As the saying goes, happy times are always short-lived.

After a day of playing, the people who reported for a meal in the ruins of Casablanca finally regained their vitality. The next morning, they no longer delayed time, but began to help Rhodes find the whereabouts of the Book of Life. According to Lilian, the Book of Life was enshrined in the Temple of Light not far from the palace, so Rhodes and the others immediately searched for the wreckage nearby, but unfortunately, it seemed to be more difficult than Rhodes had imagined.

"I mean, how long are we going to turn over, Captain."

The little bubble gum that had been making a whole day like a drug yesterday was listless at the moment, and she complained boredly while flipping through the stone pile in front of her.

"Until now, there is no book of life here, not even a living person has been seen, but the skeleton has found a lot............ Ah, another one, it looks like he was smashed and his neck was broken, what a bad luck. It felt terrible, it was like picking up the garbage after a school outing, which was a real disappointment. ”

"Cleaning up garbage is a must, to protect the environment, garbage can't be littered, the teacher said."

Hearing the words of the little bubble gum, Bing Xue'er on the other side couldn't help frowning, and then replied. Hearing Bing Xue'er's answer, Little Bubble Gum pursed her lips in boredom, obviously she didn't put what Bing Xue'er said to her ears at all.

"Yes, yes, there is a good student here, anyway, my consciousness is low, I just have the inferior nature of human beings......... Cut. Not everyone is like you. If the regimental commander hadn't asked you for help, would you be so active? If you are given the order by a bald old man with a general's belly. I don't think you'll be able to hide. ”

"I'm not going to do that!"

Hearing Bubbles' complaints, Bing Xue suddenly jumped up like a cat that had been stepped on by its tail.

"It doesn't matter if it's a big brother or not. No matter what anyone else does, as long as it's something given to me, I'll do it seriously! ”

"Look at your stupid appearance, you were sold and you still helped me count the money. I think that after the head of the regiment teleports the Dragon Soul Continent to the other side of the earth, you should find time to go back and see if your deity has been sold to a ravine to be used as a child bride. Really, what's the use of good academic performance, isn't it the same to be deceived when you don't understand the world when you go out of society? It's like those female college students, who read all the books in the pig's head, and as a result, they were abducted by others. I don't know how your brain grows, I think you must be all the way when you grow up......... Forget it, for the sake of you being abducted by human traffickers sooner or later, I won't care about you, anyway, I'm different from you, I'm already a very 'mature' adult. ”

As she spoke, little bubblegum pushed down her almost pitiful boobs and turned her head back to her business. Only an angry gnashing of teeth was left behind her glaring at her, looking at the little bubble gum as if a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water. Bing Xue'er was also angry, she stared at the back of the little bubble gum, and after a while, she stomped her feet angrily and turned her head to do her own thing.

"Hey....................."

Look at these two enemies once again turned on the daily mode. Rode, who was next to him, couldn't help but shake his head helplessly, but he wouldn't be stupid enough to go up and ask for hardship. So he simply didn't see it, but continued to look for signs of the possible existence of the Book of Life in his own acre and thirds of land.

According to Lillian. The temple dedicated to the Book of Life is not the property of the Church, but has always been under the jurisdiction of the Council of Light. The same is true of this temple. Legend has it that the Council of Light used this place as a storehouse, where many valuable magic items and equipment were stored. And in fact. Rhodes did find a lot of fragments of precious props.

It's no wonder that no matter how powerful these magic equipment props are, as long as they don't reach the level of artifacts, then under the bombardment of Rhodes' magic cannon, there is only one option. Unfortunately, the area where the temple is located is close to the Council of Light, so it is also the area with the most dense artillery fire when Rhodes attacked Casablanca, and it can even be said that after the double crushing of Rhodes's artillery fire and the devil's army, there is almost nothing left here, only the ruins and broken staircases that appear from time to time, showing the glory and secrets of this place.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work..............."

Rod lowered his hand, and with his movements, with Rod as the center, the summoning circle that enveloped the surrounding earth also disappeared. Originally, Rod also planned to use the soul awakening of the summoned swordsman to find the hidden soul in the Book of Life, but he didn't expect that Kalian's seal was really so powerful, and he couldn't even touch the soul signs of the Book of Life by his own induction and soul awakening, so Rod had to take this manual way and slowly search. Although he also summoned his holy sword card spirit and released it to search for it, it seemed that nothing had come of it......... It seems that this is quite a difficult thing to do.

