"After countless years, I thought you and I would never cross paths again. The majestic and cold voice of the Holy Lord continued to come out.

The old king stood in the light like the little sister of the Holy Lord, and said calmly: "You have your goal, I have my mission, I have come here this time to see you, and on the other hand, I will take back my own name. ”

The Holy King was silent for a moment: "What do you want to do?"

"I want to be able to see that bright star in the world again. ”

"Even if it will cause the destruction of the world?"

"Yes. The old king replied coldly.

The Holy King slowly stood up from his throne, his silver-white armor perfectly attached to her body, bringing out her perfect goddess-like figure to the fullest.

The hard boots made a crisp sound against the marble floor, and the Holy Lord walked to a distance of about a meter from the old king and stopped.

You can see that the Holy Lord is a head taller than the old king.

Compared to the Holy Lord, the old king is like a young girl who has not yet begun to develop.

"What if I refuse?" replied the Holy King coldly.

The old king replied as usual: "Then I will turn around and leave directly." ”

"It's not like you. The Holy King immediately commented.

The old king said in a casual tone: "You have been living in the future, you have been out of the world for too long, and the current human race is not the same as before. ”

"Yes, weaker and more fragile than before. "The Holy King's Icy Mending Knife.

"But there are more possibilities and more futures. The old king looked up and retorted in a tough tone.

The Holy Lord looked up at the roof, which was not an ordinary roof, but an incomparably bright starry sky.

"I've looked up to it for countless years, but I still haven't found a way to continue. ”

The old king followed and looked up: "I found it." ”

"Sug Sototh?"

"Yes. ”

"He can't, I've seen him destroy 4.6 million times. There was no fluctuation in the Holy Lord's tone.

The Old King slowly removed the pitch-black mask from his face, and met him with a pair of turquoise eyes that were almost identical to those of the Holy Lord.

"What the stars present is not accurate. When you think you see the future, the future has changed. ”

"So I sat here for countless years, not interfering with the workings of the world, hoping to fulfill the most accurate prophecy. The old king then took off his mask, revealing a beautiful and mature face that was six points similar to the old king's face.

The two of them look like sisters, or like mother and daughter, or some other relationship that people can't understand.

The old king shook his head: "You have dragged the level of human beings, only human beings themselves can control the fate of human beings, you and I are just remnants of the past, there is no need to continue to interfere." ”

The Holy Lord's turquoise eyes shone with a blinding golden light, and he said in a loud voice, "I must interfere, this is my obligation, and it is also the goal of my existence. ”

Such a god is not a god. ”

"So I'm a demigod, not a god. ”

............

Suddenly, the two fell into silence and were speechless for a long time.

I don't know how long it has been, but the old king spoke up: "I know myself, so I know I can't convince you." Since you think this is the way to salvation, just carry out your own will. Now, give me my name back. ”

"You hated the name once, so keep it with me. The Lord did not answer directly.

The old king said calmly: "I was not the same as I am now. Although I have been on that decaying throne for countless years, I have experienced the changes of the world, witnessed some people and things I have never seen before, and witnessed possibilities that I never believed in. ”

It was this hesitation and doubt that made you lose your only chance to become a god and lose your place in that era. "The Holy Lord seems to know the old king very well.

For the first time, other expressions appeared on the old king's face, which seemed to be reminiscence, and it also seemed to be rejoicing.

"Maybe I saw through the nature of the gods and that's why I gave it up. Man is human after all, and if he evolves blindly, he may become what we once hated after becoming a god. ”

The Holy Lord fell into deep thought thoughtfully.

The old king continued: "Walking here from the palace, I have witnessed many interesting things. Perhaps it is these seemingly contradictory and filthy things that have allowed us to continue to this day. ”

"I can't accept that view. ”

"Of course, because you're a demigod, not a human. ”

After a pause, the old king suddenly asked a question.

"Do you know what's after today?"

The Holy Lord was stunned for a moment, and shook his head suddenly.

"After today, tomorrow is tomorrow. "The old king said a very boring nonsense.

