Chapter 20: Follow the Light
Star Seal?
Vina frowned, this was the first time she had heard the term.
Auston sighed and said, "Now Hanina's situation can be said to be stormy, when Emperor Gray told me about this illusory thing, I actually didn't pay too much attention to it, but I didn't expect that our enemy elves not only already knew, but even knew very well...... It seems that I thought it was too simple. ”
Auston sank and continued: "Your Majesty, you must remember carefully what I say next, these are all entrusted to me by Gray the Great before his death. ”
As soon as Vina heard that this was her father's will, she immediately cheered up.
"The Star Seal, like the Edra family's fire ability, is an ability that is passed down through the bloodline, but unlike the fire ability, which awakens as it becomes stronger, the Star Seal's awakening is completely irregular. As far as I know, Grey the Great did not awaken to this power, not even your grandfather. ”
Vina was a little puzzled, if this was the case, this so-called Star Seal was completely a myth like a legend. Why do you take it so seriously? And what exactly does this star seal mean?
Auston saw Vina's question, and he continued: "If you want to explain what the Star Seal is, you have to start with your dream, Your Majesty, do you feel anything else in your dream besides the planet Hanina?" For example... A light? ”
When Auston mentioned it, Vina suddenly remembered!
In the dream, she did feel a light...... Or a beam of energy, a meteor? In short, an unknown thing quickly crossed the sky and galloped away into the distance.
"Your Majesty, this unidentified object is not your hallucination, according to historical records, everyone in the Edra family has felt it when they first awakened the power of the Star Seal! This is certain that this unidentified object is the trigger for the awakening of the Edra family..."
"What the hell is it... It is the answer that the royal family of Hanina has been striving for for generations, but unfortunately there has been no substantial progress, but the research of more than ten generations is not without achievements, at least it has been confirmed that it is under the influence of this unknown object that the Edra family will have the ability to perceive the planet Hanina! This ability is named the Star Seal. ”
Auston's words made Vina a little confused, and without the help of any magic and technology, she could perceive the entire planet by herself... This is too hard to accept, even if Auston explained it so solemnly, she actually didn't quite believe in the reality of that dream, if it was true, why had there never been a similar legend in countless civilizations in the entire universe, and why only the Edra family, who had lived in the Hanina system for generations, had this magical power?
Auston knew that Vina hadn't fully believed his words, and he wasn't anxious, and he couldn't understand it when Emperor Gray told him about it.
He pointed to the necklace on Vena's chest and continued: "Your Majesty, to prove that what I just said is true, in fact, the evidence is this necklace, this necklace is called the 'King's Mark' not just because it is a royal symbol, even if Your Majesty is not good at magic, you should know that any defensive enchantment needs to be replenished with magic power, otherwise no matter how large the mana reserve will be exhausted one day." But have you ever wondered why this necklace has been passed down through generations of Hanina's monarchs and can remain functional as long as it is not damaged? Because the power of the Star Seal of the Edra family is not only to be able to perceive the planet, but also to borrow the power of the planet! This 'King's Mark' is actually a special energy converter, and it doesn't need to be recharged because its mana reserves are the entire Hanina system! Unless the Hanina system is destroyed, it will never run out. ”
Vina unconsciously grabbed the necklace on her chest, she didn't know that this quaint necklace still hid such a huge secret.
"I was supposed to tell you these things after your bar mig...... ceremony," Alston sighed and did not continue.
Vina hung her head, she understood that it was all because of her own willfulness.
She only understood at this moment why Nolz was so obsessed with her necklace, with the long history of the elves and their superb magical attainments, it would not be strange for them to know that unknown object, although the star seal of the Edra family is a secret, but there is no impermeable wall in this world, combined with these two points, I am afraid that the elves have long coveted this tempting power.
Think about it, if you can completely control all the energy of a planet, what is the concept? You must know that the essence of the universe is actually galaxies and planets.
"Your Majesty, you should now understand why I would rather sacrifice all my guards, even my own life, to save this necklace."
Vena nodded earnestly.
Auston sat down slowly, looking a little tired, and he continued, "Also, watch out for the elves! I'm not just talking about their wolf ambitions. I doubt it... No, I'm already sure they're in cahoots with GY! ”
Vina was shocked, this is impossible, GY is unable to communicate, this is already common sense.
"The elven assassin...... Do you remember the unbelievable way he attacked with his whole body turning into flowing flames? Thanks to your careful observation, the elves are indeed very skilled in magic, but no matter how powerful they are, they should be limited to borrowing the energy of the natural world, and it is simply unreasonable to turn themselves into flowing flames like him. I was already suspicious when you brought this up, and by the time he pulled out his vertebrae and turned them into a bone whip, I was sure that it couldn't be called magic... No matter how powerful a magician is, he can't give up his body, it's the rule of life! ”
"And it's the same with Nolz, when he first attacked us, he tried to hide his true colors, and only attacked us with the magic he was good at, but when he was alone...... That giant claw and those disgusting tentacles..."
