Chapter 178: If You Must Choose
Actually, I'm a cook!
As an aspiring ogre patriarch, Giant Fang has always felt that he is an excellent chef with exquisite cooking skills and full of artistic atmosphere, but it makes it feel regretful, why every time those "foods" hear themselves discussing cooking, they will roll their eyes and faint directly, are they never moved by the fact that they are lucky enough to become food?
Well, anyway, the poor snake-necked mage was already awe-inspiring to be able to insist on listening to ten cooking methods before fainting, and less than three seconds after waking up, this guy didn't even need Lin Taiping to say another word, he said with tears in his eyes that he was willing to cooperate, no matter how he cooperated, as long as he kept the damn ogre away from him.
Who knows, maybe he didn't want to contribute to the development of cooking, maybe he always believed that Lord Garros could easily kill the enemy, but no matter what, at least the snake neck mage could no longer cooperate now, and immediately under the gaze of the dark creatures, he launched a magical message to the Blood Whale, indicating that Coral Island had been completely wiped out, and more than a dozen ogre captives had been captured.
That's right, Lin Taiping was very satisfied with this, and once again confirmed that there was no code in this magic message, and after completing this work, he immediately withdrew from the battlefield with the orcs and dark creatures, and re-dived into the deep cold ice cave hundreds of meters underground, patiently waiting for the automatic delivery of the prey.
After being bombarded all night, even though the deep cold ice cave was hidden deep underground, there were many cracks on the surrounding walls, but what was surprising was that the magic crystal wall that could show the image of the ground was still shining with silver-white light unscathed.
"Good luck, Tooth. How can you find the ruins of the Dark Dynasty?" This time, because he didn't have to worry about the heavy shelling, Lin Taiping was finally able to drink tea for a long time, looking at this ruins that are said to be from the Dark Dynasty, and by the way, he felt that his character was not as good as a group of ogres.
However, what puzzled him was that the ruins of this dark dynasty seemed to be too small, you must know that even the alchemical real room of Pig Instein's ancestors occupied almost the entire valley, but this deep cold ice cave was only so big. And apart from the magic crystal wall and the two "kitchen knives", there were no valuable items left.
"It's just a part of the ruins, a tiny, tiny part. Giant Fang found a whetstone out of nowhere, and replied casually while sharpening two kitchen knives, "I found a map here before, and according to the map, there is at least one fortress buried here, and it is behind the magic crystal wall, but the problem is ......"
But here's the thing. Can't you open it?
Lin Taiping thoughtfully walked to the magic crystal wall and gently knocked on the cold and hard crystal wall, perhaps just like the giant tooth said, the deep cold ice cave was only a small part of the entire ruin fortress. The magic crystal wall is the gate to the entire fortress, but perhaps due to disrepair, this gate has been completely damaged, and the only way to open it is to force it through guò.
"That's right. But it's really hard, and the magic crystal wall is still useful, and I don't want to destroy it. "Giant Tooth is also grinding his teeth regrettably. I wish I could dig a hole in the crystal wall with my sharp fangs, "I dare to swear with my favorite kitchen knife, even if there is nothing in this fortress, but even if it is, it must be ...... Very...... It's worth the money!"
This description is really elegant and vulgar, Lin Taiping knocked on the crystal wall with the same feeling, but he couldn't help but think about it-
Perhaps thousands of years ago, this magnificent and huge fortress stood in the golden sunlight, or maybe there were countless powerful dark creatures in the fortress at that time, walking and roaring in the fortress, but time finally destroyed a qiē, just like the dark dynasty that once ruled the entire world, and it was inevitable in the end......
"It's coming!" he was once in a while, and just halfway through his emotion, Angelina next to him suddenly let out a low sigh.
Almost at the same time, as if to verify Angelina's inference, a dazzling silver light suddenly erupted on the magic crystal wall, and only a few seconds later, the picture in the light and shadow suddenly shifted to the sea off the coast of Coral Island......
Soon, the bloody figure of the Blood Whale slowly sailed out of the fog like a fierce beast, which was completely different from the violent bombardment of last night, and the Blood Whale did not launch a fierce shelling at this moment, but hung a half-sail and sailed slowly with the help of the sea breeze, and finally stayed on the sea not far from the coral island.
