19. Stardust Sky

I looked at Ambrosa's shadow on the tent cloth, one moment like an angel, the next like a demon, and the next I realized that it was my hallucination, that he was human.

Ambrosa said, "Those demons are looking for me. ”

I asked, "Looking for you?" Are you important? ”

Ambrosa smiled, "No, it doesn't matter, because I don't know what I'm supposed to do anymore." ”

"You took advantage of us and took Constantia with you! Where is she? ”

Ambrosa: "She's in a safe place, away from Yazlar's demagoguery. ”

I said, "I have a saying that you don't take it to heart, I always feel that she is more dangerous in your hands." ”

Ambrosa shook his head and sighed, "I need these rare Nefarems. ”

"Why?"

"I have my reasons."

I don't want to ask too much, because it's useless to ask.

Ambrosa added: "Not only Belel, but also Azlar, Dagon, Asmodeus, and Abbaden, they are depraved and twisted, and they are no longer the old ones I know. ”

In an instant, I remembered who this Ambrosa was, perhaps Lucifer, who had sealed my memory and now released it.

Ambrosa: "They have been sealed away in the darkness for a long time, and they have become so deformed that I do not know who among them is an enemy and who is a friend. ”

I was stunned for a long time before asking, "You caused this rift?" ”

Ambrosa: "It's the so-called alien technology of the Era Empire, which uses the energy difference of space to obtain a huge amount of energy. This energy is dangerous, it comes from the demons in the depths, and they are not unaware of it, but they still do it. ”

Deeply frightened, I asked, "Barr?" ”

"I don't know much about Baal, he wasn't one of the original demon archdukes, but he was the most radical of all demons, and this rift is ominous and weird. ”

"Why the hell are you looking for me?"

Ambrosa handed me an hourglass, the red sand in the hourglass was circulating, and he said: "On the second level of the rift, the Epoch Empire is building complex machines, and once built, whether this rift exists or not, they can directly access the energy of the demons in this place and transport it to the center of the empire, just as the remains of ancient creatures constitute the oil in the ground, and they turn the souls of thousands of demons into energy. ”

I said, "They must not be allowed to succeed!" That would only summon more demons into the world. ”

Ambrosa laughed, "Old friend, your intuition and magic literacy have not completely disappeared. Yes, I doubt this facility will be a ceremony to summon Baal. ”

I looked at Ambrosa and said, "Why didn't you just kill Baal?" You are the head of the angels that once were. ”

Ambrosa: "All the demon archdukes are tracking me, and there are many others besides them... Countless demons hated me and thought I had betrayed them, and I couldn't reveal much about my whereabouts, but among them, Belel was especially persistent and sensitive, and he had almost found me last time. So, as always, I will use the power of mortals to deal with my past colleagues. ”

"Then you are indeed a traitor."

Ambrosa raised his head like a rising morning star, and said, "No, I have not betrayed them, but only a conjecture of their madness after they were lost in the darkness." ”

"Why did you stop Barr? And the Epoch Empire? And the last Yazlar and Belel. ”

Ambrosa replied, "Because I have not fallen like them, I still have the first hope." ”

He pointed to the hourglass and said, "This is an artifact, called Stardust Sky, you must put it in the center of that facility within two days, you have five minutes to evacuate, it will destroy the entire second layer, completely close the rift, after five minutes, all the humans left in the rift will die, even you may not survive." ”

I was worried, and said, "Maybe a lot of people will die, people from the Era Empire, and our people, this map cannon is too large. ”

"If this is not the case, the cost of not being able to close this rift will be even greater, and some sacrifices will have to be made," Ambrosa said. The consequences we've done are much worse than that, old friend. ”

"What... What are the consequences? ”

Ambrosa wasn't going to give me an answer.

I asked, "Does it take five minutes for this hourglass to explode?" In five minutes, will the Anno Empire stop it? ”

"They can't stop, not even Barr or Bellet. I'll know when the hourglass reaches its destination. ”

I said, "How do you know?" ”

Ambrosalem Leng said: "You are in the crazy net, so I can know, but these madmen are unpleasant, and it is really inconvenient for them to snoop, so, I have temporarily isolated you from the crazy net." ”

Indeed, when I calmed down, I no longer felt the terrifying, haunting effects of the mad web. In the presence of Lucifer, who claims to be the first angel, the web of madness is as fragile as a child's toy.

Then the monk disappeared, and it took me a long time to look at the hourglass in my hand and remember that a monk had visited me and provided me with valuable information. But why did he know so much? Why is there such a vital hourglass? I can't remember it anymore.

I urgently woke up the Legang and the hermits, and gathered in the command center.

They were surprised when I told them the purpose of the Anno Empire, and when I showed them the hourglass, they were speechless for a long time.

Mai Zong asked, "Where did you get it?" ”

I laughed dryly a few times and said, "It's who, that.... Lamia, do you remember? It was the one who sent it, I forgot his name. ”

Lamia was thoughtful, but it took a full minute before she said, "It's the inner response of an era empire, a monk." ”

Dunn, the old black man, asked, "Do you trust this Neiying?" Why did he tell us such important news? How did he know? What's in it for him? ”

I replied, "I trust this man, and as for why I trust him, that's my personal feeling." ”

Norman gave me a skeptical look and said, "If it's what you say, we'll have to speed up, take the second floor in two days, set this thing up, and then evacuate in a few minutes." This would disrupt our plans and force us to change our deployment. ”

Le Gang: "This is a surprise attack, do you plan to advance step by step?" ”

Norman shouted, "Of course! Our sword and shield will be good at moving forward steadily, steadily, and our victories are not piled up with human heads. ”

Vasilisa also muttered, "If the enemy only wants to obtain energy, and not to destroy the Sword and Shield Society, the consequences are not unacceptable. ”

I said, "If you look at it this way, we don't have to come all the way here, it doesn't matter if we succeed or fail anyway." ”

Vasilisa said, "Your information is too vague to be based on it. ”

Mai Zong gently put down the hourglass and said, "If it is false information, we are all dead now." ”

Vasilisa immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Mai Zong said: "The energy contained in this hourglass is enough to burn everything within five kilometers, and none of us want to live, I am afraid that even the ancestors of the flood will be crushed." ”
