Volume 5: The Elegant Tea Party (Remastered) Chapter 64: The Tea Party (Resurrection 2)
"How do you get out of here?" Kabran put his chin on his fingers and said with a grim face, "It seems like I do have something similar!" But! How can I believe you're leaving, Jean? ”
"You should know very well that it is simply impossible for me to leave from the normal path like everyone else!"
"Oh yes! Is it another husband and wife quarrel? Why don't you let that fox beat him up! Kablaan said in a teasing tone, looking at Avelina standing behind Jean, "Or have you found a new love?" ”
"Looks like you're not going to tell me how to leave!" Although Kablaan did not show any hostility, Jean knew very well that without any trust between the two sides, it was absolutely impossible for the demon to give him such a generous way to get out of here.
The Demon Cabran Ross, unlike all the other Executors, is the only Executor to join the Snake of Devouring in the world of Entagre, his name, age, nationality, identity, and none of them even know which Apostle he was invited to. The only thing Jean knows is that this guy's combat power is definitely no worse than his own, because Kablan was tested after joining the Snake of Eater, and in the test, he managed to escape from the assassination of Alan Shadowsong, and even almost killed the past with the wind.
"Don't call me like a bad person!" Kabran smiled and waved his hand, "You see, inside that gate is a fortune that is worth a lot of money, enough to make one step into the sky, and you told me that I have no idea about it, I just want to leave!" If you were replaced, would you believe it? ”
Jean shook his head: "Not only will I not believe it, but I will turn the person who said this into a corpse!" Because only corpses don't lie! ”
"So look! I'm a good person! ”
Although the conversation between the two had no smell of gunpowder, Avelina's heart hung in her throat, because she could clearly feel that Jean, the mad lion standing in front of her, not only did not relax because of this, but the whole person entered a state of imminent battle. From that tall body, Avelina could clearly feel Jean's surging fighting spirit.
"Looks like I'm left with one last option!" Jean bent his body slightly, and put on the fighting posture of a warrior monk, "Since you refuse to give it, then I have to take it myself!" ”
"Then it depends on whether you have the ability to do it, little kitten!" Kabulan narrowed his eyes, and his body began to enter a state of void, which is his special ability as a ghost, in this state, the movement speed and attack speed of the body will be greatly improved, and at the same time, it has a very good reduction in ordinary physical damage, in a sense, this is equivalent to the past after the ghost is in the wind.
The Gabrieb brothers, who were dealing with the monsters, were disgraced by the Yellow Sand Monster, but their attention was always on Kablan and Jean. After perceiving that the two executors were about to officially open the film, Gabe, the older brother who is a warrior by profession, glanced at his younger brother Ribu.
Ribu, the younger brother of the halfling wanderer, nodded, pulled out a bundle of goblin explosives from his backpack, lit it, and threw it directly in the face of the yellow sand monster.
Rumble! Goblin explosives are known for their power, and the entire square is shrouded in the sound of explosives and flames, and a large number of monsters roaming the square do not hesitate to converge towards the place where the explosion sounds.
Under the cover of the smoke and dust of the explosion, the two brothers rushed to the gate not far away as fast as they could. They didn't want to stay here and entangle with Kabran now, as long as they rushed into that palace, they would have untold wealth and treasures. The only thing the brothers were worried about was whether Silas, who had entered there first, would scavenge for the goodies.
On the other side, the imminent battle between Kablan and Jean was interrupted by the gathered Sand Monsters, who were not yet arrogant enough to think that they would be able to escape surrounded by so many monsters!
Kabra jumped behind to dodge a yellow sand monster that pounced on him, and watched the halfling brothers rush open the palace gate impatiently, sneering and shaking his head: "I have never seen such a fool in such a hurry to send him to death!" ”
He didn't stop this time, nor did he warn the two guys again, but after glancing at the two brothers, he turned his gaze back to Jean: "It seems that this fight can't be fought!" I didn't expect me to leave so many marks, and in the end, it was only those two idiots and you who ended up here! I thought more people would be interested here! Looks like I miscalculated! ”
"Do you think everyone is as greedy as they are?" Kablaan flinched, and Jean was naturally reluctant to take a huge risk.
