A cold wind entered the house, and Earl Brill saw the light of the candle suddenly become very dark.
"What's the matter?" He turned his head and looked at his old friend sitting aside—Ambnar, who was holding a bone staff and was in a gloomy state that disturbed him.
"Huh?" The Duke slowly opened his eyes, and a trace of dark red appeared in his blue-gray eyes. He lowered his head and silently looked at the skeletal staff in the black mist in his hand. The invisible force is suspended in mid-air as if lifted up. Count Brill frowned deeply and watched such a scene. He didn't like this thing. No master of this dark treasure in history would have no good end; he didn't like Madara's. Undead, this combat operation will bring considerable trouble to his territory. Although the Silver Queen will compensate accordingly afterwards, he is even more worried about his old friend. He feels that his old friend has become more difficult these days. Much gloomy.
But the earl understood that his old friend was a soldier, and he was just the lord of Oveshin, and there were certain things that he could not intervene.
The Duke of Ambnar suddenly stood up from his chair, turned and walked to the stone hole window. He left the dark staff in place, up and down—the stone hole window was half of Oveshin’s port. At this moment It was completely frozen, and his gaze crossed the city wall, and the dark place was the winding Silver Valley coast.
"What's the matter, old man?" The count felt that the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees. He couldn't help but asked. He saw that the fire in the fireplace had dimmed, and the raging flames turned into A tiny flame.
"Something went wrong," Duke Ambonar replied gloomily, "I felt that a bone stick suddenly couldn't be sensed."
Outside Oveshin city-
The undead army is standing still.
Under Brando's order, Crotte damaged the bone stick in his hand, and a black light shot from the damaged bone stick and plunged straight into Brando's chest. Brando knew that there was a lot of mess in his body. This black light seemed to have nothing to do with the dark orb described by Bai, so he didn't show any fuss. He just checked his state slightly, and sure enough. No abnormality was found.
In addition to the blood of the Dark God or the power of the Dark Orb, there should be the Soul of the Holy Sword Odyssey in his body. According to Sidney, it is the power of the Fire Orb, but these two powers exist at the same time. There is no sign of conflict in the body. In fact, in addition to the influence of the Dark God’s blood on the element pool of these two powers, Brando could not feel its existence at all, and the Soul of Odyspheus was the same. He had mobilized the latter until before. It was only when he entered the fragments of the Blade of Flame that its existence was sensed, but it was impossible to detect it at all in normal days, and even the influence on his fire element pool was not given.
As for why one can affect the element pool and the other cannot, Brando faintly felt that the difference between the two is that one has self-awareness, while the other does not have self-awareness-Odyssey is of Flame Blade Sword Soul, in "Amber Sword", the so-called Sword Soul is actually the alignment tendency of the Holy Sword under the influence of its owner and experience. Although it is not comparable to true wisdom, it at least has the ability to judge. The Dark Orb has been in a state of being divided into two for a long time. The part controlled by the Darkest Treasure is obviously a smaller part. As for the blood of the Dark God (another term for the power of the Dark Orb) that was injected into his body at the beginning ) Is even more sparse, and there is no possibility of self-judgment and awareness.
The power of the Dark Orb and the Fire Orb is obviously very unique. They are different from any kind of power that Brando knows. In Vaughan, most of the power and energy are displayed outside, and it will be tangibly improved. Your energy level—namely energy level (Oz), the changed external or internal strength of your body—three pillars of your body, strength, dexterity, physique or the three pillars of your soul, perception, will and blood, although the elemental orb is in history It has demonstrated powerful powers similar to miracles—such as the terrible lethality of the Flame Blade and Frost Singer, but you can’t feel their energy levels.
They are like a magical item without any energy, which sounds like a paradox in itself, because the so-called magical item in the world of Warnd is defined as an item containing a certain power or energy.
Not only the elemental orbs themselves are like this, but even the'power' contained in them seems to have such properties.