But it was this nonsense that made the Holy Lord fall into deep contemplation.

Because in the world of the gods, there is only the concept of time, there is no such thing as today and tomorrow.

The old king turned around and walked to the edge of the room, and looked through the window at Shiryl, who was pushing a stroller: "A tomorrow full of unknowns, this desire and yearning for the unknown, has achieved countless possibilities for human beings. This is also the reason why many gods are hungry for children. ”

"It's not that they want their own children, they just want to be human again. ”

Hearing this, the Holy Lord immediately interrupted, "This is nothing more than your one-sided analysis. ”

The old king smiled: "Don't be in a hurry to deny. ”

The Holy Lord seemed to think of something, and fell silent again.

"Alright, now you can give me my name back. The old king said.

The Holy Lord came back to his senses and took a step forward, his plump body almost clinging to the old king's body.

She lowered her head and whispered a few words in the old king's ear.

Subsequently, the old king seemed to have received an answer from the teacher, and the suddenly enlightened student, his eyes flashed with an indescribable wonderful light, and the corners of his mouth curled up and said, "I see." ”

So saying, the old king turned and left.

Seeing the old king leave, the Holy Lord frowned slightly, and after a second of silence, he asked aloud, "What are your plans next?"

"The promised things must be done well, since I promised the little girl, I naturally have to go two more times. The old king said and pushed the door open.

"The power of stigmata is not critical, you should do something important. "The Holy Lord gave his own advice.

The old king tilted his head slightly, put on his blindfold again, and said calmly: "I said that when you see the future, the future has changed. ”

"You also believe in the existence of the Heart of the World?" asked the Holy Lord.

"He was there. ”

"But in the 3,460 billion times I see a future in which He does not exist. ”

The old king said casually: "It means that you haven't seen enough." ”

With that, he closed the door and left.

The old king is gone, and the Lord puts on his mask again and sits back on his throne.

She still looked up at the starry sky and said to herself, "Standing at the top of the edge of this world, you still can't see everything in the world?"

..................

In the snowy wasteland of the North Wind Continent, a strange-looking carriage is moving rapidly under the pull of a large dog.

Suddenly, with a strange black light, ten armored Troubled Hunters appeared around the carriage.

These Scourge Hunters are the lowest Scourge Hunters, not even the Four-Eyed Hunters.

They rushed to the carriage like cannon fodder, and when they were about to get closer, they suddenly fell to the ground, completely dead.

"It's the first wave, it's annoying. Giroud, who was in the car, said with an irritated expression.

Today was the third day they had left the Storm Emperor, and with Erhan's powerful mobility, they had already arrived on the northwest side of the entire North Wind Continent, the coldest place in the world.

The temperature here has reached a terrifying minus seventy degrees.

In the course of three days, the carriage was attacked seven times by the Troubled Hunters, all of whom were the lowest-level miscellaneous soldiers.

The purpose was obvious, to constantly interfere with Suge's will.

Su Ge, who was reading a book, put down his right hand and said casually: "Stay focused, don't let these little things affect your concentration." ”

Giroud was immediately instructed and immediately calmed down and studied his own surgery.

"Teacher, what kind of existence is the stigma?" asked Lynn, who was studying the sealing technique, as he put down the book at this time.

Suge closed the book and asked, "Do you think you're ready?"

The five of them pricked up their ears at the same time, took a deep breath, and said very seriously: "It's done!"

Su Ge didn't refuse, and said directly: "Stigmata is a kind of rune sublimation. As we all know, today's runes are divided into basic Keynesian runes and advanced Caldine runes. The Keynesian runes symbolize all the basic elements of this world, such as iron, silver, water, fire, brimstone, and more. The Karding runes represent the composition of this world, including the sky, the earth, the mountains, the sea, the lakes, the rivers, and so on. ”

The five of them nodded earnestly, they had already learned all of this.

"And stigmata, this is a sublimation of the Kardin rune. It went from the kind of rune that embodied the world to a sign and method of linking the roots. ”

"Signs and methods of linking the roots......" The five people heard this and fell into deep thought.

