Dust of History Chapter 21: I am willing to do it for you
The only difference between Asa and the dead body now is that he has breathed more. He had been unconscious in bed for several days. Xiaoyi has been guarding by the bed, and she has been taking care of him these few days.
Some of the thieves also asked where the couple among them went, and the orc boss said that the city lord here asked them to stay and discuss some important matters. They used their imaginations to guess, thinking that they must be dealing with the city lord alone for some benefit, sighed that they were indeed knowledgeable people, and then they all left with their goods.
Asa has moved from the roofless house to another room. This matter was not publicized, after all, the city lord also had to uphold the dignity of the law, no matter what the reason for the theft should be sent to the huge gallows in the square. The Lord of Sedros only said that this man was a friend of his who was injured in his magic experiment.
Healing spells can finally work on **. There is no system of magic that Sedros can't use. Although he can't study many magic spells because he has learned too much, as long as he can use it, there is no one he can't master. His healing spells In no way inferior to any high-level priest.
But no matter how high the level of treatment is, all it can heal is 'injury'.
The bones and muscles of his hands and chest have been broken into a mess. Even the most skilled craftsmen can't separate those pieces smaller than rice grains from the congealed muscles and blood vessels and put them back together again. Many of the ribs that fell off had already injured internal organs, and the skull was completely cracked, and it was only about to explode.
Even Sedros can hardly believe that a person's body can survive such an injury.
This is indeed a misunderstanding with serious consequences, and it is also a very coincidental misunderstanding.
If Xiaoyi also came to carry the stolen goods with the thieves at that time, then he would definitely see the Lord of Sedros. If Asa was not so stubborn to use his own way to solve this matter, if he could put Discuss this matter with Xiaoyi. If his fighting spirit is not so strong, he can explain a little bit when he is caught or simply surrender... As long as one of them happens, things will not be like this.
City Lord Cedros came to see Asa's situation again today, still shaking his head with a gloomy face. Through the conversation with Xiaoyi, he knew that this was indeed a misunderstanding. Although it is still impossible to explain why this young man is wearing the robe of the ghost king and why he came to steal the book, but the person who is willing to use a leaf of the world tree that all magicians dream of to save people is indeed not dead. Members of the Guild of Spirits. And the appointment document of the bishop is not forged.
Sedros could also see what kind of relationship the two had, which also made him very concerned. He tentatively asked Xiaoyi: "What if he can't wake up? It seems that your engagement is not far away. Right?"
"I'll stay here until he wakes up. I won't go anywhere." Xiaoyi replied flatly.
Sedros was silent. Xiaoyi's tone is not the kind of sonorous and resolute and passionate, if it is like that, it's okay, passion is always short-lived, and it will naturally calm down after a period of impulsiveness. But such plain determination shows that she has accepted the reality.
If it was someone else, the city lord would appreciate this kind of love between men and women, but she is the daughter of the Duke, and she has many other things on her back.
Sedros said in a meaningful tone: "Do you know, it's actually very unfair to you to say this. If you really can't wake up for the rest of your life, don't you plan to spend your good life on him Body? You are still young, and you still have a lot of bright future."
Xiao Yi shook her head. "I was in a coma like this before, and he saved me. Now I can't save him, at least I have to stay with him."
"But he doesn't know anything about what you're doing now. You're just deceiving yourself."
Xiao Yi just said lightly: "This is my own decision."
Cedros said slowly: "Then have you considered your father? You should know how much hope your father has in you. Are you just abandoning other things for your own wishful thinking? "
Xiaoyi did not speak, but slowly fed a spoonful of honey water into Asa's mouth. There was no expression on her face.
Sedros looked at her and sighed, turned and walked out.
He suddenly felt that he was a very annoying person.
But hate is hate, words must be said, because things must be done. If she really wanted to stay, the most troublesome one would probably not be the Duke, but herself.
Suddenly an official ran over from the direction of the city hall and said to him: "My lord, the thieves who set off a few days ago have returned, and there are only a few left. They said that there is a huge fire-breathing monster in the wasteland." The monster is coming here."
"Monster?" Sedros frowned.
At the gate of the city hall, Sedros removed an arm from the ponytail.
This is evidence of a dying thief who was in a hurry and didn't have time to mount his horse. The thieves were awakened by strange noises on the ground at night. They saw a huge monster walking towards them through the moonlight. In panic, they got on their horses and started to run away. The thieves who hesitated and moved slowly were all involved in the flames emitted by the monster, and only a few escaped back by chance.
