Garci town is located in the mountains in the south of the kingdom of Neville and belongs to the garrot family. Since Baron garrot found an element crystal vein nearby, this miner town has been built.
Like other mining towns, Jiaxi town is surrounded by mountains and forests. There is no stable water source. When the elemental crystal is mined out, it will be abandoned. However, the nearby crystal mine has not been mined, it has been abandoned.
A few years ago, a pair of ferocious night blade leopards moved here. They regarded miners as prey and preyed on more than 30 miners. The Lord organized two encirclement and suppression campaigns, but failed. Finally, he had to give up the crystal mine, and Jiaxi town became an unmanned town.
Although Jiaxi town is called a town, it is not as big as a village. Only the broken stone wall proves its identity. A gust of north wind blew, dark clouds covered the moon, the wall was dark, and the broken wooden houses trembled and creaked in the cold wind, adding a trace of terror to the gloomy waste town.
Suddenly, there was a faint fire in the largest building in the center of the town. The faint yellow halo sways in the night wind, like a lighthouse, pointing out the direction for the lost.
A huge owl glided through the dark night sky, fluttered its wings and landed on the rotten window frame. It looked into the house and jumped in without hesitation.
In the house, three people dressed as farmers were baking around the fireplace. When the owl rushed in wrapped in the cold wind, they quickly grabbed the axe around them. When they saw the appearance of uninvited guests, two middle-aged people obviously relaxed. Only the youngest farmer still held the axe tightly and looked like he was going to chop down at any time.
The half human owl cocked up its feathers, spread its wings and gave a warning roar. Its shadow shrouded the whole wall behind him and looked terrible.
"Gumm! Watch your pet!"
An angry voice sounded from the owl''s mouth. The young farmer was frightened and fell to the ground. The gray haired middle-aged farmer next to him had a bad smile on his face, turned his head to the corner and said, "baby, this stupid bird can''t eat. Go outside and don''t let strangers come near here."
In the shadow, two giant night blade leopards shook their dark fur, put away their sharp claws, and rubbed the middle-aged farmer with their heads. Then they walked out of the house gracefully and silently.
"Gumm! One day, I''ll skin these stupid cats!" The owl folded its wings and said viciously.
"Yes, as long as you find me some more ferocious animals, I''ll pick them for you." Gumm smiled innocently.
"Well, hold the ceremony quickly." Another middle-aged man wrapped himself in a tight and worn sheep''s fur jacket, threw a piece of wood into the fire, stamped his foot and complained, "it''s cold in this damn weather!"
The owl paced forward two steps, looked at the young farmer with a crooked head and asked, "are you Lindo?"
The young farmer shrank back, and then felt a little ashamed, so he straightened his chest and said ruthlessly, "I... I''m Lindu of Huo... Huomarathon county. Do you know me?" After that, he stammered and explained, "I... I''m not afraid, I''m cold... Cold shivering."
"Hehe, Heller, your apprentice looks very afraid of the cold." The owl said to the middle-aged man closest to the fire.
Heller rubbed his hands and said coldly, "he is really afraid, I am really afraid of the cold. Messenger, even the windows here are rotten. If there is no ceremony, those pigs will freeze to death!"
"Let''s start."
The hairy Eagle named messenger loosened its left claw and a pure black crystal fell on the floor. Heller came forward to pick up the crystal, looked carefully and nodded to Gumm.
"The bold boy of horathon County, work." Gumm beat the young farmer on the shoulder and turned to the inner room.
Lindu''s face turned red and white. Under Heller''s gaze, he clenched his teeth and followed up the inner room. After a while, Gome and Miller dragged five unconscious people out. These people, men and women, old and young, lie motionless on the cold ground. If their chests are not still undulating, they look like dead people.
Heller first placed the five men, women and children, head on head, in a circle, put the black crystal in the center, and finally began to recite the obscure mantra.
With Heller''s singing, dense black fog floated out of the crystal, and the fog gradually filled the air until five people on the ground were submerged. The dark red runes appeared in the void of the room and arranged into a ring in a mysterious way. The ring slowly turned, and the fog surged. Four men and women sat up from the ground one after another.
"I''m the vice speaker, giant."
"I''m a congressman, Michigan."
"I''m a congressman, Severn."
"I''m a congressman, magassia."
The four men stood up and greeted each other. The little old man who called himself a giant said, "the speaker hasn''t arrived yet. Heller, please continue."
The spell didn''t stop, the Rune Ring continued to rotate, Heller''s face became more and more pale, and fine beads of sweat exuded from his forehead. Finally, a young and crisp voice sounded in the black fog.
