When he escaped from the Demon-Slaying Valley, Ronald was already mortified. His body was covered with wounds of all sizes, including burns and scrapes. His hair was as messy as a bird's nest, and he was blindfolded with a black cloth. He didn't know.
When was it torn off, leaving only a hollow blind eye exposed in the air, which made people feel horrified when they saw it...
Fortunately, I finally escaped...
Ronald wiped the sweat from his forehead and heard the rumbling sound of water in the distance. He finally relaxed a little. As long as he crossed the Blackwater River, he could enter the scope of the Whispering Forest. The Hell Forest has complex terrain and dense shrubs.
Overgrown with weeds, it is a suitable place for sneak assassination. Coupled with the decades of operation of the Shadow Nest, no matter how many magicians there are in the Emerald Tower, they will never dare to break in randomly. He only needs to wait patiently for a few years.
Recovering one's strength may not mean that there is no chance of regaining the Demon Slaughter Valley.
The only pity is that the losses in this battle were too heavy.
The various traps that were laid at a huge cost were destroyed by scorched-earth magic strikes before they could even be used. At least hundreds of core members died. Ronald felt heartbroken just thinking about it. This was
It took nearly ten years to cultivate the direct lineage, but inexplicably lost hundreds of them in the Demon Slayer Valley...
Of course, what Ronald couldn't accept the most was the death of old Merlin.
That is a real great magician. In terms of pure combat power, he is only stronger than the fifteenth-level warrior himself. If it were not for the sudden decline of the Merlin family, he would never have the chance to recruit such a person. The fact is that
It proves that Old Merlin's magical power is absolutely the most important thing to the Nest of Shadows. Since recruiting Old Merlin, many battles that should have been extremely difficult have suddenly become easier, especially the attack on the Emerald Tower.
That time, with the secret help of Old Merlin, he almost took down this tower that had not fallen for hundreds of years without any blood.
It's a pity that old Merlin is dead...
I want to find another great magician, but I don’t know what year or month it happened. After all, not every force has the luck of the Emerald Tower. Inexplicably, they found a great wizard in their twenties.
A magician, and a monster that is so powerful that it is almost abnormal. Why can't I get this kind of luck?
When he thought of this, Ronald couldn't help but glared at his men fiercely.
It's all this bunch of trash!
The emerald towers that had not fallen for hundreds of years were captured, but these losers couldn't find what they wanted!
If he had found that thing, how could he have failed today? The big man from Oranna had personally promised himself that as long as he could give that thing to him, whether it was equipment or personnel, he could give it to him
The greatest convenience is that if you have a few great magicians in your hands, how can you tolerate the arrogance of the Emerald Tower?
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now...
Ronald shook his head, put away these annoying thoughts, and continued to drag his exhausted body towards the Blackwater River.
The Blackwater River is right in front, with the rapid water lapping at both sides, splashing mist, and ten large ships docked in the lush water and grass area. This was left behind when the Nest of Shadows invaded the Demon-Slaying Valley. Now,
Ronald was extremely lucky. Thanks to his wise decision just now, otherwise these thousand defeated soldiers would have lost at least half of them if they wanted to swim across the Blackwater River...
"Old, old, old... boss!" Seeing the Blackwater River getting closer and closer, when Ronald was about to order his men to board the boat, a confidant beside him suddenly froze.
"Shut up!" Ronald was irritated in his heart. After listening to his subordinates stuttering for a long time and unable to come up with an explanation, an unknown anger suddenly emerged. If he were not on the way to escape now, he would probably have slapped him in the face.
It's past.
Then……
A figure floating in the sky was like a basin of cold water pouring down on Ronald's head, dousing all the anger in Ronald's belly. At that moment, Ronald simply seemed to be...
Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, he suddenly jumped up from the ground and ran towards the Blackwater River as hard as he could, while desperately calling his men: "Hurry up, hurry up, give me whoever wants to live."
Get aboard!”
"Get on the boat?" Lin Li controlled the floating technique and floated quietly above the Blackwater River, watching Ronald shouting at the top of his lungs and watching the members of the Nest of Shadows scrambling to board the big boat.
The Sky Staff was held tightly in his hand. The pale yellow dragon's eye gemstone was sparkling. The magic lines all over the staff were showing violent magic fluctuations. The magic power Lin Li input into it was constantly being amplified and purified. Finally,
Transformed into the purest magical power and slowly released...
