Chapter 86: Triumph and Despair (1)
As calm and tranquil as ever, it's a tiny forest............ Of course, compared to those large forests that are tens of thousands of miles in circumference, Trem, which has a territory of only a few hundred miles, is really not large. There are no high-level magical beasts in the forest, the frost giant wolf Rak is purely passing here, and Baron Miro and his party from Red River Valley Town accompanied Celine here to find the Green Arrow Squirrel, and the seventh-level berserk ice bear that he realized was already the only overlord of the Trym Forest.
Just when Baroque and the frost wolf Luck were chased and fled by the rampaging ice bear, and arrived on the mountain of the Hebrewonian wolf family, a figure suddenly appeared on this day.
The figure of the man loomed, hidden in the air, and only when the sunlight came in could he vaguely see that his body seemed to be covered with a layer of crystal translucent. Behind him, a pair of delicate and transparent wings covered with feathers as if ice crystals had turned into feathers stretched out and flapped gently, and the next moment his body was like a ghost across a distance of hundreds of feet out of thin air, a few ups and downs, and he had climbed from the foot of the mountain to the halfway waist of the mountain.
At this time, the figure shook like water waves, the transparent cover disappeared, and the wings converged without a trace, revealing a clear body appearance.
This is a very handsome man, dressed in the robes of an orthodox clergyman, composed of red and white backgrounds, with a bright mountain ornamental pattern on the front chest and back, which looks ordinary, but if someone familiar with the Temple of the Gods sees him, they will be shocked to find something different.
His physique is slender and even thin, with long golden hair hanging down to the back of his shoulders, blue eyes, and a snow-white complexion, if it weren't for the slight golden beard on his lips, he would even be regarded as a woman. His appearance does not show his age, maybe he is middle-aged, or he may have just become an adult, but the vicissitudes and depth in his eyes make it possible for some people to believe him even if he has entered old age.
The blonde man looked out over the silent mountain, closed his eyes and stood quietly for a while, and then walked aimlessly, and after a long time, he almost reached the top of the mountain, and then suddenly opened his eyes, smiled, and went straight to the cave where the Baroque had met the Hebrewonian wolf.
The cave was empty, leaving no trace except for a pile of dry grass that had fallen with dust. But the man still felt a faint breath from the hay...... That's right, it's the breath of the old wolf!
The blonde man immediately looked excited...... Few things have been able to make him feel fluctuating for decades, but the discovery of the old Hebrewonian wolf is anything but a matter of fact. All the [Wind Whispering Scouts] scattered throughout the continent of Sauron have been searching for many years, but only the clues he followed have found the traces of the Hebrewonian wolf. Even just bringing this news back to the Bright Mountain Holy See Headquarters would be enough for him to be promoted, and even to obtain a higher-level Phantom Crystal Armor to become a [Sky Scun Warrior]!
But the inferior nature of human beings makes the blonde man not satisfied with this point of discovery, he craves more. The old wolf was seriously injured and was not far from death, and he also had a few little wolf cubs by his side, and the blonde man was confident that even if he was discovered by the old wolf, with the ability of the [Wind Bell Bird Phantom Armor], he could still escape. Besides, if the exact trace of the old Hebrewonian wolf can be found...... If you're lucky, if the old wolf is dead, it's not only his illusion crystal...... Even his four living cubs will become his own bag. I'm afraid that the ten elders of the Apocalypse Holy See will also be crazy about it, not to mention the Sky Patrol Warriors, even if they let themselves enter the Senate Council, it is not impossible to step into the core of the Holy See.
The blonde man took a long time to calm down his emotions, and the sweet dreams were all in front of him, but all this still needed him to continue to be patient. Wind Scouts have special abilities, and with the Phantom Crystal Armor forged by the special phantom beast [Wind Chimes Phantom Bird], they can trace the ethereal traces from the subtle clues, and they are the most perfect rangers, even more powerful than the powerful Sky Scout warriors in some aspects.
Perhaps it was the endless escape and dodging that made the Hebrewonian wolf let his guard down, and the pile of hay that roosted with a hint of his breath actually forgot to destroy it, so that the blonde man finally caught the trace.
As he walked out of the cave, the man's face was full of confident smiles, and he looked around to find his way. There was a wave of water ripples flowing on his body, and he was gradually covered by a layer of light cyan, shimmering metallic light armor, and the crystal clear wings appeared behind him again, the two wings were fully spread and more than ten feet long, and he waved down hard, almost unable to hear the wind, his body had left the ground, like a sharp arrow, and flew into the air, constantly flapping his wings, flying towards the north............!
.............................. Dividing line ..............................
