Chapter 35: The Army of Tigers and Wolves

readx; In the history of magic, defensive xing magic occupies a very important place, so to speak, and it is only after the birth of defensive xing magic that the status of the mage is truly established. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info

According to the effect, the defense of xing magic can be divided into three categories, that is, pure physical xing defense, such as holy shield, skin hardening, pure magic xing defense, such as absolute shielding, and magic that can defend against both physical attacks and magic attacks, of course, this double defense magic for a single genus of xing defense and pure xing defense magic has a certain gap.

There is also a fourth type of magic that can also be classified as defensive xing magic, which does not defend against the attack itself, but reduces the chance of being attacked or the chance of hitting or the speed of dodging, such as luck, obscurity, stealth, swiftness, etc.

Each system of magic has its own unique defense magic, and from the perspective of effect, the best defense against physical xing is divine magic, and the best defense against magic xing is dark magic.

Different spells can be added to the same person, and the same spells can be added to each other, and the same magic blessings can be applied to the same person, covering each other, whichever is the defense generated by the last blessing.

Any defensive xing magic has its upper limit and duration, and when it is continuously attacked, the defensive power generated by the magic will fade little by little, and eventually lose its effect completely. If you are suddenly attacked by a huge external force, it may burst like a soap bubble in an instant.

Chapter 35: The Master of the Tiger and Wolf "To be honest, I'm really not ready to give you the secret ring. Amy said as she turned the ring, thought for a moment and said something that made the thief even more angry: "Even if I keep it, it's useless." ”

"Why?" "What are these words? Isn't this annoying? The old man's face changed immediately, and he couldn't wait to flip the table and point at Amy's nose and scold: "If it weren't for supporting the little mercenary group, why would His Royal Highness Lin Yushang fall out with Princess Bi from the same door? If it weren't for this position, why would the Magic Empire split into the Eastern and Western Empires? If it wasn't for Your Excellency, why ......?"

Amy always had a faint smile on her face, as if she were talking about someone else. After the thief finished speaking, Amy's gentle words began to fight back: "If Princess Bi becomes the sole power of the Magic Empire, how sure are Your Excellency and the late Chief Elder that the Magic Empire will not become a tool for the Western Emperor to fight for the world? Is the Magic Empire preparing to restore the country by itself? Or is it preparing to become someone else's minions? If this is the solution, hehe, the word cunning rabbit dead lackey cooking is tailor-made for the Magic Empire, back then, the gods raised the Magic Empire in order to deal with the dwarf kingdom, and now...... Very familiar scene......"

The thief was stunned again and again, his eyebrows towering.

"Isn't that weird?" Amy looked at the Wind Magus and then at the Water Magister, "I'd like to ask a few questions, and if you can answer them all, then it doesn't hurt for me to give it to you." ”

"Your Excellency is really idle, you can say it. "The attitude of the thief is not good. It's no wonder that the Eastern Magic Empire has just been established, and there are so many things to do every day, in this case, the first national policy formulated by Lin Yushang is: integrate the magic legion as soon as possible and prepare to participate in the war. Why did they join the war, does this need to be said? Is it not for the sake of the small mercenary group? Besides, if it weren't for the small mercenary group, would Lin Yushang and Chu Liuxiang put down what they were doing and rushed thousands of miles to the bank of the Sanggan River?

"First, when the Ancient Magic Empire was established, was there a Dark Ring?"

The thief thought for a moment and replied affirmatively, "No." "27 Many years after the formation of the Jedi Great Elders, the Dark Ring came out.

"Second, when the Ancient Magic Empire was established, were there nine Jing Spirits?"

"Nope. ”

"Third, with the strength of the two magic empires today, can they challenge the four major families, the Dwarven Kingdom, the Jing Spirit Kingdom, and the original Anti-Magic Alliance?"

The thief shuai thought about it for a long time, especially thinking of the list of participants announced by the little mercenary group and the pirate king not long ago, and shook his head: "No." ”

"Then what's the use of me giving you the ring, is it so hard to defeat the Magic West Empire?"

"However, if we have this ring, we can have hundreds of Magisters in the shortest possible time......"

"The shortest amount of time?" Amy interrupted the thief, "Even the best great mage will need nearly a hundred days to fully master the power of the realm. Believe it or not, as long as this ring is handed over to you, perhaps, before you return to the Blue Island, the Western Magic Empire and many forces will launch a full-scale attack, and even ...... Many hostile forces will abandon their old suspicions. ”

The look on the old magister's face was already ugly, and ink was dripping.