Vina asked suspiciously, "Tentacles?" ”
Auston was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that Vena was in an abnormal state at that time, and she didn't remember those clips. He didn't want to mention it again, after all, some scenes were still very embarrassing.
"Anyway, when Nolz was fighting you, he said that GY would give the elves a new body. I'm afraid the elves have already made a deal with GY... Although the elves have a long history and strong individual strength, their population is the biggest fatal wound, in the vast universe, a strong civilization must have a vast territory and a large population, neither of which the elves have ......"
Auston's face became more and more pale, and Vina realized that he had been clutching his chest, and beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead......
"O... Uncle Auston! What happened to you! Vina panicked, she knew that Auston had been hit hard by Nolz at that time and almost lost her life, but with Hanina's super self-healing ability, as long as she didn't die in the first place, she would slowly recover! Why did things turn out like this?
Auston smiled bitterly and slowly opened his tightly clenched palm, only to see a small bottle fall to the ground...... Vena's heart beat as if it had stopped a beat when she saw the familiar bottle, of course she knew it, it was a medicine that every Imperial soldier would be equipped with, called "Glory......
Trembling and wanting to reach out to pick it up, but his hand trembled and couldn't hold the small bottle, this kind of medicine that burns life force and stimulates potential, no matter how many injuries can be healed instantly, and the user will even burst out with stronger strength than usual! However, its side effects are also overbearing, after the effect of the drug, according to the degree of the user's injury, it will be crazy backlash, the more serious the injury, the more serious the backlash, maybe those who get timely treatment, a year and a half of rest can heal the injury, after taking this drug, may die on the spot after the effect.
Auston was injured at the time, and Vina knew very well that he had eaten such a deadly thing in order to save himself from escaping...... Auston touched the sobbing Vina and comforted, "I... I'm fine, I finally lived up to Emperor Gray's last request, and managed to protect you thoroughly. ”
Vina cried and threw herself on top of Auston, the last of her loved ones left, she really had nothing left.
"Your Majesty, we were able to escape here by mistake in the end, maybe it really has its own providence in the dark... Do you see that space-time converter in the middle? ”
Vina nodded tremblingly, she had a bad premonition.
"Even if the communicator is broken, I'm sure this place is out of the confines of the Imperial Tomb. This is directly below the Royal Palace. ”
Vena couldn't help but look up at the dome when she heard this, but it was too big to see the top in the dim light, only nothingness.
"It is unknown why that unknown object gave the Edra clan the ability to bring the star seal, but why only the Edra family can sense it is conclusive......"
Auston stopped here and took a breath, the side effects of "Glory" had begun to appear, and he was now so weak that he almost didn't have the strength to speak.
"Because the thing is moving so fast, there's no way to track it, and it doesn't have any effect on ordinary creatures. It's like a person running quickly through the grass, and the ants lying on the ground don't feel a behemoth passing by them, and the gap between the two sides is so big that it can happen when they are not in the same dimension. ”
"This unidentified object is like the person who is running by, and we are like the tiny ants...... But just because we can't feel it doesn't mean that the planet can't feel it, and if we amplify our perception to the entire planet of Hanina, we narrow the gap between the two, which is why only you who have awakened the Star Seal can feel it. ”
Auston's words were intermittent, and Vina couldn't bear it, and tried to interrupt him several times to let him rest well, but Auston refused. Vina could only hold back the grief in her heart and listen carefully to Auston's words.
"The temptation brought by the Star Seal is too great, and in order to prevent the news from leaking, the kings of the past have been secretly researching. Based on the sensation of the unknown object after awakening the star seal, they developed a tracking instrument... The principle of this instrument is to use the special ability of the Star Seal of the Edra clan to perceive the unknown object, and accelerate its body to the speed of light to track it......"
"But... This ability does not appear in every generation of the Edra family, and there is no way to simulate this ability through technology, so the research has been carried out intermittently......"
A trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth when he said this, and he waved his hand to stop Vina from wiping it for him, and continued: "When Emperor Gray told me this, he mentioned this place, the Emperor inherited the unfinished work of his ancestors, and the space-time converter was completed in his hands, but he himself did not have the ability of the Star Seal, and no one knows whether this machine can be used......
Alston was getting worse and worse, and he had to gasp for a long time with every word he spoke.
"Your Majesty, you can only take this space-time converter... It will lead you to track the energy left behind by that unknown object... I know it's risky, but it must have been providence that we ended up here, and I believe it was the Heavenly Spirit of the Great who blessed you. ”
Vina was crying profusely, and she hated Auston's last words.
"The average person's body will be pulled into an atomic state in this state, but you have the protection of the 'King's Mark' and will not be affected...... None of us knew where the unknown object would end up, but we had no way out, the way it had collapsed completely, and it was buried deep underground...... The rebellion of Nalal has led to the fact that no one will know that we are here..."
"That's... Uncle, what about you? ”
Auston smiled and touched Vina's already crying little face, since Vina inherited the throne, Oston has always been careful to abide by his duties as a courtier, and has never exceeded half a step in etiquette, this is the first time he has looked at Vina with the eyes of an elder.
"Uncle... Will be watching you here... to the end. ”
