Act 241: The Mortal Curtain IV
Akane's body and mind sank into the inner world at that moment, the hustle and bustle around her became far away, and the eyes of everyone around her subconsciously looked in the direction where the silver queen was, and people's mouths opened and closed, as if they were discussing something, but she couldn't hear the slightest sound.
The whole world became extremely quiet, and everything was gone, and only one thought ruled her heart with infinite clarity.
"Your Excellency is here."
"He must be reminded that this is a trap!"
The strength and prestige of the empire that she had seen for months were rooted in the depths of the girl's heart, and the superiority and ruthlessness of the nobles of the empire were like a poisonous blade stuck in her heart, eroding her courage all the time, and only in the deepest part of the nightmare, she seemed to be able to see the end with her own eyes.
Seeing Brando die to save her, seeing Valhalla's qiē disappearing, seeing everyone's hard work turn to ashes, and those qiē that she was familiar with, the fragile reliance and pillar in her heart, completely collapsed and ceased to exist.
"No, no......!"
"I can change this qiē......"
A voice echoed in his heart: "You can." It was Owena's voice, light and soft, like a guide to how people told another story thousands of years ago.
The knight who rests at the bottom of Lake Elaine is called Azure.
"Because ∝ ♀ this is your destiny (and mine)."
"You will be in charge of it (just as mortals are in charge of their own destiny)."
"There will come a day (and there will be a day)."
The two voices coincided in her heart.
She saw a sword, standing on the top of the Ten Thousand Peaks. She saw another knight, in the midst of the storm, pointing to his spear and swearing in sonorous words, as if inscribed on a golden stone.
It was as if from that moment on, a new era had arrived. The people of silver have disappeared into the mountains, the people of gold are no longer coveting the throne, and on the other side of the plains, a group of people of black iron is emerging from thorns and obscurity.
In the height of summer that year, the stars filled the night sky, and the constellation representing the dark dragon still dominated the southern half of the sky. And for these people, they didn't think much about it, but looked beyond the plain with confused eyes through the light of the flickering torches.
And there, it's a whole new world.
The Year of Replacement -
Geert, the Lord of Fire, led humanity across the Great Plains to Osopao.
It is like the long river of history is unstoppable, and the blessings of the gods are finally obtained by mortals, which is the beginning of the mortal world. It is also the last word left by the gods.
The girl replied softly, "I—"
"It's the Azure Knight (it's Akane)."
The girl's heart was full of determination at this moment, and she was willing to sacrifice a qiē to redeem an inevitable result, as if the whole world had been overturned, and it was not as good as a certain thought in her heart at this moment.
Golden flames burned in her eyes, mortal blood faded, and her eyes turned the color of pure silver, and then gradually turned golden, as if the blood of the Miner people. In the presence of such a young girl who is the son of the mountain.
The flames are full of memories. Time passed like water, as if it were yesterday, and she saw the carved window lattices of Fir Castle, and the warm sunlight of one afternoon gently filtered through the stained glass and fell into the room full of her memories.
The girl lay weakly on the bed, holding the golden apple that the adults had given her in both hands. The juice of the holy relic flowed like a sweet spring of water in her heart.
She saw a tall figure standing in front of the bed, and sternly told her:
"One day, Akane, you will go after your own happiness."
"Such a happy ......"
The eyes of the mountain girl suddenly overflowed with tears. I finally understood the true meaning of this sentence: "...... It turns out that he is in charge of his own destiny. ”
Even the most mundane fate.
But no one can help others make a choice.
What is fate?
It is sword and fire, iron and blood, a psalm sung, a troubled life, but in the final analysis, it is a choice. Once the choice is made, the sword of fate returns to mortals.
Akane was holding the sword in her hand at the moment.
Vaguely, she seemed to see tens of millions of troops charging towards the dark full moon in mid-air with strange vehicles.
She saw flying dragons, strange constructed creatures, Valkyries, giants, all kinds of mythological beings, tens of thousands of them attacking the giant shadows above the clouds.
She saw silver-eyed elves, sorcerers in snow-white robes, humans, dwarves, roaring back against the dark army on the horizon, thousands of armies fighting each other.
Then she saw herself.
A long, fiery red ponytail, dark-skinned, clenched teeth, and unyielding eyes in her eyes switched between the ages of fourteen and nineteen.
