God's family

"If you want to go to the dragon ruins, please allow me to go with you!" After getting rid of the outsider Virgil, the next step is to discuss within the team.Gal couldn't wait to speak, and pressed his slender fingers on his chest. His dark blue eyes were full of longing, and even his voice was full of aria-like high-spirited, "The ruins of the dragon, there were only activities in the age of the ancient gods." The giant dragon that disappeared without a trace as the gods left the land one after another! ——Just hearing this name makes me so fascinated, if I miss this opportunity, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life!"

"My lord bishop ordered me to follow Priest Roger." Fei only had this sentence, but he also clearly expressed his position.

"...Although I know that this is going against the Wing Clan and might offend them, but I don't want to leave here at all. What should I do?" Theodore held his chin with a tangled expression.

"And me, us!" Tom raised his hand, trying to assert his presence.

"Don't even think about it!" Roger acted as the spokesperson after everyone objected, "We will send you back to the dwarves now before going to the ruins."

Tom & Ryan: "...QAQ"

Roger and the others have always been active in action, and they had already bid farewell to Virgil and left while the Wing Clan team was still preparing.

Of course, before leaving, Virgil also handed over the things he probably needed to use to everyone, and at the same time repeated the things that the Queen told him to pay attention to when going to the dragon ruins, and finally generously sent Own airship, take them directly to the dwarf tribe, and send the two dwarves home.

When Roger and others arrived at the dwarf tribe, the dwarves were in full swing with the silver wolf tribe, and the two dwarves who finally returned home did not look happy at all, and they still resented that they could not go to the legendary mysterious ruins .

"The ruins of the dragon?" Jie Nuo stroked his beard, frowned and shook his head, "I've never heard of this place, sorry, I can't help you much!"

"Where?" Roger laughed, pushing the two reluctant dwarves in front of Jeno.

"Thank you for taking care of them!" Jie Nuo pulled the two dwarfs over, looked them up and down, and narrowed his eyes with a smile.

"They also helped a lot!" Roger smiled and completed the handover ceremony, "Then, it's time for us to say goodbye..."

"Please wait!" Jie Nuo stretched out his hand, stopped in front of Roger, and smiled at his bewildered eyes... with a bit of a profiteer's temperament, "The next dragon ruin should be very dangerous, right? Maybe you need to buy a few pieces of equipment from me?"

Roger was speechless, and nodded viciously while he was bleeding heavily from his wallet—he was going to refresh the difficult dungeon, and it really needed to be replaced with higher-grade equipment to be effective!

The equipment of the dwarves is famous all over the continent, and it is also very expensive.Roger and the others were willing to be cheated and returned with full rewards. Of course, Roger's ability to choose equipment shined again, and such things as being a confidant by the amazed Jie Nuo were ignored.

Under Tom and Ryan's tearful gaze, Roger and his party boarded Virgil's airship again, and their next destination was the hidden valley not far from the dragon ruins.

All the badges on the airship that represent the Heinz family have been erased, even if it is discovered, it cannot be blamed on Vergil, and this airship will remain parked in the valley until Roger and others return safely After that, he can escape quickly-of course, this is the best result that everyone expects.

Although the northern mountains are cold, they are still covered by thick and hardy vegetation, and there are many animals with thick fur and subcutaneous fat living in them. These animals and plants gave Roger and others a good cover and protected them from escaping. The high-altitude wingman's sight.

Wherever there are plants and animals, it is a paradise for elves. Theodore has taught his companions how to use plants to hide their figures, but all spiritual animals are excellent scouts in his hands, even the wings No matter how tight the clan's defense is, they will always find a space to sneak in from their encirclement.

In addition to Theodore, another person who came in handy beyond everyone's expectations was the knowledgeable bard Gal.

The closer you get to the dragon ruins, the more broken stones are scattered on the ground. If it wasn't for Gal who could understand the unknown characters engraved on them with a half-knowledge - not so much words, but more like pictures - maybe Roger and others Like other people, they will turn a blind eye to these gravels.

According to Gall’s guess, these stones—or fragments of steles—recorded the deeds of the ancient gods. They did evil, they did good, they were selfish, and they provided shelter for their people, although the records are incomplete It is incomplete and cannot be fully understood, but it still shows in everyone's minds an ancient picture scroll that has been annihilated. The gods on it are all fresh, flesh and blood, and not as they are now, and are loved by many believers. The depiction is selfless and innocent, loving and compassionate, and flawless.

Roger couldn't help but think of the savage and jumpy Sea Goddess that he had seen in the Sea Clan Temple. He couldn't help but chuckled knowingly, and turned his head to ask in a low voice if Lycente had any impression of these records.

