The knight in the abyss

Chapter 753

"You sound like a devil's commander now." Aramir looked at the surrounding sea of ​​flames a little speechlessly, "To be honest, I thought there was something wrong with your obsession with fireball..."

Jokes aside, the effect of the fire set by the scholar is indeed very good: everyone was in a clearing in the forest, so they don't have to worry about the fire spreading to them, and the fire not only dispelled the shadows, but also made those undead mastiffs nowhere to go The hiding of form also made these creatures accustomed to darkness dare not turn around and rush into the sea of ​​flames to escape, and they all fell into panic.

Seeing that the enemies were all in shape, Lancelow let out a roar, and rushed into the enemy group like an angry lion. Three-handed and half-swords with one solid and two empty circled back and forth around him, while the enemy It was smashed by him like clay pots.With the astonishing momentum of the human knight, the other partners also broke out at the same time, and everyone worked together to kill all the remaining twenty or so shadow mastiffs in less than a minute.

Finally, Kalarin summoned a shimmering ghostly hand, gathered all the corpses together, and then threw a ball of flame again, igniting all the twitching flesh from time to time.

"By the way, have you noticed?" Brutal looked away from the fire, "It seems that apart from Lancelot, little Isa had the highest score..."

"Eh? Is there?" The little girl who was staring at the flame was startled, "Me?"

"I've noticed that too." Aramir nodded affirmatively, "To bring down an enemy, Brutal and I have to smash the opponent to pieces, but you only need to create a fatal wound in the general sense, the enemy Just lay on the ground and didn’t move. Didn’t there be several nearly complete corpses just now? They were all your masterpieces…”

"Is that so..." Little Isa scratched her head, and suddenly a look of enlightenment appeared on her face, "I know! It must be because of the sentence given to me by the king of the dead?" All creatures killed by her can no longer die. Transform into undead by any means', that's what the king of the dead said at the time, right? Does it mean that as long as the creature is killed by me, the corpse will no longer be dominated by the energy of the undead? That's why the situation just now happened?"

"Wait, do you understand that sentence in this way?" Aramir looked a little bit unwell, "Isn't this too... outrageous?"

"Uh, I think it's okay..." Little Isa turned her head to look at Lancelot in confusion, "Isn't the effect just to prevent me from creating new vampires? And brother Alamel can also use divine power to destroy undead creatures ah."

"It's not the same." The elf priest shook his head again and again, "First, I can only use that ability twice a day, and then I have to rest to recover; second, although I can affect multiple targets, only skeletons, zombies, and ghouls In this way, relatively low-level undead creatures will definitely work. If you use it on high-level undead creatures, especially intelligent undead creatures, the success rate will drop sharply, or even fail to take effect at all. And you just... have you ever missed it? ?”

"...No." Little Isa thought for a while, and finally shook her head, "But I won't act rashly at an inappropriate opportunity..."

"Damn it, Karaline, look, this is the real voter." Alamir rolled his eyes, "I think, little Isa's ability should be somewhat limited, otherwise she would be a legendary witch." When the monster comes, you have to go around, if you accidentally get stabbed with a sword, you have to obediently go to the crystal spire to report to the king of the dead..."

"What you said seems to be true. If every time her fatal blow has the effect of destroying undead, it is definitely the nemesis of undead creatures." The scholar looked up and down the little vampire with surprised eyes, "Maybe you They really are the voters of Kelemvor!"

"What do you mean by voters?" Lancelot couldn't help asking, "I heard you and Aramir mention words like Silver Fire, Mystra's voters..."

"As it literally means, the chosen ones are those who are personally chosen by the gods, so that they can act on behalf of the will of the gods on the earth..." Aramiel explained to his companion, "I know this sounds similar to our pastors. It's a bit like that, but the voters don't need to have the profession of a priest, they can be warriors, wizards, rangers, etc. Voters are usually given certain divine powers, such as the famous silver fire, which is a gift from the goddess of magic to her voters ..."

"Is that the one that Mystra gave Karaline?"

"Yes." The scholar raised his chin triumphantly, but his expression became serious again, "Don't get me wrong, that little silver fire is mainly for me to have normal spellcasting ability, at most I can only be regarded as a favored person of the gods. The level of the voters is far behind, you must know that the strength of the voters is comparable to demigods, their relationship with the main god is like the moon and the sun, and the favored ones can only be regarded as stars in the sky at best..."

"Do you still remember that after Kelemvor finished reading the verdict, there were indeed some holy spots of light flying into little Isa's body." Lancelow narrowed his eyes and recalled, "But the words he used at that time were... Transformation?"

"That's right, considering Kelemvor's attitude towards undead creatures after he took office, it's understandable that he wants to play some word games." Aramir nodded, looking at little Isa curiously, "Speaking of which, the dead The king asked you to step forward, what happened after that?"

"Well... firstly, many pictures flashed in those mirrors at a very fast speed, all of which are more important moments in my life..." Little Isa's voice fell unconsciously, "then the king of the dead asked again I answered a few questions truthfully... You can’t lie in that situation. In the end, He told me the teachings He promoted, and then you all appeared again.”

"Doctrine?" The elf priest turned his head and exchanged glances with his companions, "What is it, do you remember?"

"Death is also a part of the life cycle. It is not the end, but another beginning; it is not a punishment, but an indispensable necessity in life. Help those who are dying and let them die with dignity; oppose Those who prolong life by unnatural means - such as becoming undead. To respect the dead, it is their merits that made the world more prosperous, and to forget them is to forget the meaning of the cause of the living..."

The little vampire uttered the entire teaching very smoothly, causing the partners to look at each other in blank dismay. In the end, it was Lancelot who said cautiously:

"So, do you think what he said makes sense?"

"It makes sense." The little girl nodded affirmatively, "But I want to explain to him that I didn't become a vampire voluntarily, and I didn't want to use it to prolong my life. I just found out that this body would be very helpful to everyone in battle." helpful……"

"You can explain it to him." Aramir patted the little girl's shoulder meaningfully, "Find a quiet moment, call the title of the king of the dead, and then say what you want to say. He may not answer, but He will certainly hear your prayers..."
