Most of the Black Iron Tribe evacuated into the canyon, but their panic could not be suppressed.
"Did you hear that?"
"The dragon started attacking other tribes again. The tribes along the river are gone. Now the tribes near the Full Moon Forest have begun to migrate, and some have even disbanded."
"Disband, what do you mean?"
"Everyone takes their belongings and leaves because they may be attacked if they gather together to migrate."
Although the dragons are entrenched in the main passage tunnels outside, the Black Iron Tribe still has some small roads that can lead to the outside, but they are very dangerous and cannot transport goods.
This is how the news in the tribe comes.
The damage caused by a monster with intelligence is completely different from that of a monster without intelligence. He will actively search for and hunt targets, and he will make plans very actively, especially since he can fly, is fast and efficient
high.
A wise dragon brings more fear and chaos than any other strange thing that has ever existed in the Land of the Full Moon.
In addition to inspecting and arranging the affairs of the tribe every day, Helfas also thinks about the dragon at home every day.
The entire Black Iron tribe is also panic-stricken.
During the day, Helfas kept appearing in every corner of the tribe.
He assigned tasks and kept everyone busy, doing the same things they had done before, as if this would make people forget that the two evil dragons were at their door.
At night, the lights are on in the house.
Helfas was sitting cross-legged on a leather rug, with a picture spread out in front of him. The picture on the picture was exactly the ceremony found in the dragon's lair.
However, the ritual array alone is not effective. You must also match the spells and cast conditions to correctly use the power of the ritual to achieve the desired effect.
Helfas was summarizing all the information he had about this ritual.
"This is a ritual that allows weirdos to gain wisdom. The power comes from the pillars. It is speculated that it is also related to the seal. The specific steps and conditions are unknown."
"The dragon didn't seem to know the complete steps and conditions, so he kept trying. Those bronze statues were the product of the failed ritual."
He had been thinking about how to deal with the two dragons, and he felt that this ritual might be the key, or at least it could help him.
Herfas was so stressed that he couldn't sleep almost the whole night.
Especially when those tribes disappear and when news comes of how many more people have suffered.
He knows those tribes.
He had been there and even knew the people there.
Some of the people there are a little cunning and calculating, always hoping to get their things from the Dark Iron Tribe while paying less or no price.
Some are kind and simple, and treat them with the best things, which they themselves are reluctant to eat and use.
It took them generations or even dozens of generations to settle in one place and survive, and now they are all gone.
And every day when he walked in his tribe, everyone in the tribe was looking at him. Although no one asked him, he knew that everyone was eager for him to create another miracle.
Just like before, get rid of those other weirdness.
But until now, Helfas has not found a solution.
When one dragon becomes two dragons, it's not a matter of one plus one equals two, the two dragons are several times more terrifying.
Moreover, Herfas' previous concept of flying only existed for convenience and speed.
He also thought that if he could have a flying monster, he might be able to go wherever he wanted.
But when he actually met two flying dragons, he realized how powerful the ability of flying was.
They can attack you at will, walk away when they want, and run away when they want, but it is difficult for you to defend against them and to keep them.
They can hit you wherever they want, but you can't hide in one place all the time.
Helfas's method is to use all his strength to fight, and maybe he can trap a dragon.
But what does this do?
Even if you trap a dragon, another dragon will instantly rescue it and let it out of trouble.
Helfas's plan was deduced over and over again, but it could not completely solve the problem.
He stopped looking at the picture and moved to another angle.
"How did that dragon control that dragon?"
"Because his level is higher, he can intimidate or command lower-level dragons?"
If this is the case, there will be no breakthrough in this direction.
at this time.
The Recorder suddenly came to the door.
He saw that the lights in the room were still on, and he knew that Helfas had not rested yet.
Helfas walked to the top of the stairs, and the record officer below saluted him.
The recorder told him: "Lord Helfas, the black iron blocks are ready."
Helfas nodded: "Send the black iron to the dragon, be careful not to make any mistakes, and don't provoke the dragon."
"I made an agreement with that dragon. You can just put it at the foot of the mountain outside the tunnel."
Before coming up with a solution to the problem, Helfas decided to stabilize the dragon first.
And he was worried that the impatient dragon wouldn't be able to bear it anymore, so he sent part of it to the other party first.
Recorder: "Then I will arrange for them to be sent there early tomorrow morning."
Helfas: "Yeah!"
Helfas walked back again and stepped on the drawings on the ground to return to his original position.
But when he walked to the center of the drawing and looked down, he suddenly had a completely different feeling.
this angle.
Helfas looked at it, and suddenly he felt as if he had seen it before?
"I think I've seen it somewhere?"
He stood in the center of the drawing, maintained this position, and rotated to adjust the angle.
