The rosin torch was half burned, and there were five "prey" that had not yet been captured.
The five girls still disappeared in the woods. Of course Du Wei would not kindly think that Lu Gao would really spare these poor girls. But since he made a bet, Du Wei asked himself, at least he can try his best to save a little more
s life.
"Then...let's begin!"
As the master, General Lu Gao announced the start of the gambling game. Dozens of his northwest army cavalry began to disperse into the woods on horseback.
Du Wei looked at Master Tata Yalo, smiled and bowed. His movements were elegant and his tone was easy-going: "Master Tata Yalo, please go first."
This Tatayalo's eyes were more white than black. He gave Du Wei a cold look and said he was not polite. He stood up slightly and dressed in a black robe, floating like a ghost, following him from the sky.
He pulled out a bone wand from his body, tapped it lightly in the air, and muttered something in his mouth, and a mass of black energy emitted from the wand. Although the distance was far away, many generals of the Northwest Army could faintly feel the black energy.
There was a chilling chill contained in it, and it also had a vaguely creepy smell. Everyone couldn't help but subconsciously take a few steps back.
With a few soft clicks, several formidable skeleton arms broke out of the ground above the ground, and then several skeleton soldiers broke out of the ground and crawled out of the ground. The quality of these skeleton soldiers was quite good, judging from Du Wei's eyes
Come on, most of their bones are complete. The bones are hard and have a metallic color. Although many of the armors on their bodies have cracks, most of them are still intact. Obviously, this Tattayallo's family background is quite rich.
, even this low-level skeleton soldier can be equipped with such armor.
Then Tata Yaluo uttered spells again and again. Under the eyes of everyone, he waved his bone wand a few times, and several cracks suddenly opened in the air, forming black holes. From the black space cracks,
A shrill roar was heard. Then several undead knights riding black horses jumped out of the crack!
Each of these undead knights' whole bodies were filled with black flames, and the war horses under their crotches were all undead creatures, full of ferocity, especially the deathly aura emanating from their bodies, which made many people standing close to them unbearable.
I felt a wave of chills, as if a cold breath rushed from my heels to the back of my head.
When approaching this undead creature, many of the war horses under the generals immediately retreated as if full of fear, and some even became irritable and restless. Even if the knights on the horses tried to comfort them, it had little effect.
Tata Yaluo's breathtaking laughter sounded, as if with a hint of pride. Then he waved his wand a few times, summoning these skeleton soldiers and undead knights under him, and he let out a kind of Lian Duwei sound.
He couldn't understand the strange language, as if he was communicating with these undead creatures. Finally, he pointed his wand to the distance in the forest and waved it hard...
All the undead creatures seemed to have received the order. The five undead knights immediately jumped out and galloped towards the forest. The skeleton soldiers were also dissatisfied with their actions and immediately scattered into the forest.
Tatayalo sneered, glanced at Du Wei, and laughed in a harsh voice: "Your Excellency, I'm leaving first!"
After saying that, he raised his arms and floated into the forest like a ghost.
Du Wei watched the black magician enter the forest, a hint of gloom flashed across his face, and then he smiled again and glanced at General Lu Gao: "General... your chief magic advisor is indeed extraordinary.
!”
Lu Gao smiled slightly: "Du Wei, you're welcome. You are a well-known genius magician in the imperial capital. Let us also experience your magical magic."
Du Wei pondered for a while. The black magician can summon many undead creatures as his helpers. There are five people hiding in such a large forest. It is really difficult to search them inch by inch without hurting the other party.
Life, large-scale indiscriminate covering attack magic, cannot be used.
Just...summoning tree people to help you search? But it doesn't work! Because those tree people are the lowest level tree people companions. They have no wisdom and self-awareness and can only do some simple physical work according to Du Wei's instructions.
But humans can't.
Thinking of this, Du Wei felt certain in his heart and smiled on his face.
He deliberately showed off, but floated in the air calmly, and then let out a long whistle.
The whistle seemed to be faintly like some kind of call. The sound was continuous and spread deep into the forest. Just when Lu Gao and others looked puzzled, a buzzing sound suddenly came from the forest!
The buzzing sound seemed to be coming from all directions. When they got closer, everyone was surprised to find that these were countless birds of various types that inhabited the woods! There were hummingbirds from the northwest, yellow-feathered birds, etc.
Birds, there are cuckoos...and a few owls!
Nearly a hundred birds flew in front of us, but they all seemed to land on the branches and surround Du Wei.
Under everyone's surprised eyes, Du Wei's whistling voice seemed to be communicating with the birds. The birds seemed to have received Du Wei's order. With a buzz, more than a hundred birds flew high in all directions.
Sneaked into the woods.
When others saw it, they couldn't help but have surprise written on their faces: What kind of magic is this?
I have only heard that magicians can summon magical creatures, or subdue monsters to be used as pets... but I have never heard of any magic that can summon so many ordinary natural creatures, right?
