Sword of Dawn

"Good day, Emperor Rosetta, we haven't seen each other for some time."

"Good day, His Majesty Gawain Cecil—I am glad to see that you are still so healthy. You are right, we have not seen each other for some time."

The two empire rulers exchanged simple greetings, but did not waste too much time in these usual rhetoric. Gawain quickly got to the point: "We have received the document from the Obsidian Palace, via Cecil's domestic Experts from the Theocratic Council have carefully demonstrated and deduced, and we believe that this bold plan is worth implementing—but we need more detailed technical information and program planning before we can make a final judgment.”

"...you reached conclusions faster than I thought." Rosetta said from the bottom of her heart.

"Because I have the most reliable experts and the most experienced...consultants here," Gao Wen laughed, but there was a slight pause when he said the word "consultant", "The advice they gave was quick and to the point .”

"...I think I probably guessed who the advisor you are talking about," Rosetta thought for a while, and then thought of the documents released by Cecil in the high-level authority of the Theocratic Council not long ago. , his expression changed slightly, and his attitude became serious, "If it's...their suggestion, then I can understand why you made a judgment so quickly."

Gao Wen nodded, and didn't say anything more on the topic of "consultant", but asked directly: "I want to know what the specific plan of Typhon's side for this 'cooperation' is. Scholars from Typhon have already taken the lead in the project of the National Gate, so what do you need us to do next?"

Rosetta did not go around the corner, after all, this is the channel for the two heads of state to communicate directly: "A high-purity, high-intensity arcane energy source, and must be extremely controllable."

Gao Wen's eyes were serious, and he nodded slowly. The matter Rosetta proposed was exactly one of the situations he expected before starting the communication.

According to the rough technical information provided by Typhon, three crucial conditions are required to open the gate of God of War God's Kingdom: one is undoubtedly the fragment left by God of War, which is used as a "beacon" to open the door; The technical parameters for constructing the gate, this part has been fiddled with by the scholars of Typhon, and its source is the knowledge fragments stolen by the Augustus family from the Eye of God; the third...is enough to open and A source of arcane power that supports the gate.

The first two conditions were met by Typhon, but the third condition was in the hands of Cecil—the basis of "cooperation" came from this.

"We know that Cecil has been carrying out the 'exploration experiment on the essence of magic power', and we also know that you have created the highest-purity and highest-strength arcane energy source that humans can create so far. Frankly speaking... this Things can’t be made by Tifeng,” Rosetta said very frankly, “We need your energy technology, and you need our portal technology.”

Chapter 1183 Adventure

Gao Wen in the holographic projection seemed to be lost in thought. He didn't respond to Rosetta for a while, but he didn't speak until more than ten seconds later: "I don't have any doubts on the technical level. Experts will discuss this matter. What I care about is how Typhon perceives the risks behind this incident, and whether you have made enough plans and... psychological preparations for these risks."

"...This is a feat that comes with great risks. Please rest assured, Gawain, I have a clear understanding of it," Rosetta said slowly and solemnly in a low voice, "Except for you, No mortal in this world is more aware of the dangers of gods than I am, and no one is more cautious in this field than I am-my family and I have spent 200 years dealing with a god who is out of control, and we are in this kind of thing I will not be careless.

"As for your specific concerns, the experts on my side have formulated six different plans, taking into account the activation of the Kingdom of God, the will of the God of War remaining in the Kingdom of God, the existence of mental pollution in the Kingdom of God that exceeds the immunity level of mortals, and other God may intervene in various unexpected situations. Of course, no matter how many plans we make, we must always be prepared to face situations beyond our imagination. We should have a consensus on this.

"I will send the complete plan and more technical information to Cecil later, you can read it before making a judgment."

Gawain in the holographic projection finally nodded slowly, and said in a deep voice after a moment of deliberation: "Since you have already considered this step, I can also explain to you—— Cecil's side also It will provide strong enough security guarantees in the Kingdom of God exploration plan...we will have a real 'expert' as a consultant and guide for exploration operations."

"A real expert?" Rosetta was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have guessed something, and the expression on his face couldn't help changing, "Could it be that you mean..."

"This matter is top secret now," Gao Wen nodded lightly, "There will be a god involved—please rest assured, she has been 'harmless' now, and she is completely on our side. But At the same time, you have to be prepared. Her help can bring us great help, but it will also bring additional risks. There must be no "believers" among those involved in the operation, and there must be no people who are not firm-willed know about it."

