Chapter 2728 Shadow Lord (1)
Arthur opened his eyes and saw that it was already dawn. Something next to him made a deep purr, and the King of Knights turned to look. It turned out that he had slept on the shoulder of the big white wolf, Bedivere. And now Bedivere is also sleeping soundly, snoring, and even using Arthur's backpack as a pillow, while sleeping on the pillow, he subconsciously bit the shoulder strap of Arthur's backpack, leaving a large piece of drool on it. trace.
"You bastard!" Arthur twisted Bedivere's ear to wake him up: "What's wrong with the guards? Couldn't it be unguarded all night and let the ships of the Holy See pass through here? ?"
"No, I'm replacing him." Belleta said flatly, sitting on the edge of the cliff, "It's been confirmed that no ships have passed through the waters around here all night. That battle last night was all there was to it. Well, you beat the Roman navy badly."
"I hope so." The King of Knights pushed aside Bedivere's dog's head and retrieved his backpack, but the shoulder straps had been bitten by Bedivere's sharp teeth. The thing slid out and fell to the ground.
"You're clumsy." Belleetta sneered sarcastically, then caught a glimpse of a cloth-wrapped object slid beside her. There's a metallic sheen inside that shines through in the sunlight.
"Huh?" The witch curiously reached out and touched the fabric. As soon as she touched the fabric, Arthur exclaimed, "Be careful! Don't touch anything!"
The King of Knights hurried over to take back the thing, but the cloth wrapping it also slipped, and a strange metal book came into view of Belleta.
"This is...?"
"Forbidden book from the abyss," Arthur carefully re-wrapped the book in cloth: "Whoever touches it will go mad. It was presumably trying to trick you into touching the book. Good luck. Risk, really can not relax for a moment."
"Forbidden book in the abyss? No, it's a black magic book, right?" But Belletta showed a look of contempt: "You are also a black magician when you run around with such a dangerous thing?"
Arthur frowned and said, "This thing can't be thrown away. Once you agree with me, the [Master] will always follow me. By the way, why do you think this is a black magic book, and where have you seen it before?"
"Of course I have." The girl shrugged and said, "Didn't I mention last night about the great wizard [Fernandez] who betrayed the ivory tower? He has been holding this metal book with a strange cover. Run around and never let anyone touch that book. There have been similar rumors from the Ivory Tower since a long time ago that Fernandez was a necromancer and evil black magician, and that book contained the secrets of black magic. "
"...Interesting." Arthur's expression suddenly turned serious.
So Big Mage Fernandez has another Book of the Abyss in his hand.
Arthur has two tomes in his hands. Among them, "Abyssal Code: Dime" (AbyssalCode: Dime
sio
s) are books describing enchanting techniques. Arthur learned a lot of enchanting techniques to use, including [Holy and [Deep Chill]]. And what he understands from the book is actually the "deep fundamentals" of enchanting technology. As long as you know the basic principles, you can extend and apply what you have learned from the enchantments of other weapons—the [Evil Destruction] enchantment that I learned later was learned by touching the weapons of [Legion---Winged Angel] . "Abyss Tome" is such a powerful magic tool that it grants people more than just a single piece of knowledge.
The other tome in Arthur's hand is "AbyssalCode: Wo
ds), but Arthur has not paid the [price] for this book, so he cannot obtain the [Intelligence] in the book for the time being, he just got the book. From the perspective of the previous owner of Mantra of Vision, this book should describe the techniques of manipulating undead. The previous owner of the book used something called "Swamp Wraith" to attack Arthur's group, and it was extremely skilled, obviously using the knowledge in the book.
Arthur doesn't know what kind of knowledge the "Abyss Tome" in Fernandez's hands is about, but he can be sure that it is not necromancy, because the abyss Demon Lord Mobius Maiyu, it is impossible to put the same Wisdom is recorded in two separate tomes.
Since Fernandez's Tome of the Abyss is not a necromancy book, what is it? Is Belletta misunderstanding something when she says Fernandez is a "necromancer"?
Arthur knotted the broken shoulder straps of the backpack, and just handled it briefly for the time being, and continued to use it. And he gave Bedivere a stern look.
"Wow?" The big white wolf tilted his head, pretending not to understand. The King of Knights almost wanted to kick the stupid wolf off the cliff.
"There are fried eggs for breakfast!" When the people guarding on the cliff returned to the camp, Zust and his son had already made breakfast. Johnny seemed to have found some bird's eggs somewhere, and placed them on the metal plate he had prepared, frying them in olive oil using the heat of the campfire. The tantalizing aroma of fried eggs wafts around the island.
