Chapter 92: Goodbye
Surprises are always ...... Ensued.
This is the idea that Amy naturally came to when she bumped into the teenager in front of her on her way to the Wall of Sighs.
"What are you going to do," the Gloryer's gaze paused slightly over the uninvited guest, and there was not much emotion in the dark pupils, but he said his name in a calm, even cold, voice, "Dick. ”
"There's no need to be so detached," the Apostle of the Dice House shook his head, "Anyway, we worked together once, and although something less pleasant happened in between, it didn't hurt the bigger picture—didn't it?"
"Perhaps," Amy said casually, not wanting to waste his time on meaningless conversations, and simply and directly picking out the subject, "Tell me, what is the matter with you coming to me." ”
"It's not a big deal. The beautiful boy smiled, even with the sun shining a little brighter, "I just wanted to invite you—"
Deliberate pause.
"Save the world. ”
"Save the world?" the Glory-Honoring One raised an eyebrow, and although Dick's statement coincided with his current actions, he still didn't intend to be led by the nose, "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in becoming a savior—besides, I have more important things to do right now." ”
"For example?"
"No comment. Amy ended the conversation roughly, and then took a step.
"If you're not mistaken, you're heading to the Upper Floor. However, the apostle of the dice house did not intend to give up, and directly blocked the way of the two, even in the face of Mia's fierce silver-white sword, he did not take a step back, "But now that the road leading to the upper area has been locked, even if you can really put on your wings, maybe you can find some secret passage, and if you want to cross the wall of sighs, you will have to pay a lot of price." ”
"Get out of the way. The Glory One didn't reply, and the sword-wielder began the countdown in a cold tone, "Three-"
"Wait!" Dick hurriedly explained when the number of "two" rang out, "I know where you can bypass the Wall of Sighs and go straight to the upper level. ”
"One!"
At this time, the countdown came to an abrupt end, and the cross-sword fell mercilessly.
Then, slashed into the air.
"Hey, hey—" The Apostle of the Dice House looked apprehensive, "You're really good at it, don't you know that this is a way to bypass the Wall of Sighs and get to the upper level?"
"Mia, go. ”
Admittedly, Amy was interested in a way to get around the Wall of Sighs to the upper floors, but if he became a high-level thug in the Dice House like he did last time, then he would be thankful, not to mention that he was not without other options now, relying on the Shortsword Dark Blood, he was able to carve out a path - although it was time-consuming and labor-intensive, it was better than being someone else's puppet.
"It seems that you won't listen to me well without some heavy news about losing money," the beautiful young man who was left to the side sighed and stroked his slightly messy golden hair, "Amy Ulysses, do you think that the price you have to pay for using a quenching weapon is only the blood of Ulysses? ”
"Essence?" the girl stopped.
"Leave him alone," the Gloryer shook his head, he really didn't feel anything special, the only sacrifice to be made was the blood of Ulysses in his body, "it's just nonsense." ”
"There is a price to be paid for the use of power. Dick's voice gradually calmed down, "What gave you the illusion that the price you had to pay to harness the blade of your ancestors to cut through the darkness and chaos was just a little, insignificant amount of blood?"
Amy's steps faltered slightly.
"As I said, what you need to pay is your essence. The apostle of the dice house paused, and his emerald eyes reflected the figure of the young man, "Blood is the currency of life, this is not the essence of abstract meaning, to describe it in more popular language, it is inherited by the Glory, the blood of the ancestors - every time you use the mythical power that even the ancient kings cannot understand and understand, the essence of order in your body will be weakened, and in the end, you may even fall from the rank of the Glory, and truly become an ordinary person." ”
The black-haired and black-eyed boy finally stopped his steps.
"If it's just alarmism, then you don't have to. The eldest son of the Ulysses family turned back to meet his emerald green eyes, "I won't believe every word you say until I see evidence that really moves me." ”
"To be clear, I don't have the skills to find a ready-made example," Dick shook his head, "but if it's relevant information, I know where it's available." ”
"Where. Amy asked, even though he knew it might be a dice house trap, he couldn't remain indifferent.
"In your memory," the beautiful young man with blond hair and blue eyes stretched out his hand and nodded his head, "when passing on to you the quenching weapon that cut through the darkness of the ancestors, the elders of your family should have explained to you, unless it is a matter of life and death, it must not break the seal imposed on it by time." ”
The Glory One did not speak.
Indeed, to this day he remembers the solemn look on his father's face when he gave him the dark blood.
And...... The harsh constraints that are almost incomprehensible.
Absolutely—absolutely—must not covet a transcendent power that mortals should not understand, let alone use.
