Chapter 1: The Secret of the Demons
Altino calendar 568 November, Free Cities Union Antwerp
A month ago, Wang Wu and Zhou Gongjin, who were supposed to belong to the same camp on the banner, fought to the death in Jerusalem. The two army commanders of Eltinor, each with peerless cultivation, are enough to claim the first place on this continent, and the fierce battle between these two people not only hit each other hard, but also affected the entire space, in the following month, a series of heaven and earth changes occurred in the free city, water, fire, wind, thunder, earthquakes, violently invaded all life on this land.
If this situation is allowed to develop, the southeast area of the Wind Continent may repeat the shocking apocalyptic scene before the Japanese land sinks, but neither the two army commanders who caused this disaster, nor the rest of the Heavenly Rank Warriors on the Wind Continent, have the ability to clean up such a mess.
The "peerless heavenly sword" Wang Wu can't, and neither can the conceited and wise Zhou Gongjin, and in the end, this mess caused by the martial artist can only be handed over to the magic master on the Wind Continent to solve.
"It's really not up to us to do it, but if we don't, the world we live in will be destroyed, so we have to clean up this mess. β
Generally speaking, most of the Magus are in order to study the way of magic, ignoring lust and worldliness, so if you use the call of "for the sake of future generations", you probably won't get much response, so under the call of the chairman of the Demon Guild Cao Cangyue and the first elder Merlin Green, with the call of "world balance", the Demon Guild mobilized a large number of people to form a defensive barrier in the northwest, center, and southeast of the free city to disperse the heaven and earth vitality in the violent state.
Antwerp is a big city in the southeast of the free city, a few days ago due to a sudden strong earthquake, caused heavy casualties, even the nearby extinct volcano was active and erupted, fortunately, before the magma caused damage, thousands of magisters arrived in time, with enchantment, freezing spells, the magma was stopped outside the city, and then, they sealed the volcano that was about to erupt violently, and thousands of people formed a super-large enchantment circle, and began to channel the chaotic energy of heaven and earth.
The formation formed by thousands of people has a radius of up to one mile, and in the outer part, the cultivation of the Magister is relatively shallow, and in the way of rotation, the rest is exchanged, so as not to cast spells for several months, causing premature physical exhaustion and unsustainable, while in the inner circle, more than 1,000 Magus are either floating in the air or sitting on the ground, not to mention resting for a month, they are simply like stone statues, completely maintaining this posture and not changing.
In the practice of a magister, there is the so-called meditation, which seals the entire body and mind, and only reacts to the energy fluctuations sensed by the body, and this is also the most suitable state for adjusting the vitality of heaven and earth.
In Copenhagen, which is close to the North Gate of Tianguan in the northwest, the entire enchantment array is shrouded in the sound of chanting Sanskrit chanting, while in Antwerp, the magician steps on dense rune totems under his feet, taking advantage of the location to slow down the physical load on the magisters.
From the city of Antwerp looking out of the city, I saw red clouds floating in the air, covering most of the mountain, and at the top of the peak, the dazzling golden rays soared into the sky, even if it was already evening, it was still incomparably bright.
Unable to get close, people only saw it as a sign of intermittent eruptions, feared it, and prayed that disaster would not befall the inhabitants. But the eruption of the volcano has long been sealed by the Magus, and the source of this golden glow is not magma, but a girl floating in the hot vapor of the crater, and the current president of the Magus Guild - Cangyue Grass.
The body of the heavenly spirit is not an entity, but a more illusory existence similar to the "ghost hime" Oda incense. Xiaocao used itself as a bridge, continuously attracting frenzied energy, entering the giant magic array around it, and then gradually dissipating.
The energy fills the body like a tide, as if each finger contains the vitality that is about to erupt, and the heavenly spirit and the excessive energy are continuously neutralized, and the appearance of the grass also changes, and the skin is covered with a faint golden glow, and even the original light blue hair has changed to a golden color like the sun, and from a distance, it looks like a beautiful goddess bathed in the sea of gold.
