Volume II Lotus 141 . Ophelia Beylands (center-)
Night fell quickly, and after Yong Shili and Kai Li checked that the scars on the body of the GBL girl lying on the bed were no longer serious, the two of them slept on the bed that had been simply cleaned, while Forrest Gump and Xiu Zhe were guarding the GBL girl in small talk, after all, no one could guarantee whether this good-looking girl was evil or good.
"It doesn't matter if you say you can't reach the realm of the Awakened? What nonsense! Forrest Gump's eyebrows furrowed and he whispered sternly.
Since Luxi's death, Forrest Gump's heart has also died, if there is anything worth remembering in this world, I'm afraid there is only Xiu Zhe, after all, he is also Xiu Zhe's master, but just now his apprentice said in small talk that it doesn't matter if he doesn't enter the realm of the awakened, how can he not make him angry?
"Master, I just need to gradually fuse with the power of ghosts and gods, improve my compatibility with them, and I will become stronger and stronger. Besides, which Awakened One would be stronger than Drasius? Xiu Zhe said with a chuckle.
Looking at Xiu Zhe's confident appearance, Forrest Gump Zuo fell silent, everyone should have their own 'Dao', besides, Xiu Zhe's situation, there is no second person in the world who can understand him, and Forrest Gump Zuo can't give any advice.
Forrest Gump opened his mouth and said: "You can also consider entering the orthodox kendo path, although the power of ghosts and gods is strong, you should also take into account the truth that only your own strength is truly powerful." ā
Xiu Zhe nodded, he never gave up his swordsmanship along the way, and at the same time, the moves that Luxi mastered were also honed in the illusion created by Kazan, and the speed of refining swordsmanship in this way was much faster than his sword practice in reality.
"What did you do with the meteorite I left you?" Forrest Gump asked.
"I'll leave it to Brother Linus, and although Brother Linus has forgotten Master Luxi, he still misses you very much."
Xiu Zhe didn't talk nonsense, when he went back, Linus would always mention Forrest Gump, although Linas didn't say it, Xiu Zhe also understood that he missed Forrest Gump very much.
Forrest Gump bowed slightly: "When I find out why Luxie's existence has been erased, I will go back and get together with him, and now I am not in that mood." ā
"By the way, Master, did you encounter a black nightmare when I landed in the Sky City?" Xiu Zhe still cares a lot about the existence of black nightmares, and intuitively Xiu Zhe always feels that black nightmares are not so simple.
Forrest Gump shook his head and said, "After Ban and I killed the leader of the Dragonman Tower, we climbed to the puppet entrance and killed all the monsters there, and then slaughtered the Golem Tower, and we didn't find a single black nightmare. ā
"Didn't you and Barn enter the Dark Corridor?" Xiu Zhe asked with some doubts.
"You say those guys who claim to be expellators? Barn and I didn't even give the Heavenly Destroyer a chance to speak, and he was chopped to pieces. Forrest Gump's tone was very flat, as if he had killed a chicken or a duck as easily.
Xiu Zhe was a little embarrassed, he was tricked to control the expulsors and was detected by Seghardt before he directly got them to the city lord's palace, and Forrest Gump and Barn were fought layer by layer, and the strength of those expulsors was not weak, but the meaning of Forrest Gump's words was obviously that he didn't take those guys seriously.
"Ahem, cough, ahem" The girl lying on the sofa coughed violently, causing Xiu Zhe and Forrest Gump to stand up at the same time and come to her side.
The girl slowly opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar ceiling, and then she seemed to feel that someone was watching her, quickly turned over and touched the scars on her body, and after seeing that her clothes were intact, the girl's eyes looked at Xiu Zhe and Forrest Gump.
"You're a GBL cultist?" Forrest Gump took the lead in asking, the cold tone made the girl's expression tense, and she nodded timidly and admitted it.
"You... Is it from the Arad continent? The girl saw the mask and decorations on the faces of Xiu Zhe and asked cautiously.
Forrest Gump nodded, and the girl hurriedly rolled out of bed and came to Forrest Gump Zuo as if she had found a savior, and out of instinct she could feel that this man with thunder and lightning eyebrows was very powerful.
Forrest Gump narrowed his eyes slightly, his big hand did not touch the hilt of the sword behind him, he could see at a glance that this girl had no strength at all, Forrest Gump Zuo didn't even need to draw the sword, he just needed to condense the sword qi on his fingers to take her life in an instant.
The girl obviously had not experienced the world, and reached out to grab Forrest Gump's slightly shabby gray robe and begged: "Please, save us, GBL Sect!" ā
Forrest Gump frowned on his left side, what's the matter with this girl? Do they look like they're eager to help someone they don't even know their names?
