Chapter 168: Gabriel Hepburn
Alan walked over as he spoke, his tone a little dry, but full of sincerity, he had wanted to call the old man Mr. Louis, but at this moment it was obviously more appropriate to call Mr. Hepburn.
On the other side, Des Hepburn did not stop Allen's actions, in his eyes Allen's existence was no different from an ant, and he did not think that this teenager could have any impact on the current situation.
"Alan, I'm really sorry to get you involved. ”
The old man looked apologetic.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, and I was only halfway drunk and hurried to die. ”
Alan couldn't help but laugh when he heard the old man's words, but he laughed bitterly, as if he had chewed a yellow lotus in his mouth.
"Haha!" the old man was amused by Allen's words: "Allen, do you remember the stone I gave you at the beginning?"
"Here!" Alan took off his bag and took out the strange stone from it and handed it to the old man.
When Dece Hepburn saw the stone, he not only frowned, but he didn't see any danger and abnormality from the stone, and the current situation was completely under his control, so he didn't stop the two of them, and he even wanted to see with some interest what skills the old man still hadn't used.
The old man took the stone and rubbed the rough lines on it, his expression was a little weird, and even a little proud.
"Alan, haven't you always wanted to know the secret of this stone, you'll see it soon. ”
The old man coughed violently again, and blood spurted out of his mouth again. The white halo on his body was already very light at this time, and the injuries suppressed by the white halo recurred, obviously the treatment technique could no longer heal the old man's injuries, but only maintained the old man's life.
"Alan, infuse all your fire-based magic into this stone in a moment and throw it into the air. ”
As the old man coughed, he sent a wave of sound directly to Allen's ear. Although Alan didn't know what the old man was going to do, he still nodded, and he had quietly grasped a red crystal in his arms.
Blood splattered on the surface of the strange stone in his hand, speckled with spots. The old man put his other hand on the strange stone at this time, and recited a strange incantation in his mouth.
Under Allen's somewhat surprised gaze, the blood spots on the surface of the strange stone began to emit a dazzling blood-colored light, and then the blood spots began to slowly merge into the strange stone.
"Click!"
The shell of the surface of the strange stone cracked, revealing the red light inside, making it impossible for people to look directly at it, nor to see the existence in the light, losing the restraint of the shell, the light expanded rapidly, and the diameter soon reached about two feet.
"Alas!"
A long and desolate sigh echoed in everyone's minds, as if a certain wild beast from ancient times was waking up after a long period of dormancy, the sigh did not appear in the situation of sound, but directly appeared in everyone's minds, with an invisible coercion, as if bringing people to the wild universe hundreds of millions of years ago, the continent was rampant with giant monsters, and human beings felt so humble and small in it.
"Don't!"
Des Hepburn finally lost his usual calm, his expression became panicked, his voice was bitter and desperate, and at this moment he finally knew what the old man's last hole card was, that is, the stone, and in front of that thing, everyone including himself was an ant.
Dees frantically lunged at the old man, trying to stop him, but the old man threw the light at Allen, and he pounced on Dece Hepburn.
Alan threw the red crystal in his hand at the light, and before he could cast a spell to release the fire magic energy in the crystal, the light had already engulfed the crystal, and there was not even a trace, Alan didn't hesitate and think more, a levitation spell was released on the light cluster, and the light ball rose into the sky in everyone's field of vision.
Gutsian picked up a stone and threw it at the ball of light in the air, and after the high-speed stone hit the ball of light, it was swallowed up by the ball of light without even a reaction.
The figure of the old man mixed with blood has been knocked back by Des Hepburn, and fell beside Allen, Allen grabbed the old man's shoulder, only to see that there was a blood hole in the old man's chest, and a large amount of blood was gushing out frantically, this scene made Alan almost can't believe that so much blood could flow out of the old man's thin body.
Seeing the crimson ball of light flying high into the air, Tis's expression was full of panic, he gave up on the old man and the child, and then shouted:
"Retreat! Immediately, retreat in a different direction!"
With that, Dice Hepburn's men had disappeared from their places and flew north.
Since the appearance of Dith Hepburn, the great swordsmen and cardinals, including Gutesian, have not acted, but have just quietly watched the progress of the situation, and they feel that since the Lord has appeared, he must be able to deal with the affairs here. It wasn't until the old man broke the seal on the strange stone and released the power in it that several people realized that the situation was a little bad, but they didn't realize the deadly danger in it, after all, the combination of their group of people already represented the strongest force on the continent, and even a few giant dragons came to attack without any benefit.
However, the order to retreat from Tis Hepburn made them panic, they had never seen such a panicked moment on the Lord, so they did not bother to ask what was happening, Gutsian picked up the seriously wounded Stephen and ran to the east, leaving the two great swordsmen and the three cardinals to run in the direction of the South Mountain on the south side.
Little Rick looked at his grandfather and was so frightened that he took off his cotton coat to plug the old man's wounds, but the cotton clothes were quickly soaked with blood.
The old man grabbed Rick's hand and didn't let him continue his useless efforts.
"Rick, that man is telling the truth, I'm your father. ”
The old man looked at Rick lovingly, but his eyes were filled with deep sadness.
"No, he's lying to me. ”
Rick shook his head, tears in his eyes, unwilling to accept the fact.
"Rick, time is running out, you can finish listening to me. ”
Rick nodded, and the old man patted his little head with a bleak smile.
"My original name was Gabriel Hepburn, and I was the fifteenth Pope of the Holy See. Your mother's name is Natalie Fielding, and she was once a saint of the Holy See, and I don't know if it was fate or divine will, but we two people who shouldn't love each other are in love. ”
The old man's mind seemed to be immersed in memories, and there was a rare expression of happiness and longing on his face.
"Although we kept the matter secret, it was discovered by my nephew, Des Hepburn. ”
The old man's tone paused slightly, and his expression changed, revealing unwillingness and melancholy.
