Goddess Wanhua Mirror

But even so, in the past two hours, about two-thirds of the construction team had sent out a distress signal. Jorn tried his best to organize people to rescue them, but he didn't know what happened to the construction team.Now that a construction team finally escaped back, he naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"You were attacked by a group of trees!?"

"Yes, those strange trees first spoke suddenly, and then suddenly came out of the ground and beat us. Everyone didn't realize what happened, so they were beaten so hard that we couldn't find the way."

"Is there no warning? Didn't you bring a lamp?"

"The lamp...is not responding!"

The leader of the logging team looked aggrieved. The spirit lamp they just mentioned was a detection-type magic tool made by the dwarves.It can detect rare magical minerals and various dangers, and the lamp carried by the construction team is said to be the largest one, with a claimed detection radius of up to five kilometers (actually three kilometers). Respond for a moment.

However, the situation encountered by various construction teams is obviously unusual.

After learning about what happened, Jon scratched his head in annoyance. His uncle Gulig had just left the house for two days, and he encountered such a stupid thing.Moreover, the chief priest, Winig, is also in the woods, and their situation at this time may not be optimistic.

In order to rescue the attacked construction team, Jorn had dispatched all his mobile forces, and even lowered his head to ask for help from two noble private armies.Naturally, Sharo and Rodriguez would not let go of this great opportunity to show favor to the Steel Whip Clan, and dispatched their elites one after another.

The dwarves sent a total of sixteen construction teams to the forest, three of which were responsible for exploration, five for logging, five for road construction, two for bridge repairs, and one already stationed in the underground city.

Except for the team stationed in the dungeon, which has a maximum of 500 people, the other [-] teams consist of [-] workers plus [-] guards. More than [-] dwarves were dispatched, nearly one-tenth of the clan's population, and more than half of them were young adults of the clan.

You must know that although the total number of dwarf groups gathered under Gulig's command is nearly 3000, as the core steel whip clan, the members of this group are only in the early [-]s.The birth rate of the dwarves has always been low, unlike the human race that has restored the population to the level before God War. If the loss is large, the Steel Whip clan will at least shake its core in the entire group, not to mention its collapse. Status, this is what Gulig doesn't want to see.

Jon is now the first and the second eldest. The uncle just went out to do some errands, and he was asked to fill the seat for two days, and he got into such a big trouble. If he can't handle it well, he will definitely not have good juice to eat!

So Jon turned to Lude for help. This human priest is very powerful. It is said that he is the god of the God of Medicine Sect, and he has a lot of friends. The giant dragon at the opera house joined him that day, and Jon was lucky enough to witness it with his own eyes.If this boss is willing to help, their situation will definitely be much better.

Lude naturally saw what was going on in Jorn's mind, so before the dwarf boy with the "Yuedai haircut" could open his mouth, he offered to help them in their rescue operation.

"Captain Jorn, the situation is urgent now. Since there are multiple construction teams in the forest that are in distress at the same time, there must be a lot of wounded, and the positions of the teams are relatively scattered. I am worried that some seriously injured will not be able to make it back to the village. It is best I rushed there directly, but I don't know the exact location of your construction teams, can you give me a map of yours?"

"Of course you can, but... how do you get there?"

"Let me call Didi first."

"Clam!?"

Under Jorn's puzzled gaze, Lude took out a dragon scale from his bosom, and then scratched its smooth surface twice with his fingernails, and the surface of the scale suddenly emitted obvious fluctuations of magic power.

This scale, nicknamed "BB machine" by Lude, is a special pager left by Ned Hogg. As long as Brother Black Dragon is not very busy and happens to be at home, it usually takes less than four or ten minutes to fly over.

as expected!Half an hour after Luther finished scratching the scales, Nidhogg's figure appeared above the temple.

"It's so cold, what did you call me for?"

"Old friend, please do me a favor, it's not in vain."

After briefly explaining the situation, Luther hoped that Ned Hogg could give him a ride to the woods to rescue the dwarven construction team that was attacked.

The dragon flies fast and has excellent eyesight. Lude has the location map of the construction team in his hand. As long as he flies near there, he should be able to find the dwarves on the ground soon.Moreover, the fighting power of the giant dragon itself is there. If there is any trouble when the time comes, he will definitely not just look at it.

After hearing Lude's request, Ned Hogg frowned. For ordinary people, he would definitely refuse, but Lude was his wife's savior and daughter's nanny, so Ned Hogg couldn't refuse. .

So after hesitating for a moment, the giant dragon stretched out his thick front paws towards Lude with a dark face, and said in a low voice.

"Come on, I'll let you fly."