"I''m the speaker of the shadow. Heller, hard work, you can stop."
Heller gasped and stopped reciting. The rune circle turned into a light spot and dissipated in the air. Except for Lin Du, a young farmer, all the people present crossed their hands on their chest and said in unison to the little girl who had just stood up: "I''ve seen the speaker."
The little girl nodded, turned her eyes to Lindu who was bowing there, and said kindly, "child, are you Lindu? There''s no need to be nervous or polite."
Lindu relaxed. He looked at the mysterious little girl curiously. She was 7 or 8 years old, wearing ordinary coarse linen clothes and short sheepskin jacket. She was completely an ordinary peasant girl. Only her clear eyes showed wisdom and vicissitudes of life. When Lindu was about to look more carefully, he was pressed on his head by gunm nearby, and his strength made him bend down.
No one cared about the movement in the corner. The vice speaker giant took the lead and said, "speaker, this meeting is being held in time. I have something important to report. Our action in the man horse hill failed, and the assassination target turned out to be a popular silver level shooter. Moreover, the demagogue and the beast king who performed the task are missing. I suspect they are dead!"
"How is this possible?! the beast king has been able to turn into a dragon man. He once killed an ogre supervisor, and then cooperated with the soul reflection of the demagogue. Even the Golden Knight must not be their opponent. Is it the legendary Paladin who killed them? Won''t we be exposed?" Cried Senator Severn incredulously.
"Messenger?"
Seeing that everyone''s eyes looked over, the big owl quickly said, "I''m sure all six legendary paladins fought with the Centaur tribe in the eastern wilderness. I just don''t know whether the referee lesta and the first Paladin nahtigal left al..."
"Those two can''t leave al. Once they leave, the whole world will know. Did the beast king and the demagogue defecte?" Senator magassia shook his head.
"Impossible!"
Congressman mishgen only said one word, and the people nodded their approval.
The little "giant" said: "Do you remember the Flamingo? He claimed to be inspired by the king of shadow and encouraged the Council to destroy the elves and blood aristocrats. After being rejected, he acted without authorization, resulting in the death of the broken soul in the human horse hill. Now the animal king and the demagogue are also missing in the human horse hill, and their target is the same person! Maybe we should re-examine the flamingo''s proposal! At least find out The association! "
"Seconded. The demagogue is very important to the parliament. His whereabouts are unknown now. We should send someone to the man horse hill to look for his trace."
"Seconded!"
"Seconded!"
"Why die?" The little girl looked around at the crowd and asked, "or why should we obey the Whisperer''s arrangement?"
The room was suddenly quiet, only the fire was crackling, and the speaker said slowly: "The disappearance of the two companions has nothing to do with the church or the nobility. It can only be related to the whisperers. Don''t forget the disaster brought to us by the whisperers. They are not the mentors of our God chosen ones, let alone our masters. They are just a group of despicable swindlers, hiding in the dark like rats and luring us to achieve their goals with lies and fraud. However, they Our purpose is contrary to ours. If we want to restore the glory of God''s chosen people, we must not do what they want. They want us to go to the man horse hills, we can''t go! Gentlemen, our hope is in the East, not in the man horse hills! "
"Indeed, if the church catches a wizard, it will hold a purification ceremony with great fanfare. It is impossible to execute silently. Moreover, the noble Golden Knight is by no means the opponent of the beast king." The giant bowed to the speaker and said, "speaker, I was so reckless that I almost fell into the Whisperer''s trick. But I don''t understand why our hope is in the east?"
The speaker shook his head and said: "Don''t underestimate the strength of the Golden Knight. The beast king can run for his life in the hands of the Golden Knight, but it is impossible to defeat the Golden Knight directly, and not even the demagogue! If they meet the Rose Queen, there is no chance to run for his life. Ladies and gentlemen, I solemnly warn you to stay away from the Golden Knight! If they can occupy a place in the era of the chosen one, they will win our respect Heavy. In the future, we will cooperate equally with the knights, but now is not the time. As for the previous relationship, it will never appear again. "
The people were stunned and speechless. The speaker turned his eyes to Lin Du, who was timid and looked at him blankly. He asked, "Lin Du, do you understand?"
These wizards, legendary paladins, Golden Knights and whisperers, Lindu can understand them. Six months ago, he was an ordinary farmer in dodo kingdom. However, Lindu also knows that the "little girl" in front of him is everyone''s head, as big as the village head, and his questions must be answered honestly.
