Chapter 58: Robbery!

(In the leap month of the lunar calendar, dragon boats have already gone down the river one after another. This year I actually saw a dragon boat with a black flag, which means I haven't seen it for many years. Those who know more about these traditional customs should have heard of the saying "one black and two yellow". Almost every time a dragon boat with a black flag appears, this year's Dragon Boat Festival will not be too calm. By the way, Futu really wants to eat rice dumplings.)

Why did Kratos, the God of War, arrive in person?

Why did Rose Tyrande, the moon walker, say that profound sentence at the end?

Murphy couldn't understand it for a moment, but what he could be sure of was that this time the incarnation of the God of War Kratos personally descended on the head of the God of War Priests was not only because of a high-level demon, but also the main reason was probably related to the Moon Walker in front of him and the Goddess of Life believed by the High Elves. His appearance seemed to be a statement, indicating that the gods of Olympus would stand on the same front as the Goddess of Life under the threat of the abyss.

This war is over.

Although the ground was full of blood, the corpse of the companion was still lying beside him, the broken swords, broken leather armor, and the traces left by the battle made everyone feel heavy, but at the moment of victory, people still couldn't help but cheer.

Victory

It's finally over.

This tragic war that lasted for nearly half a year finally came to a successful end today.

The Lizardmen's army had collapsed, and peace and tranquility came back to this land. Although too much blood and tears were left behind, they were finally victorious.

At this moment of victory, all the efforts and rewards are worth it

……………………

"It's over." Murphy shook his head and smiled.

Although the army brought by Athens also paid nearly half of the casualties, it was all worth it. Because this war won Athens an ally that was more solid and reliable than the centaur, that is, the half-elves. After this fierce battle, the relationship between Athens and the half-elves in the "Total War" auxiliary system has reached the level of seven stars, which has far exceeded the level of friendship.

"Cleaning the battlefield." Murphy seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and a huge rock that had been pressing down in his heart also fell.

This man who had been standing solemnly on the battlefield and stood up straight like a flagpole, just sitting on the bloody soil. No one knew how much pressure Murphy was under, and no one knew what he had paid to maintain absolute calmness on the battlefield. In fact, from the decision to assist the half-elves to the first fight with the Lizardman, Murphy's spirit remained in a highly concentrated state.

Now, once he relaxed, he even felt a little exhausted.

but

The habit that I have maintained has caused Murphy, who had just fallen down, to get up again.

He walked towards the corpse of the high-level demon Freunzas, preparing to see if there were any amazing spoils on the body of this demon. This high-level demon could cross the plane and descend into the main material world. Obviously, it was not an ordinary existence in the abyss, at least a lord-level demon. So there should be some good things on it.

The strange texture of armor was actually the same color as Hellfire, with the inscription of the demon engraved on it. This set of armor was probably about to weigh 500 kilograms, and it was not something that ordinary creatures could equip. Murphy waved his hand and attracted a few Spartan warriors. He stripped off the armor on the demon with great force. The armor itself had elemental fluctuations, which was obviously forged from demonic metal far beyond this world. Murphy planned to take it back for the two masters to study it, and maybe he could find something.

The double-edged weapon used by the high-level demons is about 300 kilograms. The surface of the weapon is lilac and a series of demonic words are carved in the middle. When activated, the entire weapon will be wrapped in flames.

However, with the death of the advanced demon who used it, the weapon has now returned to peace.

"That's all?" Murphy searched unwillingly. A high-level demon from the abyss, who can stand with the twelve black dragons without a chance to decide the outcome, only has such a little thing on it?

No?

Then it is too poor.

"You have only such a little thing on you, but you are so embarrassed to say that you are the future demon king." Murphy kicked the demon corpse hard, waved his hand to attract a group of soldiers, ready to move the demon corpse back directly. "If there were some rare treasures on you, I wouldn't use you as a spoil. But you are so poor, no wonder I'd peeled your bones."

