Conquest

    Chapter 194 [The Real Master]

    A row of new graves stood beside the grass, and everyone rested here for a day before they set off on the road again. There is no doubt that Tatara has become the most depressing of the group, even including Sabar, and everyone has no good face for this guy. Tatara is also depressed by the damn "probability" mistakes of Life Magic that he used at the crucial moment.

    Shaar is directly annoyed that Mage is a waste.

    Although Dora has already proposed the life of Curl Spell left by Hillbilly "Hill Finkin" is not complete, this Life Magic has flaws that are difficult to overcome, but not Tatara's own wishes.

    Without the chasing of the lizard group, and without the leadership of Zakou native, Shaar took Sabar Tatara and the remaining three Mercenary, six people formed the final team.

    Fortunately, Azu had already told Shaar about the road map, and as a hunter hillbilly from the mountains, with the guidance of the road map provided by Azu, this huge mountain forest could not help Shaar.

    They first went all the way back to the stream, and then walked north along the stream to the north. This process lasted for about four days before finally reaching the source of the stream.

    Here is a lake in the forest, surrounded by lush forests and thick leaves on the lake, indicating that there is very little biological activity here.

    Shaar forbids everyone from leaving the team to act alone. This lake gives him a feeling of not being good. And the road map left by Azu marked the lake, but on the very scribbled picture of the painting, a big "x" was made at the location of the lake.

    Obviously, this lake is not a good place on the Zakou native road map.

    The land on the lake is very soft. When you walk on it, every foot will be deeply immersed in the mud.

    "Do not stop, leave here immediately."Shaar frowned at the calm lake, the lake was obviously very clear, and there was no dangerous trace around it, but the sense of uneasiness in Shaar's heart could never be erased.

    No one had any disagreement with Shaar's order. After simply adding some water, they hurriedly left the lake. All the way to the east, but after less than half an hour, I found a mountain in front.

    This wide gap made everyone forget the intention to jump from the top: the width of the front, even the best Shaar in the team did not have the ability to jump over.

    This mountain is like an ancient God. It is a crack seen by the axe on the earth. Standing on the side of the mountain, looking down, you can’t see the bottom, but it’s faint as if you see a black mist floating below. Deeply, Shaar seemed to stay for a while, staring at the mist and out of the air.

    "You…Did you hear anything? ”Shaar suddenly turned to look at Sabar.

    Sabar, who is unpacking the water bag, shook his head: "No, what did you hear?"

    "Maybe something like a mouse."Shaar thought for a moment, looked around, this mountain is very long, and the left and right sides are all boundless. If you want to go around, I just don't know how many roads to go.

    "Or, we cut some trees and vines to make a rope, and then find a way to climb to the other side."Sabar looked at Shaar and smiled bitterly: "I suspect this damn mountain, I am afraid there are dozens of miles long. If we go around, we have to go a lot."

    Shaar approved the idea, a few mercenary immediately with an axe in the surrounding felling tree vines, this mountain forest tree is extremely stout, the above clinging to those vines are at least some arm so thick, each one is very tough, even if it is a strong man holding a sharp axe, All have to cut 35 of their efforts to cut one off.

    What is even more bizarre is that after these trees and vines are cut off, the broken incisions are like human limbs, which will flow out a very large amount of mucus, which is like bloody, these liquids are thick and pungent. The strange smell. After getting on your hands, it will quickly cause itching.

    The width of the mountain is at least 30 meters. When several people are busy until dark, they finally collect enough vines. Shaar uses a few ropes to tie the tree vines to a short spear. The other one was tied directly to the trunk of a large tree near the foothills.

    The greatest strength of the Shaar, grab tied to the tree vine short Spear, back a little, and then slammed a few steps, with the power of running, severely will be short spear through the mountain stream opposite, finally, poof, short spear hard into a big tree opposite the mountain stream, stuck in the trunk, Shaar pull twice, After determining that it was firmly secured, look at the people around you: "I'll climb over and then figure it out." ”

    Please wait

    Tatara suddenly stopped Shaar, and in the eyes of others, Tatara raised another tree vine on the ground and walked to Shaar's side, a bit timid: "Master, tied a tree vine on your body. Well, if there is any accident, there is also a guarantee."

