Part 2: The Human World Chapter 21: I Will Do It For You
The only difference between Asa and the dead body now is that he has one more breath. He has been unconscious in bed for several days. Xiaoyi has been staying in front of the bed, and she has been taking care of him these past few days.
Some of the thieves also asked where the couple among them had gone, and the half-orc boss said that the city lord here asked them to stay to discuss some important matters. They used their imagination to guess, thinking that it must be
Still arguing with the city lord alone, what's the point? After sighing that he was indeed a knowledgeable person, they all left with the goods.
Asa had moved from the roofless house to another room. This matter was not publicized. After all, the city lord also had to uphold the dignity of the law. Theft for any reason should be sent to the huge gallows in the square.
The Lord of Cedros only said that this man was a friend of his who was injured during his magic experiment.
Healing spells can finally work on the body. There is no system of magic that Cedros cannot use. Although he cannot delve into many big spells because he has studied too much, as long as he can use them, there is no one.
Although he cannot master it, his healing spells are by no means inferior to those of any high-level priest.
But no matter how high-level the treatment is, all it can treat is injuries.
The bones and muscles in his hands and chest were completely shattered. Even the most skilled craftsmen could not separate the fragments smaller than grains of rice from the condensed muscles and blood vessels and put them back together. The broken ribs
Many of them had already injured their internal organs, and their skulls were completely cracked, just shy of exploding.
Even Cedros found it hard to believe that a person's body could survive such an injury.
This is indeed a misunderstanding with serious consequences, and it is also a very coincidental misunderstanding.
If Xiao Yi had also come to carry the stolen goods with the thieves at that time, he would definitely have seen the Lord of Cedros. If Asa was not so stubborn in wanting to solve this matter in his own way, if he could solve this matter
Discuss with Xiaoyi, if his fighting spirit is not so strong, he can explain a little or simply surrender when he is caught... As long as one of these happens, things will not be like this.
The Lord of Cedros came to see Asa again today, still shaking his head with a gloomy face. Through the conversation with Xiao Yi, he knew that this was indeed a misunderstanding. Although he still could not explain why this young man was wearing the robe of the Ghost King.
, why did you come to steal that book? But the person who is willing to save a person from a leaf of the world tree that all magicians dream of is definitely not a member of the Guild of the Dead. And the appointment document of the bishop is also
Not fake.
Cedros could also see what kind of relationship the two had, which also made him very concerned. He asked Xiaoyi tentatively: "What if he never wakes up? It seems that your engagement is not far away?"
"I will stay here until he wakes up. I won't go anywhere." Xiao Yi answered calmly.
Cedros was silent. Xiaoyi's tone was not sonorous, determined and full of passion. If so, it would be okay. Passion is always short-lived, and the impulse will naturally calm down after a period of time. But such determination in plainness
But it shows that she has accepted the reality.
If it were anyone else, the city lord would still appreciate this kind of love between a man and a woman, but she is the daughter of the Duke, and she has many other things on her shoulders.
Cedros said in a meaningful tone: "Do you know that this is actually very unfair to you? If you really can't wake up for the rest of your life, do you plan to spend your good life on him?
You are still young and have a bright future ahead of you."
Xiao Yi shook his head. "I was in a coma like this before, and he saved me. Now that I can't save him, at least I have to stay with him."
"But he doesn't know anything about what you are doing now. You are just deceiving yourself."
Xiaoyi just said lightly: "This is my own decision."
Cedros said slowly: "Then have you considered your father? You should know how much hope your father has in you. Are you just abandoning other things for your own wishful feelings and completely ignoring it?"
Xiaoyi didn't speak, but slowly fed a spoonful of honey water into Asa's mouth. There was no expression on her face.
Cedros looked at her and sighed, turned around and walked out.
He suddenly felt that he was a very annoying person.
But hate it, you must say it this way, because things must be done this way. If she really wants to stay, then the biggest headache is probably not the Duke, but herself.
Suddenly an official ran over from the direction of the city hall and said to him: "Sir City Lord, the thieves who set out a few days ago have returned, and only a few are left. They said that there is a huge fire-breathing monster in the wasteland heading towards him.
Come here."
"Monster?" Cedros' eyebrows knitted together.
At the door of the city hall, Cedros took off an arm from his ponytail.
This is evidence of the death struggle of a thief who was too hasty to mount his horse. The thieves were awakened by strange noises on the ground at night. They saw a huge creature coming towards them through the moonlight. In panic, they mounted their horses and began to escape.
The thieves who hesitated and moved a little slower were all caught in the flames spouted by the monster, and only a few managed to escape.
