The Void Pathfinder from the Demon Hunter World
Chapter 10: Nuclear War of the Empire (Part 1)
On the way out of the Grand Gate, Avallac was eager to let the emperor and other important officials know the good news, so he walked very fast.
At the same time, the look he gave Marvin was no different from the look he gave his own son.
Marvin also acted very hard. There was no way, he didn't want to leave so quickly, at least he had to find a dozen seconds to remember the spatial coordinates.
In that huge palace, the space was extremely chaotic and the coordinates could not be calculated at all.
The old and the young loved each other, and the great sage revealed a lot of information to Marvin.
The palace that accommodated the Grand Gate was called the Cyrus Palace.
When the Grand Gate was opened, it would cause a large range of spatial disturbances and magical turbulence. Even if it was not fully opened, just letting a small team of wild hunters pass through would affect the surrounding environment.
The Cyrus Palace not only prevented wind and rain from damaging delicate runes and equipment, but also served as a barrier to limit spatial disturbances and magical turbulence.
In the Cyrus Palace, it was difficult to cast magic, let alone use the blood power of the ancient blood.
This information made Marvin very scared, fortunately he did not do it.
The complex of buildings guarding the Cyrus Palace is the headquarters of the Red Cavalry. Normally, except for going out on missions, all navigators and knights must stay there to defend the Grand Gate.
Gradually, the Cyrus Palace referred to the entire complex.
In addition to the above information, Marvin also received a lot of benefits that only remained verbal.
According to the promise of the Great Sage, money, treasures, titles, beauties... As long as he is loyal enough, everything will be at his fingertips.
In the near future, after gaining the trust of everyone, he will also be stationed in the Cyrus Palace, and it is even possible to lead the Red Cavalry, take on heavier tasks and greater glory.
In short, the chicken blood is full.
Marvin understands the nature of the Elf Empire, remembers the hatred with the Wild Hunt, and has seen a wider world, but he has no interest in these.
Before the verbal benefits are truly fulfilled, he has to stay in the palace temporarily. Avallac settled his "own son" and hurried to see the emperor.
Modus was left in the Cyrus Palace to investigate whether the number of navigators is correct.
He had seen Marvin's old armor, and Marvin also shared with him more information about the navigator. This job should not be difficult.
In the palace, Oberon, the XD patient, was there, but Eredin was not in the palace. He went to inspect the military camp in the north of the city.
There is a huge military camp in the northern suburbs of Tyr City, where the 50,000 most elite royal guards of the empire are stationed. Eredin's ambition is almost obvious.
Oberon didn't care about it. He was very excited about the good news brought back by Avallac'h, but the emperor was not only an addict but also a patient with advanced procrastination, and he didn't want to rush at all.
Finally, at the repeated request of the great sage, he decided to gather several important ministers in the study to discuss after the court meeting the day after tomorrow.
Marvin, who still lives in the palace, behaves very "normally", reading, studying, strolling, and occasionally staring at the beautiful elf maid with lustful eyes.
Avallac'h stood by Marvin like a hen watching her chicks. He admired Marvin's eagerness to learn and patiently answered many magic questions. He almost pulled the maid to warm Marvin's bed.
But he gave up after all, considering Emperor Oberon's face and the meeting the day after tomorrow.
The great sage gave Marvin three bottles of recovery secret medicine as agreed, and even gave him the formula under the young man's eager eyes, and taught him a lot of alchemy knowledge.
When the two said goodbye in the laboratory the next afternoon, Avallac'h asked Marvin to be ready to meet the emperor tomorrow morning and join the second half of the agenda, and even prepared a robe for him.
Marvin's smile was almost unstoppable, half of it was fake and half of it was real.
What he didn't know was that since he crossed into this world, no one could run away.
The Void Tree temporarily blocked the boundary wall and focused on this world, in order to catch the ancient blood of the Ain El tribe in one fell swoop.
The blockade of a world can only be temporary, otherwise it will consume too much "time and space power", which is so great that no great being is willing to bear it.
This is also the reason why Marvin's time limit for this mission is so tight.
...
The next morning, the double sun had just risen, and Marvin walked out of the room, holding a book and walked towards the small garden in the front hall of the palace.
Perhaps because of the change in status, many servants and maids saluted him when he passed by this morning.
Since he first saw Eredin "returning victorious" in the garden next to the front hall, he has insisted on this habit every day.