    Shaar glanced at Tatara, and the Mage was overwhelmed by him all the way, and it was obviously a bit cringing at the moment. Shaar sighed and whispered, "Thank you."

    A tree vine was tied to the waist, and Sabar and others grabbed the other one. Shaar began his first attempt.

    After all, he was born in the mountains. This kind of thing walking through the wooden bridge in the mountains is not strange to hillbilly. If he needs it, he can even be smarter than the apes.

    The tree vines lie on the top of the mountain, just like a rope bridge. When Shaar walks on it, although the weight of the tree vines is quickly recessed, and it is swaying, some swaying, but hillbilly But it was stable, and soon he went to the middle of the mountain. Sabar and others behind him had already held their breath, but Shaar’s skill was so sharp that everyone could not help but relaxed, and was about to make a cheer or two…

    Suddenly, at this time, on the left side of the mountain, suddenly there was a gust of wind from the upstream of the huge cliff!

    This squally wind came without warning, as if suddenly it was so swept away! The tree-and-vine bridge where Shaar is located is suddenly thrown up by the wind, and the rippling is like a swing!

    Shaar stood on the top and yelled, and the body turned from above! At the same time, Sabar and others exclaimed at the same time. When the hillbilly was rolling over, the two feet slammed the hooks and hooked the tree vines with the arch of the feet. This did not finally fall, but the wind was as if it was The smashing is fierce! The tree vines were blown back and forth, and Shaar was in the wind, his head was facing down, and the eyes that were blown by the wind could not be opened. Only the dead feet were hooked on the ropes, screaming powerful. Strength and flexibility, barely bent over, hands clinging to the tree vines.

    Even so, he seems to be a leaf in the wind, blown up and down…

    Finally, hey! !

    The sound of this crisp, broken sound is clearly heard by everyone! Probably the wind was too violent, the width of the tree vines was too big, and finally broke in the middle, and Shaar, who hugged the tree vines, did not even shout out, shouted directly, and the volley fell into the mountains. Among them!

    "Hell!!"

    Sabar screamed, and several Mercenary hugged the end of the tree vine that connected Shaar. It quickly came to the strength of the pull. Sabar and others hugged and felt the power of Shaar's body falling. After that, I tried to pull back. Sabar kept screaming: "Shaar! Shaar! You are not dead! ! ”

    He shouted five or six, and finally got Shaar's answer. The sound of hillbilly came from the foothills: "Father is not dead!" He damn it, hit the mountain wall, and a branch almost broke into Father's eyes! ”

    Sabar smiled, and the guy sighed with a sigh of relief: "You don't move, we pull you up!"He turned back and said: "Brothers, work hard!"

    The tree vine was dragged tightly on the edge of the cliff of the foothills, and the sound of "squeaky" sounded in the friction. After pulling a few meters, he suddenly heard Shaar yelling underneath: "Stop! Stop now! stop

    "What happened?"Sabar immediately hugged the tree vines.

    to put Put me down! ! ”In the foothills, Shaar's voice carries a surprise: "He damn it! There seems to be something below! Too far, Father can't see it! Put me down! He damn it! Slow down, don't let it go too fast! ! ”

※※※※※※

    Hillbilly felt that her breathing was not smooth. When she fell from above, fortunately, the tree vines tied around her waist pulled herself, but the strength of the fall was all on Shaar’s waist, and it hurt him. The past. The tree vine clenched his waist tightly, and he immediately felt some difficulty breathing, and just because of the strength of the falling, he was pulled by the tree vine, and the body hit the mountain wall, a convex on the mountain wall. The branches of the tree almost directly poked on his forehead! !

