"Who do you think the owner of this guy will be?"
I wondered who among the Four Demon Kings would have brought this ugly monster here, and sealed it in a malicious way, creating such an unexpected trap.
If the little ghost and I hadn't been here once, the little fox, although very curious but not a noisy one, would most likely have woken up the frozen monster hiding in the dark corner, and got hit by the four devils. A plan within a plan.
"I guess it's Andariel." The little fox got a little closer to the monster, and immediately wrinkled its nose, and couldn't help but fan it with its small hands. It really couldn't stand the unpleasant smell emitted by this ugly monster.
"The stench emanating from this guy is a poisonous breath. Fortunately, it was frozen by Duriel's power of eternal freezing. The poisonous gas did not spread and was not very powerful. Otherwise, I would have been poisoned just by getting close to it."
"Is it highly poisonous? It does look like Andariel's men."
I nodded and agreed with the little fox's guess. In fact, there was another reason that everyone knew but didn't mention. That is, among the four demon kings and even the seven giants including the three demon gods, Andariel was the most capable. Tossing, acting in an arrogant and domineering style, taking pleasure in pathological torture and killing.
Although she is not the strongest and most dangerous among the Seven Giants, it is she who has caused the most damage to the Dark Continent in the past thousand years. Instead, it is the Three Demon Gods. Since the tragedy of Tarasha a thousand years ago, she has been showing He was very calm, as if he could go and get the big red flower, and he didn't know what conspiracy was brewing.
Du Riel has been staying at home since the invasion war thousands of years ago. He became the first otaku demon king in the hell world. Occasionally, his men can be seen mixing with Andariel's men to cause chaos. This allows us to be sure that the relationship between Duriel and Andariel should be good. Only among the Horadric tribe During the millennium siege. Duriel only showed his presence a few times.
As for Belial, her intelligence is strange and unpredictable. No one knows what she is thinking, and no one knows whether she has a shadow behind several major events in the past thousands of years. No one can explain why she is active or not. What is certain is that the last time I was trapped in the hell world, it must be its trick.
As for Azmodan... Well, he is a demon king that is difficult to evaluate. His presence in the Dark Continent is weaker than Duriel. He did not appear in the team that invaded the Dark Continent. No one knows much about his intelligence. , according to the few words sent back from the hell world, it seems to be a master who is very capable of tossing around on his own territory. And... probably a fool.
A few years ago, we heard that it had come to the Dark Continent, and everyone was nervous for a while. After all, it was said that this demon king had super strong combat power, comparable to the three demon gods, but... But nothing happened in the end. There were rumors among adventurers. I have seen its clone projection, which is a terrifying Abyss Demon King holding a giant sword and wearing heavy armor. I don’t know whether it is true or false.
Needless to say, the Three Demon Gods seemed to have been infected by Duriel's homely nature. In recent years, I have been lying around and rarely made any moves. It feels like the network delay is as high as 1000, and my teammates are turning into teammates.
Based on the current situation information of the above seven giants. Combined with the properties of the poisonous breath, it is not difficult to guess that this ugly monster is probably the watchdog sent by Andariel, who is the most troublesome. It may be that I alarmed Duriel when I came last time. The four demon kings combined After some discussion, it won’t work. It was too naive before, not like the style of our Four Demon Kings at all. We need to take more stringent preventive measures. We must not let the Holy See Mountain fall into the hands of anyone, including the Three Demon Gods.
So Duriel waved his hand and sent thousands of miles of ice, and Andariel secretly set up such a trap in the central hall. He wanted to take away the Holy See Mountain. No one can circumvent this central hall. Once it is taken away, If the watchdog wakes up, it will immediately detect an intruder.
As for Belial, or the Three Demon Gods, we have no time to think about whether these scheming people are playing tricks here, and it is impossible to guess. Let me not say it, even a little fox, compared to these people who have lived for countless years, The Demon King and the Demon God are not qualified in terms of scheming. Only existences like Akala and Yalandlan can still play a few Gwent cards with the Seven Giants.
