Witch, don't be so lazy
Page 149
Of course, to be fair, Anke felt that Sutur's ideas were equally ingenious.
According to the great hero, when he saw Anke yesterday, he immediately sensed the breath of dusk. At the same time, he thought of a way in half a day. By adjusting the armor-donning ceremony, he could include Anke in it. No matter whether he was dead or alive in the end, Anke would be immune to the influence of the evil spirit for a short period of time.
In other words, the armor ceremony can work no matter what.
To be honest, I was a little moved by the encore.
But the problem is, she doesn't actually need the help of a big hero.
The Lord of Dark Sun is not an evil creature, he is a genuine god. Although he did try to influence Encore, unfortunately, "Encore is not affected."
She also thought about whether to help Sutur, but the great hero had said before that he was unwilling and unable to become a follower of other gods.
As for relying on Miss Anke to use the system to help him, well, not to mention whether the system has this function, even if it does, Anke doesn't know how to use it. Even if she knows, she can't activate it at the risk of exposing Tongbao.
The system is her highest-level secret, almost as important as her life, and she would never tell anyone about it.
Although the Great Hero is a very nice person, Tongbao treats me better. I'm sorry.
However, Anke agreed to become the sword bearer.
On the one hand, Sutur acted too quickly. When Anke was confused, he had already chosen the person. And Anke didn't know how to refuse. He couldn't just say, "I have a system, I'm not afraid of the impact", right?
On the other hand, she actually has some little thoughts.
First of all, just based on those exaggerated deeds, Sutur is definitely one of the top people in the Northern Sun School. His self-created magic is ridiculously powerful, and he is also connected to the legendary Giant Kingdom. If you miss this opportunity, you will never get it again.
Secondly, Anke felt that after this experience, she could cast the spells of the School of the Fiery Sun openly in the future. This was a good cover, and she felt that the bigwigs in the tower would not object to this decision.
Just like the church gave the identity of Saint Celineville, although no one knew what their plan was, but when they did this, people who didn't know the inside story would never have imagined that the church's Saint was actually the Saint of the Dark Sun Lord.
The same is true in the North. It is hard for others to imagine that the successor chosen by Sutur is actually the priest of the Lord of Dark Sun, or even the chosen one of the Witch of Winter. The contrast here is really incredible.
Of course, Encore was not completely shameless in taking advantage of the hero's kindness for free.
Although Kunda and others were not optimistic about this choice, Sutur also comforted the swordsman after telling him what he would have to bear, "Don't be afraid, I'm better than you think, just cooperate with me when the time comes", but Anke herself knew that she was actually not bad at all.
In terms of mental strength alone, she has consumed several second-level spells. As for control, she practiced telekinesis magic, and it was advanced at the sophisticated level. In terms of attainments in the Lieyang School, Kunda learned two low-level spells, and Anke only had one, but hers was the "Holy Flame Summoning", which was strengthened by Xiao Anri.
In addition, she also knows a little about "Holy Spirit Calling". Although she doesn't know much, she should know better than Kunda and Momo. What if it comes in handy someday?
Moreover.
If we really want to think about who is suitable to be the successor of Sutur, although Anke is a mage of the Chaos School, she is confident that she is definitely one of the most suitable children in the entire North to inherit Sutur's magic. This "one" is added out of modesty. Well, at worst, I can just work hard. Who is afraid of who?
Of course, she didn't say these things, but just replied, "I will try my best, Lord Sutur."
Anyway, most people won't believe it even if I tell them, so I might as well see for myself when the time comes.
……
As the ochre light lit up, Momo stopped chanting and her hands left the ground.
In front of everyone's eyes, the skeleton dragon suddenly underwent a drastic change. The black mist symbolizing negative energy disappeared in an instant, and even its appearance changed.
The skeleton, once covered with a layer of oil-like plating, now began to peel off, like shedding skin, revealing a brand new skeleton.
The surface has a strange bronze color and intricate patterns. It is not the result of deliberate etching, but more like a natural product.
Like rocks buried deep underground, it is the withering nature, with gorgeous patterns formed by the flesh, blood, and bones of countless creatures, and then flattened over a long period of time.
The earth is both the place where life is born and the destination of all matter's death.
Because of this, the School of Earth and the School of Necromancy have always had common overlaps.
The negative energy that the Well of Silence had previously painstakingly added to the Skeleton Dragon has now all become nutrients for its transformation.
The skeleton dragon opened its eyes. Its pupils, which once shone with pale flames, had now become empty, a terrifying emptiness that contained nothing and yet seemed to encompass many things.
"Roar--"
It let out a low roar, but it was not the dragon roar it used to be, more like the low hum of something.
The nameless, mixed, ignorant and savage monsters buried deep underground groaned together.
"Alright, the transformation is complete. This thing has become a monster of the earth."
Momo let out a long sigh, her flaxen curly hair stuck together due to sweat, sticking to the girl's slender neck.
It was the first time that An Ke saw Momo so tired. Even before, when she was continuously casting high-level spells, Momo always looked relaxed.
