Dust of History Chapter 22: Click on page


Tula Leon is a forest in the southwest of the mainland. Because of the inaccessibility of the people and the clean spirit, elves have settled here since more than a hundred years ago, and gradually more and more elves have become the elves on the mainland. most populated places.

For the elves, the Whispering Forest, the birthplace of the race far in the east, is a sanctuary that does not eat human fireworks, and this is their own kingdom. Although they have always maintained the unique arrogance and aloofness of their culture, it is probably because of the smoke and fire of the world after all, that many places have become enlightened. The elves here also interact with humans, gradually changing and replacing many of the original routine rituals and prayers with a more practical way of life.

A human guest arrived today with a teleportation scroll. This is a rare occurrence, as elves are very selective in their interactions with humans based on their personality and culture. And those who can get the scroll of Tula Leon's teleportation magic circle must be only people who are highly valued by the elves, and such people are usually very few.

But even if there are few, Sedros must be one of them. Whether it's the human kingdom or here or the dungeon of the dwarves, he is always the most welcome guest. His profound magic skills are admired by any magic user. His extensive knowledge and wise and innovative insights make all rulers willing to ask him for advice. His kind personality, broad communication and appropriate means of communication also make him He makes friends easily. When he traveled around the continent before, he had contacts with the elf elders here.

The huge corpse dragon has been walking towards Oufu City at a slow speed, and it will arrive in about three or four days. He has already thought of a way how to deal with this almost invincible behemoth, but there must be some magic items that only the Tulaleone elves have.

As soon as he arrived, he heard that the elders were having a meeting with the special envoy sent by the Forest of Whispers.

The Forest of Whispers has never asked about any external affairs and rarely contacted the elves outside. This time, it sent a special envoy. It should be that something very important happened. This worried him a little. He has never been to the Forest of Whispers, but he also knows from the mouth of the elves that there is always contempt for humans. If this special envoy also imposed this kind of atmosphere on the elders, then he might have to return empty-handed this time.

Unexpectedly, after reporting the news of his arrival, the elves actually invited him to the conference hall.

Stepping into the conference hall, Sedros first greeted those elf elder friends.

"You came at the right time. We were planning to find a way to inform you." An elder elf greeted Sedros to sit down, pointed to a silver-haired female elf in the seat and said to Sedros: "This is the one who came from The special envoy sent by the Whispering Forest, Lord Luya." Then he pointed to Sedros and introduced: "This is the Mr. Sedros we just talked about, a great magician and scholar, and many human countries and countries. Religion has a very good relationship."

"Hello." Sedros nodded to the envoy with a smile. The appearance of this special envoy is also very beautiful among the elves who are originally pure and elegant, and it does not quite match the stagnant and rigid imagination that comes from the forest of whispers, but it shows a little naive and naive. She didn't answer, but looked at Sedros frowning and showing some disgust. It can be seen that she really has a prejudiced or bad impression of humans.

"It's like this. We are notifying all the countries and groups that we have dealings with to help us arrest a person. We hope you can also assist us." Elder Elf handed a portrait of Sedros. "This is drawn by our special envoy himself."

The portrait is of a human male youth. The elf's hands have always been very dexterous, and his movements are very delicate, and it can be seen that the special envoy must have a very deep impression on this person, so although he has not learned painting skills, the appearance of this person is still vivid on the paper.

Sedros looked at the portrait, frowned, and asked, "What did this man do?"

Even old elves do not have the experience of capturing subtle expressions and analyzing them, which is the stunt of sophisticated human beings who are skilled in intrigue in complex environments. So none of the elves had any misgivings about his expression.

"This human has stolen several important things from us from the Forest of Whispers, and we must take them back. So please, Mr. Sedros, you must help, we know that your popularity and relationship in human society is Very broad, I hope you can at least figure out who this person is and where he is now."

"Don't worry. I'm sure there will be good news soon." Sedros's eyes flickered a few times, and he immediately answered him with a smile. "But in fact, I'm going to the Three Treasures Hall this time, I hope you can give me a few small things."

These little requests of his were naturally agreed immediately.

It was already nightfall when we returned to Oufu. Sedros immediately sent the items he had brought to the blacksmith workshop in the city. The blacksmiths here were secretly hired from the Calundo Basin with high salaries. They were highly skilled and could make weapons according to his requirements.

