413 Jialong: The seventh-order scepter is related to my dragon court
The Duke of Wind's retreat is within the Ai Valley.
Surrounded by rock flowers and stream gardens, Sestra and Godart's figures slowly emerged, using their blood as a key to pass through the Ai Valley barrier and enter it.
The seven-section scepter is a sacred object created by the Wind Duke Empire during its heyday.
During the battle between Order and Chaos, when a Duke of Wind hero pierced the body of the Wolf Spider Miska, he also received the authority of the gods and the extraordinary divine power reinforcement and increase. Even though there were only three sections left at this time, it was still a piece of
A treasure-level sacred object.
It protects the entire Ai Valley and serves as the core of Ai Valley.
If there is an invasion from a foreign enemy, with the strength of the Dukes of Wind and the protection of the three-section scepter, unless a large-scale and high-quality legion attacks, it will be difficult to capture Aigu.
There are very few Wind Dukes in Ai Valley.
However, because they are immortal creatures, a small number of them have even experienced the battle between Order and Chaos. Their ages are difficult to trace, and their individual strength has reached the level of demigods.
If Garleons were as old as them, they could already declare themselves invincible.
Although the Duke of Wind is an immortal, his talent limit is not high, and it takes an extremely long time to become a demigod. Moreover, if there are no adventures, it will be difficult to make progress.
However, for the Dukes of Wind who live in the main material world.
The demigod level is enough, because this is the ultimate limit that the main material world can allow.
Although Aigu is not strong at this time, there are still more than a dozen ancient demigods, plus the three-section scepter, which is enough to face many unexpected threats.
This is also the reason why the demons are standing still, lurking and waiting.
If it is not possible to capture Ai Valley with the power of thunder, attract the attention of the gods during the battle, and attract the incarnations of the gods to come to support the Duke of Wind, the Abyss Demon will return in vain, and the future Duke of Wind will
They will only become more vigilant.
In this case, I don’t know how many more years of searching it will take before we can find traces of Ai Gu again.
So, the Queen of Chaos waited patiently.
She is waiting for a suitable opportunity.
Among the endless creatures and gods in the endless planes of today's multiverse, perhaps, only the Queen of Chaos understands the scepter and Aigu better than the ordinary Duke of Wind, and the ancient Duke of Wind who has lived from ancient times to the present.
None of them are comparable.
From Miska the Wolf Spider, the general, prince, and lover of the Queen of Chaos, from the moment it was sealed.
After Chaos, he tried every means to rescue it from the seal.
Therefore, she had an in-depth understanding of the immortal creatures such as the Duke of Wind, their Ai Valley clan land and the sacred scepter, and had been following Ai Valley's traces, almost catching them several times.
The moment when Aigu's barrier is at its weakest, that is, the opportunity that the Queen of Chaos is waiting for, is the moment when Aigu breaks through the plane barrier and is about to migrate to other main material worlds.
At this moment.
Aigu will expend most of its power to teleport through the planes, smooth out space fluctuations, cover its own traces, etc... This will temporarily weaken Aigu's barrier.
"Godart, what do you think of this trip to the outside world?"
Sestra and Godart walked towards the center of Ai Valley together. At the same time, Sestra asked the young Duke of Wind and said.
They have all returned to their original form.
He has a tall and sturdy humanoid body, with ebony-like skin with distinct textures, and is about three meters tall like a little giant.
The Duke of Wind, who was three thousand years old and had just come of age, pondered for a moment, and then said: "Unlike the orderly Ai Valley, outside the Ai Valley, I saw order, chaos, kindness, evil...
.The thinking and viciousness of some creatures are unimaginable to me, but there are also a small number of creatures whose adherence to order and respect for life make me admire them."
In the past, he could be favored by the gods of order.
The Duke of Wind's nature is undoubtedly lawful and good.
Even though they were almost destroyed in the war and weakened to the point where there are only a few hundred clansmen now, the vast majority of the Wind Dukes are still kind-hearted and abide by order.
Sestra nodded and said calmly: "Wherever there is light, there is shadow. Where there is order, there is naturally the opposite chaos."
