Goddess Wanhua Mirror
Page 55
The dwarves had always had the upper hand in the early and mid-term of this war, but with the exposure of the Ratman's god-making plan, they suddenly became the public enemy of the world.In order to survive, the Ratman didn't care about the international reputation, and secretly dropped the terrible super plague directly on the dwarven land.
This detrimental move caused the collapse of the Dwarf Federation, and the population avalanche was like no one left.Coupled with the defeat of Vulcan, the divine position was deprived of the Holy Lord of Light who was only the sun god at that time, and the Earth Mother turned her back and became a hero who knew the current affairs.So the dwarves fell, and now they are reduced to the vassals of human beings.
Hume told Lude that she had visited the dwarf city in front of her more than 300 years ago, and even settled there for a while.The city is called Saranetto, which means "an anvil that cannot be knocked down" in dwarven language. It used to be a very famous workshop city in the Dwarf Federation, and it is located on a huge mine vein.
At its peak, there were millions of dwarves here. It was not only a large fortress that was easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also a super arsenal with amazing production capacity, so it became the primary target of the Ratmen.
"Didn't expect it to be here."
As the memory was continuously evoked, Hume gradually remembered many things.
In the huge cave, the visibility is surprisingly low, all relying on a very magical glowing moss.This kind of plant was introduced by the dwarves back then, and it has survived tenaciously until now, not only covering the entire cave roof and surrounding rock walls, but even covering most of the city.
With the help of the light from the luminous moss, several archers with excellent eyesight in the team found some lizardmen moving in the buildings not far away. They seemed to be the old and weak women and children who had fled in hastily before.
So they also groped along a broken plank road to see if they could find the old lizard man holding the "Book of Ashes". If nothing unexpected, the other party should be the high priest of this tribe.
After everyone approached the lizardman group, they were not in a hurry to act, but first found a taller building to observe.
There are hundreds of lizardmen hiding underground, most of them are old, weak, sick and disabled who lack combat effectiveness, and some eggs that have not been destroyed, but there is no sign of the old lizardman.
These lizard people gathered in a square to take refuge, all of them looked terrified.
At this time, a small group of lizard warriors ran over, dragged out some old people and wounded without any explanation, and drove them up.
Seeing this, Lude guessed that the old lizardman had to sacrifice continuously in order to maintain the spiritual body of the giant snake, so he planned to sacrifice these old and weak people who were of little use to the tribe first, and use their lives to sacrifice to the giant snake Taste.
There were more than 30 old lizardmen and the wounded in total. They seemed to know their fate and did not try to resist. Instead, they said goodbye to their relatives calmly, and then followed the soldiers away silently.
"It seems that the old lizard man should still be on it."
Staring at the direction in which the victims left, Lude saw a wide and winding staircase, surrounded by many viaducts with tracks. Hume told Lude in a low voice that there were self-propelled minecarts running on it. of.
"Self-propelled minecart?"
"A kind of alchemy tool, a mine cart that can run back and forth along the track without being pushed, and can transport people and goods. There were a lot of them here back then! It's a pity that with the disintegration of the Dwarf Federation, it was lost along with many skills .”
Hearing Hume's narration, Lu Dexin said that the overall regression of the world is really more exaggerated than he imagined before.
The main reason for this regression is probably that apart from the population avalanche caused by the war of gods, religious forces took the opportunity to suppress them.
Hume once told him before that most gods actually don't like mortals who are too smart, and don't want them to return to the state 300 years ago, because mortals at that time were too thirsty for knowledge!
Especially the Ratmen, they actually figured out how to create gods by themselves.
Even if this method is not perfect and there are many mistakes, it is enough to cause the gods to panic.Because mistakes can be continuously improved in practice, if they really let themselves go, they will see through the true body of the gods sooner or later.
Lude observed the terrain for a while, and felt that he could bypass these lizard men, women and children who had little combat effectiveness, run along the viaducts, and give the lizard men guarding the entrance of the dungeon a set of "righteous backstabs".
However, considering that there is also a small amount of combat power on the side of the square, reinforcements are likely to be heard from above, so we have to reserve a hand to guard against them.
