Chapter 616 The man in black in the eyes of the white-bone giant
"I won't let you take that bone away." Russell could see this, so Rossello was naturally fine with it.
The mage in white sneered and spoke, the long whip in his hand switched directly to a huge bow and arrow, and a long arrow with flashing black light shot at the white-bone giant at the speed of lightning and thunder.
However, what surprised him was that the giant dragon on the cloud didn't react at all and just tilted its head.
Rossello's beautiful peach eyes suddenly widened... At some point, a huge gray shield appeared on the white bone giant's sharp claws.
Although he was forced back hundreds of meters by the huge power of the long arrow, the bone giant was completely preserved.
"Hmm? There's someone standing in that skull?" Aislin, who was standing silently behind him, discovered the point.
"What..." Rossello looked over seriously, and then he discovered something incredible in the empty eyes of the skull: beside the burning green soul fire, stood a mysterious figure covered from head to toe in a black cloak.
people.
This is incredible.
Even the mage who summoned these bones and undead would not be able to stand undefended next to the soul fire of these undead!
Rossello reacted to something in the flash of lightning: "The messenger of Styx?
how come?"
"Hey~" The black dragon in the cloud laughed slyly, "What? You think I will use my body to block him?
You're overthinking it... I'm not that stupid. Why can't I see that what you are holding is a dragon-slaying arrow?
Tsk tsk, treacherous little devil.”
Dreyfus's body swayed and he took a step back hesitantly.
"Is he a fool?" Carpenter's voice was a little shrill.
At least half of the great mages from the Tower of Seiya have problems... but those great mages who are not devils actually have some guesses in their hearts.
Even those little wizards at the middle and low levels who are kept in the dark will not think that the Tower of Thea is really saving the world.
They are just more willing to accept the reality that the Tower of Theia is using the title of savior for greater interests... The mages will not believe that there is really such an inexplicable miracle as the savior.
Only those who have a plan can make the mages believe that their lives may be saved.
However, devils have always been able to take advantage of human nature with ease, and Hill will not think that there is anything to despise those mages who only want to protect themselves.
Normal people, if they encounter the end of the world, save themselves first. There is nothing wrong with that.
A hero who can put the lives of others and even the future of the world above his own is certainly worthy of respect... but heroes are so precious because of their talent.
Therefore, Drifos, who is in the ninth ring, obviously knows that the identities of the great mages in the Tower of Theia are definitely visitors from foreign lands, and they are the existence of the evil camp.
He should even be able to guess something... Even if Asmodeus tries every means to erase the existence of the devil from the traces of history, a mage, a mage who can blend in with the law, will never be without anything.
Know.
Especially those nine-ring mages like the Tower of Theia who have been living with the devils for so long.
Besides, Drifos could get the Diamond of Order from the Defense Tower, how could he still not know anything about it?
Even Carpenter could figure this out, that's why she was so surprised... What was Dreyfus doing with Rossello's sudden dodge?
"Perhaps, he was surprised, and so was Rossello..." Russell said softly, "Drifus seems to have always looked down on Rossello."
"Is he crazy?" Carpenter's voice was quite high.
"Probably, in his mind, the devils in the Tower of Thea are powerful and terrifying beings, so how could he be someone's male favorite?
Especially when we later arrived at the Tower of Theia, Rossello's overly submissive behavior toward Aisling might have given him some abnormal thoughts." Russell smiled slightly.
"You have a pretty good relationship with Pat's female student!" Carpenter suddenly said something sinister.
Hilbert nodded suddenly... He said that even he didn't notice this kind of thing, how could Russell have such a brain.
"Ms. Pate probably hopes that we don't have to worry about Drifos's influence, so she sent a lot of messages here." Russell replied seriously, "Don't you know? The female mage also communicates with you a lot.
I didn't mention this, I guess I just think you don't have that value.
Besides, as a mid-level mage and a direct student of the Nine-ring Mage, she still has to bow her head and smile to you, an ordinary low-level mage, which is always unpleasant. I think she is quite unwilling to chat with you."
All Carpenter's eccentricity could only turn into nothing. She couldn't help but roll her eyes: "You don't need to say it, I am redundant."