"How's it going over there? Xiaoice? ”

"I'm sorry, big brother, I don't have any clues here........."

In the face of Rod's inquiry, Bing Xue Er was also embarrassed, although Xue Xue Er had already used her spatial search ability to search all the large ruins in front of her just now, but she still did not find anything similar to the Book of Life. This really made Rod have to worry. If you really don't find it, it's a big deal to spend a little more time, but if it's taken away by the devil or really knocked out by the artillery fire of his own magic guide fleet, as Rhodes thought, then it's a big trouble......... However, it shouldn't be so unlucky. Kalian had sworn to herself, even if she aimed the muzzle of the magic cannon at the Book of Life, it would be impossible for her to lose half a hair.

So...............

"Ah, the head of the regiment, come and see,. Anne had discovered something very strange. ”

Just as Rod was thinking, suddenly Annie's voice came from the side. interrupted Rod's thoughts, and heard Anne speak. Rod's spirits also lifted suddenly, and then he hurriedly raised his head and looked in the direction of Anne. I saw that Anne was standing on a pile of ruins in the distance at this moment, waving to herself very excitedly. Seeing Annie's movements, Rhodes also immediately strode in the direction of Annie.

After coming to Anne's side, Rhodes soon saw what Anne called the "strange thing", which was a statue. Judging by its appearance, it should have been buried in the mud, but now it was dug up by Anne. In terms of appearance, the statue should be two meters high, while underneath it there is a pedestal about three meters high. It was supposed to be erected on the ground, perhaps because it was bombarded by Rod's magic cannon, and at this moment the statue fell headfirst to the ground, buried deep in the mud and the fragments of the ruins, if Anne hadn't cleaned it up, I'm afraid Rhodes wouldn't have noticed that such a statue still existed.

"That's interesting."

Seeing the "intact" statue in front of him, Rod couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. This is indeed very strange. You must know that under the bombardment of his magic cannon, the entire Casablanca was flattened. But while the statue in front of him could tell from the broken pillars and the remains of the walls that it had been treated when it fell, Rhodes was surprised that the statue was still intact. On the white stone body that had been wiped clean by Anne. Rhodes couldn't find even the slightest trace of damage. From this point of view, it is abnormal enough.

Thinking of this, Rodton also became interested in this statue. He gestured for Anne to step away, and Rhodes held out. Soon, accompanied by his movements. I saw a faint soul light emanating from Rod's right hand. Immediately afterwards, I saw Rhodes stretch out his hand out of thin air, make a virtual grip on the statue in front of him, and then pull it up.

"Boom!!"

With Rod's movements, he saw that the white stone sculpture that had fallen in the mud suddenly took the initiative to erect itself. And the dirt and debris that originally covered his body were immediately blown away by Rod's soul power, and in just a moment's time, the stone statue that was originally covered in mud finally showed its true form at this moment.

"It's ..............."

And seeing this statue, Rod couldn't help but be stunned. The statue was facing away from him, so Rhodes didn't know what was strange about the statue. But when he erected the statue and turned to the front, he found that the statue could be said to be very strange.

It depicts a beautiful-looking woman, who is now looking up at the sky, clasping her hands in front of her chest, and making a pious gesture. If that's all there is to it, then there is nothing wrong with it, but strangely enough, the woman herself.

The female faces on this stone sculpture are delicate and beautiful, and there is nothing ugly about them. But here's the problem -- if there is more than one face, then it looks weird.

That's right, the woman on the stone sculpture that appeared in front of Rhodes at this moment had a total of three faces. The first one was naturally on her face, and she opened her eyes and looked up at the sky with a certain radiance of exploration and longing, as if she was seeking some kind of refuge and blessing. The second face is on the chest, but unlike the first, this one has its eyes closed and looks like it is praying, whispering something and lowering its head, while the third face is located in the center of the lower abdomen below. This face was different from the other two, she stared at her with an involuntarily fearful expression, as if she had seen an enemy who did not have enough hatred to kill her father. Not only that, but this woman's body is also very strange, above the lower abdomen, the same as a normal person, there is no difference. But there were no human legs underneath her body, but rather the lower half of her body was more like a burning fire, like a rippling current, like a raging hurricane and a crumbling earth -- in short, not like a human being.

"What is this?"

