Lord Highlander

  Chapter 780 769. Spiritual Grooming

  Through the glass window, you can see the soaring flames emerging from the north city wall, and the ghost pattern red ants climbed up the mountain walls on both sides of the city wall.

  Under the rain of arrows, the ghost-striped red ants charging towards the city wall fell down from the mountain wall one after another...

  The residents of Dodan Town seem to have become accustomed to this kind of life. They can even calmly climb onto the roof, set up a grill, and discuss the battle situation of the last two days while having dinner. They even occasionally drink some wine.

The interior of the room is very warmly decorated, perhaps because the owner of this small building is a tailor shop owner. On the wall of the room is a fabric mosaic painting, which shows the thorny mountains and vast grasslands of the Bailin plane. There are also some white chives dotted on the grass paved with flannel.

There are five supports on the circular copper chandelier on the roof, and each support can place a trident-style candlestick. The white candle on the candlestick is burning and continuously pours into the copper bowl of the candlestick base. Dripping streams of wax oil.

There is also a light brown blanket on the floor. It can be seen that the tailor shop owner is a person who knows how to live and likes to be simple and economical. The carpet is made of some leftovers of the blanket. The fragment pattern is almost perfectly symmetrical.

  The life magic pattern was placed on the small table next to the bed, and the single bed was also covered with thick cushions.

  Aphrodite was wearing a black robe, lying sideways on the bed, silently watching Suldak prepare the items needed for the sacrificial ceremony.

Suldak brought in a small bed table from the outside, and placed four pottery bowls on it. As the faint blue flame rose, the reflection on Suldak's chiseled face was also stained. Putting on a little blue, he placed the head of a Moonblade Fire Wolf in the center of the altar, knelt half-kneeled in front of the altar, and chanted the spell reverently.

A large amount of spiritual power radiated from the faint blue flames. These spots of spiritual power seemed to be attracted by the vortex in the center of the square table, and slowly condensed the double-faced four-armed demon statue in the room. The head of the statue was almost Top to the roof.

  Aphrodite looked at the Demon God Statue in front of her, and seemed a little unconfident. She looked at Suldak hesitantly, and asked, "Do you think this kind of ritual... I can do it?"

  Although Suldak was not clear about it, he had enough primary sacrifices, so he wanted to try some boldly.

   "Try it and you will know." Suldak said with a smile to Aphrodite.

   Then he picked up the primary sacrifice in his hand, and whispered in the back of his mind:

  ‘—Anu—Anu—Tasamet—Tasamet—’

Suppressing the discomfort, Suldak handed the sacrifice to the face of the god. Seeing that the sacrifice floating in mid-air seemed to disappear out of thin air, Suldak chose the "god" for Aphrodite. Blessing of God's Blessing.

  A ray of light fell on Aphrodite.

  Suldak immediately asked her: "Is there any discomfort?"

  Aphrodite stared wide-eyed, seeing that the skin color of her arms seemed to be lighter, she smiled sweetly at Suldak, and said, "This feeling is really good..."

   "It doesn't look like a problem!" Suldak breathed a sigh of relief, and then took out the head of a moonblade fire wolf from the magic sealing box, and placed it in the center of the altar.

   Pick up the magic pattern of life and spread it on Aphrodite's arm.

  The front end of the 'T'-shaped magic pattern formed a beautiful ring on Aphrodite's slender wrist.

  The remaining slender part stretched back against her arm, all the way to the elbow.

Suldak thought it was not bad here, but he still wanted to know what Aphrodite thought, so he asked: "The shape of this magic pattern looks good, no matter where it is implanted, it can be implanted, Aphrodite?" Where do you want to get tattooed, Frody?"

Aphrodite leaned against Suldak with her upper body, and used her sharp black nails to cut off the black robe on her right arm, revealing the dark round arm wrapped inside, and raised her arm together with the magic pattern to Suldak's eyes , looked at Suldak winkingly, and asked with a laziness in his voice, "What do you think is good?"

  Suldak obviously couldn't stop a succubus from inadvertently showing its charm. While he was still awake, he quickly avoided Aphrodite's eyes and said:

   "Arm...should be fine."

   Aphrodite stared at Suldak with a half-smile, paused before asking him, "Want to see the wound on my back?"

  Suldak didn't react at first: "Well, what?"

  Aphrodite narrowed her eyes and said boldly: "The place where the wings were cut off..."

   Hearing what she said, Suldak realized that Aphrodite's wings must have been cut off, and there must be a wound on her back. If this magic pattern of life is implanted on her back, it can just cover the scar on her back.

