Chapter 206: The History Behind the Black Death
The ancient city of Sam, the Temple of Heavenly Sword.
Behind sending Leo and Arcatel off the dragon, the magic of the ancient dragon king continued to shine, and his size began to shrink considerably.
When the light receded, at the top of the Heavenly Sword Temple, the huge flying dragon disappeared, and in its place was a "mini" flying dragon with a body length of no more than five meters.
"You're the Storm Dragon, Lord Samx?"
The Twilight Sword Saint bowed respectfully, uncertainty in his voice.
Even for him, the demigod Dragon King is a legendary existence, only glimpsed in the text picture scroll, and has never really seen it.
"Descendants of Lan Loyins......" The deep voice came into the ears of Leo, Acat, and the Twilight Sword Saint, and the miniature version of the Storm Dragon King did not speak, but the blue and yellow child eyes swept over the Twilight Sword Master, manipulating the air flow to form a voice: "You, and you, are not bad." ”
"Thank you, sir." The Twilight Sword Saint bowed his head.
At this moment, the heart of the Twilight Sword Saint had become very calm because of the shock so many times.
The success of the Holy Wind Parade has greatly exceeded his expectations.
Because of the mission, because of the legacy, it was impossible for him to refuse Acater's request for a ceremonial tour. But he also knew very well that it was almost impossible for the parade to succeed.
Even if he invited Leo, who had legendary combat power in half a step, to be the guardian of the Tour.
But the subsequent development shocked the jaw of the Twilight Sword Master.
His eyes almost popped out when he saw Leo defeat [Maid] in the picture and even block the blow of [Queen] in his heyday.
As a professional who has reached the limit of the full moon legend, he knows better than anyone how huge the gap between the full moon and the full moon is.
With the body of a half-step legend, it is outrageous enough to defeat a crescent legend as powerful as the eleven seats of the Kingdom Council [Swordsman], not to mention the subsequent killing of the [maid] at the peak of the moon and the blow of the full moon [queen].
Recalling Leo's sword that cut through the sea of clouds, the Twilight Sword Saint couldn't help but sigh in his heart: His Excellency Leo's original swordsmanship was already miraculous, and now he has gone one step further.
The Storm Dragon King Samx's eyes scanned the surroundings before finally stopping on Acate's body.
"The Pilgrim of the First Winds, the last descendant of Ranloins...... In keeping with the ancient covenant, I give it to you. ”
As he spoke, an ancient scale that emitted a pure blue shimmer flew towards Acat:
"This is my Ancient Scale, instilled with the magic blessed by the 'First Wind', which can summon me to descend for a total of three chances. After three times, the ancient scales will be broken, and I will also return to the Dragon Tomb, use it with caution. ”
After saying that, the Storm Dragon King Samkx looked at the Twilight Sword Saint, "Can you allow me to pause in this city for a while?" ”
"Lord Dragon King is free, you can stay as long as you want, the ancient city of Sam welcomes your arrival, you see, do you need me to arrange a resting place for you?"
Hearing this, the Storm Dragon King Samx shook his head slightly: "No, you can just go and get busy." ”
With that, the miniature dragon body of the Storm Dragon King Sammux turned into cyan particles of magic light and disappeared here.
"Hoo ......"
After the Storm Dragon King Sammux left, the atmosphere at the top of the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary suddenly eased a lot.
Even if the other party did not show malicious intent, or even behaved extremely kindly, the existence of a demigod-level powerhouse was in itself an unparalleled deterrent to low-level professionals.
Even if he was as strong as the Twilight Sword Master, when he stood beside the Storm Dragon King, he felt extremely depressed.
That feeling is like standing on the side of an abyss, even if you know that as long as you don't move, you won't fall, but when a gust of wind blows, you still can't help but feel nervous in your heart.
"Congratulations, two excellent knights."
After finishing his state, the Twilight Sword Master looked at Leo and Arcater and said.
Acater shook his head: "It's all up to Mr. Li's help, if I were alone, I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to go to the first stop town." ”
"The meaning of the Guardian of the Pilgrimage is to protect the Pilgrim to the finish line, isn't it?"
Leo said this, and cast his gaze to the far south, at this moment, the pitch-black pillar of light that penetrated the sky was slowly dissipating, but the black mist that diffused from the crack was getting thicker and thicker, and unknown.
Leo asked with a solemn face:
"Lord Twilight Sword Saint, what do you mean by 'Black Death' just now?"
Acater also turned his gaze to the Twilight Sword Master, the term "Black Death", he had heard of it for the first time, and just hearing the name made people feel a strong sense of unease.
