Volume 2: Ruins of the Ancient Gods Chapter 5: Ballads
Lorain City, inside the tavern.
"I have something that I'm sure you'll be interested in. The hooded old man spoke.
"What is it?" Chen Mo asked.
"I'm sure you'll be interested in the secrets of the Abyss Invasion, right?" said the old man.
"The secret of the Abyss Invasion?hehe, how can you be sure that I will definitely be interested?" Chen Mo smiled slightly.
"Just listen to me.
When I was a child, I once heard a nursery rhyme, 'The night will rise, the wind and clouds will be frightened, the twilight will end, the night city will come, the seven ghosts will go to the west, the abyss will open, the things will be lost, the three sides will be fixed, the public opinion will change, and the new enlightenment will finally come, and the time will return.' ’
At the time, I thought it was just a strange ballad, but I didn't pay much attention to it.
It wasn't until later that the abyssal aura suddenly erupted in the village, as if the remnants of the Abyss Army had run into the village, and its corpse exuded an evil aura that infected our domestic animals and turned them into evil abyssal degenerates that ran into the streets and wreaked havoc everywhere.
Later, when the lord came, he took his private soldiers and dismounted from us.
Moreover, he also invited the people of the Holy Legion to purify the abyss qi of our village.
In order to repay him, of course, there must have been a trace of youthful impulse at that time......"
......
"Little one, what are you doing with me?"
At that time, the leader of the Wild Wolf Gang was still a young man with a slightly stout body.
"I want to follow you......" Little Lar raised his head and looked at the leader of the Wolf Gang at that time, with a serious expression.
"Hey, you little fellow, do you know what I'm doing?" the leader of the Wolf Gang at that time grinned and showed a very terrifying smile.
"Yes. Little Lal replied imposingly.
"Huh. The gang leader smiled: "Little guy, you better go back to accompany your family, the hair hasn't grown yet." ”
"I don't have a family. Little Lar shook his head.
"Uh......" The gang leader couldn't help but be stunned and sighed: "Okay, then you can come along." ”
......
"After that, I joined the Wolf Gang, followed them into Loland City, and gradually established a world of my own in Loland City.
At that time, the child of the old gang leader was born. And I suddenly realized that ballad at that time, because I saw a terrible thing in the little gang leader, it was a monster with seven faces, and that familiar breath, the breath of the abyss!"
......
"Helper, look, what the hell is that little helper?!" Ral shouted, his expression frightened.
But the old gang leader just smiled: "Laer, what are you thinking, what can there be, it's just my precious son, hahaha." ”
As he spoke, he picked up the young Natila at that time, and Natila was also harmless to humans and animals at that time, as if what Lal saw was illusory.
At first, Ral thought so, until later, during a mission, the phantom swooped down on him and left a curse on him!
Accelerate aging!
That's why, later, Natila always called Lal Grandpa. Even though he is younger than the gang leader, his lifespan passes three times faster than the average person.
But what frightened Ral more than this was the phantom.
"No, I'll have to find a way to get that illusion under control!" Ral decided.
So, after that, Lal kept applying to the old gang leader, hoping to become Natila's butler and part-time teacher.
"Helper, I hope you will agree to my request. ”
In the end, as the affairs of the gang became more and more, the old gang leader finally agreed.
......
"While taking care of Natila, I was also looking up the source of that ballad, and this investigation also opened my eyes to a whole new world......
Speaking of this, the old man, that is, Old Ral, raised his head and looked at Chen Mo: "Just like you, Chen Mo Lian." ”
And after hearing this name, he couldn't help but shrink his pupils: "I didn't expect you to check so carefully." “
"Hehe, no, it's just that history, the pen and ink you left behind are too thick. Old Ral smiled, and then continued his story: "I found out that this ballad is from a mysterious prophet......
At this time, Lao Lal sang the nursery rhyme again: "The night will rise, the wind and clouds will be frightened, the twilight will finally go, the night city will come, the seven ghosts will go to the west, the abyss will open, the things will be lost, the scenery will be completed, the three sides will be fixed, the public opinion can change, and the new beginning will finally come, and the time will return." I don't know about the ones in front, but the Seven Demons have already arrived, or rather, they are on their way to come......"
At this time, Lao Lal looked at Chen Mo again and said, "My time is running out, I will hand over this information to you." ”
At the same time, in the depths of his eyes, a little ghostly light flashed.
———— memories end.
Time comes back to the present.
