Who says knights can't backstab

Chapter 406 Giant Phantom
The torrential rain continued, and the wind howled. In the dark rain curtain, it seemed that the broken giant tree was blown up and rolled in the raindrops.

"What's in the rain..."

The voices of the elves could not help becoming hoarse. Although storms are rare, they are not without exception.

But the forest has never become so strange to them. Gruna's disappearing arrow made their hearts seem to be chilled——

What is hidden in this storm? !

The natural priest watched silently the arrow disappearing in the wind and rain for a moment, then turned sideways, looked at Gru who was returning the longbow with both hands, and said softly: "You can make an exception and count your achievements this time, Nuo Ra is proud of your courage and wisdom, and I admire your sense of nature."

However, Gru shook his head, and turned his eyes to the darkness in the distance: "No, the rules cannot be broken because of this." He paused for a while, and then whispered: "And he found the shadow wriggling in the darkness before I did." .”

The two natural priests were taken aback for a moment, and then turned their heads to look at Cyril who was still standing behind them, looking straight ahead, who seemed to be in a trance, with a bit of horror in his eyes——

That's right, they completely ignored that this half-elf boy actually noticed the strange situation in the forest earlier than Gru.

But Gru is a young elite of Clary's front line clan, what is the background of this half-elf boy?
--------

Every bit of sound was infinitely magnified in Cyril's mind at this moment. From the moment Gru raised his hand and raised his bow, the sounds that were originally transmitted to his ears by listening to the wind quietly changed their way. passed on to him—

It was mottled and flickering green light, little by little, bright or dark—he had seen this kind of scene more than once, for example, when fleeing from the beast tide in Judea Pass, Miss Misha’s The "Code of Nature" let him see such a scene.

So he knows what it is.

This is the vast forest beneath their feet.

This is... the resonance of nature?

Cyril guessed in his heart, and then let his consciousness rush to the green ocean.

Dense light spots piled up to form green light and shadows, they were wriggling and jumping, swaying in the strong wind.His eyes passed through it quickly, feeling them twisting more excitedly, like a dancing girl whose plump and white body was only covered by a veil, swaying her body because of the arrival of her master, Try to gain his favor.

But just when the dense green light was about to surround him, there was a deafening noise—click, click!Sila, Sila!The green lights screamed, sobbed and cried bitterly, and fled behind him in a hurry. He turned his head and saw the green light trembling, and the voice of grievance came.

And in front of him, it turned into pitch black at some point, with only a cyan light flickering faintly in it.

That shape... an arrow?

The arrow that Gru shot before? !

Cyril subconsciously wanted to urge his consciousness to lean towards the glowing arrow, but when he only advanced a few meters there, he felt a line of sight staring at him——

His consciousness seemed to be frozen into the frost for a moment, his whole body was extremely stiff, and layers of icy blue colors quickly climbed up the darkness in his vision.He gritted his teeth tightly and wanted to lean forward cruelly, but saw the direction of the arrow suddenly change——

Afterwards, his consciousness was swallowed by two deep blue lights.

--------

Cyril suddenly came back to his senses, his body was still trembling with his consciousness almost frozen, until he recovered completely, his consciousness began to receive the messages around him again.

At some point around him, there were four more natural priests wearing robes. The six priests stood in a ring shape at the front of the cliff, and it was vaguely discernible that their positions formed the prototype of a magic circle.

And the fact is the same, when Cyril stepped forward, he saw a yellow scroll spread among several people, and the thread woven by trees and vines connected the six people in series, a large spell It seems to be ready to go.

It seems that the background of the Temple of Nature allows them to respond to such emergencies in a timely manner.But it is clear that the natural priests are in trouble at this time - they did not start to gather magic power at this time, but instead held the elf bow Didus in turn:

"Can you sense it? Where is the signal left by Gru?"

"I can't sense it, let Maxi try it."

"No, we have the same level of resonance with nature, you can't sense it, and neither can Maxi."

