6. Sage Time

Zhao Luo looked at me expectantly, but I couldn't think of a way.

I said, "Since this door is sealed, maybe you don't want people to enter, please allow me to go back and bring some explosives, and with a bang, this door will definitely open." We have to believe in science, not in the way of gods. ”

Zhao Luo said: "This is the holy land of the Western Blood Clan, you can't do this, you can't destroy this place, and besides, I doubt that the bomb will be effective." ”

This oriental woman is quite humane.

I released the shadow, trying to get through the crack in the door, but a repulsive force bounced me back.

Zhao Luo was stunned and asked, "Are you the Shadow Clan of the Western Blood Clan?" ”

I made her look at my canine teeth, and she snorted and said, "It's not that I don't know how to pretend to understand, I've just heard that mortals can master this magic." However, you have reminded me that I must spy on the invisible, and perhaps there will be an answer. ”

The scar on her forehead began to expand into a full eye. And I'm numb to all the strange changes in the blood clan, even if she says she's actually a man and pulls out something, I won't be surprised.

I've always risen to the challenge.

She exclaimed, "Two more lines of text!" The curse that is exchanged for wisdom can only be lifted by wisdom. The curse that was exchanged for blood can only be lifted by blood. The people in this gate have committed sins, so they can open the gate of Sagan with the holy relics of sin and desecration. ”

A holy relic of sin and desecration? Is there such a thing in the world? If it is evil and full of sin, how can it be called a holy thing?

Zhao Luo said: "As expected, it takes two ancient artifacts to open, the first is my Wisdom Fire Sword, its owner once removed a demon's spokesperson and was contaminated with demonic blood, so it is both sacred and evil. ”

I glared at her and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

Zhao Luo frowned and said, "I was just inspired by this ciphertext and remembered the manuscripts of the past. The second artifact, feared to be nowhere to be found, was the opposite of the Sword of Wisdom, which must have been an evil thing, but tainted with holy blood. ”

I couldn't help but scratch my headβ€”a very bad habit that detracts from my invincible personaβ€”and said, "I... There could be that kind of thing. ”

Zhao Luo said: "Don't be kidding, throughout Western history, it may only be Cain's knife that killed Abel, or Longinus's gun that stabbed Jesus Christ to death...."

The spearbone spear came out of my hand, and I looked at her triumphantly and said, "This is the real Longinus gun." ”

"You are proficient in many tricks, Westerners," she said, "but I don't believe this is the legendary holy spear." ”

I said, "I'm Longinus, this is the gun I use, I don't know?" ”

She shook her head and said, "The holy spear can't be in the shape of a fish bone, my fire sword can resonate with this wall, and your..."

My spear gun started to vibrate, and she acted like she had taken a major blow, like being punched in the face by me.

I said, "Look, what am I talking about?" ”

I also said, "You Orientals, you always think that you are smart, you know everything, hum, you are really a frog at the bottom of a well, you don't know the height of the sky." I, Longinus, have lived for thousands of years, and I haven't seen any winds and waves? I'm going to show you this holy spear now, you know how long I've been waiting for this opportunity? I'm not trying to prove that I'm a little bit great or anything, I'm just trying to prove that I'm amazing. ”

I took a breath and tried to count her down again, but she pressed her sword to the relief, and my gun involuntarily sent forward, and the door opened with great speed.

She said, "So, are you really a descendant of Longinus?" ”

I hurriedly said, "Don't you understand English?" I am Longinus himself, I am the Ranger of the Black Coffin, the scavenger of the Waterless Village, the Godslayer, the first master of the Black Coffin, the demonic possession, the cursed Frost Remnant, the saint Fishbone Longinus! Hey, what are you walking? Can you listen to me? ”

I followed her, and there was a chill in the castle that made me feel like I had walked into an ice cave, and in the stone carved hall, the walls were covered with a layer of frost, and the cold wind blew, and even the air condensed white.

A large dining table with the corpses of people sitting at the table, they had become dried corpses, the corpses were frozen, some lying on the table, some with their heads back.

I asked, "It's called Sagan's Gate, what is this place?" ”

Zhao Luo said: "Sagan Castle, here are the remains of the ancient Assyrian dynasty. ”

I said, ", how can the remnants of the Assyrian dynasty be in San Francisco?" I'm afraid that your knowledge of geography is limited. ”

Zhao Luo said: "No, no, this is another world, and the landform and orientation are not completely similar to the real world. ”

I asked, "That can't either.... Tens of thousands of kilometers away...."Speaking of which, I know that I am raising the bar, and it is entirely possible to move such long distances. We can go back from the mountains of Europe to the deserts of the Americas in an instant, and what geographical chaos can't be realized?

Zhao Luo said: "The nobles of the Assyrian dynasty once founded a cult that worshipped an immortal, a great sage, who had helped thousands of sick people. And this Sagan Castle was left behind by the Sage. ”

She melted the ice from the door with her flaming sword, and I pushed open the wooden door, and we began to walk up the stairs, the castle was unpretentious, no carvings, no decorations, no frescoes, and the man who built the castle was an iron man.

