Chapter 71 Dwarf Tribe
=======================
The business of borrowing money and not returning it was explained in great detail.
When Feather Pen looked over, he saw Luke's profile with a smile on his face, and he was absent-minded for a moment.
It was not until the other party took out the terminal that a very ostentatious little man pushing a stone appeared in the lagging news live broadcast room.
At about the same time, extremely loud insults drifted from the city, and they were still being transmitted through a wall.
"Damn it, why did the picture freeze?"
"What a damn internet, is there anyone who can take care of this sinister little weirdo?"
The voices of complaint also included the silence of the Lord of Big Stone City.
He was stuck in the middle of following the live news broadcast, so he had to fly up to the sky to find another way to watch the battle. He said to the old monster entrenched in the sky: "Old buddy, let me go up."
He looked up to see where the fight was going.
In the distance, in the exile land, the battle has become increasingly intense.
The saint from the previous generation was about to return home, but unfortunately she was returning to the underworld.
A single wisp of the ancestor's spiritual consciousness is definitely not as powerful as that of the saint. The latter still maintained certain vital signs after thawing.
After several rounds of fierce fighting, the spiritual awareness around them became less and less, but the woman's condition had become extremely miserable.
If she continues to waste time, she will be completely defeated in a quarter of an hour at most.
Defeat is not terrible, but a futile and tragic defeat is unacceptable.
The woman's body turned into a flowing phantom, trying to break through the encirclement and self-destruct in front of the Elf King.
The Elf King stood in the air and shot another arrow. A longbow also appeared out of thin air in the hands of the first generation Dark Elf Chief.
One in front and one behind, two terrifying magic arrows of light and darkness intertwined, and the woman had no way to avoid them at a short range.
Snap, the sound of flesh and bones breaking was very crisp.
The sword hit the target and the woman fell heavily.
The consciousness of the first generation dark elf king no longer looked at her, and his gaze swept towards the Elf King.
His spiritual consciousness was exhausted and about to dissipate. He only said the last four words: "When the lips are gone, the teeth are cold."
The two tribes had been at odds for a long time, but after all, they were once one bloodline. The demise of either one is never a good thing for the other.
The Beast Ancestor is much more open-minded. He doesn't actually care too much about his ancestors and grandchildren. After all, he has already taken action once and has done his best.
Before his final moment of death, he took the time to take a look at the natural world.
There are more than twenty souls left. They are positioned as a reserve force, with less effort, but can still survive for a while.
Everyone was busy doing their own things, and no one was interested in watching the saint of a certain generation.
The scene returned to chaos again, and the cage formed by the cold air had collapsed.
First she was beaten up and then completely ignored. The saints of all generations were more arrogant than each other. How could they bear this humiliation?
She looked at the Elf King angrily.
However, the Elf King did not even look at the Saint and took out the terminal.
Soon, Barry received the news and started rushing over frantically, and he kept explaining on the way:
"The result of the life-and-death duel has come out, and the Elf King has won! Our station has successfully contacted the Elf King, and he is willing to accept our interview."
"This is undoubtedly a battle that will shake the world. This Saint is not that Saint, this Beast King is not that Beast King, this Dark Elf is not that Dark Elf..."
The network signal began to recover gradually.
The reporter's strong summary and cooperation finally enabled the community to log on to the Internet, and the truth was finally slowly revealed to the world.
During this period, the audience had no idea how many times they had doubted their ears. The saint is not a saint, and the helper is not the helper of this era.
Throughout the live broadcast, they were filled with questions, and thousands of words were reduced to two sentences in the short video:
What is true.
So what is true? !
As Barry hurried on his way, every place the camera passed was evidence of a previous large-scale duel.
The noisy spiritual consciousness had already dissipated. In the rubble, the woman's abdomen was soaked in blood and her strange snow-white mask was cracked.
To be safe, Barry stood not too far away. For a demon, he was exceptionally polite.
"Hello, can I interview you?"
I was originally going to interview the Elf King first, but seeing that a certain generation of Saint is dying, I guess she will die if I don’t interview her now.
"May I ask how you feel now? Can you accept the outcome of this battle?"
What responded to him was the woman's cold eyes and blood that kept flowing out of her mouth.
"Times have changed. You may not be aware of this, but our interview content can be simultaneously broadcast live to audiences of all ethnic groups on the mainland. Everyone is very concerned about the outcome of this duel."
puff.
This time it was a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that she was really speechless, Barry began to interview another duelist.
The Elf King was very cooperative: "After the incident with the Life Liquid, I can no longer praise the character of the Holy Court. If someone hadn't taken my place, I would have had a fair duel."
This is true, and it is also the only thing that Luke is worried about.
