Chapter 41: Lionheart's Legacy
A black hole appeared at the end of the road ahead, absorbing all the light. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Then it rolled up, and a figure stood up in the darkness, the white light on it allowing Days to see what it looked like.
He was a burly man, and the cloak behind him was windless, as if he was making the sound of hunting. On its head is a gold crown encrusted with large gemstones. On the left side of the body, he wears a sword, which is certainly not just an ornament in his lifetime.
"Come near, my child."
This "child" can be understood as "son" at the same time. It is often used by elders to refer to their favorite juniors.
Hearing such a kind call, he didn't feel any hostility, even if the other party was a ghost, and there was the same large group of ghosts around him, Days was not afraid, although his legs were still a little fluttering.
Deis no longer doubted, walked over quickly, and then knelt down on one leg, as if to pay homage to the king: "Deis Fernando Kellner, what can I do for you?" ”
The ghost's white eyes stared at Days for a long time, as if they were watching him closely. Maybe it's just watching him closely.
"My child, you have my blood and my brother's blood in you."
Huh? Who are you, and who is your brother? Days remembered the legends that Miss Impus had told herself. Could this be the Emperor who rests in Odin?
"It seems that my line continues to this day. Can you tell me a little bit about what's going on now? ”
Days thought about it, and said what he knew about Fernando's Holy Empire, what he knew about his family, and what he had guessed.
The Holy Empire of Fernando died in two hundred years, Odin became independent, Duke Odin became emperor, the eastern territories also declared independence, the central part of the continent was divided into many, many small countries, and the remaining royal family members of Fernando retreated in the south of the continent, guarding the territory of the south. As for his own bloodline, Days only guessed that he might also be a descendant of the reclusive line.
"You're not lying. If this is the case, although I am a little helpless, I can go with peace of mind. “
"It turns out that it's been so long, no wonder I'm so tired and want to sleep."
"I don't have much power left, and my brother has taken it away, so I'll leave the rest to you. Then I will go to the resting place of the first fathers, which is far to the west. ”
These words contain a lot of information. Combined with the previous words, there are many possibilities that can be introduced. For example, the Emperor and his younger brother are actually at odds, and it is even possible that the Emperor was killed by his younger brother, and then hoped to seize his power. The Emperor was worried about the destruction of his descendants, and he was very happy to see Dyce, so he wanted to pass on the power he had kept for so long to Dyce.
Without Dyce's consent, it seems to take this matter for granted. It seems that the deceased Emperor was also so domineering in his life, he condensed a pure energy mass in his hand, and after condensing it continuously, he finally became a black pearl-like existence. The black pearl floated, towards Dyce, and then submerged into Dyce's forehead.
At that moment, Days felt a buzz in his head, as if there had been an explosion.
When Days woke up, he found that the ghosts around him were gone. Those swords-wielding nobles, and the once mighty emperor.
There were still clumps of phosphorus fire floating in the space, and it seemed that he was looking at the sleeping Days with curiosity, but when Days woke up, he floated away again.
Ah, I actually fell on the ground just now, surrounded by an unknown number of coffins. Fortunately, those in power here have no ill will towards themselves, and they are their ancestors. No, to be precise, it should be because he is his ancestor, so he has no ill will towards himself.
As the phosphorus fire drifted by, some skeletons that appeared to be complete could be faintly seen. Is it the one who died here at the time for secrecy?
A ghost appears in sight and bows down to Dyce. Turns out they haven't left yet! As he appeared, more ghosts appeared, emerging from the coffin, as if they had been lying down and now sitting up, and they saluted Dyce together. Their appearance caused the temperature of the entire space to drop dramatically. Of course, this temperature was not as low as it was felt around the Emperor.
At this time, they can't continue to sit on the ground in embarrassment, even if they are no longer human.
"O son of the king, the king has entrusted you with his inheritance, and he has left here for the resting place of the first father."
"Is it the far west?" I just heard where to go.
"Yes, Your Excellency."
"Can I leave now?"
I don't know when it will be now, Melina and Sophia will be worried if they don't go back, and as for Miss Imps, she won't be surprised if she suddenly tells Days that the hot spring villa is actually gated.
"As you wish, Your Excellency."
Days stood up, looked around, and suddenly realized a serious problem: he was disoriented!
Days didn't speak, and the ghost didn't speak, just stood and watched Dyce respectfully. They're dead, so they're eternal, and they don't care about the passage of time.
Choosing a random direction, he tried to make out the direction with the help of the green light on the ghosts. Days was worried that the magic would hurt them, so he didn't light any more fireballs.
Suddenly, a ghost came in the direction that Days was about to go, blocking his way.
"Your Excellency, are you going out?"
Because he remembered that encounter in the old dormitory area of the school, Days was a clever one. Confirm that the subject does not intend to attack, and then rest assured.
"Yes, yes!"
"Please go this way."
Days noticed that he had almost stepped on a dead body, no, it was actually a skeleton. It looks so complete, if you step on this foot, you probably will hurt your foot. If you get some strange toxins, it's bad.
The ghost leads Days to the steps down the stairs.
"Thank you."
"It's a pleasure to serve you." He looked at Days and seemed to have something in his heart.