Cedros observed the arm carefully. The arm was intact and the cross-section was neat, as if it had been chopped off with a strong blow like a knife or axe. However, the cross-section of the upper bone was black, and when pinched with his hand, it immediately became dry.
It fell to pieces like see-through bread. No natural flame can cause such damage to the human body. It can burn the whole person to ashes but leave the arm that was just exposed to the flame intact.
.
Such corrosive flames should be the effect of dark magic. And what thing can actually spit out magical flames? Although he probably knew that the Necromancer Guild was up to something, he couldn't tell what method was used.
Cedros has been traveling and exploring the continent since he was a teenager, and has seen the strangest things. He has even seen legendary dragons in the underground world, and has also been to the Diya Valley to interact with necromancers. Moreover,
He also likes to read books. He has been to almost every famous library on the mainland. He can never forget all kinds of books, so he can be regarded as the most knowledgeable person on the continent.
. If there is something that even he doesn't know about, it can only mean that it has never appeared.
"When did you meet that monster?" Cedros asked the remaining thieves.
"Three nights ago." The old thief Fordoleng replied. He was the fastest among them. He almost ran to the horses as soon as he heard the sound, but some people even picked up their weapons and went out to look around. Everyone seemed to be confused.
The longer you live, the more you want to continue living.
From the words of the thieves, it can be judged that the speed of the monster does not seem to be very fast, but it should not be far from here.
Cedros and Gru rode their horses together to the swamp northeast of Orf City. This is the end of the Lizard Swamp that extends into the wasteland. It happens to be used as an independent living area for the lizard people. The two of them rode a double dog here.
The flying dragon set off.
Not only wyverns, but also wild cattle and scavenging lizards are quietly domesticated here. Lizardmen generally do not participate in other affairs in Orfor City. Their mission is to experiment with domesticating these animals in this swamp.
There has never been any record of such things being domesticated on the continent, and no one has ever even dared to think of such a thing. These are extremely dangerous animals that live in extremely dangerous areas.
The wild bull is a kind of bison unique to the Lizard Swamp. At first glance, it looks like a cow, but it is two meters tall, four to five meters long, and weighs several thousand kilograms. Its appearance is not covered with fur, but with a thick layer of
With its large scales, even a battle ax cannot effectively damage it. Although it is a herbivore, its temper is more ferocious and violent than any carnivore. Combined with its huge strength and size, it is definitely the most dangerous in the continent.
One of the wild beasts. And because they often eat poisonous weeds in the swamp, these animals have accumulated gases fermented by countless poisonous weeds in their stomachs, which can be spit out from their mouths at any time. This gas is harmful to human skin and a kind of alchemist created
Something called sulfuric acid is almost the same.
Only wyverns can include bulls in their diet. These huge flying animals have unimaginable strength and speed, and can catch a bull high in the air and then drop it. Repeat these steps until it is
The bull was beaten to death before eating it.
Although it is an extremely dangerous animal, it is naturally extremely useful. Just imagine the situation of bulls charging into the battle formation. No general is willing to send his soldiers to face such a monster. And the bipedal flying dragon no matter how it is used
It is of great use in carrying out manned surprise attacks or transporting materials, and it is even easier to capture and kill a general among thousands of troops.
As long as they have these huge and dangerous combat capabilities, no army will dare to act rashly here.
Only the Lord of Cedros has the courage and imagination to tame these things. He clearly knows all the habits of these strange creatures from books, and then summarizes the methods of taming these beasts from the history of human beings taming other animals. Only he can
It allows the lizardmen to obtain the eggs and babies of these animals from the swamp, and then tame them in the strange environment of the swamp. Only a few have been successfully tamed over the years, but even these few are very useful.
With the astonishing power of the flying dragon, it was completely easy to carry Cedros and Gru plus a lizard man driver, and its flying speed was beyond the reach of horses. So it only took half a day.
Cedros saw the monster the thieves were talking about from the air.
"What is that? A big bat? There seems to be someone on it?" Sandro frowned and said. The three of them were in the woods in the distance, and Cedros could not see them.
"That's a domesticated bipedal flying dragon. I never thought that someone could use this as a flying tool. It's such an interesting little trick." Widnina also looked a little surprised, but it didn't affect her proud mood. "It looks like that one.
The leader of the orc city-state received the news and came to see our great masterpiece with his own eyes. I don’t know what he thought after seeing this masterpiece that will turn his city-state into ashes."
With just one glance, Cedros was sure that this was a monster that could turn the entire city of Ofu into ashes. He could feel that the magic fluctuations surrounding it were unimaginable.
