In the mercenary station directly affiliated to the Blackstone Ring Chamber of Commerce in the Free City, in the private residence of the current mercenary leader, the instructor and leader who was once as cruel and evil as a devil in the eyes of the mercenaries of the Black Glory Mercenary Group is now He was lying on the bed listlessly.
There are burning wounds all over the body, and even some of the charred wounds can vaguely see the gloomy white bones, and there is a strange golden ripple flowing in the wounds, and they will even make unreasonable squeaking sounds when they come into contact with normal flesh and blood. It feels like being hot with a soldering iron. The originally thin right face seemed to have had a piece of flesh and blood taken away, and even the sinister gums covered with bloodshot and broken flesh were exposed. The dripping blood gave people an extraordinarily ferocious feeling.
"Damn it~ That damn guy got arrogant just because he got some power by being the lackey of that **** goddess." Although Rogge looked a little sluggish due to his injuries, his eyes were still filled with strong anger. and murderous intent, whenever Rogge recalled the situation at that time, his whole body would even tremble slightly with anger.
Closide looked at Rogge with a thoughtful look. In Closide's opinion, although Rogge was so seriously injured, he was still so energetic. It seemed like there shouldn't be anything serious. That's a problem. It's rare that this guy who usually bullies others will show such strong hatred and unwillingness when facing a strong enemy for the first time. It's a pity that this guy may only have three minutes of enthusiasm. If he can put this kind of If he keeps his obsession with challenging stronger ones, he will definitely not get to the point where he cannot survive in the Black Dragon Clan.
"┉┉And where did you leave Aisha?"
In fact, Croside didn't know that the reason why Rogge was so unwilling and angry was not because he was thwarted by the old enemy's dragon, but because the originally cooked duck actually flew away again. Obviously, the little elf girl was left behind in the end. In the end, he threw Elsa to the ground because of his greed for property. Now let alone retrieving Elsa, Rogge was not sure whether Elsa's life could be guaranteed.
"I'm sorry~ Because the golden dragon and the goddess's lackey suddenly came. I really couldn't fight them at the same time, so I had to escape." Rogge turned his head and said with difficulty. Because of the injury on his face, every time he spoke, he was a little leaky. Feel.
"This will cause trouble┉┉"
Croside took a deep breath and looked very distressed.
I originally thought it was just a very simple task, but I didn't expect that it would lead to a situation where the gods directly sent messengers to interfere with the main material plane. This kind of divine unfolding even made Closed feel a little embarrassed for a while. After being approached by his sister and semi-forced to cooperate, the reason why Croseid made the request to bring Elsa back was actually because he didn't really want the Black Dragon Clan to come to the Free City to join in, and let Rogge do it. The purpose of bringing Elsa back before Celatia was to sabotage the cooperation plan, or at worst to reduce the clan's rights in the free city on the grounds that Celatia failed to complete the task. It took him so much time to leave the clan alone and finally build everything he has today. How could Closide allow his father to step in so easily and take away everything from him again
Now I originally thought it was just a very simple task. At most, the only obstacle was Garrods, the captain of the guard. However, this situation made Closide feel like he was playing Whac-a-Mole but accidentally hit him. Like a giant dragon.
The half-elf female mage named Tenaya is actually a great mage with a twenty-level magic level, and she can also use magic to activate this extremely advanced spell at will. You must know that this kind of spell even has a lifespan. Longer elves and even giant dragons may not be able to master it.
"The staff of the commandment of life and death!? Can you turn the living into the dead at will?"
"Yes~ I heard that the captain of the guard called the staff this ┉┉"
Rogge soon talked about the battle between Tenaya and Garrods, especially the staff that the half-elf female mage took out. During the battle, the female mage can transform herself into different forms of undead creatures at will. And he can also use spells that could only be used by undead. For example, even high-level necromancers like Death Ripple can use it, and this may only show a small part of the power of this staff.
The commandments of life and death┉┉
Croside narrowed his eyes slightly. As a black dragon who was born after the Dragon War, he didn't know much about the situation in that war. He just knew that the Dragon War was an unimaginably tragic war. Even several gods Fall together. Let alone the power of this staff, the Commandment of Life and Death, it was able to survive that war and be passed down to this day. Especially in this era where even blacksmith masters have become extremely rare, this quasi-holy object level The staff is undoubtedly an unimaginably powerful weapon. It is understandable that the black dragon Garrodos insists on snatching this staff. If he had the chance, he would also like to get the staff and study it carefully.
