Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
After listening to the reports of the surviving soldiers, Link hoped that the commander would not make up his mind so early, and was rejected in one fell swoop.
Paper can't contain the fire, it won't take long for the news of Gonzalez's rebellion to spread, and Alex doesn't want Fort Longyan to be accused of harboring traitors.
Link was about to say something, but Hull suddenly stood up, his eyes making it clear that he didn't want him to say more.
Alex thanked the Natural Alliance as the commander of Dragonrock Fort, and the official meeting was over.
"Gonzalez's transformation will definitely reveal that you are still alive, and immediately return to the Guardian with me, you can't stay outside any longer. β
Link was powerless to refute, and even if he believed that Gonzalez's betrayal was a matter of bitterness and an inside story, who would want to believe it?
"Don't forget that you deposited my stuff there, as well as that wind falcon. The old dwarf called out to Link, and Hull told him to wait outside and tell Link to go and get back quickly.
Following Dante to the wrought iron house, the Wind Falcon happily jumps onto Link's shoulder. It was wounded by Claudia and nearly died, and stayed with the dwarves to recuperate after delivering the letter to the Avengers.
Taking the space bag, Link took out the destiny treasure left by Thunder from his arms: "This is Thunder's thing, I met him in the Great Rift." I'm sorry I couldn't bring him back. β
Dante reached out and touched the yellow-brown horn, his eyes full of nostalgia.
"I've lost hope for a long time, I'm ...... It's just unwilling, that kid is so good, and he is the most promising person to inherit the legacy of Befast. β
The dwarf's choked words touched Link so much that he couldn't help but think of Gonzalez.
"Ney, you go and talk to Hel, I have some personal matters to deal with, and I will return to the Guardian Land later. β
The wind falcon chirped as it flew, telling SΓΉ Link Hull that his temper was not very good, and told him to wait, and be careful and be beaten again.
Link smiled bitterly, not just saying goodbye, he had something to ask Dent about.
After asking Dent to hang up the sign of closure and send the other dwarves away, and making sure that no one was eavesdropping, Link told SΓΉ Dent that Aidan was Frost. He said the same thing a few days ago, but he didn't expect his suspicions at that time to come true.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, Thunder did not betray, which has been confirmed by divine knowledge. Only by finding evidence can I clear his name, so you can wait. β
Dante said that he had waited for so many years and didn't care about waiting for a while. He asks Link what he plans to do next, Gonzalez knows Link's appearance, abilities, and even weaknesses, and once Frost has this information, it will be very disadvantageous to Link.
"The Mage Tower in the Misty Canyon has been destroyed, and I guess I can't find anything useful. "Originally, Link planned to wait for the main line of Longyan Fort to be completed, and then go to find out the truth about the frost and cold incident. Now that the plans are all out of order, Hohenheim and the Natural Alliance are not on the right track, the idea of sneaking in will definitely not work, and Lena's mage tower has been destroyed by Gonzalez, and all that remains is to go to Aidan's burial place, which is called the Great Sanctuary.
"You're going to the Great Church of Denis?" Dante's eyes widened, "No! No! This is the headquarters of the Dawn Sect, where more than 5,000 Dawn Knights are stationed all year round, and there are at least twenty priests at the bishop level, which is more dangerous than Hohenheim, and if they want to dig up Aidan's bones right under their noses, even if all the existing children of nature go out together. β
Link: "......"
It's so, no wonder Aidan chose the burial site in the Great Holy Hall. With Malik's conspiracy enchantment, the Dawn Cult wouldn't have a lich's lifebox at their headquarters.
Thinking about it this way, Link felt that something was not quite right.
Frost Han tried his best to hide his identity, so he shouldn't have exposed his life box to someone who could find out his identity. Perhaps it deliberately placed the bones in the Great Sanctuary so that those who doubted its identity would have the illusion that it was its life box. Using the Dawn Sect to deal with those who want to move its bones, from beginning to end, it can eliminate the enemy without moving a finger, this is its style.
Since the corpse of the Great Sanctuary is a trap, what would be Frost's true life box? It should be something that will not be damaged lightly, everyone is accustomed to it, and absolutely no one can imagine it.
"How much do you know about Aidan?" Link didn't have much hope, decades had passed since the time of the illusion, and everything that could be found had been destroyed, Frost was ruthless, maybe he knew that his players or NPCs had been poisoned by it, and Dante was safe, most of the time he didn't know much.
The old dwarf shook his head repeatedly: "I haven't seen me, but I've heard Thunder talk about it occasionally." β
Really...... If there is direct contact between them, they can also be checked with Divine Sense, and no connection will only waste spell slots.
Link can more or less understand the depression of the Natural Alliance for so many years without being able to take the frost. Prophecy didn't work, and all the information found pointed to another person. As long as the life box is there, the Lich is almost immortal, otherwise it may not be Hull's opponent in terms of combat power alone.
"I warn you, don't try to dig up Aidan's body. Not only is it in danger, but it will also disintegrate the fragile alliance that the Natural Alliance and the Dawn Cult have just forged. Don't forget that you are no longer human, but a messenger representing the gods of nature. β
Dante's words were given to Lin Keqi. Yes, the Alliance of Nature has formed an alliance with the Dawn Sect, and as a Child of Nature, I am eligible to enter the Great Sanctuary. If I don't dig up the corpse, I can't find something else, I don't believe that Frost Cold can erase all traces of his past, NPCs and players will always remember him, as long as they find someone who knows him, Divine Knowledge can come in handy.