After the bone rod was damaged, Uta and others standing behind immediately noticed the changes in the surrounding skeleton soldiers—
The thousands of undead standing still on the snow-covered coast of Silver Valley, a turbulent ripple spreads around them. In an instant, the army of undead melted like ice and snow; it was the same moment, watching Ovey silently. Brando moved in Xin's direction, as if he felt something, and narrowed his eyes slightly.
He made a gesture to Tharu who was aside, and the young wizard immediately cast a spell, and a wave of water ripples rippled in the surrounding space, shielding the breath of the living.
A little farther away, some undead who smelled the breath of beings in the wind halted to a halt. The undead army was collapsing, scattered in twos and threes, like lonely ghosts wandering in the wilderness.
"My lord, I don't quite understand, why would it be better to destroy the bone rod and order these undead to attack the port? Although they are vulnerable, at least they can be used as cannon fodder, right?"
Tarou looked at this scene incomprehensibly.
Brando smiled slightly and shook his head.
Thousands of bone frames that have not been strengthened by the undead secret method are useless at all, and he does not need such a weak attack. He sneaked here only to confirm one thing, and now he has got the answer.
Oveshin Port is not a military fortress like Fattan Port. As an important commercial port in the North Sublime Inland Sea, after hundreds of years of development, the port size has long been different from what it used to be. Due to the expansion of the urban area, the merchants in the port We had already torn down the outer city wall-in the hinterland of the empire, the most stable area, and the garrison area of the White Legion, Oveshin had no use for these defensive facilities-for tax considerations, the city's ruler Brill The family chose to acquiesce in this behavior. With the expansion of the city, Oveshin gradually crossed the original boundary-the turquoise river, forming two urban areas on the east and west of the river. The piers are all on the east bank of the turquoise river, and the western district is the new city, with uniform workshops and handicraft workshops, as well as two markets.
It is worth mentioning that Oveshin’s later newly built Kongwei Fortress is also located in the North City. This fortress stands on the north bank of the turquoise river, like a silent and dark ghost among the many lights on the north bank.
At this moment, Brando is feeling a strong call coming from this fortress. There is no doubt that the dark treasure in the white mouth is located in this fortress. It really does not use its power. The counterfeit made has a certain ability to control, if so, then the Duke of Ambnar who mastered it must not be too far away.
He easily suppressed the bursts of impulse in his heart. For him, who had mastered nearly two-thirds or more of the power of the Dark Orb, the so-called'Treasure of Darkness' in the hands of Duke Ambnar was simply worthless. carry.
The other party should have discovered his existence.
But it was too late.
Brando took out a gem-like thing from his arms. This'jewel' was dull and crescent-shaped, like some kind of feldspar, or obsidian. He only took a look at this thing, and then Throw it forward. The gem drew a flat arc and fell on the beach, but at the moment there was no gravel on the beach on the coast of Silver Valley. There was only a thick layer of snow. The gem fell deeply into the snow. Go down.
Above the head—
The sky was pitch black, and the twelve-round moon was dim.
In just a few hours, the outer sea of the lofty inner sea seemed to completely change its appearance. The sea surface flashed and thundered, and the intertwined electric light reflected a hideous scene. The entire sea surface seemed to be boiling, instantly rolling up hundreds of feet like The mountain-shaped waves are surging down again, one after another, like moving mountains, or giant beasts fighting each other.
Far in the sky, the glaciers froze the coast, and the ice sheet stretched into the depths of the sea. Huge icebergs were suspended on the violent sea, cracked and frozen, and then disappeared into the depths of darkness. The whole sky and earth were covered with a pouring rain curtain. The rain line hanging from the sky blurred the boundary between the sea and the sky, blurring the whole world together, forming an airtight water world.
However, a silver fleet passed through the rain.
