Volume 2 The Imminent Threat Chapter 61 Elves and flying things are indeed natural enemies
It is generally believed that gargoyles are sapient. Even if it doesn't seem very smart, it certainly has the basic ability to think as a predator. They even have special hobbies, such as eating fallen enemies in order to inflict pain on their opponents, or torturing them after capturing them.
The gargoyles also speak the lingua franca and the native language, and when hordes of gargoyles gather together, they will brag to each other and boast of their greatness.
And in fact, gargoyles don't. As constructs, they are lifeless, emotionless machines, faithfully carrying out the last orders of their masters. The maker gives commands to the gargoyle through a pre-set control token during the production process, plus the corresponding language commands. Of course, too fine commands can't preset a gargoyle.
Gargoyles, who are generally considered to be wise, are actually called "gargoyles" in the Bestiary compiled by academic wizards. Gargoyles and gargoyles are only very different in name, and they are extremely similar in appearance, and many times wizards refer to the appearance of gargoyles when making gargoyles.
Gargoyles and gargoyles are so similar in appearance, behavior, and fighting style that it's not surprising that uninformed people confuse the two.
It should be a gargoyle that is rushing down in front of you...... Yes, it should be a gargoyle.
Gargoyles are magical creatures with complete autonomous consciousness and can be classified as earth-elemental creatures. If you encounter a gargoyle, the stone creatures will attack at Lianhe Fort. Don't subjectively think that the earth elemental creatures like gargoyles are slow to move and react, and the so-called reflection arc is relatively long. The slowness that defines earth elemental creatures is relative to the speed of wind elemental creatures. In the eyes of ordinary people, the speed of the gargoyle is definitely faster than that of a normal person!
Gargoyles, on the other hand, are puppets that obey the orders of the maker, and their movements and reactions are really slow. Even if the makers have preset orders in advance and given clear orders, they still need a certain amount of time to react behind enemy lines. For example, the phenomenon of the little gargoyle dropping debris all over its body when it is activated, on the one hand, it is "warming up", and on the other hand, it is also "confirming" the instructions given by the maker, which is naturally slow.
The group did not stay in Lianhe Fort for a long time, and the time they were exposed to the gargoyle's vision was even shorter, and they may only have a "glimpse". I don't know which unlucky guy was seen and then "love at first sight". The gargoyle was reluctant to leave his "lover", and spread his wings to chase after him.
- Oh, I remember, it's not necessarily angels who have wings, but also birdmen. And gargoyles!
Lady Moghley watched intently at the ugly monster that was slowly accelerating its fall in the sky.
It's not impossible to harass by attacking first, it's pointless. Unless you complete the elemental civilization and enter the silver rank, the "kitchen knife class" will always lack effective long-range attacks. Gargoyles are veritable thick-skinned and thick-fleshed, and as long as they are not enchanted, they are almost tickling in front of them. In the same class that is not specialized in marksmen, the bow and arrow shot are estimated to leave a mark on the gargoyle barely enough.
Fang Qiuling had a small and superb crossbow in his hand, and the effect was good when he cleared the orcs before. But now he doesn't use it at all, because it's completely pointless, and it doesn't even count as harassment.
The cyan vindictiveness was high, and Lady Mogre crouched slightly, as if waiting for the gargoyle to lower a few more heights, and then leaped to her feet to attack first.
However, Lady Moghley is not the kind of young paladin with high blood, and it would be unwise to jump into an aerial battle with a gargoyle with natural flying abilities. Her plan was to dodge the gargoyle's first attack, then lure the gargoyle into the woodland and use the trees to limit the larger gargoyles to gain an advantage.
She was standing just a few steps from the woodland. Whether or not the gargoyle could pounce on her, it was inevitable that he would crash into the woodland behind him. Such a battle intent coincided with Fang Qiuling's thoughts. After entering the woodland, Qiu Ling pulled Old Tom and Lily back again and again, choosing a thicker tree as cover.
The axe in the hand of the "Clock Tower Monster" flashed with a cold light, and it seemed to be extremely sharp. However, Fang Qiuling, who had fought with the "Clock Tower Monster" many times in the game, knew that this axe was actually a blunt weapon, and there was no blade on the axe. An unbladed axe can also cut down trees, but the effort is certain. It takes space to swing the axe, and there is obviously no distance to do so in the woodland, so ......
