Chapter 77: Priest of Veloch
The Vilochi, who have the ability to fly, brought them all to the island in the middle of the lake at the bottom of the valley. The thrilling is no longer enough to describe the feelings of those Lepeilian people at this moment, the appearance of overlooking the earth for the first time in their lives, this is not just a visual impact, but a shock from the heart.
The tall Veloch were able to fly with ease on their backs with two Lepelians. Tivod and Sango, Murdi and Miku, were each lifted into the air by the two Velochs, and then swooped down to the bottom of the valley.
"Wow—looking down from above, everything on the ground looks so small......" Tiward exclaimed, the wind whistling past his ears, he could barely hear himself, and his excitement was indescribable.
Sang Wuyi's eyes were full of surprise, and his mood suddenly opened up with the magnificent canyon, and all kinds of unfortunate encounters and heavy memories in the past seemed to have been left in the dust underground, getting farther and farther away from him, and he finally experienced an unprecedented heartiness.
"Don't we look so small in the eyes of the streamers? After all, they are looking down on us from every angle. "Tacit truth is sent.
"Maybe......" The future shifted his gaze from the ground to the higher sky, thought of his ancestors, thought of history, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart: why are we so small, but why are we so self-conscious? Why are we always clinging to things that are obviously destructive and absurd? Why do we always prefer to spend a lot of time and energy to create war and hatred instead of simply tolerating each other's differences? Maybe it's not because we can't do it, but because we don't want to do it at all.
Flying over the dark green water, they landed firmly on the island in the middle of the lake.
It's a very beautiful island, with lush forests, brightly colored flowers, and birds and animals that are not afraid of life at all. They are obviously accustomed to peaceful coexistence with the streamers who inhabit here, and from time to time they run to the streamers, rubbing their feet with their smooth fur, and unscrupulously coquettish and cute. Therefore, when they see Lepelian, they are not afraid at all.
An ignorant little beast suddenly jumped from a tree onto Tiward's shoulder, startling him, and screaming at once, instinctively swinging the little thing off his shoulder, causing the other three Leppes to laugh.
"You don't need to be afraid, animals are very intelligent and can sense changes in your emotions, and if you don't have any ill will towards them, they usually won't attack you. Silo said.
"But it's a beast after all, how can it distinguish between good and evil, and what if it suddenly becomes a beast?" Tiward still looked defensive.
Silo looked at his nervous expression, thinking about the deep-seated prejudices of the Lepelians, so he explained: "The animals here have not seen the Lepelians before, and they have not yet evolved a wariness of the Lepelians, and if you don't hunt them, most of them are very docile. Fear is due to a lack of understanding and trust. ”
Tiward was skeptical, so he had to smile awkwardly: "Because it was so sudden, I didn't have time to think about it at all, and I subconsciously ...... Actually, it's not that scary when you think about it, and since you can get along with them happily, then we should be okay too, right......?
Mo Di patted Tiward's shoulder and comforted, "Don't be nervous, you'll get used to it soon, after all, we're going to have to borrow it for a while." ”
"Your Excellen......cy," Tiward asked aggrievedly, "will we have nowhere else to go?"
Mo Di thought about it, suddenly smiled mysteriously, and said, "Perhaps, there is another place to go." ”
"Where?" Tyward's eyes lit up.
"Hmm...... What's this...... It may soon be known. Silent Di subconsciously looked at the back of the future, thoughtful.
Moye had always thought that all the priests of the Streamer Clan might be like the Sylvan priests, light but noble, elegant and rigorous, mysterious and inviolable. However, when he meets Priest Veloch, all illusions are dashed. The form he had seen so far had been white wings, silver-gray eyes, and a holy glow. But the Priest of Veloch was different.
He had a pair of shiny jet-black wings, a long tail of the same color, long jet-black hair, a white face, lips that were pale to almost transparent like those of the Sylvene priests, and eyebrows with small swirls and raised tails. The membrane in the eye is covered with mysterious patterns, and when the membrane is opened, a pair of small golden pupils appear. But none of this is too surprising, and what is even more surprising is that the priest of Velocchi exudes an evil spirit, as if he is a demon god coming from the depths of the demon realm, which makes people feel terrified and at the same time can't help but be sucked away by his strange beauty.
As soon as he saw the oncoming crowd, Priest Veloch slowly descended from the towering white rocks. He was tall and magnificent, with a proud demeanor, unclothed and loose trousers underneath, with a small motif of the sun and the tree of life at the cuffs of the trousers, and no other ornamentation.
"I've just seen a pair of incomparable fiery wings, oh, can we finally return to our homeland......" The mysterious streamer came out of the mouth of the Priest of Veloch, and there was a breathtaking magic as he stepped over to Priest Sylven, but his gaze remained fixed on the flaming child. Then he leaned down his tall body, landed on one knee, looked at the child in front of him in amazement, and said in a tone of great affection: "Is this your spirit body? My sun, you know me, right?"
"As soon as I saw you, I knew it. The child reached out and stroked his black hair, smiling happily as if he had recovered a long-lost treasure.
At this time, Priest Sirwen said, "We have no access to the demonic power of the Sun King, and we do not know how to return to our homeland, so it is imperative to find all the scattered people. ”
"Well, when the time comes, you'll know. Priestess Veloche stood up, and then his gaze fell on the demon field, and the pair of golden eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in surprise, "The Rysersi in the form of Lepelian, oh, what a rarity! This is the power of the Tree of Life, right?"
"Yes, priest. Of course, Mono knew that it was an affirmation, not a question. If he had been a Lepelian, he would have been lost by this time, but fortunately he was not, and he calmly folded his hands in front of his chest, and sincerely paid his respects to the demonic priest.
Priest Veloch then glanced back at Priest Sylven, as if silently discussing something, but quickly walked away. When passing by Chi Mo's side, he glanced at it casually, and left a sentence in the wind: "The power of healing is in your soul, believing in your own power is like believing in the existence of the Sun King......" Before the words fell, the pair of huge black wings flew into the air at lightning speed, and disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Chi Mo looked at the direction in which the Priest of Velocchi had disappeared, and the breathtaking voice still echoed in his ears. Generally speaking, streamers are taught by priests before they reach adulthood, including how to properly use their soul power, etc. As you grow up, your comprehension and ability will gradually improve. Just like Priest Sylven said before, because Chi Mo did not have a priest by his side when he became an adult, he missed the best period to awaken the demonic power, and his comprehension would be relatively delayed. However, once you break through this limitation, you won't be limited in the future.
"Should I believe in my own power, just as we believe in the existence of the Sun King......" Carefully reflecting on the words left by the Priest of Velocchi, Chi Mo finally suddenly became enlightened. "Yes, in fact, you told me a long time ago, it's not a matter of wings, but a matter of whether you believe it or not, but unfortunately I didn't understand it at the time. ”
Chi Mo turned to look at the flaming child, sincerely folded his hands in front of his chest, and gently closed his eyes as if praying, allowing himself to completely forget about this mutilated body and immerse himself in the vast and boundless realm of the soul - everything there is invisible, and it is precisely because it is invisible that it has infinite possibilities, allowing him to shape his own ideals, and even shape the wings he wants—this is the power that gives him life, and it is also the power that heals him- This power, like the Sun King, is real and natural.
In that moment, he was finally healed, and the wings of rebirth were so perfect that it was as if he had never lost them.