The elves have the integrity of preferring to break rather than bend. As long as the Holy Court does not play dirty tricks, the Elf King will not use these divine senses even if he possesses them.
Fortunately, the Holy Court is the most competitive.
The Elf King looked up into the sky without saying a word.
If the bottom line of the Holy Court was a little lower, today might be a double happiness. '
…
The great battle caused the temperature within thousands of miles of the Stone City to drop, and it was extremely cold in the sky.
The extreme temperature was blocked by the solid scales. Berlani shuttled through the clouds, producing almost no breath fluctuations while swimming.
As a rare frost dragon, traveling in such weather is the perfect cover.
The dragon's eyes were quietly looking down ahead from above the clouds.
Found it.
Luke said that we should assume the greatest malice towards our enemies.
"He was right." The Holy See set up an ambush on the road that leads from the Stone City to the Elf Island.
The strategy of the Holy See is quite good, setting up checkpoints in the high altitude area.
The formation and distance can perfectly block the magician's breath. After a normal decisive battle, the Elf King's strength will inevitably be consumed, and he may be ambushed because he is really out of energy.
Berlani then sent a message to Luke about his location.
The latter replied immediately: [Coming right up].
When two figures arrived at the same time, Blaney's inquiring gaze paused on the feather pen.
We just met half an hour ago, why did this person's aura suddenly become stronger?
Having just absorbed the negative emotions of half the continent, Quill looked into the distance and determined that it was still about a hundred miles away from the ambush point.
"After the Holy See learns of the defeat, it will quickly cancel the ambush plan. These magicians should be waiting for the evacuation order."
Now is the time when they are most relaxed.
"Do you want to fight?" asked Quill after analyzing it.
Luke nodded: "I'll start."
After he finished speaking, he stretched out his slender fingers, and the blockbuster bomb formed by the gathering of faith was even more powerful than the sneak attack on Alec in the hall that day.
The extremely powerful ball of light, at the moment of formation, the magician in the distance seemed to sense something and looked over.
Luka took the initiative and kicked hard, and the ball of light shot straight out like a missile.
"Truth, fire!"
The pure big dumpling hits the target direction at the speed of light.
The speed was too fast, and the ambushing magician had no time to set up defense when he noticed it.
They never thought that they would be ambushed by surprise and would be attacked by surprise as well. As the big dumpling exploded, the scene suddenly became chaotic.
Luka got off to a good start. The feather pen did not give the magicians any chance to react. It tore open the space, and the thin lines condensed from the gray-white mist controlled the nearby magicians.
"Len, you're crazy!"
The magician growled as he was attacked by his companions.
After encountering explosions and ambushes continuously, everyone's first reaction was not that the enemy was being controlled, but that a traitor had turned against them.
Otherwise, how could such a hidden high-altitude location be discovered?
The feather pen controlled several more magicians without anyone noticing.
There were more than 300 great magicians, and about 20 of them were seriously injured in the explosion. The rest gathered together and formed an extremely powerful force.
Unfortunately, internal suspicion made their first reaction to escape.
Reaching a higher position, Blaney's body became almost invisible, and he sprayed out terrifying ice flames. The magician covered by the flames turned into ashes in an instant.
"Retreat! Retreat quickly!"
At this time, no one would be stupid enough to wait for the Holy See's orders and just escape.
He threw the feather pen away after use and did not hesitate to control the great magician in his hand to self-destruct.
On the other side, since Luka stepped into the tenth level, the time it took him to launch the Truth Support was much shorter than before.
At the moment the magician self-destructed, he took the opportunity to condense a heavy bow out of thin air and fired ten consecutive arrows of faith.
Corpses fell from the sky like dumplings.
The screams from behind made the magicians in front speed up. Some of them reacted and reminded people not to disperse and to first determine the number of people who would attack them. But these are too weak to save lives.
In the end, those who fled were still scattered.
Luke watched this scene expressionlessly.
After a moment, he withdrew his hand and said to Quill and Berlani, "I won't chase you anymore."
They took the initiative and caught the other side off guard, which really forced these great magicians to work together again, which actually caused some trouble.
The smell of blood and the sound of dying filled the air.
In the direction where the blood was flowing, further away were the ruins of the mountains that had turned into ruins after the duel.
At this moment, there are still countless powerful auras rushing towards the almost exiled place, trying to witness the scene after the decisive battle with their own eyes.
The terrain of the Exiled Land was forcibly changed by the Ancestral Soul's self-explosion, just like the situation in the entire Holy Demon Continent, which was advancing with unstoppable momentum.
…
A duel caused the Holy See to lose a trump card that could check and balance the saint, and also resulted in the loss of many magicians.
