Chapter 243 Abandoned Library (7)
Danica stood at the entrance of the stairs on the second floor and looked at the scene in surprise. The ground and the walls were covered with blood, and the ground was filled with dead bodies. It seemed that she had just experienced a cruel battle.
Danica looked back and saw that the stairs from the second to third floors were still so old, full of traces of time, but after passing this door, everything inside was very new, the tables, chairs, bookshelf were all new, and the corpses on the ground were also "new", and the bright red blood was even flowing.
Danica hesitated for a while and walked in. A pungent smell of blood came towards her. A special breath was emitting in the air, as if standing on the top of a snow mountain, the feeling of a cold wind like a knife hitting her face. This is a battlefield. Although the scale may be relatively small, it is indeed a battlefield. Danica has experienced many travels to the mainland, but she has not been to the battlefield in person. This is the first time she has experienced this feeling.
Just as Danica was immersed in this special atmosphere, she suddenly felt a warning bell in her heart. She subconsciously lowered her head, and a sharp arrow wiped her head and shot over. When Danica raised her head, she found that the scene around her had changed again. On her left hand, that is, on the side near the stairs, there was an army of rangers and magicians. The rangers were in front of the magicians, and although there were less than a hundred people, she could also feel the stern military wind. On the right hand was a group of druids. The druids who specialized in mechanics had transformed into beasts, and behind were druids who were proficient in natural magic.
Danica stood in the middle of the two teams.
Danica suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body. Isn’t she looking for death while standing here? There is no place to hide from the front, back, left and right. Fortunately, she had not taken off the gloves yet, so she jumped with all her strength and climbed onto the ceiling.
Just as Danica jumped off the ground, sharp arrows and magic were handed over together, destroying everything between the two armies. Whether it was the tables, chairs and bookshelf, they were quickly destroyed by sharp arrows and violent magic. In a moment, it was really a short moment. Hundreds of bookshelves and dozens of sets of solid wood tables and chairs in the entire hall were all turned into wood chips. The protective array arranged on the bookshelf did not support it at all, even if it was 1.1 seconds. The precious magic books were scattered everywhere, and the magic books that were still broken in the air turned into white paper pieces, falling down like snowflakes.
Danica was really shocked. This is war, this is the destructive power of war. In normal times, people are involved in interests and emotions, and they have to worry about anything. Especially, people like Danica, who claim to be smart, always want to find the most favorable route for themselves in the complicated clues. But on the battlefield, these calculations and bonds are gone. The soldiers in front of them only retain their only idea - kill the enemy! How much damage is caused, how much things are destroyed, or how precious the destroyed things are, are not what they need to consider. They only have pure killing ideas. When these wills of killing gather together, they form the unique killing intention of the army.
In less than a minute, the three-wheeled arrows had been shot, and the druid, who turned into a beast, rushed to a place less than ten meters in front of him.
After all, this is in the building, with limited space, and both sides are densely formed, which is particularly conducive to the lethality of bows and arrows. The beast druids left more than a dozen companions on the way to charge, but most of them were not dead yet, but they just lost their ability to move. However, the only thing they could do after losing their ability to move on the battlefield is to wait for death. If they survive by chance, it would be a gift from God.
Seeing the beast druids rushed over, the rangers threw away the longbow that they had been carefully maintained on weekdays, drew out the sword and small round shield, and charged in the opposite direction. In this confrontation, the beast druids had the upper hand. The druids, who turned into beasts, gained the impact force at high speed, can already be comparable to the heavy cavalry. Looking at the equipment of those rangers, the equipment on them may not even be considered heavy infantry. Danica saw a ranger waving the sword in his hand.
A bear claw slapped over, his whole head was broken, and red, white and yellow were flowing all over the ground. The same thing could be seen everywhere on the entire front. These rangers could not resist the charge of the beast druids, and could only rely on their flesh and blood to force them. Fortunately, the powerful magic gave a helping hand in time, and most of the thunder and lightning behind the rangers were magicians with powerful power such as the elemental system. Compared with the natural magic that the druid specializes in is slightly insufficient in destructive power.
Danica climbed on the ceiling and witnessed the war with her own eyes. In just a few minutes, nearly half of her comrades on both sides died here, but the intensity of the war did not decrease at all, and subsequent troops continued to replenish them. The library hall on the second floor was like a meat grinder, crazily harvesting these lives and flesh.
It seems that this fierce war will not stop for a while, but Danica can't bear it anymore. She is now leaning on the ceiling in a very uncomfortable position. She is not a gecko, so it is very difficult for her to maintain this position. But the fierce battle below filled all corners of the library hall. Danica really has no place to hide, and she does not think that the war in front of her is a pure illusion. Whether it is sharp arrows or magic, it contains powerful spiritual power and has real lethality.
Just when Danica was about to hold on, everything in front of her disappeared, and the hall on the second floor returned to the way they first came in. There was no difference between rows of bookshelves, some messy tables and chairs, remaining books, and even footprints on the ground.
Danica was stunned for a moment, but she fell down first, moved her wrists and looked around. There was no one or ghost, and the whole hall was empty.
Such a drastic scene change made Danica a little confused. At this moment, a voice came from behind her: "This is a fierce war that happened here five thousand years ago."
