181 Melee Glory and the Fugitive Prince
……
What?
Rhaegar caught?
Matthew instinctively felt stunned, but when he thought about it, it didn't seem impossible.
He quickly checked the vision, and found that there were few relevant images, and the only information did not show the face of Rhaegar himself, and it was all statements of the Blue tribe and the Blood Banner Kingdom.
But the ability of world events is similar to Loraine's chasing after the wind.
It can't generate such a message for nothing.
Rhaegar must have been in trouble on his way to Purgatory.
Matthew walked back and forth a few steps, and left the cemetery immediately, intending to go to town to consult with Zeller.
Seve was placed in the cemetery fairly safely.
Two of the safest places in Rolling Rock are Matthew's Oak Grove and Cemetery.
Both ceremonial arenas mobilized the forces of his own realm, with Obest and Agus guarding them respectively.
These two individuals are very strong, and in the case of playing at home, if you want to defeat them quickly, you need at least a four-person team of the fifth order to be possible.
And this configuration is rare in the whole South.
So Matthew was also relieved when he left.
By the time he arrived at the Lord's Palace, it was already dark.
Matthew wanted to go to Zeller's room to find him, but he didn't expect to see some fires in the office hall from afar.
He came into the hallway.
I heard a cough from afar, and when I got closer, I realized that Zeller was still working in the office!
"I thought you should have rested."
Matthew didn't hide his footsteps and knocked on the door.
Zeller glanced up at him and smiled charmingly:
"Learn from your mages."
"I've heard that the hardest mages use spells to deprive themselves of sleep in order to keep them abreast of knowledge twenty-four hours a day."
"The second-class ones will also compress their sleep time to two to four hours a day."
Matthew walked in and said helplessly:
"Looks like I've pulled down the average diligence of mages."
Zeller smiled:
"Necromancers are considered outliers among mages, and speaking of which, have you ever considered transforming yourself into a lich in the future? I've heard that many necromancers' ultimate dreams are this. ”
Matthew shook his head:
"For me, the Lich is a desperate choice, and it is somewhat self-defeating to obtain eternal life in this way, and it has not been able to rise above death in the end, and is still a slave to death."
He came to the desk, looked at the thick stack of papers, and couldn't help frowning:
"There's a lot of stuff to deal with, right?"
"What about the Committee of Five?"
"Shouldn't a lot of things be left to them?"
Zeller put the quill on the shelf next to him, rubbed his face with both hands, and let out a helpless sigh:
"There are so many displaced people that we need to put in place targeted measures.
The war between the High Leaf Collar and the Red Earth Mountains is expected to produce more displaced people.
The current town of Rolling Stones resembles a raised high ground to the war-torn surrounding territory.
Many civilians have fled here with their families.
If it weren't for the legend of the Man-Eating Tree and the Zombies, there would be a large number of outcasts around your oak forest.
This problem must be resolved as soon as possible, or it will create even greater disaster. ”
"The five-member committee can only deal with daily government affairs, and the current situation has developed to the present, and a lot of information is related to each other, I don't want Rolling Rock Town to always be an afterthought, so it is inevitable to be diligent."
Matthew said admiringly:
"You're the most unwarlock I've ever seen."
Zeller took a sip of ginger water:
"It's like you've seen a lot of warlocks."
"There has always been a stereotype of warlocks, and it is natural to think that all warlocks are frivolous and unruly, just as necromancers always like to steal corpses."
Matthew smiled:
"Some of my peers do like to steal corpses, but that's also a helpless move, after all, this kind of spell casting material is still too expensive."
"But you're right, I'm just surprised that your talent and ability in handling government affairs have nothing to do with the Warlock profession."
Zeller said calmly:
"No one is born with a penchant for doing such tedious work."
"But Rhaegar needs someone like that."
Rhaegar needs.
You're on?
Matthew's heart moved, and he couldn't help asking:
"He saved your life?"
Zeller said unabashedly:
"More than once."
The night always seems to open up.
The two looked at each other across their desks, flickering candles on either side.
Matthew could see the look of remembrance in Zeller's eyes:
"When I was younger, I lived in darkness.
It's hard to put into words that environment.
It was like darkness that could not be seen with five fingers, and the air around it was cemented into hard metal.
You can't move, you can't breathe, you struggle to blink.
To this day, it's hard to recall the details.
I only remember the day I met Rhaeggar.
It was as if I had met a light. ”
At this point he was silent, seemingly completely lost in his memory.
Matthew didn't squeak, and waited until Zeller's attention returned to reality before he slowly spoke:
"It's unimaginable."