"Isn't greed a characteristic of human beings?" Kablan said with a smile, then disappeared into the darkness around him under Jean's gaze.
Putting away his blade claws, Jean had no intention of approaching the palace: "Let's go!" There's nothing I'm looking for! ”
"But we haven't got a way out of here yet! Maybe there's a magic circle in that palace that leads to the outside world! ”
"You can go and try!"
"What about you?"
"I'd rather gamble that those two women are out of the ruins above!" Jean left the square without looking back.
Averina hesitated for a moment, stamped her foot, bit her lip and chased in the direction that Jean had left.
At the same time, Silas' dagger finally touched Jasmine's skin.
I have to say that she coincidentally seized this only opportunity. At this time, Shatar was fusing his body in the temple hall in the middle of the ruins, absorbing the soul power of those players, all his spirits were placed there, and he had no way of knowing everything that happened in the palace, if Silas had entered here earlier, I am afraid that she would have been crushed on the spot by the terrible power of this lord of yellow sand.
Just as the dagger was about to cut through Moria's skin, the necklace hanging from the woman's neck emitted a dark golden light, which instantly enveloped Morian's entire body, and the dagger in Silas's hand was firmly blocked by this light, and she could no longer touch Morien.
Silas then discovered that the necklace hanging from the woman's neck, the necklace looked to be made of gold or pure gold, especially the pendant at the end was very peculiar, it was a palm-sized hollow disc, made of two golden rings, the center of the disc was a small but delicate hourglass, connected to the inner ring by six diamond-shaped crystals of different colors, and the center of the hourglass was inlaid with a golden eye.
Those rays of light emanated from those golden eyes, and under this light, Morian's body was like a fossil tightly wrapped in amber, full of the vicissitudes of time and history.
"Damn it!" Silas immediately realized that he had triggered some kind of protection mechanism, it was clear that the necklace was the prop that the emperor used to protect the woman, and with this item activated, the Lord of the Yellow Sand, who had left the palace for some reason, would undoubtedly return immediately, and Silas did not think that he would be able to crack the thing before then.
It's a big deal for the mountain! Silas immediately gave up his plans to continue studying the jade coffin and the woman, and turned to the collections that were displayed on those shelves.
But some people don't want to let go of the jade coffin that can be seen at a glance as the best treasure in this palace!
The Gabribe brothers, who rushed into the palace, ran to the jade coffin with all their strength, and the dark golden light made them think that there was an artifact lying there. Because apart from the artifact, they couldn't think of any prop that would emit such brilliance.
Silas naturally saw the two brothers, but she didn't have time to remind them that every minute and every second was very important at this time, and she didn't want to waste some loot that might be in her hands because she wasted time!
Perhaps it was for this reason that Silas escaped the tragic end of dying on the spot!
Just as the halfling brothers were about to rush onto the platform where the jade coffin was placed, a powerful tremor came from the underground of the palace, and this concussive force even easily destroyed those indestructible stone slabs, and raised a bag of earth several meters high in the center of the palace.
The next moment, the earth bag exploded, and a cylindrical thick figure burst out of this hole in the ground with a diameter of almost ten meters, straight to the zenith, and then made a sharp turn in mid-air, and swooped down fiercely towards the jade coffin.
The powerful coercion from the cylindrical figure shocked the halfling brothers in place at the same time, and they couldn't move a single step, only Silas, who had escaped more than ten meters, could see clearly that the huge figure that came out of the hole in the ground turned out to be a cyan sandworm!
The coarser body than an ordinary adult sandworm, and the outer skin that looks almost exactly like metal, undoubtedly proves the strength of this sandworm, and the coercion shrouded in the palace makes Silas judge that this sandworm is very likely to have legendary, even legendary-level strength!
Terrible monsters!
For the Sandworm Lord Chaka Chaka Shaka, several beings weaker than the desert lizard were not taken into account by him, and his attention was only on the necklace around Jasmine's neck from beginning to end. For him at the legendary level, only this artifact was enough to tempt him to come here at great risk and snatch this powerful treasure.
And the necklace that was targeted by the Sandworm Lord was the artifact created by Shatar by gathering the power of the entire Sahra Empire - the Wheel of Fortune!
