Chapter Seventy-Seven: Demon Blade
"What is this sword?" Xia Yingying couldn't help but be attracted by the momentum of this mysterious remnant sword, and couldn't help asking.
"It's not a product of this generation!" Larmos grinned proudly with his dry mouth, his yellowed and loose teeth slowly swaying, and his expression was like a child showing off a new toy: "Thousands of years ago, a group of demons from the other world invaded the continent, and it was not the current guards or natural disasters that established a brilliant civilization on the continent, but a more powerful and holy race, and now we call them the Sages!" The Sages waged a protracted war against the demons that lasted for nearly a thousand years, even more so than the Great War of the Scourge Guards today. Although in the end, the Sages were victorious and succeeded in driving the demons out of the continent, but the Sage's civilization was also greatly damaged and fell into silence. Legend has it that the Sages abandoned the war-torn continent to continue their civilization elsewhere. And the current Guards Legion is a civilization that developed after the departure of the Sage! β
"We've heard the story of the Sage and the Demon." Shangguan interrupted Lalmos's narration and asked, "Then is your broken sword from a Sage or a demon?" β
"What do you think of this eerie aura?" Larmos smiled: "This is a weapon that was also very rare in previous generations, and only a high-ranking officer of the Demon Clan could possess, a fragment of the Demon Blade!" β
Demon Blade! Arguably one of the most legendary items in the world of Ruin Defense, although it is a standard piece of equipment, not as unique as the Butterfly Dragon Heart, it is after all a product of the previous generation, and the technology and craftsmanship contained in it are far from being comparable to modern craftsmanship! And in the Dota game, this weapon is also one of the most expensive non-synthetic items (single pieces).
"Just fragments?" Shangguan was a little dissatisfied: "Broken ones dare to sell them so expensive!" β
Larmos smiled: "After all, it is an antique from thousands of years ago, and the material of the demon blade belongs to a special crystal with high hardness and fragility, which needs to be supplemented by special energy to be indestructible when used, without the support of the master's strength, after thousands of years of baptism, it is almost impossible to have a complete demon blade unearthed." There are also fragments on the market, and craftsmen need this thing, also to extract the crystals inside to use as a material for casting weapons, and no one has ever seen anyone slash people with a complete demonic blade! β
Hearing this, Shangguan, who wanted to bargain, touched the nail and retreated stupidly, while the Persian cat laughed: "I see, it seems that this demon blade is not too rare, it is all over the street!" β
"Who said that!" Larmos glared, and his eyeballs almost fell out again: "This thing is extremely difficult to detect, only a first-class excavator of ruins can possibly find a fragment, and such a complete one, only Reragus can find it!" β
"Oh, it's a product patented by Relagus!" The Persian cat deliberately lengthened his voice, and when he heard this, Lalmos was not surprised, and smiled quietly: "That's why it's precious, 10,000 is not too much!" β
"Not necessarily!" At this time, it was Xia Yingying who walked up: "If people know that Reragus has shipped from you more than once, I'm afraid it's going to be troublesome!" Otherwise, how could you treasure this knife for so long? The treasure of the town? The leader of such a large merchant group would regard a few thousand gold coins as a treasure of the town? It's not much more expensive than that uplifting gem! β
"I just think it's rare, just keep a souvenir......" Lalmos hurriedly explained, but Xia Yingying asked further: "Oh? So how do you change your mind now? Don't you want more than just gold? As she spoke, Xia Yingying stroked the long hair in front of her forehead with her hand, and her inadvertent movements revealed a thousand styles, making Larmos, who was an undead, also fascinated.
After all, Lalmos is just a businessman, and he doesn't have much strength, and he can't help but weaken under Xia Yingying's charm. He held on to the corner of the table and said, "I'm just ......"
"You're just worried that the news of the Demon Blade flowing out of your hand will spread, so you haven't put it on the table to sell! And now it's time to tell us the news of Reragus anyway, so why don't you just take the inventory that has been smashed in your hands for years as well, right? Xia Yingying continued to ask with a smile, and the charm between her eyebrows made Lalmos sit directly in the chair. Xia Yingying's charm is irresistible even for senior adventurers, let alone a businessman in a plot world.
"That's enough, you just have to buy it! I sue you all! Lalmos already felt dizzy and a little hysterical: "I received this thing for 5,000 yuan, and I just want to sell it without paying for it, and 10,000 is really not much!" If you're still too expensive, just go to another house and ask, I'd rather fight for the news to leak than do a money-losing deal! β
Seeing that this Larmos was already like this, Xia Yingying glanced back at the Persian cat and nodded, what Larmos said should be true.
