It was a bright and clear beam of light, falling from the sky, although dazzling, but not dazzling, very soft, with a hint of holiness, gratuitously giving people a sense of ritual.

Almost as soon as he caught a glimpse of the light out of the corner of his eye, Talos couldn't help but recall the scene when the God of Order and Knight descended on Armand with his will in the treasure space of Black Dragon Island.

As soon as this thought crossed Talos's mind, he immediately secretly said no, always feeling that something was happening that was beyond his imagination and planning.

Talos's hunch had always been very accurate, and this time was no exception, and in the next instant, everything in the entire ice and snow half-plane was suspended.

Snowflakes swept up by the cold wind, white torrents roaring down from mountain tops, hunters running desperately across the land, gargoyles wreaking havoc by chained lightning, and magic flying carpets imprisoned in the air.

It's hard for Talos to say whether it's a freeze in space or a pause in time, but in short, now it seems that everything has stopped, but fortunately his body can still move.

He cautiously turned his head—the reason why he didn't immediately enter the world was because of the attack that had not arrived for a long time, and if the other party's purpose was to attack him, he would have acted long ago—and saw an illusory figure.

It was a middle-aged man, with a thin face, a sallow face, and a little vicissitudes, but a few strands of black hair hanging down on his forehead inadvertently brought out a bit of unruliness.

It can be seen that this man was once very handsome and had a past full of stories.

Most importantly, Talos is no stranger to him, as it was only a few months ago that the four-armed Naga witnessed him being destroyed by the will incarnation of Order and Knight's Body in the Treasure Space.

The man in front of him looks exactly like the soul that floated out of Jacob's body in the first place!

Talos subconsciously widened his eyes and looked at the other party carefully, and the other party was also looking at Talos and Bruce.

Yes, Bruce, the second person in the Ice Half-Plane to still move freely.

"I'm very conflicted right now. ”

After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man was the first to speak, his gaze swept over Talos and Bruce, not condescendingly, but instead giving Talos the feeling of the family elder when he met him, with pride and a little expectation.

"I didn't expect to meet one of the Chosen One before it completely dissipated, but fate not only met me, but also both. ”

The Chosen One, Talos felt a little familiar with the word, as if he had seen it somewhere, and his excellent memory skills quickly allowed him to find the source, the diary left behind by Urban I.

According to the diary, Jane, the queen of the ancient Sadinian dynasty, was a Chosen One, who died of strange starvation because she could not escape the curse brought by her identity as the Chosen One.

Combined with the content and context of the middle-aged man's words just now, the two chosen ones clearly refer to Talos and Bruce.

So far, as far as Talos knows, there is only one thing he and Bruce have in common, Soul Fire.

An astonishing fact lies in front of Talos: the Soul Fire Bearer is the Chosen One, and the Chosen One is the Soul Fire Bearer!

Talos is, Bruce is, and so is Queen Jane.

In this way, the doubts in the diary about the cause of Queen Jane's death were solved, and Talos had not guessed wrong, Queen Jane had died from the counterattack of one of the seven primordial desires [gluttony]!

"Judging by the expressions, you should know something, including my identity. The middle-aged man smiled and said in an approving tone.

Talos wanted to confirm his guess, but in the end he only nodded slightly, but Bruce shouted out the true identity of the middle-aged man: "Urban I?"

"It's me, it's not me. Urban I pointed to himself and explained nonchalantly, "This is just a fragment of my soul with some of my key memories, and my body and soul have long since been annihilated. ”

Talos nodded, Urban I died in the battle with Albert I, the founder of the Golden Empire, and as for the soul, given what he had seen that day, he guessed that it had fallen at the hands of the gods of order and knights.

"If you may, would you tell me where this is and why we're here?" asked Bruce politely.

"Of course, this is the reason for my existence, this is the inside of the Frost Crown. ”

What the?

Talos was stunned, Bruce was not much better, such a small piece of ice and snow was actually located inside the Frost Holy Crown, they had always thought that it was an ice and snow half-plane, or even an independent material plane.

If memory serves, the Frost Crown is made up of three parts, and for the first time Talos wondered the scope of the treasure.