Fate has always been a legendary existence, no one can master this power, even in ancient times, no god has ever been given a priesthood related to fate, although the goddess of doom Benbasha and the goddess of luck Tymorrah both claim to have mastered the power of fate, but in fact the so-called doom and luck can only affect those who have low strength, even if it is a hero-level existence, you can ignore the power of these two goddesses to a certain extent. It is even rumored that fate is the only power left in the hands of the creator god, and he does not want the children he created to give up their efforts for self-improvement because of such ethereal things, and choose to go with the flow.
Even as strong as a god can't control their fate, Shatar and his Shahra empire are no exception. In fact, the reason why this artifact is called the Wheel of Fortune is just a good expectation of the Shahra people.
In the final year of that war, realizing that the empire was about to fail, Shatar and the nobles racked their brains to find a way to keep the empire alive. After a long time of discussion and thinking, the priests of the temple put forward an idea, since the defeat of the empire is inevitable, can they find a way to hide the empire by some means, and wait for the elves to relax their vigilance against the empire before returning to this world!
It is a good idea to send the subjects of the empire to other worlds, such as Karim (which is now the underground world of the dark elves), but it is almost impossible for the Shahra Empire to send hundreds of thousands of subjects of the empire to Karim in a short period of time, while also carrying enough supplies to survive and thrive.
When Shatar was on the verge of giving up, the court archmage Zegas came up with an unexpected idea to banish the entire royal city into the river of time!
It is known that the ancient dragon Dom, who guarded the river of time, had already been destroyed in the first ancient war, and his soul was hidden in the depths of the river Styx, and since then, the task of protecting the river of time has been entrusted to the bronze dragon.
However, compared to the ancient dragons created by the creator god himself, the bronze dragons were obviously unable to bear this heavy responsibility, and their strength could only barely meet the duty of monitoring and maintaining several important parts of the long river of time, and there were almost everywhere in the entire long river of time that were not in the monitoring of the bronze dragon.
Zegas proposed that the power of the entire Shahra Empire could be gathered to create an artifact, which must be able to protect the entire royal city and protect it from the erosion of time, so that when the elves no longer pay attention to the Shahra Empire after thousands of years, they only need to liberate the royal city from the long river of time, and the empire can continue to exist across this time.
I have to say that this is a very bold and whimsical idea, even for the former kingdom of Lustric, it is not easy to create an artifact, let alone Shahra, which was founded by the remnants of the kingdom of Lopsric.
Shatar finally agreed to this plan, and gathered all the nobles and temples, almost consuming the last resources of the empire, and successfully created the Wheel of Fortune. Unfortunately, due to the lack of time and preparation, the Wheel of Fortune was not tested after it was created, and no one knew if the artifact would be able to meet the expected requirements and protect the empire from the erosion of the river of time.
But the situation deteriorated day by day, and when Sha'tar himself was left with only his soul to escape back to the royal city, the emperor of the Shahra Empire finally decided to activate the artifact, allowing the entire royal city to hide in the river of time, so as to escape the end of destruction.
He succeeded, but also failed! The Wheel of Fortune did achieve Shatar's goal, albeit in a much smaller range, but it still banished the entire palace into the river of time, but he also failed because the price paid to activate the artifact was too great!
The wheel of fate drained the power of the nobles and priests who remained in the palace at that time, and even the souls were squeezed out, not only that, but the power of the artifact even uncontrollably affected the commoners who were hiding in the royal city, and their souls were banished in the long river of time along with this palace, leaving only their bodies slowly decaying, and finally becoming Yellow Sand Monsters and Yellow Sand Slaves.
Shatar had only time to use his last strength to protect Jasmine's body, and use the power of the Wheel of Fortune to bind her body and soul to the artifact, making Jasmine the owner of the Wheel of Fortune and preventing his beloved from disappearing into the endless river of time.
And with Silas's rash moves, the wheel of fate, sensing the danger, subconsciously used his own power to protect Jasmine, which made the power of this artifact leak out of the jade coffin, and the seal left by the elves was on the verge of collapse, and finally made the sandworm lord Chaka Chaka Shaka sense the power from the artifact, and rushed into this underground palace from the ground at great risk in order to seize this artifact.