However, the magister outside could not see this, and could only vaguely see six shining mantras flying around the chairman in the form of a golden dragon, and from time to time let out a loud roar, which was magnificent, and the goddess who was guarded by the spell in the center seemed to fall into a deep sleep, unaware of what was outside her body, only at the moment of sunrise and sunset every day, when yin and yang intertwined, she occasionally blinked her intelligent bright eyes.
Sleep, this is what Xiaocao is doing at the moment, because only by giving up self-awareness and thinking, and using the "heart" to respond to energy changes, can she be in the violent energy without being harmed, but every day at sunrise and sunset, she will still briefly regain her consciousness and sense what is happening in the outside world.
Although thousands of miles away, through the whispers of the elves in the atmosphere, the changes in the starlight, and the sound of the wind, Xiaocao still accurately grasped what was happening in Shangri-La, including several fierce battles on the ground of Shangri-La.
Shangri-La's underground, like the underground ruins of Jerusalem, is guarded by some kind of power, and it is impossible to carry out magic detection smoothly, but the fluctuation of magic above the ground makes Xiaocao feel a little uneasy, especially the extra combat power on Shi Chong's side, which makes her worry about her husband's current state.
(Although the detachment of the spirit body can be teleported thousands of miles in an instant, it is very risky, not only is the load on physical strength very heavy, but as long as the enemy perceives this and makes a targeted attack, even if there is a peerless martial art, it will not be able to exert it...... οΌ
Back then, in Siam City, the sneaky Shi Chong repeatedly plotted in a spirit state, but because he acted in a spirit state, when he encountered himself, he didn't make a move, and he hit himself hard with a miracle. If the enemy learns similar methods, then no matter how much the husband's martial arts advance by leaps and bounds, he will ......
(However, the disordered state of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi will not calm down for a while, and I will not be able to separate myself until the whole situation is stabilized...... οΌ
Xiaocao noticed one thing, although she and the Magister group worked hard for days, the disorder of the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi was much worse than expected, this was not a normal natural phenomenon.
(Unless...... There is another source that is causing the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to continue to be chaotic...... οΌ
The only possibility is that Jerusalem has become a ruin, but before Xiaocao can look there, he falls into a deep sleep again in the blazing golden light......
β»β»β»
Although he was seriously injured, he could not worry about bleeding from the wound, which was really a gratifying thing, at least for Hao Kelian. It's just that watching my body harden inch by inch and turn to stone is not very pleasant.
If it was a person with a slightly cowardly personality, he might have been frightened crazy by this terrifying pressure, but Hao Kelian just looked at her petrified part lightly, without any expression.
She didn't know if she was normal, or maybe she had gone crazy since the night when the flames and blood flew together.
Over the years, the life of being upside down, born and dying, in retrospect, is really like a dream that I can't wake up from, as for whether this is a nightmare, I can't tell anymore, anyway, there is no expectation and vision for the future, "living" itself is the only goal of life at this moment.
However, if your brain is no longer normal, then it seems that there is someone who is even more crazy than yourself, that person...... He is a very sweet man.
If you could meet a little more such good men in your previous life, maybe you would choose a different outlook on life. She has always been regarded as a witch who plays with people's hearts, but ...... Every move of this man was beyond his expectations, and he repeatedly succeeded in teasing his own ice heart.
β...... I already have a sweetheart. β
What would be the reaction of ordinary men when they heard this? Under normal circumstances, it should all develop in a negative direction, right? However, the cuteness of that Schute man lies in the way he behaves, which repeatedly makes himself miscalculate.
It was not surprising that he had been stunned for a long time, and when he came back to his senses from his stillness, he stumbled back a few steps and hit the beam behind him, and puffs of dust fell from the top of the wall that had fallen into disrepair.
"There's snow?"
I was really a little worried at that time, for fear that he wouldn't be able to stand the blow, after all, after spending life and death together hand in hand, he did feel a little sorry for telling himself like this. However, the fierce reaction of this Sheter made his half-paralyzed self unable to stop him.
"Oh~~"
At that time, he reflexively hugged the beam pillar behind him, and the whole person was like a woodpecker, and his head hit the beam pillar vigorously, as if he wanted to expel the words and memories he had just heard out of his mind, so he hit more than ten times in a row, and then turned his face with blood on his face, walked over and put his hand on his shoulder.
