Lord Witch, please don't resurrect me again!

Darkmoon Sanctuary, Crystal Corridor, Great Library—

Clara Tevez was burying her head in the sea of ​​books and flipping through the classics. The candlelight flickered on her face. The beautiful princess already had dark circles under her eyes.

But Clara doesn't care about this, she just wants to find the "truth" she wants.

"Damn it, these books are full of nonsense! Nothing useful!"

Clara angrily threw an ancient book to the ground, and angrily pushed all the books on the table away with both hands.She stood in front of the table panting, with her hands on the table, feeling dizzy.

Even the body of the demon race can't bear this kind of work intensity.

Clara shook her head, then opened the window, and the damp and cold air poured in from the window, making her a little clearer.Clara thought to herself at this moment: This is already the seventh library I have investigated. This is known as the treasure house of wisdom of the underground people, and it is the largest library among all libraries!However there is nothing useful here either!It's been three years, it's been three full years, and the research project still hasn't made any progress.

Clara was surrounded by books, piled up like hills on the table, on chairs, on the floor... and these books were all magic books about sealing.

How can I break the seal?

When it was midnight, the fluorescent plants in the dungeon began to crave to mate, flashing a bewitching purple-red light.The light fell behind Clara through the window, illuminating the behemoth.

Clara turned her head away.I saw the dark purple magic egg hanging behind her, and the world-destroying witch Cassandra was curled up inside the magic egg, her eyes closed,

In this quiet and deserted night, Clara looked at the egg and muttered obsessively:

"Cassandra, my god."

"Your loyal believers will definitely wake you up!"

"Even if it means sacrificing my life, I will not hesitate!"

She took a sip of the refreshing potion, returned to the case again, and got into the endless sea of ​​books...

Chapter 270: God Finger City

The wedding of King Leoric and Tanakig was successfully completed. Today, the guests of all ethnic groups returned happily, and returned to their grassland tribe with the gifts from Leoric and Tanakig.

So far, this "marriage turmoil" has come to an end.

However, the impact of this matter did not end here, or it has just begun.

The barbarian envoys not only witnessed an unprecedented wedding in Wild Wolf City, but also witnessed the strength of the Northern Expeditionary Army and Leoric's courage.All the people who participated in the wedding were in awe of Leoric, and even more bragging about the Northern Expedition Army and Leoric after returning home.

Since the death of the Crow King, the tribes have been leaderless.Among them, some daring lunatics wanted to inherit the position of the Crow King, but they all fell from the throne due to various reasons. In fact, in the territory of the Crow King, no one has the ability and courage to do new things comparable to the Crow King. at the helm.So the rest of the people have been waiting and watching, waiting for the real "Heavenly Khan" to come.This person may be another barbarian king, or Leoric who defeated the Raven King. Everyone has been waiting.

The marriage between Leoric and Tanachig this time is a clear sign to everyone. Leoric is equivalent to telling them clearly: I have both courage and strength!This day Khan I have to sit.

However, swearing allegiance to a highlander is a very risky thing for many tribal leaders.If it is successful, it will naturally have the merits of being a dragon, not to mention a stable position, there will be prosperity and wealth in the future.But if Leoric falls, they will definitely be liquidated by other barbarians.So except for some small tribes close to Wild Wolf City, the big tribes are still waiting and watching. They sent envoys to test the intentions of the other three barbarian kings. flag.

However, neither the other barbarian kings nor the relatives of the crow king dared to confront Leoric head-on.Around the time of the twelfth lunar month, the leaders of various clans gave up their other thoughts and prepared to seek refuge with Leoric.

And at this moment, a barbarian man in a white cloak returned to the Crow King's territory.

And the appearance of this person will surely bring about a resurgence of the situation in Middle-Earth.

……

Winter is coming, and the northern land is being eroded by cold air. This year's winter has come very early and very cold.The lambs on the prairie had foreseen that the severe winter was coming, they grazed hard during the day and fattened up at night; the beasts on the prairie were all waiting for the coming of the cold winter, which was a threat, a test, and an opportunity.

The city of Admira is located in the golden area in the south of Middle-earth. The north of Admira is connected to the prairie, and the remaining three sides are surrounded by fertile soil. The "Yangxian River" with nine turns and eighteen turns divides this fertile soil into many small block, feeding livestock and crops.At the same time, the transportation here is convenient. The north is bordered by the land of the Lion King, and there is a canyon in the northeast that can lead to the land of the Eastern Gulf. In the south, go all the way south and pass through the land of the hill tribes to reach the Wild Wolf City.

