Chapter 118
Chapter 118
The kobolds, an underground race, belonged to the underground race that appeared very early in human history. They would fall underground, and it was entirely because a wolf clan chose to fall.Therefore, the ownerless kobolds are actually not very harmful.Although the gray dwarves chose to fall of their own accord, many gray dwarves returned to the surface.
Although these two races are very acceptable, of course Eldi will not tell the church honestly about the fact that they discovered the entrance to the underground world and then concealed it. He only talked about the slag knocking on the window in the middle of the night.
"Did a part of Leon fall into the underground world?" Morifio and the others were also worried about this.
Hogan: "Isn't it better to get it back?"
Finon: "Those kobolds regard Leon's tentacles as their masters, which is a good thing. The kobolds who recognize their master are more trustworthy."
Elvira: "What about the entrance to the underground world?"
Copper Hammer: "Haha! If they dare to rush out at this time, then we really have to thank them!"
Everyone tacitly did not think about what to do with the entrance and exit after the disaster. The disaster has no sign of ending now, but it spreads wider every day than the previous day.This is not a problem that can be solved in one or two years. Even they don't know if they can survive the disaster.
No one asked Leon if he knew it a long time ago, or if someone suspected it, but there was no need to ask more.Anyway, life is still like that.
On the first day of 1677, Eldy's lasso was burnt again, and he pulled up the remaining half of the noose. In fact, it can't be considered broken, it should be said that the lower half has completely melted away.Where it was broken, the black bones looked like molten metal.
Eldy sighed, how hot is Leon now?Like the sun?
Holding the half-cut chain, he stood by the edge of the lava pit, staring at the bubbling magma in a daze.In the past, the diameter of this pit was only one Leon, but now it has the size of three Leons.So, now in Aldi's vocabulary, Leon has become a quantifier in addition to being a name.
A magma bubble burst, and Eldy took a half step forward.He often has an urge to jump in, like diving, to dive into the depths of the magma...
Goo ~ Goo ~ Goo ~ Goo ~
Eldy looked at the thing that made the sound, and Slag was twisting around behind him.Although the missions of these clones outside are different, their highest priority mission is the same - to protect Eldi's safety.
After Zha Zha completed the task of sending the kobolds to the ground, there was only one task with the highest priority left, so it followed Eldi.
Seeing such a Leon who is not very Leon, Eldy went over to pat it and smiled.After walking two steps in the direction of Hope City, Eldy suddenly stopped and walked back, throwing the remaining half of the lasso into the magma pool.
He shouldn't be like this, this kind of behavior of jumping into the magma pool because of longing, it shouldn't be him, he is not so emotional - otherwise, when he was still young, he should have died with his parents.
The status quo of mankind's repeated defeats still affected him, making his thoughts dark and decadent.What he misses is not only Leon himself, but also the power that Leon represents.
What he wants to do is be a knight who can be relied on by Leon, not a knight who always thinks about relying on Leon!
"I will come to see you again, next time...bring you something really delicious." Crouching down, Eldi smiled at the magma pool, wearing a full-coverage helmet made of monster skulls and monster leather , the position of the eyes is an alchemy crystal with a spell attached, even if he really faces Leon, he can't see his smiling face.
Still unable to hold back, Eldi grabbed a handful of magma, which was emitting black smoke, dripping down in lumps along Erdi's fingertips wearing devil leather gloves.
When Eldy returned to his tent and took off the glove, it had a layer of dried lava on the surface, and they were brittle and rough.Eldy touched twice, put down his gloves, picked up the carving knife and the half-carved bones on the table, and was about to start carving the chain, when he suddenly remembered something and stopped.
Maybe he could go to Leon Pool one more time and drop these too?
Aldi was a little moved, but in the end he didn't do that, he just threw these into the sundry box.
Leon himself said that he was dormant, but Eldy always felt that he was not dormant. Leon just... just didn't want him to see his painful appearance.Maybe this reason is a bit too like the love saint sung by bards. Another possibility that Eldy thinks is that Leon wants to minimize his pain in the flames.
But Eldy felt that Leon was more or less conscious. If he knew that he was throwing messy things at him, then...and he promised to bring food to Leon. Could it be that food is A carving knife and a pile of demon bones?Thinking of all the delicacies that Leon cooked for him, Eldy felt that his little conscience was aching.
