44 The White Tower Hanging Upside Down (3)
Xia Xingzhou's elbows were supported on his knees, and at the moment he was sitting on a floating broken bridge, one end of the suspension bridge had just left a smaller suspension bridge, and it was from which suspension bridge Xia Xingzhou jumped onto this suspension bridge.
On the road leading to the upside-down White Tower, there were countless suspended bridges, and Xia Xingzhou felt as if he was playing a game called Super Uncle Marie, jumping from one bridge to another.
Finally, he jumped to the castle, but instead of the princess, he rescued the severed arm of a long-dead man.
Thinking about Xia Xingzhou like this, he has no motivation, how good it would be if he went to rescue the princess, holding a sword and riding a white horse to save the princess, although this kind of bridge is old-fashioned, but he still likes it very much, he really wants to be a prince with explosive force.
Although he is really a prince, and a veritable eldest son of the emperor, he cannot save the princess.
When he was young, he always thought that one day when he grew up, he would become a powerful sentinel, protect his mother and younger brother, and even surpass the legendary emperor Xia Lin, and establish great deeds, which was the dream of every bloody man, and he even thought that if he became an emperor, he must stand at the top of the palace, wave to the people, and must also stand on the hovercar to review the imperial army.
As soon as he speaks, there are countless voices that respond to him.
However, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is always the opposite.
He became a guide.
In the Xia clan, the guide has no inheritance.
His dream of becoming a legendary emperor was shattered, and he had to leave his mother and brother to live in isolation at this holy guide school.
So at that time, his dream became to find a dashing female sentinel, to be her guide behind her, and to help her break into a legend.
But in the end, when the list of sentinels with the highest match with him came out, even this simple dream was shattered.
"Hey, what a tragic life!" he sighed, thinking about his wonderful and great life, all ruined because he was a guide.
Xia Xingzhou sat on the suspension bridge, stood up again and patted the dust on his hands, because the next suspension bridge was close, he took two or three steps back, and then stopped, his center of gravity leaned forward slightly, and he exerted force under his feet, and accelerated his running, just at the closest moment of the bridge, Xia Xingzhou jumped up and jumped onto a larger suspension bridge.
He looked back and saw that the two suspension bridges were not completely connected to each other, and there was a black abyss four or five meters long between them.
Xia Xingzhou complained to himself: "If I were a sentry, it would be estimated to be fifty meters, and it would be a pity that such a potential sentry became a guide!"
Now the door of the upside-down white tower was in full display before him.
In front of the bronze metal giant door, a huge nine-headed dragon coat of arms is carved, and the coat of arms exudes a sense of ancient desolation.
The nine-headed dragon coat of arms here is far more elaborate than on the metal box containing the head, and the carving of the golden dragon's eye on the door is almost lifelike, like a real dragon's eye.
Nine pairs of golden vertical pupils stared at Xia Xingzhou with great solemnity, and Xia Xingzhou even felt that they were judging themselves.
And he didn't seem to be wearing a single piece of clothing in front of this huge nine-headed white dragon relief, and even his soul was seen through.
They were high up, slightly lowering their eyes and looking down at Xia Xingzhou, as if they had stood here forever.
"Ulysses, you didn't object to me coming here from the beginning, did you?, so now, it's your will that I came to take your arm, right?" Xia Xingzhou said to the nine-headed white dragon crest, his voice full of respect that even he himself was not easy to detect.
The large metal doors revealed a bronze hue that was covered with a layer of cyan rust and a layer of dust.
Just after Xia Xingzhou finished saying this, the sound of the ancient metal gears turning slowly sounded from the dark abyss, and the dust fell in a plop.
Xia Xingzhou really wanted to wonder what era this tower was built, and how old it was to use the technology of gears to open the door, and the sound of the heavy gears turning in the darkness vibrated his eardrums, and at the same time echoed in the entire space.
It was as if he heard the sound of the gears of fate beginning to turn, creaking and creaking.
Xia Xingzhou's eyelids jumped slightly.
At this moment, the huge bronze door carved with the coat of arms of the nine-headed white dragon rose to the sound of heavy gears echoing in the darkness.
Xia Xingzhou originally thought that it would be dark inside.
But he never imagined that the inside was even brighter than the outside.
He walked slowly inside, descending a spiral staircase, the entire tower shrouded in a bluish glow, occasionally shining like stars in the night sky.
The steps of the spiral staircase reflected their light, and Xia Xingzhou walked on it as if he was stepping on a mirror, but it was very warm.
