Chapter 549: The Well of the Moon
"Davidson, how did you get out and how did you get here?"
Similar to the outfit of the Great Colosseum during World War I, Senia Oren is standing next to someone at this moment, still wearing a robe and covering her figure.
However, under the seemingly usual countenance of the Queen of Lies, Moriarty read a strange paleness. It was not white due to blood loss or detachment, but a real white mark made of necromantic power. In other words, Senya Oron was indeed seriously wounded, and until now there is still a glimmer of light from the Lord of Amun in her body, which continues to deepen her injuries and suppress its ability to restore itself.
"After you 'left', the Infernal Walker and the Fire Infidel exploded in despair at the same time, and the shockwave and infernal flames temporarily obscured the traces, and I was able to hide in the Arena of the Dead. And the reason why I came here is because the way back to the dark world has been completely controlled by demons, and I happened to hear the news of your appearance in the forest of black ashes, so I hurriedly pursued it. โ
Under the wary and scrutinizing gaze of Senia Oren, her mind raced, and Moriarty had roughly made up a story with obvious flaws.
As for whether the Queen of Lies believes it or not, it doesn't matter much. Anyway, his ultimate goal is to capture and kill the other party, so it doesn't matter if he really wants to do it directly. However, if he can "communicate peacefully" first, Moriarty still hopes to find a good opportunity to "take advantage of the unpreparedness" before doing it. After all, even if Senya Oren's strength had dropped to level fourteen due to injury, the "Golden Flame Armor" that appeared in the eyes of the Chaos Zombie Lord was still extremely alarming.
However, after listening to Moriarty's not very reliable explanation, the Queen of Lies did not seem to have any more doubts or questions, and seemed to accept this "fact" as such. At the same time, it turned its gaze back to the other side of the block, where the Sacred Unicorn and the Tree of War were almost fully formed.
"Don't fight hard here. Unless it lasts until sunrise tomorrow. Otherwise, these 'things' will not be killed, and they will become stronger and stronger. โ
For the tall and majestic unicorn, Senya Oren is also wary. Especially when she saw the white spiral halo faintly stepping out from under the other party's four hooves, the Queen of Lies was solemn again.
That's the famous "Unicorn Divine Light", which not only has the power to suppress the "Nature Dispel Aura" that is stronger than the "Nature Dispel Aura" of the Tree of War, but also has its own "Forced Sleeping Beam". It can continuously test the will of all hostile targets in the field within a unit of time. If this is not done, the enemy will fall into a forced slumber for up to half a minute, and will not wake up until they are attacked by a new attack. Ignoring magic resistance, bloodline abilities, or other resistances, you can only resist with willpower. Otherwise, even the dark dragon, which claims to be magically immune, will have to fall into a deep sleep without consciousness and resistance if it cannot resist the identification of the "Forced Sleeping Beam".
"Follow me."
Without waiting for the Divine Unicorn to officially appear, the Queen of Lies let out a soft snort and turned around and quickly walked away to the other side.
See here. Moriarty immediately followed. At the same time, he looked back at the unicorn that was about to start walking, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Senya Oren's lead, in a matter of moments, Moriarty leaped over several blocks and numerous buildings, and sped straight in a certain direction. And the two-sword rangers, Pegasus knights, or harp shooters he met along the way didn't care about him at all, and they were all sent directly by the Queen of Lies, which was simply neat to the extreme.
Seeing this qiฤ, Moriarty couldn't help but feel wary.
Clearly, Senya Oren possessed some skill that could accurately orient herself in the thick fog of the ruins. And have a clear goal to target. Compared to the direction of Moriarty's vision, it is much stronger. So if the two are facing each other head-to-head right now. Then before the start of the fight, someone has already fallen into a huge disadvantage, and completely lost the strategic initiative.
So, if possible, at least until dawn tomorrow and the ruins return to "normal", Moriarty just wants to follow his target "with peace of mind" and try to avoid conflicts.
About five minutes later. Led by the Queen of Lies, the two had traveled at least a few kilometers, and the street buildings in front of them were still continuous, but the spacing and shape were wider and taller.