"Then let Gru do it again?"

"His mental strength is no longer enough for him to do it again, don't you remember just now? His consciousness is almost swallowed..."

"Why does the phantom of the deep serpent Trigaon appear in the forest? It is a sleeping monster in the Adlai Sea. I need an explanation."

"Now is not the time to explain, Fede, now we need to find out where Trigaon is hiding? It blocks our perception of the forest—"

"Damn it, if it wasn't for the weather, you could see it with the naked eye..."

"Try again. If it doesn't work, we can only let the Pegasus Knights of the Yingpu Clan find it for us—are they ready?"

Their conversation was clearly heard by Cyril, allowing Cyril to understand the current situation in sevens and eighties.He opened his mouth and was about to speak when he heard another voice beside him:
"Are you awake? Half-elf."

He looked sideways, but saw an elf with blood-colored long hair sitting on the ground beside him, looking up at him at this moment, and then stood up with some difficulty: "Did you see that blue light. "

"You saw it too?" The blue light that almost froze his whole body immediately appeared in Cyril's consciousness, and at this time he already knew the name of the owner of this blue light: Trigaon, the deep serpent—although This name has never appeared in memory, but corresponding to its identity, it is not surprising that the sleeping monster of the Adelaide Sea does not appear in the current version.

And Gelu swayed slightly, shook his head and said: "I'm ashamed to say, I can't get close to it, I can't even perceive its shape, and it shattered my perception at a glance."

"So the problem now is, they can't lock the location of that monster?"

"That's right." Gru nodded and sighed softly, "And I haven't felt its spirit again."

Cyril turned his head and saw that the elves who were standing on the cliff before had retreated far away, and the sound of flapping wings and neighing of horses sounded at this time, and he saw a group of flying horses flying from the tree of life , and the one in the forefront is Aris—his golden-red long hair is like a flame dancing in the dark, and together with the red lance, it seems to be a torch held up in this turbulent wind and rain.

"Knights, our forests are being trampled upon, for Nora's honor—"

Aris' long shout has already sounded, apparently to boost the morale of the Pegasus knights behind him. If the phantom cannot be located, the next step is to let the Pegasus knights physically search for the location of the monster phantom .

But what is the difference between that and going to die?

Cyril took a deep look at Gru. The latter was still sluggish, but his figure remained upright. In those gray eyes, "One last question, the natural priests allow me to stay here as a half-elf, Is it because of you?"

Gru's expression remained unchanged, but he continued to say in his somewhat hoarse and low voice: "I only believe in natural selection."

"I understand." Cyril nodded slightly, then turned around and walked towards the circle surrounded by the natural priests.

"Respected priest." He bowed slightly to several priests who turned their heads, "Please allow me to guide the direction for Nora's glory."

"You?" The priest who came here immediately frowned, "A foreign half-elf, if Gru hadn't nodded, you wouldn't even be qualified to stay here. Go back to your clan for refuge—"

But before he finished speaking, he was here before. At this time, the natural priest holding a longbow in his hand said, "Maxi."

The priest immediately stopped talking, while the priest holding the bow looked at Cyril and said in a low voice:
"Half-elf, step forward."

Cyril took a deep breath, he bypassed the magic circle, and walked in front of the priest, who stared at his face, and then said:
"Half-elf, in the teaching of nature, Nora treats all living beings equally, and imparts nature to every living being fairly."

"Nora is fair and great." Cyril leaned forward, "And I also believe that Nora will not be stingy to resonate with every sincere believer."

"Do you think you are devout enough?" There was no change of emotion on the face of the natural priest.

"I think I'm devout enough." Cyril also looked at him unchanged.

The natural priest didn't make too much trouble, he took a deep breath, and then said: "Then, stretch out your hand—"

Cyril leaned back again. He watched the natural priest sincerely hold up the longbow in his hand, spread it flat on his palm, and handed it to his face. His slightly red and swollen eyes stared at the longbow, which was full of Fanaticism and piety.