At this time, Chen Mo and Etia had already left the capital of the Blackstone Kingdom for a day. Now they had come to the outer area of the ancient god ruins, a place full of desolation, and the ground was covered with ruins.
"It's so quiet around here. Aetiyah said.
"Of course it was quiet. Chen Mo replied: "Those who are not quiet are dead." ”
Hearing this, Aetiya couldn't help but give Chen Mo a roll of his eyes, this guy, is he talking so directly?
However, the fact is indeed as Chen Mo said, those who are not quiet have died a long time ago.
In this place, silence is the most terrifying.
Of course, it also depends on who is right.
"Be careful, there's movement. Chen Mo suddenly spoke.
At this time, Etia also felt it, and her heart was vigilant.
It's getting closer......
"Hiss~"
With a strange cry, a massive myriapod emerges from the surface and sprays corrosive venom in all directions.
But these venoms are blocked.
Then, a flash of light and shadow flashed, and the myriaped was cut off by Chen Mo and fell to the ground.
Etia added another fireball technique, and directly burned the myriaped that twisted and twitched on the ground into flying ashes and completely dissipated.
"How many times?" asked Aetia.
"I don't know, it's been quite a few times anyway. Chen Mo replied.
Fortunately, on the periphery, these demonic beasts could not pose much of a threat to Chen Mo and Etia for the time being.
"Then let's get on the road. ”
"Hmm. ”
Gusts of black wind blew through the place where they walked, rolling up layers of sand, revealing the dry bones beneath that seemed to be corroded again.
In addition to this, there is a stone block.
It can be full of words, the words of the ancient gods, which read: In the realm of the gods, the trespasser is dead!
And not far from here, a team of well-equipped adventurers stepped into the land.
"I'm coming. ”
In the middle of the procession, a young man in a gray robe and hood spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
A wisp of wind blew, and you could see a few strands of white hair floating out from under the hood.
"Prophet, where are we going now?" asked one of the sword-wielding guards in the group.
The young man raised his hand, pointed ahead, and said, "Go this way." ”
"Good. The sword-wielding guard nodded, waved his hand, and led the group forward.
They are adventurers who have come here to collect materials.
Don't look at this place as barren, but as long as you walk through this barren land, in front of you, there are some "oasis" like jungles, in which, there are some special products, which are very tempting for magicians from the outside world.
So, every time the team has a free time, they come here to try their luck.
But today is different, this time, they have invited a prophet, and it seems that he can do a big vote.
Thinking of this, the walking speed of these adventurers also visibly increased by a few points.
And ahead of them...... Ahead, Chen Mo and Etia had also come to the inner circle of the outer area of the ancient god ruins at this time, and on the way, they also vaguely saw several jungle shadows in the storm.
However, since their goal is not here, they simply ignore it. (It's a big deal)
"Finally here. Chen Mo spat out a turbid breath.
At this time, the "Permanent Pass Permit for the Ruins of the Ancient Gods" in their storage bags was also emitting red lights, as if to remind them that they were about to approach the inner area of the Ruins of the Ancient Gods at this time.
Once you cross this line, it's really a matter of life and death.
Because in front of them is the ancient temple, that is, the true location of the temple of gods at that time, and it is also the abode of the gods, even if they are dead, but their remaining power has been affecting this area, making all the objects in this area, including living things, have "divinity".
"We may die, but my soul will never dissipate, never!"
The last roar of the old god before he died seemed to echo in his ears again.
"Let's go. ”
"Hmm. ”
......
"What are you doing, little Natila?"
Inside the Grania, Natilla was sitting alone in the room, his expression constantly changing.
If you look at it from the perspective of the second person, you will find that this scene is so weird!
"Little Natila, who is little Natila?" an angry expression.
"Little Natila is me!" said a happy expression.
"Who am I?" sad expression.
"I'm Natila!~" Natila's expression was terrifying.
Cold sweat left from his back.
What the hell happened just now?!
It's like schizophrenia, a person, divided into several different roles, communicating with himself, it's too weird, it's too terrifying!
"Who the hell are you?!" roared Natilla.
However, there was no response.
Then, he could only clutch his head and scream weakly.
When did I start to be like this? he thought.
Is it after seeing Krabi, or ...... When that door opened.
What the...... Time?
His consciousness was blurred again, and this time, he himself unconsciously sang a ballad: "The night will rise, the wind and clouds will be frightened, the twilight will end, the night city will come, and the seven ghosts will be terrible...... Hehe... Hahaha!!"
Outside, another thunderstorm sounded.
Boom –
With that heavy rain, drifting down.
