The Legend of Fatality
Chapter 752: demon
Remember in a second 【】
Luck-Snake Tongue felt that he seemed to have undergone a weird change. His skin started to tingle. His fur is itchy. He has been very hungry. Since he was exposed to magic stone dust during the storm, a strange disease has spasmed him.
Fortunately, he stole a lot of supplies for the dwarves. He devoured all the supplies on his body. He couldn't stop himself until all the food was gone. In the end, he was very thankful that he finally opened the hatch before he started eating his tail.
The effects of all these food consumption are beginning to show. His muscles swelled, his tail thickened, and his size grew larger. His head hurts, and he found it hard to think clearly. He prayed to the devil, hoping he had not contracted some kind of plague.
He still remembers his fear when he fell ill in Heidelberg and the plague that almost killed him. If the plague came again, he would not have the herbs that Velebrus-Nule had used to save him, and even Villebris-Nule itself would not even exist in this world.
He slowly climbed the ladder to the observatory that he became a crow's nest, so that he could communicate with the annoying Tangul daily. He hated the chattering words in his heart, hated the stupid commands, hated the voice that told him what to do.
Part of his heart knew that he should n’t think that way, which was very unwise, but he could n’t keep himself cautious. He has pain all over. His vision was blurred, his vision was increasingly blurred, and his hair began to fall off where there were huge boils. He finally decided not to worry about contacting the prophet. He is going back to the cave to sleep. But first, he needs to eat something. He began to long for a fat dwarf piece of meat.

Bai En felt a pain in his body, and he was not sure whether it was because of the previous battle in the pyramid building or because of some sprains while climbing the rope ladder. As a person who was frequently injured, he checked his body, and there was no real injury except for some bruises caught in the paws of the Hawks.
But perhaps because of this, it made him even more uneasy. Bai En doesn't know how those aberrations feel when they mutate. If this is what they have experienced, it is definitely not good news for him. Especially considering the monster with rubber-like skin and leeches that he killed not long ago in the pool. Perhaps the 'monster' Moradron would like to become like this, he could not help thinking maliciously.
Bai En took a deep breath and knocked on the door of Borek's room. The metal echoed under his knuckles.
"Come in." There was the voice of the old dwarf. Bai En opened the door and went in. Borek's room is bigger than his. Crystal cabinets lined up on the wall, and many books were inside. A table is fixed on the middle floor, and an old map is placed on the table, on which are placed four strange-looking black metal paperweights.
Seeing Bane ’s curiosity, Borek said, "Magnet."
"What?" Bai En didn't understand the meaning of the old dwarf for the first time.
"Those paperweights are magnets. They stick to steel. This is a strange philosophical principle, similar to the principle that the compass points north. Go, try to pick one."
Bai En opened his mouth. He wanted to say that he knew what a magnet was, but he chose to remain silent in the end. And it is a bit strange to him that this principle is called the principle of philosophy, but Bai En always thinks that philosophy is an attempt to understand how things in the most general sense are connected in the most general sense. But considering the true meaning of the master scholar and the philosophical exploration of everything, it seems to make sense. After all, someone once said that the foundation of all disciplines is philosophy.
Bai En decided to do as he said, and when he picked it up, he felt a kind of resistance he expected. Then he loosened the metal, and it seemed to jump out of his hand, clinging to the table with a click. He thinks this is the dwarf's particular attention to detail. They have managed to find a way to maintain the position of the map on unstable platforms like this airship. Even if this is just such a simple method. But he still praised this fact.
"This is a well-known force. It was used by our navigators on ships." He smiled. "But I guess that you are not here to discuss the details of the cabin layout--"
Bane agreed with this, so he began to speak, telling Borrek about the three of them who encountered the magician who claimed to be Haus-Gregor in the abandoned city, and the devil he mentioned. The unexpected encounter with House-Gregor made him start thinking. For the first time, he really began to seriously consider the possibility that such a terrible thing might exist in Guntergrim.
Of course, what he can't tell the old dwarf is that he pays more attention to the teleportation spell used by the magician, such a quick casting speed, such a long teleportation distance, and such a precise teleportation location. For the first time in his life, he was so eager to learn a spell, but he couldn't and didn't dare to go back alone to investigate the magic circle at the bottom of the pyramid.
It ’s not that the wizard who released the teleport spell in his hand will release a devastating spell in the same hand. Bane knows that a caster who can use powerful non-aggressive spells does not necessarily use powerful offensive. Spells, even if he can, Bai En can deal with it by preparing in advance. He was more worried about the group of horned beasts, and he could not handle this alone.
At that time, if he had a few days, he could reprint the magic circle and the surrounding runes. Maybe he could deduce this spell backwards through long-term research. Considering the large number of wizards in Fatalin, it is likely that at least Perform a similar teleportation spell.

