Chapter 164: Divine City Awakens
Inside the main hall, Salmeron's body, under the light of green light, had turned a strange cyan. Little by little, his body was fading, and he had begun to become a translucent existence. Tiny crystalline particles flew up from his body and flew towards the green gem of the Divine City.
There was no sound at the scene, but Queen Laura felt that she could hear a scream from her soul, Salmeron's last eyes met her gaze, and that look was full of pain, Laura knew what a strong person her teacher was, she never expected to see such a look in his eyes, a canvas called torture, painted with despair, resentment, and fear, so that Laura felt a chill rush down her spine.
Tears swirled in her eyes and finally flowed.
A pair of hands wrapped around her shoulders were none other than her husband Sherlock: "There is no need to grieve, dear Laura, it will not be long before Salmeron's body will be part of the body of many saints." Not only did he not disappear, but he took a step towards eternity. ”
Laura's chest rose and fell violently with the accumulation of resentment, and she tried to hold back at first, but Sherlock's increasingly flirtatious tone made her unable to suppress the urge to speak: "If this is such an honorable mission, then why don't you do it yourself!"
Sherlock's hand squeezed her shoulder, "Because I can't live without you." What's more, the god of nature has set the rules for everything in the world, just like a tiger will eat a rabbit, a rabbit will eat grass, and grass will draw nutrients from the soil. I'm a tiger, so why should I be a rabbit being eaten?"
"But have you ever thought that rabbits don't want to be eaten?" argued Queen Laura.
"Laura, you forgot something very important. Rabbits do not have the right to decide whether they will be eaten or not. Sherlock chuckled and said, "It's like Salmeron can't decide whether or not she'll become the nourishment of the Divine City here." Because he was weak, he had no choice. Because you are weak, you have no way to decide your own destiny. ”
Princess Laura is obviously a strong warrior, but at this time, in front of Sherlock, she looks like a helpless little girl.
In the short time that the two of them spoke, Salmeron's body had turned into nothingness, and the brilliance on the green gem was much more than before.
"O ancestors of the Divine City, the bridge to reality has been built, and the bricks and tiles that will build your bodies have been prepared. Come down to this world, the glory of the gods of nature, and you need to defend it. Fahs stood in front of the orb of the city of God and uttered these words in an almost prayerful tone.
He said it three times in a row, and finally there was a response from the Divine City.
"Your prayers have been heard, and the way of the coming has been opened, so get ready for our coming. ”
The green gem suddenly brightened, and the countless souls walking below suddenly became more distinct, and one of them broke through the defense of the green gem, pierced the ball, and came to the real world.
A faint figure appeared in front of several people: "I feel the world again, this feeling is really good." ”
"You are the Golden Bough Priest of this era, you have done a good job, contributed a powerful master, made a good start to the first step of our arrival, and now we can finally hear the shouts outside. But my companions are looking forward to the follow-up nourishment you have prepared, so that we can break free from the emerald and have a solid body in this world. ”
"My lord, what should I call you. Fahs asked.
"My name is Dominic. The voice replied.
"It turns out that the Lord Commander of the Divine City has arrived, and legend has it that after Eldron disappeared, you were given the responsibility of commanding the Divine City. ”
"Well, that's me, I didn't expect that thousands of years have passed, and time will still sing my name. "Dominic's voice is very haughty. However, he does have arrogant capital, it can be said that he is the sage who rules the saints, and he is also the current ruler of the Divine City. According to records, if it weren't for the fact that the god of nature fell into a deep sleep soon after Eldron's disappearance, Dominic would have received the glory of being given divinity, and then his power would have changed drastically, and he would have become a demigod, and of course, in terms of his own strength, he should also be in the forefront of the Holy Order.
"Lord Dominic, may I ask how many saints will come to the world this time, I have prepared two thousand slaves, I don't know if it is enough?"
"Two thousand?" Dominic was silent.
Strange as he asked, "Is there anything wrong with it, my lord? If it is not enough, I will have the secular kingdom prepare more sacrifices." ”
Dominic's voice deepened and asked, "Don't you know how many Sages are left in the Divine City after the last God-killing War?"
Fahs said, "We know that there were about a hundred more Sages who returned to the Divine City after the war. However, to be on the safe side, we have some more slaves on hand. ”
"There are only forty-eight. Dominic said.
"How so!" said Fahs, surprised.
Dominic said: "At that time, it was said that more than 100 people were to stabilize the morale of the army, but at that time, after all, God was asleep again. Once the power of the gods is weakened, it will be difficult to maintain the state of the god city open. It is you who are fighting against the Seven Towers in the world, and we must give you some faith...... In fact, many Sages have been hit hard by the heresies of the Seven Towers, and even if they return to the Divine City, they will not be able to return to their eternal state. At that time, there were still more than eighty remaining Sages. ”
"Then how do you ...... now," Fahs wondered.
"Then something happened in the City of God. That's not something you need to care about. All you need to know is that there are only so many Sages left. ”
"Yes. Lord Dominica. So can we start now? Even though we have a lot more sacrifices in store. But that should provide more material for adults to form their bodies, right?"
"Hmm. It doesn't matter, we can extract the best parts of the body of the sacrifice. Won't waste one's. Dominic said indifferently, "Don't leave the range of ten meters around the Divine City for a while, this range is the safest, we control the Divine City to bypass you, no matter how far it is, it is not something I can control." ”
Fahs said, "Wait a minute, my lord. The range of 100 meters is already beyond the walls of this fortress, and we still have a large number of priests and warriors on those walls. ”
Dominic said, "They were sacrifices." Do you think that some young slaves can be a source of our strength?"