"Actually, for a long time, Rhaegar made me feel like a friend of mine who was a mechanic friend - she and I agreed that he was in charge of being funny in the crowd."
Zeller smiled lightly:
"That's now, he wasn't like that before, young Rhaegar was much more reckless, and he had a lot of stinky problems, but he was always likable."
"Come to think of it, did you ever hate Rhaeggar?"
Matthew thought about it for a moment:
"I don't seem to hate him from beginning to end."
Zeller asked again:
"Do you like Rhaegar then?"
Matthew reluctantly said:
"It's okay."
Zeller laughed:
"That's right, although he has one kind of problem or another, everyone loves Rhaegar, and that's his charm."
Matthew blinked:
"But I'm afraid it's hard for our beloved charismatic king."
As he spoke, he explained the ins and outs of why he had suddenly visited.
"You mean, you have a bard-like ability and received the news that Rhaegar had been kidnapped?"
Zeller rubbed his temples, his expression a little incredulous.
"Probably not a kidnapping, but a captive."
Matthew said.
Zeller frowned:
"It should be unlikely.
The purgatory portal goes straight to the hinterland of the Blood Banner Kingdom, and if he is captured by the demons of the Blue tribe there, then the Blood Banner Kingdom is probably not far from destroying the country.
This is completely inconsistent with the message we received some time ago.
The strength of the Blood Banner Kingdom is still very strong, at least on an equal footing with the Blue tribe.
Is it possible that the message you received was a smoke bomb spread by the Blue tribe? ”
Matthew mused:
"You mean, we're going to trust Rhaeggar?"
Zeller nodded:
"He's not as unreliable as you think."
Matthew scratched his head.
There was no way, maybe the inherent impression was too deep, and he couldn't associate Rhaegar with the word reliable.
"Rhaegar is actually a very intelligent fellow.
He had faced the Firedemon alone.
He has also used the Astral Projection to steal the treasure chests of the Changing Giants.
He knows a lot about purgatory, and his fighting power is actually far more powerful than what you see.
It's just that most of the time he seals his own form, and only a few enemies can sense his wrath—
That's not a lucky thing. ”
Zeller comforted:
"Well, I'll try using the prophecy spell early tomorrow morning to confirm Rhaeggar's safety."
"I'm so tired tonight that I don't have much power to cast spells."
Matthew, who is also a spellcaster, certainly understands Zeller's situation.
Since the latter has so much confidence in Rhaeggar.
Matthew was relieved.
At that moment, he persuaded Zeller to not work too hard, and then left the office hall.
Just walking in the hallway.
I can still hear a cough from behind me from time to time.
……
On the way back to town.
Matthew is still working on the ability of "world events".
A new discovery is that this ability also has an event tracking function.
Matthew ticked the tracking function of each of the three messages.
And so it goes.
If there is an update in the future, Matthew will have a better chance of being informed.
After the operation is done.
Matthew focused his attention on the first two messages.
I was worried about Lei Jia before, so I didn't look at it very carefully, but in fact, the first two are the news that has a more significant impact on the world pattern.
In particular, the Guardian of the East slew the dragon in the sea, which was enough to trigger a "vision" that changed the entire East.
Matthew clicks on the details.
In an instant, he saw many, many -
He saw the tragic scene of Chen, the guardian of the East, fighting the dragon in the sea.
Shockingly.
The legendary mage has been fighting the dragon almost the entire time.
He turned into a huge shadow and became entangled with the enemy, and the two sides punched and kicked each other, and struck from the sea to the sky, and from the sky to the sea.
This is why the Endless Ocean tsunamis were frequent before.
Matthew noticed that Chen had also used spells, but those spells were either melee force field spells, such as "Chen's Vajra Fist", "Chen's Bone Shattering Flying Palm", and "Chen's Spell Drunken Fist";
EITHER IT IS A BUFF THAT STRENGTHENS ITS OWN ATTRIBUTES, SUCH AS "LEGENDARY POWER", "INVINCIBLE", "GIANT FIGHT" AND SO ON.
However, he is such a legendary mage who fights to the flesh.
Beat the evil dragon in the sea with ungodly physical fitness!
Matthew looked at it for a while, and although it was only a very vague slide, he was still shocked.
