Chapter 7: Right Way or Fall?
Oct. 30 at 9 a.m.
"You're leaving the city?" said Chief Dinott in surprise as he was ready to go, as he was carrying a larger and heavier package on his back, as if he was going on a long trip.
Carmon replied calmly: "It's not to leave, just to go out and relax for a while, this time is too depressing here, I want to go out for a trip and let go of my mood." "This is not a good thing, as for your brothers, I will always keep an eye on it, you can go with confidence, I will contact you as much as possible if something happens." ”
Of course, Dinott knew that the reason why Carmon visited him before he left was not to worry about the four brothers who were in the city. After receiving Denot's promise, Carmon set out on the journey with peace of mind, but he still lied and deceived Denot.
This time, Camun is not going to travel, but to find an ancient god, this journey must be a trekking through mountains and rivers, the road is difficult, just the journey of Carmon will take ten days, and you have to overcome the environment of a special area.
Carmon withdrew a large amount of money from the bank in order to eat and rest as he passed through the town on the way, and when he was about to set foot in dangerous areas, he paid to hire guards to protect him through dangerous areas, after all, Carmon was only a mortal, and a man of letters, without any means of self-protection.
Kamon, who was neatly and cleanly dressed when he went out, was already disheveled after arriving at his destination, but he didn't have time to take care of his image, because in front of him, it was already a point of no return, and if he didn't succeed, then he wouldn't be able to go back, because... The entrance to the temple of the Elder Gods is right in front of you.
Carmon first took off the backpack he was carrying, and took out from the backpack a bracer guard, a leg guard, a silver short knife, a short crossbow, a short crossbow quiver, and five or six crossbow arrows, and after fully arming himself, Carmon reached out and pulled off the tattered coat that was draped over his body, and under the coat was a piece of leather soft armor that Carmon had already put on.
After making all the preparations, Carmon used the method of archival records to open the door of the temple, and because it was too dim inside, Carmon took out the light lantern prepared in advance, and made his surroundings 5 meters extremely bright. Within 20 meters you can see the environment.
Camon held a lantern in one hand and a silver dagger in the other, ready to deal with the guards who came out at any time, walking and walking, Camun felt that he had walked into a larger hall, because the surrounding walls and ceilings could be clearly seen in the corridor, Camun raised the lantern high, and still could not see the height of the ceiling, but it was clear that this was indeed a large hall, and even the walls were frescoed.
Carmon walked over to one of the walls and began to look at the murals, and strangely enough, in these murals, the characters in the first row are the same, and the characters in the second row are different in the first row, but the characters in the second row are all the same, and then the third and fourth rows...
However, these murals have one thing in common, that is, there is a person who appears in all the murals, but the scene is different every time, although Carmon does not understand the deep meaning of these murals, only knows that it is roughly a scene of this person fighting with different people and ethnic groups, and this person sometimes wins, sometimes loses, and sometimes bursts out with strong power, and sometimes he is beaten to the head.
Just as Carmon pondered the meaning of these frescoes, a voice suddenly came from the other side of the room, and Carmon quickly turned around, lowered his hand with the lantern, raised his hand holding the silver dagger, and gradually began to walk slowly towards the place where the sound came.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew through Carmon's back, and the brightness of the lantern in Carmon's hand decreased significantly, but when Carmon turned around, he didn't find anything.
Camon slowly crouched down, put down the lantern in his hand, and took out the 'Repeating Crossbow' that had been 'loaded' at his waist, and the other hand kept holding the silver short knife, and then slowly stood up, Camon's eyes were always vigilant around.
When he was on his feet, his left hand was stretched out to the side and he held the crossbow, his fingers on the 'trigger', ready to shoot, and his right hand bent and holding the silver dagger parallel to his left hand, ready to defend on both sides. Carmon's eyes kept looking left and right, vigilant to his surroundings, and his feet spun slowly in place, near the dim lantern, staring at the darkness around him.
Suddenly, Camon quickly turned 45 degrees, pressed the 'trigger' with his left hand, and fired a crossbow arrow, but before he pressed the trigger to shoot, his left hand was shot up as fast as possible, and the arrow hit the ceiling, and the lantern on the ground was also overturned, the light became even more dim, Camon could only see clearly, the person who grabbed his left hand was taller and stronger than him, but he couldn't see his face clearly.
Carmon's left hand couldn't break free, so he could only choose to raise his right hand and stab at the wrist of the person who grabbed his left hand, but, just when the short knife was only 0.5 decimeters away from the person, the short knife suddenly froze, no matter how hard Carmon tried, he couldn't continue to stab, it seemed to be blocked by something invisible.
And the person who grabbed Kamon's left hand turned his head to look at the short knife that Kamon stabbed at his wrist, and then Kamon only felt a strong breath rushing towards him, and he was repelled seven or eight meters, and his short knife had been thrown out, but fortunately, the short crossbow was still in his hand.
After the man repelled Carmon, he had been standing near the lantern position, and even if Carmon was in a dimly lit place, he could still see the man. Carmon immediately stretched out his right hand into the crossbow quiver on his left waist, and pulled out a crossbow arrow, loaded it into the crossbow as fast as he could, and fired quickly.
But the man only turned sideways a little and dodged the shot, but Carmon did not stop, after sending the first arrow, he immediately changed the short crossbow to his right hand, and used his left hand to grab the arrow in the crossbow quiver, and in less than 1 second, Carmon shot the second arrow, but the man still turned sideways to dodge.
