"Dukal" is a well-known name among the high elves - "Dukal the Genius", "Dukal the Dragon Slayer" and other similar titles appear in many history books, but without exception: his records are all brushed off, and no more ink has ever been spent.

The reason for this is his most famous nickname: "The Cursed Dukal".

Nephie doesn't know why he was "cursed", but from the account of "Conversations with Dragons", she learns that Dukal has never been recognized by the High Elves in his life.

"Well, that's right."

Camila whispered affirmative of Nefi's answer, and she took her daughter's small hand and walked towards Pachar's Magic Tower, thinking in her heart to see if there were any new records in the monitoring circle...

Will there be any more explosions? Will Roddy be in danger?

Because of her silence, the atmosphere between mother and daughter cooled a little, but Camila quickly realized that she shouldn't have snubbed Nephie so much, and continued to ask, "So is there anything else in the book?" Did you mention 'Longwei?' ”

"It's mentioned, it's a special skill that can deter enemies by bloodline..."Nefi then shook his head, "I haven't seen the rest yet, so I don't know." ”

"Well, I'll continue to test your questions after reading this book, Mom will go to the top of the magic tower first, you can just play in the library below, remember not to go out of the city

"Got it, Mom."

Although Nephie didn't say much, she could feel the anxiety and worry in the other person's heart as she looked at the back of her mother leaving—in Nefi's memory, her mother had never been so concerned about anyone, even when she asked "who is her father", Camilla didn't have any extra expression on her face...

Thinking of a possibility, Nephie was not sure for a while, so she could only bury such a thought in her heart, she looked back at the team that was unloading the hedron in the shadow of the magic tower, sorted out the fiery red pieces, and walked towards the library at the base of the magic tower.

June 14.

In the northwestern part of the Silent Forest, the team of the "Holy Society" changed its previous rapid progress, and all forty-two people were in the woodland, and began to slowly advance step by step.

When the lieutenant beside Lucius made the gesture of "stop advancing", everyone's footsteps immediately froze in place, and the arcanists at this time did not condense any element, and after the aura converged, even the most keen-sensed hunters could not detect their existence.

However, this kind of "lurking" is just a "pediatric" in Lucius's eyes, and his strength has reached his level at this time, and he understands how strong the vigilance of the dragon clan is. So an hour earlier, he had cast an "Arcane Shielding Barrier" that perfectly concealed sounds, smells, breaths, and even elemental rhythms.

Obviously, Lucius had been well prepared for it.

"Slaying dragons" requires careful planning and calculation, and it is definitely not as simple and rude as "rushing up to fight" - "dragons" are higher creatures, and a dragon that has been hit hard and hidden in the forest will naturally be extremely vigilant... The dragons who say that "no one in their eyes" in the bard's mouth are coaxing children, and there is only one life, and the long-lived dragons know more about "avoiding danger" than humans.

"Elder, all the team members are in place."

The adjutant whispered to Lucius about the status of the team, "The members of the scouts reported the results, and as you suspected, there were no hedrons in the ruins. ”

"Dragons are not complacent, they know how to learn better than humans."

Lucius didn't have the slightest expression of surprise, he raised his hand and pointed to the unmistakable scene in front of him, and said, "The other party took the spar left in the ruins, and then built a warning circle and a protective barrier next to it. However, although the camouflage is ingenious, there are traces to follow. ”

Knowing the barrier, Lucius didn't rush to attack... For a team with Teeth of Mourning, there is no need to go to great lengths to scare the snake.

He slowly erected the [Tooth of Mourning] in front of him and continued, "It won't take long to dismantle these barriers, so the Chaos Defense Barrier must start to maintain now... And when the other party appears, Yiqiē acts according to the plan, and there must be no accidents. ”

Lucius exhaled slowly, and said with a solemn expression, "Remember, even if the other party is a seriously injured dragon, we don't have a second chance. ”

"Yes, Elder."

The adjutant passed down the order in a low voice, and in less than half a minute, the arcanists who were standing in a special formation began to recite the spell silently, and when the "Chaos Defense Barrier" cast by condensing the power of all the mages was quietly formed, Lucius looked up at the "Arcane Shielding Barrier" that could perfectly camouflage the team, and after confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand and began to cast the spell...

At the same moment, Roddy's team had just stepped into the ruins.

Because he didn't march with the sapper team, Roddy, who only wanted to find the ruins as much as he could, rushed all the way here.

Due to the limited manpower, Roddy only had Nata and the two scout teams scout and guard the surrounding area, and after confirming that "nothing was out of the ordinary", he immediately ordered the team to start searching the ruins...

Indeed, as Camilla described, it was a military fortress that had not yet been destroyed.

The buildings of the high elves are not the same as those of humans, and from Roddy's point of view, the fortress in front of him looks like a miniature version of Elson City: the walls are not high, the area is not large, but the well-preserved buildings inside can be called "all kinds of organs".

