Act Ninety-Nine: The Girl Who Manages the Line and the Fallen Dragon
After all, Chiara is still a child, and although she is a child when she analyzes it, she is inevitably at a loss when she really encounters a problem - the kobold mentor comes to Pori with a staff. Beside the anvil, pretending to cast a spell, Chiara and the elf couldn't help but turn pale with fright - it was at this time that Roman muttered softly and muttered, "It's strange that there are no magic ripples on that staff." β
As soon as she said this, Chiara and Shanni also sensed that something was wrong: although the kobold mentor's spell casting was decent, the spell in its mouth was not the same thing at all, not to mention that the law line in the space did not vibrate at all when it cast the spell, and the sea of magic did not wave, which was not at all a sign before the spell was cast, but like-
A god stick who pretends to be a god!
"Damn it!" Kiara reacted immediately, this kobold is not a mentor at all, he is just a liar who eats and drinks, this kind of charlatan is not uncommon among humans, and even some country lords are deceived by them.
Chiara's little face couldn't help but turn red and white, she had boasted that she was a genius, but she didn't expect to make the same mistakes as the hillbillies she had never looked down on in a few moments, and the little girl couldn't help but grit her teeth, for fear that she would be tempted to throw a horror spell at the damn kobold, so that he could understand why magic should not be desecrated.
Pori. The anvil was also frightened, he knew what was behind him, but just when he thought he was doomed, the kobold mentor nodded at him with satisfaction, and then motioned for the other goblins and kobolds to let him go. What was going on, the dwarven alchemist couldn't help but widen his eyes, he didn't expect that the spells of these little girls were so powerful that they could avoid magic detection, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. At the same time, I finally have some confidence in the other party's plan.
After a false alarm, the little team finally didn't get into any more trouble, and the dwarf Pori. Anvil was led through the camp by the goblins, and soon met the lady Shagoth.
The legendary lizard lady looked exactly like a lizard, but it was also a lizard that walked upright on both feet and wore a well-fitting leather armor. When Anvil sees her. The other man was reassuring his mount - it was an underground multi-legged lizard, the hapless creature was obviously not well adapted to the surface environment, a little uncomfortable, and looked sickly, and the uniformed Lady Sagoth carried a foul of foul-smelling carrion with a spear, and the latter also half-squinted his eyes and looked like he was not careful.
Finally, she threw the piece of meat aside in some irritation, and then slapped her paw and turned to look at the dwarf in front of her: "You said you were Pori. Anvil? β
The dwarf took a breath and nodded a little nervously.
Shagoth glanced at him, "What about the evidence?" β
Pori. The anvil seemed to be prepared, and without saying a word, he took out a metal insignia from his coat pocket. All of his precious alchemy materials had been soaked in the water, but the metal insignia itself was not affected by anything.
Lady Lizard glanced at the emblem and confirmed the identity of the other party, and then she replied, "One of the Earls has asked me to send you to the Golden Pine Castle, where your own men will be in charge of receiving you, and I can send a small group of underground lizard cavalry with you, but not too many, they can ensure that you will not be attacked from other quarters of Jogandegang." As for the route, it's up to you to choose, what mounts do you need? β
Who is Lord Earl? Chiara, who was hiding under the refractive light curtain, couldn't help but be slightly stunned. There are many counts in the empire, even if there are more than a dozen counts with real power, it is not easy to tell them by just one sentence. And their junction was at the Fort of Kinsong, in the mountains west of Asaph, which meant that Jogendegang had already prepared for the capture of Anzlova, and had considered this before arranging this plan, even including the route of evacuation if the plan was achieved or failed. The words 'premeditated' came to her mind like a bolt of lightning. She looks at Pori. The anvil did not look like he knew the earl, which meant that someone else was in charge of receiving him, if not for the sake of extinguishing his mouth, but for the sake of secrecy.
She frowned slightly. It seems that whether it is for secrecy or silence, it seems a little too outrageous to have an earl to carry out this task.
"I can ride any mount, I will ride a human horse." The dwarf said vaguely, for fear that he would say too much and miss the horse's feet.
Fortunately, Shagos was not his direct person in charge in the first place, and he didn't see any clues, and the former noddedβin fact, both of them only learned about each other's existence from the above channels temporarily, and now it was just a meeting that didn't know each other.
And it was at this time that Miss Chiara, who had been thinking for a long time, did not hear any useful information from the conversation between the two, and finally made up her mind to adopt the second plan, and she gently patted the elf on the shoulder, which startled the latter and subconsciously raised his head. Perhaps the movements of the two were too big, and Shagoth, who was talking to the dwarf, suddenly raised his head and swept his eyes to the place where the three were hiding: "Who is hiding there!" β
She snapped.
"Quick, elf!" Kiara shouted at the same time.
