Second Coming (10)
The goddess saw that the three major river basins had brought vigorous development to the mainland, and also brought a lot of disasters to the mainland, so she created the Three Emperor Beasts to guard it. The Xuandian Ice Qi, which sleeps in the Ice Cliff in the deepest part of the Ice Styx, the Red Flame Raging Lion that inhabits the Heart of Dragon Fire, and the Meteor Butterfly Cloak that flows into the unknown.
The Three Emperor Beasts wake up once every fifty years, releasing the power of prayer to protect the earth for the stability of the river basin, but each time it appears, it does not take more than a quarter of an hour, and the Meteor Butterfly is an unknown existence. Unlike the other two imperial beasts, the Meteor Butterfly Cloak is an illusory body of light, with no substance, and can be said to be an imaginary existence.
It was already great luck to be able to meet one of the Imperial Beasts, as they would leave behind precious materials woven with psionic energy that could be used to forge the divine weapons of the world.
"After collecting the treasures left behind by the Xuandian Ice Qi and the Red Flame Raging Lion, it can be said that it is already one in ten thousand luck. But to my surprise, under the guidance of these two treasures, I met the legendary meteor butterfly clothes! β
The old man pointed to his left eye, and Lampa knew that the teacher's left eye was blind, and he filled the hole with a replacement prosthetic eye.
"My left eye, as a sacrifice price, in exchange for the remains of the golden wings of the Meteor Butterfly Clothes."
Lampa looked at the Holy Pattern Stone in his hand speechlessly, what kind of magic did it contain?
"In the end, I also promised Meteor Butterfly one thing, but it was too late to complete it with my life, so I can only pin my trust on you, my best child."
The old man put his hand on Lampa's head, and a lot of information about the contents of the Speech Message had been translated flooded into his mind. When Lampa came back to his senses, the old man in front of him had slowly closed his eyes, and the light on his face was obscured by the clouds.
Lampa fell to his knees, crying wordlessly, this mysterious teacher, after being sent to this tower by his parents as a child, he raised himself for ten years. And now, he will take on the last 'homework' assigned by the teacher: "How did you find this bracelet?" β
"Remember when you were hunted down by the Branch Guards in the Cowell Jungle?"
Lampa flashed through all the images that had taken place in that chaotic night eighteen years ago, and suddenly, he remembered a certain voice.
"Everybody keep up, it looks like it's down there!"
The lead Master Chief gave the order, as the scouts who had been sent out reported had spotted the fugitive in the Cowell jungle. And these targets were convicted of defection by the council, and they were members of the Silver Flame Knights who escorted supplies.
In the middle of the search, a meteorite fell from the sky and fell into the jungle, and according to the judgment of the leading master chief, when it was bitterly cold at night, the defectors would definitely gather at the source of the fire.
Sure enough, scattered meteorite fragments created several sources of fire in the jungle, which were used by the hungry defectors to keep warm. Unexpectedly, the guards soon found them and killed them on the spot.
"You go over there and take a look, remember the orders from above, and leave no one alive!" The Master Chief gave orders to the adjutant beside him.
The adjutant dismounted, and slowly approached the place where the light was shining, only to see a deep pit in the ground, in which a rare fire flickered.
Illuminated by the torch in his hand, the adjutant circled the pit and found a shallow footprint on the ground stretching into the woods not far away. At this time, he noticed a silver light flickering in the dirt next to the footprints, and when he opened it, it was actually a bracelet. Then he heard a faint cry coming from under the nearest tree - "Did you find anything?" β
Master Chief shouted, apparently impatiently waiting.
At this time, the adjutant responded: "No, there are only a few fires left in the pit, and there are no footprints left on the ground." β
As he spoke, the adjutant's feet trembled slightly, and the coercion he drove disturbed all the traces on the ground.
"Alright, let's search over there!"
The Master Chief ordered his men to move to the opposite side, while the adjutant looked at the dark woods, smiled and returned to his horse.
"You're the lieutenant?" Lampa remembered the voice, because he knew that someone must have found it, and if he had the physical strength at that time, plus the child in his arms, he would not be able to escape with his superb martial arts.
"Sir remembers, I did spot you at the time, and you seem to have a child with you, right? However, I was only sent by the Church to infiltrate the army to investigate the charges of defector against you. β
"The church?"