"You are such a gourmet." Arthur smiled wryly, taking the fried egg and eating it with boiling water. It should be the eggs of petrels or seagulls. These birds are very common on this island, but they build their nests on the cliffs by the sea, which are very difficult to reach - for ordinary people. But with Johnny Zuster's skill, it is easy to obtain such nutritious high-grade ingredients.
"How is it, is it delicious, Lord Aslan?" Joey Zuster asked expectantly: "This is what I got back!"
"You took it? Aren't you afraid of getting hurt?" Arthur ate the fried egg in one bite.
"Don't be afraid. This is also part of the training of vampire hunters." Joey said: "If you are not agile enough to climb a cliff, it will be difficult to survive in the vampire territory in the future."
The reason seems to be this reason.
"Dad, are you still going for a morning run today?" Joey asked again, "It seems like you're going to get on the boat soon?"
"Forget it today, I can't delay the formation of Lord Aslan." Johnny replied: "Instead, you have to run thirty laps on the deck of the ship."
"Okay." Joey nodded.
"Then, Lord Aslan," the big vampire hunter tidied up the camp: "I'll go to the boat and prepare it so we can leave at any time."
"Okay." The King of Knights nodded and watched the big man go away.
"Don't look at Dad like that, he's actually very anxious." When his father walked away, Joey said: "Grandpa was in the base of Corsica, which was hit by the Black Death, and was in charge of training other young people. As a result, the Brotherhood's base was destroyed, more than 30 apprentice hunters were killed and injured, and the whereabouts of grandfather were also unknown.
"Mr. Zuster is missing?" Arthur couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Is the old man already fifty years old? Isn't this very dangerous?"
"Yes. And we've searched all over Corsica to find Grandpa." Joey said, "He was supposed to be forcibly taken from Corsica by someone. But other than that. There is no clue."
Johnson Zuster was the first vampire hunter Arthur knew when he came to this other world. He was still a strong man at the time, and he was very skilled at hunting demons, and he hunted down the seventh primogenitor Vandermian with Arthur. But the years are not forgiving, and after more than ten years, everything has changed. The old Zust, who was in his fifties, should no longer be suitable for fighting. Arthur even doubted whether the old man could still wield the heavy silver whip used to hunt vampires. The old man's physical strength is not good, he may contract the Black Death, and he may even be kidnapped by someone, which is really worrying.
"Johnny is also an outsider, so he didn't tell me such a thing." Arthur complained.
"Dad said that Lord Aslan has a mission and shouldn't be disturbed by such trivial matters, so he didn't say it." Joey shook his head and said, "And I'm afraid that Grandpa is already very bad."
"So you just gave up searching?"
Joey grimaced: "Well... this is the fate of a retired vampire. Even my father has provoked a lot of enemies now, and is often hunted by various demons and vampires. Vampire hunters who are too young to fight can't get a good death, we're used to it."
"Then you've had a hard time too." As Arthur walked to the ship, he took out a nautical chart and thought about something.
The nautical chart has an X mark on Elba Island, and judging from the arrival of the fleet encountered last night, the Church must have a "post" on Elba Island to keep the Roman Navy on the island stop. If we let the ship go to Elba Island like this, we may encounter more warships, and it will be another battle. Arthur had planned to bypass Elba Island and go directly to the port city of Fononica. But he thought about it and decided to let the boat go directly to Elba Island.
"Just set up like this?" On the boat, Verne was discussing something with Belletta. Verne's [Legion---Gun Formation] were neatly arranged on both sides of the deck of the sailboat, as if they were on guard.
"That's right, it's better if it's laid out like this. You can fire directly when you encounter an attack." Belletta said: "And when the Legion Golem doesn't move, it doesn't consume mana, but it can use the surrounding environment. It draws magic power to restore itself, and the speed of magic power recovery is better than storing it in a ring."
"What is the magic power that big sister is talking about~IndoMTL.com~ I don't understand very well...Aren't these golems all perpetual motion machines?" Verne scratched his head and said.
"There is no perpetual motion machine in this world." The witch replied: "Even with great magic, it can't be done."
Arthur shook his head, not like participating in the discussion between the two, but he still summoned the [Legion---Angel with wings] and asked Belletta: "That means my [Legion] ] can also be placed under the cabin ready to paddle, as long as they don't paddle, there will be no magic consumption?"
"Yes." The witch replied.
"It's a nice, sunny day today, and the wind is in the right direction. Go ahead with the sails, Captain," Johnny Zuster joked, putting away the anchor.
"Very good. Go sailing!"
"Go boat!" shouted the big vampire hunter, raising the sails.
Riding the wind, the white-sailed warship confiscated from the Holy See slowly sailed eastward, heading towards Rome. The next stop is the "Station" on Elba Island, and Arthur's gut tells Arthur that a big battle awaits him.