Lycent was silent, then slowly shook his head hesitantly.As he approached the dragon ruins, his expression became more focused and dignified. It seemed that the whole person became gloomy. Even the hands and feet that he was extremely enthusiastic about Roger for a while stopped, which made Roger heave a sigh of relief. At the same time, he was also very worried.

"I didn't know that God and their people were so close..." Theodore listened to another story recited by Gal, and sighed softly, with pure envy and hope in his tone, "Then, why They are far away from us again, so we can only pray for their favor in the temple, but we don't get any response?"

"There is always a reason. If the gods made the decision to stay away from the people, there must be their reasons." Fei Shen said, as he gradually approached the ruins and heard the ancient records, his emotions were obvious I became excited, and even talked a little more.Obviously, as a devout believer, the status of gods in his heart is unique.

"Yeah, there's always a reason, maybe we'll understand when we enter the ruins." Gala smiled slightly, and carefully put the stele fragments into his own space ornaments, euphemistically saying: Such a precious thing should not be Abandoned in the wilderness, they deserve a more revered collection.Of course, as far as Roger is concerned, he firmly believes that this is an excuse for Garr to claim these things for himself in order to be justified.

"Next, according to the records on the stone tablet about the ruins—or the temple of the gods, we should go west." Ignoring Roger's contemptuous gaze, Gal straightened his sleeves sanctimoniously, observed the surrounding landforms, and suggested .

Theodore understood, and raised his hand to touch the Baludymon that had been squatting on his shoulder.The small animal with white hair and red eyes, which had grown into a healthy medium size, rubbed against his fingers, then waited on all fours, and disappeared into the bushes like an arrow flying from the string.

I don't know what Theodore has been feeding it and how it was trained. Today's Baludy beast is no longer the cub that was so weak that it could be crushed to death with a light pinch. It is not only extremely fast, but also It is very aggressive, and more importantly, it has become a bridge of communication between elves and other creatures, and it can successfully complete every task of exploring the path.

It's a pity that this time, Baludymon came back very slowly, so slow that Theodore couldn't help but feel a little worried, afraid that something might happen to it.

After waiting for a long time, the figure of Baludy finally appeared in the sight of the eager crowd. Unfortunately, this time, the little beast looked a bit sleepy, without the spirit of showing off its power and asking for praise after completing the tasks in the past. Otto whimpered and cried a few times, then shrank and did not move.

Theodore frowned, stroked its fur lightly to show comfort, then raised his head and shook his head: "The front will soon reach the ancient magic circle in the ruins, so the guards are particularly strict, I think it may be There's no way to sneak in without being noticed."

"Since we'll be there soon, why don't we go straight in?" Roger suggested, "The only way to enter the real ruins is through the ancient formation. We have no other way to go."

"I'm not opposed to breaking in, but I'm worried that what Virgil said is true only the king of the Wing Clan knows how to drive the ancient magic circle." Gall pondered, "If we don't solve this problem, breaking in can only be a dead end one."

"I think, I probably know what to do." Just as everyone was worrying about the ancient magic circle, Laycent, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.For a moment, all eyes were on him, but Lycent just looked at Roger, as if begging him to believe him this time.

"...Well, if you insist." Although Roger himself tends to be more cautious before acting, he has never been able to survive the impulsive Lycente-although every time his impulsiveness will cause trouble, he will always be in trouble. Can achieve what you want, turn bad luck into good luck.

"Hey, you can compare Jin Jian's life and death with the same bed, but please think about us people?" Theodore rubbed his forehead weakly.

"You don't have to go." Laycent gave him an indifferent look, and said unceremoniously, "Roger is enough for me."

The despised elf prince immediately expressed a rich expression.

"Sorry, I'm about to hinder your honeymoon journey." Gal tied up his somewhat obstructive robe, and hugged the precious lyre tightly, "I have proved that I am very useful, so please protect me as much as possible." I."

"...Are you serious?" Theodore looked at Gal with some concern. Although he also loved adventure and mysterious things, he was burdened with the future of the elves, and he would face such a burden. Stand still in times of danger.

"I think, you can also feel it? The specialness of Lacente." Gal smiled easily, "If there is someone among us who can unravel this ancient formation, I would rather believe this person It's Nexant."

Theodore is still hesitating, he is not sure whether he can bear the result of such a risky risk with no cards.Then, he saw Fei who had drawn out his long sword and was ready to fight.

"Okay, okay, then I'll be self-willed for a while, and I won't allow me to be the only deserter at this moment." In the end, youthful impulse, curiosity about the age of ancient gods, and elves' pride overcame the burden on their shoulders. Responsibility, Theodore held the bow and arrow in his hands-people always have the spirit of adventure, even the elves are no exception.

After unifying the opinions, the next step was much easier. Theodore directed Baludymon to find a road with the weakest defense. After the sneak attack succeeded, Roger and his party appeared in front of the unsuspecting Wing Clan.