This is made of some kind of metal, Xia Xingzhou has never seen this kind of material, this kind of metal is warm to the touch, and even feels a little soft, but when he tried to cut off a piece with the dagger he was carrying and bring it back, he found that this material could not be cut at all.
His dagger is an electromagnetic vibration dagger, cutting ordinary metal is like cutting tofu, but this kind of metal with a slightly warm feel is completely unable to cut.
So Xia Xingzhou had no choice but to give up, and he continued to walk down the spiral staircase, which was flanked by some delicate sculptures. They were reflected by the blue light, dragging a long shadow behind them, Xia Xingzhou at first only felt that the animal forms of those sculptures were not in reality, and they were used to decorate here.
Until he recognized the two-headed snake-body pterodactyl carved on the wall, I don't know who carved it. The two dragons are intertwined with each other, their bodies are huge, their eyes are wide open, their fangs are fierce, and the dragon's whiskers are flying arrogantly, and there is a sense of domineering and fierce everywhere, as if they can soar into the sky at any time.
But to Xia Xingzhou, they were like puppies raised in their own backyard, and even like their own children, quantum beasts that completely obeyed their orders, quantum beasts born from their own spiritual vision. This sculpture is exactly the same as the quantum beast he and Lu Yunzai are in.
Xia Xingzhou's eyes swelled with inexplicable emotion, and his hand fell on the dragon's tail and groped for a while.
A dragon-type quantum beast that can possess two abilities is also an absolute powerhouse in the entire constellation Lyra.
But this is a proof of his compromise with fate.
What arrogance, what dignity, what dreams, what the eldest son of the emperor, what the first guide of the holy guide school, all these are useless before the value is matched, and it is all empty talk before the life of the younger brother and the mother.
So he abandoned everything, his self-esteem as a great prince, his glory as a guide, even a man's dream, and his love that disappeared before it began, and finally he didn't even want his body.
That night ten years ago, he went to Lu Yunzai's mansion, Lu Yunzai was standing high, he didn't smile, he looked at him quietly, like a hunter hunting prey, waiting for the wild animals that had fallen into a full set, abandoning the last wildness and becoming his pet.
Lu Yun was saying, "I didn't force you, you can choose to leave ........."
Outside the window was a stormy storm, and the thunder reflected the bright red bed in Lu Yun's bedroom, and the oil painting called Adonis hanging at the head of the bed.
Xia Xingzhou stood in front of the door for a long time, he finally lowered his noble head in front of Lu Yun, and knelt down in front of him, the eldest prince who had never grovelled in front of people, Xia Xingzhou, who was always a star no matter where he went, put aside his dignity and glory in front of people for the first time, and knelt down in front of a person with his father's blood on his hands, he thought, if his younger brother saw it, he would definitely scold him, at this moment he really felt that he was inferior to his younger brother, Xia Housen at least desperately fought hard, but he gave up everything so easily。
"Let go of my brother and mother, the Xia family is no longer a threat to you, give you the throne, let my mother and younger brother leave Huajing. He fell to his knees and pleaded, he couldn't remember what he was thinking at that moment, he had only one wish, at least let his brother live. Dignity is a fart compared to the life of his mother and brother.
"Do you know what I want?" Lu Yun said coldly, and threw the light plate with their matching degree at Xia Xingzhou's feet.
Xia Xingzhou had always rejected him before, and he was even ready to choose a sentinel with the lowest rank on the list.
Xia Xingzhou stared at this sculpture, which was the larger of all the quantum beast sculptures, his hand froze, and the temperature from the material made him put his hand away, it was like the feeling of touching skin during the ceremony.
It's like a thorough combination of the sentinel and the guide, Lu Yun is choosing to use the flesh-body way, the combination heat is triggered at that moment, the guide will no longer remember when his spiritual picture was released, let alone how the sentinel's ability invaded, in his mind, there are only countless images of intertwined limbs, even if he wants to forget, he can't forget.
Xia Xingzhou's body was encroached upon, and his skin, spiritual image, and even his soul were branded by Lu Yunzai, not only his body was entangled, but even the spiritual touches were firmly entangled.
At that moment, he knew that he had lost everything, but he couldn't be sad, but he felt a sense of relief that everything had nothing to do with him after losing everything, and even became so indifferent to whether he was alive or dead.