A crisp string sound sounded beside him, and a silver glow flashed. The gargoyle's outstretched wings instantly pinned an arrow.
With the naked eye, you can see the tip of the arrow emitting a silver glow. The next moment, the silver brilliance exploded. Half of the gargoyle's wings were immediately blown to pieces. Losing half of its wings, the gargoyle instantly lost its balance, its body tilted, and it fell straight from the air.
Gargoyles' ability to fly is not carried out by flapping their wings to obtain sufficient airflow lift, but by flapping their wings, they mobilize the free form of Mana in space and fly in a "magical" way. Although airflow lift is not required to fly, wings are still necessary for gargoyles to fly in the sky. And now that the wings are half blown off, it is not a matter of course to fall.
The gargoyle, who had lost half of its wings, slammed to the ground by inertia, less than ten meters away from the waiting Lady Mogre.
There were no wings to adjust the stance of the landing, and there were no reinforced limbs to cushion it, and even the special stone that had been magically treated could not withstand such a heavy fall. The "Clock Tower Monster" fell halfway, and the cold light of the axe flew out of its claws, and the other wing was immediately broken.
- Meow Meow, what's going on?
Fang Qiuling was a little stunned. But before he could react, two more crisp strings sounded in his ears. Two small gargoyles fell in response. Out of the corner of his eye, a green figure with a longbow flashed.
- It's an elf, and it's an elven archer at all!
Lady Mogre also saw the glittering silver arrows, and although it was unknown who shot them, the target of the attack was the gargoyle, apparently friend and foe. The gargoyle in front of him was hit hard and was struggling to get up.
The cyan fighting qi instantly turned into a flame of light, and the sword light on the cross sword skyrocketed, slashing towards the gargoyle.
Chop off the head first and stun this guy. Then cut the tail, the trident-shaped tail is a huge threat, and the early to cut it off is safe to reassure. Chop the limbs again, and the sharp fingers and claws were cut off for the first time......
Lady Moghley frantically threw out a frenzy at the fallen gargoyle, scattering stone chips. Fang Qiuling blinked, and suddenly had the illusion that he was looking at "Monster Hunter".
- The archer breaks his wings in the air and hits a big hitstun. Melee immediately followed with full force output.
- A big sword, a sword, a sword drawn, a three-level charge. First break the head, then cut the tail, and then fancy pedicure.
- It's a pity that I'm not a big sword drawer, I'm a double sword mad medicine flow. Otherwise, we can communicate with each other.
The threat is lifted. I originally thought it would be a hard battle, but I didn't expect to be taught by the elven archers to be a man every minute. Able to shoot arrows with a silver-white glow, if nothing else, it should be a silver-rank powerhouse. Career guess is an advanced class for the Magic Shooter, Silver Moon Shooter? Or is it the Moonlit Night Ranger?
Sure enough, the elf in emerald green leather fell lightly in front of him.
Elf: "Human, this is not the place where you should be. ”
Elven "I'm sorry, Sons of the Forest. In order to hide from evil, we had to hide here. ”
The elf's voice in front of him was low and slightly hoarse. Fang Qiuling glanced at it a few times, and couldn't determine whether it was "him" or "her" for the time being. Judging from this person's costume and the scimitar hanging from his waist, he should be a ranger, a ranger in charge of guarding the village.
Elvish "Evil? The words describing the character seemed to raise the elve's alarm, "Where are you from?" ”
"We are from the town of Lakesprings in the south, and we are the escort of the caravan and are heading to the north. This year's year is not very good, so I have to take advantage of the fact that it has not snowed yet. However, we were attacked by the undead on the way, and we lost most of our goods and manpower. Now on the run. ”
Fang Qiuling explained his origin and purpose very honestly. Everything he said was true, but after concealing the caravan's motives, his description sounded like a caravan had a "chance encounter" with the undead and was then devastated.
Several more emerald green figures appeared. Seeing that there were already companions interrogating the "invaders", the elves who arrived later did not approach, and stood high on the branches of the trees to observe.
The elf's brow furrowed.
