Act 55 The Azure Path, The Mountain Trial IV
"Behold, Lesmerca, the light of the top of the ancient kings has pierced the clouds and shone over the land, and a voice calls to the king, but the world ignores it."
"But so what?" Lesmerka broke away from Kaya's hand and grabbed the pendant in mid-air: "We don't even know who that person is, he got this qiē, but we will lose one." ”
"Greed can blind people's hearts, sister, and the dusk comes precisely because of the day of final judgment."
"Dusk is dead, the demons are in civil strife, they will retreat into chaos sooner or later, and we must find a strong backer who alone will allow us to reclaim our kingdom." Lesmeka's eyes sparkled: "The kingdom above the earth is stronger than you and I imagined, even the dragon queen is no match for the people on the ground, I have found a person, he will definitely let us regain the lost glory." ”
Strange to say, when her hand grasped the pendant of the necklace, the pendant seemed to have completely lost its magic, and reverted back to an ordinary necklace pendant, lying quietly in the palm of her hand.
The Dark Elf Maiden glanced at her, shook her head, sighed, and said no more.
"Miss Lesmeka?"
Lesmerka looked back a little stunned, and she saw Haruzer looking at her with some caution, her prismatic pupils flickering slightly.
She reached out and gently rubbed the little prince's head, and said, "It's nothing, Haruzer, it's a matter within our clan. ”
She picked up the pendant in her hand, the scales on the back of her hand glittering in the moonlight: "This is the treasure of my clan, Kaya is the priestess of Chokasha, the caretaker of this treasure, this treasure is very important to our people, so I will not fake it to others no matter what." ”
Haruzer looked at Kaya not far away, disbelievingly. The Dark Elf Maiden chose to remain silent.
"Then Miss Lesmeka, put it away, I promise that no one will be able to take it away, you are my sister and my guest, and we will keep you safe in Eruin." He replied.
"Good boy," Lesmeka smiled, "but no one can take it away, but you still have to keep it a secret." Because it's only going to cause trouble for you and your sister, get it? ”
Haruzer nodded.
It was at this moment that a melodious song was heard from the distant hills, and Haruzer turned his head curiously in that direction, he had never heard the language of the song, which was neither the song of the people of the mountains nor the local slang of Anzeruta.
"What's that?" The little prince asked with some curiosity, and the sky was raining golden patches of gold, and the flames seemed to light up half the night on the distant horizon. He didn't expect someone to sing at this time.
And this song seems to have some kind of strange magic, which makes people can't help but feel a little sad.
"That's Toquinine's Lionman." Lesmeka listened for a moment before looking in that direction and replied.
"Why do they sing?" Haruzer asked again, "What are they singing?" ”
But this time Lady Medusa didn't speak.
On the contrary, Kaya, who was on the side, glanced at the little prince and replied, "Because thousands of years later, someone has passed the trial of the mountain, and a king has put on his laurels, the lions of Toquinin, and the dwarves of the mountains. And the inhabitants of Jogandigang, all the people of the earth—"
She said something like this. His eyes fell on Lesmerca, but the latter did not react, but said to her, "So what, how did we get cast out of our homeland and become slaves to the demons?" The people of the earth are already dead, so believe in yourself. Kaya, believe in the guidance of the goddess Zokasha. ”
"It's not just the king of the earth who has come, sister, you know."
Lesmeka's face changed slightly.
……
In the White Rose Garden of the Palazzo San Contipe, all the guests in the banquet hall seemed to have forgotten the passage of time. People looked up like ducks pinched by the neck, and stared at Akane in mid-air with their mouths wide open.
The mountain maiden held a quivering azure spear, and the green dream-like spear pointed in a certain direction, as if it would fly away from her hand at any moment.
Everyone saw that the golden and silver threads of the law intertwined, constantly appearing in the hall and then disappearing, gradually forming a mysterious picture around Akane.
At this moment, the entire hall was so quiet that the needles could be heard, and only Ovina's voice echoed under the dome.
"Hold me tight, but don't tie the will of the holy thing!"
"It seems to be saying something to me, Owena!" Akane shouted a little anxiously, "Am I going to respond to it?" ”
"It's not my voice, it's the echo of the mountains, and someone has tried to worship the mountains."
"What does that mean?"
"It means that there is a king who has returned to Vawender and put on his laurel crown, so the holy sword that belongs to him will be returned."
