It seemed that he had found the target. Klein retracted his gaze and made a rough judgment.
Because there was no portrait, and the dead adventurer's face was burned black, Ellan obviously did not recognize him as one of the targets. After observing the situation and listening to the creepy laughter for a few seconds, he pointed at the three or four military personnel lying not far from the house and said in a deep voice:
“First drag them back and wait for the other groups to arrive before launching the attack.
"or"
He hesitated for a moment, then looked up at the dark blue airship that was approaching.
Ellan didn't say anything more, nor did he order Klein and Danitz to do anything. He ran towards the military personnel who had been frozen unconscious and had a purple face.
The closer he got to that place, the weaker his steps became. In the end, his body became stiff and every step he took was extremely difficult.
Ireland, who had been a boatswain in the Royal Navy, was very experienced. He made a prompt decision, stopped moving forward, slowly turned around, and walked back step by step.
He walked more and more smoothly, but his whole body still trembled uncontrollably, and a light layer of white frost covered his eyebrows and temples.
The extreme cold that defied common sense and was like a quick-freezing disaster. With the help of Ellan's attempt, Klein grasped the degree of danger in that area and sighed in his heart:
"Unfortunately, the Sun Brooch cannot produce real heat. It is a mental stimulation. Although it will also cause obvious reactions in the body, it can only allow people to endure such a cold disaster for three or four seconds at most."
After looking at Ellan, who was chattering his teeth and trying to speak but couldn't, Klein glanced at Danitz.
He threw away his cane and said in a low voice:
"fire."
Fire? Danitz was stunned at first, but soon understood what Gehrman Sparrow meant.
He also saw the whole process of Ellan's failed rescue attempt!
Danitz condensed a ball of not-so-bright red flame in the palm of his right hand and threw it towards the side of the military personnel.
The fireball traveled a distance of nearly twenty meters and landed on the ground. There was no sound of an explosion, only flames rising quietly.
The red pillar of fire made a crackling sound, kept shrinking, and quickly dimmed.
Suddenly, it expanded as if in its death throes.
Klein, wearing a black woolen coat, jumped out and landed right next to the military officer.
He bent his back, stretched out his hands, and grabbed the other person's clothes.
Then, he pushed forward with his feet, exerted force from his waist and back, and swung it out violently.
The military personnel immediately took off into the air, flew smoothly, and landed ten meters away, escaping from the area where the cold was most severe.
After doing all this, Klein snapped his fingers and lit a match that he had specially kept in his pocket before the coldness seeped into his flesh and blood.
The red flames surged out like water, submerging him in an instant.
When everything dimmed, Klein had disappeared from the spot.
Flames leaped out, flickering on and off. With the help of Danitz's fireball and his own matches, Klein kept flashing in the extremely cold area and easily threw several military personnel out.
After two or three relays, he carried the last military personnel back to the original position.
Ai Erlan had obviously calmed down, gave a thumbs up and said:
"I am very grateful and honored that I made the decision to ask for your help today."
Captain, I just like your subtle compliments. Also, remember to increase your pay. Klein nodded politely, half turned around, looked toward the house with open windows, and heard the laughter inside getting stranger and stranger.
Danitz curled his lips and cursed Ireland inwardly:
"Don't you see the contribution I made?
“Although my fireball has become like a prop in a magic show, it has made a real contribution!
"This guy is nicknamed Fair Ireland, but he's not fair at all!"
As he muttered, a shadow covered the area and the airship arrived in the air on the opposite side.
"Evacuate the people in the surrounding houses!" an officer on the airship shouted from afar.
After Ireland and the two teams that arrived later cleared several nearby houses, the airship lowered its altitude and adjusted its muzzle.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Artillery fired continuously, bombarding the house from which the strange laughter came.
Hearing the explosions and seeing the violent flashes of fire, Klein, holding his cane, felt a little sad for a moment.
This is the "fire coverage" tactic he advocates, which was once proposed in Tingen City but could not be put into practice. Today, the overseas colonial army showed him the real scene.
Amid the deafening sound of artillery fire, Ireland and others guarded different positions, preventing the people or monsters inside from breaking out.
The houses collapsed quickly, and smoke rose from the piled up bricks, stones and wood. All the snow and ice had disappeared.
Suddenly, a thick bolt of lightning flashed and struck the airship with its fangs and claws.
Klein frowned as he saw the airship come to a complete stop and heard the teeth-grinding sound of the steam boiler.
The dark blue-painted aerial monster was somewhat out of control, emitting a smoke that was not too big but not too small, and was drifting to the side.
It seems that there is ammunition isolation, and the outer layer of the airbag is protecting it. I thought there would be a secondary explosion, directly blowing the airship into several pieces. Klein turned all his attention back to the collapsed house.
When he first felt the deep cold and saw the male adventurer being burned, he thought he had encountered another witch who possessed the "witch" potion formula. Having dealt with witches several times, he knew that Beyonders of this path could control ice and black flames starting from Sequence 7.
But the lightning just now made him deny this judgment. He believed that Leticia was indeed a member of the "Moss Ascetic Order" or "Elemental Dawn", and an original and authentic woman.
As soon as Klein finished his thought, the pile of bricks, stones and wood was suddenly opened, and a figure mixed with bright red and charred black climbed out, using his elbows to support himself.
