Chapter 280: Enlightenment and Healing A difficult task to defend the city
Main quests, side quests, side plots, reward points......
These special words, with an unusually strong sense of immediacy, are reminded of being in the movie "Evil Dead", and then being asked to complete tasks to get rewards for unknown purposes, so that Xiao Lan can't think of the concept of "game" anyway.
However, this game is so real that even a fictional game that is still in legend cannot make up the concept of life and soul. So if it's really a game, the only person behind it can be the gods!
And realizing that he was just a small chess piece under the gaze of a great will, Xiao Lan suddenly felt a burst of weakness in his whole body and then immediately relieved, he didn't know what was going on in that memory that was still blank, but the power that he did touch belonged to him was absolutely true.
No matter what the facts are, what he should do now is to play this damn game well, this game is completely "real" in the real world except for voice prompts, and there should be no resurrection point when he dies, right?
So now there are only two goals: one is to stay alive, and the second is to complete the mission and get the unknown but absolutely useful reward points and side plots!
The main quest is the seemingly simple "Back to the Future." "But in fact, to accomplish this task is to need the crucial Book of the Dead, which seems to be in the hands of the Necromantic King who is planning to destroy the world.
This task is completely impossible at this stage, and even Merlin was almost crippled by a sword when he went, and there may be some hope if King Arthur's Knights of the Round Table are all together.
Compared with Flora's performance close to the level of an ordinary Knight of the Round Table, Xiao Lan can roughly deduce the strength of Lancelot Gawain, which is definitely stronger than his current self It should not be impossible to rush into the Necromantic Legion, but according to Merlin's statement that only he can kill the incarnation of death, even if his current strength goes, it is completely dead......
To put it simply, it's a bit too far away to talk about this, and it's better to focus on something more practical.
Not to mention how to defend this city, Merlin's injuries must be solved first-
The role that a legendary mage can play is definitely not a little bit, and the main quest also says that you can't destroy history or you will bear the consequences, and Xiao Lan doesn't want to try to change the consequences of history at all, so Merlin must not have any accidents in this place at this time!
As for the issue that Xiao Lan emphasized, this time the ** master did not mention it again, but told the specific situation at Flora's strong request.
"You don't have to waste your efforts, my injuries are caused by the pure power of death, except for pure vitality and stronger energy, everything else will become nourishment." There was not much hope, and the old man, who was weak because of the scar, said, "This level of energy, ordinary people will probably die in less than a breath and then immediately regenerate into an undead, but I am a legend, I still barely suppressed it, but the only bottle of life that can save my life is still in Camelot......"
The implication is that you must go to the royal city of Camelot to get the Fountain of Life, or send Merlin himself to Camelot.
Thinking of this for the first time, Flora turned her head very directly and looked at the demon on the side with a begging expression that almost cried.
"Aren't you able to fly, then hurry up and take the ** division to Camelot, even if it is a round trip at your speed, you will definitely be able to do it, right?"
Xiao Lan really didn't have the ability to refuse the female knight who showed such an expression, but when he was about to nod his head in agreement, he suddenly remembered something.
"Wait a minute, if you talk about vitality......" said to himself, he touched the space ring on his left hand, and took out a few bottles from it with an instinctive method, "Merlin, take a look, are these things useful?" ”
The teacher's reaction was completely beyond the expectations of the two, this old man originally looked weak and was about to die, but when he saw that Xiao Lan took out something he actually rubbed and jumped up.
"Loser, you loser!" He scolded the overwhelmed Xiao Lan, and snatched the bottle with a strange shape in the demon's hand, "This level of treasure, you actually use this kind of bottle to hold it!" ”
“……”
Xiao Lan had nothing to say at all, he still had a blank memory, he didn't know what this thing in the ring was, and compared to the one in it, it looked like a magic cabinet in "Raiders of the Lost Ark......
For reasons not to seriously change history, he did not take out this absolutely shocking holy relic, but picked up a bottle and put it in front of him and smelled it.
"Is this thing really precious?"
He asked suspiciously, although he could feel the rich vitality contained in it, but the bottle contained it made him really dare not compliment.
Coke bottles, and 1.5-liter medium-sized Coke bottles, what kind of treasure would use this thing to hold several large bottles......
Hearing this, Merlin roared again, making the originally gray look a lot more rosy.
