Chapter 254: The Iron-Leaf Tree, Never Withers (9)
Even in the face of Dylan's tough tone, Glori adjusted his mentality until it calmed down. However, when Glori saw Dylan's questioning eyes, he had to say coldly, "Dylan, we have to go." ”
Dylan stared at Glori, slashing his flaming sword across the board to stop everyone. "Princess Ruth is in charge of the Revival Legion, you should follow her!" he emphasized the last half of the sentence.
"Ruth?" said Glori, smiling, "I trust her, but I can't be on her side, for she, like you, has been blinded by Silver's intrigue. ”
"Dylan! we've grown up together!" Susan grabbed Dylan's sword-holding arm, her voice narrowing. Her voice was uncomfortable to listen to, like a pleading. When she noticed Dylan's unrelenting eyes, she slowly let go of her hand.
The blood on Susan's hands made it impossible for Glori to be silent. He pulled Susan behind him and stood in front of Dylan again.
Dylan stared at Glori, then scanned everyone with a questioning gaze, including Lord Xavier, whom he respected. Not only had he heard some bad news about Mochizuki City in the Glaive Cliffs, but he had also seen something he didn't want to see on the way here—a lot of bad things like what Dylan had said about the Messenger, all of which blamed Evan and Glory.
Confrontation, Glori and Dylan staring at each other.
Glori's gaze was unwavering, causing Dylan's tightly knit brow to fade. Dylan slowly withdrew the flaming sword, then took a step back. Dylan gritted his teeth and stood indifferently as he couldn't believe it completely, watching as the Glories entered the secret door.
"Dylan, thank you. Before Glorry entered, he turned his head and said. In fact, he would have wanted to pat Dylan on the shoulder as a sign of gratitude, not say this far-fetched word.
"I'll find out the truth of the matter. If you have fallen with Evan as rumored, then I will send you to the Land of Flowers with my own hands!" warned Dylan.
Glori smiled, looked up, looked at the top of the cyan masonry of the passageway, took a deep breath, and disappeared into the passage. He was not moved by disappointment, but by the fact that Dylan had always maintained his faith. He was relieved by Dylan's words: "Our faith has always been there!
Following Xavier's footsteps, Glori continued on. The passages are full of carvings, and they are finely crafted. With the help of the lights on both sides, Glori saw everything clearly—the woman with the flame of hope in her hand stood in front of the god of light, looking at the first knight who had departed. The carvings on the walls are repeated and extended into the depths of darkness, as if they are attacking something again and again.
When Xavier uses his magic to pull the trap he had set up earlier, Glori notices a strange thing - the final carving has changed. Glori looked at the Ironleaf Grove on the wall: the first Divine Knight stood in the forest north of Mochizuki City to face the overwhelming Black Dragon Riders, led by the Dark Moon Maiden and the Raven Prince.
"The woman with the flame of hope in her hand, this is a fabrication, but the first Divine Knight is exactly as depicted in the carving. In order to help the forces of the Moon God Kingdom evacuate to Fengmeng Mountain, he stood alone in the Iron Leaf Forest. He's an out-and-out optimist, but he's a man of the word. Xavier explained.
The woman holding the flame of hope in her hand is more like a warm family. Susan whispered. Although she said this only to explain, not to make everyone sad, it still resonated with everyone.
"Family, that's a thick word. All of us will miss this word. Glori smiled.
"Hmm...... I'm sorry," Susan tried to say something for comfort, "but that's why we kept trying......" She bowed her head silently, regretting her mistake.
Suddenly, Glori drew his sword and swung it at the wall on the right. He almost slashed the man's neck, but came to a steady stop.
"It's me! it's me!" shouted Job, alarmed. Then, he poked through the gap between the walls.
"Job, you're not a cat, how did you go through the crack in the wall like water!" Susan pressed her chest, soothing her pounding heart. But she said this deliberately, so that everyone could forget what she had just said about home.
"See, Susan will always be Susan, gentle and considerate. Xavier reassured.
Glori smiled at Xavier, then looked at the man leaning back under the sword.
"How are you?" Glori asked anxiously as he withdrew his sword, "What about Evan?"
"Evan, he's fine, waiting for you to help him. That damn magic door, softer than water, but harder than steel. Job complained.
"That's why Derek is hiding there, a retreat away from Kyle," Xavier smiled. He didn't know what else he could do to ease everyone's nerves other than humor. Caring for young people, he has always been.
"Owen Ramirez is the real Ironleaf Tree. We can only offer sincere respect," said Job, "but you must thank me too, or Evan would have been lying where you have passed." Especially, after Xavier, our revered Holy Mage, rushed out......"
