CHAPTER 7 THOSE OLD THINGS

When he clenched his long sword and rushed towards the ferocious monster, Gawain had no tension, no hesitation, and no fear. If he had to say something, it would be just a little bit of trance and unreality.

He still clearly remembers the moment when his plane crashed.

He also clearly remembered the hundreds of thousands of years he had hung in the sky above this world.

He hasn't quite adapted to the status of Gawain Cecil, who has fallen from the sky.

However, at this moment, he clenched an ancient family sword and swooped at a strange monster who didn't know whether it was a demon or an undead.

boom!

A huge impact came from the blade, and all the distracting thoughts in my mind instantly vanished.

Dodging the monster's swept claws with an almost instinctive reaction, Gao Wen turned his upper body in a small half circle, and the swinging blade pierced the air with a stream of light, slashing fiercely at the monster's shoulder. While slashing under the blade, he worked hard to mobilize the power contained in this body and guide that power to the long sword in his hand.

The faint red at the root of the blade burst into a dazzling red light under the stimulation of strength, and spread rapidly along the blade like a flame. Under the scorching heat, even the surrounding air was twisted.

The three-meter-tall monster felt the threat from the high temperature of the blade, and suddenly fell back with agility that was completely inconsistent with its huge size. As a result, Gawain's slash was so badly missed.

It was the first time that he released this magical supernatural power with his own hand, and Gao Wen would inevitably have a moment of excitement and excitement in his heart. It was probably this moment of excitement that made him unable to grasp the first attack. Rhythm, but soon he adjusted his mentality and re-infused his power into the long sword.

The skills and knowledge from Gawain Cecil in memory can really be called, and this body has not yet declined to the point where it can't exert its strength at all. A lot of confidence has been added.

He began to immerse himself in the battle, and tried to convert the combat experience in his mind that did not belong to him into his available power as quickly as possible.

On the other side, Byron has fallen into a hard fight.

This middle-level knight is considered one of the top masters of Cecil's leadership. His fighting career before serving the Cecil family also allowed him to accumulate extraordinary combat experience. However, he had already consumed too much when the monsters attacked the castle before. His vigor, coupled with being eroded by the monster's strange magic, the dark wounds in his body further reduced his combat effectiveness, which made the knight's 100% combat effectiveness only 40% to 50%.

At this moment, facing the continuous onslaught of monsters, he could only hold on to his long sword and try to remain undefeated.

Rebecca gathered magic power, and a head-sized scorching fireball flew out from the front of the staff, collided violently with the shadow arrow of the magic-casting monster in the distance, and an earth-shattering explosion sounded. Then she took a breath and immediately. Noticing the dangerous situation on Byron's side, he immediately shouted to the territorial soldiers beside him, "You three, go and help Byron!"

A soldier hesitated for a moment: "But Lord Lord..."

Rebecca shouted while condensing the new fireball technique: "We are fine for the time being - but if Byron falls, it will be over! I order you to go as a lord!"

The three soldiers could only take orders and fight against the terrifying monster with Knight Byron.

Gawain was gradually immersed in the battle. The memories and experiences in his mind that did not belong to him were rapidly being transformed into his own, and he was improving his ability to control his new body. This process brought him full achievements. When he woke up a little from this immersion state, he found that the monster in front of him had been crushed and beaten by himself.

The distorted body surging with "sludge" is not invulnerable,

If they are cut, they will still be injured. If they are cut too much, they will still die. Although they are infinitely powerful and have an advantage in size, as long as they master the method of confrontation, the human body can still destroy them.

This is the experience left over seven hundred years ago.

The monster's sharp claws swept over his head, and Gawain was short and stabbed his long sword into the opponent's thigh with his backhand. The latter finally let out a muddy roar, and his body tilted to the side uncontrollably. Given the chance, Gawain shouted to Byron: "Try to attack their abdomen and lower limbs, don't mind the chest, these guys have no heart!"

Then, taking advantage of his opponent's loss of balance, he twisted around the opponent's side and behind, raised his long sword and stabbed the monster's back waist: "Besides the abdominal cavity, their other weakness is in the back! The back waist!"

Listening to the instructions from the ancestors of the Cecil family, Byron was instantly refreshed. With the cooperation of the three soldiers, he quickly restrained the monster's movements, and at the cost of being pierced by sharp claws on his shoulder armor, Directly drilled through the opponent's crotch, and hit the key point with a reflexive sword.

And one second before Byron resolved the enemy, the monster in front of Gawain also fell heavily.

