Volume 1 Growing Up in the Academy Chapter 190 Talking by the Sea
"Helena, it's rude to peek at other people's dates." Filia said as she cut her hair.
"Don't you see me?" Helena deliberately showed her position and made some movements, Rog turned his back to her and didn't notice it, but Filia was facing her, with the strength of the Empire's new star, she was sure that Filia had discovered her.
"I see, but I'm busy." Sure enough, Felia admitted it directly.
"Then you are doing this and this in front of me, the princess...... Intimacy, who is rude? For some reason, Helena wanted to compete with her when she saw Philia, maybe the temperament of the two was too similar, and they were the best of the best, and they wanted to be different.
"Well, Helena, let's get down to business." Rogge was finally able to stand on his own, took out a handkerchief and said while slowly wiping his nosebleed, "How much do you know about that red-black magic crystal?" ”
The two's walk is not as simple as dating, Filia shares the information she saw from Helena's eyes with Rog, Rog thinks about the scene at that time, it is true, then Helena asked him over last night for this purpose.
"Red and Black Magic Crystal...... Have you ever heard of the Alien Demons? We call it the Alien Crystal. ”
"Alien Crystals?"
"That's right, according to our speculation and investigation, the Alien Demon Crystal does not belong to this world, it is like a Demon Beast Demon Core but not a Demon Core, and it has a strong attraction to monsters and Demon Beasts that thirst for power. And ......" Helena paused, looking at the two.
"And what?"
"And it's not these low-intelligence creatures who are most attracted to it, but you humans, our sea tribes, and other intelligent races who crave power, the greater the desire, the less firm the mind, the greater the impact."
Rog and Philia glanced at each other, and they both remembered Durucon's crazy and evil appearance.
"Have you seen people who have fallen under the influence of the Alien Crystal?" Helena's eyes narrowed slightly, she, like Filia, was a person who could read information from people's subtle expressions and movements.
Helena's information to the two was important, confirming some of their previous speculations and adding some details. In this case, the two are also willing to confess to Helena.
Rogge said: "We have seen that he is Duruc, the son of the Grand Duke of Ranster of the Lion Family, who swallowed an alien crystal in front of us in the Spirit Beast Secret Garden of the Spirit Summoning Saint Kingdom, and then changed his appearance. ”
"What has become?"
Rogge has a deep memory of what Durucco looked like at that time, and he can describe it without recalling, "When we met him, he had two curved sharp horns on his head, dark red skin, a large and deformed hand, which would release tentacle attacks, and his size had also become a lot larger, about two meters. ”
"After swallowing the alien demon crystal, his momentum skyrocketed, and his whole body exuded a demonic aura that was visible to the naked eye, the horns on his head became longer, his skin darkened, and his injuries recovered quickly."
Rog carefully described to Helena what Duruco looked like before and after devouring the Alien Crystal.
"Well, similar to what I observed, there are also Sea Clans in the Kingdom of the Sea who have fallen, and they are also like this. After I killed him, I found a crystal similar to the Alien Crystal from the back of his head, did you find it? ”
"At that time, the situation was critical, and in order to let Duruco die, we directly burned his body without opening his head." Rogge added some details, "In the final dialogue, Duruco called the Alien Crystal the Holy Stone. Moreover, Filia seriously injured Duruco for a while, and then Duruco seemed to be a different person, with moves and reactions that were very different from before. ”
Helena listened intently, jotting down information she didn't have.
"Helena, how much do you know about the Shark Demon?" Filia asked suddenly.
"Weak, a little brainy, numerous, filthy and ugly creatures, their presence is an insult to the ocean."
"Attention."
Filia reminded herself, drawing her flaming sword, recalling the strange sword technique of the shark demon leader she had slain, and attacked Helena.
In the face of this strange offensive move, Helena, who had reached the level of the martial king, was suppressed by Philia for a while, and only after five moves did she get used to it, and used the back of the Poseidon knife to resist Filia's sword, and the fight was inextricable.
Rogge, who was watching from the sidelines, once again sighed at Filia's super talent, swordsmanship and knife skills seemed to her as if there was no threshold, and if she saw it, she would be able to do it.
And it's not as simple as it is, Filia killed the leader of the shark demon with only one sword, and the weird knife technique she saw naturally only had one style, and the rest was created by herself according to the routine of this sword technique.
This is Filia's habit, she will summarize after every battle, not only herself but also her opponent, which is why she can grow so quickly.
The leader of the shark demon is the weirdest opponent she has ever encountered, so last night's summary was a little more, so much so that she created a complete set of swordsmanship based on that weird sword technique, not much, just thirteen moves.
Obviously, the shark demon leader's posture was ugly and distorted when he slashed people with a brass machete, but Filia's swordsmanship had a different sense of agility and agility, and Rogge felt that it should be the reason for the beauty of the people.
The thirteen sword techniques were used twice, and Filia attached a sword of her own peerless flame slash, slashing the Seagod Sword into a buzzing sound, and then turned around and stood still, and put the sword into the sheath.
"Don't tell me, this is the swordsmanship of the Shark Demon." Helena said word for word.
Filia's "pay attention" reminds Helena that she is about to attack, and second, tells Helena to pay attention to her sword moves.
As soon as the two girls fought, Helena felt that something was wrong, and then became more and more frightened, shocked by the strangeness of the sword moves and the subtlety of Filia's swordsmanship.
"This is what I changed from the sword technique of the Shark Demon Leader, what do you think?" Philia replied.