End of this chapter

With the size of an adult dragon, the size of a human is almost the same as a figure in their eyes. Lude carried two medicine boxes full of potions and medical supplies on his left and right, and stood in the claws of Nigel Hogg superior.

At this moment, Lude suddenly remembered something, turned around and shouted at Jon.

"Captain Jorn, please arrange for a liaison officer for me. The dwarves of the construction team have just been attacked, and they are inevitably nervous. I am a human race, and Nidhogg is a dragon. I am afraid they will not believe me."

"Liaison? Okay! I'll arrange it right away. Where's Charlotte? Hurry up and call that kid over!"

After a while, a young dwarf whose face was three points similar to Jon's, but who was obviously much younger ran over. Jon pulled him and introduced him to Lud. This was his own brother Charlotte Golden Axe. He wanted to stay here to take command, so he asked his brother to go with Lude.

The young man ran over in a hurry, and when he heard that he was going to go to the sky, and he was still held in the claws of the giant dragon, his face suddenly turned a little pale.I don't know if it's because I'm afraid of heights or because I'm afraid of dragons.

"Brother, can I, can I not go?"

"What do you think?"

"……Fine."

Being stared at by her own brother, Charlotte had no choice but to obey obediently, standing on the dragon's paw tremblingly,

But as soon as he came up, Nid Hogg couldn't help frowning, raised his two front paws and weighed it from side to side in a disrespectful manner, then tilted his head, staring at Charlotte suspiciously, looking at him Hairy.

"You, what are you looking at?"

"What are you looking at?" The giant dragon replied in a low voice.

"...Then, let's take a look."

Facing King's Landing, the creature at the top of the world's food chain, the dwarf brother resolutely confessed, and sat with his knees hugged, like a hamster being held in his hands.

With Lude and Charlotte, the giant dragon soared into the sky under the watchful eyes of everyone, and quickly flew towards the vast forest.

According to the map provided by Jorn, Luther pointed out the location of the nearest construction site to Nid Hogg. At the flying speed of a giant dragon, even if flying at a low speed in the hunting search mode, it only took about 10 minutes. In minutes, it successfully arrived at the sky above the target location.

Soon, Nidhogg flew to the target location, and the dwarves who were working nearby erected a watchtower, so they saw the black dragon from a long distance.It was also thanks to his previous appearance at the opera house that the dwarves on the ground did not panic too much in the face of the flying dragon.

Lude looked down from the air and could tell that the camp was not attacked because it was near the edge of the forest.

Nid Hogg did not land, but was suspended in mid-air, and Charlotte explained the situation to the guards on the sentry tower in a loud voice, telling them to withdraw to the village as soon as possible, and then turned to the next construction site.

Relying on the super convenient "flying vehicle" of the giant dragon, Lude and Charlotte passed three construction sites successively. The construction team working on the southern edge of the forest had no problems, but they already knew that going further north Something happened to the other construction teams, and the smoke pillars from the beacon tower were rising one after another.

The leaders of the three construction teams were actually hesitating, because they didn't know what happened to the construction team that had the accident, so they were not sure whether they should evacuate or organize personnel to go to the accident site for rescue.In case the situation is more serious than they imagined, and the compatriots cannot be rescued, they have to put themselves in it.

Fortunately, Lu De showed up in time with the giant dragon and the orders from the base camp, and the construction teams were all relieved.

Leaving the site of the third construction team, Lu De drew another circle on the map, representing that the situation at this site is normal.On the map, another location adjacent to it to the north is marked with an X. This is the construction team that floated back along the river at first.There were 150 of them in the team, and less than [-] managed to escape back. Some dwarves were separated from the team in a panic. It can be said that their lives and deaths are uncertain.

Looking at the four points already marked on the map, Lude speculated in his heart.He had just asked Ned Hogg, the "ground dragon", if there was a tree-shaped monster in the area?Moreover, according to the dwarves who were attacked, these tree people can also talk, and their IQ may not be low.

However, Lude, who thought he could obtain important information, found Ned Hogg showing a naive expression.In the eyes of this dragon student, there are only two types of things in the forest: "edible" and "inedible".

The tree man who can talk, is that the god Ma Dongdong?

Not long after, Nid Hogg flew over the accident site. The ground was already in a mess, and many dwarves could be seen lying in the ruins, motionless, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.

Nigelhogg observed the surroundings and found nothing unusual, so he prepared to descend under Lude's command.But just when their height dropped to about thirty meters from the ground, Nid Hogg seemed to have noticed something, and with a sudden flap of his wings, he raised the height to more than a hundred meters.

"what happened?"

"There's... dirt on the ground."