This is a girl from the mountains of Chablis, she should have been so inconspicuous, but the coincidence of fate has made her stand here at this moment.
And at this moment, she had to make a decision that she would never regret like the sages.
Akane raised the spear in her hand, and there seemed to be a faint resonance above the clouds, and a pillar of light immediately pierced through the sky and plunged straight down.
The Azure Spear unlocked four seals in a row.
An invisible ripple spread out in all directions, and the banquet was suddenly chaotic, and the nobles who had not yet reacted were pushed to the ground by the power of Pei Mo Neng, and the knights showed a look of astonishment, drew their long swords and rushed towards this side, and the court wizard in the distance was rising into the air, chanting a lengthy incantation in his mouth.
But this qiē.
At this moment, Akane's eyes seemed to be a freeze-frame slow-motion picture, she raised her head and roared, and the clouds suddenly shone brightly, and the thunder was like a torrential rain, pouring down, and the court knight who was drawing his sword suddenly flew out, and the wizard who had just risen into the air fell down one after another like stones.
Akane was surrounded by electric snakes all over her body, and the electric light in her eyes was like blazing, like the legendary thunder god descending into the world, she raised her spear again, and a piece of lightning fell from the periphery of the White Rose Garden, and the forbidden army that was rushing in outside suddenly overturned.
The nobles around her had completely retreated, and Conrad was the first to roll under a nearby table with the bewildered Henriette, and only the bear-like mountain prince, Ogos, stood before him.
The latter was also stunned.
Akane didn't even want to think about it. He stretched out his spear and pointed at him.
A bucket-thick electric light screeched towards Ogos, and the mountain prince didn't react at all, if it weren't for the guards around him who sacrificed themselves to save him, he would probably be able to look good, but even so, the two guards were still beaten to charcoal.
But Ogos didn't even look at them.
At this moment, he only had Akane in his eyes. There is only the spear in Akane's hand with countless exquisite patterns floating on the surface.
It was a carved pattern of mountains and storms, earth and the sky.
Only one gun had such a pattern on it.
It was born between the mountains and the storm, and rested beneath the mountains and the earth.
Holy Lance Firmament.
A sacred relic of the legendary mountain people.
"Gods and Demons Spear Gaiborug ......" Ogos' eyes were full of fanaticism, muttering to himself the name of this legendary Azure Spear among the mountain people, and he stretched out his hand to Akane almost in fascination: "How can you have this thing, quick, give me the gun, give it to your man-"
At this moment, he had only one thought in his mind, in the legend of the mountain people. Whoever has the Azure Spear can dominate the world.
That's right, he was the one who was destined to do it, and Martha had given him the spear through this woman, and from that moment on, he had already regarded Akane as his own property.
He will be the king of the hillmen, returning to true rule over the mountains of Wallach, more than just a small fiefdom of the Empire. Rather, it recreates its original meaning, the honorific title of the mountain people for Vaughnde.
This woman. It was his future queen.
And his gun.
Few people know that Ogos was born with the strength of the golden throne, he is the Chosen One, and the mountain people carefully cover up this news, because every Chosen One in history will eventually change the pattern of the world.
It's like Geert, the Lord of Fire.
It's like Eruin's ancestor, Ek.
Or the Earth Sword Saint Daurus.
Ogos is also convinced of this. He was born different, and this moment is a testament to the fact that fate has crowned him.
Not far away, Henriette hid under the table, his mouth covered by Conrad, and he glared. I almost thought that the mountain prince was a madman.
"This guy is so arrogant that he is so arrogant—?"
And although his mind was in chaos, he couldn't help but wonder: What is Her Majesty the Queen doing, is it the real Azure Spear?
Akane frowned.
She sensed a threat from the humanoid beast in front of her, she had thought that this mountain prince was a guest of honor invited by the Silver Queen, and as long as she threatened this person, she might be able to let the queen let the lord leave the place.
In the past few months, she has heard some rumors about the relationship between the mountain people and the empire from the mountain maids around her, and guesses in her heart that since the silver queen wants to buy the mountain people, she will definitely not let this mountain prince have any accidents in the White Rose Garden.
But the direction of the truth was somewhat unexpected by her.
