Chapter 418 Chapter 421 Good Hands
When the grazing monster broke through the courtyard gate, Dagon had already picked up the hunt First Axe jumped from the balcony on the third floor. The puppet mount and the earth-moving technique helped him descend slowly on the wall. The rune with the word "Yong" was simultaneously accumulating energy, ready to eject him at the moment of landing.

He wants to charge the rare beast like a warrior to save his sweetheart.

Siloai didn't want to give him this chance at all. After the Fireball incantation was shattered by the breath of the dead Spiritual Qi, Shiloh began to prepare for the next spell, and pink flames flew out of her hands, spiraling around her body and gathering overhead. When the herd monster rushed into the courtyard with the group of predator monsters, when they were about to pounce on the fleeing refugees like a pack of wolves, Hiloai shot.

She raised her hands, loudly shouted, and then slammed down to one knee, slapping her hands on the ground. Pink spell flames smashed into the ground, dyeing the green grass pink. I saw dozens of arm-thick and pink lines of fire rapidly spreading and charging under the turf, heading towards the monster cluster. The grazing monster spit out two black Spiritual Qi breaths, but it only hit the ground, causing the grass and trees to wither, and could not counteract the spell spreading underground.

"hmph, spell rookie." Shiloh looked at the herd and smiled slightly.

Hiding the spell under the lawn and using the wood element environment to cover and cast spells is the trick of the elf mage. The incantation energy of those pinks rushed to the feet of the monster, and then exploded upwards, turning into nearly a hundred pink tentacles. They all resemble octopus arms, except that the elongated near-cone has suction cups in all directions, rather than just one side. Each "suction cup" is an incantation member, and adsorption and entanglement are the only things they need to do.

The "Pink Tentacles of Shiloh" incantation forms a pink area, where the monsters struggle and the monsters are sluggish. "Shoot!" Shiroai gave the order: "Nail them, use Frostbolt!"

The guards of the Asneriel family are not untrained militiamen, they are in their own The field is a good hand. Seeing that monsters were trapped by the terrain created by spell, they switched to long-range means, using arrows attached to spell or directly casting spell rays to attack. Shirouai just said Frostbolt, because she found that herder monsters are more afraid of cold through the spell contact of pink tentacles, and the ice damage is easier to deal with.

In an instant, arrows rained down, shooting at monsters, especially herding monsters. Each shooter completed about two rounds, and some bow masters were able to complete almost four rounds before Dagon fell from the balcony to the ground.

Most of the meat shields are restricted by Shiroai's spell, and their own evasion ability is also limited, which is reflected in the damage of bows and arrows to monsters. The herding monster seemed to have dozens of drains opened, and red blood and green tissue fluid flowed out as if they were free of money. It whimpered, made an eager cry, stretched out its tentacles and began to absorb the surrounding predators. Regardless of whether it was seriously wounded or shot to death, it was rolled up and sent to the mouth.

Several Frostbolts were aimed at the herder's mouth at the same time, some hitting the upper jaw and some hitting the gums. But no matter how much damage they did, a cloud of frost exploded from the monster's mouth, blocking its attempts to eat in a flood of frost and snow. It tried to chew the ice cubes and flesh together, but the frost also hurt it, so everyone noticed that its teeth were constantly peeling off and falling to the ground with the minced meat.

Dagon was ejected by the "Yong" rune, but before he could come to Shiroai, Herder was seriously injured and fell down. A few predators barely broke free from the spell, but before they rushed out a few steps, they were intercepted by the elf guards and had no chance to rely on the people.

"Don't be in a hurry, the life force of monsters is generally tenacious. The shooter supplements the arrows, and the guards supplement the sword with a long weapon!" Even if Shiroai is not a weapon master, he will not lack basic battlefield experience. . "Don't let the citizens run around, the main danger has been lifted! You, dwarf, come here!"

Dagon looked at the herder monster that could only crawl and wriggle among the tentacles, rubbed his nose with his fingers, and raised his eyebrows. With the headhunting axe, he came to Shiroai angrily.

"You stand here to protect me." Shiroai said: "If the family's guards can't even solve this monster, then they don't have to do it. This is not in the wilderness, not hunting. Adventure. If you can use the collective strength, you don't need your personal life to fight."

"I know." Dagon put the first hunting axe on the ground and said, "Your guards work well together, and the martial skill is also good. It's excellent, it's not surprising to have such a victory. By the way, do you know what's going on with the green flames that fall from the sky?"