"Ai Valley is a place of order. If you have lived and grown up in a world of order since childhood, your way of thinking will inevitably fall into a monotonous and noble situation. But I hope you know that order is not the only one. Only by adhering to order in a world full of chaos can you be more confident.
rare."
"Now it seems that you have understood this."
Each Duke of the Wind can basically only have one heir in his life, and many harsh conditions are required to give birth to heirs. It is rare to have multiple heirs. This has led to this race of immortals suffering heavy losses.
Afterwards, without external help, it will be difficult to return to its original heyday.
therefore.
Every clan member is the most precious property of the Wind Dukes of Ai Valley. Even when a new clan member is born, Ai Valley will celebrate with the whole clan and hold a ceremony.
The elders of Ai Valley are very interested in the teachings of the young Wind Duke.
While walking towards the center of Ai Valley, the two of them had just returned to Ai Valley, and the Duke of Wind, one big and one small, was communicating with each other.
Seeing that the young Duke of Wind's eyes were wandering, as if he was worried, Sestra's eyes moved slightly and said: "Are you worried about Nayou and Charles?"
Charles..........referring to the little silver dragon transformed by Galen, who used his brother's name.
Godart nodded and said: "After leaving us, I don't know if they will encounter danger again, and if they encounter danger, they will be able to turn the crisis around..."
With a sigh, the young Duke of Wind looked clearly worried and looked outside Ai Valley in the direction away from Yuna and Garen.
After a year of adventure on the planet Frances, the young Duke of Wind, who had just come into contact with the outside world, found it hard to forget this experience and could not ignore the young warlock and the little silver dragon. But Ai Gu was about to leave, and as the Wind Duke
They can only leave and cannot let other creatures enter the Ai Valley.
"Don't worry."
Sestra said calmly.
It is not the most powerful and oldest Duke of Wind in the clan, but it is still old enough, exceeding the age of 10,000 years old. It has accumulated enough wisdom and vision to see through the appearance of many things and see the essence.
"They'll be fine."
"Although I can't be sure, I'm afraid that this near-miss experience along the way is precisely because of Nayou and Charles who were traveling with us."
Neither the girl warlock nor the little silver dragon has great strength, and they are weak and helpless when encountering danger. However, in Sestra's eyes, there seems to be a thick mist surrounding the girl warlock and the little silver dragon, making it difficult to understand and see through.
.
The elder's intuition told Sestra that these two travelers from another world who met by chance were not as simple as they appeared.
But that's all it knows.
"Why do you say that?"
Godart was a little confused.
It can't see anything anyway.
Sestra thought about it seriously, then shook her head and said softly: "It's just the experience and intuition of some older people. I always trust my intuition."
Hearing the words of the elder Duke of Wind, Godart was thoughtful and said: "Could it be that the strong ones in their family have not been thrown away, but are just following the guards secretly? And they are even stronger than you,
So you can't find out."
Sestra pondered: "It's possible."
"However, after a year, no trace has been revealed, which makes it impossible for me to intuitively detect it... If there is someone secretly, the opponent's strength may be almost as strong as the oldest elder in the clan."
The Duke of Wind.
As you can tell from the name, this type of immortal creature has wind-related abilities. Wherever the wind flows, the Duke of Wind's perception sensitivity will exceed the imagination of ordinary creatures. Therefore, Sestra said what she just said.
Those who can hide from its wind domain perception are most likely to be creatures that are one level above it.
Talking and talking.
Two Wind Dukes came to the center of Ai Valley.
What comes into view is a raised staircase covered with flowers and grass. On the top platform, a three-section golden scepter is inserted. A dull glow emanates from the scepter and permeates the entire place.
In the air of Ai Valley.
According to the tradition of Ai Valley.
The Duke of Wind who returns from the outside world will pray to the three-sectioned scepter and be shrouded in the light of the scepter to drive away the pollution or curses that may be contaminated from the outside world and receive the protection of the three-sectioned scepter.
In fact, there will be a baptism when crossing the Ai Valley Barrier.
General curses, magic marks, etc. will be eliminated directly.
But compared to praying directly to the three-sectioned scepter, the effect is much worse.
