Chapter 10: The Ancient Elves
"What's going on, are you okay?" Wang Yun asked with concern when he stayed by his side. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Firearms require a huge amount of power to activate, and with my current physical condition, it seems that it can only deliver one hit!" Dawn smiled bitterly.
"It turns out that this is an artifact, or the kind that has just entered the stream, and it really is not used by mortals!"
"It's not all like that, there are some other reasons in between, but it's better than nothing!" He looked up at the rising sun and said to Wang Yun: "Aunt Yun, it's not too early, let's leave now!"
"Don't you need to take a break or get used to it?"
"No, I'm in good spirits!" Chenxi smiled, "The artifact is in hand, go early and come back early, and let us go and meet this foreign goblin for a while!"
The rumbling of the locomotive was noisy in the barren hills, and neither the bartender nor the old drunkard who looked like a living man was telling the truth, that the location of the Scamon Villa was a long way from the town, and the road was not easy to walk.
"What kind of corpse collector would deliberately run so far, it seems that it is true that he is staring at those people early in the morning and wants to take advantage of the fisherman!" Wang Yun said with resentment.
"An, it's strange that this kind of person would tell the truth, if you can harvest the Messiah from him, you have already earned it!" Dawn didn't care, the existence of the Messianic Spear gave him a lot of confidence.
Finally, when there was no longer a feasible road, a so-called villa with a strange shape that made people uncomfortable also appeared in the field of vision of the two. The villa seems to be made of countless abandoned wooden houses that are irregularly patched together. Even if neither of them is familiar with architectural engineering, they can see that a house of this shape would never have been able to stand unless it was supported by a strange force.
"There are indeed some doorways, it seems that the opponent is not simple!" Wang Yun took out a delicate brass compass, the pointer on it swayed wildly, no matter how she did, she couldn't stop, obviously it was completely useless. "It's so strong, in this era of the end of the law, there is still such an unscrupulous squandering of mana, there will be nothing but monsters!"
"And it's a powerful and arrogant monster, maybe it's not very mentally normal, this is very in line with the goblin's residence!" **** said while taking out a yellow-framed paper crane with strange characters from the talisman bag, and blew lightly: "Shangkun and Xiadu, Lin, Zhenji is not to blame!" The characters on the paper crane suddenly emitted a blood-red light, and in Wang Yun's surprised gaze, they slowly flew towards the weird villa. "King Wen's sixty-four talismans, using essence blood as a guide, can replace spiritual power to a certain extent!" Chenxi didn't dare to slack off, and followed the paper crane on foot while explaining.
Wang Yun immediately followed: "This is also what I learned from Bai Zetu?"
"No, it was King Wen who was grateful to the first ancestor for his move to promote the throne and let the virtuous, and gave the talisman after the deduction of the "Book of Changes", the foundation of the Wu family, which only a few people can access. Wang Yun was stunned.
The paper crane does not walk in a straight line in the air, but flickers east and west, and the two of them follow it extremely hard. Until the door, the crane seemed to hit an invisible wall, and the strange spontaneous combustion turned to ashes.
"What's on the road, do you need to dodge back and forth like this?" Wang Yun felt that she was extremely ignorant now, although she had also worked part-time as a demon exorcist before, but she was dealing with some well-known zombie ghosts and the like in China, this kind of battle situation that seemed to be a bit high-end, but it was not something that she could touch as a maid.
Dawn picked up a stone and threw it at the place where the paper crane had avoided. The stone disappeared from the sight of the two of them. "Aunt Yun, the information you prepared shows that goblins are good at pranks, I think these so-called pranks are just some tricks like our Kyushu ghosts hitting the wall, and they play a role in inducing confusion by blinding the five senses. The biggest flaw in this kind of spell trap is that it will leave a slight fluctuation of spiritual power, and the paper crane that is sensitive to the flow of spiritual power is the best means of detection. Chenxi's words made Wang Yun speechless, you know, when she was on a mission in China, she often encountered situations where ghosts hit the wall and couldn't get out, but in front of Chenxi, these were not a problem at all.
Although it was the first time for Dawn to go on a mission, she had received several years of harsh training from her family, and her ability was not bad. After coming out of the gloom of escaping from his homeland, he began to find himself enjoying the feeling of this adventure. This is similar to the trembling when they first accepted the mission. He was a natural exorcist, and he was only a little weak in logistics. However, with Wang Yun, the final shortcoming no longer exists.
