Chapter 167 Unexpected Information
What happened in Rocks Town has come to an end, but the task is still not completed. At least for now, Duanmuhuai only knows that the vampires performed some kind of ritual here, trying to transform the artifact called Azura's Star. But that's all. As for the reason for choosing Rocks Town, it's not clear. Maybe it's just because it's remote and unlucky?
In any case, at least now, the danger faced by Rocks Town has been relieved. After returning to the ground, Duanmuhuai asked Old Bente to negotiate with the people in the town, and then sent someone to inform the whole matter Lord, and they went to the altar of Azuth with the vigilante.
The altar of Azuth is located on a high mountain. There is continuous wind and snow, and there is snow everywhere on the mountain. It is extremely difficult to walk. However, for Gu Lei, he is not worried about such trivial matters.
"In fact, the strange behavior of vampires did not just start now. As early as two months ago, we found that vampires began to frequent various towns, which is quite inconsistent with their usual habit of hiding from the world."
As he was heading towards the mountain, the vigilante whispered.
"So we believe that the vampires are likely to make some big move, but... not everyone believes in our judgment. Some senior officials in the Hall of Vigilance believe that the vampires are just accidental disturbances. In their view, These vampires have always been like this. After being quiet for a period of time, they will suddenly appear and do some weird things."
Having said this, the vigilante clenched his fists hard.
"But now the situation has obviously changed. These vampires have even created so many hounds and a large number of undead souls. This is not just a small matter at all. They must be trying to cause something big!"
< br>
At this time, Azuth's statue also appeared in front of everyone.
On the top of the towering mountains, you can see a statue more than ten meters high standing there. It is a statue of a woman. She holds the moon in her left hand and the sun and stars in her right hand. This is the god of dawn and dusk. , Mother of Roses, Queen of the Night Sky—Azura.
In front of Azula's altar, stood a priest in black robes. She stood at the end of the steps and looked at the person in front of her.
"Azula has foretold your arrival, adventurers, what led you here was not your curiosity, but destiny."
"Okay, whatever you say."
Duanmuhuai didn't say much about the priest's words. To be honest, many demons or demons like to use this method to torture players. For example, a certain deceitful god likes to come out and tell the player when the player has solved everything, that this is not a coincidence, that everything is going according to the plan and is the arrangement of fate. You can't escape fate and plan no matter what.
At the beginning, the players were very angry, but after more experience, the players also had their own response to this.
Just like this priest, we don't know if it's coincidence or fate. You said you had foreseen our arrival, but how could we possibly know what our fate would be?
You said everything went according to plan, but we don't know what your plan was.
So in the final analysis, it’s not that we don’t know anything. Does your plan or destiny have anything to do with us?
Therefore, if players encounter this kind of thing in the future, there is basically only one way to deal with it.
Ah, yes, yes, yes.
No matter what the other party says, just show it off and don't bother to argue with it.
You said it's fate, it's fate. If you said it's according to plan, it's according to plan. What you said is correct.
"This seems to be your master's thing."
Duanmuhuai took out the shining red star of Azura and handed it over. The priest opposite took the Star of Azura and placed it respectfully on the altar, then she raised her hands high.
"Azura, Mother of the Dawn Star, God of Dusk and Dawn, your chosen warrior has sent your stars back!"
Then, the priest was silent for a moment and turned to look at Duanmu Huai.
"She wants to talk to you personally, so put your hands on the altar and you can hear her oracles."
"...Okay, I'd like to hear what she wants to say to me."
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stretched out his hand and placed it on the altar.
But then, the first thing he heard was a cry of surprise - and the earth shook like thunder.
After a while, a woman's voice appeared in Duanmuhuai's ears.
"It's really unimaginable that there are people with this appearance in the mortal world. Even in the Realm of Annihilation, I have never seen such people..."
"If you tell me this, then I'm leaving."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face darkened slightly. He could more or less guess that Azula was probably trembling from his own fear aura just now, but... aside from this, we can still be friends, eldest sister.
"…………Then, I will tell you what you want to know."
Azula also seemed to feel that her reaction just now was a bit exaggerated, so she just pretended that nothing happened and skipped this embarrassing round.
"The Star of Azura is my artifact. It can absorb the soul of any non-intelligent life form without limit and store it in it. However, those blood descendants tried to transform it and turn it into a life that can control all absorbing souls. The existence of..."
"So, you mean, those vampires plan to use this modified Azura Star to absorb someone's soul and then control it?"
"That's right."
"Now that we've said this, how about we just say it all? Ms. Azula? I'll start with the ugly words first. What I hate most is the kind of prophecy that makes people confused and likes to make brain teasers, so I'm sorry to bother you. It’s best to explain in simple and clear language, thank you ”
"Hehehe..."
Hearing Duanmu Huai's unceremonious words, Azula chuckled.
"This is the first time I have seen a being like you, and I can also feel the power of destruction burning in your body... Okay, since you said so, then I will provide you with some information. ”
At this point, Azula's voice became serious again.
"The demon gods are planning to go to the outside world."