In addition, the Duke of Wind often comes here on weekdays to pray to the holy objects for a better future for Ai Valley, the safety of his people, etc.
"The core of the sacred Ai Valley, the golden scepter of the wind."
"Sestra, Godart, the returning travelers pray to you, please give us your sacred light, so that we can bathe in it, wash away the wounds, soothe the soul, and drive away evil...
..."
The two Wind Dukes raised their necks and closed their eyes slightly.
The three-section scepter standing quietly casts a richer light, like a golden curtain, covering the Duke of Wind.
Under the light of the scepter, the two Dukes of Wind seemed to be very comfortable, with peaceful and peaceful expressions on their faces, almost forgetting the passage of time in the outside world.
On the Duke of Wind's body, two ring-like marks were looming, disappearing in the light.
At the same time.
In a small town on the outskirts of the Endless Forest, in an exquisite hotel room with a rose-red interior and a faint scent of incense in the air, a man with silver hair, eyes as deep as stars, and a distant temperament moved his eyes slightly and let out a light sigh.
.
It was Garen who was rarely able to maintain his human form and was currently cuddling with Yuna, who had transformed into a young sorcerer.
"What's wrong?"
The girl raised her eyelids and said in a lazy tone.
"The time mark I placed on the Duke of Wind has been erased."
Garen looked towards the direction of Ai Valley and said.
When the time mark changed, he felt something in his heart, looked at the surrounding situation through the time mark, and then saw the time mark being gradually eliminated under the light of the three-section golden scepter.
"This is probably the remaining part of the legendary seven-segmented scepter that seriously injured Miska the Wolf Spider."
"Although the time mark is just a mark I made casually, the concealment effect is very strong, and ordinary gods and saints cannot detect it."
"Able to discover time marks and erase them... It is worthy of being a sacred object of the Duke of Wind Empire in its heyday, a creation that can seriously injure the Demon Prince."
Garen has locked the location of Ai Gu.
Although Ai Valley has a magic circle that confuses detection, after the time stamp expires, it is reasonable to say that it will directly confuse the direction, but for Garen who has discovered its location, it does not have a good effect. Since he is within the long river of time,
It's hard to escape Garen's perception.
Garen's perception ability used to be based on the perception ability of a true dragon.
Elemental vision, energy perception, biological smell, heat, vibration, etc.
However, as time goes by, his strength increases, and his connection with the River of Time strengthens. Now Garen's perception is mainly through the River of Time. Most of the defense and detection methods are not effective against Garen.
"Moreover, the seven-section scepter is powerful because it is the top creation of an immortal empire in the main material world, and it has been blessed by the divine power and authority of almost all the gods of order."
Back then, when the hero of the Duke of Wind pierced the body of Miska the Wolf Spider with a seven-section scepter at the cost of his own death.
Whether it was the Gods of Order whose true form came to the main material world, or the gods outside the material world, they all keenly discovered the good opportunity to seal the demon general, and worked together to bless the seven-section scepter.
Blessings from gods are never empty talk.
Formal blessing requires the deity to expend extraordinary divine power.
Even for a mortal, if he is lucky enough to be blessed by the combined efforts of the gods of order, he may be able to directly reach the top of the world and become a god-like power.
Generally speaking, it is rare for items or creatures to be blessed by one god. Given the arrogance of the gods, the possibility of multiple gods blessing the same item or creature at the same time is extremely slim.
Therefore, the experience of the Seven-section Scepter is difficult to repeat.
It is unique.
"The seven-section scepter has four sections pierced into the body of Miska the Wolf Spider, blocking its power."
"As for erasing the remaining part of my time mark...the abyss demon hiding in the endless forest is most likely doing it for the remaining three sections of the scepter."
Yuna in the girl form blinked her purple eyes and said covetously: "It sounds like a good thing. If you save the Dukes of Wind in Ai Valley, these three-section scepter will not be too much as a reward."
Garen smiled and said: "The Abyss Demon has been pursuing Ai Gu, not to kill the Duke of Wind, but for the scepter."
"Let Long Ting keep the scepter, and Ai Gu can return to peace."