Because from here you can clearly see the entrance to the palace, you can see who is coming and whether they have entered the front hall.
Moreover, the sunshine in the early morning of late summer is very comfortable, and it is not abrupt to bask in the sun and read books here.
Most elves are unwilling to stay in the room, and prefer the natural environment, whether they are painting, playing the piano, reading books, or practicing magic.
One after another, luxurious carriages drove into the palace from the long bridge, and nobles in gorgeous robes walked into the front hall. Marvin rolled up the book at the right time and walked towards his room.
There were still 5 minutes before the meeting. Marvin packed up everything, confirmed Modus's location and status, and went out again.
When the meeting started, Marvin was already standing at the door of Avallac's laboratory.
There was no furniture or debris behind the door. He had confirmed it yesterday.
He teleported through the door and felt the magic fluctuations as soon as his feet landed. It was a magic alarm.
It didn't matter. It was just an alarm that Avallac could receive. Marvin knew it long ago.
He rushed to the bookshelf in two steps and took out the nuclear bomb. The timed explosion had been set long ago.
00:00:20
His fingers passed over the books one by one, and it took only 5 seconds to collect all the books he liked.
00:00:15
Read the bar to teleport.
More than ten seconds later, bang! The door of the laboratory was broken by magic energy. Avalak rushed into the laboratory and saw only the light spots left after the teleportation.
A square metal object was quietly placed in front of the bookshelf, with a strange red indicator light flashing on it.
00:00:02
……
In the northern suburbs of Tyre City, in a grove about 40 kilometers away from the palace.
In the shadow cast by the leaves, a blue light lit up and expanded rapidly, and Marvin teleported over.
On the first day of landing in this world, Marvin asked Modus to conduct a full-map reconnaissance of Tyre City. How could he let go of such a large military camp.
On the night of stealing grain, Marvin not only visited the granary, but also set several spatial coordinates around Tyre City, just for this moment.
As soon as the transmission ended, Marvin tore off the "positioning pendant" on his neck and threw it on the ground, then jumped behind a big tree.
The birds in the forest flew up in panic, humming and flying to the north. The whole capital suddenly lost its voice, and there was no noise at all. Even the river became quiet.
Many perceptive mages in the city looked towards the palace involuntarily.
A huge blazing white ball of light suddenly lit up, and the magnificent stone palace did not cause any obstruction to it.
The ball of light expanded rapidly, covering the entire palace complex and expanding rapidly outward, destroying the garden, palace walls, canyon, and long bridge.
The upper city on the other side of the canyon was completely destroyed in an instant, and the Senar River, which had been rushing in the canyon for who knows how many years, was cut off. The violent wind pressure continued to push outward, destroying everything around.
At this time, the explosion that shook the sky and the earth was heard, like the roar of a god.
The beasts in the forest ran for their lives, but were still caught up by the shock wave, and were crushed into powder along with the trees and rocks.
The air wave continued to expand outward, but was blocked by the atmospheric pressure and rolled back. The flames on the top rushed into the sky, forming a magnificent mushroom cloud.
…
In the north of the city, the Royal Guards camp was surrounded by a cluster of neat stone houses. In the three-story building at the core, a sturdy elf wearing navigator armor but no helmet was practicing magic on the terrace.
He was Caranthir Ar-Feiniel, the most talented navigator. Note ②
Avallac'h really wanted to train him as a successor, but influenced by his elders and people around him since childhood, his thoughts tended to be hawkish, and he tended to be more hawkish as he grew up.
At this moment, he was still young and not very strong, and he had not yet reached the position of the second in command of the Wild Hunt.
But he gradually disapproved of the teacher's path. He thought the teacher was too "weak" and Eredin was more to his taste.
He received a magic message from his teacher yesterday, hoping that he could also go to the palace to attend the meeting this morning.
As the most valued student of the Great Sage, he received the most detailed letter and naturally knew why this meeting was held.
But he was not convinced!
He has always been an undisputed genius and a genius recognized as the most likely to inherit the title of the Great Sage.
How could he be convinced that a lowly mixed-blood bastard suddenly appeared and was valued by the teacher? How could he attend this palace meeting? To be a spectator and a clown? To congratulate that bastard?
So he did not go to the palace, but came to the Royal Guards camp to find his friends to drink and relieve boredom.
