Chapter 18: Finding the Trace
"Lord Priest, Orin Guardian begs to see!" Suda said outside the door. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The High Priest slowly opened his eyes, and a ghostly light shone on his forehead, reflecting the stars like broken ice floating in his eyes. Some of the images in his eyes shattered like cracked ice.
"Got it."
The High Priest left the metal platform, and as he left, the glow of the runes around him dimmed.
"Lord Priest, we have been hit by an avalanche and our head has been swept away!" Orin said hurriedly. He had just come back, panting, his chest still heaving violently.
"Don't worry, Canaan is fine." The high priest said in a calm and reassuring tone. There were subtle fluctuations in energy from the metal sheet, and Canaan may have been a blessing in disguise and found the energy body.
"Really?" Orin breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed.
"He should need your help, though." The high priest said, turning his head and instructing Suda, who was waiting aside, "Bring the snow spirit here." ”
Snow Spirit is a beautiful snowy owl, white as snow, with dust-free feathers, two smart golden eyes, a golden pointed beak and sharp hook-like claws.
When it saw the High Priest, it immediately flew from Suda's shoulder to the High Priest's forearm, which was lying across his chest, and rubbed his head affectionately against his chest.
"It will take you to Canaan." The High Priest whispered to the Snowy Owl for a while, and the clever creature turned its big eyes to Orin, flapped its wings, and flew to his shoulder. Orin froze motionless, this was the High Priest's pet, and he had to take care of it.
After Orin left, Suda asked, "Lord Priest, has Canaan found the energy body?" ”
"That's right." The High Priest nodded, but this energy body was different, not an ore but a living thing. From the brief images he saw, he saw an orangutan monster and a monkey-like creature, and even though they were so far away, the High Priest felt the majestic energy from the fragments transmitted from the metal plates.
Those whose bodies can store so much energy are not weak. I hope that Canaan and them will not conflict with the energy body, and please come back. As long as he comes to his territory, he has his own way of asking them to hand over their energy.
A grim light flashed in the High Priest's eyes as he walked back to the room where he had been meditating. His hooves pounded against the metal ground, strangely silent. He lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought as he walked. If Canaan fails, he will have to take matters into his own hands.
Standing back on the metal mesa, surrounded by runes, the High Priest closed his eyes again and fell into meditation. The scenery around him seemed to dissolve, he seemed to be floating in the air overlooking this white ice and snow world, his vision moved with his thoughts, and a round metal door appeared in front of his eyes, similar to other metal doors, but it was indeed engraved with a row of red runes, shining with blood-colored light, giving people a sense of unease.
Successive priests have guarded the door, ensuring that the glow of the red runes is not extinguished. What's behind the door? No one dared to snoop, so it has always been a mystery.
All they had to do was guard the door and wait for their master to come back.
Their master has been gone for too long, but they all believe that one day the master will come back.
Simon let out a big sneeze and woke up.
When I opened my eyes, I didn't see the white roof that I was used to, and I couldn't help but be stunned. After being stunned for a while, he remembered what had happened before, and jumped up in fright, and hit his head against the stone wall above his head, shaking some sand and gravel and falling down.
"Are you alright?" Ansu leaned against the stone wall and turned his head to ask.
"Ship ...... Long ......" Simon covered his aching head and squatted down, the captain was fine, it was good. Otherwise, he wouldn't have forgiven himself, but he seemed to have really hurt the captain. Simon crouched to the side, like a child who had done something wrong.
An Su only glanced at him to know what he was thinking, and thought for a while:
"You've made progress this time, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
Simon looked up with a swish, his eyes sparkling.
"Captain, don't you blame me?"
"That's not your will." Ansu rubbed his shoulder, which was still sore after returning to his position, "Besides, you can control yourself at last, which is good." ”
Simon nodded like a child being praised, and the captain didn't blame him.
Canaan, who was not far away, unconsciously touched the metal piece on his chest, pondering, the creature that can be transformed is interesting.
This is a mushroom-shaped rock on the edge of a hot spring lake, and the temperature around the hot spring lake is relatively high, and there is no snow accumulation, and the black rock is exposed. But the cold wind can still pass through it with impunity.
Simon's eyes turned to Canaan not far away.
"That's a deer?" Simon swallowed.
"I should be one of the intelligent people in this wasteland."
"I want to eat it." Simon pressed the twitching stomach.
Ansu glanced at him and said lightly, "Forgot the lesson of the Ammanra?" ”
Simon choked suddenly, and looked away weakly, this is all because these alien creatures look so strange, he can't tell which ones are edible and which are not. Fortunately, there is a captain here, as long as you do what the captain orders. Simon made up his mind that he would do whatever Ansu told him to do in the future.
"But this could be an opportunity......," Ansu muttered, as the leaders of the intelligent herd spoke the lingua franca based on previous experience, and perhaps they could find a way over the snowy mountains.
Unfortunately, the language barrier is a major barrier to communication.
Ansu closed her eyes again and decided to let go of the question for now. The creature is coming for itself, so it shouldn't leave rashly, so let's observe it for a while. This time, although there were not many wounds on the outside, the strong squeezing still hurt the internal organs, and it still hurts after a little strenuous exercise.
Simon saw the exhaustion between Ansu's eyebrows, and his heart felt like a stab, and he swung his sore limbs, sat down beside Ansu, like a hill, and stared at Canaan with fierce eyes.
Want to hit the captain's idea? No way!
Canaan looked away into the deep distance, hoping that the other Guardians would spot the sign he had left behind and arrive sooner. He feared that something would happen, and if the two creatures were to leave, he would be unable to stop them on his own.
"Brother, look at this!" Keith suddenly pointed to a fallen tree and said. Jill and Katas, who were searching in the distance, hurried over and saw a spear-like mark on the trunk of the tree. Although some snow has fallen on it, it is still clearly recognizable.
That was the mark left by Canaan, and the spear pointed to the east.
"It's the boss!" Jill and Katas couldn't help but cry out in surprise. (To be continued.) )
