"Come on, let's go out and take a look. Our mountains are like those with pointed ears. They can come and leave whenever they want!" Snorri slapped the table and counted the days. It was time for the high elves to come.
As an immortal species, the population of high elves is limited compared to that of dwarves, not to mention an enclave far away from the Ulthuan ring, that is, the density of the elven air force is relatively high near Plateau Castle.
Master Kragg detained the high elf spies three days ago. After being captured, the two elves were unable to deliver the news in front of a demigod. Dawn Fortress will definitely have to spend some time to determine their whereabouts first, and then formulate a strategy for important people.
"Hey, this is really a creature that is both elegant and powerful!" Snorri led his guards and the heads of the fortress out of the gate. They saw a creature wrapped in flames hovering in the air. , a bird slightly larger than a giant eagle.
"Blazing Phoenix, pure king of the sky!"
"Legend has it that they were as numerous as the giant eagles during the Battle of Longbeard!"
"The ancestors killed such creatures like chickens!"
Snorri heard the whispers of his tribe. The Millennium War made the dwarves know as much about the Phoenix dwarves of Ulthuan as the elves did.
Like the dragon, they are the most iconic monsters of Asul. Especially as the powerful dragon gradually falls into sleep, more and more high elf strongmen choose to ride the phoenix into the battlefield.
There are many huge stone pillars around the Asuryan Temple. The wind of fire Akshay shuttles between the stone pillars, making those stone pillars always burning with magical flames. Aksha's mark didn't just remain on the stone pillar, over the years the phoenix that inhabited it had adapted to the fire spell and would use it on a whim.
On the back of the blazing phoenix stands a high elf wearing a robe, a helmet, and a staff. The phoenixes are more willing to be ridden by spellcasters because of their natural affinity with magic.
"Dwarf! Why did you detain the warriors of Asul? I want you to release them quickly, otherwise..." The elf mage saw the speaker coming out and started shouting loudly.
"Come down and talk!"
Before Snorri could respond, Master Kragg narrowed his eyes. The rune master was very unhappy looking at the arrogant phoenix. He didn't use any force, but the sound still spread throughout the valley under the influence of the runes.
"Who are you?" The high elf mage subconsciously held his staff in front of him. Prince Alfazel told him that the leader of this expeditionary force claimed to be a guy who killed demigods, and he also had a storm. , Don't underestimate the enemy's carelessness.
"I'm Krag!"
As the old dwarf spoke, he stretched out his right hand and clenched it into a fist. The power of the runes gathered together and stirred up the dust in the canyon. It also made his snow-white beard and hair spread out and tremble like a lion's mane.
"Uh-huh!"
"Qiang Qiang!"
The dwarves felt nothing, but the elf mage and his phoenix in mid-air screamed and fell rapidly as if being suppressed by a giant hand out of thin air. However, the Archmage was not without resistance. A piece of protective jewelry on his body exploded, giving him a chance to adjust.
"In the name of Kuishu, I ban your magic power!"
Gu Qi Phoenix vigorously vibrates its flame-wrapped wings to provide support for the mage on its back. They are creatures with the ability of "magic attunement" - filled with magic within their bodies, which in addition to soaring through the nine heavens with the help of magical winds, also allows the rider to more easily mobilize magic.
As the Archmage chanted quickly, a bright white finger of light formed on his staff, and then flew towards Master Krag.
Snorri identified this spell from its apparent characteristics - Arcane Disintegration, a term that has a place in the Guild's Book of Hatred. Its function is to make the subject lose the ability to cast spells for a period of time.
Greater Magic is the art of using all the eight winds of magic in harmony to create the most powerful spells known. Only elves and Slann can use high magic. When opening the Imperial Magic Academy, Teclis discovered that humans are inherently unable to master multiple winds of magic, so this spell system was not passed down in the old world.
High magic is much more complex than all other magics. Being able to master it explains why the mage who is in such a mess now has a place in the White Tower of Hos. He knew that Snorri was very clever and yet dared to go to the meeting alone. This was undoubtedly due to his belief in his own strength and his Phoenix companions.
However, no dwarf thought it was necessary to remind Master Kragg to be careful of this hasty attack. The oldest and most powerful dwarf in the world did not disappoint the younger generations. The secret method of cracking hit his armor and achieved nothing except causing a flurry of runes.
"Stubborn!"
Krag was enraged, and he no longer suppressed the mage with his bare hands. He stretched out his left hand to take the rune totem from the anvil guard behind him. After a vigorous wave, the phoenix seemed to have lost the ability to float and fell straight down.
"Boom!"
The blazing phoenix gathered on the ground like a kite with its string broken, causing a fire storm. In the explosion it exploded into a shower of burning debris.
"My subordinates are staying...Oh, we are in big trouble!"
Snorri realized something was wrong when he saw Krag grabbing the rune totem. The Hammer of the Harsh and his armor were both of legendary quality, but the rune totem was definitely worthy of being above legendary. This was the product of a demigod's life's work. It's strange that a mortal could withstand such an angry blow.
There is a difference between arresting and killing. Snorri could imagine Tyrion wearing the dragon armor of the first Phoenix King Aenarion, holding the flaming sword, and riding his horse Malhandel to settle the score. .
Then he couldn't beat the Eternal Queen's personal champion and sleeping warrior who cuckolded Fenuba, and the white dwarf came to the rescue. After a few back and forth, the second Longbeard War broke out, and the four gods of chaos were having fun in the subspace eating melon seeds.
"Qiang Qiang!"
Just as Snorri was thinking about the dark future, a weak phoenix roar broke through the smoke and came out. The burning fragments were quickly reorganized, the air flow rushed towards the center of the explosion, and then the phoenix was reborn in a blazing light!
Under the protection of the mount, the elf mage suffered no injuries except for his disgrace. The reborn phoenix was obviously a little weak. It stuck together with its owner and faced the dwarves who were watching eagerly.
"It's stopped now?" Master Kragg blew his beard, curled his lips, turned around and walked back to the fortress. It is only a trivial matter for him to handle such an elf mage. The secret of the Rune Guard is still waiting to be studied!
"I warned Alfazel that you won't be able to make irresponsible remarks when the Sons of the Mountains regain their homeland! But he doesn't seem to understand and insists on testing our bottom line!"
