Chapter 9: The Frontier of War (1)
After Giant Thunder withdrew his party from the outskirts of the Blackwood Forest, he did not linger along the way, but returned directly to the town of Ballston. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
When Lady Grey saw Thunder, she hugged him happily and asked, "Did the witches catch them?"
Ju Lei said in annoyance: "Leave the witches alone, in order to catch them, I have been guarding the periphery of the Thieves' Guild day and night, and Zoro is already preparing to go to war under this pretext." ”
"Oh, the witches are fleeing north, what are you doing on the outskirts of the Blackwoods!" Lady Grey angrily pushed away the thunder.
"I know, but their ultimate goal is to go to the Thieves' Guild, which is why I split up with the Murak soldiers, with him tracking them behind and me blocking the witches' path. ”
"Mulak caught up with the witch and fought a fight. If you chase after him, will the witches escape?" said Lady Grey, huffing.
"What? Murak is a piece of rubbish! I gave him half of his troops, did I let the witches escape?"
"It is said that a very powerful white werewolf attacked his troops, and there were others who secretly helped the witches. Mulak did not know what the witch had bewitched, and after suffering defeat, he withdrew with his troops, and said that the witches had been framed, and begged me not to continue hunting witches, so that he could find out about it. ”
"Murak and Gu Shiyu entered the Thieves' Guild a few days ago, and when I asked him when I passed through the checkpoint, he said that he wanted to go in to find out about the witches. ”
"Alas, you have been fooled! Mulak lost the battle, killed and wounded dozens of soldiers, and even stopped carrying out his mission, withdrew his troops privately, and even more infuriatingly, he even helped the witches to speak! I sentenced him to death, and during the execution, the thieves of the deserted path came to rob the law field and rescued him in the chaos!"
“...... How could this be? Murak had attacked the bandit camp on the deserted trail, how could the thieves come to his rescue?"
Mrs. Grey said: "I suspect that Gu Shiyu and Youlande are secretly mischievous. ”
"The Crazy Knife of the thieves' camp and Yolande are cousins, but for the battle for the throne of the dwarf kingdom, the fathers of the two turned against each other and fought for several years, and finally the father of the Crazy Knife was defeated and died on the battlefield, and Yoland's father ascended to the throne. It stands to reason that Madknife will kill him as soon as he sees Yoland, how can he help him in turn?"
"It can't be the old guy meddling, right?"
Ju Lei nodded and said, "The mad knife is also a disciple of the old guy, he will definitely interfere." ”
Madame Grey gritted her teeth and said, "These bastards! ”
"Leave these things alone for now! A friend from the Thieves' Guild brought me a message saying that Sauron had reorganized his men into an army and was about to go to war at any time!"
"His bandits are lawless, will they listen to him?"
"Zoro is very smart, he told the story that the portal was sealed by the Hero Guild, and those bandits were very angry and clamored to settle accounts with the Hero Guild, and Zoro took the opportunity to gather them all. ”
"Ah...... Didn't he say that the town of Baulston was also involved?"
"No, now all the spearheads are directed at the Hero Guild. ”
"When the people of the Hero Guild know the news, they will definitely be in chaos, and many people will even betray that old guy. You have to find a way to pull these people over, in case Sauron attacks, we will put everything on the old guy and sacrifice him to Sauron. ”
"Alright, I'll go back to the guild and talk to them. Gu Shiyu and Yoland, don't move for the time being, they have dozens of heroes under their command, if Zoro fights, I will have to rely on these people to defend Baulston Town. ”
The Hero Guild is in shambles. Everyone was extremely angry after knowing the fact that the guild had covered up the truth and deceived the heroes of the world for thirty years. Some even took the lead in setting fires around the guild with fireball techniques and destroying public property with lightning techniques. The guild hall and auditorium were smashed to pieces, and everyone still didn't get rid of their hatred, and they began to storm the guild library again.
Dozens of instructors stood guard outside the library building, arm-in-arm to stop the mob. The crowd pressed up in waves, and the coaches were pushed back step by step.
The downstairs of the guild's office was also attacked by more than 100 people. Giant Sword, Giant Bow and the others were so anxious that they circled around the office and shouted, "Mentor, if you don't come forward to stop it, the guild will be destroyed!"
"Mentor, they're starting to storm the library!"
The mentor was furious and said, "It's too much! I can still tolerate the impact on the guild hall and auditorium, and if it is broken, it can be rebuilt after all." The collection in the library is the most valuable intellectual treasure in the world, do they want to destroy the civilization of the Lost Land for thousands of years?
Giant Sword, Giant Bow and others waited for this sentence for a long time, and before the words fell, the coaches had already rushed downstairs.
Dozens of coaches chased and arrested people all over the yard, and finally suppressed the riot of the heroes. Lacking the hero to take the lead, the others had to gather in the square, shouting and scolding, asking the mentor to come out and explain clearly.
Gu Shiyu and Youlande rushed to the guild with their own people, only to see that many places in the guild were smoking and in a mess.
Downstairs in the guild are dozens of heroes who take the lead in smashing and looting. Yolande looked over and found that there were a few dwarves inside, and he stepped forward angrily to fight, but was tightly pulled by Gu Shiyu. Gu Shiyu persuaded: "Lao You, let's go see the mentor first!"
Yolande stared at the dwarves fiercely and scolded: "Dwarves have never lost a fight! If you want to fight or smash, can't you wait for me to give an order? It's good now, it's a shame to be tied up here!"
The dwarves were ashamed and bowed their heads.
The two went upstairs, and the tutor and Ju Lei were arguing in the office.
