Chapter 241 footprints, fanatics, careerists
Whether it is the mages of the Bradaka Kingdom, the Necromancers of the Helais Kingdom, or the druids of the Iroland Kingdom, the legal professionals in the Ashan world have always believed in a truth, that is, "knowledge represents strength"!
Whether a mage is powerful or not is related to their own magic power, but knowledge is also an important factor in determining the level of achievement a mage can achieve.
Alan Thiel, the Lord of Death, is a true wise man. He is the most knowledgeable in the Kingdom of Heles. His words and deeds are calm and atmospheric, and the burning light in his eyes is as vast as a sea of smoke. Anyone who has come into contact with him will be impressed by his wisdom. Even his enemies, while resenting him, have to admit that this is a respectable opponent.
Of course, this refers to Alan Thiel in a normal state. If someone mentioned Asha, the dragon of order, in front of him, it would be another matter.
Alan Thiel at this time will let you see what a fanatical believer looks like...
In the world of Ashan, the dragon is not just a "giant winged fire-breathing reptile", but also the main **** of the world of Ashan and the embodiment of magic.
Mortals on the world of Ashan are aware of the existence of dragons, and respect them, and sometimes even fear them. People swear by the name of the dragon, and the existence of the dragon permeates every aspect of people's daily life.
Among the poems praised by the world, Asha, the dragon of order, is the most unique existence. People firmly believe that she is the goddess of creation, the mother of time and space, and the weaver of fate!
She created the world and hatched six elemental dragons to rule it; she controls the fate of all mortal beings: she weaves them at birth, measures them as they grow, and Cut off their fate when they die, and these three functions are mythologically called the three sides of Asha.
Namely: birth, life and death!
In some other kind and orderly races in the world of Ashan, they often believe in the first two sides of Asha. However, in the undead kingdom of Helles, although the necromancers here also choose Asha as their goddess of belief, they are Faith in The Last Side of Asha: The Dark Side of Death!
The necromancers' perception of Asha's power and characteristics is distorted, and they even concretized their belief in the dark side of Asha. They believed that the incarnation of Asha's dark side was a huge and pitch-black beast. As for the spider, this spider is the so-called "Weaver of Destiny", and it is majestically used as the mark of the Necromancer.
The spider tattoo on Arantier's forehead is the source of this. He is a fanatical believer in the dark side of Asha. He gained great power through practicing undead magic, but he attributed this achievement to Asha's favor for him. He declared that he was Asha's chosen one, and that he had the destiny to be chosen by the Spider Goddess!
In his opinion, it is his destiny to fight against the goddess' younger brother who is also her old enemy, the descendant of Urgas, the dragon of chaos, and to restore the order of Asha's world! Regardless of whether the name of the Chosen One is real or he hypnotized himself, Alan Thiel did firmly perform his duties.
In the legend, Asha keeps absolute neutrality, she will not favor the good or the bad, dwarves, elves or orcs. All are Asha's creations, but she has expressed the most direct opposition to the chaotic creed represented by her twin brother, and to her mad offspring, the demon, and it is for this reason that Arantir has acted throughout his life. , also extremely hated the devil.
Now, the reason why Arantir appears in this desert of death is precisely because of the sixth lunar eclipse that was not spoken four years ago. During this lunar eclipse, the sudden appearance of the demon army shocked the entire world of Ashan , the Kingdom of Erathia was invaded by demons, the most powerful country on this continent, its capital Standwick was almost destroyed in this demon invasion.
Although with the help of the allies of various races, the Kingdom of Erathia finally saved the capital and temporarily repelled the demons. However, in the short peace, Alan Thiel smelled something unusual.
After the war, Queen Isabel of the Kingdom of Erasia seemed to have changed her temperament and did many incomprehensible things again and again. Although many people are saying that this may be because her husband Nikolai was killed The reason for the demon's killing, she seemed a little irrational in grief, but Alan Thiel felt that it might not be that simple.
In addition, some information and indications indicate that after the demon invasion, some fallen mages in the Kingdom of Bradaka who worshiped the demon power chose to follow the demon. They secretly supported Eofol and sent with minerals and resources.