The real-time report of the news caused a stir on the Internet, and until now, people are still discussing the substitute tactics used by both sides against each other.
When Lujia returned, the city was much quieter, but the discussions on the roadside were still going on.
The Lord of Boulder City had arrived at some point and was sitting opposite the inn with a dignified-looking man. The latter's eyelids and neck were covered with a light layer of scales, and it was obvious that he was not a human.
Quill guessed the other party's identity: "It should be the incarnation of the guardian beast in the sky of Boulder City."
Just as Luke was curious about the other person's race, the man spoke first.
"I am half dragon, my mother is from the Chaos Beast Clan."
Luke looked at the pure-blooded dragon, and Berlani nodded: "It does have the breath of a dragon."
As for the Chaos Beast Clan, they were once an extremely powerful race, but because their powerful bodies made it difficult for them to reproduce, they have now become extinct.
The man looked at Lujia and said, "When I first met you half a year ago, you were still struggling for a few gold coins."
A monster of this size would actually pay attention to me?
"I have seen many different kinds of visitors. It is only a matter of time before some of them rise to prominence." The man stood up and said to the Lord of the Stone City, "It is getting late. I will leave for the Holy City first."
Luke pricked up his ears.
Knowing his curiosity, the Lord of Giant Stone City took a sip of tea and said, "The Holy Court suffered a heavy loss this time. The Saint is preparing to restore the Outer Court and invite some guest officials to take charge to help the Holy Court overcome the difficulties."
In the past, the Holy Court was divided into the Inner and Outer Courts. Later, in order to gain greater control, the Outer Court was abolished.
The saint is obviously going to intervene forcefully now.
Luke raised his eyebrows when he heard this.
What a great guest official to be in charge. Isn't this just direct surveillance?
Killing someone is heart-breaking.
He took out the storage ring and said to the man, "Please help me take it to the Holy Court."
It was the most ordinary storage ring. A strong person could tell what was inside with just a glance of his spiritual sense: forty-nine corpses.
The man said calmly, "It's just something that happens easily."
"Round it up?" he asked.
Luke: “…No need.”
After the man left, the Lord of Giant Stone City also had some official business to attend to. He reminded Lujia, "The wind direction at the terminal is a little strange, so you should pay more attention."
Luke nodded.
He was too busy before and had no time, but now he sees that the community is full of crazy discussions, with thousands of new channels added in a short period of time.
The whole process has infinite twists and turns, and the biggest point of discussion is how the Elf King obtained so many ancestral souls.
Several races responded one after another, with the same words, saying that the Elf King took the initiative to propose the deal for terminal cooperation, and they did not expect it to be used in a duel, and were very shocked.
I didn't expect there would be a ghost!
But everyone knows that this is bound to be a confusing matter.
The Holy See suffered a major setback this time and would definitely not open fire at this critical juncture and offend so many races.
After the entire duel, the biggest beneficiary is undoubtedly "Today's News".
We followed the entire process with factual and realistic reports, and even though the Holy See banned spectators from watching the battle, we were still able to get first-hand information.
The successful interviews with the duelists afterwards made it recognized as the most authoritative news release channel.
Lujia was scrolling through the updates with satisfaction, when suddenly, his eyes tightened slightly.
【alert! The terminal will explode! 】
This post was posted about twenty minutes ago, but it's getting a lot of heat.
[I was injured by an explosion this morning. Pictures show the truth. If you don’t believe it, you can try to study your own terminal. 】
[Uh, that's what I've always suspected. The terminal itself is a magical device, and the essence of each device is a weapon. 】
[Is it so scary!] 】
The spread and appearance of speech were very concentrated, the content was similar, and it showed explosive growth.
The dwarves even made a public statement:
【alert! The terminal contains dangerous inscriptions that will explode! 】
The dwarves are an absolute authority in technology, and after their certification, there was a lot of controversy on the internet.
#Terminal,explosion# has become an absolutely hotly discussed term.
In addition, there are some other complaints, which are gradually gaining popularity:
[I just want to point out one point. The terminal was originally said to be able to replace the communication stone, but what was the result? Caton can't get up. 】
[That’s right, if we encounter a fatal threat and ask for help, wouldn’t that kill us? 】
[It is said to save lives, but in fact the terminal itself is the most deadly. 】
"You're quite good at finding entry points." Luka shook his head after reading it.
The terminal does contain an explosive inscription, and its core is the leaf of the Tree of Wisdom. When forcibly removed for research, the leaf will self-destruct.
However, this kind of self-destruction is almost in the form of burning, and the possibility of hurting people is very small.
Common freezes can be fixed within a few minutes.
When you are faced with a fatal threat and are about to die, who would still send text messages?
