Volume Two [Dark Tide] Chapter 532

The quill pen rustled across the parchment, and the scrawled lines recorded various phenomena that appeared in the magic circle.

Precisely correcting the flaws in the spell release, a strange blue-purple light constantly appeared on the dark pyramid-shaped magic circle, and the swaying halo was reflected on the face of Augustine the Great.

It's coming soon... it's coming soon...

In the laboratory without outsiders, Augustine no longer wears the robes that represent the majesty of power. At this time, the plain white robe was stained with bloodstains of alien species, but now he doesn't care about the image problem at all, because his long-term research has finally come to the end, and the repeated verifications are gradually coming to an end. Only the most critical steps are left to complete the construction of the magic circle model.

After recording the last handwriting, he got up and prepared to fetch the alien species used for the experiment today, but the response from the palace servant made the undead emperor's face darken——

What do you mean? There is no 'heterogeneous'?

The first thing he thought about was whether the alien species hunting orders that had been issued over the years had been implemented, but after carefully recalling the amount of alien species used during this period, he realized that it was because the experiment was at a critical juncture that he killed There are too many exotics to obtain blood, which has led to the current shortage of materials.

Your Majesty, the 'Hunting Order' has been issued again. This time, the reward has been increased and the amount of hunting has been increased. It's just that... no new 'alien species' has been captured recently.

It's true that these things become more and more difficult to catch after a few generations, and it's not your fault.

Augustine had no intention of losing his temper with his servant. Any magic experiment would require a large amount of materials and countless failures to complete. He had already been mentally prepared for this, but now the experiment was stuck on a key step, which really made him feel depressed.

To know,

This is not an ordinary spell improvement experiment, but a powerful array that can really change him, and even the entire Tasman undead!

Simply letting these lambs and ordinary mages go hunting is no longer enough...

Augustus knew the cause of the problem, so he immediately decided to send his powerful troops to search and suppress it—although being an undead has an almost eternal statement, for a demigod-level mage, he I don't want to wait any longer.

Let Hilux stand by, I will use the tracking technique to locate these 'alien species', and let them set out to search tonight, Augustine ordered casually, but saw another servant walking over in a hurry , What? Is there something in the council?

There are not many guys in Tasman who can attract Augustine's heart, and the servant's expression is obviously something serious. But Augustine never expected that he would hear the news that the Lamb raised the flag to rebel...

For so many years, I haven't heard of anyone who would jump out to resist, but now they suddenly come out to make trouble...

Augustine narrowed his eyes, and immediately put his suspicions on the elders of the council who had been contradicting him. As a monarch, he never believed in coincidences, especially when something like this happened suddenly on the eve of the army gathering to set off, no matter how he thought about it, it was full of traces of deliberation.

If there is any other news, report it together.

The experiments in the past few days made Augustine a little out of touch with current affairs. When he heard that the orcs' attack on Karen was blocked, he nodded in surprise: It seems that human beings are not as fragile as imagined. It would be a good thing to let the orcs spend a round first. .”

He had originally planned to drive the orcs to be the vanguard, but now that the orcs were blocked, he was even less anxious to let the undead soldiers rush up. Thinking of the group of lambs who raised the flag and rebelled in the Tasman territory, he had a plan in mind, and walked towards the meeting hall located in the core area of ​​the palace.

Any transfer of the Tasman army must be approved by the emperor's written order and magic seal.

Not to the outside world, but to the inside first. Speaking of it, this is what Augustine has always wanted to do—of course, what he wants to do is to suppress the group of council elders. As for those lambs...

Do you still worry about not enough lambs when the undead army invades the Karen Kingdom?

………………

Gather them together and go to the village to set up camp.

Hundreds of kilometers away, in the northwest of the Tasman Kingdom, Roddy in the drizzle did not respond to Elder Luther's words, but turned around and gave orders to the surrounding soldiers first.

It was getting late at this time, and all the luggage carried by the team before was placed in the camp outside the village. Now that more than two hundred alien species have been captured at once, he naturally has to consider the next issue of board and lodging.

Fortunately, the abandoned village was evacuated in a hurry due to the plague technique, and the leftover supplies could be eaten safely after being purified by the holy light technique, which saved a lot of trouble.

Elder Luther and several elderly people who could be demonized were guarded by soldiers two by two and followed Rody, while the rest walked forward in the rain with their heads bowed. They were all imprisoned by spells, so they didn't have to worry about escaping at all, but obviously no one had similar thoughts at the moment—for many of them, ending the painful life of fleeing was actually a relief.

After entering the village, the team began to bury pots and cook rice. Tasman’s specialty rice was mixed with dried meat to make meat porridge. When bowls of fragrant rice porridge were distributed to these alien species who had not eaten meat for a long time, among them Many people even choked up and cried.

Because most people have forgotten the taste of this food.

At this time, Luther also realized that the group of people in front of him came from different backgrounds, especially the young man who put himself aside... The other party did not have any nobleman's style at all, and his behavior was extremely sharp.

