Chapter 112: The Horse Stumbles
The Khedive raised his eyes to look at the fat merchant who was sweating in front of him, and without commenting on what he had just said, he stood up and walked around Santos to the windowsill of the room.
The mansion bestowed by the Archon was a collateral of a long-lost aristocracy, with a windowsill three feet above the ground and precious transparent glass adorning it, which not only allowed the occupants to overlook the streets of Norm outside the mansion from three floors, but also allowed the bright light of the sun to shine in and illuminate every inch of the house.
The "lord of the castle" liked this design, and it was one of the few aristocratic artifacts in the house that he had personally ordered to keep. The Khedive's favorite enchanted chessboard was placed in the most well-lit place in front of the windowsill, and whenever he had free time, he would look out at the streets of Nome City and talk about a game of wit.
"Chess is a game of wisdom and strategy, and it is a trick to play the cards that are popular in the gambling stalls," said the Khedive, who picked up a piece that symbolized a strategist or wise man, and placed it in the middle of the fighting dog pieces of the opposing sides. Under the effect of the additional spell, the Strategist Chess was attacked by two fighting dog chess pieces at the same time, and fell off the chessboard in a moment: "You see, if you accidentally put the chess pieces in the wrong position, even your own chess pieces will launch a merciless attack on you." β
Seeing that the fat body of the big boss of the Sand Rhino Caravan began to tremble a little, a warm smile appeared on the Khedive's face. He picked up the strategist chess outside the chessboard and walked up to Santos, and said condescendingly: "But don't worry too much, just like the so-called eating a trench to grow a wisdom, and the so-called wise man must have a thousand thoughts." Mr. Santos, you better go back and make the necessary preparations for your departure. But don't worry, you'll have plenty of time this time. β
When he saw the fat merchant trembling out of his mansion through the window, and sitting on the chair carried by his servants, the Khedive played with the strategist and moved one of his most inconspicuous wargames on the board forward, without looking. Since the fighting dog guarding the gate attacked the strategist, this small soldier walked to the opponent's bottom line without hindrance. A spell streamer flashed, and in an instant, the wargame was upgraded to a king chess, and the offensive and defensive momentum changed instantly.
"As long as you go to the end, the creep can also be king. β
In his mind, the Soul Binding Crystal, who heard this, hurriedly replied, "Yes, yes!"
......
Losing control of the Beast's Heart, the Shadowbeasts went berserk, and they began to unleash a frenzied attack on everyone in sight.
The sympathetic paladin Jensen and the ogre Naru, who had just not been happy, both continued to take up arms and encircled and suppressed these "crazy" synthetic war beasts. In the end, the other two ogres who were worried about their brother, and the half-lich who wanted to get more complete experimental materials, also joined the fight.
As for Quis, he re-transformed into a human boy form, and studied the soul binding crystal fragment that had been "merged into one".
"Hello, mighty and lucky dragon. "Momentary frustration does not affect the Soul Binding Crystal, which does not have the emotion of "frustration" at all, and the transformation of the two pieces into one gives the newly generated Soul Binding Crystal more substantial knowledge, so when the young blue dragon was studying it, it took the initiative to start communicating.
"Who are you?" Quest straightened up alertly, but continued to listen to the bubbling words in his head.
"It doesn't matter who I am, it's where I'm from that matters. The Soulbinding Crystal continued, "I come from a distant and unknown time, I am the tool for repeating what has already been recorded, and I am the key to unlocking the Tower of Soulbinding. β
"The Soulbinding Tower, the Blazing Shadow Beasts and the Brown Dragon that appeared before are also remnants of the Soulbinding Mage?" Quest made his guess based on the information captured by the Soulbinding Crystal's words.
"That's right, the Soul Binding Mage has been dead for a thousand years, and those Synthetic War Beasts and the like can indeed be called leftovers. It's just that because this inheritance was entrusted to non-people before, the power of the ancient secret was also miserably dusted in their hands. β
"Hidden Dust?"
"Young, powerful, and fortunate dragon, are you so naΓ―ve? think that a brown dragon who can be easily defeated by you, and a lowly desert elf slave chieftain are worthy of inheriting the accumulation of ancient powerhouses, they are only the custodians of treasures, the inheritors of secrets. The voice projected by the Soul Binding Crystal into Quest's mind suddenly became deafening.
"So who can obtain the true inheritance of the Soulbinder Mage?" asked Quis in a calm and expectant voice to the Soulbinder Crystal.
"Get rid of the barrier of fate, break free from the shackles of body and mind, and this path is hidden in the Tower of Soul Binding. However, only those who are physical, mental, and sexual can be qualified to enter. Lucky dragon, you have two of the three, just eat the corpse of the brown dragon that has begun to merge with the hearts of the beasts, and you will have the right to inherit this inheritance. β
"The elf of Salem is the heart of the beast, and the brown dragon is the body of the beast, according to you, there is still a carrier of the beast nature?"
"Exactly, young dragon, do you desire to ......become stronger?
"I'm sorry, I've recently lost weight. β
β......β
Can Quis be bewitched by the words of the Soul Binding Crystal?
It was possible before, but now, the abundant psychic power could protect him from any mental distortion effects.
Among the Silver Blade rewards issued by the Bato bureaucracy, which is incredibly long and unrememberable, contains all the psionic skills of a venerable Gise sage.
Quisi, who was lucky enough to obtain this precious inheritance, easily mobilized the Soul Binding Crystal to reveal the "truth" and the disk.
The five fingers of his right hand were opened, and a sharp blade glittering with pale silver brilliance grew out of the flesh. Quest clenched the silver blade and aimed it at the Soul Binding Crystal he was holding in his other hand, swinging it hard.
The sound that originally sounded like a bubbling spring in his mind instantly turned into a ghost crying wolf, but under the tenacious psychic ability barrier, there was no way to harm the protected young blue dragon.
In addition to its ability to cut through physical matter like a normal weapon, in the hands of the Gisyankee Knights, the Silver Sword can also deal damage to virtual matter or living beings. Some mages sometimes want to enter the astral plane for some reason, but powerful people like them rarely dare to provoke the Giss Yankees. Because once the silver blade cuts off the virtual body "silver thread" between the astral projection and the body of the material plane, these astral travelers will die directly.
Thanks to the selfless teaching of the sages of the Guise people, Quest also mastered this ability.
As he had expected, an invisible line appeared on the Soul Binding Crystal as the blade of the blade slashed like a pale silver beam.
The thin line stretched out for about two or three feet before disappearing into the void.