"Okay," Amy looked up after about twenty breaths, her dark eyes dark, "I don't know how you know the secrets of the Glory, but you convinced me. ”
"So happy to cooperate?" Dick smiled and stretched out his hand, but the Glory One did not accept it, just looked at him with a cold face, and said simply and directly: "The most basic point of reaching a deal is integrity and fairness, I don't expect too much from you about integrity, but at the very least, you should tell us what we need to do, what risks we need to face, and how to ensure that you, or the dice house will not cross the river and tear down the bridge." ”
"Save—"
"Don't tell me to save the world, I don't believe in your dice house sentiments, and I don't believe that what happens in the lower suburbs is connected to the end of the world. The black-haired, dark-eyed boy interrupted the words that the Apostle of the Dice House was about to speak, "So, don't be perfunctory to me. ”
"Okay, okay, I'm throwing in the towel, I'm really a serious person. The beautiful blond boy raised his hands, "As for what I need you to do, it's actually very simple, and that's ...... Enter Obadia's interior and kill Ignati. ”
"Ignati?" the Glorious One was slightly stunned, and then reacted, "You have to attack the Traveler!"
"The identity of the traveler is not a talisman," Dick spread his hands, "his spiritual will has been irreversibly distorted and polluted in the depths of the deepest night, and although he still holds high ideals, the means of achieving them have been quite subtly distorted, and not only does he not intend to awaken the primordial fire of Prometheus in the lost royal city, but even he intends to establish a false world in which order and chaos coexist peacefully. ”
The apostle of the dice house was full of mockery in his emerald green eyes.
And the lower area is the testing ground he chose. ”
"Okay, I got it. After a brief pause, Amy made a choice, "So, how do we get to Obadiah?" ”
"To Obadiah?" Dick shook his head, "you don't know what it is, it's a strange way to live in a dimensional crevice that humans can't observe, and you can't do it if you can't get it by physical means alone, let alone enter Obadiah's body, or even find it." ”
"Strangeness in the depths of the night?" "The Glorious is not ignorant of strangeness, it is a long-standing name for what exists in the world and is incomprehensible to humans.
"That's right, Ignati conquered this strange and thus gained the right to harness it, and through this monster that lives in the cracks of the dimension, the House of the Lost is free to teleport in the lower realms and throughout Hemtika. The beautiful boy in the dice house sighed, "Speaking of which, many people may not believe it, but the house of the lost with Obadiah and Ignati is actually the strongest of the three cornerstones, but Ignati has been focused on his plan and has been dormant in the shadow of Michelangelo for a long time, which gives people the illusion of the supremacy of the 'emperor'." ”
"Get to the point. Amy frowned, "What the hell does Ignati want to do?"
"He wants to open the boundaries between the lower and the foggy areas, and build a world where humans and demons live in harmony. Dick scoffed, "Of course this is a dream, and anyone with a brain will know what a terrible impact this can have on the already fragile human society, and if it is not handled properly, perhaps Hemtika will lose the last barrier of the lower sector after losing the arch guard of the Misty Zone." ”
"There's no way to sit idly by. The sword-wielder expressed his opinion.
"But how do we get to Obadia. "The Glory has no intention of vetoing, whether this is a lie woven by the dice house or not, after meeting with Ignati the Dark Traveler, nothing will be a problem, "If everything is as you say, then we will never have a chance to make contact with Ignati, let alone kill him." ”
"Don't worry about this," since the dice house dared to attack the house of the lost, it was naturally not unprepared, "Obadiah is not omnipotently sacred, and the secret of its ability to transfer the members of the house of the lost anytime and anywhere is here. ”
The beautiful blond-haired boy spread out his hand and showed a small, transparent, inconspicuous orb in his hand to the Glory One and the Sword Wielder, and explained, "Through our research, it was determined that this was a part of Obadiah's body, through which Obadiah was able to determine the coordinates of the object to be transferred, so as to achieve teleportation. ”
"There's a problem," interrupted Amy, who reached out and picked up the orb, looked at it carefully before his eyes, and then asked a question, "Obadiah, the monster you are talking about is a living creature." ”
"That's right. A simple and clear answer.
"So how can you be sure that we won't be judged as an enemy by it and thrown into the cracks of the dimension like garbage in the process of using it for transfer?" the Gloryer got to the heart of the matter, "Frankly, I'm not going to take the risk. ”
"There is no risk. Dick said, "What is formed through the offspring is a link, a channel, and there is no need for authentication, and the nature of Obadiah determines that it cannot effectively distinguish the impurities that enter its body in the process of transmission. ”
"So," he paused, "that's all we're going to do. ”
Then crush the balls.
The next moment, orange-red flames rose from the void.
"Don't resist. ”
After saying this, the apostle of the dice house disappeared into the flames.
He was followed by the sword-wielding.
Eventually, when Amy gave up her resistance, her consciousness was engulfed in a warm flame.