Lampa had a look of resistance on his face when he heard the name of Snyder's early church.
"Sir, don't show that look, although the church deeply regrets what happened to you and Head Tien back then, don't forget that you are a qualified person who has been chosen by the teaching aids, and it is time to return to the church and complete the mission with us."
Lampa looked at the black and white sword in his hand, although the oath he made did not require him to maintain the church as an apostle, but there were constraints that if the instructions conveyed by the teaching aids were to be followed. And Lampa also had a vague feeling that the reason why the teaching aids led him here this time seemed to be to meet him to return to the church.
(If it were Tian, what would he choose, but with his character, he would still stick to righteousness and sacrifice himself to protect everything.) "We meet again following the guide, Lampa Lampa, the holder of the Void Treasure; Hengdi, no, you should be called Lampa now; Martini, a teacher at the Les Academy. β
Yuxian slowly said Lampa's current identity, but Lampa just smiled disdainfully: "Since you have investigated me, then open the skylight and say something." β
Truth be told, Lampa was disgusted by this mysterious fool, and from the only time he was recommended by the Holy Motto to come here to be crowned with a false treasure, his instinct secretly told him to beware of this man.
"The only time Sir came here, he already had a grudge against the old man's body and mind, but even so, we are both destined to be guided, and I believe that Sir will have no objection to this."
"I just want to say that the reason why I came back here, in addition to the guidance of teaching aids, is to inherit Tien's wish, protect the world he cherishes, and don't tie me to those guides of fate."
Yuxian was not dissatisfied with Lampa's attitude, and the half of his face cast a chilling smile at Lampa, and then pointed to the bright star core in the center of the crowd.
"As the astrolabe reveals, the increasingly powerful Red Radiant Star has entered the countdown to recovery, and we can no longer maintain the seal, and when the power of the gods is exhausted, it will be the time for the monsters to reappear."
Yu Xian briefly explained the current situation of the astrolabe, and saw that in addition to the red-rayed star, it also faintly summoned the dark stars around it to approach, and one of them was already very close.
The Water Purifier in a water-colored robe spoke, "According to Lord Yuxian's estimation, how long can the power of the seal be maintained? β
Yuxian nodded at the red-rayed star on the astrolabe, and the dark aura slowly overflowed from the star core, and three numbers were displayed under the light of the central star coreβ200
"And what does that dark star that is attracted to the red-rayed star represent?" This time, it was the Thick Earth Walker's turn to ask.
"It must have something to do with the revival of the monster, but I can't see through what it represents, but from the astrolabe, there is more than one such dark star, but the rest have not yet appeared."
Yu Xian sighed, and among the four walkers present, except for Snyder, the other three were slightly surprised, because Yu Xian represented omniscient beings in their hearts.
At this time, Lampa said disdainfully: "Aren't you omniscient, how can there be things you don't know?" β
"Sir doesn't know, Lord Yuxian has spent a lot of energy in order to maintain the sealing circle, and the information revealed by the astrolabe can no longer be distracted to interpret more."
Snyder replied politely to Lampa.
"But now is not the time to sit still, just like Mr. got the guidance of the Void Treasure, he did not hesitate to use the reverse spirit seal to cut off the cycle of positive and negative spirit wheels, and also to delay the recovery time of the sealed monsters, isn't this exactly what we do, working hard to protect this world?"
The old man pointed to the black and white blade inserted in front of Lampa with his thin fingers, and the inscription hidden on the sword body lit up from top to bottom.
Rebel spirit sealing,It was Lampa who learned from the teacher's words and spirit letters,Over the years, Lampa has been analyzing the rest of the content,This kind of text left behind by the goddess of death is a bad omen in the eyes of outsiders,But anyone who comes into contact with it will be cursed by chaos,So that the spirit source is expelled to the outer world,Swallowed by the breath of chaos thereγ
When Lampa analyzes the contents of the book, he finds that all the details above are unknown legends about the three goddesses around Ragnarok. And behind these legends, they all point to the core of the opening story, that is, when dusk returns, monsters will devour time and space.
Lampa was surprised that Yuxian actually knew about the rebellion, but he still kept a calm response to Yuxian's words.