He wanted to take the initiative to say something, but he didn't dare to speak because of Rody's aggressive demeanor when he was silent in the rain. The other party occasionally chatted with the mage next to him, and would also glance at his clansmen. Luther's intuition could confirm that the other party had no killing intent, but the deep eyes made him feel uneasy.

You're their leader, aren't you?

Luo Di suddenly turned his head and said to Luther: Go and call over a dozen guys over there, it will save my people from doing it.

What he said made Luther's heart tremble, but the situation was stronger than others. He hurriedly got up and walked to the side of the village, and suddenly found that the eighteen hunters who had gone hunting were really hiding here.

Luther himself could not lock the position of the clansmen lurking outside the village from such a distance. This kind of unfathomable strength immediately made him give up the last thought, and honestly led the people back to the center of the camp. .

Akasha cooked fragrant milk tea and brought it to Rody. He sat on a crude wooden stake and looked down at the timid Luther, and finally started the conversation:

Tell me about your life experience. Are you the first batch of infected humans?

Yes... my lord, about 70 years ago, I and more than 30 villagers in the same village became like this. As a result, I was rejected by other villagers and had to hide in the woods...

Luther answered Rody's questions honestly, and at the same time gradually solved many questions in Roddy's mind.

In fact, the reason why Rody mentioned the word infection was because he could see the identity of the other party's head prompting as infected human being. This is completely different from the previous name of Nora's demon subspecies, at least the name of the race of human is still retained.

Therefore, he easily connected the words infection, demon, and subspecies together.

In Roddy's eyes, these different species were simply named Tiefling by him-this is the name of a half-demon race in a game in his memory, and it is quite appropriate to use it now, because from Luther's words It is easy to deduce the fact that:

The first generation of infected humans still had the identity of humans. They did not grow tails, and their skin color was considered normal. Only their bodies were mutated, and they all had the ability to demonize.

And their descendants, the third generation, were born with the devil subspecies with a devil's tail like Nora. From here on, tiefling's body changed completely—from Luther's narration, from the second generation onwards, tiefling's physical fitness was much stronger than that of ordinary humans, and it was almost impossible to face the harsh living environment in the wild. Never gets sick, and has strong self-healing ability and night vision ability.

Then it stands to reason that you shouldn't be in such a desperate situation.

Roddy is a little strange, he is physically strong and still not sick, so he won't be extinct, right?

This... is mainly because of the 'Blood Moon Disaster' and the pursuit of those humans. Elder Luther had a bitter face: Every year there will be one night that makes us miserable, and many newborn clansmen die in such pain. If Those few days were weak, even as an adult? It was just as hard to bear.”

What day is it?

We no longer have the habit of recording the date. We only know that it is a certain day when the rain is about to stop, followed by a dry winter. Every year at this time, many tribesmen will be arrested by those humans because of their weakness. Their actions have become more frequent in recent years, so...

Elder Luther had completely resigned himself to his fate, and explained everything he could explain. Roddy felt that he had received a lot of information that night. What he couldn't figure out was why the undead were arresting these tieflings—after all, Tasman didn't clean up the tiefling. The Church, which is self-confident in its righteousness, shouts purify the devil, but as far as a basic principle is concerned: since this is what the enemy wants, then you must hide it well before talking about it.

So he had made up his mind to make the tieflings disappear into the Tasman.

I do have a question.

Melinsera, who had been listening by the side, suddenly made a sound, making Roddy and Luther turn their heads.

You just said that you were infected in the village with your companions... How did you get infected?

It's... a flame that fell from the sky.

Luther recalled the horror scene more than 70 years ago, and his face could not help showing some painful expressions: Purple flames enveloped everything, and my whole body was burned by the flames, but I only felt that my whole body was abnormally cold, and I even felt that I would be frozen. die--

Wait. Merlinsera's face became serious, You said... the purple flame? It's very cold?

Yes Yes…

Luther stuttered suddenly, because the aura suddenly emanating from Melinsera made him suffocate like drowning. Even the horses around the village neighed in shock, and the tieflings nearby were silent, all feeling I was strangled by an invisible hand...

Melinsera!

Rody's low drink made her wake up suddenly, obviously only Rody and a group of soldiers with the Dragon Slayer Mark were not affected. Although there is no dragon crystal, the Longwei is still astonishingly powerful when it appears through magic shock. Melinsella knew that she had lost her composure, so she quickly restrained her momentum.

What did you think of?

Hearing Roddy's question, Merlinsera realized that he was holding his wrist. Most of the violent emotions that had just arisen in my heart melted away immediately, and a subtle, heart-shattering strange feeling seemed to spread through my whole body along my wrist.

Seeing that her breath had calmed down, Rody let go of her palm without a trace. Melinsera exhaled, trying to suppress the strangeness in her heart: The disaster he mentioned may have something to do with...my people.

Others didn't understand what it meant, but Rody's eyes widened: Are there any connections between demons and the Shadow Dragon Clan? !