He was on the terrace when the nuclear explosion occurred.
He didn't know what happened, staring blankly at the miraculous mushroom cloud, and watching his friends rush out of the small building like crazy to gather the army.
...
In the woods not far from the barracks, the tremor of the ground made the stones bounce wildly like water drops in an oil pan, and an orange-red portal suddenly opened.
The violent flames and impact rushed out with a huge amount of radiation, and at the same time... half a person was rushed out.
The portal was instantly destroyed by the explosion, and the half person flew out of the portal, brushing past the tree where Marvin was hiding.
The excellent dynamic vision allowed Marvin to see who it was, Avallac.
This is a nuclear explosion! The center of the explosion! It's a bit outrageous that you can open a portal to escape.
Marvin hid behind the tree more because he was worried about the shock wave after the explosion. What if the nuclear bomb data he knew was wrong?
The explosion equivalent was 50,000 tons, and the explosion affected a range of 10 to 15 kilometers.
What if it was inaccurate? What if the shock wave was still destructive dozens of kilometers away?
After all, he had never seen a nuclear explosion, right?
He really didn't expect Avallac to locate himself and open the portal in just two seconds, but the great sage was in a very bad state now.
Avallac had lost his left arm and left shoulder at this time. From the burnt flesh gap, you can still see the beating heart. The flesh on the left thigh was charred and fell off, revealing the white bones. Only the right side of the head was intact, and the other side had become a charred skeleton.
One second before the nuclear bomb countdown reached zero, Avallac'h tracked down the point where Marvin teleported, and with his extraordinary magic ability, he opened the magic shield and the portal, and was finally hit by the shock wave.
But he was too close to the explosion point, and the nuclear explosion burned for less than 0.1 seconds to shatter the shield and burn him into his current state.
At this time, Marvin had no intention of paying attention to the kill prompt that had been flashing on the screen. He turned around and caught up with Avallac'h who had landed, and slashed with his sword.
[The great sage Avallac'h has been killed. ]
[Tip: There are 9 heirs of the ancient bloodline in this world. ]
[Tip: Avallac's full set of Grand Gate technical data has been detected and the data has been collected. ]
[Tip: The mission "Grand Gate" has been completed and the mission evaluation is being calculated...]
[Tip: The mission "Grand Gate" has been completed, and the mission evaluation is S+. Rewards free attribute points +10, Paradise Coins 1000. ]
Picking up the purple treasure chest next to the corpse, Marvin hid behind the tree.
Unexpectedly, the second main task was completed like this. He did not find the data in the palace library or the laboratory.
Originally, his next plan was not to blow up the Grand Gate first, but to look for it in the Cyrus Palace. Now it seems that it is not necessary.
As a great sage, it seems reasonable for Avallac's to keep the technical data of the Grand Gate. It is also reasonable to carry such an important thing in a magic package.
But it is just too reasonable.
After arriving in this world, everything seemed to be going smoothly, but being caught became an opportunity to complete the mission.
Instead of taking action rashly, he got 3 more bottles of potions and formulas.
Marvin was not used to such good luck.
Also, isn't the reward for this mission a bit too shabby? The mission rating is S+!
On second thought, it was only completed as part of the main mission, so the difficulty of the mission was indeed a bit low, so I didn't care.
While he was thinking about it, the strong wind in the distance was pushing the huge wall of smoke and dust to the north, getting closer and closer.
...
Time went back to when Marvin had just dropped the nuclear bomb.
00:00:15
Just now, the great sage Avallac'h ignored the palace rules and Eredin's roar, opened the portal and ran away.
Eredin and more than a dozen high-level mages all felt the abnormality, but they all looked confused.
They were in the safest Awakening Palace in the empire. What was the abnormality? What was the abnormality?
Why did the great sage, who had always been gentle and polite, become so abnormal?
His Majesty Oberon on the throne is no longer the wise mage who once dominated the battlefield. Years of XD and laziness made him unaware of anything. He just looked at Eredin with a confused face.
00:00:05
Almost all the mages felt the fatal threat, and the meeting room was in chaos.
More than a dozen mages wanted to open the portal, but because there were too many people who wanted to open the door, the space was disordered, and no one succeeded in opening it.
00:00:00
When the nuclear explosion occurred, almost everyone in the meeting room was instantly vaporized, leaving no trace.