    Even if Shaar's body has been strengthened by the dragon's blood, it can be so fierce, and it hurts him to have some eyes blackened, and…If the part is only afraid of two fingers wide, it will poke directly into the eyes of hillbilly!

    He still keeps his head down, and the blood from his body rushes to his head, giving him a feeling of dizziness. If this posture is too long, he even suspects that he will have blood in his brain.

    Fortunately, he grabbed the mountain wall, and Shaar barely hugged a raised stone and adjusted his posture, which made him slightly relieved.

    At this moment his body had fallen into the black mist of the mountain, and looked up, a misty, invisible. And in this fog, Shaar only feels the air that breathes into his nose is damp and contains an unbearable moldy and rancid taste. This smell reminds him of Goblin's bath water!

    Just as I heard Saar's howl and prepared to climb up, it was very accidental that Shaar looked down very subconsciously.

    Just look at it!

    The fog below seems to be a lot thinner. Shaar hangs on the mountain wall. It seems that the bottom of the mountain can be seen faintly. Although it is still a little fuzzy, some strange contours make Shaar curious.

    After he stopped the Sabar, he felt the above listen to his words, at 1.1 o ' clock after the drop of the tree Vine, Shaar gasped, forced to pull the tree vine on the waist slightly loosened a little, first let oneself breathe smoothly some, then in the arms touch, felt a branch to come, Then wrapped it in a prepared group of sticky ointment soaked with some special plant powder, and quickly took out the fire clip in his arms and hit it twice.

    With a bang, a flame ignited, and soon the ointment on the fabric was ignited. This kind of fire was learned from Zakou native, and the fruit of a plant grown in the mountains was smashed with the good things that made the fire.

    Carrying this little torch, Shaar shook his hand, then took a deep breath and threw it at the bottom of his own.

    That fire through the black mist, wobbly, and finally landed at the bottom, let Shaar relieved that the bottom is really a dry place, not a river, that torch from their position is about 10 meters high, and through the fog of that cloud, although still very vague, But clarity is enough to make the visually sharp hillbilly see a lot of things.

    After seeing it, the eyes of Hillbilly immediately smashed round! !

※※※※※※※

    to put to put Keep on! ! ”Shaar shouted, then licking the tree vines little by little, carefully climbing down the mountain wall.

    But unfortunately, when he called the tenth "release", Sabar's squeak came from the top of his head, because the distance was too far, or because of the strange black mist, Sabar's voice sounded a bit fuzzy. clear.

    "Tree vine…At the end…LengthNot enough

    Shaar sighed. At this moment, he was five or six meters away from the bottom of the mountain. He hesitated and shouted: "You are waiting for me!" Don't pull the rope! When do I call you to pull, pull again! ”

    After receiving the response from Sabar above, Shaar took a deep breath and quickly untied the vines at the waist.

    It is only five or six meters above the ground. This height is unbearable for Shaar. He quickly found a few places on the mountain wall to find a place to borrow, and finally jumped gently and skillfully.

    The bottom of the mountain is very narrow. It can be said that if the whole mountain is cross-cut, its shape should be "v" shaped.

    The bottom of the valley is only about three or four meters wide. After Shaar landed, I immediately felt the hard land under my feet! With a bang, the floor of his own foot was a little hairy.

    He immediately picked up the torch that had been thrown by himself on the ground. The torch burned less than a third. Shaar held it in his hand and shook…

    There is almost no vegetation at the bottom of the mountain, and there are not even any thorns and branches! Only when Shaar picked up the torch, he alerted a fat mouse, which writhed the fat body and quickly ran away.

    Shaar stood at the bottom of the valley, looked at the front, and turned around and looked at the back. Under the fire of the torch, Shaar's face was very strange. He took a deep breath, as if he was talking to himself.

    "Oh my god! See what I found! ! ”

    The ground is full of broken armor weapons, and some decaying bones, these things are everywhere…

    How to describe such a place?

    There is no doubt that this is a relic of an ancient battlefield!

