Chapter 246: The Curse of the Great Snow Mountain
The pine resin torch was already half burned, and the remaining "prey" that had not yet been caught was still five.
The five girls still disappeared into the woods. Of course, Du Wei would not be kind enough to think that Lu Gao would really spare these poor girls. But since he made a bet, Du Wei asked himself, at least he could do his best to save a little more life.
"So...... Let's get started!"
General Lugao, as the master, announced the beginning of the game. Dozens of cavalrymen of the Northwest Army began to scatter into the woods on horseback.
Du Wei looked at the Tatayaro mage, smiled and owed, his movements were elegant, and his tone was easy-going: "Tatayaro mage, please first." ”
This Tatayalo's eyes were more white and less black, and he glanced at Du Wei coldly, and he was not polite, his body floated up gently, and he was dressed in a black robe, floating up like a ghost. As he took out a white bone wand from his body, he counted it in mid-air, and after reciting words in his mouth, a cloud of black gas emanated from the wand, although the distance was very far, but many generals of the Northwest Army faintly felt a kind of pressing cold contained in the black air, and there was a faint creepy taste. Everyone subconsciously took a few steps back.
There were a few soft clicks, and above the ground, several solid drum tower arms broke through the ground, and then several skeletons broke through the ground and crawled out of the ground. The success of these skeleton soldiers is quite good. In Dewey's eyes, most of their bones are intact. The sè ze, who is hard and metallic, wears a lot of cracked armor, but most of it is still intact. Obviously, this Tatayalo's family background is quite rich, and such a low-level skeleton can be equipped with this kind of armor. And then Tatayalo said a series of spells, and under the eyes of everyone, his white bone wand waved a few times, and several cracks suddenly cracked in the air, forming a black hole one by one. After the spatial rift from the black sè. A terrible roar was heard, and then several necromantic knights on black horses actually jumped out of the crack!
These necromantic knights are full of black flames all over their bodies, and the war horses under their crotches are also necromantic creatures, full of fierce xìng, especially the kind of dead air emitted from their bodies, so that many people who stand close can't help but feel a burst of creepy when they read it, as if they were cool. From the heel to the back of the head.
And close to this necromantic creature, many generals have war horses under their crotches. Immediately, it seemed to be full of fear to retreat, and even more irritable. Even the horsemen's desperate attempts to appease them did not have much effect.
Tataya Rossenran's laughter came, as if with a hint of pride, and then he waved his wand a few times, summoning these skeleton soldiers and necromantic knights under him, and he uttered a strange language that even Du Wei couldn't understand, as if communicating with these necromantic creatures, and finally pointed at the distance of the forest with his wand, ** waved......
As if all the necromantic creatures had received orders, the five necromantic knights immediately leaped out of their horses and galloped towards the depths of the forest. And those skeleton ice, who were not slow, immediately scattered and dived into the forest.
Tatayaro sneered, glanced at Du Wei, and laughed in a difficult and ugly voice: "Lord Duke, I'll go first!"
With that, he shook his arms and floated into the forest like a ghost.
Du Wei watched this black magician enter the forest, a trace of haze flashed on his face, and then he smiled again and glanced at General Lu Gao: "General...... This chief magic advisor of yours is truly powerful!"
Lu Gao smiled slightly: "Du Wei, you're welcome." You are a genius magician known in dìdū. Let's see your magic too. ”
Du Wei groaned for a moment. The Dark Mage can summon many necromantic creatures to act as his helpers. Such a large forest, hiding five people, want to search inch by inch, it is indeed quite laborious, and it can't hurt the other party's xìng life, and the large-scale indiscriminate covering xìng attack magic can't be used.
It's just that...... Summoning the Treants to help them search? But no! Because those Treants are the lowest level of Treant companions, they have no wisdom and no self-awareness, and can only do some simple work according to Du Wei's command, but they can't find people.
Thinking of this, Du Wei thought about it and smiled on his face.
He deliberately flirted, but he drifted in the air unhurriedly, and then let out a long whistling sound.
The whistling sound seemed faintly as if it were some kind of summoning, and suddenly there was a buzzing sound from the woods!
The humming sound seemed to come from all directions one by one, and when it was near, everyone was surprised to find that it was actually an innumerable bird of all kinds inhabiting the woods! There were hummingbirds from the northwest, yellow-feathered birds, and cuckoos...... There are a few owls!
Nearly a hundred birds flew in front of him, but all of them seemed to have landed on the branches and surrounded Du Wei.
Under the suspicious eyes of everyone, Du Wei's whistle was suppressed and frustrated, but it seemed to communicate with these birds, and those birds seemed to have received Du Wei's orders, and with a buzz, more than 100 birds fluttered their wings and flew high, diving into the forest in all directions.
