"Devil's?" repeated the dwarf.
Uriel looked at Joey. He wanted to understand where the shadow behind the messenger came from. "The Demon Lord massacred the cave dwellers, but the Steel Rock Guards would not be completely wiped out. The Steel Rock Guards were controlled by sound waves, so the devil cursed this place to be silent forever."
This explanation is unexpected, but it makes sense. The mercenaries didn't know much, and the envoy didn't express his opinion, so they all acquiesced to the apprentice's statement.
"Then we want to lift the curse?" York suddenly realized and slapped his palm. "This will not only liberate those stone men, but also make the mystery of the valley disappear."
Painter nodded and made an expression of approval: "It's a good idea to solve the problem peacefully. The Steel Guards will be free again, and the travelers will not die because of it. What they have to worry about is the entire forest instead of a valley. .Perfect solution!”
For the first time, the apprentice felt that the dwarf's words were as unbearable as the ring.
"That will cause people to be cursed." He warned, "The same goes for Sky Realm."
"So we have to kill the stone monster." York spread his hands, "This is really out of necessity."
"The stone monster is as tall as Frostleaf Castle."
"Pretend I didn't say anything." The mercenary coughed.
"I'm not surprised every time you switch sides in a conversation of words," his companion teased. Then he turned to the apprentice: "What should we do? Can your mysterious item help?"
Uriel replied: "Yes, but I am not going to do that. That is not purification, but elimination."
"Then, please allow me to look forward to your plan, boy." The big-nosed dwarf waved his hand. "I hope that when I miss the cave people in the future, I won't take you with me."
"I promise you won't." This was what the messenger said. Joey didn't seem to need to blink, his eyes betrayed no emotion. He whispered to his apprentice: "Uriel, you can see further than we can."
I finally have your trust. Uriel couldn't help but sigh, but even I wasn't sure.
The second time, the messenger dug up tree roots and soil, exposing the cave dwellers' hand bones to the air. Uriel held the scroll of oath, his palms sweating.
However, the ground suddenly shook——
"Down below!" Uriel never imagined that there would be steel rock guards who could break Joey's magic. He glanced down blankly, and immediately realized that this was the only land where the curse existed without solid ice.
York stabbed down with his sword, but it was aimed at the hand bone. The apprentice pounced on it, grabbing it and avoiding it. Immediately afterwards, stone thorns shot into the sky, tearing the hollow tree trunk into flying sawdust.
"That won't work, Uriel!"
"I said the problem is not with that bone." The apprentice shouted, "There is no time, let's solve the mystery first!"
At this moment, a sharp thorn poked out from behind the dead tree, faster than any arrow. It had no wind and no eye-catching trajectory, so that when Uriel realized the crisis, he had no choice but to avoid it.
The apprentice threw the hand bone without thinking. Sure enough, the arrowhead of the stone spear was bent and headed straight for the bones.
"York!"
The light element caught it and ducked to avoid the sharp stab. Then Joey struck with anger, and the ice and snow hammer fell from the sky, breaking the steel rock pillar. The mercenary looked incredulous: "Give it to me?"
Uriel didn't have time to explain. He unfolded the parchment and said, "I swear, I will let you rest in peace!"
There was a soft sound in the world of consciousness and soul, as if something was disconnected——
The wind blew in the valley.
"You swear again!" 』
Uriel raised his hand, and the rune ring flashed with light. He had to come to Sauron in advance, otherwise the headache would torture him crazy as soon as he entered the valley. "I only promise what I can keep. Now tell me, what happened to the mystery in the valley?"
Ring was extremely reluctant. "How dare you order the wise Mr. Gessen"
"How about I invite Bai to ask?"
"... Show some respect to your mentor." Sauron had nothing to say. The apprentice knew that it would not dare to trouble the messenger even if it had the courage to do so.
"I respect him, but not as his apprentice. You should know that."
Sauron didn't want to pay attention to him:
"Abnormal magic power detected, highly mysterious"
"The line of law is stable"
"Abnormal sound waves detected"
Finally succeeded, the mystery of sound waves has been eliminated, and the law cannot be interfered with!