Carmon didn't intend to stop, he directly took out two arrows and quickly fired the third and fourth shots, but this time, the man did not turn sideways in advance, but stood still in place. Because Carmon's shots are tricky and fired almost simultaneously, the interval between attacks is less than 0.2 seconds, and no matter how sideways that person is, he will be shot.
Just when Carmon thought he had succeeded, suddenly the man burst out of power and bounced the two arrows directly out of thin air, and Carmon could also feel a faint wave of qi rushing towards him, but he didn't have time to take care of it, and immediately reached out to get the crossbow arrow, but just when he took out the crossbow arrow, the man quickly rushed towards Carmon and grabbed Carmon's neck.
The man's strength was very strong, and he directly lifted Carmon by the neck, Carmon felt that he was about to suffocate, his hands suddenly lost strength, and he discarded the crossbow arrows and short crossbows, and then the man threw Carmon out and threw it aside, and after Carmon fell to the ground and rolled a few times, he lay on the ground, panting for breath.
But suddenly, Carmon heard the sound of metal colliding, Carmon thought it was the sound of a sword unsheathed, just when Carmon was holding his hands on the ground and just wanted to get up, he found that a long sword had been placed in front of his neck 0.1 decimeters, as long as he dared to move, the sword would immediately pierce his throat.
"You, why did you come here and kill yourself?" the man finally spoke, and his voice was dull, like that of a very old man.
"I am, Count of the Kramer Empire and third heir to the Zagoro family, Carmon Zagolo. The man put away his sword, and Carmon slowly got up and answered the man's question, but the man seemed indifferent.
"Name, just fiction, Carmon. You must know that in this world, others will not dare to touch you because you have enough fame, this world is a world where the strong are respected. ”
"Of course I know that an empty name will only suppress those who fear it, but a noble name does not mean that the strength is the same, Ksumofi. ”
"Seemingly, you know me. Kamon said the name of the man, who was one of the ancient gods who had been sealed here, Quesumofi. "Now that you know who I am, why did I come here to die?"
"Do you want to get out?"
This sentence shocked Cousin, for thousands of years, no one dared to set foot in this place, not even close to it, and this weak mortal in front of him actually said what he had always wanted to do.
Seeing that Tsumofe didn't speak, Kamon had a score in his heart and continued: "I know that no ancient god, whether it is an ancient evil god or an ancient god, cannot leave the place where they were sealed, and the temple of the ancient god was established thousands of years ago, which means that all the ancient gods have been sealed for thousands of years. ”
"You, a mortal, want to save, me?"
"Of course, there are conditions. ”
Once again, Csumofey raised his greatsword and placed it on the right side of Kamon's neck, "I, why should I believe you, a useless mortal!" "Because I, like you, am full of hatred in my heart, but there is nowhere to vent it. ”
Carmon's words once again stimulated Csumof. "The paintings on the walls are your history, like every temple of the ancient gods, which records what you did before you were sealed, and your story is like a tragic story, constantly fighting, constantly waging conquests, but sometimes succeeding and sometimes failing, sometimes outbursting and sometimes falling. ”
"You, have read my experience?"
"Your power is very unstable, I'm not wrong. When your power is in full swing, you will not be weaker than any of the ancient gods, but when your power does not burst, you will be like a lion in front of a wolf pack, with a terrifying appearance but no combat power, once the opponents you have fought with see that you have not exploded strength, you will be suppressed by them using the power of the masses. ”
Csumofey slowly put away his sword, and then Csumofey burst out again, lighting up the entire temple, and Carmon finally saw the person in front of him clearly, although his voice was old and old, he looked like an adult who was only a dozen years older than himself.
"You should know the rules of this continent, right? Do you dare to risk your identity and become the target of the whole world's want?"
"No one will know what's going on here, and I'll leave behind my identity and the past, including my family. ”
"Then who are you going to deal with, who are you going to take revenge on?"
"Fallen man. ”
After Carmon said this, he was greeted by a burst of laughter from Csumofe, "Fallen people, you tell me an ancient evil god, degenerate? hahaha......" Csumofey continued to laugh at Carmon's ridiculous thoughts, but after laughing for a while, Csumofey stopped, because Carmon's eyes, since he said this, have not changed, and have always been so determined.
"Are you serious?" Csumofey asked curiously, "Why?"
"For the beauty of the world, for the sake of my name, for all that I care about. You don't really want to become an ancient god, it's just that the path of war has forced you down this path, and the power you can't control can inadvertently hurt the people you care about, your people. ”
"Hmph, if it weren't for this burden, this double-edged sword, how could I be defined as the notorious ancient evil god? Among the ancient evil gods, few of them have a good reputation, and even if they do, they are covered up by those evil. ”
"If you help me, I will wash away your notoriety in my own way. When I'm done with my work, my body, under your control, you can do whatever you want, and I'll have no complaints. ”
"Not bad conditions, but you have to be clear, even if I possess you, my explosive power is still uncontrollable, and you don't know any spells, once you use my power, your body will slowly be eroded by the power of the ancients, once you are completely eroded by the power of the ancients, even if I don't control you, you will lose all your consciousness, and at that time, you can't do it if you don't want to be controlled by me. ”
"Of course I know, but I just want to deal with that group of people, unless I have more strength than them, I can manage to fight their other two strengths. ”
"Heh, is it not enough to win an opponent with strength alone? ”