Hearing Nid Hogg say "dirty things", Lude couldn't help being taken aback.

"What type of filth?"

"It should be poisonous miasma, I should be fine, the point is that you two may not be able to hold it. But... I always feel that this smell is a bit familiar?"

Hearing that there was poisonous gas on the ground instead of some ambushing monster, Lude felt a little more at ease. To deal with this invisible threat, he happened to have some targeted "special equipment" at hand that could come in handy.

So Lude hurriedly opened the medicine box on the right, took out a stack of blue cloth, and handed it to Charlotte next to him.

"Put this on your face."

"Face mask?"

Charlotte, who took the piece of cloth, took a closer look. He recognized this thing, and it was a very ordinary mask.In this world, masks were first invented by the dwarves. During the process of mining and metallurgy, they realized the harm of dust particles to the respiratory tract and lungs, so they developed masks.

But Lu De immediately said that the mask he gave him was unusual, it was a "sacred mask" blessed by divine magic.

Then Lude took out the "Holy Disinfectant" and sprayed himself and Charlotte all over.This set of blessings is equivalent to a "poison immunity" BUFF that can last for several hours.Nid Hogg, on the other hand, relied on his super-strong physique of the dragon race, and most of the toxins had no effect on him.

After making all the preparations, the giant dragon landed on the ground. The construction site was in a mess, and the assailant had long since disappeared.

With the help of Nid Hogg, the dwarves who fell on the scene were collected, no matter whether they were dead or alive. There were 36 dwarves in total, 21 of whom were already dead.Charlotte once cast a begging look at Lu De, but Lu De just shook his head, expressing that he was helpless.

"There are too many dead, I can only take care of the living first..."

Relying on the magic medicine in hand, the fifteen dwarves who were still breathing quickly regained consciousness, but they were still in shock. When they opened their eyes and saw Lude and others, they screamed in fright, shouting "Don't kill me!" I"!

The reaction of the survivors deepened Lude's doubts. He had just checked the injuries of most of the dwarves. Whether they survived or died, the wounds on their bodies did not look like those left by wild beasts, but more like knife wounds.

In addition, from contacting these survivors, Lude could clearly feel that the "sacred disinfectant" he had just sprayed on his body was being consumed at an accelerated rate, which indicated that these survivors were the source of the poisonous gas.

"Got to find a way to calm these guys down."

"Let them calm down? I'll do it!"

Hearing that Luther wanted to calm people down, Ned Hogg volunteered. He stretched out his big head, grinned at a dozen dwarves, and made a whining sound similar to that of a dog in a demonstration. The panicked wounded He calmed down instantly, but still looked a little scared.

"Wow! What did you do to them?"

"Longwei's little tricks...my wife taught me!"

Looking at the proud Ned Hogg, Luther couldn't help but rolled his eyes at this old lady.As time got to know each other longer, Luther saw Nidhogg's "essence" more clearly.

Because he was raised by humans for 200 years, Ned Hogg had no chance to touch real dragon magic before he became an adult, and he couldn't use human magic.Therefore, for more than 100 years after being "released", Ned Hogg, who could not find a teacher, simply gave up studying and concentrated on exercising his body.

Thinking about it carefully, this guy really doesn't have many advantages, except that he is physically strong enough, has a family outlook that wild male dragons don't have, and "Asahi" who puts his wife first in everything.

Relying on Ned Hogg's deterrent skills, the emotions of the dwarves barely stabilized. Lude hurriedly asked them what happened. As a result, the answers of these dwarves were completely different from those of the previous workers who had fled back to the village.

"Crazy, crazy, everyone is crazy! Those guys were obviously fine before, but they suddenly wanted to kill us without warning! We are also inexplicably monsters, and then they called us without any explanation..."

The dwarves who were abandoned at the scene said that they had never seen any so-called treant monsters, and the murderers who attacked them were none other than other workers of the same construction team, that is, those who fled back.

When the incident happened in the morning, because it had just rained last night, the humidity in the forest was very heavy, and there was still mist that had not dissipated.There was almost no warning about the attack, and nearly two-thirds of the dwarves on the construction site suddenly went crazy. They first shouted "there is a monster", and then swung their axes and chopped at the few workers around them.

This set of rhetoric is quite different from that of the other group of dwarves. It seems that one of them is lying, but Lude thought about it for a while, and vaguely guessed that maybe both sides were telling the truth.

At this time, Nid Hogg on the side dipped a little bit of blood on the dead dwarf's body with his little fingernails, brought it up to his nostrils and sniffed it lightly, then sneezed loudly, then turned his head to Lude. shouted.

"Mr. Priest, I know what this is!"