I originally thought it was a traveler who accidentally entered the woodland, but I didn't expect it to be an unlucky ghost who was chased by the undead. However, as the guardian of the Morey Forest, the elf did not remember that there were undead in the vicinity
Elven "Undead? Young traveler, are you sure you've been attacked by the undead? ”
The Morey Forest is infested with orcs from time to time, and it is not surprising to be attacked by orcs. But if the traveler in front of him is not lying, if he is not lying, it is true...... I still think that the guy in front of me who looks like "fine skin and tender meat" is not very credible. For many years, there has been no news of the undead in the Morey Forest!
Elf: "Of course, I vouch for my reputation as a paladin! ”
Lily spoke up too. I didn't expect her to be able to speak elf, which was a little surprising.
Elf: "Who are you?" ”
Lily took off her iron gloves and pulled a badge from her waist. The coat of arms drawn on the coat of arms is long red hair that burns like a flame.
Elf: "I'm Lily Olosika von Bridges. Paladin of the Fire-Haired Lady. ”
Elvish "...... I know your name, Ms. Bridges. You have saved the lives of our people in the north, and I would like to express my gratitude and apologies to you. ”
Elven Language: "The Fire-Haired Lady teaches us to appreciate beauty, to show beauty, and to fight to defend the beauty of the world. ”
- It turns out that Lily's reputation with the elves is "respect", which is much easier!
When it comes to stubbornness, the first thing that comes to mind is dwarves. In fact, the elves are also quite stubborn, but the elves' stubbornness is manifested as "arrogance", because they look down on it and do not cut it to communication. Dealing with them is also not an easy task. However, elves are all "face control", as long as the appearance is high enough, it is not difficult to brush the goodwill of the elves. In this regard, the Temple of Eros should have an advantage, compared to handsome guys and beauties or something, and there are more temples of Eros.
Fang Qiuling quietly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Elf: "Lady Bridges, we are also willing to do our part to protect the beauty of the world. But...... The evil has receded for the time being, so please restrain the behavior of the others and exit the woodland first. ”
The forest is a home for the elves. Not a single flower, grass, tree or tree can be broken lightly. Invited guests need to be mindful of their behavior, not to mention uninvited strangers. If you can get it out early, get rid of it early.
However, this view of the elves is not very shared by the human side. Relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water, living next to the forest, and not allowing a firewood or hunting, this is too much to say.
Lily was slightly stunned, but immediately bowed her head in thanks.
[Elf Language]: "Thank you very much for your help in times of crisis. We'll leave right away. ”
- I thought that the prestige already had "respect", but I didn't expect it to be "friendly".
Fang Qiuling and Lily glanced at each other, and at the same time they had a tacit understanding and dragged Old Tom away.
Old Tom was confused, he had never learned a foreign language, and he couldn't understand a word. However, Fang Qiuling and Lily asked him not to speak, how to leave, this is still understandable.
- It's polite not to bundle it into zongzi and throw it out, and you still want to lie in the woods?
It is true that elves are peaceful by nature, but now in the concept of elves, Fang Qiuling and his gang are a little better than the robbers who broke in.
The three of them quickly walked out of the woods. Lady Mogre outside the forest also dismantled the "Clock Tower Monster" into eight pieces, and was panting slightly with her crosssword.
Seeing Fang Qiuling and the three of them walking out of the forest under the "escort" of the elves, Ms. Mogre also put away her weapons and walked over: "...... Is that the helper you found? ”
"No......" Lily shook her head, "she was kicked out." Elves do not allow humans to enter the woodland. ”
Ms. Moghray's footsteps were noticeably stunned.
Fang Qiuling said, "Gargoyles and other things look evil, and they are attacking the woodland, so they will directly kill them. ”
The elves who "escorted" them out of the woodland didn't say so, but that didn't prevent Fang Qiuling from guessing their intentions. As long as the elves are regarded as Yan Kong's dead tsundere, then it is not difficult to explain the logic of their behavior.
"Human, watch your words. I don't just look at my appearance. Fang Qiuling's words were obviously subjective, causing the elves to be dissatisfied, "I can recognize it, this is a gargoyle, a servant of a wizard." I have lived in Seragher for a while, and I have seen the wizards of Serag make gargoyles out of demonized granite. ”
The elf paused slightly, then continued, "Neither wizards nor gargoyles should be here. Not to mention the destruction of the woodland! ”
Fang Qiuling stopped talking.
The elves are also staunch environmentalists, leaving no stone unturned when it comes to protecting the woodlands where they live!
