Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Curse of Life
The face on the stone wall suddenly began to tremble, and then a long neck stretched out from the stone wall, and the dark brown stone wall's face still had a kind expression: "There is a price for wanting to gain eternal life!" ”
Shi Bi said slowly: "The cup of life can only be held by a captain with courage and wisdom, and at the same time, when the captain picks up the cup of life, he also needs to take on the lives of all the crew!" ”
"When the captain picks up the cup of life, all the crew members of the captain holding the cup of life in their hands will receive a curse, if the captain cannot lead the crew to find the eternal spring water to lift the curse within three days, then the souls of all the crew members will remain in this dimension forever, neither alive nor dead, but between life and death! Fall into the pain of the cycle of life! ”
The face of the stone statue sticking its head out of the stone wall looked at Captain Jackson in front of him: "Will you abandon your crew?" Because this curse will only work on your crew, even after three days, you can't find the Fountain of Eternal Life, you can leave this dimension, but your crew will be left behind forever! ”
The face of the stone statue seems to be very allegorical, looking like Jackson!
Jackson didn't answer, he stood there and hesitated, while the sailors behind him began to discuss, after all, this curse was aimed at himself, and there was no restraint on the captain, even if he was abandoned by Captain Jackson, there was no way to restrain or pursue it!
Even Lilith on the side trembled slightly: "I can feel that this dimension has a huge mysterious power, if we are really cursed like this, I think we will not be able to escape from this dimension where the ancient gods of the earth once existed!" But... This is my first internship assignment and I'm not going to run away! ”
Wang Fang looked at Chen Hao and Moge: "What about you?" Are you two scared? ”
"I've experienced something more dangerous!" Chen Hao, a special soldier with ten years of experience, showed a tough face, and seemed to be calm about such a threat!
"I never flinch in the face of danger!" Mogg also said on the side!
"A-Class Agent Jackson!" Wang Fang walked to Jackson's side, and at this time Jackson had his back to the sailors!
"We are agents of the seventh sub-bureau of the ninth bureau, we will never leave anyone behind, now it's up to you to decide!" Wang Fang said firmly!
Although Jackson was a little hesitant at this time, but after many years of sailing, Jackson turned around and said to the navigators in front of him: "Those navigators who have followed me for a year or two or my new recruits, now I give you a chance to choose, if you are afraid of being cursed, you can quit the Jack Pirate Ship now, so that you are not my crew, and you will not be cursed either!" ”
When Jackson said this, everyone in front of him was stunned, on the one hand, Jackson had made up his mind to pick up the cup of life, and on the other hand, if all the navigators left, there were only a few people left, and the chances of successfully finding the Immortal Fountain would be even lower!
When Jackson said this, some of the sailors began to whisper, but this was exactly what Jackson wanted, to give these voyagers the right to choose, to follow the captain on the adventure, or to choose their own life or death!
After thinking for a long time, some of the sailors and navigators turned their backs, which meant that they had chosen to quit the sailing ship, and those who quit would return to the sailing ship to wait, not to participate in any adventures, and not to receive any treasure or money!
"Why do you say such a thing? Wouldn't it be better to let these people help us? Nord walked up and asked!
"We should give them a choice, shouldn't we?" Jackson smiled slightly, and then jumped into the crack, leaving only Nord in surprise and sigh on the spot!
"What a bold and unguessable man!" The witch Blair looked at all this in front of her: "But that's what makes it look so attractive!" ”
Jackson looked at the Holy Grail of Life in front of him, and on a single table in front of him were two old cups, and there were two patterns on the two cups, one of which was carved with a man holding a sword, and the other was carved with a woman with her neck outstretched!
"After all these years, there are still humans here?" Suddenly, in the darkness underground, a voice sounded!
Jackson looked around and asked, "Howareyou?" )”
"Me!" The dark voice in the crack in the ground seemed to be a sneering woman: "You can call me the Lord God, I am Venado, the God of Life, one of the 12 Lord Gods!" This was once the dimension where the Old Gods lived, but now the Old Gods have long since left Earth! ”
"What's going on here?" Jackson asked!
At this time, in the darkness, exuding the smell of decay, a woman covered in dirt and wrapped in vines walked out: "Do you want to know our story? ”
"Who the hell are you?" Jackson asked again!
"At the beginning of the birth of the universe, the earth was formed, and a number of different earth dimensions appeared, and after continuous fusion and formation, the three major life dimensions of the earth as you know it, the magic dimension, the human dimension and the old god dimension appeared!"
"I come from the most powerful dimension of the old gods, where powerful gods were formed at the beginning of the earth's birth, and they lived in this dimension, and occasionally traveled to other dimensions, leaving footprints and myths!"
"The ancient gods of the earth created 12 main gods, as well as countless rulers, and the ancient gods ruled the entire earth and protected the entire earth!"
"But one day a more powerful god from the universe came to the earth, they visited the ancient gods of the old god dimension, the cosmic god is obviously more powerful and knows more, they have been talking with the ancient gods of the earth for three centuries, for some reason, the ancient gods of the earth seem to be convinced, just after the cosmic god left, the ancient gods of the earth also left the earth!"
"Without the source of power of the ancient gods of the earth, the power of the 12 main gods has also been greatly weakened, and it is even difficult to control the rulers, the power from the gods of the earth has begun to weaken, we are looking forward to the return of the ancient gods, however, during this period, the development of human beings has surpassed the imagination of the gods, and the technology created is enough to resist the threat of the outside world!"
"By the way, you want this, don't you?" Venus, the god of life, walked to the cup of life: "As gods, we give human beings a test, and only human beings who pass the test are enough to obtain the power of the gods, so do you dare to accept this curse and glory?" ”
Venus picked up the two cups and handed them to Jackson!
