Chapter 801: The Elixir That Seals Spiritual Power

Ying Yan's eyes suddenly became sharp, and he said mockingly: "Short-sighted waste, what else can you trap me except this magic circle?" ”

"You don't have to worry about that." I don't know when, Able appeared behind Shadow Bird, put his hand on Shadow Bird's shoulder, and said in a calm tone.

A chill crept up on Shadow's back, and before he could scream, he was knocked unconscious by an Abel move.

Looking at the shadow who had collapsed to the ground, Kant walked up to Able and said, "He's right, we don't have any way to restrain him. When he wakes up, he may slip away from us at any moment. ”

"There is a spell circulating in the elven clan that seals the spiritual power of others, but no one in our group has learned this high-level spell." Able opened his mouth and responded, "If you give this shadow to the medic in the team, they should be able to give the shadow the illusion that their spiritual power has been sealed through spiritual spells. ”

"I see. That's great! Bandak cheered from the sidelines. In the battle of the City of the Dead, he had deeply understood the magic power of the spirit elves.

"Hmm." Kant nodded, "I've heard of the power of spiritual mages before. I didn't expect that there were ready-made talents of this kind in the army. ”

"They specialize in medicine on weekdays." Abel explained: "I don't show up in front of everyone very often. ”

"Then, this matter can only be entrusted to those mages." Kant responded, "Hurry up and send the Shadow to the medical tent." ”

"Yes!" Able replied, beckoning a few of his men and instructing them, "Please help carry Shadow to the medical tent." I then rushed over and explained it to Krovka in person. ”

"Roger, Captain Abel." Several soldiers agreed.

Then several soldiers carried the sleeping shadow to the stretched stretcher that had been brought to him, and walked to the camp tent in the rear.

The other soldiers around them were also dismissed back to their posts or returned to their tents to rest.

Kant, Abel and Bandak walked up to Raphael and asked with concern, "Raphael, are you alright?" ”

"It's fine." Raphael shook his head and replied with a relaxed smile on his face.

"That's good." Bandak breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that the dark side forces do not intend to let us go. ”

The conversation between Raphael and Shadow just now was clearly heard by Kant and Bhandak, who were ambushed outside the camp.

"Since they've decided to do it." Kant raised his eyes and said, "We have to be proactive." ”

Abel turned to Kant in surprise and asked, "Your Majesty, are you ready to participate in the war on this island?" ”

"I'm not sure yet." Kant said lightly: "However, the meaning of Ying Yan's words should be the instructions given to him by the people behind him. Since the other party's attitude is so resolute, we don't need to pay too much attention to their position in the future. ”

Hearing this, Bandak frowned and said, "However, we have not yet made contact with the bright forces on the island..."

"That's one of the things we're going to do step by step." Kant responded: "There is no need to go to the volcano in the center of the island to find the gnomes. Dwarven towns are a good place to start. ”

"But how can we get to know the representatives of the forces on the bright side?" Bandak asked, confused.

"There's no particular way." Kant shrugged his shoulders senselessly and stated, "Now both sides of the city are watching each other. The news of our attack on Yingyan will naturally spread within the two parties. Just wait for them to come to us. ”

"His Majesty Kant is indeed a man of long-term vision." Able admired, "When I participated in this project, I didn't expect that catching the Shadow would have such an effect. ”

"I'm just taking one step at a time." Kant shook his head and modestly responded, "The most important thing is to succeed in taking the Shadow Bird. Let's go, by this time, it's almost time for Shadow to wake up. Let's ask him. ”

"Yes." Bandak replied to Bandak.

"Raphael, thank you for your hard work." Kant patted Raphael on the shoulder and said to him, "This matter is over, you should also go back to the camp to rest." ”

Raphael glanced at Abel on the side, and said to Kant with a smile: "It's nothing, I'm just moving my mouth." Since the leaders have something to do, I will retire. ”

"Hmm." Kant nodded in response.

After saluting Kant and the others, Raphael walked back to his tent.

Kant took the two captains beside him and walked towards the tent where the medic worked.

"In the future, there shouldn't be a need for Raphael's participation in operational matters, right?" Abel confirmed to Kant.

"I don't know yet." Kant replied, "But it is likely that this is the case." ”

"So, does he need to be sent back to the Elven Kingdom?" Bandak asked.

"Take him with you for the time being." Kant said: "Raphael's mood is quite high, and if he were sent back to the elven kingdom now, he might do something troublesome." ”

"Yes." Bandak agreed.

The three of them entered the camp where the medic was.