He stood in front of the statue, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and instantly changed to that cynical expression, he raised his eyebrows, pulled the corners of his mouth, and whistled, Lu Yun liked his skin, he gave him this skin, isn't it just a skin? Peel off this layer of skin Everyone is not the same flesh and blood, so he really tried to pick his own skin, cut off the skin with a knife, but was stopped by Lu Yun, if he dared to continue to use the knife on his face, he would pick his brother's skin to make him a dress.
Xia Xingzhou thought about it and it hurt a lot, he couldn't stand it, how could Sen Sen stand it, so he had to give up.
He looked down at the face reflected in the ground beneath his feet, laughed silently, and continued down the stairs.
It turns out that the sculptures here are all quantum beasts.
And he found that the arrangement of these quantum beasts was somewhat regular, and now in retrospect, some Xia Xingzhou had also seen it.
Since discovering Lu Yun's sculpture in the quantum beast, he has not seen many quantum beasts, and most of them are weird and strange, just like mythical beasts in myths and legends, including King Lu's quantum beast and a red lion with wings.
After that, Xia Xingzhou also recognized the quantum beast of the Celestial Phenomenon Civilization that killed the god Shaluojia, a fierce and incomparably huge bird.
Then, more huge quantum beasts swept past Xia Xingzhou's eyes.
When he walked to the last step of the spiral staircase, Xia Xingzhou suddenly panicked in his heart, and a solemn and solemn coercion suddenly fell from the sky.
All of a sudden, his mental consciousness was so shocked that he even felt like he wanted to surrender.
Xia Xingzhou looked up sharply, and he saw the sculpture at the end of the list of sculptures.
Xia Xingzhou subconsciously pronounced the name of the sculpture: "Bahamut." ”
It is exactly the same as the rumored Quantum Beast that appeared in Bahamut's Scarlet Twilight Cataclysm.
And it is more vivid and fuller than the relief on the bronze door outside, and the heavy pressure just now emanates from this sculpture.
Xia Xingzhou could even imagine that if this quantum beast was alive at this moment, such a terrifying power would definitely be like a god. It's just what kind of person would have a quantum beast like Bahamut. Or how vast the spiritual picture that can give birth to a guide in Bahamut will be.
Xia Xingzhou could only sigh, he couldn't even imagine what kind of sentinel and guide a person with such a quantum beast would be.
The faint blue light gives the sculpture a sense of mystery and long-lasting.
Xia Xingzhou suddenly felt that this was not so much a white tower as it was like a temple.
It is like a temple that has existed since the beginning of the Flood Universe.
And all the sculptures here are clearly ranked according to the power of the quantum beast's ability.
In an instant, Xia Xingzhou understood that the reliefs on the suspension bridge outside the tower were all weak quantum beasts, not good at fighting, and the quantum beasts in this tower were all those who were exceptionally powerful in the legends.
He counted the approximate location of the two dragons in his house, and Xia Xingzhou immediately smiled, the eighty-one.
There were twenty quantum beasts that were a full twenty miles away from Bahamut, who was one hundred and one people, and Xia Xingzhou felt that the gap between these twenty was probably bigger than the gap between all the previous quantum beasts combined.
And in the center of the light source, which reflected the entire space in the tower into a faint blue light, was the light cluster suspended above the nine-headed white dragon.
And that light cluster is like the central star cluster of a huge galaxy, surrounded by countless cantilever formed by small light spots, slowly orbiting around the central star cluster, forming a powerful spiritual realm.
You don't have to guess to know that Ulysses' arm must be in the center of the light source.
Xia Xingzhou made a prayer gesture in front of the nine-headed white dragon, and said with words in his mouth: "Ulysses is offended, but we do need your arm, I think you agree." ”
He couldn't help but yawn on the top floor, and he suddenly felt that someone was whispering something in his ear, but he didn't hear it clearly, he turned his head and looked around.
Hey, could it be his delusion.
"What are you looking for?" asked Olufi, blinking red eyes.
Xun Yan touched his head: "It seems that someone was talking to me just now." ”
Olufei suddenly laughed: "Is it that thing underground, he also talks to me a lot, but I can only understand one sentence, which is, 'Where are you?' Every time I tell him, that thing keeps asking me." ”
Xun Yan breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that he was haunted, fortunately, nothing to fear.
But he felt ridiculous, obviously the other person was already here, but one of his heads would chant Xia Lin's name, and one hand was still asking where you were, needless to say, he must also be asking Xia Lin, hey knowing that his corpse would be like this, his mood is really complicated. 166 Reading Network
