Act 208 Flame of Dawn IX
Roman held his cheeks and looked out the window at the hazy night with some boredom, and his cheeks made Miss Merchant look a little chubby, revealing a lazy loveliness. She is different from ordinary Eruin, with a hint of purple dark brown pupils reflecting the brilliance of the stars, weaving this story with a girl's dream.
"It's boring, Hipamela, do you like crabs that much?"
The priest girl standing by blushed and replied, "But Miss Roman, don't their carapaces look very cute, they are just thick and thick, and they are in line with the teachings of the goddess—"
"When you say that, it seems to be so cute."
Miss Merchant's eyes lit up, as if she had found something interesting, and she subconsciously turned back to look at the crabs that Hipamela had kept in her precious fish tank—since the last batch of pets had been killed by the chubby dragon Star, Hipamela had replaced these crabs, because they probably didn't die so easily.
But perhaps because he turned too hard, Roman actually leaned back and lost his balance.
She screamed in fright, waving her hands thinking she was about to fall, but suddenly she felt someone hold her up behind her back, and she regained her balance.
Roman was startled and looked behind him to see who was behind him, only to find that the room was empty except for her and Hipamela.
The door was open, and outside was a hallway with a black hole.
"Hipamila, did you just give me a hand?"
"Miss Roman, are you—are you alright?"
Hippamela seemed to have just reacted.
It doesn't seem to be, Roman looked left and right suspiciously.
"Huh, Brando?"
"White Mist?"
She called twice, but no one answered, and her little eyebrows furrowed slightly. Seemingly a little confused about what was going on, he thought about it for a moment and finally ran over and closed the door.
……
Brando looked at the broken holy sword Odysphes in his hand, and realized in his heart that history never simply repeats itself, and empires will decay. But this time, its people had the fire and the sword.
Prometheus brought fire to the world, and from this moment on, humanity had light.
"Resistance, is this what you are carrying?"
Brando exhaled softly, and he tightened the hilt of the sword in his hand:
"So—"
"Let me inherit your will."
Suddenly, however, a sense of resistance came from the sword.
Brando was defenseless, and for a moment he almost let his sword fall off his hand and fall to the ground.
"What's wrong?"
"The sword is resisting my ......"
"Why?"
All of a sudden, the illusion in front of me changed, like a slideshow. Brando saw many people and many scenes in an instant, and finally, a figure froze in front of his eyes.
It was in the royal hall of the Palazzo Saint-Cantipea.
Constance, the silver queen, with a sneer on her face, stood on top of the throne and looked at her condescendingly.
"It's ......"
Arrogant?
Then the visions vanished, and the sight returned to the small room of the cat and the beard, the dim light of the candles flickering. Occasionally, a spark bursts out of the wick.
Sidney looked at him with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"Failed again......" Brando frowned and shook his head. He felt that he had clearly understood the faith that the Holy Sword Odysphes carried, but why did it deny him in the end?
This made him a little discouraged.
"It's okay, it's not an easy thing to do," the lady of the Holy Maiden of the Lion Sacred Palace was more open than him, and her face was calm and comforting: "I can see that your progress today is much better than usual, don't worry too much." ”
That's just as well.
Brando wasn't that easily discouraged. He had already experienced a much more painful defeat than this, and in that defeat, he, they had almost lost a qiē.
He quickly adjusted his mindset and replied, "Let me check again." I feel like I'm making some progress. He was still a little surprised by what had happened, desperate to find out what had happened.
Sidney nodded quietly.
Brando immediately calmed down and began to examine the holy sword Odysphes in his hand, which he was immediately taken aback.
Because nothing has changed in the Holy Sword, it is he who has changed.
The soul of the holy sword Odysphes, which had been hidden in his body, that is, the power of the flame orb, he had never felt the existence of this other party, but at this moment he clearly felt that it was stored in his body.
The Flame Orb seemed to transfer some of its power into his body.
