Chapter 52: Communication with Demons.
"We have no grievances with you, and now we are going to the imperial capital to help the Shurima people, are you sure you want to stop us?" Lan Yu asked in a calm tone.
"If Shurima loses the war with the Void, all living things will be devoured by the Void, and the immortal demons will also die after losing the evil thoughts of all things that are the source of power!"
As soon as the words fell, the crows hovering over the town fell to the ground. The ominous Blackbird tilted his head sideways, and all the Kusama people also began to tilt their heads sideways and began to think.
A voice sounded out of thin air in the air, like coming from the throat of a dying old man in a dry well: "Feder............ Tik ...... Uh-uh......"
What does that mean? is to put it in the beginning, Lan Yu tries to find clues from the plot.
There must be a catastrophe and a plague in war, and it is the best time for the demons to make waves, and it is impossible for Shurima not to be alert to this, and the existence of the demons is recorded in ancient books, and Shurima must know it.
Reasoning from the opposite direction, if the demons stir up trouble, Shurima will definitely send the Celestial Force to stay behind in the rear in case of contingency.
Historically, there were almost no Celestial warriors left behind. On behalf of Shurima, he is extremely relieved about the country, and the Celestial warriors who remain in the rear at this stage must have finally gone to the front line because of the war.
Just take a look at the Darkspawn Wars to understand that all the Celestial warriors have been polluted by the Void and have fallen into the Darkspawn. None of them were spared. The only two survivors were Nasus, and the special thing about the doghead was that he was a military and commander, equivalent to the chief of staff and deputy commander of Shurima's army, and even if the ascended one died, he couldn't let the doghead fight.
The second survivor was Azir, because the Desert Emperor had risen thousands of years after the Great Void War, and had not experienced that terrible war at all.
The explanation is that the demons did not do anything bad during the Void War, and maintained a neutral attitude. It is even possible to join the battlefield directly to help Shurima's army.
Lan Yu understood. Federtic is not stupid, and naturally understands the truth, but he is often controlled by instinct. The fear generated in the Void War was a fatal temptation for Federtic, who could barely control himself in the face of endless fear.
It's like all addicts know the dangers of taking drugs, but they just can't control their addictions. The demons, too, in the clash of instinct and reason, eventually won out to reason, maintaining a neutral attitude or a slight inclination towards Shurima's attitude.
A saturated meal and a full meal can still be clearly distinguished.
Blue Feather remembered the crow he had encountered on the Acacia Peninsula. The raven is more than just a symbol of Rameo (Ramo is the demon that resides in Svein's short hand, and Svein's power comes from him). At the same time, it is also a symbol of Federtic. Otherwise, why is the old version of Scarecrow's E skill a crow that bounces between enemies, and the ultimate is called Raven Storm?
It is very likely that the Scarecrow saw the horror of the void through the crows that inhabited the Aycasia Peninsula and realized the seriousness of the problem.
The atmosphere in the air became more and more eerie, and the people in the grass were standing in the misty alleys with their heads tilted, not saying a word. The mist slowly began to gather on the leaves into a column of water, dripping onto the ground.
When a drop of cold water dripped onto Blue Feather's nose, he finally couldn't help but want to ask Federtic what he meant.
After all, it was Federtic who opened his mouth first: "You guys...... Walk...... bar. ”
It's pretty smart. It turns out that you are not without brains. The two of them were muttering to themselves.
The fog began to clear from the streets, and one by one the crows flew into the air, flapping their wings and flying away. The Kusama people also disappeared one by one, and it seemed that they had never appeared in this world. Half an hour later, the midday sun shone into the town, adding a touch of life to the lifeless deserted streets.
Everything that just happened seemed to be going on in a dream.
Only the deserted church and the madman who lived in the back room proved that what had just happened. Without further ado, the two immediately rushed towards the imperial capital. It was only halfway through that they discovered the problem. The supplies brought down from the Darkstar have somehow been left in the town, and they haven't been seen since the fog cleared.
The Shurima Empire spans an entire continent, and even if it is disembarked on a coast that is relatively close to the core of Shurima, the distance is still relatively long. The inhabitants of the coast have fled since the Void erupted, and it is difficult to encounter settlements along the way. In addition, the hinterland of the Shurima Continent is an endless desert, and the desertification at the time of the Void War is not as serious as that of later generations, and it is still not to be underestimated.
If you want to cross the desert, you must have adequate provisions. The entropy ability can also resist hunger to some extent, but the feeling of hunger will not go away, and the taste is not pleasant. The two had to turn back to the town to collect some provisions.
It was only about a kilometer away from the town, and after ten minutes they turned back again. At a glance, you can see the golden rape flowers mixed with the green wheat fields, forming a beautiful spring picture, which makes people amazed.
Then I remembered that it was the height of spring in Acacia, and it was already early summer, and the wheat was growing vigorously, and it would not be long before the grain was filled and headed. There are also many scarecrows in the fields, because people are worried that the pest birds will come to the rice fields to steal the rice, so they tie up the straw, tie it into a human shape, and insert it in the rice field to deter those pest birds. The skeleton is a thin bamboo branch in a bamboo garden, and his muscles and skin are yellow straw in the next year, and after he fled, the farmland was abandoned, and many crows stood on the scarecrow, pecking and biting.
Federtic's Kusama people are based on them.
Seeing this situation, the two were reluctant to go back to the town again, who knows if Federtic would have convulsions and leave them behind again, the demon's reputation has not been good.
However, a figure ran from the field, and it was the middle-aged mad man. A bamboo basket on his back contained last year's wheat cakes, and when he saw the two of them, the man ran over with a smile on his face. He put the basket in front of them, and sat down on a stone in a daze.
"What is this?" Blue Feather was surprised.
The mad man seemed to understand what he meant, and gestured with his hands laboriously, indicating that it was for them. Lan Bing used his ability to communicate with him and confirmed what he meant.
Entertaining compatriots from afar is the work of the temple host, but I didn't expect that even a crazy man did not forget his responsibility.
"Thank you."
Lan Bing reminded the man that he should also gather some dry food and leave here, but was refused.
After all, it is difficult to leave the homeland.
