Chapter 54: The Twisted Track (1)
Thanks to Intix, and the Black Hole God for the tip.
Twelve dimensions is too many...... It is simply not practical to describe them in detail, even if only a few.
I think I just need to describe the most critical 1-2 dimensions more clearly and fullly, and I can't chew it too much......
Therefore, in the future, Floris will only be used as a foreshadowing to bring into the Sixth Holy Realm, and the description will be reduced by part, and the plot will be moderately accelerated.
As for Archibald, it will be a more important original supporting character in the dimensional war chapter, so there will be more space.
PS: I really don't know anything about that Lifan......
βββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Archibald stared blankly at the woman in front of him, who was not yet twenty years old, and felt that his heart had never beaten so violently as it did now.
The speed of his bloodstream, the rhythm of his breathing, was far beyond what he normally should.
His heart panicked, a sense of depression that seemed to be afraid of losing something, like a mouthful of food that he had never swallowed, clogged his chest and made him overwhelmed.
His mind was moving more slowly than normal, and the slowness was very noticeable.
So he felt like he couldn't control his body a little bit now.
The snow-white strands coalesced into soft, lubricated strands of hair that hung down from the gray-black hood with a slight curl. Some of them flow down the river, staggering the tip of their delicate chin, obscuring a small portion of the side cheeks and most of the ear contours, and falling down the towering chest of their master; The other part turns into bangs, which complement the bright red eyes.
If you look closely, the delicate eyelashes and slightly exposed eyebrows are also the color of snowβthe eyebrows, which had always been faintly wrinkled before, gathered together with a cloud of unbreakable sorrow, and now suddenly unfolded, together with the joy in the red pupils, unreservedly, to all things as they should be.
The shadow turned into a gauze dress, highlighting her delicate and determined figure; The fluorescence turned into embellishments, bringing out her natural face.
The damp wind was still blowing, and the knee-high weeds were waving, and everyone's clothes were rattling. The snow-white hair danced in the wind, the cheeks that were constant behind it lost the heaviness of the past, the pink lips were curled, and the look between the eyebrows and eyes was dispelled a qiΔ gloom, as if the clouds were cleared to see the sun, making people can't help but recall the glory of the sun that they had not seen for a long time.
Losing control of his body, Archibald couldn't say even a word, he had never seen or heard of someone who could be beautiful to this level just by virtue of the change of "God", although it was only for a short moment, but it was amazing enough.
For a moment, he couldn't breathe. At that moment, under the heavenly dome, the darkness that was so heavy that countless people couldn't raise their heads became her foil.
Li Baiting's pink lips under the bridge of her nose curved slightly, and her mood was rare for several years, but she didn't know that she had unconsciously shown the amazing beauty and charm of this body again, she stared at the young man in front of her with a grateful gaze, thinking about how to repay his attention.
Although she may have been able to get this information by asking others, it was Archibald who woke her up.
"Thank you for informing me that I have solved a problem that has been bothering me for quite some time." She smiled and said, "Plus this raincoat...... I think I'll have to give you something in return. β
"Repay? Belch...... This, in fact, can get similar results if you ask other people...... I just did what I was supposed to do. Archibald's expression froze, and he subconsciously wanted to refuse, but after reflecting what he was doing, he felt deep regret for his refusal in his heart.
He is not a teenager who doesn't know anything anymore, although he is not keen on the affairs of men and women, but there are other partners in the cavalry team he usually stays in besides him, and those people are almost older than him...... Under the influence of his ears and eyes, Archibald also knew some jokes, so at the moment he listened to the word "repayment" in a trance.
If I hadn't refused, what would have been the reward......
Perhaps, a kiss?
"Kiss?" Li Bai was stunned and looked at Archibald in confusion.
"Ugh!" Archibald's body froze, and his face flushed.
What is he doing...... He unconsciously said what he thought in his heart!
"It's not...... That, I didn't mean that! The young man raised his hands and swung them rapidly, but the explanation in his mouth became more and more chaotic, "I said, no...... Not that kind of kiss, but ......"
Under this inefficient explanation, it took Li Bai a while to understand Archibald's embarrassment, and after understanding this tangled psychology, she almost laughed out loud because of this guy's innocence.
Accustomed to the openness of the present world, it is really a rare sense of novelty to suddenly meet such a person.