Rosetta's expression became extremely solemn, and she nodded in a solemn tone: "I understand that this matter will be checked by me personally. The people who can participate in this plan are extremely determined scholars and dead men, and many of them They have secretly assisted the Augustus family against the power of the gods for many years, and they have all stood the test."

Gao Wen nodded again, and then he talked with Rosetta about some project cooperation matters, and finally asked a question: "There is one more thing I want to know - where are you going to open this door?" Door'?"

In the religious sense, the "gateway to the Kingdom of God" is an almost illusory, spiritual concept, which only exists in the thoughts of devout believers and perceptions beyond dimensions. However, what the Typhon people have to do now is to To solidify and manifest this illusory door through technical means, they want to create a door that can truly allow mortals to enter, which means that there must be a "place" for opening the door.

"Considering the potential risks, this door must be far away from all the bustling areas. If possible, it is best to set it up in an uninhabited area." Rosetta thought for a while, talking about her own thoughts, "We have to set up enough' Safety measures', we need to ensure that once the door is out of control, we can completely destroy its physical structure in the real world in the shortest possible time, but on the other hand, under the condition that the door operates normally, it must be able to withstand a certain degree of foreign Shock, in case of various accidents..."

While listening to Rosetta's words, Gawain nodded his head slightly in agreement, and muttered to himself softly: "It sounds like the Gondor Wasteland is quite qualified... Unfortunately, the risk is too great. "

"Yes, the risk is too great," Rosetta agreed, "Not to mention that at this stage we can only build a test site in the uninhabited area on the edge of the wasteland, the chaotic and out-of-control energy environment around the wasteland itself is the reason why the gate is not open. There are hidden dangers of stability, and the space-time structure near the magnificent wall is affected by a powerful energy field. There are many fault zones in the deep layer. If something really 'runs out' from the gate, these difficult-to-monitor fault zones may become Countless leak points..."

"Let's rule out this option," Gao Wen said, "continue to talk about what other conditions are required for that door."

"It should be an independent and strong facility that can be completely blown up from the inside, but difficult to break through from the outside; it also needs a sufficient energy supply, and it is best to have enough space around it to set up those arcane generators; we also need Build roads to facilitate the transportation of supplies and personnel..." Rosetta continued to talk about the requirements submitted by the technicians after repeated discussions, and emphasized one point at the end, "Also, there is another very, very important point: all this be achieved in the shortest possible time.

"The God of War has fallen, and the connection between his remaining fragments and the Kingdom of God has recently shown obvious signs of decline. Scholars believe that this shows that the Kingdom of God of War is gradually 'away' from our world—after losing the mortal thought trend After being used as an "anchor", the Kingdom of God is like a ghost ship floating on the sea, and it will completely leave our sight at some point. We must solidify the door before it is completely disconnected from the real world. to re-establish the anchor point..."

After listening to Rosetta's last words, Gawain frowned slightly, thinking: "So, this facility can't be too far away from us, otherwise it will only increase the construction cost and time... If possible, it will It would be nice to have some foundation already so we can do just a little remodeling and repairing..."

Does such a place exist?Rosetta fell into deep thought for a moment, and quickly thought of something. He slowly raised his head and looked at Gawain with searching eyes: "What do you think... How about the Treaty Fort? It's right in our border buffer zone. Although our trade route to the north is very active now, the wasteland where the Fort of the Treaty is located is still far away from human habitation, there are also ready-made roads and enough space, and the supply station set up in the border area for the construction of the castle can also come in handy.”

Gao Wen in the holographic projection slowly laughed: "You and I thought about going together."

"It seems that we have reached a consensus again," Rosetta also showed a rare smile, and his usually gloomy face became slightly calmer, and then he seemed to think of something related to the Treaty Fort, The expression on his face became a little emotional, and he sighed softly, "Fortress of Treaty..."

"Yeah, Contracting Fort... a lot of things happened there, and the fate of many people changed from there, didn't they, Rosetta?"

……

The long-distance communication with Aldernan was over, and Gawain took half a step back, leaving the optical capture area of ​​the magic net terminal, then he turned and walked off the platform, and came to Hetty who had been waiting at the door of the communication room.

