276 Necronomical: A Prophetic Prophecy
Perhaps because of her undisguised possessiveness that led to a not-so-good first impression, Flora stubbornly refused to admit the man in front of her, and struggled to correct Merlin's judgment to gain the right to slay the demon.
However, her idea was not destined to succeed.
"Don't let emotions blind you, Flora." said this earnestly, and the key point in the ** master's words was "You are not those paladins of the Holy See on the mainland, don't use their meaning to define evil demons, otherwise I will also be the target of your sanctions?" ”
Merlin, his mother is the daughter of a sorcerable king, and his father is an incubus with magical powers, meaning that he is a hybrid who has inherited his mother's kindness and his father's magical powers.
And because he also had demonic blood in his body, and the druid's nature doctrine did not define the soul as harshly and rigidly as the church, he was able to understand the condition of the man who was being bound.
Of course, this is not the case for the crucial part of the matter.
Be a druid, a mage, a wise man, a counselor, a prophet...... Merlin, who usually accompanies King Arthur, suddenly runs to this remote area to the north, and his purpose is definitely not to save a woman.
When the female knight was silent for a while because of his words, the ** master used as simple language as possible to show his true intentions.
"You may not feel it yet, but my eyes have seen a future obscured by the shadow of death: the Necromantic Monarch has raised an army in the Wastelands, summoning the Dead with the intention of leading the world to death, and once he begins to attack, all life will usher in the true end of the world!"
As a revered prophet, his prophecies were definitely not alarmist.
However, this prophecy is a bit too sensational......
"Undead? Referring to the things that are sometimes encountered in ancient tombs and gloomy caves, those skeletons of bones that don't even have meat can be considered the end of the world? ”
In places where the yin qi is very heavy, there will sometimes be undead activities, and sometimes there will be ghosts haunted in some murderous houses, although Flora can't be said to be as well-informed as the knights who run all over the world, but she has also accompanied some druids in the work of cleaning up the undead, except for the ghosts are not easy to find, other zombies and skeletons are not much better than firewood under her sword, and they are basically very simple swords and one by one.
Maybe it's terrifying when it's big in numbers, but no matter how many of them are, can that kind of thing stop King Arthur and his Knights of the Round Table?
It's a pity, if it's really just this level, then Merlin doesn't need to come all the way from here.
"If it's as simple as you think, things will be easy......" shook his head with a wry smile, and the ** master looked helpless, "The kind of existence you are talking about can only be regarded as the lowest level, no-strictly speaking, it is not even the lowest, it is just a puppet that is infected by the breath of death." ”
"In the picture I saw, the Necromantic King can bring back to the world the dead of the past and the lives that have just been killed, and the awakened necromancers generally have no less strength than they were in life, and the characteristics of the undead allow them to ignore a lot of ordinary attacks, and the distribution of troops is not just as simple as skeleton zombies, I have at least seen ghosts, gargoyles, and powerful units such as banshees, corpse witches, and death knights, but in fact, it would be fine if it was the only one, but I also saw the heroes of the past-"
"Yes, awakened from the eternal sleep of death, and returned to earth to join the army of the Necromantic King...... As powerful and more powerful than Lancelot, there are dozens, hundreds, or even more! ”
Under Flora's incredulous-wide gaze, Merlin continued in a voice that even he didn't seem to believe.
"Such an army of necromancy is enough to make people desperate, but it is not completely impossible to deal with, as long as all the forces of the human race are gathered, all the armies and heroes are gathered, there may not be a way to destroy all the necromancers, but it is definitely enough to open up a passage directly to the necromantic king who is the summoner, and then as long as the summoner is killed, then the remaining undead will not be in a steady stream even if they do not return to tranquility immediately-"
"That's the most important thing, the Necromantic King has enough power to match or even surpass the gods, but he can't defeat it if he combines all the heroic powers...... But only to defeat, not to kill. As the embodiment of death, as long as the concept of "death" still exists, no matter how many times he is defeated, he will never be destroyed! ”
As Merlin said this, Flora seemed to suddenly remember something, and her intuition as a woman spoke her guess.
"If it's really as desperate as you said, you shouldn't spread this despair when you see the future, but since you say it, it means that things are still going to turn around......" looked at Xiao Lan, who was firmly bound by thorns and fell into a coma, her face was full of incredulity, "You specially ran here from King Arthur, could it be for this guy?" ”
This "demon" who blasphemes his soul will be the key to saving the world?