Looking at Forrest Gump's indifferent eyes, the girl took a step back, let go of her hand, lowered her head, and said cowardly: "Yes... I'm sorry. I'm in too much of a hurry. ā
"Master, she has no ill will." Xiu Zhe came to the girl with a friendly smile and said, "What's your name?" ā
Only then did the girl realize that she had not yet introduced herself, and stroked her somewhat messy red hair, and said timidly: "My name is Ophelia Beylands, just call me Ophelia." ā
Ophelia was a little afraid to look directly into the eyes of the young man in front of him, the man with thunder and lightning eyebrows only had indifference in his eyes, but the pair of young man's eyes seemed to have a breathtaking magic.
"Hello, my name is Xiu Zhe, don't be afraid, what happened when you just said let's save you?" Xiu Zhe's efforts in coaxing people were not able to catch up with Forrest Gump's left, and Forrest Gump also knew this, so he simply sat back in his chair and listened to what Ophelia had to say.
Ophelia swallowed, took a step back, bowed to Xiuzhe, and bowed to Forrest Gump, "Thank you for saving me." ā
Xiu Zhe felt a little funny in his heart, no wonder Forrest Gump was a little dislike Ophelia, this girl was indeed a little not sensible, how could she even speak incoherently make people feel good? Could it be that she relied on her pretty face?
Forrest Gump waved his hand and said impatiently: "Talk about business." ā
"Oh..."Ophelia straightened up, looked at Xiu Zhe and then at Forrest Gump, "We are humans who moved to live on the back of the Heavenly Veil Giant Beast thousands of years ago, and the founder is Leslie Beylands, who was the first to discover the ancient ruins beyond the ancient civilization on the back of the Heavenly Veil Giant Beast. There was a lot of esoteric knowledge in it, and Leslie was fascinated by it, and began a lifelong search. ā
Forrest Gump rubbed his eyebrows helplessly, he didn't come to listen to the story, he wanted to hear why Ophelia said that he would save the GBL Sect.
But Ophelia didn't see Forrest Gump's impatience and continued: "Leslie traveled the world on a celestial behemoth, intending to gather all the knowledge of the world together to form the most powerful wisdom. In order to realize this ideal, he founded the GBL Church, and the full name of our church is GrandBlueLore, which means Great Blue Truth..."
"We know, why did you want us to save you?" Before Forrest Gump Zuo broke out, Xiu Zhe hurriedly asked, he could feel the killing intent surging in Forrest Gump's body, if he didn't hurry up and get down to business, I was afraid that Forrest Gump Zuo would really be able to kill Ophelia with one sword.
Ophelia's expression darkened and he said bitterly: "Three years ago, a mysterious creature appeared on the back of the Heavenly Veil Beast, and at the same time, many believers no longer believe in wisdom but believe in that mysterious evil thing. ā
"Evil things? What evil thing? Xiu Zhe was faintly uneasy in his heart, could it be that the GBL Sect was also affected by the Black Nightmare?
Ophelia's face turned pale, and it was obvious that she was terrified of the evil thing, and even her hands trembled with fear.
After a while, Ophelia swallowed violently and plucked up his courage and said: "It is a huge octopus that fell from the sky, it can speak and has extremely strong spiritual power, it is because of his spiritual control that the vast majority of GBL disciples have lost their minds and serve him as a god." ā
Giant octopus? Xiu Zhe suddenly missed a pat in his heart, but his face did not show any clues, and he smiled: "You want us to save those disciples who have lost their minds?" ā
Ophelia nodded and said, "The Arad Continent is a continent that pursues the supremacy of power, unlike us who only believe in wisdom, if it were you, you would definitely be able to save thousands of GBL cultists." ā
"What about the pay? I don't think you've lost the 'Great Blue Truth' you hold, right? Forrest Gump said simply and clearly, he is not a bad person, there is no benefit, why should he work hard? He was not a devout believer in GBL.
Ophelia's face was a little bitter, Forrest Gump was right, the 'Great Blue Truth' that knew everything had been kept by the GBL Sect Master, but the Sect Master was killed in that riot, and the Great Blue Truth has disappeared.
Gritting his teeth, Ophelia knelt on the ground with a puff, his forehead slammed on the ground, and his body trembled slightly: "Please, if you can really save the GBL Church, the entire GBL Church will always regard the two as friends." Even... Even I can be a cow and a horse for the two of you for the rest of my life. ā
Forrest Gump didn't speak, just quietly looked at Ophelia who was kneeling on the ground, Xiu Zhe was also not touched, but he was still a little satisfied that Ophelia didn't lie.
"Master, it is true that the great blue truth has disappeared, but I think things are not that simple, and the evil things that Ophelia said are not black nightmares."
Xiu Zhe looked at Forrest Gump, he never took the broken book that was too boasted by the world too seriously, as the saying goes, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment, if the blue truth can't give him the perfect answer, Xiu Zhe will not feel any sense of loss.
"You want to help her? The reason? You should also know that with the power of the Black Nightmare, even a person of my level cannot influence it, and the mysterious woman who jumped out of the Screaming Cave to attack us could never have become like that because of the Black Nightmare. Forrest Gump said coldly.