"Everyone listen to my arrangement. When we climb up those stairs and reach the third stage platform in the middle, you archers and the two biggest guys will stay and use the platform to block the reinforcements below. People followed me to poke the old lizard man's butt, do you understand?"
Hearing Lude's plan, the adventurers present nodded, and even Erwin did not object.
So everyone made some preparations and started to act.
The lizardmen hiding underground did not expect that humans had already mixed in. They used the viaduct running on the rail cars to carefully go around.
Soon, everyone came to the platform of the third stage. There were only two lizardman soldiers standing guard here, who were easily knocked down by Hume's two throwing knives. Build a position.
The rest followed Hume and continued to climb up the bridge body, and they reached the end after a while.
This is the junction of the two parts of the city above ground and underground. There is an unbelievably wide hall and more than one corridor leading to the outside. Lude feels that the layout here is a bit like a train station. It seems that half of the mountain has been dug out. empty.
At this time, everyone saw the old and weak people who were brought up before. Most of them were half kneeling on the ground at the moment, and the old lizard man holding the "Book of Ashes" was also here.
I saw him muttering words, holding a book in one hand and pressing the other on the forehead of one of the old people, his expression looked very solemn.
"In the name of the great true God, offer the soul of the lamb ~ Hallelujah!"
After reciting Lude's wicked prayer, the fellow who was pinned by the old lizard man on the forehead suddenly softened and turned into an empty shell that lost his soul, and was dragged aside by two strong lizard man warriors .
In order to maintain the spirit body of the giant snake, the lizardmen must continue to make sacrifices, using the souls of the living as fuel to supply the giant snake outside.
But they are also souls. The souls of these old people really cannot be compared with the souls of young people. The latter has more abundant energy than the former.Therefore, the old lizardman had to sacrifice one every two to three minutes, and his hands almost never stopped.
According to his sacrifice rate, the lives of more than [-] lizardmen would take about an hour.
Seeing that the target was right in front of him, Lude turned his head and gave Hume a wink, and was about to repeat the same trick. He directly stabbed the old lizard man to death with a flying knife, and then the rest of them rushed up to snatch the book.
However, just as Hume took out the throwing knife and before he could throw it away, someone took the first step and killed it from the side.
"For the God of War! Go up!"
To Lude's surprise, Narad came with his men, who seemed to have entered from another passage. Obviously, the number of lizardmen was limited and they could not guard all the entrances.
Narad and his party consisted of less than 20 people. A few guardian knights took the lead, and the target was also the old lizardman.
Seeing a group of humans suddenly burst out of the passage, several lizardmen warriors nearby immediately went up to meet them. Those guarding the high priest were all elites, with iron swords in their hands, and even some patchwork armor on their bodies.
A group of lizardmen fighters fought desperately, while the old lizardman who was the high priest retreated quickly under the cover of several subordinate priests.Those old and weak people on the ground who were willing to be sacrifices immediately surrounded them, and they used their old bodies as shields to protect the high priest who planned to sacrifice them.
Thanks to them, Hume couldn't find a chance to throw the throwing knife.
"Tsk! Let's go too!"
Without the slightest hesitation, seeing that the sneak attack was not possible, Lu De quickly took a strong attack and led his people to rush up, just in time to collide with another group of lizardman warriors who heard the news and came to reinforce them.
Suddenly, a chaotic battle broke out in the wide hall.
During the fight among the chaotic army, the lizardman high priest was protected by many groups of his own race in the center, and several subordinate priests hurriedly started to do it, and deployed a barrier barrier to protect the high priest.
Seeing this, Hume quickly entered a stealth state, trying to rush up and kill the high priest of the lizardman, ending the battle, but she seemed to have offended the god of doom today, and everything went wrong.
The high priest of the lizardman reacted very quickly, without any hesitation. He suddenly opened the "Book of Ashes" and stretched out his hand to press on the page. , all the old and weak people of the same clan who protected him with their bodies died violently on the spot.
Seeing this scene, Lu De was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized what this guy did just now.
"Damn it! This old thing is good at playing!"
