Chapter 0787: Dark Invasion
Underground creatures have appeared!
As the scope of the reconnaissance continues to expand, in a short period of time, three underground forces under different banners have been discovered in the vast territory of the Eltien States. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
For a time, the states shook, and the major cities sounded the highest alarm. The latest situation was conveyed back and forth, and the heralds even blocked the roads, and all kinds of trail information were noisy, which made the residents of the states startled three times a day.
For the inhabitants living on the surface, the so-called underground creatures should only appear in knightly novels as defeated monsters. Hideous and hideous, with venom-smeared daggers in their hands, they hide in the deep shadows, ready to attack every human who dares to enter the dark realms.
In the middle of the night, it is the time when these terrible demons go out to hunt.
They reach the surface through a labyrinth of underground passages that twist and turn, and hunt humans in nearby villages. All humans who run around in the mountains and forests late at night are likely to encounter them.
Every small village in the middle of nowhere, there are legends of these "midnight demons". Almost every human on the surface has been indoctrinated with such terrible ideas by adults at some point.
Underground creatures specialize in eating people. They're all demons. They cannot coexist with surface humans.
Such a concept can be said to be the inherent cognition of human beings on the surface of the strange underground world. Although there is some demonization taste, but in essence, in fact, there is not much deviation.
Although there are many native natives living in the underworld, if you really look closely, you will find that most of the powerful clans that dominate the dark region are the losers of the political struggle that has been driven from the surface world to the underworld. Whether it's the Dark Elves, or the Mind Flayer, or the Eye Demon, the Grey Dwarf, or the Dwarf, they are all outsiders.
So, broadly speaking, the underworld is also generally hostile to the surface world with deep malice and hatred. Any surface human who strays into the Underworld usually doesn't end well. And the Drow Elves, a powerful underground race, have maintained the bloody ritual of killing surface races as a rite of passage for the descendants of the family.
Most of the terrible legends about the creatures of the earth that have been circulated among the people are also based on this.
Against such a backdrop of mutual hatred and hatred, how can a large-scale underground creature rush out of the surface of the earth, and not arouse the concern and tension of the countries concerned?
Due to the unique geographical characteristics of the Dark Regions, the direct entrance and exit of the Underworld to the surface is a rare resource, so most of the drow cities in the shallow layer have one or two such safe exits. The drows of the deep regions who want to go up to the surface to complete the rite of passage will have to pay them a lot of tolls. It is also an important income for the superficial drow city.
However, over the years, the drow's frenzied killing and blood sacrifices have also allowed the approximate location of these surface entrances and exits to be controlled by the human realm. Therefore, many kingdoms with such entrances and exits will also station elite troops near them to protect the human villages on the left and right. And some wandering powerhouses and organized mercenary groups who want to hone their combat skills will also squat near these entrances and exits for a long time, trying to ambush those lone drows who slipped out late at night.
Most of the drow slaves in the human realm were obtained this way.
Perhaps because of the impact of the theft of the "Dragon's Heart", the underground world has experienced a rare convergence after experiencing rapid turmoil. Shouting the loud slogan of "Rush out of the surface", they launched a propaganda offensive against the surface in the entire field of the dark region, directly triggering a great rebellion in the entire underground world.
It was the powerful clans that had fought underground before that started this all-domain war. As if they had secretly reached some kind of agreement, they no longer attacked each other, but split up to find the nearest path near their lair, and directly set foot on the surface world.
Unfortunately for the Eltien States, the entrances and exits of their territory are filled with the most powerful elite troops of the Drow among the Dark People. Moreover, it was Morsoblay City that took the lead, uniting a combined force composed of seven or eight Drow cities. What's even more terrifying is that there are also terrifying underground black dragons in the Drow team.
You must know that after thousands of years of hard work in the human world, the Klein Continent has completely turned into a human-dominated main continent. The dragons that once lived in the sky have gradually receded into the background with the rise of humans, and they can no longer be seen in the Crane Continent.
There has been no shadow of dragons in the Crane Continent for thousands of years. But today, the underground black dragon is here!
Therefore, while all the united cities of the Eltien States were panicking, some human powerhouses who had long wanted to slay dragons were applauding and celebrating, sharpening their swords one after another, and began to pay attention to this "dark invasion" that occurred in the middle of the Crane continent.
