return to edgar

Gulu Gulu, the blood in the blood pool is still bubbling and bubbling.The human beings in the cage stared wide-eyed, looking at the night elves and the white deer who were facing each other after the death of the necromancer. Many of them were residents of Hegu Town, and they recognized that the white deer without a trace of variegation was exactly that. The Son of Nature incarnation of the Pillar.

"What a pleasant cooperation, Isol's emissary." Just like when we first met, Artis put his right hand over his heart. This time, his left hand was no longer a hand crossbow, but a necromancer's. head.While bowing, his figure disappeared in the shadow of the hall, and soon disappeared.

Link expanded his perception, couldn't find the breath of the night elf, and indeed left.He walked up to the Lich, not knowing whether it was because of the evil spells he practiced or because of the poison on the blade of the night elf, the body that had not died for a long time quickly shrank into a mummy, except for a cloth bag emitting a little magical energy, the body of the Lich was still alive. Nothing of value.

Link picked up his pocket and approached the wooden cage without locking it. It was the Lich's magic that trapped these people. They were stunned by the scene just now, forgetting that once the caster died, the spell would be automatically dispelled.

Pushing open the wooden door with antlers, Link shouted to the people who were still staring at him, "How long do you want to stay inside?"

One word awakened the dreamer, and everyone scrambled to get out of the cage, but no one came out of the hall.Knowing that they were worried that there were still undead outside, Link led the way into the narrow corridor.

Although the Lich is dead, the skeletons and corpses awakened from their long sleep by the evil death magic are still walking aimlessly in the corridor.After removing these low-level undead blocking the road, Link didn't dare to abuse his skills anymore, he only had two spell slots left.

Leaving the ancient tomb, many people shed tears of joy under the long-lost sunshine.With the idea of ​​helping people to the end, Link escorted them to Hegu Town.The guards who were checking at the city gate saw a white deer glowing slightly from afar, and Captain Scarface hurriedly ordered someone to invite the mayor.

The news of the Son of Nature's appearance quickly spread throughout River Valley Town as if it had grown wings. The townspeople and adventurers gathered in the square west of the town, looked around, and after seeing Gonzales, Link deliberately Go to Yuan Ye's side, transform into a peregrine falcon and fly away before the mayor arrives.

"It's so cool~" Yuan Ye whistled while looking at the blue-purple bird that had already flown away, and a low voice came from behind.

"Yuan Ye."

Suddenly being called out by his real name, Yuan Ye turned his head instinctively, only to see a burly middle-aged man with colorful luster reflected in his pitch-black scales.

This uncle is really rich...

While lamenting Gonzalez's magical equipment, Yuan Ye was also vigilant.

How did he know my name?

"I'm Link's friend, come with me."

Yuan Ye hesitated for a few seconds before following Gonzalez.He knew that Link was his girlfriend's half-brother, but he only knew that their relationship was very stiff.In any case, Yuan Ye, who had been trapped in the game for several months, felt relieved to meet acquaintances.

Seeing clearly the face of the sleeping young man in the guest room, Yuan Ye realized that it was not Link.The cautious Gonzalez did not reveal his identity without Link's consent, and only told Yuan Ye that it was Link's help that he was rescued.

"What about others?"

"If you can't get away from something, you should return to reality first. If you sleep for a long time, your health will not be good, and don't worry your family." Gonzales pointed to the bed where Link slept before, "I will talk to you about the guard. Link will be in charge."

After staying in the illusion for a long time, Yuan Ye didn't think much about it. He lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.Gonzalez sat down on his bed, closed his eyes and waited for Link to return.

Link, who had transformed into the incarnation of Gasos, was on his way back to the Guardian Land. Although he didn't directly find the direct connection between the disappearance of the druid stationed in River Valley Town and the undead, he still felt the need to report the matter of the Necromancer to Hull.

Guarding the top of the ancient tree, Birdman was discussing something with a group of druids. After listening to the report, he gave Link a new order—stop searching for the missing druids.

"Why?" Link was puzzled.Although Hull hated human beings extremely, he would never turn a blind eye to the members of the Natural Alliance. Especially now that he was the acting guardian of the Pillar of the Earth, he had the responsibility of managing and protecting the druids.

"On the day you left, I found the two druids who went to River Valley Town to investigate at the northern border." Hull's expression was always solemn, and his frowning showed that he was in a terrible mood now.

I found it but didn't mention the result... Is it dead?

Link observed the situation and did not ask about the life and death of the two druids.

