"Without the intervention of extraordinary beings, if we want to regain the lost territory and expel Hai Lan, I believe we can do it. Assuming this, we still lose the war, then we will admit it." This is Shannon's original words, and it is precisely because of this
These words made Angel develop some affection for this cute-looking girl princess.
A woman who sized up the situation, dedicated herself to serving the country, and went into battle two months after giving birth to her child, had a unique temperament that exuded from the inside out.
Of course, although Angel had a favorable impression of Shannon's behavior, it was not because of this favorable impression that he would agree to the other party.
As a wizard who believes in equal exchange, the reason why he is willing to accept Shannon's request is actually mainly because he is very concerned about the news about the knight's sword.
How did an ordinary knight's sword become infected with the element of slight fire?
As an alchemist, he was very interested in this issue; because Angel believed that it was difficult for the sword to inherit the power of elements due to its material, he wanted to find out.
Moreover, the micro-fire element is actually an extension of the fire element. How the micro-fire element was successfully gathered in the old continent where the elements are thin and inert made Angel also very curious.
He had a vague guess in his mind that Shannon's secret was related to the "Mystery of the Disappearing Elements" mission?
It is precisely for this reason that even if Angel is in retreat, he is willing to take two days to come and have a look.
Angel glanced at Shannon who couldn't suppress his joy: "Is it time for you to tell your secret now?"
Shannon looked a little hesitant, and she was a little worried. If she said it now, would Angel just stop?
"Actually, I want to know your secret. There are many ways. I can get the secret without even letting you notice it." Angel paused: "But I didn't do this. Since I promised you
Your request will naturally be fulfilled.”
Shannon also knew that the wizard's methods were mysterious, and Angel might actually know this kind of "mind-reading" technique. Thinking of this, Shannon finally nodded.
"Actually, the treasure that gives the knight's sword the power of elements is a kind of..." Shannon's story was very short, because the royal family didn't have much idea about this treasure.
"Stalal emulsion?" Angel was a little surprised. He always thought it was something that could absorb elements, so that it fit the task of "the mystery of the disappearance of elements." But what he didn't expect was that it was just a strange thing.
of stalactite lotion.
According to Shannon's account, this stalactite is a liquid dripping from a stalactite that has existed for an unknown number of years in the secret underground palace of the royal family.
Every thirty years, a drop of liquid will drip from the stalactite. Anything placed at the dripping point will be dyed with certain elemental properties as long as it carries this drop of liquid.
In the eyes of the Shannon royal family, items that best exert their elemental properties are naturally weapons that can be used in all attacks.
Therefore, every thirty years they will choose a weapon they think is the best and place it at the drop point until the stalactite emulsion arrives.
"Every drop of stalactite emulsion will contaminate the weapon with micro-fire elements?" Angel asked Shannon.
Shannon nodded and shook his head: "It will be contaminated with elemental properties, but it is not necessarily the fire element. There is a plate contaminated with the water element in the royal family's treasure house. Every once in a while, clean water will collect in the plate, even if
No matter how dry the environment is, it will be the same.”
Next, Shannon gave some examples of the savings of previous generations of the Shannon royal family: daggers sharp enough to cut through gold and iron, knives that emit cold air, sticks that produce sand and dust when swung...
The names of these weapons are very lofty, similar to the Thorn of the Gods, the Gaze of the Winter Goddess, the Return of Ten Thousand Wheels... Even the knight's sword that Shannon shattered before actually has a formal name: Murathil's
anger.
In the Old Continent, it is said that the real name of the God of Fire is Murathil.
Ignoring the name that makes people want to complain, Angel is more concerned about the stalactite, which can actually drip stalactite with different elements?
Angel's previous speculation was that the so-called stalactite may be an extremely stable element polymerization liquid. Otherwise, it would not be able to be integrated into other objects so easily.
But no matter how stable it is, it is impossible for a stalactite to condense elements of completely different properties, right? After all, no matter how stable the structure of the elements is, some reactions will eventually occur when encountering conflicting elements, such as water and fire.
But this stalactite can actually produce water-based stalactite, fire-based stalactite, and even other types... This completely subverted Angel's imagination.
Unless, that stalactite is a mysterious thing!
But soon, Angel began to doubt this speculation. If it is really a mysterious thing, it should release mysterious properties when it condenses stalactite. It will naturally be detected by other wizards, and it will not always exist in the Shannon royal family.
.
No matter what the specific situation is, once you finish dealing with the person who summoned the heart-eating ghost, go to the capital city of Sambia and see the truth about the stalactite.
Thinking of this, Angel no longer asked about the stalactites, but gradually calmed down.
Haiyue City is a port city. Vichy Harbor, the largest port in the Golden Bird Empire, is located here. It was here that Angel landed aboard the Bauhinia.
Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with the location of Haiyue City.
It was four o'clock in the afternoon when they set off from Gru Town; and when they arrived at Haiyue City, it was just approaching dusk.
After getting off the gondola, Angel and Shannon arrived at the garrison camp outside Haiyue City.
Along the way, the soldiers who saw Shannon saluted one after another. However, Angel could see that everyone in this group of soldiers looked helpless and their morale was very low.
Moreover, in addition to awe, they looked at Shannon with pity and sympathy in their eyes.
Many soldiers had mixed expressions about Shannon's arrival and hesitated to speak.
When Angel and Shannon arrived at the big tent, Shannon sighed and said, "I made the wizard laugh."
"If we use the morale of this group of soldiers to fight Hailan, I'm afraid that even if I restrain the opponent's extraordinary beings, Jinque will have no chance of winning." Angel said in a neutral tone.
"The morale of the army is frightened by the heart-eating ghost. As long as the heart-eating ghost can be dealt with, I believe the morale of the army will be restored."
Angel did not refute, but simply said: "I hope so."
Before arriving at Haiyue City, Shannon had already told Angel that they did not need to take the initiative to find the extraordinary person, because Shannon was the general of the Haiyue City garrison, and the other party would definitely be watching her. Every beheading operation would be the first to do so.
It must be the general who dies, not to mention that she is still a royal princess. Killing her will definitely demoralize the military.
Therefore, as long as they swagger into the military camp, Hailan's spy will tell the transcendent, and the heart-eating ghost himself will come to the door.
Precisely because everyone understood this situation, when Shannon returned to the military camp, all the soldiers looked at her with pity, because the heart-eating ghost must have been targeting her.
In the hearts of the soldiers, Shannon was basically labeled as dead.
"If there is no accident, the other party will take action tonight." Shannon leaned on the felt bench in the tent and said to Angel.
Angel sat by the window, lifted up the curtain made of raincloth and looked outside. He found that there were very few people outside the big tent. It could even be said that there was no one else except a knight in shining armor.
Angel told the situation outside.
Shannon said: "I pushed aside the guards outside. Once the heart-eating ghosts come, the guards will naturally become cannon fodder. It's better to let them leave. And generally, the heart-eating ghosts only kill generals and leave after killing them. There is no need to hurt them.
Other soldiers."
"As for the knight in golden armor, he is General Aaron who followed me to Yamei Province this time. He is also from the Meng family. I originally wanted him to leave too, but he didn't listen and wanted to be with Shi Xin.
Fight ghosts and take revenge.”
Angel: "You dare to come even though you know you're outmatched. That's courageous, but it's a pity that you've lost your mind."
While waiting for the other party to come to him, Angel was not idle and continued to think about some of the keys to "dreaming".
When the moon rose into the sky and the candlelight flickered in the tent, he slowly opened his eyes.
The entire camp was quiet, and everyone seemed to be asleep. However, Angel discovered through his mental tentacles that most of the soldiers did not rest, but looked silently in the direction of the tent, with eyes that seemed to be filled with confusion.
Pray that the heart-eating ghost will not come.
Angel suddenly remembered a question and curiously asked Shannon: "The extraordinary person wrote to you and asked for the treasure... Then where did he find out this secret?"
"This matter is also our negligence." Shannon sighed deeply: "After receiving the letter, my father was furious, thinking that this secret could not be known to outsiders, and there must be a traitor in the royal family.
Later, after careful investigation, we found that the third princess was missing, and then after investigation, we discovered the correspondence between her and Hailan from the third princess."
"The third princess turned out to be from Hailan. She initially approached the third brother deliberately, just to break into the royal family and obtain war information. However, the war information was not obtained. Instead, she learned that there was a gun in the secret treasure house of the third brother that could ejaculate.
Red Lotus Bow with flaming arrows.”
"But Third Brother actually doesn't know about stalactites. He only knows that the royal family has a treasure that can make elemental weapons."
"Later, the third princess deliberately got the third brother drunk, and the news she got was passed to Hailan through underground pipes. It is estimated that it was at this time that the other party's transcendent targeted him."
Shannon suddenly burst into tears when she said this.
"It was precisely because of the betrayal of the third princess and the fact that the news came from the third brother that the third brother felt guilty. When the heart-eating ghost attacked the royal family, he sacrificed himself, opened the treasure and defeated the heart-eating ghost.
"
After Angel heard this, he was originally going to ask her what the treasure was that could defeat the Heart-eating Ghost.
However, seeing that Shannon was in sorrow, he still didn't ask anything. He would naturally know about it when he went to the capital.
As the night got darker, when the moon reached its zenith, and the candlelight shone in the big tent, Angel suddenly opened his eyes.