But he didn't have time to do this at the time.
But even if Bai En knew that he would probably never return there, he still eagerly learned that spell in his mind, more than ever.
But he is now looking for Borek because of another thing, about the devil. After he explained how the three escaped from the pyramid, he began to tell the old dwarves about the demons he knew.
The old dwarf listened and nodded from time to time. After Bane finished, when Borek filled the pipe with pipe, everyone was silent for a while.
"How is this possible?" Bai En exclaimed. "The demons cannot exist in this world for a long time. Even if there is a connection between the summoner and it, it cannot exist for a long time. How can they exist for a long time here and not outside this waste land?"
Bai En is talking about facts, even if the only Trek he knows is-Falheim. In recent years, Lily's long-term existence has not been maintained. At first he thought it was to prevent the mages and demon hunters in human society from discovering, but in the previous conversations, he only learned about it after casually asking about it.
It seems that because Lily itself was too weak, the consumption between the two was also very low, so it was possible to maintain a long-term existence. But with Lily's own growth, Falheim needs to consume a lot of magic power every time she calls her, and she can't maintain the state of being. Of course, Bian will also maliciously guess that perhaps Falheim began to feel that as someone grows older, he is not very convenient when doing some ‘things’.
After listening to what Bai En said, he stared at him for a long time. "They can and do exist outside the wasteland. According to our records, many demons have fought against the dwarven army."
"a lot of?"
"Thousands and thousands."
"Then where are they now?" Bai En asked.
"It's gone. Who knows why? Who can really explain how the evil forces work?" Borrek said with a breath. "Perhaps as you said, they need a connection to reality."
"But about why they exist here, you must have a theory?" Bai En asked again, and then added quickly. "According to everything I know, the demons faced by the dwarven army are likely to have some connection with their chiefs, and their chiefs-probably related to the sacrificial rituals I saw before. Followers use this ritual to summon them into this world, and most use some human bodies as media to keep them attached to it. "
After listening, Borek hesitated for a moment before speaking. "In fact, there are many theories among the dwarves, Mr. Bane. As far as we know, the original magical energy flows more strongly in the wasteland. As a caster, I think you must know this better than me. "
Borek saw White nod and confirm after nodding.
"It seems that the demons are likely to feed on this energy and need its existence. Outside these waste soils, they can only appear for a short period of time and then disappear because the magic is weakened. At this point Similar to what you said before. In the realm of evil gods, they can show themselves for a long time because they have more power to use. "
"But why?" Bai En asked subconsciously.
If according to his previous understanding, the existence of the demon in the world needs the magic power between it and the caster, Bai En has always thought that this may be due to the repulsive effect caused by the different spaces.
But if according to Borek, although the two statements are similar, but Borek's theory clearly believes that the demons exist alone, they can continue to appear because of the original magic energy, similar to eating magic. This can indeed explain why some demons will try to attack the summoner, or counter the summoner.
But this also makes the demons into some kind of magical creatures, rather than monsters that represent evil, those fierce and cruel performances are more like the nature of certain beasts. The inexplicable pain in the whole body made Bai En feel more headache when thinking about these problems. In the end, he temporarily gave up. The essence of the devil is not important to him. He only needs to remember that this monster is extremely dangerous.
"Eisenheim-Schneider believes that in the very center of the wasteland, there is some kind of interference-this is the source of all magic. According to him, it also distorts time and distance to some extent. You know Yes, many scholars claim that time passes at different places in the waste soil at different speeds. The deeper you go into the waste soil, the more obvious this effect will be. "
Bai En did not agree with the magician ’s theory. As far as he knew, the first use of magic in the historical records was the elves. Even from the human historical record, the age of using magic was earlier than the invasion of evil forces. Much more. If the wasteland center is the source of magic, how can the city of elves, dwarves, and humans already exist on this wasteland?
"So, why don't the demons appear in groups around us now?" Bai En retorted. "In fact, we flew so far away, except for those Hawks, we didn't see any one. There is only a demon. I mean a real demon, not something like the eagle body demon, which is called a demon by people, but is actually just an ugly monster. "
"Maybe it's because we haven't gone far enough. I suspect that a real demon of the kind you refer to cannot exist here for a long time, so close to the edge of the barren wasteland, but I'm not sure if the situation is really So ~ lightnovelpub.net ~ I still do n’t know much about these things. "
"But do you think there is a demon still in Guntergrim?"

Borek smiled coldly. "It's too possible. Just when I left, there were terrible rumors that some terrifying things were called, King Tanglelim-Firebeard of Guntergrim and his runes The mages lined up to meet it. Maybe it was trapped there, maybe it never left. I do n’t know. My family and I fled the city before the final battle. "
"This is indeed not a pleasant idea."
"Yes, but we will know the answer soon. At our current speed, we should arrive at Guntergrim around the third day."
"and then?"
"We will know by then."