……
"Hint: You're aware of some of the traits and abilities of Guardian of the East, Chen—
Legendary Trait: Melee Glory (Legendary Mage Chen completely forgoes his ranged ability, he will not be able to attack enemies up to 5 meters away from him, and in compensation, his melee combat spell will be increased to 500% of his original effect)
Ability: Master of Fist (Legendary Mage Chan has mastered almost all of Aindor's fist skills since ancient times)
Ability: Sharp Teeth (Chen has honed his teeth into the ultimate weapon, which can easily tear through any object with armor level below 20)
Ability: Starlight Quenching (Chen used the light of the astral plane to refine his body, so that its strength reached the level of a demon in the outer plane)
……
Chen slayed the dragon in the sea and gained the "power of heroes"!
Hero's Power (Plane Blessing/Main Material Realm): In battles that occur in the main material realm, Chen will receive the highest priority judgment, which is the blessing of the world's pan-consciousness to the hero.
Duration: 30 years.
As a member of the Seven Saints Alliance and the Humans, you have benefited from this, in the 36 months since Chen slain the Sea Dragon.
You will receive the "Hero Junior".
Hero Junior: When you fight monsters, you will have a very small chance of receiving the blessing from the world's pan-consciousness."
……
"I didn't expect it to be stained?"
Matthew has an honor.
Immediately, he thought secretly:
"It seems that the four guardians of the alliance have their own characteristics, and the Eastern Guardian Chen is good at melee spells of the force field;
Roderick, Guardian of the North, excels in the realm of prophecy;
Ronan, the Guardian of the South, specializes in spells and thaumaturgy;
I just don't know what the Western Guardians are good at. ”
After Chen killed the evil dragon in the sea.
Matthew saw the dragon's corpse sink into the sea, forming a huge whirlpool on the surface of the sea, and the whirlpool grew bigger and bigger, eventually affecting the air currents in the sky.
The city, which had been in the sky over the sea until now, was pulled to the surface by the air currents.
It blends with the whirlpool to form a magical spectacle.
The last image Matthew saw.
It was the city that hung upside down above the sea.
Although it is still a certain distance from the sea, it is not as far away as before.
He observed that there were already ships trying to get close to the inverted island, but they didn't know what was going to happen next.
The message that can be determined is.
The upside-down floating city was not the ruins of the legendary clouds, and it didn't seem to be the Eastern Immortal Kingdom.
Rather, it was a floating city that suddenly appeared in the main material realm.
Such a existence.
It's sure to attract countless adventurers and careerists to flock to it.
The eastern sea can only be said to be a wave of just flattening, and a wave of rising.
And the troll tribe is on the detail page.
Matthew also has more to discover.
……
"Hint: By observing the vision established by the Troll Kingdom, you extracted the following key information—
-
Thriving: The trolls are firmly united around the royal capital of Shijia City, a new kingdom of vitality and infinite possibilities.
-
Population Explosion: The Troll Kingdom is in the midst of an explosion of rapid population growth.
-
All as one: The trolls are committed to revitalizing the glory of the ancient troll empire, and the people of the whole country are united in their efforts.
-
Sweet Potato Farming: The trolls seem to have mastered a new type of sweet potato cultivation technique that allows them to grow giant sweet potatoes underground or in caves, which can increase their food production extremely quickly.
-
Shortage of weapons: Trolls are all soldiers, but there is a shortage of weapons in Iron City, their usual short spears are not common in the market, and trolls themselves are not good at forging weapons."
……
"This troll kingdom looks like it has a lot going on."
"It's just too far away from Rolling Stone, otherwise it could be a potential alliance."
Matthew groaned inwardly.
Shijia City is located further north in the Helen Mountains, which is the hinterland of the northern realm.
Sparsely populated and sparsely frequented, it was once the domain of the Three Sisters of Winter, but now it is home to a small number of humans, barbarians, dwarves, and trolls.
It's a pity it's too far.
Matthew was only going to pay a little attention.
However, the first kingdom appeared, and there must be many followers in the future.
The continent of Aiindo.
I'm afraid we'll soon enter the age of kings.
When Matthew returns to the cemetery.
I just happened to bump into the Red Flame Nightmare, this guy ran out two times in three days, and he didn't have stage fright when he saw Matthew, he came up with a wild lick, and Matthew who licked was full of disgust.
Soon, though.
Nightmare tilted his head and poured out two white rays of light from his ears—
This is one of the hidden abilities of the Red Flame Nightmare.
It can stuff small amounts of objects into its ears, and its ears have the properties of dimensional space.
Nightmares happily threw their hooves on those two things.
Matthew stared intently.
The first thing turned out to be a map!
This map depicts in great detail the distribution of forces in the dark region, layer by layer.
It's just that there are too many layers in the dark area, and the roads are also extending in all directions, and Matthew is dizzy after looking at the dense contour lines for a while.
"No, it's not an ordinary map, it's a magic map!"