"Big... Sir, i... I don''t understand." Lindu replied tremblingly.
The speaker gave Heller a faint look, and Heller suddenly clicked in his heart. He didn''t expect that the rookie would be valued by the speaker.
Heller hardened his head and came forward and said, "Lord speaker, we are busy on our way and haven''t had time to educate Lindu. However, I have introduced to him the entanglement between the God elect and the church and some precautions."
The speaker nodded and said to the young farmer, "Lindu, it seems that you don''t agree with your current identity?"
"I... I don''t know?!"
Lin Du knelt on the ground with his face covered, and tears flowed out of his fingers. He has always been a devout believer of the Lord of glory. He never thought that he had become an evil wizard. If he had not been found by these people, he would have been burned to death in the square. Thinking of this, Lindo was confused and afraid. He couldn''t help crying.
Seeing that the novice wizard was weak, the people showed disdain. They seemed to have forgotten that they were not as good as there at the beginning. Only the speaker asked, "Lindu, do you think you are evil?"
"I''m not a bad man! I''ve never done anything bad." Lin Du stood up excitedly and argued loudly. He felt that this was not convincing, so he took an example and said, "Gavin, they asked me to steal vegetables, but I didn''t go!"
"Ha ha."
Everyone laughed and even the owl laughed strangely, but when they saw the dissatisfied eyes of the speaker, the laughter stopped suddenly.
The speaker said gently to Lindu, "son, you are not an evil person or a descendant of the devil. You are a noble God chosen person, even more noble than a knight. The nobility of a knight lies in blood, and our nobility lies in the soul."
"Then... Then why does the supreme glory purify me?" Lindu asked puzzled.
"He''s a liar!" Cried Gumm, gnashing his teeth.
"Don''t slander the Lord of glory. His greatness is beyond doubt." Said the speaker unhappily.
"The enemies of the Lord of glory are those whisperers, not us. It is clear that the Lord of glory never appeared before the turbulent years. If the director of glory exterminates mortals by whisperers, our God chosen ones will also die. In this regard, the Lord of glory saved us. Only when the Church of glory wants to seize power, it is determined to eliminate the God chosen ones, but this is not enough It''s impossible. "
Lindu said excitedly, "my Lord, the Supreme Lord has never abandoned me, has he? Father Nigel is the blasphemer, is he?"
"I can''t say that." The speaker was silent for a moment and patiently explained: "The real existence does not need faith. What needs faith is the church itself. The Lord of glory converts the faith of mortals into holy power and feeds it back to the clergy of the church according to the agreement. Therefore, all talents are the foundation of the church. The Church cannot bear the risk of human extinction, so it needs to destroy our God chosen ones. In fact, the church is still aimed at whisperers, because they know that as long as mortals exist In, the chosen one will not perish. "
Lindo looked confused, Heller thought deeply, and Gumm was angry. The big owl stepped forward and asked the speaker for instructions: "Sir, let me explain."
The speaker nodded and the owl said, "listen, the three of you. The following content is only known by the top of the parliament."
"Our Shadow Council has a longer history than the glorious church. Before the turbulent times, the electors were divided into two camps, one was the Council and the other was the Pantheon. Our Council focused on the research and inheritance of witchcraft and advocated the development of their own potential to form a complete set of witchcraft system. The Pantheon focused on expansion. They improved themselves through dialogue with whisperers With the help of whisperers, the Pantheon is much stronger than parliament, but they need a lot of resources. This makes the two sides conflict from time to time. "
"The Council has made great achievements in the research of witchcraft system. We have broken through the limitations of talent and formed a new spell casting system. For example, the advent spell just performed by Heller is one of the achievements. As long as it is trained, every god elect can perform it. Therefore, the Council calls itself a mage and the guys in the Pantheon call themselves warlocks."
"Both mages and warlocks face the problem of inheritance. Our life span is too short and our ability cannot be inherited in our blood. The legendary Archmage Andrew of Parliament invented the blood sacrifice under the temptation of whisperers, which led to the end of the era of the chosen one and the rise of the glorious church."
"In the later stage of the war, the parliament was aware of the harm of blood sacrifice and the sinister intentions of whisperers, but both sides could not stop. The awakening of the Lord of glory gave the parliament hope. The mages began to cooperate with the early Pope. It was with the help of the parliament that the glorious church grew and formed a divination system. Hehe, the divination of the church is all the research of our Parliament Results. "
"After the defeat of the Pantheon, the Pope tore up the covenant and turned to deal with the parliament. Although the mages repeatedly said that they would no longer listen to the whisperers, the Pope asked how to guarantee? To tell the truth, we can''t guarantee. Isn''t that the idiot of the Flamingo? You know the later things, the church is one with mortals, and the mages and magicians are one with mortals, but the three sides There is no trust. But our heritage is still there, and the parliament has become a shadow Parliament. "
"We don''t know why whisperers are trying to exterminate mankind, but it is certain that the Lord of glory is only aimed at whisperers. He is protecting mankind from the threat of whisperers, including our God chosen ones. This is the basis for our mage''s rise again."