It was already late at night when he came out of the workshop, and Sedros dragged his exhausted body back. At least so far, everything seems to be going well, but even so, he is only about 80% sure about the plan to defeat this monster.

Eighty percent. This is enough for many things, but this one has to be absolutely sure. Once he fails, there is no way out. The whole of Oufu, the city that he has built with more than ten years of painstaking planning and embodying many of his ideals, will be reduced to ashes.

And there is another problem that gives him a headache. How can we ensure that the 'core' is intact in the attack. If you just smash it, the problem is much simpler.

Although Xiaoyi had promised to heal the young man, it was because she wanted to go back with peace of mind. Even if the 'core' is taken out intact, it is a legendary treasure after all, is it really used to save people? Or to the elves? What about Xiaoyi?

"I think you must be having a headache right now." Sedros lowered his head in thought and heard such a sentence as soon as he entered the room. He looked up and immediately saw a person who didn't expect to appear here. "I'm going to ask the officials in the city. They said that you are busy, so I have to wait for you here." This person was dressed in ordinary clothes and seemed to be sitting there in a casual posture, but the card was from the hands of the orc apprentice. The rough and shoddy chair seemed to be infected by his temperament, and it looked dignified as if it was expensive furniture made by a master craftsman.

Sedros smiled, and he said: "I remember that you used to have a specialty that was helping people treat headaches. Since you are here at this time, you must not let me down. My headache can be There are many."

The man also laughed, and said: "I hope one night is enough. Actually, I also have a headache, so I came to you and planned to cure it together. I used the flying technique to hide it from others. You must go back before dawn."

Three days later. More than ten miles south of Oufu City.

Sedros, Gelu, and Xiaoyi watched the huge corpse dragon slowly appear on the horizon. There are more than a dozen lizardmen pushing more than a dozen huge ballistas beside them.

This kind of ballista is as long as two people and as wide as one person, and the crossbow arrows are as long as one person. The huge force is enough to shoot through any shield within 500 meters. And combined with the lizardman's eyesight that can adjust the focus, this is an even more terrifying weapon. These crossbow bolts that are now placed on top are all specially made, and the arrow is equipped with a slender, spiral-shaped sharp horn, which is the unicorn's unicorn horn, which Cedros asked for from the forest of Tula Leone.

"It's really a magical work of art, I really can't bear to destroy it." Sedros shook his head with some sighs.

Gelu said lightly: "But I am very interested in dealing with it." He looked at the clothes on Xiaoyi's body next to him. "If possible, I really hope to be able to face it head-on."

Only those who have practiced dark meditation can fully utilize the protective power of that robe. Otherwise, the skin exposed outside the robe would also not be able to withstand the burning of magic. Gru originally strongly demanded to put on this suit to fight the monster face to face, but he gave up this dangerous idea after strong persuasion by Sedros.

After the huge monster spews flames, its magic power will fluctuate due to re-condensation and changes, and the body's protection will be reduced to the minimum at this time. He knew that Xiaoyi's skills were very good, and only her petite figure could cover her head and face with a robe, so he had to let her act as the bait.

There is another important reason. Sedros wanted her to do it herself. Let her get the leaf of the world tree with her own hands to heal the person who also used the leaf of the world tree to save her, so that she can go back to do what she should do without regret.

Cedros held a spear in his hand, which was forged by the blacksmiths of Oufu in the past three days. Professional styling ensures that the thrower's strength and accuracy can be maximized. The point of the spear was also the horn of a unicorn, and on the tip of the horn was a tiny cross.

The necklace of the cross is actually made of crystal with extraordinary craftsmanship, and the cross is a rare piece of magic jade. It is a kind of ore that contains huge magic power, which can only be produced in the Sandfes Mountains where giant beasts and thunderbirds haunt. After being tempered by magic, it can add unique magic attributes, which is invaluable. If it is for magic From a teacher's point of view, it is almost priceless.

There will never be many magicians who own this kind of thing, and there will not be more than five people in the whole continent who are willing to carve it into an amulet instead of making it into a staff.

The corpse dragon approached slowly, and suddenly picked up its pace. It didn't have eyes, but felt that the auras that hurt it a few days ago were far away, so it instinctively sped up its movements. It wanted to rush forward and melt all these things that made him feel uncomfortable in its own flames.