However, judging from Kunda's surprised expression, which made him unable to close his mouth, this seemed to be a very amazing thing.
"She completed the earth vein connection in an instant. This resonance talent is not far from power. It requires the careful coordination of at least eight third-level senior earth school mages to achieve energy transformation, but she actually accomplished it alone. It seems that the sage has indeed found the most suitable disciple. Finally, someone in the North can inherit earth vein magic."
The voice of the great hero rang in Anke's heart. He still followed the custom of those years and called Kumo "Sage of the Earth".
"What is a leyline connection?"
"Through resonance, connecting with the earth veins and mobilizing the earth's energy, to some extent, it can be considered infinite magic power. However, it is subject to the maximum instantaneous output of the resonator, and the connection time is also limited. If the duration is too long, the communicator will easily sink into the will of the earth."
Sutur gave an answer immediately, and the output was still as abundant and fast as before.
"Although the powerful mages of the School of Earth have some way to mobilize earth veins, most of them require lengthy preparations and have many restrictions, such as fixed locations and limited freedom in casting."
"Therefore, even if they master the corresponding magical attainments, they still cannot be considered to have truly mastered earth magic. It is not something that can be obtained simply through hard work."
"Even the sage back then was only able to freely cast earth magic after he was promoted to Legendary and passed through the domain."
"Ms. Momo likely didn't achieve this effect on her own. She probably combined it with the talent shared by the gecko. Regardless, this is indeed a performance close to that of a witch. It seems I don't have to worry about the future of Black Rock City anymore."
The hero was happy, but also a little emotional.
"Each generation is stronger than the last. I've slept on and off for hundreds of years, and when I opened my eyes, I've become the waves crashing on the beach."
As a younger generation, uh, I guess you could say that. Anyway, Miss Encore’s eyes widened immediately.
What the hell!
It turns out that Momo has such a big cheat?
Although An Ke knew that the girl must be hiding something, after all, she always acted as if she was at ease, but this was too much!
"Haha, you're envious, aren't you? It's normal to be envious, but don't be too discouraged. You're still young, and young people should have ambitions. When I was your age, I was still following my tribe across the snowy plains, heading towards a tower that I didn't know was real or fake. Every day when I opened my eyes, I was looking for food, and the second I closed my eyes, I was worried that I would become food for monsters. Alas, back then, a steppe wolf could chase me everywhere, but in the end, didn't I still make a name for myself?"
The hero started to chatter again, trying to comfort the little girl.
"If you can practice my magic, there's hope you'll catch up with her in the future. After all, the existing evil spirits are closer to the originals than projections. It will be easier for you to replicate the power of Dusk Blade Levatin, and you'll go further than I did."
"And there's Hepermonk, the Fallen Dragon Snake. After battling the blood of the evil dragon for hundreds of years, I feel like I've gained a new understanding of it. I should be able to complete further transformation."
When Sutur said this, he was silent for a moment, sighing a little.
"Back then, I made a bet with the Sage. I said that once I reached Legendary status, I would show him, the Guardian of the Earth, the power of the Dragon Snake Sword, rumored to be able to slay the Lord of the Earth. Sadly, now I'm struggling to even return to Rank Four. Alas, I can't even go to the Kingdom of Death. I made a pact with the giants there..."
The hero's mumbling became quieter and quieter, until the sound gradually disappeared.
And at the same time.
Momo controlled the skeleton dragon and reinforced the chains with magic power.
"Don't untie it yet. Wait until we've dealt with those cultists. Then Momo will control it to climb above the giant tower and have Mr. Sutur kill it in front of the entire city. This will increase the chances of the Holy Spirit ritual succeeding."
Everyone nodded.
This was arranged in advance.
Match-fixing.
According to Kunda, when the time comes, we will publicize that—
[The remaining souls of Sutur and the giant dragon of the rock mountain remained in the world. The former was hidden in the dragon-slaying sword, and the latter's dream was sealed in the ground under the giant tower.
For hundreds of years, the former has been suppressing the latter. Unfortunately, due to the interference of the Disaster Cult, a crack appeared in the seal. The residual soul of the evil dragon bewitched the descendants of the Asda family, causing them to become crazy. In the end, they committed unforgivable crimes, colluded with the cultists, stole the Dragon Slaying Sword, put Sutur to sleep, and tried to release the evil dragon. However, they were interfered with by Kunda, and the conspiracy did not succeed completely.
In these years, the city lord has been living in seclusion in order to strengthen the seal, guard against the unyielding Disaster Cult, and search for the lost Dragon Slaying Sword. Unfortunately, the sword has not been found, and the cracks in the seal are getting bigger and bigger.
Finally, the evil dragon's soul was reborn and cooperated with the black wizard of the Disaster Cult in an attempt to destroy the city of Asda.
At the same time, Mage Momo from Black Rock City and Mage Anke from Xueshan Town met by chance while fighting against the Disaster Cult and together they searched for the Dragon Slaying Sword.