The tall elf villages and towns that I saw before are now unrecognizable because of the many wooden buildings, but the fortress still retains its complete layout due to the pure stone material. The "Weapons Depot", "Equipment Depot", "Dormitory", and "Canteen" are still standing, but the original training site has long been overgrown with trees as high as the city wall, and as far as the eye can see, it seems that every qiē is full of primitive atmosphere.

"Don't miss a place, look carefully, and report it at any time."

Roddy, who was carrying a short bow and holding a battle axe, pointed around: "Team 1 and Team 2 are searching all the rooms on the ground, Team 3 is looking for the entrance to the basement, and Team 4 is on guard outside. ”

One by one, Roddy looked up at Nata standing on the giant tree, made a gesture, turned his head and made a "battle alert" gesture to Sodrol and Akasha behind him, and then glanced at Nokia guarding the gate of the fortress, and walked into the depths of the fortress...

Although it is calm on the surface, the closer he gets to the fortress along the way, the tighter the string in his heart becomes - it is absolutely a lie to say that he is not nervous, Roddy can withstand the pressure, but it does not mean that he can "stop his heart like water"...

The heart was pounding, and sweat was pouring from the palm of the hand holding the axe... Roddy, who was familiar with Elson City, knew that in the fortress, the hedron stored in the central circle was usually in the center of the entire complex: that is, the "conning tower" that Roddy had just entered.

However, as soon as he walked in, Roddy was the first to notice the marks on the ground...

"Footprints?"

There was a soft fungus blanket on the floor of the stone room, on which several footprints were clearly visible, Sodrol immediately took a few steps forward, bowed his head and confirmed: "It should have been left within a day, and the traces of the squeezing of the soles of the leather boots have not disappeared." ”

Roddy's face changed slightly, and without saying a word, he picked up the axe and continued to walk inside, Sodrol followed behind him with a sword and shield, while Akasha, who was standing in the doorway, frowned and looked around, as if to confirm something...

However, she soon realized that she was about to be left in the dark by Roddy, and hurriedly lit the ring in her hand and followed the two.

The command room was not very large, and Luo Di quickly found the place marked "Charged Hedron Warehouse", but after entering the stone gate, the scene in front of him made his heart instantly cold:

The whole room was empty, there was nothing

And he and Sodrore noticed a detail at the same time: the dust on the ground had obvious ridge-like marks, that is... Hedrons have indeed been stored here

Sodrore carefully examined the details in this room, and then whispered, "There are two people's footprints all the way to here, and there are not many traces of people walking... Judging from the imprint of dust, the number of spars here is at least five hundred, and may even double. ”

"I've heard of magic that can carry things, but with so many hedrons, I'm afraid it's hard to move them all at once—"

"Someone can move out all at once."

Roddy narrowed his eyes, thinking of no one else, and the first thing that came to mind was the Holy Order Arcanist marked with "black" fonts,

Only a guy of this caliber could easily carry so many hedrons - and logically speaking, it was normal for the Holy Society to be interested in "charged hedrons"... So Roddy instinctively judged that this might have been their doing.

However, Roddy was not resentful or out of control because of this, he took a deep breath, turned around, and whispered as he walked out: "Summarize the news, make sure one last time, if there is really nothing here, immediately go to the next target." ”

The more desperate he became, the clearer his mind became, and after so many setbacks and battles, he had already understood how to stabilize the morale of the army at a critical moment.

"Report, no spars"

"Report, not present..."

Walking out of the command room, one message after another came as expected, Roddy pursed his lips slightly, and didn't say anything, but just as the team gradually converged, he saw Akasha looking around suspiciously.

"Is there a situation?"

"Roddy, I think... A little off. ”

Akasha's gaze swept over the stone rooms and the tall trees, looking confused but with a hint of fear: "There's an aura of chaos here... It makes me very uncomfortable, I feel... We'd better get out of here as much as we can. ”

Luo Di looked at her and hesitated for half a second, and then said loudly without hesitation: "Everyone, retreat immediately"

Akasha is the only priest on the team and has the nickname "Angel of Death", and Roddy trusts her instincts, whether she senses them are sharp or not

The four teams of soldiers rushed towards the outside of the fortress with Roddy and the others, but before they could take a few steps, everyone heard the sudden spread throughout the sky... The sound of the barrier shattering.

"Click"

"Don't Stop"

An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Roddy's heart, and he shouted this sentence to the team, but then everything in his ears disappeared.

The whole world was filled with a roar that had never been heard before...

There was no shock wave, no dust raised, Roddy only felt a blank in his mind, and then he lost control of his body, and the whole person froze in place

And an unprecedented orange warning icon appeared on the [status bar]:

[Long Wei]: Stiffen in place for 1 minute.