"In addition, it is better to keep this kind of dangerous item that can unlock a demon prince by yourself."
In the final analysis, it is the true dragon's nature to collect strange treasures.
"I'm going to leave here first and make preparations for what may happen next."
"The opponent is a demon after all, and it is very likely that he will encounter Chaos, so he needs to be more cautious."
In fact, Galleon can ask for help from the Gods of Order.
If nothing else, the gods of Tiantian Mountain will definitely be happy to take action against the devil, but by then the gods will have reason to take back the remaining three-section scepter.
Originally, they didn't want to leave this kind of item to the Duke of Wind for safekeeping.
But the scepter was originally created by the Duke of Wind.
Faced with the Duke of Wind, who had made great contributions to the Gods of Order and whose entire clan was almost destroyed, the Gods of Order did not directly ask for the scepter after the original war because of their dignity.
Later, Ai Gu escaped from the world, not only to avoid demons.
The Duke of Wind is also avoiding the eyes of the gods and does not want to be involved with the gods.
"What are you going to do to prepare?"
Yuna asked curiously.
Garen smiled slightly and said: "Set a trap for these demons in advance, just in time to test your new abilities."
After a pause, under Yuna's gaze, Garen explained: "A new ability that I awakened after waking up is very suitable for situations where the enemy has been discovered in advance, but the other party knows nothing about it."
Next, an imperceptible faint silver light flew out of the hotel room and entered the endless forest.
Avoiding the location of the abyss demon, and without disturbing the demon, this silver light wandered throughout the endless forest, stopping at a certain place from time to time, stopping for a moment, and then changing to the next position, and so on.
.
.
.
Within the Ai Valley.
Sestra and Godart, as the light of the scepter gradually faded away, the two Dukes of Wind slowly opened their eyes, feeling as if their whole bodies had been purified, comfortable and warm.
at the same time.
After opening their eyes, they saw a figure at the top of the stairs where the scepter was enshrined, almost next to the scepter. They did not know when to appear there, standing silently.
Looking at the person who suddenly appeared, neither Sestra nor Godart showed any alert expressions.
Instead, the two Wind Dukes saluted and said in a respectful tone: "Elder Kryns (ancestor), be well."
The figure that appears near the scepter is also a Duke of Wind.
More textures can be seen on its ebony skin, arranged in an orderly manner and criss-crossing. In the eyes of the Duke of Wind, these textures tell the passage of ancient times.
Ai Valley does not have a unified leader, and is led by the twelve eldest elders who jointly make decisions.
These elders have all experienced the battle between Order and Chaos. They are the ancient Dukes of Wind who have lived from an era that is difficult to trace to the present. Because of the characteristics of hermaphroditic self-reproduction, most of the Dukes of Wind in Ai Valley at this time are the descendants of these elders.
Descendants and heirs.
Kryns.
One of the twelve demigod elders in Ai Valley, and the direct ancestor of Sestra, who is more than 20,000 years old, she is just a junior in front of Kryns.
Kryns has a pair of dull eyes.
Turning its gaze, it looked at Sestra and the newly adult Duke of Wind, and said, "Just came back from the outside world?"
Its voice was weak, like the low cry of the wind that was about to dissipate. In the ears of the Wind Duke's fellow tribesmen, it sounded a bit world-weary.
The two Wind Dukes nodded and said, "Yes."
Kryns withdrew his gaze and just looked at the three-section scepter silently, with a look of reminiscence in his eyes, as if he was recalling the glory of the Duke of Wind Empire in the past, and said no more words.
However, the occasional change of expression reveals a hint of undisguised hatred and dejection.
after a while.
Noticing that the two Wind Dukes had not left and were praying to the scepter, Kryns looked at the broken scepter with only three sections left and said: "You said, if we had not assisted the gods of order in the war,
If we try our best to protect ourselves, what will Ai Valley look like now?"
Sestra hesitated and did not answer.
The young Godart thought for a while and said: "In that case, there may still not be many of the same people in Ai Valley. After all, the empire is still there, and we don't need to hide in Ai Valley to live in seclusion."
When he heard the word empire, Kryns was silent for a moment, then nodded and said calmly: "You are right."