Russell glanced at his sister in confusion, but he never cared about Carpenter's occasional enthusiasm, so he just asked Hilbert who looked back at the exchange with interest.
"Teacher, it was Rossello who wanted to plot against the dragon, but he failed, right?"
But does this also prove one thing? For that dragon, he actually didn't care at all whether the bone giant survived or not, so he could not even move his claws.
This is not just because he trusts the man in black more, right?
That means that although he provided cover for the man in black to infiltrate, they were not really part of the group... There shouldn't be anything wrong with my judgment, right? Teacher."
"Well, that dragon's target is the human heart on earth.
That man in black is doing it for his own underground career." Hilbert replied slowly.
"Underground? River Styx?" Russell immediately thought of the key point... People in this world are very afraid of the earth.
In their hearts, the earth is actually the enemy.
Even if the earth still leaves them with a glimmer of hope, when their only enemy is the earth, which could kill them if touched, they will naturally hate and complain even more.
Human beings who don’t know why the world has become like this certainly don’t understand the anger and resentment of the earth.
Russell blinked violently, remembering some of the words he revealed when he occasionally communicated with the teacher, plus what they had just guessed was the reason why Drifos's magic crossbow failed again... Russell endured
He kept asking Hilbert, who was always smiling in front of him: "Teacher, is that an acquaintance of yours?"
As an outsider, Hilbert has only one acquaintance in this world that Russell has never met... Gilbert Heinalson.
Hilbert turned to look at him, smiled and nodded: "He's really good, isn't he?"
Russell couldn't help but laugh along with him... Indeed, even such a powerful dragon is only Gilbert's collaborator, not the one who directs Gilbert.
Russell knew when Gilbert entered the River Styx.
Having become so powerful in such a short period of time, Gilbert truly deserves to be the best son of the Heinalson family over the years.
Russell smiled softly... Although he knew that being a good person in this world is not easy, nor is it appropriate, and generally there are no rewards, but seeing someone like Gilbert who insists on the bottom line, there is a pretty good person.
The ending can always give people like him who have a little fantasy about the world a little comfort.
"Teacher, if he can do it, can the great mages in the Tower of the Dead also... control these bones?" Russell suddenly remembered another thing.
Hilbert thought for a while and nodded... Although a normal necromancer doesn't have that ability, if Styx gives him permission, he should be able to do it.
And Gilbert would rush out like this. Although it may be because this bone giant is quite important to him, he will never let Hilbert's existence become a problem.
Therefore, the people in the Tower of the Dead are probably ready to collect these bones.
Although those in the Defense Tower may later take away the bones of their family members, the remaining ones are enough for the group of necromancers who live in embarrassment to create a small force.
If you think about Cyre in Toril, you will understand that they and the unwelcome existence of Styx can make the life of the country next door miserable!
"Rosello came out with this arrow. It seems that he was well prepared!" Russell sighed.
"That's not bad." Hilbert smiled, "It's also a kind of fate~"
In other words, Aisling's destiny?
First experience the baptism of the Styx, then shine in the light of dawn, and finally follow the eternal bright moon to find your own path... What an interesting life!
Hilbert turned his head and glanced at Russell and Carpenter, who were discussing with great interest... It's better than letting a few children with nothing get involved in this bullshit life, and being dragged in who knows which direction.
The huge waves that come in are powerful enough to sweep you away, right?
——
"Haha~ Why...are you stunned there?" The black dragon's voice echoed through the sky, "You didn't come out with just a dragon-slaying arrow, right?"
‘Whoosh!’
A sharp giant arrow rushed from a distance directly towards the cloud head where the black dragon was... Judging from the direction, it should be heading towards the heart below the dragon's neck.
Although the position of the dragon's heart is roughly the same, there is actually a big difference, and the keel on the chest is also different in size, so the person who attacked it probably had to observe it for a long time before he dared to shoot it with certainty.
But Hilbert recognized it at a glance. He chose the position according to the inertia of the black dragon.
If you choose the wrong one, you will naturally be laughed at loudly by that mean-mouthed black dragon.
"Hahaha~ Who told you that the black dragon's reverse scales are all on the chest?" Although he didn't dodge the long arrow, he didn't seem to feel any pain. The black dragon looked up to the sky and laughed.
