After returning from the command hall to the high ground of the Mage Tower, Link felt a little heavy. When he was walking back, he suddenly saw a soldier dressed as a scout running over.
The man's face was anxious, his footsteps were messy, and his clothes were covered with dust and mud spots. He ran past Link, passed among the generals who had already walked out of the command hall, and went straight to the hall.
The people who can enter the command hall are outstanding people. Seeing such a strange scout running past, they faintly realized that something happened, and they all stopped and looked sideways.
Link also had an ominous premonition in his heart. He stopped and waited for Duke Abel to call everyone again.
Strangely, that didn't happen.
After the scout entered the fortress, he never appeared again, and the hall was as calm as ever, as if nothing had happened.
Seeing this situation, although the generals were a little strange, they all dispersed. They are very busy, and there are too many things to prepare at this critical juncture of the decisive battle.
Link didn't leave, not only didn't leave, he even walked over.
His eyesight was amazing now, the scout's clothes were ridiculously dirty, but the emblem on the clothes could still be vaguely seen, which was a golden roaring lion.
The golden lion is only worn by soldiers in the hot spring city of Wangdu. That is to say, this messenger is from Wangdu. Judging by his appearance, there is a high probability that something happened to Wangdu.
Returning to the hall, the hall was in order and the officers were handling military affairs in an orderly manner, as if nothing had happened.
However, Link didn't see Duke Abel. When he left just now, the Duke was still sitting there.
Pulling over an officer, Link asked, "Where is the Duke?"
The officer saw that it was Link, pointed to the stairs and said, "The Duke has gone to the study."
"Oh, you record it, I'm going to see him now."
Meetings with the generalissimo by one person must be recorded. This is a military procedure. The formal procedure is to record, then report, and then to see the marshal after obtaining consent, but Link's current identity naturally does not need it.
He strode up the stairs, walked all the way to the door of the Duke's personal study, and knocked lightly on the door.
"I'm busy, I don't see anyone!" The Duke's voice sounded normal from the study, but Link could already hear the anxiety in the words.
'I'm afraid something really happened. '
Activated the hand of the mage, Link opened the lock, and then pushed the door directly to enter.
There were two people in the study room, one was the messenger just now, he was wolfing down food at the small table in the corner, obviously starving, the Duke was sitting at the long table, holding a sweat-stained and The blood-stained letter paper was in a daze.
'Click' Link closed the door.
Link asked: "What happened to the capital? I guess, is there a surprise attack from the Kingdom of Dronga, and their army passed through the Gwent Forest and went straight to Hot Springs?"
Hot Spring City is garrisoned by troops, at least 10,000 people in size, which is not easy to get, so Link is not too worried.
"Heh~" The Duke let out a long breath and collapsed on his chair.
At this time, the scout stretched out his hand to the wine by the small table, and was about to drink it. Link mobilized the hand of the mage, snatched the wine bottle, and then threw a sleeping spell over him. The messenger was already extremely tired. After being enchanted, he lay down and fell asleep without saying a word.
With a flash of magic light in his hand, the wine bottle turned into fine white sand. Link said: "There is no need to kill a loyal messenger just to conceal the news, let him sleep. After waking up, he will forget about it." everything."
The Duke looked at the sky blankly, and said in a low voice: "Master Link, the situation is more serious than you think. When the messenger set off, the outer wall of Hot Spring City had been breached, and everyone was standing firm in the inner city. Otherwise It is impossible for His Majesty the King to send a letter asking for help."
The Duke handed the letter to Link.
Link took it with the mage's hand, glanced at it, and his pupils shrank: "The dark mage Ankelu and Syndicate are indeed very critical."
The Duke looked at Link and sighed: "What do you think I can do? Abandon Orida Fortress and go south to help? No, I can't do it!"
Once the Orida Fortress is breached by the Dark Legion, it will be a catastrophe for the entire human world. The Dark Legion will go south like a flood, washing away all the way, and all the human race will die wherever they pass.
What's more, it may be too late to support now.
So he could only choose to conceal the news, even at the expense of killing the messenger.
A thin sheet of letter paper weighs as much as a thousand pounds.
Link slowly put the letter paper back on the table: "There is no escaping the decisive battle, and there can be no accidents. I am troubled."
After finishing speaking, a white light flashed on Link's body with a soft 'hum', and he disappeared into the study and returned to the magic tower.
In the study, Duke Abel picked up the letter paper, lit a ball of fire, burned the letter paper, and then wiped his face heavily to erase all anxiety and irritability. When he put down his hand, he had regained the majesty of the marshal.
…
When he returned to the magic tower of the fortress, Link felt an inexplicable anxiety in his heart.
This world is full of holes, and darkness seeps in every gap. He has tried his best, but the situation is still so precarious, and it is even getting worse.
'Hot Springs is under attack, what about East Valley College? How is Field? Is Celine going to be okay? ’ Thoughts flooded Link’s mind one after another, almost driving him crazy.
"Master, what's wrong with you?" Nana's crisp voice suddenly sounded, waking Link up.
'No, my heart is disturbed, I still want to preside over the magic circle! I can't be messed up! '
His study is on the top floor of the main magic tower, and one side is full of one-way transparent glass. From here, Link looks out from a distance, which happens to be the Black Forest.
Pulling over a chair, Link forced himself to sit down, just watching the Black Forest quietly, motionless, time slowly passed, and distracting thoughts in his mind became less and less. After a long time, he took a long breath.