She was a woman, and they could vaguely make out Leticia's original appearance, which surprised Aierlan and the others to find that the target had been found, but compared to before, Leticia's current state was both horrible and miserable.
Her body was covered with black spots and torn into bright red holes by the shells, with white fascia squirming inside as if it had a life of its own.
The top of her head cracked open and her brains poured out, sticking to the surface like a bunch of children's hands overlapping each other.
Her blue-gray eyes had lost focus, one pupil was burning with fire, the other was flashing with lightning.
Embedded in her abdomen, below her chest, were two heads screaming in pain. They were the other two male adventurers.
Not only was she out of control, she also felt contaminated. She had been seriously injured in the previous round of bombardment, and her aura had dropped to the extreme. Klein did not take any action, but watched those military Beyonders launch attacks in layers.
After a round of "Spirit Piercing", "Whip of Pain", purification bullets, and small-caliber artillery fire, the out-of-control Laticia, who only had time to make the ground crack and spread outward, completely collapsed and disintegrated, turning into a corpse.
Bang!
Her torso fell to the ground and the heads of the two male adventurers rolled out.
Klein narrowed his eyes and discovered that there was a yellow-brown sheepskin book hidden in the flesh and blood of Laticia's abdomen.
On the surface of the book, there is a line of words written in Elvish:
"The Book of Disasters."
Why do these books and notes always get into other people's pockets? The same thing happened with the Antigonus family notes last time. Klein complained first, and then suspected that this Book of Calamities was the item that the pseudo-archaeologist Laetitia took from the "Poseidon" ruins.
At this moment, a military officer took advantage of the opportunity when the two male adventurers seemed to be able to speak and asked hurriedly:
"What did you do in the Poseidon ruins?"
"The ruins of Poseidon," one of the male adventurers replied in pain and confusion, "We have never been there."
He tried to move his eyes to check the condition of his neck and below.
"The remains of the sea god on Simim Island." The military officer reminded.
"No, there isn't one." The male adventurer wanted to shake his head but couldn't. "We went to the ancient elf ruins. Leticia found a book inside. She liked it very much and started studying it very quickly. She, she's crazy! She's crazy!"
The male adventurer screamed, and his remaining spirit completely collapsed.
It's not the lost temple of the Sea God, but the remains of the ancient elves? This is different from what I thought. Klein was about to listen carefully when Ellan came over and politely asked him and Danitz to stay away from the interrogation.
Turning into another street, Klein slowed down his pace and thought about the whole thing:
"Why did Laticia's taking of the Book of Calamity from the ancient elves' ruins cause the sea god Kalvetuwa to no longer be able to maintain his own existence and gradually collapse? What is the connection between the two?
"According to Little Sun, the Elf King Sonja Solem, the ancient god, holds the authority of the current Storm Lord. In other words, there is undoubtedly a Sequence 3 Sea King among the elves, as well as a higher Sequence 2 Sea King.
"Could it be that Kalvetuwa, the sea serpent, accidentally discovered an elven ruin on the seabed, directly swallowed the extraordinary characteristics left by a certain upper-level elf, and luckily survived the two stages of sudden death and loss of control, and successfully obtained the status of a demigod, and gradually gained the faith of the natives of the Rorsted Islands?"
Klein slowly came up with an idea, for which he had to thank Mr. Hanged Man.
At first, the little "Sun" did not reveal the corresponding powers of the eight ancient gods. Later, under the repeated guidance of the "Hanged Man", he told some of them, including the general situation of the Elf King Soniatholem.
As for the direct swallowing of extraordinary characteristics or corresponding materials to enhance, it is not unprecedented. Before the potion system was fully constructed, human ancestors made similar attempts to obtain extraordinary powers, but only a small number of extremely lucky people survived and became extraordinary people. They did not turn into monsters or lunatics, nor did they die on the spot with their flesh and blood collapsed.
The success rate of such an attempt is one in a thousand, one in ten thousand, or even lower. With the advent of the potion system, no one is willing to take such a big risk.
"If that's true, Kalvetuwa was very lucky. Of course, it was also because of its strong body. However, its intelligence didn't seem to have improved much, and it could only deceive people. It didn't even discover that there was an elf ruin on Simim Island, and that it was closely related to the ruins where it was hiding.
"After Laetitia and her group took the Book of Calamity, the ruins collapsed, causing a change in Kalvetuwa's hideout, which was already barely surviving and could no longer be maintained? This can explain why Laetitia and her group succeeded so easily. There were no resistance forces or Poseidon believers guarding the place. It was not until something went wrong that Kalvetuwa discovered the problem and realized that the two ruins were related."
Based on his previous thoughts, Klein tried to explain the parts of the whole thing that confused him.
This includes why the dying "Sea God" Kalvetuwa did not allow his believers to become carriers. This could reduce many accidents and make things simpler. Given the brutality shown by Kalvetuwa, it was a natural choice.
The answer that Klein thought of was that the body that Kalvetua wanted to contaminate and occupy must have a certain amount of elven blood. Only in this way could it withstand the transfer of extraordinary characteristics to a certain extent.
And when he touched it, because of the gray fog and its own peculiarities, Kalvetuwa immediately found a better target.
