking the ownership of the entire mine.
The orc sentry that roams near the entrance, devoured by hungry wolves.
Wu Chen's private format not only reversed the camp of the giant wolves, but also distorted their habits.
Today, orcs have become the favorite food of giant wolves.
Not one of them. (To be continued......)