It was too late to say it, and the eight-headed giant snake that was supposed to be chasing adventurers outside and jumping up and down suddenly appeared in the hall.
Facing the sudden forced transition, this guy was also dazed. He lowered his head and glanced at the high priest who had just completed the "second summoning", and roared angrily.
"Alber, what are you doing, your egg whites have changed?"
"Don't talk nonsense! Kill these humans quickly."
"You guy..."
Angry is angry, but the bondage that is almost like a slave contract makes the giant snake's body very honest, turning its head and attacking the surrounding humans.
The two teams who tried to decapitate did not expect that the other party could still play like this, and the big snake that ordinary people couldn't resist suddenly "teleported" in front of them again. The mood of everyone at the moment was either fucked by the dog, or fucked by the dog!
The eight-headed giant snake that was transferred recognized Narad in the crowd with just one glance.There is no way, that robe is too eye-catching, I don't know if there are other attributes, but the mocking effect is definitely EX.
Feeling the terrifying sight of the giant snake, Narad felt that his mentality was about to collapse. He couldn't figure out why the monster was staring at him.
Fortunately, at this time, Narad also saw Lude not far away, and identified him as the chosen one of the God of Medicine Sect, and ran towards him without saying a word, thinking that he must have a way to deal with this snake.
"Oh, I'm going! You, why don't you come over!"
Seeing that Narad, who was firmly holding the giant snake to hate, ran towards him like a jerk, Lude almost wanted to curse.
Under his lure, the giant snake left the others behind and chased after it.Rather than being a little stunned, it feels more like intentional.
"Help me!"
"Help you, sir!"
Seeing the giant snake rushing towards him, Lu De also turned his head and ran away. The scene can be said to be wild and chaotic beyond imagination.
Leaning on the young man's body, Lude ran towards the passage leading to the underground, while Narad followed closely behind, followed by the stinky giant snake that was chasing after him.
Lude, who was forced to unleash his full potential, ran wildly all the way, and soon ran to the side of the passage, while running and shouting at Aina and Shanis who were waiting here to save lives and heal the wounded.
"Hide in, hide in quickly!"
The giant snake followed closely behind, perhaps because it sprayed too much before, it obviously didn't have much venom at the moment, and it only relied on a few blood basins to bite people.
Almost front and back, Lude and Narad rushed through the passage together and came to the "platform" side of the hall. The space on this side is much smaller than the other side, and there are many pillars.
As soon as the people passed through the passage, they dodged and hid behind the nearby pillars. The big snake chasing after broke seven or eight pillars in a row, and then bumped into a metal beam, bending the beam for a while with a bang.
The head that hit it head-on was obviously a little dizzy.
"Master, it seems to be stupid."
"Hush! Be quiet!"
Signaling the people around him to keep quiet, Lude knew that their strength alone was not enough to confront this giant snake head-on.
But the good news is that their strongest reinforcements are coming soon, because the dragon scales that Lude is holding in his arms are heating up, which is a sign that Ned Hogg is about to arrive!
End of this chapter
"Hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon."
"Reinforcements? What reinforcements?"
Hearing that Lude told his nuns that there were reinforcements, Narad hurried over to ask.He has now determined that Lu De is the chosen one of the God of Medicine Sect, and his strength must be far superior to his own.
In his opinion, although the God of Medicine Sect is small in scale, the goddess Evelina they believe in is definitely not as powerful as the crazy god of war Fegolai, but this does not mean that the chosen ones of the small sect will definitely be stronger than the God of God. The priests of the big sects are weak.
Because ordinary priests can only enjoy ordinary "adopted child treatment" from their own gods, when using the magic spells bestowed by the gods, they will be subject to many restrictions such as the type and number of magic spells, and nothing can be discussed.
But God's Chosen is different. What they enjoy is the authentic "son-son treatment". There are almost no restrictions on the use of magic. In a sense, they can even be regarded as demigods, who are the spokespersons of gods walking in the mortal world. .
In fact, this so-called "pro-son treatment" is not just a joke for some denominations.
Narad has been a priest for nearly 20 years, and he is also a preparatory bishop who is about to enter the high-level. Naturally, he knows some inside stories that ordinary believers do not know.