He tried hard to remember something, trying to find that familiar feeling.
When he adjusted to an angle, the formations under his feet seemed to overlap with something in his memory, reminding him of something.
For a moment, a severe pain suddenly occurred in his mind.
"what happened?"
His body swayed from side to side.
His consciousness seemed to have fallen into a void, separated from his body and out of touch with the outside world.
At the same time, several strange pictures flashed through his mind.
Those pictures were chaotic and disorderly, with a lot of darkness in between, and some of the pictures were extremely distorted.
The perspective is also very strange, as if you are peering into the world from a hole that does not belong to this world.
He saw a maze.
A labyrinth exactly like this ritual is located on the top of a barren mountain that looks like it has been flattened.
Just like when he stood in the center of the picture, he was overlooking the maze-like ritual formation from a high position.
He couldn't see where he was, he could only see a faint tribe at the foot of the mountain?
Or is it a city?
The screen flashed, and a second clear picture appeared.
He saw a blind woman standing in the maze looking at him. Her eyes could not see anything, but she could see him.
"who is she?"
The last picture appeared, and he saw the blind girl standing in the center of the ritual maze, and the huge ritual was started.
The other party put a huge, terrifying and weird seal like an embryonic womb into her body, and the weirdness was about to take over her body and consciousness.
but.
When she was about to be swallowed by the weirdness, she actually resisted the erosion of the weirdness.
At this time, Helfas saw a light above his head. He turned around and finally saw where he was.
He was actually on the pillar.
And on the pillar, a name is shining.
This was not the first time that Helfas had seen that name. He had also seen it a long time ago when his consciousness happened to be close to Ji Zhu.
"purple!"
He saw the blind girl named Zi gradually transform into the form of a god, then raised her head and stared at him with her newly born strange eyes.
In an instant, Helfas woke up.
When Helfas came to his senses, he was still standing there.
But when he looked outside the window, he found the sun's rays shining in. He felt like he was in a trance, and it was already dawn outside.
Herfas' mind was full of doubts, and he didn't know what the picture he saw was.
"Who is that?"
"How could I see such a scene?"
"That has something to do with my past, when I was on a pillar?"
Helfas did not expect that he had actually seen this ceremony before as the dragon said.
He was completely confused about what those pictures represented, and he didn't know where those pictures took place or who the people who appeared were.
However, the scenes and the rituals he saw conveyed too much information to Helfas about that special ritual.
Helfas immediately picked up the picture on the ground, came to the window, and wrote down what he had just seen.
He wrote very quickly as if he was afraid that he would forget it after a while.
"That ritual is a ritual that seals the weirdness inside the human body so that the weirdness has wisdom."
"Ritual Conditions."
"Special physique!"
"Blind!"
"Carve your name on the pillar."
Physique is the key. It seems that the more powerful the weirdness, the more special the physique can carry it.
The strangeness of the uterus and placenta in the picture is so terrifying. The power that blocks out the sky escapes and directly changes the celestial phenomena and rules of an area. It is really incredible that the blind woman can accommodate the other party's power.
Her purple hair seems to represent that she has some innate qualities?
Blindness is a key. Helfas only vaguely felt that the eyes also have a special meaning for dragon people. They contain a special power, which needs to be completely discharged from the body before they can master the strange power.
But one thing he was curious about was why the last name that appeared on the pillar was not that weird one, but that of the woman.
Zi, is obviously the woman's real name, not the weird one.
And the last look that the woman looked at Helfas was obviously that of a human being, not a monster.
As the leader of the Black Iron Tribe, he has met many kinds of people.
Be able to tell the difference.
"I don't know who arranged that ritual, but it's obvious that the purpose was to let the weird take away the woman's body and intelligence, but why was the woman left behind in the end?"
"Is there an accident, or is there something I haven't discovered yet?"
"Will it?"
Helfas suddenly thought of something and vaguely discovered a truth.
He leaned on the table and quickly wrote down his guess.
"Since weirdos can possess people's wisdom by taking their bodies."
"But on the other hand, can people also have weird powers in this way?"
"so."
"That ritual is not only a ritual that allows weird people to gain wisdom, but it can also be a ritual that allows people to master weird powers?"
Helfas became a little excited, and he seemed to have found the breakthrough he wanted.
"But why?"
"What's the point?"
"How did that woman do it?"
At this time, he once again thought of the name engraved on the pillar.
Finally, he wrote in his pen.
"Whether weirdness has wisdom or whether people have weird power, the key lies in the name."
"Whoever can carve his name on the pillar can become the subject and controller of the seal."
This is a completely different ritual from the Sealed Object Ritual mastered by Helfas. It is also a seal, but one seals the weirdness in the object, and the other seals the weirdness in the human body.