"Stigmata is a kind of contract. And the object of your contract is not human, but some kind of origin of this world. Suge continued.

When the students heard this, Lincoln asked curiously, "Teacher, what are the stigmata now?"

For ordinary mystery students, stigmata is an incomparably powerful and mysterious existence, and while their hearts are extremely yearning, they want to peek at its true face.

Su Ge is no longer the mysterious little white before, and calmly explained: "There are six kinds of stigmata that have been handed down from ancient times to the present. ”

They are:

The stigmata of the sky held by the Church of the Holy Blood.

Heal the Earth Stigmata held by the Church.

The Stigmata of Thunder held by the Nighthawk Church.

The Sun Stigmata held by the Church of the Radiant.

The astral stigmata held by the Institute of the Extreme Universe.

Finally, there is the stigmata of the moon, whose whereabouts are still unknown.

Hall sighed: "Stigmata, I don't know which sage invented such a powerful existence, this ability is comparable to that of a god. ”

Su Ge still replied directly: "The stigma has been passed down since ancient times, and if anyone invented it, it should be regarded as the invention of the ancient six kings." ”

Hearing this, the five students were stunned and shocked.

Suge explains: "According to ancient texts, stigmata was originally called the King's Seal, which was the symbol of the ancient six kings themselves, similar to the current national flag. It carries a glimmer of the power of the Six Kings, the warriors of the protectors themselves. ”

"After the end of the Ancient Dynasty, this imprint of power was preserved in a special way, and then gradually discovered in the mysterious development, forming the current stigmata system. ”

The students muttered in shock, "I didn't expect that the stigma was actually related to the Ancient Six Kings. ”

"In addition to the traditional six stigmata, there are two lesser-known stigmata. ”

"They are the special stigmata of the Elven Order: the stigmata of the lake. and the special stigmata held by the Wolfblood Legion: the Stigmata of the Covenant. ”

"Teacher, does every stigmata have very powerful abilities?" Giroud asked excitedly, widening his eyes.

Suge nodded and said, "Each stigmata has special abilities. Of course, only if you are chosen by the stigmata and make a promise under the stigma that you will never break. ”

Speaking of which, Suge recalled the suffering and pain he had done to obtain the Stigma of the Lake.

It hurt at the time, and tears flowed out.

"Teacher, if stigmata is a source force, then what will happen if the stigma is taken back?" asked Lynn, who was the most curious.

Suge replied calmly: "Not dead, but will fall into a special state, a hazy state that cannot be explained." ”

"Stigmata is a part of the world, and if the world doesn't feel happy one day, maybe it's going to be taken back. The innocent Sally said with a grin.

"Sally, we're serious about it, don't jump to something unrelated. Serious Lincoln said seriously.

Sally stuck out her tongue and looked down to take notes.

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention.

After Sally finished speaking, Su Ge was stunned, he seemed to have caught some important care in this sentence, but he felt that he didn't know what to do.

"What is the reason?" Suge didn't think it was a delusion.

Su Ge, who was holding the Soul Grail, had a premonition in his soul that had reached a terrifying level.

"Wait! The Heart of the World is broken and requires a lot of components to assemble. The Seven Holy Grails are an important part of it. And the Holy Grail represents the seven origins of the world. Stigmata represent other origins. Could it be that if you want to reach the perfect world heart, you still need to recover all the power of stigma?"

In contemplation, a sudden sudden braking came ahead.

Suge looked up and saw through the glass a group of heavily dressed men with an evening bell logo tattooed on their chests standing in front of the carriage.

And Erha rushed out directly at this time, rubbing against someone on the other side.

Su Ge smiled and said, "Let's all get off, our people are here." ”

The eyes of the five students gradually lit up when they saw the neatly dressed people outside with neat and solemn expressions.

"Is this the Evening Bell Church? The overall feeling is really different from other churches. ”

Five students thought at the same time. 8)
