Chapter 51: Team up for a dungeon, there's a tuba belt!
Just when Vance and his subordinates were catching up, in the dense forest hundreds of miles away from them, a man with long white curly hair and a cross scar on his cheek was beaten up by a group of ragged guys who looked like refugees, and the man couldn't help but smile bitterly: "This perception is too keen, and it will be discovered when you get a little closer..." And then rushed to the crowd!
Not long after, a sigh came from the shadows in the distance: "Alas, I really can't help fighting, and I have to go out in person, it's really troublesome! The regiment commander is drinking a little wine happily now, right? What a envy, I also think that I don't have to do anything, I just drink!"
"By the way, Commander, what about Hercules? Didn't he come too? I heard him complain that he couldn't sleep lately~~" Vukita looked around, but didn't see the figure that should have appeared. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"He's stalking, I guess he's complaining about not having any alcohol to drink at this time, hehe!" Vance smiled, and then his expression became serious, "I came to you this time because the situation is very tricky, I can't solve it alone, in fact, several of you, including me, are just deputies, and the main force this time is this-" Vance directed the eyes of the five people to the old man behind him, "Master 'Everfree Gate' Erist!"
As soon as Vance's voice fell, they heard the sound of inhalation, and the five of them were shocked! This old man who was not good-looking turned out to be the top figure standing on the top of the continent! It seems that he is still familiar with the head of the regiment, what has the head of the regiment done all these years? After the surprise, the mood of the five people also became solemn, after all, a high-ranking king personally went out to this remote place where birds don't shit, and asked the head of the regiment to help, such a lineup of the head of the regiment is not at ease, with his ass to think that this time is not a good errand! But with the character of the regimental commander, they couldn't do this kind of behavior to pit their own people, so they all turned their eyes to Vance.
Vance of course knew very well what his former subordinates thought, he smiled, as if talking to himself: "12 years ago, I took Denisha to Dulian to see if I could enter the academy to study, it was at that time that I got acquainted with Master Earest, and Dinisha was also able to enter the Maitwyne Academy to study, I didn't want to owe favors, so I took the initiative to ask to participate in the investigation of the massacre that had a great impact at that time: in just half a month, more than three hundred villages were slaughtered, and none of them survived!" Originally, it was one of the master's best apprentices who was in charge of the investigation, and his strength was very good, but he disappeared during this investigation, and the village slaughter incident was still happening! Soon, I found the pattern of the case- The origin chapter is a poem describing the journey of the sage and his 12 apprentices on the continent, and the murderer slaughtered the village according to the route described in the first chapter, and the murderer was only the last one to complete the first chapter, so I, who was extremely conceited about my strength, chose to wait alone in the seventh village, which was not yet victimized, which was less than two hundred miles away from the last place of the first chapter: the holy land of Frank Hill, waiting for the murderer to appear," Vance paused for a moment and took a deep breath,
"My speculation came true, I saw a group of homeless people, but this is just the appearance, hidden behind the homeless, is an indescribable black beast, from the body of 'it' gushing out of the fierce malice, let me fall into an ice cave, that is the undoubted power of the royal rank! I looked at 'it' from a distance, my body couldn't help but tremble, I wanted to escape, but I couldn't move my legs, but I was getting closer to 'it' little by little, the closer I been' The faster it loses the power in its body, and in the end, it can't even lift its hands, and without even touching the monster with its fingertips, it has already fallen weakly, and even polluted by the power of the beast, and was manipulated by it to attack the master!"
"Luckily, I was saved by the master, in order to expel the malice in my body, I had to give up most of my strength, and the rank fell to the edge of the water rank, and the power of the black beast was too weird, I couldn't be sure that I was safe, and the monster became a lingering shadow in my heart, I always woke up from nightmares, always trembling, nervous. I am no longer suitable to lead the team in any way, and there must be other masterminds behind the black beast, for the sake of safety, so I had to change my name and find a remote place to hide, until today, 'it' reappeared!"
Vance looked at the crowd and pleaded earnestly: "This operation is very dangerous, I know that I am selfish in doing so, this is my own responsibility, my unfinished business. But I am not strong enough to stop 'it' from harming people again, and you are my most trusted partner and my strongest backup, I don't know who else can give me confidence but you!"
