Chapter 1082: The Breath of Life (I)
At first, Ed thought it was a magical artifact—perhaps an artifact that could create wind, after all, water could be stirred, fire could be kept, and a gust of wind could be captured.
However, when the black-haired and old-looking woman spoke in a deep voice similar to that of Taiyi, there was a vague picture in his mind, as if he had seen with his own eyes that the wisp of wind was locked in a crystal carved box, changing different colors and forms in different weathers, the gloom and fury before the storm, the languidness and lightness of the sunshine, the song being sung in early spring, and the warm, golden color in midsummer......
He had heard, he had seen...... I don't know when and where.
The temple carved out of the rock was cold and damp, and after staying for a long time, the cold invaded the body, and even the joints ached. But he knew that when the wind was here, it wasn't here. At that time, the wind will pass through every deep corridor, every windowless room, with the moistness and saltiness of the sea breeze, with the warmth and warmth of the sun, and with the fragrance of flowers outside the door......
"It's not just the wind. The old man said, "That is also water, and light, and life...... It is the breath of God, who created all things. Legend has it that it was the god of the sea who personally gave it to our ancestors......"
The old man sat cross-legged on the ground, his low voice spreading out like water waves. Tay leaned against her, and the obvious attachment was like a child who couldn't live without his mother. When Ed came back to his senses and noticed the strangeness in it, the old man who was supposed to be the previous queen smiled slightly.
"You found out?" she said, "I am Taiyi, this is my daughter, Lin Mi, if there is anything wrong with her words and deeds, please forgive me...... She's just a kid. ”
Ed lowered his eyes in disdain. He's still not good at hiding his emotions, especially when he's out of his guard.
Yes, this place is not comfortable to stay in, but there is an inexplicable sense of familiarity, and even the breath of Taiyi, the old man, makes him feel very close.
He suspected that he had been here in the past...... or in the future. But Taiyi's pale amber eyes are like the windless sea under a clear sky, clear and transparent, yet deep and quiet, and nothing can be seen.
Iss frowned slightly. His eyes could easily see through any disguise, but he couldn't see through the magic on Lin Mi's body. Even if she's special...... Of course, he could feel that, just like Rhy, she and her mother were whisperers, even much stronger than Rhy, but their strength was not strong enough to deceive his eyes.
"It's not a spell. Tai Yi looked him in the eye, a little amused and a little worried—could such two young men, who could see through it at a glance, really be able to resist the storm that was approaching him?
"We've grown fast. "It's aging very fast, and that's ...... Some kind of price. The queen of Rainbow Bend Island has always been like this, so we rarely appear in front of people, and it is the owner who really rules the island, and we are just some kind of symbol...... and the Guardians who had to hide. ”
She was already able to face this calmly, but Lin Mi's body stiffened slightly uncontrollably. She is indeed still young, but she does not understand the sorrow of aging.
Ed opened his mouth, not daring to ask their real ages. He thought of the white crow, the female mage who maintained her youthful appearance at all costs, and he could imagine how unbearable the "price" of such rapid aging was. If it's all for that wisp of wind...... Losing it is even harder to accept.
But here and now, sympathy is an insult.
"We'll get it back. He blurted out, but Tye shook her head.
"Once that gust of wind is released, no one can take it back. "More importantly, you should know what it can do." If it does fall into the hands of the Nine Toes......"
Like the sweltering air before a rainstorm and the watery winds, even if sealed in a crystal box, the gusts of wind have some kind of prophetic power. Over the years, the Brie people of Rainbowbend Island have avoided many disasters, even when the pirates raided them suddenly decades ago...... It's just that the disparity in power is too great.
"We never really 'used' it. "That's not something we can control." It's just that we've been hiding here for so long that we've come to think that the secrets we're guarding have long been unknown. Even knowing that the world is changing...... Even if it feels like a cracked gem that may shatter with a single blow, the long-term loneliness still makes us lose our vigilance. ”
The originally tightly guarded was not just an empty and useless formality. However, it wasn't the blue flames that didn't affect the defenses that didn't affect the defenses, but the magical power that Ed flowed through the island. When the wind that once filled the area suddenly weakened, they were aware of it. But how exactly they lost it, they didn't know - they didn't see the shadow of the enemy at all.
Ed finally understood where Lin Mi's inexplicable hostility came from, but he could only smile bitterly. Obviously, they didn't think he meant it, but he was still ...... Once again, it was taken advantage of.
"Whoever can find this place is likely to know its true power......" Tye continued calmly, not trying to comfort him, "after all, if it's just to predict the future, its omen is actually very vague, and there are so many things that can be done better than it." But nothing creates life like it...... A soul, a true life. ”
Because it was God's breath—Ed thought, stunned. The gods created the spirits in their own images and then breathed their breath into their bodies, which were empty of bones and flesh and blood, and thus possessed souls.
He had heard of this since he was very young. And the human beings who were created after the elves have in their souls more free and wild will of the world itself, so that compared to the elves, human beings are more unscrupulous, savage, greedy and difficult to control...... This passage was seen in the library of Icabold when he was in the Temple of Collins.
But he couldn't think of a nine-toed ...... Or Oylan, what are you going to do with that breath of life? In particular, according to Taiyi, it will most likely only be used once.
So, to resurrect someone?
His heart moved, remembering the strange relationship between Oi and Joan, the blonde girl in Oylan's writing, and his dedication to life and death, even without relying on necromancy...... He did steal an artifact just to resurrect an important person.
But Nine Toes won't. Even if he didn't know him very well, Ed could see that the friend he had betrayed in the past probably only cared about himself.
- Would he ever want to resurrect the shadow dragon he had made into a ship?
