Sandoli was sitting by the door, holding the design of Xuan Weizi's robes in her hand, carefully trying to figure out the thunder patterns and cloud seals hidden between the longitude and weft. If she looked at the entire unfolded robe, she could see the whole sky.
Xingdou transformed into the image of Shenzhen and accompanied him on the tour. Even though it was just a drawing and design on paper, Sandoli felt the majestic power.
"It's strange. It's somewhat similar to spirit magic, except that any hidden image on it seems to be the embodiment of a totem giant spirit. The gathering of so many characters seems to be the manifestation of the entire natural giant spirit." Shan
Dolly's eyes were dazzled by the sight. She was playing with yarn balls of different colors in her hands, and she was also thinking about what kind of power she could gain by wearing such a robe.
But she immediately shook her head: "No, it's too complicated. I can't control it at all. It's like being in contact with multiple totem spirits at the same time, or what the sage of Tar Valon said, forming a natural bond with multiple realms.
, the soul is simply not enough to bear it. But if it is to directly communicate with the natural giant spirit as a whole..."
Sandori could not imagine such a state. Now, with the adjustment and improvement of Xuan Weizi, the spirit spell has gradually developed into a clear development path. Through repeated training or the use of the giant spirit scepter to guide, the existence of the spirit can be sensed; and then
Using the spirit as a guide, show your natural talents internally and try to communicate with the most friendly totem spirit.
It's just that the natives in Firepile Town now are either from the Spotted Beast tribe or scattered natives absorbed from elsewhere. Under the guidance of Sandori, of course they choose to rely on the spirits guided by her giant spirit scepter.
While Sandoli usually focuses on making medicines and treating injuries and illnesses, she also allows the guided post-scholars to communicate with similar affinity spirits. Most of their spellcasting abilities are close to healing spells, and a few people have learned the "bending wood technique" and
"Wood Shaping Technique" can help make evergreen clothes.
"Does he hope that I can develop more comprehensive abilities?" Sandoli looked at the design drawing in her hand, feeling a little complicated.
Shandoli thought that the Spotted Beast Tribe and the recently absorbed natives had gradually become accustomed to living in Chai Dui Town. They farmed and raised livestock, and their food and clothing were more prosperous and stable than in the jungle in the past.
The tribesmen who were originally worried seemed to have forgotten the past when they were pressed hard by the colonists of Chai Dui Town. Especially the young people were exposed to the magical creations brought by the colonists, which opened their eyes to many things.
People also hope to follow the mage and embark on the path of arcane magic.
"If he hadn't taught me these skills and could guide the people, maybe everyone would have taken refuge in those mages, right?" Sandoli felt quite heavy pressure. Only now did she understand what the teacher Tu Randi had faced.
Not only were the colonists advancing, but the tribe's future was bleak.
In fact, Sanduoli has never had any clear plans for the future. Just like when she attacked Chaidui Town to avenge her teacher, she didn't even think about the consequences if she failed. As for the future of the tribe, Sanduoli only thought that it would be maintained.
The past habit was to forage for food in the mountains and forests to survive.
She suddenly understood what Xuan Weizi said, "changing ideas" is a very painful process, but in the face of the changing external environment, if you cannot make changes and just continue the traditional habits of the past, I am afraid that one day it will be destroyed, and even more
What's more, the spotted beast tribe was once close to destruction.
"The heart changes with things, but external things are ever-changing, and the situation is even more unpredictable. If you are only driven by the external situation and have to change, then no matter how you change, there will be a limit. If you use up your energy and strength, it will be nothing more in the end.
Just drifting with the crowd is a waste of your body and mind." Sandoli remembered what Xuan Weizi said: "If you really want your tribe to survive in this world, you can't just see the changes in front of you, but you must
Grasp the laws of change and find the path that suits you."
Although Sandoli could understand what Xuan Weizi meant, she couldn't do it. She even felt a little inexplicably irritable. Looking at the design drawing in her hand, she felt that the way forward was bleak.
