"Have you really done everything you can do?"
A voice suddenly sounded in Goron's mind. Before he could think about it, the voice followed closely and said: "Also, are you really willing to give everything you have to protect your family? Including... some things you may Something you’re not willing to pay for.”
Goron was confused, not because he had no clue about the voice. Although the Succubus Queen's voice had not bothered him for a long time, Goron still would not forget it. What confused Goron was the temptation of the Succubus Queen. Yes... it was the temptation from... the devil that we often hear in stories.
Is Ai Xi that important to him? Gronn didn't know that this kid was just a subordinate he hadn't interacted with for a few days. He wasn't even an ogre. Is treating him as a family member just a spur of the moment impulse? Or is it really the emotion from his heart
No one knows the consequences of dealing with demons better than Goron, but similarly, Goron also knows how powerful this race is, which is comparable to dragons and Titans, and even dares to challenge the gods of heaven. However, it is even more terrifying. It is still the despicable and deadly, but extremely sweet language trap of the demon clan.
For some special reasons, the demons' attitude towards Goron suddenly changed and even became a little strange. However, in countless heroic stories, the demons can always come up with all kinds of incredible sweet words and use various tricks to seduce them. The heroes and sages fell. Countless heroes with both wisdom and courage have used their tragic experiences to prove the cunning and pervasiveness of the demons. Therefore, in the process of dealing with these demons, Gronn has only believed in one principle. That is to follow the bottom line of never selling one's soul, although... what is the use of the soul? Why do demons try every possible means to defraud other people's souls, and what are the consequences if humans sell their souls? Goron didn't know anything about these. He only learned from the stories that the consequences would be very serious, and it couldn't be more serious. As for what would happen specifically, every story ended abruptly after the hero and wise man fell and lost his soul. Goron, the ogre, doesn’t know the story.
Curiosity is one of the natural emotions that Gronn can never suppress. He is a hybrid of humans and ogres, except for common sense. Some of the innate personality traits are also very intense, and they also inherit the madness of humans and the stubbornness of the ogre family.
Since Gron couldn't suppress his emotions, he could only let nature take its course. Even if he really sells his soul, it will be after his death. If he can really realize any wish with the help of the devil's power and defeat the invincible opponent... Can Gron still have any dissatisfaction? As for knowing things that are not recorded in the story later, that would be an extra surprise.
With an inexplicable relaxation in his heart, Gron finally said those words easily...
"I am willing... I am willing to give everything I have... even my soul for my family."
"...Soul? I...I don't think that's what I meant...Forget it, let's leave it at that..."
The voice of the Succubus Queen gradually faded away in Goron's mind. This process sounds long, but in fact it only takes a short moment. After this moment, there are many more things in Goron's mind. It was not pure power, nor was it like some forbidden spell or secret words, but more like some formulas. Some rules and stuff.
How vast and profound these contents are, how much of them can Gronn figure out in a short time. But luckily it was the part that was directly related to him, the one he was most familiar with. Gronn still grasped a little bit of it in an instant... Although it was just a bit of it, it was a bit of the basic laws of the plane.
The operation and control of these four natural elements, earth, fire, water, and wind, is the shaman's favorite field. Coupled with the exploration and understanding of the soul realm, the shaman has become a near-omnipotent melee and long-range healing assistant. It is a powerful combat profession that can adapt to various fields. However, because it is close to omnipotence, it cannot be proficient in all fields. This is why shamans rarely have true powerhouses in this long history.
However, at this moment, Goron was very glad that he was a shaman, because if he lacked any ability at this time, it would be difficult for him to do what he wanted to do.
A faint blue electric light condensed on the palm of Goron's hand. This was the preparation for the shaman's main attack magic "Lightning Arrow". However, Goron's power was not released and accumulated in his hand, just like wearing a ball on his palm. A pair of electro-optical gloves.
Under the stimulation of this current, little Ash's stiff heart finally began to beat slowly. Although the first few beats were just twitches caused by the stimulation of electric shocks, as fresh blood was pumped to all parts of the body, this dead body seemed to be re-infused with new life.
"Lightning Arrow" is undoubtedly an attack spell, but a skill that usually can only cause damage to the opponent can actually make the dead come to life like the "Great Resurrection", a forbidden method of the gods. Although there is still a difference, the legendary great resurrection technique can even resurrect a corpse that has been dead for a long time with only partial remains. That is a true "resurrection", but strictly speaking, Ashe cannot be considered a true resurrection. of dead people.
