Volume 2 The Golden Covenant and the Dispute Between Shennuo Chapter 55 Underground Mechanical City (7)
The place where the passage was going to be, appeared in front of the eyes of Glori and his friends. And the bell is clearer.
"Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell ......"
The bell rang so crisply, not hurriedly, just right, as if a person carrying the bell was slowly approaching the inside of the gate.
No matter who the owner of this bell is, it is a malicious existence. Not just Glorry, but all the companions saw the black mist pouring out of the crack in the gate.
So, Glori and his friends were ready. Glori drew his sword first when he heard the sound of gears turning on the mechanical door - the door gradually opened, and the mechanical gear wall became clear with the light that drilled in.
Suddenly, a pair of emerald eyes shimmered, causing Glori and his friends to stop. This was followed by a "click" sound, which went straight to Glori.
Finally, Glori and his companions saw the face of the bell's owner.
The owner of the bell relies on four flexible mechanical legs to run. She made a left turn and showed the armor-clad half of Shennuo in front of Glori—her armor was covered in ancient Shenno spells, and the spells were connected with gilded lines, making the dark green armor look like a net. Before Glori and her friends could react, she spoke.
"Look, a few hairy children have actually broken into the palace of the Silver Guardian!"
Before she could speak, she cast a green magical light from her eyes. A warning line, which isolates both sides in this way. This made Iris take a few steps back with her legs shaky, and it didn't frighten the other partners, especially Glori—if you want to move forward, you have to go through here, Glori knows.
"Defensive formation!" Glori said directly.
In the blink of an eye, Dylan walked to the front of the group with his shield raised, while Glori, Will, and Bradforzes spread their wings, and Irreth and Zoe were in the middle.
The Silver Guardian then looked at the "guest" in front of him and spoke in human language.
"Ahem, you've been the first guests to visit here for two thousand years. Where did you come from?"
The Guardian carried a spear and walked back and forth in front of Glori's group. Just as Glori was about to ask a question, she saw the King's Pendant.
So, the Guardian asked in the ancient Shennuo language, "Ah, that's the King's Heart Pendant! Is the current King of Shennuo?"
It seems that the Guardians are always quicker to react than Glori and his friends. Just like Glori, who wanted to ask a question, before Wei could answer, the Guardian observed with the green flame in his palm, but the green flame flickered and disappeared.
Gudian's magic was gone, and the Guardian grieved, but was forcibly dispelled by the glow of the two gems. So, she twisted her face to show her clenched teeth, and leaned her upper body forward - she struggled because she couldn't express her sadness, and even broke the emerald with her hand.
This scene frightened Irris, and she didn't dare to look at it directly. As soon as she stepped back, she felt the hidden power of the cyborg Shennuo in front of her because of the unintentional amplification of the magic fluctuations. How could her magic be so powerful, even higher than any Shennuo I've ever seen. With a shudder, Iris grabbed Dylan's arm.
"Don't be afraid, Irris. ”
Dylan pulled Iris behind him. He had wanted to threaten the Silver Guardians, but King Shennuo had already stepped out of the ranks.
"I am the third king of the kingdom of Gudian, W. Toby Grace!"
Wei pressed the pendant and stepped forward, his waist straight, his tone sonorous and powerful—his voice echoing throughout the hall.
At this point, the Guardian bowed his head in despair, trying to keep his hand from holding the silver spear (the black mist was spreading over the Guardian's hand, devouring her little by little), and then moved his pale lips.
"Poor Goodian, in the end, died in the royal feud!"
Because of this name, it triggered Wei's thoughts and questions.
"Are you Giffany Moore in the annals of history? ”
Will looked at the Guardian again, to confirm. As a result, he recognized the silver spear with a craftsman's hammer engraved in the middle of the shaft - it was Giffany's sidearm.
Seeing Wei looking at the silver spear, Ji Fanni lowered her head again and looked at Wei with pitiful eyes.
"Yes, I did have a sacrificial ceremony. ”
As for the sacrifice, it is as Giffani said. In the Age of the Gods, in the face of Bryson's Order Legion, the kingdom of Gudian was defeated one after another, and even the city of Redrieve in the Land of Ruins was destroyed. Giffany didn't want to see her beloved king doomed, so she sacrificed herself to enhance Gudian's magic.
Hearing this, Witten paused. Why is there no mention in the annals of the Gudian Kingdom about Ji Fani becoming the guardian of silver? Of course, Wei was a little confused.
