Volume 8 Chapter 183 Captives and Swords

Where are dwarves strong?

The moment he heard this question, many answers had already appeared in Duland's mind - a large number, fearless of death, mysterious origins, the limits of the high-level profession above the peak, the strange and incomprehensible way of communication, and the vitality and combat power that were still immortal after being cut into several pieces......

But Duland, who lived through the Battle of the Zagul Mountains, discarded these answers almost instantly, and spat out a short sentence: "Strong is on defense." ”

Snell nodded slowly and solemnly: "I think so too. The strongest weapon of these black dwarves of unknown origin is their defense. It is precisely because of the defensive power that their numbers, means, energy levels, and fighting methods will become possible in front of our battle mage army. ”

As he spoke, Snell walked over to a nearby console and pressed a few switches.

Durand narrowed his eyes and watched the qiΔ“ quietly.

As soon as Snell pressed the switch, a large number of colorful formation patterns suddenly appeared in the cylindrical vessel. These formations were constructed into one miniature spell after another, overwhelmingly drowning the dwarven captives.

"Huh? These spells are ......" Durand's eyes moved.

Although the number of spells is extremely large, Durand's eye is so sharp that in an instant, he has recognized most of them, including the names and effects of the spells.

What is especially important to Durand is that these spells have one thing in common: reduced defense.

"It is better to increase one's own attack than to reduce the enemy's defense. This is the truth that many of our main planes recognize. Snell said, "If you want to deal with a black dwarf with strong defense, instead of increasing your attack, you should weaken the opponent's defense." This was the idea of all battle mages in the early days of the war, including the gods. ”

"But. We can't do it. ”

Snell's tone became extremely stern and rigid, as if he were giving an academic presentation.

He pointed to the roaring black dwarves in the vessel and said, "You have also seen these miniature spells simulated in formations. Contains a variety of defense-lowering effects - Fire Resistance, Ice Resistance, Elemental Resistance, Membrane Strength, Body Density, Bone Softening, Heart Aging, Tendon Gelatinization, Sendroe's Blood Curse, Spirit Judgment, ...... I've simulated hundreds of spells that reduce the enemy's defenses with the array pattern. However, none of them worked! Not even the slightest effect! Even some extremely out-of-the-way methods to lower defenses. I've tried it too, but it didn't work! ”

With that, Snell turned the switches off again, and the spell in the vessel vanished. The black dwarf struggled furiously, trying to pound the container, but was firmly tethered.

Durand stared at the dwarf's bodyβ€”unharmed.

The dark skin shone faintly, and there was not even the slightest sign of being weakened.

"See, this is the dwarven defense."

"Actually. I've even simulated some of the powerful classes of the other main planes, and the results have all been ineffective, without exception. Dwarven defense. Unaffected by any means of lowering defense, this is an 'absolute' defense. Moreover, the dwarf we caught was only at the level of a dwarf officer, and he didn't even have the physical realm, just a demigod. But its defense is strong enough to resist most of the combat techniques and spells of the Capable Body Realm! ”

Durand thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "I already knew what you said, but you just confirmed it further, and it is not new." ”

The black dwarves have top-notch defense, and only the Judgment Knife can lower their defenses - Durand has known this for a long time.

Because that's the biggest reason why the gods want to take Durand's sword!

"Let's get to the point, what do you think is really powerful about my sword? What does it have to do with this black dwarf? Durand asked.

"This dwarf was captured by us while cleaning up the battlefield in the Battle of the Zagul Mountains." Snell suddenly uttered such a sentence.

"Really!" Durand was taken aback, then furrowed his brows, and looked at Snell in confusion, not understanding what the other party was hinting at.

Snell continued: "This dwarf was captured in the Zagul Mountains, not long after the battle. I've investigated your path in the Battle of the Zagul Mountains, starting from the entrance and exit of the Ancient Road and heading north, right? Don't look at me like that, it's not a big secret that you're from an alien plane and have returned to Sendro from the Ancient Path, for someone like me who is qualified to participate in Sendlo's highest decision-making. ”

Durand said coldly: "And then? What exactly are you going to say? ”

"I'm going to say that this dwarf happened to be found and captured alive in one of the areas of the Zagul Mountains where you fought." "In other words, it may have fought you, it may have been one of the many dwarves who besieged you, it may have ...... I've been slashed by your sword. ”

Durand froze for a moment, vaguely thinking of something, but he was not sure.