The Persian cat walked up directly, counted out ten thousand-dollar gold tickets and slapped them on the table: "Okay, I want to do it, but you have to tell me the news about Reragus without reservation!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦
On the middle of the guard, on the embankment near the river, a warship is docking.
The ship was ornate in shape, with huge iron ramming horns mounted on the bow, three towering masts erected on the deck, and a huge hideous skeleton painted in white paint on the huge black sails.
This ship is the exclusive ship of the Scourge hero, King Leorik, commonly known as Skeletron, and in addition to Skeletron, it also carries his two hundred undead guards.
As undead people who don't need to breathe, these guys won't have any problem even if they just come from the bottom of the river. But intelligent creatures, always talk about some pomp, other heroes cross the river in gorgeous warships, only you walk from the bottom of the river, inevitably lose some aura.
The huge ship slowly approached the shore, and the tall Skeletron stepped off the board with heavy steps and stepped on the solid ground.
The powerful Scourge hero came to the chassis of the Guards Legion on the south side of the river with only one purpose, and that was to receive the Second Tower of the Guards Middle Lane, which had just destroyed the core of its magic.
The characters in the plot, even if they are heroes, do not have the same news network as adventurers, they have no way of knowing which hero was killed by which adventurer, and they cannot know which fortress was attacked in the first place. However, as the core of the magic power located on the continental leyline, once it changes, it will affect the entire leyline, whether it is a natural disaster or a guard.
Not long ago, a herald with the rank of centurion in the Scourge Base Camp used a teleportation scroll to the First Tower of the Middle Scourge and reported to Skeletron the latest news displayed by the Magic Monitoring Point in the Scourge Camp: There has been a huge fluctuation in the leylines, and the signal of the magic core of the Second Tower in the Middle Scourge has disappeared, and it is presumed that it has been completely destroyed!
The Mana Core is the core of a Fortress, and in the concept of the Natives of the World in the Battle of the Ruins, the only way to destroy the Mana Core is to break the Stronghold first. Therefore, this news is equivalent to suing SΓΉ Skeleton King, for some unknown reason, the fortress of the second tower of the middle road of the guard has fallen, and he is just waiting for him to bring someone to receive it.
As for what the "unknown cause" was, Skeletron's empty head didn't bother to think about it. Having one more life than others makes him far slower in his judgment of danger than others, and he is more reluctant to expend his brain power to consider potential crises.
For example, now, the huge skeleton with the golden crown was just shouting at the soldiers behind him to hurry up and get off the boat and move forward, not even noticing that a tall figure was standing on the high embankment not far in front of him, looking at him with a pair of cold eyes!
The figure moved! Rush down the riverbank at lightning speed and head straight for Skeletron!
The undead soldiers who noticed immediately shouted in alarm, and by the time Skeletron turned, the figure had already rushed closer, raising his terrifying pitch-black fist and striking him in the rib-only chest!
With a bang, Skeletron's bones were thick and solid, but he couldn't block the punch, several ribs were broken on the spot, fragments flew around, and the invincible King Leorik was also sent flying!
Skeletron's back hit the ground heavily, his angular spine dragging deep ravines in the sands of the riverbank. This powerful hero hasn't reacted to it until now, who attacked him?!
But there is no need to guess that much now, since someone is coming to fight, then fight happily! Skeletron clenched the long knife and shield in his hand, and was about to get up, but the figure had already rushed forward.
Another punch!
This punch came from top to bottom, with a lot of momentum, and Skeletron could only fight to resist, and he could raise his shield to block this attack!
Boom! The hero's shield was so hard that the invincible fist didn't break it. But the impact of this heavy punch was not wasted at all, and the shield was completely transmitted to Skeletron's arm!
The shield was hard enough, but Skeletron's bones couldn't withstand the terrifying weight, and the joints were immediately misaligned, the bones shattered, and his entire left arm was completely paralyzed!
Although there was no pain, the destruction of his body angered the hero who had risen from the ruins of eternity, and he roared, picking up his heavy and sharp sword and slashing at his enemy's neck, threatening to decapitate him on the spot!
The enemy barely even dodged, the long knife hit the neck accurately, and Skeletron's right hand felt a strong touch. But what shocked him was that the touch was not the expected feeling of cutting into human flesh, but as if it was cut on a hard rock, only the epidermis was scratched, and it was difficult to enter!
Click! Skeletron felt an attack on his right shoulder, and then his entire right hand lost support, and the long knife fell to the ground.
Skeletron, who had lost his arms, finally felt panic for the first time, and at this time, he heard the enemy riding on him smirk and said, "Haha, the first time I saw you, I was attracted by that intoxicating aroma, then you're welcome!" β
Immediately afterward, Skeletron saw the other party put his hands into his broken chest, and then he felt the rapid loss of life force......