"Okay, let's get started," Sedros said. Xiaoyi nodded and looked at the huge monster. That mountain-like body was covered with corpses, and with every step, there was a loud rumble, and those corpses seemed to be shaking alive, rushing towards this side with the smell of corpses rushing towards the face, This doesn't seem like something human can contend with.

"Knocking down this monster will surely save him, right?" Xiaoyi asked.

"Yes. Definitely." Sedros nodded.

She seemed to be trying to increase her courage in order to get such an affirmative answer. He shouted vigorously: "Okay. I'm going." He rode his horse and rushed towards the corpse dragon.

Sedros pinched the tip and body of the spear with both hands and began to chant the incantation. A black mist spread from the spear, and the unicorn's horn shone blindingly white.

This is the "Power of Darkness" of the dark magic and the "Holy Blade of Purity" of the white magic. They are not very advanced spells, and can be used by intermediate magicians. But if you want to attach these two spells to a weapon at the same time without conflict, then only Cedros on the entire continent can do it.

The horn of the unicorn has the property of exorcising darkness and undead spells, but it is also a very rare magic item. Only elves who are closely related to unicorns have it. The 'Holy Blade of Purity' attached to it is specially designed to deal with undead monsters, and it can break through the solid body of a living corpse. What is more critical is to ensure that the small necklace hanging on the spearhead is sent into the body made of corpses.

'Power of Darkness' allows the weapon to convert magic power into explosive impact power immediately after it touches the opponent's body. Although it is only a one-off burst, it can greatly increase the lethality of the weapon. The attack power of such a weapon is no less than the legendary magical weapon specially designed to deal with undead monsters in the short time when these magics take effect. What's more, the cross carried by the spearhead contains a huge amount of white magic energy.

Cedros is now confident in the plan. But his greatest confidence is not in the weapon that he has gathered with so much energy and magic, nor is it that he has the great assistance of an old friend, but in the person who will throw the weapon. He handed Gru the spear in his hand.

He can already be regarded as the most knowledgeable and knowledgeable person on this continent. But if he didn't know what to say, it was this friend who had known him for a long time. He still doesn't know what kind of power is contained in his body until now. But I only know one thing, that is the power that will never disappoint.

Xiao Yi was approaching alone, and she was as insignificant as a bug against the huge body of the corpse dragon. Green flames were gushing out from the dragon's mouth, covering everything in a radius of hundreds of meters in an instant.

"Okay, shoot the arrow." Sedros ordered. The lizard people pulled the mechanism, and more than a dozen crossbow arrows, one person long, were shot out, and shot at the corpse dragon's chest according to the pre-planned plan. The unicorn's horn pierced the corpse dragon's surface and nailed it to its chest. These more than ten crossbow arrows formed a circle, enclosing the position of the leaf of the world tree.

Gru charges forward with his spear. With just one step, the dust and stones on the surrounding ground flew sideways.

When he took the second step, even Sedros next to him had the illusion that the whole ground was sinking with this step.

In the third step, all the white light on his body was concentrated on his hands, and his body tilted into a huge arc. With the sudden straightening of this arc, the spear flew out of his hand.

Those who have heard the lightning and thunder will never be overwhelmed by the explosion of the cannonball, and those who have seen this spear thrown with their own eyes will never feel the power of thunder and lightning again. Even the majesty of heaven and earth will lose its color at this moment.

The splendor, ferocity and wildness in this one-hundredth of a blink of an eye is enough for everyone who has seen it with their own eyes to recall it for a century.

With black and white intersecting rays of light, the spear roared and galloped past with an invincible power that seemed to be able to pierce the entire world. The surrounding air was suddenly evacuated, and the roar could tear people's skin. The soil and stones on the ground where the spear flew were lifted up, leaving a straight ditch like an artificial river.

There is only a roar. Under such power, the corpse dragon's originally incomparably tough body seems to be as loose as bread soaked in water. It didn't even make a sound of impact. In the circle surrounded by the horns of the unicorn, the corpse dragon's chest to the back runs through a huge circular tunnel for people to walk in. The corpses falling from the sky disappeared without a trace when they fell into the green flames.