"There is a saying that I have always appreciated: sweat your own sweat and eat your own food. Relying on heaven and earth and relying on ancestors, he is not a hero. Amy said as she took out three very thick booklets: "Back then, the two founders of the Magic Empire created such a big fortune from scratch, and they were great, so the Magic Empire could last for 2,000 years. At that time, they had three books in their hands, but the current Magic Empire did not, and I, according to my own memory, probably wrote them down, there must be incompleteness, but there will not be too many shortcomings. It should be a little bit of my heart to give it to you. ”

Doubts fluttered on the old face of the thief's orange peel, but thinking about the performance of the gray robe on the blue island, he still took the book suspiciously, and before he opened it and looked at it carefully, just the title of the book had already made the old magician exclaim.

"Spice Charm Magic Array Dictionary", "Reading Micro Encyclopedia Supplement Complete Collection", "Magic Elements Jing Ling Detailed Table".

Oh my God, this ...... This...... Legend has it that the Magic Emperor and Skywalker's mentor, the Eternal King, also gave these three books to his two apprentices. The thief would never have imagined that the young man in front of him was the master of the two founding magicians back then.

This...... It can't be a fake, right? The thief was careful, and turned directly from the last page forward, reading hundreds of pages at a glance. "Your Excellency...... This...... Where did this come from?"

"The three seniors under the Messis Snow Mountain gave it to me, including the Li Du pen. Unfortunately, I accidentally lost the original book. These three books and Li Dubi's pen should be returned to the Eastern Magic Empire. ”

The thief was a little crying and laughing, it was obviously the Magic Empire's own thing, but he returned it with a gesture, and he still hoped that the Magic Empire would be grateful to Baide?

"Thank you. Lin Yushang spoke on the side.

The thief didn't understand what the Chief Elder was doing.

"If I had to choose the same among the three books of the Dark Ring, the Nine Great Jing Spirits, I would not hesitate to choose these three books. When Lin Yushang said these words, he was facing the thief: "Even if the Dark Ring and the Nine Great Jing Spiritual Energy continue to cultivate mages, due to the lack of knowledge of magic, the level of all mages and archmages is a lifelong gap from the predecessors of the Ancient Magic Empire. Princess Bi and I have not studied for a long time under the Macis Snow Mountain, let alone studied systematically, and these three books can just make up for the shortcomings in this. ”

After thinking about it, Lin Yushang added: "The Magic Emperor and Skywalker were able to finally create the Dark Ring under the guidance of these three books. I thought, we can't if we don't try, you say?"

The thief's old face turned red, he was angry just now, he really didn't think in this direction, and nodded quickly.

Amy reluctantly smiled at Lin Yusheng.

"Are you ready for the agreement with His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King?" Lin Yushang asked in a soft voice, the girl had experienced too many things, and compared to the first year of the magic calendar, she seemed to be a completely different person.

Amy smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Five-five, that's all." ”

"That'...... What if something happens to His Majesty the King?" the thief almost jumped to the side.

"If it weren't for Amy and Daqingshan, I might not have been able to get out of the ice and snow forest. Without Amy bringing out the magic keys of the three old elders, I wouldn't have been able to enter the Macess Snow Mountain. What's more, until now, my name is still on the roster of the little mercenary group. It is difficult to say goodbye to reason. There is no need to say more about this later. Lin Yushang said word by word.

Amy wasn't worried at all, he knew Lin Yushang too well about this girl, and the word "going to the woods" seemed to be inherently prepared for the Lin family.

On March 18, the eighth year of the magic calendar, according to the prior agreement, the small mercenary group and the pirate king family participated in the battle, and the soldiers went to the camp. Neutral forces such as the Mercenary Guild and the Thieves Guild entered the two camps for review from that day, and of course, the main audit was the officer cadres. This process is led by the thieves' guild, the thieves' eyes are quite poisonous, and the memory is very good, due to the needs of the profession, they have a good impression of the mercenary world's superb, more than 200 thieves patrol the camp next to the tent, there will be basically no dead ends.

This kind of routine inspection is not innovative: in ancient times, from the duel between two people to a large-scale duel between tens of thousands of armoured warriors, most of them would have such a routine, and if it was a small-scale duel, there would even be a notary to examine in detail the weapons, equipment, etc. of all the people involved in the war, and the two sides of the decisive battle would also check each other's weapons to ensure absolute fairness. And in this routine inspection, the belligerents, who are about to die to the death, must restrain themselves and make sure that everything they say and do is like a real nobleman - after all, such battles, duels, and decisive battles are only things that can only happen between real nobles.