  Suldak asked Aphrodi somewhat unexpectedly: "Aphrodi, do you have magic patterns on your body?"

   "Yes! The magic lines on the knights are the source of my magic. The most complicated magic lines are usually distributed on the wings, but unfortunately they were cut off." Aphrodite glanced back, as if she was still nostalgic for her previous pair of wings.

  The succubus stood on the carpet with bare feet, turned her back to Suldak, took off the black robe on her body, and the silk cloth was piled up at the succubus' feet, revealing the beautiful bumpy body inside.

  Just seeing the back of the succubus made Suldak's heart beat faster, with a bulging chest, a slender waist that can't be grasped, and a peach-shaped plump buttocks...

He was no longer the kind of young boy who didn't understand anything, endured the strong shock of his heart jumping out of his throat, glanced at the double-faced four-armed demon statue and the life magic pattern in his hand, and gave himself Some psychological hints, reminding myself repeatedly that I am holding a ceremony to colonize the magic pattern, the flame in my heart slowly extinguished, and I looked at the back of the succubus seriously.

  Suldak still remembered that when he first saw Aphrodite, there were two raised wing roots left on her back, which were bandaged with blood at that time.

  Now, the back of the succubus is as flat as a human being's, spreading from the shoulder blades to the shoulders and neck, and two very clear dark purple scars look a little shocking.

   Each scar is a foot long, and it looks symmetrical.

  At this time, Aphrodite's whole body lit up with orange-red flame-shaped patterns, all over her body, only the two scars on the back of her spine, without any flame-shaped patterns, and her dark purple skin completely dimmed.

  Suldak plucked up his courage, tried his best not to shake his hands, and spread the 'T'-shaped life magic pattern on one side of the scar, unexpectedly being able to completely cover one side of the scar.

"Okay, let's go here! After the wings are broken, even the magic lines are useless here. If new magic lines can be implanted, it may be good." Suldak motioned Aphrodite to lie on the bed, Then she covered her body with the sheet, only revealing a part of her slightly skinny back.

  Looking at the two scars on Aphrodite's back, Suldak asked, "What about the two bones?"

   "It fell off when I was in the barren land." Aphrodite replied calmly, without any loss.

Suldak once again sacrificed a monster's head, and then used the power of the altar to completely peel off the life magic pattern from the monster's leather, covering the scar on Aphrodite's right shoulder bit by bit. , Watching those magic lines merge into Aphrodite's skin, the magic lines around Aphrodite's skin also light up.

   The process of merging the magic patterns was somewhat beyond Suldak's expectations, and Aphrodite's muscles tensed, as if she had endured some kind of great pain.

  She tried her best to look up her head as if to shout, but no sound came out of her throat.

   After a while, a strong mental shock erupted from Aphrodite's body and spread to the surroundings. All the glassware in the room, as well as the glass of the entire small building, burst instantly and shattered into countless powders.

  Suldak directly suffered the strong impact, only felt dizzy for a while, his eyes were a little dark, and it took a few seconds for him to recover.

   At this time, I only felt that the bottom of my nose was sticky, and I wiped it with my hand, but it turned out to be covered with blood.

  Aphrodite stood up wrapped in a sheet, watching Suldak quietly from the side.

  The life magic pattern of the queen ant seemed to be reborn on Aphrodite's back, and a transparent phantom like a cicada's wing appeared behind her.

   Such a phantom with transparent cicada wings looks extremely incongruous to her.

  Suldak took out a handkerchief and wiped his mouth. After wiping off the blood, he asked Aphrodite, "How do you feel?"

"As you guessed, this life magic pattern mainly enhances the spiritual power. In addition to these, it also has the ability just now, which can burn the spiritual power to cause an impact on the surrounding..." Aphrodite lightly moved her hand. Rubbing his forehead lightly, he explained to Suldak.

Suldak supported Aphrodite's shoulders, pushed her to the front of the bronze mirror in the bathroom, made her turn sideways to look at the brand new magic pattern behind her, and said to her: "Very successful... no ?"

  Selena stood at the door of the room with a silver tray, pointed to the panicked neighbors outside, and said to Suldak: "I think maybe I need to explain to them that this was a complete accident..."

  Suldak touched his forehead and said, "Um, go tell them that I will pay for all the losses caused this time..."

  …

  Suldak went downstairs, only to find that the living room was also in a mess, and all the glassware had burst.

