Chapter XVII: The Oath of Alliance
"One, two, three······" Sears silently counted the number of ghosts, and finally he realized that he couldn't count them anymore. Pen fun pavilion www.biquge.info eaves, roofs, open spaces······ Countless ghosts surged in the one where the red moon was blocked by dark clouds, and the thick black gas outlined their appearance: helmets, shields, weapons······ It turned out to be an army of ghosts.
Regardless of the belief of any people, the existence of the soul is recognized, and the soul will go to different places with the death of the body: the continent of the elves, the islands of the dwarves······· Each belief has its own legends and interpretations, as the soul should never continue to exist on the continent of Oslanka. Only those who cultivate the soul system will capture those who are about to die, give them power, and give them the ability to continue fighting, such as ghost keepers and necromancers.
There is another way for souls to continue to exist on the continent, and that is the curse and blessing received before death, the cursed soul will continue to live on the continent, waiting for the curse to be broken, and the blessed soul will happily live somewhere, such as the Wizard Tower.
There was no doubt that the soul army in front of Sears was cursed, and the thick black gas outlined the faces that had suffered from the vicissitudes of life, and they were silent, waiting for the adventurer to wake up. They have no power over the physical world, and they don't even have a chance to appear on weekdays, except on the night of revention.
"This ······ Is this true?" I rubbed my eyes and looked at the ghost in front of me in surprise, when I first opened my eyes, I was almost half scared to death by this armless soul, and the others were the same, most people were frightened when they saw the soul for the first time, but quickly calmed down.
Suman is the one who sees the most souls among us, and blessed souls can often be seen roaming in the Tower of the Highest, and they are always visible in the wizard's tower with special enchantments, bringing joy to the wizards and apprentices within. In addition, it was the first time that Suman had seen the form of a soul outside the Wizard's Tower, and it was cursed, and a strong aura of death spread.
Most of the Gavin and the others from Phipp had seen souls once or twice, but such an army of souls was terrifying and had never been heard of.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we don't have much time. A relatively tall ghost floated in front of Jiawen and saluted Jiawen in a way that we had never seen, and Jiawen arched his hand to him in the manner of Fipu: "Senior, in Xia Jiawen, see the teaching." ”
"Gavin Solomon, you still carry on the lineage of your ancestors, and I have seen the halberd of Atama once again, and I can feel the response of your ancestors. "The ethereal voice is a little hoarse, and some old vague universal syllables.
"I don't know what the seniors call them?"
The black soul waved his hand: "The name has no meaning, we are the warriors of the Iron Feather Legion of the Lan Yu Country, it has been 2366 years since the last war of our lives, the gods are above, we have been imprisoned here for two thousand years, suffering from wind, frost and snow." ”
We can't help but be stunned, we really can't imagine what kind of curse can last for two thousand years, blessings can continue to be blessed, who will continue to renew the curse magic in this barren mountain and wilderness.
All the black souls let out a sigh, or a sigh between heaven and earth, a sigh of the years. Two thousand years is not a long time, but it is not a short time, and if there are no soul mages channeling here, they will actually only have two thousand soul-reining nights to transmit information to the outside world, if someone happens to pass by······
"Can I trust you? ”
Two thousand years ago, during the Third Dark Age, all the Terrans, orcs, elves, and dwarves ······ They formed an alliance to fight against the dragons and the orcs and sea tribes under the dragons, and there was no need to ask, this Lan Yao army must have all died in the battle with the evil forces, and they were all worthy of admiration.
"The ancient alliance agreement is still unbroken today, and the warriors of the Arashigai Nation, regardless of race, creed, or past, will lend a helping hand to their allies, even if they are broken. Garvin recited the ancient alliance oath, an oath that most people had forgotten.
"We are spears in the night, stairs in the abyss, breaking through the veil of dawn and facing the endless darkness. Quinton and Mahoney silently recited the oath of the Knights of the Holy Lance.
Suman then recited the mage oath of the Most High Tower: "We will guide the path of light, burn all, destroy all, and we will fight side by side with warriors and mages of all races, living and dying together, and letting blood spill on the earth." ”
"Let's hunt down the creatures of the dark. Ansel attached a crossbow to the cherry-red crossbow.
Sears' hands and head had taken the form of a leopard: "Orcs don't lag behind. ”
"Their bones will be my whetstone. "Tyrone Steel Knife in hand.
All the black souls gathered, and they watched us in silence.
"The Alliance is here, our sacrifice is worth it, friends, you must know what you will face. The leading Black Soul said, "We, the Iron Feather Army, originally came here to escort a mage from the temple, but we met the dragonman Gurikos. ”
I remember the name because Gurikos wielded a cursed evil sword: Soul Slashing. A cursed sword so sharp that the souls of those slain by it will remain in the world forever to suffer unless the evil sword is destroyed.
"Is it a soul slash?" I asked.
"Yes, you should all have heard the name of this sword, it is still here, in the catacombs of this temple, sealed by our magicians. The black soul pointed to the idol, "Our surviving warrior didn't get the news out, it's still there. ”
Jinxi walked up to the idol and jerked it down along with the pedestal, revealing a swarthy tomb with dust that had accumulated for two thousand years rising slightly.
"Warriors, you must be clear that the dragonman Gurikus is not dead, you will know when you go down, and I will say that no one has forced you to do this, and we cannot give you anything in return. ”
"We have nothing to repay for the battles you have sacrificed. Gavin walked to the cave and lit the torch.
"For the Union. Hale raised his bronze sword, and a stream of black gas swirled upward.
"For the Union. "We raise our weapons.
"For the Union. The army of black souls responded, and a red moon emerged from behind the dark clouds, and the black souls disappeared into the air.