And he seems to be able to communicate with these birds? Is it possible that this Duke can also sing birds?
But Du Wei surprised them far more than that.
After driving away the birds, Du Wei laughed and fell to the ground. Suddenly he roared to the sky, and the roar was like a wolf howling!
Not long after, several wolf howls were echoed from deep in the forest. Then gray shadows rushed out of the forest, and several hyenas came running. They all gathered in front of Du Wei.
The guards around Lu Gao immediately picked up their weapons and stopped in front of the general. The summoned hyenas looked strong, but seemed to be quite afraid of humans. Although they stopped in front of Du Wei,
In front of him, he seemed to be pawing his claws back and forth a little impatiently and grinning at the soldiers of the Northwest Army in the distance.
But Du Wei had already squatted down. He was shouting at a few hyenas and he didn't know what language he used to communicate with these animals. Anyway, after Du Wei stood up again, he raised his hand and pointed into the forest.
Several hyenas immediately opened their claws and rushed into the forest...
"Hahaha... Du Wei, you have opened our eyes!" Lu Gao took the lead to break the silence. The generals of the Northwest Army around him were still staring at each other, but Lu Gao's eyes had already flashed.
There was a glint of light. He smiled and said: "Duwei, what kind of magic is this? Even these beasts can obey your summons? I have only heard that black magicians can summon undead creatures, and most magicians can only
It's just a magical pet that can control you...you..."
Du Wei smiled slightly and did not answer, but changed the topic and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, Master Tata Yaluo can summon so many undead creatures. In order not to lose too ugly, I had to summon more, relying on
Quantity wins." He paused and then smiled and said: "Okay, I don't dare to stay here for a long time, otherwise, I'm afraid Master Tatayalo will act too quickly, and I will lose face."
After saying that, Du Wei dodged and landed on his horse. He shouted and galloped towards the woods, while Hussein followed closely behind him.
When Du Wei's figure disappeared into the forest, Lu Gao's face gradually darkened. Sebastian slowly came to Lu Gao's side and whispered: "Father."
Lu Gao raised his hand and then looked back: "Everyone, please step aside first."
The generals behind him looked stern and retreated on horseback from a distance.
"Father, look..." Sebastian's voice was low and full of worry.
"That's right...it's indeed 'Beauty Under the Moon'. But isn't this sword always in the hands of Rodriguez? Rodriguez's whereabouts are unknown, and we can't find that guy. And this sword
Beauty under the moon..."
Sebasta smiled coldly: "If Bai Hechou knew that the beauty under the moon was in the northwest, he would definitely come to snatch it away at all costs. Hmm... without this holy sword on the snow mountain, he, the Witch King of the Snow Mountain, would
The position is unjust and unjust!”
Lu Gao was silent for a while: "Back then, Gulan Xiu went down to the snow mountain and took this sword away... I have always been worried about one thing... that is Lan Hai! This guy is in the imperial capital, and he has done so many things secretly over the years.
Arrangement! Gu Lanxiu originally wanted to pass the position of the Witch King to Lan Hai. Although Bai Hechou is extremely powerful, without this holy sword, many secrets on the snowy mountains cannot be opened! I have always suspected that this sword is in Lan Hai's hand.
It's a pity that over the years, I have been searching openly and secretly, but I can't get any information... I even doubted... Could this old guy Gu Lanxiu have cheated his death and run away again? Could that Rodriguez be Gu Lanxiu?
Disciple! Otherwise, how could the beauty under the moon fall into the hands of an outsider... But today it seems that things have become complicated again!"
Sebastian thought for a while and said: "No matter what, this sword is now in the hands of this Du Wei, so the identity of this Du Wei..."
Lu Gao was silent, his eyes full of complexity and contradiction, and suddenly said: "Look at this Du Wei, could he be a disciple of Gu Lanxiu?"
Sebastian smiled: "Father is so confused! That guy Gu Lanxiu has been dead for decades. How old is this Du Wei? I think Du Wei is probably Lan Hai's apprentice. This beauty under the moon, maybe
It has always been in Lan Hai's hands, and now it has been passed to this Du Wei."
"Humph!" Lu Gao snorted coldly: "Originally, this beauty under the moon was in the hands of Rodriguez. That guy was a Paladin, and his whereabouts were elusive. We couldn't find him, so we had nothing to do. Now... Since
This sword is in the northwest, no matter what happens this time, we cannot let this sword be lost again!"
Sebastian sneered at the corner of his mouth: "Father, back then you didn't care about the position of the Witch King, so you allowed him Bai Hechou to become the Lord of the Snow Mountain. Why do you think so highly of this beauty under the moon?"
