Chapter 57: The Patriarch's Entrustment
Although after listening to Dalí's previous narration, Bell had vaguely guessed a thing or two, but at this time, hearing the old patriarch tell the secret himself, his heart still had a lot of waves. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
After a period of war and chaos, relying on the indomitable will of their ancestors Gondra and accidental luck, the Bik finally unified the savannah region, creating their own era, which lasted for thousands of years. It's just that no one thought that the hero who ended the war was the embodiment of the devil, as early as two hundred years ago, its impact on this ancient tribe had begun to appear, like a long-planned spider, slowly spitting comfortable silk webs, enveloping the tribe in it and unable to extricate itself. It led the tribe to the brink of extinction, so it's no exaggeration to call it the beginning of a nightmare.
"Later...... Are you hiding this fact?" asked Bell tentatively.
"It was a last resort," Dali replied, "and we were not just dealing with the royal House of Rodwell, but with it the clash between the tribes when the power of the Monument was weakened two hundred years ago. By the time I became the Patriarch, the friction between the clans had intensified, and they believed that the easily acquired power had corrupted the will of the Vics, and that the legacy of Gondra had been thrown into the long river of history. Although this is true, some people with ulterior motives have secretly formed some forces, and in recent years there have even been several small wars with the Vics over the management of the minerals. ”
"So you fear that if this secret spreads, the foreigners will have even more reason to overthrow the Vics. ”
"It's not just foreigners," said Dali, "there is a Vic named Bikleta, who is a loyal supporter of the power of the Monument, and is known as the strongest Vic warrior of his generation, and many of his tribes follow him. Because I used to have a persistent love for my daughter, I have always been worried about my marriage to Gosan. I have already found signs of Leta's betrayal in several wars with the foreigners, and if I let him know this secret again, imagine what the consequences of his martial arts will be?"
Leta...... Judging from the situation with Garay, he is indeed a crazy guy, but the already crumbling Vic clan is really troubled at this time, Bell thought to himself.
"Although we kept this secret from us, we did not ignore the warnings left by our ancestors. I personally experimented with Master Gondra's method of removing the power of the monument, but although his method was clearly presented in front of me, it had to be quite precise in practice, and I had no experience at all, so the power was removed, and the body was ...... but ended up with such a field. ”
Bell's mind conjured up images from a thousand years ago, the Great Warrior of Gondra got this monument by chance, and was forced by the situation to use its power to defeat foreign enemies, but he understood that this power was always a hidden danger, and after unifying the steppe, he constantly fought against it, and although he came up with a way, he still unfortunately died.
"I almost died just by following his method, and when Master Gondra created it, it was unimaginably dangerous. I looked at these words left by Lord Gondra, as if I saw a lonely and brave man, for the continuation of his clan, he used his life to fight the demons in his body, but unfortunately future generations have long been blinded by this easily obtained power......" Dali's expression was extremely lonely, and after a while, he raised his head and said, " But as the patriarch, I had to bear the fate of the Bik like Lord Gondra, so after my defeat, I left all the affairs of the clan to Gosan, and let him lead the foreigners who were loyal to me in constant training, and at the same time applied the improved methods to my children and his wife, who was Hatu's parents. ”
Bell looked at Dali, "Hatu's parents?"
"Yes, but as the children of the patriarchs, they must also have this awareness. Fortunately, they managed to remove their strength, and they did not become what I was, but their physique was also changed, because they completely lost their ability to fight, and even if they were trained, they could not even defeat an ordinary clansman. ”
"And ...... they now?"
In search of a way to recover, they traveled together a long time ago, when Hatu was just born. ”
"So Prince Hatu hasn't received the power of the Monument, right?"
"Of course not, in fact, since I learned the secret of the Monument, I ordered all newborns in the Vic tribe not to accept the power of the Monument, but to let them learn martial arts with Gosan, and Hatu was no exception. After several years of hard work, I have basically mastered the method left by Lord Gondra, and just as I tried to test it again, I suddenly found that the Bick had already fallen into a situation of being attacked on the back of the enemy, and if the power of the Monument was successfully removed, the Bick would have no ability to resist for at least a few years. I began to hesitate to proceed with the experiment, and that's when the three magicians arrived.