"Of course, you deserve a compliment. Job was a good man. Xavier took a deep breath and said as easily as he could.
"So, what about my faithful servant Krel, where has he gone?" Xavier came back to his senses and began to wonder, "that black fog has messed us up. I remembered......"
Just when Xavier was in a hurry, another person who had come through the gap appeared.
"Your Excellency!" Clay shouted. He was disgraced, like he had come out of a fireplace.
"Sir, I've found you, I knew you'd be here! Thanks to my cleverness, I would have gone with these soldiers to look after the garden for the god of light......," Krell explained.
Xavier and the others looked at the crack in the wall that Krell was pointing to, and there were less than ten soldiers crowded inside.
"This wall, it's really time to be repaired, the crack is really big enough......" Xavier stepped forward. He hugged Krell like an old friend he hadn't seen in a long time.
Seeing so many people gathered together, Job was worried. Still, he smiled broadly and hugged the soldiers who had been squeezed out.
"Let's go? Evan is still holding on. Xavier let go of Krell's arm and admonished.
"Silver must be tossing in a magical labyrinth!" Krell smirked before following Xavier.
Glori followed, just walking behind. He noticed that his consciousness was becoming clearer, even though he had stayed up all night.
"It's almost dawn. Susan whispered to Glori. She followed Glori, and wasn't going to leave half a step. After his palace, then I will follow, she thought. However, the person he cares about most in his heart ...... Susan thought about it, and her mood became depressed.
"Bow your head!" Glori shouted as she tugged at Susan's shoulder.
Xavier immediately turned around and opened the golden light curtain to protect the people around him. The flying sword wave shattered when it touched the golden light.
"Ignore him, we don't have time!" Xavier said. He erected one magical barrier after another in front of Kaida.
Krell and Job took the torches from the wall and walked ahead. And Glori and Susan plan to follow.
"Aha, where do you want to go with my sword?" said Kaida in an excited tone. However, he had a serious face. Then, his cold words: "The one you love must be watching you, waiting for you to help her take revenge! And one of your enemies, that is, me, is here!"
Kaida wanted to provoke Glori with that kind of speech, and did.
Gloriden was stunned. He tried to catch his choked breath, but he still couldn't control his feet, and just turned around. Blue flames ensued, and the sword was re-held in Glori's hand.
"I still couldn't stop Glori. Xavier said to Susan reproachfully, shaking his head incessantly. He saw Glori swing his sword and run back to meet Kaida's first move.
"Don't you think it's ridiculous that our esteemed mage wants to isolate me with these seemingly barrier-free barriers?" said Kaida, striding forward.
In an instant, Pike emerges from the western wall, materialized by the black mist. He took advantage of Kaida to smash through the golden barrier and sent a black ray of light behind Glori.
"Susan!" Glori shouted.
Glori hurriedly turned, but Kaida's sword fell. He was struck to the ground, his armor scorched with black flames. And that black light was right in the middle of Susan. Luckily, Susan was dexterous, and when she turned her body, she only suffered a bruise on her right shoulder.
"Very well, if you want to decide the winner here, then I'll do what you want!" Glori was aggressive.
In the blink of an eye, blue flames flew. Kaida was even a man with a sword and was catapulted away.
Kaida laughed madly, her gaze always on the pale sword: "I'm already familiar with your flames. And isn't that what this flame is?"
"Hey, you can't just fight here!" Crel couldn't help but shout. When he looked at Xavier, he saw Xavier shaking his head at himself.
Glori knew what he needed to do. He just wanted to get Kaida into the labyrinth of magic, and he had done it.
"Damn, you'll regret it! This ridiculous trick won't trap me for long!" Kaida shouted. His voice came from the carvings on the walls.
Seeing that the master was gone, Pike was stunned, and his eyes almost popped out in a panic. He turned into a black mist, but he still took an arrow from Susan.
"Now, it's a tie. Susan breathed a sigh of relief.
"That little devil has finally tasted the bitterness. Lame, enough for him. Job pulled Susan up and said.
"Good, we'll be able to go to Evan safely. Xavier gestured to the corner ahead with his staff.
"Evan, you've got to hold on!" Glori calmed his breath, sword in hand, and looked around the corner.
At the end, it was pitch black...... The light of the torches cannot be reached. But at the end of this pitch darkness is where the people of Glori are going.
"Dylan, my dear friend. Do you know how many dark and treacherous roads we've traveled, and besides, haven't we all made it?" Gloriy meditated.