Hiroai shook his head and said, "It's the first time I've seen such a spell, I don't know the specific situation. But it should be confirmed that it is some kind of teleportation effect. The monster is hidden in the green Fireball. After landing, the Fireball disbands, and the monster comes out. Um... Da... No, dwarf, you accompany me out Take a look."

"Are you going to the crash site?" Dagon asked.

"Yes. I hope it won't be completely destroyed, so I can see more. If monsters can use teleportation to attack various cities, the whole situation will be completely different." Shiroai Frowning, she waved to her big brother.

Speaking of his plan, he declined the guards sent by the family, and Hiloai only took Dagon out of the courtyard. When passing through the gate, she cast incantation at will, straightening and straightening the twisted metal gate, and inserting it back into the base. And Dagon summon mounted the puppet, carrying Shiroai, and quickly drilled into the street.

Following the damage done by the monsters, they easily found where the green Fireball fell. A residential house was directly smashed to the ground, and the broken walls spread out in all directions like petals, with a large pit with a radius of four meters in the middle. There are still residual flames in and around the pit, not green, but normal burning red flames. Shi Luoai recited incantation, put out the flames that blocked the way, and went forward to check with Dagon.

There are still fragments of black and red in the pit, and the green flames have already been extinguished. These should be the shells that were wrapped by the flames and wrapped around the monsters. Dagon used the word rune to grab a few pieces and rubbed them between his fingers, they were still a little hot and easily turned to crumbs.

"The lava, just cooled." Dagon knew that his fire resistance was far superior to ordinary people, so he corrected his sense of temperature by his standards. "I can feel a lot of Fire Element and Earth Element escaping when I crush the lava, indicating that it is used as a carrier for spells, and mainly uses these two elemental energy."

"Yes, But I can see more." Shiloh never lacked competitive spirit, she spread her palm flat in front of her chin and blew with her mouth, dispersing a large cloud of white glittering dust. They are not afraid of the wind, spread evenly, and then begin to gather under the action of the remaining elements, gradually showing some incantations and lines.

"This is the remnant of the previous spell. With my spell ability, I can only restore about one-tenth of it." Shiroai frowned, and hurriedly deciphered before the flash dust had dissipated. "The monster has a spell system, which contains the part of the elves, as well as the part of Jiangu clansman, and even the Illusion Technique component of the dwarf has occasionally appeared. But the monster is not imitating the spell of the five clans, but develops it separately. At present, we know the monster The level of teleportation is far higher than that of the Alliance of Five Races."

"They can bypass the infinite maze and directly teleport out of the black tower of Dreads, which must be very powerful." Dagon stood beside him Alert, and said at the same time: "Do you see what's coming? Is this a teleportation, or something like a catapult or airdrop?"

"It should be teleportation and airborne." Shiloai said: " One-tenth of the array can only see some fragments, the teleportation of monsters has some array characteristics, I have found it, so it must be teleportation. Judging from the scale of the array, they cannot achieve accurate teleportation on this meteorite, in order to avoid The card is directly destroyed in the entity, so it can only be thrown into the open sky, and then landed slowly."

Dagon looked at the pit, looked up at the sky, browsed tightly knit. "Do you think this is an established tactic or an experiment?"

"I would rather it is an established tactic... If it is an experiment, it means there is still a lot of room for improvement. The most terrifying. Maybe it’s enough terrifying now, after all, monsters can attack any place directly, and there will be no safe cities.” Shiloai said: “The herd monster is very suitable for tactics in places with many civilians, but it It’s not the most suitable, don’t forget those monsters that can cause plagues, fires, and drive people into madness, as well as some spy monsters that can disguise themselves as surface creatures, and are more threatening than herdsmen.”

"The key is that monsters can attack us, but we can't attack monsters." Dagon shook his head and said: "It definitely won't work like this, has the poison mist around the Black Tower of Horizons been solved? Can we attack there? ?"

"The poison mist and poison swamp are receding after the crash of the empty Central Continent, and we reckon the spell that maintains the poisonous environment may fail, or be severely damaged - but want to wait until it's completely harmless. It takes time. The association has studied it before, and there is no good way."

"What about now? Is there a way to speed up and let them dissipate?"

Sighed, Shiroai shook his head. . "The association can barely maintain its operation now. All the sorcerers are struggling to meet the needs of each family's spell items, and they cannot organize research work at all."

"The Five Clan Alliance Conference and U·5 What about A? They have a Transmission Gate, so can’t they drive directly to the Black Tower of Dreads and let the army pass through? Even if the army can’t get through, it’s good to send some researchers and spies to understand the enemy’s deployment and plans.”