The sorcerer at the head seems to have the key to control the power of the Monument, through which he easily sucked away the power of the clan, and at the same time established the Hercules Cult, declaring that only by becoming a member of the church can he be eligible to regain his life, and the clansmen who have always admired force can't stand the torture of losing their strength at all, and have taken refuge in him, "Speaking of which, Dali still seems to have lingering palpitations," You have never seen the dejected and irrational appearance of the tribe when they lose their strength, and the tribe at that time, like a lonely beast, walked aimlessly back and forth in the tribe, sometimes roaring, sometimes attacking others, it is hard to imagine how far the Vic would have ended up if I continued to experiment......"
"What the hell is the purpose of the wizard? I don't believe he's just starting a so-called sect here. ”
"He's here to ...... Take this monument!"
"Take away the monument? Could it be that he has something to do with the origin of the monument?"
"The connection has not yet been clarified, but it must be related. But I can't let him take the monument away, because ...... Because as I said before, once they leave the Monument, the Beeks will be completely defenseless, and it will take a long time for the people trained by Gosan to ......"
Indeed, dark forces such as the royal family of Rodwell and the prairie have long been ready to move like hunters in full gear, and if they lose the strength to fight at this time, the tribal dynasty established for thousands of years is bound to perish.
But Bell had another thought in his mind, he believed that the Vics were originally reckless men in a cloak of might, and that the seeds of destruction had long been planted, and now that the cloak had been shattered, the wizard was just a catalyst to accelerate the growth of the seeds of destruction. However, as a knight, Bell can't say this, all he needs to do is fulfill the Vic commission.
"When the sorcerer discovered that there were still some members of his clan who had not received the power of the Monument, in order not to be influenced by them, he gave the members of the church a rather evil power, making them completely incapable of thinking, and at the same time obeying his orders to act as a guard. Fortunately, Gosan took the initiative to join them, ostensibly imprisoning these unaffected people, but in fact protecting them. And the wizard seems to have limited mana, he imprisoned me in order to use the method of disarming the power of Gondra when moving the monument, although there has been no movement yet, but I know that there is not much time left for us, Gosan has sent you to show that he is planning to do it, whether it is successful or not, I must stay here and fight until the last moment, so please," Dali squeezed Bell's shoulders tightly, "Be sure to take Hatu and the surviving people, they are the last hope of the Vic tribe!"
"Patriarch Dali, as a knight, must complete this mission. But at first I was just trying to find out why the wizards attacked the tribe, but you told me all the secrets of the Vic, and I think it wasn't just to tell Hatu about it, but for some other reason, right?" asked Bell solemnly.
"Hehe, young man, I am quite relieved to entrust this task to you!" Dalí's eyes unexpectedly smacked of approval, "because the Monument must not fall into the hands of others! I know that the Knights' Guild does not belong to any country, and it is very good at investigating such incidents. Although the Vics are like the end of their crossbows, they have accumulated a considerable amount of wealth over a long period of time, and if I have an accident with Gosan, you will report everything that has happened here to the Guild, and as long as you have the right commission, they will not sit idly by, right?"
It seems that when it comes to life and death, Dali has not completely given up his dependence on the Xuan Monument, but from the position of the patriarch, this is understandable. Just ......, "Then why do you trust the Knights Guild so much?" Bell asked.
"Because Gosan's daughter, my granddaughter also passed the test at a knight school called Leibi Academy and became an official knight, but she just returned to the tribe and was attacked by the silver mage in order to rescue Hatu......"
"Leibi Academy?!" Bell was startled and jumped up, "What's your granddaughter's name?"
Dalí looked at him a little strangely, and four words came out of his mouth: "Demadonna!"