    At the bottom of this narrow mountain, if you stand inside, you will feel like a narrow "channel."

    Now Shaar is standing in the middle of this passage, and what he can see before and after is some broken and decaying, and the weird style of weapon, armor, and…SKELETON

    Unlike the obvious Byzantine style armor, these residual things are more peculiar in style.

    The world's most recognized country in the world of craftsmanship is Byzantine, and Byzantine's Hillock Armor is a very high-grade armor. Shaar has a very good set of Hillock Armor.

    However, standing here, Shaar only looked at it and immediately determined something that made him feel amazed!

    This ruins, this ancient relic that does not know how many years have passed! The remaining things that you see, nothing else, just armor, it seems to be much higher than the Hillock Armor of the Byzantine Empire!

    Yes, no doubt, advanced, and leading! !

    The closest thing to Shaar is a truss stand by the side of the mountain wall. The owner of the cockroach sat on the ground before he died. His back was tightly attached to the mountain wall and his head drooped. When Shaar walked over, the other's helmet climbed a mouse that was about the size of a Shaar fist, and slammed away.

    Shaar quickly grabbed the helmet…

    This is a ball-like helmet, unlike the General helmet that the Byzantine people usually use, and the horn-horned helmet used by the Odin. The round shape makes it look ridiculous.

    But what makes Shaar feel amazing is…This round helmet is actually a complete whole!

    When I was in my hand, I clearly felt its integration!

    It is not nailed with a piece of iron, but it is like a completely intact iron helmet!

    Although Shaar is not very good at the blacksmith process, he understands that such a complete round helmet without any seams, at least the blacksmiths of Byzantine he knows, have not done the job!

    Today's helmet styles are usually made of some fine steel or iron pieces that have been tempered, and then pieced together. The seams are embossed with raised steel nails, which look sturdy and firm. Degree.

    But this helmet is like…It is to use a grinding tool and then directly inject it with molten iron. After cooling, it is a complete…Iron bowl! !

    Shaar understands that making helmets is definitely not that easy! To make a helmet like the iron bowl, it is not as simple as grinding directly with molten iron!

    Good metal materials need to be beaten to remove impurities! If you just do it directly, maybe you can make an iron bowl, but the material is bound to be miscellaneous!

    More importantly, the helmet was rounded without any distortion, that is, it was definitely not hammered by a blacksmith with a hammer.

    Throwing this round helmet in his hand, Shaar leaned over and looked at the armor of the dead guy who hadn't known for many years.

    There is no doubt that the style of this armor is completely different from any armor that Shaar now knows.

    First of all, it does not use something like "breast armor", but instead uses a nearly complete, ancient style similar to "plate armor." It stands to reason that such a plate armor has a strong defense against blunt attack, but it lacks the necessary role in the face of sharp weapon attacks such as bow and arrow.

    But this pair of "plate", but most of the use of the convex spherical shape, very high to make up for this.

    Shaar saw this sly hand next to an iron stick about ten centimeters. He picked it up and it was already full of green embroidery. Shaar took it in his hand.

    Perhaps this thing is more like an iron bar, with two ends thick and thin, and there is something like a hand guard in the middle.

    Shaar feels that the weight of this thing is much heavier than it seems. There was a small trigger on the handle. Shaar tried to press it twice. It was probably too old. What was inside was rusted. After Shaar pressed twice, nothing happened. He tried. This knocked twice on the stone, and immediately shook a piece of fine iron filings from the inside.

    When he pressed the trigger again…

    Hey! !

    After two dull sounds, I saw the two ends of the iron bar, and suddenly I immediately supported a round piece of iron!

    It’s like…It's like a folding fan! !

    The thick piece of iron is caused by a stack of pieces. Once it is opened, the hand becomes a complete and delicate round hand shield!

    Yes, this is a shield that can shrink! !

    Such a process…I am afraid that even Dwarf may not be able to make it! !