I asked, "How did you get here from the East?" East there .... Are you okay? Isn't it all demons? ”

Zhao Luo said: "My eyes can find the entrance to the other space, and the fire of wisdom can guide me. The East, like this place, has become a lair for the moon demon and a refuge for the sun devil. ”

Moon Devil, Sun Devil? This is quite figurative, referring to the demon and the Sun King.

I asked, "What is the treasure you are looking for?" ”

"A book, or rather, a fragment of a book."

"Books? Is this book valuable? "Maybe sell it to Michael.

Zhao Luo shook his head and said, "It is a relic of my ancestors. ”

"Who are your ancestors?"

We soon reached the top floor of the tower, where there was a chair that looked like a throne, and behind the chair was a huge statue of a loving young man with three eyes and open hands.

I looked at Zhao Luo, then at the statue, and asked, "Is it your ancestor?" ”

Zhao Luo replied, "Yes, he is, he is a flood ancestor of the Western Blood Clan, named Salot, and he has eyes that can penetrate the soul of a human being. ”

I'm not interested in the long, rotten genealogy of the Bloodline, except that St. Longinus was once a member of the Bloodline.

She also said: "My real name is not Zhao Luo, but light cicada." It is said that thousands of years ago, the ancestor of the Bloodline traveled to the East to learn the philosophies of the Bloodline there. He was called Zhao Luo there, and later, he returned to the West. But in the east, we left our branch, called the 'Zhao Luo' clan. And when we walk here, we often call ourselves Zhao Luo, so that Westerners don't call us by the wrong name and cause disputes. It wasn't long ago that I got the eye of this Salot. ”

I was a little smug and said, "Okay, the cicada is quite awkward, I'll still call you Zhao Luo." It turns out that the blood clan of the East also originated from us in the West. ”

Zhao Luo shook his head and said: "No, you didn't understand, Salot-Zhao Luo didn't go to the East to preach, he was to study, to learn scriptures, and to learn the ideas of the East from a great ancestor of the blood clan in the East." He was a pioneer, but he did not comprehend the true meaning of the Eastern Blood Clan in Zhao Luo. ”

"That book is..."

Zhao Luo said: "The ancestors of Salotte were greatly inspired by Eastern philosophy, but they also realized that the nature of the Eastern Blood Clan is completely different from that of the Western Blood Clan, and the method that can save the Eastern Blood Clan cannot save the Blood Clan below. After settling in the Assyrian Empire, he began to re-examine the nature of the Western bloods. He left behind an ancient book called Erguia, and that's what I'm looking for. ”

I sighed, "That book must be of little use to me?" ”

Zhao Luo shook his head and said, "It's completely useless, you don't have the wisdom to comprehend the profound knowledge in Erguia's book, and besides, as a non-blood clan, you can't benefit from the book at all." ”

I gave a thumbs up, pointed it at myself, and said, "I'm Longinus!" An ancient Blood Elder. ”

Zhao Luo said: "You're not, please don't joke." You're not a Bloodline at all, but just a magically savvy human who happened to find Longinus' holy sword, just as I happened to find Salot's holy sword. ”

I said, "You don't understand, it's a kind of magical reincarnation..."

I preached to Lamia about my miraculous origins, but even Lamia didn't believe it at all, and even forgot about it. I suspect that this is also a curse in some way, and it is easy to suffer if you talk too much, and it is simply difficult for the world to remember.

Zhao Luo didn't say anything more, she walked towards the throne, and I saw that there was actually a person sitting on the throne, he was sealed by ice and snow, his body was short, and he looked like an ornament on the throne.

I asked, "He's... Is he Salot? ”

Zhao Luo said: "He was sealed by the sacred frost, it could not be Salot, the ancestor was murdered by a despicable enemy, this is likely an ancient human who worshiped his ancestors." ”

Is Salotte dead?

Zhao Luo shone the person on the throne with a fire sword, the ice and snow began to melt, and suddenly, a sharp whistle came from the top of the palace, which made my heart chill.

It was a woman covered in frost white and blood-red, holding an icicle hanging in the air, her hair was half bald, and her green eyes were full of ferocity.

She's a demon? Or the Awakened Bloodline?

Zhao Luo said, "Please help me block her, if you can." ”

I knew that I had run in vain, and in my frustration, I just wanted to go home early, and the woman suddenly lunged at me, and I drew my thunder sword and cast the Extinction Blade, and a flash of lightning scorched her to the ground.

Zhao Luo asked, "What kind of artifact are you?" ”

I said: "This is technology, high technology, and now there is no such thing as an artifact, and high-tech weapons are the trend." The 22nd century is the century of high-tech weapons, have you heard this phrase? A fire sword like yours is a toy in modern technology. ”

Zhao Luo said: "I know, I am not an old antique, a certain country in the East has suffered a great disaster because of nuclear weapons, but this wisdom fire sword has incomparable power. ”

As I spoke, I saw more of these frosty and snowy strangers crawling into the palace, as if they were frozen to the waist, unable to stand upright, and could only crawl and move, or clinging to the walls, like some kind of lizard.