He stretched out his hand forward, and the spiritual qi and blood brought by the gluttonous magic trick made his senses more acute. With a slight smile, an orthodox rectangular talisman slowly flew out and stuck to an invisible wall in front of the villa door. "My Dao is powerful in mana, and it turned out to be just an illusion built by enchantment. Upper and lower detachment, Ben. Soft to the text of Gang, to Ming Shu Zheng. The fire came out of the mountain, and the ornaments were gone, and they were broken!" The rune paper showed the phantom of a volcanic eruption, and waves of oscillations were sent out from it. The villa in front of me slowly crumbles like a mirror, revealing a dilapidated megalithic building.
The building is rough and heroic, with an ancient style. There are still traces of slashing and axes on the hard boulder, and it seems that the passage of time has not affected it in the slightest. The scale of the building is not large, only a stone chamber with a single door, but it is quite tall. However, it seems that it was built in such a hurry that it looked messy and dilapidated. Looking directly at the only stone gate, Dawn noticed that a dwarf monster like a gray-skinned mouse stood at the bottom of the stone gate, looking at him with hatred.
"Elves?" said Dawn curiously, this was the first time he had seen such a magical creature.
But the goblins didn't have the friendliness to introduce themselves. "Damn human, although the land lease contract expires, I just want to stay a few more days and wait for my master to wake up. I've been polite enough to you, for the sake of the gold coins I've contributed over thousands of years, why bother!" The goblin couldn't help himself with anger, and he felt like he was about to explode at any moment. Being able to control emotions is not easy for the elven race.
"Friendliness, friendliness without bones?" Wang Yun interjected, carefully holding a peachwood sword and making a defensive gesture.
"I don't understand what you mean?" the goblin's eyes were as big as light bulbs.
"Didn't you tear the first two demon exorcists to shreds?" Wang Yun asked rhetorically. However, she also felt that something was wrong, and at that time, she deduced that the silver bullets in the Demon Breaker Gun were not used against goblins, and it didn't do much for it.
"You must be mistaken. For thousands of years, I've been careful to stay here, waiting for my master to wake up again. As rent, gold coins were regularly paid to the Pendragon family. But this year, because something strange happened to my master, I stayed here, so I didn't have time to search for gold. So much so that the family sent people to warn me several times. Of course, the order you get may be an eviction or something. But even the family understands that you newcomers have the power to threaten my mythical life. I also have my own last resort, how can I create unprovoked murder to exacerbate the conflict?" explained the goblin, rubbing his long, disproportionate fingers, still full of vigilance.
"Childe, it really doesn't seem to want to have a conflict, it's actually just a problem of tenants not paying rent. There's really no need to kill!" Wang Yun looked at the goblin's appearance, feeling a little pitiful, and couldn't help but say.
"So what?" Dawn's expression slowly became serious, and her eyes closed, as if she was contemplating.
"So, it may be wronged, and the monster that kills people is someone else?" Wang Yun didn't fail to see the change in Chenxi's expression, but still tried to persuade.
Dawn slowly opened her eyes: "Of course I know that it is wronged, and it really doesn't look like it's lying." There are still some doubts, but it doesn't hurt. But now the key question is, not whether we want to let it go, but whether what's behind it can let us go?"
"What is it?" Wang Yun looked behind the goblin suspiciously, there was the portal of the black hole of the stone building, and she didn't see anything.
"Could it be that the owner of its mouth has really "woken up"?" Dawn smiled bitterly. He also got a reminder from Bai Ze just now, thinking that the one who could stimulate that lazy guy to wake up would not be a lowly person. I thought that the unbridled mana fluctuations I felt when I first came were forged with an enchantment. Now that I think about it, it's clear that the eternal enchantment can't be concealed. And if Bai Ze's judgment is good, it is still this form of "waking up".
Wang Yun didn't hear the meaning of "wake up", and looked at the goblin again. The goblin's expression was unusually strange, as if it didn't believe that its master would wake up. But it slowly looked back with hope.
"Buzz...... A terrifying shockwave of terror erupted from the stone gate. The goblin was completely unsuspecting, and was immediately thrown far away, like a small worm.
"Xun is the wind, dry up and down, escape. Chenxi immediately made a decision, holding Wang Yun with one hand, and the two rune papers in the other hand had flown out in a whirlwind, one turned into a strong wind, slowing down the attack of the shock wave, and the other pushed the two to retreat in opposite directions.
Under the effect of the rune, the two retreated a distance of more than ten meters before slowly landing, while the defenseless goblin fell farther away, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
A giant of about five meters stepped out of the stone gate, with rock-like skin, wrapped in an animal skin skirt, and wearing a **** upper body. The other forms were no different from those of the Terrans, except for a vertical eye that glowed with a misty white light.
