Blooming Tower of the West Wind

"What! Doesn't that mean that Priest Raphael won't come?" The mayor stepped back a bit, and even the man and the chair fell down.

Virgil gave him a quick hand to keep him from hitting the ground.

"Yeah, he's still in prison. The Holy See is very dirty. People like Raphael can't handle it."

"Then what to do! Then what to do!" The mayor excitedly shook Virgil's hand, "What if the monster destroys the town? The priest said his spells can only last three years, three years! It's almost here! "

Finally willing to say it, a stone in Virgil's heart fell to the ground.He sat back on his seat and comforted him: "I'm a witcher, maybe I can help a little bit. Tell me what's going on?"

The mayor took off his hat, touched his bald head, and sighed: "You are a witcher. Maybe you have heard of it. There was an incident of demonic beasts in the past, which attracted many demonhunters. But in our town!"

Virgil was attracted by the news that this monster disappeared in Duolu Town strangely, and disappeared without a trace. Legend has it that the priest Raphael came here and subdued the monster, but Raphael himself kept secret about it. He refuses to disclose any information.

"Ah, I seem to have heard about it, but it wasn't Priest Raphael who brought the monster..."

The mayor looked very frustrated, "No... the priest led it to an abandoned underground temple, and then expelled all the elements..."

"Ah..." The expulsion spell is a spell unique to the priest. It uses the power of the holy light to banish the elements in the entire area back to the element interface. Most of the monsters use elemental spells. If there is no element power to borrow, the monsters are only a little more powerful The beast.

"How long did you say his expulsion spell would last?"

"Three years, it's almost here! When will he, the priest, come out?"

"Maybe forever. Maybe he's forgotten."

"You are a demon hunter, right! Think of a way! I can... I can give you all the deposit that Priest Raphael gave me! There... there are as many as fifty gold coins!!!"

"Well, I've got to see it for all that money. I've heard of it. I've heard it blows whole rocks apart."

"Yes, yes!" The mayor blushed, "Your bow doesn't look cheap, you must be very powerful!"

"In that case, I'll go with you to see what fifty gold coins look like..."

Virgil stood up, straightened his braces, waited for the mayor to pay the money, and walked out together.

"The moonlight is so beautiful..." Virgil admired, but the mayor said, "The place we are going to is underground."

"Oh... isn't the other party a werewolf?"

"No, but it's about the same."

When they left the town, the mayor took out a windproof lamp, held it in his hand, and walked ahead until they reached a deserted ruin.

"These stones are..."

"The stone of the temple, the temple is the temple of the sun god."

Of course Virgil recognized the statue of the servant of the Sun God who fell on the side of the road just now, but some stones here are very precious, which is probably why Raphael chose this place.

There is a big hole in the middle of the temple, Virgil glanced down and asked, "Won't it come out?"

The mayor said: "No, there is an enchantment left by the priest at the entrance of the cave. Anyway, it is still inside."

Virgil reached out his hand and touched the barrier. These low-purity sunstones maintained the sacred spells that had a short duration. Virgil reached into the barrier and threw a torch down the hole. The torch fell into the hole and illuminated Lighted the deep hole, motionless at the end.

Virgil narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's in it...why is there a bowl?"

"...I let it go."

Virgil turned to look at the mayor: "Are you still feeding it?"

"I, I, I received a deposit from Priest Raphael! You have to take good care of it, don't you?"

"There are still bones..."

"Later, I thought it was too dangerous, so I fed it raw, and ran away if I lost it."

Virgil has a pair of eagle eyes and can see things far away. He tried to identify with a torch, "Well... there are quite a few, lamb bones, cow legs, my God, there seem to be green rats..."

"Qing, Qingshu? You must have run in by yourself. I can't beat this thing..."

"If it's the monster that created the 'Ketler Elemental Riot', it's very easy to eat the green rat..." Virgil took out his bow, put an arrow on it and shot it in. The arrow's tail feathers spread out, saying After uttering a simple incantation, a light mirror appeared in front of him, and it actually showed the inside of the cave.

Empty,

"It's deep inside," said the mayor, "so big that no one can tell where it goes."