In the Kingdom of Heles, many necromancers were originally forced to go into exile because of the persecution of the mages of the Bradaka Kingdom, so Arantier did not have a good impression of the mages of Bradaka. After showing the signs, Alan Thiel also included them among the enemies to be eliminated.
Coming out of Heles this time, Alan Thiel's purpose is to find out the chaos that is happening in the Kingdom of Erasia, and to find a way to eliminate the demons of Eofol. where the responsibility lies.
But to achieve this goal, Alan Thiel must have a strong army...
In order to assemble a huge army, Arantir has been wandering around the world of Ashan for a long time. He found many rotting corpses from decaying tombs, and transformed them into zombies. , he recruited many Liches (people in the Ashan world like to call liches Liches), and then risked their lives in the dragon cemetery to steal the bones of the dragon and create a bone dragon. Now he He came to the desert of death again, hoping to find the remains of ancient warriors from the tomb of the pharaoh thousands of years ago, and recruit them to join his army of undead.
Relying on his ability to perceive the land of death, Arantier led the army to this oasis. However, when he arrived here, he found that someone seemed to have disturbed the undead here, and a big battle broke out Well, dead bones are now scattered everywhere in the entire oasis. The land of death under this oasis, the undead that have been brewing for thousands of years, have been destroyed in one fell swoop.
If it was destroyed, it would be destroyed, and Arantier didn't care much about it. The desert of death is so huge. There are many similar places of death and pharaoh's tombs. He just needs to find others. However, what remains in this oasis However, Alan Thiel was very concerned about his breath.
"The smell of sulfur and flames, this is the breath of the devil!" Alan Thiel gently sniffed the message in the breeze, then carefully checked the footprints left on the ground, and said while watching: "There is also a huge I don’t know what it is, but it looks like the footprint of some kind of dog, and the footprint it left is the deepest...There is also a human female footprint, but it is hard to say whether it is human..."
What made Alan Thiel most nervous was another footprint!
Alan Thiel found several footprints on the ground, but these footprints were black solid ice, to be precise, a small piece of frosted ground! The frosted ground is very tight in the middle, and the traces of freezing spread in all directions. Alan Thiel observed for a long time, but he did not see any signs of melting of these black solid ice, and on these black solid ice, There is a sunken footprint, and Alan Thiel restored a strong claw model from this footprint.
Crouching down, Alan Thiel tried to reach out his hand to touch the icy footprint, but unexpectedly, when he touched it, there was a slight tingling sensation, and he could feel that there was a weak electric current on it!
At the same time, I can also feel that the magic power on my fingertips has also disappeared slightly...
"Asha is in control of everything!" Alan Thiel popped out his mantra, and said in surprise: "What kind of demon footprints are these?"
Yes, from the footprints with sharp claws, Alan Thiel judged that this was a footprint left by a demon. However, in his impression, many demons left footprints of flames, which is very easy to judge, but Like the black frost footprint now, there are footprints of lightning and demon-eating power in it, but Alan Thiel has never seen it before!
Just when Alan Thiel was in doubt, behind him, a vampire count wearing a cloak and holding a long sword in his hand, with sharp canine teeth protruding from the corner of his mouth, stepped forward and said to him: "Your Excellency, these footprints are still there. It was not covered by wind and sand, which means that the owner of the footprints left not long ago, should we catch up and have a look?"
"Yes, Count Giovanni, we must catch up and see!" Alan Thiel looked back at the vampire count named Giovanni expressionlessly, and said, "This may be a powerful beast of unknown power. Devil, his appearance may not be a good thing for the world of Ashan. We must find out his movements as soon as possible. You and your vampire army have excellent mobility. Maybe you can catch up with them as an advance army, but don't Conflict with the devil, wait for my troops to arrive later!"
"Follow your orders, Your Excellency Arantier!" Giovanni grinned, stroked his chest and saluted, "Asha controls everything!"
"Asha controls everything!" Alan Thiel also responded to him.
Then, Giovanni's body suddenly turned into a huge bat, chasing in the direction where the footprints left. Behind him, a large number of vampire troops followed the count, turning into a large number of bats, whirring. Fly forward.
Looking at this scene, Alan Thiel was still expressionless, but a slight light suddenly lit up in his right hand hidden in the wide sleeve.
A small wizard's eye appeared in mid-air, silently following behind Giovanni and the vampire troops...
