Chapter 253 The Hero and the Demon King's Relics
Friends who often kill people know this.
Wearing a hood and a mask, with hurried steps and an expression of looking around, passers-by will label him "suspicious" at first glance, and even the carefree elves will be suspicious of him.
After being rejected by the fourth team, Jade and Spa had to take off their hoods and masks, revealing two ordinary faces of passers-by.
One has brown hair and the other has blonde hair. They look like the kind of people you would see on the street. They are the kind that you can't even find in a crowd.
He is a natural born assassin.
But their profession is not adventurers, but——
"We are adventurers who travel around. Please let us join your team?" Jed said to Melgar in front of him with a smile.
"Want to join the team? Sure, sign first." She handed over the letter of support titled "I fully support Ms. Weinmah's great magic theory."
After the former signed, she said, "Is this your first time in a dungeon? Take the flare. When you reach Lake Lienia, you will be randomly teleported away. Remember to fire the flare and I'll find you."
After saying that, she muttered to herself, "Why do I have to do this kind of shitty thing of training new people myself?" while trying to get others to sign the letter of support, leaving Jade and Spa alone.
"The adventurers here are really enthusiastic and can really help." Jade smiled and waved the flare in his hand. "They are helping me just by signing. I have never done such a cheap deal. They are really kind."
"You can't survive on the battlefield with this mentality." Spa said expressionlessly, "If you want to test it, do it quickly. The Sword Master may set off at any time. We don't have any extra time to waste."
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. Besides, this dungeon is where our Captain Golka was killed. Aren't you curious about why? Don't you want to see the storm dragon and armor in the video?"
"Not at all. I just want to complete the task assigned by the leader."
That’s right, the two of them are mercenaries, mercenaries of the Light Eagle Group.
Their mission this time is related to the Sword Master, but it does not require them to fight the Sword Master, it only requires them to deliver something.
Jed pulled up the sleeve of his left hand, revealing a glittering armband with a decorative gem hanging on it. It didn't look like an ordinary item.
He stroked the gemstone, his face full of nostalgia and reluctance, and said to himself:
"Even if the artifact of the hero who once conquered the Demon King has degraded over time, it is far greater than the weapons forged by craftsmen. I really don't want to give it away."
Spa glanced at him and was about to say something when he saw Melgar leading a group of people towards him and said, "Okay, now that we're all here, let's go."
The service provided by Melgar is to help newcomers quickly reach the town in front of the academy, so they have to take the route of the magic classroom. Together with Jade and Spa, there are a total of ten people.
The only difficulty of this route is finding the transfer certificate and the Kalia Knight guarding the gate. The certificate is not a problem. Melgar quickly led people to find the hidden door. The speed was so fast that they only encountered two waves of puppet soldiers. Even the newcomers didn't have time to take action. All the monsters were killed by Melgar alone.
Jade rated her skills as pretty good, but monsters like puppet soldiers were too weak. What threat could a slow-moving puppet pose?
He didn't see the puppet soldier go berserk, it was all because Melgar attacked too fast.
When he arrived in front of the seal guarded by the Kalia Knight Mugram, Melgar did something that made everyone stare.
"You, just go over there and let him chop you to death." She randomly picked a new adventurer and pushed him, saying it quite skillfully. It seemed that she had done this kind of thing many times.
What kind of devilish request is this!?
Jade and Spa looked at each other and suddenly felt that they should take back their previous evaluation of Melgar - "kind".
It takes a lot of courage to let someone die without changing his expression!
"Why?" the adventurer who was pushed out cried out aggrievedly.
"Because I can't beat him, and after he kills one person, he will leave and be replaced by a weaker Kalia Knight. That way I can take you in, understand?" Melgar patted his shoulder and said, "I will compensate you. You can choose between gold coins and private lessons from Ms. Weinmah."
The adventurer showed a hesitant expression, but Jed was about to go over with great interest, but was stopped by Spa.
"You want to expose the power of your weapon in front of so many people?" Spa asked with a stern face.
Jed did think so, but he was held tightly by Spa. During the time of the struggle, the adventurer had already walked up and was executed by Mugram's flick.
"whispering sound."
Jed looked disappointed, he had a feeling that the Mugram was super strong and was perfect for him to test the power of the weapon, but it ended up being ruined.
Then it was time for Melgar to duel with the Knight of Kalia. She had set up magic traps in advance, wiped the fire grease, swallowed two bottles of belligerence potion, and fought back and forth with the Knight of Kalia in full view of everyone.
"So why are we the only two left alive?"
Jade stared at the bodies of the adventurers disappearing on the ground, looked up at Knight Kalia who was walking towards them, and then looked back at Spa.
Spa pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "How should I know? You want to test it, right? This is a good opportunity."
Just now, seeing the elf's confident look, they thought they could win for sure, but in the end, he was killed by the Knight of Kalia, and also killed a group of newbies.
As the saying goes, you can’t judge an elf by its appearance. The more reliable an elf looks, the less reliable it is actually.
"Then I'll do it."
Jed shrugged and walked towards the Knight of Kalia, who swung his staff at him and the pyroxite magic gravel quickly attacked.
A breeze blew, and the fallen leaves in the center of the courtyard shifted in direction.
Knight Kalia suddenly discovered that Jade in front of him had disappeared.
"Here, look this way." Jed's frivolous voice came from behind.
“.”
Knight Kalia raised his hand and released the Radiant Sword Circle, then quickly turned around and attacked with the Radiant Stone Swift Demon Gravel!
"You missed." Jed's voice came from behind again.
Knight Kalia turned around again, but still couldn't see the opponent. It was as if Jed was fixed behind him and he could never hit him.
