Chapter 53: The Ruins of the Ancient Elven Dynasty
The group that came was naturally the mayor of Babel Province and others. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Faced with the monster who had single-handedly slaughtered the entire army of stone demons - no, the hero, since they had no idea what race the other party really was and what attitude they had towards the elves, they finally adopted the most cautious and safest strategy after intense discussions.
That is to raise the white flag.
This is not a surrender, but a show, we do not intend to have the slightest resistance, uncle, you can do whatever you want, according to the speculation of the think tank, with the strength of the other party, it may not have any thoughts about the elves, but their attitude towards the stone demons is obviously the enemy, at this point, the two sides are the same.
The enemy of the enemy may not be a friend, but at least both parties are intelligent creatures, and there is a possibility of communication, and they can also try to win over this strong man who suddenly appeared, and tentatively get some news...... Of course, because the difference in strength is too large, everything must be done very respectfully and cautiously.
More than a hundred meters away from Joshua and the others, a group of people hurriedly got out of the armored car, and in order to show respect, they also changed into dresses that they would only wear for celebrations or conferences, even if it seemed a little fussy, but they still regulated their actions according to the highest etiquette.
The leader, of course, is Professor Nelson, as the only elf who often communicates with the volcanic dragon and can speak the language of the name of the plains, he shoulders the responsibility of leading the team.
Everything was perfect, and the elves had thought of almost every possibility, whether it was the initiative to go out of the city to meet them, the language problems, or everything else, they really thought about everything.
In addition to the following point.
“…… The lingua franca you speak, the tone is so weird......"
Joshua, who was already standing on top of the black head and was about to scout around, looked condescendingly at the white-haired elf old man below, he frowned, glanced at the very nervous elves behind him, and said suspiciously: "I can't hear what you're talking about at all." ”
What the other party said is obviously a lingua franca, in the Mycrof continent, both elves and dwarves will have this most widely spread language, even dragons will deliberately learn it, but sometimes, even if it is the same language, they may not be able to understand each other.
The tone of the old elf in front of him was obviously a Far South accent mixed with some ancient elf words, and some sentences were still in the grammar of the ancient elves, mixed with some tones that he had never heard at all, so that only ghosts could understand them.
But the strange thing was that the old elf could hear what Joshua was saying, Professor Nelson's forehead had been sweating coldly, facing the black-haired warrior in front of him, he always felt a heartfelt fear, the weight of the other party's coercion even reminded him of a lot of unbearable past events, just a few words of time, he felt that he had drained all his energy.
The old mage is like this, and the group of people behind them are no better, they were originally destroyed by the spiritual attack of the silver humanoid coordination terminal once, and now they are suppressed by the warrior's aura, and their performance is even more unbearable, and a few of them are already in a trance, I'm afraid they have already hallucinated.
I really couldn't stand it, Loranda, who was standing behind Joshua, made a move, and a ball of holy light was condensed in his hand, and then turned into countless points of light, flying towards everyone, and suddenly most of the people's expressions temporarily calmed down, but after this incident, except for Professor Nelson, everyone did not dare to look directly at the face of the warrior, and for the old elf, the paladin chanted an additional prayer, and then gave him a divine spell.
【Fluent in Languages】
This magic can allow the other party to temporarily become proficient in a language that the caster knows, which is equivalent to partial knowledge sharing, with this spell, he originally knew the lingua franca, but Nelson, who was unable to communicate because of thousands of years of mispronunciation and changes, immediately understood his previous mistake, but through this incident, he at least understood a little.
These people in front of them have no ill will towards the elves.
With a deep bow of thanks, Professor Nelson had a lot of information and speculation flashing through his mind.
Before that, he originally thought that only the black-haired and red-eyed warrior came, that is, the owner of the Volcano Dragon, but when he got closer, he found that there were actually three other people, one was an adult man with blond hair and wearing civilian clothes, and the other two were a smaller silver-haired girl and a black-haired boy, these people, including the Volcano Dragon, were all led by the warrior who slayer the stone demon, and it seemed that they were relatives or team.
Except for the warriors, they all looked dressed in civilian clothes, and they didn't seem to be ready for battle, and they seemed to have seen the warrior with two weapons before, but now they didn't, and they didn't know where to put them.
"My lord, if you can, please go into town and rest, we have all the ...... ready for you"
After confirming that the two sides could communicate, Professor Nelson indicated the intention of his side, they first thanked Joshua and others, including Hei, for their help to the elves, and then the mayor stepped forward and invited the group to the city to rest through the old elves as interpreters, and they would give thanks, and Joshua would try their best to meet whatever they wanted.
"Actually, I just want the owner to help them protect the city."