This unique condition made Admira City well-deserved to become the golden tent of the Tukalu clan—that is, the capital of the Crow King's territory.

Admiral's palace is called "Mifendika", which means "Finger of the Father", and is also known as "God Finger Palace".

The God's Palm Palace has a long history. Its predecessor was the fortress of the "Midorena" family of the plateau nobles, named "The Eye of the Sun God".Later, the barbarian warriors went south from the Henggu Tianshan Mountains, conquering all the way and plundering the land of the plateau people, so the name of this palace was naturally changed.From "Eye of the Sun God" to "Father's Finger", the meaning is obvious: This finger will poke your big eyeballs blind!

The fact is also true. In the next 200 years, those plateau survivors who were expelled from Middle Earth and lived in the swamp never came back here again.The warriors in the grassland often say: I am afraid that this finger will not only poke the eyeballs blind, but also poke their brains!

Before the arrival of the Crow King, the Divine Finger Palace was owned by the Tukalu tribe until the 23-year-old Crow King launched a "finger-breaking coup", slaughtered all the old nobles in Tukalu, and then kidnapped the matriarch Since then, the princes have occupied Shenzhi Palace for more than [-] years.

Now, people are saying that the God Finger Palace will change hands again, and the owner is a highlander named Leoric.

Plateau people - warriors of the steppes have mixed feelings about this word.On the one hand, they look down on these bereaved dogs, laugh at them heartily, and discriminate against them.On the other hand, they are also worried and fearful in their hearts—fearing that the plateau people will really come to "recover their homeland" one day, just like their ancestors.

The more ignorant and ignorant Lengtouqing is, the more he will contemptuously look down on those plateau people, and they will even say: That is not a plateau person!They were swampmen, a vile race like lizardmen, frogeyes, and mudmen.

But the elders don't say that. Although 200 years is a long time, it is not enough to completely sweep the civilization that once dominated the thick earth continent into the dust of history.The barbarian elders, nobles, and other literate people will have some understanding of the former plateau people, and there is awe in their hearts.

Not to mention that the Houtu Continent was once dominated by the Plateau Dynasty for thousands of years, nor how the barbarians groveled to win the tolerance of the Plateau King and survive. Just one small thing is enough to show the horror of the Plateau people.

More than 200 years ago, the plateau people were slaughtered by the coalition forces of barbarians and demons, and the rest were all driven to the southern swamp.At that time, most of the plateau warriors on the Central Plains were polluted by the demons, or surrendered to the demons, and the pure-blooded plateau warriors were almost extinct, leaving only a very small part.Later, these people wandered to all corners of the Middle-earth Continent and hid them in disguise. The barbarians once believed that even if these scattered plateau people were elite fighters, their numbers were too small to make any waves.As a result, the barbarians relaxed their vigilance against them.

But soon, the barbarians paid a heavy price for this incident.

These plateau remnants are so bold!Taking advantage of the full-scale war between the first dragon king and the demons, they rebelled in Wild Wolf City. With the support of the swamp and plateau people, they formed an army of 3000 people and fought all the way to the north. They called themselves the "Thunderhawk Legion".

3000 people!Only 3000 people!At that time, there were 7 tribes behind the barbarians. The largest tribe could provide 2000 people, and the smallest tribe could provide [-] people.In other words, the barbarians can easily pull up a six-figure army.Under such a huge gap, the Thunder Eagle Legion should disappear like a stone thrown into the sea.

It should be like this.

However, those 3000 people are composed of the last royal guards, and almost everyone is an honored veteran, a hero with illustrious military exploits.Call anyone at random, and his deeds are enough to feed an army of bards.

Here is the leader of the "Ice Dragon" Knights, Kron holding the "Dragon Back Sword"; there is the white-robed ranger Jokad Mulhouse, who can control plants with his left hand and use one hand with his right hand. Sword embroidery, as well as the thaumaturgy of escaping from the ground; there is Breman, the Hercules who can lift the city gate with one hand, and he is the brother of another legendary figure "Barrel Brun"; Gate, that is a spear knight bravely crowned three armies, who once pierced the heart of an armored monster with an eight-meter dragon spear; there is "Sage of the Blade" Kales, who is proficient in seven languages, as well as snow field magic, astrology, Alchemy, medicine, philosophy, geography, astronomy, mathematics, psychology and other disciplines. He is good at using one-handed swords. He is the founder of "Assassination Sword Art". Fa Gao is deep, violent and jealous. He was once shot four times with arrows in his mouth, climbed the city wall with his bare hands while still holding a saber in his mouth, beheaded sixteen soldiers with his own hands, and then saved the souls of the dead on the spot. He is the brother of Kales...

