scepter

Sincere Pond is the only water source nearby, the intention of the flame-covered monster rushing there is self-evident.

His speed was very fast, but someone was faster than him. The water in the Zhenxin Pool suddenly seemed to be pulled up by an invisible hand, kneaded into a ball, and then quickly turned into a spiral water column, rolling towards the monster.

The figure of the monster didn't have time to stop, the pain of the flames had blurred his senses, he raised his neck and let out a roar, the already impressive muscles started to swell a little bit, everyone watched this scene in surprise, and then The monster's figure grew slowly, and he swung his long claws to extinguish the flames covering his body. With his movements, the flames gradually became smaller.

But at this moment, the water column controlled by magic has rolled over. The turbulent water has no chance for people to react, and it passes through the chest of the monster. The transparent pool water immediately turns into bloody water, and the flame gradually goes out, but the monster A big hole was completely pierced through the chest by the water jet, and the blood mixed with the internal organs flowed out from it. He staggered forward a few steps, and finally couldn't hold on, and fell to the ground!

Seeing that the monster was motionless, the elves approached cautiously, shot several more arrows, and finally even cut off his head to confirm that he was dead, so they were relieved.

Seeing that their leader was dead, the monsters among the rebel elves became even more confused. They were no longer satisfied with fighting in the elves' bodies, which was a burden for high-level monsters. They needed to restore their original appearance.

But it will take time to turn back into a monster's body. Judging from the current situation where they are surrounded by groups, as long as they hesitate a little, they will not only be shot to death by the elves' bows and arrows, but also be surrounded and suppressed by light magic and elemental magic.

Although the monsters were still wearing the bodies of the elves, they were quickly isolated and surrounded because they had been exposed just now. Under the command of the elf queen, they were finally shot and killed one by one at the cost of several elves .

The elf queen breathed a sigh of relief. Due to the massive consumption of magic power, she looked very tired, but she still did not forget the priest, the Duke of blood, and the mage in black who just fell from the sky like a savior.

The Duke of the Blood Race was injured in the heart. Considering the vampire's recovery ability, this kind of injury is not fatal, but it will take time to recover. The Duke has lost a lot of blood, and now he is half lying in the arms of the priest with a pale face. Heal his wounds and accelerate the speed of wound healing.

The mage in black stood by and watched.

The elf queen didn't bother the priest, but she needed to express the elf's gratitude to the mage whose name was unknown: "Thank you very much, Your Excellency, if it weren't for you, the monster might have caused extremely serious consequences now!"

The black-clothed mage glanced at her, indifferent to the queen's beauty, and returned his eyes to the silver-haired priest. "You don't have to thank me, I ruined your water too."

Then the Queen followed his line of sight and saw the half-dried Heart Pond, and a liquid that could not tell whether it was blood or water, and her grateful smile suddenly turned into a wry smile.

This is the holy water of the elves!

The wry smile is the wry smile, the queen knows very well that even if she came here for the priest, it is true that she saved the elves.It can be said that if there were no these three today, the elves might perish imminently. For this point, even if the mage in black drained all the water in the true heart pool, she would not be able to say anything.

Fortunately, the pool was not completely dried up. After the spring water flowed down from above, it could still fill the pool after a while.

The elf territory was ravaged by monsters, and the rebellious elves were all disgraced and locked in one place alone. No one could guarantee whether there were any lurking monsters among them. The Queen was busy ordering other elves to clean up the mess and bury them to death tribe, settle the wounded elves.

As for the corpses of the monsters, Yannick thought they were valuable for research, so they should be preserved first and not burned. The queen asked the elves to gather the corpses of the monsters in one place and engrave thorn spells around them, so as to prevent these monsters from "death" again. And revive."

There are many things to do in the aftermath. The Elf Queen is very busy, and Yannick has no time to disturb her for the time being. After settling the sleeping Duke of Blood, he and Chris came to the corpses of those monsters.

These corpses are beyond recognition. The leader Rochudan's body is almost scorched, and there are still some red scales sticking to his body, which fall off with his fingers, like fish scales. The other monsters have not had time to transform. If they died, their corpses were still the shells of elves, and from the appearance, there was no trace of monsters.