"The history books faintly write that 'Gudian's lover disappeared on that day'. So you're his lover," Wei pondered, letting his guard down, and holding his chin, "but sadly, how did you become the Guardian of Silver? ”
"There is no record?'s lover has become a guardian, how can Gudian have a way to tell his people?Under the royal conflict, he has no better choice, he must let the gods who are loyal to him protect this place. As it happens, the sacrifice took place at that time, so the Silver Guardian was born. ”
"Yes, that's because he hides everything under his cover, and soul retention is taboo. The gods who participate in the soul preservation ritual will be tormented forever, including the great god no. If the Strong family learns that King Okino is cursed, they will take the opportunity to overthrow the rule of the royal family of Grace. ”
In fact, she concealed the sacrifice. When Gudian realizes that his magic has become powerful, he realizes that the person he loves is gone, and then he takes the risk of secretly activating the Soul Preservation Ritual, storing Giffany's soul in a cyborg body.
Giffany's tone was low, and she never looked up.
For a while, she wanted to go to the land of flowers, but she couldn't. Because she has to guard this place and fulfill her mission. And she knew that Gudian had to do this, and that it would be difficult to find a guardian in the family who would completely reassure him - he couldn't involve Rangers outside the royal family, could he?
This matter is very difficult for Gudian, but at least Ji Fani can live in this state. Therefore, after struggling for a long time, Gudian made a decision - not only to keep Ji Fani alive, but also to protect the combat power of the Gudian Kingdom.
Thinking of this, Ji Fanni gritted her teeth.
"So, no matter what, I'm going to have to guard this place. From an accomplished craftsman to a loyal guard of the kingdom of Gudian, he always watches over what is behind me. With the exception of King Shennuo, no member of either the Strong royal family or the Grace royal family could enter the place. But, just now......"
Suddenly, Giffany stopped talking. She shook Glori to her left and looked at Wei again.
"In that case, the second king, Damon, is your and Gudian's child. And I'm the third king......" Wei frowned.
"But in spite of this, you must take me down here. Only through here can you get where you want to go. I could have let you go, but I can't help it. ”
Speaking of this, Ji Fanni raised her head. Then she continued, "Child, do you see my hands? This black mist is engulfing me, and time is running out. ”
As soon as the words fell, Giffany stood her silver spear on the rocky ground. Her jeweled eyes, sometimes glittering, even made the green barrier on her armor dissipate.
In the same vein, Wei never forgets. While he was imprisoned, the loyalists who guarded the left and right defended the knight's dignity with their lives in the black fog - unwilling to be controlled by dark magic, they each killed the other with their swords. He then left a few lines on the walls of the prison to praise the loyalty of the knights.
"Darkness can swallow the storm, but it cannot shake the loyalty of a knight. ”
After a brief moment of thought, Wei let out a long breath. When he looked up, Giffany was already stretching her arms and waiting for it to end.
"She's going to let us finish her off. Wei said, shaking his head.
When Wei hesitated, Gratney's voice filled the hall.
"Yes, you've got to finish her, or how are you going to get the Golden Covenant? or...... You're all lying here, watching me take the Golden Covenant away! The Order King, you've been looking for it!"
Where the hell is this self-conscious guy hiding?Will looked at Glori, and Glori understood what Willy meant.
Wei didn't want to hurt Ji Fanni, and wanted to directly grasp the culprit who was going to cause a tragedy. Knowing Will's thoughts, Gloriy silently took a small step back of the group, then moved his left hand behind his back. He gently clenched his left hand, letting the powdery starlight dust fall.
After a while, starlight dust drifted all over the hall. Glori uses Stardust feedback to rule out places where Grateney will not appear.
"Where is he? Is he hiding in the shadow of Giffany, or is he hiding in some dark corner of the hall. Could it be that he would hide between the gears in the wall?"
"No, he's right there!"
Glori shouted inwardly and swung his sword above his head. He directly split off the corner of the relief on the ceiling.
The shards of the relief fell in unison, and Glori pushed Wei and Dylan away, only to see the relief smashing into the place where they had just stood. At that moment, the winged demon relief with its left shoulder cut off broke away from the ceiling and swooped down with its teeth and claws. Then Glori swung another sword at the top of his head, shattering the gargoyle-like relief.
Then, the black mist attached to the relief flew away from the scattered rubble. It turned into a web, like spider silk netting the ceiling, turning all the reliefs into living things.