Sedros studied the arm carefully. The arm is in good condition, and the cross-section is very neat, as if it was chopped off by a knife or an ax. It's just that the cross-section of the bone above is black, and when pinched by hand, it immediately falls apart like dry bread. There is no natural flame that can cause such damage to the human body, can burn the whole person to ashes, but leave the arm that was just exposed to the flame intact.
Such corrosive flames should be the effect of dark magic. And what can actually spit out magical flames? Although he probably knew that the Necromancer Guild was playing tricks, but he couldn't tell what kind of method it was using.
Cedros has been traveling and exploring the mainland since he was a teenager. He has seen the strangest things. He even saw the legendary dragon in the underground world. Pass. And he also likes reading books very much. He has been to almost every famous library on the mainland, and he can never forget all kinds of books, so he can be regarded as the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable person on the mainland. people. If there is something that even he doesn't know, it can only mean that this thing has never appeared.
"When did you meet that monster?" Sedros asked the few remaining thieves.
"Three nights ago." The old thief Fodoleng replied. He was the quickest of them all, running towards the horses almost at the sound, while some of them took up arms and looked out. It seems that the longer people live, the more they want to continue to live.
From the words of the thieves, it can be judged that the speed of the monster does not seem to be fast, but it should not be far from here.
Sedros and Gru rode their horses to the swamp in the northeast of Ofu City. This is one end of the Lizard Swamp extending into the wasteland, and it happened to be used as an independent living area for the Lizardmen. Here the two set off on a wyvern.
Not only wyverns, but also bulls and carrion lizards are quietly domesticated here. The lizardmen generally don't participate in other affairs in the city of Oufu. Their mission is to experiment with domesticating these animals in this swamp.
There has never been a record of domestication of this kind of thing in the continent in history, and no one has even dared to have such an idea. These are extremely dangerous animals that live in extremely dangerous places.
The bull is a type of bison endemic to Lizard Swamp. At first glance, it looks like a cow, but it is two meters high, four to five meters long, and weighs several thousand catties. It is not covered with fur, but a thick layer of scales, which even a battle ax can hardly touch. It deals effective damage. Although it is a herbivore, its temper is more fierce and violent than any carnivore. Combined with its huge strength and size, it is definitely one of the most dangerous beasts in the continent. And because they often eat the poisonous weeds in the swamp, the stomachs of these animals have accumulated the fermented gas of countless poisonous weeds, which can be spit out from their mouths at any time. This gas is as harmful to human skin as something called 'sulphuric acid' created by an alchemist.
Only Wyverns can include bulls in their recipes. These huge flying animals possess unimaginable strength and speed, enough to catch a bull high in the air and drop it. Repeat this step until the bull is beaten to death before eating.
Although it is an extremely dangerous animal, it is also extremely useful. Just imagine the situation of bulls charging into battle, and no general is willing to send his soldiers to face such a monster. The wyvern has a huge effect no matter it is used as a manned surprise attack or to transport materials, and it is even easier to capture and kill a general among thousands of troops.
As long as they have these huge and dangerous combat power, no army dare to act rashly here.
Only the lord of Sedros has the courage and imagination to domesticate these things. He clearly knows all the habits of these strange creatures from books, and then summarizes the methods of domesticating these beasts from the history of human domestication of other animals. Only he can let the lizard people obtain the eggs and young of these animals from the swamp, and then domesticate them in the strange environment of the swamp. Over the years, only a few have been successfully domesticated, but these few are also very useful.
With the amazing strength of the Wyvern, it is completely easy to carry Sedros and Gru, plus a lizardman driver, and its flying speed is beyond the reach of horses. So it took only half a day for Sedros to see the monster that the thieves were talking about from the air.
"What's that? A big bat? There seems to be someone on it?" Sandro said with a frown. The three of them were far away in the woods, and Sedros could not see them.
"That's a domesticated wyvern. It's really an interesting trick to think that someone can use this as a flying tool." Vidnina also seemed a little surprised, but it didn't affect her complacent mood. "It seems that the leader of the orc city-state received the news to see our great masterpiece with his own eyes. I don't know how he feels after seeing this masterpiece that will turn his city-state into ashes."
With just one glance, Sedros can be sure that this is a monster that can turn the entire city of Ofal into ashes. He could feel that the magical fluctuations surrounding it were unimaginable.