Matthew soon realizes something unusual about the map.
The aura of magic gushing out of the four corners was exceptionally clear.
There's a hint of dark magic.
"Where did you get that?"
Matthew asked.
However, Nightmare only knows about Sahuan, and Matthew can only get a very vague piece of information.
"Far, far away?"
"There is a majestic city, and the statue at the gate of the city is a black dragon?"
"Is it Black Dragon City, or Extreme Frozen City?"
No one can answer Matthew's question.
Then he looked at the slab again.
Matthew lost a forensic technique.
……
"Hint: Identification failed!
You need more knowledge (gods/oddities/fate) to understand the meaning of this tablet!"
……
Matthew was taken aback.
Need so much extra knowledge?
This means that the slate has an extraordinary origin.
At that moment, he put away the two things properly, and admonished the nightmare:
"It's better not to run away."
"Even if you want to run, you have to pay attention to safety, and don't do whatever you want just by relying on the 'aether jump', understand?"
Nightmare snorted.
There is a posture of "I know, I dare next time".
Matthew had no choice but to stuff two escape scrolls into him, and admonished:
"Someone caught it, don't say it's my horse!"
The night after that.
Matthew continues to learn spells in the cemetery.
In the wee hours of the morning.
Just when Matthew was drowsy.
"World Events" has been updated!
……
"Private: In Escana, according to an internal demon in Sturuk Industries, the only male heir of the Blood Banner Kingdom was indeed captured by the Great Tribal Tribe, but he escaped from prison soon after.
At present, the Blue tribe is making every effort to capture the fugitive prince of the Blood Banner Kingdom.
The Blood Flag Kingdom said that the above is fake news.
They reiterate that there is no male heir to the Blood Banner royal family."
……
Rhaegar escaped?
Matthew breathed a sigh of relief.
This guy really still has two brushes, and with his net worth, there should be a lot of escape props at hand.
Purgatory is his home turf again.
I really don't have to worry too much about him.
Think of it this way.
Matthew went to sleep beautifully.
Wake up the next morning.
He deliberately went to the land where the seasons were like spring and planted a few trees.
However, when I first returned to the cemetery.
Then I saw Zeller coming up in a hurry:
"Oh no, Matthew!"
"Rhaegar has really been caught!"
Matthew said calmly:
"Didn't I find out last night?"
"I got the latest news this morning, he escaped and is still on the run."
Who knew that Zeller smiled bitterly and said:
"That's backward news."
"I just confirmed with a prophecy spell that Rhaegar was caught again in the process of escaping!"
Matthew was taken aback:
"Caught again?"
"Can he be captured by a demon twice?"
Zeller shook his head:
"The person who caught him this time is a private army of the Blood Banner Kingdom."
"If I'm not mistaken, the leader of that army is one of his sisters."
Matthew touched his chin:
"That should be okay?"
Zeller said solemnly:
"No, it's bad."
"Originally, Rhaegar secretly returned to his hometown this time, planning to sneak into the ancient castle of the Blood Banner family, "Red and Black", only to meet with a few trusted old retainers, and take some materials and props with him."
"But the news leaked out for some reason, and now the entire Blood Banner Kingdom knows that Rhaegar is back."
"All his sisters and aunts are looking for him!"
"They are more dangerous than the demons of the Great Blue Tribe!"
Matthew was puzzled:
"Why is this happening?"
Zeller sighed and said:
"If it falls into the hands of demons, I believe that with Rhaeggar's ability, he will always find a chance to escape."
"But if it's his sisters......"
"Let's just say that we don't have much hope of seeing Rhaegar in our lifetimes."
Matthew is a little sore:
"But we can't confirm the truth of the news now, right?"
Zeller also nodded in embarrassment:
"Prophecy spells are always easy to be interfered with, and it is true that the possibility that our information is a smoke bomb cannot be ruled out."
"The safest way is to go to Escana."
Matthew mused:
"Why don't you let little Parton go?"
"There may be some news for Bigfoot."
"I think he can be trusted."
Zeller thought for a long time before agreeing:
"Okay."
So the two of them went to little Paton and told him what had happened.
The latter patted his chest and promised:
"I'll be sure to bring back the most authentic news about Rhaeggar!"
said.
He drank the potion, transformed into a minotaur, and passed through the rift again.
Three hours later.
The Minotaur squeezed through the crack.
But listen to little Parton shouting as he squeezes:
"Oh no, no, no!"
"I heard that Rhaegar has been dead for days!"
"Well, isn't Rolling Stone going to welcome a new lord?"
……