"you know?"

"Well, do you still remember that I was infected with a strange disease in the early spring of this year? I accidentally ate a sick prey. There was a special smell in the blood of that thing. I thought it was delicious at the time, and I thought Another one, and it didn’t take long before I started sneezing wildly. I realized that I might be sick. In the end, it was cured after soaking in magma for half a month. I just smelled the blood of these corpses, it’s the same scent."

Hearing Nid Hogg's discovery, Lude also hurriedly collected some blood samples of the deceased with crystal test tubes. It was not difficult to see something wrong from the color alone. The blood that should have been red turned out to be a strange green color, like Moldy and spoiled in general.

Afterwards, Lude also collected some from the wounded who were still alive. Although these people had just drank the potion prepared by Goddess Tears, and their physical injuries had all healed, the blood in their bodies had not returned to normal, and they also contained a small amount of green matter. , to a lesser extent than the deceased.

Looking at some blood samples on his hand, Lu De frowned.He has done a lot of clinical tests with "Evelina's Tears" before. In addition to the healing ability equivalent to that of middle and high-level lay on hands, it also has a good detoxification effect. Ordinary poisons can easily solve it. .

However, the blood of the wounded dwarves showed that the poison in their bodies could actually counteract the efficacy of the magic medicine, and the toxicity was quite awesome.

"Could it be a biological virus..."

After thinking for a moment, Lude immediately decided to change the original plan. He asked Ned Hogg to take Charlotte back to the village first, and told them to temporarily isolate the dwarves who had fled back and all close contacts. The three construction teams that are retreating and all other search and rescue teams that have entered the forest must also be isolated to prevent them from contacting the village and the dwarven stronghold.Because if it is really a biological virus, it is very likely to be contagious.

After the notification, Ned Hogg took Charlotte to fly around along the route marked on the map, and tried his best to notify all the construction teams that have had accidents and those that have not yet, so that they don't go back to the village and go to the nearest underground city. Concentrate treatment there.

Then Lude distributed a medicine box to Charlotte, and gave him a brief introduction to the usage of various props in it, asking him to try his best to ensure his own safety.

"My lord, what about you?"

"I will stay here for the time being to do on-site investigations. We must know what the enemy we are facing is so that we can prescribe the right medicine, right?"

Under Luther's watchful eye, Ned Hogg took Charlotte and flew towards Pine Tree Village at full speed.On Lude's side, after arranging fifteen wounded dwarves and letting them go to have a good rest first, he came to the woods alone, took out a bone flute with a strange shape from his pocket, and played it.

The sound of the flute is not loud at first, but it can emit a special sound wave that ordinary people cannot hear. After Luther finished playing the flute and waited for a while, he heard rustling sounds in the woods, followed by I saw two dog heads, one big and one small, coming out of the bushes. It was a kobold cavalry riding a giant dog as a mount.

The kobold cavalry came to Lude, immediately turned over and jumped off the dog's back, then knelt down in front of him on one knee.

Looking at the bright red scarf around the opponent's neck, Lude couldn't help raising a smile that only he, a time traveler, could understand, and then said to the Kobold Knight in a very kind tone.

"You came in time, Ah Qin."

End of this chapter

During the Ratman incident, Lude had captured a group of demi-human captives who were willing to take refuge with him, and they were basically weak races that did not pose much threat to humans.

Originally, I wanted to achieve multi-racial coexistence in Songshu Village, but the facts have proved that the prejudice and estrangement that have lasted for thousands of years cannot be easily changed overnight.Even if Lude has a very high prestige in Pine Tree Village, if he came forward to suppress them, the villagers would only show their disgust towards these demihumans without knowing it. However, behind the scenes that Lude couldn't see, bullying and discrimination emerged endlessly.

The situation is better, like the village head Rom, who simply treats the demihumans as free coolies. The magnificent three-story hotel in his family was built only by relying on dozens of demihumans to work overtime every day.There was an accident during the period, and a gray goblin slipped and fell seriously injured because of being too exhausted. Fortunately, Lude rushed to the scene in time and rescued him with magic.

After the hotel was built, Lu De specifically went to Rom and reminded him that it was a bit embarrassing not to pay others. As a result, the old cripple got it wrong, and paid for it "filial piety" to Lu De, annoyed Master Lu almost kicked the opponent's old face.

In the final analysis, the vast majority of human beings are actually color-controlled, good-looking like elves, no matter how bad their attitude towards humans is, there are still people who will lick them on poles, and even the worse their tone and attitude, the more they lick them!

That is to say, the ugly kobolds, if they were all soft and cute beast-eared girls, the human race would definitely not have the current attitude.
