Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Arriving at the only entrance to the city, making sure that there was no one around, Link plunged headlong into the U-shaped door with a magical barrier, and after experiencing the strange darkness and squeezing feeling, he managed to get to the outside of the city, the forest was still there, but what was this number?
Compared to when I entered the city in a month, there were obviously many more people in the forest, and the atmosphere was very strange. Link walked through them and saw the apprentice who called Russell a mentor, how could he be here?
[It won't be long before the drawbacks of Lorelai's wild collection of believers will be revealed. Bray's words were still ringing in his ears, and as far as he could see, many of them were wearing apprentice robes, Link suddenly understood what 'evil' meant.
The prerequisite for the performance of divine magic is devout faith, and the gods hear the prayers of the believers and bestow divine powers, and the miracles are manifested, and the more the believers revere the gods, the more devout their faith becomes. The spiritual power of the creature itself is constantly circulating between the belief - the > gods - the > divine power - > the believers, once one of the links is broken, the consequences are that it cannot be recycled, Lorelei has encountered this situation, it should be said that all the second and third generations of gods are facing the same situation, in the case of not being able to obtain an endless supply of faith, they can only reduce the response to the believers, and if they do not get the blessings, the believers will abandon the gods.
Therefore, what is the good thing about becoming a god, calling for wind and rain in the material world, and running out of the crystal wall one by one......
Link shuttled back and forth among the new crowd, and it was not difficult to hear what had happened in the month from the conversations of these people, first a large number of scholars poured into Vaolet, and then6 successive apprentices lost their gods, and they were driven out of the city without mage qualifications, unwilling to lose their qualifications as nobles, and they all gathered in the forest outside the city. As time went on, more and more apprentices were kicked out. A terrible rumor began to circulate among these people that the goddess of magic had long been corrupted, and that she had frantically recruited followers in order to absorb the magic that would stop her from declining.
The apprentice was shaken from unbelief at first, and finally completely bewitched by this rumor that spread out of nowhere, and his awe and longing for the goddess had long since turned into a curse and an abomination. Curled up in the forest all day with nothing to do, curling from morning till night.
Link was amazed that this hatred was about to become so strong that it was visible. The black resentment that floated out of each apprentice's body gathered into a bundle and stretched towards the sky.
Isn't it possible that Hohenheim is up there......
Following the black resentment, Link ascended, and as seen by the pigeon's blood, there was a bustling city above the clouds. The numerous and intricate enchantments were colorful in the sunlight, and there was a huge semi-circular enchantment above the city, and for forty years, the city was no different from what Link had seen in the illusion.
Out of scruples about the enchantment, Link is just watching from afar. The barrier to defend against external attacks is still there, but the entire city is like a battle, and there are ruins everywhere. Black resentment pierces through the barrier and continues to pour into the city, and Link has an epiphany.
It turns out that these resentments that are about to materialize are ghostly, and I don't need to interfere at all, Bray can handle it himself.
was ready for a big battle with Hohenheim, but looking at this scene, he didn't even need to come forward. Bray can do it himself.
In that case, why did he pull me?
From the very beginning, it did not stop Lorelei from absorbing his own followers. He must have foreseen such a day, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the driving force behind it. Even if he took over the position of Lorelei's magic god, he would also need to spend a huge amount of divine power, so what good would it do him to do so?
Link always felt that Bray's purpose was not just to divert Lorelei's attention, but he couldn't pry anything out of the mouth of the cunning god. It's not that he's arrogant to think like this, it's that too many gods have taken the initiative to approach him to show goodwill. Powerful as death. I do not recruit twice, too. Along with the first generation of Dawn, it is also ...... I forgot not to mention this, why is it that only the morning and night have not assimilated with the planet?
Hohenheim suddenly struck a pillar of light, and several dazzling stars descended from above, realizing that it was Mage City that sent someone to the ground, Link hurriedly hurried back. Go through the U-shaped door. The pillar of light that reached the top of the library shook the whole city slightly, and people took to the streets to look up at the strange scene.
You can't be trying to summon Lorelei in the library area, right?
Link hurried to Elsie's house, passing by the city's only blacksmith shop, but was struck by the noise coming from below. The clerk who had recommended the beast skins to him was chased out into the streets, and some of them were driven out of the blacksmith's shop. On the other side of the street, Elsie had arrived with his men, who, under very special circumstances, were the security keepers of the city, not the mercenaries who collected money and eliminated disasters.
Seeing this, Link lowered his height and eavesdropped on the clerk's conversation with Elsie
"What's going on?"