The original shape of the monster is not only not brave, but also ugly and terrifying. Not only are the muscles and muscles all over his body, but his face is even more weird. On the top, the ellipse is full, and Yannick clearly remembers that when these eyes are opened, it contains almost all the negative desires and greed in the human world. wrapped up.

Yannick suddenly understood why this kind of creature could have a separate plane.

Although human beings also have various shortcomings, after all, there are many merits in human nature, such as longing for light and beauty, for example, some people are willing to sacrifice themselves for friends or lovers, even other creatures on the mainland, elves, blood, dragons, etc. They also have their own characteristics.

Only high-level monsters, their intelligence is not inferior to humans, but insidious, cunning, greedy and hypocritical are far superior to humans, in their characters, it seems that there is no positive emotion at all, even the appearance is so ugly, It is even darker than the blood race created by the God of Darkness.

Yannick guessed that the Creator might have created such a race in a bad mood, but after seeing them, he regretted it, and simply threw them to another plane to fend for themselves .

But a race with advanced intelligence will certainly not be happy to stay in a plane with a harsh environment forever, and why those species that are not superior to them can stay in the resource-rich Olin Continent? The hatred, monsters need to expand, need to have more resources, and the plane of Olin Continent closest to them has become the best choice.

He relayed this conjecture to Chris, who thought for a long time before nodding: "Creative."

Yannick: "..." Can you answer more sincerely?

Chris: "These monsters are not much tougher than human bodies, and they will also be harmed by magic. This may be the reason why they need to drive humans into undead, or live on other species."

Yannick asked: "So when they inhabit other people's bodies, is there a way to distinguish them immediately?"

Chris shook his head: "If they hide their souls in other people's bodies, there is currently no magic potion that can directly act on the soul."

This is also the reason why there was no follow-up after the Holy See and the mage caught the monster last time. Humans know too little about monsters, and monsters are too cunning. Yanick deeply agrees with this point. The most important thing is that the Holy See and the mage have mutual understanding They also need to be wary of each other to prevent the other party from getting any useful information first. The cunning monsters can completely provide false information to both parties in turn for this point, and it is estimated that they will not get any results in the end.

Yannick said: "No, maybe we have been understanding in the wrong direction all the time! Monsters do not parasitize their souls on the bodies of humans or elves, otherwise this cannot explain why they can change into the original form of monsters in appearance. I have Some ideas need to be discussed with the Elf Queen, so come along!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave, but Chris held him back, and the priest looked back with a puzzled look.

"I was just waiting outside the elf territory, and it happened that the monster invaded and destroyed the barrier, so I could come in."

"???" The priest didn't understand what he wanted to express at all.

"I want to say," the black-clothed mage hesitated for a long time. He was quite distressed because he didn't know how to express sweet words, and he finally thought of something, "Fortunately, you are fine."

"Thank you, Chris." The priest's expression softened, "I must say, you have saved me many times, and so has Ans, even though I don't like some of your actions, I can't help but express my gratitude to you Feelings."

The mage in black frowned: "How did I smell him from you?"

Priest: "..." Are you a dog nose?

The mage in black is very serious: "Really."

The priest twitched the corners of his mouth and said nonsense: "Well, maybe it was during the battle just now..."

"Hickey, on the neck." The mage looked at his neck with an expression of "don't lie to me, I know everything".

Priest: "..."

Mage: "It's not fair, I want it too."

The priest is expressionless, who is fair to you?who?Julia's blessing?Or a bloody vampire?

The sorcerer looked at his face, and acted resolutely: "But I only want your kiss, Yannick, I haven't kissed you for a long time."

"..." The priest found sadly that when those light brown eyes looked at him seriously, his resistance and willpower would begin to weaken.

Blessed by the Goddess of Light, fortunately the mage himself did not know this.

"Chris, tell me, did you make some kind of contract, about me?" he asked.

"Yes, we stipulate that neither of us can do any immoral actions to you, especially without your consent, and this does not violate what I promised you." The mage asked honestly. Must answer.

Then you have been betrayed, the priest thought, and suddenly felt a little sympathy for the mage.

