Looking at the human head on the ground, the Red Earl listened calmly as he listened to the low-level mages bragging about defeating the armed guard. It seemed as if they had experienced a fierce battle. How they were resourceful and clever. That armed guard was
How to struggle in pain.
"Okay, this is your reward." The Red Earl threw a full money bag to the mages and said, "You go and supervise the construction of the wall."
A mage asked: "Your Majesty, why build a wall in a place like this? There is nothing valuable."
The Red Earl maintained his patience and explained: "Chaidui Town has been attacked by indigenous people, and after the peace treaty is signed, not only will the Imperial Legion fully purge the colonies and autonomous territories, but the indigenous alliance will also expand outwards and annex small tribes everywhere.
From now on, there will be a bunch of natives to the west of Golden Crown Wood.
I plan to take this opportunity to build Chai Dui Town into a frontline fortress to deal with more frequent indigenous attacks in the future. This way, Lagen City can be in a safe zone in the rear, which will also be good for you."
"Your Excellency, the Earl, is really far-sighted. None of us thought of these things." After hearing the flattery of his subordinates, the Red Earl just waved his hand and asked them to leave. He sat on the fragrant wood chair and stared at the human head thrown to the ground.
"Fake! Even if the miraculous power remains and disrupts the spell detection, I can still be sure that this head is fake! Can't I tell if it is a head cut off from a human body?" The Red Earl did not hesitate at all.
After judging the situation, he looked at the backs of those low-level mages and thought to himself:
"Even using 'detection thoughts', no deception was found. It is conceivable that they did defeat and kill the armed guard. At least they thought so. Could this be related to the human life field?
Let them collectively fall under the influence of some kind of magic control spell? What kind of spell is this? I have never heard of it before."
The blood magic mastered by the Red Earl gave him an unusually keen ability to distinguish corpses and flesh. He could tell at a glance that Sir Salemi's head was a forgery of magic.
Out of the mage's cautious style, the Red Earl drew a magic circle with blood behind the curtain, then called his apprentice, put the head inside, and bound it tightly with magic energy, and then used various detection methods.
Test spells.
The Red Earl carefully controlled the blood to connect to the head. The special thing about blood magic is that its energy source includes not only the arcane star map, but also the blood itself.
Most mages only believe that the soul has rich magical energy, but ignore that the human body itself, as one of the natural things, also contains magical energy. The magic power consumed by ancient wizards in casting spells is precisely the power that emerges after the soul and life are combined together.
.
Therefore, the spell abilities mastered by ancient wizards were mainly supernatural abilities, supplemented by a small amount of spell-like abilities. The spell effects are generally more stable and lasting.
However, due to the backward and primitive extraction technology of magic power, the spells of ancient wizards are far less powerful than the arcane spells of later generations of wizards, and they also lack the changeable and precise characteristics after being connected to the arcane star map. In particular, excessive consumption of magic power will also lead to loss of magic power.
Soul and vitality.
However, the Crimson Earl believes that the life form itself is a complex system that is no less complex than the arcane star map, and that the ancient wizards did not develop the life form in depth enough and only used it superficially and crudely.
Just like the blood used by the Red Earl to cast spells now, it is not ordinary blood, but "demon blood" that contains abundant magic power and has gathered many living souls. It is equivalent to using blood as a carrier and using living souls to enchant special
Magic items.
The biggest problem in blood magic is how to balance the two energies of demonic blood and arcane star chart. Stability and precision are often mutually exclusive, unless there is a more special and powerful structure as support.
The blood floating off the ground formed a three-dimensional magic circle, stimulating the magic effectiveness of the head from different directions. The head trembled slightly and suddenly burst out with dazzling light - the unique brilliance of those magic sticks!
The Red Earl quickly took half a step back and instantly activated the protective spell on the mage's robe. The two apprentices next to him also ran away early. You must know that there are harmful means hidden in the trophies, but it is a classic trick to assassinate a mage!
However, the head did not explode as imagined after all. After the light dissipated, the head itself melted rapidly, like melting snow, gradually becoming colorless and transparent, and then turned into a loud and thunderous sound that spread throughout Chaidui Town.
——
"Want to know the location of the ancient giant ruins? To the west of the Great Falls, come if you dare!"