Rogge didn't notice Croside's expression but was still talking to himself: "┉┉Even with the help of the staff, the half-elf was still no match for Garrods, but he didn't. To think that that bastard actually summoned an undead dragon! Damn it! After thousands of years, someone actually dares to come here and insult the dignity of our dragon."
No matter how self-righteous and rebellious he is, Rogge is still a part of the dragon. The dragon's arrogant self-esteem naturally regards other peoples in the world as ants, and now an ant dares to turn the dragon into such a blasphemy. creature. That's just like stimulating the nerve that controls anger.
In fact, Rogge was more angry because Tenaya's threat made him lose face. Elsa, who had originally obtained it for the first time, was forcefully taken away by the female mage, which then led to the subsequent disaster. Not only did Elsa fail to save her, but she almost died at the hands of the golden dragon.
"The undead dragon. I don't think she can transform a giant dragon by herself. In all likelihood, it was transformed by the maker of the wand."
Croseid's attitude is somewhat intriguing. Regarding the undead dragon, which can be said to be a slap in the face of all dragon clans, Croseid has a very cold look. Not only does he not have any anger, but it has nothing to do with his analysis. Gone somewhere else.
Rogge seemed to have noticed His Highness the Prince's attitude, but in this situation Rogge did not dare to say anything and continued to describe the next situation.
In order to cover up his mistake, Rogge directly said that the scandal of Tenaya using Elsa to blackmail was that Garrods was being blackmailed, and the female mage took this opportunity to escape. Closed didn't pay much attention to the next battle in the arsenal, but when he learned from Rogge that the Carlseman Empire actually produced demon knights and there were quite a lot of them, Closed was very surprised for a moment. .
The Demon Knight is a weapon born during the Dragon War. It was created by a dragon as an imaginary enemy. The original inventor was the White Dragon Clan of Yalin, the White Dragon King. Later, during the era of Overlord Garserik, the Demon Knight It has also appeared on the stage, but it has been lost after the end of the Overlord's era. For more than two thousand years, this terrible weapon has not been seen in the conflicts of various countries on the continent.
"If that's the case, Augusta National is really more dangerous than I thought, but this time Augusta National I'm afraid┉┉"
"Is there any problem? Your Highness!"
Closide waved his hand and said, "Nothing, just keep talking."
When it was finally told that the female mage had directly eliminated Garrods with a large-scale freezing spell, Croside became suspicious.
No matter how powerful the half-elf female mage is, she is just a mortal. In terms of magic power, it is estimated that no dragon other than the Blue Dragon King can kill a black dragon of the level of Garrods with a single spell. Tenaya's final explosion Power must not be something she possesses. Does this half-elf have other weapons left behind in the dragon war
And it’s a weapon powerful enough to kill a black dragon!
"Have you gone to investigate?" Closide's stern eyes fell on Rogge, as if he had seen through something.
Rogge shook his head and immediately shook his head: "Yes! Of course I am curious about the power that can kill the Black Dragon Guard Captain. I originally put Aisha down just to explore the source of this power, but I didn't expect that even Yi Xiu Taer was also alarmed."
Under Croside's gaze, it was impossible for Rogge to tell the stupid lie that he had not tried to covet this power. In fact, the dragon scale of the White Dragon King that caused all this, Rogge, had quietly hidden it in He went to a hidden place, but when he explained in the report to Croside that he wanted to explore that power, the goddess's envoy and the golden dragon descended. Then he was forced to flee in embarrassment. Both Elsa and the Ring of Life and Death Staff were thrown in the valley to take advantage of Ishtar's messenger, and the power that killed the Black Dragon Guard Captain, such as If it really existed, it must have been obtained by the goddess.
As far as Rogge's explanation is concerned, there is indeed no loophole on the surface. Facing such a powerful enemy, it is understandable that Rogge had to give up Elsa and escape. Moreover, the residual power left in Rogge's injuries is indeed It is the power of the holy flame unique to the golden dragon. The holy flame that softens the light element is exactly the opposite of the shadow flame that softens the dark element of the black dragon. They can be easily distinguished.
Although everything seemed fine on the surface, I just didn't know why a strange light flashed across Croside's eyes.
"That's it for the time being. During this period, you can rest in the station and recover from your injuries."
Closide closed his eyes and nodded, seeming to agree with Rogge's statement. Before leaving, he took out a bottle of black potion from his arms and threw it to Rogge: "This potion can neutralize the power of the Holy Flame. !”
After saying that, Croseid walked straight out. After waiting for Croseder to leave, Rogge secretly breathed a sigh of relief, opened the bottle cap and smelled it. Rogge then drank the potion in one gulp. (To be continued...)
