Chapter 499
"They are enemies in disguise. Guards, attack them!" The Duke decisively gave the order to attack. Several people in black robes rushed out from the crowd and flashed their swords.
This was a gathering where most of the Saint Salvation Society gathered. If they found the Duke at any other time, it would not be as simple as the guards attacking.
"Wind Style." The Master's body trembled slightly. Steel Qi surged out and repelled the black-robed people who rushed over. He then said: "That stone statue is called Alkors. Those who are familiar with Her Highness Nala's deeds should know that Her Highness Nala had a follower named Alkors Druid, the successor of Steel Style."
"Some of you must know about him!" The Master was about to continue speaking, but his expression changed. His body twisted in an abnormal way and dodged a slender sword that was stabbing towards him: "Spirit Style."
The slender sword attack did not stop. Instead, it attacked the Master like a storm, not giving him a chance to speak.
On the other side of the stone statue, there were many people attacking, seemingly wanting to take away the stone statue.
Although the Duke did not understand the intentions of these people, he knew very well that his plan did not need these things to interfere with it. Since it was not needed, then eradicating them was the right thing to do.
"Taking out a stone statue and calling it the Knight of Alkors, and using this method to attack the gathering, this is blasphemy, blasphemy against Senior Alkors, blasphemy against Her Highness the Saint. Even if the stone statue is real, your actions have disturbed their peace and should be eradicated!" The Duke spoke slowly, trying to settle this matter.
Unfortunately, the people who came this time were beyond his expectations. Another voice took over the Master's words.
Xu Yao descended from the sky, supported by the airflow around him. His voice spread to the surroundings without any hindrance: "When Her Highness Nala sacrificed herself to save the world, the heavily injured Knight of Alkors chose to follow her and turn into a stone statue. This matter has been passed down and cannot be faked."
"A sound-type ability?" The Duke frowned. The other side had brought a lot of masters this time, and some masters on the side of the Saint Salvation Society did not choose to act immediately because of the reputation of the Master and Alkors.
"And now, we have a way to revive the stone statues." As soon as Xu Yao finished speaking, a bottle appeared above the stone statue and landed on it. Golden blood flowed out, and a trace of hot smoke rose from the stone statue, attracting everyone's attention.
The Duke's expression changed, and he quickly understood the other party's plan. He secretly mobilized his power, but it seemed that it was too late to stop the other party, so he could only prevent the situation from spreading further.
As the dragon blood flowed on the stone statue, there was a cracking sound, and cracks appeared on the stone statue. Scorching eyes also fell on the stone statue. Although some of the leaders of the Saint Virgin Salvation Society were ambitious people with ulterior motives, most of them were admirers of Nala. They were blindly paranoid and easily led by others, but when it came to matters involving idols, they were more shrewd than anyone else.
If Arcas could recover from the state of a stone statue, then could Her Highness Nala do the same? She was a living Saintess!
The surrounding guards had no choice but to slow down their attacks. Many of them were the Duke's personal forces, but this was a Saintess!
More and more cracks appeared on the stone statue, and eventually, a layer of its skin broke off. Alkors' body fell forward, only to be caught by Ah Qiang. His confused eyes scanned the scene around him and whispered: "I … where am I?"
"Pure Interkam accent!" Some people who studied the history of the Flame Age excitedly exclaimed. When people hoped that something would succeed, they would subconsciously look for evidence to prove that it would succeed, even when there was no evidence, they would make up the evidence in their minds.
This was also the reason why so many scams were successful, because those who were scammed hoped that the bait was real. They would ignore all kinds of abnormalities and then imagine all kinds of reasons for the appearance of the abnormal bait.
Of course, the fact that Alkors could be revived was true, so 'evidence' was quickly found.
"His sword is indeed the style of that era, I've collected it before"
"The pattern on his armor is indeed the emblem of Her Highness Nala's troops"
Alkors held his head that had just woken up, listening to the chaotic and unfamiliar words around him. Some of them he could understand, but others were completely different. After a thousand years of development, the language would naturally change as well.
