Gawain said he wanted to take a look at the Great Wall - of course he didn't go to the Sentinel Tower on the border of Gondor Wasteland to see it.
The nearest Sentinel Tower is also at the end of the strip plain at the southern foot of the Dark Mountain. To get there, you not only have to climb over this mountain range, but also have to pass through dozens of kilometers of desolate wasteland. It is simply not possible now. Things to consider.
But it would be much simpler if you just look at it from a distance. The Magnificent Wall is just like its name, a giant barrier that can be described as a "miracle". Those sentinel towers that are nearly a thousand meters high are just walls. The "anchor", and the wall itself is a magic barrier connected to the clouds. As long as you stand on a higher ground in the dark mountains, you can clearly see the top of the barrier, and Gawain can also determine where the sentinels are. Approximate condition of the tower.
With Amber and his foot strength, it is not difficult to reach the nearest commanding heights in a short time, but it is not easy to bring two serfs who are just ordinary people, so they must first A guide will take you back to the camp.
And you have to go back first to calm your mind.
Gawain lowered his head and looked at the wreckage of the aberrations that were emitting faint black smoke: the flesh and blood mud on the wreckage had been wiped out, but the remaining blood-red bones dissipated slowly, which would take about two or three days. It will "evaporate" completely. Before these debris completely dissipate, they should be put to some use.
Gawain raised the pioneer sword and chopped hard on the bones that were harder than steel, and soon cut off their ugly heads. Amber looked at him with horror: "Hey Mom... why are you still carrying a whip corpse... Mom, you are so twisted..."
"Bringing this thing back has a miraculous effect on calming people's hearts," Gawain raised his head and glanced at Amber, then took it. The newly chopped skull was thrown into the opponent's arms, and then he bent down to chop off one, "Then--I'll get another one."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" Amber was suddenly thrown over by Gawain. The monster's head was so frightened that it let out an exclamation, and then hurriedly shouted, "You are sick! Are you sure you are bringing this thing back to calm people's hearts and not scare them out of trouble?!"
"For the Cecil people who have just been destroyed by aberrations, seeing the corpses of these killed monsters is the fastest way to increase their confidence and fighting spirit - although it may be a bit mentally stimulating, but The effect is the best."
Gawain said as he cut off the new head, and then he ignored the other two monsters lying a little further away, but carried the head with one hand and the other. Holding the long sword, he walked towards the corner where he was hiding before. The two serfs who led the way were still hiding in it as ordered.
In fact, they did not even dare to poke their heads out of their hiding places to take a look at the situation from the beginning to the end - they only heard the brief but fierce sound of fighting, even though it sounded like their lord had obtained the victory. Victory, but neither of them had the courage to come out and see the result.
It wasn’t until Gawain appeared carrying a huge blood-red skull that they woke up and saw the ferocious skull.With their heads filled with terror, both of them gasped: "God!" "Oh my God!"
"God will not help you deal with these monsters," Gawain said casually, "All the aberrants have been killed, let's go back to the camp first."
He deliberately showed his relief, and added seemingly casually: "But having said that, these things are still the same as those of Seven They were as weak as they were a hundred years ago. How can something like this threaten the safety of the camp with just one sword?"
The two serfs looked at each other in shock, and then one of them reacted. , nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes! Lord, you are so powerful, these monsters are really vulnerable to you!"
The other serf was stunned. He muttered: "But I just heard Miss Amber calling for help..."
"Ahem!" Gawain coughed twice and interrupted the other party's words, and looked at Amber calmly. , "That was a war cry!"
Amber also reacted, with a serious look on his face: "Yes, that was a war cry! Other than that, no matter what you heard, you heard it wrong!"
"Understood? These monsters are not as strong as you think," Gawain looked at the two people in front of him, "Keep this in mind, and then return to the camp."
Two serfs They nodded repeatedly: As long as they can return to the camp quickly, they can talk about anything. What's more, they have clearly seen that the monster's head has been chopped off by their own lord!
With two aberrant heads emitting black smoke, Gawain and his party quickly returned from the mountains and returned to the camp.
When approaching the camp, Gawain deliberately handed the two heads to two serfs and asked them to hold the two skulls and walk in front of them.
At first, the two serfs were frightened almost out of their wits. They only received the skull cautiously under the order of the lord, but soon they realized that the bone was already a dead object, and It was a dead thing that was constantly dissipating. They finally plucked up the courage, and after they plucked up the courage, the hatred for the monsters that destroyed their former home finally spread from their stagnant hearts.