The complex and lengthy chanting of spells is like gurgling water, mysterious and solemn. The endless ice magic elements are rolling over the Blackwater River. Thick dark clouds cover the sky and the sun, as if a storm is coming.
Like the night before, rolling thunder flashed from time to time, and streaks of lightning were like golden snakes, tearing open the sky with a crash. The edge of the thick dark clouds was coated with a gorgeous layer of gold. The black water river below was still rushing, and the waves were coming again and again.
It slapped both sides of the bank again and again, and under the diffuse mist, all you could see was a doomsday scene.
Lin Li's chanting of mantras is getting faster and faster...
"It's over..." Ronald's eyes were dull. The figure holding the staff in the sky was like the god of death wielding a scythe. In the weather in July, there was heavy snow floating in the sky, the kind of icy cold...
The chill made Ronald's heart clench tightly. At this moment, Ronald suddenly realized that he was too optimistic. The purpose of this young magician was not to drive him out of the slaughterhouse at all.
In the Demon Valley, what he wants is a massacre, a massacre that can shock any force...
It's over, everything is over...
Ronald stood there, staring blankly at the sky, his eyes full of fear and despair.
The spell flowed like flowing water. Lin Li stared at the Blackwater River with his eyes, without a trace of mercy in his eyes. In a burst of high-pitched chanting, the last spell was finally broken. In an instant, the sky was covered with heavy snow.
Under the strong wind, it filled the entire Blackwater River. For a moment, the entire world was a vast expanse of white. There were no desperadoes in the Nest of Shadows, and there were no ten large ships that could accommodate a thousand people.
Even the rushing river became still in an instant. The world seemed to be reunited. Apart from white, there was no trace of color in the world...
Then, the whole world suddenly became quiet.
The wind was howling on the Blackwater River, but the young magician who looked like a god of death was still floating quietly in the sky.
There was deathly silence all around, and no sound could be heard except the howling wind.
Ten minutes later, the first group of magicians passed through the Demon-Slaying Valley and pursued them to the Blackwater River. However, what they saw was a scene that would give them nightmares for a lifetime...
"Oh my god..." A young magician from the Mannis family was the first to arrive at the Blackwater River. Almost the moment he saw everything clearly, he groaned as if in sleep, and then sat down on the ground feebly.
.
Then, the second, the third, the fourth...
Nearly a thousand magicians just stood there in a daze, echoing the nearly a thousand ice sculptures on the Blackwater River.
Snowflakes as big as goose feathers are still flying, and the cold wind blows from time to time. Nearly a thousand lifelike ice sculptures are just standing there quietly. Some have just boarded the ferry, and some are desperately trying.
Running towards the ferry, under the afternoon sun, the crystal clear ice sculptures looked extremely gorgeous.
At this moment, magnificence and cruelty were so perfectly combined.
Looking at the crystal clear ice sculptures, almost everyone felt a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts...
The leaders of the sixteen forces looked at me and I looked at you, and we could see the horror and fear in each other's eyes.
There is only one thought left in everyone's mind - God, this is a real massacre...
Yes, this was indeed a massacre.
Including Ronald, there were thousands of members of the Nest of Shadows, and none of the ten ferries were spared. Everyone was frozen into ice sculptures for thousands of miles. Until the moment of death, their faces were full of despair.
look.
Lin Li controlled the levitation technique and was still floating quietly in the sky. His body under the black robe looked thin and weak in the strong wind, but in the eyes of everyone, he was no different from the god of death wielding a scythe.
No, no, no, it's even more terrifying than the God of Death. The God of Death at least still has the option to harvest lives, but this young magician is an out-and-out butcher, just like the man who was one man one thousand two hundred years ago.
The same power as the great lord who shocked the whole of France, the same amazing talent, the same ruthlessness...
"Sorry, I scared everyone..." After condensing the last drop of river water into ice, Lin Li slowly fell from the sky. He gently patted away the dust on his robe, and still had a creepy look on his face.
Smile: "I gave a guest from the Nest of Shadows a ride..."
"..." The leaders of the sixteen forces were approaching with smiles on their faces. When they suddenly heard these chilling words, they all staggered in unison, and almost fell to the ground. You beasts.
You beast, you killed thousands of people with a wave of your staff, and you still smile so shamelessly. Are you possessed by the ghost of the great butcher Osric?
Of course, despite being afraid, everyone had to put a smile on their face.
