CHAPTER 6 CHAPTER 62
"That's just a trick to trick you into retrieving my lost dragon's blood. Don't always think in a self-righteous way, little one, it is self-righteous to measure the creatures lower than you by your morality, and to measure the creatures that are higher than you is stupid. Would you care if a rat thought you were mean and didn't meet its standards of reasoning?" Morrill touched his chin and made a thoughtful expression. "And in a sense, you deserve to die. And it's not that I think you deserve to die, it's that Archibald thinks you deserve to die. ”
"What?" Audibly, Morrill heard him clearly, but he felt just more confused.
"Do you know what this Archibald seal is, and do you think that with his human strength, he can easily deal with me?" Morriel pointed to the black gem in the center of the magic circle. "It was he who activated the soul power in the Dark Star at the cost of half of his mana and half the lifespan of his elven lover, and only then did he create a seal that even I couldn't break. ”
"Only the Guardian of the Dark Will with the imprint of the Dark Star in his body like Archibald's eyes, and then he has practiced Archibald's meditation, then all of his essence blood can release some of the power of this seal. Morrill pointed to the icy opening at the top of the cavern. "That passage was specially arranged by Archibald. He told me that the person who came down from this passage was the necromancer who had practiced his meditation technique. Archibald left the road. It is for me to kill those who come down this road. ”
"You've fully practiced his meditation technique, and even if you take the brand, you'll only merge with the dark will within. Morriel sighed regretfully, and looked at Asa with pity. "You actually have the same vitality as the World Tree Leaf in your body like Archibald, and it's just the best key to open the seal, but it's a pity...... The details on your key are completely upside down......"
"I was going to cut off your head, but I still have a good opinion of you. That's why I only cut your wrist, and then I found that your blood didn't have the effect of breaking the seal at all...... You're in luck. ”
Asa stood stunned, fluted. Then he sat down with a slam on his ass.
"So, could you tell me what the hell is going on. Asa looked at Moriel, and there was no more anger, fear, confusion, and so on in his eyes. "As long as you tell me and make me understand, I'll do whatever you want. ”
"Hey, funny little one. Morriel looked at Asa with an interested look in her eyes, and she thought about it for a moment and nodded. "Good. Since you're useless to me. Then I really want to consider giving you some rewards, and I can tell you something. But before you have to tell me something, too. It's been years since a human has spoken to me. ”
"What do you want to know?" asked Asa.
"Central Mountains...... No, in your words, it should be in the high ground near the Sandface Mountains, and a large tribe of orcs must have been established. ”
Asa was stunned. Nodding: "You're talking about Oufu? But it's not a tribe, it's already a big city. ”
"Orfu?" Morriel sneered coldly, and a strong yellow smell rushed out of her mouth. "It's just that the beast slaves who have gathered the blood of the giants have actually borrowed the name of the giant's territory. The reptiles called Cedros are arrogant.
"Do you know Lord Sedroth?" Asa was stunned.
"Kind of a knowledgeable guy, knows a lot of things, and spoke to me more than ten years ago. But the reptile had better beg for now not to let me see him again. Morriel paused, seemed to think for a moment, and then continued. "He should have a companion, a half-elf, with black eyes, probably strong from a human point of view, do you know?"
"Recognized, and familiar. Asa nodded.
"Moriel isn't dead......," Cedros frowned, his fingers tapping on the tabletop, the fine black sandalwood desk making a monotonous fluttering sound. This is the finest wood from the depths of the Scorpion Swamp, which is used to make jewelry elsewhere on the continent and is more expensive than gold.
High Priest Tima stood at the table, his huge body like a hill in front of Cedrus.
"What about Lancelot, the Templars. Cedros asked.
"Escaped. ”
"How is it possible, the scroll I gave you ......" Cedros looked shocked.
