Chapter 111 Reasons for Rejection
Due to Myron's identity and status, the lord of Hewan Fort specially sent the guards to the Redwood Village surrounded by heavy fog. That must be a very important thing.
Louis turned his gaze to Myron, the sage who summoned him seemed very calm, and it was difficult to tell the specific situation from his expression.
So Louis decided to ask directly. If Myron wanted to say it, he would naturally answer it. If he refused to answer, he would not want to say it. It was a very simple thing.
As expected, Myron did not hide it, and directly told him the real purpose of Daliusi coming to Redwood Village, or the real reason why Lord Sorensen of the River Fortress was found in Myron: "Lord Sorensen, I hope I can go to Hewan Fortress to help him build and maintain the defense tower."
"Defense Tower? What is that?" It sounds like some kind of military facility. I'm afraid it's a facility with mysterious power. Who is Hewan Fort going to fight?
Myron pointed to the torch in Daliusi's hand: "The so-called defense tower is actually an amplified and improved version of this magic prop. If several defense towers are arranged in several directions of the town, it can theoretically prevent the invasion of thick fog."
Louis understood the reason why the Lord of the River Bay Fort was sent to Redwood Village to risk his life. The River Bay Fort also faced the same threat as Redwood Village, so the Sorenson hoped to retrieve Myron back to the River Bay Fort and build that kind of defense tower: "Is there no caster who knows how to build a defense tower?"
"The trouble with this kind of defense tower is not about construction, but about maintenance and charging after activation." Myron did not feel impatient at all, and explained various situations to Louis in detail: "The defense tower is a magical facility that consumes energy very much. It requires a strong enough caster to stay and replenish energy for a long time to ensure that the defense tower runs for a long time."
Myron glanced at Dalius, sighed and shook his head: "If you want to defend against this thick fog, there is almost no possibility of the defense tower closing. Long-term operation is not only a burden on the defense tower, but the pressure on the caster who maintains and recharges is even greater... It is enough to squeeze the caster's life."
"And the most important point... the defense tower cannot really solve this crisis completely."
Myron's words seemed no big deal to Louis, but they attracted a fierce reaction from Dalius: "Myron, the defense tower is a good magical facility and can completely withstand the invasion of thick fog. The proof of my ability to come here smoothly."
The thick fog that Dalisi passed through with a special torch, the defense tower they discussed was an amplified and improved version of this torch. Since Dalisi was able to walk to the Redwood Village smoothly, it also indirectly proved that the defense tower could withstand the thick fog.
There was nothing wrong with it, but Myron just shook his head: "It's just that you have better luck."
"Sir, Master Sage." Dalius seemed anxious: "Are you going to watch the people in Hewan Fort be swallowed by the thick fog?"
"Of course not!" Myron shook his head. He came to Redwood Village specifically to solve the threat of thick fog?
But Dalius did not agree with Myron's idea. He already knew that Louis was the brave man Myron "finding" and he did not think that this guy was a powerful existence that could save the world.
Seeing that Myron had always refused to go to Hewan Fort, Dalius suddenly raised his empty left hand and pointed it at Myron. Almost as he raised his hand, a short arrow flew out of his cuff.
Because the two people were very close, the short arrow with amazing speed flew to Myron in the blink of an eye, and then suddenly stopped in the air in front of Myron's shoulders.
"I'm very surprised, aren't I? I've been on guard against such things for a long time." Since seeing this Dalius, Louis has secretly activated the leopard's speed. In this state, his reaction and action speed are very fast, enough to deal with various emergencies.
His secret defense did indeed work and successfully stopped Dalius's sneak attack: "Is it worthy of such a ruthless move just to reject Sorensen's invitation?"
Dalius did not argue, but instead Melen stretched out his hand to pinch the short arrow in front of him, and then overturned Louis's guess: "He didn't want to kill me, but to force me to go to Fort Hewan." Myron's finger was wrapped with a light light, as if he used some force to form a layer of protection on his hands to ensure that he did not directly contact the short arrow.
After noticing this situation, Louis also understood the other party's thoughts: "Use poison? Is this method useful to you?"
"It should be some special toxin that can be used to deal with me... Am I right? Knight Dalius?"