"I'm impatient. There is a magic tower in the Field Wilderness, and there are many strong people. Celine's big gun is not a vegetarian. I left a lot of bullets for her. Ankeru is only level 7. If he dares to go, a few shots will kill him." Let him settle..."
Thinking of this, Link's mood gradually calmed down.
At this moment, a message appeared in his field of vision, it was a mission.
Activation mission: Orida Fortress.
Task content: Defend Orida Fortress from being breached by the Dark Legion.
Task reward 1: 300 free points
Task Reward 2: A full empowerment crystal (level 10).
Filled Empowered Crystal
Legendary Crafting Parts
Description: This item recharges any depleted legendary weapon.
Seeing this, Link's heart moved, and he looked at the Storm Lord sword on his waist, and the attributes of the sword body were immediately revealed.
The Profound Truth of the Storm·Lord of Thunder·The Silence of the Worlds
Quality: Legendary High Rank
Current Status: 1/100 (Depleted)
The imbued crystal can definitely recharge this sword, but the level is much lower, and it is estimated that it is far from being fully charged, but it will definitely restore part of the power of this sword.
'It's a pity, a pity, if only I could use this sword in this battle... Not necessarily, I guess the sword spirit of this sword will not let me use it. It's a real headache. '
Just regretting it, the voice of the sword spirit rang in Link's mind: "Who said you can't use it, haven't you been using me these days?" '
Link spread his hands: "This is also useful. Any sword can play the same role as yours, I just do it smoothly."
"Then don't use me anymore!"
"..." Link felt a turning point, and he immediately said: "I was wrong, I have indeed been using you."
After finishing speaking, Link tasted what he said, always feeling that something was wrong.
"Okay, I forgive you, but I don't have enough energy right now... Your dragon power should be able to recharge me, although the efficiency is not high, but I will recharge it from now on, and I should be able to recover some power by tomorrow. It’s better than your Burning Wrath.”
"Are you serious?" Link was overjoyed.
"Hurry up." Jian Ling snorted coldly.
Link was happy but only lasted for a while, and he thought of another question: "I don't know any lightning magic, even if I charge you, it's useless."
This sword strengthens the power of the wind and lightning elements, which Link doesn't know at all.
The sword spirit was silent for a while, as if he was thinking about something, after more than ten seconds, he said: "Look at my sword hilt, do you see that dark red rune?"
"I see." Link said.
"Your blood, drip on it."
"… What does it mean?"
"If you want to use me, drop it!" Sword Spirit didn't explain.
Link did as he did, and swiped his finger on the edge of the sword, and blood flowed out. He dripped the blood on the rune. It was very strange. The blood was originally bright red, but the moment it dripped on the rune, it turned into The transparent water droplets were formed, and all the red was absorbed by the blade.
In the next moment, Link felt the sword body start to vibrate, making a crisp sound of 'ding ding ding', followed by a large number of spider web-like cracks on the sword body.
"Quick, your strength, I want your strength!" Sword Spirit's voice was very hasty.
Link immediately input dragon power without hesitation. His current dragon power upper limit is 6900, and he has a mid-level 8th rank. He is already the number one strongest in Orida Fortress.
But when this power was input into the Storm Lord Sword, there was no movement at all, just like a mud cow entering the sea, Link's dragon power was empty in one fell swoop.
There were still more and more cracks on the sword, more and more, and finally there was a crisp cracking sound, and the Storm Lord's sword became countless fragments.
But the strange thing is that the fragments did not fly around, and there was a crystal red silk thread connecting each fragment. After a moment of calm, these fragments closed again and reorganized.
'Ding Ding Dang Dang~' The clear voice continued to sound, and the blade changed rapidly.
"Power~power~" the sword spirit shouted.
Link's current dragon power recovery rate is 18 points per second, and every time he recovers a point, he inputs it into the sword body.
"It's too slow, too slow, I need more, more!" Sword Spirit shouted.
Link's dragon power recovery speed is related to the energy of the environment. If he wants to recover his dragon power faster, he needs to go to a place with high energy, but where is there more energy
Azaro volcano
Azaro Volcano is 600 kilometers away from the fortress, which is too far away. This plan was immediately rejected by Link.
Element pool
No, he has an elemental abomination effect on him, and the elements in the element pool are far away from him.
After thinking about it, Link suddenly looked at the sky. Today's weather is excellent, and there is a sun in the sky... Link immediately ran to the roof of the mage tower, cast a spell, and released a huge ball of space.
The range of this sphere of space exceeds 100 meters. Within this range, the curvature is only slightly distorted, but like a huge lens, it directly gathers the sunlight within this range onto Link.
Link felt his body heat up, and the clothes on his body caught fire and disappeared.
It doesn't matter, he's fine.
Looking at my own dragon power recovery speed, it reached 64 points per second, and because of maintaining this low-curvature space ball, the dragon power consumption speed was 5 points per second. Seconds increased by more than three times.
"Is it enough?" Link asked.
"Barely."
The sword body was reorganized bit by bit. After two full hours, Link input nearly 450,000 dragon power, and the sword was finally reassembled.
The shape of the sword changed, the groove in the middle disappeared, and very fine dark red scales appeared on the surface, resembling dragon scales, the blade was crystal red and transparent, the blade was wide, the blade was curved, and the hilt was It is a red dragon with open wings, and the hilt is composed of the tails of two red dragons intertwined. There are also fine dragon scales on it, which is very non-slip when held.
Looking at the attributes of this sword, Link has completely lost the appearance of the Stormlord Sword. Even the name has changed. Looking at the attributes carefully, his eyes are about to pop out. This is completely tailor-made for him. !