Pressed against Rin's ear, the silver-haired girl whispered to her brother, "This idea is so simple that I can see it." ”
But Rin shrugged his shoulders, and he also said softly: "You can get some information about this world when you go into the city, and you can also take a break, and the master doesn't mind protecting the city, which is not a bad thing." ”
In this regard, Joshua first nodded, then shook his head, and he said to Professor Nelson and the others who looked puzzled: "Rest is spared, what you have to do now is to rebuild the defense line as soon as possible, so that the seriously injured soldiers and citizens can rest and be treated, the offensive of chaos will definitely not be so simple." ”
Recalling the overwhelming army of the Aragami at the beginning, the warrior admonished with a serious face: "With such a strong chaotic aura, don't take it lightly, if you are not careful, they will soon appear in another batch." ”
In the face of Joshua's reprimand, everyone was so angry that they could only nod their heads, but the warrior just felt it and didn't say much, and after thinking for a while, Joshua asked, "Do you know anything about these spell puppets with a chaotic aura?" ”
"You mean, Stone Devil?"
Rubbing his trembling hands, Professor Nelson swallowed, and he said with a hint of trembling, "Their information? Of course, but we don't know much about it, and most of the materials are in the downtown library, so we don't have them with us. ”
Extremely concerned about facing the stone demons, is it specially here for this?
While explaining, the old elf was also thinking about many things in his heart, he didn't know that Joshua and the others came here just to find the stupid dragon Black, who had seen the inhuman force of warriors, he knew that there would be no such existence in the entire Irgena continent, and the other party must have come here from an extremely far away world, or even another world.
Qiao Siya naturally knew that the other party would definitely guess their origins, but because it was too troublesome to explain the ins and outs, he didn't bother to say that the other party liked to guess how he wanted, so he ignored the expressions of the old mage and the others, and the warrior said simply: "I need to know all the information you have about the stone demons - by the way, you also prepare a copy of the information about your civilization, all of them." ”
Joshua emphasized this: "Don't hide anything. ”
When he said this, it was originally just an ordinary emphasis and request, to ensure that there would be no deviation in his understanding of the world, so he didn't bring any special tone, but to Nelson and others, this aggravated tone of words exploded in his ears like thunder, and suddenly everyone nodded in panic at the same time, the mayor was in a cold sweat, he patted his chest, and promised that what Dao and others would give was absolutely all the information, and there would be absolutely no omission.
Lolanda stood behind him, raised his hand, and stopped talking, but after thinking about it, he still put it down.
Forget it, it's a strange elf anyway, so it's okay to let Joshua's aura of despair scare them, at least it will be a little more efficient.
Paladins are naturally on the side of justice, but faster efficiency can obviously help more people, and Lolanda naturally understands that it is naturally more important for them to understand the world as soon as possible than the mood of several people.
And in the other direction.
In the dark night sky, a teardrop-shaped airship was flying in mid-air, rumbling in the wind.
Airship, one of the pinnacle creations of magic technology today, with the power circle and anti-gravity core as the center, a standard-sized airship can carry a weight of 250 tons and fly at a speed of 60 kilometers per hour.
It's not fast, but it's enough to use, not to mention that with better materials, both the load and the speed can be doubled.
And this dark blue teardrop-shaped airship is obviously the one with the best materials.
At speeds of hundreds of kilometers per hour, the wind that swept the old trees along the smooth shape of the mountain range was fast enough to sweep through the smooth shape without much resistance, and it was not long before the airship reached the edge of the mountain range.
The wind here is stronger, and the lighter elf boys and girls are likely to be swept away by the wind speed, and the whistling sound even drowns out the roar of the airship engine.
On an external balcony on the side of the airship, a red-haired elf was standing here, feeling the wind blowing, he half-squinted, staring down, suddenly, the elf raised his eyelids slightly, and then reached out and grabbed something in mid-air.
A leaf.
"It's windy again...... can blow the leaves here. The red-haired elf, that is, the Grand Commander Ulken, sighed softly: "The Origin Mountain Range was originally windless, but now it ...... Everything has changed, both in this mountain range and in this world. ”
"My lord, please come back! A few days ago, there were tornadoes and other phenomena in the Origin Mountains, and if there is a rapid air flow in the air......"
A voice appeared behind Ulken, sounding worried, and the red-haired elf was silent, sighed, and turned away from the balcony, the leaves falling from his hands, slowly disappearing into the deep night.
It's as if it's disappearing into a bottomless abyss.
Soon after, the wind became stronger, and two winds from different directions collided together, they swirled, merged, and then formed a violent vortex current, and with the endless roar in the sky, a thick black tornado appeared between heaven and earth, and a purple lightning streaked across the sky, making the tornado's huge body look like a giant destroying the world.
By this time, the airship had landed in a wide clearing in the mountains.
It was full of artillery-ridden ruins and ruins, covered with traces of gunpowder and magic crystals, and Ulken stepped out of the airship, several guards following him, and the red-haired elf took a deep breath as he looked around the vast ruins.
This is the ruins of the capital of the last elven dynasty.
And his target was in the ruins, the underground that had been buried by the artillery fire of the war.
One, a real abyss.