That's how cruel the reality is......
"What amazing intelligence and analysis, why did you choose to become a knight in the first place?" Acknowledging Flora's speculation in disguise, Merlin touched his beard and said the real key, "That's right, the only one who can really destroy the Necromantic King can do this - the opposite of life as the representative of the Necromantic King." ”
Subsequently, the ** teacher really spoke amazingly.
"Strictly speaking, the Necromantic King is the same person as him. Judging from the picture I saw, he should have traveled through time and space to come to this world in the future, and for some special reason he was divided into the Necromantic King representing "death" and him representing "life", and this accident led to the disaster in our world, but at the same time, it also left an opportunity to solve this disaster-"
"Once he dies, no matter who dies in the hands of him, he will return to "death", so that the Necromantic King will become a true immortal being, and if he regains the lost half of his soul, the "death" that has lost the dependent medium will return to the original state of having no will, and this is the only way to kill the Death King.
The Death Incarnate probably never dreamed that there was a kind of person called [Prophet] in this world, who almost completely touched his bottom clearly, and turned his initial move of letting go of the Orthodox body to attack the Shadow Country as a failure-
Perhaps, this must be the result of a fate manipulated by a special will and power?
That future that has been determined, and the ending must be a hero saving the world from the beginning?
This may be the case, but there is a key problem.
"I know the general situation, but is it possible for him to defeat the Necromantic King?" Pointing to Xiao Lan, who was almost solved by Merlin's move, Flora wanted to know the answer to the question, "His strength is indeed good, but it is definitely not as good as the Sun Knight Gawain, not to mention the stronger Perfect Knight Lord Lancelot, an enemy that even the Knight of the Round Table can't defeat?" ”
This sharp but very practical question directly stumped His Excellency the ** Master for a while.
"No, or not now...... But either way, that's the only hope for now. Smiling wryly, Merlin continued as if comforting himself, "And there's no need to be so pessimistic, aren't miracles considered impossible before they happen?" ”
When Flora was stunned for a moment because of these words, the ** master turned around and waved the staff in his hand, and used a spell to untie the thorns on Xiao Lan's body-
This action directly frightened the female knight.
"Wait, wait! Is it appropriate to untie him now? If he wakes up and suddenly goes violent, even you can't be sure to catch it once, right? ”
Anyone can learn the lessons of failure, let alone have the existence of this level of power, the only thing missing in Merlin's class is a full-time combat warlock, Flora doesn't think he can't solve it, but definitely has to pay a bigger and more price!
It's just that for her worry, the ** master has a look on his face, "Don't worry, the venom injected into him is the highest level, this dose is even a dragon, and he will sleep for at least a whole night, although his demon bloodline is very advanced, but his resistance is not stronger than that of a dragon." ”
In addition, the ** master knows more about the physical condition of the demon than himself.
"What happened to him was actually miserable enough, traveling through time and space - rather banishment, it caused serious damage to his soul and body, so that even the previous memories were temporarily and completely gone, and half of his soul was split so that he couldn't suppress his blood instinct......" Supporting this silver-haired handsome man who had been released from the transformation of the demon, Merlin handed it over to the female knight very seriously, "I couldn't solve the trauma caused by the lack of soul, But he seems to have filled the void on his own, presumably the soul sacrifice effect you mentioned, and now the spell I cast on him can suppress his instincts and slowly restore his memory. And if I remember correctly, there's supposed to be a Hornfort around here, right? ”
"That's right, that's where we resupply, and that's the most remote city in the kingdom." Some reluctantly took over the unconscious Xiao Lan, and Flora, who carried it directly on her shoulder, immediately asked, "Why are you asking this, aren't you going to take this "savior" with you?" ”
The division nodded, confirming the knight's conjecture.
"That's right, you take him to Fort Horn first, and I'll meet you tomorrow before the effects of his medicine have passed, and now I must go to the north for myself." In a tone that could not be objected to, Merlin gave direct instructions on the next course of action: "After all, the message seen by the prophet is incomplete, and I have a question that I must verify for myself. ”
The circumstances under which this man was able to escape were too suspicious, but this could barely be explained by strength and luck, but the Necromantic King's failure to pursue could only be due to something more important-
What is it that can make him even put his immortality aside for the time being?
If he can't find out, he will definitely have trouble sleeping!
