Chapter 381 The Second Dream
"I just want to break through the battle with the strong."
Xia dragged her to her side and lay down, and peeked at the werewolf princess who was playing happily in front of her, and there was a sense of excitement that she was cheating.
"A swordsman's bottleneck?"
As long as she didn't go too far, Natyavida didn't resist getting close to her, and lay there and said:
"I think you're more suited to be a magician......"
The two were talking, and a big fish with a hideous face suddenly jumped in front of the toad.
The big fish seemed to be targeting the ogre on the toad's back, staring at it with bulging eyes, and swooping in from the air with its large mouth full of sharp teeth.
"Uhhh
The toad popped out his tongue unhurriedly.
Its tongue had been severed by Natsu, and there was no sign of it in less than a day, and this attack pierced the fish's body, and the big fish's eyes rolled and fell down, and it was held in the mouth by the toad swimming forward.
"Dinner is coming...... Let's go ashore and rest. β
Although according to Sadonan's words, this kind of monster can't die without sleeping for half a month, but Xia is not so harsh, although she doesn't have any good feelings for the toad.
"There's no way we can make a fire, and the tools don't work, are you used to eating raw things? The fish is fishy=. β
Delia snatched the big fish out of the toad's mouth, "Peng! He threw himself on the shore and jumped down.
The closer to the location of the World Tree, the stricter the stagnation of the elements; According to the observations of the three magicians, even the water flow is now somewhat abnormal, and they have seen floating water masses above the underground river more than once.
Even though these masses of water are fragile enough to shatter at the slightest touch, this strange phenomenon that defies nature casts a shadow over everyone's mind.
"Bang, bang!"
Natsu asked for flint from the black-clothed little Lori. I didn't fight for a long time.
"We don't have a chance to make a fire."
She said to Delia:
"Deria, do you have any other way to start a fire?"
"Lightning, thunder and lightning and anything like that, but there's no such thing here; My blue lightning is different from thunder and lightning magic, and cannot be used to ignite fire. β
The werewolf princess thought back to all the ways she could make a fire:
"And then there's friction to make a fire, but your flint can't hit it. This should also be useless. β
She is very interested in human knowledge and has learned a lot about camping in books.
"Then let's eat dry food."
Xia looked at the fresh big fish and said helplessly: "Let the ogre and toad eat this fish." β
The little Lori in black had already counted the werewolf princess's appetite when she took the food, so the preparation was still very sufficient, and everyone would not go hungry for a long time.
The ogre boss and the toad shared the big fish, and the others set up tents on the wet riverbank, and the little loli in black had hay and other things, and she was not afraid of the wet ground when she spread it under her.
"I'm going to meditate, don't disturb me."
Natya Vida asked for a small tent and lived in it alone. Before leaving, he smiled and said, "You can go to Deria." That sweet-looking smile made Xia Bushudder, who had originally planned to do so, and finally stayed in his own nest honestly.
"It's not okay to go on like this, how can the great cause of the harem be completed?"
She sighed and rummaged over the mat, thinking about this Yan zhΓ²ng question, and couldn't sleep.
Later, I suddenly remembered the crystallization that could make people dream, so I asked the little Lori in black and put it next to the pillow.
"The last dream made people have no clue, and that guy from Fei Nanxi actually said it was funny."
A wave of tiredness hit. The mysterious crystallization exerted a strong hypnotic effect as expected, causing her eyelids to slowly sink.
"I don't know if it's a prophetic dream. Or someone's memory......"
The silver-haired girl soon fell into a deep sleep and fell into a strange dream again.
β¦β¦
"This is the famous Fan Er Emperor Palace."
A handsome man in silver-white armor politely led the way in front, introducing the beautiful palace in front of the woman next to him:
"On the right is the Arcade of Cersir, where legend has it that the sun fell into the ocean; Now where we are is on the left, there are no epic legends, just interesting little stories. β
"Please tell me. Ice Blue Knight. β
The woman with a white veil on her body smiled lightly:
"So far, no one has told me a story."
"I'm honored to be the first."
The handsome man said sassily:
"The origin of this story is related to a merfolk under the sea......"