When the city of Asda was in danger, they awakened Sutur, who had been sleeping for many years, and gained the recognition of the great hero. Finally, they cooperated with Kunda and worked together to defeat the evil dragon's soul and the black wizard.
The play ends. 】
This is a very bardic story and will surely be loved by the general public.
Not only does it incorporate elements that are popular with the public, but it also successfully connects many things together, and can withstand the scrutiny of those who do not know the truth.
For example, the evil dragon, evil spirits, the corruption of the Asda family, the strange behavior of the city lord, the disaster cult, and even the secret treasure of the Asda family.
Anke just found out that the outrageous news she had heard in the Adventurer's Hall was actually spread deliberately by Kunda, so that if the double ritual was finally activated, a dragon-slaying sword could be created to explain the soul form of Sutur.
I'm really impressed. How come all the rumors here seem fake, but are actually quite true?
After finishing these tasks, what to do next.
That's the battle.
Find those long-awaited enemies, the Apostle Bro of the Well of Silence, the Blightbringer of the Scourge Cult, and the Wailing Angel, and then kill them.
Clear the obstacles, complete the rituals that need to be completed, and finally wait for fate to favor you.
Chapter 141 Battle
The sky is clear and the wind is howling.
Looking forward from the sky, you can see the sun slowly setting in the west, the endless mountains, and the snow-capped fields covered with a layer of fine gold.
The young sentry was both excited and extremely nervous.
Because this was his first time to lead the flight of the airship alone, he usually had to follow the captain's instructions and cooperate as his deputy.
He said he was cooperating, but in fact he did almost everything. After all, he had never fallen out of the top five in the operational assessments over the years.
On the contrary, that guy is arrogant and has mediocre abilities. He only became the captain because of his good family background and as a direct descendant of the Page family. He only barely met the standards in all the assessments, but he ended up being the captain. It's really depressing.
But he never expected that with the fall of the Page family yesterday, that guy seemed to be implicated and sent to jail, and the task of air patrol fell on him.
After hearing the news, he was grateful to the Lord of Kunda City and the talented little wizard named "Anke" for a long time.
Of course, while happy, the sentry was also very nervous.
It wasn't that he didn't have the skill and courage to fly solo, but rather that he had noticed something unusual. For example, all the reconnaissance airships in the warehouse had been dispatched at once this morning, far exceeding the usual scale. Furthermore, Lord Turner had demanded that "anyone who noticed anything unusual should immediately send a message back to Asda City."
If you combine this with some rumors within the city guards, whose truth or falsity is unknown - "Eselin is colluding with the Disaster Cult", "the terrible evil spirit sealed underground", "the black wizard with ulterior motives", "the missing orphan girl and adventurers have all become sacrifices"... everything makes people imagine.
Therefore, as soon as the sentry received the order early in the morning, he began to patrol along the southwest of Arthda City, maintaining a high level of concentration for a long time by taking potions and casting spells.
There is no way. Flying an airship is a very energy-consuming job and requires a very high level of quality from the driver.
After all, the sky has never been a safe place, especially in the north. The blizzards here are completely unreasonable and unpredictable, and they have the power to destroy everything.
What's more, the sky has always been the domain of flying monsters. After thousands of years of survival of the fittest, those monsters have long adapted to the cold winds of the north and are extremely aggressive.
Although the airship driven by the sentinel is equipped with some self-defense weapons, it is still mainly used for reconnaissance and needs to avoid the enemy as much as possible.
But, he seems to be lucky.
From morning to afternoon, I didn't notice anything unusual. When it started to get dark, I could go back to the city to rotate...
As soon as this thought flashed through the sentry's mind, he caught a glimpse of the darkness in front of him out of the corner of his eye.
His first thought was that he could return early.
Because the inky cirrus clouds are the prelude to a snow storm, in the words of their pilots, "that is the winter punishment of the Northern God." Every time a storm rolls up, a large area of the sky will turn black, forming a sharp contrast with the white snow and blue sky.
However, the next moment, the sentry's face turned extremely pale.
Because he found that he had seen it wrong, the red alarm beside him began to scream, constantly reminding him of the powerful magical reaction ahead.
The black area is not the sky above, but the earth below.
That wasn't a snowstorm, but an overwhelming... tidal wave of snakes?!
Since he was born, the Sentinel had only seen such horrific scenes in the photo stones that recorded the War of the Wandering Sea, but he never thought that one day he would be able to experience it in person.
Long black snakes covered the mountains and flooded the rocks, snow and forests. They were like a pitch-black avalanche, turning into an unstoppable torrent that swallowed everything.
What is even more despairing is that there are actually two more disasters that can be compared with the scene before us!
Although the point where their magic fluctuations were generated was quite far away, the sentinels quickly discovered the terrifying movement thanks to the height of the airship and the telescope.
A large number of undead creatures appeared at the four o'clock direction.
Most of them were ordinary zombies, a few were first and second level ghosts, and the leader was a third level necromancer, who was holding up a skull staff and casting a high-level spell called "Bloody Storm".
This is a very classic and famous spell from the necromancy school.