At this time, neither the small mercenary group nor the pirate royal family will be ashamed in front of the world.

There are two small accidents on the side of the small mercenary group, one is Lu'er, the sacred dragon makes the adults change their image when they have nothing to do in the camp, the most exaggerated one is that it turned into Chi Aotian, the thief team recognized the wrong person twice in a row, and the thieves who thought they didn't rub the sand in their eyes were quite ashamed; 。 In the end, Amy threatened that if the little girl continued like this, she would let the elders of Jing Ling forcibly take her back to the Demon Jing Forest, so that Her Royal Highness would be so frightened that she would not cry.

In the end, the Thieves' Guild and the Mercenary Guild jointly issued a verification certificate to ensure that the two sides involved in this war did indeed fully meet the list submitted in advance.

It was at this time that the chiefs of the small mercenary group met for the first time His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King, the patriarch of the Pirate King family, who was also the first patriarch of the four major families to appear during the War of the Gods.

Completely contrary to the rugged style of the imaginary pirates, the Southern Cross King was a young man in his 30s, with a noble and polite nature, with short red hair, two sword eyebrows, a pair of very gentle smiling eyes, blue and clear pupils like sea water, wearing a hat and a nose mirror, a straight nose bridge, thin lips slightly red, beardless, and his face was whiter and more delicate than that of an ordinary woman, and he could not tell that he was a person who had been blowing the sea breeze for a long time. He wore a very traditional black sè aristocratic court costume, with a silver sè pair of large buckles from top to bottom, several small badges embedded in his chest, and a long stabbing sword tied around his waist. There was also a very jing-like thin dog running beside the Grand Duke.

"I have long admired the names of the little mercenary group, like thunder. Being able to bring out such a mercenary group that has attracted everyone's attention in just 10 years is simply a miracle that we children who grew up under the influence of their parents could not have imagined. As he spoke, the Southern Cross King took off his gloves and shook hands with Amy, Da Qingshan, Chi Aotian, Horns and others one by one, smiling with a smile.

"Oh, this is Miss Lin Yushang, the daughter of the famous Lin River, she is really naturally beautiful, I really want to see what kind of earth-shattering performance the magic empire you preside over will have. The Southern Cross King lowered his head and kissed the back of Lin Yusheng's hand as he spoke, gentle and elegant.

"You must be the first god to be recognized by the Huode Star Palace in ten thousand years, Your Excellency Sha Ruo, I am ashamed to say it, it is said that my ancestors still have the bloodline of the Huode Star Palace. The Southern Cross King smiled and saluted Sha Ruoshen.

"This pure and simple young lady must be Her Majesty Queen Lingbao, the sect master of the Forest Jingling Kingdom and the Grassland Jingling Alliance, right?" The Southern Cross King didn't seem to see Lingbao'er's face crying at all, smeared with mud and water, and turned to Amy and said, "I really envy Your Excellency, you can actually get the favor of Her Majesty Queen Jingling." ”

...... His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King didn't seem to be participating in a life-and-death decisive battle at all, it seemed that he was chatting happily with his closest friends at the most upscale banquet, and he didn't need anyone to introduce a word at all, greeting all the mercenary cadres of the small mercenary group one by one, even including a few battalion-level cadres who rarely appeared, and everyone was like a chuckle.

Compared with His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King, the four giants of the small mercenary group, which usually seem to have a good temperament and affinity, can only be classified as a hillbilly.

"Deputy Commander, why do I hear that this guy seems to have classified our little mercenary group to the level of nouveau riche?"

"No, that's what people mean. Horns sneered.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to bear it. You think, the history of the dwarf royal family is much older than the four major families, and the real nobles here are you and Queen Lingbao...... Of course, the head of the regiment is naturally noble. Dark Autumn was whispering in the back, and Amy's eyes seemed to glance at him inadvertently, and he hurriedly slapped the captain's horse leg in.

Horns laughed twice: "If you have any ideas, let's talk about it when we fight the day after tomorrow." ”

Dark Autumn listened to the group leader touch his nose and hid in the crowd.