Virgil walked in and looked around, "At least it's a dead end, isn't it? This monster has never left. By the way, how are you sure it hasn't left?"

"From time to time," the mayor lowered his voice, already holding a sword in his hand, "When I come to deliver food, I can hear explosions underground."

"But... isn't the element being exiled?"

The mayor said: "Come on, demon hunters, you can use more spells than us warriors. Elements flow from places with high concentrations to places with low concentrations. This is still underground."

"Ha, that's right." Virgil held up an arrow, the arrow's tail feathers emitting a soft light.Most of the arrows carried by the witcher have spells or weapons attached to them. Elemental spells require elements to be triggered, but light spells become extremely bright in this place full of holy light. In the case of casting, serious light spillage also occurred, and it happened to be used instead of the torch.

Suddenly Virgil waved his hand, stopped and set the arrow to release the string. He completed the shooting action in an instant, and the feathered arrow flew out, only to hear a series of chirping noises. Under the re-shine of the Holy Light, he saw his arrow clearly Nailed a mouse.

The mayor also breathed a sigh of relief, "Don't be nervous, young man."

"Aren't you nervous? Shhh... I think there's something nearby—"

Before he could finish his words, he felt his feet vibrate. He pushed the mayor away and rolled to the side with his own strength. Immediately afterwards, the place where they were standing just now exploded. Although the scale was not large, the source was unknown. , did not hear the chants and roars, and Virgil realized that he completely forgot to ask what kind of monster it was.

Explosions continued one after another, and the sun stone above his head was still peeling off, and the stalagmites fell to the ground. Virgil had to pull down his mask and roll and dodge all the way.He glanced back at the mayor, and found that this bald old soldier was also very agile, and he was unharmed by being chased and smashed by the stones.

"Hey! Old man! What kind of monster is this!"

"Human form!"

"Human form?" Virgil was stunned for a moment. Human-shaped monsters are a large category, and creatures such as half-orcs, black gnomes, fallen demons, kobolds, murlocs, ogres, etc. are all included in human-shaped monsters. But there are thousands of differences.

"What about it?"

"do not know!"

Another explosion sounded, and Virgil jumped up and rolled a few times on the ground before avoiding a stone slab that was shot down.He raised his bow and waved his hand, and the three feathered arrows shot out and penetrated deep into the rock. Thanks to these sun stones, the high concentration of holy light made the three feathered arrows shine brightly, illuminating the hall in an instant.

His eagle eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and there seemed to be no other living things in the empty hall except him and the mayor.But no, there was some reflection in the corner just now, he shot another arrow, and the four feathered arrows finally fully illuminated the hall, and in a corner of the collapsed underground temple, stood a little girl.

His long black hair fell down his back, and his green eyes had a wary gleam.

"Black elf? Black dwarf?" Virgil put down the arrow, judging the type of monster.

"Human form, it's human form." The mayor finally touched his side.

The little girl's skin was extremely pale because she lived underground for a long time, but the black dwarf and the black dwarf were both black.

"Could it be an elf? But it doesn't have pointed ears. Could it be a human—" He saw the little girl raised her hand and let out a strange cry. Suddenly, there were some unusual fluctuations in the air between the two, and he hurriedly Jumping to the side, I heard the howling of the strong wind and the dull impact.

"It's humanoid!" the mayor emphasized.

Human beings must chant spells to cast spells, while monsters only need to howl or growl. No wonder the mayor emphasized that this is a humanoid monster.

The two rolled behind a large rock, and Virgil said, "I'll distract her, and you stun her. I'll go to the left."

"It, it is."

"Is there any difference?"

The mayor covered his face, "If you admit that it is a human being, can you still do it?"

"Okay, it's it, I'll go first."

The mayor grabbed him and said, "No, I'll distract her, and you'll stun it."

"Why—" Suddenly there was a rumble above his head, Virgil didn't even think about it, he grabbed the mayor and ran forward.

"My daughter is so old! I can't do it!"

Virgil looked at him strangely, "Well, I'll go. How can you distract her... its attention?"

The mayor picked up a stone casually and threw it towards the place where the little girl was hiding. The stone drew a high arc and was about to hit it.Seeing the little girl hugging her head, Virgil yelled in fear, and the stone burst open in the air and shattered into tiny flakes.