The elf had to make the only choice even if there were a thousand and ten thousand unwilling at this time, and she raised the demon slayer gun in her hand as soon as she raised it, and there was a soft 'buzz', and a faint silver light pointed at Ms. Shagoth's chest. As soon as she made a move, the three of them immediately appeared from the state of invisibility, although Roman's stealth spell was peculiar, but after all, it was a low-ring spell, and it could not be maintained even after the recipient showed hostility or attack movement.
"Shagoth, if you don't want to die, don't move, don't make a sound!" As soon as Kiara appeared, she immediately coldly threatened the lizard lady not far away, as if she was afraid that one of the other party would accidentally call her guards over, and at that time it was really a question whether they let the elf make a move or not.
But she actually thought too much, the moment Shagoth was locked by the Demon Slayer Spear, it was like falling into an ice cave, after all, it was the ancient magic spear second only to the secondary artifact, and it was also a relatively rare ancient weapon that had a single effect, and its lethality could even penetrate the defenses of some high-ranking demons, and how could Shagoth be matched.
After a moment of chilling all over her body, the lizard lady finally recovered. She looked coldly at the children, and then at the dwarf in front of her, as if she understood something: "Damn it, you traitor!" β
Pori. The fire anvil was also stunned, this was not the same as what he had said, and he looked at the three demons angrily. Finally realized that he had been deceived again: "You hateful liars! β
"You can't slander the reputation of a noble lady, I didn't lie to you." Kiara replied disdainfully, "I asked you to do this, but I didn't mean to force you in the slightest, did I ask you to ask this female lizard to get information, no." I'm just asking you to tell him what happened since yesterday, and it's in your interest, that's why you choose that, and as for what we do, that's our freedom. It's all your own stupidity. We followed you into the camp, but that doesn't mean you brought us in, you can be recognized, it's because you're too stupid to carve rotten woodβ"
Pori. The fire anvil is dumbfounded, can it still be like this? He vaguely felt that there was something wrong with this set of arguments, but it sounded very reasonable, and for a while it was fixed there as if he had been petrified.
It's Shagoth. Squinting at the little girls, she had never been to the surface world. But she recognized that they were just children, but it was these abominable little imps, who were facing her with a weapon she had never seen before, and the mere breath of it was enough to make her feel terrified, and she had no doubt that if she made the slightest move, these abominable little creatures would be beaten to ashes by herself. The horror on that spear doesn't lie.
But she still hadn't figured out what was going on, and finally couldn't help but ask coldly, "Who are you?" β
"It doesn't matter who we are, Shagoth, you just need to know that she's holding a demon-slaying spear, even in the underground of Jogandegang. I'm sure you've heard of this spear too. Chiara patted the elf on the shoulder and replied with a smile.
It turned out to be a demon slaying spear, Shagoth's face changed suddenly, this spear was once a nightmare for countless demons, it established a great reputation under the river of brimstone, Jogandegang was built on the upper level of the Scorching Hell, the inhabitants of the underground often have to deal with demons, as a native there, she naturally would not have heard of the name of this gun. The magic ripple of the spear in the elf's hand was so rich that it could never be a counterfeit, and she had experienced a hundred battles in the underworld, and she still had this vision.
"What do you want to do?" Shagoth almost squeezed the words out of his throat.
"Now that you are our captive, you are naturally following our orders." Kiara replied.
"You're dreaming!" Shagoth laughed angrily, if he wanted to surrender to such a few little hairy children, it was better to kill her: "If you want anything from me, just do it, I don't believe you dare to kill me, and you don't want to get out of this camp." β
"Cut," Kiara saw that she couldn't help but retreat, she knew that this lizard lady was also a lord, and she was far more knowledgeable and courageous than the stupid dwarf, "We want to confirm some information from you, but I'm more interested in who you say the Earl is." β
"That's it?" Scargoth breathed a sigh of relief, at least the bear kids weren't coming at her: "I don't know that guy, but I've heard people call him Count Rodney in private." β
Then she replied, somewhat annoyed, "Little one, you're going to make a big fussβ"
This is where Sagos and Pori are seen. The difference between the anvil and the anvil is that the latter is reluctant to say who is involved with it, while the former doesn't care at all, Kiara's eyes light up slightly, maybe in the eyes of others this is just the difference in the personalities of the two, but in her opinion, there is a big problem here. The crux of the matter is that, apparently, Pori. Anvil is an insider, and his leak is a betrayal, fearing retribution from his colleagues, who are peripheral members of the plan, so he can betray information without psychological burden.
This shows that these underground inhabitants of Jorgane are not exactly the same as humans in some ways, and combined with the tone of the previous dragon, it seems likely that their cooperation with humans is only based on the upper echelons.