His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King did not notice this scene behind the small mercenary group, and was enthusiastically introducing several major family cadres behind him to Amy and Da Qingshan. The Grand Duke of the Iron Hand Blocking River is an acquaintance, at least Chi Aotian, Qu Jianhong, Qingluo and other expeditionary forces are very familiar with the Grand Duke; Lord Obi, who ranks 21st in the latest ranking of the Battle Spirit List, is a half-jing spirit with the blood of the grassland jing spirit, it seems that he should be about 200 years old, judging from the average life span of 400 years of the half-jing spirit, he is in the prime of life, with light blue hair, a jujube wood bow on his back, and a dagger in his left and right boots, he is a figure who has dominated the battle spirit list for a century and a half, and is nicknamed the "Light Arrow King" Legend has it that the arrow feather shè can be sent out thousands of kilometers away. When Chi Aotian's expeditionary force was fighting on the Huayu Plain, Lord Obi returned to the family to report on his work, but this time the war was caught up, and it was obvious that the old hatred and new hatred had to be settled together.

The two dragon knight chiefs of the Black Crocodile Mercenary Regiment turned out to be half-orcs - that is, half-orcs and human descendants, half a head taller than Chi Aotian, although there were no mounted dragons by their side, the two chiefs carried dragon knight weapons with them - It's not a gun, but another outer door weapon: goose wing boring, this 3.2-meter-long outer door weapon is more than three times heavier than an ordinary dragon knight gun, especially the boring head with blades on six sides, and the middle of the six blades is wrapped with a watermelon-sized boring gall, at least 120 pounds, not only used to attack the dragon knight, even if the fifth-order dragon is shot, it will be opened three blood holes ten centimeters deep and thirty centimeters long, if it is smashed on the dragon's wings, it will definitely be smashed to the bones and tendons. These two officers are ranked 11th and 27th respectively on the Battle Spirit List.

Kaka, the leader of the Pirate Skull Legion, is also red-bearded and red-haired, and although his face is weather-beaten, he is also an unusually handsome figure, and from the outside, he cannot be associated with such a maverick profession as a pirate. Kaka's eyes swept over the faces of several officers of the small mercenary group, and finally asked in a deep voice, "Excuse me, which one is the famous Bald-tailed Dragon Knight Dark Autumn Sound?"

How smart Dark Qiu Sheng is, he immediately knew that there was a problem, and just wanted to slip away from behind, but was pushed up from behind by Qu Jianhong with a smile: "This little handsome boy is Dark Qiu Sheng." ”

Kaka looked up and down, and nodded politely: "During the battle, I hope to be able to go head-to-head with a warrior like you, I don't know if your Excellency can promise it?" ”

This guy ...... It can't be the family of the red-haired female pirate, right?? He really guessed correctly, Kaka the Redbeard is the elder brother of Grand Duke Caterina, but because he is a concubine, he has not been able to inherit the duke.

The one-eyed salon looked like a real pirate, with a brown beard, a black sè eye patch, many scars on his face, a colorful tiger pierced on his left neck, the tiger's head falling on his left ear, two front grips from the jaw to the cheek, and an iron anchor pierced on the right neck. Like all pirates, his eyes are red.

The dragon knight from the Pirate King's family guard was a middle-aged man of about 35 years old, with a slender figure and black hair, who just nodded in the direction of the several chief officers of the small mercenary group, and the black sè Hitomi did not leave His Royal Highness the Southern Cross King at all. He was followed by two young men who shared the same habits as him.

"Your Highness, why didn't you see the TT giant?" Amy asked casually.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. The Southern Cross King apologized to Amy and several of the leaders of the neutral forces: "Their bodies are so big, we have built large sea ships, so they are still at sea until now." Estimate...... I'll be there tomorrow night at the earliest, and I'll let you know to check it out then. If I can't make it, then I'll fight with someone else. ”

Amy's face showed a hint of regret: "I really hope they can arrive as soon as possible, if they miss it like this, it will be regretted for life." ”

"Hehe, yes, if they really can't come, I feel sorry for them. It is really a blessing to be able to fight with such a soldier as the chief officers of the small mercenary group. "The Southern Cross King seems to have more regret than Amy.

In the center of the camp of the Pirate King, a large pit was dug 100 meters long and 100 meters wide, and water was drawn from the Sanggan River, and a row of pirates were carrying buckets to pour white sea salt into it, and the pool was not stirring up waves four or five meters high.

"Oh, what's that interesting stuff?"

"Octopus Knight's mount. The Southern Cross King had a faint smile on his face, and glanced at the two commanders of the pirate legion with his eyes: "I said it all, octopuses can only exert their combat power in the sea, you two just don't listen, look, when the day after tomorrow will fight, you can't also dig a big hole in the battlefield, right? It really makes you laugh, Lord Amy." ”

"Where, where, it was a real eye-opener for us. Hmm......" Amy said as she looked coldly at the officers of the Pirate King's family, "I'm afraid these octopuses can live on land for at least an hour, right?"

The tiger grip on Sharon's face jerked forward and retracted.
