"So the old man is Talos, the god of storms?" Rex asked. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
"Ah, that's right. Victor replied coldly, "Did you meet him at the Temple of the Stone Shrine of the Sleeping God?"
"Yes, oh no. We met the old man in a wooden house not far from the temple. But we didn't know where he came from until you said his name, and you already knew what happened to him, didn't you?" asked Rex.
Victor laughed, "That's right, I've heard about dark magic invading the guardians and temples of Talos for a long time. What's your name, young elf. What did he mean by inviting you two to come to me?"
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I was so rude. Rex said humbly, "My name is Septin Rex, and he's my partner named Babas." Rex finished and pointed to the black wolf who was crawling on the ground licking his hair.
Then, after a pause, he continued, "Talos needs your help, a purifying potion to save his guardian bear." ”
Victor's face was gloomy, and he said displeasedly, "Ah, that's all it takes, sorry my friend, I can't help you, and he's not entitled to the potion." You and your buddies can go back to their lives after drinking. ”
"Why, why isn't he qualified?" Rex asked, "As far as I know, you're the closest comrades-in-arms, and you've united humans against Deathwing, right?" Friends should help each other, why do you stand by when your comrades-in-arms are in trouble, why is that?"
"Listen, Rex. Victor exclaimed angrily, "I'm a demon god, and I don't need you as a mortal to teach me how to treat my friends." I know how to help a friend or someone, anyway, it's none of your business, leave quickly after drinking, the Temple of Oak Hearts is not a hotel for mortals. ”
The white tiger Ulam cooperated with his master's mood, and immediately showed a fierce face, his eyes were upside down, his brows were furrowed, his nose was shrunk and his mouth was bared, and a threatening roar came out of his throat. At the same time, the hind legs are bent and ready to tear up.
When Victor, the god of the arcane, refused Rex's request for Talos, he was incredulous and puzzled. They had fought and worked together as allies, and if not close friends, they were not enemies.
Judging from Victor's attitude towards Talos, the relationship between the two of them is not good. Otherwise, the god of storms would not have asked a stranger to come to Victor for help.
Now, in order to get the Dragon Roar Rune, he must solve the threat of the demon bear, which is the sore point of the God of Storms and his own mission. It was important to convince the demon god to get his help. Therefore, he was determined to find out the cause of the enmity between the two demon gods, and to know what had happened that caused their relationship to become so bad.
Victor was about to leave the laboratory, he walked to the door and suddenly stopped, and said lazily, "You will live here today, and tomorrow you will leave on your own initiative and go back to your place." As for Talos's request, I advise you to die, and I will not agree. ”
Rex was just about to speak. Victor interrupted him, "Your mission is accomplished, good night, young man, and I wish you a good night." He walked out the door with White Tiger, leaving Rex and Babas there.
The next day, after breakfast, Victor came to the alchemy laboratory to begin his research on potions. At this point, Rex and Barbas reappear beside him. The Arcane God was very upset, and he was disgusted with Rex's self-imposed stay. There was a fire of arrogance burning in both eyes, a condescending, contemptuous gaze that made those who saw his eyes shudder.
Rex was afraid, but reason gave him courage. He couldn't back down, and if he wanted to get the sigil rune, he had to face the odds.
Viktor became enraged and held up his staff to recite a spell. Rex suddenly felt an invisible hand catch his neck, and his throat was almost crushed. The whole person was lifted up and hung in the air, he was like a dying rabbit, his heart trembling, struggling.
At the same time, Babas was also caught by the white tiger and pressed under him, biting him by the neck and unable to move.
"I am a demon god, and my words are commands. Victor said angrily, "I'm not going to negotiate with you, and you're not qualified to do that." Damn it, why disobey my orders and not leave the temple. ”
Rex felt breathless, and his brain went blank as if the power had been lost. His throat ached sharply, and he gripped the invisible hand of life and tried to resist it, trying to break free from its grasp. It took a long time to squeeze out three words, "Please!"
Suddenly, Victor returned to normal, and his eyes became calm. He let go of the hand that held someone else's life in his hands, and laughed as if nothing had happened. Rex fell to the ground, coughing weakly. Victor sat down and said to the White Tiger, "Enough, let go of that poor fellow." ”
The White Tiger obeyed his master's orders and jumped off Babas. Victor stared at Rex like a monkey in a theater. "Why, you are so obsessed with Talos's request. I guess it's not just about being enthusiastic. Tell me what your purpose is!"
Rex turned over and slowly stood up, and said loudly, "The demon god is the demon god, you guessed it." Helping the God of Storms wasn't the only purpose of my trip, and because I needed the Dragon's Roar Rune, but the demon bear was guarding the temple, and I couldn't get it. The only way to do this is to get it back to normal. ”
Victor was a little surprised, and asked curiously, "Dragonroar, are you Graybeard's student?"