Seeing this statue, Rod was also dumbfounded. He carefully recalled the scene when he led the Starlight Guild into Casablanca, but at that time Rhodes did not have a deep memory of this temple, but he was sure that he had not seen this thing at that time. Otherwise, don't say anything else, just this wonderful appearance. Rod thinks he will never forget.

"Whoa, Captain. What the hell is this? Don't show it to Christie, I'm afraid she'll not be able to sleep at night. ”

At this time, the people who were originally searching around were also attracted by this strange statue and surrounded them. Seeing the strange statue in front of her, Little Bubblegum pursed her lips and then spoke. But needless to say, this thing has been watching for a long time, and it really makes people feel a little weird.

"What the hell is this? How do I feel like she's so familiar that I just can't remember it? ”

"This is a girl of light."

And after asking this question about the bubble that is entrenched in everyone's minds. A soft voice rang out, answering their questions. Then I saw my sister walk out from the side with a smile, she came to the side of the stone statue, looked at it carefully, and then nodded.

"That's right, this is the statue of the Lady of Light, the master of the light elemental realm. I think you've heard rumors about the Girl of Light in the game, brother. ”

"This ......... I've heard of it. ”

Hearing his sister's inquiry, Rod thought for a moment, and then gave an answer. The Lady of Light is the ruler of the Light Elemental Plane. She is rumored to be kind, but she has never shown mercy to evil. She spends her days gazing at the creatures that shine in the light, silently praying for their protection, and at the same time mercilessly striking at the enemies who invade the realm of light---think of this. Rod involuntarily raised his head again and glanced at the statue in front of him, didn't these three faces show the rumors of the Girl of Light?

"Ah............h I remember!! ”

At this time, the little bubblegum also slapped his head suddenly. Then he shouted.

"When I became a saint of light, I think I did encounter such a thing!"

Such a thing -- okay. Let's hope that the Lady of Light has a large number of them, and they don't care about this little guy in general.

"You're also the ruler of the light element. Didn't you see her when you were in the trial? ”

Seeing the expression of the little bubble gum, the canary next to him couldn't help but ask curiously. During the trials of awakening the supreme authority of their respective realms, players will meet with the lords of their respective realms and complete the challenges and tasks they give them to obtain supreme privileges. And since Little Bubblegum is the Holy Maiden of Light, she must have completed this transfer ceremony, so there is no reason why she has not seen the Goddess of Light. In the face of the canary's inquiry, Little Bubblegum lowered her head in embarrassment, and then stretched out her hand and scratched her head.

"Oops......... The eyes of the people in the Light Elemental Realm hurt, and at that time I was only thinking about completing the task, and I didn't pay that much attention. And this guy has three faces that are ugly enough, and I don't plan to look at her more, so I didn't think about it for a while............"

Well, I hope that the goddess of light has a lot of them, and really don't come to her trouble.

"I guess that's what we're looking for."

Rhodes also understands the powerful energy contained inside this statue at this moment, which is definitely not comparable to ordinary power, even if the Book of Life is not in it, then I am afraid there will be something good in it. After all, being able to withstand the bombardment of his magic cannon and the devil without the slightest damage is a miracle in itself. But here's the problem......... How do I open this thing?

"Need me to blow it up?"

At this time, Labis, who had been silent next to her, spoke cautiously, not knowing if it was Rod's delusion, he always felt that Labis was a little eager to try at the moment. Speaking of which, since she did that vote in the Night City, Labis seems to be particularly interested in blowing up something...............

"The statue itself has merged with the Light Elemental Realm, and ordinary methods can't blow it up."

But soon, the younger sister shook her head and dismissed Labis's suggestion.

"Unless you use the Plane Space Bomb that you used before, brother, but I don't think you want to use that, brother."

"Of course."

If he used that thing on his own territory, then Rhodes would really be miserable. But Labis was a little disappointed when she heard this--I hope she wasn't disappointed that she couldn't use the Plane Destruction Bomb.

"But......... Don't we have a way to open it? ”

Speaking of this, Rhodes was depressed, just now he had tried to use his soul power to touch the other party, trying to find the secret of opening this statue like he had done in Irene before. But what made Rhodes depressed was that although his soul power could enter the statue without hindrance, it was completely like an endless ocean, with no end at all. Rhodes searched for a long time, but he didn't find anything strange and switched. It seems that he has no way to count on this thing.

"It's not completely impossible."

But, unexpectedly, the younger sister shook her head, and then she looked at the girl next to her.

"Lillian, it's time for you to play, it's your responsibility as a dragon of light." (To be continued......)