"Fly down and take a closer look," Sedros said to the lizardman driver. The lizardman pulled the reins, and the wyvern swooped down towards the corpse dragon with a howl.
Passing close to the corpse dragon, Sedros saw clearly the countless corpses that made up the monster's body, and felt the magical energy contained in these corpses. Such a monster was indeed created by the Necromancer Guild, but such a huge and perfect magical creature was completely beyond his imagination. It is not only powerful, but also a perfect blend of several completely different magical powers. His profound knowledge and deep understanding of magic made him completely able to distinguish these magics, so he was even more shocked.
Those corpses are not ordinary corpses, nor zombies, but living corpses. A corpse change that only a practitioner who has reached the pinnacle of limb magic and dark magic can create. That is to completely burn all the vitality left in the human body in a very short period of time. An ordinary person's corpse can have an amazing combat power comparable to that of a high-level fighter in a short period of time. But there are hundreds of such corpses here, which was originally enough to be the combat power of an army, but now they are only used as the body of this monster.
He can also see the shape of this monster. It is the shape that the magic spell "Dragon of Darkness" in the legend of the dark system should transform into. It was originally just an image of mana condensed, and it would dissipate automatically after the spell was released, but now it merged with the hundreds of living corpses. It's not just the appearance, there is indeed a rush of dark magic power flowing among the countless corpses.
What shocked him the most was the monster itself. In a sense, this is actually a living creature. What rotted were the hands and feet of corpses protruding solitary on the surface of the corpse dragon, but the parts that were closely connected to form the corpse dragon still maintained their original appearance, and even the skin of those corpses still retained the unique characteristics of living bodies. of gloss. Living corpses can only last for a short time, but this is obviously not a newly created monster. This is to use a certain method to fuse the highly activated corpse as a medium when the vitality in the living corpse is extremely burning, and combine it with the magic of the 'Dark Dragon' to form a whole, temporarily forming a cycle of magic power, and then endowing it The whole corpse maintains its strength with life. The astonishing magic power and life force in this monster's body fused together to form an endless cycle, allowing it to spit out that destructive flame almost like a living creature's breath without limit.
Every magic is so perfect, and the balance between the various magic powers is just right, and in the balance, the specialties of each nature magic are brought into full play. He marveled, this is simply an incomparable magical work of art.
But he suddenly woke up again, and shouted to the lizardman: "It's too close, fly up."
The corpse dragon's head has turned. After being indiscriminately bombarded by hundreds of magicians a few days ago, it has become very sensitive to human breath. It stretched its neck to inhale, and even the lizardman driver who was completely ignorant of magic could feel the strange fluctuations in the air caused by the crazy concentration of mana.
As soon as Sedros chanted the mantra and waved his hands forward, a white ball of light flew towards the head of the corpse dragon. This is the most powerful spell 'Thunder Bomb' in air magic.
After a loud noise, the corpse dragon's head and neck shook slightly, and the strong explosion left a small crater on its head. But such damage obviously didn't affect it, it opened its mouth, and the green flame was about to spit out immediately.
Gru bent over, jumped up, and punched out after a loud roar. The force of his kicks caused the huge body of the Wyvern to sink downward. The white light wrapped around his body made him look like a silent bolt of lightning, rushing straight to the corpse dragon's head with unprecedented power.
The front end of the bolt strikes the corpse dragon on the head. The moment the fist made contact with the corpse, a dazzling light and a loud noise erupted. It was just a blow, but it completely surpassed the brilliant roar of those hundreds of spells. The corpse dragon's head and neck were thrown sideways under the force of this blow, and even its huge body was also driven to the side by the impact. If it wasn't hit on the head and the neck was not used as a buffer, this punch could completely knock down this mountain-like monster.
This piece of sky seemed to be raining corpse fragments suddenly. The corpse dragon's head was almost completely broken off, leaving only half of its mouth hanging on its neck.
In the distance, the three magicians who witnessed all this with their own eyes were completely shocked by the earth-shattering power of this blow.
They are all consummate magicians, and they can all see that it is not magic.
That does not require skills and wisdom, without transformation, resonance synchronization, etc., the profound art of spellcasting, it is completely the most direct and hearty naked original display of vitality.
No matter who sees this kind of power, this kind of scene, this kind of spirit, there will only be one word that comes to mind. strength.
The three of them were also obsessed with the desire to make themselves stronger, so they were able to become top magicians. But now they are completely shocked when they see the real power, just like writers and painters who have refined their skills and art to express beauty, they are shocked when they see the beautiful scenery of nature.