Of course, if you really encounter extremely special circumstances, there is nothing you can do. There is no perfect product in the world.
Putting away the terminal, Luke stretched his muscles lazily and said to the quill, "Let's go and have a rest."
Inside the Holy Court, the situation was completely different from Luke's ease. The interior of the once majestic hall was now filled with a low-pressure terror.
The maid reported carefully, "We have ordered people to divert attention. The dwarves and Iliad have long had rifts, and they are willing to cooperate with us."
The Saint was sitting in the main hall today, with guards standing motionless on both sides of the endless long steps below.
After the maid finished her report, the temperature in the hall seemed to drop even lower.
After a while, the Saint Girl spoke softly, "With so many accusations against the terminal, my good son didn't respond?"
The maid shook her head.
This is exactly what she found strange. None of the stakeholders, such as the Elf King and the terminal distributors, came out to verbally defend this matter.
Why do they choose to ignore such a serious accusation, which could ruin terminal sales?
"Oh."
No reputation is good reputation.
The saint understood Luke's arrangement, news and terminal, and the other party only cared about the reputation of the former.
She couldn't help but close her eyes slightly.
The Holy See is burdened by its reputation. If the demons had used the substitute plan today, everyone would have taken it for granted, but they couldn't.
The reputation accumulated over countless years collapsed in an instant.
"Postpone the curse plan." Playing this card now probably won't be of much use, so it's better to save it for the critical moment.
The Saint suddenly frowned: "Such a big commotion has occurred, but the Demon King doesn't care."
The maid bowed her head: "It is said that the demon king is in seclusion."
"Is he in a dead-closed state?"
The moment the cold air leaked out, everyone in the hall lowered their heads in fear.
The maid was frightened and felt uneasy at the same time.
The Holy See is not a monolithic entity. After a series of failures, many people may have begun to doubt the Saint's ability.
The saint also realized that she was somewhat out of control emotionally.
She issued two orders in succession:
"Use all our hidden agents in the Demon Realm to investigate the Demon King's movements."
"By the way, check the identity of the man who has been following Iliad."
The child had good luck. He had known many important people since his rise to fame, so it was normal for him to have some experts looking after him. But now, she has some other guesses.
…
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west. It will not change because of someone's death.
While everyone was busy, Luke had a good sleep.
Every time after launching the truth, he would feel mentally exhausted. After sleeping for a whole day, he finally recovered.
After waking up, I found an unread message from the Elf King on my terminal: [Today is too busy, I will come back to enjoy the music another day (smile). 】
The entire continent is paying attention to the Elf King now, so this is definitely not a suitable time to meet.
【Luke’s review: OK. 】
In the outer room, Berlane and Quill are talking.
Seeing him wake up, Berlani said, "The accusations about the terminal are still deepening. Do you need me to warn the dwarves?"
"The dwarves..."
Luke really had no good feelings towards this race. From the Land of Exile to the Stone City, and even later in the Holy City, friction occurred every time he encountered the dwarves.
But he had to admit that the dwarves were quite powerful.
They are almost unique in their craftsmanship and technology.
In the future, if we want to reduce the consumption of magic stones used in terminals and develop technologies such as three-fold, five-fold, and eight-position installation of photo stones to increase the cost, we cannot do without the dwarves.
Luke thought for a moment and said, "Can you tell me more about this race?"
Berlani thought for a moment and said, "In every era of civilization, there are powerful and declining races. The dwarves are one of the few that remain standing. Their people are scattered all over the continent. It is said that the ancestor of the dwarves suffered a blood curse, so all the dwarves who came after them are ugly and have bad luck."
Luke hit the nail on the head: "They are still able to survive in civilization even in this state, it seems that they are very powerful."
Berlani: "That's right. The dwarves' mechanisms are even more powerful than their formations, and their weapons and equipment are even more unique."
He emphasized: "This generation of dwarf king is a top weapon master."
Luke estimated that the dwarves were even more powerful than what Berlani described.
Otherwise, the other party would not ask to take the initiative to warn you.
He looked at Quill, who had been silent.
Quill Pen has also dealt with this race before: "It's useless to give them benefits and reason with them. If you're not careful, they will bite you back. Give them some sweet treats occasionally and keep suppressing them. That's what the dwarves will buy into."
Bullying the weak and fearing the strong, with a distorted mentality.
Luke opened his mouth.
What kind of evil people are these?
--------------------
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
Reporter: As the mastermind behind this duel, what do you think about the outcome of this duel?
Luke: ...
This is a diary, a diary! Why come to interview someone else's diary? !
One hundred small red envelopes will be dropped randomly~
I have finished the manuscript, but I have to go out for something. If there are any typos, I will fix them when I come back~