"Chief Sandori?"
At this time, a native came over, accompanied by a guard from Chaidui Town. Nowadays, the guards in Chaidui Town are basically people from the Battle Academy. They are also practicing the spiritual warrior skills taught by Xuan Weizi, but they haven’t watched it yet.
What results will come from it?
"What's wrong?" With the current situation in Chai Dui Town, if people have any important issues, they will often go to Titus or Sandori first. If the problem is too serious, they will go to Xuan Weizi and Ta Valon.
A high-level spellcaster.
As the guardian of the Spotted Beast Tribe, Sandori usually consults her first on matters related to the natives. Especially since there have long been rumors in the town about her close relationship with "Doctor Olenso". Sometimes what she says is more...
Theus, a serious mage advisor, is okay.
"It's like this, someone is missing in the town." said the guard of Chaidui Town.
Sandori stood up and asked, "Is it a farmer's child? Or someone else?"
The guard shook his head and looked a little nervous: "No, he is a mage."
"Mage?" Sandori frowned. These matters were usually handled by Theus, and she would not interfere. She said, "Have you looked for him? Could it be that he left temporarily?"
"No, because he is in charge of the expansion of the town and is responsible for casting spells to shape stones, so everyone is waiting for him... We have been waiting for most of the day, and we didn't find anyone in his room, so I want you to come and ask."
Sanduoli only found it strange that although Chai Dui Town is still expanding, it is not a very large town. Especially for a spellcaster who is such an eye-catching presence, unless he is deliberately hidden, he will definitely be able to see it while walking on the road.
He was recognized, let alone the mage who was still in charge of construction affairs in Chaidui Town.
"Don't your mages have communication spells? Have you tried it?" Sandoli glanced at the communication crystal tower not far away that was similar to an obelisk.
The guard replied: "We tried it, but there was no response, just like..."
"like what?"
"It's like the person is dead."
Sandori took a deep breath, and there was an ominous premonition in her intuition. Now that Xuan Weizi, Ta Valon, Titus and other important figures are not here, she has the most important status and weight in the entire Chai Dui Town.
But her ability may be the weakest among them.
If some mages were lazy, slacked off, or even sneaked away to other places while Xuanweizi and Titus were away, Sandoli wouldn't find it strange. And she is usually responsible for the work of the Aboriginal and Evergreen Chamber of Commerce.
, and won’t meddle in other people’s business.
But at this moment, if the mage was killed, it would be as if he had spotted the opportunity for a powerful person to leave.
"Strange, if it was really a murder, why was the timing so accurate? Could it be that they have been monitoring Pile Town?" Sandori changed her mind and broke this idea: "It's unlikely. Oak Holy Residence and Olenso's Castle are both
It has an anti-detection effect, and it is almost impossible to grasp their movements from a distance, unless...unless the perpetrator is in Woodpile Town!"
Sandori was almost frightened by her own conjecture, but she still kept a calm expression and said, "I already know the matter. Can you take me to the mage's room? I can try to use spell detection."
Follow the guard to the tower where the mages live in Chaidui Town. From the outside, it looks like a huge three-story cylinder. A stargazer is set up on the top of the building and covered with a canvas awning. Everything is simple. Compared with those exquisite carvings
A mage tower that is carefully crafted, tall and majestic, with a brilliant aura all over its body, and numerous protections and traps. This gray tower is simply like a doghouse.
Since Chaidui Town is now considered a town that cooperates with the Pentagram Tower, the emblem flag with the five-pointed star on the outside and the tower on the inside is also hung outside the mage tower.
Walk into the mage tower and follow the spiral staircase to the second floor. The missing mage's room only has one bedroom and a copy room.
Pushing the door open, you are faced with a copying table with several quills and drawing tools inserted on it. You can see blue magic light spots swimming in the ink bottle. It is a flash made of deep-sea squid ink and fluorescent moth powder.
