Chapter 379: Shouldering a Heavy Responsibility
The moment that voice sounded, Ye Qingxuan's face changed suddenly.
On the remaining armor of his leg, a dagger ejected with his movements, the blade of the dagger was twisted and eerie, like a serpent, slicing through the wind, leaving a chilling steel glow in the air, and finally fell into his hand, stabbing forward as his body twisted.
The movements in a moment were concise and neat, and after thousands of tempers, Ye Qingxuan exploded all his remaining physical strength in an instant, and it was extremely fast.
Just for a moment.
The dagger pierced into someone's body, piercing through the back, without making any sound, as if piercing through a cloud of empty air, not even the slightest touch.
But the dagger did stab.
"Recklessness is poison, young man. β
The person who was stabbed slowly shook his head, as if sighing: "Toxicity is better than the so-called 'courage'." β
He stretched out his hand, grabbed Ye Qingxuan's wrist, and slowly pushed it out. The power was not strong, but it was full of a stability that was hard to resist, and little by little, the dagger was pulled out of the body.
The dagger fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
Ye Qingxuan couldn't move.
Up and down, at that moment, I was shocked by the sudden terrifying majesty, and every inch of flesh and blood stiffened in place in fear, not daring to have the slightest presumptuous in front of that 'behemoth'.
Even the sanity is subdued, tends to be still, and it is difficult to function.
Behind Ye Qingxuan, there was an emaciated figure.
He was wearing a cloak of black feathers, and his whole body was shrouded in the cloak, which was more than two meters high, but he was not strong. His waist-length hair was like ashes, and his face was pale and bloodless. There was no anger or gloom to be seen.
It's like being impaled with a dagger is just a trivial matter, and the young man in front of him is like dust.
He just lowered his head and looked down at Ye Qingxuan, as if he was looking at something interesting, and he couldn't see any irritability and disgust.
"You...... Who is it?"
Ye Qingxuan made a sound with difficulty.
"Me?"
He said lightly: "I have had many names, but I am afraid that they have been forgotten now. Only my least favorite one survives to this day. β
"You can call me ......"
He paused. Said the name:
βPaganini. βββ
Ten minutes ago, the Knights Templar, the Iron Whale, the Central Temple.
Summoned Colt walked briskly into the temple, led by the priest to the hanging emblem, and bowed his head respectfully.
"Colt, the representative of the Rock and Iron Academy, has been summoned, may I ask what the Holy City has commanded when the conscription is here?"
"Colt. Be prepared for cotone. β
A hoarse old voice sounded in the emblem, full of familiarity and unceremoniousness, and simply ordered: "Enter the prayer room in ten minutes and guide the light of the lighthouse." β
Colt was stunned for a moment, then raised his head in an offensive manner, and looked at the holy emblem, like seeing an old man in the distance behind the holy emblem.
"Teacher?"
He was overjoyed: "I haven't become a master yet." Are you saying that I already have access to the Lighthouse?"
For hundreds of years, the flame has been passed down from generation to generation. Carrying on the same mission, the majestic 'Lighthouse' scepter was eventually built in the Aether.
Since then, the light of the lighthouse has finally been lit and hung high in the etheric realm, fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the past generations of secret keepers - to ignite the light and illuminate the dark world. Observe the realm of the whole world and advance to the realm of omniscience.
Even if it is not easy to use, and it is impossible to maintain global observation at any time, and the cost is many, the power is still huge. In the long history. The Keepers worked closely with the Holy City, enjoyed a high status, and became an authority in the School of Revelation
This is also the reason why the status of the Secret Keepers is so exalted among the Revelation factions.
It is a great honor for any apocalyptic musician to be in tune with the 'lighthouse' and to guide the light of the lighthouse. Not to mention that mastering the vast scepter is tantamount to becoming an all-knowing god, who knows all the darkness and secrets.
Even if he is the chief of the current generation of the Secret Keeper School, the 'lighthouse' is still an unattainable honor for Colt.
Because of this, he was nervous, afraid that it was just a bad joke.
And Master Heisenberg's voice remained indifferent.
"This is your chance, Colt. β
He said, "Master Koch has fallen, and you are the only Apocalypse musician who can become the source of coordinates in Romulus. I give you my authority that you will represent the School of the Secrets as the Eye of the Holy City in Auschwitz, reporting directly to the Papal Chamber and informing the decisions of the Cardinal Church.
There's a lot of responsibility, you know?"