Demon Blood is an important casting material, used to record arcane texts to increase the success rate of magic scrolls. Demon's tooth can be embedded on the staff as an increase in the energy of negative elements. Demon's Eye has the effect of "Eye of True Vision" and can see through all darkness and mist. Demon's Wings are a very rare medium of flight. With just a little blessing, ordinary people can fly into the air. Demon's skin can be made of first-class leather armor, and demon's bones can be ground into powder as alchemy materials. Although ordinary people cannot eat the flesh of demons, some creatures may not mind.

As for the pair of horns on the demon's head, although Murphy hadn't thought about the specific purpose, he decided to hang it in the hall of the Governor's Mansion.

After fully conceiving how this demon corpse should be used effectively without wasting it.

Murphy suddenly found that there was a small gray translucent diamond-shaped fragment where the body was lifted. It looked a bit like a crystal texture, but it seemed like a layer of mist was surging inside. Curiously, Murphy reached out to pick up the light gray translucent diamond-shaped fragment, but as soon as he picked up that thing, the auxiliary system of "Total War" quickly issued a prompt sound.

"Ding Discover Unknown Swords Assistance System is scanning autonomously..."

"The energy content of the target object is too high and the auxiliary system cannot scan... The passive search program is enabled... The Olympian divine power is imported..."

"Ding scan process interrupted the target energy and increased significantly again... The three-pole alert program is started... Automatically extract the power of the temple faith..."

……………………

As a series of "Total War" auxiliary system prompts sounded, the power of faith on the temple page began to be consumed rapidly. Previously, the Priest of the God of War used the God of War to consume nearly 100,000 of faith power. However, during the scanning of the auxiliary system, the remaining 120,000 of faith power was also consumed rapidly. As time passed, the power of faith in the temple became less and less. Athens accumulated more than a little, and in the end, there were only less than two thousand faith power left.

At this time, the auxiliary system also sounded the system prompt sound again.

"Ding target data scanning is completed."

Murphy looked at the accumulation of faith that had become empty, and was speechless for a moment. First, half of the God-Subduing Ritual was consumed, but now he used up his other half because of scanning this strange thing. Less than two thousand faith powers left could not even maintain the transformation of Spartan warriors in Athens this month. At least it will take the next month that Athens can continue to use the God-Subduing Ritual to strengthen Spartan warriors.

What exactly is this?

Murphy opened the data page of the "Total War" auxiliary system and carefully observed the light gray translucent diamond fragment.

"Broken Divine Type [1/12]: This divine type fragment is condensed from the soul of the high-level demon Freunzas. It is a high-level demon from the seventh level of the abyss. It ruled a land with an area of ​​1250,000 square kilometers north of the seventh level of the abyss. In the most chaotic era of the last epoch, it once fought with demigods in many planes. After the fall of those demigods killed by it, part of the divine type was swallowed and absorbed by it and transformed into part of its soul. (This divine type fragment has an incredible powerful force to dedicate it to any temple to exchange for the grace of the gods)"

At the end of these words, there is a row of small words.

——"But its function is not just that, it is a shortcut for mortals to the kingdom of gods"

Murphy was shocked

Even his hand holding the translucent crystal trembled a little.

He almost quickly put away the diamond crystal that looked inconspicuous, and then looked around like a thief. It was not that he was too nervous, but that the value of this thing was too amazing, I am afraid it was something that matter could not measure. Murphy finally understood why in the legend, those heroes and sages could grow rapidly at such an amazing speed, surpassing others for nearly half their life's hard practice in just a few years.

According to legend, the rise of those heroic sages was almost always after defeating a powerful demon by chance.

Then these legendary beings either became apostles of a god, possessed powerful power under the grace of the gods, or their strength became rapid, and almost entered the realm of legends at once.

Murphy initially thought they had awakened an amazing talent that was against the sky under the elemental tide.

But now it seems that this is not the only one.

If Murphy was not wrong, the rise of those legendary heroic sages may be related to the thing in his hands.

But, how to use this thing?

……………………

"What should I do with that Hydra, Your Excellency Murphy?"

Just when Murphy was having a headache because of the trophy that was found in a high-level demon that was amazing but didn't know how to use it, a high-level priest from the goddess of the moon, Elune, came to him and asked respectfully.