Ink, suitable for drawing scrolls. The bookshelf next to it is filled with blank paper scrolls, with materials ranging from parchment to papyrus, as well as leather tubes used to store scrolls. It can be seen that this is a person who is pretty good at making magic scrolls.
A proficient mage.
Compared with the still neat copy room, the bedroom is much messier. Books of all sizes are piled randomly, there is a plate of uneaten salt-roasted nuts on the bedside table, and there is a slight smell of wine in the cup next to it, so that the sheets are
There are still wine stains. There is a third-rate erotic novel lying on the pillow on the bed. The title on the cover is "Man and Cat", and the author is called Usetin Hulu.
Sandoli glanced over them one by one and found nothing unexpected. So she silently immersed herself in the world of spirits. "Soul Refining and Spiritualization" not only allowed Sandoli to master the ability to communicate and control spirits, she could even absorb them from spirits.
Corresponding abilities to bless oneself.
Especially those rampant soldiers who were summoned by themselves can acquire some of the abilities of their animal bodies, especially various sensory perceptions that are sharper than humans. Under the control of Sandori, they can connect with each other. Even
Even the existence of smell can be displayed in front of you in a visual form.
This is actually what Sandoli learned from Sai Kazan of the Wind Jackal Tribe. Simple detection spells will be interfered with and blocked due to the anti-detection and anti-prophecy effects on the target, but the smell on the body is related to life.
The traces left by daily routine are difficult to erase. Even a strong person like Xuan Weizi will still leave very small traces.
At this moment, what appeared in front of Sandoli's eyes was like a colorful neon world. From the remaining visual aura, she confirmed that no fighting or murder had occurred here. Then she focused on the most intense person here, who was also the person.
The remaining breath of the missing mage was intercepted by the invisible spiritual power.
Sandoli raised her hand and spread her fingers. At this moment, her long hair was flowing freely without wind. Her eyes were emitting a faint blue brilliance, and her gaze seemed to see through life and death. A few hairs on the pillow naturally flew up, curled, and fell to the ground.
When Sandori took it in her hands, it was rolled up into a little person shape.
In the vision of the soul, the little man with curly hair was connected with the life breath and soul essence of the original owner. Just a trace appeared, but it suddenly collapsed, causing Sandoli to wake up from the immersion.
"Really dead? And...even the soul was taken away?" Sanduoli was a little shocked. It was different from her teacher Tu Randi whose soul was taken away by Xuanweizi. In just a brief glance, Sanduoli sensed
The soul of the missing mage was almost devoured in pieces, as if it was a terrifying monster that was insatiable, chewing up and swallowing people.
Looking at the little man with hair who was burned up by a wisp of blue fire, Sandoli clasped her fingers together. She had already sensed the presence of the other person from the short spell she had just cast.
"That person is really near Chai Dui Town!"
Sandori rushed out of the mage tower and ordered without hesitation: "Assemble all spell casters! Whether they are working mages, spirit messengers, or mysterious knights in training, all come with me!"
Sandori showed unprecedented majesty. Even mages with good arcane skills did not dare to neglect. They also vaguely sensed the crisis and immediately used communication crystal towers to cast communication spells to gather all the spellcasters in the city. They even
Someone sounded the alarm.
And Shanduli waved the giant spirit scepter, releasing three rampant soldiers, namely the raven, the female deer, and the saber-toothed leopard. Their whole bodies were condensed like a faint blue light. Shanduli turned over and mounted the female deer at a high speed.
Like a fast horse galloping, not inferior to the mage's "Phantom Horse", it went straight to the outside of Chaidui Town.
…
Outside the town of Chai Dui, next to the base of the altar that had not yet been built, three workers fell dead on the ground, looking like mummies, with dehydrated skin and a grayish appearance. The only two people standing, looking from a distance, they thought they were
They hugged each other, and only after getting closer did they realize that one of them was biting the other's neck, sucking hard the blood that spurted out, and even devouring the other's soul.
"Devil! Stop it!"