The rumbling sound of thunder lingered in the sky and dispersed far away. The people, soldiers, and mages inside and outside Chaidui Town who were busy building the wall all froze in place and did not move. They looked up at the sky and thought it was thunder.
The Red Earl was also frightened by the sudden loud sound. This was not a sonic energy spell, but a pure loud sound. The blood magic array did not take any precautions in advance, and actually let this sentence spread to everyone.
Everyone knows it.
"You, you plotted against me?!" The Red Earl roared angrily, and the head in the blood magic circle melted into nothing, just like a magical creation that automatically disappeared after the time limit, and could no longer be traced back.
However, the information revealed in this sentence was what really made the Red Earl angry. He was trying to take advantage of the time when everyone was building the wall of Chaidui Town to carefully detect the location of the ruins nearby, but he did not expect that the other party would take the initiative to reveal the information.
.
And it spreads so widely without any restrictions!
Looking back and seeing the doubtful and greedy eyes of his apprentice, the Red Earl understood that his purpose of coming to Woodpile Town had been grasped by the other party.
It has been said for a long time that the ancient ruins in the New World are full of treasures. If you can seize the treasures and wealth in the ruins, who would be willing to work hard for others? How could the Red Earl not know the thoughts of his apprentices and mages? He himself has also taken this step
Came on foot!
It's good now that everyone knows the location of the ancient ruins, and there may be people trying to spread the news to the outside world, attracting the intervention of more powerful forces. Then all of his future arrangements and grand achievements will all be affected by now.
Died due to changes!
"No! Calm down first! Maybe this is the guy's trick to provoke. I can't be deceived." The Red Earl rubbed the ring on his hand and thought to himself: "If you find treasures and wealth in the ruins of ancient giants, then share them with them in exchange.
There is no problem with loyalty. Now we must control the situation immediately and not let the news get out!"
The Red Earl was extremely angry, but an unfathomable smile appeared on his face. He knew in his heart that the person who did this was clearly provoking him. The pedantic and rigid armed guards could not do such a thing. What he did just now was
It's not like Druid's spell, it can only be that "Doctor Olenso".
"Okay, very good! You really caught my attention. I hope you won't shout too quietly when you are lying on the dissecting table!" The Red Earl said through gritted teeth.
…
Snapped!
A huge mountain stone with a diameter of more than ten feet was swept away by the cold light. The stone slid down obliquely, and the smooth and smooth cut was as if it had been cut by a sharp blade, without any unnecessary cracks.
Rosalian was very satisfied as she swayed her tail, which was almost as long as her body. The armor spikes on her tail had now turned into leaf blades and spearheads, shining with cold light. They swung flexibly under Rosalian's control, as if they were sharp and vicious.
With the whip blade, it is easy to break rocks and cut wood.
"Haha! It seems that she has really become more powerful!" Rosalian purred happily, twisted her body, and hit the rock with a jumping arc from her long tail, shattering the entire rock with a snap.
"Okay, okay! It's much more powerful than before. It's really useful!"
Since practicing the "Dragon and Tiger Twelve Postures of Changing Tendons", Rosalian's body has been undergoing various changes recently. First of all, the strength of her muscles and bones has improved a lot, and her ability to coordinate movements between the trunk and limbs has improved by leaps and bounds, allowing her to gather all her body strength together.
Instead of just relying on its huge body and weight to collide with the enemy like before.
Secondly, the spikes at the end of the tail have become sharper, comparable to enchanted weapons, and even the natural spell-like abilities have improved a lot. Rosalian is confident that if she faces that guy covered in golden light again, she will definitely
Be able to gain the upper hand.
During this period of time, Rosalian and Sandori have been concentrating on training. However, Rosalian's body shape cannot be used in a small castle. Sandori took her to the hillside not far away to demonstrate.
Results.
As for Sandori, she was seen holding a short staff of flowers and trees. Under her guidance, the frozen stream on the side quickly thawed, and the trickle flowed around her. She raised her hand and waved, and the water shot out like a sharp blade.
It carved a deep ravine on the ground and flattened out a large piece of tree crown in the distance. Rosalian was frightened to see it.
"Sandori, you have become so powerful." Rosaleen said.
Sandori's soul magic has now recovered to the extent that she can use her soul to communicate with Rosalian. She heard Rosalian say: "Your spells didn't seem to be that powerful before."
Sandoli relaxed slightly and said: "Perhaps the connection with the spirit has become closer. I actually don't consume anything more than before, so I naturally shape the water flow like this."