Eredin, the King of the Wild Hunt, was an exception. He was not only a powerful warrior, but the ancient blood gave him the ability to stay in the alien space for a short time.
A moment before the nuclear explosion, he sensed the fatal danger and hid in that alien space alone. Note ①
Ten minutes after the nuclear explosion, he was forced to kick out. The continuous ultra-high temperature and ultra-high radiation at the center of the explosion killed Eredin in the next few seconds, turning his body into a pile of carbonized rotten meat.
…
In the woods north of the city, although Avallac'h's portal only lasted for more than a second, the leaked nuclear radiation was still considerable. Marvin had put on his helmet and changed into full-finger gloves, and hid further away.
The strong wind had completely lost its power when it blew to the northern suburbs. It seemed that the data was quite reliable.
Radioactive dust submerged the entire city of Tyre, and visibility dropped sharply.
This was a good opportunity for a sneak attack. Marvin ran and rushed to the military camp not far away.
At this moment, the military camp in the north of the city was in chaos. Although panicked, the will of both officers and soldiers was very unified. They quickly gathered and rushed to the south of the city to defend the palace.
They didn't know that the palace was gone, and they didn't know that the god of death was approaching.
A few minutes later, another nuclear bomb exploded, another mushroom cloud rose, and another kill prompt was displayed on the screen.
50,000 royal guards were completely wiped out, and the best navigator, Caranthir.
…
[Tip: There are still 8 heirs of the ancient blood in this world. 】
[Prompt: Detected that pioneer 000000027 used nuclear weapons to destroy a large number of local creatures, which has violated the initial regulations. In view of the particularity of this mission, the penalty is reduced, the nuclear weapon kill benefit is reduced by 50%, and a warning is issued. 】
When seeing these two prompts, Marvin was already resting in a cave on a cliff dozens of kilometers away.
He was very tired after two consecutive teleports in half an hour.
While resting, he flipped through the kill prompts, there were really too many.
Fortunately, after officially signing the contract to become a pioneer, only important kills will be displayed, otherwise it may take several days to flip through.
He flipped through it for almost an hour.
The kill prompts not only have names, but also titles and identities, which let him know who he killed.
He didn't expect that Caranthir was actually in the northern military camp.
Because there were enough nuclear bombs prepared, he could still be so fierce. Originally, he just wanted to eliminate the superior forces of Ain El and help the rebels. As a result, he hit the mark by accident.
Fortunately, he prepared enough nuclear bombs, so he didn't miss the military camp. If he took one less, the result would be different.
Leaving one for the Grand Gate and the Wild Hunt, and keeping another as a trump card, he might really let the military camp go.
It can be imagined that there must be a lot of treasure chests in the original palace, the destroyed city, and the military camp, but the nuclear radiation is too serious now, it is not suitable to pick up boxes.
And there is a big head, so he can't waste time picking up boxes. He is now racing against time to see if he will get to the Cyrus Palace first, or the news of the explosion in the capital will arrive first.
Moreover, radiation can kill people, and failure of the mission will also kill people. It is not difficult to choose whether life is more important or treasure chests are more important, right?
According to the explanation of Paradise: "The treasure chest is only visible to the contractors (including pioneers and law enforcers) and servants. Before all contractors (including pioneers and law enforcers) leave this world, the unpicked treasure chest will not disappear."
This mission is obviously customized for him. There is a high probability that he is the only contractor in this world, so naturally he should do the mission first and leave the treasure chest first.
Even if there are other contractors, he doesn't believe that any second-level contractor dares to go in and pick up the box in the face of nuclear radiation. Is he going to die?
If there are other contractors who come to this world, and happen to have super strong physique like him, and happen to be wearing radiation protection equipment in the mysterious side world, and happen to be near the city of Tyre and not killed by the explosion.
Then he will admit defeat.
……
Note ①: In the final chapter of the game Witcher 3, during the final battle of Eredin, the BOSS used this ability in the second stage.
Note ②: In the final chapter of the game Witcher 3, the penultimate BOSS is Caranthir, whose frost magic and teleportation are very powerful, and many players have been abused by him. In the book, Boss Gao avenged you. I made all the final bosses in this chapter miserable.
In the game, I didn't know what Caranthir looked like until I died. I can't write it. I didn't even get a close-up. I'm not as good as Imlerith. Tsk tsk tsk...