Suddenly, Moriarty understood. The direction in which the other party led the way must be the ancient Moon Temple located in the center of the ruins. Otherwise, if you change the direction, you will at least be on the edge of the ruins somewhere. And the appearance of the building will not change in this way.
"So, what's in that abandoned temple? What does Senia Oren want to do again? โ
Looking at the slender back of the Queen of Lies, Moriarty thought quietly, and her eyes became a little solemn.
As he expected, he walked straight for another minute, then jumped over the last line of buildings, and suddenly, the terrain in front of him became wide and flat, and there was a huge central square.
In the middle of the square ahead, a luna temple with an open dome and a standard rectangle loomed into view.
"There is the temple where the ancient elves sacrificed to the moon god, although it has been abandoned for more than 10,000 years, but there is still a divine grace left." Stopping, and not continuing straight into the square, Senia Oren stopped and looked at the temple, and said quietly.
"So, this temple must be one of the few main temples of the Elven Empire back then? Otherwise, it would be impossible to maintain the Divine Power Realm for so long. Looking at the temple in front of him, Moriarty said.
"Yes." A little surprised that the other party reacted so quickly, the Queen of Lies couldn't help but turn her head to look at Moriarty before saying: "Actually, this temple is called 'Blessing of the Moon', and it was the third largest temple after the two main temples of the Elven Imperial Capital and the Northern Companion Capital. โ
"Tides of the underworld?" Hearing the word for the first time, Moriarty couldn't help but be stunned.
"Well, don't worry about that. Now, you follow me to the temple, where there is a 'temple guard' to assist me in defeating it. If you succeed, I will grant you the power to advance to the fifteenth level of 'Super'. โ
It didn't seem that she wanted to have a deep conversation with the other party, Senya Oren said directly. A pair of bright eyes were more firmly fixed on Moriarty, the meaning of which was unclear.
"Of course, Your Excellency, do as you are told."
Although I don't know what the "temple guard" in the mouth of the Queen of Lies means. Why did he want to enter the old temple, but as a "qualified little brother", he immediately complied.
Seeing this, Senya Oren nodded with satisfaction and her expression slowed down.
Immediately, the Queen of Lies took the lead and entered the Temple Square.
"Dah."
With its step in. A crisp sound immediately sounded in the empty square space, like a stone thrown on a thin sheet of ice.
Then, the white fog that flooded in the square seemed to be alarmed, and the whole was heavy. Then it roared upward, and a huge whirlpool quickly formed around the temple, and continued to radiate outwards like a geothermal spring.
"Keep up!"
With a soft snort, Senya Oren jerked forward.
Even ignoring the hostility and suppression from the ruins, he forcefully summoned the Dark Force and accelerated with all his might.
See here. Although Moriarty felt strange, he had no choice but to spread the wings of the black flame and fight to catch up.
As soon as he entered the square and was caught in the aerosol whirlpool, Moriarty felt Wan Jun pressed down, as if the gravity around his body had been strengthened several times in an instant. At the same time, there is a strong horizontal pull force from other directions that constantly pulls left and right, making people passively deflection. Even the balance is difficult.
And the further you go in, the stronger the pressure and tearing force becomes. It comes from all directions, until it makes it difficult for people to move.
"It's no wonder that Senya Oren wants to turn on the Dark Force blessing, otherwise it would be difficult to go far in such a violent environment with the amount of flesh and body alone."
In the midst of a sharp turn of thoughts, Moriarty had already crossed a distance of 100 meters, and at the same time, his wings were full of black flames.
And in front of him. The Queen of Lies is also surrounded by blue light, keeping the aerosol vortex firmly out of her.
In another moment, the two of them walked another hundred meters. Passing directly through a shrill and furious tornado, Moriarty suddenly felt light. The sight of the eyes also changed from a fog boiling to a clear.
It turned out that under the leadership of the Queen of Lies, the two had penetrated the main body of the aerosol vortex and entered the very center of the vortex.
Just like a hurricane in nature, even if the wind and rain roar outside, it is as calm as an empty window in the center of the vortex. Not only was there no airflow, but even the white fog was gone.
And in a strange and quiet night, the majestic temple of the moon god is already in front of you.
And for some reason, there was no light source, but in Moriarty's field of vision, the entire temple could be clearly seen, and even the delicate patterns on the pillars were visible.