"It seems that this cooperation between us and Typhon has been finalized." Hetty stepped forward and helped Gawain tidy up the wrinkles on his coat, and then frowned slightly, "I just didn't expect it to be finalized." The location of the 'opening the door' will be in the Fort of the Treaty... This 'temporary fortress' built only to sign a peace agreement between Anzu and Typhon has stood up to this day beyond everyone's expectations... "

"It will also stand in the history and political books of later generations. I don't know how many paragraphs will be related to it-please briefly discuss the famous historical events that happened in the Treaty Fort and their subsequent impact," Gao Wen smiled and used The joke diluted the slightly serious and depressing atmosphere, "I am afraid that countless students would dream that the castle would stop standing..."

The old ancestor's thoughts sometimes are really unexpected, and Hetty couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and thought about it quite seriously: "Then they will be disappointed, even if a building like the Treaty Fort falls down It will become a new big topic, such as writing about the time, reason and background of the contracting fort's collapse..."

Hetty, who has always been serious and serious, was able to keep up with his own jokes, which surprised Gawain a little bit, and then he coughed twice, bringing the topic back on track: "Inform Kamai after you go back Let me know, our cooperation with Typhon is about to begin, although the arcane energy source he created has not been able to solve the mystery of the essence of magic at this stage...but it may be used to blast the secrets of the gods."

……

The cold and dry polar wind blows through the rugged wilderness covered with crystalline rock formations, bringing a low sound like the whimper of some giant beast between the jagged vertical rock pillars, and some ruins are mixed in the wind The pungent smell unique to the volatilization of toxic substances in the depths, and the coldness of the air itself made the young huntress Lola shiver uncontrollably.

Even though she has the double protection of a breeze shield and warm clothes, and just drank the mass-produced frost resistance potion distributed on it before departure, the cold weather in the Arctic region still challenges her, a southerner, to withstand it all the time— —At this time, she even regretted a little. If she had known that the place far away from the camp could be as cold as this, she would have bought some higher-quality frost resistance potions at her own expense, such as the 52-degree sauce produced by Cecil High-end goods...

Some boring thoughts ran through my mind, and the huntress' thoughts immediately gathered again, and she began to concentrate on watching the movement on the route ahead - the most taboo thing to do in a strange and harsh environment is to be distracted , and she had been distracted for too long just now, she knew that the whistling cold wind and the overly repetitive and monotonous wilderness scenery were interfering with her judgment, but this was not a reason to relax.

Fortunately, this time I am not acting alone, and there are many reliable partners around me.

Laura raised her head, and while she was vigilant about her surroundings, she glanced at her companions. She saw several swordsmen and another hunter who set out with her, and also saw the two most well-protected ones in the team. Druid, in the end, her eyes still fell on the mage in the center of the team—by visual inspection, Mr. Mordir, who was over 80 years old, was walking swiftly among a group of people, with an expression on his face that seemed Very pleasant.

Mage, a fragile yet powerful extraordinary profession, should always be protected by teammates with stronger defenses in the middle of the marching or combat formation during operations. This is the common sense that any adventurer should know and abide by, but looking at The energetic old man in the middle of the team... Laura really doubted her professional knowledge more than once.

Does this old man really need protection?

"We are already approaching the border of our team's patrol area," a two-handed swordsman who was acting as the temporary team leader stopped suddenly and interrupted Lola's thoughts. The two-handed swordsman took out a through the flashing lines and light spots on the map to confirm the current position of myself and my teammates, "After crossing the low slope further forward, we will be the end of our patrol. The area ahead is in charge of other teams. You can go back."

Laura breathed a sigh of relief, but she still didn't dare to completely relax her tense nerves. While paying attention to the situation among the rock pillars around her, she recalled the mission she and her teammates had shouldered: as Tallonde dragon warriors The support force of the team is active on the surface, patrolling and confirming the routes opened up by the dragon warriors along the way, eliminating those wandering monsters that escaped the breath of the dragons by chance, observing whether there are new elemental rifts in the temporary safety zone at any time and reporting them in time.

And they have only one goal in this series of tasks, and that is to assist the dragons to open a safe route between New Argondor and Crystal Rock Hill.

Contrary to what Lola expected at the beginning, this is not a one-time transaction, but a relatively long-term task. It is difficult for the dragons to open the road between Agondor and the crystal rock hill within a day or two, so the whole development, The task of clearing and stabilizing the border may last for many days.