The two walked and talked, going around the front of the grand palace to the tower behind, where the queen's bedchamber was.
"It's a story that's a little sad, a little scary, not beautiful at all."
The woman's eyebrows showed sorrow:
"It reminds me of the people who have been devastated by war. Although they were heroic and able to fight for their beliefs, the end result was often tearful. β
"Darfred." She said to the man:
"Will you marry me for the sake of peace between our two countries?"
When she asked this question, her eyes shone with water, as if she was about to cry.
"This is not an answer I can give you, Your Highness."
Daffred took a deep breath and replied:
"I admit that you are charming and possess rare noble qualities, but I am a knight of the kingdom and must obey the wishes of Her Majesty the Queen."
"What's more, I also have a fiancΓ©e who loves me deeply, and I can't let her down."
At the mention of his lover, a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"Can you call me by my name, then?"
The saint's eyes showed a hint of jealousy, but there was tenderness in her voice.
"Absolutely...... Her Highness Helen. β
Darfred gave her a knightly salute.
Although he called the other person's name at the request of the holy woman, he still added an honorific title at the end.
"Your queen has dismissed the god's tiyì."
Helen walked to the scenic railing, looked at the whole city and sighed:
"How similar we are...... By God's grace, we all have a good desire to use God's power to benefit the people. But they can't get along peacefully. β
Her fingers suddenly gripped the railing, and her voice trembled:
"Davred, I'll ask you one last time...... Regardless of our faith and the Queen's wishes, will you marry me? β
"There is only one god for me, Your Highness Helen."
The Ice Blue Knight said solemnly:
"I also have only one love, so it's a pity. I can't agree to your request. β
"yes, then you've lost your last chance."
The Virgin Helen stood there looking out at the scenery and did not look back.
"I don't understand what you mean."
Davred frowned.
"Go to your queen, Darfred."
Helen whispered.
Then she fell silent.
"She's really charming."
Walking down the silent path, the handsome knight took out the ornament on his chest, and when he opened it, he revealed a portrait of a woman:
"But I withstood the test...... Dear Edian. He kissed the portrait and put it back in his arms.
"Your Majesty is not here."
Walking to the front of the dormitory, he was stopped by the expressionless guards:
"At the invitation of the Archpriest of Truis, Her Majesty the Queen changed her itinerary at the moment. I'm currently on a hunting tour with your guests outside the city, so you can go there and ask for an audience. β
"Luoan, Her Majesty the Queen asked me to come."
Dafred asked strangely:
"And what about Edian, is she there?"
"I don't know what His Majesty is arranged, Ice Blue Knight."
The guard called Luoan did not mean to be accommodating in the slightest:
"Sacrifice Ediane is in the middle of an important prayer, I'm afraid I can't see you."
"Are there any recent rituals?"
The knight, who had been blocked out of the dormitory, returned to the path on the left in confusion, where the figure of the saint was no longer visible.
"Maybe I should go to the temple and ask." He began to turn to the arcade on the right, where the temple was located.
The royal palace is not a place that everyone can approach. Usually it is sparsely populated, but today it is particularly deserted. I walked for a long time, and I didn't meet a single person on the way.
He stopped as he passed a garden full of white flowers.
Because in front of the flower bed, there was a black-robed man standing quietly.
Black is an ominous color, and even the people of the kingdom rarely wear such clothes, let alone in the royal palace. Such a dress is inevitably disrespectful.
"Who are you?"
Davred put his hand on the hilt of his sword and asked the man whose face he couldn't see clearly.
He is a supreme knight with the title of Hero and can carry a sword in the royal palace.
"I admire you, young knight."
The black-robed man faced this way, and a hoarse voice came out under his hat:
"You have potential...... Today may be the day of your transformation. β
He lifted one sleeve. A pitch-black orb appeared on it, looking like a terrifying eye.
"Take it."
The black-robed man said to him:
"It's my gift that will allow you to struggle in despair and finally get what you want."
"Cangchang!"
Dafred drew the sword at his waist:
"I feel darkness in you, and as a member of the Divine Realm, I never accept the gift of the abyss!"