However, he could still understand some of the words, with the name 'Her Highness Nala' being mentioned the most. His gaze finally fell on the stone statue next to the fire.
"Your Highness!"
"Knight Alkors, you have been in a stone statue for a thousand years, now is the time for you to awaken" A strange Interkam phrase entered his ears, causing Alkors to look at the newcomer, the young man with the vicissitudes of life in his eyes.
"We plan to awaken Her Highness Nala, and we will need your help for all of this"
The battle had stopped, and the Duke's expression had also changed to one of doubt, excitement, and doubt, no different from the other worshippers of Nala.
"Her Highness Nala!" Alkors' thoughts were still stuck on the pillar of light that shot into the sky, so hearing such a sentence as soon as he woke up had a huge impact on him.
Inside the secret room of the Duke's castle, the pitch-black figure was quickly moving back and forth before quickly finding his target, the dragon skull that still exuded a sense of pressure. Just as he was about to pounce forward, a sword nailed itself in front of him.
"Sure enough, once you discover that dragon blood can awaken the stone statue, you will find a way to destroy the dragon skull" Huang Mao leapt out and landed next to the sword. Some parts of his body were wounded, from which various glowing treasures could be vaguely seen.
Sakura, the Ghost Knight, and the others also fell to the side. It was thanks to them that they had the opportunity to pass through the blockade and enter this place.
Seeing that it couldn't be done, the shadow directly dissipated, but Huang Mao didn't relax his vigilance. Bai Zixi's death had reminded him that he absolutely couldn't die here, so he became completely serious.
As for what exactly Yellow Hair's source ability was, very few among the apostles knew, but his main fighting strength was as a tool type, nurturing all types of tools within his body, solving the problem of not having enough compatibility between tools.
Of course, some people guessed that Blondie's ability was due to his spermatozoa, which allowed him to block out the sensation of pain. Otherwise, it was hard to imagine that a pervert like him wouldn't have such an ability after stuffing so many items into his body, feeding them with his body, and occasionally detonating these items that were connected to his bloodline.
As the commotion of the gathering gradually subsided, the Duke joyfully apologized to Master Xu Yao and the others, saying that he had misunderstood and didn't expect them to have a way to awaken the stone statue.
Alkors was also slowly adapting to this information, his gaze was complicated as he stared at the stone statue of Nala next to the bonfire.
Back then, he resolutely decided to use [Respiratory Art] to get close to Nala and petrify with her, but he didn't expect that the next time he opened his eyes, it would already be a thousand years later, the Interkam Kingdom had fallen, and even the era had changed.
The Grandmaster explained what happened. Because to study the Bone Forging method, the first thing to study was the various schools of [Respiratory Art] of the Flame Era, for which the Grandmaster had learned the language of the Flame Era.
After Alkors understood, he also found a way to prove his identity, because there was actually a descendant among the crowd, through the genealogy and bloodline verification, his identity was confirmed without a doubt.
"We've also brought the main materials for the awakening. Presumably, for the sake of Her Highness Nala's awakening, the Duke wouldn't be stingy with this piece of dragon skull!" The Ghost Knight carrying the giant dragon skull appeared in the crowd, making many people even more convinced of the authenticity of this matter.
The Ghost Knight also had a good reputation, he didn't stand up with the Grandmaster earlier because his reputation wasn't exactly on the good side. The Ghostmen were the subordinates of the King of Evil, so the Ghost Knight standing up at the time would only be counterproductive, but now, when the majority of the people believed him, his reputation would have a positive effect.
"Of course not, it's just that when you're making the awakening serum, we'll have to observe to ensure the safety of Her Highness Nala's awakening, there shouldn't be any problems with that!" the Duke smiled and spoke in a very impartial manner.
Xu Yao received the dragon skull, a light began to flow in his hand as he began to extract the remaining substance from the skull.
Xu Yao's [Origin] ability was called [Devour], which allowed him to devour the abilities of other things, and the so-called extraction was a process of using his own control over the ability to interrupt the subsequent digestion process to complete [Devour].
When the golden dragon blood that carried a thick dragon's might was extracted from the skull, most of the people present only had a single thought in their minds.