"To be honest, I think this route is safe enough," a single-handed swordsman couldn't help muttering, probably because he was a little tired of patrolling for many days and sporadic battles with very little gain, "We geniuses I came into contact with a few wandering elemental creatures, and the number was even worse than cleaning up monster dens around the camp..."

The temporary team leader couldn't help but look back at the single-handed swordsman: "After all, this is an area that has been cleared by the dragons once, and it's normal to be relatively safe—if you don't feel exciting enough, you can drive forward , in the area where the dragons haven't had time to deal with, there are monsters for you to practice..."

"Forget it—I'm not that group of sea monsters. I can crawl out of the cooling pool intact if I get sucked into the engine of the mechanical ship..."

Listening to the spirited chatting and laughing of her companions, Laura also relaxed a little, but just as she smiled, a strange smell that suddenly wafted into her nostrils made her frown again.

It smelled like sulfur, but not so pungent, like roasted rocks, but stronger and more vivid than that, Laura couldn't help sniffling again, and an inexplicable thought suddenly came from her heart popped out—

It smells like pure flame.

Of course, pure flames have no smell, but such a weird association popped up in Laura's mind, and almost at the same time as she came up with this idea, the nearby companions finally realized the appearance of that weird smell one by one, and some people couldn't bear it. Covering his nose, he muttered: "What's the smell... like something is burning..."

Chapter 1184 Fierce Battle

At first, the strange smells that filled the surroundings, like burning flames, did not attract the attention of the adventurers, because in this wasteland that had experienced the battle of killing gods, countless strange smells have long been paralyzed To the senses of outsiders, the compounds flowing out of underground factories, pipeline networks, and industrial raw material pools, as well as those gas wells and liquid storage facilities that are still burning, are escaping every second, making Lola and her The companions were nervous. After experiencing countless false alarms, the first reaction of the adventurers was that there might be some industrial facilities leaking nearby.

However, as the strange smell in the air became more and more obvious, the vigilance in the adventurer's heart finally awakened, and Lola stopped subconsciously, and countless fine and delicate dark red lines appeared on the surface of the enchanted short bow in her hand. A one-handed swordsman walking by her side also raised his sword in a defensive posture, reminding the surrounding partners in a low voice: "The situation is not right...I feel something is gathering..."

"Be vigilant!" The two-handed swordsman who served as the temporary team leader raised an arm in front, the experienced adventurer has already smelled the danger approaching, "The elements are enriching... there is an invisible line nearby Rift!"

element?

Laura almost instantly set her sights on Mordir, who might be the most powerful spellcaster in the team—although extraordinary people can perceive the flow of magic power and elemental power, only mages are real experts in the field of elements. The experienced old gentleman can definitely play a huge role at this moment!

However, as soon as her gaze swept over, she saw that old Mr. Mordir was just standing there in a daze—he seemed to have fallen into that trance state again.

"Damn it... Mordir!" Lola panicked in her heart, ignoring the etiquette of elders, and immediately shouted, "Don't be in a daze! The situation is wrong!"

Modil suddenly woke up from distraction, the old mage Ji Ling suddenly raised his eyelids, and instantly noticed the turbulent elemental power in the surrounding air, and immediately exclaimed in a low voice: "The lungs of the founding monarch! Look Isn't there an elemental rift that is opening in front of you? It's so straight to such a short distance?!"

While exclaiming in surprise, the old mage who just came back to his senses waved his hand, and an invisible wave of magic power moved forward instantly. At this point, the elemental shadows that were originally hidden suddenly outlined the entity, and an incongruous crack emerged in the stable material world—a scarlet red that was hundreds of meters high and more than ten meters wide, like a terrifying vertical pupil. The red rift stood only tens of meters in front of the adventurer team, and the flames and hot mist continuously sprayed out from the red rift like vertical pupils almost touched the scalps of Laura and her partners! !

The young huntress felt her heart stopped beating for a moment. She only glanced at the crack, and saw countless flowing lava condensed and formed in another world, and living flames danced and danced in the air. Grotesque creatures of pure energy gathered maliciously toward this side of the rift, a sight she had never seen in her entire adventures like it - yet she quickly understood what she was seeing thing.

She faced the world of the fire element directly, and faced the most violent and dangerous field in the elemental world.