Krovka, who was the head of the medical team, immediately greeted him and saluted the three of them: "Your Majesty Kant! Captain of Able, Captain of Bandak. I'm Krofka, the medical captain of the elven army. ”

"Hello." Kant and Bandak greeted Krofka.

"Krofka, is the Shadow Guy awake?" Abel asked anxiously.

"Not yet," Krofka shook his head, "I've never touched Shadow Guy before, so I had to give him a tranquilizer first." and seal the source of spiritual power in his body. ”

"Seal the source of spiritual power? How did you do that? Able wondered.

"Oh. Of course, it wasn't with spells, those kinds of spells were just too complicated. We mortals can't understand it. Krofka explained, "I am using a new type of potion that simulates the effects of advanced spells, so that the injected person is temporarily forbidden to use spiritual power. ”

"For how long?" Kant asked.

"Three hours." Krofka sweated and said, "It's just that this is the first time we've used this kind of potion, and so far, it seems that it has had some side effects on Yingbai's body. Even Shadow hasn't been able to wake up now. ”

"That's a problem." Bandak frowned and said.

"Keep watching. It's always good to find a labor-saving way to limit the mana on Ying Yan's body. Kant nodded.

Chapter 802: The list that forced him to hand over

The three of them sat down on the edge of Shadow Yan's bed.

Kant reached out and touched Shadow Yan's arm, and immediately retracted his hand after feeling the biting coldness.

"Why are his hands so cold?" Kant whispered.

"It seems that this physique has something to do with Shadow Yan's origin." Able thought for a moment and replied, "Every shadow man's body is extremely cold until he dies. ”

"It's not surprising to associate it with their weird spells." Bandak took over the conversation and responded.

"How are the soldiers who sent them here?" Kant said worriedly.

"The soldiers are all mages, and for such characteristics, they should be able to resolve them with spells." Bandak turned his gaze to Abel and predicted.

"Well, the soldiers weren't hurt." Able nodded, "However, Shadow Yan's physique is indeed a bit troublesome. ”

"It's okay." Kant breathed a sigh of relief and said.

After a while, Shadow Bird, who was lying on the bed, woke up, and the three of them stopped talking.

"Who are you?" There was a defensive look in Shadow Bird's cloudy eyes.

The room was brightly lit, and such an environment made his heart even more uneasy.

"I am the lord of Calradia, Kant. This is the commander of the Karadian army, Bhandak. You should have seen this captain, the leader of the scout team sent by the elves, Able. Kande calmly introduced: "After that, what about your self-introduction?" ”

"Where am I now?" Instead of responding to Kant's question, Shadow Ripped off the quilt and struggled to sit up.

"Your Majesty is asking your name!" Bandak glared at Shadow Yan fiercely and warned sternly.

Shadow squinted at him, a dangerous glint in her eyes.

Just as he wanted to use the spiritual power in his body, he felt that his body was empty. There is not a trace of spiritual power.

"What did you do to me?!" Shadow Yan's expression became distorted, staring at the three people in front of him fiercely, and roared angrily, "You bastard villains! ”

"It's just that you're not lucky for a while." Kant said lightly: "As long as you answer our next question seriously, I will tell you how to break the seal." ”

"You—" A hint of timidity appeared on Shadow Yan's face, he didn't know that there were high-level mages in this barracks who were proficient in such spells. Now his gaze was locked on Abel's body, and the three of them only used his spiritual power to float, and it seemed that he had cast such spells on his body.

"Are you ready?" Able and Shadow looked at each other and asked.

"I don't know anything! I'm just a messenger. Shadow exclaimed.

"Just tell us everything you know." Bandak replied with a blank face.

"First of all, what's your name?" Kant threw the first question.

"Frey." Shadow sat down on her knees in compromise and replied softly.

"Frey, who's behind you?" Abel said.

"Carat. A snake woman. Frey replied briefly.

Bandak and Able looked at each other, their expressions becoming embarrassed.

"How do you usually contact him?" Kant asked, "Who else is in contact with you in the forces of the dark side?" ”

"Messenger. We will only see you once a month in the middle of the month. Frey looked up at Kant and said, "What do you want all this news for?" The battle on the island is not something you can participate in, and if you kill me, I won't tell you. ”

"You have murdered the soldiers of our entire ship, leaving them dead and crippled. A night raid on the camp had been planned. Kant said hatefully: "You say, why should we not get involved? If the people behind the sinking of the ship do not give an explanation, we will not give up. ”

Frey was overwhelmed by Kant's imposing momentum and was speechless for a moment.