"York! Blow the bones in your hand!" Uriel shouted at the mercenary.
Yorkshire's eyes widened, and he suspected that there was something wrong with his ears. Blow the bones? Or the hand bones of a corpse that has been dead for thousands of years? Is there any request more ridiculous than this?
"The mystery that restricted magic has been lifted, and the magic in the valley has returned to normal." The dwarf said. He knocked on the ground excitedly, and the soil made waves. But under the double influence, the ice also began to crack.
"I did not do it on purpose……"
The messenger glanced at him.
The giant of steel and rock poked its head out, and the valley was on the verge of collapse. The silence faded from the high ground where the spring water originated, and a loud rumble suddenly filled the eardrums.
The Valley of Sleep is awakening.
"Control them, Shiro!" Uriel shouted. Everything is going according to plan, as long as Joey doesn't act cruelly.
The strength of the Steel Rock Guard is equivalent to the peak of the ring level, and he is worthy of his big body. They can easily fly away big trees, break cliffs, and cause huge damage. But if you think they are slow and lack sensitivity, then the elusive stone thorns will tell you where you are wrong.
But even so, Uriel didn't think they would be Joey's opponents. After breaking the mysterious suppression, the messenger had no scruples, so that the outcome would not change even if he tried again.
The three guys who couldn't intervene looked at the battlefield and witnessed the whole process of the messenger resisting the attack and freezing the rocks, and then flying up and pressing the heads of the elemental guards to throw them back to the ground. Uriel couldn't help but feel afraid of his previous audacity.
The valley was filled with dust.
Joey suddenly jumped away as the giants were crushing. The steel rock guards continued to shrink, and the stone thorns were waving randomly in mid-air. He had to freeze the ground again.
The Steel Guards cannot be destroyed—
"You're right." The dwarf pushed the apprentice's shoulder in surprise. "How did you know?"
Should I tell him about precognition magic? Uriel hesitated, but Sauron stopped him when ice flakes crawled onto his fingers.
He decided not to think about this problem for now, Joey's arrangement always made sense. "York." The apprentice pretended not to notice. "Blow it!"
"But these are bones!"
"A thousand years have passed, and the bones of the cave dwellers have long since decayed and disappeared. Those are not real bones, just a mysterious creation." Uriel replied, "It is a creation that combines thoughts and magic."
"You said there was a curse on it."
“But the one who destroys it will be the one who gets it.”
"The mystery is gone, what's the use of me blowing on it?"
"Liberate the Steel Guards."
"How can this be?"
"Because the idea to form the bone claws came from them. They are mysterious creatures." Ever since the Scroll of Oath responded to his oath, Uriel understood that the so-called Valley of Sleep meant something else. This is the resting place of the Steel Guards, not the cavemen. The race that created the stone monsters has long since left no traces, and has completely disappeared from the history of Knox.
"The Steel and Rock Guards originally had no souls, but when they became mysterious, fire was born." He told his companions the truth, "There are two kinds of mysteries in the Valley of Sleep, one is the curse of the devil, and the other is the steel." The fire of the Rock Guards. The two were entangled through the bone claws of the cavemen, which caused the valley to fall into silence. Destroying the bone claws alone only eliminated the curse. Only by giving clear orders to the Steel Rock Guards would they get relief."
"I know that," the dwarf muttered, "but where can we find a caveman to give orders?"
"The cavemen are dead, but the stone monsters are no longer a rigid aggregation of elements. As long as they understand that the agreement is no longer there, these giants will disappear on their own."
But York was hesitant to take action. He was worried that he would not be able to convey the message across races. "I don't think you would know that from Chloe's account."
"But astrologers always know a lot." The apprentice replied seriously. "Just blow it. If there is danger, it won't threaten us."
"How do you say that?"
"The curse is not omnipotent, I just chose another path." The first method has been tried.
In fact, Uriel doubted whether the curse had any effect on Joey, because there was only a shadow that appeared in the dream, and it had no effect on the messenger's behavior at all. Of course he would scare himself half to death.
"Then why should I come?"
The apprentice thought for a while and asked, "Do you need practice on your playing?"
"..."