There was a loud shout, followed by the blazing light of the Holy Sword, and two figures separated from each other as if without warning. The mage, who had almost been sucked dry of his blood, fell to the feet of the sudden appearance without any breath - holding tightly
Ser Salemi with the radiant sword.
"Devil, you, you, you -"
Sir Salemi, who suddenly returned to Chaihei Town for some unknown reason, saw this horrifying scene outside the city before he entered the expanded city. The justice in his heart drove him to rush to save people as soon as possible. He had just forced the vampire demon away, but
I wanted to ask the other person, but I saw a familiar face, and I was so stunned that I couldn't say a complete sentence.
"Ah? It's you, Master Salemi." The young servant seemed to have had a good drink of fine wine. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth, and his expression was extremely evil. He was completely unlike the newly promoted saint who was studious, progressive, and loyal to his faith.
Career!
"How could you, how could you do such a thing?!" Sir Salemi held his sword and roared, with tears in his eyes as he was furious.
"Me? Oh, by the way, maybe you don't know yet." The young servant put his legs together, bent down, pressed his chest with one hand, raised his arm with the other, bowed like a dignified and noble imperial man, and then said: "
Let me re-introduce myself, I—the Golden Light Wood Dominion, the Red Earl of Lagen City, Komosius, if my surname is...just keep the Red Earl."
"You, aren't you already dead? How could you still be alive, still, still..."
"Does it still occupy the body of your young servant?" Comothius Crimson Earl said: "Thank you very much for letting me deal with my former 'relics', otherwise the essence of the soul in the blood reborn body
It can only remain in a state of sleep forever...Ah, the people from Chaidui Town are here too."
The Red Earl looked leisurely at Sandori, who was approaching quickly on a spirit deer. Mages, spirit messengers, secret knights, and even trainee psychic warriors who had not yet developed their psychic powers swarmed behind them, picking up weapons and chasing after them.
come.
"I can't handle such a big battle now." The Red Earl laughed at himself in a low voice.
Before Sandori arrived, she could not figure out why Sir Salemi suddenly appeared here. The armed guard, covered in golden armor, roared loudly, leaving a path of light in the air with his glorious sword, flying forward and slashing at the red warrior.
count.
"The Lord says that even if you are angry, you must not sin!" I heard the red earl utter blasphemous mantras, which spread in all directions with the sound waves, and even the light in the air was distorted!
Before the glorious sword fell, Sir Salemi's heart suddenly tightened with the sound of the mantra. His brain was shaking wildly, and his ears were bleeding. It was as if he had been hit on the head by a heavy hammer. He fell to the ground involuntarily, and the sword struck the air.
at.
Even though she was not within the range of the twisted blasphemous mantra, Sandoli still felt a strong malice. She waved the giant scepter without hesitation, and more than a dozen "thorn javelins" broke out of the ground, shooting at the Red Earl.
. Along with this, there were also fireballs and lightnings sent out by the mages in the rear.
The corners of the crimson earl's lips curled up, and he crossed his arms and rolled up his sleeves, revealing the dense tattoos on his forearms. On his left arm were arcane spells blooming with evil blood shadows, and on his right arm were miraculous inscriptions filled with pure white light.
Positive and negative energy actually intersect and surge in this body!
Just listen to the Red Earl spit out a short syllable, and then open his arms with a ferocious smile, and two incompatible energies erupt together in the purest way!
The collision between positive and negative energy, the connection between blood shadow and white light, creates an agitation more violent than the attack of ice and fire, swallowing thorns, annihilating fire and thunder, causing almost all magic effects to become disordered and unbalanced, triggering a series of shocking explosions.
Sandori was knocked to the ground by this force, and the three rampant soldiers immediately formed a dense protective barrier to block the powerful impact.
"Tell that Doctor Oranso that he won the first confrontation! Count Comosius Red, I look forward to the second battle with him!"
The flying gravel fell to the ground with a crackle, and in the misty smoke and dust, the words of the Red Earl's declaration of war were heard. When the dust gradually subsided, the evil figure was no longer seen.