"It's okay if you don't tell the whereabouts of the rest of the people." Bandak stared straight at Frey and threatened, "Then we will take you with us to the vicinity of the volcano to meet the snake girl you spoke of, and find it layer by layer, to see who can consume whom in the end." ”

"What seals the spiritual power on your body is not a spell, but a new potion we have developed. You've been asleep for so long, and it's probably because it's injected into you. Able stood there and said nonchalantly, "If you need to inject this tube into your body every day for the rest of the day, we don't know what the side effects will be. ”

Frey's eyes faltered, if he completely lost his mana because of this mission, it was unimaginable what his next life would become.

"Okay." Frey nodded gloomily and said, "I can give you the list of people I have in my hand." However, I have two requests, first: find a boat to take me out of the island immediately. Second: promise me an antidote. ”

"Okay." Kant readily agreed. A smile of triumph appeared on his face.

That night, after receiving the list of personnel written by Frey, the three of them gave Frey a trumped-up antidote, and let him take the first boat in the morning and leave the island.

"Frey's message is so detailed." Bandak glanced at the list and commented.

"I even wrote my address. It really exceeded our expectations. Abel said with a shrug.

Kant picked up the list Frey had given and compared it with the list sent by the dragons a few days ago. He responded: "Don't expect him to give any clues about important people, it's just to send us away and confess to his colleagues." ”

"Well, that's true." Abel pouted and said.

"It's strange, the list of dragons seems to be true..."Kant said suspiciously, after going through the two lists.

"Really?" Bandak took the list and looked at it as well, and after a while, looked up and said, "It seems that some of the names are repeated." ”

"The Dragons are indeed much better informed than us." Able stood next to him and took a look, commenting.

"How are these people doing?" Kant asked, facing Bandak.

Bandak, a little overwhelmed by this sudden question, touched the back of his head, and replied awkwardly, "I haven't heard from them." ”

"Most of them have been controlled by the bright forces in the clan." Abel speculated.

The list written by Frey only mentions the network of dark side forces in the town. The center of the Dark Side forces is still concentrated near the fire. Bandak said.

Chapter 803: The Elf Who Disappeared in the Middle of the Night

"You're right." Kant thought for a moment, nodded and said, "The dragons are too cunning. ”

"When the bright forces in the town find us, do we need to hand over this list?" Abel asked Kant for instructions.

"Well, this list doesn't mean a lot to us. It can be used as a stepping stone. Remind the bright forces in town to cooperate with us. Kant commanded.

"Yes." Able replied with a nod.

"This mission has been successfully completed, and everyone has worked hard. Go back and rest. Kant looked around the tent and ordered the many soldiers.

"Yes, Your Majesty." As soon as the soldiers received the order, they withdrew from the camp and hurried back to rest.

"Your Majesty, you have also worked hard." Abel bowed and said, "Let me and the Bandak Commander be in charge of escorting you back to the camp." ”

"Okay." Kant agreed, and as he spoke, he walked out of the camp.

On the way back to the camp, Kant asked Bandak about the training of the soldiers in Calradia in recent days.

"The daily training volume of the soldiers is basically the same as when they were in the barracks, Your Majesty does not have to worry." Bandak sent Kant to the tent and replied with a courtesy.

"Well, you must not relax in your weekday training." Kant instructed.

After leaving this sentence, Kant commanded Bandak and Able to go back to rest, and went into the camp himself.

"Let's go." After seeing Kant return to the camp, Bandak stood up and beckoned to Abel who was still half-kneeling on the ground.

The two embarked on the return journey together.

"It's been a hard day." Bandak took Abel by the shoulder and said to him, "We can barely help. ”

"The magic circle is just the first line of defense, I didn't expect this shadow to be intimidated before it rushed in front of you." Able said with a smile.

"I didn't expect this Shadow to be so timid, and I was so nervous when I heard that he was going to do something to Raphael." Bandak said.

"Is he going to do something to Raphael?" Able asked, turning sideways to Bandak.

At that time, Able was fully engaged in preparing the circle, and did not have the energy to pay attention to the conversation in the camp.

"Ah, no..."Bandak, knowing that he had slipped his mouth, denied with an embarrassed smile, "It's just the atmosphere of the conversation between the two at that time."

It's too tense, and it looks like the battle is about to break out. ”

Judging from the words left by Shadow before leaving, it is indeed ready to make a move on Raphael next time. The style of the dark side forces is really too hateful.