"Fly down and take a closer look." Cedros said to the lizardman driver. The lizardman pulled the reins, and the bipedal flying dragon swooped down towards the corpse dragon with a cry.
Passing close to the corpse dragon, Cedros saw clearly the countless corpses that made up the monster's body, and felt the magical energy contained in these corpses. Such monsters were indeed created by the Necromancer Guild, but
Such a huge and perfect magical creature was completely beyond his imagination. It was not only powerful, but also a perfect blend of several completely different types of magical power. His profound knowledge and profound understanding of magic enabled him to completely distinguish it.
He had to understand these magics, so he was even more shocked.
Those corpses are not ordinary corpses, nor are they zombies, but living corpses. Only magicians with the highest attainments in body magic and dark magic can create corpse transformations. That is to transform all the remaining vitality in the human body into a very short period of time.
Completely burned within a short period of time, an ordinary person's corpse can possess astonishing combat power comparable to that of a high-level warrior in a short period of time. But there are hundreds or even thousands of such corpses here, which originally was enough to have the combat power of an army.
, but now it is just used as the body of this monster.
He could also see the shape of this monster. It was the shape that the Dark Dragon, a great magic in the dark system, should be transformed into. It was originally just an image of condensed magic power, which would automatically dissipate after the spell was released, but
Now it is integrated with those hundreds of living corpses. It is not just about appearance, there is indeed surging dark magic power flowing among these countless corpses.
What shocked him the most was the monster itself. In a sense, it was actually a living creature. The rotting parts were all the hands and feet of the corpse that protruded from the corpse dragon's appearance, but they were closely together to form a monster.
Parts of the corpse dragon still maintain its original appearance, and even the skin of the corpses still retains the unique luster of living bodies. Living corpses can only remain alive for a short period of time, but it is obvious that they are not just created monsters.
This is to use a certain method to take advantage of the extremely burning life force in the living corpse to fuse the highly activated corpse as a medium, and combine it with the magic of the Dark Dragon into a whole, temporarily forming a cycle of magic power, and then endow this whole
The corpse maintains its power with life. The amazing magic power and vitality in this monster merge with each other to form an endless cycle, allowing it to spit out destructive flames almost as unlimitedly as a creature's breath.
..
Every magic was at its peak, and the balance between each magic was perfectly grasped, and the balance brought the strengths of each magic into full play. He marveled, this was simply an unparalleled piece of magical art.
But he suddenly woke up again and shouted to the lizard man: "It's too close, fly quickly."
The corpse dragon's head has turned around. After being bombarded by hundreds of magicians in the past few days, it has become very sensitive to human breath. It stretches its neck to inhale, even if it is completely incapable of magic.
The lizard driver could also feel the crazy concentration of magic power causing strange fluctuations in the air.
Cedros chanted a spell and waved his hands forward, and a white ball of light flew towards the corpse dragon's head. This was the most offensive spell in air magic, thunderous bomb.
After a loud noise, the corpse dragon's head and neck swung slightly, and the strong explosion left a small crater on its head. But such damage obviously had no effect on it. It began to open its mouth, and green flames were about to spit out.
And out.
Gru bent down, jumped up, and punched with a roar that transcended the clouds and nights. The force when he kicked out his feet made the huge body of the flying dragon sink down. The white light wrapped around his body made him look like
It was a silent bolt of lightning that rushed straight to the corpse dragon's head with the might of a world-shattering force.
The front end of this lightning hit the corpse dragon's head. The moment the fist came into contact with the corpse, a dazzling light and a loud noise broke out. This was just a blow, but it was completely better than the brilliant roar of hundreds of magic. The corpse dragon
Its head and neck were tilted sideways under the force of the blow, and even its huge body was tilted sideways by the impact. If it hadn't been hit on the head, and if there hadn't been a neck as a buffer, this punch would have been completely
You can knock down this mountain-like monster.
The sky here seemed to have suddenly rained down corpse fragments. Almost all of the corpse dragon's head was broken into pieces, leaving only half of its mouth hanging on its neck.
In the distance, the three magicians who saw all this with their own eyes were completely shocked by the earth-shattering power of this strike.
They were all top magicians, and they all could see that it was not magic.
That does not require skills and wisdom, does not require transformation, resonance, synchronization, etc., a profound art of spellcasting, it is simply the most direct and heartfelt naked original display of vitality.
No matter who sees this kind of power, this kind of scene, this kind of spirit, they will only think of one word: power.
The three of them were once obsessed with the desire to make themselves more powerful, so they could become top magicians. But now they were completely shocked when they saw this real power. It was like expressing the beauty of
However, writers and painters who have refined their skills and art were shocked when they saw the beautiful scenery of nature.