"Giant Thunder, when the portal was sealed, you actively supported it. For the sake of Lady Grey, not only did you repeatedly persuade me not to reveal the truth, but you even took the lead in hunting down the witches who were tracking down the matter! I'll go and explain to the students, don't you have anything to explain?"
Giant Thunder's face didn't feel hot. Fortunately, the skin is rough and basically unnoticeable. He shouted, "Okay, this matter aside, how can you treat your students so roughly? You used to be their idol, and the Heroes Guild is also a place that people all over the world yearn for, and now you have all screwed it up!"
The giant sword became angry: "Giant Thunder, the matter is not the master's fault, but you! If you don't be clever and lead people to surround the Black Wood Forest, Zoro will not find an excuse to start a war, and the Lost Land can maintain peace for a while!"
The people in the office stopped arguing when they saw Gu Shiyu and Youlande walking in. Ju Lei shouted, "Who asked you to come in?"
Yolande swaggered down and said, "As far as I know, the owner of this office is the mentor, not you Ju Lei. ”
Gu Shiyu said: "There are so many people waiting outside, I just want to hear your explanation." ”
Ju Lei said angrily: "Let the mentor explain it to them!" After that, he walked downstairs angrily, and when he passed by Gu Shiyu's side, he hit him on the arm intentionally or unintentionally.
Gu Shiyu was knocked to the side, his shoulder hurt, and he was extremely angry.
Okay, you giant thunder, you kid is crazy, now I can't beat you, when I get stronger, I will beat you once I see you!
The mentor said to the greatsword: "You go down first, first ask someone to clean up the guild hall, all the heroes will gather in the hall at night, and I will give them an explanation." ”
Gu Shiyu looked at the tutor blankly. The mentor nodded and said, "I know what you want to ask." Yes, I did it. ”
"Why?" Although Gu Shiyu already knew the answer, he was still taken aback when he heard the tutor say it himself.
The Mentor sighed and said, "The Lost Land used to be a prosperous continent, and when you were outside cultivating, you also saw the ruins of many cities, all of which were destroyed by war. ”
Gu Shiyu and Youlande listened quietly.
"There are seven portals in the Lost Lands, connecting humans, dwarves, elves, witches, wildlings, elementals, and dungeons. It can be said that it was once the center of commerce and trade of the whole world. ”
"Because of the portal here to access other continents, the Lost Lands has become a bridgehead for war, and every war is started through here. Because of this, each race wants to monopolize this land, and they have fought each other for thousands of years, and no one can occupy the lost land for long, but the war has almost destroyed the civilization here. ”
"You know about the war thirty years ago. Catherine's father, after defeating the dwarven army, suffered heavy losses himself. In order to restore peace to the world, her father approached me, along with Lady Grey's grandfather, and the three of us discussed how to seal the portal so that no race could invade other countries through the Lost Lands. ”
"Madame Grey's family was once the Duke of the Lost Lands, and their ancestors were loyal to the Kingdom of Erathia, and they were staunch allies of Erathia, and of course we also wanted the Lost Lands to be spared the suffering of war, so we gathered hundreds of druids and sealed the portal with the powerful power of light. ”
"Now, if you pass through the seven portals in the Lost Lands, you will find that next to them there is a huge stone ball engraved with an ancient spell, that is, a seal made of obsidian, which cannot be opened by external force alone. ”
"In order to prevent the news from leaking, we announced that the wrath of the gods sealed the portal. But to tell a lie, it is bound to cover it up with several lies. Before his death, Mrs. Grey's grandfather made a will to keep the secret and guard the seal forever. ”
Only then did Gu Shiyu and Yolande understand why Lady Grey wanted to hunt down the witch.
The mentor sighed, "Maybe we have done something wrong, paper can never contain fire, and there is no seal in the world that can never be broken. We thought that this would be a result of hundreds of years of peace, but only thirty years later. ”
Gu Shiyu didn't know what to say. In order to seek peace, these people endured humiliation and burdens in exchange for the rest and recuperation of the world, with good intentions, but they deceived the heroes for decades. Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say, "Mentor, you didn't do anything wrong. Can you tell us what to do now?"
The mentor said, "Sauron of the Thieves' Guild, there are many heroes who will ask to open the portal. Sooner or later, the seal will be broken, and no one can stop it. Only then will the whole world be plunged back into war. I hope that before the portal opens, you will be ready for battle. ”
"Mentor, how can I open the portal?"
"The final seal was sealed by Catherine's father. At the cost of his own life, he sacrificed to the gods and sealed them with the blood of kings. The king's sword on the tomb of the guild king of China is the final seal. Only the Chosen One will be able to pull out this sword and finally open the seal. Not anyone else, not even me, Zoro and Thunder. ”
Who could this be the Chosen One? No one in the Lost Lands could pull out this sword, otherwise Catherine would not have become an old girl. Gu Shiyu was full of admiration for this king in his heart, but he was also secretly happy. Neither Roland nor he could pull out the sword, and he only hoped that the Chosen One was a girl. Catherine would never marry a girl, wouldn't she be gay?
The instructor said, "You go out first, and let me be alone for a while." ”
Gu Shiyu and Youlande withdrew from the guild office, and they were surprised.
According to the mentor, the portal will be opened sooner or later, but when?
Gu Shiyu couldn't help but say, "Lao You, do you say it's better to open the portal or not?"
Yolande glared and said, "Of course you have to open it! This is not my home, why should I stay here and wait for old death?"
Gu Shiyu sighed and said, "Lao You, once the portal is opened, you may not even have a chance to grow old." ”
A soldier's long-cherished wish is to die on the battlefield, and if he lies on his bed and swallows his last breath, it is not very interesting. ”