How can you fight against a thousand-year-old monster?

"Come here, Chris." So the priest said.

The mage walked over as he said.

The silver-haired priest suddenly grabbed his collar, pulled him over, and printed his lips on it.

"Thank you, Chris, for showing up on time," he whispered.

No matter who it is, they have never been offered a kiss by a priest.

The mage's eyes were amazingly bright.

The shallow kiss was fleeting, the priest quickly left the other party, the warmth disappeared too quickly, the mage stroked his lips, and looked thoughtfully at the back of the priest as he left.

If someone is watching carefully at this time, it is not difficult to find a trace of cunning flashing under the mage's paralyzed face.

Priest, you have deceived countless people, and you have been deceived once!

The invasion of monsters brought huge disasters to the elves. In addition to the elves who were killed and injured in this accident, there were also those elves who died in the initial betrayal and division like Sota. After this accident, it has been reduced by more than half.No leader of the tribe was willing to see such a situation. The Elf Queen was heartbroken and paid more attention to the alliance with the priest. After holding the mourning ceremony for the dead clansman, she asked the priest for a formal alliance.

If it was Yannick who took the initiative to come to form an alliance before, and the choice was in the Queen's hands, then it was completely reversed now. The Queen wished to form an alliance with the priest immediately, so as to increase a little security for her tribe.

So as soon as she heard the visit of the priests, the elf queen immediately received them.

Also present at the meeting was the Blood Duke who had just woken up.

His face was pale, but the vampire's face was like this, and he didn't look too weak, because he was the only vampire present, so the queen invited him over.

Of course, if the priest was not here, His Excellency the Duke might not be willing to come, but now the appearance of the mage made him feel an unprecedented sense of crisis, so he came here in a hurry.

In order to show his extremely weak physical condition due to work injuries, he also asked someone to prepare a blanket, and now he is half leaning on the sofa in the Queen's Chamber, looking half dead.

Although Her Majesty the Queen knew that the Blood Race's physical recovery ability was strong, she didn't know how strong it was. Seeing the Duke of the Blood Race like this, she said with a guilty face: "I'm sorry, Your Excellency Duke, your injuries are all caused by us, I hope you You can take good care of your injuries here, and there are also many natural plants and trees here that can promote your body's recovery as soon as possible."

"It's okay..." Your Excellency the Duke gasped three times, and looked at the priest affectionately: "With Yannick here, I feel much better."

Queen: "..." So infatuated, I have never seen such an infatuated blood race.

Priest: "..." I asked you to pretend to be weak and take the opportunity to blackmail the queen, not to act so excessively.

However, the Blood Duke didn't receive the priest's gaze. When he saw the mage in black coming in with him, he automatically turned on the love rival combat mode, showing a mocking smile: "Master Chris, your reaction is too slow, maybe I should Thank you for saving my dear Yannick from the sky? Excuse me, have you just looked at the corpse of a monster for a long time, and have you researched a great invention that shocked the mainland?"

"No," the mage said expressionlessly, his eloquence seemed to be a little bit sharper after reuniting after a long absence. "No matter how great an invention is, it can't compare to the fact that a generation of vampires will be pierced by monsters. I doubt that the abilities of vampires are not as magical as in the legend."

The Duke sneered, "Of course you don't understand how miraculous the blood race is, just like you don't understand how miraculous Julia's blessing is!"

Priest: "..." It's none of my business, why do you always bicker with me, why!

The mage frowned: "What is that?"

Just as the Duke was about to open his mouth, the priest quickly interrupted him: "It's nothing, Ansel Kapeln, I think what you have to do now is to shut up and heal your wounds!"

Well, whenever the priest called his full name like that, it meant that the other party was angry. The Blood Duke shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he was largely ignorant of humans.

Unable to seek knowledge, the mage turned to the elf queen: "What is Julia's blessing?"

The elf queen coughed, and never felt that the treasures bestowed by the gods to the elves were as embarrassing as saying it now: "It's just a kind of tree. To be precise, there are two types of male trees and female trees."

"Oh, I see." The mage said: "In human classics, this tree is called the copulating tree of elves."

Queen: "...well, there's nothing wrong with saying that, that's how it is."

