Chapter 4 Determination and the Spear of Longinus (1)
There are no "elf" level magicians in the Seven Hills Empire, not even one. Even Berengar, his level is only "natural".
Although there is only one level difference between "Nature" and "Elf", there is the most insurmountable gap between all levels. The so-called "Nature" level protectors refer to those who understand the hidden meanings of nature.
Reason, a person who makes perfect use of the power given by the gods. For creatures that live in nature and exist as part of nature, this is the ultimate level of power. The difference between them and "elf" level characters is that the latter
Able to transform nature and transcend nature like a god.
It can replace siege equipment to destroy fortifications, it can serve as a mobile fortress to protect friendly forces, it can serve as a deadly sharp knife that penetrates into the heart of the enemy... The role played by "elf" level magicians is strategic, and they can often influence a battle.
The victory or defeat of the war. Using the gifts of gods to exert power beyond nature is the "elf" level. Strictly speaking, only those who reach the "elf" level can be called a magician - the next level of "elf"
They can only be called "protected persons".
Fortunately, although the Seven Hills Empire has no magicians, it does possess a powerful weapon. If you face only one magician, Berengar plus that weapon will be enough to win.
Therefore, the key to defeating this group of pirates is to prevent Bjorn from joining Hestein.
"Go and collect some verbena for me. There is it in the garden. I'm going to make some tincture to help Bjorn wake up."
Dan ordered Ella while grinding the herbs in a grinding dish. The pirates in the castle were ready, just waiting for Bjorn to wake up and give the order.
"Note, you want red flowers, not white ones." Dan emphasized.
"The difference between red and white is very obvious, I won't make a mistake."
Although Dan did not explain it clearly, Ella has a certain knowledge of potions. She knew that the white-flowered verbena is called 'Helanor's Tears', which not only cannot wake Bjorn up, but will also cause him to wake up.
Sleep better. So it's obvious which color of verbena to collect.
She collected a bundle of herbs, carefully removed the small white flowers on them, and then mixed a few verbena with bright red flowers into it. In this way, the whole bundle of herbs would be mistaken for red flowers.
.
Dan didn't notice Ella's trick and used alcohol to extract the liquid in the herb. After a few steps of processing, he sent it to Bjorn.
The sky began to darken, and the setting sun gradually fell from the sky, pulling out a miserable sunset glow in the sky.
When the pirates discovered that there was something wrong with the potion, Dan would immediately guess that Ella had done something about it and capture her.
If her body is exposed in the wilderness, will anyone recognize her as Baselisa? Will anyone know that it was because she put Bjorn to sleep that Berengar defeated Hestein? - Probably not.
I only wish that the glory of the Qiqiu Empire will last forever.
When the evening glow completely disappeared from the sky, Dan came back.
"Bjorn, he slept soundly. You have done well and are very smart. Maybe I will want to accept you as a disciple in the future."
Dan's words were completely unexpected, and Ella's eyes opened wide. Dan continued:
"Ever since I found out that you have many alchemy books in your head, I have been wondering whether you have also studied potions. After all, alchemy and medicine are always connected. The result is true - if I really want red herbs
, just find another pirate. That guy Bjorn is too reckless. If he wakes up, he will definitely give the annoying "Run back at full speed!" order. He doesn't consider others at all.
If he really wakes up, four thousand of the five thousand people will die of exhaustion on the way. It's okay now, we can have a good night's rest first."
"Aren't you afraid that Hestein is in danger?" Ella asked in disbelief.
"Boss Hestein is very strong and will not be defeated after just one night. Otherwise, he will not divide his troops and let us attack here."
Dan yawned, and regardless of Ella's presence beside him, he fell on the bed and fell asleep. Looking at Dan like this, Ella pursed her lips and said softly in a voice that was too small to be heard:
"You smart alchemist, underestimating the Qiqiu Empire too much will get you killed."
Late at night, there was a sudden noise in the military camp. Ella followed the sound and walked outside the house, and saw everyone pointing at the sky. In the dark night sky, a luminous object similar to a meteor slowly passed across
. Its speed is very slow, like a cloud blown by the wind. But its brightness makes the entire moon disappear in the sky. Such an object flies straight from the direction of Constantiniya
flew in the direction of Brusis.
All the pirates were frightened by this vision. They were people who often sailed on the sea. In order to determine the direction on the endless sea, they all had a certain degree of understanding of the stars. In astrology, the appearance of such meteors in the sky is
An ominous sign, indicating that great changes will occur on the earth.
Only Ella understood what this light was—it was the Spear of Longinus thrown by Berengar.
The Spear of Longinus is an extremely powerful weapon. Its history can be traced back to AD 0 - more than 850 years ago. At that time, the Seven Hills Empire was in its golden age, and Tianfang
The empire has not yet been established. Some of the various ethnic groups that make up the current Tianfang Empire are huddled on a peninsula behind the desert, and some are hiding in the mountains in the east. Suddenly one day, a powerful magician appeared. He was the first person in the history of the continent.
The most powerful magician on record has the power level of 'Elven King'.
This magician declared that he was the son of God and wanted to replace the ancient polytheistic beliefs of the four countries with the only true God Yahweh. He united many ethnic groups and established the Tianfang Empire. Under his leadership, the Tianfang Empire was invincible, and no country
It can stop them from expanding outward. Even the Qiqiu Empire at its peak lost more than half of its territory under the attack of this son of God.
Fortunately, before the entire Qiqiu Empire was crushed by the Tianfang Empire, a warrior killed the Son of God, thus allowing the Qi Qiu Empire and the ancient polytheistic faith to be preserved.
The name of this warrior is Longinus. The gun he used when he killed the Son of God gained powerful divine power because it was stained with the blood of the Son of God. It has been passed down from generation to generation as a national treasure of the Seven Hills Empire. It is said that as long as it is used properly,
Longinus's gun can even exert "Great Elf"-level power. This gun has guarded the Seven Hills Empire for generations, allowing the empire to survive the attacks of many foreign enemies.
The Spear of Longinus began to fall, its speed became faster and faster, and finally it landed accurately on Brusis.
An imperceptible smile appeared on Ella's face:
"There are not more than two 'elf' classes, but they can't stop the Spear of Longinus in Berengar's hand."
She closed her eyes and imagined the scene of this gun falling from the heads of Brussian pirates. Dozens of buildings would collapse due to the pressure of Longinus' gun, and then the fire would spread to a quarter of the city.
The Praetorian Guards led by Brusius Berengar took advantage of the pirates' turmoil to launch an attack, killing the pirates and their leader, the abominable Hestein, with their swords.