"Holy Kingdom...... Hehehehehe......"
The black-robed man let out a low laugh:
"Now it's not, poor knight, you don't know anything."
After saying this, he suddenly raised his hand, and the black ball was embedded in the knight's eyebrows like lightning.
The knight let out a cry of pain, and the saber fell to the ground.
Tears flowed from his eyes, he only felt that it was pitch black in front of him, and a terrifying whisper sounded in his ears, and he covered his forehead with both hands and shouted:
"What did you do to me!!"
"I didn't do anything, I just planted a seed for you."
The black-robed man's sleeve slowly faded back, revealing an illusory palm.
The hand kept changing in the air, and the space around it was distorted, and there were shocking fluctuations from inside:
"The light of hypocrisy, the defiled holiness...... These are two things I both hate and admire. β
"Ahhh
The knight barely opened his eyes. Pick up the sword on the ground and stab at him.
The blessed sword easily pierced the black-robed man's body, but the other party stood unharmed, his body and sword passing through that position together, as if facing an illusion.
"I'll send you where you want to go, and I hope you won't let me down."
A dark light erupted from the black-robed man's hand, enveloping him entirely.
The knight had no ability to resist and was drawn into the dark maelstrom. Disappeared into the palace surrounded by a blue curtain of water.
"My sword will triumph over evil!"
He fell to the ground, his sword in his hand and chanting of courage.
"Darfred, what are you mad about?"
A female voice sounded in surprise.
The knight looked up and found himself in a familiar hall surrounded by several curious priestesses.
"Put away your sword, Kingdom Hero."
A priestess pursed her lips and smiled:
"Although your sword fights for the goddess, it is a bit rude to do so in the temple."
Dafred didn't understand what was happening, he would suddenly come to the temple and look up. The strange black-robed man was also gone, and the qiΔ just now seemed to be just his hallucination.
Amid the chuckle of the priests, he reached out to his brow and found that there were no scars there, and he could still feel the divine power pouring out of his chest as he muttered the prayer with his heart.
"Was it a hallucination?"
He sat there dumbfounded, thinking.
"I ...... Go and pray before the goddess. β
Darfred rose from the ground in a cold sweat, put his sword back into its sheath, and stumbled towards the idol's position.
"Please cleanse my soul. Cleanse my heart of filth, and make my sword sharp forever. Let my faith always be noble......"
Under the gentle gaze of the ice-blue idol, the young knight began to pray wholeheartedly.
"She is a lovable deity, but unfortunately she has been deceived by false lies, and now she has reached the end of her life."
The black-robed man appeared beside him at some point, looked at the statue of the goddess and said.
"It's you!!"
Darfred shouted and drew his sword, swinging it at him.
But the same as just now. The sword and body passed through the shadow of the other at the same time, without the slightest feeling of touching the entity.
"Look carefully at what is in front of you, and don't let your eyes be concealed by falsehood."
The black-robed man waved his sleeves.
The huge statue of the goddess suddenly dimmed.
The knight looked up in disbelief, only to see a cracked hole appear in the idol's plump chest, and a broken graceful arm. There was blood in his eyes, and his beautiful body was covered with cobwebs and cracks.
The originally gentle and elegant goddess suddenly turned into a poignant ghost, and her curses could be heard in her ears, so sharp, so sad, constantly accusing a vague name.
"If you hear that name one day, it means that you have the right to revenge."
The black-robed man said:
"And now, you're just a fooled fool."
"Priest Chief!!"
Looking at the goddess in front of him, shrouded in resentment and sorrow, the knight let out an angry roar.
Unable to bother with the taboo of touching the idol, he jumped into the pool where the god was enshrined, and touched its cracked surface with trembling hands.
The things on his hands were undoubtedly dust and filth, and beneath his feet was muddy, smelly black water, and the statue had not been cleaned for a long time.
"I'll take you to that place."
The black-robed man threw a knight's spear and stirrup from his sleeve:
"Your horses are waiting for their masters in the suburbs, take them with you, I am a merciful man...... This will be your last chance. (To be continued......) R1292