Suddenly, a loud roar that overwhelmed the conversation between the two echoed in the hall, and Akane felt that the Azure Spear in her hand seemed to become a thousand times more powerful, and a vast will descended on the gun's body.
A sacred sigil was consecrated in the hall.
"Martha-sama!"
"Oh my God, that's Lord Martha's emblem!"
The hall was in turmoil, the world had not seen such a scene since the gods had left, and Martha's emblem was revealed, as if that glorious era had returned to the land at this moment.
But the scene lasted only a moment, and everyone saw that the spear in Akane's hand radiated an incomparably dazzling light, forming a jet forward—a bright beam of light that shot out towards the uninhabited area that Akane was pointing at—the empty side corridor of the banquet hall—and striking one of the arched windows there.
Then a miracle happened, and the beam of light struck the arched window, and immediately opened a gate that no one had ever seen before—a shallow blue sea, and rolling mountains.
The beam of light vanished the moment the door opened, sucking in all the curtains and broken glass near the door.
But in the blink of an eye, the light gate began to shrink. Finally disappeared.
Only Akane in the hall was still holding the Azure Spear, and she watched this scene in amazement, but after a moment, she keenly felt that something was missing from the Azure Spear in her hand.
She turned around, trying to ask Ovena on the side. However, it was at this time that the whole Rustha suddenly shook.
Almost everyone in the hall lost their footing, and they fell to the ground.
After a moment of silence -
Someone asked in a panic, "What was that just now?" ”
"Earthquake?"
"The Imperial Capital has been hit again?"
But the voice did not fall. The glass of the arched window corridor on one side of the banquet hall suddenly shattered, and a strong wind swept in from outside the White Rose Garden, blowing out all the candles and magic lamps in the hall in an instant.
Before the crowd in the hall could react, they were blown up by the strong air current, slammed into the wall one after another, and fell again. There was chaos in the dark hall, and although the nobles did not yet understand what was happening, it did not prevent them from guessing the worst.
There was chaos in the darkness, and people screamed and panicked as they poured into the basement, the room where the teleportation circle was located. The crowd gathered together and dispersed almost everything they could reach, the cries of women and children, the angry scolding of men, the shouts of each other, mixed into the sky.
Only a handful of people in the crowd were able to keep their composure, and Charles, Metisa, and Akane were among them, and the three of them were different from the panicked nobles. Reacted almost instantly.
Charles immediately cast a protective spell for herself, while Metisha and Akane went against the flow of people. Trying to rush out of the hall to see what was going on.
Of the two, Medisa was the first to separate the crowd into the corridor, and the wind from outside did not stop at all, and they hunted through the curtains of the torn arched windows of the corridor, and at first glance they looked like a flying ghost.
As soon as Medisa reached the corridor, she saw a man covered in blood running towards him. As he ran, he shouted at her, "Miss Delphien! Miss Delphien is gone! ”
The elf princess was slightly stunned, and hurriedly helped the other party and asked, "What did you say?" ”
"That portal just now, Miss Delphine is gone!" The man who was clearly dressed as a royal butler had a bloody face and spoke incoherently to her.
Medisa had just understood what he meant, and was about to ask for details. But before she could speak, the light in the white rose garden outside dimmed slightly.
When she looked up, she saw something crawling in through the broken arched window.
It was a creature made entirely of crystals.
Two or three people tall, occupying half of the corridor, looking somewhat like a spider, with four pairs of legs, with a distinct head, thorax and abdomen, and the head part is pointed and thin, which looks like a hook; But the thick carapace on this thing is similar to that of some crustaceans, making it look a bit nondescript.
However, the other party obviously had bad intentions, and the moment it saw Metisa, it raised the front feet of the two teams, and its eyes showed a conspicuous red light.
"Crystal Cluster—"
The little princess was spear in hand, staring at the thing and almost squeezing the words out between her teeth.
……
Time seems to be in a state of stasis for a long time.
Brando thought he was dead, he felt that he was in a dark world, where there was neither up nor down, nor left or right, where there seemed to be no passage of time, no concept of space, only his own mind.
Unable to make a sound, unable to move, he didn't even know how long it had been, maybe a day, maybe a year, or it could have been completely stagnant and not passing, because of the lack of references, he only felt that it was an extremely long time.
"This is the afterlife?"
He couldn't help but think to himself.
But soon, he realized he was wrong.