After everyone listened to Vance's pleading, their frowning brows relaxed, everyone smiled, doting and helplessly looked at Vance, and Vance's shoulder was punched, "Haha, that's right, we are the strongest team in the regiment, if you don't look for us, who can you find?"
Only Uritaun, who was the most qualified, looked at Vance with stern eyes, and waited for Vokuta to finish speaking before he slowly spoke: "Young Master, you also said that even you were powerless to fight against that monster back then, so even if you add a few of us now, what are the chances of winning? Isn't it sent to death?!"
The other four looked at the old man in surprise, completely unexpectedly that the head of the regiment who had brought up the regiment since childhood, regarded him as his own son, and spoiled him the most, would reprimand him.
Vance was not as surprised as they were, although the old man doted on him, but he was also very strict with him, otherwise he would not have been able to achieve such an achievement at a young age with his character, and the old man's stern eyes made him more reassured.
At this time, Erist couldn't help but come forward to explain: "Don't worry, I made all preparations before I came this time, I have set up a magic circle around here, and your task this time is to hold the nodes of the magic circle on the periphery, you only need to resist any attack that may destroy the sealing magic circle." ”
After listening to this, Uritaun nodded silently. Then he suddenly walked up to Alice, bowed to her, and Alice was at a loss, only to hear the old man say: "Thank you, beautiful lady, it is really hard for you! It is an honor for the stupid young master of my family to be favored by you!"
"Ah, no, uncle, you have praised you!" Alice replied shyly, then squinted at Vance triumphantly.
"Huh?!"
Different from the free and diverse environment of Harbank, the Liao people are very dedicated in terms of religious beliefs, the Liao people believe in the god of the sky, Ouranos, they believe that in ancient times, the Liao is a desert full of death, it is the breath of Ouranos that brings wind and rain, moistens the dry earth, it is he who gave the ancestors the ability to fly, let them sow seeds on this land, so that it becomes a green land full of vitality, and the original meaning of "Liao" is "green".
Although many people have long questioned the existence of gods, after all, gods have never really existed, at least in known history, and the mysteries of magic mastered by warlocks are believed to be comparable to so-called miracles, most people still believe in gods. As a cult of the gods with universal believers in Liaodi, there are temples of the gods in many places, especially the temples of the gods in the capital of Husi Wangdu are magnificent in scale and richly decorated, and they are landmark buildings. The hall was built for the royal family, so it was usually deserted, and there was only one young man standing in the inner hall of the main hall, quietly gazing at the sculpture that symbolized the god of the sky. A high priest cautiously followed him, pursed his lips and said nothing.
I don't know how long the young man watched it, and suddenly burst out laughing! And it was obviously just laughter, but the high priest behind him always felt that the laughter was full of ridicule, but he did not dare to make a sound at all, for fear of disturbing the young man in front of him.
"Oh, God... During the Ashes Rebellion, the clans were intimidated by the incomprehensible destructive power of the two monsters, and named them 'gods' and called them 'demon gods', but after all, they were just empty shells with great power, and eventually fell into the hands of the clans. Only when you have seen that person, nay, that kind of existence, will you understand how ridiculous the so-called 'God' is!"
It was a taboo for a young man to say such a thing in the Temple of the Heavenly Gods, but his arrogant performance was ignored by the high priest behind him, who bowed his head and pretended to be stupid as if he hadn't heard anything, because this young man was the current emperor who was in charge of the most powerful power in the Liao Kingdom: Gortan Jerokosias Bronstein!
"How's the ritual going, Archie?" said Gortan, who suddenly turned his head and asked the High Priest behind him.
"Back to Your Majesty, the number of souls is still a little short, and it seems that someone has interfered in the collection task. The high priest whispered with some uneasiness on his face.
Gortan was silent for a while when he heard this, and then said lightly, "Who are they?"
Archie became even more nervous when he saw the emperor's reaction like this, and he couldn't stop sweating on his sideburns. He knew the ambitious young emperor all too well, and the calmer he became, the more angry he became, and he had to be careful not to be angered by a rage, and that he would die. So he quickly organized his words, and said thoughtfully: "There are two people in total, a man and a woman, and the observer team found that they have been following the route of the ritual since the fourth sacrifice point, and rushed to the fifth sacrifice point before it started, so it can be confirmed that they are coming for the ceremony!"
