Chapter 112: Curtain of the Fairy Wilderness
Looking from their position, below is a small basin surrounded by mountains on three sides. These mountains are rare earth mountains in the rocky land. From top to bottom, they are lush and lush. Covered by various trees.
In the middle of the small basin, there is a small lake shaped like a teardrop with rippling waves. The most peculiar thing is that the side of the small lake near the mouth of the valley has clear weather and you can see the bottom at a glance.
On the side closer to the inside, there are clouds and mist, and everything is looming.
If you look carefully, you can see the other half of the small lake. If you look more carefully, there seems to be a castle with a very unique style. Behind the castle, there is an endless green forest.
It's just the huge military camp in the direction of Taniguchi that destroys this harmonious beauty.
"The Curtain? The Curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness?" Gavin's attention was completely focused on the mist-shrouded side of the small lake.
"Curtain? What is Curtain? Where is the Fairy Wilderness?" The young copper dragon asked curiously. She had never heard of either of these two words.
“Our world is not the only one, do you know this?”
“I know this, we are in the multiverse, we are on the main material plane, and Various outer planes and elemental planes.”
"In addition to what you mentioned, there are several inseparable planes that are intertwined with the main material plane, such as the etheric plane, the astral plane, the shadow plane and the Fey Wilds.
Among them, the Shadow Plane and the Fey Wilderness are parallel to our world, and they are intertwined and influence each other, just like two negatives on the main material plane, except that one is black and white. , the other is in color.
This parallelism is not absolute. It is possible that the two worlds will be intertwined with each other at a certain point, forming a passage that can be freely entered and exited, between us and the Fairy Wilderness. This kind of passage between the two is called the curtain. When you were observing here before, did you often see some creatures that were not found in other places? "
Gawen's general explanation made the young copper dragon a little confused. She seemed to understand, but she seemed not to understand at all. She did understand the last question, and nodded repeatedly: "Yeah, yeah , that is the most interesting thing here. I have seen many teleporting elves here, and I have also seen flying elves that are only one third of the height of kobolds. There is also a colorful Colorful, only a dragon the size of a puppy..."
"That's basically correct. You are not talking about elves, but the elves' close relatives, the eladrin. The flying elf is not a pique. An elf is a little goblin, and as for the dragon the size of a puppy, it should be a goblin dragon.” The information provided by the young dragon made Gavin basically certain that this place is a curtain leading to the goblin wilderness.
Normally, this kind of curtain usually appears deep in dense forests, or in inaccessible places in high mountains.
In the rocky land known for its desolation, there is actually a curtain leading to the Fairy Wilderness, which is really beyond Gavin's expectation.
"Come out, it seems like someone came out of the fog, from the curtain." Iwensa had sharp eyes, and this distance, to her, was almost as close as a stone's throw away.
A group of soldiers came out through the curtain of fog. These soldiers were tall and slender, wearing armor that was very different from humans.
These armors are not so much armor as they are pieces of exquisite art. They are covered with beautiful and mysterious hollow patterns, and the color matching is used to the extreme, making it beautiful but not dull. conventional.
It has to be said that the dragon's vision is really amazing. Gavin can feel this more clearly through the dragon vision glasses that imitate the vision of the dragon.
After the focus of his vision was adjusted, he could clearly see the appearance of those soldiers several kilometers away.
That is indeed an eladrin army.
Elders and elves are 70% or 80% similar in appearance, but anyone who knows these two races can tell them apart at a glance.
Compared to the elves, the wild aura of the eladrin is stronger, and the skin is fairer. Except for the hair, they have basically no body hair, and the magic power exuded from their bodies is stronger, especially the eladrin nobles. They absorb the elven wilderness. The infinite magic power in his body transforms his temperament into a brand new creature that is integrated with the four seasons.
"What are they going to do? Don't they want to fight with the jackals?" Seeing the following situation, Gavin looked incredulous.
Both eladrin and elves have never been known for their field battles. Jungle guerrilla warfare is what they are best at.
Especially when facing a group of ferocious jackals, generally two meters tall, fighting in an open area is definitely not a wise choice.
But looking at what the gnolls were doing down there, Gavin even frowned a little, let alone the eladrin who were extreme environmental protectors.
The gnoll tribe is hunting creatures and cutting down trees unscrupulously, as if trying to build siege equipment.
Seeing the elegans huddled in the mist curtains taking the initiative to come out, the jackals suddenly became excited, and they all looked up to the sky and roared.
Countless hyenas gathered around them, and together with their masters, they excitedly charged towards the eladrin.
In their eyes, these thin Yalings are no match for them. They can break their necks in one bite.
“Let go!”
With the crisp scolding, countless arrows soared into the sky.
Every eladrin is an excellent archer, and even when shooting, their accuracy is frightening.
Many jackals and hyenas fell down while rushing and could never get up again.
A short distance of a hundred meters is enough for the Eldest Spirits to drop four waves of arrows.
When the jackals and hyenas were only thirty or forty meters away from the Yaling, the vines under their feet came to life, twisting and waving, and in the blink of an eye, they swept away the jackals and hyenas who rushed into it. It was tied up so tightly that it was difficult to move even an inch.
