367 Burn, mother-in-law's soul
The Storm Islands were originally distorted by magical powers, and the Underworld, Shadow City, and Silver City were all put together. But with a huge force descending from outside the canopy, the anomaly didn't last long before disappearing.
The canopy didn't return to normal with the space, like a neon sign that had broken pixels. Some areas still maintain the scene of blue sky and white clouds, while others are purple and black deep sky. It seems to be spliced together by regular hexagonal plates, which looks extremely fragmented and broken.
The gray-black pillar of smoke rose from the Silver City, directly into the sky, and it seemed that this was the source of the strange scene, which was impregnating the blue sky and white clouds on the canopy one by one.
Tracing down from the pillar of smoke, there was a huge gap that almost tore the Silver City in half. It's not a direct opening in Silver City, it's more like breaking open the entire Storm Islands, and pulling out such a gap.
There are also two layers under the gap, the first layer is the bottom of the Silver City, looking at the dozens of meters of rock layers exposed by the crack, there is a grid woven by magic metal, and the magic power is still swimming on the grid like a blue arc, which is obviously the barrier that separates the Shadow City and the Silver City.
Below this level, there is a deep abyss, and the smoke is spewing out from under the abyss, although it is gradually fading, but there is still no bottom in sight.
The Undercity had become a dark place, and Richie was relieved to find Tina in the uneven plaza and confirm that she had only passed out.
"Yellow River, Yellow River, what's the situation?"
"The Yangtze River, the Yangtze River, is about to dive deeply, and it needs to temporarily interrupt the communication ...... I'm tired of my mother, I'm running away! I don't have the strength to nag you, I'll talk when we've all wiped our butts, OVER!"
After confirming that Little Red Riding Hood had returned home safely, Li Qi's hanging heart was completely let go, and his limbs collapsed on the ground.
I don't know how high the zenith is, a ray of light casts, it should be the real ground.
"This is really a stabbing sky, of course it's just the ...... of the Storm Isles"
Richie sighed tiredly, he no longer had the strength to cheer for victory.
At this moment, he and Tina are in the eye of the hurricane, and all kinds of dirt, sewage, rubble, building debris, and human bodies like bark people are constantly being swept into the hurricane and rising into the sky.
The black gas comes from these substances, which turn into clumps of ink in the hurricane, peeling off bits of white brilliance and drawing them into silver threads. Some of the silver threads dissipated instantly, while others lingered in the wind, and the ink stains faded as a result.
In a trance, Li Qi heard countless voices, there were painful howls, but also joyful cheers, not with his ears, but with the feelings of his heart.
He suddenly thought of something, got up and searched around, and soon found the thing.
Gwen Torin's Sculpture ......
The sculpture still hasn't changed, I don't know what material it is, and Li Qi is not so curious that he has to poke it out. He just felt that some of the silver threads lingering in the hurricane seemed to be nostalgic for something, or waiting for something.
As he thought so, ripples rippled in the air, and a warm body pounced on his back, followed by a stream of hot liquid pouring down his neck.
Although the contact with this body had never been so close, he subconsciously knew who it was. The size and model of the same model have been very familiar before, and they are still not clothed.
As for this liquid, it's clearly blood!
Li Qi turned around to support the visitor, and the tragic situation of the other party made him take a deep breath.
The original luxurious purple robe was shattered, revealing large areas of skin. The white jade-like skin was covered with hideous wounds, and the flesh rolled up, as if it had been clawed by a beast's claws. The cheeks, which were originally full of mysterious beauty, also had a few more scars that slanted down, and one eye was almost blind.
Looking at the wound on her chest, it didn't look like it was scratched by an external force, but more like it exploded from the inside out.
If it's a little worse, I'm afraid it's already a pile of minced meat.
It's Hathaway, the brunette Hathaway Ted.
Li Qi was stunned and said, "Hathaway, what are you?"
Suddenly woke up again, and said in shock: "This place is still full of corrupt gas, and you actually teleported over directly!?"
Hathaway saw his own appearance in his eyes, and exclaimed, "Turn away and don't look at me!"
He obediently complied, and Hathaway's tone softened a little: "I'm a legend, and the communication ring I gave you to help locate it, it's a bit dangerous, it's not to the point of exploding into minced meat, okay......"
This is Hathaway's second Messenger Ring for Rich, having been damaged during the fight with Perro. Originally, it was useless, but I didn't expect it to become Hathaway's teleportation anchor.
Turning around again, the tattered robe did not change, the injury was reduced a lot, and the severely disfigured wound on the face only had faint traces.
"Let's do it first, you're no one else, I'm not afraid of your jokes", Hathaway said casually, pushed him away, staggered to Gwentorin's statue, caressed the statue, tears dripping: "Mother......"
"Your mother may still be ......"
As Li Qi spoke, the silver lines broke free from the hurricane, turned into a little glow, and slowly floated down onto the statue.
After a while, the statue regained its color and became a living person.
"Mother...... Mother ——!"
Hathaway put her arms around Gwentoline and cried with joy.
Litchie was about to back away, but Gwentoline was calling him.
The voice was strange, and although it was still audible Gwen Tolin, it became a childish girlish voice.
When he got closer, Li Qi's heart jumped a big way.
The purple-haired and delicate girl, completely indistinguishable from Hathaway Misley, is lying in Hathaway Ted's arms.
The mother and daughter got together and discovered the subtle differences in addition to their hair color.
In contrast, her mother, Gwen Torin, is more beautiful, so beautiful that there is hardly a trace of fireworks in the world, which also makes her even more mysterious. The silver pupils are dazzling, like a goddess. If Li Qi's soul is not connected with Little Red Riding Hood and has a permanent psychic buff, I am afraid that he will already kneel and worship.
