Chapter Forty-Eight, The Guardian's Past (2) (Today's Second Update)
On the tree-lined path, there was silence, and no one spoke for a long time.
At this time, it was almost evening, and even some birds and monsters were resting quietly in their habitats. All the way down, all you can hear is the irregular footsteps.
It may be because of the sunset, the temperature that should be just right, but it seems a little cold. This kind of cold, cold to the bottom of my heart......
Arras took a deep breath, as if he had finally figured something out, and cleared his throat to speak.
"Hum ......"
Dawn's eyes fell on Arras at the same time, waiting for him to speak.
"The 'Tree of Souls' is the medium through which the 'Soul Fragments' are cultivated, and the material is the human soul. People are always human beings, so no soul can get rid of the seven emotions and six desires! ”
"And an organization wants to gain greater power, even eternal life. Therefore, a set of evil formations was researched, in order to refine the 'soul fragment'. ”
Speaking of which, Arras pulled out a map. The map was no stranger, it was the treasure map they had seen before Dawn.
"The place marked above is the formation pattern of the formation, and the cave where you are just now is the formation eye, which is the core of the entire formation!" After speaking, he didn't forget to point to the location on the map.
"And these eight markers just form a formation, you can understand that the Thorn Forest is now a large magic array!"
"Then the purpose of your travels is to destroy these formations? Although the mayor of that town is strong, it has not reached the point where the major empires can't control it, right? Dawn raised his doubts in a flash.
Arras nodded with satisfaction, being able to ask these questions means that this apprentice is not stupid, although he can't stand it because of his poor strength.
"This little mayor is a p, he's just a pawn. The organization that manipulates him behind the scenes is the most feared, but the rulers of the major empires are carried away by the temptation of power, and waging war on a large scale will one day make them regret even their intestines! ”
Alaston paused, then sighed, and said helplessly: "When that time comes, it's too late!" ”
After a long sigh, the whole person seemed to be much older.
Su Yao and Ning Meng were a little unclear, so they waited for Arras to continue, at least to make it clearer.
Duanmu Bai shook his head and said, "The material of the 'Soul Stone' is the soul, so it needs people to die. So where do you say there are the most dead? ”
"I see! It's the battlefield, start a war, and more people will die! Su Yao suddenly realized.
A hint of foreboding crept through Dawn's mind, and he thought of the general in Sunset Town. Just because he has a "soul fragment", if you want to say that he has nothing to do with this matter, who believes it? This is not the most terrifying, if some empires are in the same breath as this organization, it will be unimaginable.
In such an aggressive war, corpses will inevitably be scattered all over the field. Fortunately, judging from the Sunset Town incident, these imperial militaries who are in cahoots with mysterious organizations have not yet attacked ordinary people.
"Then if the empires are prevented from starting a war, and everyone unites to fight against this mysterious organization, will the problem be solved?" Ning Meng looked at Arras and asked innocently.
"Hahaha......" Aras laughed loudly, but there was no trace of joy on his worried face.
"This statement is true, and it is also wrong!"
Arras finished laughing and began to answer.
"There are many kinds of desires, everyone has desires, even the beasts. And especially the higher the power, the stronger the desire! Without absolute force repression, persuasion alone cannot be useful! If it was before, of course it would, but now ......"
Arras continued to sigh, a look of helplessness crawling all over his face.
"...... now?" Su Yao, who didn't know everything, repeated suspiciously.
Duanmu Bai explained to Su Yao: "A team of 5 people called the Guardian has been guarding this continent with absolute force for thousands of years. But the previous generation of guardians disappeared mysteriously, and there was no restraint. Humanity, which has not experienced war for thousands of years, has forgotten the suffering caused by war. And the people in power of the major empires launched an invasion as a matter of course, and everyone wanted to be the king of this continent. Do you understand? ”
Arras looked at Duanmu Bai intently, and said in surprise: "How do you know this?" ”
It was not only Arras who was surprised, but also Dawn. By the way, Su Yao and Ning Meng both stared at Duanmu Bai deadly, such a secret is just like in the movie. They can't wait to know the results.
"Of course, it's the explanation when you change jobs!" Duanmu Bai smiled wryly. However, this sentence can obviously be mixed up, and it makes sense in both emotion and reason.
"And then?" Ning Meng blinked his eyes and kept turning his head between Arras and Duanmu Bai, waiting for who would speak first.
Arras looked up at the sky with a confused look, and when Dawn turned his head, he saw that Arras's eyes were slightly red.
"Let me tell you, this mysterious organization should be called the 'Seven Sins'. The master mentioned it when he changed jobs, and one of the previous generation of Guardians suddenly rebelled. Joining forces with this 'Seven Sins' organization led to a devastating blow to the remaining 4 people. Among them, only my master escaped, and the other 3 should have died in that battle! And my 'Demon Hunter' profession is also from here. That's all I know! And ......"
After Liming finished speaking, he stared at Duanmu Bai with bated breath. "Also, Xiaobai's 'Seeker' profession also comes from here. Maybe...... Maybe this is fate! ”
Combined with the "inheritance of the third child" mentioned by Arras in the cave, Dawn guessed.
At this point, Liming didn't dare to continue to guess, and he vaguely realized that it must be more than fate that connected all this. He remembered a sentence: "Many coincidences in this world are actually artificially created!" ”
However, he will not say these words again. Because he didn't believe that Duanmu Bai would harm himself at all, otherwise there would be no reason to sacrifice his life so many times. If you continue to speculate, I am afraid that Su Yao will think more. So there are some words, you still have to know them in your heart.
And...... One day, Duanmu Bai will honestly explain all this!
Liming thought confidently, and his eyes never left Duanmu Bai from beginning to end. He believes that this day will not be too far away!
"What about the rest of the Guardians? Where did it go? Who are they? Su Yao hurriedly asked. With a strong sense of curiosity, if you don't figure these things out, you probably won't be able to sleep well tonight.
"Uh......" Dawn didn't know how to answer, but the question really stopped him.
Arras stretched out his large, rough hand and rubbed it violently on his face. He has the best face, so he can't let the juniors see the jokes! "There are 5 Guardian Legends, with the titles 'The Arsonist', 'The Light Whisperer', 'The Reaper', 'The Demon Hunter', and ......"
Dawn's heart rose to his throat, and the more Arras spoke, the more nervous he became, and a strong premonition told him......
Fortunately, Arras didn't keep Dawn waiting too long. "And the Apocalypse!"
Dawn and Su Yao looked up suddenly, Su Yao was looking at Dawn, and Dawn was staring at Duanmu Bai deadly.
"Oops, what a coincidence! Hahaha......" Duanmu Bai laughed awkwardly, trying to ease the atmosphere. Su Yao couldn't see it, he didn't believe that Dawn didn't feel it at all. My mind was racing, thinking about how to skillfully manipulate the past.
"This is fate! It's providence! Duanmu Bai then started haha......
