Chapter 68: The Forgotten Elves (Part II)
"Enemies?"
"Wait......"
Elliott grabbed a position ahead to stop Jonah. Signal him not to be impulsive and see what Jekon wants to do. I saw the red-haired man grasp the handle of the knife with both hands, and stabbed the serrated knife deep into the ground, as the muscles of his arm bulged, the ground made a piercing cracking sound, and the hardwood floor, which was as solid as metal and unscathed in the flood and blizzard, was ruthlessly cut by the famous knife Buddha's tooth, "Ping Pong!" A beautiful statue was shattered, fragments flew all over the room, and a broken hand bone rolled to Jonah's feet, the astrologer looked down and gasped.
The translucent material that looked like jade was actually ice, and the six statues were made of ice, and the broken elven statue was now revealing a tender pink hue, "This is?" Hannah bent down to pick up the severed hand and looked at it carefully, "Tick." A drop of pink liquid flowed from where her fingers touched it and fell gently to the floor.
"Please leave it behind, Miss Hannah. The Rose Knight suddenly spoke, "Corpses of unknown cause of death must be considered for the possibility of poisons, plagues, and curses, in case they are infected. ”
Hannah Stewart tossed the severed hand away, and the ice shattered from the surface of the flesh, revealing pale skin and torn stubble, the body had not yet begun to melt due to the extremely low temperature in the room. "Sure enough, it's corpse......s," Jonah muttered, "judging by their size, they should be elves, right, did someone kill them and make them into ice sculpture......s?"
"If it's been frozen here since the dawn of the Second Age, then this corpse is too fresh. "About four feet five inches tall, female, is it a thorn elf?"
The Rose Knight rode forward, the unicorn let out a low snort, and small green shoots began to grow on the ground, and soon small yellow flowers bloomed to cover the corpse, "The temperature is so low, you shouldn't have to worry about the spread of poison or plague." The knight's expression looked a little sad: "First of all, Miss Hannah is right, these six elves should have died three days ago, the low temperature prevented the corpses from decomposing, but the surface of the skin still inevitably appeared scarred. Secondly, the people who killed them were more cruel than you might think, Lord Jonah, these elves had been doused with cold water and frozen to death in the winds outside, and the twisting of their expressions and joints showed that they had endured great pain and were not relieved until the moment of death. In the end, these six are all female thorn elves, sacred elemental beings who have long since disappeared from history. ”
"The people who came here before us......" Jonah couldn't help but clench his fists. In the inaccessible Northern Continent, there could be no one else who came to the ruins of Lingol Pant Village a few days ago, it must be Long Zunjun and his five retinue! Could it be that the thorn elves hidden in the ruins were the target of their trip?
"Boom ......Rumble" Suddenly the whole room shook, and a large floor in the center of the council hall was cut open by Jekong, and the whole fell to the lower floor, and the red-haired man standing on it sank into darkness with a blank face. The Pitchfork's companions immediately gathered around, only to see Jerkon standing a few yards underneath, with a dark brown hemisphere at his feet, which seemed to be completely out of step with the delicate and elegant Elven architectural style.
Elliott said, "According to the structure of the elven village, the council chamber should be overhead underneath, with spiral staircases leading to the substructure on both sides, something like that...... It shouldn't exist. ”
"Is it steel?" asked Hannah.
"Not really. "There's no metallic texture, and it's not like wood or stone or anything." If you want to talk about this shape and material, it's more like Mr. Koshava's 'Garo Battle Shield', right?"
"Enchantment. The Rose Knight replied, "It's a kind of enchantment, a defensive enchantment created by a very powerful warlock, and because it has lasted for too long, it has solidified into something like a physical substance, so it can be said that it is the embodiment of magical power." ”
"How long will it take for this to be? three days?" asked the astrologer.
"More than a thousand years. The knight said.
"That's how the Thorn Elves escaped the catastrophe here, and it will be thousands of years to dodge?" the young man was taken aback, "It's a pity that Xiao Yu has already left the sealing jar in the day's battle, otherwise she would have been able to solve many questions." ...... And what's going on with the corpses out there? Can this barrier be opened?"
Elliott muttered, "It's almost impossible to force it open from the outside, and with the historical rift caused by the Second Ancient War, many spells and knowledge have been annihilated in time, and unless you find an equally powerful enchantment warlock, you can find a way to open it." It's easy to open from the inside, and the enchantment leaves a way to enter and exit in one direction. I think the last batch of people ......"
At this time, Yakong raised his long knife again and stabbed it at the brown enchantment sphere. A series ......of grinding sounds rang out, and the sharp serrated blade slid across the surface of the barrier, leaving only a shallow white mark. The southerner raised his knife blankly and glanced at it, and suddenly began to slash the barrier frantically, "Boom, Boom, Boom!Boom!" The violent slashing sound was deafening, and sparks flew everywhere, and Jonah hurriedly took a few steps back with the confused grasshopper in his arms, for fear of being accidentally injured.
