Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
The young man's warm smile flew away like quicksand, and the scene changed into a dim space, with no light except for the candle in his hand. In the harsh winter, his eyes were lowered, like a sculpture, without sorrow or joy, and he didn't know what he was thinking. A sneaky figure approached, and Link, who had a deliberately lowered voice, recognized it as Eric, and even though he wore a hood to cover his face, he wouldn't miss it. It's just that unlike his previous strength against the Golden Rose, he speaks respectfully at this moment.
"What are you calling me out for at this time......" he said, turning his head as if there was something behind him.
Bitter Winter finally moved, he raised his head and looked at the man who was slightly taller than himself, "Rhodes has spent too much time pursuing women, haven't you, as the assassin second only to him, thought of replacing them?"
Eric was stunned for a moment, he pulled down his hood suddenly, and looked at the teenager opposite with a shocked expression, as if he was seeing him for the first time. After a long time, he said in a slightly trembling voice, "Even if he loses his favor, with my skills, ......"
Yan Dong smiled slightly and said an incomprehensible tongue twister: "She likes him, but he likes her, and she only likes him." ”
Eric's face changed again and again, and finally nodded in understanding.
"I've already arranged a qiē, all you have to do is be patient and wait for the perfect moment. ”
With the flickering candle flame in his eyes, Eric nodded again.
There is not much dialogue between the two, but it contains deep meaning. Link was still thinking about what it meant when the candle flame burst out, dispelling the darkness and turning the scene into an underground base for the Thorn of Shadows. In the treasure chamber, Eric's eyes were thick with dark circles that made him look thinner, and he laughed in the firelight as screams rang out and near.
"I expected you to kill people, and I prepared for it. Sooner or later, your conspiracy will be revealed, and then you will be the ...... you have annihilated."
The Night Elf who broke through the door didn't let him finish his sentence, ending Eric's life with a perfect backstab. By the light of the fire coming through the door, Link saw the face of the murderer, Artis, who had taken the only trophy from the fallen corpse, Malik's relic, the Lucky Gold Coins.
The gods were over, but Link was silent for a long time. Hull, who was waiting anxiously, asked again what he saw.
"It's a bit informative, you make me think about it......" Link fell silent again.
Frosty ...... No, Bitter Winter instigated Eric to take his place, which means that Suven was the leader of the Thorn of Shadows when they conspired.
From Yan Dong's words and Eric's frightened demeanor, Link deduced that Su Wen spent all his energy chasing women, ignoring his main quest, making Malik unhappy and losing his favor. As a follower of Malik, Eric knew that this was not surprising, but it was strange that it was actually broken by the harsh winter of his life as a priest of Dawn, and suggested that he get rid of Suwen and replace him.
Dawn is a god of order and goodness, and the priests under his command have only one possibility of being malicious and unaware - the power of the conspiracy enchantment, the god of shadows. And Malik and the Grim Reaper are very iron allies, can I understand that at this time, the Grim Reaper has already come into contact with the harsh winter?
Although Link still doesn't know what method the harsh winter uses to make Su Wen willingly cut the number and practice again, it must be inseparable from the woman. The best evidence of this is the puzzling 'she likes him, but he likes her, and she only likes him', which is supposed to refer to the polyamorous relationship between Golden Rose, Suvan, Lena and Thunder.
Since Eric had known Severe Winter before, and knew that the few people who knew that it was Frost and Cold, he must have known that Severe Winter was a master of the law of cause and effect, why did Eric say 'ready for a long time' when he was dying? There is no absolute secret in front of prophecy, not to mention that his belief is Malik, and it is impossible for him to hide the secret.
"Hey ......"
Seeing that Hull's patience was reaching its limit, Link hurriedly said everything he saw. Soon, Birdman came to a conclusion that surprised him.
He said that he had already prepared, and he should have meant the morning light. ”
"Why?"
"Prophecy is not omnipotent, and nothing related to the gods can be obtained directly. As the god of conspiracy, and in charge of the secret job, he wants to hide from Malik, and only a few second-generation gods and first-generation gods can do it in terms of divine power. Didn't the priest of Dawn be present before Golden Rose died? I think that's what Eric was preparing, and the letter you got is not in the Scriptures. ”
Hull's words cleared the clouds for Link. Malik can hide from the gods by virtue of his priesthood, and the gods who are stronger than him can use the same means against him.
"It's all useless information. With a rare deflated expression, Link shook his head: "No...... Very useful. You think about Eric's dying words. ”
Hull thought about it and didn't think anything was wrong.
Lin Keqiang held back his excitement and joy and gave the birdman a hint: "Lich Frost is a master of the law of cause and effect, and you still sue me for this." ”
"What do you mean...... Eric used the Law of Cause and Effect on Frost?" Hel didn't think it was possible, the Law of Cause and Effect was a power that only the practitioner possessed, like sorcery.
