For Thousands of Years, My Weakest Brother Has Become a Demon King

   Chapter 222 Green Guardian

   "But how is that possible..."

   "Shh, don't talk yet."

  William interrupted Ebony's words, then raised his hand and touched the door made of twisted tree roots, and his fingers swam along the pale green life rune inscribed on it.

   "This thing looks a bit like the [Blue Guard] enchantment magic that has been transformed by magic... Who arranged it?"

   Feeling the life magic surging at his fingertips, William asked softly.

   "It was arranged by my priests together."

   Ur replied in a low voice, his face looked a little anxious.

   "The priests of Jade Province actually use modern magic under the star law system? I thought you would resist this very much."

  William asked slightly surprised.

  【Green Guard】is a sixth-order spell of the life system. According to the evaluation system of the law of stars, only master-level magic casters can use large-scale enchantment magic. The effect of this spell is to rely on the surrounding life breath to build a shield to protect the creatures within the range. The stronger the nearby life breath, the stronger the shield.

This spell is engraved at the root of the World Tree. Relying on what may be the strongest breath of life in the entire Vic Continent, the enchantment strength of this sixth-order spell is probably stronger than some eighth-order, or even ninth-order legendary spells. To the threshold of God's Domain Magic.

"Furalo defeated us by relying on human magic. In order to fight against her, no matter what kind of power we have, we have to try it... Besides, the prototype of the spell of [Green Guard] is originally from the lost forest elves, Ritual magic used for sacrifice. If we trace the origin, we are the orthodox heirs of this series of spells. It is the human mage who plagiarized and destroyed our past heritage. And we also made an oath to only use the magic that originated in Raven. Wood's magic."

   Ebony replied immediately.

   "No wonder there are so many redundant prayer runes and symbolic totems..."

   Hearing this explanation, William said with a subtle expression.

Modern magic system - even the modern magic system under the constraints of the laws of the stars is a systematic, logical and highly abstract integration of classical witchcraft, ritual magic, and power, coupled with the unique understanding of the magic caster. product formed.

  Simply put, classical witchcraft and ritual magic look like a huge difference engine, complicated and primitive, but you can see the specific process of each operation step. The modern magic system is like a highly integrated integrated circuit. Although it looks simple and clean, most of it is actually packaged in a black box.

   And the spell engraving form of this 【Green Guard】in front of you, what should I say...

  William looked at this technique, and his frown almost squeezed out his brows.

   This technique is like using a difference engine controlled by an integrated circuit to perform operations, or to change the example of the past world, it is like building a virtual machine with redstone circuits in "Minecraft".

   At least this attitude is commendable.

   And to be honest, the final output of magic depends on the scale of magic that can be leveraged. And this wonderful technique in front of me, relying on the support of the World Tree, actually works very well...

  Modern magic is more personal. Although its conversion efficiency is much higher than that of classical magic, it still uses personal magic. This makes the scale of modern magic often have a limit that mortals can achieve.

In contrast, relying on the collective support of beliefs and myths, the classical magic that can directly act on the underlying laws of the world can be powerful, although the exercise is extremely rigid, and there is almost no possibility of improvement and optimization, but a large-scale magic The phenomena that rituals can cause are often at the level of natural disasters.

   To a certain extent, it is difficult to say which is the correct development direction of magic.

   "Those are our corrections based on traditional rituals."

   After hearing William's complaints, Ebony immediately said seriously.

   Understand, this logic is the same as "AK47 is Satan's sorcery, it is a naked heresy, but if a priest engrave a cross on AK, it is not a heresy".

   William nodded in understanding, and the expression on his face made Ebony inexplicably feel as if he was severely despised.

   However, William did not continue to struggle on this topic, but said directly:

   "I see... Then based on your superficial understanding of this spell, I need to remind you that in addition to creating a barrier, the [Emerald Guard] spell also comes with a very special effect."

   "What effect?"

   "This will be explained later, let's go first."

  William said, raised his hand and took out a jade-made white magic agent from the space rift that suddenly cracked aside.

   "Huh? Let's go in here, don't you explain it first?"

   The other party suddenly sold the guanzi, which made Ebony feel uncomfortable for a while, so he hurriedly asked.

   "You have to see the real situation clearly, and dry explanations won't feel real."

   William replied.

   Helpless, Ebony had to say:

   "Then... I'll open this spell first, please retreat there one after another..."

  【Green Protection】with the root system of the World Tree as the source of power, because of its huge magic power scale, it will cause a lot of magic power dissipation impact to the surrounding when it is turned on.

   But before he finished speaking, William, who was beside him, knocked the magic agent in his hand on the door.

   The emerald green life magic that overflowed on the gate was instantly absorbed by this white jade staff.

   At the same time, this technique, which took a long time and effort to build successfully by the group of priests under Ebony, became invalid in an instant.

