MTL - Summoning the Holy Sword-Chapter 11 Lingering shadows
Originally Rhodes planned to rest for a while near the Lake of Moonlight and continue his journey, but he had to change his mind after encountering the wolf. Considering that the **** smell of the corpse is likely to cause more unnecessary trouble, Rhodes Finally, when the sun went down, I chose a relatively flat highland upstream of the Moonlight Lake as the campsite.
After dinner, Rhodes played the role of sentry again. Although this was a bit harsh on his body, considering that the three of them are only the ones who are most familiar with the environment of the Silvermoon Forest, and only by themselves With combat capabilities, this is also no way out. Although the fat businessman Metz also volunteered to help, but looking at his fat body, although Rhodes and Li Jie didn't say much, their eyes had fully expressed their attitudes. So the fat businessmen who wanted to cry without tears had nothing to do but sit beside them bored to pack their rescued from the wreckage of the floating ship.
Of course, Li Jie didn't relax, at this moment, she was kneeling beside Rhodes, placing her hands on his left shoulder.
"Aliymia." (Dragon: Healing)
With the girl's crisp singing, a faint white light emerged from her palm, and then slowly wrapped around Rhodes' body. In Dragon Soul Continent, the spellcaster generally uses dragon language to cast spells. This is because since the creation of the world, almost 70% of the magic has been passed down in the form of dragon language, and was used by humans in the era of great magic. used widely. As for the remaining parts, it is composed of angelic language, elven language, demonic language, and undead language. As a race originally created and guarded by the ancestor dragon, they also inherit the magic talent and long life of the dragon. And this has also become the dividing line of various classes on the mainland, whether in the kingdom of night (the dragon country of night), the kingdom of light (the dragon country of light) and the kingdom of law (the dragon country of judgment), regardless of their adoption In any political system, the top person must be the dragon soul holder who has inherited the souls of the five dragons, followed by non-humans mainly angels, elves, demons and undead, and then humans.
Of course, due to the different political systems, the class composition of each country is not very similar. As a country ruled by kingship, the country system of the Night Country is relatively strict, and no human exists among its superiors. In the country where light is cooked by the parliament, half of the senior members of the parliament belong to human beings. And the upper class angels, elves, and humans in France are quite balanced, accounting for one third each. This is because the kingdom of law ruled by religious centralism believes in balance. For them, balance is The perfect choice.
Rhodes knows everything about this continent, and he knows what will happen next, which makes him a little worried. After all, players are players in the game. If you ca n’t afford it, you can take off your helmet and turn around. But now it is different. He has become a part of this continent. So, what should he do in the face of the disaster that will happen next?
"Mr. Rhodes ... Mr. Rhodes?"
"what's up?"
Li Jie's voice awakened Rod from contemplation, and he looked up, staring at the girl in front of him. After that, Li Jie finally returned to the usual look, although a little worry appeared between her eyebrows, but compared to the gloomy expression that seemed suspicious at any time at the end of the world, it was already considered Much better.
"Is such that."
Li Jie shook her head, glanced carefully and sat next to the fire with an expression that seemed to have been bitten by a snake. She was counting the materials in her pocket, and lowered her voice.
"Before ... I felt something during the battle with Wind Snake."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Rhodes frowned.
"what?"
"I felt some dark breath from the Wind Snake Lord."
Having said that, Li Jie bit her lower lip.
"But this kind of breath is very thin, and it doesn't look like a creature of the dark family name ... Mr. Rhodes, the wind snake, should not be a dark creature."
Of course not, the wind snake belongs to the wind elemental creature, and the existence of the dark element is not a distant relative, but ...
"you sure?"
"yes, I'm sure."
After hearing the girl's confident and affirmative answer, Rhodes couldn't help falling into meditation. He certainly knew what had happened in this period of time. The Wind Snakes successively attacked the cargo ships on the Fengshang Commercial Road, causing considerable losses, and the country of light claimed that it was a living place after an investigation Shortly thereafter, the kingdom of light sent troops to attack the area and expelled and inhabited the population. massacre. As for the action of the kingdom of light, the kingdom of night quickly responded. They not only sent troops to attack the garrison of the kingdom of light, but also took back the land they claimed to be their own. So, launched a comprehensive aggression against the kingdom of light.