It was such an army, they were invincible all the way to the north, no matter whether they were barbarian warriors, knights, or warriors, no matter if they were giants, orcs, or half-demons, none of them stopped their footsteps.They fought from Wild Wolf City to Yangjiaoling, and then went straight to Shenzhi City from Yangjiaoling. However, before the enemy could react, they continued northward and went straight to the old capital of the northern plateau: Lieyang City.

They came close to rewriting history.

If it wasn't for the sudden heavy rain that caused the flooded "umbilical cord river" to block their way forward, they would be able to take back the old capital of the northern border.

It was precisely because of the heavy rain that the barbarians had time to breathe, they regrouped and reorganized their teams, pulling up an army of more than 3000 people to encircle and suppress this "Thunderhawk Legion". After fighting to the death with the barbarian army, the commander of the Thunder Eagle Legion realized that there was no hope of restoring the country and was powerless, so he threw himself into the river to die for his country.Some of the rest of the soldiers followed suit, and some entered the barbarian army alone and were hacked to death.

So far, the last flashbacks of the plateau people are over, but this battle left a deep impression on the victorious barbarians.This made them realize that there is a reason why the plateau people could rule the continent for thousands of years.

Today, on the south bank of the umbilical cord river, there is still a weathered stele without words, like a dead soldier, looking at the homeland on the north bank.Someone once wanted to eradicate this stele, but Dragon King Brin learned of this and said: "That's all! Three thousand martyred warriors, can't they still get a tablet without words? Barbarian warriors are not such stingy people. "

Since then, the plateau people have never had such a "return to the light", let alone regaining their homeland, they have never even set foot on the plain south of Wild Wolf City.

until this time.

Until the man named Leoric came.

This made many older grassland people recall that and the fear buried in the depths of history.

"Why are there so few tributes for this year's autumn harvest?" The old butler of Shenzhi Palace was looking at this year's bill, frowning.

The clerk wearing glasses bent over and replied cautiously: "It's because the land around Wild Wolf City no longer pays tribute."

"Of course I know this kind of thing!" The old housekeeper glanced at the clerk, and then sighed helplessly.

"But it shouldn't be so few..." He pondered.

This old man is called Sauna Hazhuo, dressed in plain brown linen clothes, wrapped in a turban, has a bad nose, and always carries a delicate gold-plated jug; he is the old steward of the Finger Palace, and his qualifications are older than the Crow King For 20 years, he knew everything about the palace and the big tent, and basically controlled all kinds of chores.

Although the barbarians often call themselves "prairie people", in fact, they cannot be called grassland people now. Most of their land is fertile soil suitable for farming, and stable farming has gradually replaced the unstable nomadic life.This change will be reflected in the financial situation every year. There are fewer and fewer furs, cattle and sheep, etc., and more and more grain and livestock.

Sauna Hazhuo took a sip from the wine jug next to him, and the spicy liquid slid down his throat. He coughed dryly and said, "Even if it is thrown into the area around the wild wolf, the tribute should be far more than this figure! Yes! Didn’t the tribes around Shenzhi City not pay the money this year?”

Wen Shu showed embarrassment, and said: "This... is indeed as expected by adults, such as the Golden Knife Department, the Daily Department, these big tribes who were rushing to pay money and gifts before, have no news this year. As for those small The tribe, on the other hand, made a promise, saying that this year's harvest is not good, and they want us to take a break, and we will pay later when we have enough money..."

"Fart!" The old butler threw the flagon on the barrel and scolded: "Who the hell doesn't know that this year is a good year? Do you really think I'm old and blind? These guys just saw that the king is gone, so they have a twisted mind! No wonder when the Crow King was still around, he always said they were a bunch of unconscionable things..."

"But they still pay the taxes," said the clerk.

The old steward patted the thigh and said: "This is different! Taxes are handed over to the state, and tribute is handed over to the patriarch. These are two sums of money! By doing this, it is obvious that they only recognize the Khanate, but not the patriarch. After he finished speaking, he took a sip of his mulled wine and sighed: "In other words, they are waiting for the new king to come to Shenzhi City, and then come to pay tribute to show their loyalty."

"The new king?" Hearing this word, the clerk also gasped, and said, "Could it be that you are referring to... er, the plateau man?"