Putting everything down, Eldy lay on the bed, unable to sleep with his eyes closed, turned over, and took out a small bag from under the pillow, which looked like a small money bag.After Eldy opened it, there was a small pottery bottle inside. When the cork was pulled out, a sweet smell floated out of the small bottle.
Eldie licked the cork twice and pushed it back.
When Leon was around, he would always purify the sugar for him, and he forgot that real sugar always had a strange bitter taste.Leon has been gone for more than half a year, sugar... pure sweet sugar, that's all that's left, he wants to save.
Close your eyes, there is a faint cool breeze blowing from the window.There was a little smile on the corners of Erdi's straight lips, because the sound of chug chug chug wafted in with the wind.
It was that silly tentacle that fanned the wind outside, and it was the only one that could bring a bit of coolness in this small broken village.
Eldy woke up the next morning, looked at the things on the table, and realized that the tentacles brought not only a little coolness, but also sweet candy.A larger earthenware pot was placed on the table, and it was full of sugar.
Gujiugujiu~ Tentacles swayed frantically at the window, a passing knight was startled, turned around and left.Eldy jumped onto his desk, flew out of the window, and hugged the tentacle.
All right, it's okay if that Leon doesn't come back, it's fine to have this!
Leon, who sank in the deep magma, didn't know what he sensed at this time, and frowned...
On August 1677, [-], the sky suddenly turned black and red, the color of the surface of boiling magma, as if magma from the abyss was poured into the sky.The civilians screamed in panic, and some overly pessimistic people laughed wildly and shouted: "The gods have fallen! Demons have occupied the domain of God!"
"War of Gods!" Hogan, whose presence in the town is relatively weak, stood up, probably because only he knew what happened at this time, "The gods are fighting against the demons for us! Pray! Pray for the victory of the gods ! Otherwise today will be the last day of our lives!"
For ordinary people, praying is actually a very useless behavior, because the gods cannot hear the voices of ordinary people.When they listened deliberately, they could at most hear the voices of believers at the level of priests.
But at this time, prayer is the only thing anyone can do.
The priests clasped their hands and knelt down on the ground.The knights drew their swords and thrust them into the ground, and knelt on one knee with both hands holding the hilt.The kobolds lay on the ground, facing the tentacles.With them taking the lead, large groups of wandering civilians also fell to their knees.When the prayer begins, the human heart inexplicably stabilizes.And a strong sense of responsibility arose—they just prayed, but it was as if they were fighting alongside the gods.
This battle of gods lasted 23 days.
In Xiaopo Village, it was snowing during the battle of gods.really snow.In the climate of the Principality of Gretel, most of the locals have never seen snow in their entire lives, but there are not many locals in the small broken village.
When it snows, people no longer pray day and night, but every day people are also used to going out to kneel and pray according to three meals a day.Many people even screamed as they saw snowflakes falling from the sky.After all, for most people, snow is not a good thing, falling snow is equivalent to death.Moreover, the snow didn't even melt in the scorching heat, but quickly covered the ground with a thin layer.
"The devil can't control the power of the cold! This is the power of the gods!" A knight shouted before the people calmed down again.
Later, through contact with other areas, they learned that the situation in Xiaopo Village is very good, and different natural disasters have occurred in other places, such as flaming meteorites falling from the sky, major floods, ground cracks, and plants growing wildly.
"Crazy growth of plants doesn't sound like a natural disaster, right?" Eldi was wearing thin clothes, and a golden vindictive light could be seen on the surface of his body - the snow didn't melt, and the temperature dropped suddenly. The knights took out all their clothes and handed them over to The public, including Eldy.
"It's the kind of crazy growth that squeezes people to death." Hogan sighed. "Meteorites, great floods, and cracks in the ground all have survivors. There are no living people where the crazy growth plants pass."
"..."
So the snow here is really excellent.
When the vision in the sky disappeared, the priest and the knights cheered loudly: "Victory! The gods have won!"
The ignorant people were taken aback for a moment, and then cheered.However, no one knows whether the gods won or not.Anyway, if the demon's territory didn't expand further, and they didn't die, it was a victory.