"U·5·A is not under the management of the Mage Association, only the Spirit King, the Election King and other kings can issue orders to it, maybe the Labyrinth Watch has certain management rights over it, I haven't figured it out yet. . The time I've been in is too short, and the level is too low." Shiroai dragged her cheeks and said, "If only there were incantation information about Transmission Formation there, maybe I can research something."

Dagon sighed. Now the Spirit King definitely doesn't have the time to attack monsters, all he can think about is how to consolidate his rule on the verge of collapse. And what about the election king? Worse, probably thinking about how to consolidate the reign of the Spirit King on the verge of collapse. These inaction guys should be overthrown, cleaned up, and revolutionized. Yes, the word "revolution" that Reid said is very good, and fundamentally removes the life gate they depend on.

If we can't attack the Black Tower of Dreads, are there other possibilities? Dagon turned his head quickly, and a bold idea appeared. "How about getting out of the Infinite Labyrinth? Go to the monster's territory?"

"I heard that the Prime Minister Nadir once put forward this proposal, but it was rejected because it seems that there is no flying city attack. Even better. And after the crash of the Flying Sky City, this plan is no longer feasible." Shiloai shook his head, persuaded: "Dagon, these ideas have been thought of, but no one has the ability or determination to implement them."

"Then I'll come." Dagon said to Shiloh: "You can't count on others, you can only count on yourself; you can't wait for tomorrow, you must start from today. Come on, we're done here, let's go to Academy. "

"What are you going to do at the Academy? Didn't you agree not to go?"

"The city is so chaotic, does your aunt come to arrest us? Besides, my disguise Isn't it good enough?" Dagon said: "I don't have to wait any longer. I will act now when I get to Chiling City. I want to find Professor Dongdong and ask him to go to Chiling City. I need an excellent Professor Spell, a new The world needs a professor spell like him."

"I'm better than him." Shiloh snorted.

"I know, but I need you more than everyone else." Dagon looked around, looking puzzled.

"What's the matter? What did you find?"

"I don't know the way." Dagon said, "I rarely come to the city, how can I get to the Academy recently?"

Shiroai smiled slightly, raised his finger in one direction, and jumped on the puppet mount Dagon summoned. They walk through chaotic streets and through the ruins of civil war, riots and monsters. As they approached the Academy, they were stopped by the war tree.

Showing Professor Academy's badge and spell signature at the same time, the tree of war let them pass. In fact, the living war tree does not have the ability to distinguish, but the birds or squirrels on its shoulders can transmit the monitoring screen to the rear controller. It is not complicated to distinguish spell signatures, and students in the incantation class above the fourth grade can do it.

After asking the students, the two went straight to Professor Dongdong's house. The invisible servant who guarded the gate raised his hand, not ready to let Shiroai in, but it felt the long-lost fear from Dagon. While still hesitating, Dagon lifted his disguise and grinned at the invisible servant. Way out of the way, the servants huddled in the corner, as if there would be peace of mind.

"It still remembers you." Shiloh shook his head with a smile.

"That only means the professor remembers me." Dagon went straight in, stepped up the steps, and shouted, "Professor, here I am, I'm Dagon!"

A short, curled silhouette rushed down from the third floor, and Professor Dongdong stared wide-eyed. The sheet on his shoulder slid to the ground, and the grass roots he was holding in his mouth fell. The professor's face was flushed, his eyes darkened, and then tears flowed out. "Dagon, is it really you?"

"It's me, I escaped." As soon as Dagon finished speaking, he felt someone staring at him behind him, so he added: "To be precise, the I was rescued. If no one helped, I would still be in prison. What's wrong with you, are you ill?"

"Cold, I'm still a little weak, it's not a big problem." Professor Dongdong sucked He sniffed, then took out his handkerchief, wiping away tears and snot. He struggled to control his emotions and walked the last few steps before letting Dagon bow his head so he could pat his head carefully.

"Well, this brain shell full of whimsy is too distinctive, it must be Dagon." Professor Dongdong then looked towards Xiluoai, hehe twice, as if a little embarrassed, He said, "Sit down, it's hard work for you."

"Hey, it's almost the same." Shirouai folded her arms around her chest and said, "Dagon, you don't know what I've been through these years. How many eyes, as if it was my responsibility that you were caught. He put all the annoyance that he couldn't save you on my head, I was so wronged!"

"I want to go too , but I was stared so hard that I couldn't get out of the school at all." Professor Dongdong motioned for the two to sit down. However, Dagon first put the sheet back on his shoulders, wrapped it, and then moved the professor to the sofa, and then treated him with the divide technique.

