A sudden rainstorm swept over the western sea, and the stench of the shores of Watch Island was temporarily overshadowed by the rapid winds and dense raindrops. Sibriss sat on the watchtower, which was violently shaken by the wind, and looked intently in the direction of Garland. Noshibi accompanied her, lying under the watchtower and waiting.

Mikicharan had come to the watchtower before the rainstorm and tried to tell Siberis to come down and take shelter, but Siberis did not respond. Now, seeing that the storm was getting bigger and bigger, and that the watchtower could be blown down by the wind at any moment, Mikicharan could no longer hold on, so she found a few of the Pheton warriors and said to them, "Help me get her down from there." ”

Sibris, who had been dragged into the house by the soldiers in the rain, was already drenched and shivering by the storm. Even Nohibi choked enough, and it shook its body in the house in embarrassment, shaking off the rain from its body.

Seeing that Sibelis's face was slightly red and in poor condition, Miki Charan stepped forward and stroked her forehead. After that, she busily ordered a few Garland slave girls to prepare hot water and towels.

"Lie down and don't move anymore, Siberys, your forehead is hot, you're sick." Mikicharan took off Sibris's soaked clothes, then found a wolfskin blanket to cover her.

Sibriss looked at Miki Charan a little weakly, her lips moving slightly, as if she had something to say.

"Stop talking, Siberys, you need to get some rest now." Miki Charan took a hot-water towel from a Garland slave girl and put it on Siberis's forehead.

Sibelis lowered her gaze gloomily. Then she slowly lifted a hand and pressed it to her chest. What she was holding with her hand was Friedley's black Ouroboros ring that she had strung with a black rope and hung on her chest a few days ago.

"I know, you miss him a lot." Miki Charan stroked Sibelis's hot cheek and said, "He will return safely." But you can't break your own body, then he'll be sad. ”

Si Baili nodded slightly, but did not say a word.

"You've been waiting at the beach for the past few days, and he should have felt your thoughts." Miki Charan looked at Siberis and said silently, "I hope he's safe now." ”

"Sage," asked Siberys, feebly, "this ring, he gave it to me, and you can... Tell me... Does it mean anything? ”

Mickcharan saw from the palm of Sibris's open hand that the black Ouroboros ring was now dim as if it had sucked in the light of the fire in the house, like a bottomless abyss.

"I've seen Friedlier's father, the last Taru on Frosttrail Island, who wore this black ring all his life." Mikicharan looked at the ring and said, "This is supposed to be a family heirloom from Friedlier. It was supposed to be when Old Taru died, and Old Taru gave him the ring. And now that Friedlier has given you this ring in times of danger, I think it at least means that you are important to him, that you have taken a very special place in his heart. ”

"Nusage, I once read in a book, that when a man gives a ring to a woman, as long as the woman wears it, then the woman, like wearing a shackle, will be locked with the man who gave her the ring forever. Forever, no more separation. Desperately resisting the discomfort of weakness, Sibriel looked deeply at Mikicharan and asked, "Really, is that so?" Virtuous. ”

"Sibelis, you need to get some rest. I haven't heard of that statement. "Maybe those Garland women know your story better, but they don't have that in Facton. Miki Charanxi took Si Bai Lisi's hand and continued, "Xi Bai Lisi, you are still a child, you are not even a menarche yet, and it is difficult for me to guide you in such a thing as love. Even though I feel... You've fallen in love with him. ”

"Is this love? Virtuous? Siberis asked weakly, "Is it waiting?" Is that right? ”

"I said, Siberys, it's hard for me to guide you. Besides, you're just a kid. "When you grow up, you'll understand." ”

"He's in love with me, right?" Sibelis asked with a weak wink.

"Sibelis, let's drink this cup of hot water first." Miki Charan took a cup of hot water from a Garland slave girl, handed it to Sibris, and said, "Drink it, I'll tell you." ”

"Thank you, Virtuous." Sibeliss struggled to her feet, and with the help of Mikki Charan, she drank most of the hot water in one go.