Urban I ignored the shock on the faces of the two and continued: "As for the reason, in fact, I have already mentioned just now, you are the Chosen One. ”

Talos did not speak, nor did Bruce, waiting for further explanations from Urban I.

"Soul fire!" Urban I pointed to the two of them, "the most fundamental sign of the Chosen One is in you. ”

This is the first time that the biggest secret has been pointed out since Talos ignited the soul fire, even Pope Helgar II of the Sea Temple and Pope Warren Buffett III of the Church of Fortune have not been able to discover it before, and there is every reason to believe that Bruce is too.

"The Chosen One needs faith to grow smoothly, and along the way comes with seven terrible curses from primordial desires—"

At this, Urban I paused, a look of nostalgia in his eyes, and Talos knew that he was missing Queen Jane, the other Chosen One.

"Therefore, do not let any of the clergy find out that you are secretly collecting faith, or what awaits you will be a terrible nightmare, which I assure you is far beyond your imagination, and beyond my imagination. ”

"Why do you know so much?" asked Bruce, confused.

In order to protect the secrets of the soul fire, he will not hesitate to kill anyone who knows about the soul fire, so Bruce is very curious about which idiot would share the secret of the soul fire with others.

"Of course I know that my wife, Jane, is the Chosen One, and not only that, but I also know that the two Chosen will sense each other and are destined to fight each other until one of them dies. A mixture of numbness and indifference appeared on Urban I's face, "This is your fate. ”

"I understand. Talos looked at Urban I, "I thought you were going to tell you something we hadn't been exposed to for a while. ”

Bruce raised an eyebrow and didn't speak.

"Of course, believe me, there is no one in the whole world who knows soul fire better than me. "The question is, are you really willing to bear the responsibilities and pressures of the Chosen One?" it is a path of thorns, poisonous insects, and beasts that no one has ever traveled, and my wife and beloved, Jane, have died of the gluttonous curse. ”

The gluttonous dies of starvation, the jealous is unrecognizable, and Talos recalls his strange encounter.

The middle-aged man stretched out his hand to stop the two who wanted to speak: "Moreover, once the identity of the Chosen One is revealed, you will need to face not only the Church of Gods on the main physical plane, but the gods of order and knights, agriculture and harvest, love, moon, night, warlord, death and other gods who live in the outer plane, as well as the new gods on the Black Star, that is, the evil gods behind the Illuminati!"

"Even so, are you willing to continue on the path of the Chosen One?"

"Oh my God—"

Considering the various characteristics of soul fire, such as refining souls and absorbing beliefs, Talos has long been prepared to stand on the opposite side of the gods, so the series of powerful divine power lists in Urban's mouth did not blow too many waves in his heart, and the real surprise came from the second half of the sentence, it turned out that the soul fire holder was still the enemy of the Illuminati and the evil gods!

To be honest, Talos was shocked by the desperate situation described by Urban I himself - he hadn't envisioned the worst before, and he could be an unreliable ally with the Illuminati or the Spider Cult against the gods - but now it seemed that once it was exposed, he couldn't even find a second suitable adjective other than the enemy of the world.

But what else could Talos do, and at this point, could he still count on the forgiveness of the gods?

So, Talos nodded his head hard, and so did Bruce.

Urban I was not too surprised by the decision of the two, but he just threw out a question again with a serious expression: "What if I had a way to strip the soul fire without harming your life and make you ordinary people?"

"What?" exclaimed Bruce this time.

"Put away your skeptical looks, boy, I spent quite a long time stripping Jane of the soul fire in order to help Jane get rid of the curse from her primordial desires, and in the end, I succeeded. ”

"But the Queen—"

Urban I interrupted Talos's confusion with a wave of his hand: "That's another matter. Now, tell me your answers. ”

"You don't have to bear the responsibility of being the Chosen One, you don't have to face the curse from the primordial desires, you don't have to worry about secretly collecting faith, you don't have to fight other people because of some ridiculous fate, and you don't have to worry about the gods who live high in the heavens one day, are you still willing to be a Chosen One?"

"The decision is yours. ”
