Chapter 380 Longwei
"Dukal" is famous among the high elves - "Dukal the genius", "Dukal the dragon slayer" and other similar titles have appeared in many history books, but without exception: Regarding his records, there is It's all done in one stroke, and no ink has ever been spent.
All the reasons lie in his most famous nickname: "Dukal the Cursed".
Nefer didn't know why he was "cursed", but from the records of "Dialogue with the Dragon", she learned a fact: Dukar has never been recognized by the high elves in his life.
"Well, the answer is correct."
Camilla affirmed Naifei's answer in a low voice. She took her daughter's little hand and walked towards the Pasha'er Tower, but she was thinking in her heart to see if there were any new records in the surveillance circle...
Will there be an explosion? Will Roddy be in danger?
Because of her silence, the atmosphere between the mother and daughter became a bit chilly, but Camilla quickly realized that she shouldn't be so cold-hearted about Naifei, so she continued to ask: "Then did the book talk about other things? Did it mention' Longwei, huh?"
"It's mentioned that it's a special skill that can deter enemies based on bloodlines..." Naifei then shook his head, "I haven't read the rest, so I don't know."
"Well, after finishing this book, I will continue to test your questions. Mom is going to the magic tower first. You can play in the library below. Remember not to go out of the city.
"Got it, Mom."
Although Naifei didn't say much, but looking at her mother's back, she could feel the anxiety and worry in the other party's heart—in Naifei's memory, her mother had never cared so much for anyone, even if she asked "" Camilla didn't have any superfluous expression on her face when asked who is her father...
A certain possibility came to mind, and Nai Fei was not sure for a while, so she could only bury this thought in her heart. She looked back at the team that was unloading the spar in the shadow of the magic tower, straightened her fiery red hair, and walked Go to the library at the base of the magic tower.
June fourteenth.
In the northwest of Jingyu Forest, the team of the "Holy Meeting" changed from the previous fast speed. All forty-two members were in the woodland and began to advance slowly step by step.
When the adjutant next to Lucius made the gesture of "stop moving forward", everyone's footsteps immediately stopped in place. At this time, the arcanists did not condense any elements. After the breath subsided, even hunters with keen senses Unable to detect their presence.
However, this kind of "lurking" is just "pediatrics" in Lucius' eyes. His strength has reached his level at this time, and he understands how vigilant the Dragon Clan is.
So as early as an hour ago, he had cast an "Arcane Shielding Barrier" that could perfectly cover up sounds, smells, auras, and even the rhythm of elements.
Obviously, Lucius had already made full preparations.
Things like "slaying a dragon" must go through careful planning and calculation, and it is definitely not as simple and rude as "rushing up to fight" - "Dragon Clan" is a high-level creature, and a giant dragon that has been severely injured and hidden in the forest will naturally be incomparable. Be vigilant... The "no-one" dragons in the bard population are coaxing children, have only one life, and the long-lived dragons understand the principle of "avoiding danger" better than humans.
"Elder, all team members are already in place."
The adjutant reported the status of the team to Lucius in a low voice, "The members of the investigation reported the results. As you guessed, there are no crystals in the ruins."
"After all, dragons are not self-confident creatures. They know how to learn better than humans."
Lucius didn't show any surprise at all. He pointed to the normal scene in front of him, and said, "The other party took away the spar left in the ruins, and then built a warning circle and a protective barrier next to it. But the disguise Although ingenious, there are traces to follow after all.”
Knowing the enchantment, Lucius did not rush to attack...For the team with [Mourning Fang], it is unnecessary to go all out to scare the enemy.
He slowly erected the [Griefing Fang] in front of him, and continued: "It won't take long to disintegrate these barriers, so the barrier of chaos defense must be maintained now... and when the opponent appears, everything will go according to plan There can be no surprises."
Lucius exhaled slowly, and said solemnly, "Remember, even if the opponent is a seriously injured dragon, we don't have a second chance."
"Yes, elder."
The adjutant passed on the order in a low voice, and within half a minute, the arcanists who stood in a special formation began to chant spells silently, and when the "Chaos Defense Barrier" that gathered all the mage's power was quietly formed, Lucius looked up at the "Arcane Shielding Barrier" that could perfectly camouflage the team, and after confirming that there was no problem, he raised his hand and began to cast spells...
At the same moment, Rody's team had just stepped into the ruins.
Because he didn't bring the engineering team forward together, Rody, who only wanted to find the ruins as soon as possible, rushed all the way here.
Due to limited manpower, Rody only asked Nata and two scout teams to investigate and guard the surrounding area. After confirming that "there is nothing abnormal", he immediately ordered the team to start searching the ruins...
This place is indeed as Camilla described, it is a military fortress that has not yet been destroyed.
The buildings of the high elves are different from those of humans. From Rody's point of view, the fortress in front of him looks like a miniature version of Elson City: the walls are not high and the area is not large, but the well-preserved buildings inside are called It must be "complete with five internal organs".
