Chapter 44: Using the wrong method
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The atmosphere in the cluttered hall plummeted, and Doyle stayed outside because it was a secret conversation.
Knowing Link's thoughts at the moment, Doyle's expression, who was not able to disguise his feelings, instantly turned cold, and even put his hand on the long sword he was wearing at his waist.
Due to the light blade used by the Dawn Knight is condensed by divine power, Doyle accepted Orlando's gift of the steel longsword forged by the dwarves in order to defend himself, which is the private collection of the Doyle family's secret vault, although it cannot be compared with magic weapons, but it is better than the circulating goods on the market.
Yoda, who had been on guard all the time, noticed Doyle's change, and he exchanged a look with Belloc beside him.
They knew a little about the extra young man around Link, who was none other than Vera Doyle, who was supposed to succeed Cronberg. Even if the union and Cobwebs were better informed than the average person, they were limited to knowing that her mother, Winnie, was the mastermind behind the Kronberg undead incident. The president risked his life to leave the headquarters and travel all the way to meet with the Children of Nature, so he didn't want to meddle in this, did he?
Yoda thinks that Bridge is acting as a lobbyist for the royal family or some big noble, and wants Link to hand over Doyle, which is inappropriate.
The Child of Nature took Doyle with him, making it clear that he wanted to protect her.
Belloc didn't think that Bridge had come for an inconsequential 'little role', but he wasn't sure what the guild had secretly talked to Link about would have changed the face of the former Dawn believer, who had become a follower of the Children of Nature once and for all.
Don't be nervous, Doyle. Link reassures her. No matter what happens, he will bear it. Even Dawn allowed her to live, so the nobles of the human race didn't want to make any bad decisions.
"President Bridge. Are you here to be a lobbyist?"
Bridge waved his hand again and again, "Your Excellency misunderstood, although this living fire is not as precious as soul energy and demon spirits, it is not a rare thing to get lightly. It has the attribute of fire, and when it is not activated, it can be used as a normal metal, which is just right to create a good magic weapon for your newly adopted daughter. β
Link thought of many possibilities, but he didn't expect this.
This is a congratulatory gift to congratulate him on adopting an adopted daughter?!
"Why, am I the first?" asked Bridge, looking surprised.
This old fox...... Did he know that Doyle had demonic blood? Was that sentence accidental?
Link was a little unsure. A single know-how can solve the problem, but it seems to be a bit wasteful here. And, if it had been too deeply implicated in him, wouldn't he see nothing?
But when it came to talking, Link wasn't sure he could get the information he wanted to know from Bridge's mouth.
"Can't you take it? This doesn't count as an intervention, right?" Seeing that Link still didn't move, Bridges was a little anxious.
"There will be a lot of things in the future, and I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time to make magic props for the union. β
Link's ambiguous attitude gives Bridge a glimmer of hope.
"There's no rush. It's enough to make one piece a month, and with your current status, more will drop the price. β
Having said that, if Link doesn't answer again, it will be a bit of a shame for Bridge, who originally took the initiative to ask to cooperate with the union.
I took the manuscript and didn't look at it, and put it in the dimensional bag. Link picked up the diamond-shaped live fire from the box and shook it in his hand, which was surprisingly light. If it weren't for this special feel, it would easily be mistaken for lava stone.
This was tantamount to an agreement, and Bridge breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
"The guild will run for it himself, shouldn't it be for these two things?" Link held the cooled demon flame in one hand. I didn't believe it, so I just came to meet him for these two things.
"Haha......" Bridget smiled awkwardly, "actually." I was entrusted by the princess. β
Princess, Frannie, Link squinted, the woman hadn't given up yet?
"Princess Frankie has entrusted me with a message that she has a list of nobles who have secretly sent someone to investigate the collusion with the undead. β
"And then?"
She ...... We hope to exchange this for your understanding. Bridge's words were spoken very slowly, for fear of upsetting Link.
At this time, at that time, the children of nature have now proved their abilities with the Battle of Grantham, assisting Bray to replace Lorelei, and supporting the Duke of New Kronberg. At the Hall of Mirrors meeting, Frankie was severely humiliated by Link, and not only did the royal family's prestige plummet, but even Hornheim, who had always supported Frankney, drew a line with her. In this case, will the Child of Nature agree?
The union had a close relationship with the royal family in the past, and it was not known whether the royal family would be able to make a comeback in the future, so it was difficult to do something desperately, so Bridge had to make a trip in person to show caution. In person, even if the conversation collapses, it is good to appease and apologize, but if it is a magic communication, the other party turns off the spell, and there is no way to talk about it.
Bridge nervously watched Link's every move, refusing to let go of the subtle expression on his face.
What is Farney going to do with the undead? Link was a little puzzled, it stands to reason that at the Hall of Mirrors meeting, it was revealed that the royal family had taken in the spies who had fallen to Longyan Castle, and she had completely offended Farni, but she took the initiative to show goodwill...... What do you guys think?
The last one is to ask the other three who are connected to his consciousness.
[Could it be a trap?] Doyle's idea is more direct, [deliberately give you a fake list and let you kill the nobles by mistake to achieve the purpose of revenge?]
