Chapter 51: The Truth Under Water

After this unpleasant little episode, after crossing the narrow waterway, the two finally arrived at the destination of the trip.

It was a huge circular room, the internal space was the size of a church, nearly 100 meters high, hundreds of dark green stone pillars rose from the ground, each stone pillar was enough to be surrounded by two people, and the walls around the room were painted with ancient and exquisite words, exuding a deep cyan luster.

The black, smelly river water slowly poured into the square cisterns on both sides of the room from the holes in the wall, and under the light of the stone walls and stone pillars, it faded from its dark black appearance and turned into a strange cyan, forming two small lakes, in which many stone pillars stood tall and stood like giants with dark green skin.

The room has only one aisle, the width of three medium-sized carriages, paved with asphalt, which crosses the lake like a bridge.

A strong sense of magic comes to your face.

"Where's that artifact?" Constantine said, standing in the aisle, looking around, "I don't want to wait for another water demon to come out or something." ”

"It should be right here. Karina's face was a little pale, and after walking such a long way, she launched the Crimson Moon Blade again, which was a little unbearable even with the physique of a half-blood. "Go over and have a look. ”

At the end of the aisle was a stone pillar-shaped platform, the edge of which was carved with golden charms, and pale golden ripples were released, skimming the pale blue surface of the lake.

Constantine tried to extend his spiritual power, but unexpectedly found that those golden runes exuded some kind of supernatural power, blocking his perception.

With his current magical attainments, he was far from enough to discern the meaning of the spells on this platform.

He simply walked directly to the stone platform, put down the gray box on his back, took out the arcane wand from it, and cautiously pointed to the stone platform, without knowing the specific effect of this magic array, it is better to be careful.

To his surprise, without any hindrance, the magic wand easily touched the stone platform, and those golden ripples swept past him like waves of water, without causing any effect.

His gaze fell on the stone platform, which had a groove on its surface, but there was nothing there.

"How so?" Karena's face turned even paler, and the holy relics she had worked so hard to find were gone.

"What the hell is that?" Constantine turned.

"According to the Master, it was a key related to a magician named St. Faust. Karena's expression was a little glazed.

St. Faust, this was not the first time Constantine had come into contact with this name, in the library, in the carriage, on the entrance paper, in Heine's mouth, the name appeared, as if fate haunted his ears, and the young man's expression froze for a moment.

He calmed down and began to scrutinize what had happened.

At this moment, a golden ripple swept over the gray box beside him, and suddenly, the golden light seemed to sense something, and suddenly skyrocketed, and the energy light instantly rushed to the top of the room.

Constantine looked back, his pupils shrank, and he saw that in the box, the sky-blue crystal pendant was emitting an inexplicable halo.

Suddenly, he seemed to understand something.

"No need to hide, come out, what you are looking for is in my hands. Constantine glanced at the hall and said coldly.

"Funny little one, you really didn't disappoint me!" A grim laugh came from the surface of the lake, and waves of water erupted from the pool, outlining a figure.

A black-robed man stepped out of the water, and with each step, the lake water automatically condensed into cyan frost, paving a path carved from ice crystals, carrying his steps towards the stone platform.

To put it mildly, what an astonishing magical control it must be to condense an aisle with ice magic?

"Master?" Karena exclaimed.

The black-robed man didn't even glance at this powerful subordinate, his gaze fell first on Constantine's face, and then on the box at his feet, and the smile on his face deepened a lot, "How did you guess that I was here?"

Constantine stared at the black-robed man, dressed in a modest mage robe, with a silver ring on his right index finger.

His facial features are strange and divided, and anyone who sees them once will probably never forget it for the rest of their lives, and the left half of his face is a handsome and white face, with straight eyebrows and bright eyes. The right half of his face looked extremely ugly, wrinkled, old and thin, with pale gray eyebrows pulled and his eyes as empty as a dry well.

Noticing the young man's gaze, the black-robed mage reached out and touched the cracked right side of his face, "Strange isn't it, little one, this is the price of gaining power, just as you chose to become the blood-stained bounty hunter Morningstar for revenge." ”

"You seem to know me well. Constantine said coldly.

"I know your mother, child, better. The black-robed man, who couldn't tell his real age, smiled lowly.

An inexplicable flame erupted in Constantine's eyes, "Tell me everything you know." ”

"It's not a good habit to reach out to your elders and ask for something, kid. The black-robed man's eyes were full of oppression, "At least you'll have to give me the thing in your box first." ”

"I refuse. Constantine's tone was still cold.

"Why?"

Constantine licked his dry lips, "First of all, to answer the question you just asked, in fact, I should have thought that since you know this place yourself, why did I and the Red Moon come to find it instead of you yourself?"

"Now it seems that it is actually very simple, that is, you have already been here, but you found that there is nothing you are looking for, so you asked Hongyue to bring me here. ”

As soon as Constantine stretched out his hand, the [Mage's Hand] grabbed the crystal pendant and put it in his palm, "And you asked [Red Moon] to bring me here because you are sure that such a thing is likely to be in my hand." This means that you know that this so-called key has a lot to do with me, and that it is not your own, am I right?