Tangle technique!
This is the action of the druids of Yaling. The Yaling soldiers retreated while continuing to shoot.
Firing directly at close range, their accuracy has improved to a higher level, and the arrows never leave their eyes, throat and other vital points.
Gavin's previous worries were completely unnecessary. The eladrin's proactive attack was just a bait to lure the jackals to attack.
In fact, they still played long-range guerrilla tactics, but with the help of druids.
By the time they returned to the edge of the curtain, they had used the same trick for three rounds, and hundreds of jackals had fallen.
The result of the battle was only to injure several Yaling soldiers with throwing spears. From the beginning to the end, the Yaling soldiers were not even able to rush in ten meters away.
On the battlefield, new changes suddenly occurred.
Countless screams came from the jackal camp, and a faint bloody black mist floated out from the camp, passing over the battlefield like a gust of wind.
Wherever the black and red mist passed, the gnolls and hyenas who had fallen stood up again staggeringly, and some of them even let out shrill wails. The shadow was extracted from the corpse, turned into a translucent incorporeal body, and rushed towards the elegans.
Undead magic!
There is a Necromancer among the Gnolls, or a Gnoll Demon Priest.
Necromantic spells are being cast to awaken the gnolls and get them back into the fight.
The sharp archery skills of the eladrin soldiers are ineffective against the slow-moving gnoll zombies or the translucent ghosts.
Especially the latter, ignoring the entanglement skills of the Eladrin druids, flew all the way into the Eladrin soldiers' formation, forcing them to throw away their longbows and pull out their swords. , engage in close combat.
The eladrin that enters the melee fight disappears and appears intermittently, and is elusive. Even ghosts and ghosts cannot give them a fatal blow - this is the elf step unique to the eladrin. They flash back and forth between the material plane and the elf wilderness.
There are gnoll ghosts in front who disrupt the formation, and there are gnoll zombies staggering forward firmly behind. The gnolls and hyena groups on both sides are approaching in a roundabout way.
The overall situation is extremely unfavorable to the Yaling side.
His eyes flickered slightly, Gavin turned to the young dragon and said: "Would you like to go down and help them?"
The young copper dragon already looked eager to try, but he didn't know. How to intervene, "How to help them?"
"Find the gnoll caster and kill him. Without the help of necromancy, these gnolls will not be able to succeed." Gavin's eyes fell on the gnoll camp, which was the key to breaking the situation.
"Is there any commission?" The young dragon was obsessed with money.
"You guys, do you only have money in your eyes? There are kind-hearted people in danger right now, waiting for us to rescue them, but you still only think about money, money, money, don't you think? Isn’t this kind of life very boring?” It was not Gavin who lectured the young dragon, but his spiritual crystal servant Artoria.
She couldn't stand Ivinsa's behavior of being obsessed with money, especially at this important moment when justice should be struck.
"What's wrong with me liking money? What does a little crystal have to do with you? If you have the ability, bite me!" The young dragon bared his teeth and didn't take Artoria's preaching to heart at all, "Anyway You are so poor that you only have crystals, which you can barely sell for a few gold coins.”
Gavin spread his hands and said: "I definitely won't pay the commission. After all, I don't know any of these people, but I don't know if those elegant spirits will be grateful to us and give us treasures afterwards.
It is said that The Fairy Wilderness has many unique treasures. The fairies there can weave the morning sun into glow cloth, the dusk into star cotton, the rainbow after the rain into colorful silk, and the rainy afternoon into gray rain cloth. I also I heard that there is a magical music box called the Pixie Music Box. When opened, it can play beautiful music..."
"Let's go...let's go...what are you waiting for?" The young copper dragon was indignant. Filling Yong said, "I hate necromancy the most. The evil beings who cast this kind of magic should be purified."
She is just for justice, definitely not for those wonderful-sounding treasures.
"Wait a minute, you obey my orders and don't mess around. If the situation goes wrong, we will make a strategic retreat first." Gavin warned carefully, lest Iwensa's enthusiasm would be too much and he would be killed. Throw it into the pile of monsters.
"No problem, let's have a big fight!" Iwensa jumped into the air, grabbed Gavin and flew towards the jackal camp.
Being in the air, I had a clear view of the situation below, and I quickly found the target.
It is difficult to miss it, because it is by no means an easy task to perform this kind of large-scale necromancy. You must use a sacrificial circle or an enhanced ritual. There is usually black mist there, and the sound and light effects are obvious. .
Judging from the brutal scene with blood and mountains of corpses below, the other party is not a necromancer in a simple sense, but a jackal demon priest, the undead monarch, the blood lord, the number one Demonic Priest of Lord Orcus the Undead Maker.
This Gnoll Demon Priest was even more ferocious than Gavin and the others imagined. The Gnolls who were killed were actually part of the demon sacrifice, and the Gnoll zombies and ghosts summoned were all As an additional side effect, the lives and souls of more jackals were absorbed by the demon sacrifice circle he presided over. A blood-red vortex was spinning in the middle of the demon sacrifice circle.
Countless ferocious voices were coming from the other side of the blood-red whirlpool. They were ready to rush into the world and start a killing spree.
