Volume 2 The Golden Covenant and the Dispute Between Shennuo Chapter 45 Dark Shadow
Glori had never forgotten about the Covenant. However, he had to participate in the ceremony of honoring the dead last night. After that, he also participated in the celebratory ball, but he kept himself in a daze in his seat - and even tried to get himself drunk with alcohol.
Luckily, after a few drinks with the prince, Glori put down his glass and fell asleep. He knew he couldn't be confused by sadness, and he didn't want to be confused.
Now, Glori walked through the petal-strewn streets of Fengyan City to the garden to the north for his morning exercise. Just as he thought of his compatriots who had been oppressed by the order, he heard Zoe's greeting.
"Hey, Blue Star, that's what the people of the Misty Swamp call you, right? Don't look sad like that, you should be like your best friend Dylan to find interesting things, or take a good break and enjoy the life around you. ”
Zoe holds a bag of Magic Rose nuts. She continued, "Do you want to eat one?"
Zoe then uses a dagger to peel off the red shell of the Magic Rose and gives it to Glori, which looks like a walnut. But Glori refused, saying, "Thank you very much, but I want to practice swordsmanship." ”
Despite what Glori said, he smiled at Zoe. He didn't want to amplify his grief and pass it on to anyone around him. He felt that there were things he had to fight on his own, and there was nothing else, like the countless dangerous nights he had ever had.
For such a dangerous night, Glori was relieved because of Yvette, and he did not dare to relax because of Yvette. He would try to be half-asleep at night, listening to the sounds of the inn. He was afraid that something would go wrong with Yvette, who lived in the next room, because he had been asking for clues about the God of Light - he knew that Kyle, the King of Order, was also looking for the God of Light, so he had to mention Kyle, the King of Order, for his men.
Thinking of this, Glori stopped. He turned around and said to Zoe, "I have to get stronger, and I can't stop." So, can that Magic Rose help me stay until after my morning workout?"
"Of course, you just have to be careful with Dylan. He's a guy who eats good food when he sees it. Besides, I don't want to help you keep an eye on him, and I don't want to mess with him, because Iris thinks about it. Zoe smiled.
Then Zoe glanced at the Magic Rose Nut on the rock fence, as if she was worried that something was going to happen. I must have thought too much, she thought. Then, she shrugged at Glori.
"You saved me and Iris during Mary's sacrifice ceremony, and it's a formal thank you, though a bit ...... Well, don't forget this Magic Rose, I'm going to have to go find Elris...... She was given a deputy to take care of the sick and wounded. Zoe said.
"I'll remember this Magic Rose, thank you. Glori said.
With that, Glori took a deep breath. Zoe took a deep breath and hesitated.
"When the prince ascends to the throne, we can go to the Machine City to look for the Covenant. So, it's not good that you're always like this without relaxation. Those bad guys are not shadows, they have to eat and sleep. And this is Fengyan City, you don't need to be so nervous. Zoe reminded.
"Yes, the prince will soon become the king of Shennuo, and everything will be fine. ”
However, Glori notices that something is wrong, just as Zoe's figure disappears behind the Magic Rose Tree. His heart, which had been hanging in the air, was worried again—he sensed a dark magic because of the pain in his right abdomen.
Glori knew that something that affected his magic was dangerous, so he put away his sword.
"I need to get out of here...... "Glori's face turned pale from forbearance, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
At that time, Glori hurriedly climbed over the rocky fence of the garden. He looked down at the sky, and it happened that the clouds were covering it.
"Yvette, I'm not comfortable with you not around. Now, it's coming up again, only this time I'm on my own. Glori said.
As Glori gasped and ran, he felt his body start to grow heavier - just like in the past, Glori's magic was draining, and his stamina was affected.
A few more steps forward, Glori stopped. He pressed on his right abdomen. He wanted to regain some strength in this gap, and find a place to avoid the streets.
After a glance, Glori found a narrow path. He had to step into the shadows and isolate himself.
And just like that, Glori kept going. He was relieved when he noticed that the raindrops were falling, because he had found an opportunity to pass through the gates of Fengyan City.
Waiting for the street to become quiet, Glori put his hood on and tightened the tether of his cloak. He tried not to let his painful expression be discovered by the guards at the city gates, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Yvette, I'll be able to do it. ”
Glori told himself that he could get through it, and ran up the streets until he ran out of Fengyan City. He went all the way south.
Soon, Glori was hallucinating. He could see the dark shadow in front of him, and he could see the black shadow open its mouth to speak, but he couldn't hear the sound.