Elsie first received information that there was a mess in the weapons store, and on the way there, the library area activated the portal again, but this time why was the movement so big? He couldn't help but think of the mysterious person who was temporarily living at home.
"The slaves rioted. The clerk did his best to exaggerate the dwarves and claim that they had taken over the blacksmith's shop.
"What about the collar?" Elsie knew that in order to control the dwarves who were born warriors, the mages had created a special magic prop that could sense killing intent and hostility, and once the collar was raised, it would be tightened, strangled around the neck, and if the thought was not stopped, he would be strangled to death. This will make the most of the dwarves' innate monster power and ensure that they don't join forces to riot.
"Somehow, the collar didn't work. "The clerk wants to cry without tears, because there is no need to worry about the slave riots, the blacksmith shop is usually not equipped with too many people, and they can't stop the dwarf riots at all, and they will be beaten out in three or two clicks.
Not only did he find it tricky, but even Elsie, who occasionally played the role of sheriff, had a big headache.
Dwarves are all natural warriors, even women are no exception, they are infinitely powerful, and they can be said to be good hands with one top three, and the little people he has at hand may not be able to withstand the attacks of riot dwarves. It's time to choose......
Pinching his eyebrows, Elsie asked one of his men to go back to his house to find Orlando, the bard was well-connected and should be able to speak.
Seeing that there would be no conflict for a while, Link flew to Elsie's house, and not only Finn and Orlando, but even Dodd, the assassin he hadn't seen for a long time, stood on the street, staring at the pillar of light that made the whole city shake.
Seeing that everyone's attention was attracted by the pillar of light in the sky, Link appeared and called Orlando in his name.
"I thought you had caused the battle. Seeing Link, the half-elf was visibly relieved, but Link's next words made him raise his heart to his throat.
"Pack your bags and find a way out of Waolet. ”
Finn, who heard their conversation, leaned over, "What's that light?"
"I can't explain it in a few words, I have to find a way to evacuate all the people in the city, I am afraid that Hohenheim will activate the magic cannon, and with a single blow, the city can be reduced to ashes. ”
The three people in the courtyard said in unison: "Magic cannon?"
Link glanced at Dodd, worthy of an assassin, he had no idea when this guy had come in.
"Please, you have time here for me to discuss what that is, hurry up and evacuate the crowd. ”
"No one can leave Vaolet without breaking the barrier. Orlando replied in a deep voice, "And the enchantment is in the hands of the ** master Andrew." ”
"Shhhhh
"Let's go inside!" Elsie gave Orlando a look, and the half-elf immediately took Finn to hide in the basement, and as soon as Dodd lurked in the shadows in the corner, the hidden courtyard door was pushed open. With a solemn face, Elsie walked in with the ** master Andrew and the city lord Servis, behind them were six mages in red robes, and then the heavily armed centurion of the Guards and dozens of his subordinates, which surrounded the entire street tightly.
Link's gaze crossed over Andrew and landed on the red-robed mage's cuffs, gold and silver.
Counting Andrew, there are only seven ** masters, Link estimates his chances of winning, as long as he is not a sage, he should still be able to deal with it, and there is a divine punishment, he doesn't believe that these mages dare to fight hard with their lives. Putting aside the two sages of Bard and Claire, Hohenheim should still have a legendary-level mage, but he only sent a ** master-level, is it because he is busy with internal strife and there is no one to send? Or is there another reason?
"Your Excellency. The first to speak was Servis, the lord of the city, who gave a standard aristocratic salute to Link as he spoke: "Hohenheim sent someone to pick you up." ”
The mercenary leader glanced at Link with strange eyes, he had dealt with Servis for several years, and he had never seen this poisonous snake so respectful to anyone, and Andrew, one of the two major forces in the city, only kept his words polite. What surprised him even more was that all the ** masters, including Andrew, put their hands on their chests and bowed slightly, which was the highest standard of formal salute that a mage could give.
"The goddess is waiting for you. "Andrew, on behalf of the mage, conveyed Lorelei's wishes like Link.
Goddess, goddess of magic?What the hell is this guy going to summon even the goddess? Elsie's eyes are about to drop to the ground, and as surprised is Dodd lurking in the shadows.
"I'd like to stay down there for a while. ”
Before Andrew could speak this time, the old man standing at the front of the red-robed mage preemptively said, "You've been down there long enough. ”
"It's not enough, Bray and Lorelei haven't decided yet. Link's words finally made the ** teachers change color. (To be continued!)
