not long ago.
Two people stood on the desolate snow field.
"So, you are the magician who rescued Alaya and Hilo back then. Felita also got a part of your inheritance. Speaking of which, I should thank you."
Lied shook hands with Merlin, first expressed his gratitude in the heart, and then immediately started poaching:
"So come to Yuxi City?"
Merlin shook his head and said with a smile:
"No, no. The young lady of our family is still at an age full of enthusiasm for adventure. At least for a few years, I have to follow her around the world."
"That's it."
Lide didn't have too many regrets, and asked straightforwardly:
"Then let's get to the point, what are you doing here? Or... what is your avatar doing here?"
Merlin raised his head, thought for a while and replied:
"Well, I don't know too well. At the beginning, the avatar was released with the mentality of 'such a big thing, why don't I join in the fun', but after I came, I realized that things were a little bit beyond my expectations. I In Lingwu, I encountered the chaos of the Abyss Church, and investigated it a little bit; after coming to the giant tribe, I saw some low-level giants exploded and died. Now I am wandering around, wanting to see what happened."
Lide nodded, found a piece of bluestone to sweep away the snow on it, sat down cross-legged, and said:
"In this case, let's exchange information first."
Merlin put the staff horizontally in the air, and the staff naturally floated. He sat on his staff like a witch on a broomstick.
Lied told Merlin about Kungu's resurrection plan, and Huangyan's importance in this game as the son of hate. Merlin provided the recent situation of the Lingwu Territory after Lide left, including the collective activities of members of the Church of the Abyss, including the occurrence of a large number of sacrifices, as well as the Sun Guard and Hidden Guard. Feel.
Both fell silent for a while.
Merlin spoke first:
"It seems that Lord Lingwu probably wants more than the extinction of the giant race. She wants something more, and that thing is probably related to the resurrection of Kleiners, the pillar of eternal life."
He paused and continued:
"However... that's for the future. There are two main battlefields now, one is the ambush of the giants, and the other is the catastrophe of Huangyan. If the giants win this war, they will go all the way south, gone The lord's Lingwu Territory can't withstand their attacks at all. And if Huangyan can't withstand the catastrophe, Kleinus will be resurrected. Considering its relationship with the old gods, I don't think Kleinus will stand Human side."
Li De raised his head, on his left was the faintly flickering Baili Leiguang, and on his right was the red beam of light for the Lingwu warning.
The little slime shivered from the cold on his shoulder, and finally had to crawl into his arms. But now the little slime looks like a small one, even if it gets into Lid's arms, it won't show the bulging bumps it used to have.
Lied was silent for a while, and said to Merlin:
"Don't worry too much about the giant's ambush. I don't think there will be any major problems. Since that woman still has the strength to assassinate me, it shows that she is very confident in her combat power."
Merlin frowned slightly, hesitatingly said:
"But with that little army..."
Liede said to him bluntly:
"Galberd is probably going to die. He is just a sword brought by the Lord of Lingwu. Regardless of whether the plan goes well or not, he will die. Even if there is no ambush and the original plan goes smoothly, when the Lingwu army takes over When the power is concentrated on Garberd, I also don't think his body can handle it."
Merlin raised his eyebrows and asked:
"Then do you think he can kill the well-prepared Jin Yao giant?"
Lied nodded:
"It can be killed. At worst, it will be like Qingyun."
Merlin immediately stopped talking.
After a while he shook his head and sighed:
"I don't know who set the upper limit of ten weights. It's like drawing a red line. Anyone who crosses the line will definitely die... Although for me, ten weights is enough to protect the safety of the eldest lady, but every time I see Some people risk their lives to go to a higher place to see, and I will be sad."
Lid put his hands in his sleeves, thought for a while, and said to Merlin:
"Human beings can't cross the tenth realm. In my opinion, there are three most likely factors. One is physical strength, the other is the Great Array of Protecting the Nation, and the third is the rumored Tenth Level of Thunder Tribulation. Judging from the results See, human beings can overcome the ten hurdles only when the Great Array of Protecting the Nation is not in effect, whether it is Qingyun or Garberd. If there is a chance, I can go to the capital to study the Great Array of Protecting the Nation. , It's a pity that there should be no such opportunity in a short time."
Lide didn't seem to intend to get entangled in this issue, after all, in his eyes, it wasn't something that could be solved overnight.
Right now, there are more urgent situations.
Li De's line of sight shifted slightly, looking at the thunderstorm on Huangyan's side. The Heavenly Tribulation, which has been prepared for eighteen years, is indeed extraordinary, and its momentum alone is enough to make people desperate. In the face of a catastrophe of this magnitude, it seemed wisest to flee as far as possible.