If that's all it takes, Link is afraid that Frannie's list is true, after all, Hohenheim has drawn a line with the royal family, putting her in a dangerous and passive position, and it makes sense that he will put down his body and ask for help.
[Lorelei, what do you think?]
[Take it first, haven't you already said that you want to punish those nobles who collude with the undead, it just so happens that the hand of punishment appears, even if you don't accept it, it will have nothing to do with this organization. With the list in hand, you can save the time of secret visits, and I think that princess will not make a fuss about the authenticity of the list, after all, this matter is an intermediary made by the adventurers' union, and if something goes wrong, let them testify to you. γ
Link wasn't worried about the list being fake, but Frannie's sudden 180-degree turn was a bit of an unacceptable gesture.
Didn't this last princess claim to be bloodline? Why is it that at this time, he is willing to condescend and come to sue for peace with a shy face?
Let's say it's a conspiracy. It's reasonable, it's normal, but I always feel that something is wrong?
After thinking about it and not coming up with a result, Link asks Bridges why Frannie is doing this?
As a result, because Link revealed that Claudia was the culprit in the fall of Longyan Fort at the Hall of Mirrors, the prestige of the Colk royal family who took her in plummeted, coupled with Hohenheim's statement, more nobles fell into the ground, and the regent became a complete joke. Even the nobles of = Xindu don't take Colk seriously. In order to prove her innocence, Farney can only turn to the children of nature who have forced her into such a situation.
If Link accepts the list, it means that he believes that Colk is not involved in the Night Elf conspiracy. In this way, the nobility had no high-sounding excuse to drive Colk out of the new capital.
"It seems like it's just a gesture......" Link said in an almost muttered tone as he looked at Bridge, "can I take this matter, will it interfere in the internal affairs of mankind?"
Bridge's eyes rolled, but he didn't say anything. Even though it was just the two of them, Link's tone didn't really feel like he was talking to himself. Connected to the special nature of the Nature's children, Bridge chooses to wait patiently.
After a long time, Link finally reached out to Bridge, "Give me the list." β
The president of the Adventure Guild reached into his arms again and pulled out a smooth crystal. The energy contained in the crystal itself gives a layer of warm fluorescence.
You need to use high-energy crystal records, it seems that there are a lot of people...... Link took it, "How do you use it?"
Bridge coughed dryly, indicating that there was a law of cause and effect on it that Frankie himself had set down, and only Link himself could open it. As long as the divine power of the children of nature is infused, the list stored in the crystal can be read by memory.
What if it's a trap?] Doyle fears fraud.
Lorelei, who has always been cautious, doesn't think that Frannie's law of cause and effect can hurt Link, and this is just a means of protection to prevent the list from being leaked.
Divine power. The crystal's light skyrocketed, and a long list of nobles' names, fiefdoms, titles, and when and where they colluded with the undead poured into Link's mind.
After reading it, the crystal shattered into countless small fragments, which could never be restored.
Link didn't feel anything out of the ordinary, and asked Bridge to reply to Britney that he was just doing business and had no intentions for her or the royal family.
The meeting was over, and as soon as Link pushed open the door, he saw that the atmosphere between Doyle and Yoda and Beloc of the union was a little strange, and he knew that she must be unable to hold her breath, so he showed hostility and immediately beckoned her back.
When the figures of the two disappeared into the darkness of the night, Yoda and Belloc entered the union hall, and when they saw Bridge's solemn face, they asked what had happened?
"When it comes to confidentiality, I won't go into details. It was so dangerous just now, I almost collapsed. Bridge's fear wasn't that Link wouldn't agree, but that Link was unhappy that he had come to Britney as a lobbyist to guide Nature's children.
"President, the one he's holding in his hand isn't ......" Belloc recognized at a glance that Link was holding a living fire.
Bridges nodded, "You read that right, it's the Living Flame." β
"But......" Belloc continued. When he was young, he traveled with Princess Frannie's grandfather to Big 6, and he was tricked into the abyss by an evil mage on an adventure, and he escaped with nine deaths, and this living fire is a testimony to their friendship, and they each took one. Bridge's share had been given away many years ago, and what Link had taken with him was supposed to be passed down to future generations by Duke Cork.
Among the rare materials that humans can come into contact with, living fire is one of the more precious. Only Link, who is both a child of nature and a craftsman, can forge living fire into weapons.
As the master of the guild, Belloc knew for many years that Flaniy had planned to make a staff from the family's living fire, but because he could not find the whereabouts of the forging grandmaster Dante, and his mentor Bard himself was not proficient in enchantment, the matter was put on hold when she became an adult, and Frannie was busy dealing with nobles.
"Are things really that bad?" Belloc was referring to the situation of the royal family and Frannie, who left the new capital under the secret escort of Bridge after Claudia's affair was revealed, and did not know much about the changes in the situation.
"It couldn't have been worse, if it weren't for the fact that the fiefs of the other princes were far away from Xindu, and they were jealous of each other. I'm afraid that the Kolk family is like the imperial family, and it has become history. "Bridge left the new capital this time. In fact, he also has a kind of refuge mentality, and he doesn't want to be implicated.
