Chapter 509 The Twin Trees of Good and Evil
Clark bent close to the mouth of the well, saw Henry Baldwin lying at the bottom of the well, like a dead dog with a broken spine, couldn't help grinning happily, then stretched his long arms into the mouth of the well, and grabbed Baldwin's hair, like catching a chicken It seemed to lift him up from the bottom of the well.
"Brother, what are we going to do with this guy?" Clark turned back and asked Joan.
Joan thought for a moment, took out a bundle of rope from the storage bag, and handed it to Clark: "Search first, then tie him up so that he won't slip away."
The frost giant took the rope and put it around his wrist, and then lifted Henry Baldwin upside down. With a slight shake, all the items that Baldwin was carrying fell to the ground.
Among a pile of miscellaneous things such as money bags, pipes, tobacco boxes, tinderboxes, and pocket knives, Joann bent over to pick up two objects that exuded magical auras.
Joan first picked up a palm-sized magnifying glass with a smooth ivory handle. When he looked through the mirror at the opposite stable, he was surprised to find that his line of sight penetrated the thick wooden wall and directly saw the animals kept in the wood. Horses behind the wall.
Holding this magical hand mirror, Joan recalled that Baldwin had just shown the "Snake Hand" Sharman this magical device with a see-through function. It is said that he can see the fetus in the mare's belly through the flesh and blood.
Judging from his personal verification just now, this hand mirror can not only see through flesh and blood, but can even penetrate through wood and rocks to observe the situation on the opposite side.
There is no doubt that this hand mirror is enchanted with some powerful prophecy spell. As for the specific spell, Joan has no time to analyze it yet.
Joan put away the "see-through hand mirror", and then observed the second magical object found on Baldwin's body.
The appearance of this thing is quite ugly, it looks like a tree root, about half a foot long, dark red in color, covered with large and small root nodules on the surface, and the slender roots are like a bunch of twisted blood vessels.
When Joan held it in his hand to observe, he vaguely felt that the thing was still trembling slightly, like a deformed heart that hadn't stopped beating.
"This thing... seems to contain some kind of evil vitality."
Joan frowned, and suddenly remembered something, so he freed his right hand and took out the "Branch of Irminsur" from the storage bag.
When he brought the "Branch of Irminthur" close to the weird tree root, he found that the "Branch of Irminthur" emitted an unprecedentedly intense scarlet light, indicating that the root was indeed some kind of extremely evil. Revitalize plants.
At the same time, the weird tree roots stopped trembling, as if they were suppressed by the "Branch of Irmin Sur", and were forced to hibernate.
These obvious signs made Joan conclude that this strange and evil tree root is the magic tool unique to the Conquering Order, that is, the tool that "Snake Hand" Sharman and Henry Baldwin relied on to create and control the "Blight Monster". The key prop - the Ganthias tree root!
Joan held the "Branch of Ilminsur" and "Gantias Root" in both hands, sensing that the two plants, which are good and evil, are hostile to each other, and they both wish to completely destroy each other.
Relatively speaking, the magical power of the "Branch of Irminsur" is better than that of the "Gantias Root", so it can suppress the evil power of the opponent.
Since Joan has been attuned to the spirit of "Branch of Irmin Sur", "Gantias Root" sensed the aura of his old enemy from him, and instinctively rejected him, refusing Joan to become his new master after Baldwin .
Joan couldn't use the magic power contained in this evil tree root, and was reluctant to destroy it, so he put it in the storage bag for the time being and studied it slowly in his spare time in the future.
There was nothing else Joan was interested in about Baldwin, but he immediately remembered the magic crystal revolver that Baldwin had just used.
Since the pistol was not on Baldwin's body, it must have been lost in the magical trap created by the "pit-making technique".
Joan walked up to the pit and made a gesture to dispel the spell, and the 20-foot-deep pit in another dimension disappeared, and the stone floor became smooth and level again, without any damage.
The magic crystal pistol that had fallen at the bottom of the pit also floated up to the surface as the pit disappeared, and lay quietly at Qiao An's feet.
Joan picked up the magic crystal pistol, which felt heavier than it looked.
He tried to turn the magazine, deeply curious about the delicate structure of this pocket firearm.
At this moment, there was a shout from behind, Joan came back to his senses, turned around and saw that it was Baldwin who woke up from a coma, and found that he was tied up, and there was a frost giant guard beside him, so he screamed in fright , attracted the attention of the frost giant, and then tried to intimidate the other party.
"Big guy! Do you know who I am? To tell you the truth, General Isaac Hooker, the garrison commander of Port of Princes, is my uncle! Let me go quickly, or General Hooker will never let me go if he finds out what happened to me. you!"
"Ha! You scoundrel, you have already become a prisoner, and you still speak so loudly, you really don't know how to live or die!"
Clark sneered and bent down, flicking his fingers on his forehead, reminding him to recognize the reality with this small punishment.
The frost giant was extremely powerful, with fingers thicker than carrots. It seemed that it had slightly flicked its head, but Baldwin felt as if he had been hit by a sap in the head.
"You, you dare to hit me? The consequences are serious, do you know that!"
"The consequences will never be more serious than your scandal of kidnapping people and horses for breeding." Joan came over and said coldly.
"What do you know!" Baldwin continued to argue with his eyes wide open: "The work I am doing here has been authorized by the Port of Princes military in advance, and it is to cultivate better war horses for the military. You two don't know where to go. The guy who came out, broke in without authorization and interfered with my work, your behavior is tantamount to opposing the military, and you have committed a felony of treason, you are going to be hanged, you know!"
Clark was stunned by Baldwin's words, and asked Joan in a low voice with some unease: "Brother, if we kill Baldwin, will the consequences be as serious as he said?"
"This guy is probably scaring people. The Alfheim military still needs face, and will never admit that the dirty deeds he did were authorized by the military, but there is one thing he didn't brag about, Huh General Ke is indeed his backer, if we get too involved in this matter, we will inevitably offend General Hook and the conquest sect behind him."
Joan truthfully stated his guess.
Clark scratched his head, and asked hesitantly, "I don't want to provoke those lunatics from the Conqueror Order, or... we might as well hand Baldwin over to the Centaur Clan. It's a grievance and a debtor."