Signa and Nika were sitting in the dining room, the plate in front of them was broken, and the creamy corn soup on the plate flowed all over the table. Nika was carefully tidying up the pieces of porcelain on the table, wiping the soup on the tablecloth with a rag. Wipe dry.

  Signa was gnawing on a piece of whole wheat bread with her head down, and there was a silver plate in front of her with some soup in it.

  Seeing Suldak coming down the stairs, he pouted and complained to Suldak dissatisfiedly: "Dak, you ruined our dinner!"

   "Ah, sorry, if you are not full, let Selena take you out to eat..."

Suldak made an apologetic gesture to Signa, and then hurried out, walked through the courtyard gate to the street corner, where many residents had already gathered on the street, and everyone seemed very flustered, they were talking together about the weird events that just happened.

  Who would have thought that the glassware in the house would explode in an instant after it was fine one second.

  Suldak walked to the street corner.

Immediately someone recognized his identity. Residents in the town had mixed opinions about the commander of the garrison camp, but he was recognized by the town residents as one of the ten most unprovoked figures in Dodan Town. Seeing him approaching, everyone shut up and all complaints stopped.

   "Everyone, I am responsible for the accident that just happened." Suldak stood at the intersection and said to the surrounding residents.

   Then he told Nika who was following him: "As for the loss to everyone, Nika, you will make a statistics tomorrow and you will make compensation tomorrow!"

   "Got it!" Nika replied in a low voice.

  He stood there for a while, not daring to speak in front of him, so he pulled out the horse from the yard, and rushed to the north city wall to check the battle situation in the dark.

   There is no way to live in the attic on the second floor tonight. A carriage drove Selena, Aphrodite, Signa, and Nika to the barracks.

  As soon as Surdak left, these residents complained about their losses...

  …

  On the north city wall, the attacking rhythm of the ant colony was significantly accelerated, and almost all the ghost-striped red ants in the entire canyon gathered under the north city wall.

As a wall of fire was ignited under the city wall, almost all of the thirty-five bed crossbows were aimed at the densely packed ghost-patterned red ants on the mountain walls on both sides. In addition to the rounds of arrow rain, the guards on the city wall had already begun to skillfully use fire. The scale bomb ignited patches of flames on the mountain wall, stopping the attack of the ghost-striped red ants.

  After so many days of fighting, the fighting methods of the ghost-striped red ants have also improved a lot. They also understand that the worker ants should hide behind the soldier ants and avoid the arrows shot from the top of the wall.

  They are now also the terminals of the queen's will, and they can completely complete the orders of the queen without meaningless life and death.

As long as there are fire scale bombs exploding on the mountain wall, and the kerosene burns fiercely on the mountain wall, there will be some fearless worker ants rushing up from everywhere, first covering the burning kerosene with acid , and then pounced into the flames, one ghost-striped worker ant might be useless, but dozens of ghost-striped worker ants rushed up at the same time, and fell into the pile of corpses at the foot of the mountain with the kerosene stained on the mountain wall...

  The fire formed by the fire scale bombs on the mountain wall could no longer last for too long.

Andrew and the ogre guarded the east side of the city wall, and behind them were dozens of first-turn cavalry from the cavalry battalion. Adams and Gallatin guarded the west side of the city wall. Ten mercenaries with first-level strength, as for the dozens of arrow towers distributed on the city wall, Samira and 200 archers are distributed among them, plus 100 continuous crossbowmen from the city defense brigade, these people are already many The strongest combat force in Dan Town.

   When there are giant ghost-patterned soldier ants rushing along the mountain wall, Adams and Gullitum will rush up immediately to block them.

  Suldak boarded the city wall, and saw a group of city guards looking out through the fire wall, with horror on their faces.

  He walked over and looked out of the city following the guards' eyes.

Reflecting the light of the fire, I saw a total of thirty ghost-striped male ants at the front of the ant colony below the city wall. They crowded together like a row of behemoths slowly approaching the north city wall. The bed crossbow on the city The huge crossbow arrows fired could not penetrate the thickened hard armor of the ghost pattern male ant at all.

  They lined up in a row, even if they rushed to the fire wall, they didn't stop. Their huge bodies were inserted into the fire wall, and their heads directly touched the city wall.

  The body of the ghost-striped male ant is like a bridge, built on the wall of fire.

  Teams of ghost-striped worker ants endured the flames and heat waves, and sprayed acid towards the side of the ghost-striped male ants, trying to extinguish the fire.

  Countless ghost-striped soldier ants followed the bridge built by the ghost-striped male ants, quickly crossed the wall of fire, climbed the hot city wall, and came to hide and kill...