"These bastards from the Nest of Shadows deserve this fate. They have been harassing Garros every year. They should have been dealt with long ago. The magician Ferre killed them all today. It is a great pleasure!"
"Yes, yes, we have been waiting for this day for a long time!"
"Magic Ferre, you are so humble!"
For a while, the sound of flattery was endless. Lin Li smiled, going in and out of one ear and not taking it seriously at all. After a few casual words, he found an excuse to leave in a secluded corner.
, and found Greg.
"Beasts, beasts, there are thousands of living people, and you actually kill them whenever you want. You don't even ask me to do such an exciting thing!" Grean scolded with excitement on his face.
"..."
"Quick, quick, tell me, how did you do it?" Ge Ruian's eyes were shining, and while looking at the ice sculptures on the banks of the Blackwater River, he asked excitedly: "Is it frozen for thousands of miles?
"|
Lin Li didn't hide it from him: "Yes."
"Is it really frozen for thousands of miles?" Grean suddenly looked blank. When he stared at Lin Li, it was as if he was staring at a fire-breathing dragon: "Are you still a human?"
"I didn't mean it..." Lin Li curled his lips aggrievedly, thinking, do you think I am willing? I still haven't understood what "immortal king" means and what "using bones as a scepter" means.
"Crown as King", do you think I have achieved a solid breakthrough at level 16? I don't know when I will be in trouble...
"Eh, that's not right..." After muttering for a while, Greg's fat face revealed a bit of suspicion: "When I was in Olanna, I also saw others perform
Qianli Bingfeng, how come you are not as powerful as you? Tsk tsk, Qianli Bingfeng killed thousands of people, are you lying to me?"
"It's not like you don't know that I can prepare a little potion..."
"..."
When Gregorian heard this, he didn't understand why. This kid must have drank some powerful potion before he cast Thousand Miles of Ice. It increased the power of magic several times in an instant, causing the terrifying situation in front of him.
Scenario, a bottle of potion and a thousand-mile ice can kill thousands of people in an instant. How could there be such a monster in this world?
"Do you still have this kind of potion? Please share a few bottles with me..."
"Stop dreaming, do you think this kind of potion can be used by everyone?" Lin Li rolled his eyes, looking a little tired: "To tell you the truth, although this kind of potion is powerful, the side effects are terrifying.
, Don’t look at me standing here perfectly fine now, but actually all my mental energy has been drained..."
"it's a pity……"
Lin Li smiled tiredly and did not continue the topic. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he would leave Garos in a week, he would really not be willing to use the spirit-burning potion at this time. The side effects would be too severe.
Now, the squeezing of mental power has reached an outrageous level. Even with my almost demonic mental power, it was completely squeezed out in an instant. I didn’t even have to rest for a few days. Don’t even think about it.
Slow down...
However, there is nothing we can do about it.
In a week's time, he will leave Garos and go to the Qingfeng Plains. Maybe for a year or two, he will not have the chance to return to this land that he regards as his hometown. After he leaves, what will happen to the Emerald Tower?
What should Grean do? What if some unsighted force comes up with the idea of the Emerald Tower?
I can only leave them a warning before leaving - before taking up the idea of the Emerald Tower, please ask yourself whether you can really afford the price of failure...
"Okay, you send someone to install the Wizard's Eye. I need to find a place to rest."
"Well, go quickly."
Grean also knew that his mental energy was severely drained, and he did not dare to delay Lin Li any longer. He just called two young apprentices and sent the exhausted Lin Li to the tent that had just been set up.
Looking at the slightly staggering figure, Grean suddenly felt that his eyes were a little sore. He still remembered that before the auction started, he had asked this young man if he was willing to succeed him in charge of the Emerald Tower.
At that time, the boy's answer seemed to be that he did not want to be restrained, but looking back, after that, everything this young man did was actually for the Emerald Tower. He had been quietly working for the Emerald Tower.
Ta does a lot of things he doesn't want to do.
"Feire, thank you for your hard work..."
…………
Greg was right, Lin Li had indeed worked hard.
He fell asleep and slept until the morning of the fourth day, when he woke up groggily. The side effects of the burning potion were so severe that even with Lin Li's mental strength, it took him four days to wake up.
Finally, he managed to digest it. When he came out of the tent, Lin Li still felt a little uncomfortable. His mental strength, which was extremely sharp in the past, still felt a little sluggish today. Lin Li stood outside the tent and tried to release two wind blades.