"Hmm...... I think I pretty much understand what you mean, Archibald. Holding back a smile, she reached out and brushed the hair strands of her sideburns, feeling a little nervous about what she was going to do next.
She made a gesture that no one could have imagined - she stepped forward, reached out and put her hand on the back of the young man's neck, and pressed his head down a little.
Then, a gentle kiss on the left cheek of the youth.
Archibald felt a flower in front of him, a faint fragrance rushed into his nose, a gentle force made him hang his head, and before he could figure out what was happening, there was a slight touch on the left side of his face.
It's very light, like the feeling of Flotis's sunshine and the season of flowers, and the petals falling from the trees hitting her face.
"I hope you can really get your wish in the future and become a powerful warrior like Beowulf Wolf." Leaving these words, Li Baichong, who was still in a stunned state, nodded, and led the horse to Thor's position.
She didn't do it because she was going to start something with Archibald, on the contrary, it was a testament to another metamorphosis of her psyche.
Since it is said that we should look down on life and death, what is the use of being too rigid in form?
ββCan you bring the dead back to life, can you change what has happened, and can you make her live past the upper limit of her life?
Ever since Nellofa tore a crack in her heart in the most brutal way more than three years ago, she had lived a very tired and tired life...... There are too many things that she forcibly suppresses in the bottom of her heart, and all kinds of emotions cannot be soothed, and it will cause a heavy burden to her body and mind in the long run, and if she hadn't figured it out by herself just now because of all kinds of coincidences, this body would not have survived the deadline in a year.
It's just a kiss, not to mention a ceremonial kiss, which is just right as a thank you gift, and by the way, it can also compensate for the little guilt in her heart.
Because she could no longer respond to the admiration for her that the youth had already revealed, she had already pretended to be someone else's figure in her heart...... Whatever the final outcome, it was impossible for that figure to be forgotten by her.
(Yes...... I love her. But at the same time, I hate her too! οΌ
When Li Bai came to the door, Thor was leaning against a large rock, wiping his beloved longbow with a cloth.
"Captain Thor, I have a few questions here, and I hope to get answers from you." Throwing away the demons in his heart and completely controlling his mind made Li Bai show a different temperament from before, so that Saul, who was nearly fifty years old and had rich experience, was stunned, and looked Li Bai up and down before he slowly spoke.
ββ¦β¦ Please speak. Ostensibly asked, Thor secretly wondered if he would find someone to find out what had happened during this break.
He couldn't understand why it took just over ten minutes to make such a big change in a person.
"I heard you say that there is a section of mountains after passing through the wetland grassland? And then after we cross the mountains, we come to a place called the Black Forest, right? β
"It's a nice mountain, but we're not trying to climb over it." "There's a long, slender chasm in the middle of the range, narrow enough to be spaced between two people, and it's not a big group to think about, but we're small enough to cross it through," Saul said. β
"As for the Black Forest, you're right, the Black Forest of Floris is huge, and the vegetation density and danger in its center are so high that people can't explore it at all, but on its periphery, because of the years of exploration and reclamation, there will be many paths leading in all directions, and making good use of these paths can save a lot of time."
"Flotis's Black Forest?" Li Bai was attracted by this special description, as if it was related to some secrets.
"Could it be that in addition to Flotis, there are also Black Forest Beings in other Holy Realms?"
"My experience is shallow, and I can't tell you accurate information." Thor's heavy eyebrows furrowed, and the movement of wiping the bow also stopped, he made a thoughtful look, and then slowly shook his head, "It is rumored that the Black Forest is found in every part of the Twelve Holy Realms, and all the Holy Realms exist in the Black Forest, and various legends have been derived around this rumor. I don't know if this rumor is true, but Steller, Venedenis, and Haravi, the three Black Forest that exist in the Holy Realm, similar to Flaudis, are true, and the news has been passed down from my ancestors, so it should not be wrong...... Although I have not produced Floris myself, I trust my ancestors and they do not lie about these accounts. β
The backward civilization made the inhabitants of this land rely on the teachings of their ancestors, and the previous generation would organize their knowledge and knowledge before their deaths, and attach them to paper to pass on to their children, so that they could avoid detours, so Saul's statement is very credible, and there are at least four dimensions of the "Black Forest".
This news shocked Li Bai in his heart.
What does this mean? It shows that the legend that "the twelve holy realms all exist in the black forest" is very likely to be true!