Then this battle of the gods became a constant, like the tremors and roars of the earth beneath people's feet.Until seven years later, in 1684, Leon should be, and Eldy was 17 years old. The demonic invasion has lasted for eight years. No one knows how many intelligent life are still alive on the ground, but even the most ignorant people I also know that those who die must be a hundred times or a thousand times as much as those who are alive, and those who can live to this day are all the lucky ones in life.
And the luckiest ones must be the people in Xiaopo Village, because Leon firmly suppressed the demons in the crater, and none of the demons ran out from here.
However, even so... Various disturbances still occurred in Xiaopo Village during the past seven years.It seems that they intend to poison the well, and lead everyone to seek real comfort and peace.After killing his family, he suddenly rushed to the street with a knife in his hand, hacking and killing.In addition, they began to worship demons secretly. At the worst time, hundreds of people secretly built small altars, intending to summon demons to descend, but with their abilities, they only summoned one little demon.
But it's not without good things. It should even be said that there are too many good things.
For example, those farmers who cultivate the land, workers who work in factories, and blacksmiths who forge iron in workshops, they have no ability, but they know that what they are doing is to provide food, bandages, clothing, and weapons and equipment for the front line, so everyone does their best. They put in their best efforts, worked day and night, and slept in humid and hot greenhouses, noisy and unpleasant factories, or workshops where molten iron was churning.
Alchemists and enchanters, because of excessive use of magic power, there are not a few people who have problems with the core of magic power.
There are also those kobolds, who go out with the knights who go out to patrol and hunt, and become the best eyes and ears of the knights. Maybe ordinary people are a little hostile to them, but many knights like to let a kobold sit on their shoulders , take them around.
Morifio and the others had already been transferred away one after another during the past seven years. After the seriously injured knight recovered a little, he took over their task of guarding the small broken village, and then was transferred away again.Now the knights in Xiaopo Village, even if they are the management, there are many people that Eldy doesn't know.But it doesn't matter, each successor is appointed by the predecessor, and they trust each other, so Eldi trusts them too.
It is precisely because of this that these vicious people become more and more stinky and ugly.
On August 1684, 27, Aldee stood on the outskirts of the village, looking at the tree-like tentacles.In this scorching hot weather, many people are tanned like dark skin, including those nobles who like pale skin.But Eldy's skin was still as white as pure milk, with a beautiful sheen.His hair color was lighter, but it still didn't return to the white of the Bonova family, but a light flaxen color that was more golden.
But the color of the hair doesn't matter. In this period when water sources are precious, even women tend to cut their hair very short. Even if Eldi loves beauty, he only cuts his hair to an inch of his scalp-- gray dwarves, dwarves and The half-dwarves had their heads chopped off into bare eggs, so one can imagine the current situation.Eldy's hair style is the same as that of elves and half-elves.
His green eyes had deepened, and his facial features were still a little immature, but the outline had become more and more clear.It's very like a bad guy's temperament has not changed, and now it is difficult for everyone to trust him at the first sight of him.Because no matter how he looks, he looks like a cunning, greedy and hypocritical, but extremely handsome nobleman.
Eldy touched a tree-like tentacle, it didn't respond in any way, it was still swaying slowly, catching things that ordinary people couldn't see.
Gujiu Gujiu~ Zha Zha followed, swinging much wilder than the tree-like tentacles, and Eldy felt that it was suspected of competing for favor.
Smiling, Eldy turned around and hugged Zha Zha: "Leon, next year I will also go to the front line." Although his birthday is relatively late, it is at the end of the year, but it can still be said to be the new year. , officially an adult, he also has to fulfill the responsibilities of a true knight.
Then this night Eldy was almost thrown out of bed!
Don't get me wrong, nothing happened that required shutting your eyes.Is the intensity of the earthquake increased!
But this earthquake has been going on for eight years. Everyone likes all kinds of big and small earthquakes. The people are well-trained and run out of their homes, and families gather together and stand in open places.Even if the situation in the sky above his head is getting more and more wrong, he still looks calm.The children fell asleep in the arms of the adults not long after, and the orphans without parents also nested together in twos and threes, lying on the mats laid by the teachers of the orphanage.
When the knights began to patrol, the parents discussed the order of sentry, and those who should fall asleep also closed their eyes.
