Legend has it that Sir de Anies was an adventurer for a while when he was young. During a fortuitous journey, a powerful magic flail was obtained. With this powerful weapon, he made a name for himself in the central region of Am. With a good reputation and an excellent sense of political affairs, he led the family to the center of power in Ascatra within twenty years.

Although this magic weapon is very powerful, it has a fatal drawback, that is, it exudes powerful magical energy all the time. Sir apparently noticed this too, so he split it into three parts, which were then hidden in the corners of the castle. But this obviously doesn't stop those snoopers, otherwise they won't be besieged by monsters.

At this moment, Sir Anies was tied to a stone pillar, and there was no longer a single intact piece of skin on his body. A troll over four meters tall stood next to him with a cruel smile on his face.

"Human, you'd better tell what you know, so that you can suffer a little less. You must know that my great master has so much power that the castle will be burned to ashes at the slightest sneeze. ”

Sir de Anies raised his head with difficulty and spat at the blood foam. "Phew! Even if I die, you don't want to get "years". Go back and sue your wicked master, and it will be punished one day. ”

"Hahahaha! Retribution? What is this! Can you eat it? The troll let out a wild laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world. It poked Jazz's head with its thick fingers. "Pathetic human, you feel on this land. Who would dare to oppose my master? A believer in a good God? Or those self-righteous paladins? No! The whole country trembled under the power of the master, and those masked mages and knights did not even dare to show their faces. ”

Hearing the monster's sarcasm, Sir de Anies closed his eyes in despair. He knew that what the other party said was the truth. No one in Amm dared to provoke Baragas "Flying Flame". Back then, this primeval red dragon even landed on the roof of the Ascatra Council building, and as a result, no one from the masked mage, the Knights of the Heathed Heart, the Shadow Thieves Guild, and the major temples dared to stand up and confront it head-on.

Of course, there are some reasons not to want the city to be baptized by war, but more often than not, fear and fear. The primeval dragons are not fools, they will use their flight speed to launch attacks again and again. Except for a limited number of legendary mages, most of the Paladin, Cleric, Mage, Warlock and other professions are no match at all, and a single dragon's breath can kill a large number of people.

It is said that Baragas spat out flames. The temperature is so high that it can even melt pure gold, hence the nickname "Flying Flame". The organizations it personally destroyed Miè include Starfire, Coins, Ryan Tavin's caravan, the Mage Tower in the eastern part of Tyrode, the pirate fleet of the Silverblade Council, and more. In addition, there was friction with Santarin, and the opponent suffered a big loss. It can be said that in the entire Faren Continent, it is almost difficult to find a second evil dragon that is so violent.

Looking at Jazz's desperate expression, a smug smile appeared on the troll's ugly face. It used its sharp nails to cut a bloody streak on the other's face. "Say it! Where did you hide the "years"? Don't forget. You also have a daughter and sister. If you don't want them to have any accidents. It's better to be honest, otherwise ......"

――――――――――――――――――――――

The group learned about the magic flail from Delson's mouth, and immediately searched the entire warehouse area. Finally, I found a secret door on the west wall, and when I entered it, I found that there was actually a magic stove here, and on the iron felt next to it, there were several flail grips.

Henry tried to inject a trace of mana into the furnace, and in a matter of seconds, a passage to the fire elemental plane was opened. Blue-white flames poured out from below. The whole room was lit up. He picked up a long sword from the shelf and leaned in, the blade of which was burned to molten iron in a matter of seconds. It looks like it's at least 1,500 degrees or more.

"It's incredible, it's the first time I've ever seen a stove so delicately constructed that it can be used at any time without having to preheat it." Hina said with emotion. Her adoptive father was a well-known blacksmith in the north, so he was all too familiar with forging tools.

Henry nodded slightly. "You're right. Even the furnace in the workshop of the algorithm tower could not have such a high temperature. The people who built it must have spent a lot of money in the first place, and it would cost at least hundreds of thousands of gold coins to solidify an outer plane passage, and it would also require at least a spell level of seventeen or above. ”

While they were inspecting the inner workings of the stove, Ammon next to them had touched a mechanism that suddenly opened a wall. Through a dim light, everyone saw that it was filled with various statues. Naria looked surprised, she had never known that the castle was hiding so many secrets.