"The Child of Nature will not be here for long. Knowing the president's thoughts, Belloc informed Bridge of what he knew but had not yet had time to tell.
"I know I don't have any intention of moving my headquarters to Woollet. Just wait for the situation to calm down and go back, by the way, how is it here?" Bridge asked about Vaolet, who had been on his way all these days to avoid being followed. I didn't dare to use the communication stone at all.
Yoda and Belloc told SΓΉ Bridge about the last few days, and when he heard that Link had accomplished the feat of building the temple and building the walls alone, Bridge was stunned.
He was neither a devout nor a clergyman, but he knew a little about building temples.
Other sects have to gather a group of high-level believers to build a temple, and Link actually completed this step alone...... The children of nature weren't so vigorous before.
On the other side, Link, who returned to the City Lord's Mansion, fell asleep without turning his head. He handed Doyle the fire and asked her how she felt.
"It feels like a stone...... It's too light......"
"That's all, nothing else?" Link was surprised, how could he feel like a liquid?
[That's because her elemental sense is not as good as yours, this thing is not an ore, it is an elemental creature itself.] Lorelei finally told the truth about the living fire, and it was an elemental creature of the abyss. But it's not a fire element, if you have to compare it with anything, it's like the breath of a demon dragon, it's similar to that pure energy body, with a certain amount of intelligence. Like most Abyss monsters, they are tyrannical and aggressive. Full of fighting desire and taking pleasure in destruction.
Dragon...... A hint of uneasiness flashed through Link's heart.
Doyle's father is the archdemon of the abyss, and it is clear from the words of the archpriest that it is not small, but she is determined not to reveal the identity of the demon. Not only to Doyle, but also to me, as a child of nature, refused to tell me, whether I could say it or ...... What else is the reason?
[Lorelei, what level of demon is the Abyss Demon Dragon?]
Hearing that it was related to him, Doyle held his breath and waited for an answer from the goddess's remnant.
[The Goddess of the Night is the mother of chaos, all dark creatures are born by her, and so is the magic dragon. Lorelei's words were missing the point, and Link felt as if she was deliberately avoiding the question.
Link doesn't plan to ask for the time being, and he can't even say it in his consciousness, which means he can't say it.
Doyle was discouraged, but she didn't want to be too obvious. It's not that she thinks about her biological father, but she is worried that her seal will have problems again. If there is any accident, it will affect Link.
[It's not that I won't sue you, but with your current strength, it's not enough to fight against the real Abyss Demon Dragon, which you should know if you have fought with Doyle, who is only half bloodlined. Lorelei asked Link to step up his training, not to spend his time on trivial matters that didn't make sense, and let the nobles solve their own problems.
Link certainly remembered the battle with Doyle after the seal was broken, and honestly, he had a lingering heart.
The several battles with Frost and Cold are all about strategy and wisdom, and there is no duel of strength.
Doyle's demonosaurization is the strongest opponent he has encountered since he crossed over to Edgar, and he is superior to Claire the Sage in all aspects of his elemental and physical body.
[You used the power of the wrong child of nature, of course you think you can't beat it.] For Link's emotion, Lorelei snorted.
[Wrong way?] Link didn't think anything was wrong.
[Don't you think that the consumption of divine power or magic power is too fast, and it is difficult to continue with a few spells?]
After she said this, Link couldn't find a reason to refute it, he really felt that the divine power was consumed too quickly. Take Wolan's battle as an example, a tornado, he felt that most of his magic power was consumed, and he couldn't go all out behind him, and almost died in the hands of the violent Doyle.
[You don't have to do this at all, the Wind Falcon is a magical creature, born with its own elements, and it can cause a cyclone by inciting its wings. And the large wind falcon can take advantage of this and easily create a storm vortex no less than a tornado. There's no need to waste so much magic to cast spells. If the body is overdrawn, use the magic technique of restoring physical energy to restore fΓΉ, relying on this basic attack alone, you can clear the low-level undead who have no IQ around the city, and use most of the divine power and magic power on the key characters who can influence the situation of the battle. γ
Link covered his face when he heard this, "Why didn't you remind me earlier?]
[For a stubborn person like you, it is useless not to see and experience it with your own eyes. And the situation was critical, and I couldn't distract you. Luo Relei continued to explain that in addition to the Wind Falcon, the Child of Nature with the Transformation Specialization can also turn into other creatures, and obtain the special abilities of the transformed creatures, which is the fighting style of the Child of Nature, but unfortunately it has been ignored by Link.
Transfiguration is a child of nature's specialty, as Link knew while still in the illusion. Compared to using spells, it hardly consumes much divine power.
He has always wanted to find another way, and if he uses the wrong method, of course he will feel that he is too weak.
For example, if you become a bear, you can have the strength and physical strength of a bear, and if you become a leopard, you will have the degree and agility of a leopard. Of course, it's not arbitrary, you can change whatever you want, you need the support of the power of the pillar. Like the Wind Pillar, it governs the wind, and the things that can transform are flying creatures and the wind element. The Pillars of Earth are the Beasts and Earth Elementals, and so on, with an additional transformation depending on the faction - Celestial or Abyssal Creatures.