Dalius admitted very happily: "It is a special toxin configured by Master Angolo, specifically targeting powerful spellcasters like you."
"That guy Angolo knows to study these harmful things all day long." Myron briefly tested it and found that with the power he mastered, there was no way to remove or purify the toxins carried on the short arrow, or some strange power contained in it.
He found that in addition to toxins, it seemed that this thing was mixed with the power of curses. If he gave himself enough time, he might be able to study the ingredients and completely remove the toxin.
But if he was poisoned, he would definitely not be able to solve this problem in a limited time. If he wanted to remove the toxins, he could only go to Hewan Fort to find Angolo.
Myron then looked at the sword inserted between Dalius's waist, and he also sensed a similar force on the knight's sword.
Dalius, who noticed that he could not hide, said, "I offended!" and immediately pulled out the sword from his waist and slashed at Myron in front of him. His movements were very fast. It could be seen from the angle of attack that he did not want to kill Myron, but just wanted to cut or scratch the other party.
While attacking, Dalius was also paying attention to Louis next to him. Just now, Louis just reached out and "stopped" his short arrow. It seemed that this tall young man was not as insignificant as he thought at first.
Just when he was ready to change his moves at any time and wanted to see what methods this man named Louis had, he didn't see anything clearly. A stream of light flashed in front of him. Then he felt a lighter in his hand. When he saw it clearly, he noticed that only half of the sword was left in his hand.
Looking up, Louis had stood in front of him at some point and stood in front of Myron. The young man was holding a light blade in his hand. The streamer he had just seen and the strange weapon that he had cut off his sword.
“…”
Looking at the half-cut sword in his hand, Dalius immediately threw the weapon aside and pulled out the dagger from behind. However, the next second he felt that he was strangled by invisible force. The dagger that had just been pulled out of his hand also fell to the ground, and his hands instinctively grabbed the empty neck.
As the dagger landed, the feeling of strangling his neck disappeared, but he also lost the last chance and watched the dagger fly from the ground in front of him into the hands of the young man.
From beginning to end, he didn't understand what the other party was using. He was just a toy that Louis was fiddling with casually. This situation made him realize the huge gap between the two.
"Is this the brave?"
Louis looked at the dagger in his hand. He could also feel some strange fluctuations on the dagger. After fiddling with it for a few times, he also handed it to Myron behind him.
"Do you want to kill him?"
Louis didn't care whether this guy was merciful. Anyway, Louis didn't know this guy. For Louis, this was an enemy who suddenly appeared and wanted to sneak attack on his own people.
"No need, he has no way to threaten me after losing these weapons."
These weapons were unable to kill Myron. At most, they would slash him while he was unprepared and poison him, forcing him to go to Hewan Fort.
"I will persuade him to go back." Myron thanked Louis: "Thank you for coming to help."
"You're welcome." Louis could see that Myron asked Pope to call him over, with the purpose of letting him send Dalius. He didn't mind helping him, and at least Myron "saves his life."
When Louis and the others returned to their residence and talked about the various news they had just heard, when Myron came back, he learned that the Knight Dalius did not leave because he said that he could not persuade Myron to return to Hewan Fort, and he had no shame to go back to see the Lord.
"If he wants to stay, stay, and he was not ready to go back to Hewan Fort." That torch could only protect one person, and Dalius only brought one torch. Even if he persuaded Myron to agree to go to Hewan Fort, he could only let Myron set off alone and stay in Redwood Village to "wait for death".
For Dalius, this is a mission of going but not returning, and there is a higher probability that he will be swallowed by thick fog halfway through the way, so he will not be able to see Myron at all.
He didn't expect the final result to be worse: he finally survived the thick fog that made him tremble. When he saw Myron himself, he failed to convince the sage to return to Hewan Fort. This result would be better than being swallowed up by the thick fog halfway.
The topic did not stay on this knight for too long, and Louis was even more curious: Why did Myron so firmly reject Lord Sorenson's request and refused to go to Hewan Fort no matter what?
In order to defeat the Demon King, eliminate the crisis and save the world, Myron came to the remote Redwood Village, proving that he wanted to resolve the crisis in his heart. So why didn't he go to Hewan Fort to help? Does Myron have any personal grudges with the lord Sorensen?
Myron gave an answer beyond everyone present's expectations.