As a result, the most direct result was that his two fire elemental pools had each expanded by more than one-third.
Originally, after a series of battles and strength growth, his Fire Elemental Pool had already grown to thirty-two and eighty-one points respectively, but at this moment, it had been further increased to forty-four points and one hundred and twenty-three points.
And the expansion of the elemental pool was also accompanied by a great increase in his own strength, and his original strength at the peak of the elements had faintly stepped into the side of truth after further improvement.
And the real distance to touch the white tower that reaches the sky is only a line away at this moment.
But what shocked him the most was that he found out that he had been granted another brigade mage privilege.
"What's going on?"
What exactly happened before?
Why did the previous scene have such a change, if he had completely gained the approval of the Holy Sword Odysphes, but at the last moment, why would the sword resist him?
He was puzzled for a moment when he suddenly heard Sidney's voice ask sternly, "Who is there!" ”
Brando immediately came to his senses, looked up, and saw that the Lady of the Lady of the Lion Sanctuary was looking sternly at a corner of the room, but there was nothing there.
No, it's not empty.
Brando immediately noticed something unusual - the corner of the room was disappearing, the floor and walls seemed to be swallowed up invisibly, crumbling and withering, leaving only a void. And the void was expanding infinitely, soon crossing the entire room. It spreads through tables, chairs, and desks, and finally the whole world is plunged into an endless, endless void world.
This is, the world of dreams.
The eleventh country, the invisible realm.
This is the world of 'nothing', the realm of Kastinia.
A figure grew out of the void, 'she' wearing a dark purple witch's robe. The face is also hidden under the shadow of the hood, so it is impossible to see the face, and it is impossible to judge the age, only through the white chin under the shadow, you can judge that she is a mature girl of young age.
Brando saw the other party's star of destiny twinkling in the void at a glance.
The star of the telling, the main star of the constellation Qin.
"You're the witch of the cup moon, and you're Anvi's heir?"
Sidney was about to make a move, but stopped after hearing Brando's words, and the lady of the Lion Sanctuary stared coldly at the woman with her head and tail hidden, as if she only needed the slightest change in the other. She would have struck her down without mercy.
But the woman only humbly bowed to Brando:
"My lord, we witches only inherit the power of December and the constellations, and this power never comes from a single person, my lord, what you are talking about may be my ex, but that doesn't matter to me."
The woman's voice was hoarse and mature, full of the charm of a mature woman, but it sounded familiar, and Brando couldn't remember hearing such a voice there. It stands to reason that he should be very impressed by such an obvious voice.
He shook his head, wondering if it was one of the witches' magic. Only frowned and asked, "Are you clarifying the relationship?" ”
He didn't rush to make a move, because the witch took the initiative to show her destiny star, which showed that the other party had no malicious intent.
Of course, at least on the surface.
"Exactly," the woman said bluntly, "witches are only loyal to the true dark dragon, my lord, the witch of the eleventh." Believer of Castenia, come to serve you. ”
"But right now, there are two dragons of darkness." Brando replied disappreciatively.
"As a witch who controls the realm of change and creation, it would be ridiculous if she couldn't even see through the vicissitudes of fate, no matter how the twin goddesses played with and manipulated the thread of fate. But I could clearly see the clear answer behind the messy thread. ”
"That's you, my lord."
Brando would love to say that your predecessor, the aforementioned Lady Anne, is also the Witch of the Moon of the Cup, who is also in control of the realm of change and creation, but her choice is the opposite of yours.
Not to mention, even he couldn't tell if he was a dark dragon or not, at least from himself, he had never thought of himself as such.
But he thought about it, but he still didn't say it.
"What's your name?"
"Tyr, this is my real name, after the Moon of the Cup."
It's not a good habit for witches to reveal their real names, but they never lie to the moon they belong to, and the other party seems to be showing some kind of kindness, indicating that she really has no malicious intent.
However, this doesn't mean much, as Brando knows that there are at least three witches who can change their borders, and this qiē is meaningless if the other is not a believer in the cup moon.