Chiara vaguely guessed something, she subconsciously bit her fingertips, and casually sneered: "You Qiaogendigang people are really exactly the same as the rumors, selfish, and you don't hesitate to make a deal with my enemy." β
"Acting in your own interests. "That's right," replied Sagath disapprovingly, and it did have to do with her character as a resident of Jogandigan - selfishness - which was the tradition of Jogandigan, where her own safety came first, and everything else was something that could be exchanged, if the benefits outweighed the risks. She doesn't mind working with the enemy. And now, in order to save her life, she doesn't mind betraying others.
"Rodney, Rodney." Chiara muttered to herself, "I think I've heard the name there, yesβ" she seemed to remember at once.
Isn't that the wretched brother of the Archduke Erechco, is this matter related to the Erechko family, Chiara couldn't help but shake her head, although the family behind this green army is also a big force in the empire, but it doesn't seem to be strong enough to make the dragon clan.
While she was pondering, Roman suddenly let out an exclamation. Suddenly, a gust of wind swept through the woodland, staggering everyone to the ground.
β¦β¦
When the wind hit, Brando was teaching Haruzer magic, of course, he didn't know any spells himself, but there were also St. Ossol and Ortales in his spiritual world, but the Wind Queen seemed to have become a little silent recently, and rarely took the initiative to appear when he was not teaching Haruzer. Brando always felt that she was studying something in private, but she couldn't ask why. It seems that the Sage has been like this since he retrieved the two Wind Queen Rings from the Hunter Maiden and her brother.
The elf sister is talking about the basic theory of magic today, the three basic lines of the law that extends from the magic triangle, elements, energy and laws, the elements represent the world of Vaund's matter, and the energy represents the vast sea of magic. The law is the skeleton of the world, and Martha uses all three to build the world as seen by mortal eyes, and it is the ultimate truth that wizards see. Of course, these theories sound profound, but for the introductory apprentice, there is no need to understand such complex knowledge, in fact, only to understand how the thread of laws acts on the material world. It means that you have really entered the realm of magic.
In other words, it is actually possible to cast ring spells - of course, such as the sparkling spells before Haruzer do not count.
The process of teaching is also very simple and crude, in fact, it has almost never changed since Tumen taught the magic, in short, it is just a matter of repeated practice of simulating the projection of the thread of the law of attraction on the sea of magic.
Haruzer's spell casting movements are still very clumsy, no matter how talented he is, after all, he is only a 'novice' who has been exposed to magic for less than half a year, but Brando has the patience to correct himself as a student over and over again. The little prince practiced for a long time, until he was sweating profusely with steamed buns, and then he suddenly remembered something, raised his head and looked at his teacher with light silver eyes, and said, "Teacher, Sister Lesmerka said she wanted to meet you." β
"Lesmeka?" Brando was slightly stunned, not understanding how his student could talk about this matter absent-mindedly, knowing that he was preoccupied with everything he did on weekdays, and would definitely not be distracted for no reason. He was almost stunned for a moment before he remembered the name of the Medusa who was following the little prince: "What is she looking for me for?" β
"Sister Lesmeka says she probably knows why Jogan is invading the surface world on such a large scale." The little prince tried to think about it for a moment before he replied earnestly, word by word.
"What!"
Brando suddenly stood up: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" β
Haruzer was startled, he was already timid, and now he was even more frightened and speechless. Seeing this, Brando realized that he had overreacted, but this was indeed the puzzle that had been bothering him for a while - the invasion of Jogan was completely out of history, and in his understanding, there must be a reason, but because the surface world had no understanding of the underworld, he couldn't gather any relevant information, let alone analyze why it was so, but he never dreamed that the mystery was actually around him - maybe so.
He breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "When did she sue you for this?" β
"Earlier today."
Brando was not stupid, and immediately reacted in his heart, which meant that the Medusa might not have made up her mind to tell the secret, but it must have been something that caused her to change her mind.
From last night to today, it seems that something big has happened, but he thinks that the biggest shock for everyone is probably the dragon.
When he was thinking of Malthus, all of a sudden, there was a strong wind in the mountains and forests, Brando was okay, the strength of the side of the truth made this sudden wind no different from a breeze to him, but Prince Haruzer beside him was caught off guard and screamed and was blown away, if it weren't for Brando's quick hand and eyes to pull him down, I can't say how far this wind will blow the other party.
"Thank you...... Thank you......" replied the little prince in shock.
But Brando looked up at the clear sky, and couldn't help but think in his heart, it's not so cheating, right, just thought of that damn dragon, this guy is here?
He didn't guess wrong, the violent air that fell from mid-air was the storm brought by the dragon's wings, and in an instant, two huge floating shadows flashed in the sky, but the only thing that made Brando happy was that it was not Malthus, it was Mithriel he had seen last night, and Modesty, who had just flown away. In the air, there was even the shrill roar of the female dragon:
"Damn slut, you dare to sneak up on me, I'm going to kill you!"
With this roar, a shadow suddenly pressed in from mid-air, and it tended to grow larger and larger, and Brando looked in the direction in amazement, as a huge object fell from the sky and fell straight down from where they were.
Damn, no!