"You may not know that the glorious code does not require the extermination of wizards, because it is impossible to do so. The glorious code is only a contract between the church and the Lord of glory. If the Lord of glory wakes up again, the code will also become invalid, which the Church cannot tolerate. However, human beings are far away from the threat of whisperers and face the threat of wild monsters, which is unacceptable to all."
"If the Sassanian empire is broken by orcs, mankind will still face the danger of extinction. The fewer mortals, the weaker the strength of the church, and they will have to admit the existence of our mage. The premise is that our mage should resist the orc attack and prevent the emergence of warlocks. That''s why the parliament prohibits whisperers. At that time, our mage will Reappear brilliance and become a noble among mankind! "
Lindu asked excitedly, "my Lord, can I also become a noble? Is this true?"
"It''s true." The speaker nodded affirmatively and said: "But we must live until then! More than 10000 years ago, the Council set up a mage tower in nidam Everglades to study how to prolong life. Although it failed to achieve great results, it successfully developed a secret medicine to make mages ferocious. This can not only improve our life expectancy for at least 20 years, but also improve our survival ability. Find the secret medicine, right The follow-up plan of the meeting is very important. "
"Lindo, as long as you''ve seen something, you can always search for the same thing, can''t you?"
Lindu nodded and said proudly and obscene, "yes, I saw a gopher and knew that other gophers were there. I''m an expert at digging gophers'' holes, and Gavin can''t compare with me. Once, I saw Lena during the day. When I went to bed at night, I saw her bathing. That fart... Hey hey!"
"That''s good!"
The speaker said, "the secret medicine is sealed in a crystal. We have found a sample of that crystal, which is kept by nightmare in the East. I now propose that Lindu serve as a member of Parliament to search for the ruins of the mage tower in nidam Everglades. Members of the Council also try to go to the east to cooperate with the search plan."
"Seconded."
"Seconded."
The high level of parliament unanimously approved the speaker''s proposal, which made Heller and Gome very envious.
"You two are responsible for escorting Senator Lindo to the east to meet nightmare. I will arrange nightmare to guide your spells." The speaker said to them.
Heller and Gumm were overjoyed. The speaker asked congressman Saiwen, "is there a way to send them to the east?"
Saiwen pondered for a moment and said: "Three days later, a caravan of the kingdom of Borui will pass by Baron garrot''s town. The caravan manager is my man. I can let him take Senator Lindo. Of course, he can only be a waiter. By the way, you leave tonight. I heard that Baron garrot has recruited a large number of mercenaries to encircle and suppress the violent animals here. I''m afraid you will be in trouble if you leave late. ”
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We''ll go right away." Gome nodded and bowed.
"OK, that''s all for the meeting." Said the speaker.
Everyone saluted the speaker again, and then the five senior leaders fell to the ground one after another. Lindu saw the little girl''s dark eyes and asked anxiously, "what''s the matter with them?"
"Dead!" Gome said indifferently.
"How did this happen? How did it happen?" Murmured Lindo.
Heller was just about to teach Lindu a lesson. Thinking that his current identity was still above himself, he had to say kindly, "the adults have gone. Lindu, you are now a noble God elect. These are just Dalits. It''s not a pity."
Lindu took a deep breath, tried to straighten his chest and asked, "I heard that the East is full of man eating monsters. Only criminals will be exiled there. Will we be in danger?" As he spoke, his chest collapsed and his voice became smaller and smaller.
Gunm and Heller looked at each other and said with a smile, "the East is our paradise. The parliament has been operating in the East for hundreds of years. When we get there, we don''t have to worry. We can eat well, drink well, and the noble lady can sleep. I promise you won''t want to come back after you go."
"Is it a noble lady like the village head''s daughter?" Lindo asked in shock and excitement.
"Can the village head''s daughter be a noble lady?" Heller shook his head in disdain and said, "only those with noble blood are called noble ladies... I can''t tell you clearly. You''ll know when you get to the East."
"Then what are we waiting for? Let''s go!"
"Yes! Let''s go now! Go east!"