It's also a real name, but the ritual power activated by a real name is controlled by others.
A real name corresponds to the ceremony after activation, and you control your own destiny.
Helfas looked at what he had written, thoughtfully.
He seemed to have finally found a way to break the situation, and even knew what to do next.
However, he seemed a little hesitant.
——
There were noises and noises from the tribe, accompanied by crying.
Helfas put down his quill and looked out the window, and saw many people coming towards where he lived.
He walked down and saw business officials, agricultural officials, blacksmiths and others.
Helfas looked at the recording officer aside. What did his eyes mean? What happened?
The record officer looked a little pale and said: "Lord Helfas, the person who went to deliver the black iron to the other side of the tunnel did not come back."
Herfas's expression changed.
He seemed to want to ask what he meant by not coming back, but deep down he knew what it meant.
Perhaps, he just found it a bit difficult to accept.
Helfas asked nonsense, just wanting to say something: "Did that dragon do it?"
Recorder: "Yes."
But after asking, Helfas, who knew the answer, couldn't help but clenched his fists.
He didn't speak for a long time, and no one else dared to speak, but the atmosphere was extremely solemn.
He looked at the crying people in the distance, including women and children. They were the families of those members who escorted the black iron to the entrance of the tunnel.
Since Helfas established this large tribe, the concept of family has become popular. Men and women reach an agreement to raise the next generation together, and this is becoming more and more common.
Helfas walked over, and those people finally spoke.
"Lord Helfas, our man hasn't come back yet."
"Were they eaten by a dragon?"
"They must have been eaten by the dragon."
"It's not that the dragon will eat them. You didn't know that, did you?"
"Can you think of a way to save them?"
Voices came one after another.
The dragon began to collect "materials" again, conducting his experiment to make the other dragon intelligent.
Helfas knew that the dragon was an impatient monster who didn't know how to endure at all, but he didn't expect that he couldn't even endure it for a while.
He still had some doubts, was the other party testing him, or was it just because he didn't care about people's lives at all?
Helfa knew better that he should be patient, he had to wait, because he was not ready yet, and he had to wait calmly for the best opportunity.
But like the dragon, he couldn't bear some things.
He looked at the people surrounding him and finally spoke.
"Don't worry."
"The person may still be alive. I'll go over there now."
He felt that those people might not be dead yet, and the dragon might not have performed the ritual so quickly, and might be able to save those people.
So many lives and so many families were worth the risk for him to take this trip.
Helfas rode the Didramon and came to the tunnel.
What caught the eye was a dragon with bronze scales lying in front of the entrance of the tunnel.
The dragon's injuries have completely healed. Before, it even lost part of its body, but now it has fully grown.
weird.
It is truly a terrifying and extremely unreasonable existence.
At this time, a long-haired boy came out of the tunnel and looked at Helfas.
"You came here. The black iron you gave me is very good. I like it very much."
"Helfas, you are indeed a good person!"
The young man said with a smile. He seemed to be in a good mood.
He stepped forward excitedly, seeming to have a great impression of Helfas.
Because the other party kept true to his word and really gave me so many pieces of black iron.
Helfas did not directly state the purpose of his visit at first: "I heard that you recently destroyed two tribes and slaughtered many people. I feel it is unnecessary!"
Young Man Long said: "I wanted to pick a few materials, but I didn't expect them to dare to attack me and yell at me, so I used thunder and fire to burn them all to death."
"Originally, I thought it was a bit wasteful and unnecessary."
"But then I figured it out."
Helfas: "What do you want to understand?"
The young man's eyes lit up: "It doesn't matter. They don't know how to smelt black iron. It won't be a waste to kill them all."
The young dragon grinned at Helfas, seeming to be showing off his clever ideas, waiting for Helfas' approval.
Helfas just asked him: "But I asked the people in my tribe to send you iron blocks. Those people are related to smelting black iron. There is no need for you to detain them. Let them go!"
The young man Long took Helfas into the tunnel, only to see that the other party had regarded this place as his residence and had carved a brand new ritual formation.
There are a large number of statues erected around the ritual circle.
Young man Long pointed inside: "Look, they are right there!"
"Sorry, I just ran out of materials during the ceremony today, so I filled it in with your materials."
Helfas looked straight at the bronze statues because he saw the people of his tribe in them.
Each of them looked horrified and looked in the direction where they were in despair.
For a moment, Helfas could no longer suppress his emotions.
He said: "They are my people!"
The young dragon walked to the side of Helfas: "I know that is your thing, so I will catch more people and give them to you in a few days. How about ten times the number? Anyway, those guys are everywhere."