She didn't expect this guy in front of her to be so ignorant, and what made her even more unprepared was that Her Majesty the Queen didn't see this scene, and she didn't say a word from the side, watching coldly.
The nobles in the courtyard had long since fled in all directions, and the knights who had risen from the ground immediately protected the silver queen Constance on the main seat of the steps.
The latter only looked at this scene with a blank face, as if the banquet was not organized by her, but there was a slight strangeness in his eyes, as if he was thinking about something.
The attendant next to him trembled, not understanding what the situation was in front of him, to say that the qiē that was happening right now could be regarded as terrible, not only would Her Majesty the Queen lose face because of this, but the prestige of the royal family would also plummet.
But what they didn't understand was why Her Majesty the Queen, who usually paid attention to this point, would remain silent at the moment. What made them even more uncomfortable was that the supreme man of the empire did not speak, and they did not dare to speak lightly.
I can only wait so tremblingly-
On the field, Prince Osges took a step forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me, your gun." ”
Akane frowned.
Her stubbornness apparently angered Ogos.
"Damn stupid woman, you understand what you're doing? How dare you make a move against your future husband, and in Wallach I will leave a shameless woman like you to the lowliest! ”
"This man is crazy......" Henriette, lying under the table, was full of thoughts. Then he saw Akane raise her spear and stab at His Royal Highness the Prince, who was determined to die in her heart, and every shot was with all her might, and the emerald spear blade was bright with electric light, and the blow hit Augos in the chest.
But to everyone's surprise.
Ogos actually reached out and grabbed the blade of the Azure Spear like a humanoid tyrannosaurus, the sharp blade cut his palm, and pierced into his chest for half an inch, and then he couldn't move an inch, and countless electric lights jumped around his bare skin, but the mountain prince looked at Akane coldly as if he was nothing.
'Wow'.
The Silver Queen stood up from her throne with blazing eyes.
At some point, the Dragon Queen Gwendoline also quietly stood beside the supreme man of the empire.
"The level of the peak of the Truth Side, for the age of a human being, is not bad." The latter replied.
The Silver Queen turned her head, her eyes seemed to be hiding a bright knife, flashing with a terrifying cold light: "Thirty years ago, my astrosorcerer told me that there was a Chosen One born in Wallach, but then there was no news, and when I thought about the news that was covered up back then, it was indeed this person-"
"The fact that the sky can hurt him shows that the blood of the gods in his body is very weak, although it is still half the level of Odin, it is far worse than the little girl sixty years ago." The dragon queen replied.
After all, pure-blood gods.
The Silver Queen moved her lips, but in the end she didn't say anything.
"What are you going to do?" Gwendoline looked back at her.
"Alright, let Agatrice and the others enter, the girl can give it to him, but the Azure Spear can't fall into his hands for the time being." The Silver Queen replied coldly.
"What about Darus's grandson?"
"It's just a mortal, since he's here, there's no need to go anymore."
Gwendoline, who had received this answer, turned her head and looked at the queen silently, and then she turned her head again, and there seemed to be no superfluous expression on her face, but in the vertical prismatic pupils, there seemed to be a smile.
The Silver Queen finally glanced at the messy banquet scene with a look of disgust, it seemed that this private engagement banquet had completely failed, but for the few people present, they had already gotten what they wanted most.
As for the uninvited guest who came, the supreme of the empire didn't take it to heart, and she had already figured out the other party's bottom line in the battle of Hanlu Manor.
At this moment, there are only a few people in ambush near the White Rose Garden, Agatrice and the Witch King, but almost all the top forces that can be called upon by the empire and the royal family at this moment.
If the other party doesn't show up, he may be able to escape with his life, but since he comes, there will be no after.
As for Daluth's grandson......
Constance shook his head slightly, the memories of the past, the breeze of the wilderness of the four realms, the sun of a certain afternoon and Xi, and even the face of Hexi, had long since faded with the wind.
Several witches rose into the sky.
Augsig was smirking and stretching out his palm to Akane's slender neck.
A qiē seems to have a predetermined result.
But there is only one uninvited voice.
The voice was cold, as if telling some justified story, and its owner said lightly:
"If I were you, I would be more cautious about my actions."
"In this way, I will not regret it so much after going to hell—"
Ogos was slightly stunned, then raised his head with a frown.
…… (To be continued......)