"No, Hull, you should be more open-minded. Eric's last words were not simply curses and catharsis, but to tell someone like me who had the power of prophecy that Frost had hidden his life box with the law of cause and effect. ”
Hull, who still didn't understand, waved his hand in a hurry, telling Link not to go around in circles and get to the point.
"Let's put it this way, Severe Winter has designed a series of conspiracy to frame Rhodes, Lena, and Thunder and make them bear the infamy of traitors, not only out of some kind of distorted revenge, but more importantly, with a false story to cover up the truth. Whether it's Hohenheim or Fort Dragonrock, it's a shameless thing to have a traitor, right, they all made Thunder and Lena taboo without exception, and they were not allowed to discuss their names anymore and seal their belongings, which invisibly didn't help Frost and Cold, and someone didn't even have to help it eliminate the possibility of unlocking the truth without having to do it himself. ”
Hull nodded thoughtfully, he kind of understood what Link was trying to say.
"Sooner or later, your plot will be revealed, and then, when you will be annihilated. Link repeated Eric's last words word for word, adding the word 'when' without permission. Although he didn't finish speaking, the meaning must not be far behind, "This is the law of cause and effect, the law of cause and effect constructed by the whole conspiracy in the harsh winter." As long as its plot isn't revealed, its lifebox won't be found, you know what I mean?"
"I see! With Malik's conspiracy enchantment as a guarantee, as long as the truth is not revealed, Frost's life box will not be revealed, no wonder we can't find it. I didn't expect it to be like this...... Thank you so much. Hull hugged Link excitedly, and it was the first time he had made a gaffe. Likewise, Link is uncomfortable with the birdman's way of grateful.
"In order not to arouse suspicion, its lifebox must be something that no one can think of. Heirloom jewelry that will not be damaged lightly, or large objects that will not be lightly moved, such as houses, statues, etc., ......"
Hull couldn't wait to speculate on Frost's fatebox, but Link denied Hull's reasoning one by one: "Since Frost has painstakingly hidden it with the law of cause and effect, then its fatebox can only be the bones buried in Denise's Great Temple." ”
The Lich usually uses his original body to transform, why does Harsh Winter use Lena's body? Burying his bones in the Great Sanctuary is not just a trap, according to the theory of 'the conspiracy is not broken, the fate box is not revealed', even if someone deduces that it is the mastermind behind the scenes, and risked breaking into the Great Sanctuary, it will not be possible to prove that the corpses in the Great Sanctuary are undead.
Hull accepted Link's point of view, saying that Link had to take the time to practice before Hohenheim could reply.
"Uh......" Link suddenly felt like he was shooting himself in the foot.
Oh no, I hate training.
In the next half month, he completely experienced Hull's so-called hurry. Training day and night, all the druids went into battle, simulating how to deal with a large number of enemies, and taking turns to restore his physical strength. At Link's strong request, it was time to go back to reality to eat and take a shower.
In terms of spell slots, Link continues to choose Gacos' support skills
[Defeat the enemy], can perceive the enemy's attack direction or method, and requires the cooperation of divine revelation.
[Swift Wind II], if I is 5% degrees, then II is 1o%.
In order to enter the Great Sanctuary, he also specially pointed out the two necessary skills of [Stealth] and [Insight through Stealth].
Isol, first strengthened the Earth Shaking Technique, the range was increased to 50 meters, and the skill name was changed to [Shockwave].
[Falling Stone] is also a range skill, and unlike Shockwave, this skill can choose the location of its cast.
[Earth Shield], which uplifts the earth element from the ground, can protect companions or buildings in addition to itself, which is considered a group defensive skill.
[Medusa's Pupil], an upgraded version of petrification, can attach petrification abilities to normal physical attacks and elements, which is also inspired by the paralyzing toxin attached to Hull's wind blade.
The last spell slot Link chose the aura [Hope], which was the earliest group buff he could use. As long as it is enabled, companions within range will not develop negative feelings of despair, which can effectively combat spell effects such as demoralization and demoralization.
When all the skills are done, Link uses the avatar again, and he can clearly feel that the size of the white deer has become larger, and so is the peregrine falcon, but it is not as obvious as the white deer. With this, it was confirmed that the size of the avatar was indeed related to strength, and Link thought that when he reached level 5O, it was estimated that the size of the peregrine falcon would be as large as Hull's avatar.
It was said that the plan could not keep up with the changes, and on the sixteenth day, Hohenheim replied, and the great sage Bray indicated that he wanted to see Link.
"You seem to be uneasy?" This is too rare, even when he learns that Frost is calculating himself, the birdman's expression is not as worried as it is now.
Hull glared at Link fiercely, "You know what, Bray is different from the half-hung frost, and he is the one who has truly crossed the legend and entered the mortal sainthood. ”
Taller than the legend, isn't that ...... It seems a bit disrespectful to say that, Link didn't say it.
"Can you not go?"
"Go!" Hull replied categorically, "and that's a good thing to think about it from another point of view. Bray came forward, but Frost couldn't do anything to you. ”
As a result, Link changed his plans on the fly, going to Hohenheim first and then to the Great Church.