    Shaar was stunned. He looked at the little shield in his hand. He made a slap in the face for a while, and then he did not hesitate. Shaar took an empty bag from his arms and threw it into it.

    Looking at it, the channel at the bottom of the mountain is full of shackles.

    These guys, don't know when they died, the armor they wear, the weapons they use, are all Shaar never seen.

    What makes Shaar even more amazed is that these things, they fall down on the ground, some lie on the ground and die, but they obviously have no scars!

    That is to say, the remaining things, their skeletons tend to be complete, and do not see any fatal injuries that die under the attack of weapon.

    What surprised Shaar was that he quickly overturned speculation that this is an "old battlefield"!

    Because it is very simple, all the dead, they wear and use the weapon, seems to be the same style! In other words, the dead here, they should all belong to a group!

    No one looks like the body left by the enemy.

    In the foothills, look at it and look at it roughly. This kind of body is afraid of having thousands of things, and there may be more in the distance.

    So many bodies…If they are an army, from the equipment of these guys, this is obviously an "elegant"! But so many elite, but silently all died in this place, died in this dark and invisible valley.

    The death is so unknown.

    "These guys don't seem to be killed."Shaar came all the way. He started collecting these strange armor weapons, but he soon gave up because there were so many things. "These guys, look at these bodies, these cockroaches, when they die, it seems like Very calm…Is it suicide? ”

    Shaar said that he couldn’t help but shake his head: "I can't…This place, the number of these guys is at least a few thousand! There may be more in the distance! An elite army so equipped, even in the most dangerous moment, will not choose to commit suicide! ”

    What makes Shaar even more surprised is that he walked a hundred meters and saw so many bodies, and the weapons used by these guys…Or, the weapon that Shaar picked up, he was very surprised.

    The shape of the knife and the sword seems to be not much different from today. The only difference is that the size of these weapons is not too big, short knife and short sword.

    But these fighting weapons are not equipped with every corpse.

    What Shaar saw was more of those who died in the valley, but they were surrounded by something like an iron pipe.

    Iron pipe, of course, is Shaar's name.

    In fact, these things are about the length of a short spear, about the size of an arm, hollowed out inside, rounded inside, and the other one made a bracket, and Shaar picked up one and tried a few times in his hand. , I found the trick.

    FANG FU.This is a remote attack weapon like "handcuffs".

    However, its shape is much larger than the handcuffs, but Shaar does not see any arrowheads.

    "Obviously, this is a remote weapon like a smashing arrow. It is a launching device, but what is the launch?"Shaar frowned.

    Another thing that surprised him was that all of these "iron pipes" and the pipes inside were polished to a very rounded shape without any flaws.

    Finally, I went forward a little longer, and a big guy in front of me answered Shaar’s question.

    A huge metal shelf rested in the middle of the mountain pass, and two metal wheels, one of which had rotted, made the things on the side. And the top is a large round iron pipe – perhaps not iron.

    The shape of this thing made Shaar understand at a glance: "This seems like a cannon."

    This is the thing of the cannon, the Byzantine Empire, the Atlantis, and Odin.

    But the guns of this world are not weapons, but more are used as a kind of etiquette. Its only role is to launch fireworks.

    Shaar saw the salute in Imperial Capital. It was like this. There were wheels underneath. Every time it was launched, the person next to it could stuff it with some special materials and then ignite it…With a bang, you can spur the colorful flowers that will cheer the children.

    But this thing in front of you is obviously not something ceremonial!

    The base of the gun was a square thing, and Shaar watched it carefully. After knocking out most of the rust with fire pitchfork, he saw some fuzzy patterns remaining on it.

    LikeSeems to be……"Shaar is hesitant.

    "No doubt, these are the patterns of the magic array."

    In his mind, Dora sighed: "Look at this barrel, there is also this pattern, and it must be a spiral pattern."

    Shaar immediately examined some of them, and it was as Dora said.