"I've already asked the priest for treatment, and now it's the recovery period. But your diving technique is good, and the spiritual passage is very stable. It can be seen that you have practiced a lot." Professor Dongdong smiled and looked at Dagon , asked: "Where have you been locked up all these years?"

"Siloai said it was called the Mage Prison, I guess it has something to do with the infinite labyrinth. It's the Time Freeze cell, it's very weird anyway." Dagon performed a few spells and found that, as the professor said, he was in the recovery period and was fine, so he said: "Professor, I have escaped, what happened there I'll talk about it later. I want to invite you to Chiling City and build a New World there."

"Let me leave Academy?" Professor Dongdong looked at Dagon kindly, and said, "Wherever I go, I can It is to teach spell, there are better conditions here, I can teach better students, you are my proud student. I think you can teach spell and Shiloh is fine - I'm sure she'll go with you. "

Dagon shook his head resolutely and said, "The conditions here are good, but the students taught here are all students of the old world, members of the system of rule and rule, oppression and oppression." What I need is a new generation of students who know why they study, what to overturn, what to build, how to overturn and build, and then spell. Professor, you don't like the way it is either... no, I should say, I know how to make the world a better place. "

"Like the Equality Act?" "

"No, the days of the Equality Act are over." If history is a flowing river, the Equality Act is the ferry to the Grand Dao of Light, but it has been missed. I will still create equality, but not by laws anymore, but by a new system, a better system. "

"It sounds like you want to fight against the Spirit King, the elected king, and the dwarf, halfling, half-orc chieftain, plus monsters, you want to fight against the whole world?" "Professor Dongdong laughed dumbly and said, "Do you think you can succeed?" "

"The majority of people in the world want equality, happiness, security, and self-esteem. My enemies are actually a minority." There are still many people who are ignorant or do not understand anything, I will educate them, let them understand my ideals, know what is good and what is bad, so that my allies are the majority, and the enemy is isolated , then I can succeed, and everyone can succeed. "

"Your thoughts... very simple, but there is a power in simplicity called rightness, and it is good to see that you have not lost your mind, but have become wiser." "Professor Dongdong said with a smile: "Dagon, I am 79 years old this year. It is very rare for a dwarf to live to 80. I don't think there are many lifespans." Do you still let me go to Chiling City? "

"I don't think it's too late." Dagon said: "I think it is more meaningful to live a day to build the New World than to make bricks for the old world." "

Professor Dongdong lowered his head, half-closed his eyes in deep thought, Dagon and Shiroai waited patiently beside him. After a while, he blew his nose and burned the handkerchief with a fire. lifts the head to ask Dagon a question: "Are you going to be the king of the world? "

"It would be more accurate to say teachers, leaders, and pragmatic workers." "The king decides everything, but what really decides everything is the general trend," Dagon said. The current general trend is to survive under the threat of monsters, to have a pure land where one can live and work in peace, to own it, defend it, and then build it. A person can never create the general trend, he can only see the general trend clearly, and then follow the trend. Maybe I'll be called king, but that's all incidental, never the main thing. "

"You've grown a lot, and I'm convinced." "Professor Dongdong finally smiled, he nodded, and said: "Okay, I can go to Chiling City and see your New World." Even if you can't see it built, you can see the prototype. It's better than a Dark World that can't even accommodate the Equality Act. "

"Very good!" Dagon laughed too.

"Don't be too happy, I'm gone, her aunt must flies into a rage, and most likely I'll be on the wanted list--I don't know if I'll be safe. What is the crime, it is estimated that it is theft, because this crime is the most convenient. "

"I'm also a fugitive, and both the Nomination King and the Spirit King want to arrest me, so I guess my bounty will be quite high." Dagon waved his hand and said: "It's good to have a little challenge, so as not to be too comfortable." People are afraid of ease, because ease can make people dull, and a sense of crisis can inspire wisdom. "

"Dagon, how old are you this year?" "

"73, a little smaller than you, but more beard than you." "

"I have more hair than you!" Professor Dongdong snorted, said: "According to the lifespan of dwarves, you are still a youngster, and you are so mature, as if you have lived most of your life. Although it is good to be wise, it is better to have more youthful energy when you are young. "

"Well, teacher, I remember." Dagon then looked towards Shiloh and asked, "How can we sneak out of the Academy in top secret?" "

Shiloai rolled the eyes and said, "Okay, you found out." I lied to my aunt that she was always a good..."