But this "welfare" is not an isolated event exclusive to the Eltien states, but a full-scale underground counteroffensive. Therefore, in the rest of the countries, there are also alarms of the discovery of underground creatures.
There are many Eye-Demons in the Elam Wilderness of the Plains of Taranta, and it is said that a small city has already fallen. This can't help but embarrass the country of mercenaries, which has always had the most free legends, and the three major mercenary groups are trying to negotiate a joint effort to eliminate these hateful invaders.
In the Kingdom of Hiralg, there are also terrifying Mind Flayer troops, and many human villages and towns near the entrance and exit have become rations for the monsters. The Kingdom of Hiralg is the Bishopric of the Church of Morning Light, and if they can't extinguish these dark creatures as soon as possible, then it will inevitably shake their strong image in the eyes of their own people and reduce the devotion of the faith.
Therefore, a vigorous and powerful crusade against the children of darkness is being waged there.
ā¦ā¦ā¦ā¦
With the ravages of dark creatures, there was a hint of turmoil in the entire Klein continent.
The more times like this come, the more important it is for the major powers to hold on to their own territory, trying to stabilize their territory in the coming turmoil, and try their best to devour those who have fallen.
And in such an atmosphere, Li Xun also gathered many dragon lich think tanks and began to simulate and deduce the development of the situation in the Klein Continent in the future.
In fact, it is not accurate to say that it is a situation deduction. Seriously, it is the many dragon lich who have worked hard to sort out the information gathered from all over the place. More reliable information was directly added to the deduction parameters, and some of the information of the claws of the piece was handed over to the dragon lich team led by Falina for spell verification.
To this end, the Undercity Mage Tower also set up a huge prophecy circle.
This is a 12-ring mystical prophecy circle, each time it needs to be driven by at least 12 high-level dragon lichs, and the center of the circle is presided over by the wizard master Farina. The prophecy circle was born out of mysticism, but with the continuous improvement of tens of thousands of years of spellcasters, it has gradually developed its own complete operating system.
Take the 12-ring mystic prophecy circle in front of you! You say it's just a pile of garbage. Because this extravagant circle made of pure gold with a base made of gold, Mithril woven rune lines, and magic gems as nodes is both powerful and small, its strength depends entirely on the prophecy talent of the person who presides over the circle.
If the host uses the 9th Rank Prayer Technique to ask about the future development of the Crane Plane, then the powerful force of fate will instantly drain the lives of all casters involved in the prophecy, and no information can be returned.
As for the reason? Hmph, because the vitality demand to push the "Wheel of Fortune" to complete this deduction is too huge for you to support at all, so you can't get the result. It is not that the prophecy circle is not bright, but that you want to control the grand plane world with a small personal force, and this is the end of your self-indulgence.
So experienced soothsayers understand that the more vague your questions are, the more vain the feedback you get. Of course, fate is never wrong, it's just your understanding that is wrong. An ant lying on top of an elephant should never try to paint a complete image of the elephant in his mind, because that is beyond your comprehension.
As a result, the Wish is one of the most powerful and elusive spells, and the slightest mismatch in the wish is likely to result in unexpected spell effects. In fact, there have been many mages who have not been smart enough to suffer from it. Their lackluster rhetoric led to terrible results, even risking their own lives.
For example, if you cast a wish spell on a person who died of poisoning, you ask to go back in time to the moment before he died. Then when the prayer is successful, you are lucky to see that your dead companion has been resurrected by the power of the spell. But before the smile can bloom on your face, the poison that retraces synchronously will take his life again.
As a result, a high-level prayer technique that cost a lot of money was missed.
That's the horror of prayer.
It does answer your prayers and makes your "wishes" come true. However, whether the final result will meet your expectations is a matter of fate. Of course, if you are not afraid of a prayer that drains your life, you can also pray that he will return to the best state of life a year ago. Then the usual result is that you are drained of your life as the supplicant and die, and his prayer fails due to the lack of vitality to promote the prayer.
This is actually the most common result of the Prayer Technique.
Reversing cause and effect, the cost of breaking the rules is often too great for an individual to bear.
Farina, who has the reputation of "Prophet of Death", would not make those mistakes that only rookies make. Every time she got the information that needed to be verified, she would carefully and carefully choose her language, choose the appropriate level of prayer, and strive to suppress the prophecy backlash within the range that the circle could bear.
Even with such care, the Necropolis still lost 3 dragon lichs in the 2-hour prophecy.