   "It's too troublesome to unravel the spell, so let's do it first."

   After doing all this, William turned his head back as if nothing, looked at the stunned Ebony and said calmly.

   "You you...you gave this spell to..."

   Looking at the spell on the door again, he was sure that it had failed, and Wu Mu asked with a slight stammer.

  William waved the white jade magic intermediary emitting a pale green shimmer, and the gate made of twisted tree roots automatically retreated, revealing the scene behind the gate.

   The [Green Guard] barrier, which was strong enough to resist the bombardment of legendary spells, was instantly wiped out by the opponent's light knock. The scene that challenged Ebony's understanding of magic made him instantly stunned.

   "Ah, don't worry, I just used [Spell Reaver] to graft the source of the magic power of the spell. I didn't destroy the body of your enchantment magic spell - after all, it's useful to keep it later."

  William said, and inserted the magic medium called [Spell Reaver] into the ground.

   Wumu noticed that the trickle of life magic that had been transmitted from various roots to the gate enchantment technique was now grafted onto the white jade magic medium. And with the inflow of magic power, the faint light green light emitted from this magic medium began to slowly become deep at the speed of the naked eye.

  William didn't care about Ebony's reaction after he finished explaining, and walked in directly.

  Ebony took another deep look at the magic intermediary that William had inserted at the door, and then followed through with gritted teeth.

   The interior of this underground space formed by the entanglement of tree roots is not dark, because orange-red lamp sockets are floating everywhere in the air. The things that glow in the lamp socket are not candles or flames, nor are they expensive magic crystals, but insects with azure blue light from their tails. In Ravenwood, where flames are not allowed, this kind of insect that can emit light is Sen. The main source of light for elves at night or indoor lighting.

   "You just said that there are forty-three undead inside, so we walked in so generously, wouldn't we be attacked directly by them?"

   After entering the hall, Ebony who led the way asked.

  The forest elves have deep hatred and fear for the undead that will bring corruption.

   In response, William asked an inexplicable question:

   "Have those people you rescued attacked you for no reason in the past?"

   "Of course not. They are the fighters of the resistance army. I rescued them. How could they attack me?"

   Ebony replied subconsciously.

   "Then it won't work either now."

  William answered calmly, then added:

   "At least not until they discover their true nature."

"What's the meaning?"

  Ebony asked hesitantly, but before he finished asking, a loud voice interrupted his words.

"Master Ebony! You're back! Did you bring any supplies this time? The dried venison is almost finished, and the blue berries used to feed the lampworm are almost gone. If you come back a few days later, I'm afraid We're all going to be in the dark."

   A forest elf boy ran out of a sentry made of tree roots and rushed towards Ebony with a look of excitement.

   However, halfway through his run, he saw William behind Ebony and immediately stopped.

   "Lord Ebony, who is the human beside you? Is it the one you rescued from the Duke?"

  The forest elf boy looked at William with a wary expression and asked.

"what…"

   Ebony first glanced at the young man, then looked back at William next to him, and explained in a panic:

   "Ah...he is..."

   "I am the one that Ebony rescued from Flaro, who was sentenced to death by her for supporting the independence of the forest elves."

  William replied calmly, then turned to look at Ebony Road:

   "Is that so?"

   Ebony, who came to his senses, immediately followed William's words and said:

   "Yes, yes, that's it"

"Lord Duke actually kills human beings now? It's too scary... But it's really great to support the independence of forest elves as human beings. This gentleman, we will be like-minded comrades in arms in the future! Don't worry, I won't because of this. You are treated differently because of your human status!"

  The boy who looked very enthusiastic and familiar, said in surprise when he heard this. As he spoke, he patted his chest, as if to make a promise.

   But soon, his expression sank again.

   "But Big Brother Solo will definitely not welcome human beings to join our cause. He doesn't believe in any human being. You have to pay attention when that happens, please don't be angry. In fact, others are very good."

   "I'll talk to Solo."

  Ebony said so, then while the other party was excited, he turned to look at William and asked in a low voice:

   "That's what you said, there are forty-three undead in it? But it's as good as usual, did you just make a mistake?"

   At the very least, Ebony didn't feel the taint of corruption unique to the undead from this young man. As a listener to the teachings of the "big mother", he still has this vision.

  William did not speak, but looked at the young man in front of him with a smile, and said to Ebony with [Soul Voice] in his mind:

  + Remember what I just said, another special effect of [Green Guard]? +

   The voice that suddenly echoed in his mind made Ebony tremble.

  In the past, only the teachings of the "big mother" would echo in his mind so suddenly.

   After realizing that William was speaking, Ebony nodded lightly to show that he remembered.

Another effect of   +【Green Guard】is that it greatly delays the corruption of all corpses within the enchantment range+