"I see." Abel bowed his head and pondered, "If there is a real fight, Raphael has no chance of winning. Fortunately, he didn't say anything dangerous on the spur of the moment. ”

"This time, Rafael did a pretty good job. Don't worry about these details. Bandak responded, "The Shadow Men are always too dangerous for him. Now that the Dark Side forces can't get past us to do anything to him, he's safe. ”

"Hmm." Abel nodded, "Hopefully he'll have a good night's sleep tonight." ”

At this time, the two of them happened to pass in front of Raphael's tent. Seeing that the candlestick inside was still lit, Bandak wondered, "It's been two hours since the incident, Raphael can't be asleep." ”

Able shook his head and said flatly, "He used to have a habit of sleeping with the lamp on. ”

"It's not good for your health, even though the tent is ventilated. But the smoke of the candlestick is not always suitable for the sleeper. Bandak worried.

"I think so too, I've said him countless times, but I still can't change it. He could only ask the patrolling soldiers to go in and blow out the menorah as they passed by his tent. Abel said helplessly.

"The soldiers should be too busy tonight." Bandak looked around and said, "Let's go in this time." ”

"Hmm." Able nodded. Then he gently lifted the curtain of the door with Bandak and walked in.

The moment he entered the tent, Abel felt something strange: several candlesticks in the room were lit.

With that in mind, Able ignored the candlesticks. Walked straight to Raphael's bed.

A piece of stationery was found next to Raphael's pillow.

"Hey, where are you going?" Bandak followed in Abel's footsteps, chased after him, and asked in a low voice, "What is this?" What does 'sorry' mean? ”

"Not good." A trace of fear crept over Able as he trembled and said, "Quick... Find out where Raphael went. ”

Bandak also sensed that something was wrong, and hurriedly ran out of the camp to inform the patrolling soldiers to help find Raphael's traces.

The entire barracks, because of this alarm, became lit up again.

The sound of footsteps waking up the sleeping soldiers, who shouted and cursed as they put on their coats and walked out of the camp to see what was going on. When the other soldiers heard the news of Raphael's disappearance, their faces turned grim.

"Bandak Commander!" A soldier ran up to Bandak and Able and reported urgently.

"Any news?" Bandak asked nervously.

"The soldier who got up at night said he saw Captain Raphael walking towards the shore in a single coat." The soldier exhaled deeply and said.

"When? Why didn't he stop Raphael! Abel asked.

"About an hour ago, he wasn't sure it was Captain Raphael, but when he heard about his disappearance, he rushed to report it to us." The soldier explained in detail.

"Send someone to the beach." Bandak ordered.

Able rushed out of the camp and ran towards the shore. Bandak looked at his back and chased after him. However, in front of Bandak, who cast a spell, he was thrown away a lot.

"Abel! You wait! Bandak shouted.

Abel didn't respond.

Traveling to the seashore, Abel searched for Raphael on the shore of what the soldier had said. Unexpectedly, he found a group of dwarves in uniform. They were carrying a pair of white stretchers.

"Wait, who are you?" Able called out to them and asked.

"Employees of the seaport." The dwarf in charge of the command replied indifferently, "What's the matter with you?" ”

"I'm looking for an elf. Called Raphael, you... Have you seen him? Able could see the white cloth on the stretcher, and his eyes were already red, but he kept to finish his words.

"Elves?" The dwarves carrying the stretchers glanced at each other and whispered.

The dwarven commander let several of his men put down their stretchers, looked up at Abel and said, "The elf you are looking for may be him." ”

Chapter 804: Sudden Death

When Bandak arrived, he saw Abel kneeling beside Raphael's body and breaking down and crying.

Bandak stood silently, looking out at the dark sea. There seems to be a cool breeze blowing in my heart.

The elf rushed aboard a ship and said he was looking for a Shadow. Because that Shadow Yan was also sent by your elves, we thought there was something to discuss. So he brought him to the shadow man. Unexpectedly, the two didn't say a word, and they fought. The scuffle lasted until the end, and both men fell from the side of the boat. Our men didn't get there in time, and by the time we managed to get the elf out of the sea, he had stopped breathing. Abel was so out of control that the dwarven crew could only explain to a relatively calm Bandak.

"So, what about the Shadow Bird?" After Bandak heard the whole thing, tears couldn't help but ooze from the corners of his eyes. Choked up and asked the crew.

"So far, we have only found this body. Salvage work is ongoing. The dwarf said apologetically, "It's part of our fault. For specific compensation matters, we will take the initiative to contact you within tomorrow. ”

After leaving this sentence, the Dwarven Commander returned to the harbor with the rest of the Dwarven crew.

