“Everything you see in front of you, all the ends of your field of vision, all belong to the kingdom of nations, the king of kings, the great supreme being at the pinnacle of all power and wealth, and it belongs to His Majesty Darius Stantra. And this great city, an eternal wonder standing in the desert, is Jerusalem, the capital of our Golden Sun Dynasty.”
The cat girl Hannah standing next to Goron said in an passionate tone, but for some reason, Goron always felt that her tone was a bit too formulaic, and there was even a hint of disdain and ridicule hidden in it.
The cat girl Hannah introduced Goron to the historical origins and customs of the city of Jerusalem, while leading him to fly to the palace of Desert King Xerxes. Goron was not silent along the way. He kept testing the cat girl Hannah with words, trying to get as much information as possible. Countless ideas and strategies surged in his mind, and were rejected by Goron one by one.
The Desert King's private palace is a magnificent building that occupies an extremely large area. It is actually located on an island in the lake in the center of the city. The shape is resplendent and extremely luxurious, just like a trace of beauty on a giant blue gem. The outer wall of the castle has not been modified in any way, and its ruddy jade-like texture is exposed. It is already at the level of real jade, but it looks a bit wasteful. It can be seen that this palace is not only the most comfortable place to live, but also the most comfortable place to live. A war fortress, the solemn and thrilling crimson color of the outer wall combines strength and beauty. Large offensive and defensive magic arrays are also arranged in the four corners of the palace. But based on the location of this palace, when it needs to be immersed in the flames of war, I am afraid that the entire Golden Sun Dynasty will have fallen. Seeing this kind of unabashed extravagance, simply using golden coins as plaster and tiles, Gronn was originally one of the few ogres who could understand the concept of money. After becoming the boss behind the scenes of Black City, He also regards money as a powerful weapon. At this time, seeing this kind of extravagance and waste that is better than the empire, he can only lament and describe it as "rich and willful" and "relentless".
The Desert King did not keep Goron waiting for long, but he formally received the boss behind the Black City in a very embarrassing occasion. When Goron walked into the luxurious bathroom like a swimming pool, led by dozens of gorgeous desert dancers wearing only gauze, his heart almost collapsed...
Although the Desert King lifted the "curse of blindness" for Goron, Goron now hoped that it would be better if he could still see nothing. At least he no longer had to worry about whether to focus his eyes on the Desert King, who was already soaking most of his body in warm water and waiting for him with a smile.
But please don’t get me wrong, it’s not because the Desert King’s noble body is so unsightly. On the contrary, after all, the Desert King Xerxes is a Valkyrie who once galloped on the battlefield. Although her figure is completely out of shape, she still has a different kind of charm. . I don’t know if she also has the blood inheritance of the giant family. Even if the Desert King is sitting down in the water, she is much taller than Goron. Visually, her upright height is at least seven meters, which is actually higher than the ogre. The average height of the clan is much higher, they are simply a brown mountain of meat. Due to proper maintenance, Xerxes' skin was as smooth as jade. When he sat in the water, the luster reflected by his skin was even more gorgeous than the surface of the water. If you look at her not as a woman but as a spectacle, to be honest, she is quite interesting.
What really made Goron feel uncomfortable was the strange gaze of the Desert King that seemed to see through his own soul. At this time, Goron already knew that this woman was a peak expert in curse magic. As far as he knew, the gaze with the curse master was An extremely dangerous thing, there are several powerful curses that are accomplished by looking at each other. With his previous experience of blindness, Gronn had no confidence that he could resist the magic from the Desert King. However, out of politeness and etiquette, Goron could not look away.
"Boy, do you know the specific contents of the transaction between me and Black City?"
"I didn't know it before, but those cannons are indeed one of the main products of my black city." Goron told the truth. Facing this battlefield goddess, any lies will only bring negative effects.
"Yes, you are very honest. Although I am curious about how a big boss like you who doesn't care about anything can gain the loyalty of his subordinates, but this has nothing to do with me. What I am really interested in is whether you I have enough rights. There are several products in your Black City that I am very interested in, but they are not for sale. I just want to know if you can let me get them."
"Is it to deal with those Anubis troops?" Gronn had gradually adapted to the pressure of the Desert King's aura. He looked directly at the Desert King and asked.
"You actually know the real names of those kobolds?" The Desert King was really surprised this time, but she immediately reacted and said with a smile: "Oh, I almost forgot, the Black City is not only the largest Arms dealer, he is also one of the top intelligence dealers in the mainland. Although I was not very interested in your business before. After all, I trust my group of brats more, but now it seems that I still underestimate you. "
Gronn smiled and said nothing. Naturally, he would not be stupid enough to say that this information actually came from the notorious secret magic society Crystal Lake. Although there is no way to lie in front of the Desert King, there is no problem in acquiescing.