They held the skulls high and walked in front like soldiers holding flags. They deliberately showed the trophies to the people in the camp who were trembling and poking their heads, even though they were not the ones who destroyed the monsters. But they seemed to have shared the glory in the process.
The atmosphere of panic and tension still lingers in the camp, but Gawain can imagine that after the two skulls are brought back, the panic and tension in the camp may still be there, but there will also be more stability. ——
For this world full of monsters and beasts, and where demon tides have also occurred, what people fear most is not monsters, but the inability to resist when monsters attack, as long as they see them A little hope of defeating the monster was enough for them to muster up some courage.
Even if these courages are onlyIt was enough to prevent them from escaping the camp that day.
Amber cleverly understood what Gawain meant. The first thing she did after entering the camp was to follow the two serfs everywhere to find someone to brag about, telling them how easy it was to defeat these monsters, especially It was she who played such a decisive role in this process - she didn't mention calling for help anyway.
But for Gawain, who returned to the camp, what he had to do had just begun.
He called Hetty: "Hetty, do you know the auxiliary spells for magic shielding?"
"Yes, and you are very skilled," Hetty answered very Confidence, "Because I can't break through the intermediate level, I have learned all the spells that can be learned below the intermediate level."
Except for aiming...
"Very good," Gao Wen suppressed the desire to complain, "You come with me into the mountain again, I need your spells."
"Haven't the monsters been eliminated?" Hetty was a little puzzled, " When I saw the trophies you brought back, I thought I was going to lift the alarm..."
"That is to temporarily calm people's hearts," Gawain shook his head. "Those aberrations wandered out from the wasteland of Gondor, and they traveled all the way. Having crossed the southern strip of plains and the entire mountain range to get here, I suspect something is wrong on the Great Wall—and I suspect there are more than just a few aberrations wandering out."
Hetty. Without asking any more questions, he went back and arranged his affairs during his absence. Then he took his staff and put on a short robe that was convenient for traveling in the wild, and was ready to set off.
Gawain found Amber, who was touring the camp, and after pulling in this half-elf who tried to evade work on the grounds that he was "helping with publicity", the three of them entered the mountains again, and Soon he returned to the place where he fought the monster before.
Those huge bloody skeletons are still lying quietly on the mountain road, in a state of constant decomposition.
Amber frowned and looked at the ugly wreckage: "How did you know there were more monsters? Did you see them?"
"You don't understand aberrations," Gao Wen then expressed his judgment, "Did you know that aberrations are things that become more tenacious the more they are in number, and more fragile the less they are in number, and will even destroy themselves when the number is too small?"
Don’t talk about amber, even Hetty doesn’t know about it: “Destroyed when the number is too small? What’s going on?”
“The aberrations and the demonic tide complement each other, and may even be the same thing. "There are two ways to express this phenomenon," Gao Wen explained. "There is a threshold for the number of aberrations. After exceeding this threshold, the greater the number, the stronger the magic tide pollution will be, and the stronger the pollution smell, the more the aberrations will The more and stronger they are, and the ubiquitous magic in nature is the soil that allows this process to continue to develop. Therefore, as long as a sufficient number of aberrations gather together, they can form a new magic tide pollution point, and Rapidly expands and spreads; but conversely, if it is lower than that value, the magic tide pollution generated by the aberrations willNot only will they not be able to proliferate, but they will not even be able to sustain themselves. They will continue to weaken and gradually decompose in an orderly world - this process is very fast, and aberrations that break away from the large army will even collapse themselves within three days. "
Amber glanced at the wreckage on the ground: "I remember you said that the aberrants would wander blindly or stay in place without sensing the target. In this case, their movements The speed is very, very slow..."
"Yes, if there were only four monsters, they would never be able to wander from the Gondor Wasteland to this place. At their speed, they would be halfway there. It's time to dissipate," Gawain did not hide his worries, "So these four monsters broke away from a large army... Maybe they are lost, maybe the team is too loose, but the large army definitely exists. "
Hetty couldn't help but hold her staff a little nervously.
Gawain concentrated his energy and carefully observed the mountain paths where the monsters wandered.
p>
Aberrations are the product of the dark demonic tide. Their chaotic magic power is as pungent and eye-catching as rancid sludge in this world. Although these chaotic magic powers dissipate very quickly, these The monster had only appeared not long ago, so the traces of magic power were most likely still there.
As expected, after concentrating on distinguishing it carefully, he sensed a slight incongruity in one direction of the mountain road. .
That direction also happens to be one of the roads pointing to the southern foot of the Dark Mountain.