Bang Bang, the sect leader applauded, "Wonderful reasoning, dealing with smart people can really save a lot of effort. You're right, this thing originally belonged to your mother, but then he was hidden in this place by a person I know with a magic circle, and I came this time for this pendant. ”

"Since I know that it is my mother's stuff back then, there is no reason to hand it over to you. Constantine calmed down and tightened his grip on the crystal pendant.

"Boy, don't push me to do it. The black-robed man's eyes became deep and cold. "Here, even if I kill you, no one will know. ”

"Master, what the hell is going on?" Karena looked shocked.

"Oh, I forgot, there's my lovely third Miss Red Moon here. The black-robed man turned his face, "This kid is not very obedient, but after all, he is the son of an old man, I can't bear to do it myself, so it's up to you to deal with him." ”

Karena opened her mouth, but finally turned into a helpless wry smile, and said, "Unfortunately, Master Sect, this is not my principle, I don't want to kill its owner for something that does not belong to the Order, Your Excellency Morning Star has done nothing wrong. ”

"Have you forgotten, Karena, who helped you when you were in exile, ostracized and looked down upon?who saved you from the Night's Watch?who forged you the magic weapon in your hand?" said the black-robed man indifferently, "In return, you swore to give all your power to the Order, have you forgotten?"

Karena clenched her fists, "Indeed, Master, I swear to give everything I have for the Order because it is here that I find the feeling of being recognized and accepted, and I find my kind, the poor ones who have lost their homes just like me. ”

"But Constantine was also a man who had lost his home, and this was his own, and he had the freedom to use this power. Karena took a deep breath, "If we kill him for this reason, what is the difference between us and the executioners in the Inquisition who define us as heretics at will and then go after them?"

The Sect Master shook his head and said slowly, "In that case, Karena, we have nothing more to say, in the name of Lucifer's Sect Master, I announce that you will be expelled from the Order, and you will be executed here!"

A beam of black energy silently swam out of the black-robed mage's palm, shooting towards the red moon that was stunned in place by the news like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

【Death Coil】

Constantine drew his sword from its sheath, and the crystal sword slashed out, cutting off the magic that was filled with the breath of death.

"A legendary-level long sword, kind of interesting. The black-robed man turned his head to look at Constantine, and looked at the sword in the young man's hand thoughtfully.

"I don't even care about my own subordinates, it seems that it is the right decision not to hand over such a thing to you. Constantine glanced at Karina, "Your Excellency Red Moon, you should get out of here first, I want to catch up with this mother's old acquaintance." ”

Karenna glanced at Constantine with a complicated expression, as a member of the Order, she really couldn't make a move against the Sect Master. She also wanted to remind the young man how terrifying the power of the sect leader was, but when the words came to her mouth, she swallowed it again, because the battle intent in Constantine's eyes was unprecedentedly strong.

She sighed softly, turned around, and slowly left the battlefield that had nothing to do with her.

The black-robed man snorted coldly, "Looks like you're determined to go against me, kid. ”

"Needless to say, it's so high-sounding, I guess you have no intention of letting me leave alive. Constantine put the pendant away and grabbed his wand, "I'll beat you and let you tell you what it was back then." ”

"Young man, arrogance that doesn't match your strength will kill you. The right side of the sect leader's withered face showed a violent smile, but the smile on the left side of his face was very gentle, as if he was pitying the ignorance of the junior, and this extremely contradictory feeling completely merged with his divided face.

"Of course, you're right, if I let you go, that Innocent guy won't let me go when he finds out, and unfortunately, I can only let you sleep here. The black-robed man shrugged. "The thing you have in your hand can only belong to me. ”

Constantine tensed his body, facing one of the top bounty hunters in the continent, but the sect leader did not release any killing intent, and still stood in place with a calm demeanor.

You must know that the distance between him and Constantine is only about ten meters, and at this distance, even if it is a crown-level archmage, Constantine is sure to kill.

But the black-robed man was not nervous, he stared at Constantine leisurely, and his two pupils of different colors did not reveal any murderous intent, as if he was looking at a dying ant.

Just as the atmosphere became more and more solidified, Constantine moved first, his feet lightly stepped on the ground, and his figure rushed towards the black-robed mage, and the morning light outlined a brilliant streamer behind him, and then slashed down fiercely.

A crystal light condensed on the blade, illuminating the face of the black-robed mage who was close at hand, and the crystal-like brilliance made the strange and distorted face appear in detail.

This sword is Constantine's strongest sword, as fast as the north wind, as fast as lightning, and with the crystallization power of the morning light, if there is no accident, the opponent in front of him will be caught off guard.

However, a palm with a black ** power aura was raised, holding the sword blade of the morning light, and the crystal magic light, like clear water falling into the mire, quickly dissolved without splashing a little fluctuation.

Seeing this scene, even Constantine could not keep calm, and in his impression, the morning light, which could cut everything and treat everything as nothing, was actually held by an ordinary hand at this moment.

"With the dual attributes of extreme sharpness and crystalline matter, it is worthy of a legendary-level long sword, and it is worth seeing. The black-robed man carefully looked at the crystal sword in his palm, ignoring the young man's gently trembling body, and commented very carefully.

This long sword, which had harvested the lives of hundreds of dragon lancers, was now in his hand, as ridiculous as a toy.