"You...... What are you doing? I've already said that I have someone else in my heart, you...... You don't have to worry about me, let's go quickly!"
"Ke Lian, you don't have to worry, I will definitely help you get the antidote. β
"I'm not poisoned, and there's no antidote to fossil work...... You, you're the one who needs hemostatic medicine. β
"Don't worry, I'll save you. β
"Save yourself first, hurry up and stop the bleeding, you ...... You seem to have a nail in your forehead......"
Looking at his bleeding appearance, he was really worried and anxious, because if he didn't bandage and rescue him immediately, this Sheter might die faster than himself.
But he didn't hear his voice, and instead of stopping the bleeding, he clapped his hands heavily on his shoulders.
"If you stay here to recuperate, I will definitely get the antidote from Shi Chong's hand and help you detoxify!"
It has already been said that it is not poison, why can't this Xuete understand it? However, it is clear that he does not know any martial arts, but the hands held on his shoulders are so hot and powerful that he can't make a sound, so he can only watch him take a piece of white cloth and wrap it around his head, and then shout "Down with Shi Chong", and go out.
(Fool, fool, how can there be such a stupid man...... οΌ
In a chaotic mood, Hao Kelian didn't pay much attention to the passage of time, until the explosion and strong light shook the entire Shangri-La City, she suddenly woke up, but she was unable to stand up and go out to look.
(What's the matter?What's going on out there??Why is this earth-shattering?)
Hao Kelian felt very strange, because although the power of this explosion was strong, it could not sense the fluctuations of the heavenly forces colliding with each other. At the moment in Shangri-La City, the only person who could cause this destruction without relying on the power of the Heavenly Position was the only one who could cause this destruction.
It's just that just as she was trying to stay awake and continue to sense outward with her heavenly consciousness, an inexplicable fluctuation made her realize that someone had come behind her, and she was affected by the injury, but she had not noticed it before.
With a little nervousness, Hao Kelian turned her neck that was about to stiffen, and turned around to see the person coming from behind.
β...... Is that you?"
"Oh, yes! β
β»β»β»
To create this great destruction, Youxue actually does not have this ability, but if it is said to cause this great destruction, then he is indeed duty-bound, because if he hadn't killed the mayor's mansion and set off that commotion, it would not have evolved into a situation where the entire mayor's mansion was blown up into the sky.
On Shi Chong's side, the losses were not too heavy, because at the time of the explosion, including Shi Chong himself, the entire Golden Dragon Clan launched a defensive wall to prevent the explosion from being too powerful, so the scope was not too large, and the casualties were not too heavy.
However, after the explosion, everyone couldn't find the Xuete bastard, and they didn't know where he was hiding, and some of them were even more shocked.
Only Shi Chong himself knew that the main culprit who caused this destruction was not a Shet, but a mysterious master who he couldn't guess. Judging from the signs, the other party is only afraid that it is not a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist, because a Heavenly Rank Martial Artist with this destructive power does not need to use the Ancient Demon Dao weapon to cheer up.
(Ancient Demon Path...... Is it the master of the white letter family? or ...... The only heir of Huang Taiji Lao'er?)
There was no basis for this inference, but Shi Chong remembered that before that series of flashes, he had seen a special machine floating silently in the crowd. The appearance of the machine was a half-foot-long narrow cylindrical object, like a sword rather than a sword, like a gun rather than a gun, with an inky black appearance, without a trace of reflection, and was not made of ordinary metal, but some kind of superalloy that used magical technology.
Even a scholar who specializes in the ancient demon path may not have the opportunity to see such a thing, and he has seen such a weapon in the Chiba Stream database, when he was reading the research records of Huang Taiji's early years and the relevant records of the Tongtian Cannon.
The heritage of the prehistoric primeval civilization, the record name: Four Swords, while another alias that was widely known in prehistoric times was...... Physical Honkai Gun. The super powerful destruction weapon of the primeval civilization is the number one murder weapon in the world among the portable personal weapons, and in the confidential archives of Chiba Stream, it is confirmed that no one in the world today can make and reproduce such a weapon, although 1,500 years ago Huang Taiji tried to study and crack it, but in the end it was a failure.