"It's very powerful, but the mermaid demon doesn't know how to use swords." The Shark Demon is a demonic beast, so naturally it is impossible to use such a thing as sword technique that requires a deep understanding, and the attack relies more on instinct.
“…… The leader of the shark demon did use an extremely strange knife technique, I'm sure. Filia took out the Shark Leader's core and showed it to Helena, "This is its core, it looks exactly like the Alien Crystal. ”
"This is more like an alien crystal than the crystal formed in the back of the head of the Sea Clan I killed!"
Rogge touched his chin with one hand and said, "Our previous speculation is that the Alien Demon Crystal can attract monsters to devour it and cause blood to become a Demonic Beast, if this kind of Demonic Beast is allowed to develop, its Demon Core will become an Alien Crystal after a long time." Now it seems that demonic beasts, spirit beasts, humans, sea tribes, etc., as long as there are thoughts and desires, creatures will be affected by it! ”
"That's right." Helena turned to look at the sea, "The Alien Demon Crystal can not only give birth to demonic beasts, but also make demonic beasts more powerful, allowing humans, sea tribes and other intelligent beings to gain power that does not belong to this world, luring them to gradually degenerate, and eventually become the minions of alien demons!" ”
"What the hell is a demon?" This is the second time Rogge has heard the word from Helena.
"I haven't seen a real demon, but there are ancient notes in the temple of our Azure Sea Country: the alien demon is a creature from another world, and it invaded our Hestya world through some method a long time ago, trying to spread the alien crystal to develop minions and control our world, but they did not succeed." Helena said slowly.
"Why didn't it work out? Someone is blocking or? ”
"The reason is unknown, but that's all there is to it in the notes, I'll tell you all of it."
Rog and Philia fell silent, thinking about Helena's information and their own discoveries.
After a while, Rogge was the first to speak, "Let's not talk about the reason why the alien demon didn't succeed before, but now that the alien crystal has reappeared, does it mean that the alien demon has invaded again?" ”
"Quite possibly." Helena said.
"We got word from the city guards in Ipney Harbor that the Ulhai Kingdom is in trouble, and the trouble is a demon?"
"No, as I said, I haven't seen a demon. However, our troubles are indeed related to the alien demons, and the kingdom of the sea has been attacked by demonic beasts, and the number of demonic beasts here is more than a hundred times that of the demonic beasts here. ”
The two of them trembled in their hearts when they heard this, how many times the number of demonic beasts there is here? Will the Celestial Sea Country be able to cope with it?
As if sensing the worries of the two, Helena smiled slightly and said: "The sea is vast, the ocean is a three-dimensional living space, the number of creatures is beyond your imagination, and there are naturally countless magical beasts. Driven by the Alien Crystal, these Demonic Beasts seem to me to be quite few. ”
"You don't have to worry about my Weihai Country, after thousands of years of development, the strength of the four major sea countries is extremely strong, and I can proudly say that the Weihai Kingdom is the most powerful country in the world, and there is no one. If the invasion takes place in the ocean, I promise you that I will lead the people of the Sea Clan to contain the demons in the sea and never let them land on land! ”
Helena's words made the two of them understand that the great courage and courage of the stunning sea clan princess in front of them must be an extremely good commander, and her status in the Azure Sea Country is probably below the king.
"Is it true that no one has ever seen a demon in all these years?" Philia asked.
"I've also said that I like to listen to stories, and there happen to be a couple of lesser-known 'stories' related to this. It is rumored that the elves in the southern kingdom of Nanyuan and the Hess Forest in your south have a special team of demon hunters, whose goal is to hunt down the invading demons. ”
"So someone is silently guarding the world?"
"So to speak."
The two of them were silent again, what they heard today made them feel a little strange to this world, and it seemed that there were many secrets hidden in the fog.
"Helena, thank you. This information is important to us, and thank you for knowing everything about us. Rogge thanked him.
"You're welcome."
Filia asked curiously, "Why do you trust us so much?" ”
Helena smiled again, "Because I see you well, I have always seen people very accurately, and you will definitely stand at the forefront of the whole world in the future, just like me!" ”
"Are you at the forefront of the whole world......" Rogge mused.
"What, don't want to? I can't help you then. Helena circled the two of them twice and returned to her original position, "Rog, Philia, the world is getting more and more peaceful, hurry up and improve yourself and get ready." ”
"Understood." The two replied.
"Well, that's all for today, and don't tell anyone but your most trusted companions. After all, people's hearts can fall, and there will always be people who yearn for power regardless of the cost. I will personally tell King Charles the information I have, discuss countermeasures with him, and make his own judgment on who can and what people can't. ”
Rogge nodded in agreement, Emperor Charles's ability is still reliable, "Got it, you're going to Odens?" ”
The capital of the empire, Odens, was the seat of King Charles.
"Yes, we'll drop by for the time being. That's right, this one is for you. Helena took out a large blue-black conch and handed it to Rog.
"What is this?"
"This is the end of the world. The number of snails is very scarce, the shell of the paired snail has a magical function, as long as you are on the beach, you talk to the inside of the snail shell, it will spread to my snail shell, and I can hear it when I am at the beach, and I speak the same here. ”
"When you find valuable information, or have something to ask me, feel free to contact us." Helena shook another identical Tianya conch in her hand, "Of course, it's okay to chat and talk about your heart." ”
Hearing this, Filia held out her hand to Rogge in front of Helena.
Rogge decisively handed over the Tianya Conch to her.
"Tsk." Helena shook her head, turned and walked to the island, "Let's go, the storm is coming, pack up and get ready to hit the road." ”