But this spectacular scene only paused for a moment, and green flames still rushed out from the dragon's mouth that was tilted to the side. It was not a real creature, and the damage to a small part of its body did not hinder the flow of magic power.
The corpse dragon's head and neck immediately swung back, and crazy green fire was thrown towards Gru, who was still in mid-air.
Gru's posture was still the same as that of the punch. This punch was already his full strength. His body had not recovered from the explosive force, and his body was completely out of thin air, with no effort at all.
Place. Facing the surging green waves, his solitary body was as small as a leaf in mid-air, as if he would be submerged immediately in this ocean of death without leaving a single ripple.
But his body suddenly moved backwards out of thin air, as if a giant hand was pulling him. He just avoided the wave of green fire. This was the effect of Cedros's wind spell.
The wings of the wyvern flapped and rose sharply upwards, but the wind also brought a few green fires that burned towards the wings of the wyvern. Even though it was just a few small green fires, it was enough to cause the wyvern pain.
Struggling randomly is equally fatal.
Cedros continued to control the wind spell with one hand to pull Gru here, and waved out several white cold lights with the other hand to intercept the green fire. The green fire and the cold light collided,
After making a soft sound, they disappeared into thin air.
Gru stood on the back of the wyvern again. The wyvern rose into the air and flew beyond the range of the corpse dragon's flames.
The corpse dragon seemed to be angered by this attack, and it moved quickly and violently. It even shook its body and jumped towards the sky, but the jump was not high, and it was immediately pulled back to the ground by its own weight, making a loud landing sound.
.
From high in the sky, you can see that the body of the corpse dragon has begun to change. The corpses that formed the body began to squirm, and then gradually the originally broken heads were replenished by corpses squirming from other places.
"Good guy." Gru's eyes were shining. The fact that the full-force blow just now did not knock down this monster made him excited. "Fly down and let me try again."
Cedros quickly stopped him and said: "It's too dangerous. The magic flame is irresistible. We must find another way."
The corpse dragon groaned at the sky, feeling that it was powerless. So it resumed its slow pace and continued walking toward the northwest.
Cedros frowned and said slowly: "There should be a core. To maintain such a large magic power cycle, there must be a strong core. Judging from the fluctuations of magic, it should be a little bit below the right side of the chest.
It is about three or four meters inside the body. But the key is how to destroy it...and what exactly is it? What can allow such a huge magic power to be condensed together in the form of life and circulate endlessly.
....." Cedros frowned and muttered to himself, suddenly enlightened. "I understand." He said to the lizardman driver: "Okay, go back now."
The bipedal flying dragon circled in the air and turned back in the direction it came from. After a while, it turned into a small dot and disappeared on the horizon.
Sandro was the first to let out a long sigh of relief. He was still in the shock of the blow and asked: "Who is that person? Is it really a person?"
Ronis was also shocked by this blow, but he first turned to look at his student who was also shocked and said in a mocking tone: "If everything is really as you expected, what are you surprised about?"
Woolen cloth."
"No matter what, I believe that my work is invincible. I believe that it can definitely eliminate all garbage." Vidnina's hoarse voice said it powerfully, as if to explain.
Even seeing such a shocking blow did not shake his confidence at all.
Although confidence is power, it is purely personal and inner strength. If it needs to be demonstrated loudly, it will be suspected of emboldening oneself.
Of course Ronis could hear this suspicion. He nodded and smiled and said: "I was right not to go back. It seems that things are getting more and more interesting." The man who can use two systems of magic at the same time has such good control.
Reminds him of an old friend from before
"It's interesting, it's interesting." Sandro shook his head in agreement.
Orpheus City, nightfall.
Xiaoyi had just finished feeding Asa the honey water. Her hands were caressing Asa's face, her soft palms rising and falling along the clear contours. She was very upset now, and what Cedros said to her today made her feel again.
The already firm determination was shaken out of chaos.
Is it really just self-deception? Is she just escaping reality here and escaping her responsibility to her father? But she wants to leave him here and go back alone? This is absolutely impossible. She felt that her emotions were torn apart
pain.
The Lord of Cedros walked into the house, looked at her actions and sighed, and then said slowly: "If I can cure this young man, but you must promise me to complete something that you should have done in the first place.
, do you agree?"
"I promise." Xiao Yi stood up, with an expression on his face as if he had heard God's oracle of salvation.
Cedros reached out and put his hand on Xiaoyi's head, patted it, nodded and said, "I know you have always been a good boy, and you have always been obedient."
