Chapter 19: The Mysterious Corridor
The King of the Feather Clan was silent, his left hand propped up his forehead, looking tired. He lay down on the throne and said quietly, "What can you do when you see Guang? He no longer has wings, and a wingless Feather Clansman is equivalent to a dead man." ”
"I will take him away without wings, he is freer without wings. ”
"Then I'll take you to meet him!" Ivan said silently, he clenched the hilt of the Fire Saint Ancient Sword with both hands, and with a slight turn, a powerful spirit array appeared. The eye of the Spirit Array is the location of the Fire Saint Ancient Sword, and the Fire Saint Ancient Sword is the key to this Spirit Array. The spirit array rotated, and a small passage appeared on the ground paved with white jade, and no light could be seen in the passage.
"Tuttle, please lead the way. The King of the Feather Clan ordered the eighteen Templars in front of the Temple.
Before the words could be spoken, a Templar in front of the temple disappeared into the queue of eighteen and appeared in front of Ivan. Hai Xin knew that he was using the Space Spirit Array, and this strength was far higher than his own, and cold sweat broke out in her palms.
Tuttle placed his golden shield and heavy sword on the ground, knelt down on one knee, covered his chest with his right hand and saluted Ivan: "Honorable king, willing to serve you. With that, Tuttle stood up, plunged his heavy sword into the scabbard behind his back, and put the heavy shield on his back, he summoned a ball of flame from his hand and walked to the entrance of the passage. The flame in his hand illuminated the ancient passage, which was filled with endless staircases.
"Sea Princess, here please. Tuttle retreated to the side of the passage, leaving enough space for the princess to move forward.
Ivan left his throne and did not pick up the Fire Saint Ancient Sword, but let it sit quietly in front of the golden throne.
"Princess Haixin, please here, I will accompany you with Tuttle. Ivan said as he walked down the golden staircase, "Others, stay here and guard the entrance, no one is allowed to enter, and if you disobey the order, you will be killed." ”
The remaining seventeen Bright Templars in front of the temple put down their shields and heavy swords one after another, half-knelt on the ground, covered their chests with their right hands, spread their huge white wings, and replied neatly and forcefully, "Honorable King, I am willing to serve you. ”
Ivan nodded with satisfaction, touched the crown on his head, walked to the distance of three shots from Princess Haixin, and said, "Then please here." Ivan turned sideways and made way for the princess like Tuttle.
Princess Haixin nodded and walked towards the passage step by step, "Thank you, Lord of Zola City. She laughs.
Ivan did not reply, and when the princess was gone, he followed her closely.
The sea princess looked at the dark passage, and did not feel strange and afraid, but felt familiar, a sense of home. Maybe it's because the sea tribe in the past has never seen the sun, and it actually gave her a sense of intimacy in the endless darkness.
Tuttle walked at the front, without saying a word, to light the way for the princess and Ivan. The fire in Tuttle's hand was not big, but it seemed so warm in such darkness.
The three of them gradually moved away, and the passage through the three of them became smaller and smaller, and Princess Haixin looked back, and could only see a faint light, like a little star in the night.
"Why, princess, are you afraid of the dark?" a warm smile appeared on Ivan's cold face.
Princess Haixin shook her head, looked at the dark front and said, "I just want to ask, how long have we been walking?"
"Tell her, Tuttle!"
"Yes. Tuttle didn't look back, still holding the ball of fire in his hand to light the way, "About a tenth of the way through." ”
"Thank you. Princess Haixin nodded and said kindly.
Instead of answering, Tuttle moved on.
The three of them didn't speak again along the way, and Ivan walked last in the dark, looking at Princess Haixin with a calm gaze.
Princess Haixin kept looking at Tuttle who was leading the way, remembering the three nights she met Guang, and recalled that he had said that the angel was the embodiment of flame, so she guessed that the flame in Tuttle's hand was the fire of life of the angel.
Along the way, the flat ground, up the stairs, and the down stairs kept changing, and after walking for a long time, Princess Haixin didn't know how long she had been looking underground. She tried to use her psychic magic to probe her surroundings, only to find that her psychic skills could not penetrate these ordinary walls. Later, Princess Haixin realized that these walls carved with intricate patterns could actually prevent spiritual power from penetrating. Princess Haixin tried several times and finally gave up.
At the beginning, the passage was one and a half meters wide and two meters high. But after continuing to go inside, the size of the passage became smaller and smaller, so small that in the end, the whole passage could only allow one person to pass sideways, and the height was only one meter five, and three people had to hook their waists and close their wings to pass.
Hai Xin didn't know how long they had been gone, but she didn't ask a word, she knew that following the angel named Tuttle in front of her could finally come to an end.