"I admit, those dog-headed monsters really gave me a headache. More than a month ago, they appeared out of nowhere, burning, killing and looting everywhere. Their number seemed endless. They killed ten thousand and came out with another hundred thousand. Our 'invincible' 'Royal Legion' was defeated, and the great His Majesty Darius Stantra had to 'invite' me out again, and then the situation was controlled from further deterioration, but to be honest, There is simply no way to kill all those little brats. My little devils are already very tired. Even if they can continue to win, they will still be exhausted one day. And those secret weapons sold by you in the black city can just do it for us. I solved a lot of problems.”
Gronn sensitively captured the words 'invincible', 'royal legion' and 'please'. Combined with the tone of the cat girl Hannah when she introduced the imperial capital, Gronn vaguely felt that the desert king was different from that one. There may be some unscrupulous sordidness in the relationship between His Majesty Darius, the true ruler of the Millennium Dynasty. But in comparison, Goron was more curious about the origins of those kobolds. Ever since he entered the Tower of Babel, he seemed to have often encountered these magical creatures.
"I believe that with the wisdom of His Royal Highness the Desert King, he must already have some understanding of those Anubis troops."
Faced with this flattery, the Desert King glanced slightly at the corner of his mouth, but just replied: "I do know something. There are many clues that point this attack to the Seven Towers Alliance."
"Seven Towers Alliance!" Goron was surprised, but immediately felt that this answer was indeed reasonable. If Crystal Lake is the supreme place of magic in the dark world, then the Seven Towers Alliance of the Magic Kingdom, which was established entirely by magicians, is obviously the authoritative representative of the magic world.
But…
"I remember, isn't the relationship between the Seven Towers Alliance and your country very good?" The magician who was initially persecuted and expelled by the empire and the Holy See was able to successfully establish his own country with the secret assistance of the Golden Sun Dynasty. , this matter is not a secret at all.
"Yes, I am actually very curious about this matter, but evidence is evidence. Even if I myself studied in the Seven Towers Alliance, and my teacher was one of the 'Seven Divine Magisters' of the previous generation, I cannot Let’s make judgments based on personal feelings, not to mention that the Seven Towers Alliance is essentially a country. Since it is a country, it cannot avoid the filth and darkness of politics.”
When it comes to politics, Gron is just a layman, not to mention that this obviously involves the high-level secrets of the Sun Dynasty, and it is inconvenient for him to pursue further questions. The Desert King didn't seem to intend to continue this topic. She changed her tone and suddenly said: "Let's get down to business. I want to order the war machine that your Black City is secretly manufacturing for the Kuxiong Principality. Three or four units, of course the price is easy to say.”
Gronn frowned and remained silent. As for the "Hundred-Handed Giant", Cassandra had mentioned it to him last time. It was the highest achievement of the dwarf alchemist Vegapunk Black Wine Barrel. Although the ultimate product of the combination of steam and machinery cannot be compared with the "curator" that Goron saw in the Ark of Life, on the Dota Continent, it is definitely the ultimate weapon that can lead a war.
To put it simply, it is a super gunship loaded with thousands of ultra-large-caliber magic cannons that can travel on land on steel tracks. Even if there is only one hundred-armed giant, it can face a fully armed war fortress without falling behind. Just by moving, it can crush thousands of troops. Even a seventh-level dragon cannot resist the attack of thousands of guns. boom.
The emergence of the Hundred-Handed Giant can completely rewrite the war pattern of the Dota Continent. In front of it, traditional knights and chariots are as small and fragile as toys. It can be said that it was secretly built by the Kuxiong Principality to fight against Retusus and his dragons. The ultimate weapon of the cavalry regiment. If Kuxiong Principality was not currently in a full-scale war, and all military factories were under strict surveillance and intensive harassment and destruction by the empire, Kuxiong would not have entrusted the construction of the "Hundred-Handed Giant" to Black City. But this matter is a first-level secret for the empire. There are no more than five people in the entire Black City who know about it. However, the Desert King can know this name. It is obviously not because her intelligence system is far superior to the Black City and the empire. It's because someone in the top management of Black City leaked the secret.
Seeing Goron's face, the Desert King finally fully confirmed Goron's status in the Black City. It was not easy for her to get this information, and she knew how confidential it was. If Gron does not have real power and status in the Black City, he must know nothing about this matter. Whether he really doesn't know or pretends to know, he can't hide it from the eyes of the Desert King. Only this reaction is the most normal.
"There is only one order for the 'Hundred-Handed Giant' in Black City, and it is a special order for the Kuxiong Principality..." Before Goron finished speaking, he was interrupted by the Desert King with a sneer: "Don't fool me with these crown words. , I don’t believe that your Black City will only build one ship if you get Kuxiong’s design drawings.”