"Black Death Plague...... Twilight Sword Saint refocused his gaze on the south of the ancient city of Sam, his face was calm: "That is a disaster that should not have broken out at this time. ”
Facing Leo and Arcat's puzzled gazes, he paused and began to explain:
"The first time the Black Death plague appeared was at the end of the Five Hundred Years Demon God War."
"At that time, the black fog began to spread in a small area from the extreme south of the continent, because of the small scale, it did not attract much attention, but soon, people found out that something was wrong."
"Wherever the black fog passed, a mutation was born, and a terrible plague called the Black Death began to spread."
"People infected with the Black Death will develop black abscesses all over their bodies, and in just a day or two, the abscesses will festering and die, and then they will turn into bloodthirsty and crazy monsters - the Black Dead."
"Even the black dead who are alienated from ordinary people, their bodies are as hard as steel, they are not afraid of pain, even if they dig out their hearts and lungs, cut off their hands and feet, they still can't kill them, the only way to kill them is to smash their brains, otherwise, even if there is only one head left, they will continue to launch a crazy attack."
"The black dead who are alienated by professionals are even more terrifying existences, and it often takes three or four professionals of the same level to encircle and suppress them before they can be sure to solve it. Compared with ordinary people, simply professionals are less likely to be eroded by the black fog and become monsters, but if they are in the black fog environment for a long time, even if they are extraordinary, they are at risk of being eroded, and only the legends of their own fields can ignore the influence of the black fog. ”
"But the great Winsted, how many legends are there? What's more, there is a phenomenon of devouring each other among the Black Dead, which will produce high-risk mutants whose strength is comparable to that of legends. Even, in the depths of the black fog, there are even more strange and terrifying breeding creatures. ”
"As time passed, the black fog spread, covering almost one-third of Winsted's land, and millions of waves of black dead engulfed all living beings."
"In the end, the first generation of wind gods united with many demigods, paid a heavy price, repelled the disaster of the black death, and sealed the remnants of the army of the black dead into the [Heavenly Abyss] in the extreme south of the continent."
"[Tianyuan] has an extremely powerful seal on it, but the power of the black mist should not be underestimated, in order to ease the pressure of the seal, every hundred years, the Tianyuan seal will automatically open a gap, in order to release the backlog of black mist."
"This is a very effective method, the harm caused by a small amount of black fog can be easily removed, and in the next four hundred years, the black fog basically did not bring any major disasters."
"But all that, fifteen years ago, changed dramatically."
"The first generation of the Wind God and the first king of Winsted disappeared innocently, and the Heavenly Abyss Seal before the time reached opened several gaps in advance, and a large amount of black mist swept out, engulfing millions of living beings in the southern part of the Western Continent."
"The army of the Black Dead is back, and the legends of the first wind god and the first king are hard to talk about. At the critical moment, the second son of the first wind god, [Sun God of War], stepped forward and took over the heart of the wind god, which symbolizes the authority of the wind god, from the top of the wind god tower, and succeeded the second generation of the wind god, and then led the demigods and legends to resist the disaster of the black death. ”
"But what was expected to be a very tragic battle ended in an unusually quick way."
"The [Sun God of War], who has never shot in front of the world, has shown his unparalleled strength, and with his own strength, he has killed the twelve demigod-level breeders who came out of the cracks in the black mist."
"Such a terrifying combat power is not even much inferior to the original Fengshen."
"Wherever the sun shines, the black mist disappears."
"The army of the Black Dead was beaten back to [the Abyss] and re-sealed."
"It's just that for some reason, after this shocking war, the second generation of Fengshen never appeared in the eyes of the world again, and not even a word of news came out."
"Five years later, three generations of wind gods succeeded to the throne, and after the replacement of the old and new wind gods, the network formed by the magic net covered the entire sky over Winsted."
"This is before and after the Black Death disaster, it stands to reason that it will be at least more than eighty years before the reinforced [Heavenly Abyss] Seal will be opened, and now...... Judging from the scale of the Black Mist Pillar, it's not as simple as cracking a small hole and releasing the pressure normally......"
The Duskwind Sword Master's face was solemn.
"Why haven't I ever heard of such a big thing?" Acater asked, surprised.
"Of course you can't know." The Twilight Sword Saint shook his head: "Where the black fog passes, all living beings are wiped out, except for legends and a few transcendental, there is no living mouth, naturally there will be no news coming out, and the regions that have not been harmed by the black fog have been strictly sealed and controlled, so the disaster of black death is almost taboo under the legend." ”
"So what do we do now?" Arcater frowned.