Then he discovered that the flow of his magic power seemed not as smooth as before, as if something was blocking it.
"It seems that four days is still too short..." Lin Li shook his head, but he was not in a hurry. The recovery of mental power does not happen overnight. Maybe ten days, maybe half a month, in short
It is a step-by-step process that cannot be rushed or rushed. When the time comes, it will naturally return to its heyday.
Putting aside the worries in his mind, Lin Li discovered that after waking up, the entire Demon Slaying Valley had been completely renewed. The rubble outside the mithril mine had been cleared away, and a group of magicians were commanding the troops from the Nest of Shadows.
The slaves taken over by the superiors were digging in the mines in full swing. Tents had been set up in the place where magic had turned into a piece of scorched earth. Hundreds of magicians brought by the sixteen forces did not end the battle.
Then he left and stayed in Demon Slayer Valley.
This stay lasted for four days.
Lin Li scratched his head and couldn't help but feel a little confused. Logically speaking, all of these people are well-known figures in Garros. It may be a bit exaggerated to handle everything on a daily basis, but it is definitely busy. There are a lot of businesses and disputes waiting for them to deal with.
, where do they get so much American time to vacation in the Demon-Slaying Valley?
"Feire, are you awake?" Lin Li had just walked out of the tent when he heard Greg's voice coming from the front.
"I just woke up." Lin Li nodded and asked a little strangely: "By the way, why don't Ysela and the others go back?"
"I have a little something and I need their help."
"Ask them to help pay?" Lin Li curled his lips, thinking that if you ask people to help, what good things can you do...
"Are I this kind of person?" Grean looked excited, as if he had been wronged. However, after he finished shouting, the middle-aged fat man couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, don't say that,
This idea is really good. I will discuss it with Ysera later. His magicians are blasting around and destroying many flowers and plants in the Demon Slaying Valley. He should pay some money..."
"You should accumulate some virtue..."
"I am helping Ysera lighten the burden, do you understand? You don't even think about it. You little brat came down thousands of miles in the ice. I don't know how many people were scared crazy. Now there are sixteen forces in Garros."
The leaders are all trembling in their tents, fearing that if the weather is bad, you will freeze thousands of miles and hit their heads with ice, and the whole family will be served in one pot. Now I go to them to ask for money, that is to give them face.
This shows that they still have some use value and will not be killed by you out of your mind. If you don’t believe me, ask them if they are willing to pay to help us rebuild the Demon Slaying Valley."
"Forget it, you keep bragging, I'll go find something to eat..." Lin Li shook his head helplessly, talking about the absurdity, ten of them added together are not as good as one Greg, so he might as well not follow this middle-aged man.
The fat man continued to talk nonsense, and after sleeping for four days, his stomach was already growling with hunger. It would be more serious to find something to eat first.
"Are you a human or a pig? Eat as soon as you wake up, and I'm not afraid of starving you to death. We'll talk about it later. I'll talk to you about some serious business first..."
"What's the business?" Lin Li glanced at Greg with a suspicious expression.
"Do I know why the Marathon family supports the Nest of Shadows?"
Lin Li scratched his head and asked with some uncertainty: "I remember, you seemed to have said a few days ago, what kind of treasure map?"
"That's right, I didn't expect you to still remember..."
"So what? Didn't you just say a few days ago that the treasure map was a lie?"
"No, no, no..." Grean looked around, and then quietly leaned into Lin Li's ear: "Let me tell you, I discovered a big secret the day before yesterday..."
"What secret is so powerful?"
"This is a coincidence..." Grean pointed to the distance: "Did you see that mine? When we attacked a few days ago, didn't we collapse the mine? After you went to bed that day,
, I found a group of people and asked them to dig out the gravel at the entrance of the mine. As I dug, I discovered that there was a problem. About fifty meters into the mine, when I dug down with the hoe, it turned out that there was something wrong.
It’s an empty sound…”
"Empty sound?" When Lin Li heard this, he immediately frowned. There was an empty sound when digging with the hoe. Doesn't this mean that there is something else hidden under the mine? Could it be that that place is?
What treasure map did Greg mean?
"That's right, it's just an empty sound!" Gregorian nodded firmly: "I have studied the treasure map carefully in the past two days. Until this morning, I can finally confirm that my previous understanding was completely wrong.
, the location marked on the treasure map is not in the Whispering Forest, but here..."