"This is the fountain of life! Do you say that it is precious? My bottle was bottled in the highest grade crystal bottle, and then locked in a five-fold encrypted magic box, which was intended to be used when it mattered most! The old man who blew his beard and stared at him explained loudly, and looked at the bottle with a heartache, "And you, you actually use this kind of bottle with super serious energy leakage to put it, and there are several large bottles in one bottle, you shouldn't be the goddess of life her relative, right?" ”
The Fountain of Life is the top natural treasure in the natural environment, as far as Merlin knows, only Avalon, the fantasy town where the goblins live, has a small amount of production, he only got such a small bottle as a treasure by chance, seeing Xiao Lan take out so much at once, he almost didn't faint from a sudden stroke.
And in fact, this so-called fountain of life, which Merlin regarded as a treasure, is actually the spring water transformed by Xiao Lan with the [Holy Grail] that has carried the blood of the gods.
In the demon team, Zheng Zhe, whose essence is "death", was overcome by this pure "life", and no one else, including Chu Xuan, had surpassed his right to speak, so this holy grail has always been held by Xiao Lan in his hand, and with enough reserves of soul, he has transformed into a sufficient amount of life fountain that can be squandered, and for him, it is basically the price of cabbage, and of course it doesn't matter if this thing is contained in a Coke bottle.
It's a pity that Xiao Lan, who has temporarily lost that memory, doesn't know what's going on, and the space ring where the Holy Grail is placed is worn on his lost right arm, and he doesn't have any impression of what he intends to do with this Holy Grail without any impression.
Of course, that's another story.
At this moment, Merlin finally got back to business after scolding, and the first thing was to treat his injuries.
With a chant of incantations that did not understand the meaning, the spring water turned into a misty vapor under the effect of magic, and completely integrated into the old man's body along with the druid's unique magic fluctuations, and then the gray color that represented death finally faded little by little, and the injured position quickly returned to a smooth and unscarred one.
In addition, although there is such a large amount of spring water, the ** master is still very careful with it, in his words: the fountain of life, as the ultimate of life, is the necromancer necromancer whose essence is death, and it is more effective than the holy water of the Holy See, and it can definitely play a role in the next defense battle more than a little!
And after that, it's time to prepare for a tough battle in less than a day......
Merlin sent a message to King Arthur as soon as he came out of the Dead Realm, and received a message from King Arthur in the south shortly after he recovered from his injuries, but he didn't know if it was good news or bad news.
The good news is that King Arthur immediately decided to take 150 Knights of the Round Table, their attendants, and cavalry without the title of knight in the army, a total of about a thousand people rushed to the Horn Fort as fast as possible.
The bad news is that even then it will take them about two days to arrive, after all, a large-scale march on the ground cannot be as casual as a bird, both men and horses need to rest to ensure combat effectiveness, and it is better not to come if they come to die all the way, and the remaining infantry who move slowly cannot be of much use to plan to return to Camelot to rest first.
To put it simply, they are on their own for about a day.
It's a tough situation......
Fort Horn is indeed a super fortress that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, the walls are ten meters wide enough for four horses to walk side by side, and the breastwork of the defending army is only for tall people to look out, and the walls are full of arrow holes that allow archers to aim at the enemy, and the front of the enemy is unusually smooth and flat, and the huge stones are so close to each other that there is no place to stay, for the attacking troops, this is definitely an obstacle that is as difficult to overcome as a cliff.
However, no matter how strong a strong city is, it cannot be defended without sufficient troops.
The city, where there is almost no war, has less than a thousand guards, which already includes vigilante patrols and hunters who basically go around the mountains, and there are less than three hundred available regular troops who have actually been on the battlefield.
In comparison, the mid-to-high-end combat power is relatively abundant, Xiao Lan himself is an existence that can basically mow the grass, the female warriors who came with Flora generally have the combat power of quasi-knights, and although Merlin is not a full-time combat warlock, he also has his own means of attack.
But Xiao Lan doesn't think that the high-level units in the necromancer will give him the opportunity to mow the grass, personal combat power is indeed very important, but the role it can play in the defensive battle is basically weakened to a minimum, the current strength and the upcoming 20,000 necromantic legions are almost completely incomparable, if there is a city to defend, it is estimated that it will completely collapse in less than a quarter of an hour, and the killed parents do not know, and then he can only watch the city fall by the necromancer......
Therefore, in the next extremely short but extremely critical day, the three people who represented the strongest combat power racked their brains and did their best.
-- All for the sake of reversing the situation that bordered on despair! (To be continued.)