"Ready."
After a moment's pause, Senya Oren took a rare deep breath and stepped forward again.
However, this time he did not rush forward, but walked forward unhurriedly.
And as the Queen of Lies approached the temple step by step, on the ground under her feet, a trace of clear light suddenly lit up, and quickly connected to the Moon Temple along some mysterious and beautiful pattern.
In the blink of an eye, the entire square is covered with clear lines of light, like a huge cluster of sparkling flowers.
Eventually, when all the light streaks were brought to one point, in the center of the temple, a little bright halo lit up.
At the same time, from high in the sky, another ray of true moonlight fell from the void and was projected in the center of the temple, forming a line with that halo.
For a moment, as if some kind of setting had been touched, at the combination of moonlight and halo, a clear and sacred water light suddenly burst out of nothingness, accompanied by bursts of clear and pleasant "dingdong" water sounds.
Orr, the light of the water and the sound of the water condensed from the void, and I saw a small well phantom appear in the temple, and like drawing water, all the moonlight falling in the sky was contained in it, and not a single drop was leaked.
Then, the moonlight entered the well, and the light and shadow of the entire well body became as if solidified by the moonlight, which was unusually gorgeous, and a divine full moon rose directly into the ground.
"That's... Well of the Moon!? โ
For a moment, looking at the dazzling "well", Moriarty was almost stunned.
The form, the brilliance, and the feeling are the same as the legendary "Moon Well", which can accept the moonlight as well water, and is the only entrance to the "Secret Garden"!
"Senia Oren really found the Secret Garden!?"
The shock in his heart was almost surging, and Moriarty had to suppress it fiercely, while quickly turning his gaze from the Well of the Moon to the Queen of Lies.
Sure enough, this inscrutable dark monarch actually transformed deception and truth multiple times, covering up each other in several layers, so that others couldn't tell which was true and which was false. Or it can also be said that in its world, the transformation of truth and falsehood is really only in one thought and one thought, and even in the first place.
Whether it is fighting against demonic forces, coveting the sword of miรจ, plotting against the lava lord, or using the power of Dejia to destroy the demonic high-level forces, or the well of the moon in front of her and the "mysterious garden" behind the well, all of which are the goals of Senya Oren, and they are mixed together in a huge plan, so that all those who actively participate or passively enter are like flowers, and involuntarily follow the actions of "true lies", and finally succeed one by one by the queen of lies.
Therefore, it can be said that although Senya Oren is "only" level sixteen, with her wisdom and cunning, she has done something that only the "Guardian of the Plane" has the power to do. It's really awe-inspiring. Therefore, when such a person becomes his enemy, what he should do is to let go of all distractions and concentrate on killing him, and not to think of using any "sideways" of force or opportunism. Because in this field, there are few people who can play the queen of lies.
And when Moriarty's mind was in a hurry and he was considering his next move, above the temple of the moon god, a strange light and shadow suddenly appeared from the falling moonlight, with some kind of gold-like flash, brilliant and unusual.
Then, the light and shadow expanded rapidly, as if it had been filled with moonlight.
In the blink of an eye, a golden dragon with a huge body, covered with shining golden scales, and flesh and bones that seemed to be condensed by moonlight, had appeared in Moriarty's field of vision.
"The Golden Dragon... Temple Guards..."
At this time, Moriarty finally realized that the enemy that the Queen of Lies asked him to help deal with together was actually this golden dragon with powerful magic immunity resistance and combat power comparable to at least fifteen levels of super poles.
In the world of dragons, the golden dragon and the black dragon can be said to be the two overlords who command the surface and underground dragons respectively, and naturally have the strength and longevity that other species cannot match. Even in the days when the gods were active, it was not heard of any god who could subdue or enslave the golden dragon, but more often resorted to the strategy of gentleness, giving full respect to such superior dragons, or using gold and treasures to hire money-hungry dragons to do things for themselves.
And now, a golden dragon condensed by moonlight suddenly appeared and blocked the path to the temple and the well of the moon.
In this regard, both Senia Oren and Moriarty, as long as they further explore the "Mysterious Garden" that may exist in the future, must join forces here to solve this powerful "temple guard". (To be continued......)