“...... The last group of people also discovered this place and made the same attempt. The knight reached out, and Jonah looked into the fault in the floor, and saw a spiral staircase to the right of the sphere, which was supposed to lead to the next room, the art gallery of the elven village. There are traces of destruction on the edges of the staircase and the sphere, and it is not difficult to imagine the previous group of people being angry and wreaking havoc.
"So, what now, Eli?" Jonah looked up for help.
The knight did not refuse: "Your Excellency Jekong must have smelled something of interest, let him continue to search, and we will immediately light a fire to keep warm, prepare dinner, and alternate guard according to the camping formation." ”
"Understood. The boy nodded, "It's okay in the corner of this room, it looks like a few chairs are going to be damaged to make wood, these pieces of furniture are real works of art......"
At this time, the chanting of Sanskrit suddenly sounded at the barrier, "Nan Mo Ermando Bo Tuo Mu, Saba Ta Wei Mo Di Wei Lan Dharma, Jata, Boltur Sha Na ......" Jonah's face immediately turned pale, this is the chanting of Yakong's "Nine Lights" secret technique, this kind of incantation he had heard once before, it was a terrifying spell used at the junction of the Eastern Continent and the Northern Continent "Tianyuan" to cut off the crystal rainbow bridge of the president of the Astrology Association Bailang Yarivia, the proof of Yakong's strength by leaps and bounds.
"Don't, yes!" the boy jumped up and roared, "You're going to destroy the whole village! Don't do anything stupid!" At the same time, there was a strange fluctuation from the staff Syrafina, an undercurrent of uneasy energy that filled the air, and a large number of strange magical elements were gathering towards the barrier, and the black light outweighed the light of the illuminating star array. Through the hole in the floor, you can see the famous knife "Buddha's tooth" hanging in the air, surrounded by dense black charms, the long knife is twisting and moaning violently, the sawtooth file turns into a shattered afterimage of space, the red hair of the sword holding the sword is flying, and the skin of the hands holding the handle is bursting and bleeding, showing the terrifying power that continues to be difficult to grasp on the long knife.
"Vine Wall!" the Rose Knight shouted, and a large number of green vines appeared on the ground to form a defensive array, "Lord Jonah, come back quickly!" only to see the astrologer push Sibi towards the knight, and galloped towards Jekong with his staff in hand. Without the slightest hesitation, Hannah Stewart turned into a red afterimage to catch up with Jonah, "Hey, what do you want to do?" she asked, turning her head.
"Wake him up!" shouted the 17-year-old.
"Listen to you. The barrel of the big gun "Admiral" rotated, the steam-mechanical rattle, spewing blazing white smoke, the howling of the soul echoed in the pitch-black barrel, and the maximum output of the "ghost bullet" was about to be ready.
Jonah slammed his staff to the ground, took advantage of the momentum to stabilize his body, and as soon as his mind moved, the auxiliary circle of the belt Edinmont was immediately activated, and Lutarus, the skirt armor, turned into thousands of crimson feathers to cover the space, "Be brave." Be decisive. Be calm. Silently reciting the astrological proverbs, the staff began to ignite with the brilliance of the Annihilation Array, "Control the output energy, but also be threatening enough to attract Yakong's attention." This is the first time to use this star array in actual combat, you can't go overboard, you must not go overboard...... "His mental power is highly concentrated, and all his body and mind are indulged in the red and blue energy swirling in the star array, this star array is the latest work completed on the submarine. After a long conversation with his first mentor, Gilberto Gilberneon, Jonah suddenly figured out a lot of things, and sometimes it's so easy to see through the world, as long as you get out of it, you can see the whole picture.
The boy's astrology has always been based on the two diametrically opposed interstellar energies of 21-814 and 130-77, using the non-attribute energy of the "streamer" to neutralize the three annihilation structures, and what he is guiding at this time is a rather bold and improved version, the power of the "streamer" is no longer like the bark of a tree to protect the red and blue energy in its own way, but is wrapped around the energy stream, so that the annihilation is suppressed within a controllable range while constantly occurring. Jonah knew that he had been afraid of the power of annihilation, afraid that this unknown energy vortex would be out of his control, but at this time, there was no joy, no sorrow, no fear, no obstacle in his heart, and the explosion would happen, just as the three suns would rise into the sky, the vultures would peck at carrion, the rivers would run to the sea of divine blessings, people would age, and trees would decay, if destruction would happen, why not let it come early?—— the new star array was named "Zero Change!"
"Crack, pop, ......" bright light spread across the house, and a series of explosions constituted a trajectory of energy transmission, and countless fleeting whirlpools of annihilation appeared in the air, quickly attacking the sky. "Nine Light Secret Technique: Buddha Destroying Blade!" At the same time, the red-haired man's long knife slashed down towards the enchantment.