"If the empire was still there, newly-adult tribesmen like you could travel around the outside world at will and be respected and feared, instead of being ignored like now."
As if mocking himself, Kryns said: "When it comes to the Duke of Wind now, how many creatures will know about us?"
"I paid the price of blood and fire, but only received the title of Pioneer of Order, and a fragmented and almost destroyed race."
"If I could do it over again, I would try my best to make the empire decide to stand by and do nothing instead of helping the gods to fight against the devil."
It is no longer talking to Sestra and the others, it is just venting the heavy dissatisfaction accumulated in its heart.
"However, you cannot turn back time, and what has happened will not change again."
After saying that, regardless of Sestra and the others' responses, Kryns looked at the scepter, staring quietly like a sculpture.
Immediately, Sestra and Godart saluted farewell, and then left the center of the Ai Valley. After they left, Kryns remained where he was, as motionless as a statue.
"Half of the elders give me the feeling that they are very gloomy and worried, and they don't like the gods."
On the way, the young Duke of Wind said.
Sestra's eyes narrowed and she said in a scolding tone: "Don't talk about the elders. They have experienced the battle between order and chaos, witnessed the demise of our empire with their own eyes, and led Ai Valley to recuperate during the lowest period, so that we are what we are today.
, without the elders, our race has completely perished."
The young Duke of Wind was still curious.
"But why..."
It continued to ask.
"You'll understand later."
Sestra sighed and interrupted Godart's unspoken question.
Although she has not experienced the era of the elders, Sestra understands the psychology of the elders.
The Dukes of Wind are ordered and good by nature, but that doesn't mean they won't have emotions such as disappointment, hatred, anger, etc.
They are different from the young Wind Dukes who were born later and only heard about the various situations of the Wind Duke Empire, the predecessor of Ai Valley, in history.
The ancient elders who participated in the war between Order and Chaos once watched helplessly as the gods stood idly by in order to protect themselves. They watched helplessly as their kindred died, rivers of blood flowed, and the empire was shattered...
After such an experience, it is naturally difficult to maintain a normal mind.
Not to mention, the declining Ai Valley at this time, in contrast, is constantly reminding them of the strength of their former empire.
Also, some time after the war ended.
There is a theory in Duke of Wind that the Wolf Spider Miska and its demon army happened to retreat into the main material world where the Duke of Wind Empire is located. This is because the gods deliberately drove them to weaken their growing strength through the hands of demons.
of the immortal empire.
Whether this argument is true or false, no one can be sure.
But what is certain is that an empire composed entirely of immortal creatures in the main material world is not a good thing for the gods.
The stronger you are, the easier it is to lack awe.
As an immortal creature and in the Order camp, the original Wind Duke Empire had good relations with the God of Order and had certain connections, but did not believe in the God.
And in any case, the weakening of the Duke of Wind has become an established fact, and it is closely related to the deity's actions in the war to encircle and suppress the demon prince.
So far, half of the elders in Ai Valley hate the gods.
Affected by them, some of the older Wind Dukes like Sestra also hate the gods, but they rarely show it.
After all, what's the use of hating?
The gods are high above, but they are just lingering on the fringes, almost forgotten by the world.
Time passes quietly.
During this period of time, the Wind Dukes in Ai Valley began to gather at the scepter position more frequently than usual to pray.
Because Ai Gu is about to leave here and go to the next main material world. The Dukes of the Wind are praying for blessings, hoping that Ai Gu can still be safe and peaceful in the next main material world and have no disputes with the world.
Just like that, two months later.
In the Ai Valley where the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant and the temperature is pleasant, twelve Wind Duke elders are sitting in a ring around the golden scepter. They raise their right hands, and the cyan flowing wind is like a chain, bursting out from the wrist of each Wind Duke elder.
A golden scepter with three sections connected.
It is not an easy task to migrate to the Ai Valley space, take the entire Ai Valley and the clan members away, and safely reach another main material world.
They require full concentration.
Buzz buzz...
As the three-section scepter trembled, golden light that could not be seen by the outside world burst out from the scepter, rendering the entire Ai Valley into a golden kingdom.