The mage shifted his gaze to the vampire, "So, you mean, have you had intercourse with elves? With whom, did those monsters turn into elves?"

"Oh, poor mage, don't misinterpret my words on purpose, you know what I'm talking about!" The Duke squinted and smiled like a satiated cat who has successfully sneaked, of course, he is indeed a cat. "I'm afraid you will never have such luck in your life!"

The mage looked at him dangerously: "You violated the contract."

The Duke: "Of course I didn't. Yannick asked me for it, so that's not counted! Oh, I seem to have accidentally revealed some secret, dear, you won't blame me, will you?"

Priest: "..."

Queen: "..." I seem to have heard something terrible, mages, vampires, priests... Oh my god, what a messy relationship this is!

The mage looked at him coldly for a long time, but unexpectedly, he didn't lose his temper. He just walked to the sofa next to Yannick and sat down. Yannick breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Now we should talk about something serious, Your Majesty the Queen."

The elf queen quickly changed her gossip face into a serious face: "Well, yes, please tell me."

"Do you still remember what I asked Rochudan about that monster?" the priest asked.

"Of course I remember," said the queen.

"Okay, so now let's sort out how much false and true we can get from those lies of his."

"Lie? You mean, the information he provided is all false?" the queen asked in surprise.

To be honest, the things that need to be cleaned up after the war are already enough to make Her Majesty feel overwhelmed, and she has no time to think about whether what the monster said is true or not.

"Yes, let's carefully analyze every word he said. We can get a glimpse of the truth in some of the actual behaviors of the monsters later." The priest said gently, and tapped the table lightly in a persuasive tone, using his staff The top of the head lightly drew a "one" symbol of the mainland in the mid-air in front of him, and the magic made this symbol take on a solid shape in the air.

"First of all, Rochudan said that he settled in the original body in the form of soul. If this is the case, the body is still the body, the soul is the soul, it is absolutely impossible for him to change the original body of any creature into the appearance of a monster , but we clearly saw that in the later battle, because Rochudan felt that the body of the elf was too cumbersome, he suddenly reverted to the original shape of the monster. From this we can know that Rochudan is lying, the monster Combining with any creature on the Olin Continent is simply not a way to replace the body with a soul!"

"What's that?" the Queen couldn't help asking.

"I once read in a volume of classics that there is a strange art in the ancient world called painted skin, which means that evil creatures peel off the skin of a living person and put it on themselves, and then they become the skin of that living person. look, but under the skin, it's still the evil creature."

All this is speculation after all, so after Yannick finished speaking, he asked the mage in black who had extraordinary academic attainments modestly: "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Chris nodded: "It is theoretically possible for a strange soul to replace the original soul and enter someone else's body, but after entering, he will completely become the other party in appearance, and it is impossible to return to his original form. look, so your conjecture is correct."

"Your Majesty, the painted skin I'm talking about is just a vivid metaphor. In fact, it may be that after the monster destroys the original soul of the body, it fuses its own body with the opponent's body in a certain way. It can also achieve the purpose of retaining one's original physical characteristics. Well, now let's look at his second lie." The priest said, and drew a "two" symbol in the air.

"Do you remember? Luo Chudaner said that he has a bad relationship with other monsters, and because monsters are selfish in nature, they also work independently and rarely cooperate with each other."

"Yes, I still remember." The queen nodded.

"But the fact is that this sentence is very likely to be a lie, because if the monster is really as selfish as he said, then Rochudaner probably chose to run away after seeing the bad situation. Judging from the situation at the time, he It is not difficult to escape, because the enchantment of the elves' territory has been destroyed by them, and the people on our side can't stop it for a while, but he didn't, but chose to continue to attack, and just after Rochudan's death , the monsters under him also did not choose to run away in all directions, but continued to fight until they were finally wiped out."

"So we can see that monsters have a strong sense of teamwork. When they want to accomplish a goal, they will do whatever it takes, even if the price is their own life. Up."

Yannick was a little heavy, but he had to admit: "So once the monsters invade the mainland in an all-round way, but the human world still maintains internal strife, and even fights with other races, then the final winner will definitely not be us. "