Seeing this scene, the dark creatures in the deep cold ice cave were a little nervous, and they couldn't help but clench their weapons, but Lin Taiping still remained calm, and gently pressed his palm on the magic crystal wall, under his control, the picture in the crystal wall image continued to zoom in and out, and finally the entire Blood Whale was presented in detail.
The raging sea breeze howled by, and the terrifying Blood Whale entrenched on the sea surface gently swayed and undulated in the furious sea tide, and the vast deck shrouded in lights and shadows was as huge as half a square, even in the middle of the night, there were still hundreds of sailors running around on the deck, and the cries echoed in the late night mist, but they were soon covered by the whistling of the sea breeze and angry waves.
It is no exaggeration to say that this is a giant warship that can be described as a castle on the sea, and aside from its ferocious firepower, and no matter how many powerful warriors it can hold, just its huge body like an ancient fierce whale is enough to make people daunting, and even have a sense of breathless shock.
"Seriously, this is the most majestic battleship I've ever seen!" Angelina stared at the Blood Whale tightly, her slightly narrowed eyes were full of longing, and even her breathing became short, "Kobayashi, if your plan can go smoothly, if we can really take this giant ship......"
"Take it easy, take it easy. Lin Taiping let out a long breath, and at his signal, Angelina and the others quickly noticed that on the vast and dim deck of the Blood Whale, some vague black figures were hidden.
In contrast to the busy sailors around them, these immobile black figures, their faces covered in iron masks and blue-black armor, were always hidden in dark corners that could not be illuminated by the lamp. Two silver-white twin swords hung from their waists, and the length of the blades was nearly eighty meters, almost touching the ground......
It is worth noting that no matter how noisy and busy the deck is, these elite guardians still stand silent, coldly pressing the hilt of their swords, patrolling the surroundings vigilantly, and the bloody aura emanating from them is full of a strong desire to destroy, and merges with the raging storm around them. As if they themselves were the embodiment of the storm.
"So, who are these guards?" Lin Taiping turned his head thoughtfully and looked at Angelina beside him.
"Storm Swordsmen, they're Storm Swordsmen. Angelina frowned slightly, and licked her lips with some depression, "Don't underestimate these guys, although their average strength is only at the peak of bronze, they have all mastered the martial art of Sword Storm under the cultivation and guidance of that six-armed Garros." ”
Yes. As Angelina said, these orderly storm swordsmen are small elite legions created by Duke Bloodsa under the orders of Garros, and these elite swordsmen use dual swords. He is extremely fast, ruthless, and because he is good at casting sword storms, he is called Storm.
In fact, take out a Storm Swordsman alone. The strength is only the peak of bronze, and it is not much different from ordinary orcs or ogres, but here's the problem. The number of storm swordsmen exceeded two hundred, and they were extremely good at cooperating with each other, especially when they charged collectively, hundreds of sword blade storms were wildly cast in unison, converging into a terrifying tornado hurricane, I am afraid that even the black iron mid-level powerhouses would be defeated.
"It's easy, let's kill him by surprise, just don't let them gather. Giant Fang and Baizu came over from the side, and the two guys looked at each other with a fierce face, and suddenly felt a sense of sympathy for each other, "Hehe, Lin, what are you waiting for, our scimitars and kitchen knives are already hungry and thirsty." ”
Well, in fact, there is no need for them to build yì, because at this time, a few small boats have been laid down on the Blood Whale, and a dozen sailors have lit bright torches and rowed their boats against the waves towards Coral Island, and in about ten minutes, they are almost close to the beach destroyed by artillery fire.
"Well, it's our turn. Lin Taiping waved his hand lightly, paused and added, "You take that mage brother and go to the beach to prepare to meet them, remember to move cleanly, don't let those sailors notice the abnormality and send out a warning signal, otherwise it will ......."
I know, I know, you've said it ten thousand times, Angelina was excited when she was close to the big battle, and immediately rushed out with the dark creatures, and before leaving, she didn't forget to drag the trembling Miranda, who was dragged out and complained desperately: "Wait, wait, I'm just a bard, why should I go with you, but Lin can stay?"
"Who said I'm going to stay, I'm just going to pray before the battle, and I'll catch up with you later. Lin Taiping smiled and waved his hand, watching the dark creatures disappear into the passage of the deep cold ice cave.
Moments later, after making sure everyone was gone, he returned to the Magic Crystal Wall and once again observed the Bloody Whale shrouded in darkness, especially the Storm Swordsmen who still stood as silent as stone statues.