The bow is close to the eyes, and the twisted lines interweave into delicate patterns, adding a bit of mystery to the ancient wood.On the pitch-black body of the bow, there is a faint stream of silver light on it.

Without any hesitation, he stretched out his hand and held it towards the bow.

And the moment his fingertips touched the bow, a blue light suddenly lit up, covering the entire cliff in an instant.

--------

The elves retreating from the cliff were talking about it, and when this happened suddenly, as elves, they naturally couldn't abandon it and go to "refuge".

Not to mention that the Yingpu clan has dispatched their Pegasus cavalry, which seems to imply that the power of the Temple of Nature alone is unable to prevent the extension of this unexpected situation.Now it is the Pegasus of the Yingpu clan, and they may need to come forward later.

Although they wondered why the half-elf had been standing there, it wasn't enough to attract their attention. The storm that crazily beat against the protective barrier outside the Tree of Life affected their emotions even more.

But at this moment, someone suddenly called out:

"The half-elf? How did he get up there?"

"Is he going to take Didus?"

"No, the priest actually handed it to him!"

They watched helplessly as the natural priest handed the longbow to Cyril.

"Your Excellency Saxon, look at him, will he..."

"What Gru can't even do, what can he do?" Saxon hadn't recovered from the weariness of archery before, so he could only sneer at this moment.

On the other side, Bernard of the White Pine Clan had already retreated to the back of the crowd, and gathered together with the few people who had been wearing the hood tightly, whispering.

If Cyril was in front of them at this time, he would definitely be able to recognize the armor of the Adlai Sea Guard under the robe.

Aris and Jenny, the two elves belonging to Axivan showed a little surprise on their faces, and then showed a look of embarrassment-it is too much for the elves of Axivan to see their "allies" make a fool of themselves Embarrassed.

"Adrien, what are you thinking..." Aris held his forehead, then raised the lance in his hand, and said loudly: "Everyone is ready, we—"

The Pegasus's snow-white wings had already spread, and all the Pegasus knights seemed to have seen the end of Cyril's failure, and they were ready for physical investigation.

But at the moment when the fiery red lance passed through the air, a bright blue light lit up between the natural priest and the half-elf on the top of the cliff.

Aris narrowed his eyes and saw the half-elf boy touching the fingertips of the longbow.

At the moment when his hand fully grasped the bow, the blue light immediately spread from his side, and quickly climbed to the feet of the elves——

"Is that natural resonance?"

"Look at our feet!"

The elves lowered their heads one after another, and then they saw in amazement that the turquoise light almost broke through the soil under their feet, and they almost squinted their eyes so that they couldn't even see where the light led to.

But then, they knew where the light was leading to.

It connects to the tree of life that stands in the wind and rain.

"No way..." murmured from the mouths of everyone at the same time, they all turned around and saw the giant tree glowing brightly from its roots.

Then a cyan beam of light lit up from the tree of life, and then penetrated the black sky.

The noisy sound of the storm dissipated in everyone's ears, and the gentle wind brushed their faces, lingering among the leaves.

"Nora, is this your glory coming to the world?"

Looking at the swaying green light in the sky, Meng Feila showed a knowing smile. The sudden gentle smile on his previously resolute face stunned Ivo, who didn't know why his captain was laughing. .

And the half-elf boy at the tip of the cliff has already erected his longbow, on the bowstring completely wrapped in blue light, the arrows are as bright as tomorrow.

Cyril turned his face slightly, the wind blew away his gray-brown hair on the sideburns, and the young face bathed in the natural wind made the priests stunned when they saw it.

"Sacrifice to the Lord."

He spoke, and the voice was accurately transmitted to the ears of several natural priests who had not yet recovered from the green light that filled the sky,

"Please bring down the glory of Nora."

After his words fell, he immediately let go.

The cyan long arrow turned into lightning that pierced the sky, piercing through the heavy rain curtain.

Straight to the dark forest.
