Chapter 355: The Lost Artifact
Arthur, who was seriously injured and unconscious, returned to Atlanta with Violet's efforts, although the injury is now temporarily controlled, but there is no way to repair it, Valentine went to the temple for 7 days of prayer, hoping to restore the inheritance of the clan, if Arthur does not appear, the crisis of the sea monster and Atlanta needs her to resist.
Arthur would wake up from time to time now, but he no longer had the strength to speak due to the burden on his body.
One night, about three days after the sea monster was destroyed, Arthur was asleep when he suddenly felt a sense of unease in his heart, and he opened his eyes and saw a woman. The woman seemed to be shrouded in mist, and her face was not visible at all.
Arthur still had a scorching fire poison in his body, but as soon as this woman appeared, the temperature seemed to drop a lot, and Arthur opened his mouth weakly. "Who the hell are you?"
The magic circle leading to the outside world is closed, but the Ice Witch has arrived in Atlanta from nowhere.
"It doesn't matter who I am. The woman spoke. "What do I need?"
Her voice was still so cold and indifferent that Arthur couldn't find the hole in her words and even the slightest weakness in her. This is a terrible woman, so powerful that people can't detect her strength, and Arthur knows that he is not in her eyes at all.
"Are you going to kill me?" said Arthur with a laugh. "Isn't the Trident in the Temple?"
The woman shook her head slightly, anticipating Arthur's answer. "That's a fake, and while it's also an artifact, it's not what I want. ”
"If you don't say it, I'll take it myself. But I'll take your life too. ”
She stretched out a finger, the movement seemed so casual, the finger glittered in the moonlight, the icy cold air filled the space of the four fields, Arthur coughed weakly twice.
Violet has been taking care of her for the past few days, and now she has to go to rest, and there are two people stationed outside Arthur's room, but since the Ice Witch has appeared, the two people outside must be more than lucky.
"Don't kill him, I'll go with you. "The spirit of the Poseidon Trident flew out of Arthur's spatial ring.
The witch grabbed the Poseidon Trident and looked at Arthur before leaving. "Lord Earl, although you have the qualifications for the crown, the people in this world are much stronger than you imagined, and there are even many strong people who have never made a move. ”
Arthur glanced at the Poseidon Trident and took a deep breath, now he is just a waste, it is better to be calm than angry, it is always ten years before a gentleman takes revenge.
"Can I ask you a question? How did you know so many secret !! in Atlanta?"
The witch had her back to Arthur. Arthur couldn't make out her expression at all. "It's very simple, there is no secret if you live long enough, I will disappear for a while, Count Arthur kindly reminds you, hurry back to Falin, you don't have much time. ”
"Your seal will be lifted tomorrow. With that, she vanished.
On a bright afternoon, Violet came to see Arthur. "Arthur, why are you up? ”
Arthur sat on the edge of the bed and looked out at the turquoise waters in silence, and he looked back at Violet and said. "Let that woman of Valentine come back, my seal has been lifted. ”
"It's... Valentin hasn't yet..."
Arthur shook his head. "Perhaps, everything is far from what it seems. He looked down at his hand, the power of the snow and the wind merging, and it was unknown how long it would take.
"I'm leaving, thank you for taking care of me. ”
Violet nodded slightly, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so soon.
The wind gently ruffled Arthur's hair, and the power of the scabbard had restored all his injuries. The white dragon has also been tormented in Arthur's mind for the past few days, and is now dormant.
"Violet, the Poseidon Trident was lost and snatched yesterday by a powerful witch. I was going to use it up and give it back to you, but... I'm sorry..."
Violet looked at Arthur. "Sure enough, you're the one who can pick it up. ”..
"I have a very special ability that allows me to communicate a lot. ”
Violet looked outside. "The one in the temple is another artifact, right?"
"The chant of the god of water, I will keep it, and I will find the Trident of the god of the sea and return it to you sooner or later. Arthur responded. "I promise. ”
Violet shook her head slowly. "Actually, the whole of Atlanta should have been destroyed a long time ago, maybe that's fate. You don't need to give it back to me, you can pick it up and it's yours, that's our rule, we don't have anyone here to use it, I think it must be very sad. ”
Arthur stood up and stood in front of Violet, and the two looked at each other. "The witch who snatched the Poseidon Trident may have something to do with Atlanta. ”
Violet lowered her head, and she was silent for a long time before speaking.
"It doesn't matter if it has a relationship, that's someone else's right, it's too monotonous and boring here, it's beautiful, but it's empty, we can see the sea from here, but it's a cage here. ”
"The fish are more like admiring the birds in a cage, we have no wings, and we can't fly. ”
"Arthur, promise me, forget here, forget everything. You didn't come, and you didn't kill the water monster, so it's a good result for you and for me and for everyone. ”
"Since the Poseidon Trident has been lost, it is no longer ours, and it should have been free a long time ago. ”
Arthur looked at the woman in his eyes, closed his eyes slightly, and his nose was full of a faint fragrance of flowers, only this moment of tranquility could wash away the gloom and anger in his heart.
Maybe Violet is right, Atlanta doesn't exist in the first place, she hasn't been here, let alone seen it, so it's the best protection for them, in case this place is exposed, all the inheritance and the secrets left behind will be known to everyone, and then everything will go to ruin, and Violet and the women here will end their peaceful life.
Arthur chose a beautiful ordinary ring from the space ring, took Violet's hand, and brought it to her.
"Just make a promise, I'll be back. Arthur said with a smile. "I don't want to give up because you're too dazzling and too glamorous. ”
Violet looked at the ring in her hand, and a few tears welled up in the corners of her eyes. "Is that how you trick all women into liking you?"
Arthur said with a smile. "You can really do whatever you want if you're handsome, at least I really like you, and thank you for taking care of you these days, I'm leaving, this time it's real. ”
"Before leaving, may you kiss my dear princess?" said Arthur, half-jokingly.
Violet looked down in confusion, and Arthur stepped forward and kissed her lightly on the forehead. "Goodbye, my dear princess, be careful in everything after I leave, although I know that you are powerful, but the future is not clear to anyone. ”
"Be careful. !!!”