Colt was suddenly ecstatic, forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart, and bowed his head and replied: "I, I understand, teacher, please rest assured, I will live up to my ......"
"-Don't get carried away!"
The cold voice was like ice in the deep sea, which made Colt stunned.
Master Heisenberg coldly reprimanded: "The way of enlightenment lies in concentration and calmness, only by pulling oneself out of the field can we understand the situation, otherwise we will lose our independence, and what we see is just a blind eye, what truth can we talk about?"
You've studied for so many years, and you can't help yourself when you encounter an accident, don't you even understand such a simple truth?"
"Teacher, I'm ......"
"No need to explain, let's go down and prepare. β
Heisenberg's voice gradually faded away, and the emblem slowly extinguished, leaving only the last faint voice: "After all, it is useless......
Colt stared blankly at his emblem.
After a long time, as if thinking of something, he lowered his head.
"I see, teacher. β
Ten minutes later, the attendant came respectfully: "The central prayer room is ready. β
Colt raised his eyes to look at him, and the attendant was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but take a step back.
The pupils were hollow and calm, indescribable, like a whirlpool in the deep sea, just being looked at, it was suffocating.
"Please, please come with me......" The squire didn't dare to look any further.
Col nodded and motioned for him to lead the way, and on the way, he casually asked, seemingly unintentionally, "Excuse me, before me, the Holy City recruited other musicians?"
The squire replied, and Colt heard the name again, as he expected.
"I see. β
He smiled and nodded, but his eyes turned cold, like a reflection of the cold winter wasteland.
In the desolation of nothing, there is a fire brewing-
With the help of the central prayer room of the Iron Whale Temple, the harmony with the lighthouse went as smoothly as expected.
Unexpectedly, he was so calm, without any panic and nervousness, nor the slightest excitement and joy. It's as if the emotions have been frozen, and there is nothing to look forward to and nothing to be excited about.
All that was left was a dead calm.
He closed his eyes and by the light of the lighthouse, he cast his gaze on the city in the distance.
Then, he saw it.
The ups and downs of the musicians from the abyss, and the masters who strangled in the same place. The sheer power and terrifying rhythm of the sacred fire contained in that strange city.
And also......
And the white-haired young man who was at the top of the city, pushing the door and walking towards the sacred fire.
So familiar, yet so coincidental, like every time in the past, Colt could only stare at his back, watching him disappear behind the door of the temple.
As if stung by the color of the white hair, he closed his eyes.
"Ye Qingxuan......"
He muttered in a low voice, as if chewing flesh, and for some reason there was a taste of blood between his lips and teeth.
"Ye Qingxuan. β
He suddenly smiled, as if he had finally found a solution from his pain and madness.
He stretched out his hand, and in the light of the lighthouse, in the infinite information he observed in an instant, he gently erased one of the lines, coincidentally splicing two different logical threads together.
As a result, the results were very different.
The smile on the corner of his mouth disappeared, his expression became serious and panicked, and he used his authority to connect to the Holy City again.
"Teacher, the current situation is unsupportable, the abyss is taking over the control core, and the masters are afraid to ...... Fierce and auspicious!"
There was a dead silence, and for a long time, Master Heisenberg let out a stunned voice:
"What did you say?!"
"The abyss has been prepared for a long time, and it has now gained the upper hand in all aspects. Colt replied in a trembling voice, "I have provided all the observations, but in a few minutes, I am afraid that everything will fall into the control of the abyss." β
"Do you know what you're talking about? Colt. Master Heisenberg reviewed the information from the Iron Whale Temple, and his voice became hoarse: "Are you sure?"
"Yes, teacher. β
The corners of Colt's mouth curled into a mocking smile, and he repeated: "Action must be taken, and the Cardinal Church must make a quick decision......!
Communication was lost.
Colt sneered and counted down in silence: ten, nine, eight, seven......
Before the arrival of the 'three', the communication arrived again, this time in a strange and serious voice: "Colt, this is the Cardinal Church. β
"You will temporarily have the authority of 'Bishop' to convey orders to the Templar Order on behalf of the Papal Chamber. β
The voice paused for a moment, then became firm as iron: "The Holy City has issued the 'Purification Instrument' and granted the Templar Order the activation code of the 'Heavenly Gate'!"
- Even if Auschwitz is erased from the map, the abyss will never be allowed to succeed!"
"I understand it below. β
Colt bowed his head deeply, bowing to this supreme authority.
Then, the silent ...... Laughed.
Farewell, Ye Qingxuan. (To be continued.) )