The spear itself did not penetrate deep into the corpse dragon's body. In the huge impact, all the horns of the unicorns and the cross of the magic jade were shattered together, and the huge white magic was released, which was erupted by the violent impact contained in the spear itself, and the body of the corpse dragon within the range was torn to pieces.

A green leaf fell from the huge hole in the corpse dragon's body. The white magic in the huge impact did not damage this leaf that contained vitality.

As the leaf fell, the corpse dragon's body began to disintegrate. Like a huge building block whose backbone was suddenly taken away, hundreds of thousands of corpses collapsed completely at once. The monster that was powerful enough to despise all creatures in this world just now turned into a pile of stinking pieces of meat in the blink of an eye.

Without the support of vitality, these corpses began to turn into piles of mud and black water immediately after falling, and the rot that had been suppressed for a long time burst out in one breath.

The horse I was riding on has completely disappeared in the green fire. When the green fire came, Xiaoyi immediately retracted her hands and feet into her robe, hugged her head and curled up into a ball. After hearing the roar, she felt that the flames around her had dissipated, so she stretched out her head, hands and feet from the wide robe.

But she almost fainted immediately. The stench from this mountainous corpse decaying at the same time not only caused great damage to the nose, tears also rolled out under the attack of this smell, as if even the ears could hear the tissue festering and disintegrating on the corpse and the huge smell being produced. The sound of raging in the air.

'Preventing diseases','curing poison','healing injuries'... She immediately used several white magics on her body, then pulled up her robe to cover her nose, and slowly closed her eyes Open a slit. Her magic was learned from Sedros, and almost every system can point it, but it is not deep.

Among the countless rotting corpses in front of you, you can see a small pile of corpses that still maintain their original appearance. Xiaoyi walked through the rotten flesh, corpses and skeletons with one foot deep and one shallow foot, and bravely turned over the corpse, and the green leaf was pressed in the middle of the corpse. Even among these countless corpses, the flourishing business of the leaves is not affected in the slightest, and it is still so bright and eye-catching. Xiaoyi took the leaves in her hands, and the surrounding corpses immediately began to fester **.

A white ball of light suddenly flew towards here from a distant hill, as fast as a crossbow arrow without any wind noise. Just as he was about to hit Xiaoyi, another flash of lightning arrived first, hitting the small ball of light with a soft 'pop'. The ball of light itself was not affected, but was slightly changed by the blow from its original flight path, and hit a few steps away from Xiaoyi.

With a bang, the explosion blasted her into the air and landed heavily on the ground. Xiaoyi stood up, if it wasn't for the robe on her body, the shock would have seriously injured her. She looked around, and immediately found several light **** flying towards here and here in the distance. Before she even had time to think about what was going on, she hurriedly ran towards the way she came.

Similarly, a few tiny bolts of lightning hit these **** of light halfway, just changing the trajectory of the **** of light, so that the deadly magic power just poured onto the surrounding ground.

Among the dense explosions, soil, rotting flesh, corpse water, and bones flew all over the sky, like a rain of fireworks from death. Xiaoyi ran towards the way she came amidst the dense explosions, and the loud noises and air waves around her seemed to be able to submerge her at any time.

Looking at the place where the ball of light flew out, Gru snorted coldly, and stretched out his hand to Sedros.

Cedros spread his hands, and an icicle as thick as a person's long wine glass immediately formed in his hand. This is the water magic 'Thunderbolt Ice' used by intermediate magicians. Originally, it just launched the water magic power onto the target to produce ice thorns in the target body to cause damage, but Cedros condensed the magic power in his hands and did not release it. Going out, the moisture in the surrounding air condenses into ice.

Gru took the icicle from Sedros, took two steps forward and bent down to throw it. The ice spear desperately tore through the air in front of it, screaming and flew straight to the distant mountain top.

On the top of the mountain, the furious Lich kept waving his hands. The most advanced air attack magic 'Thunder Bomb' was fired crazily in her hands like the cheapest fireball. The perfect and invincible artwork in her mind was completely defeated like a toy in the blink of an eye, which made Vidnina extremely frightened and furious.

But no matter how intensive her magic is, Ronis next to her always flicks her fingers, and a series of tiny lightning strikes on each thunderball immediately and first. The power of this lightning spell is not great, it may not even be able to knock down an ordinary soldier, but the speed and accuracy are very well controlled.