"Isn't it fucking Leoric?" The old man sneered, "Why, you don't even dare to say your name? You are not as courageous as a little lamb."

The young man said with some embarrassment: "What if someone becomes the new king? Is the name of the great king a random name for me?"

"What can't be done! I think I called the Crow King by his name back then, what's so scary!"

Hearing this, the document suddenly showed a surprised expression, and praised the butler for his bravery!However, when the old steward called the crow king's real name, the crow king was still just a guard with a knife in the palace, so there was no need to hide his name.

At this time, the clerk asked nervously again: "Then Leoric..." He swallowed nervously, "Are you really going to stay in the city of God Finger? Steward, what do you think of this?"

Holding the flagon, the butler touched the bird relief on the lid of the flagon with his hands, as if stroking his own child, and said, "It's really hard to say about this..."

At this time, another clerk next to him came over with a document, heard the conversation between the two, and interrupted: "What's wrong with this? Now that the king is dead, the dragons have no leader, and people from all the tribes can't afford this big one." The flag is here, and that... the plateau man is powerful and ambitious, and he is definitely going to live in Shenzhi City, oh, he also married that little fox! Do you know about this?"

The old man glanced at him and said, "I've fucking known that—I knew it two months ago!"

"So what is there to say?"

The old housekeeper said, "You all forgot one person."

"Who?"

The old butler said: "The nephew of the Crow King, Cuman Hart, known as 'Blood Crow'."

Hearing the name, the two clerks looked at each other with some doubts on their faces, and one of them said, "Master Steward! Didn't the blood crow become the son-in-law of the Dragon King Brin? He also took soldiers to fight the demons, why? Will you still take care of things here?"

"You don't understand this!" The old butler unscrewed the jug, shook the liquid in it, and said with a drunken face: "Blood crow has become the son-in-law, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't care about things here. That guy and The Crow King has a close relationship. Seeing that his uncle died and his territory was about to be lost, how could he sit idly by? Besides, you still remember that when the Blood Crow went to become a son-in-law, the Crow King was very unhappy. Why is that? Because this son-in-law was appointed by the Dragon King, and Dragon King Brin wanted to use this relationship to deepen his control over Zhongtu..." Speaking of which, the old butler saw the blank expressions of the two documents, and scolded: "Oh, You stupid idiots, you don’t understand anything about politics! You’d better pour me some wine, here! Didn’t you see that the butler’s wine jug is empty again?”

The young clerk borrowed the jug and said, "Drink less! I'm not saying you, drinking can easily delay things, my lord."

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Is there anything to delay? God means there is no king in the city now, who cares about us? Really... oh, you guys, go to the kitchen tonight and tell them to clean up the things in the warehouse Clean up, get some good dishes, let's have a big meal tonight."

"Okay!" Upon hearing this, the two clerks ran away excitedly.Unexpectedly, as soon as he ran, he collided with people outside, and the three of them bumped into each other with a "boom", and then sat on the ground and covered their heads, "Ouch!".The old housekeeper smiled and said, "Three idiots! When the plateau people come and see your virtues, you must be killed! Haha!"

At this moment, the new servant shook his head, stood up, and hurriedly said, "My lord! I have something urgent!"

"What's the hurry?"

"A few knights came from outside the city, saying that 'Blood Crow' Kuman is coming back! Please prepare quickly!"

Blood crow! ?Hearing that name, the old housekeeper sobered up immediately. He quickly asked, "What? Blood Crow Kuman? When will he come back?"

"It's today! Say yes, there are still ten miles to the palace!"

"Ouch! Fuck! It's going to kill someone!"

The old butler threw the precious jug on the ground with a "crack!", and then ran out as if fleeing.

Chapter 270: Blood Crow Cuman

Blood Crow Kuman, this name is no stranger to the old people of God Finger City, and it can even be called a vicious name.However, most of the new servants don't know him, because he became the concubine of Dragon King Brin's princess ten years ago, and he may not have returned to Shenzhi City for a long time.

As for why this man scares the fearless old housekeeper, we will talk about it slowly next.

Kuman is different from other nobles. He is a very traditional barbarian warrior. He doesn't like to live in the palace, but likes to live in tents.In his words, the top of the tent is connected to the sky, the bottom to the ground, and the middle is connected with the breath of water and soil. Men live here to be strong, women live in it to be beautiful, but the stone castle cannot see the heavenly father from above, and its feet have left the earth. If the doors and windows are closed, it will be even more stuffy. Men will become cowards if they live in it, and women will not be able to have children.