"Wait and keep." The Twilight Sword Saint shook his head indifferently: "The horror of the Black Death, you have not faced it personally, it is difficult to understand it with words alone, it is not a disaster that can be resisted by individual strength. All we can do is protect the ancient city of Sam. ”
"The ancient city of Sam is the closest city to [Tianyuan] in Wensted today. All the cities south of the ancient city of Sam have been destroyed in the Black Death more than ten years ago. Now, in three days at most, the army of the Black Dead will sweep in front of the ancient city of Sam. ”
Hearing this, Acater's complexion froze suddenly.
What a terrible catastrophe can destroy so many cities and cause so many lives to be lost?
Just thinking about it sends chills down Acat's body.
For a moment, he was a little hesitant.
Even after completing the Celestial Parade and becoming a legend, he still seems to be no different from the past, unable to do anything in the face of the "darkness" that hits.
At this moment, Acater felt a pair of thick hands pressed on his shoulders, and the familiar breath calmed his flustered heart at once.
It's Mr. Lee!
Beside Acate, Leo quietly listened to the Twilight Sword Master's account of the "Black Death", and his face did not change in the slightest during the whole process.
Black Death may sound very similar to aberration, but it is far less polluting than aberration.
As long as they are not exposed to the black fog for a long time, the professional will not be eroded.
Moreover, the fact that the black mist can be repelled and sealed shows that although it is terrifying, it is not without a way to deal with it.
Compared with the disaster of the sinking of living beings such as aberration, the disaster of black death is not at the same level at all.
Having said that, the disaster of the Black Death is not to be underestimated.
From the words of the Twilight Sword Saint just now, it can be known that in the depths of the black mist, there are breeding creatures with demigod-level strength.
Now that Leo has been promoted to a celestial, although he can easily defeat the Legend of the String Moon, he is not an opponent in the face of the Legend of the Full Moon, let alone a demigod-level existence.
After thinking for a moment, Leo looked at the Twilight Wind Sword Saint and said in a deep voice, "Sword Saint, in case, I mean, if the three generations of Wind God and the Kingdom Council don't have the idea of rushing to the aid of Sam Ancient City, then we ...... Do you need to be prepared for an evacuation? ”
"It's too late." The Twilight Sword Saint shook his head, "Do you know how many inhabitants there are in the ancient city of Sam? A whole half a million. It is an extremely large amount of work for so many people to want to migrate in a short period of time. Moreover, the footsteps of ordinary people are not as good as those of the black dead at all, and it is only a matter of time before they are caught up. ”’
"Instead of fleeing, it is better to hold on to the ancient city of Sam." ’
"The quadrangular walls of the ancient city of Sammu have been strengthened by the city lords of the past generations, and they are very tough, and the magic patterns engraved on them can also unfold the magic barrier, as long as the magic power is enough, it is impossible for the black dead to enter the city. In addition, there are also a series of backgrounds in the ancient city of Sam, which are enough to withstand a long period of time until the arrival of support. ”
"Rest assured, the three generations of wind gods will never give up the ancient city of Sam."
"Putting aside the origin of the ancient city of Sammu and the original wind god, the geographical location of the ancient city of Sammu alone is very important."
"To the south of the ancient city of Sam, all the way to [Tianyuan], there are thousands of mountain blades on both sides, and the upward terrain that gradually shrinks and narrows in the middle, unless the ancient city of Sammu is broken, it will be difficult for the army of the black dead to set foot in the vast land of Winsted."
"Once the ancient city of Sam is lost, the army of the black dead and the black mist will erode to the entire territory of Wedge, and it will not be so simple to solve the disaster of the black death at that time."
After listening to the words of the Twilight Sword Master, Leo nodded knowingly.
Indeed, even if he was the ruler of Wedge, it would be impossible to give up such an important "outpost city".
In this way, the ancient city of Sam only needs to hold out for a short time, and it doesn't even have to wait for the army of the Black Dead to arrive before reinforcements arrive.
There's no need to worry too much.
After all, even if the reinforcements have not arrived, the strength of the Twilight Sword Saint, who holds the inheritance artifact [Storm Aria], is far beyond the full moon legend in the general sense, plus a demigod-level super elder, the Storm Dragon King Sammux, is located in the city, and it is really the arrival of the Black Death army in the city, with the origin of the ancient city of Sammu and the Dragon King, the Storm Dragon King will most likely not stand idly by.