Looking at Link's expression, Dante knew that his advice had no effect, and when he returned Thunder's Destiny Treasure to Link, he grabbed his hand, and the force was so great that Link subconsciously wanted to break free.
"What are you doing?"
"Don't move!"
Just as Link was confused, a wave of heat passed through the palms of the clasped hands.
After a few seconds, Dent looked up and saw that Link's eyes were a little subtle.
"You've been recognized by Kaogo. β
"Uh......" How did he know, Link couldn't hide his surprise, just a handshake to know?
"The main belief of the dwarves is the god of war and the god of fire, and I just did a small test with the ability of soul forging. If it had been a few days ago, you would have been burned. But now you don't feel any discomfort, which means that you have been recognized by the fire god Kaogo, and the ordinary fire elemental can no longer harm you. β
Link thought to himself, according to this, the earth element and the wind element should also be the same, what is the elemental protection in the skill list for?
"Now that you have obtained the power of divine manifestation, you can master soul forging. β
"Didn't you say that you need a master-level forging professional to master this skill?" Link remembered Gonzalez introducing soul forging this way.
"Theoretically, yes. Dan nodded, "Soul forging is not difficult, it only has one requirement - the strength of the soul." Because it uses the power of the soul to go to the shape of the external object, it has extremely high requirements for the soul, and ordinary people definitely can't. It is much easier for the clergy, especially the children of nature, who have a higher than ordinary perception and God-given power, which are the conditions for achieving soul forging. The principle of the elven Ming to create strange things comes from the two elements of Kaogo's 'divine appearance' and Andrea's 'divine solid'. β
'Divine manifestation' is the manifestation of the power of God, and it also has another name: manifestation.
As soon as he said the word, Link understood it immediately.
When we first met, the dwarves said that "enlightenment, knowledge, solidity, and presentness" have already appeared, and what ability does the last "solid" represent?
"Solid is the attachment of divine power to an object, and mages call a similar ability soul enchantment. Only items that can be created with both solid and present abilities can be called truly strange things. Dante explained that the mystery of making strange things was completely revealed.
Link also remembered what the dwarves had said the last time they taught themselves to make a magic item, that the Children of Nature were limited by the reset of spell slots, and all auras and continuous spells would disappear when the sun rose. If you use the ability of 'solid', does it mean that you can permanently fix the divine power?
Dante picked up a square iron ingot with his iron tongs and asked Link to change its shape with [Divine Appearance].
Link, who hadn't seen the legacy since leveling up, wasn't sure if he had the ability to manifest, but Dante was sure that he focused all his attention on the iron ingot.
How to change? Is it still the old way, do you use what you think?
"Don't be bound by preconceived notions, you are an apostle of God, and you can do anything as long as the gods allow it. Using divine power to change the shape of an object is just a piece of cake. Dante's words reminded Link of Gonzalez's message, skills are dead, people are alive, and you have to be open-minded.
Anything can be done as long as the gods allow it. So......
Link imagined in his mind that the iron ingots would turn into strips and then twist into a rope.
An astonishing scene was taken, where the rectangular iron ingots were stretched and then twisted together, and the metal that should have been hard was twisted into a rope like dough.
Looking at the iron rope that had completely changed shape, Link reached out and touched it in disbelief, and the hard texture told him that he really did.
"That's right, this is soul forging, it couldn't be simpler, as long as the soul is strong enough, anyone can do it. β
Link didn't react at first, he repeated it in his mind a few times before he understood what Dante was trying to say, "You mean, there is no spell bit limit, you can use it as many times as you want?"
"Your comprehension really needs to be strengthened, soul forging is derived from the children of nature, yes, but not all creatures have the ability to manifest, they rely on the strength of the soul to make up for the divine power. You must also use spell bits to make zuΓ², after all, it is divine power, and the effect must be better. Throwing the rope into the furnace, Dent called out to Link as he was about to leave, and he pulled out a silver box from his arms, the size of a palm, with a faint blue reflection that was Mithril at a glance.
What kind of treasure should be filled with Mithril?Link was a little curious. After opening it, the contents made him stunned. The color of the dream cannot be replicated, and it can be determined by just looking at it, it is soul energy.
What do you mean by this, give it to me? He wants a soul as precious as the Destiny Spirit?!
"This is what Befast left behind, you can take it. As a child of nature, the compatibility with you should be higher. β
It was a lie to say that he was not moved, but Link didn't reach for it. He didn't know why Dante gave him something so precious. If there is no merit, the dwarves must have something to ask for.
"Originally, I wanted to leave it to the Thunder, but unfortunately he didn't need it. β
As soon as he said this, Link's guilt immediately surfaced, "I'm sorry, I ......"
"Don't say I'm sorry, from the moment he fell into demonization, he was no longer thunder, just a poor monster who had fallen into madness. I thank you for letting his ** rest in peace, but his soul is in the hands of Frost. Take this, defeat Frost, and free the souls of those who are controlled by it. β
Taking the soul energy from Dante's hand, Link carefully placed it in the space bag he carried with him. Like the Fairy of Destiny, it is so light that it barely weighs.
"Go, I'll wait for your good news. β
Flying away from Dragonrock Castle under Dante's expectant gaze, Link's heart was extremely heavy.
The first thing he had to do when he returned to the Guardian Land was to return to reality, and he sincerely hoped that Su Wu would be safe and sound.