So, just don’t make things too complicated. If we discover the conspiracy, we should try our best to avoid it. If we can’t discover it, we will run away at worst. With the power of the Seven Giants, there should be no way to prevent the little fox from returning without restriction. It probably has to be the six-winged space realm that Xianyujian mentioned before.
After thinking about this, we suddenly felt enlightened, and we were much less worried about the monster in front of us. We just had to be gentle and prevent you from waking up.
If it weren't for the quality and quantity gap between the Holy Moon Wolf's eternal freezing power and Duriel, I would even want to add some material to the thin ice layer on this giant to make it more stable. Think about it or give up.
Afterwards, we put aside this monster and began to carefully and quietly check the damage status of the magic circle in the entire central hall.
The Holy See Mountain has its own self-healing function, just like a person can heal himself after being injured. This is the most powerful ability of the Holy See Mountain, and it is the basis for it to be called the trump card in the hands of the first-generation saint.
This ability has helped us a lot. As long as we repair the central magic circle and allow the Holy See Mountain to start operating at a minimum, everything will gradually get better. Of course, this is based on the situation where no one is aware of it. In fact, There are still many things to consider, but those are things for later. We must first confirm whether repairing the central system is within our capabilities.
The information collected by the Alliance on the Holy See Mountain is not perfect. The thick magic circle book Akara gave us probably only describes less than one-third of the entire magic circle system spread across the Holy See Mountain. The invasion of the Hell Clan has no impact on the Holy See Mountain. The disasters caused by humans are so great that many things have been permanently lost.
Fortunately, the data on the most important central magic circle system is relatively sufficient, probably more than two-thirds. According to our estimates, the damage to the magic circle on the Holy See Mountain is between one-fifth and one-tenth. In the meantime, it can be said that it was once the treasure of the first-generation saint. To be able to hurt it like this has shown how fierce and tragic the tragically failed counterattack was. There may even be strong men like the Four Demon Kings and Three Demon Gods joining in. fighting.
According to this ratio. The possibility of us repairing it is still quite high, but we are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, so checking the damage is very important, after putting aside the worries of giant monsters. We immediately got into the busy work, almost to the point of forgetting all sleep and food.
It took more than three days, and we finally had a preliminary estimate. There was good news and bad news. The good news was that the damaged parts were all within the scope of what we could repair. Since then, all factors that may have caused our mission to completely fail and have no possibility of success have been eliminated. This is definitely good news.
The bad news is that the damage is more serious than we thought, and it may take more time to repair it. However, as I said before, the most important thing we lack to complete this task is time, and Akara considered various factors at the beginning. In this case, we will prepare precious repair materials. The quantity is very sufficient, even if the damage is twice as serious, it will be enough, as long as we can be careful not to waste it casually.
"Okay, do you have anything else to say?" After leaving the central hall, we chose to settle in a clean room not far from the hall. According to Little Ghost, a senior Vatican expert, this should be the residence of the senior bishop. The most important thing is The best thing is that there was no fighting, everything is well preserved, comfortable sofa seats and big bed. There are also elegant bookshelves, desks, carpets, fireplaces, and all kinds of room equipment. We also found several sets of expensive tea sets, as well as seriously expired coffee beans and tea bricks. It seems that the Hell clan doesn't like to make tea. Come on, let's make this cup of hot tea and make coffee beans.
Ignoring my bad taste, the two enemies, the little ghost and the little fox, suddenly got into work mode. They took out the original magic circle book and indexed it to plan the route to repair the magic circle, pretending to work together without grudges. Made me think the world was ending.
Although I have memorized all the methods to repair the magic circle, I am not good at doing this kind of thing, so I happily let the two of them do their work.
What? What do you think I'm good at? It's really rude. You are so familiar with me and you still ask such a question. You should know better. You must be very clear, right? There is absolutely no need for me to say it out loud! Bar!