The high elf villages and towns I saw before have many wooden buildings, and now I can’t recognize their shapes, but the fortress has retained a complete layout because of its pure stone material. "Arsenal", "Equipment Warehouse", "Dormitory" and "Canteen" are still standing tall, but the original training place has long been covered with big trees as tall as the city wall. As far as the eye can see, everything seems to be full of primitive breath.
"Don't miss any place, look for it carefully, and report any situation at any time."
Rody, with a short bow on his back and a battle ax in his hand, pointed around: "Team 1 and Team 2 are searching all the rooms on the ground, Team 3 is looking for the entrance to the basement, and Team 4 is guarding outside."
Following the orders one by one, Rody looked up at Nata standing on the giant tree, made a gesture, turned his head and made a "combat alert" gesture to Soderol and Akasha behind him, and then looked at the Glancing at Nokia, who was guarding the entrance of the fortress, he stepped into the depths of the fortress...
Although it looks calm on the surface, the closer you get to the fortress along the way, the tighter the string in your heart will be. It would be a lie to say that you are not nervous. Roddy can withstand the pressure, but it does not mean that he can do it." The heart is like still water"...
The heart was beating faster and faster, and the palms holding the ax were sweating... Rody, who was familiar with Elson City, knew that in the fortress, the crystals stored in the central magic circle were usually in the center of the entire building complex Location: That is, the "command tower" that Rody has just entered.
However, as soon as he walked in, Rody was the first to notice the traces on the ground...
"footprint?"
There was a soft creeper on the ground of the stone room, and a few footprints were clearly visible on it. Soderol immediately took a few steps forward, lowered his head and confirmed: "It should be left within a day, and the traces of the soles of the leather boots are still there. Didn't disappear."
Rody's face changed slightly, he picked up the ax and continued to walk in without saying a word, Soderol followed behind with a sword and shield in his hand, while Akasha, who was standing at the door, frowned and looked around, as if confirming something...
However, she soon realized that she was about to be left in the dark by Rody, so she quickly lit up the ring in her hand and followed the two of them.
The command room is not too big, and Rody quickly found the place marked "Energized Spar Warehouse", but after entering the stone gate, the scene in front of him made his heart freeze instantly:
The whole room is empty, nothing is there
And he and Suo Deluoer noticed a detail at the same time: the dust on the ground has obvious prismatic traces, that is to say... spars were indeed stored here
Suo Deluoer carefully inspected the details of the room, and then whispered: "There are two people's footprints extending here, and there are not many traces of people walking around... But from the dust marks, there are crystal clear here. The number of stones is at least five hundred, and may even be doubled."
"I've heard of magic that can move things, but with so many spars, it's probably hard to move them at once—"
"Someone can move away at once."
Rody narrowed his eyes, and he didn't think of anyone else in his mind. The first thing that came to mind was the Holy Order Arcanist marked with "black".
Only a guy of this level can easily carry so many crystals - and logically speaking, it is normal for the Holy Spirit to be interested in "charged crystals"... So Roddy instinctively judged that this matter may they did.
However, Rody didn't get angry or lost control of his emotions. He took a deep breath, turned around, and whispered as he walked out: "Gather up the information, and make a final confirmation. If there is really nothing here, go to the next target immediately. "
The more desperate he got, the clearer his mind became. After so many setbacks and battles, he already understood how to stabilize the morale of the army at critical moments.
"Report, no spar found"
"Report, not found..."
Walking out of the command room, one piece of news came as expected. Rody pursed his lips slightly and said nothing. However, when the team gradually converged, he found Akasha looking around suspiciously.
"Is there a situation?"
"Roddy, I don't think...is quite right."
Akasha's eyes swept across the stone rooms and the tall giant trees, looking confused but showing a trace of fear: "There is a chaotic atmosphere here... makes me very uncomfortable, I think... we'd better Get out of here as soon as possible."
Rody looked at her and hesitated for half a second, then said loudly without hesitation: "Everyone, retreat immediately!"
Akasha is the only magician in the team, and she has the title of "Angel of Death". Regardless of whether her senses are sharp or not, Rody must trust her intuition
The four groups of soldiers rushed towards the outside of the fortress together with Rody and the others, but within a few steps, everyone heard the sound of the barrier shattering that suddenly spread throughout the sky.
"click"
"don't stop"
An ominous premonition suddenly rose in Rody's heart, and he shouted this sentence to the team, but then he found that everything beside his ears had disappeared.
Filling the whole world is a roar that has never been heard before...
There was no shock wave, no dust blowing up, Roddy felt his mind suddenly go blank, and then he lost control of his body, and his whole body froze in place
And an unprecedented orange warning icon appeared on the [Status Bar]:
【Longwei】: Stiff in place for a minute.