The ritual of the arrival of the god of war, Kratos, had obviously been seen by everyone, and such a miracle could not have been done by an ordinary demigod or heroic spirit. Obviously, this means that there is a real god behind Athens, and the legend about Athens being blessed by the so-called Olympus gods is probably not nonsense. This makes these priests of the moon gods Elune suddenly feel a sense of awe for Murphy.

Hydra?

Yes, there is another spoil here

When Murphy thought of a mud Hydra on the battlefield waiting for him to collect the spoils, Murphy didn't care about how to use the divine fragment. Instead, he took the high-level priest of the Moon God and turned around and rushed towards the Hydra. As a prehistoric beast comparable to a giant dragon, although it may not have the hobby of collecting wealth like a giant dragon, it should still have a lot of valuable and valuable things on it.

However, Murphy found something wrong as soon as he got there.

"Huh? It's not dead yet?" Murphy looked at the mortal Hydra who was dying but not really dead yet, and said in confusion.

The ancient tree of war was also quite injured in the previous battle. Now the natural druids are extracting the essence of plants and plants to repair its wounds. The double-headed Chimera has been hovering in the air, and the two huge heads stared at the sluggish Hydra crawling on the ground. As long as it has any abnormal movements, Murphy can guarantee that the double-headed Chimera will pounce down and solve the only remaining head.

I have to say that the vitality of prehistoric beasts like the Mud Hydra is really tenacious.

Nine heads, three, six small, seven of which have been scrapped. The only two left, one big and one small, the one big and one small, was seriously injured. One of the two-headed Chimera's head was bitten hard on the thick and long cervical vertebra. Hundreds of kilograms of flesh were torn off from the wound, and the pale bones could be seen. However, under such severe injuries, the mud Hydra had not yet died.

"Mr. Murphy has given up resisting. What should we do with it?" A high-level wild druid came to Murphy and pointed to the hydrazon with weak breath but still alive.

"Give up resistance?" Murphy asked with a strange look on his face, "Are you saying it surrendered?"

"Surrender? Yes, that's the case." The high-level wild druid nodded and said something to the seriously injured and dying Hydra in a series of dragon words.

Then, the hydra with a weak breath struggled to get up and crawled at Murphy's feet.

What's going on?

Murphy kicked the mud Hydra in the head, but it didn't move at all, just crawling honestly.

"Huh? There is such a strange thing." Murphy walked around the only intact head of the Misty Hydra and said in amazement. This Misty Hydra, which has existed for a short time, has obviously given birth to wisdom. He still knew that he would choose to surrender even if he could not win or escape. It really surprised Murphy. Unfortunately, a creature like Hydra can only use Dragon Word and Lizard Man. Murphy neither knows Lizard, but has no idea about Dragon Word, and has no way to ask it personally.

Dragon Word is a language subject that only advanced mages can study in depth. Murphy can understand a few simple Dragon Words, but it is difficult to say them by himself.

Because the Dragon Word is like the High Elf Word, it is itself a kind of spell similar to a spell.

How to deal with it?

Murphy also felt a little troubled at this moment.

Kill it?

It's a pity to kill it.

Besides, it has surrendered, and if it can kill things directly, the half-elves will not come to him.

These wild druids are all relatively old-fashioned existences. Although they have strong combat power, their thoughts are somewhat solidified. Obviously, they also think that since the mud Hydra has surrendered, they should not be killed. I guess these wild druids don’t know how to deal with this mud Hydra, so they invited Murphy over. Moreover, from Murphy’s perspective, killing is really a waste.

Let it go?

This is even more unlikely

If such a prehistoric beast is put outside, I don't know how many creatures will suffer

But then what should I do?

Murphy frowned and thought hard for a long time, and suddenly an amazing thought popped up in his mind.

In the Arcane School, every mage apprentice will learn a very ordinary skill after advancing, that is, [Summoning Magic Pet]. In fact, it is a magic pet, but only some ordinary beasts are summoned, and there may even be some kittens and dogs. Advanced mages may be able to enslave some magic creatures, but none of the apprentices who have just advanced have. Therefore, the function of the [Summoning Magic Pet] spell is to sign a contract with an ordinary beast, make them smarter and help the mage.

The most common are kittens and dogs, followed by birds such as owls and doves.