However, this incredible scene was a bit shocking in the eyes of some people. The coachman could not see anything at all. He only thought that Ashe was not completely dead, and that the two expensive magic missile heads were what saved this humble man. The key to children.
But this cannot be concealed from the eyes of Dragon Rider General Rhine. Ashe has indeed lost her life just now, and is a "corpse" in the true sense. And being able to resurrect a "corpse" is the foundation of the Holy Light's Holy See's foothold on the mainland. It is a miracle that the Holy See has always promoted as being exclusive to the "Lord of Holy Light". It is the highest divine magic that only the most outstanding Supreme Pontiff of the Holy See has a chance of success.
That's right... It's just that there is only a chance of successful execution, and this chance is even pitifully low. Whether it is because he has lost the ability to perform the supreme magic, or because he is afraid of the counter-effects if the technique fails, the recent supreme popes have no longer publicly performed this kind of miracle that can drive believers crazy.
"Oh my god... I originally thought this was another boring and troublesome errand. Mother Ysera has never given me any good errands before, I really didn't expect it. This time it will be a stroke of luck. . I think even Mistress Ysela herself doesn’t know that the person she asked me to find is such an interesting person. However, it’s better for me not to tell too many people about such an interesting thing. …”
***************************
A mere coachman, even a coachman from the top wealthy family Basilon, would not be more valuable than a dog in the eyes of some people. When General Rhine slapped away the idiot who was trying to block the road, and then reported After revealing his long and full name, the poor coachman immediately ran away with a sad face. But with his master's temper, this poor guy can just order a coffin for himself when he goes back.
After Goron continuously used the intermediate shamanic healing wave without hiding anything, little Ash's body recovered pretty well, but she still had to lie in bed for a few days. After all, what Goron used was not a real one. Some of the hidden injuries caused by the resurrection spell to the body cannot be cured by the intermediate treatment wave. After Xiao Ai Xi woke up, he hinted that Goron would be met by the response staff sent by Black City soon, so Goron didn't need to worry. It's just that Goron can't wait any longer. Although the Dragon Rider General Rhine no longer looks at him like he is looking at garbage from above, he will not let Goron alone for a moment. And has been urging Goron to leave as soon as possible.
Fortunately, Chopper was able to follow Goron very easily. Rhine was not much less interested in him than Goron, and he had this brother of the same race by his side. Even though Gronn doesn't rely much on his combat power, and in some cases this big guy will become a burden to him. In this treacherous and unpredictable environment, it's troublesome to have this foodie around. On the contrary, it will make Goron feel more at ease.
No carriages, no servants. Gron, Rhine. And the big guy Chopper walked to the famous "Dragon Castle". Fortunately, this road did not pass through civilian areas, and it was a bit late, so it didn't seem to cause any sensation. Of course, it would definitely not escape the eyes of some interested people.
"Is Retusus looking for me, or is his wife... the legendary dragon princess looking for me?" This was the doubt in Goron's heart. Seeing that he was about to reach his destination, he finally couldn't help but put this doubt aside. Asked. He also took the opportunity to relieve his nervousness. After all, the two people he was going to see soon, whether it was Retusus or his dragon wife, were the two protagonists of the stories that Goron had heard since he was a child.
"It's our troublesome mistress, the dragon princess you call... Ysera." Rhine responded nonchalantly in a long tone, but Goron couldn't hear much respect from his tone, and even A little disdain. This made him a little confused. Even if Goron grew up in the ogre tribe, he also knew that Ysera's true identity was not trivial, whether it was her status as the wife of Retusus, the iron wall of the empire, or the true identity of the seventh-level emerald dragon princess. Everyone should be respected by others... or feared by others. But no matter what, it shouldn't be like this now, with names being spoken with contempt and helplessness.
Rhine did not answer any of Goron's questions. Under his leadership, Goron finally entered the legendary Dragon Castle.
It was unexpectedly deserted here. The entire castle was made of ancient boulder structures, filled with an aura of solidity and desolation, as well as a hint of coldness. No maids could be seen moving around, and the entire castle looked eerily empty. Even Baron Kulahan's mansion looked much better than it did here because of Ashe's care.
"I will help you arrange this ogre, so you don't have to worry about it." Rhine said as he planned to leave with Chopper. Chopper was very honest along the way because of Goron's order. At this time, he was looking at Goron pitifully. Gronn could also see Rhine's interest in Chopper, and knew that he would not hurt Chopper in a short time. In addition, this guy was terrifyingly powerful, so he could only nod helplessly, and then asked: "But Where is she who is looking for me now?" (To be continued...)