"I think so, he loves you." Mikicharan looked at the hot water under the cup and said, "Although I have never seen anything like you.... This kind of love. But I can feel that he loves you, Siberys. It's a love from the bottom of my heart. ”

Siberis smiled contentedly, and she whispered to Mikicharan, "Thank you, Virtuous. ”

"Get a good night's sleep, kid. You'll be fine. ”

In the days following the storm, the water continued to rise, and more reefs on the shore were submerged. The waves were now approaching the edge of the camp that Tellil had set up at the time. The Phetton warriors who stayed behind on Watch Island, even though they had lived in the embrace of the sea since childhood, could not help but feel fear and anxiety at the sight of this rare sight.

The current Mikicharan sage has even gradually begun to become the spiritual pillar of the warriors on the island. Every day some warriors came to her side to ask her questions, and she had to take the trouble to explain this unprecedented phenomenon with the wrath of the goddess of the sea. And those Jialan female slaves are more secretly kneeling on the ground, silently praying for the blessing of the gods.

"So you're here, Sibelis." Mikicharan managed to get out after calming the mood of a few warriors, she walked out of the camp and along the shoreline to find Sibelis, who was sitting on a bare rock, "I don't know when the goddess of the sea will be able to calm down her anger and reassure those warriors, I can't stand their daily inquiries." ”

"Nuxian, take a break here." Sibriss looked back from the sea and said to her, "Look at Nohibi, it doesn't need to be fed at all, it's even about to fish now." ”

"Dogs can't fish, kid." Mikicharan sat down beside Sibriss and said.

"Before the sea rose here, no one believed it would rise here, did they?" "Nohibi may be different from other dogs, maybe because it has a cat name, and I think he might learn to fish." ”

"Well, I hope it learns too." Mikicharan looked at Nohibi, who was sniffing at the corpse of the fish, and then said, "Sibris, do you remember when you asked me if there was a story about the flood in Phaeton?" ”

Sibelis nodded.

"There's one."

"Woman, you're going to tell me about it now, aren't you?"

Mikicharan nodded, "That's the story of Kabodila the Godslayer, the King of the Ancestors. ”

"King of the Ancestors... Godslayer...," Sibriss repeated softly.

Mikicharan nodded and said deeply, "Cabodila, the King of the Ancestors, he represents an eternal belief in our Phacton, and that is resistance. ”

"King of the Ancestors, fight... Then he must be a very powerful person. Sibriss then asked, "Why haven't I heard from you before?" ”

"He's a great guy and people look up to him, but no one wants to talk about him." Mikicharan said,

"Why are people reluctant to tell about him?" Siberice asked curiously, "Since he is called a god killer, is it because he killed the gods?" ”

"Yes, but he didn't just kill the gods." "Originally, I wasn't going to tell you his story. However, the ring that Taru gave you made me finally decide to tell you about it. ”

"Does he have anything to do with this ring?" Curious, Siberice took the ring from her neckline, and she held it in her hand and asked Mikicharan.

"Yes, it has a little bit to do with it."

Sibris's eyes widened, and she waited for Miki Charan to speak.

"It was in the age of the gods, far back from the Dark Ages of Brotha, the Guardian of the Night, when the gods ruled over the world. They ruled the world for a long, long time, but as time passed, the gods who were originally good and gentle began to become depraved and evil. They used the divine power in their hands to start abusing other creatures, the god of the sky, Odin, sent crows to peck at the good Titans, his son Thor, the god of thunder, bombarded the beautiful elven kingdom with lightning, Frigga the goddess of love stole the treasure that the dwarven kingdom had worked so hard to dig, Sif, the goddess of the land, withered the plants planted by humans, Tyr, the god of war, swung his sword to kill the land of fire, and Frey, the god of light, made a strong light shine on the land of fog. Finally, under the continuous destruction of the gods, the unbearable creatures began to rise up in revolt. But the rebellion of the creatures provoked even harsher revenge from the gods, who let the night fall forever, so that the winter would not leave, and the snow would fall endlessly in the night for three years, and all living beings were in danger. Some of the originally neutral gods, seeing this tragic situation, began to sympathize with the weaker creatures. They are Orbuda, the goddess of the sea, Loki, the god of stratagem, and Hela, the goddess of Hades. Under Loki's strategy, all the dying creatures who were tormented by the other gods finally united and agreed to launch a great counterattack against the gods on a day known as the twilight of the gods. ”

