Second Coming (8)
When the light faded, a cute kitten was fanning the flames behind her back to condense her little wings and circle around Snyder, only to look at the man who had made a pact with him with her emerald eyes.
The kitten flew to Snyder's head, lazily lying on it, making a cute cat meow, as if discussing something with Snyder, and the man was also surprised to see everything happening, and couldn't believe that the beast that had cornered himself was actually such a docile little white cat.
"Aim~~ chirp!"
ββ
Suddenly, the man fell to the ground in a dejected manner, the pain accumulated in the battle just now made him reach the limit, the fiery pain made it very difficult for him to breathe, and the kitten looked at the man's state, and also whined guiltily.
"Scat"
Snyder teased the kitten above his head, then pressed his right hand, engraved with the Fire Emblem, to the man's chest.
"The scorching red lotus fire, please burn all the pain in your body and burn the raging fire of life!"
The power of the Fire Emblem was instantly released, and it was transmitted to the man's body along the texture in Snyder's hand, pulling the man's consciousness back slightly.
Snyder stopped his spirit and put his usual kind smile on his face, then picked up the long purple knife lying on the snow and examined it. The lifelike golden dragon pattern on the knife body is the emblem of the Fan Dragon League from the United Principality of the East.
"Looks like the people over there are starting to notice it, too."
Snyder put the long knife into its scabbard, put it back beside the man, and was about to turn away.
"Ahemβ"
The man raised his hand with difficulty, and grabbed the flame-protected robe on Snyder's body, the strength of this person in front of him was no less than that of those high-level people in the Four Gods Pavilion, such a powerful existence wandered alone in the forest, and the fierce beast with spiritual intelligence actually knew him.
"Haven't told me about you yet; Be; Who? β
Snyder put his hand back on his body and replied lightly: "It's good to be able to cultivate the Infant Moon Gu Clan's secret ritual technique to such a level, but don't force your body too much, after all, this is only a broken part." β
Hearing Snyder's words, the man gathered his gaze, as if he would not let the person in front of him leave.
Seeing that the man was so serious, Snyder listened to the advice of Scat on his head, and used his hand to draw the name he had left in Fan Longmeng on the man's chest. The man was once again shocked by Snyder's name, and then his eyes went black and fainted.
Scat placed him in the camp next to the mine, popping and flapping small wings of flame dangling across Snyder's chest.
"You say there's something strange in there?"
Scat swayed up and down to nod his head.
"Well, anyway, the council hasn't started yet, so let's go in and have a look."
With permission, Scat danced happily and cutely led the way for Snyder.
The tunnel seems to have been newly opened, with only rudimentary beams supporting a passage that can only accommodate one person, and even the ore rails in the tunnel are only paved from the entrance to the central pit.
Illuminated by the light emitted by Scatter's blue pupils, Snyder led to the central pit, where a huge metal drill bit hung above the mine, and the pit was only a three-meter radius, with several small tunnels stretching inward.
"The ore in this pit is quite abundant, but they have to personally lift the rough from below and transport it out."
Looking directly into the pit, you can see the crystal embedded in the rock wall everywhere flashing with a light blue shimmer, which is the Ice Soul Rough Stone, one of the three major minerals in the continent, which can bring great wealth to the miners. Scat hovered over the metal drill bit, then circled around the pit, instructing Snyder to go down.
As we go deeper, the water vapor contained in the mine becomes larger and larger, and in the quiet environment, you can clearly hear the sound of condensed water droplets falling and ticking. The glow from Scat's blue pupils and flame wings was refracted by the crystals that filled the crevices, filling the entire cavern with a rainbow of brilliance.
Following the spiral down the tunnel, Snyder came to the bottom of the pit, from where he looked upwards and was estimated to be less than twenty meters deep. There were no more tunnels to excavate, but Scat was wandering over one of the rock faces.
"Is it here?"
Scat tipped his little head, and then Snyder raised his right hand, controlling the power of the Fire Emblem, slowly melting the rock wall.
Lord Flame Walker, who considered himself well-informed on this continent, was also deeply attracted by the scene in front of him when he saw the scene behind the rock wall, and his expression of shock was overflowing.