I've only heard of mages who can summon magical creatures, or reclaim magical beasts as their own pets...... Haven't you heard of any magic that can summon so many ordinary natural creatures?
And it seems that he can communicate with these birds? Could it be that this duke can also speak birds?
But Du Wei surprised them much more than that.
――――――――――――――――――――――――――
After dispersing these birds, Du Wei had already laughed, landed on the ground, and in vain raised his head to the sky and howled, but this howl was like a wolf's howl!
In a few moments, several wolf howls echoed from the depths of the woods. Immediately, a little gray shadow rushed out of the forest, and several coyotes ran over, all gathered in front of Du Wei.
The guards around Lu Gao immediately picked up their weapons and stopped in front of the general, and the few summoned coyotes, who looked strong, seemed to be quite jealous of humans, although they stopped in front of Du Wei, they seemed to be a little irritable and moved their claws back and forth, grinning at the soldiers of the Northwest Army in the distance.
Du Wei had already squatted down, snorting at a few coyotes and not knowing what language he used to communicate with these beasts. Anyway, after Du Wei stood up again, he raised his hand and pointed at the forest, and several coyotes immediately spread their paws and galloped into the forest......
"Hahahaha...... Du Wei, you have opened our eyes!" Lu Gao was the first to break the silence, and the generals of the Northwest Army around him were still staring at each other, and Lu Gao's eyes had flashed a hint of jīng, and he smiled: "Du Wei, what kind of magic are you? Even these beasts can obey your calls? I have only heard that black mages can summon necromantic creatures, and most mages can only drive their own magic pets...... You ......"
Du Wei smiled slightly, but did not answer, but bypassed the topic and smiled: "General, Master Tatayaro can summon so many necromantic creatures, in order not to lose too ugly, I have to summon more, relying on numbers to win." After a pause, he smiled and said, "Okay, I don't dare to delay here for a long time, otherwise, I'm afraid that Master Tatayaro will act too quickly, and I will lose face." ”
After saying that, Du Wei's body flashed, landed on his horse, shouted, and galloped away into the woods, while Hussein followed closely behind.
;
When Du Wei's figure was in the forest, Lu Gao's face gradually sank. Sebasta slowly came to Lu Gao's side and whispered, "Father." ”
Lu Gao raised his hand, and then glanced back: "Let's retreat first." ”
Behind him, all the generals and gods rode away from afar.
"Father, look ......," Sebasta's voice was low, and his tone was full of worry.
"Yes, yes...... It's indeed the 'Moon Beauty', but isn't this sword always in the hands of that Rodriguez? Rodriguez's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't find that guy, and this Moon Beauty ......"
Sebasta smiled coldly: "If Bai Hechou knew that the beauty under the moon was in the northwest, he would definitely come desperately to snatch it." Hum...... Without this holy sword on the Snow Mountain, his position as the Witch King of the Great Snow Mountain would not be justified!"
Lu Gao was silent for a while: "Back then, Gu Lan Xiu went down the snow mountain and took this sword away...... I've been worried about one thing...... It's the blue sea! This guy is in dìdū, and I don't know how many secret arrangements he has made over the years! Gu Lanxiu originally wanted to pass on the position of the witch king to the blue sea, although Bai Hechou is extremely strong, but without this holy sword, many secrets on the snow-capped mountain cannot be opened! I have always suspected that this sword is in the hands of the blue sea, but unfortunately I have been exploring openly and secretly all these years, but I have not been able to get any news...... I even doubted it...... This old guy of Gulanxiu will not cheat to death and run away again, will that Rodriguez be a disciple of Gulanxiu! Otherwise, how could the beauty under the moon fall into the hands of an outsider...... But today, it seems that things are getting complicated again!"
Sebasta thought for a moment and said, "No matter what, this sword is now in the hands of this Du Wei, so the identity of this Du Wei ......"
Lu Gao was indifferent, his eyes were full of complexity and contradictions, and he suddenly spoke: "Do you think this Du Wei will be a disciple of Gu Lanxiu?"
Sebasta smiled: "Father is so confused! That guy has been dead for decades, how old is this Du Wei? I think most of Du Wei is an apprentice of the blue ocean." This beauty under the moon may have been in the hands of Lan Hai all along, and now it has been passed on to this Du Wei. ”
"Hmph!" Lu Gao snorted coldly: "Originally, this beauty under the moon, in the hands of Rodriguez, that guy is a paladin, and his whereabouts are uncertain, and we can't find him, so we can't do anything." Now...... Since this sword is in the northwest, no matter what happens this time, I can't let the sword be thrown away again!"
The corner of Sebasta's mouth sneered: "Father, back then, you disdained the position of the Witch King, so you let him Bai Hechou become the lord of the Snow Mountain, this beauty under the moon, why do you value it so much?"