Although they got the upper hand, the wingmen sent here to serve as guards are obviously the elites of the ethnic group.After a moment of panic, they quickly organized an effective resistance. On the one hand, they resisted the intruders, and on the other hand, they sounded an alarm to remind their companions to be careful of the intruders, and called for reinforcements.

"Quick battles, don't fall in love with battles, our goal is the magic circle!" Garr reminded in a low voice, the smooth music flowing between fingers fluttered, but it was no longer melodious and melodious, but brought a fierce and high-spirited battle meaning.

Roger suddenly felt that his body was full of strength. When he raised his hand, the high-level wind spell [Wind Loss], which could only be used with great difficulty, was released extremely smoothly, hindering all the Wing Clan flying in the air with their wings. , throwing them off balance.

Water can carry a boat, and it can also overturn it. The pride of the Wing Clan is that they have wings and can ride against the wind, but what if the wind is controlled by the enemy?

Seeing that the blow was successful and his body didn't feel burdened, coupled with the large number of enemies, Roger became ruthless and began to prepare higher-level wind spells.

The turbulent airflow caused the arrows shot by the Wingmen to lose their direction. The Wing warriors who had to give up their bows and arrows leaned down with spears in their hands, and the mages of the Wing tribe also began to chant spells to resist the airflow caused by Roger. swirl.

Fei dutifully resisted in front of Roger. Although he was a little surprised why he, as a priest, could use advanced wind spells, his duty was only to protect Roger and assist him in completing his tasks, and he would not interfere. superfluous things.

As an archer, Theodore was also restricted by Roger's wind spell, so he had no choice but to pull out his dagger and join the melee. Fortunately, he was quick and able to drive the surrounding plants without singing, and he was still at ease .

Roger, Fei, and Theodore resisted most of the attacks for the time being, and gave Lacent and Gall time to find a breakthrough in the ancient magic circle. Trouble.Swinging the sword to kill the Wing Warriors who rushed forward, the blood splashed out stained the broken magic circle, Laycent's pupils shrank suddenly, as if something flashed in his mind, the killing , blood, corpses, endless resentment and wailing, and remorse... But, before he had time to find out what that meant, he raised his voice and yelled, "Come to me!"

At the same time, the chanting of the Wing Clan Mage has ended, and more than a dozen green light arrows pierced the air to attack Roger who was still preparing a large-scale magic. Amid Theodore's exclamation, Fei took a step forward and stood up with a horizontal sword In front of Roger, a huge shield of holy light appeared, covering his and Roger's bodies.

The green light arrows collided with the golden shield one after another. Fei gritted his teeth tightly, and there was a painful twist on his always expressionless face, but he still didn't move half a step away.With the impact, the golden light of the shield became weaker and weaker. No matter how persistent the blond paladin was, it finally shattered into a golden halo and dissipated into the air.Facing the last two green lights, Fei used his body as a shield to protect Roger unharmed.

Roger, who finally finished preparing the spell, supported the seriously injured and fallen Fei with one hand, and held up the staff with the other hand.

Jeffrey, who was once shining in the hands of the gods, erupted with huge energy in an instant. The violent wind blade swept the entire area, and the whirlwind that easily uprooted the giant tree seemed to tear everything apart. Before the Wing Clan had time to react, their figures were instantly covered by gravel, stones, and trees without a trace.

Theodore bent over and ran quickly to Roger's side, helping him hold Fei who had lost consciousness, and ran towards Lacent and Gall.The spell just now was so terrifying that even Theodore and the others, who were not within the range of the spell, were covered with large and small wounds cut by the wind blade, and their bodies were stained with bright red blood.However, no one will pay attention to these things now. Lesant, who had been standing in the center of the magic circle for a long time, looked up and saw the three of Roger stepping into the range of the magic circle. He raised his hand and plunged the long sword in his hand into the ground. .

A red light shines from the incomplete magic circle, covering the five people in a state of embarrassment. Roger and Theodore, who were exhausted from the battle, fell to the ground regardless of their appearance, and Fei also pressed heavily on Theodore's chest. , causing the elf to catch his breath and cough violently.

Through the red light, Roger looked at the battlefield ravaged by magic.

The mountain that was originally covered by trees is now bare, and the Wing Clan that used to fly in the sky has long since disappeared. I don't know if it was blown to an unknown place by the storm or was simply torn into pieces.Obviously all this was caused by himself, but Roger still had a feeling of unreality in his heart. He couldn't believe that he just raised his staff to create such a scene.

Something, some emotion slowly broke out in his chest, Roger didn't know what it was, he just knew that he couldn't go back at all, and he was no longer the ordinary person who couldn't find it when he threw it into the crowd. The civilian boy who arrived.

Is this... the change brought about by power?