But this spectacular scene only paused for a moment, and the green flames still rushed out from the half of the dragon's mouth that was tilted to the side. It is not a real creature, and the damage of a small part of its shape does not hinder the flow of magic power.
The corpse dragon's head and neck immediately swung back again, and the crazy green fire sprinkled towards Gru, who was still in midair.
Gru's posture is still the same as that of punching. This punch was already his full strength, his body hadn't recovered from the explosive force, and his body was completely out of thin air, with no place to focus on it. Facing the surging green waves, his solitary body was as insignificant as a leaf in mid-air, as if he would be submerged in this sea of death without leaving even a single ripple.
But his body suddenly moved backwards out of thin air, as if a giant hand was pulling him, he just avoided the wave of green fire. This is the effect of Sedros' wind spell.
The wings of the Wyvern fluttered, and it rose sharply upwards, but the blowing wind also brought a few green fires to the wings of the Wyvern. Even though it was just a few small green fires, it was enough to make the wyvern struggle in pain, and that was equally fatal.
Sedros continued to control the wind magic with one hand and pulled Gru towards here, and waved a few white cold lights with the other hand to intercept the green fires respectively. The green fire and the cold light collided, and after making a soft sound, they vanished into thin air.
Gru stood on the Wyvern's back again. The Wyvern soared into the air, flying over the range of the corpse dragon's flames.
The corpse dragon seemed to be irritated by this attack, and its movements became swift and violent. It jumped towards the sky, shaking its body, but the jump was not high, and it was immediately pulled back to the ground by its own weight. The landing sound.
From high in the sky, you can see that the body of the corpse dragon has begun to change. The corpses that formed the body began to squirm, and then gradually the broken heads were replenished by corpses wriggling from other places.
"Good guy." Gru's eyes glowed. The full blow just now did not knock down the monster and excited him. "Fly down and let me try again."
Sedros quickly stopped him and said: "It's too dangerous, the flame of magic is irresistible. We have to find another way."
The corpse dragon groaned towards the sky, feeling that he was powerless. So he took a slow step again and continued to walk northwest.
Sedros frowned and said slowly: "There should be a core. To maintain such a large magic power cycle, there must be a strong core. From the perspective of magic fluctuations, it should be a little below the right side of the chest. The position is about three or four meters inside the body. But the key is how to destroy it... and what is it? What is it that can make such a huge magic power condense and circulate in the form of life? Non-stop..." Sedros frowned and said to himself, suddenly realized. "I see." Said to the lizardman driver: "Okay, let's go back now."
The Wyvern circled in the air and turned back towards the direction it came from, before turning into a small dot and disappearing on the horizon.
Sandro was the first to heave a long sigh of relief. He was still in the shock of the blow and asked, "Who is that? Is it really a person?"
Ronis was also shocked by the blow, but he turned his head to look at his student who was also shocked and said in a mocking tone: "If things are really as you expected, then What are you surprised about?"
"No matter what. I believe that my work is invincible. I believe that it will definitely wipe out all the garbage." Vidnina's hoarse voice spoke forcefully, as if It was to show that even seeing such a shocking blow did not shake his confidence in the slightest.
Confidence, though it is strength, is purely personal, inner strength. If you still need to announce it loudly, you will be suspected of embolden yourself.
Of course Ronis could hear the suspicion. He nodded and smiled and said, "I'm right that I didn't go back. It seems that things are getting more and more interesting." The man who can use the magic of two systems at the same time and still control it so well reminds him of an old friend from the past.
"It's interesting~IndoMTL.com~It's interesting." Sandro agreed with a shake of his head.
Oufu City, nightfall.
Xiaoyi just finished feeding Asa honey water. Her hand caressed Asa's face, the soft palm undulating along the clear outline. Her heart was troubled now, and what Sedros had said to her today had disturbed her firm resolve.
Is it really just self-deception? Is he just here to escape from reality and evade his responsibility to his father? But to leave him here and go back alone? This is absolutely impossible. She felt the pain of being torn apart from her own feelings.
The Lord of Cedros walked into the house, sighed at her actions, and then slowly said: "If I can cure this young man, but you must promise me to complete one thing you should have done What you have done, do you promise?"
"I agree." Xiaoyi stood up, her face showing the expression of hearing the divine parable of God's salvation.
Sedros put his hand on Xiaoyi's head and patted it, nodded and said, "I know you have always been a good boy, and you have always been obedient."