"Find a place to hide first!" The voice of the temporary team leader came from the front, and the voice of the two-handed swordsman was obviously trembling, but his order still brought vital importance to the dazed adventurer team. Vigorous, Lola and his companions finally woke up from their bewildered state, and rushed to the nearest giant crystallized stone pillar at the fastest and most agile speed in their life, hiding in the shadow at the base of the stone pillar.

"What should we do?" A druid asked nervously, "This thing... this thing is obviously beyond our ability to deal with it... we can't beat it, the only thing we can do is to go back and notify the Dragon Clan..."

"Those things on the other side of the elemental rift have already seen us," the leader spoke quickly, "There are flame walkers inside, we can't run that kind of monster on this terrain..."

Laura's eyes fell on Mordir who hid together. She instinctively wanted to ask the only mage on the scene how to get through the crisis, but what she saw made her forget for a moment what to do. say what--

She saw the old mage take out countless odds and ends from his bosom at an astonishing speed, including homemade amulets, spices for mana enhancement, finely crushed crystals, and powdered metal ore dust, which were either precious or The ordinary spell-casting medium was quickly transformed into mysterious runes in the hands of the old mage. Along with the continuous flashes, Mordir activated an unknown number of magic effects, and he also gestured to cast spells while quickly Reciting double spells in a low voice——Lola has seen neither too many mages nor too few mages in her life, but she has never seen a mage who can cast spells with this efficiency and frequency anywhere!

And what the hell is this old gentleman doing?Are the spells he uses really the ones commonly used by modern mages?

Laura stared, completely unable to distinguish the meaning of the magic symbols woven in Mordir's hands. Several other adventurers nearby finally noticed the old mage's actions, but their faces were no more confused than Laura's. At this moment, Modil finally finished a stage of spell preparation. He raised his head and looked at the burly temporary team leader, with a quick and serious tone: "We have to be careful—so I will Give you a few layers of shields..."

The two-handed swordsman who was the team leader was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ask anything, he felt an amazing sense of oppression suddenly coming from the direction of the elemental rift. Some adventurers boldly took a look outside, and immediately retracted in horror. body——that elemental crack opened completely, and a flame giant as huge as a city tower stepped into the real world through the crack. Endless heat radiated from the giant, and countless carnival-like fire elements The giant flowed, jumped, exploded, and regenerated around him, but the giant didn't care about the little things moving around him. He just looked at the desolate wasteland around him, and there was an obvious and pleasant smile on his hideous and ugly face. .

"Damn it! We are finished!" The two-handed swordsman turned pale, "That thing... even if the dragon comes, I am afraid it will not be an opponent!"

"Shut up, I'm casting a spell!" Modil's voice came from behind the swordsman, and the old mage reprimanded him while quickly outlining dozens of shimmering runes beside the swordsman, "We want Proceed with caution—I will give you another 62 layers of fire protection and [-] layers of death protection... Later, I will add [-] layers of damage reduction shield..."

Before he finished speaking, the body surface of the two-handed swordsman gradually filled with brighter and brighter radiance. He felt as if a city wall was being built on his body surface, and the growing sense of foreboding forced him to speak: "Wait!" Wait, wait, old mister, what are you trying to do..."

"It's to ensure safety," Modil said quickly, and raised his hand to push the two-handed swordsman out, "Okay, you are a melee professional, protect me after the battle starts, I am a fragile mage— - What are you still doing? You have been strengthened! Hurry up!"

The swordsman only had time to say "Ah?", and staggered towards the outside of the stone pillar. At the same time, he heard a deafening sound like a volcanic eruption from the flame giant. Full of joy and malicious ridicule, with a breath of terror: "Aha!! Look! This is the headquarters of the Mithril Treasury? These arrogant scale animals finally have their day - the powerful elemental lord is back! I want to see Look at who snatched the shield I collected with my strength from me back then, I hope they are still alive, so that I can enjoy it... huh?"

The flame giant suddenly stopped chattering nonsense, and he watched with a little astonishment a shimmering brilliance, like a bouncing pebble, stumbling out from under the nearby stone pillar, and the stumbling human He finally stopped, and looked up at the flame giant in astonishment and horror—the two guys who were caught off guard and looked at each other stared blankly on the spot, and the first to react was the flame giant.

"Interesting... I remember that this kind of canned meat is called a dwarf... or a human? Or an elf? Anyway, they all look the same, and they are crispy when roasted..."