Their God of War Sect currently only has six known God's Chosen, including the Supreme Priest.Narad had heard his mentor Geralis complain in private more than once, saying that the current high-level church leaders had less and less room for mortals like them to speak.
Narad didn't want to die yet, and he thought he couldn't die!
He is the personal disciple of the current archbishop of Duran Diocese, Geralis, and the appointed next successor.The mentor has high hopes for him, and has been paving the way for his succession in the past few years.
However, not all the bishops in the various dioceses were convinced. Geralis relied on his strong personal prestige to temporarily suppress the crooked thoughts of these people.
If there is something wrong with Narad, those guys probably want to celebrate with each other.Because at his teacher's current age, it is already impossible to train a successor.
But now if he wants to escape, he must rely on Lude's strength.
Right now, Narad has the last two magic spells available, but the giant snake is still alive and well, and its strength is more than one level stronger than the high-level monsters he has seen before. It is a mess!
The appearance of this guy was the biggest change in their actions this time, so that the original "stable win" situation suddenly collapsed into the current ghostly virtue.
At this time, the giant snake was still searching for their traces in the hall, walking slowly as if deliberately playing a game of cat and mouse with them.Its eight big heads stared in different directions, and while walking around, it breathed out a strange scent of yin and yang, and attacked several people with words.
"Come out! Come and play with my old lady! To be honest, I don't have much contact with you humans, and I can't tell the difference between male and female in many cases. Seeing how shy you are hiding in Tibet, it should be female. ? Shall I introduce you to some strong male lizardmen for breeding?"
Hearing the giant snake's taunt, Lu De signaled the few people to keep quiet, it's just rubbish, don't be easily provoked by it.He estimated that Ned Hogg would arrive in about 10 minutes, so persistence was victory.
However, it is not easy to persist for 10 minutes. Although the hall they are in at this time is large in size and there are pieces of stone pillars that can be used as shelters, the giant snake is not small and has eight heads , Ya almost no blind spots.
In addition, if Lu De remembered correctly, the vision of snakes is born with infrared heat, so the darkness is not enough to provide them with cover, not to mention that there are a lot of glowing moss growing in this place, and the brightness cannot be considered low.
While talking disgustingly, the giant snake stretched its terrifying body as far as possible, and its eight heads made a "carpet search" posture in a daze, constantly compressing the activity space of Lude and others.
Fortunately, Lude also has countermeasures. Seeing that the giant snake deliberately forced them into the corner, he took out a few colorful straw figures from his arms, which were one of the small props given to Denzel's team for trial. — Virtual Idol.
And the ones in Lude's hand are improved types.
The shape of the main body of the new straw man remains the same, but the red rope used for starting is replaced by a more convenient metal pull ring, and a counterweight is added inside, so that the straw man can be thrown farther... just like a grenade !
The colors of the straw figures are different, and the phantoms that can be produced are naturally also different. Some are more normal, while others are full of Lude's evil taste.
Lude distributed one of the straw figures to everyone present. Both Aina and Shanisi knew how to use this thing, and Narad understood how to use it after looking at it.
"Do it with me and throw it in different directions..."
The four little grass figures flew out at the same time, one turned into a huge firebird and flew around before landing, the other two turned into the flying shadow stream master, and the third one didn't go anywhere after landing. He took out a ball the size of a human head directly on the spot, and started singing, dancing, and RAP.Looking at the superb movements, it has been practiced properly for more than two and a half years.
As soon as these things came out, the big snake was stunned, especially the one who started the talent show on the spot, which made it stunned for a full three seconds.
The most amazing thing about the illusion constructed by divine magic is the degree of realism. It is not a phantom without entity, but a visible and tangible spiritual body, just like the giant snake that has now been reduced to a summoned object.
Seeing that the giant snake's attention was attracted, Lu De hurriedly signaled the other three to take the opportunity to divert and leave here from the nearest exit as soon as possible.
"go!"
The group of people were not slow on their feet, and the nearest exit was less than a hundred meters away from them, and it was a small gate for people to pass through.