She also seemed to know the danger here, so she got up and ran to another hole. Virgil put on the string and shot an arrow, and the tail feathers passed in front of her with light. She turned around and went to the other side as she ran. Look around.

The mayor's throws were very accurate. The little girl was thrown by the stone and ran around. Sometimes the stone was blown apart, and sometimes it caused an explosion above her head. The empty hall was filled with her screams of fear. Even Virgil had no mercy People with a heart can't bear to hear it.

But he had to complete the task no matter what.

When the mayor kept dodging and changing positions and throwing stones, he quietly approached the little girl, and seemed to be only two steps away from grabbing her slender arm. Such a small child must not have much attack power, even mages are afraid of getting close isn't it?

He stretched out his hand, but the little girl suddenly turned her head, her green eyes were wide open, filled with fear.Virgil paused, feeling that he was bullying a child.

The little girl was so frightened that she closed her eyes and yelled. Virgil felt like a fly that had been swatted by a fly swatter. He was sent flying out by an invisible slap and hit the stone wall before stopping.

The bones all over his body seemed to be falling apart, the temple shook, and the four glowing feather arrows suddenly dimmed.

The mayor ran over to help him up, "Young man, how are you doing?"

Virgil coughed twice, "I can't die, but..."

"what happened?"

"It seems that the quality of Raphael's spells is not very good. The enchantment has failed, and the elements have poured in..."

He pointed to the arrow in his quiver.

The feather arrows of a witcher are usually attached with various spells, and the difference in mana pressure will cause the enchantment to emit different colors. When I came in just now, the elemental enchantment was completely dimmed, only the light arrow was abnormally bright, now the light arrow is dimmed, and the elemental The enchantment shimmered again.

"It's a trick! Oh my god, I'm afraid I'll break her." Virgil let go of the arrow, and the feathered arrow shot out, aiming at the little girl's shoulder accurately.She looked at the arrow and yelled, and the arrow with the red tail feathers actually burned into a ball of fire in the air.

As she cried, explosions continued to rise throughout the hall, and invisible air cannons hit the Sunstone, causing it to vibrate and fall.He and the mayor kept avoiding the avalanches and air cannons that came from unknown sources. Fireworks were added to the air, and the elements of wind, fire, and earth alternated. The mayor took advantage of the gap to introduce: "Kate Le Elemental Riot' was like that. But it was by the river, and there was intermittent flooding."

"Did you participate at that time?"

"I heard!" The mayor gave him a push, and the two fell down in two directions, narrowly avoiding the falling sun slab.The stone slab was smashed to pieces on the ground, and there were already large and small gravels everywhere on the ground, which made it more and more difficult for them to hide.

"I feel like she's going to blow up this place, fight it!" Virgil took out a scroll from his pocket, put it on a red feather arrow and shot it out, and ran out after himself.When the child saw an arrow approaching, he yelled and burned the arrow into a ball of red-yellow flames. The scroll was burned immediately, and the pale magic flame suddenly grew bigger and soared into the sky, enveloping the ball of flames, and a dazzling red glow appeared from the center. With the red light, Virgil ran up to the little girl under the cover of the strong light, and pushed her out. The girl cried out, and the things around her were instantly distorted abnormally. Virgil knew that this was The air cannon exploded, and the wave of the air cannon directly hit the pale Fayan, but the Fayan was not swept away, and the vermilion in the middle suddenly expanded and was blown into a cone shape.Virgil was in it, and he took a bow and shot an arrow, but the arrow actually missed.

"Damn!"

The ceiling of the cave was crumbling, and the girl's crying became more and more serious. She cried out in despair, and the surrounding elements were like brothers who spoiled their sister. Hearing her call, they rushed to her side, Virgil Feeling the strong wind and stone powder, the vibration continued one after another, and the stone slabs fell one by one.

The mayor suddenly pointed at the door and shouted: "Go! Otherwise, you won't be able to leave!"

Virgil saw that the doorway was half covered by stone slabs, looked at the little girl again, and shouted back: "One more time! We will definitely catch her!"