While the giant muttered, he stepped forward. The condensed body of lava and flames exuded astonishing heat. It seemed that in the next second it would crush the glowing two-handed swordsman like an ant. At this moment, a flash of light suddenly descended from the sky pierced through the dirty clouds above the wasteland. The dazzling light made the flame giant's movements stop for a moment, and immediately after that, his huge hot body was covered by a bell tower-like Thick lightning strikes, and countless lava boulders scatter in all directions!

Lola, who was hiding behind the stone pillar, stared at what happened in front of her with dumbfounded horror. She saw the temporary leader of the team pushed out, covered with more than 100 layers of various protective spells, like a fully armed and In the humanoid city surrounded by layers, she saw the old sorcerer with an abnormal mind hiding in the middle of the team with a tense expression on his face, and the bright ripples of the boost spell were shining everywhere on his body. She saw the old sorcerer raised his arm, Afterwards, a giant lightning bolt descended from the sky, engulfing the flame giant completely.

Rather than chopping, it would be better to say smashing.

But this is not over yet, the flame giant's magic resistance seems to be surprisingly high, even though half of his body was chopped into pieces, he still struggled to crawl out from the constantly flowing lightning, while breaking away from the residual erosion of magic power. Looking up to the sky, he roared: "Who dares to attack the great..."

"boom!!!"

Another arcane ball that looked like a small sun fell from the sky. Before the great elemental lord could say his name, he went up to the sky with a mushroom cloud. The remaining half of his body was spinning and dancing in the air, and the rising air The two-handed swordsman who was closest to him was blown away directly - but the layers of protective spells kept the swordsman unscathed, he just turned somersaults in the air, and saw half of the flame giant His body hit the ground hard, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw the terrifying old mage crouching down and hiding under a nearby giant stone pillar, while secretly casting a forbidden spell, he quickly turned his head to look at himself A glance - and a thumbs up.

"I'm XXX..." The two-handed swordsman was excited and blurted out his native language, but his voice was quickly swallowed up by the remaining wailing of the flame giant and the loud noise when the second mushroom cloud erupted.

Immediately afterwards, the giant lightning that pierced the sky and the earth, the arcane magic ball that could blow out mushroom clouds, the frost nova that could directly freeze the real flames, and the meteorite fragments that fell from the sky came in turn. In the terrifying roar that could almost tear the earth apart, The flame giant's wail didn't last long before it disappeared completely. The last sentence he left in this world was a roar full of grief and anger, which was very indecent when translated.

The thrilling "battle" is finally over. The powerful fire elemental lord disappeared under the bombardment of seventeen consecutive legendary-level spells, and the elemental followers he brought were integrated into Tarrond in the first few attacks. A complex atmosphere.The elemental rift has also disappeared, and it can no longer bring new crises to this war-torn land—but Laura really doesn't know which one caused the elemental rift or the seventeen magical bombardments of old Mr. Mordir A little more damage...

The air was filled with a pungent burnt smell, as well as various irritating smells produced by the magic decomposition of the air. The adventurers came out from under the hidden stone pillar in a daze, as if they hadn't realized what happened just now Things, Laura looked back at her hiding place with a blank expression, and she saw that the old mage was the last one to come out of the hiding place - there was a faint mist on his black robe, which was hundreds of ways to increase The waste energy produced by the magic circle in the process of fading, the magic crystal inlaid on his black soft hat has a dim luster, which is the temporary depletion caused by overuse, and he still looks a little nervous, so that he came out of his hiding place At that time, he didn't look like a powerful spellcaster who just defeated the elemental lord, but more like a rice thief who was just caught from the rice warehouse...

Mordir looked around and finally confirmed that the scene was safe. He was relieved, and then saw the two-handed swordsman standing not far away—the latter was so eye-catching, with more than 100 marks all over his body. The effect of the protective spell made him stand on the ground in broad daylight like a burning torch.

Seeing the "torch", the old mage finally laughed, and he walked quickly towards the two-handed swordsman, but the latter showed a horrified expression on his face, as if he wanted to pull back immediately - but Mo Dill's speed was much faster than that of a well-trained swordsman. He grabbed the opponent's hand with a sincere smile on his old face: "Young man, it was really thanks to you just now! When a fragile mage cast a spell, I don't know what will happen if there is no protection!"