"Don't compare me and Tian to you, I don't have an interest in knowing how many unfamiliar things your church is doing behind the scenes."
The four apostles did not refute Lampa's words, because they all knew that the four major churches had an important position in the continent, and it was inevitable that they would be involved in many open and secret battles between forces.
"There are some things that we have to do, but at the moment it is the first thing to assist Mr. in the anti-spirit seal. The Church is fully responsible for the impact of the closure on the mainland, and we will find the Chosen One to seal the monster again in the time that Mr. has gained. β
- "I didn't promise to help you. Lampa replied coldly.
"You have already made a choice in your heart, fate is still firmly locked in each other, and all consciousness has been absolute since eighteen years ago, isn't it?"
Everything in front of him was gradually covered by the scorching flames, and the bone-eroding chill slowly hit again, and the scenery in front of him had returned to the place where the Anti-Spirit Seal had just been placed, and the black and white blade firmly held by Lampa was inserted into the center of the circle that shone with purple and red light.
"This moment is finally coming, and I regret that I can't set off with you."
Tian's voice came from the other side of the white blade, and the illusory figure stretched out his hands to grasp the black and white blade together.
Lampa smiled and shook his head, conveying Thien's final words of parting to the blade.
"Even my share is also trying to live, pushing the gears of fate to move forward!"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, and turned the black and white blade in their hands together - in an instant, a dazzling red light spread outward with the black and white blade as the center, and the large aperture on the outer edge of the formation slowly rotated in a clockwise direction, while the textures of the six light wheels extending inside joined the large aperture and rotated synchronously in the counterclockwise direction.
As the aperture rotated faster and faster, a pitch-black channel appeared in the middle of the six light wheels of the glowing red halo, and then the six light wheels continued to move towards the center where the black and white blade was, and finally merged together.
A huge repulsion poured out from the junction of the light wheel, resisting the entry of the black and white blade. Not to be outdone, the power of the black and white blade erupted directly from Lampa's hands and spun violently on it, driving the surrounding air flow to form an air tornado, desperately trying to penetrate the barrier formed by the repulsive force.
The two opposing forces came to a stalemate, and the snow around the circle was scattered and scattered, and bright sparks erupted from the collision and a high-pitched hissing sound. Under the continuous impact of the black and white blade, the barrier formed by the pitch-black light wheel gradually cracked at the impact of the tip of the sword-"click-clickββ! β
Seeing that the barrier formed by the light wheel was about to be overwhelmed, and the rotation speed of the black and white blade was slowing down, Lampa threw the silver cone in his hand and quickly recited the incantation. Under the influence of the incantation, the silver cone suddenly released several silver filaments that connected to the dark red of the hilt.
Lampa remembered the last assignment given to him by his teacher - "Son, guide the people you met and prevent the twilight from coming!" β
The teacher's voice echoed in his mind, and Lampa jerked down the silver cone hanging in the air, striking it vertically on the hilt of the sword. Suddenly, there was a crisp cracking sound from the barrier, and the penetrating force slammed the black and white blade directly into the pitch-black channel in the light wheel.
As the pitch-black passage closed, the entire circle retracted into a fist-sized black seal towards the center of the light wheel, and only after a breath of Lampa passed, the long sword that had just submerged into the passage was firmly nailed to the seal, and it was written the word 'cold' in Baturu's script.
Through the silver light of the newly exposed crescent moon refracted onto the white blade, Lampa saw the youthful face of his youth.
In the dimly lit room, the four apostles who still retreated, only the old man in the gray robe remained. Yuxian looked at the astrolabe floating on top of the stone tablet, deducing the trajectory of the stars.
The main star, which glowed with scarlet light, continued to move towards its intended position, and the dark star that had been appearing for a long time on the side was dimmer than before. At the position of the opposition of the red main star, there is a barely visible star that is flickering brightly and indefinitely, and the bright star wrapped around it is the wings of love in the long-hidden Ten Star Palace.
"According to the current trajectory, it will meet the dark star closest to the red star in the near future." Dressed in a robe of flames, Snyder stepped out of the darkness of the room, watching the astrolabe as well.
Yu Xian nodded slightly, deducing the belonging of the star dust in his hand, and suddenly, a terrifying star burst out from the star dust, rushing straight to the snow-white court seat surrounded by the Ten Star Palace