"Spa, did you see that? It's really strong, hahaha!"
Jade's figure disappeared again, but this time the Kalia Knight hunched his body as if he had been hit hard, and he didn't know when he was hurt.
"I feel like this knight is very strong, but he just can't hit me. This is the power of equipment!"
"Don't be so careless."
Spa watched the battle with amazement in his eyes.
The weapon "Wind" is a divine weapon used by a brave man known as "Hurricane" in history. It has the power to control the wind. It is said that he once relied on this artifact to summon a strong wind that swept across the continent, and was able to blend his body into the wind. He even relied on the power of this artifact to defeat the original demon king without injury.
Every hero and demon king has the possibility to obtain his own artifact when awakening, and each artifact has unique power.
Only a hero or the Demon King himself can use the divine weapon. Anyone else who forcibly uses it will only be punished by God.
But there is another clever way.
After the owner of a divine weapon dies, the divine weapon will not disappear, but will only wear out and degrade over the long years and become something called "weaponry".
The weapon has less than one percent of the power of its predecessor, and can only be used by the person chosen by it. If it is forcibly used by someone who is not chosen, then a sacrifice is required to awaken it and recharge it.
The types of sacrifices are the bones and lives of people with unique talents that are similar to the properties of weapons.
Each sacrifice can awaken the weapon for at least two years.
It seems to be very expensive, but it is definitely worth it, because weapons are beyond all equipment and more powerful than any enchanted items.
However, unique talents are not necessarily useful. There are many talents that are useless or even counterproductive.
No one knows how the Light Eagles got this weapon, and no one knows how many weapons the Light Eagles actually have.
There are countless heroes and demon kings who have disappeared in history, and the number of divine weapons is unknown, probably more than a hundred.
Today's weapon "Wind" can no longer summon a gale that sweeps across the continent, but it retains the ability to turn the user into wind for a short period of time. This ability naturally has some restrictions on its use, but it is still powerful.
The fact that Knight Kalia is currently covered in wounds and cannot touch Jade at all is proof of this.
Jed's attack method is very simple. The wind goes straight through the Kalia Knight and then causes a violent impact on him, because he cannot swing his weapon in the wind state.
Don't underestimate the power of the collision. Every ordinary collision is no less powerful than a dragon's chariot. If there were no time or number limits, it would be a perfect weapon of destruction.
"Do I need to be careful? He can't even hit me!" Jed was very excited. The power of the weapon was beyond his imagination.
Spa also remained silent. It seemed that his reminder just now was completely unnecessary, but he still had to say something.
"Hurry up and solve it, they should be back soon."
"I know, I know."
Jade responded impatiently, wanting to run the weapon to maximum power to kill the Kalia Knight instantly, the wind pressure was inciting, but he finally sighed.
"I can only exert half of my power, this talent of mine"
He no longer hid behind Knight Kalia, but faced him, wanting to let him know how he died.
Knight Kalia dropped his staff and picked up his shield.
Jed rushed! He rushed to the enemy!
In an instant, he was extremely close to Knight Kalia, and could even see the other's face in the dark and the upturned corners of his mouth through the gap in his helmet.
Upturned corners of the mouth?
"Bang!"
Under the shocked gazes of Jade and Spa, Knight Kalia swung his shield, azure magic light burst out, and Jade's gate opened wide in an instant.
All kinds of martial arts, this is Kalia's return!
Even the wind can bounce! ?
Jed was too shocked to move, and watched as Knight Kalia stabbed him with his sword. Just as the sword pierced his chest, Spa finally took action.
Two magic missiles, one knocked Jade away and the other harvested the last vitality of the Knight of Kalia.
“Boom—”
When the knight fell to the ground, Spa rushed to Jed's side and sprinkled healing potions on his wound.
"How is it possible? How could my weapons be..."
Jed's eyes were blank. What did Knight Kalia do? Why could a shield even deflect the wind?
"I told you not to be careless. This is the dungeon the captain himself told you to be careful about." Spa scolded.
"But it's weapons."
"The weapon is powerful, but does it have anything to do with us? You can't even unleash its full power. Who knows if the knight can deflect the fully released weapon?"
He added another sentence.
"This is not the equipment's failure, it's just your failure."
What good will it do you if I finish you off? Jed stared at the other party with resentment. At this moment, Melgar finally came back with a large army.
"You won?" She said in surprise, "You're quite capable, a veteran disguised as a newcomer?"
Unfortunately, the two mercenaries were no longer in the mood to chat with her. They said a few perfunctory words to her and entered the seal together.
Just as Melgar said at the beginning, those who entered the lake area for the first time would be teleported randomly, and Jed and Spa were lucky enough to appear in the same area.
It was foggy today with low visibility, so the two tried to launch a flare - actually a very dazzling fireball.
".She really can't find us." Spa's eyelids twitched.
"Luckily I prepared this. It's said to be a map produced by a very famous strategy team. It can determine the location based on nearby landmarks and also marks the location of the town." Jade laughed, "At times like this, you should look at the map."
"Are you feeling refreshed again?"
"I figured it out. I was careless just now, but I won't do that again next time. Now that I'm here, it would be a shame if I didn't get something and left."
"Just leave as soon as possible today and don't delay your work."
The two of them walked into the thick fog cautiously. Occasionally, figures on horseback would pass through the fog, looking a little scary. Whenever they were about to encounter monsters, Jed would use the power of weapons to take Spa away from them, and they never triggered a battle.
But they didn't notice that a dark, round figure appeared in the thick fog, and a pair of big eyes stared at them.