Behind the rock wall was a cavity covered with golden ore crystals, and the powerful spiritual energy that emanated was still visible to the naked eye. In the center of the crystal, there is a core the size of a leather ball, where all the psionic energy is emitted. What's even more surprising is that there is a newborn baby girl curled up inside, and the silk threads woven by the condensed spiritual energy are all connected to the golden butterfly wings behind her that are slightly shaking.
"Is this it?"
Before Snyder could come to his senses, the baby girl in the nucleus slowly opened her eyes and said to Snyder.
"You have disturbed the rest of the concubine here, Apostle of Fire!"
A majestic female voice went straight to Snyder's consciousness, and Scat on the side seemed to be very afraid, and hurriedly landed on the ground, gently burying his head on his stomach.
Snyder unhurriedly clasped his hands in front of his chest, bent down and did not dare to look directly at the baby girl in the nucleus.
"It is we who disturb thy majesty, and to forgive my sins, we shall cut off our arms by a dogmatic oath."
Without the slightest hesitation, the power of the Fire Emblem instantly condensed into Snyder's fingertips, ready to punish him with a dogmatic oath.
"Wait!"
The voice reached Snyder's consciousness again.
"The day of judgment is near, and the power of the flame in your possession shall pour out all that you have before it comes, and forgive your sins of disrespect this time."
Hearing the female voice say this, Snyder nodded slightly, and poured the power of the flame into the rock wall again, causing it to melt again.
"Erase what you have seen here, there are people in our companions, those who need to be guided have awakened, please be sure to guide them to the right track, and we will meet again in the near future!"
Looking at the slowly sealed rock wall, the female voice said the last words to Snyder, and the golden light emitted was buried in the earth again.
The momentum of the blizzard had slowed down considerably, and the temperature had reached freezing at midnight, and as soon as Snyder stepped into the spirit realm released by the tower, a magnificent tower suddenly appeared in the snowstorm.
The white frost casts a layer of crystal clear snow on the tower towering on the Tagrant Snow Peak, and the white veil is embellished with a glittering light from the inside of the artwork.
"As the last one to arrive, is the Flamewalker on the road?"
In front of the door under the tower, a line of clear footprints was walking towards Snyder, and then the messenger showed his figure, dressed in a gray-white robe, embroidered with the coats of arms of the four churches on the back and long sleeves, representing hurricanes, pure water, thick earth and fire.
Snyder nodded wordlessly, and immediately Scat jumped on the emissary's head and rubbed it around, letting out a cute aiming sound.
"Scat, don't be naughty!"
Warned by Snyder's slightly tough tone, Scat could only meow obediently, no longer grabbing the brim of the messenger's hat.
The messenger grabbed Scat with one hand, held it in his arms, and stroked its head, and Scat squinted comfortably.
"This little guy is different from the others, he only sees you once every five years, but he seems to be injured."
As the messenger stroked Scart's belly, he felt that it was covered with a protective formation, so he asked Snyder.
"Lord Hui Emissary, when Scat was patrolling outside, he was mistaken for a fierce beast by the local mining team, and he was injured after a little skirmish with them."
The envoy seemed to be skeptical of Snyder's words, after all, as a contract spirit of the generation of flame walkers, even a high-level spirit element could not hurt them in the slightest.
"I don't know if the messenger has any news about the message from the village and town under the mountain, if he just mistakes Scat for a fierce beast, it's fine, but if there is really another powerful fierce beast, I'm afraid I have to deal with it."
"Protected by holy magic, ordinary fierce beasts don't dare to approach rashly, if Scat finds anything unusual when he goes out to patrol, he will report it to us, and the flame walkers don't have to worry."
The messenger said lightly in his usual tone, and Scat in his arms also licked his paws and listened quietly to the conversation between the two.
"I hope everything is okay here, but this year's winter time is much earlier than before, and the scattered forces have been gathering here."
The messenger didn't answer Snyder's words, but only raised his hand slightly.
"Pleaseβ"
This is the secret ritual pilgrimage place that controls the four major churches of Middle-earth, and only the top leaders of the Church have allowed to know. Saverion; Stion Tower. The tower sits on the northern slope of the Targrant Peak, and is only eligible to enter the tower unless the current supreme leaders of the four major churches may have granted the recommendation of the Holy Sayings. Because this place has passed down the mission of maintaining the stability of the sealing circle of the evil dragon that brought about the destruction of the world for generations.
