Chapter Forty-Eight: The Moonset and Rising Level (I)
Seven days have passed since Mo Xuan came to Austin. In the past seven days, Mo Xuan has become somewhat familiar with Austin. Oro didn't know how to find him a few times these days, and each time they would set a table to eat and drink for a long time. Every time, Oro paid the bill, and Mo Xuan was not too embarrassed in the first two times, but he got used to it the third time. Anyway, Oro is from the Qurante family, and the money is nothing to him. And Oro was also like a fish in water in the mortal assessment of the Divine Guard Army in Austin, single-handedly and unstoppable, defeating six or seven opponents with ease one after another, and never lost. And it is said that his skills are also favored by the commander of the Austin Metropolitan Guard, and he is already a set target, and he may even directly become a commander-level figure, and he is even ready to recommend him to Hongzeladu. Thinking of this, Mo Xuan was also very happy, after all, they also came from the Pyramid of Agaro together, and they could be regarded as companions, but for him not being able to participate in the mortal assessment of the Divine Guard, Oro expressed regret more than once, and for this, Mo Xuan could only smile. However, he was also puzzled why he refused to take the mortal assessment with him at that time, and he couldn't say the reason himself.
Austin is rainy and surrounded by mountains, so it is shrouded in clouds all year round. When it rains, the streets are deserted and few pedestrians, and many scenes are closed by fog. Mo Xuan stood in front of the window, looking at the dripping street, the rain sliding down the eaves, leaving traces of existence in front of the window, and the water vapor rose from the stone-paved ground and rose along the walls of the rows of houses. The distant mountains were shrouded in clouds, and the shadows of the trees seemed to be covered in translucent frosted amber, dim mixed with the gloomy clouds, and the occasional bird passed by, and disappeared in the flutter.
What the hell are you going to do here? Why don't you take the Divine Guard Mortal Assessment with Oro?What is the connection between that Mu Qian'er and herself?Where is Rocky Inti now?And γγγγγγ How are grandpa and the girl doing now, are they okay? Thinking of this, Mo Xuan's twelve-year-old eyes showed a rare hint of amazement.
The cottage he lives in now is one of the rows of low, blue-black buildings in Austin. This hut was given to him by Mu Qian'er, as for how she got it, it is unknown, and it is probably the same as Oro's treat. The buildings in Austin seem to look like this, the walls are all unadorned blue-black, the corners are high, the rain from the gray roofs will run down the eaves, and the fog from the mountains will wrap around every corner of the city. The city is like a city surrounded by melancholy, and everyone in the city wears a mask of melancholy.
"What are you thinking?" There was a slightly immature but beautiful voice like a jade chime behind him, but there was no emotion in this voice, like a cold mutton fat jade.
Mo Xuan shook his head and didn't say anything. The girl behind him occasionally appeared quietly these days, they rarely spoke, but she could stay here for a long time, quietly like a sculpture.
"Do you believe that cities have emotions?" Mu Qian'er asked suddenly. Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, shook his head, and said; I do not know. β
Mu Qian'er came to his side and looked at the city with the rain curtain outside the window, and there seemed to be a trace of confusion in her eyes.
"I think every city has its own emotions, which is different from human emotions, which is an emotion that it has had since its existence, even if it doesn't want to. Because it's something it's born with, something symbiotic, and without it, the soul of the city is gone. β
"The city is melancholy, don't be infected by it. Mu Qian'er said softly. Mo Xuan realized that Mu Qian'er was comforting him. This girl can comfort her, but it seems a little strange to say it in that cold tone. It's just that if this girl wants to comfort someone, she must have exhausted her brains to say this. Thinking of this, Mo Xuan was suddenly a little moved, and smiled at Mu Qian'er.
"Thank you. β
Mu Qian'er shook her head and said; There's nothing to thank, it's just that your state of mind will affect the bond between us. β
"The bond between us?"
Mu Qian'er closed her beautiful eyes, whispered something in her mouth, stretched her hands forward, and suddenly a light and shadow appeared in front of her, which gradually condensed and formed. It was a slender staff, with a turquoise barrel like a finely carved green star stone. At this moment, Mo Xuan could sense the causal sigh in his vast ring trembling, as if it was a resonance with this staff.
Eternal symbol.
This name appeared in Mo Xuan's heart.
"That's what we're bound by. Mu Qian'er opened her eyes and said lightly.
"Bondγγγγγγγ God's choice?" Mo Xuan muttered.
Mu Qian'er shook her head and said; That's the bond, that's all. β
"That's it. Mo Xuan touched his head and smiled, wanting to release the cause and effect sigh in the Vast Ring, but was stopped by Mu Qian'er.
"Don't let go of your sword, you might make a big move. β
Hearing this, Mo Xuan put down his hand and smiled a little awkwardly. Mu Qian'er also seemed to sense that something was wrong with what she said, so she turned her head slightly, and then she also put away the symbol of eternity.
"The Sigh of Cause and Effect and the Symbol of Eternity are two of the strongest of the six Divine Attachments of Isis, and their release at the same time may cause a strong Imageless Qi Disorder, thus attracting other Divine Attachment holders in the city. Mu Qianer explained. It's really a little difficult for her to say so much, and she can only say it when she thinks about it.
"Other Phantom holders? Anyone else owns Phodembrium?" Mo Xuan asked, a little surprised in his heart.
Mu Qian'er nodded. "The Six Divine Apparatus of Isis are the six Divine Artifacts created by Isis using the properties of the Tree of Life, and the other four of them, except for the Sigh of Cause and Effect and the Symbol of Eternity, were lost in all corners of the Kinus after the Night of Destruction. β
"And what kind of artifact are you talking about in this city?" Mo Xuan asked.
"The other side is dying. The holder is the Compendium of Collapse. β
"Compendium of Collapse?"
Mu Qian'er replied; A branch of Isisianism, a very tricky organization. When she said this, Mu Qian'er frowned, obviously it was really troublesome.
Mo Xuan nodded. Since this is the case, then now he and Mu Qian'er can be regarded as a harmonious side, at least she is the holder of the divine equipment like herself. Although he was a little sorry that she wasn't Rocky Inti, it was generally not bad.
"So now we're partners?" Mo Xuan asked with a smile. But Mu Qian'er shook her head and said; No, we're not partners, we're just kind. β
"Huh?" Mo Xuan was stunned, not understanding what she meant. But Mu Qian'er didn't answer him, but turned around, and her little face returned to her previous indifference.
"Get ready to go, we have an action in the evening. β
"Evening? But it's noon. β
Mu Qian'er walked to the table without looking back, picked up the wine glass on the table and took a sip, her little face became a little ruddy, she didn't look back, and said lightly to Mo Xuan; I'm going to take you to meet someone now. β
"Who?"
"The leader of the three streams, Ancient Orlean. β