"There's no way he doesn't know that he can't beat Shadow at all." Able spoke, trembling.

Thinking of the suicide note that Raphael left next to his pillow, it is clear that he intended to die.

"We're pushing him too hard." Bandak sat down beside the stretcher, looked at Abel's face blue from suffocation, and whispered.

"It's all my fault, I should find more time with him, as Lord Kant said." Able cried out in pain, "I know he's a man who thinks a lot. ”

Bandak remembered every smile Raphael had given him during his lifetime, and tears poured down his face.

After so many years of fighting on the battlefield, he did not make him indifferent to the existence of life, on the contrary, he respected every life.

Thinking of the warmth and affirmation that this pale face once brought to others, Bandak seemed to be stuck in his throat, unable to speak.

"Let's go, let's take him back." Bandak looked at Raphael, who was lying on the ground, and said with difficulty.

Able glanced back at him and agreed, "Okay." ”

The two men took up the stretcher and walked slowly in the direction of the camp.

The soldiers who were still searching the coast saw this scene and leaned over one after another, and after seeing Raphael's cold body, the atmosphere suddenly became quiet. They could only silently follow behind Bandak and Raphael. Sobbing voices were heard from the crowd.

Kant was standing at the gate of the camp waiting for news from the shore. In his hand, he clutched the suicide note left by Raphael. At this time, he did not have the aura he usually saw. The figure of walking back and forth looks a little thinner in the cold winter wind.

When the silent figure of Bandak's group appeared in sight, Kant's figure froze, and then his shoulders collapsed.

"Your Majesty Kant." Bandak and Abel put down their stretchers and bowed before Kant.

"What the hell is going on?" Kant's breath was so cold that no one could see that his hands were trembling.

Raphael went to find the Shadow. In the process of scuffling, the two stumbled and fell into the deep sea. Bandak's lips tightened, and he explained.

"Stumbling?" Kant crouched down and covered his face with his hands. A muffled voice came out: "I think Raphael did it on purpose." ”

Able also covered his eyes with his hands to prevent tears from flowing.

"It's been a long winter...", Bandak looked at the mournful faces of the soldiers behind him, and remembered the scene when he heard the death of the Karadia soldiers in the barracks, and a chill covered his body.

That night, Kant and others held a funeral for Raphael. Raphael's urn was taken by Abel with him. Because he said that he wanted to take him home with him.

Because of this sudden incident, the atmosphere of the elven soldiers became gloomy.

The soldiers who had besieged Raphael in the dining room a few days earlier were also in low spirits.

During this time, the Kalradia soldiers took on most of the tasks in the barracks. I want to relieve some stress for the depressed elven soldiers.

"The messenger sent me a message saying that the dragons wanted to meet us." Kant sat down at his desk and said to Bandak and Able, who were sitting across from him.

"Do we need to go to the volcano, then?" Able asked.

"Well, only this time, the dragons will send someone to pick us up. Eliminate the twists and turns along the way. Kant calmly explained: "I have already written a reply to them. Agreed to this meeting. ”

"Sure enough, the dragons were the first to strike." Bandak commented: "How far their network has expanded is that they are always in the driver's seat. ”

"The dragon clan invited us over this time, probably to find out about the series of accidents that have happened recently. I don't expect anything from them. Kant said indifferently.

Obviously, he didn't expect much from this meeting.

"Haven't the forces in the dwarven town moved yet?" Able asked.

"For the time being, no one has approached us yet." Bandak responded: "Shadow Bird's body is said to be parked in the morgue of the harbor

For several days, no one went to claim it. It seems that he is only playing the lowest role in the dark side forces. ”

"We don't have a lot of clues at the moment," Abel lamented.

"Let's take one step at a time," Kant began, "this time our army has settled under the volcano, just in time to see who the snake girl is in charge of contacting Shadow. When the time comes, there may be new clues. ”

"Definitely. I've been staying on the edge of this island, and I'm not very well informed about everything. Bandak nodded and said, "This time I went to the volcano, and I could live in a different environment and inquire about the situation on this island." ”

"The people sent by the dragons will come to pick us up in about three days. When the time comes, the camp will have to be abandoned. Kant thought for a while and explained to the two: "The atmosphere in the team has not been very good recently, and you two captains need to pay more attention." Help the soldiers to come out of the negative effects of the incident. ”

"Most of them feel ashamed of Raphael, and for the time being, it is estimated that they will not be able to untie this knot." Bandak's eyes darkened.

"What's there to feel guilty about." Able sighed softly, "Raphael just went to the world of 'gods' as he thought. ”