Regarding the Desert King's words, Goron neither admitted nor denied them. He went on to say: "But the power core of the Hundred-Handed Giant, the 'Earth Furnace' as the battleship engine, is in the hands of the Cool Bear. Without the Earth Furnace, the Hundred-Handed Giant has no Earth Furnace." The Hand Giant is just a war fortress with a special shape."
The Desert King didn't speak this time, he just looked at Gron and sneered. Goron smiled bitterly. Cassandra had indeed told him that she had secretly obtained some of the design drawings of the earth furnace through special channels, and the goblin engineers belonging to Black City were studying and improving them day and night. He has cut off contact with Black City for some time, but counting the time, even if Black City cannot imitate it perfectly, it should not be difficult to create some versions with degraded performance. After all, the foundation of Black City is to build the dwarf alchemist master Bei. The war weapons designed by Jiapunk are not even as good as the Kuxiong Principality's own arsenal in this regard. Otherwise, they would not have become more and more dependent on the arms cooperation with Black City, and the Black City Guild secretly took these weapons for themselves. Yes, other countries also pretend to turn a blind eye.
"To tell you the truth, my current contact with Black City is interrupted and I don't have the latest information at hand. If I can..."
The Desert King waved his hand again to interrupt Goron. She clapped her palms together and saw a group of desert dancers walking over surrounded by a person. When she saw the person clearly, the murderous aura on Goron exploded like gunpowder. The Desert King's eyes suddenly widened, her bloated fingers stood up, and a ball of dead black mist instantly condensed on it. The fur of the cat girls responsible for guarding immediately stood up, and they jumped back like frightened cats. , lying on the ground on all fours, looking with horror at the beautiful young man who looked submissive and weak just a moment ago.
The reason that made Goron explode with anger was the man brought up by the Desert King's subordinates. He was also a young man, but his eyes were gouged out, and his mouth was forced open by a brace. You can see the weak and squirming pink Colorful tongue. His whole body was placed in a transparent crystal vase. He had lost all his limbs, limbs, and only a section of his torso was soaked in a light green solution.
"Ashe..." Goron muttered the name of that miserable young man in his mouth. It was the young servant who had served him in the imperial capital of Montenegro. The man who was willing to give up his life for Goron, was forcibly saved by Goron at all costs. A living little boy.
Hearing Goron's call, the eyeless boy suddenly trembled all over. He looked at Goron with his empty eyes, and two lines of liquid, whether it was blood or tears, rolled down his face.
The little ogre who was touched by the reverse scale again had no trace of reason in his mind. At some point, a mask appeared on his face. Gronn's body grew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye he turned into a man with a height of fifteen meters. A pale fire-haired giant. Fortunately, the bathroom dedicated to the Desert King was unreasonably spacious, so it was not burst by the little ogre who turned into a giant.
The Man-Eating King Kong raised his head to the sky and let out a roar. He waved his hand, and four totem poles with the power of "earth", "fire", "water" and "wind" burning at the top rose up from the ground, lifting the crystal holding Ai Xi's body. Vases surround the center. After using his last sanity to protect Ashe, Gronn no longer exercised any restraint and unleashed all his rage. In an instant, hundreds of ghost giant wolves rushed out of the void, biting all living creatures around them crazily. Those desert dancers Ji was torn into pieces in an instant, and the originally blue water was dyed blood red in an instant.
"Protect Your Highness!" Hannah, the leader of the cat lady, screamed, and her whole body instantly turned into a ball of black wind and rushed towards the man-eating King Kong. The other sand cat warriors could not slow down much, and they saw sparks flying from Gron's body. Shoot, that was the spark generated by the friction between the Damascus scimitar in the cat girl's hand and Goron's metalized skin. In the blink of an eye, the man-eating King Kong had been beheaded by thousands of knives.
However, that's all. The desert scimitar, which is enough to cut the heavy armored infantry in two, can only leave shallow white marks on the body of the Man-Eating King Kong. Even the leader Hannah can barely make the Man-Eating King Kong skin. Just broken blood flow.
However, the speed of these sand cat warriors is so fast that even Gronn cannot master them. However, Man-Eating King Kong does not only have physical attacks. The seven magical powers from another world can theoretically deal with any situation.
I saw the Man-Eating King Kong suddenly opening his mouth and sucking, and the blood-stained pool water at the feet of everyone was actually sucked into his belly by his mouth.
The fifth magical power…
After this blood is sucked into the belly of the Man-Eating King Kong, it will be impregnated with the beautiful snake's terrible erysipelas in the body. The next moment when Gron spits out the poisonous water again, it will turn the entire place into ten thousand poisons. Hell, no matter how fast those sand cat warriors are, they will not be able to escape the poisonous rain and mist that fills the sky.
