42. Eclipse Short Knife
The Knight in Armor didn't refute it, and seemed to acquiesce to Sir Mercy's guess. Since they were not enemies, the tension was lifted in an instant, and everyone returned to the camp together, trying to figure out why Vic was here.
Since Vic can't speak, it's difficult to communicate, but Ash knows what happened.
After Vic was burned while trying to get in touch with the mad fire, he returned to the snowy mountains to find his shrine maiden. As a result, they met the Flame Watchers, who had been monitoring the movements of the giant flames for generations and keeping the Golden Tree safe.
As a result, although Vic was injured by the mad fire, he was still rejected by the watchers and sealed here. Millicent accidentally touched the seal and let him out.
"Flame Watcher?"
"Is it related to the Flame Cultivator?"
Ash asks Sir Baizhi, trying to figure out their relationship, after all, the Firewoman was once worshipped as a saint by the group.
"Yes, they are actually an organization, but the Flame Cultivators have fallen."
"When the Golden Tree first came, it belonged to an external force, and it was surrounded by enemies on all sides."
"The flame of the giant is the greatest danger, so the goddess Marika personally conquered the snow-capped mountains. After the victory, he ordered people to build a watch tower to monitor the movement of the flames. ”
"These people are the Flame Watchers."
"It's a pity that over time, although they are the watchers, they are also the ones closest to the flames."
"Some of them couldn't resist the temptation of the power of flames, and they became martial cultivators who worshiped flames."
"There is also a branch of these flame cultivators, Black Flame Cultivators!"
"The Black Flame of the Divine Skin Apostle is more powerful than the flames, so these people tried to cultivate the Black Flame, and in the end they were divided into two factions, both of which were mortal enemies."
After listening to Sir Baizhi's introduction, Ash suddenly realized, no wonder the fire girl said that there was a conflict between the red-clothed flame cultivator and the black-clothed martial artist, and this was the reason. “
Now that Vic is free, he is ready to find the witch who once guided him, and the ashes will not be left behind, allowing him to disappear into the snow.
After experiencing Vic's incident, everyone didn't feel sleepy, and they talked until dawn.
With the residual warmth of the fire, I had a simple breakfast.
Continue to the city of Thor.
It may be that all the troubles have been crowded together, but now the journey is actually smooth, and it is not yet noon, and the ashes and his party are already standing at the gate of Thor City.
Without delay, everyone went directly into the city, and sure enough, as said before, the city was unattended. Everywhere was in tatters and dusty.
However, as Ash was about to go up the stairs to the rampart to observe the terrain first, a dark shadow flashed and knocked Melina to the ground.
It was a huge lion with a huge scimitar strapped to its front legs, like a falcon in Stoneville, which was deliberately designed at first glance.
Millicent, who was very close to Melina, had already drawn her sword at this time, and Ou He's sword dance threw it, hitting the lion's eye accurately.
Under the great sting, the instinct of the beast attacked, and the lion abandoned his target, rolling on the ground in pain.
Ash was about to go to help, when another lion stopped him.
Fortunately, Melina was only knocked down and was not injured. And the first lion is already blind in one eye, and his combat power has been doubled, so it should be no problem to hand it over to the two girls.
Ash turned back and began to deal with the guy in front of him.
The lion was very cautious, slowly wrestling with the ashes, and did not take the initiative to attack.
In this case, Ash is not polite, and directly starts to throw magic.
Against such a large animal, a single powerful magic is not very effective, such as [Soul Arrow].
Although it hurts a lot, it's too slow, and there's a ridiculous scene so far.
Ash is like an animal trainer, with a shot of magic, and a lion jumps once, making it like a circus.
Looking at the corners of Sir Baizhi's mouth twitching beside him, he probably couldn't help laughing.
Ash immediately changed his strategy and directly released the [Destruction Meteor], which was still a spell taught by Cersei, and Ash had never used it.
Unexpectedly, the effect was unexpectedly good.
A large number of pyroxene erupted from the ash's hands like meteors, and then began to track the lion.
No matter how the lion jumps, there will always be a time when he will settle down, and he will still eat half of the damage.
Seeing that it was so effective, Ash stretched out his hands and directly released two [Destruction Meteors] again, and the lion was directly beaten into dice.
Sir Hundred Wisdom looked at the fact that Ash could cast spells with both hands, and put two [Destruction Meteors] at a time, and suddenly felt that it was too stupid to be the enemy of Ash.
After the ashes finished solving the lion in front of him, Millicent's side also stopped fighting, probably because it was a little embarrassing to be pounced by the lion at first, after Melina got up, all kinds of attacks were frantically output, and it seemed that she vented her dissatisfaction on the lion. Therefore, this lion is worse than the ash one.
After taking care of the lion, Ash immediately understood that although the city was unmanned, he could not be careless, and he still took it step by step.
Ascending the city walls, looking north, the tallest building in Thor City is impressively ahead, and it is also the place where the runes of the sacred tree are most likely to be hidden.
The crowd marched along the city walls, but when they came to the front of a church building, they were blocked from the way and had to jump down the roof.
Originally, Ash was not going to enter this church building, who knows if there were any moths inside.
As a result, Sir Hundred Wisdom raised his mouth, and the church was also very suspicious, and it was possible that the runes of the sacred tree were enshrined as holy relics.
In order not to skip it, the ashes can only enter the church.
There was no holy tree rune inside, but there was no ambush either.
Only a pale soul knelt in the center, and Ash tried to converse, only to have the soul repeat a sentence over and over again.
"Only by defiling the sun can the sacred tree return."
The Sacred Tree is mentioned, presumably related to Michaela, but it can't be communicated, and the ashes can only be left to him.
Sir Brook was the first to walk out of the church, Ash followed, Melina was last, and came out with a delay.
When he came out, he still had a short knife in the shape of a sickle in his hand.
This made everyone very curious, and Melina waved her short knife.
"You only cared about that soul, and ignored this knife, which was placed on the altar, and I looked good, so I took it."
"Is there anything special about this short knife, I mean other than the shape?"
Melina didn't answer, but swung it violently, causing black flames to ignite on the surface of the dagger.
The weapon with the black flame is really not simple.
Then Melina took out her short knife in her left hand, and with a sudden swing, a golden flame of light attached to the surface.
Ash looked at this shape, and it was amazing.
Jin Yan in the left hand, black Yan in the right hand!