The kingdom of Paddington has completely lost its former peace and tranquility, and the death of Audria's prince has caused great disaster. The towns in the northeast fell one after another, and the Golden Horn Legion of Audria, their accomplices, and the soldiers of the Duchy of Hanseasa showed no mercy to the Paddingtons, and burned and plundered everything. People had to leave their homes behind, and there were people fleeing and separated everywhere on the way to the royal capital of Padja.
From the defeat of General Suarez and the fact that he had to lead the remnants of his army to retreat to the royal capital, it was equivalent to giving up the territory northeast of Paddington. The Audria Empire did not border Paddington, and they did not look down on this barren country. The large tract of fertile and fertile land there has an irresistible power for the Luseatic Principality, which is located in the north and has a cold climate, and what is swallowed in the stomach will not be given up again...... Even if the Kingdom of Paddington survived the wrath of the Adria Empire, their national power would be greatly weakened, from the most powerful of the four countries around the Gravel Wastes to the weakest one.
King Korek had fallen ill and utterly decadent.
Originally, although he was also worried, there was always hope. Because the old Duke Jean and Dean Butters of the Academy had left the kingdom to do something extremely important, and when they hurried back to the royal capital with excitement on their faces, Corek was also excited to know ...... The two old men succeeded most of the time. Luckily, they deduced that there was likely to be a phantom beast somewhere, based on a news they had heard by accident. Ignoring the danger of trekking and being attacked by phantom beasts, the two old men searched for the place. I actually found the [Phantom Beast Flaminza] in a hidden place. To their surprise, the two flamingos, one female and one male, were already dead, and they had obtained two phantom crystals and a nest of flalamingo phantom eggs that had not yet hatched.
As the dean of the Padya Academy, one of the top ten magic academies in the mainland, although Dean Old Butters is just a great magician, no one knows that he has another identity ...... [magician].
Because the profession of magician exists for only one purpose, and that is to build and forge phantom crystal armor. So it can be said that this is a strategic-level profession, controlled by the mysterious and powerful Apocalypse Holy See, and even the Magician Association has to bow its head. Therefore, even if many magicians study the casting of Phantom Crystal Armor, they are still in secret.
Butters secretly has a good research on the composition and casting of Phantom Crystal Armor, and although he has never really touched Phantom Crystal or built a set of armor for so many years, he thinks that it is not a problem to build low-level Phantom Crystal Armor. With the illusion crystals of two low-level phantom beasts [Flaminga], he can finally show his strengths. -- Only later did he know that all this was his idea behind closed doors, and he had not explored the real illusion crystal armor, and he had not speculated through practice, even if it was true, he could not be completely convinced. Of course, he paid with his life, and there was no afterthought!
So when he and his old friend, Duke Jean, hurried back to the royal city of Padja, even if they learned that Paddington's catastrophe was imminent, they didn't care. As long as the illusion armor is successfully crafted, even the mighty Audria Empire will have to think carefully. After all, although the royal family and top nobles of the Audria Empire have a lot of Phantom Armor warriors, it does not mean that they can ignore the strength of a small country with two sets of Phantom Crystal Armor. If Paddington is pressed, it will be a headache for them to fight for their lives.
King Korek knew the importance of all this, so he completely handed over the command of defending the frontier to General Suarez at the beginning, and he mobilized all the resources of the kingdom and assigned all the royal contract merchants to find all the materials needed by Dean Butters, so that Butters could successfully forge the Phantom Crystal Armor as soon as possible!
The ideal is beautiful, and Dean Butters' process of constructing the armor is going very well...... First of all, smelt the demonic metal, forge the carrier belt, open the storage space, use various rare materials to create a conduction circle carrier inside, and then engrave the complicated magic arrays of various systems, and link them,............ A series of complicated procedures are completed, and in the end, all that is left is to inlay the phantom crystal, inject magical spiritual power or turn on the fighting spirit, it is considered a real success, and the accident happens at this time!
Dean Butters made a mistake in a place where it was extremely easy to go wrong, or the result of his closed-door work made him not think about it at all! The magic array on his armor carrier belt only had the ability to channel the magic of the phantom crystal and shape the armor, but he ignored that the power of the phantom beast was not peaceful, and even violent, even if it was a low-level phantom beast.
When Butters fastens his belt, he infuses his magical psychic power to open the Crystal Armor. There seemed to be a stream of fiery red flames flowing on his body, covering all the parts of his body that needed to be protected, and then the shimmering metallic luster stabilized, and an extremely special and powerful force surged, really forming a crimson armor.
In the Dean's Magic Tower, the most important people in Paddington witnessed this moment, and they were all excited and couldn't help themselves. It's a pity that happiness begets sorrow, and tragedy follows ..................!