Snell slowly continued, "Durand, your knife is the only weapon capable of breaking through the dwarves' absolute defenses. So, have you ever thought that maybe the relationship between your sword and the dwarf is more than just 'defense and defense'? Perhaps, your knife has something else to mean to the dwarves? ”

"Judging by your expression, I've probably guessed it, so I'll just say it."

Snell stopped selling the guanzi, suppressed his throat, and burst out a word: "This black dwarf, maybe it is because you have slashed it, so it will be captured alive, and it can be captured alive!" Durand, your knife may not only break through the defenses and kill the dwarves, but also make the dwarves self-detonate after they are captured in a way that you and I don't understand now...... Neutralization!! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

This time, Durand was silent for a long time before he gradually digested the other party's words: "What do you mean...... The reason why this only dwarven captive did not blow itself up after being captured alive was because - it may have been slashed by my sword? ”

"Yes, that's what I meant." Snell said, "Although I haven't figured out the principle of this. At present, it is only at the stage of conjecture. But if you're willing to join me in my research, and use your knife to match my work, maybe we'll be able to overcome the problem of black dwarves not being captured alive." ”

Snell's tone was more solemn than ever. And with the frenzy of finding an interesting topic: "As long as you can overcome this difficulty." I can catch more dwarves and be my real body! When the time comes. It has become possible to study the origin and powerful roots of the dwarves! ”

Durand sighed softly.

Hearing this, I basically understood it completely. Snell was so obsessed with knowing if he had really lost his sword that he had arranged for Yeyi to come to him for trouble. It turned out that it was because he felt that his knife had a heavy meaning for his research!

All along, Duland's attitude towards black dwarves was only to kill.

The Judgment Knife is a killing blade, and the power of the rules of judgment sweeps through, leaving the enemy unable to move, dodge, or defend, and it is not known how many black dwarves have been killed in the Battle of the Zagul Mountains.

Durand never imagined that his sword might have the ability to disrupt the dwarf's self-detonation mechanism.

"This thing. Who else but you and me know? Durand asked.

"It's gone." "Because it's still a guess, I haven't reported it to the gods. ”

Durand snorted. Tilting his head slightly, he was silent for a long, long time.

Duland's face changed, and finally spoke: "Snell, you know, I originally intended to cut you down after learning about your research. ”

Snell's face didn't move, and he nodded, "I know." ”

Durand continued: "Your first three studies, although they have aroused my interest, have not erased the murderous intent in my heart. ”

Snell snorted, "I understand. ”

"But your research on dwarven captives is of great significance to this dwarven war. Whether it is the deployment of bloodline ability or the embodiment of god-level ability, although it is very groundbreaking and subversive, it may not be good for us Sendelo. The fact that you can have two bodies, and both of them, just feels amazing to me. Even if I kill you and the three studies of the director die, I will not regret it. But your fourth study, since it has to do with the dwarven wars, has to do with the survival of SendrΓΈ, and ...... If it is for me, I will not be able to kill you here and now. ”

Durand said lightly.

Snell didn't say anything more, just listened quietly, because he knew that Durand didn't say it to him, but just Durand said it to himself.

These words are Duland's inner trade-offs, considerations, and even struggles.

To kill, or not to kill.

This question was not a problem at all, but now it has become a difficult choice question.

It's not that Durand didn't think about killing Snell, and then finding out the relevant research materials, handing them over to the Anemoly, and then cooperating with the Anemo God himself, following Snell's train of thought, to study down.

But after listening to Snell's introduction, Durand knew that the creative consciousness, the activity of his thinking, and the boldness of his conjecture in front of him were probably not comparable to the god of wind.

Snell is a real research maniac! But in order to win the dwarf war, madmen are indeed needed.

"I've decided not to kill you for now. Snell, you're probably laughing at me inside. Duland's face was calm, and he slowly pressed down with murderous intent.

He turned to Snell and smiled, "I remember your theory that said that my greatest weakness was my heart. You think I have too many bonds, too many principles, too many things to insist on. Now it seems that there is some truth to it. ”

"No, I don't mean to laugh at you." Snell seemed to finally breathe a sigh of relief, and then said seriously, "I actually have a lot of admiration for your weakness." Just like me, I'm obsessed with my research, and because I need to research, I need to live. And you are attacking this weakness of mine, so that I can force me to say so much. You and I are weak and strong! is the source of our strength. ”

Durand smiled slightly, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, what's on that table behind you?" ”