The young dragon also shared his experience with Helfas: "But it's not that I haven't gained anything. I found that the stronger the vitality of a person, the more capable he is of carrying the power of our dragon. I think I will be able to find a way soon.
.”
"Helfas, this was discovered from the people in your tribe."
"You did me a big favor again!"
Helfas didn't move for a long time.
After a while, he suddenly turned his head.
"ten times?"
"Hahahahaha."
"That's not bad."
Then he laughed and said it as if he didn't care.
"I'm a little angry because you touched my property."
"But if you compensate me ten times, then I will earn more, then I won't be angry with you."
The young man Long also smiled: "Don't worry, I will definitely compensate you."
At this time, Long said again: "The people in your tribe have very strong vitality. I want more..."
"Well, can you, you are talking about buying it, right?"
"Buy some."
Helfas instinctively wanted to refuse, but something suddenly occurred to him.
"let me consider it."
Helfas chatted and laughed with the young man for a long time, imparting some experience to the young man in captivity. He very selflessly told the young man the method of refining black iron, and also said that the whole tribe would use all the people in the tribe to do their best for the young man.
Refining black iron.
The relationship between the two seems to have become more harmonious. The young man was surprised by Helfas's wisdom and was shocked by many of his practices. He hoped to learn more from Helfas.
Helfas also agreed wholeheartedly and left from the entrance of the tunnel with a smile on his face.
——
In front of the dining table.
Helfas looked at the food and plates in front of him alone. His calm expression just now turned into rage in an instant.
He pushed everything on the table to the ground. He felt like something was about to explode in his chest, but he couldn't say or shout.
He wants to stay calm and he wants to solve the problem.
He is the leader.
He is Helfas.
He was breathing heavily, feeling like the flames were about to ignite him.
But he could only force himself to calm down.
He picked up the food on the ground bit by bit, put it back on his plate, and stuffed it into his mouth. Even though it was full of sand, he still swallowed it.
He was the one who established the tribe with his own hands, and he was the first to cultivate that farmland. He knew how hard-earned this food was.
Before the lake existed, he watched the farmers carry water from far away day after day. Many people died in order for the farmland to grow.
that's all.
He ate everything bit by bit in silence, leaving nothing behind.
Then he said: "None of this comes easily."
He knew it was time for him to make a decision.
No matter what the price is, some things cannot be postponed. It is impossible to feed the evil dragon. His greed and desire are growing faster than Helfas imagined.
"If you want to defeat those two dragons, you must first defeat one dragon."
"Find a way to restrain the dragon so that he cannot fly."
"Seal it, or render it immobile forever."
Helfas thought a lot, and a plan finally took shape.
Late at night.
A group of people quietly came behind Helfas and knelt on the ground in unison.
These people are the people in the Demon Hunter team, as well as some old guards who retired from the Demon Hunter team. They were all brought out by Helfas, and they also charged with him on the first step of sealing the weirdness and opening up the road.
On the line.
These people looked at Helfas's back, their eyes full of determination, and even vaguely worshiping a god.
Helfas was still sitting at the table without turning around, just facing away from them. He also trusted them.
"I know there are rumors among the tribe that I have reached an agreement with the dragon, and I will give the people of the tribe to the dragon as food."
"Everyone is very scared, afraid of the dragon."
"Also, afraid of me."
After hearing these words, the people kneeling on the ground remained motionless and their expressions did not change.
One of them raised his head and said: "We don't believe it, and even if it is true, Lord Helfas did the right thing. There is no way for us to defeat that dragon. Only in this way can we survive."
Others followed up and said: "Master Helfas, we know that you are facing difficulties, but as long as you give the order, we are willing to do anything for you."
Someone said: "Lord Helfas, you don't need to explain to us, you just need to give the order."
Everyone said so.
But because of this, Herfas's determination, which he had finally made up with great difficulty, suddenly became hesitant again.
He held his forehead and strained his neck until the veins popped out. He wanted to speak, but his chin only shook but there was no sound.
He seemed a little sad, because these people were all people who had followed him for many years, a group of people who were willing to die for him without hesitation.
Over the years, he thought that he had become hard-hearted enough and was used to life and death, but at this moment, he still felt a little hard-hearted.
But in the end, he turned around.
He looked at everyone kneeling on the ground.
"My purpose this time is to let you die."
Helfas said: "But I promise you, after this time there will either be no me or no that dragon."
Helfas looked at everyone here, as if he wanted to find the most trustworthy person who could withstand or even suppress that weird person with his will.
They are all the best people. If the dragon's strange and demanding physique is really tenacious, each of them will be the best among them.
At this time, the businessman who had been living in a house next to Helfas suddenly appeared and came to the gate of Helfas.