Merlin raised his hand, the ring on the staff jingled, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said to Lid:
"Well~ if you want to save Huangyan, I have a way."
Lid turned his head and looked into his eyes.
Merlin smiled and made a gesture, saying:
"Think about it, isn't I best at illusion magic? Like my current avatar, it is made of illusion magic. Once the catastrophe is activated, it is impossible to cancel it, but I can disguise your breath as Huang Yan, you go and block this thunder for her, she will naturally have a chance."
After the words fell, Merlin put away the smile on his face.
After a while, Lid opened his mouth and asked:
"Do you have the means to deceive the sky?"
Merlin was slightly surprised. He thought that Li De would first ask about the consequences of blocking the catastrophe, but he didn't expect that what he asked was whether he was sure enough. Merlin jumped off the staff, stood on the snow, and said with a hearty smile:
"It's just a loss of my life span of a few decades. I don't particularly care about it. I am a hybrid of elves and humans, and my lifespan is about two hundred years, but my eldest daughter is a human being, and my life span is only a few decades. So the extra ones I have Lifespan is useless, and it’s okay to give you as a favor. As for the success rate, I can only guarantee that part of the catastrophe will be transferred to your head, and I can’t predict the subsequent results.”
Merlin held the staff and said to Lied:
"I want you to go, because my eldest lady has a deep obsession with fighting off aliens, and she and I have been active on the border. If the giants in the north are replaced by Kungu, I will not fight against them But I must also tell you responsibly that I will lose decades of life at most, and neither you nor Huangyan will be able to survive. This is actually a bet on a small probability event. If it succeeds The benefits are huge, and if you fail, you lose everything. And... "
Merlin frowned, but didn't finish.
And even if he succeeded, he would actually make a wedding dress for Lord Lingwu invisibly.
Although I don't know what that woman wants, but one thing is certain.
She wants Kleinus to be resurrected, but she doesn't want Kleinus to be fully resurrected. If Lide can save Huangyan, Klenas's soul will continue to sleep, which is equivalent to helping Lord Lingwu in disguise, but he doesn't know if this is in Lord Lingwu's plan.
Lide knew what he wanted to say, and said lightly:
"It doesn't matter. No matter what that crazy woman plans to do, I will kick her ass before then. The assassination has not been avenged, and this matter can't be left alone."
Lied also stood up and said to Merlin:
"I leave it to you to bully the heavens. Besides, please go help Alaya and Shiloh, and send a message to Lord Lingwu by the way. If she has already left, you and the general of the Moon Guard, War Ghost Or the deputy general Zhan Mei said—”
Lid paused, and said slowly:
"'If you still want someone to help you hold back Xiqin and Nanchu when you go south in the future, don't trouble the rebels now'."
Merlin nodded and said:
"I've made a note of it. If anything happens to you, I can help you guard the Imperial West City for three years."
Lied smiled and said nothing.
Merlin put on a serious expression, raised his staff, and the wind and snow suddenly stopped. The rings on his staff began to vibrate violently, and the two top rings burst apart with a crisp sound. At that moment, Lide could feel that his body was covered with a layer of tulle, and the next moment, the thunder and lightning above the dark clouds began to spread, gathering on Lide's head.
Merlin spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground, clutched his chest and coughed without grace, the blood kept gushing from his mouth and nose, and his already pale skin looked even more bloodless at this moment. Lid also couldn't understand his spells, but illusions were obviously related to the main body. Magic that lost life like this must be the life of the main body. Illusion is just a medium after all.
Lid originally wanted to hand over the little slime to Merlin, but this time the little slime tightly grabbed the clothes on Lid's chest and refused to leave no matter what. There is no way, Lide can only take it to the place where the catastrophe is most violent.
After taking two steps, Merlin's voice suddenly sounded behind him:
"Well. There is one more piece of information, let's count it as a gift for you."
Merlin wiped the blood from his face, smiled and said:
"The three factors you just mentioned that limit the development of human beings to higher altitudes, physical strength, the great formation of protecting the country, and the ten heavy thunder calamities, I actually thought about it when I was young. So I am outside the territory of human beings. This is the reason why no one knows about my realm so far."
Merlin exhaled bloody hot air, narrowed his eyes, and said:
"But I still can't cross the tenth level to reach a higher place. Although I have accumulated a lot of power, these powers seem to be locked and cannot be transformed into a realm improvement. It is said that the tenth level of thunder calamity can change the body structure It makes people stronger, but is that really the case? I don’t understand it, and I’m too lazy to do it, ten weights is enough for me. But if you want to go further, it’s best not to touch that thunder for now.”
Lied nodded and walked into the snowstorm.