(Does this mean that Reins can crack the manufacturing alone and surpass the technology of Huang Taiji back then?Hey, this is a happy thing, if not, then the cannon of heaven...... οΌ
Shi Chong looked at the sky, he knew that the enemy was leaving from the sky, but he was not sure which direction.
The answer that Shi Chong couldn't be sure of was now in the northeast outside Shangri-La City, and after the snow was dizzy by a whirlwind, it fell from the sky into the underground.
"Oops!" Yuxue cried, but found that the feeling on her body was not as painful as she expected. In the past, I had a lot of experience flying in the sky by my companions, but whether it was Lancelot, Gengoro or Nier, every time I let people go before landing, I would let them go hard, or else they would fall high, and the result would of course be half dead and I rolled my eyes;
(Strange...... Who is it?)
After thinking about it, I couldn't guess for a while which friend would be so kind, and finally decided to turn my head to look, but I saw a strange-shaped human head with sharp horns.
"Wow!" Youxue exclaimed, and fell several feet back, hurting the wound, which had been frozen by the cold wind in the sky, and then burst and bleed.
"Beep-" A strange sound came from the head of the humanoid object opposite, and then I saw it take a step forward, kneeling on one knee, and put its hand a few inches in front of Youxue's chest, its five fingers spread, and the entire palm of the hand emitted a light blue electric current.
"Uh, why isn't it a revert spell......"
Treat the wound with a reply spell.,Youxue has seen a lot in the past and has been used a lot.,Seeing the same posture.,I thought it was the other party who wanted to help me treat it with magic.,Who knew that what was released was an electric current.,It's like a mouse that has been electrocuted.,The whole body spasms.,Dancing hands.,Squeak and scream.γ
Fortunately, the pain only lasted for a short time, and when the pain disappeared and the wound became strangely itchy, Yuxue looked intently, only to find that his wound began to heal at an alarming rate.
This effect is similar to the recovery spell, but it is still different, the orthodox reply spell is to strengthen its own healing effect, after the wound is closed, the first scar, before it is completely compounded, but the wound is closed immediately reunited, there is no trace, there is no scarring process between them.
Surprised, Yuxue saw the other party's appearance clearly at the same time. In addition to the very strange head, the body also looks very strange, all wrapped in a strange layer of metal, like armor, but Yuxue has never seen such a densely wrapped armor with such a thin material, perfectly attached to the body.
Judging from the delicate posture alone, this person seems to be a woman, but ...... This is not very certain, because judging by the curves of her appearance, the woman seems to be somewhat stunted, especially in the chest......
"Beepβ"
There was another strange sound, and the electric light in the metal woman's hand disappeared, and she stood up and spoke to Yuxue.
"Your luck is really good! This is a new technology that we have just successfully researched, through biological experiments, it is more effective than the recovery spell, if it goes well, even the injuries of the heavenly martial artists can be treated smoothly, because the basic principle of this is different from the recovery spell, it is to use the nano element that is injected into the naked eye, it enters the living organism and begins to replicate and reproduce, and quickly repairs the damaged flesh, so it can ......"
Speaking of the new breakthrough in technology, the other party's interest seemed to be very high, and he said a lot of words, but all of them were in a mechanical voice with no ups and downs on the tablet, which sounded quite harsh and weird, and after talking to himself for a while, he found that the Shet was sitting there in a daze, looking at him with straight eyes.
β...... Therefore, in addition to the repair of the bones, which takes half a day, the simple hematopoietic and raw meat engineering will be completed in the shortest possible time, and the whole process will be anesthetized, so the patient will not have pain, which is our most proud intimate design, and we do not forget human nature in science and technology...... Hmm? What's wrong? Am I too complicated? But Huang Fuping and a few of them can understand it, well, or I'll say it again!"
"No, can you tell me who the hell you are?"
"Huh, hey~~ It's too much, doesn't Mr. Yuxue recognize me?"
Although it was a mechanical voice that did not fluctuate on the tablet, the surprise in the tone could still be heard, and then, I don't know what she did, only the sound of "brushing" was heard, and the entire mechanical armor started from the blindfold on the head, and quickly contracted and disappeared, revealing the manipulator inside.