"The night elves who are members of the darkness have also been murdered by the undead, heh~ this is a good thing for the Natural Alliance." Hull changed the subject, talking about the night elves who took the initiative to enter the surface, "You should know that before the undead appear, The old enemy of the Son of Nature is the abyssal demon that spreads evil and destructive order. The first two battles with the undead have the shadow of demons behind them. Under the leadership of Frost, the undead empire has grown rapidly, and the expansion of the territory has made the original relationship between liches and demons The existing contradictions have intensified, and the third battle against the undead and the demons has not participated in it, which is why the Pillars of the Earth sent all the elite to the northern front."

"Aren't you afraid that the devil is pretending to break with the undead and secretly plotting to destroy the Pillar of the Earth?" Link felt that the natural alliance's thinking was too simple, and it was not a conspiracy for the evil camp to pretend to turn their faces and secretly conspire.Even if they really break up, they will form an alliance again because of their interests.This point, the rigid sequence camp can't do it.

"Of course the alliance doubts, but ten years have passed, and the demon has not moved. Even the abyss lord only appeared after you..." Hull's voice stopped abruptly, and he seemed to suddenly think of something, and his eyes were fixed on him. Link.

"It turned out to be like this... No wonder Shuanghan came here in person... Hahaha, I finally found a way to deal with him!"

"What does it mean to finally find a way to deal with him?" The nervous laughter made Link subconsciously take a few steps back. The bird man's eyes were too terrifying, not wishing to eat him alive, but extremely happy ecstasy.

"You don't have to think about anything right now, you just need to improve your strength as soon as possible." Hull skipped Link's question while avoiding the important ones.

Cut~ Don't tell me yes, I'll ask Iris.By the way... why didn't you see him?

"Where's Iris?"

"gone."

"gone?"

"He has gone to the Tranquility Sea in the far west to join his clansmen and go to Sunset Island."

Hull's answer stunned Link on the spot.

Iris did mention more than once that he wanted to leave the Central Continent. They were in the fantasy world of the game, and it was a farewell.

As the character who has been with him the longest in the unreal game world and treats him best, Link doesn't regard Iris as just an ordinary npc.For him, Iris is alive and real, not just a piece of data, a phantom in a strange dream.

After being silent for a long time, he asked in a dry voice: "You mean to improve your own strength as soon as possible, do you mean that you want me to go to the northern front..."

"What nonsense are you thinking about! Letting you go to the front line is tantamount to suicide. Frost and Han must have laid out all kinds of complete sets waiting for you to fall into the trap." Hell reprimanded Link viciously, and Hull turned his eyes around the druid, Finally, one of them was named.

"Jafar."

What came out was a black wolf, whose physique was not as strong as his companions, but a pair of wit and wisdom, which was why Hull chose him, as the longest-lived druid and the wise man who knew this area best, the most Suitable for guiding newcomers from other worlds.

"From today onwards, you are his guard, and you must protect the future guardian of the Pillar of the Earth at all costs." Hull's voice carried an order that could not be refused, and the druids were in an uproar. Jafar was not only the guardian of the Pillar of the Earth It is an unprecedented precedent for the oldest member of the left behind, who is also the leader of the Warg, to actually designate him as a guard for those who have not passed the trial.

The black-headed wolf didn't agree immediately, "You want me to be his follower?"

"I need your wisdom to guide and assist him in his growth. After Iris leaves, the only person here who is capable of this task is you."

"Is this human candidate so important?" Hei Lang shifted his gaze to Link.

"He is not only the future guardian of the pillar of the earth, but also related to the victory or defeat of the war."

Hearing what Hull said, Heilang got up and walked slowly towards Link. A brown light appeared from his forehead and sank into the back of his hand. Along with a slight tingling pain, a brown wolf's head figure appeared on the originally smooth skin.

Is this a contract?

Link couldn't help but think of the extra ability he got by combining three Isol auxiliary skills - natural allies, which means that they can summon natural creatures to sign contracts.

Heilang's sudden move caused an uproar among the druids, Hull couldn't stop it, "Jafar, you don't have to..."

"Since he is an important guardian, it is inevitable to become his follower." The black wolf's eyes met Link's. For a moment, Link thought of Iris, but the two were completely different.The elf has a gentle personality, but this wolf has sharp eyes and is as stubborn as Hull.

"My name is Jafar, and the wolf language means a wise man." While speaking, the black wolf's body changed, from a beast to a human, with black beard and hair, but his face was that of an old man.

"Uh... hello, my name is Link." Scratching his head awkwardly, Link, who was used to being alone, rarely encountered such a serious self-introduction scene, and felt very uncomfortable.