Therefore, he still didn't dare to believe the other party lightly
Seeing Brando's uncertain face, the woman smiled slightly: "My lord, I don't expect to gain your trust from the beginning, but I have brought more important news, you might as well listen to it." ”
Brando thought about it for a moment and nodded, of course he wouldn't believe information from unknown sources, but even if it was fake news, there must be some kind of intention behind it.
The wizards of Buga have a proverb: 'A lie does not lie,' and that is exactly what it means.
……
In the Palace of St. Cantipea.
The Silver Queen stood quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling arched window, gazing at the cold garden of white roses, and the moonlight poured like milk in the quiet forest, like a dream.
"Is that man still near Ruthta?"
She said suddenly.
The voice was as cold as if it had frozen.
Behind her, the Witch Queen and the Lonely High Moon Witch Agatrice emerged from the shadows, and beside them, another tall figure stood.
If Brando was here, he would have recognized it as Gwendoline, the Dragon Queen who had been missing for many days.
But at the moment she was not in good shape, her face and body were covered with scars, and it was difficult for the dragon to be injured, but once she was injured, it was difficult to recover.
A layer of black shadows covered the wound, and these shadows squirmed as if they were alive, occasionally causing her to frown in pain.
The Silver Queen turned a blind eye to this strange scene, and only looked at the two witches.
"Yes, Your Majesty, they're still there, he and the girl are still there." The Witch King nodded slightly.
"That's good," the Silver Queen also nodded: "The inside line has already passed the news on, he must have thought that my target was Sidney's woman, so he will definitely be there in person." ”
She tilted her head slightly, "I'll give him a surprise, you guys are ready." ”
The Witch King and Agatrice exchanged a look and nodded.
"What about the city, is there anything unusual?"
Witches can eavesdrop on people's dreams about their inner secrets, and the Silver Queen, who has the means to do so, has captured many of her potential opponents from the city of Rusthtar, as well as those who are trying to rebel.
But this time, the Witch King frowned: "There is something abnormal. She replied.
"How?"
"Many people have disappeared from the world of dreams in the past few weeks, and the number of people who disappear continues to increase......"
"Cultist tricks," said the Dragon Queen Gwendolyn suddenly, and she replied with a look of disdain, "don't worry about those bugs, they can't make waves, our biggest target at the moment is that person, don't waste too much energy on this." ”
The Silver Queen glanced at Gwendoline, but didn't say much.
Cultists are really not much trouble, ringworm and scabies.
But it was at this time that the Witch King suddenly let out a scream of pain and opened his eyes violently.
The color of her eyes faded rapidly like a melting silver ball, revealing a pair of beautiful and charming ice blue eyes, but there was a look of uncertainty in her eyes at the moment, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare that frightened her.
This nightmare did not end with waking up, it continued.
"Who, who actually solidified the entire dream world of Rusta, completely closed the borders of Bunosson, who actually has such power?"
"What's wrong?" The Silver Queen stared at her with a frown.
Obviously, she had never seen this woman show such a gaffe, which made her feel a little uneasy.
"Someone forcibly cut off the connection between Bunosson and the present world, blocking everyone's dreams, although it was only for a moment, but it was ......"
"Getting to the point."
"I—I've never felt such power, it's like when the witches of the first generation were still alive, and only they had the power to bring Bunosson into the world." The Witch King gasped and replied with great speed.
The Silver Queen frowned, it was an indisputable fact that the power of mortals had dropped significantly since the era of the Sage War, but that didn't mean that she could turn a blind eye to an being who could ignore the rules of this era.
"Who is she?"
"I don't know, her power is very strange, and she has only been isolated from the dream world for less than half an hour, so I can't track ...... at all"
"But ......"
"But?"
"But I doubt it...... It is suspected that she may be the witch of the previous generation of Cup Moon, the mad woman of Yufkirea. ”
…… (To be continued......)