However, the Desert King is known as the Valkyrie of the battlefield, a super war god who even surpasses Retusus in strategy and tactics. Naturally, she has an extremely precise grasp of fighter opportunities. She unleashes her curse magic that is ready to go. Just watch. With his cheeks bulging, Goron's body, which was preparing to spit poisonous water, instantly stopped, and then was covered with a layer of gray-white at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Petrifying Curse - Eye of Medusa!" is the most powerful forbidden spell in curse magic. There are many super-level monsters and legendary heroes in myths and legends, and even the gods were defeated by this curse magic.
However, there was not much joy on the face of the Desert King who succeeded in the attack. To be honest, the situation was out of her control. She had known that the beautiful boy in front of her was not simple, but she did not expect that he could burst out with such terrifying destructive power. She was forced to use the ultimate move of petrification curse. But her purpose is not to kill Goron...
"This brat didn't even listen to what was said. It will be very troublesome to lift the petrification curse later." Although she was complaining, when she looked at the giant who turned into stone, she felt joy and joy in it. Far beyond anger and resentment. And at this moment, something even more "surprising" happened to her...
The man-eating King Kong, which had been turned into a stone statue, suddenly lit up with a blue light on its chest. The light was full of sacredness and solemnity, making people have the urge to bow down and worship. Then the light quickly condensed and turned into an angry line. The giant dragon only heard a dragon roar, and everyone suddenly had an illusion, as if time suddenly went back a few seconds, and everything that happened at this moment seemed like a fait accompli that had already happened, and also seemed like it had never happened. It was a dream, but before they could recover from the chaotic jet lag, an incredible scene happened. The grayish-white color on the giant who had turned into a stone statue quickly faded, just as suddenly as it appeared at that time.
In just the blink of an eye, the Man-Eating King Kong had already de-petrified himself. A faint blue dragon tattoo was gradually disappearing on his chest. When the tattoo completely disappeared, the Man-Eating King Kong became intact again.
"Time flows back! This is... This is the power of the law of time! How is it possible!" The wonder in her heart did not affect the Desert King's spellcasting. Her fingers shook, and another more powerful single curse "aging" quickly completed the magic construction. .
How could Goron, who had already suffered a loss, let her complete the second casting? The predicament just now unexpectedly awakened the eternal blue dragon girl sleeping in her body for a moment. Although the crisis was successfully resolved, Bluetooth seemed to He exhausted his stored magic power and fell into deep sleep again.
Without enough time to activate his magical power or shamanic magic, the Man-Eating King Kong rushed directly towards the Desert King, trying to crush him with brute force. Facing the rushing man-eating King Kong, the super fat girl who had already stood up was not afraid and directly raised her hands to meet him. The ten fingers of her hands were interlocked with the ten fingers of Gron. The two looked at each other. The two sides started the simplest and most direct way. , is also the most primitive and brutal wrestling. They all want to overwhelm each other.
Although the Man-Eating King Kong is more than twice as tall as his opponent, he does not have the slightest advantage in terms of weight. In terms of pure strength, the two sides are evenly matched. This was the first time he encountered a situation like this after Gronn had the ability to transform into a man-eating King Kong. However, the one who was even more shocked than Goron was the Desert King. With the blood of the ancient Titan awakened in her body, she encountered an opponent who could compete with her for the first time besides Retusus.
The Desert King's lips moved quickly. Although her fingers were restricted, who stipulated that she could only use gestures to cast spells. Seeing that the curse of the Desert King was about to be completed, Goron felt cruel and opened his mouth directly on the big mouth that was close at hand. However, there was no romance or tenderness in this kiss, only cruelty and viciousness.
A large amount of poisonous water was spat directly into the opponent's mouth by the Man-Eating King Kong, and the Desert King was not to be outdone, injecting the unfinished but still dangerous and deadly curse power into Gronn's body.
The kiss didn't last long, and soon the two parties separated again, each staggering back. Both parties were obviously having a hard time. Five-colored smoke rose up from Man-Eating King Kong's body. These magical smoke formed various complex runes on his body from time to time, but they were extremely unstable. It was unknown what weird things they would eventually combine into.
The Desert King was even more interesting. However, Goron's erysipelas water, which was able to melt the skin and bones of his opponent before, only had this effect. Only the Desert King could do this.
Goron struggled and was about to go up again when he suddenly heard a loud shout from behind: "Stop, or I will kill him!"
The Man-Eating King Kong looked back and saw Cat Girl Hannah's machete at Ash's neck. As long as she waved her arm, Ash would be decapitated. Although the totem barrier that Gronn laid out before can resist a wide range of damage, it cannot stop the top dark walker. Although Gronn once recaptured Ashe from the hands of the god of death, he was unable to make the real dead Resurrection from the dead.
Just when Goron was hesitating and struggling in anger, the Desert King's voice sounded again: "Can you finally listen to what I have to say? I didn't make this person like this. To be more precise, I am actually his savior. .”(~^~)