"This is the equipment that our Taiyan Institute completed ten days ago, the ultra-miniature strengthened mothership, the weapons, energy, and equipment that were originally supplied to a mothership-level unit, miniature into a set of armor equipment, and the external physical destruction gun and other equipment, can be called the peak achievement of the ancient magic technology at this moment, codenamed T1000, although it is still far away if you want to mass production, but the colleagues of the Taiyan Institute have followed Ah Ping and them to the club to celebrate the carnival!"
Lifted the protection of the mechanical armor, the true face of the manipulator is a delicate and lovely girl.
The girl wears a two-piece outfit. Inside is a vest-shaped underwear with a black background and silver pink stripes of red, blue, and yellow, and a gray mesh three-quarter sleeve coat on the outside.
The slightly wide coat, with the girl's too slender body, so as long as the movement is bigger, it will expose a large piece of skin on the chest and pink shoulders, and the lower half of the Shen blue cotton fitted trousers, neat cut, highlighting the girl's unique small round buttocks, the delicate curves of the developing girl are undoubtedly revealed.
A small person, with shoulder-length hair tied neatly behind her head, and a childlike smile on her face, she looks like a fledgling girl technician, but when she gushes about her proud works, the enthusiasm that is ignited due to concentration makes Youxue want to applaud very much, but she didn't expect that in just a short period of time, this Nizi has become so aggressive as a leader.
Long Einstein, nicknamed Ailing, the daughter of the famous demon craftsman Long Beethoven, is also the current supreme head of the Reins Ancient Demon Dao Research Institute, leading three thousand academicians, and I am also known as the genius of the ancient magic Dao, famous in the Jixia Academy, but ...... Due to the efforts of the Reins Intelligence Unit and the Taiyan Academy, another relatively unknown name that only circulates within the Taiyan Academy is the "Demon Destroyer".
Youxue and Ailing had a personal relationship in the past, not to mention that because of Hua Bianque's relationship, the two had many opportunities to meet, in Reynes's camp, they were all good friends who often drank and chatted, so now when they see each other, they are particularly affectionate, Youxue forgot the injuries on her body, jumped and pounced forward, the two of them held hands and sang and danced, until a while, Youxue woke up.
"Wait, why are you here? Aren't you in Reyns's lab?"
"Huh, didn't you ask Jixia for reinforcements? There are no more people left over there, so I'm here!"
"You...... Are you a reinforcement?"
"yes, it's very powerful, isn't it? Cappuccino is with him, too! But I'll let it go on a mission first. β
"Ah...... Yes...... Oh my God, we're dead, what kind of crazy idiot actually sent this fool as reinforcements, and this time we can't even think of annihilating the whole army. β
There was a scream of snow, just like his heavy heart, although he had secretly estimated before, with Reins's current manpower state, there was really no remaining manpower to be deployed, but he always thought that even if he wanted to send reinforcements, the greatest possibility should be his cheap female master Hua Bianque, how did he know that he sent this evil star over.
"Mr. Youxue, don't look down on me so much! T1000 is different from the inferior products of the previous trials, it is the design of Huang Taiji, and it is also our most proud work. I'm very confident, as long as I have this, I don't have to be afraid of any enemy, I will definitely be able to come in handy. β
"I'm not afraid of the enemy, it's you! Every time I use your things, what is not a weapon will become a weapon, and what is originally a weapon will become a suicide prop, not to mention anything else, what kind of surfboard was put in it last time, and then I was hospitalized for this alone...... Anyway, you're a masterpiece this time, and I don't want to embellish your achievements with my own corpse!"
"That'...... At least let me be a candidate for reinforcements first!"
"Look, even you don't have confidence in yourself anymore, how do you want me to believe in you? How can you say that you are also the head of the Taiyan Academy, is it okay to have a bit of a posture?"
Just like every time he drank in the past, Youxue simply knocked on Ailing's head and accused him loudly, but as he spoke, he suddenly thought of an idea. At this time, Ailing also asked why Youxue confronted Shi Chong alone and didn't see the rest of his companions?
(I lack helpers on my side, and I can't really do anything by relying on one person, so I just ...... οΌ
Youxue, who had ill intentions, first put the responsibility on his companions, saying that everyone was injured at present, and he needed someone to deal with Shi Chong, and as a man, he could only help Franslot to stand up and fight against Shi Chong. This lie is sixty percent false and four true, according to my own understanding of this little girl, it should not be difficult to deceive her naΓ―ve personality.