    "Kid, congratulations, what you found, is the treasure that has been completely annihilated in the world! This thing, if you can carry it out completely, then any big Mage will be willing to exchange all the property with you! ”

    The words that Dora said, the content is exciting, but her tone is obviously with some deep ridicule.

    "What the hell is this?"Shaar frowned.

    Very simpleHave you heard of … magic canon? ”Dora smiled and immediately said: "Of course you have never heard of it, kid, because of your hillbilly, even the history of the demon race is unknown! In fact, many truths are unknown to ordinary people. These things are only in the hands of the top class of your human world! For example, those big Mage, they have the opportunity to see the mysterious books that have been passed down from ancient times. ”

    Shaar snorted and knocked on the iron shelf that had rotted most of his side: "This thing…Very powerful? ”

    FormidableDora snorted: "In the legend, magic canon is a magic weapon, it is the best weapon that combines mechanical and magic! Powerful! and alsoLegend has it that the most powerful magic canon can kill a dragon directly with a single shot! ”

    a shot…One head…Dragon

    Shaar opened his mouth, and Hillbilly immediately opened his eyes and looked at the thing carefully. Then he shook his head and sighed: "Unfortunately…It is a rotten one. ”

    Then he suddenly became a cleverman: "So…Those iron pipes, are they magic canon? I see, those iron pipes are a bit like the miniature version of the magic canon you said. ”

    "Congratulations, you guessed it."Dora's voice is very gloomy: "Those things, if I remember correctly, in the ancient books, they are called 'magic fire'. These things are weapons using magic power…You can understand that these are the bows with magic power. Legend has it that a single launch of the magic fire can easily kill an elite warrior! ”

    Magic canon ……Magic fire…

    Shaar looked around: "Easily kill the dragon's magic canon…Easily kill a warrior's magic fire…damn it, where did these dead things come from? These guys are so powerful, how…Are you dead in this ghost place? ”

    Dora was sighing, her laughter screaming in Shaar's mind, with disdain and mockery in her laughter: "Human! Proud human! You have actually guessed a little, but your subconscious is not willing to think about that possibility, right? ”

    Shaar's face suddenly changed!

    He ran through a few hurriedly, picked them up one by one and observed them carefully before throwing them away.

    These "things", their body shape, are obviously some sort of advanced creature race that walks upright!

    However, from a physical point of view, they are much shorter than humans, and they are similar in size to the Dwarf, but they are not as majestic as the Dwarf, and they are even thinner.

    Not Human They are much shorter than humans! Not Elf, although I have never seen Elf, I also heard that Elf is similar in shape to humans. ”Shaar breathes a little short: "Not Dwarf! Dwarf is more magnificent than these things…Are they…"

    They areShaar took a deep breath and his face suddenly became very exciting: "They, they are…"

    "Goblin!"Dora's voice with a malicious smile: "Congratulations, you found the ancient times, the real, the world's dominant race, the real 'Goblin'!!"

……Goblin! ! !

    See such a group of "old", "real" Goblin! Watching these Shaars should be familiar "things", wearing more sophisticated and advanced armor than humans, using a stronger and more powerful weapon than humans! Undoubtedly, these dead Goblin, if they are really an "army", then eliminate the individual combat strength of the fighters, just from their equipment, it is enough to overwhelm the elite of any Byzantine Army team known to Shaar. degree!

    What does it feel like?

    As you can imagine, a group of people who only know how to scream "ou ke ou ke", do not take a bath all the year round, for a small bag of food will be ruthless and ignorant monkeys, suddenly…Suddenly armed, in the form of the most sophisticated and rigorous group of biological races – the form of the army, appears in front of your eyes, and looks very powerful…

    "I know what you are thinking, kid."Dora's voice became very serious: "These are real Goblin! Really advanced wisdom creature! It's different from what you've encountered that only screams 'ou ke'! These guys in the ancient times are the masters over all other creatures! ”

    After a pause, Dora whispered: "According to the books I have seen, I have never heard of anyone who has found any complete Goblin civilization! Look around, maybe you can find something else!