"Won't Lord Hull send a new garrison druid to go to River Valley Town with us?" Jafar, who turned into a human, looked at Birdman, "This time the assault was considered a failure, and Frost will not act rashly again in the short term. Do it."

Hull sighed, "I'm not worried about Suling Temple, but..."

"The Witch King's intentions are obvious. He wants to get rid of the big trouble in the future and force us to withdraw our troops from the north. Since King Ingway has gone to the Sea of ​​Tranquility to join his tribe, it is only a matter of time before the Shining Corps on the northern front will withdraw. Question. What are your plans?"

Hull looked at Link with a 'shua', "It depends on his growth."

"I understand." Jafar nodded slightly, and asked Link: "Are you planning to return to Hegu Town today? Or stay here for a few days?"

Link thought about it carefully, and decided to return that day.

In addition to low-level undead, there are only low-level monsters in the Guardian Land. As the level rises, they can no longer meet the increasing demand for experience points.Even the necromancer that he killed this morning...huh?

He suddenly realized that it was Artis the night elf who killed the necromancer. Surely the system wouldn't count the experience on him?This is a big loss.Never team up with npc in the future!

After dismissing the other druids including Jafar, Hull left Link alone, and told Frost that he had already been eyeing him, and that he must not reveal his identity as the Son of Nature in front of others until a critical moment.And let Link give priority to training archery and other combat skills that do not require divine grace.

Thousands of words have turned into a why?

"You don't believe in fate? Just like you don't believe in gods."

Suddenly asked by Hull, Link didn't know how to answer.

Hale learns from Iris about Link's temperament and preferences, including that he is an atheist.

For the sake of the life weavers from other worlds, Hull doesn't care about his atheism with Link, anyway, the natural gods don't need the belief of believers to maintain their godhood.Anyway, Link was chosen by Isol because of his respect, and Hull didn't doubt his nature.It's just that the current situation is grim, the Alliance of Nature is fighting in the north, and human beings are always lagging behind. Once the Principality of Kirk is broken by the undead, the remaining three elemental pillars will be directly exposed to the undead.The growth period of elemental creatures and magical creatures is extremely slow, and they can't afford the war of attrition for many years.Right now, we can only look forward to the new guardian that Isol has found from another world, to see if he can take on the title of "Weaving of Destiny".

If Frost Cold's immortality can really be broken, it will be equivalent to winning this protracted war.No matter how bad it is...he can drag it on for a while, the battle report from the front line shows that the undead empire's destructive offensive has stopped, and the time just so happens to be the night when Frost and Cold raided the Pillar of the Earth.This is no coincidence!

"Do you know how to kill a lich?"

"Destroy his phylactery?" Since some settings are similar to dnd, this must be right, Link thought.

"Even liches who claim to give up their lives cannot surpass the gods and become truly immortal. They just change the sustenance of their souls from bodies to other objects. As long as the phylactery where the soul resides is destroyed, it is tantamount to the end of the witch. It is an imaginary art of immortality that violates the law. However, Frost Cold is different from other liches, and we cannot find its phylactery." From Hull's bitter tone, it is not difficult to hear how much he hates Frost Cold. Even Iris, who has always been gentle and gentle, gritted his teeth when he mentioned frost.

Link thinks that Frost Han must have killed too many lives as the apostle of the God of Death, "Isn't there such a spell as prophecy?"

"The Fateweaver doesn't belong to Edgar, and the prophet can't even see the thread of its destiny, let alone find the phylactery." Hull's answer revealed the true role of the Fateweaver, especially against other The gods of the gods have obvious advantages.

In other words, are the divine enlightenment techniques of other gods ineffective for me?This is a hidden ability stronger than one more spell slot.

Link finally regained his advantage as a 'traveler'.

But... can the life weavers see each other?The so-called thread of fate?

"Under the law that gods are not allowed to intervene in person, the only one who can defeat the Weaver of Fate is the Weaver of Fate." Hull handed a strip bound with cloth to Link. Your parting gift."

Untie the cloth strip, and it is the elf bow called Wind Whisper, the weapon of Iris.

Caressing the gorgeous feathery arched back that he had envied, Link had mixed feelings.

Even the title has changed, he really left...

Hull stretched out his fingers and stroked the elf longbow, and the gorgeous style immediately turned into a rough and unremarkable ordinary longbow.

"Wind language is his famous weapon, and not only demons and undeads recognize it. Using your current ability to travel with him will only bring disaster. When your ability is comparable to mine, when will this seal be released."