"What do you know!" Lu Gao said lightly: "I am now the leader of the northwest legion of the Roland Empire, commanding an army of 200,000 to dominate the northwest. Who can control me? How comfortable is this! Compared with Bai Hechou
It’s much better to be stuck at the top of a snow mountain, suffering from the cold all year round, and still holding on to that ridiculous snow mountain mission! Although I disdain the so-called snow mountain mission, there are still many things that I value on the snow mountain.
! Not to mention anything else... Just those things hidden on the snow-capped mountains. After I told you about them, wouldn't you be moved? Humph..."
Sebastian sighed: "It's just hateful... This old guy Gu Lanxiu, who loved Lan Hai and Bai Hechou with all his heart back then, treated you..."
"Shut up!" Lu Gao suddenly became furious and yelled at his son. His voice was fierce and he said fiercely: "Listen carefully! I have warned you many times! I can do it.
You can’t be disrespectful to Gu Lanxiu, but you can’t! No one can be disrespectful to Gu Lanxiu in front of me! Do you remember this!”
Sebastian was silent. He slowly took a few steps back, bowed and said, "It's...father!"
Lu Gao nodded with satisfaction, then looked up at the sky. He sighed quietly: "After all... this old guy Gu Lanxiu... is my... teacher!"
He looked up at the sky, while Sebastian standing next to him with his head bowed, a faint fierceness flashed in his eyes, and then disappeared.
After a long time, Lu Gao said leisurely: "Look at that guy Du Wei just now... what kind of magic did he cast? Doesn't it look like..."
Sebastian then raised his head and looked at his father: "I was also doubting... He was actually able to control so many natural creatures just now. I really miss the witchcraft on the snow-capped mountains that you mentioned, father.
This kind of...'Beast Whisperer'. However, being able to practice Beast Whisperer and become an 'Beast Whisperer' is a talent that I'm afraid has not appeared on the mainland for hundreds of years! This Du Wei..."
"That's what I'm worried about!" Lu Gao gritted his teeth: "This Du Wei's talent is very good. He has gained such a great reputation in the imperial capital at a young age. His magical power... will definitely not be low! If he gets it
What the beauty said. I wonder if he has learned the martial arts of the Snow Mountains... If he has learned the martial arts of the Snow Mountains, and also learned the witchcraft of the Snow Mountains... Then we will be in big trouble!"
"It's better..." A hint of fierceness flashed in Sebastian's eyes: "Leave his life in Watt City, and the sword will naturally..."
"Can't kill!" Suddenly a trace of fear flashed in Lu Gao's eyes: "You are not from the Snowy Mountains, so you don't understand the secrets! There is a strange curse on the Snowy Mountains. Anyone who has learned the witchcraft of the Snowy Mountains cannot be killed.
If you die, you will also have companions who know snow mountain witchcraft! Otherwise... you will be cursed and miserable for the rest of your life!"
Sebastian was obviously disapproving: "Father, do you believe such a mythical statement?"
"Shut up!" Lu Gao said coldly: "Of course you don't believe it! But look at that guy Bai Hechou! Although I am conceited, I have to admit that he is indeed extremely talented and has not been seen in the Snow Mountains for hundreds of years.
He is a local figure! Whether it is witchcraft or the witchcraft of the Snowy Mountains, his level of practice is far above us. Even our teacher Gu Lanxiu was easily defeated by him! But just because he did not believe in this curse back then, for
He took away the position of the Witch King and started killing people on the snowy mountain... The result, look! Such a strong person has been trapped on the snowy mountain all his life. He is not allowed to go down the snowy mountain! Otherwise, with Bai Hechou's ability, if he can go down the mountain
In the world, who is his opponent on the mainland, be it magisters or paladins? It was because he went on a killing spree and killed his companions practicing witchcraft on the snow-capped mountains that he ended up today!
Keep this in mind... That Du Wei, if he hasn't learned snow mountain witchcraft, it's nothing if he seizes a sword and kills people! Although I originally knew that I couldn't kill him now, but for the beauty under the moon... it's not worth taking the risk.
It’s worth it! But...if he really learns snow mountain witchcraft, then this person must not be killed!"
Sebastian gritted his teeth: "In this case... what Du Wei just used was clearly the bestiality technique..."
"Then... we can only think of another way." Lu Gao thought carefully for a while: "If we have to... we should bow our heads to him, which is acceptable."
"Even if we can't kill him...he is on our territory now. Father, you have hundreds of thousands of troops under your command. Are you still afraid that he can escape? Even if he is a magister or a paladin, we can't do it alone.
With the power to resist the entire Northwest Army, as long as he is not killed by your own hands, father, it will not be considered a violation of the cursed oath."
"No, it means no!" Lu Gao suddenly became anxious: "Sebasta! You don't understand! There are some things that I can't tell you now! In short... you listen to me! Du Wei, this guy, is here
You must not do anything until you are sure whether he can do witchcraft or not! Even if he loses a hair, I will only ask you! Starting today, you will be responsible for 'protecting' his safety! Under any circumstances,