Who knows, Ailing frowned when he heard this, and took out an object from the carry-on bag on his waist, which quickly became larger with a shake in the wind, it was a metal hat with a square shell, a string of light bulbs of different colors on it, and a curved object like a handle on the left side. Without waiting for Youxue to ask questions, Ailing couldn't help but put the metal hat on Youxue's head.
The tripping buckle of the metal cap was quickly tightened, and Yuxue tried a few times, but he still couldn't take the hat off, and after seeing what setting Ailing seemed to adjust on the hat, he couldn't help but ask what this hat was.
"Oh, actually, I don't want to be so rude, but your master has explained, and she said that according to the experience she has gained from actual analysis, none of the Sheter's speeches can be trusted, especially when you say ten sentences in a row to explain the same thing, so as long as there are similar situations, you will be given this 'Russian six choice one lie detector' to prove that you are telling the truth. β
"How does this hat do polygraphs?"
"Do you see the light on above? White is the truth, and the rest goes from green to red, which means how serious you are lying, I can see by looking at the light!"
"Then why is it called 'Russia Six Choice One Lie Detector'? What is Russia?"
"Oh, I don't know, yes, this name seems to be related to a game that was very popular in the ancient times, do you see the handle next to it? Actually, it's a photon gun, and there is only one bullet in the six magazines inside, and under normal circumstances, as long as the red light is on once, it will be shot once, if the polygraph is unlucky, then ...... This hat has a cleaning device that will start the aftermath. β
"That'...... Why is it normal?"
"Oh, this is also your master's special order, Sister Hua said, be polite to you, it's better to change the setting to shoot every time the green light comes on. β
β...... I swear to the sky that if I don't die this time, I will definitely promote the revision of the constitution and arrest and execute the dark mage and the mad scientist!"
With a precision lie detector that is related to life and death, even if it is a treacherous and slippery Shet, he can only bow his head and admit defeat and honestly tell his little friend in front of him everything that happened. When everything was said and done, he simply sat on the ground, put his hands on his shoulders, and put on a posture of letting himself be slaughtered.
"That's the way it is, I've told you the truth, it's up to you to take me back, kill me or slaughter me. β
These words are actually a little uneasy, because if he is caught back all of a sudden, everything will be over, but how do you know that after these words, the other party's reaction is completely different from expected.
"Great, Mr. Yuxue, I never thought that you would be so manly, it is so admirable. β
Ailing helped Youxue remove the threat of the lie detector cap, slapped him on the back a few times, and showed a look of emotion that was about to shed tears, and vigorously expressed encouragement.
"I have decided that people who have true love will not be bad people, and I am willing to support Mr. Yuki's love. β
"W-What? Really? Great, with your help, it's a thousand people!"
This compliment is not a sycophant, because there is Xue's current situation, which is equivalent to having to fight alone with the two camps of Reyns and Shi Chong, if you get one more comrade, it is indeed very helpful, although this comrade does not seem to be very reliable, but from the perspective of destructive power alone, no one dares to underestimate it.
"Well, I've decided to side with Mr. Ariyuki. Didn't you say you were going to help that young lady with treatment? Without further ado, let's go over now! Come, I can give you a ride!"
Weapons or equipment that can be controlled by pressing buttons can often become a burden in actual combat, especially if the enemy presses it, and starts the function when it shouldn't be started, and finally leads to their own defeat, which is really a shame for being a scientist, so when Ailing starts the T1000 again, Youxue can't see what she did at all, only to see those mechanical equipment suddenly appear from the space, quickly covering her whole body, just in the blink of an eye, she has finished dressing, and once again reverted to the majestic mechanical knight from earlierγ
"Okay, let's fly!"
Grabbing Yuxue, Ailing shot into the sky, but under the helmet and reinforced mask, her expression looked a little timid and weak.
οΌ...... Let's help Mr. Yuki first, if they know that I sneaked out, it will be bad...... Anyway, I can't meet with everyone here until I've talked to my brother. οΌ