Rex nodded. "In order to get the sigil rune, Babas and I came to the Temple of the Stone Mound of the Sleeping God. Unexpectedly, we were attacked by a demon bear, and we were forced to escape and meet the old man again, and he commissioned us to come here. However, I don't understand why you are reluctant to help him now, when you were once comrades-in-arms?"
Victor looked intently into Rex's eyes, trying to read more information from them. However, after observing for a long time, he was disappointed, because there was no intention in those eyes except doubt. He sighed, got up from his chair, walked over to the alchemy table and thought for a moment before turning to Rex.
"Do you want to know why I'm reluctant to help Talos?"
"Yes. Rex replied.
"Good, that's going to be a long, long story. ”
"I want to hear about it. Don't worry, I have time to listen to it whenever you're willing to share it with me. ”
Victor smiled, "Well, since there is an audience, we can't let him down. Let me tell you the story of the relationship between Talos, the god of storms, and me and my brother Vikven. ”
In the Third Age, around 396. Deathwing leads the dragon legion into the sky, slaughtering humanity and destroying villages and castles. The former Great Power was devastated and almost destroyed. The soldiers and heroes who rose up to resist were sacrificed on the battlefield, and the survival of mankind was greatly threatened. In order to protect the survival and continuation of mankind, the demon gods who are revered and worshiped by mortals unite to form the Demon God Alliance, and work with mortal heroes to resist Deathwing and the Demon Dragon Army.
Soon, a protracted standoff between the two sides began at Cato Castle, north of the top of the world. The Dragons have taken over Cato City, and if we want to reach the top of the world and fight Alduin, we must first capture Cato Castle. That's the only way to the highest peak.
The battle horn sounded, and the Demon God Alliance warriors, led by Magsta, the god of war, entered the battlefield. At the sound of the horn, the demon gods used their swords and spells to defeat the dragon guards guarding the mountain path first. In the first engagement, we were victorious, but before we could cheer, the second group of dragons had already fallen from the rolling clouds, and they flew in a long line towards the Confederates outside the city like dragonflies on the lake before the rain.
The enemies are too numerous to count, and they spew fire as they fly. The sky was burned red, and it rained fire. Although the sun goddess Azula summoned an ice storm to block out most of the rain of fire, there was still a missed rain of fire that fell, burning down the camp of the human warriors and burning the eagle summoned by Mora, the god of the hunt.
Talos summoned thunderbolts to shoot down some of the dragons, but there were many more of them, and many more flew over their heads before landing in the castle, biting and devouring the warriors who climbed the walls.
Magsta realizes that the first thing to do in order to take Cato Castle is to destroy all the demons entrenched in the castle, and only by breaking through the dragon's defenses can they safely reach the top of the world and fight the deathwing duel. So, he ordered everyone to concentrate their forces on attacking the dragon guards who were parked on the city walls.
The Demon Gods use their mastery skills, Talos uses lightning and lightning, Klaas Lily and Azura summon an ice storm, Bella and Victor use healing, Olaf flies in mid-air to fight them, spewing flames at each other, Mora continues to summon eagles, Quinn the sea serpent spews sea water to extinguish the blazing flames, and Captain Magsta uses his sword to teach an arrogant dragon a lesson.
Victor's younger brother, Vikven, who led the human warriors to climb the city walls, shouted loudly. Cooperate with the demon god to kill one vicious demon dragon after another. Of course, mortal warriors are also constantly sacrificed. Fierce and fierce, Vikven soon climbed the walls and engaged in a fierce battle with one of the dragon guards.
The demon stared at the boiling glassy eyes, and the corners of his mouth were bloody. Blood stained the floor beneath his feet. Wickven swung his greatsword and slashed at the dragon's head, which also blocked the greatsword's slash with its fangs. They fought back and forth fiercely, with Vikven cutting off several of the dragon's teeth, and the dragon biting his armor to pieces.
The battle went on minute by minute, blood cascading down the staircase of the wall, flowing like a stream at first, slowly turning into a scarlet rapids pouring down the steep staircase. The blood of the dragon and the blood of humans mixed together and stained the earth red.
It is here that the valiant warriors complete the last leg of their lives, dedicating their precious lives to this holy war that will affect the fate of mankind.
At this time, the warrior group led by Vikven encountered a crisis, and three demon dragons besieged them in the middle of the city wall, and then sprayed flames at them with the intention of burning them. When Victor finds out that his brother is in danger, he hurriedly asks Talos to use lightning to attack the dragon to attract firepower and alleviate their crisis.
And Talos was dealing with another fire dragon and didn't have time to help Vikven. By the time Talos had defeated the dragon, tragedy had already occurred, and Vikven and the remaining human warriors were burned in flames and reduced to ashes.
Victor felt guilty about his brother's death, and he resented Talos even more for not intervening to save him. Since then, the relationship between the two has changed from friends to enemies who hate each other. For a long time, they could no longer forgive each other, and neither apologized to anyone.