"Duke...... No, Richie, thank you for keeping me awake in the throne at a critical moment, so that an unimaginable tragedy could be averted," Gwentoline, who had been called "Old Woman" by the citizens of Shadow City, said in a sweet voice. Compared to Hathaway, she is more like a sister than a mother.
"This is both the purpose of my visit to the Storm Islands and the ...... since I was a child My lord's will", Li Qi looked at Hathaway, who was misty in teary eyes, and said with a slight smile, "It is also Hathaway's wish, after all, she is my ally." ”
"To each his own, this is my thanks", Gwen Toline raised his hand, a faint white light lit up in the palm of his hand, and without explaining to Richie, he slapped the white light directly into his chest.
A mixed stream of information suddenly poured into Richie's mind, like breaking up a re-tangled ball of thread, and it would take some time to sort it out.
Gwen Tolin said, "This is my throne...... That is what my mother knows in her body, although my mother has no soul, after a thousand years, she still contains a trace of wisdom, and her memory should be a precious treasure. ”
Thinking about it this way, Gwen Toline is indeed very special, born from a soulless body, which is probably the reason why she does not want Hathaway to be put on the throne.
"I gave you the same information just now, go back and read it slowly. In short, thanks to Litch and his goddess, we finally broke free from our fate and gained freedom. ”
Gwentoline lovingly said to her daughter, "Especially you, Hathaway. When you approached the throne just now, you didn't know how scared I was. Becoming a god means that your mortal heart is obliterated, and you will become a being like your grandmother, and I am the vessel that allows you to merge perfectly with your grandmother. ”
"Now, it's over, I ...... So happy. ”
"I can leave ...... without regrets"
Hathaway said in horror: "Mother, what are you talking about? Aren't you all right now?"
Gwentoline looked up and saw that the hurricane had abated a lot, and the ink had become thinner. Faintly, a huge snake body could be seen hanging from the ceiling, pulling a large mess of silk threads, which should be a web of magic circles woven by magical metal.
"My mother, Misley, left behind this body after becoming a god, and the Night Lady activated the blood of the ancient serpent, allowing the body to live forever, and also became the ...... for the Night's Watch to hatch a new saint Body. ”
"The first Night's Watch soon gave birth to a new Holy Maiden, and in order to hide her from the eyes and ears, she was raised in the City of Shadows. ”
"She led the first revolt of the people of Shadow City, but when she walked out of Shadow City and left the barrier, her soul dissipated. ”
"The Night's Watch continued to nurture the Holy Maiden, to do all kinds of tests and experiments, but they, like me, could not leave the Shadow City, because our souls were condensed by this dark net. ”
"The saints before were not fertile, and their connection with the Night Lady was weaker than mine, but they were not saints. ”
"When it was time for me to be born, because he brought the oracle of the Night Lady, your grandfather, Menesus, thought that I could hatch a true new generation of saints. He succeeded, and that's you, Hathaway. ”
"Lady Night does want to entrust the Dark Demon Web to you, but that was the old plan, and she's given up, I don't know why. Anyway, I didn't feel any more expectations from the Night Lady for the Dark Demon Network in the Divine Throne, only your grandfather, who still thinks that this mission must be accomplished. ”
"Now, I understand ......"
Gwen Tolin stroked Hathaway's cheek and said with emotion: "Lady Night, I want you to pursue freedom with the heart of a mortal and your own heart, and she will no longer arrange your fate for you." ”
Hathaway said with tears in her eyes, "My mentor and I ...... Grandpa, before the lady fell asleep, sensed that the lady no longer arranged the fate for me, nor for all mortals. I didn't expect my grandfather, but my grandfather had other ideas. ”
Gwen Toline shook his head and said, "This is exactly the freedom that magicians want, in their eyes, all mortals except magicians are stepping stones to the top of their power." ”
"There should be a better way for mortals to get along, freedom, not the barbaric wasteland of ancient times. Lady Night certainly wants you to bring freedom to mortals, a new order. ”
"I understand, Mother", Hathaway cried even louder, bits of white light rising above Gwentorin, the power of the Dark Web rapidly dissipating, and she could no longer hold her soul.
Gwen Toline turned to Richie: "Richie, you and your goddess are also on the path of seeking freedom. I want you to be not only Hathaway's staunchest ally, not just the best friend, but ...... Take good care of her. ”
"Hathaway is good at everything, but she is too arrogant, she always doesn't pay attention to the road under her feet, and she needs someone to remind her and guide her. ”
Belch...... How did you ignite the soul of your mother-in-law again!
Even with sadness, Hathaway's face was faintly flushed, and she didn't know whether it was a shy call or a shy call: "Mother......"
Li Qi said vaguely: "I will accompany her all the way, I promise, and I am very sure, as long as I am here, her mortal heart will not dissipate." ”
Hathaway glanced at him, and her words of hatred rang in her ears: "It's all this time, what kind of word games are you still playing?
Li Qi sighed secretly, wouldn't it be more reassuring for your mother to throw you down at this time?
"Then I'm relieved......"
Hathaway...... My daughter...... I'm ...... for you Pride ......"
Gwen Torin's voice faded, and white light spilled from her body and rose into the sky. Her body turned to ashes, and pieces drifted away in the wind.
Hathaway looked up in a panic, as if she still wanted to find her mother in the wind, but naturally she had no avail.
Richie pressed her shoulder, silent.
Hathaway threw herself into his arms and cried loudly.