Danica turned around and sat a heroic girl on a chair behind her, the one she and Phyllis met in the room on the third floor. But now the heroic girl looked sad and said in a sad tone: "Thousands of heroic druids died in this library at that time. Every inch of land here had the bodies of compatriots lying long, and every inch of the floor was soaked in the blood of compatriots." Just by the number of people, the scale of the library battle was not very large, but especially the two sides of the battle were professionals, and most of them were mid-level professionals. Such a large casualty was already terrible. No matter in any corner of the world, a war of thousands of intermediate professionals would definitely be recorded in history.
Danica was secretly shocked. She is worthy of being an elves with the foundation of the Elf Empire. The number and quality of professions she owns are a terrible number. It is unique to have so many professions that can kill in a rebellion.
Danica understands her feelings and melancholy about the heroic girl. After all, many druids died here in battle, but what does this have to do with herself?
The heroic girl was silent for a while and suddenly asked, "I didn't feel her breath. Did you kill her?"
The heroic girl said it was vague, but Danica knew what this sentence meant. The "she" refers to the tall girl. Danica said, "I thought you would be happy."
The heroic girl smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, I should be happy. After all, we are enemies, but how can I be happy? Our previous relationship was so good. Because of this huge change, we had to draw our swords to face each other."
The heroic girl's words were filled with endless sadness, but... it had nothing to do with Danica. Although she felt a little dissatisfied, Danica still said tactfully: "I remember she said something that it is very painful to be a ghost. In this way, you can think she has been relieved."
The heroic girl was silent for a moment and said, "You are right. The feeling of a lonely ghost is really bad. It would not be a sad thing if she could get eternal tranquility. After all, we should have died five thousand years ago."
"It's best if you can think like this." Danica said with a smile, "Okay, let's not chat anymore. My companion and I are separated. I have to go find her."
Seeing Danica leaving, the heroic girl said, "Are you interested in the huge change that happened to the elves five thousand years ago?"
Danica asked back, “Why am I interested?”
The heroic girl said: "That is the biggest change in the elves in tens of thousands of years. It has a profound impact on the situation in the entire Katic continent. If you want to do anything special in the future, you'd better understand this."
It makes sense to say that the heroic girl is quite reasonable, but why did she say that, why did she hope to get these messages? Danica, who is cautious by nature, has to consider this issue first.
After weighing it, Danica said, "Well, your reason convinced me, can you tell me what happened five thousand years ago?"
Danica thought the heroic girl would take the opportunity to put forward some conditions, but unexpectedly, she agreed happily and said, "Okay, I can tell you... But where to start? Otherwise, start with this war that took place in the library. Do you know why the druid attacked here?"
The heroic girl's very stiff twist made Danica feel a little funny. She sat on a chair and asked, "Why? As far as I know, although it is very important to the Magic Academy in this library, it is mainly because the collection of books in it. For the elves, this place does not seem like a strategic place." Danica cooperates very well, which is also a very good way for people to chat happily.
The heroic girl smiled and said, "You are right. This place is indeed not important in terms of geographical location, but there is a secret hidden in this library, which concerns the safety of the Elf King's Court. It is precisely because of this secret that the Druids had to occupy this place. Only in this way can they fully express their demands."
Danica retorted in time: "I know the power of the Elf Court. I don't think a secret will cause the Elf Court, which has many high-level professions to collapse."
The heroic girl was stunned for a moment and said with a slightly wry smile: "You are right, this is an obvious fact, but why..." She spoke lower and lower, and in the end she couldn't hear clearly.
After sorting out her mood, the heroic girl continued: "You are right. This is an obvious fact. Of course, a secret cannot destroy the powerful Elf Court, but at least it can make her pay the price, and this price is something that the Elf Court cannot bear."
Facing Danica's puzzled eyes, the heroic girl said in a meaningful tone: "Five thousand years ago was an important time node for the elves. It was not just the conflict between the Druid Sect and the Elf Royal Court. This series of upheavals can even be traced back to the collapse of the Elf Empire and the rise of the Magic Empire, which was eight thousand years ago."
Danica listened with interest. What are the notes, travel notes and other things about the Elf King Court? No one will explain it to you if you want to ask. It is rare to have such an opportunity.
After a light click, the heroic girl pulled the topic back and said, "Of course, that's a long time ago. Let's talk about the offensive and defensive battle in the library." The heroic girl's words "long-lasting" is for her. For a girl of her age, what happened three thousand years ago can indeed be called a long time ago, but the tragic war that took place in the library is what is close to you.
Danica asked: "Which side won this library's offensive and defensive battle?"
"It was our druid who won." Although it was a victory, the heroic girl was not excited. She sighed and said, "But the price we paid for this victory is too great. Too many druids died here."
"But at least it was a victory, and that was enough for the soldiers," said Danica.
The heroic girl said, "Of course, I believe that those brave and fearless druids are not afraid of dying in the battlefield, but there are always people who need the efforts and benefits of this war..." Feeling that she was saying the wrong thing, the heroic girl changed the topic absurdly and said, "Okay, let's not say that much. In short, the druid won the victory and got the secret hidden in the basement of the library."