After finishing the enemy, Gawain immediately raised his head and looked at the monster in the distance who was blasting with shadow arrows and Rebecca's fireballs, but just as he was about to rush to the front, the monster suddenly let out a shrill cry. roared, and then collapsed convulsively.

Amber's figure appeared behind the monster, turning a poisoned steel dagger in each hand: "Poke chrysanthemums, I'm good at it."

Rebecca put down her staff, and her cheeks were slightly flushed from the continuous casting of spells. She took two breaths to calm her breath, and then corrected herself seriously: "Master Ancestor is talking about the lower back, not the chrysanthemum."

Amber quickly rotated the dagger in her hand twice, and she didn't know where the dagger was hidden by her. She stepped over the monster's body and pouted as she walked over: "Cut, there is no sense of humor at all."

After those monsters died, they began to disintegrate rapidly. The surging mud-like substances on their bodies first stopped flowing, and then gradually dried up and hardened, and a large number of tiny cracks appeared. Corrupted and dislodged, they swiftly turned into a giant, twisted, blood-colored skeleton.

Gawain stood next to the monster he killed, looking down at the process, as if to say to himself, "So it was these things that attacked Cecil's territory..."

Heidi looked at him curiously: "Ancestor, do you know the origin of these monsters?"

Gawain had already shown a deep understanding of these monsters in previous battles, and even gave Byron instructions on how to fight them, so naturally he couldn't hide it, and he didn't want to hide it himself.

"If you stay here, you may encounter them again. We will advance to the secret passage. There are things in the secret passage that suppress those monsters. They will not enter easily," Gawain said as he stepped forward, "I can follow the details on the road. you say."

After drilling into the ancient underground passage and advancing for a while, Gawain broke his silence: "I did deal with them back then—in fact, those were the things we mainly deal with back then. You should know about the collapse of the Gondor Empire and The history of the second pioneering, right?"

"Of course I know," Rebecca nodded immediately, these history can be said to be a compulsory course for her as a noble child, "More than 700 years ago, there was only one human kingdom in the Loren continent, and that was the Gondor Empire in the center of the continent. . History records that it was the most powerful empire on the continent at that time, and even the Silver Empire established by the elves in the southern part of the continent did not dare to be an enemy of it easily, but then the turmoil in the ether sea surrounding this world, in the Loren continent Triggered a cataclysm known as the 'Dark Magic Tide'. The flashpoint of the disaster was in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire - almost overnight, the capital of the Gondor Empire and a third of the country were swallowed by the magic tide. And disintegrated by the surging elemental power..."

"It didn't happen overnight, in fact, the process lasted for nearly a month - the court mages of Gondor did nothing in front of the tide," Gawain interrupted, and then motioned for the other party to continue. "But from the results, it's almost the same, you continue."

"Oh... oh," Rebecca blushed and said more cautiously as if she was being checked by her parents, "After that, the magic tide in the hinterland of the Gondor Empire continued to spread around, and eventually completely destroyed the entire country. , This is the collapse of the Gondor Empire. After that, as the etheric sea gradually calmed down, the power of the magic tide began to decrease, and the surviving Gondor survivors began to rebuild their civilization. It is no longer suitable for human survival, so they left the ruined empire under the guidance of a group of pioneers, and opened up in four directions in the south, south, and northwest, known as the second development in history. Ancestors, you are the most famous of the year. One of the pioneering knights."

"Well, the history is good," Gawain boasted casually, "Then you should have heard that even though the magic tide is over, the ruins of the Gondor Empire are still filled with a large number of monsters born in the magic tide. Monsters are one of the biggest threats to humanity in the second settlement."

Hetty's eyes widened: "You mean..."

"That's right, those were the things that fought with us back then," Gawain sighed. "They were born from the tide of magic and have the outline of a human being, but they are definitely not human. After the collapse of the Gondor Empire, a large number of such Monsters poured out from the ruined hinterland of the empire, and continued to spread in all directions, chasing and killing the survivors at that time, so the first half of the second development was not so much a journey of development, but a journey of escape. We broke away from the wasteland of the empire and established a new country on the edge of the continent. Those monsters have not stopped. They are still coming from the direction of the wasteland of the empire, frequently attacking the defense line of the civilized world... After the establishment of Ansu, the head of the country I've been dealing with them almost every day for ten years."

Rebecca's eyes widened, and she seemed to be deeply attracted by these ancient and legendary stories: "Ah, will those monsters no longer appear ten years after the founding of Ansu?"

Gao Wen smiled, reached out and stroked the girl's hair, showing a smile that looked at a silly roe deer: "Silly boy, your ancestors will die after that..."

Rebecca: "..."