"Is this really possible?" She couldn't help but directly express the doubts in her heart: "Is there really such a phenomenon in several worlds so far apart, could it be just a coincidence - those forests happen to have the same name?" Are they just called the 'Black Forest'? β
In terms of the vastness of the territory, Flotis is not as good as the present world, but there are twelve worlds like Flotis!
The twelve worlds that do not border each other and can only rely on dimensional barriers as a pass, and the twelve dimensions actually have similar terrestrial landscapes? Why? Will there be such a peculiar phenomenon?
It's a little hard to believe.
"It's true." Thor wasn't surprised by her shock, as he had similar feelings when he first came across the legend.
"The vegetation and trees of the Black Forest are very different from ordinary woodlands, and on the surface no one can see the difference, but the deeper you go into the middle of the forest, the more lush and dense the trees of the Black Forest become, to the point where it is impossible for humans or even ordinary animals to pass freely...... This situation obscures the foliage of the woods from any sunlight, making it appear dark and gloomy, and because of this characteristic it is called the Black Forest. β
"In addition, there is a very easy way to identify it, which is to see if anyone can explore its central area." Thor's tone was a little gloomy, "The four Black Forests from the Eighth to the Eleventh Sacred Realm have never been explored to the center, and when I was young...... Floris had been there with some friends before she had lost the sun, but ......"
"Yes...... ? Taking a deep breath, Li Bai sensed something from the man's instantaneous loss and gave up continuing to inquire about the news of the strange forest.
(Black Forest...... Black Forest ...... There's a famous monster in the card that has something to do with the name of the place. οΌ
(I always feel that it should not be as simple as it seems...... A team with Thor's strength can't do it, so there is no doubt that many people with "race" and even card elves can't do it...... I'd better ask Archibald or someone else about the legend when I have time. οΌ
"So, Captain Thor, let's hear what I have." After determining the order of things, Li Bai once again returned to his previous appearance, and said confidently.
"On how we can prevent the second and even third waves of attacks next......
β¦β¦
From the Evil Spirit Desert, Li Bai and Lilith went to Jiang Cheng in the opposite direction for dozens of kilometers, and there were groups of solid stone cliffs extending out of the surface.
The castle of the Overlord was built at the very top of one of the cliffs.
As the dark personality of the "Ten Generations of Youcheng", he is very different from his host in terms of personality - his birth is due to the hatred of the Ten Generations for their own powerlessness, so as the "Ten Generations of Overlords" who are entrusted with this hatred, his only goal is only one, that is, to chase power.
No matter what the power, no matter what the method, as long as it can make him stronger, he will do it.
Regardless of the reason, regardless of the consequences, including standing on the opposite side with former classmates and friends.
βJudaiοΌ Why! Why aren't you sober yet! O'Brien held a dueling disc and confronted a terrifying figure on the top tower platform of Overlord City.
"Mingming...... Jim has made such a sacrifice, and he still can't wake up your will? Damn it...... How long are you going to be willful!! β
The figure was wearing a set of dark and shiny heavy armor, with hideous black spikes sticking out of each of the joints and shoulder armor, and a blood-red cloak behind it, which was hunting in the cold wind.
Through this platform, you can see that a meteor-like stardust is shining in the sky on the side, and the stardust exudes a red glow, but there is no sense of evil at all, but it is full of brilliance and sacrifice.
"Oh, you're talking about the weakling I defeated before." The voice that originally belonged to the tenth generation of Youcheng came from under the heavily armored helmet.
It has lost its former detachment and lightness. Calmness, tenacity, and coldness are perfectly blended in this voice, which contains an indescribable dull pressure...... Just listening to this voice is enough to make the weak-willed tremble, and there is no longer the heart to resist.
ββ¦β¦ JudaiοΌ All kinds of complicated emotions coalesced into this deep roar, and O'Brien lifted the dueling plate.
The other party's unkindness, the other party's coldness and cruelty, turned into a seed of fear as early as the moment Jim fell, and it took root in his heart.
He didn't understand what was going on, why did that weird and lively teenager in the past become like this?
What compelled him to unleash the knife of slaughter at hundreds of innocent beings? What made him desperate for power, even at the cost of killing his former best friend!?
From the bottom of his heart, he feared such ten generations and such an overlord.