Rosalin squatted on the ground, scratched her ears with her paws, and said with a smile, "That guy Olanso is quite capable. You may be even more powerful now than before."
Sandori heard this, but there was not much expression of joy on her face, and she responded evasively.
Rosalian knew that she had said the wrong thing, and sighed in her heart: "Oh, if the two of them hadn't had such an experience, they might have become very good friends, right? Oops! Why should I mention him in front of Sandori?
!
Also, Dr. Olenso speaks in a weird way. He talks about leopard-headed things all day long, which is hard to understand. In the future, I will have to change these weird words into "saber-toothed leopard pounces" and "saber-toothed leopard shakes".
Tail', 'saber-toothed leopard shaking'!"
Rosalian was thinking about how to deal with the entangled grudge relationship between Sanduoli and Xuan Weizi in the future, when she suddenly smelled a strange smell. In fact, it was not that her sense of smell had become more sensitive, but that she had recently gained a special sense of perception.
If any creature approaches, it will be instinctively aware, and it will also appear on the five senses, so as to distinguish what is approaching.
"Sandori, someone is coming." Rosalian was wary. Apart from Xuan Weizi, they had never seen any outsiders in the deep mountains.
Sandori held a short staff of flowers and trees and looked down the hillside shrouded in clouds and mist. She raised her hand and moved it gently, and the mist naturally separated a path, revealing a figure below.
From the appearance, she was a slightly older indigenous woman with a sallow complexion. Sandoli recognized at a glance that she was not a member of the Spotted Beast tribe. She was wearing a dark yellow coarse cloth robe, with a colorful belt wrapped around her waist.
, tied randomly. There are strings of polished small stone beads on the arms, neck, and ankles, and there is actually a pure gold nose ring on the nose. There are long and short weapons on the back and waist, and the sharp eyes are scanning.
Sandori and Rosalind grinned with two rows of sharp teeth, looking more like some kind of carnivorous beasts than ordinary humans.
"Who are you?" Sandori asked.
The indigenous woman raised her hand and pressed her forehead, then spread it out in an arc, as if making a strange salute, and replied in indigenous language:
"I am Sai Kazan, the totem guardian of the Wind Jackal Tribe. I visited the Spotted Beast Tribe not long ago and learned that the former guardian Tu Randi died unfortunately. After assisting the Spotted Beast Tribe in migrating, I came to look for the expelled
Guardian Sandori, it must be you, right?"
When Sandoli heard the name of the Wind Jackal Tribe, she remembered that her teacher had communicated with the Wind Jackal Tribe when she went to the "Symbiosis Well" gathering. They were a very powerful tribe in the south, and they frequently fought against invaders.
They fought in circles and even went deep into enemy territory to plunder.
It's just that the style of the Wind Jackal Tribe is not very acceptable to other tribes. Their tribe has trained many giant spirit guards, with wind jackals as animal companions. However, when the strength of these giant spirit guards reaches a certain level, they must
He kills and devours his animal companions with his own hands, thus becoming one with them.
Therefore, the totem guardians and djinn guards of the Wind Jackal Tribe all have a bit of a jackal image. It is even rumored that some of them accidentally were killed and eaten by their animal companions, becoming cursed people wandering in the wilderness.
, cannot be accepted by any tribe.
It is very common for such tribes to fight as warriors. Asking them to assist the migration of the spotted beast tribe can't help but make Sandori feel confused.
"I am Sanduoli, how did you discover this place?" Sanduoli remembered that Xuan Weizi said that no one would be discovered here, but why did he still come to her door?
Sai Kazan pointed to his nose and said with a scary smile: "There is indeed a power to interfere with detection and exploration here, but it does not prevent me from relying on my sense of smell? The jackal can find traces from the smell left half a year ago.
If not, he wouldn't be called a jackal."
"Then what are you doing here?" Shanduli held the short flower stick tightly, and she was a little unsure of the other party's intentions.
"I'm here to welcome the return of the totem guardian." Sai Kazan said: "Although the spotted beast tribe has left its original settlement, no one among them can let the totem giant spirit leave with it. Such a tribe cannot do anything in the wilderness.
After being blessed, you will definitely be inferior to other tribes in the future, and you can only do the hardest and most tiring work to survive. Are you going to watch this happen, Sandori?"