"Well, if you have anything to say, you can tell me."
"If you can, send the bones of our king to his resting place, which is far away in the West, where I don't know where it is."
"Ah, this...... I probably won't be able to move it for a while, and I don't know where that place is. ”
"There's no hurry, we'll continue to guard his body until you come back again."
"Uh-huh, okay."
Up the stairs, it was pitch black, darker than below.
Ah, by the way, maybe my grandmother will know about such a thing.
My mother didn't know very much, but I might know if I mentioned my grandmother. In my impression, my grandmother was a noblewoman who still looked young, a little serious, no, rigorous.
When I was a child, I went to my grandmother's castle, which was a desolate place. Black, gray and pale are the dominant colors there, and there are many strange creatures that are inhabited.
At that time, I was still very young, and my sister Anna was even younger, and she had just learned to walk. The little hand can only grasp the index finger of the other person, babbling and babbling without knowing what to say. The elder brother and sister were not invited, and when they learned of this result, the elder brother ran to practice swordsmanship without saying a word.
Ah, there's no sunlight there. And it's so strangely named, it's called Gargoenburg...... Isn't Gagarn the meaning of a dragon? It's weird.
"Anyway, I'll try."
Days gave his farewell salute and walked up. After taking a few steps, Days summoned a fireball with his magic. As a result, the fireball was very large, more than three feet in diameter.
“!!!!” Days fell down the stairs in fright, and the fireball began to dissipate as he was frightened.
What's going on, it was obviously summoned using the previous standard just now......
"Your Excellency."
"You...... It's still there. Days smiled awkwardly, his embarrassed appearance just now must have been ugly in the eyes of these aristocratic ghosts.
"Your Excellency's spiritual power is very strong."
"Huh?"
This abrupt opening statement.
"You've got the Lionheart's legacy."
Huh?
"I take it for granted that my mental strength will become stronger."
Is that so?
"Well, I'll be careful."
Days gathered another small fireball, still a little bigger, and he gradually controlled it to the size of a silver coin. He thought enough was enough, lest he burn all the air.
Be careful with your magic in the future, so as not to scare others.
"Goodbye, then." Days said goodbye for the second time.
The ghost nobleman bowed again. No, it was all the aristocratic ghosts who were bowing goodbye as if they were bidding farewell to their own king. Of course, Days didn't think so, he was just flattered and didn't dare to show it, and walked up the stairs with a tense face, looking quite majestic. Like a young lion.
The stairs were fifteen feet vertical, and as he reached the top, Days saw a protruding rock. For safety, Days also used his mental power to perceive and analyze, and found that it could indeed open the exit. However, here's the problem – before it opens, it drains the top staircase, and the person on top falls down...... It's a deep, deep space, and a lot of people have been buried, and once someone falls, the exit won't open. Deis's spiritual power is really as the ghost nobleman just said, and it has become stronger than ever. The range of perception has become larger, and the details have become clearer. Days could even "see" the swords buried in the coffins, and was sure that the elements gathered to blast the wall to pieces. But obviously, Dyce wouldn't do that.
Days stepped back and walked down five steps, then prepared to shoot an air projectile at his target.
Will it shatter?
Days suddenly thought of this question, a very serious question, if it was broken, maybe Days would have to smash the wall and go out again. Days wouldn't do that, there were the remains of his ancestors, and countless Heroic Spirits sleeping here, and he definitely didn't want them to be disturbed.
However, even if you do, you may not be able to get out, for example, the walls are made of materials that are immune to magic attacks. Such materials have appeared in the basement of the school dormitory, and the stone wall was finally cut open by the personal guards of Beirut with high martial arts, and then collected by Teacher Rita unkindly, and occasionally used as a shield. However, as the main party to that incident, Days was not impressed at all.
According to the previous capabilities, there is no way. However, Dyce's mental power has skyrocketed countless times, so there is still a way.
In high-level magic, there is a thunderbolt spear, which is to gather the water and electric elements in the air, condense them into the shape of a gun, and then attack the target according to the spiritual power.
If you release your perception a little and don't close your eyes, everything around you will become more dreamy. Wind, fire, water, earth and mine, each element has its own color, which is really beautiful.
Dispersing the air bullet in his hand, Days condensed the earth and water elements, and then eliminated the fire element. It's good, it's turned into a hard popsicle.
However, it is not long enough to reach there.
Then lengthen it. But when it gets longer, the popsicle becomes uncontrollable again, dangling, and difficult to poke at the target again.
Then, snap and crunch. Broken.
Days felt that he had done enough well, so it was rare for him to give up and continue to do it. Mainly because I'm a little hungry now.
After thinking about it, Days chose the second option. He walked up to the top step, and because it was the narrowest place, Days stepped on the walls on either side and broke away from the steps.
Free your hands and use your mental power to detect changes around you. Press hard. Because the mechanism did not notice the weight on the steps, it did not remove the floor, but opened the exit.
Days fell heavily to the ground, it hurt so much, it hurt so much that it was numb. I couldn't stand up until the stone wall was closed.
After finally recovering, I had the energy to look around.
Oh, it's already dark.