What Eldi should do is to ride Dandan around the city, and stop to show everyone when he goes to a crowded place, so as to calm people's hearts—Dandan has also grown from a milk cat to a big cat, The body of the cat family is actually not suitable for a mount, but Eggy is big enough. It has not fully grown up yet, but it also weighs nearly three tons. It squats like a hill, and it is fixed with eight special belts. saddle.Eldy sits on it very stably, and it won't affect the movement of the ball or strangle it.
Going around in a circle, Eldy got off Eggy and looked at the sky.Today's sky is beautiful, with all kinds of bright lights shining together, just like the legendary aurora in the extreme north covering the sky.
"The ground in the north of the city is cracked!" Someone came to inform, and everyone who was idle immediately started to move.
Overnight, the wooden house that had been modified many times still collapsed in yesterday's earthquake. It is conceivable how strong the earthquake was, and some demon believers fished in troubled waters at night, so that a small-scale earthquake occurred riots.But when the sun comes up, things will get better...
"Boom——!!!!" With a dull loud noise coming from the ground, the whole earth began to tilt to one side!The speed of this incline was extremely fast, and people fell to the ground before they could react, rolling down one by one.The houses on both sides of the road were still intact, but the foundations were so complete that whole houses began to slide down.
"Light!" "Guardian!" "Bear Power!" "Tree Roots!"
The knights of different churches stimulated their own strength, their bodies flashed with grudges, and they went up to the thousand to block the collapsed houses.
"Run down! Run down!" Eldi was on the ground, a huge shield of golden light was stuck on the ground, blocking a row of houses, Eggy was beside it, directly relying on physical strength to tyrannize, and also blocked house on the other side.
A dozen or so people were probably frightened and stupid, desperately trying to climb up, but as ordinary people, they are weak and rolled down after climbing a few steps. After all, the slope of the ground is already [-] degrees, and it is heading towards [-] degrees. buried.The ground of the city has been compacted again. Although it is not paved with stone slabs, it is also very smooth. This kind of slope is not so easy to climb.
The slope didn't end up at seventy degrees because the ground started to cave in.Piece by piece, like collapsed building blocks, and as far as the eye can see, they are all collapsing downwards!In this case, unless they can fly, even the awakened ones cannot protect themselves.
When Eldi sat on Dandan and fell down, he was full of unwillingness—has struggled to live until now, but in the end he couldn’t hold on?
He stared at the sky with wide eyes, he won't close his eyes, he wants to see the last moment of his life!
Staring and staring, Eldy felt something was wrong, because although the cloud in the sky was still floating, it hadn't continued to shrink, as if...he hadn't continued to fall downward for several seconds.Is this the end?so low?
"Ah——!" "Meow——!" Eldy was about to see what was going on, when he was startled by the sudden upward force, and Eggy screamed with him, long time no see The meow sounds are all brought out.
He was lifted from the collapsed ground, along with thousands of other people and livestock.Swaying lotus-leaf-like tentacles lift them high into the sky.
"Eldi." A strange and clear boy's voice sounded behind him, and Erdi turned his head sharply!
A slender and thin half-devil boy stood there, with black hair and black eyes, and two ram horns bent backwards on his head, one was incomplete and the other was intact.
"Leon!" Eldy snapped the saddle belt - this special lion saddle was improved based on the heavy knight's saddle. The saddle can firmly fix the knight's waist down on the back of the beast. In addition, this kind of leather belt made of special animal skin is very strong. Even if Eldi is now a 4th-level warrior, he is only one step away from a [-]th-level knight. It shouldn't be so easy to pull it off. .
The belt snapped, and Eldy kicked on the thick flesh of Eggy's back and leaped towards Leon.
Eldi's enthusiasm also surprised Leon. He opened his mouth slightly, but soon smiled and caught Eldi.When Eldy hugged Leon tightly, his sanity returned instantly: "Go! Let's get out of here!"
Leon is the one who guards the volcano. Now that he has left the volcano, he must be unable to guard it.The demons are about to devour everything, but they can escape, they must escape: "Let's go to..."
"Hush!" Leon covered his lips, "Didn't you notice? The wind is blowing hard, the temperature is getting lower and lower, and it's going to rain."
"???" Eldi couldn't distract the surroundings at all just now, Leon said so, and he started to pay attention to the surroundings.
Really, it was windy, and it was very strong, not to the level of a typhoon, but the whistling wind also blew up the debris on the ground, the gravel and gravel made him unable to open his eyes.