The swordsman who was the team leader looked confused: "...?"

Modir continued to hold the opponent's hand, more enthusiastic than before: "It's a wonderful battle, yes, it's wonderful. I haven't met a fighter who can cooperate with me so tacitly for many years. Last time I had I'm afraid it was a few centuries ago when I was a partner... Your skills are really impressive!"

The swordsman continued to be confused: "...?"

Chapter 1185 Traces

Successfully killed a powerful elemental creature, closed the space gap connecting the elemental domain, and resolved the crisis the team was facing—at least it seemed to be quite a crisis—the old mage Mordir seemed quite excited. After firing more than a dozen legendary spells, the powerful spellcaster, each of which was almost as powerful as a naval gun, tightly grasped the hand of the swordsman who hadn't reacted much from the beginning to the end, happily like a child.

And it took the swordsman a long time to finally confirm that the old mage in front of him was not joking with him, and the praise in his words was not meant to satirize him.

This old man is serious... he is serious...

"I..." The swordsman was held tightly by the old man, and subconsciously wanted to break free from the opponent, but he didn't even twitch his arm. He could only blush, and continued to twitch his hands while embarrassingly speaking, "I didn't help at all just now... It's all because you wiped out that terrible opponent..."

The swordsman blushed more and more as he talked, recalling his "battle process" just now, this burly man didn't even know how to speak for a while - it seemed that he was stunned when he was pushed out in a daze, His biggest feat in the whole game was being blasted into the air by the shock wave, which somewhat added a bit of interest and appreciation to the whole battle. If time could be turned back, the only thing he hoped for was that he could land on both feet when he fell... How do you say it?

The old mage Modil didn't realize the embarrassment of the swordsman at all, he continued to hold the opponent's hand cheerfully, and said modestly: "You are too humble, young man, this is not in line with your due vigor ——We all know how much a mage needs protection in battle, if you weren't standing in front, I wouldn't be able to perform so well..."

Laura on the side had a blank expression, and at this moment she didn't even have the motivation to roll her eyes, but she couldn't help but mutter in her heart—does this scary old man really need "protection"?In the whole battle just now, anyone who can breathe needs more protection than him!Even the flame giant who can't breathe looks pitiful, weak and helpless...

But she didn't dare to say this on the spot, so she could only carefully consider the vocabulary for a long time before she said: "Mr. How low-key..."

While speaking, the young huntress tried to deduce the level of this eccentric magician from the series of terrifying spells just now. She thought that the other party was at least high-level... maybe even a legend, but Her identity and strength are not very high, she has never seen what a real legend looks like in her life, and she has not even been in contact with a high-level powerhouse a few times. In her eyes, Modir's strength is like an abyss that cannot be judged. Grades cannot be measured.

So in the end, the biggest thought in her heart was nothing but awe.

"Really?" Modil was taken aback after hearing Laura's words, and then touched his chin happily (by the way, he finally let go of the swordsman's hand), "I don't have anything to do with being low-key or low-key. Thoughts, I just do what I like to do..."

"A powerful person is qualified to choose which path to take," the Druid in the team couldn't help sighing, and then smiled, "Anyway, a powerful spellcaster like you is in our In the meantime, this is everyone's greatest luck. If you are willing to continue your activities in the adventurer's camp, then our safety in Tarrond will be the greatest guarantee..."

Druid spoke everyone's heart, even Laura, who was a little confused in his mind, couldn't help secretly agreeing after hearing this, but Mordir seemed to be reminded of some vague and trivial memories by this sentence. The mage frowned, with a trace of confusion in his eyes, and at the same time whispered to himself: "You can't say that... you can't say that... you can't be blindly confident just because of your strength... you will encounter situations that you can't beat, Sometimes you just can't beat..."

"Mordier... sir?" Sensing that Mordier's condition was not right, Laura immediately stepped forward cautiously and asked in a low voice, "Do you remember anything? Are you okay?"

"Me? Oh, I'm okay, okay," Modil woke up suddenly from the trance, he blinked vigorously, and then smiled at Laura with a trace of gratitude, "Sorry, I fell into that trance again just now I'm in a good state, thanks to you calling me out. I'm fine, but some past experience and lessons came out just now. It seems that I have suffered a lot because I believed too much in my own strength, and I have been defeated by difficult enemies many times. It's a pity that I can't remember the specific details."