Sibriss listened intently as Miki Charan continued, "In the bitterly windy night of Ragnarok, the goddess Hela from Hades took the lead in leading the army from the underworld to join the war against the gods, and with her appearance, the whole sky became a ghostly light, as if the River Styx was surging in it. Later, the poison dragon Nidhogg rushed out, and he first bit off the root of the World Tree, Euktrasil, and the foundation of the divine realm became unstable as a result.

Then came the giant Angleboda, who led the titan giants on trembling land and rushed to Valhalla. And the giant wolf Fenrir opened his huge mouth that could devour heaven and earth and pounced on Odin. Surtr, the flame giant, arrives from the land of fire in the south, and he wields a flaming sword to fight Frey, the god of light. Loki, the god of stratagem, was beheaded by Heimdall, the god of dawn, during the chaos, but Loki's long horned head suddenly bounced when it hit the ground, and before he died, he stabbed Heimdall to death with the sharp horns on his head.

The giant wolf Fenrir killed Odin, but was also killed by Odin's son Vader. Garm the Cerberus kills Tyr, the god of war, but is killed by Thor the god of thunder who arrives.

The weak humans saw that the gods were about to win, but they could not do anything, and they were already pinning their hopes on other beings, and even a single Protoss soldier who rushed out of Valhalla could not defeat them.

At this moment, the King of the Ancestors, Cabodilla, bravely stepped forward, and under the guidance of Loki's revenant, with the help of the goddess of the sea, he possessed the body of the Ouroboros Jörmungad, which circled the world and slept at the bottom of the sea. Possessed by Cabodilla, he controls the huge body of the Ouroboros and suddenly awakens from the bottom of the sea. The moment he let go of the huge mouth that was biting his tail, the sea set off a monstrous wave that reached the heavens. Accompanied by the monstrous water, he also rushed out of the bottom of the sea and joined the battlefield.

Kabodila, who had taken the form of an Ouroboros, first killed Vader with his fangs, and then he quickly dodged Thor's Thunderhammer and spewed poison that poisoned Thor. In the end, he tightly wrapped his body around Sif, the goddess of the earth, and Friggia, the goddess of love, and strangled them to death one by one.

Although Cabodilla, who had killed the gods, saved the defeat, the waves he set off were so great that when he killed the gods, the waves also spread into the world of all other creatures. The waves swept away those worlds, and the lives there. ”

Sibris, with a slightly stunned mouth, fell into a brief silence as she listened to Mikicharan's story.

"Sage, all stories of great water always flood the land, right?" Siberis asked Miki Charan as she looked at the rushing waves.

"Maybe," said Mikicharan.

"Well, all of them are going to die, aren't they?"

"No, not really, Sibelis. In the story I told you just now, Kabodila did not die, but after the battle, he rested at the bottom of the sea with the Ouroboros. And the goddess of the sea is safe and sound, because she is not afraid of the sea. And we, the Pheton people, are the descendants of him and the goddess of the sea. ”

Siberis was silent for a while, then nodded silently, "Virtuous, I may have learned something, thank you for telling me this story." ”

Miki Charan stroked Ciperys' blonde hair and said nothing.

Cybeliss slowly lifted the ring around her neck, held it in the palm of her hand and whispered, "Ancestor Kabodila, please bless your children and grandchildren, Friedreel. ”