Glori tried to read the shape of the dark shadow's mouth to make sense of everything. But in any case, he couldn't read it, because they didn't speak a language he was familiar with. And those dark shadows are all waving at Glori, and some are even forcing Glori.
Glorius shook his arm, causing the shadow to retreat from the blue flames. Then, he thought about it for a moment. He had never figured out the origin of these dark shadows, only that it had something to do with the curse on his right abdomen. They always appear from time to time, and this time they appear after an interval of a year.
Suddenly, a dark shadow made an inviting gesture to Glori. He held out his hand and pointed to the distance to the south.
So, as before, Glori walked towards that side. He wanted to be sure of one thing. Sure enough, everything was just as Glori had thought, and he saw the besieged City of Miracles again. As he took a breath, all the past slowly appeared ahead.
Glori couldn't understand the reason for this encounter, only that his magic had been draining. He had to try to calm down and reminisce about the time he spent with Yvette.
Faced with such a situation, Yvette will reach out from the darkness. And now, Yvette isn't by Glori's side.
Glori wanted to see Yvette and take a step forward to avoid the sadness that would arise from the thought of Yvette. He knew his oath to Yvette, and he was entangled by it.
"Forward, forward......"
Gradually, Glori frowned. He drew his sword as he had done before, approached the shadow that invited him, and delivered a fatal sword—this one, straight through his throat.
"Dragonfire!"
Glori roared, but was surrounded by a distorted black shadow, and the black shadow that had just been slashed by the sword became two more.
In any case, only swing the sword. Glori knew, so he wiped the sweat from his eyes and swung his sword again.
"I knew it was you guys who thought you could knock me down like this?"
Glori roared again, even forgetting that he had moved away from Fengyan City to an even darker place—a towering depression that cut off the lights of Fengyan City. He knew that these guys would not let him go, and they would wait for an opportunity to pull themselves into the darkness.
What would happen if the shadows were pulled into the darkness? Glori didn't want to know, and he didn't want to know. The only thing he knows for sure is that these dark shadows will make people see painful pasts, which can make people feel down, and then terrible things happen.
An altercation, it's a small thing, but what if it's a killing? There have been people who have been affected by things that resemble these dark shadows before, and Glori has seen them—the unconscious guys, attacking those who show up with all sorts of things. He knew he had to dissipate all his uneasiness. However, there was only one way, and that was for him to knock down the black shadow in front of him.
In order to defeat the Black Shadow, Glori raises his sword and sets off a blue storm. The storm was ferocious, but it only tore off a layer of sand from the high slopes to the south.
That's when Glori realizes that she's neglected the loss of her magic because of her emotional instability. He breathed heavily, letting all his magic condense on his sword. At the same time, the dark shadow pushed him into the illusion of stepping into the City of Miracles.
Then Glori saw the figure being carried on a stretcher - he was holding the book "The Ebel Era", but he could not stand up as it was written!
Anger gradually rose from the depths of Glori's heart, so much so that he let the waves of his sword fly. And the sword waves flying indiscriminately caused the southern slope to be occupied by pits. But what's the use of that?
Glori was exhausted. He looked down the slope to the south and saw the image of the Golden Covenant fading away. Glori had to keep going, he wanted to see what else was going to happen.
To Glori's surprise, he saw himself fall in the city of Giffany, and the shadows around him had become the knights of Fengyan City—they were all surrounding Glori and pointing their swords at him.
"This scene is undoubtedly intimidating me......"
"I know that everything in front of me is an illusion, but I just can't dispel these dark shadows that make up illusions......"
Glori was disappointed. He wanted to call for help, but he couldn't. If he stepped into Fengyan City with these black shadows, it would cause a catastrophe, and it would disrupt today's coronation ceremony. Those who are not determined will be easily drawn into the darkness by the shadows and lost in their own state of mind.
After a turn, everything was back to square one. Glori always had to rely on himself to get rid of the illusion in front of him and prevent himself from getting lost.
In fact, Glori was a little confused. He had even forgotten what Lolaika had said - how could Lolaika deal with the injuries to Glori's right abdomen, so how could she deal with these dark shadows of unknown origin?
At this point, Glori inadvertently took a step forward, only to find that it was an abyss. He plunged his sword into the rock, hanging himself in the air.
After a false alarm, Glori noticed that the shadow had disappeared into the darkness as the clouds cleared. Glori doesn't know why the shadow disappeared like this, but he's glad he didn't bring it into the city. He climbed up from the edge, but a bad feeling flashed through him.
"Is the sight of Giffany City I just saw real......