Snyder followed the messenger onto the floating stone slab, which was engraved with a huge six-spirit wheel, and the glow drawn from it caused it to rise in a predetermined trajectory. There are countless portraits hanging on both sides of the track, these are all heroes who once had immortal legends in the continent, but the deeds depicted in the portraits are secret records that have not been circulated outside, and even the chosen ones may not know what is recorded in each painting.
The huge wall where the portrait hung glowed, the excess light emitted by the psionic energy gathering furnace at the bottom of the tower. With the sound of heavy metal grinding, the gears and springs in a huge mechanism above their heads continued to rotate and close.
The two of them passed through the machine door and arrived at the main part of the tower, at which point the movement of the stone slab under their feet turned vertically upward, which was the place that led to the top of the tower, which was called the peak of glory. The huge hollow pillar was covered on all sides with a golden material, and the profound spiritual energy contained in the countless spells engraved on it existed to protect the tower. Even if the destruction starts directly from the tower, Esnyder will probably not be able to hurt in the slightest.
As the stone slab rises, the space of the pillar becomes smaller and smaller, until the vast nebula map above the head is depicted with countless starlight, and in the center of the starlight is the ten wings selected by the goddess Urdena to transform into the ten star palaces. Existing in the legend, they are guiding the trajectory of the continent with their unparalleled divine might.
And surrounded by the Ten Star Palace in the center, is a snow-white court seat, the court seat floats above the Nine Heavens God Domain, its status is higher than the Ten Star Palace, in the battle of Ragnarok, the son of the war spirit Yu Yinchu Holy Maiden stepped out of the court seat for the first time, and it will bring the evil dragon seal of the end to the continent. However, the two deities, who had exhausted their strength, were unable to return to the court, and were later given the name Eternal Secret by the goddess.
Passing through the vast nebula sky, the stone slab rested in front of a large stone door, on which the image of the three goddesses was imaginary, but the one on the right had his face erased, and even his name was listed as an ominous symbol.
"The Death Sacrifice of Chaos; The Goddess of Death; Scol. β
Snyder thought silently in his heart, only to see the messenger make a gesture of invitation again.
"Waiting for you inside, please come in, this is the first time you're late."
The plain and watery tone reminded Snyder, and the messenger silently disappeared from his eyes.
The massive stone door slowly opened to the sides, and Snyder disappeared into the faint halo of light emanating from the crack in the door.
At this time, all the mechanisms inside the tower were activated, and the huge gears and the interconnected springs gradually and perfectly occluded, continuously transmitting the energy of the spiritual energy fusion furnace at the bottom of the tower to the top of the tower.
At the top of the tower is an ancient bell made of Sealed Silver, and no one knows how long it has been with the tower, only once every five years when it will carry out its only assigned mission.
A huge amount of psionic energy poured into the Demon Sealing Silver Bell, shaking at a slow frequency - "Knock-knock-knock!" β
A heavy sound stirred through the snowstorm, piercing the unstable night, and suddenly the blizzard increased suddenly, and the howling wind and snow completely engulfed the earth like the maw of a fierce beast
Seeing the heavy snow that had just stopped falling again, Lampa tightened the black velvet robe that was draped over his body, leaving a half-foot-deep footprint in the heavy snow with every step, and looking back, Lampa had already walked a lot of distance.
"It's here!"
For three months, Lampa set out on foot from Kotkoller and traveled north, passing through the Barandoma Plains and through the northernmost border of the Blue Sky Empire, before reaching the border between the Lotterdam Hills and the Ice Plains.
As soon as you step out of the Lotterdam hills, you will enter the place where the indigenous people of the Far North and the nomadic Mukimo live. They have never set foot in the Ice Plain for generations, and have been living in this extremely cold region by relying on the trade activities brought by the minerals blessed by the goddess.
Lampa stroked the two long swords wrapped in coarse cloth behind his back, and then took out a heavy black ancient book from his bag, the yellowed pages of which were densely transcribed in a script called Baturu. The manuscript in Lampa's possession, called the Confession of the Spirit, was given to him by his master of the arts.