As if sensing some kind of mysterious gaze, several shadow storm swordsmen suddenly raised their heads and looked at the void with vigilance, their expressions completely obscured by the iron masks, but the exposed scarlet blood eyes exuded a cold and murderous aura like a fierce beast, as if full of warnings.
"Looks trickier than expected?" Lin Taiping touched his chin thoughtfully, facing the vicious gaze of those storm swordsmen, after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly lowered his head very happily and looked at the ring of the gods on his left hand.
"Well, just to be on the safe side, maybe I'll have to ...... again Again...... Loser once?"
Before the words fell, the silver-white light surged like a tide, instantly completely submerging his figure, only a moment of discomfort passed, and when he opened his eyes again, he had already appeared in the temple of the gods without any surprise, as he had done dozens of times before.
The altar was still burning with flames, the statues of the gods were still towering, and as usual, the hollow voice without emotion reverberated through the vast hall: "Sacrifice to the gods, devout believers, and the gods will grant you divine blessings." ”
"Of course, of course. Lin Taiping raised his head casually, looked at the statues of the gods standing in front of him, and then with a flick of his hand, a whole three boxes of magic crystals suddenly appeared out of thin air and fell heavily on the altar: "So, remember the blessing I checked last time, I think I need that." ”
There was silence, only a moment of silence, and the empty voice sounded again: "Devout believer, the God of Craftsmen has decided to fulfill your wish and offer five pieces of black iron grade magic tools as materials, and the apostles of the God of Craftsmen will personally come down and forge a silver-level magic equipment for you......"
Five, a full five black iron-level magic tools, this can no longer be described as a loser!
Lin Taiping sighed painfully, but he honestly reached into his arms and took out all the magic tools that had been prepared, these black iron-level magic tools included his various gains over the past year, such as the passage of time that can release the curse of time, and the slavery bracelet that can enslave others......
It is no exaggeration to say that in order to get together these five black iron-level magic tools, Lin Taiping almost emptied his family, and even scraped together a few pieces on credit from the black merchants, you must know that in this Constance world, magic alchemy props are not roadside cabbage, and black iron-level magic tools are even more precious.
However, this qiē is all worth it, isn't it?
You must know that black iron-level magic tools are precious, but silver-level magic tools are even rarer, even those powerful mages in the chaotic sea area, they may not be able to have one after decades of searching, if you ask them if they are willing to exchange five black iron magic tools for one silver magic tool, nine out of ten powerful mages will nod desperately, as for the rest of the ...... Sorry, he was so pleasantly surprised that he fainted.
And now, Lin Taiping has such a precious opportunity, so he still chose to accept it without hesitation, and touched his chin a little nervously, waiting for a miracle to appear.
However, unexpectedly, just a few seconds later, the hollow voice sounded again: "Devout believer, you must choose one of the bronze-level magic tools as the core foundation of the casting, so that its magical attributes can be retained to the greatest extent. ”
Lin Taiping was slightly stunned, looked at the five magic props in front of him, and frowned a little distressedly.
Well, in fact, the range of choices is very small, the three magic tools on credit from the black merchants are just ordinary goods used to replenish the number, even if they are upgraded to silver equipment, it is a waste, so it seems that the two most valuable pieces of equipment are only the passage of time to cast the curse of aging, and the slave bracelet that can enslave others.
However, whether it is the passage of time or the enslavement bracelet, this is a very difficult choice question, the former is very suitable for sneak attacks by yin people, and the latter is very useful when infiltrating and interrogating, it can be said that each has its own advantages, and it is necessary to choose between the two, which is like asking you whether you choose to go shopping with your wife or choose to listen to your wife's nagging...... Well, first of all, you have to have a wife.
Distressed, really distressed, Lin Taiping sighed and rubbed his forehead, and suddenly felt that he had a very strict phobia of choice, but at this time, the empty voice was still urging: "Devout believer, please make your choice quickly, the god of craftsmen is slightly dissatisfied with your delay, if ......"
Don't rush me, this is not a courier sign!
Lin Taiping rubbed his brows in distress, weighed it repeatedly for a few minutes, looking at the passage of time and the slavery bracelet placed in front of him, he finally gritted his teeth as if he had made up his mind, and directly stretched out his hand to point-
"Well, if I have to choose, I'll choose ......" (to be continued...... to be continued)