"Look! Something seems to be hidden underneath this statue! Ammon lifted the pedestal of a lion statue and took out a dark blue flail and a ring that looked a little old.

Naria hurriedly rushed over to identify herself, and then excitedly said to the others, "That's right! This is part of the father's flail, and there are two more heads like this. ”

"In that case, put this head back on the grip. Anyway, the stoves are ready-made and only take a few minutes to make. With that, Henry picked up the tongs and began to work.

Although he hadn't forged anything himself in a long time, his craft hadn't become rusty because of it. The grip was thrown into a hot fire, and then the joints were broken with iron tongs, and the head of the flail was hung up. Finally, it is repeatedly forged with a hammer until there is no gap in the joint. While the flail was still cooling, he also identified the ring.

Ring of Earth:

If the minstrels' songs are true, then as long as a person wears this ring, they can gain the ability to control the earth element. Of course, earth elements are not easy to control, and you have to be very careful when ordering them. The angry earth elemental can cause the unwary adventurer to end their lives early.

Equipment Capabilities:

The user's skin is attached to a layer of earth elemental energy, which slightly increases some physical defense.

Special Abilities:

Once a day, the Enchanting Earth Elemental lasts forty-five seconds

Depetrify once a day

A pretty good magic ring, judging by the pattern on it, is at least a thousand years old. Since it was found inside Deanisberg, Henry gave it to Naria along with the flail. However, the latter rejected two magical items, which in her opinion were the source of calamity, especially the magic flail, without which the monsters would not have come to attack the castle.

Since the owner didn't want it, Henry unceremoniously handed over the ring to Sheena, and the flail was put into the dimensional bag. He knew that this weapon could only be truly powerful if he had three heads together, and he had no use before that. After distributing the loot, the group opened the door to the hall.

Before he could walk to the door, Aemon pinched his nose and took a few steps back, cursing in a low voice, "Damn! What a taste it is! It stinks! ”

"It's the stench of corpses coming from decomposing bodies. I think the hall ahead has become a troll table, and the smell is probably from the bones and guts left over from eating. Henry explained with a frown. He could already imagine what was going to happen ahead of him, so he quickly reminded everyone.

After hearing the words corpse, bones, and internal organs, Naria's face turned white. She only felt that her stomach was churning, and although she was already trying her best to suppress it, she still couldn't hold back in the end, and ran to the corner of the wall and vomited out green bile.

Shantil glanced at Naria, who was crouching in the corner, and whispered to Henry, "Master, I think this noble girl should be let go, otherwise she will die at the hands of monsters sooner or later." ”

After a moment of careful consideration, Henry shook his head. "No, the castle is too big, and there must be someone familiar with the internal structure. Naria, though not very useful in the battle, can at least show us the way. ”

Shantil shrugged her shoulders indifferently. "Okay then, but I'd better keep her away from the battle, otherwise if there is a large-scale scuffle, she will be accidentally injured."

A few minutes later, Ammon slipped back from the side after scouting in the hall. As soon as she entered the house, she said to the others in a trembling voice, "It's terrible! The hall was almost like a slaughterhouse, littered with dry blood, intestines, gnawed heads, bones, and other bits and pieces. In terms of number and scale, at least hundreds of people were killed. ”

"These damned beasts! I'm going to kill them all! Sheena's eyes began to redden, a bit like a burning fireball. It's a sign of the half-dragon's anger, and it seems that these trolls really provoke her.

Henry was also a little angry, but as a mage, he still forced himself to calm down and continued to ask, "How many enemies are there in the hall, and what are the types?" ”

"A dozen mountain trolls, and six or seven more flickering monsters, but I don't recognize their species."

Hearing Ammon's description, combined with his own memories, Henry immediately confirmed that they had encountered soul trolls, and there were quite a few of them. You must know that this kind of monster is much more troublesome than ordinary trolls, they not only have super regeneration and invisibility abilities, but also can cast a lot of magic skills.

Almost every Soul Troll has a priest level, and although it generally does not exceed level ten, it is also a very dangerous enemy. According to the book, physical attacks pose no threat to them at all. Even if it is sliced to pieces by a sharp magic weapon, it can be reintegrated in less than a minute. (To be continued......)