First of all, we need to roughly draw the entire central magic circle system. Of course, we don’t need to draw every magic circle. The amount of work would be too large, and we may not be able to complete the preparations in a year. We must understand the situation of the entire central magic circle. , then understand the primary and secondary relationship of those damaged magic arrays, and then decide the repair order. The magic arrays are connected like gears. If you get the repair order wrong, you will get a "BOOM~~~" sound.
This is the most arduous task. To be honest, it is more difficult than repairing the magic circle itself. We have...cough, okay, okay, I understand. It should have taken the little ghost and the little fox a full month to complete it. On a piece of tough paper that took up half the room, the entire restoration project was drawn with both hands. This was just the central system. I really don’t know how much IQ the original saint used to design such a complex thing.
Things after that were relatively simple. It was nothing more than allocating work, seeing which part of the damaged magic circle was under your control, and then repairing it. As for the means, they had already been taught in Tia's three months of cramming. Once you learn it, you don’t need to go into details one by one.
The repair process was boring and boring. It was nothing more than matching the things in my mind with the reality one by one, and then repairing the entire magic circle according to the procedures I went through during practice. I had no foundation in magic, so I could only follow the steps step by step, and I couldn't do any tricks. , the body works repeatedly like a programmed robot. The actual repair of the magic circle is different from practice. With practice, I can draw a simple magic circle in just a few hours, but the actual repair process Various situations must be taken into consideration, so even the simplest magic circle cannot be repaired in one day.
After bumping into each other, we finally got through the first few days. Thanks to Tia's careful teaching and the threat of the ugly monster in the dark corner of the hall, we used an attitude that was ten times more cautious and slow than in practice. There was no failure. It should be said that because of the existence of that monster, we cannot fail. Once we wake it up, it's over.
Under such extreme circumstances, it was the first time that I felt that the Holy Moon Sage Wolf could still achieve this level. I felt that when I repaired the magic circle, I was completely different from my usual silly and cute self. I definitely performed more than once. Twice as much. As for the little fox and the little ghost, let alone the two of them. These two beauties of heaven are the ones who are truly qualified to say, "As long as you put your mind to it, you will definitely be able to do it." So, There is a thin line between being a genius and being a middle-class kid.
Although it went very smoothly, we only tried to select some simpler magic circle repairs first after determining the order of repairs. This is called practicing, so it actually takes a lot of time. If we can continue If you keep it up, it will take about... um, two or three months to repair it, okay?
Repairing the magic circle is a high-precision job that consumes a lot of mental energy and concentration. The little fox who is not very good at this cannot persist for too long. Although the little ghost and I can do it, there is no need to be too reluctant to maintain full strength. Homework is very important in this state, especially for me. I am not a skillful and careful person to begin with. Although the Holy Moon Wolf has a bonus in this regard, alas, it is not good. I feel that it is becoming more and more feminine.
In my spare time, I will sneak out of the Holy See Mountain to see the scenery and absorb the power of eternal freezing. I am very interested in the power of eternal freezing in Duriel. If the copycat version of Holy Moon Xianlang is frozen The power can also reach the same intensity as the original version... Just thinking about it makes me very motivated, allowing me to spend an hour or two happily every day. I can also relax and restore some mental strength, killing three birds with one stone.
Finally, there is the intermission entertainment that I am looking forward to. I can only say a proverb that everyone is familiar with. One monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink. The little ghost is walking through our time. When the hell world was looking for the Holy See Mountain, she slept almost all the time. I guess she wanted to sleep all the rest in one breath. Look at her now, she is lively and cute every day. Even after the repair work is finished, she can still torment me. And the little fox, if I don’t talk anymore, I will shed tears if I talk too much.
In this way, time passed bit by bit. In the repeated and concentrated work every day, the three of them seemed to have forgotten everything in the outside world and lived a peaceful life isolated from the world. Only the task was left in their eyes, and everything went smoothly. horrible……
. . . (To be continued.)
PS: The new monster that appeared is the fleshy and heartthrob Gum. Has no one noticed it? Finally, thank you [I’m Too Fat] Jiang for the 10,000 reward.
