Chapter 2765 2766, Inheriting the Underground World (16)
——???——
The Forest of Fallen Giants.
Ding ding, swoosh.
"Can you stop these 'ashes' from resurrecting?" Sherlock frowned and looked at a group of "wandering souls", "wandering soul soldiers" and "wandering ghost knights" who were stumbling but determined to pursue him, and " The "Wandering Soul Ranger" shot an arrow that was blocked by the "armor protection", and turned to
Melina asked.
"Are you sure? In that case, Rumi and the people in the mansion will turn back to ashes." Melina raised her hand, pretending to snap her fingers.
"No, then let's set it so that after the body is destroyed... it will be 'reborn' eight hours later." Sherlock thought for a moment, then shook his head.
"Okay." Melina put down her hand and said without snapping her fingers.
"Hmm." Sherlock summoned a bunch of meteorites and smashed all the wandering ghosts following behind into ashes, but they did not "resurrect" again. The "Forest of the Fallen Giant" itself is scattered along the coast and scattered inside. There are many ancient defensive buildings and towers, most of which have been destroyed and turned into ruins. Only a few of them can vaguely see their original use.
Way. Just from the tragic state of these buildings, we can infer how fierce the battle between "Roland Guleg" and the giants was. The giants whose bodies turned into trees and the "wandering souls" who had long since turned into ashes looked sideways. Testify this
point.
In order to find the son of the old merchant woman, Melina "resurrected" all the ashes she saw along the way. Many of them were birds and beasts in the forest, and many more were soldiers and knights who fought against the giants not long ago. Their initial state is similar to Rumi's "Cinder Man". When resurrected, they will chase Sherlock regardless of the difference in strength. However, even if they are eliminated, they will not recover from this "crazy" state after the second resurrection. and
Because it is "immediate resurrection", it creates a spectacle of a group of ants chasing and killing an elephant. Melina's explanation for this is that they belong to the king of Dolan Guleg. As long as the king is still in a crazy state, he will None of his minions will escape the "warp god" like the inhabitants of Rumi and the beasts of the forest.
Impact.
In other words, Sherlock has to go to the royal cities of Dolanguleg, the Kingdom of the White King, the Kingdom of the Holy Wall and the Kingdom of Molten Iron respectively, and eliminate the kings who should stay there, so that the "ashes" of this world can be quieted down.
As for how these actions can save the world? Needless to say, if they can be completed successfully, Melina will definitely know... At this time, Sherlock and Melina came to a place where half of the buildings collapsed, and the other half was still intact. In front of the old fortress, the ashes everywhere and the "giant trees" all showed that this was the last battlefield, and the so-called "last giant tree"
"People" should be here too.
"Rise up again, ashes without fire."
While Sherlock was still looking around, Melina had already raised her hand to the ashes.
Cracking, squeaking... A large number of wandering souls followed her movements and shaped themselves from the ashes, and invariably cast their hollow, glowing eyes at Sherlock.
I have become accustomed to it. It would be surprising if these wandering spirits dared to attack Melina. In short, beat them down first...
At this moment, a group of wandering souls let out an extremely frightened cry:
"Help! Help! Don't kill me!"
"?"
——
["Traveling Merchant" Melentilla]
This is a young man wearing black clothes and a black cloak, covering himself tightly, carrying a huge bamboo basket on his back. When Melina tried to awaken the ashes, he was "resurrected" together with the big bamboo basket. . This is the first time that Sherlock has seen this kind of "ash" that has consciousness right after resurrection. In order to prevent other problems after returning him to the ash state, Sherlock temporarily changed the large-scale killing effect of magic to a single target. hair
, successfully rescued the wandering ghost knights when they discovered that there was a fisheye in their team who was pretending to be a pearl. "Thank you very much, Miss Ai Lei, and this gentleman," as expected, this businessman also knew him Melina's "mirror body", but her eyesight is obviously not very good: "God, I just heard about this fortress and the giant
I suffered heavy losses during the battle, and I specially found some good goods to sell to them. As a result, their commander died in the battle and no one was responsible. They even wanted to confiscate my goods, which is really too much!"
Well...since the merchant dared to appear on the front line, the giants that posed a huge threat should have been wiped out. In other words, while he was still arguing with the soldiers, the world was suddenly destroyed.
There are other "Wandering Soul Soldiers" references, and the reason why he was able to retain his consciousness must have nothing to do with the environment, that is...
Sherlock turned his attention to his huge backpack, which was also covered with black cloth: "What 'good stuff' did you originally plan to give them?" "Oh, just some helmets and weapons from the Kingdom of the White King, breastplates and bows from the Kingdom of the Holy Wall. , and the gloves and boots from the Kingdom of Molten Iron," Melentilla replied: "They don't have any shortcomings, except that they are expensive, but that's
The buyer’s shortcomings are not those of these goods.”
This guy took advantage of the massive invasion of giants and went to the battlefield to scavenge, right?
"So he..." Sherlock, who had roughly guessed, turned to look at Melina. "Well, he was carrying equipment from the other three countries, and he was staying with Dolan Guleg's soldiers, the 'Subspace Evil God' The remaining power cannot determine which side he belongs to, so it has no influence." Melina nodded.
. They are quite polite... but it proves from the side that the "subspace evil god" cannot directly affect the world. Otherwise, this unlucky "Hongshang" would not be given up by all parties to avoid conflict, but would be abandoned by many parties.
while snatching and tearing into pieces.
"Your mother is looking for you and is very anxious." Sherlock was not interested in the armor and waved to the merchant: "Let's go back along the way we came. There is no danger on the road for the time being."
"Thank you very much. I will definitely find a way to repay you after I get back to Rumi——"
"[Roar——!]" While Melentilla was still thanking him, the entrance and exit to the open space in front of the fortress was suddenly shrouded and isolated by a large sheet of white mist. Almost at the same time, accompanied by a huge roar, the ruins of the fortress collapsed. was lifted from below, one head
Far taller and more dangerous than the giants that had turned into trees throughout the forest, the armored giants stood up from under the ruins.
"Help, help - help!" The merchant quickly ran to the other side away from the giant, squatted down with his head in his hands and shivered.
Because you sensed the aura of the soldiers from the enemy country, you woke up and took revenge?
Sherlock glanced at the tall, strong giant holding a giant sword without surprise. Its name must be the last one...
[The furious Giant King - "The hatred accumulated from countless deaths"] "...?"