"What do you know!" Lu Gao said lightly: "I am now the lord of the Northwest Legion of the Roland Empire, sitting on an army of 200,000 troops, and claiming the king and hegemony in the northwest, who can care about me? How comfortable is this! It is much stronger than him sitting on the top of the snow-capped mountain, suffering from the bitter cold all year round, and still guarding that ridiculous snow-capped mountain mission! Although I disdain the so-called snow-capped mountain mission, there are still many things that I value on the snowy mountain! Not to mention anything else...... Just those things hidden on the snowy mountains, don't you feel moved after I told you!......?
Sebasta sighed: "It's just hateful...... Gu Lanxiu, this old guy, loved the blue sea and the white river back then, but he ...... to you"
"Shut up!!" Lu Gao suddenly became angry, and shouted in vain at his son, his voice was calm, and he said fiercely: "Listen well! I have reminded you many times! I can speak disrespectfully to Gu Lan Xiu, but you can't! No one can be disrespectful to Gu Lan Xiu in front of me! Do you remember?!"
Saibasta was silent, he slowly took a few steps back, bowed and said, "Yes...... Father!"
Lu Gao nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at the sky, and sighed faintly: "After all...... Gurumsiu, this old fellow...... It's mine...... Teacher!"
He looked up at the sky. Sebasta next to him stood with his head down, but a faint fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
After a long time, Lu Gao said leisurely: "Look at that guy Du Wei...... What kind of magic is it cast? It's not like ......."
Only then did Sebasta raise his head and look at his father: "I'm suspicious too...... The fact that he was able to drive so many natural creatures just now is very similar to a kind of ...... 'beast language' of witchcraft on the snowy mountains that you mentioned in your father. However, being able to cultivate the beast language technique and become a 'beast whisperer' is such a talent that I am afraid has not appeared on the continent for hundreds of years......!
"That's what I'm worried about!" Lu Gao gritted his teeth: "This Du Wei talent is very good. He gained such a great fame at a young age, is his magic strength...... If he took the beauty under the moon, I don't know if he had learned the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain...... If he learns the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain, he will also learn the witchcraft of the Snow Mountain...... Then we're in big trouble!"
"It's better to ......" A hint of fierceness flashed in Sebasta's eyes: "Leave his life in Watt City, and that sword will naturally ......"
"Can't be killed!" Lu Gao's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of fear: "You are not from the Great Snow Mountain, you don't understand the mysteries! There is a strange curse on the Great Snow Mountain, and anyone who has learned the witchcraft of the Great Snow Mountain cannot kill his companions who also know the magic of the Snow Mountain! Otherwise, ...... will be cursed and miserable for life!"
Sebasta was obviously a little unimpressed: "Father, do you believe such an illusory statement?"
"Shut up!" Lu Gao said coldly: "Naturally, you don't believe it! But look at that guy Bai Hechou! Although I am conceited, I have to admit that he is indeed a person with extreme talent that I have not seen in the Great Snow Mountain for hundreds of years! Whether it is witchcraft or the martial arts of the Great Snow Mountain, his cultivation level is far above ours, and even our teacher Gu Lanxiu was easily defeated by him! But because he didn't believe in this curse back then, he opened a killing ring on the snow mountain in order to seize the position of the Witch King...... Otherwise, with Bai Hechou's ability, if he could go down the mountain and enter the WTO, who would be his opponent, whether it was a demon master or a paladin, would be his opponent? It was because he vainly killed his companions who practiced witchcraft on the snow-capped mountain that he ended up today......! That Du Wei, if he hadn't learned the magic of the Snow Mountain, it would be nothing to kill people with a sword! Although I originally knew that I couldn't kill him now, but for the sake of the beauty under the moon...... It's worth the risk! But...... If he really learns the magic of the Snow Mountain, then this person must not be killed!"
Sebasta gritted his teeth: "In this case...... What Du Wei just performed was clearly the Beast Language......"
"So...... I had to find another way. Lu Gao pondered for a while: "If you have to...... It's also acceptable for us to bow our heads to him. ”
"Even if we can't kill him...... He is now on our territory, and there are hundreds of thousands of troops under your command, father, are you still afraid that he will be able to escape? Even if he is a magister or a paladin, he can't stand against the entire Northwest Army on his own, as long as he is not killed by your father, it is not considered to have violated the cursed oath. ”
"No, it's not good!" Lu Gao suddenly became agitated: "Sebasta! You don't understand! There are some things that I can't tell you now! In short, ...... Listen to me! Du Wei will never move until he is sure that he can return to witchcraft! Even if he is missing a single hair, I will ask you alone! Starting today, you will be responsible for 'protecting' his safety! Under no circumstances shall he be harmed!"