On the "Broken Wave", the on-duty wizard Talman looked at what was happening on the sea with some anxiety. Mortals often think that wizards are omnipotent, and there is nothing that can surprise or fear them, but this is often not the case. Thalman is 21 years old this year. Before he became a wizard, he was actually the son of a farmer in Tonigel. He was fortunate to have learned a few words from a wandering wizard. Therefore, he was regarded by the first batch of students of Shire and became The third batch of students in the Shire Wizard Tower. He is very smart and learns very quickly. He became an apprentice wizard a month ago, and was later selected by the Buga (it is really a dwarf to pull the son out of it) to become the "Wizard". One of the official wizards on the newly built escort cruiser.
Although he was named as an official wizard, in fact Thalman was still a half-skilled apprentice, and he had not learned much, far inferior to those who were truly orthodox apprentices—the training of tower wizards. An apprentice usually takes five years. Although the apprenticeship period of Bougainvillea wizards is short, it usually takes ten years or more before they formally come into contact with magic—that is, they have been exposed to the basics of magic from birth— Therefore, although Thielman had a preliminary understanding of the world of magic, he was still far from contacting the real side of the world.
What is the world
It is an unsolved problem for many knowledgeable wizards, not to mention the trainee wizard who has not yet separated from the identity of the farmer's son.
He looked at this scene with some trepidation, as if he saw the end of the world. In fact, this is not his own thought at the moment. On the entire ship, or even the entire fleet, there are many people who hold his thoughts. Everything that has happened has surpassed the empire's civil war or even the scope of jihad as they know it. At this moment, many people have a different kind of speculation in their hearts.
Perhaps this time the Four Great Temples are really going to be in trouble.
They didn’t know that this guess was extremely accurate, and the consequences were far beyond their imagination, but the militarized management and training that the Bugans temporarily required before the formation of the fleet finally took effect, making Thielman not. With the mentality of escaping, he at least remembered what kind of responsibilities he was currently shouldering, and what kind of responsibilities the Breaking Wave shoulders as the vanguard of the fleet.
Suddenly, Tellman saw the crystal ball in front of him lit up, and it flickered slightly. When he saw the text that appeared on the crystal ball, he jumped up from the chair with a start, even on his feet. One of the boots was stepped off, but he didn't even bother to pick it up, but immediately rushed out of the room with one foot bare.
Behind the young wizard, a small row of numbers on the crystal ball was shining.
X—3321; Y—4211; Z—0311.
…
Scrubbing, scrubbing, the snow in the dark echoed with a low and uniform footsteps. This rustling sound has been sounding for a long time before finally stopping. Outside the city of Fattan Harbor is the easy-to-defend and hard-to-attack sea cliff mountain road. At one end of the mountain road is an inward valley. In a fine weather, looking at the valley from the wall of the fortress outside the port, you can often see several miles away. , But at this moment, only darkness can be seen.
But if you look closely, you can see faintly flickering light spots in the dark.
In Eruin, the veterans of Buchi and Karasu can jump up in shock at a glance, recognizing that it is the unique light of the soul fire when the undead army is marching, but at this moment, the strength of the troops stationed in the fortress is nothing more than Under the command of the port guard of Baron Ludwig, these soldiers, not to mention the undead, have never seen them even if they are bandits.
Death seemed to be approaching silently.
Thok coldly watched the progress of the undead army in the snow. With a faint reflection, he could see that the undead of the group was approaching under the fortress wall on the sea cliff path, and the corpse witch had been arranged in front. There are two rows of skeleton archers, and Fattan Harbor still has no response. Presumably those guys think it is impossible to be attacked under such bad weather.
What's more, this eclipse was originally'accidental' for them.
Thinking of the solar eclipse, there was a haze in Sock's heart. If even a solar eclipse can be created artificially, the future may not be as stable as imagined. Moreover, the current weather is not as simple as a solar eclipse. . When I think of the various signs that have happened in the empire recently, it seems that none of them is a good sign.
The troubled times have come-
Such an idea arose in his mind for no reason.