"The scroll should have been fully used, and the Marquez Sacrifice I sent out didn't have too much strength. But there is no problem with strain and resourcefulness. But I don't know why, they all ran away in the end. And one of the Templars even got in the way of our attack on the Black Elves, using a forbidden scroll. ”
"Is it Paradise in Purgatory?That scroll can almost be regarded as a treasure of the Castle of Radiance, I can't imagine that Magnus would be willing to ......" Se and Los looked a little strange. He naturally knew that the church had this powerful magic scroll in his hands, and it was also one of the biggest scruples he had always had about the church in his heart. Now that the scroll had been used by Negan, it was reasonable for him to breathe a sigh of relief, but he knew that since the Pope was willing to use it, there must be a reason why he could use it.
"At that time, we were in the midst of a fierce battle with the army of dark elves, and tens of thousands of people were wiped out under the forbidden curse. The elite troops of our clan have almost been lost, not only that, but there is also a ** worm that has infiltrated our rear porcelain to slaughter women and children and cubs, and also destroyed the Horned Demon Temple......" High Priest Tima was silent for a moment and closed his eyes, as if he was brewing or hesitating. Then he opened his eyes, sighed, and said. "I'm here for a favor......
And Cedros didn't hesitate at all, and replied very simply: "No problem, my friend." If you have any requirements, just ask. ”
"At this point, Morriel will never spare my people and the Harpy. Harpy Chief Basiler and I have escaped from Negan and have come to the ground. But we didn't have a place to go......"
"No problem, my friend. Cedros still did not hesitate at all, this old man who was as capable as a young man was now as crisp and righteous as a hot-blooded and high-spirited young man. "Oufu now has enough resources and land to accommodate friends of any race. And our system is loose and free enough, and there is absolutely no xenophobic beliefs and concepts like the church kingdom, since we are all ogres, werewolves, and half-orcs here, how can we care about the minotaur and the harpy?"
High Priest Tima seemed to have completely failed to expect Cedros to be so straightforward, and was stunned, so he bent down and saluted the old man in front of him, and said in a voice full of gratitude: "With the Horned Demon above, your friendship will definitely win the respect and gratitude of all the Minotaurs, in our eyes, even all of humanity."
It's not as good as you. ”
"You're welcome, my friend. For our many years of friendship, this is just a gesture. Cedros smiled.
"But......" High Priest Tima hesitated, lowered his voice, and continued. "That'...... That man...... Moriel's adopted son... Gru... What?"
The High Priest's voice was lowered to the bottom of his voice, and his thick voice was actually in a whisper-like tone. There was no one else in the huge city lord's office, it was not that he deliberately lowered his voice, but when he said that this person thought of this person, he had a natural retort from his heart, as if he was afraid of touching something dangerous.
Cedros looked at the ceiling, thought for a moment and replied with a smile: "It shouldn't matter, everything Ni wants has nothing to do with him for a long time." ”
"That's... So where is he now?, do you need to inform him first?" asked the high priest with a somewhat relieved sigh of relief.
"He's not in Orfo, he's been in the Sandface Mountains for a while. ”
"Mulberry and Fez ......Mountains?
"Actually, if it weren't for the fact that your time was too tight, if you could have delayed it for a while, this operation would never have failed. Cedros sighed suddenly.
"Why?"
"Because there's enough time, I can give you not just a gravitational field and a fiery bomb, but ten. Although Cedros's tone was very flat, there was also disappointment and regret that could not be concealed. "Calculated and tactics are art and my favorite method, but I have to admit that sometimes brutal bombardment is the real way to do it. ”
High Priest Tima didn't speak, but just opened his mouth wide to look at Cedros in front of Feng.
He had been taken aback when he had taken the scrolls from Cedros, who had quietly come to visit, not long ago. Whether it was the Flame Bomb, the Thunder Bomb, or the Elemental Summon, they were all the pinnacle scrolls that ordinary magicians regarded as treasures, not to mention the space locks and gravity fields that he had never even seen, they were all priceless treasures.