The remaining upper part of Vidnina's face was completely distorted. She gave Ronis a hard look, and her body rose upwards. She absolutely cannot let the leaves of the world tree be taken away. She wants to use flying to kill all the people there and get back the leaves of the world tree.

But a loud noise completely interrupted her movements and emotions.

The clang is powerful, and the cracking sound after the violent collision of real objects is not something that can be made by magic explosions. An icicle was stuck only a few steps away from her, and gravel flew across. It's just that the fragile ice carved a big hole in the solid granite with incomparable strength, and the cracks extended in all directions. The icicle stands there like a monument symbolizing destruction and strength, shining coldly against the sun.

Sandro stared blankly at the ice spear, then turned his head to Roniss and said, "If the students of your Magic Academy see this too, I guarantee that at least half of them will immediately abandon magic and learn martial arts. "

The lich's body is just a shell, but at least Vidnina has the feeling that she is sweating in her heart. If this hit hit her body, she would fall apart like a pile of rubbish.

Before she even had time to see clearly, the ice spear had already thrust into her side with the might of splitting mountains and rocks. And she knew that even if she saw clearly, there was nothing she could do. This was not something her body could dodge, and there was absolutely no magic that could protect against such a direct attack.

She now feels like something is shattering in her body. She discovered that this body of hers, the highest crystallization of human wisdom and the highest magical power on the entire continent, was so fragile that it only took a moment to become a pile of tatters.

She has always been proud of what she bought with the beauty that once turned all living beings upside down. She is proud that she has surpassed any living beings, and that she can age without yielding to the power of time. This makes her really feel I am beyond everything in this world. Especially after creating the huge and invincible corpse dragon, she felt that she had become a god, and could already be compared with the creator. But in this short period of time, she has not yet woken up from the shock of the failure of her work, and immediately discovered that she can actually die like other people in an instant, and completely disappear from this world.

The spear missed her, but it shattered all her confidence and faith. She knew that if she really dared to fly over, such an attack would definitely turn her into a pile of bone fragments before she could react.

Gru frowned. Seen from here, the three of Vidnina were just a small black spot, and the distance was too far for the spear to miss. He held out his hand to Sedros. "Give me another one."

Cedros smiled, glanced at the three people far away over there, shook his head and said, "Forget it, our business has been done. Let's go." Xiaoyi ran back by this time. The three got on their horses and led the Lizardman towards Oufu.

It took a long time before Vidnina struggled out of this mood. The pain of failure and loss turned into hostility and anger, and he yelled at Ronis: "Is it your fault? They have no reason to know the strength of the fluctuation between magic conversions and time their shots so well, except you There is no one who can infuse such a large amount of white magic on a weapon." The great anger made her completely forget her original manners, and the green flame behind the pair of fake eyes seemed to come out of her eyes directly. Go and burn Ronis on the opposite side.

Sandro also looked at him and said with a smile: "I just said that you went to the bathroom three nights ago, why did you go to the bathroom all night, and thought you..."

"Even if I don't interfere, your work will still be defeated. I'm just helping someone save the next World Tree leaf." Ronis said with a sarcasm with a smile. "Didn't you say that what we do is just a gear of history? Didn't you say that the development of things is under your control? Why should you be angry, why should you be surprised, why should you be angry?"

After hearing this, Vidnina suddenly fell silent.

From being agitated, she immediately became silent, and she didn't even breathe, so she seemed to suddenly become a decoration, a dead thing.

After a while, she returned to her original state, and bowed respectfully to Roniss: "I'm sorry, the student offended the teacher in a moment of impoliteness, and I hope the teacher won't take offense."

"Many people must be blamed for being polite." Sandro tsk-tsk. "If you didn't worry about me being here, you would probably kill him."

The Lich didn't respond to Sandro's words, but said in her ugly voice: "I've thought it through. All of this is the turning of the gears of fate, and it should happen... ..”

Ronis interrupted her words lightly: "I will not argue with you about these illusory conceptual issues. No matter how much we continue to argue, we are all just doing our own thing. It used to be, and it will always be Yes." He cast a last glance at the student. "It seems that we may not have the chance to meet in the future. I don't want to have the chance to meet again."

