Chapter 137: The Dark World and Part of the Truth
Tick, tick......
In the damp and gloomy underground world, the moisture of the rocks condensed into water droplets, dripping on the cold ground, making a crisp sound, bringing some life to this isolated dark space.
Ahem......
Presto hugged his right arm, coughing out in pain, when he fell into the abyss, he and Alsace and Eliza were accidentally separated, in order to save his life, he could only forcibly insert the sword into the rock to cushion the force of the fall, at the cost of a broken weapon, injured his right arm, he also fell from a high altitude, and fell out of breath, but fortunately, with his strong body, he was lucky to save his life.
Presto didn't expect such a change during this hunting trip, so he didn't carry any lighting equipment with him, and could only barely see by relying on the faint glow of fluorescent fungi.
"That damn kobold, it's abominable."
Slowly walking to the side of the fungus, Presto found a hint of comfort, he leaned against the cold hard rock wall, and cursed in annoyance, his voice came far away in the darkness, and at the same time alarmed some ghostly beings.
Dark...... Spread.
Presto, who was gasping for breath, was not yet fully awake from the fall and collision, his eyes were half open, and he tried his best to resolve the discomfort of his body with the strength of his body.
These black figures, like ghosts, stood outside the fluorescence, and the unaware Presto did not realize that he was already surrounded by wolves, and the fungal fluorescence he relied on was slowly shrinking under the erosion of the dark aura.
The restless darkness, can't wait to shuttle through the fluorescent border, the more they feel alive, the more they can't suppress the primordial desire, they want to pull Presto into the eternal darkness, become a part of them, until Presto is a little better, only to suddenly realize that at some point, they are already in deep danger.
The fungus fluorescent, which should have covered the space of five meters around his body, but now, there was less than half of it, although he couldn't see the scene in the dark, but through the spiritual sensitivity of the fourth-order powerhouse, he was extremely sure that there was something terrible hidden in the darkness.
Burst!
Presto mustered all his strength, spat out the blood in his abdomen, and slammed into the darkness like a blood arrow, and in the moment when the blood light flashed, his eyes caught a black withered arm, severing the blood arrow with lightning speed, and redrawing the boundaries of the fluorescent realm.
"What the hell?"
Presto was shocked, he clearly realized that without help, there was no chance of survival on his own, but the approaching dark world, like a prison, blocked the sound of dripping water, and cut off his possibility of calling for help.
At this moment, Presto can only be trapped in the fluorescent realm, witnessing the dark world slowly approaching in silence, at this time, he can even feel that the darkness in front of him is restless, excited, resisting the urge to rush up, opening his arms, suppressing the excitement in his heart and waiting for the moment when he is forced to plunge into the darkness.
"Damn, is there no way?"
Presto is a powerful warrior, if he faces a legendary orc, he will also have a chance to fight back desperately, he will not be as powerless to deal with it as he is now, helplessly waiting for death to come, as time passes minute by minute, the darkness finally advances to his side, Presto's throat is hard to shake, still does not muster up the courage to launch a counterattack, slowly closes his eyes, and gives up all resistance.
The darkness froze, and all the ghostly figures crowded around Presto, enjoying the breath of life, and they showed their withered and sharp claws, scrambling to grasp the human beings who were determined to live and die.
And at this moment, the fungal fluorescence seemed to break free from the cage, instantly recovering the limit range, feeling the dark aura far away, and Presto, who was almost alive, burst out with surprise in his eyes, and couldn't help but gasp for breath, and sat on the ground with cold sweat, his eyes inadvertently fell to a little light that gradually walked in.
Is that......
Presto looked surprised: "Count Anduin, why are you here?" ”
"When the mountain giant recovered, I hadn't left the subsidence range."
Anduin took the transparent candle and slowly came to Presto's side, using the powerful healing technique at the protagonist level to heal him from his fall injury, and after a short time, Presto recovered most of the time, and expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Anduin.
"Hehe, the Holy Light has taught me to purify all sentient beings, and it would be a bit superfluous to say thank you." Anduin's gaze met Presto's eyes, "I wish I could get the bracelet that Princess Kalia knitted herself." ”
Under the background of the candle flame, only Anduin showed a pale face, and the faint eyes saw that Presto couldn't help but tremble, and quickly calmed down, and said with a dry smile: "Don't worry, when you get out of trouble, I will let her weave a bracelet immediately." ”
"No!"
Anduin's face was solemn, and he shook his head solemnly: "I suddenly changed my mind, no matter how hard Her Royal Highness the princess is, the quality of the finished product cannot be compared to the one in Prince Terenas's hand, so, I hope you can help me get it." ”
Presto's expression changed, and he showed a look of embarrassment: "This ...... Something is not so good, and the bracelet is proof of the reconciliation of the father and daughter. ”
"Well, I didn't think it through."
Anduin's understated voice made Presto secretly relieved, but then, a solemn look flashed, just because Anduin said indifferently with a cold expression: "I hope that Princess Kalia can use the same material and the same method to make a bracelet with the same effect, I don't know, Your Excellency Presto, can it be done?" ”
Silence, Presto had to choose silence, when it came to this, he had already realized that Anduin had found the problem, and his heart suddenly became vigilant, and asked in a deep voice, "How did you find out?" ”
"Because I'm the embodiment of the Light."
Anduin once again pulled out the banner of the Holy Light, but Presto shook his head and sneered: "That's just a gimmick, only fools and weak people will believe the lies made up by the Holy See higher-ups, the Holy Light has always been just a collection of unconscious energy, it is impossible to bring the so-called incarnation of the Holy Light, you are just a puppet of faith created by the Pope to redeem the dwindling faithful believers." ”
"Hearing you say that, I seem like I'm just an ordinary person with a false aura?"
"Of course not, I know that you have a unique talent, and many people know that you have a unique talent, but because you are a priest, and the authority of the Pope is terrifying, and his voice becomes the mainstream, so you become the embodiment of the Holy Light, not the incarnation of demons and the incarnation of shadows."
Presto told the truth that Anduin didn't know, looked at Anduin with an expressionless face, mistakenly thought that he couldn't accept such a blow, and immediately said sharply: "Count Anduin, you have been used by the Pope, and the mainstream voices that are currently circulating are just a carefully crafted deception, you stayed in Stormwind Town before, and you didn't know the situation of the Silver Fortress, but I know that with the fame of the Holy Light Incarnation, some disheartened people have regained their faith and gone to worship in the Holy See, and there are many more priests." ”
"It seems that I still have some positive effects, at least my strong faith can bring some comfort to the people." Anduin shrugged, remembering Eliza's words in front of the harbor church, and then chuckled softly, "You know, after a long time, the fake can become true, in the eyes of you people, I am now a fake incarnation of the Light, but when all the believers think that I am the incarnation of the Light, how much do you think your voice will do?" Don't tell me that in the face of power, everything is false, because of your words, I have officially decided to go to the top of the Holy See, and if you expect to cover up your problems in a few words, it is really a big mistake. ”
"No, you listen to me!"
Anduin didn't bother to listen to his words, so he immediately waved his hand to interrupt: "I just want to know what forces are behind you and what are your plans, if you still want to resist or quibble, then I will let you see, I, the incarnation of the Holy Light, is not called in vain." ”