In order to satisfy his personal hobbies, the old butler hastily set up a traditional prairie tent in the garden, and at the same time invited the city's oirans, bands, circus troupe, etc. to accompany him.Then quickly mobilized the contacts around him, and invited all the nobles, celebrities, scholars, etc. that could be invited to accompany him.

A tent is a tent, but there are many things inside. Cuman Hart is not only a blood relative of the Crow King, but also a royal son-in-law.Be it gold or jade, use whatever is available.It's just a soap box, and it has to be put in a golden bowl.

In addition, it is necessary to invite the best chef to cook a big meal for him.

In his memory, Cuman the Blood Crow was a big fat man who loved fine wine and roasted lamb sprinkled with chili and cumin, which was very tasty, so he couldn’t go wrong with this preparation.According to Kuman's preferences, he asked the chefs to set up stoves and stoves on the open grass to cook food on the spot. The chefs spread the meat with a lot of spices and sauces. Although the spices for barbecue are as expensive as gold, but In order to make the blood crow happy, it is worth using as much as possible.

About the time the first coals had just been lit, the sound of horns was heard outside the city.

After hearing the sound of the horn, many guests raised their heads with surprised eyes.Because this is not the horn of the Tukalu tribe, or the crow king.The horns of the crows will be sharper and harsher, and it sounds like the howling of evil spirits from a distance, which can make people feel frightened.However, this time the horn is stronger and full of majesty. The sound is like the roar of a dragon, which makes people feel awe and worship.

The old butler thought to himself: They blow the trumpet outside the city, but I can still hear it so clearly in the palace?The sound of this military horn is very loud.Could this be the horn of the Dragon King's army?Legend has it that the horns of the Dragon King Brin's army are all made of dragon bones, and they can blow out terrifying sounds...

At this time, a crow soldier descended from the sky and said: "Everyone, the blood crow's army has arrived outside the gate, do you want to go out to meet it?"

Originally, according to the rules of the palace, people in the palace did not have to go outside the city to pick up guests. After all, people in the palace represented the royal family, that is, the Crow King.But now that the Crow King is gone, this rule should naturally be abolished.The butler thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's go now."

As soon as the words fell, the butler heard people screaming, and someone pointed to the sky and said: "Quick, look at the sky!" "What a big bird!" "Then it's not a fucking bird, it's a dragon! It's a dragon! "

what?dragon?

The old butler also raised his head, only to see a black shadow appearing in the sky. It was ten times bigger than the biggest eagle he had ever seen. Its body was covered with metal-like scales. The afternoon sun shone on it, shining brightly. Dazzling light.

What the hell is this?Dragon?

The giant beast circled in the air, and then let out a roar to the crowd below. When people heard the sound, their scalps felt numb and their hearts trembled. There was an open space.Immediately, the giant beast flew to the open space and landed slowly.As it got lower and lower, the old butler noticed that this giant beast was indeed a scaly dragon. It had a long face like a lizard, dark golden eyes, and sharp toes and claws. It has dark red scales full of metallic texture, and a vertical horn crown on the top of its head. It has a noble temperament unlike ordinary animals.And behind it is a saddle made of high-quality monster leather. The material of this black saddle has a matte texture, and no stitches can be seen. It fits the rider's body very well. Zidu, it can be seen at a glance that the thing is custom-made, and the price may cost thousands of gold coins.

Of course, these are not the most important, the most important thing is the knight on Yalong.

It was a tall and lean man, wearing a white cloak, but in terms of appearance, he was [-]% similar to the Crow King. Many people even thought that the Crow King was reincarnated and trembling with fright; , you can see the difference between this man and the Crow King - he is more energetic than the Crow King, unlike a skinny old thief who smokes too much, this person is also more noble, with a straight back and a good appearance Dignified, giving people a kingly temperament above all living beings.

Is it a blood crow?Nephew of the Crow King?The old butler thought to himself, but I don't remember him being so thin!Shouldn't he be fat?This is at least a hundred catties if you lose weight, right?

Then, the sub-dragon landed on the ground, and the dragon rider above also jumped off the dragon's back vigorously.The sub-dragon was huge and strong, and the four tall war horses combined could not match him. The monster roared at the people, and everyone in the front row ran away in fright.Seeing this scene, the man in the white cloak looked annoyed, and said, "If you are so cowardly, you are worthy of being a barbarian warrior?"