It can be said that even if he broke through the garrison of Overlord City with the help of others and came here, he still did not eliminate the fear in his heart. Just standing in front of the other party, he felt that he had endured an incomparably terrible oppressive force, and the figure of the other party seemed to be magnified several times in his eyes, becoming a huge golem, and he ...... Not even the shadow of the golem could escape.
"What are you...... Do you want to challenge me to a duel? The overlord looked at it with a cold gaze, and a black wind suddenly blew from his cloak, mixed with his momentum, and pressed towards the challenger standing in front of him.
The golden evil pupil, without a trace of emotion, no one could have imagined that this would be the eyes that belonged to the ten generations. Gazed at by this look, O'Brien couldn't help but take a few steps back, the imaginary golem phantom in his mind shattered, his back soaked with sweat, and the whole person seemed to have just been fished out of the water.
"I ...... There is no escaping. He struggled for a long time, and finally resisted the overlord's momentum, "Not just for myself, but for Jim!" β
"Jim's unfinished goals, I'll do it for him!"
Clenching a pearl in his palm that emitted a bright red light, O'Brien temporarily overcame the fear in his heart at this moment, and he officially unfolded his dueling plate.
"Duel with me, Overlord!"
"I'm going to banish you from Judai's body!"
β¦β¦
"The exploration of the Black Forest has come a long way."
At the same time, in Carol City, Nate Blaise sat on the throne, looking at her subordinates kneeling in front of her, with a hint of obvious impatience on her face.
"Don't tell me, it's been a week, and you haven't been able to get into the core area."
"This ...... Mistress Blaus. A demon figure made of purple mist spoke up, and he looked at his boss above him in horror, thinking about how to speak.
"The problem at the moment isβ"
"The Black Forest of Lophinha, Haravi, and Venednis has been explored, and Mr. Reid is desperate for further information, which will be crucial for the next move of the expeditionary force, and if the plan can be successful, Mithra will soon be able to put an end to this war on the border once and for all!" However, before he could finish speaking, Nit simply interrupted.
"For every additional time you delay, more fighters will die on the front lines! Issue? What kind of questions can be asked? We have leveled and conquered four of the twelve holy realms! And the remnants of the Holy Realm will also be subjugated to Mithra's name! What can Floris do now that can cause trouble to your troops? Say! β
Since revising her philosophy, Nat's personality has not been alleviated, appearing more and more moody, reluctantly treating her cronies, and ordinary subordinates are extremely casual, ready to commit murder at every turn, and is called the "witch of the apologetic" by conservatives and the people of the temple, ridiculing her flattery to the Flame Emperor as if it were faith.
Sensing her anger, the demon's mist-made body trembled violently, and he stammered, "It's not that my troops have a problem...... Lord Blaus, but ......"
"Rather, the woman you mentioned earlier, who has the same appearance as His Majesty, according to the message from the female voice of the commander of the Morana Corps, she is now heading in the direction of Carol, and the road map happens to include the Black Forest...... Well, you know, it's very unsafe there now because of Lord Red's research, so to keep that woman safe......"
"You're going to split your hands to clean up the monsters on that route, aren't you?" Nit's expression softened a little.
She did give an order to her subordinates to pay attention to Li Bai's safety, and even protect him if necessary.
Mithra is indeed not monolithic at present, not on the whole, many positions are infiltrated and controlled by the opposition, if they detect clues, it is possible to send people to search and even intercept them, so this kind of protection is not without purpose.
Although she had almost broken off with Bridron, she couldn't turn a blind eye to the monarch she had originally approved...... Therefore, while completing the orders given by Nelofa, she will also use the power at hand to give her some shelter.
After all, just by virtue of the current Highness...... The current Li Bai's strength alone couldn't stop His Majesty's pace at all, so ...... The grievances between her and Her Majesty were let go to their own ...... bar.
And in this regard, all I can do for His Majesty is ...... Speed up the process.
"Since that's the reason, I really don't blame you."
Several of the people who were half-kneeling on the side breathed a sigh of relief when their voices calmed down, but before their hearts could fall back into their chests, the abrupt pitch of the voice made them lift their hearts again.
"But it's also true that you didn't complete the exploration within the deadline."
If these people could raise their heads at this moment, they would see that there was a faint melancholy on the face of Nate Blauss, on the face of the famous "Guardian Witch".
"So, I'm going to give you one more task to complete here." Nit rose from her throne and stared at the group of subordinates below.
"Include her in the plan and take her to the heart of the Black Forest."
