Chapter 2766 2767, Inheriting the Underground World (Seventeen)
——???——
The Forest of Fallen Giants.
"[Kang Gaga——]"
After the "Rage Giant King" was defeated by Sherlock, he let out an unwilling and angry roar while disintegrating the wood, and finally turned into a gray-green tree with a vague human shape. "This guy is somewhat outrageous. After its giant sword flew away, it actually chose to pull off one of its own hands to use as a weapon." Sherlock's clothes were a little messy from sliding to dodge: "If the fight continues,
Is it going to pull off its own legs and use them as weapons, then roll them around to attack?"
"It's possible." Melina, who was not affected by the battle at all, nodded.
"I was just kidding, huh? What?"
In the middle of Sherlock's words, he saw Melina stretching out her hand towards the giant king who had turned into a tree. As she moved, streams of golden light dispersed from the giant tree and gathered together. Finally, under her The palm of my hand turned into a... about the size of two fists, as fluffy as clouds and as bright as flames.
Bright golden object.
"[The soul of the giant king]," Melina said proactively without waiting for Sherlock to ask. She read in an unexpected tone: "[The soul of the giant king who destroyed Dolan Guleg in the past.]"
"[Pankrad, the king of Dolanguleg, listened to the advice of Princess Duna Xiangzhuo and crossed the sea to conquer the giant's powerful soul."
"[The giants were defeated by the dragon cavalry coming across the sea, and were captured and brought back to the royal city. At that time, the king's face was already covered with an unknown shadow.]"
"[After using it, you will get a huge amount of soul, which can also be used to forge equipment with great power.]"
Isn't this "memory"! At that time, after defeating some bosses in the junction area, this kind of thing would be dropped. Their "item descriptions", in addition to the name at the beginning and the purpose at the end, would definitely include one or two paragraphs in the middle. Introduction to world view
, but the basics are unclear, and a complete history must be pieced together by combining a large number of related items.
However, because there was the encyclopedia "Melina the Witch" at that time, Sherlock was basically too lazy to summarize and analyze those things.
Hmm... Thinking about it carefully, it seems that "Little Melina" and "Black Lantern Clea" also have "search engine" skills, but the latter talks less and is ignored.
As for this "Pan Krad", Melina has already told his story once, but now there is an additional figure who seems to be very crucial - "Princess Duna Xiangzhuo". "What is this 'Princess'? Why should I suggest this?" Attack the country of giants?" Sherlock asked: "The living giants are imprisoned as slaves, and the dead giants extract their souls. She should know that this will definitely be retaliated by the other party, right?
.”
Although it seems that all the giants were wiped out in the end, but what was the cost? Wasn't Dolan Guleg destroyed as a result? Moreover, the sentence "an ominous shadow shrouded his face" is also very concerning.
"['Apostle of Desire' Du Na Xiangzhuo is a fragment of the 'Abyss',]" Melina looked at the "soul" in her hand, but her eyes had no focus: "[She tried every means, just to save Dolan Gu "Legg led to destruction.]" It sounds a bit familiar. It seems that there are many similar stories in ancient Eastern history. But according to the professors, they just dare not blame the king or emperor and attribute the responsibility for the country's destruction to women. cowardly act
That's all.
However, do they really seem to be the culprits in this world?
"What is the 'Abyss'? What is its purpose? Do you just want to destroy Dolan Guleg?" Sherlock asked. Based on previous experience, when a noun comes out of Melina's mouth, after it comes, it It becomes a "hyperlink" that can be "jumped". In order to avoid jumping too far and deviating from the original purpose, Sherlock usually does not ask irrelevant questions.
Something urgent.
But this time is different. The so-called "abyss" obviously has the intention to destroy the world - and it seems to have succeeded. "[When the first fire in the world was born, the shadow that appeared was the abyss, and the fire always wanted to expel it. The abyss, and the abyss has always wanted to swallow the fire. The establishment of the country and the birth of the king will make the flames stronger. On the contrary,
It will gradually extinguish the flame.】"
As expected, once it comes to the bottom setting of the world, Melina's words become a little incomprehensible: "[Countries are constantly being established, kings are constantly being born, and the abyss is constantly being expelled. In the process, the The fragments adhere to the will of the abyss and want to overthrow those countries and destroy those kings. One of them is
Duna Xiangzhuo, she doesn’t want to destroy Dolan Gurege, but she wants to destroy all the countries on this continent.]”
"Other countries were also destroyed by Duna Xiangzhuo? Did she instigate King Pankrad to launch an attack on them like the country of giants?" Sherlock continued to ask. "[Other countries also have their own fragments of the abyss,]" Mei Linna replied: "[They are, respectively, the princess of the 'White King Kingdom': 'Silent' Yarsuna, the princess of the 'Holy Wall Kingdom': 'Filthy Elena', and the 'Land of Molten Iron'
The princess: ‘Coal Bride’ Nadella.]”
Does the Abyss Shard have any obsession with transforming into a princess to bewitch the king?!
But if you think about it carefully, if reality and the abyss correspond to light and shadow, there is really nothing wrong with what they did. Just look at those kings who did marry them all as princesses.
Sherlock was silent for a moment, and then asked: "So they all succeeded?"
This is a redundant question. If they failed in the end, the world would not be like this at all.
"I don't know," Melina returned to her dull expression: "The Giant King did not attack the other three countries, and the relationship between Duna Xiangzhuo and the other 'princess' is not very good."
Hmm, is this the end of the information that can be obtained just by relying on the "soul of the Giant King"?
Maybe she really has to travel to all four worlds and get some related items so that Melina can decipher the history and summarize a way to save the world.
Huh? Wait, does that merchant carry a bunch of equipment from other countries?
"Melentilla, where are you?" Sherlock looked towards the corner where the merchant had been hiding, only to find that there was no one there.
"Over there." Melina raised her hand and pointed to the ruins where the "Giant King" had just rushed out.
Although no one could be seen because it was blocked by the broken eaves and broken walls, the super-large backpack was very conspicuous as it swayed, especially from time to time something would fly up out of thin air and land in the basket.
As expected, all his equipment came from here...
Forget it, there is no rush to obtain information, let’s bring him back to Rumi first.
"Help, help - help!" Before Sherlock was about to call him, the merchant ran back from the ruins while letting out a familiar scream.
Bang - a big sword fell in the air and was inserted diagonally into the position where Melentilla had just ran. Then, a man wearing heavy armor that was constantly emitting black smoke, holding a huge shield, and red lights coming out of his helmet. The knight of light falls from the sky and slowly rises up
The big sword then pointed at Sherlock from a distance.
What appeared next was the familiar long health bar and its name.
[The Cursed One - "Start class!"]... No, that shouldn't be the name.