"...Huh?" Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows after hearing Azula's explanation.
"I don't quite understand what you mean."
"Not long ago, the soul of an exotic dragon came to the Realm of Annihilation."
Azula continued.
"It points the way to a foreign land, where there are new souls and lands..."
"………………"
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face darkened.
Not long ago... A dragon from a foreign land... Good guy, in other words, that damn bastard evil dragon came here to be a dragon rapist?
Is it planning to take refuge with the Demon God and betray Manalia?
"Alduin, the Devourer of Worlds, has returned, and he is preparing a plan to resurrect the dragon from the foreign land. At that time, it will completely open the passage to the foreign land and devour that world... And what the vampires have done is also It’s just preparation for the demon gods’ plan.”
Good guy, can you bear this?
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai suddenly turned pale. My fragmented world is not for a big reptile like you to come looking for food!
At this time, Duanmuhuai finally figured out the whole story. At that time, he killed the evil dragon Fafna in Manalia. After that, the two world fragments merged, and Fafna's soul ran to this continent. Go up, and then hook up with a dragon named Alduin, who seems to be able to resurrect Fafnir. After Fafnir is resurrected, it will take Alduin with him like a traitor. Go this way ……’Yes!
"Is there a solution?"
"Of course, the girl next to you, the power of the Dragonborn, is the key to ending Alduin. It cannot be completely killed. Only the power of the Dragonborn can end it... As long as Alduin can be eliminated Duin and the Dragon of Foreign Land, then everything will be peaceful again."
These were Azula's last words. When Duanmu Huai came to his senses again, there was no other sound in his ears except the sound of wind.
"What's the matter? Mr. Knight?"
Standing next to Duanmuhuai, looking at Duanmuhuai's face, Gu Leya asked uneasily.
"It's a little troublesome."
Duanmu Huai turned around and briefly explained the situation to the vigilante and Gu Leiya. Of course, he concealed most of the truth. He only said that the demon gods were preparing a big plan that would endanger the entire world - well, actually That's right, of course, which world is at stake is another matter.
After hearing the news, the vigilant was naturally extremely nervous and said that he would immediately go to the vigilant's hall to inform others about the incident. Duanmu Huai also went with him. At the same time, he also took out his soul card. Cards, using the power of telepathy, contacted other people.
[Ann, Lorena, Ogis, are you all here? 】
[Of course, what's the matter? Mr. Knight? 】
【Yes, Lord Knight】
【Owner? 】
Soon, others responded one after another, and Duanmu Huai quickly explained what he knew to everyone.
To put it simply, after the evil dragon Fafna was killed in Manalia, its soul escaped to this land, and then this guy found a giant monster named "The Devourer of Worlds", which sounds pretty cool. With the dragon Alduin as his backer, the two made a deal. Alduin helped Fafnir resurrect, and Fafnir would open the door to Manalia, allowing the world-devourer to have a feast there.
The demon gods in the field of annihilation also learned the news from their own channels. In order to get a share of the pie, these demon gods also started to take action. The so-called food and grass should go before the soldiers and horses are used. This ritual performed by the vampires is basically It's like a certain demon god's reaction before taking action.
【Is there such a thing? 】
After hearing Duanmu Huai's description, the girls were shocked.
[Lorena, is Saharil with you? Ask her if Heaven can block the offensive from the Annihilation Realm? 】
The Annihilation Realm is equivalent to the subspace of this continent, and the opposite side of Manalia is naturally Heaven and Hell.
Although I don’t know if the King of Ice Prison will fight with these outside monks, at least Heaven will definitely not let the demon gods do whatever they want.
[…………Master Saharil said that the current connection between heaven and the Holy City is not close enough……it is difficult to send too many angel legions to support……]
"Tsk..."
Hearing Lorena's answer, Duanmu Huai frowned. This means that he has to face two wars at the same time, one taking place in the real world and an enemy led by a dragon named Alduin, the Devourer of Worlds.
And another war that took place in the subspace realm between the demon gods in the realm of annihilation.
Of course, from the current point of view, the best way is to completely eliminate the opponent before opening the passage. Duanmu Huai can freely cross the two continents because he is the holder of the fragment. As for Alduin's desire to travel to Manalia, it's not just a matter of flying over the mountains.
"But there is no need to worry too much at the moment."
Duanmu Huai also comforted everyone.
"The dragons in this place are not big. We burned Fafnir's body again, and Fafnir himself is definitely not willing to make do with it casually. In addition, it certainly does not work closely with Alduin. relationship, so there is no need to worry about it resurrecting in a short time..."
Duanmuhuai's guess is not unreasonable. Since Alduin is the big BOSS in this world, he must be a cunning and cunning person. As the world BOSS, Favna is definitely not willing to succumb to others. Let's talk about this continent. The dragon is so small, there is no way Fafna would like this kind of body. There must be some open and covert fighting between the two sides.
But that doesn’t mean everyone can sit back and relax.
In any case, after learning about the situation at hand from Azula, Duanmu Huai also knew that there was no time for him to live leisurely.