If this is really the prison of Zola, it must be difficult for anyone to escape. If there is a man guarding the narrow path, it will take a lot of effort to get through. Not to mention using spiritual magic to escape, the walls around here are isolated from spiritual power, and they can't be broken through without spending a lot of spiritual power. In Princess Haixin's opinion, even if it is her own father, it is only possible to break this wall if he blesses the heart of the ocean. Even if you get out of this endless path, there are eighteen powerful Templars in front of the temple outside the passage, plus the city lord of Zola City who is holding the Fire Saint Ancient Sword (at least at the same level as the Sea King), it is almost impossible to get out of the Light Sanctuary Hall alive.
Thinking of this, the passage in front of the three of them began to become more and more wide, and the walls around them were no longer the complex patterns they had before, but circular circles side by side. These magic circles are very ancient, and Princess Haixin can't understand them at all, and she has only seen them in the few ancient books in the Royal Library of the Sea Kingdom.
Ivan behind him spoke: "These patterns are very ancient sealing spirit arrays. Ivan introduced Hai Xin one by one like a tour guide, "Some of the seals in these spirit arrays are ancient powerful demon beasts, and some are people who have made mistakes in the Feather Clan. They were sealed in it, and some of them even died out in their bodies, leaving only remnants of their souls. ”
"It should be painful to seal in it!"
Ivan smiled and replied, "Being sealed is like falling into a deep sleep, all the spiritual veins on your body are blocked, and the demon beasts and people who are imprisoned here will not feel any pain, but will only slowly die out with the passage of time." ”
"Is Guang here?" Haehin asked nervously following Tuttle in front of him.
Ivan asked rhetorically, "What if Guang is in one of these circles?"
"Please let me sleep with him. Haixin didn't hesitate.
"Just kidding. Ivan Pi said with a smile, without the slightest sense of humor, "In fact, how these sealing arrays were unraveled was lost a thousand years ago. Since then, we haven't used the Sealing Array again. ”
"What do you do with the person who made the mistake?"
Ivan rolled his eyes and said, "Princess Haixin, there is something I am afraid that you Hai Clan people don't know. More than 2,000 years ago, you Sea Clan had not yet stepped out of the Endless Sea. At that time, the human race, the demon race, and the feather race were facing the threat of demon beasts. The whole world is in the midst of war, the human race demon race and the feather race join forces to fight against the evil demon beast, the war has lasted for more than a thousand years, until more than a thousand years ago, this war ended in the defeat of the demon beast. Ivan looked at Hai Xin's back and said coldly: "But later, the human race and the demon race started a protracted war in order to fight for territory, until today. Since then, the Feather Clan has no longer participated in the wars of the surface world, but has returned to the city of Zola, and continues to abide by their own righteous rules. After that, there was a rule in the city of Zola, and anyone who violated the rules of justice would be thrown off the city of Zola with their wings off. ”
"I see. Hai Xin nodded, "Unexpectedly, the Yu Clan also had the experience of cooperating with the Human Race and the Demon Clan. ”
Ivan smiled helplessly, "When facing a powerful enemy together, the Terran demon clan can become allies. But when the enemy is destroyed, these so-called allies become their enemies again, and this is the evil result of greed. ”
"But there are also many good people among the Terrans!"
"You're right, but there is a lot of kindness among the Terrans. Ivan said, "But it is true that the Terrans have become greedy because of those who are individual greedy." ”
"Will the people of the Yu Clan cooperate with the human and demon clans in the future?"
"I don't know. Ivan said flatly: "After all, my life is only a hundred years, and in a few years I should turn into flames and leave this world." ”
"I heard Guang mention that he said that the lifespan of the Yu people is only one hundred years, and if they don't die in battle, they will all die on the day of a hundred years. ”
"Hiroshi will tell you everything. Ivan smiled, "It seems that he really loves you." ”
Hai Xin turned his head and looked at the cold King of the Feather Clan behind him, the City Lord of Zola City, who was still sitting on the golden throne with the Fire Saint Ancient Sword in his hand just now, and asked, "You still love him?"
Ivan squinted his eyes, followed Hai Xin's steps and continued to walk forward, and said slowly: "After all, he is my child, although it is just a feather on my wings. ”
"Then why didn't you let him go?" asked Princess Haixin anxiously, "he respects you very much, he loves his country, he loves freedom, why did he imprison him here." ”
"Because he is in the city of Zola, and the city of Zola abides by the rules of justice. ”
Hai Xin looked at Tuttle in front of him, showing an uneasy look. Ivan patted the okay shoulder and comforted: "Tuttle is a kind person, here you can speak with confidence." Ivan raised his voice and asked, "Tuttle, do you think I'm right?"
"Yes, old man. Tuttle whispered, "You and the princess talk casually, don't worry about me, I'm not good at talking." ”
"See, although Tuttle is not the strongest Templar in front of the Eighteen Temples, he is the most reassuring to me. There was a hint of pride in Ivan's cold tone.