This history happened during the public beta period, when Rhodes and other players were busy familiarizing themselves with the new environment, new systems and upgrades, and did not have too much depth on this part of the background. By the end of the public beta period, the game was officially launched, and when a large number of players flooded in, the kingdom of light and the kingdom of night had broken out into a full-scale war. As for what happened in this, players have their own opinions. Some people think that this is a tragedy that the kingdom of light cannot succeed in trying to regain their own territory. Another conspiracy theorist thinks that it is a provocation by the country of Ye, intentionally setting off war to achieve the purpose of expansion. And many people think that the kingdom of night has long regarded the country of light for a long time. This time, it is a leak that the country of light has handled improperly. Of course, the player has no stand, and it depends on his personal preference. try to figure out.
Regarding these claims, Rhodes believes that there are some reasons --- the southern border region is rich in crystal mines, which is an important resource for any country, and there is no reason for the country of light to let go. And this generation of night dragon that ruled the kingdom of the night, Ion, is indeed a very powerful ruler. Until the middle of the war, even the players known as cunning rogues are difficult to take advantage of his hand. It was even rumored that it was not an npc, but a role played by members within the game company. As for the last statement, after all, during the war, the performance of the National Assembly of Light Country could not be described except for using teammates like pigs. Many players with brain-impaired orders complained, and in the end even many players from the same camp appeared. Taking the initiative to fight back to the kingdom of the night to fight against the strange scene of the kingdom of light, we can see how tragedy the situation was then.
But now it seems that the conspiracy theory of the second faction is closer to reality.
Li Jie's feelings are not wrong. As a creature of the light element, the angel is very sensitive to the dark element. She should not be worse than half-blood. So, the attack of Feng Snake Swarm on Fengshang Commercial Road was indeed a precursor to Ye Zhicheng's attempt to launch a comprehensive attack on the kingdom of light?
It doesn't seem easy.
"Lijie, don't tell anyone about this."
"Okay, Mr. Rhodes."
Upon hearing Rhode's answer, Li Jie nodded. She retracted her hands and examined Rhode's injury carefully. A smile appeared on Bai Jing's face.
"Your injury is much better. If you continue this way, it will be cured in about five or six days."
"Thank you."
Rhode thanked the girl with a slight nod, and then he lowered his head, staring at the system information that appeared in front of his eyes.
The healthy part of the body has gradually returned to green. If this continues, it will not take too long before he can move freely. And now, Rhodes has a lot of things to do.
What should we do first?
Rhodes frowned and fell into thought ...
At the same time, in the place where the floating ship crashed, two figures were slowly coming out of the forest.
"This is the ship you said?"
The headed man said coldly, he was dressed in beautiful white, streamlined armor, etched with engraved patterns of shimmering gold threads. If Rhodes was here, he would definitely recognize that this was the light Border Defense Officer Logo.
The man standing behind the man was wrapped in a black cape, and he could not see his appearance, but in response to the man's inquiry, he just nodded slightly in response.
"They killed my messenger."
The husky voice echoed in the forest under the night, giving a chilling chill.
"It will be killed by such a group of dirty and incompetent mercenaries. It seems that your pet is really incompetent."
"It's not your fault!"
The black cape man's voice suddenly increased a lot.
"If you can find me a more advanced ... dominance level ... no, master level lord, I would not use this lower creature!"
"What a joke, dominance?"
The man snorted coldly.
"What do you think of us? We are only responsible for providing resources. You must do your own business. If we can do everything, what do you want?"
Having said that, the man paused and then his tone slowed.
"How long will it take for you to start again?"
"It takes at least half a month, do you think it's easy to find a group of wind snakes that can indulge?"
"Give you ten days and we will double the pay."
Hearing the opponent's dissatisfaction, the man's expression sank, then he reached into his arms, took out a money bag and threw it over.
"After ten days, I want you to start acting again."
The money bag fell to the ground, and a heavy metal collision sounded. The black cape bent down, stretched out a dry hand to open the money bag, and closed it immediately.
"Well, ten days, I will keep the promise."
"I hope you understand that no third person will know about this."
"Of course I understand ...... by the way, depending on the condition of this ship, there seem to be three or two mice running. Would you like me to help clean them up?"
"No need to."
The man waved.
"I have my own way."
Hearing his answer, Hei Fengpeng smiled coldly.
"Very well, then I'll see what you can do."
A thick shadow appeared flat, encasing the black cape, and then disappeared. Looking at the place where he disappeared, a slight aversion appeared in the man's face.
"The insatiable dead, someday their bones will be ashes!"
After a cold hum, the man turned around and scanned the forest around his eyes with a thoughtful expression. Then, he put one hand on the hilt of the sword and one hand in his mouth, blowing a loud whistle. .
Soon, a gryphon hovered down from the sky and landed on the ground. At the same time, three figures quietly emerged from the depths of the woods. The man glanced at them before turning over and riding a gryphon.
"Go find the three mice and fix them."
Then he gave the order indifferently.