Vidnina was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Yes." She looked up at Ronis again, and the green light behind her eyes appeared. "But in the end, I want to give the teacher a hint. This is what I just discovered... The person wearing the ghost king's robe and taking the leaves of the World Tree just now should be a young woman. Classmate Ye went to save a woman, why did you let a woman wear his clothes to take such a risk? And why are you willing to use your amulet to protect the leaf of the world tree? The teacher should know what I mean Right. As I said, the result must have been preordained."

Roniss still said indifferently: "I said it too, and I just said it just now. You believe yours, I believe mine, and we each do our own thing."

"Yes, the stage has been opened, whether it is those prosperous and false developments, wars, politics, or other things, they will be staged, but the result is certain. In the future, we will each play our own roles and bring this history to life. Push it where it should go. Farewell, two teachers." Vidnina pulled a teleportation scroll, and a blue-white light began to glow around her body.

Roniss suddenly asked: "Let me ask one last question. I heard you have a son?" His voice, which had always been calm and vigorous, unexpectedly fluctuated a bit.

"I don't know. I forgot." It was still a hoarse, weird voice without any emotion, and Vidnina's figure completely disappeared in the blue and white magic light.

Sandro looked at the disappearing light, shook his head emotionally, and said: "This person is actually good at everything, really good." Then he shook his head and sighed as if commenting on his shortcomings. "It's just that the brain is too smart, too good at thinking about things, and thinking about too many things."

"When humans think, the gods laugh. No matter how you think about it, humans are just humans." Ronis also took out the teleportation scroll from his arms. "Let's go back too."

Sandro suddenly showed a very panicked expression and said: "Oops, now I think that I left too hastily after receiving your notice, and the rice was still burning on the fire. The pot I like very much must have been burnt, you Should it be calculated as compensation in the account of the Magic Academy?"

Ronis smiled slightly, took out a book from his pocket and gave it to him, and said, "I thought about it, I'd better return this book to you."

"Oh, thank you. But the pot still needs to be compensated." Sandro put the book in his arms, took out the teleportation scroll and pulled it away with Ronis, and the two disappeared in the magical light.

The three of Cedros quickly returned to Oufu. Xiaoyi took out the leaves of the World Tree and fed them to Asa.

Sedros watched the leaf of the world tree disappear into Asa's mouth, shook his head and sighed: "If the energy in it can be fully utilized, this thing can turn five low-level magic apprentices into legendary great mages in an instant. If it can be chopped and processed, it can be used to create ten priceless magic items. If it can be studied and tested for decades to fully analyze the composition of its power, it will definitely cause a magical explosion Revolution, even the whole world will be changed. But now it can only be used to save one person."

Asa's body began to emit a golden light, and then his body twitched slightly.

It was just twitching at first, and gradually turned into twitching violently. Every muscle in the body was beating, and the bones and joints on the body were also making fine crackling sounds. The hands wrapped in the gauze also twitched and then snapped the gauze away, revealing a pair of intact hands.

The light on his body became more and more dazzling, and the light emanated from every part of the skin, as if this was not a person, but a piece of carbon burning with light. Finally, the light gradually weakened and disappeared, and the twitching of the body gradually subsided. Asa lay on the bed as if he just fell asleep ~IndoMTL.com~ Sedros looked at it and said, "It's all right, but he should still sleep for a day or two before his body fully recovers and wakes up. "

Xiaoyi's hand stroked his jet-black hair, and then slowly slid across his forehead, brow bone, straight nose bridge to the edge of his lips. She looked at him for a while as if she was going to burn him in her eyes, then she got up and said to Sedros, "Thank you, sir, for saving him."

Sedros shook his head and said, "If it wasn't for you, I would never use the leaves of the World Tree to save him. So it wasn't me who saved him, but you who saved him."

Xiao Yi said lightly: "No matter what, I still have to thank you, and I have to trouble my husband to take care of him for the next two days."

"Are you going back now?" Sedros asked.

Xiaoyi nodded and said, "Yes. I have already promised you something, so I will naturally do it. It is meaningless to delay it. It is getting late."

"You are such a sensible child." Sedros sighed, he suddenly felt a little guilty, and took out a scroll from his arms to her. "This is the teleportation scroll that Bishop Ronis left for you."
