Chapter 28: Dawn (6)

The huge World Tree pattern stretched out in mid-air countless lifelike "branches", and those "branches" were composed of bright magical light, exuding an unusually powerful aura.

When the "canopy" formed by the light was also formed, the brightness of the entire circle suddenly more than doubled, and the aqua blue light gushed out like a spring, spreading to the surroundings.

From the light, a large door slowly rose.

"I haven't seen [Gate of Trials] for many years!"

Watching this scene, Salin said with emotion, the past of his youth came to the heart of the half-elf who has now become the high priest of the royal court.

A hint of nostalgia flashed in Agnes' eyes, as if she felt her mood swings, and the freezing wind that had been surrounding the Frozen Empress softened a little.

Joey only sighed deeply, since he met Constantine, this action had happened much more often than before.

From a personal point of view, the old arcanist did not want to see Constantine enter the City of Daybreak, knowing full well that the boy who had inherited Faust's legacy would face many dangers once he entered that place, just like his mother.

But, intellectually, he also understood that this was the only place Constantine was going now.

Ola stared at the magnificent World Tree marker on the gate, a flash of confusion in her eyes, as if she had fallen into some kind of deep thought.

"Thank you three old friends for your assistance. After performing the ancient ritual, Laplace wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and a smile appeared on his face.

"The successful opening of the Trials Gate means that the Guardians have approved our request. Agnes glanced faintly at Constantine and the others who came from not far away, "Now, it's up to these little guys to have their own chances." ”

Constantine looked curiously at the [Trial Gate] above the magic circle, and the crown mage's intuition told him that this door was not the same as the normal teleportation magic circle.

And the power of [Odin] further confirmed his idea.

The data and lines fed back from his eyes showed that a large number of space spell modules were encapsulated inside this portal, and the design and structure were so exquisite that they far exceeded the current level of space arcane development in the continent.

There are even traces left by astrology on the door, and with Constantine's current spiritual power, he can't even decipher the entire structure of this door, and can only measure the tip of the iceberg.

This is the magic technology that Daybreak has mastered?

Constantine couldn't help but be more curious about that famous magical holy place.

"Little ones, it's time to go. Laplace's gentle voice rang in the ears of the four young men with shocked faces.

Laplace then cleared his throat, "All four of you have been approved by Daybreaker, but I'll tell you some of the necessary rules before I congratulate you. ”

"Once you step through this door, it means that your souls will automatically bear the mark of the Daybreak Oath and will not be able to break it for the rest of their lives, even for them. ”

Laplace pointed at Agnes and the others with a solemn and serious expression, "In any corner of the world, the power of the oath cannot be violated, unless you can hide in the Great Temple of Radiance or the Heavenly Canopy Dragon Temple, otherwise, even if you become a legendary powerhouse beyond the Holy Realm in the future, you will not be able to escape the end of soul destruction." ”

"Rest assured, Your Excellency Laplace, there are countless beauties and wines waiting for me to enjoy before I become a legend, and Uncle Ben will not die so easily. Siegfried said with a big grin.

Agnes frowned at his frivolous appearance, and her face was extremely displeased.

"Also, you should keep in mind that the [Trial Gate] is specially designed by the guardians of the Council to select trialists, and will assign trialists to a suitable environment for special training according to each person's growth experience, strength attributes and even personality traits, which is the first step in the trial. ”

Roland was stunned for a moment, "In other words, the four of us may go to different places?"

"Yes. Laplace nodded, "This distribution result comes from the judgment made by high-level astrology on the fate trajectory of each of you, the specific implementation principle is very complicated, it will take more than twenty years to just tell it all, you don't need to understand it now, you just need to know." ”

All four people present nodded.

"When you're ready, come with me. Laplace said.

Joey patted Constantine on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Little guy, after entering the trial of the Dawn City, unless you are in a place like the Void Desperate Realm, don't use your star field lightly, in that case, it will attract the attention of many old guys." ”

Constantine nodded, he knew very well the truth that he was innocent since he was a child, and he would not easily use the Azure Star Domain if it was absolutely necessary.

What's more, the last memory that Flender left him seems to show that Faust's fall back then seems to be inseparable from the high-level of the World Tree Council.

"Master Joey, what is the Void Desperate Realm?" Constantine suddenly asked curiously.

"You'll know when you enter the City of Dawn, but let me warn you in advance, that is not a place where people can stay at all, and without the strength of the Holy Realm, entering that area is no different from looking for death. ”

Joey narrowed his eyes and said, "More than half of my peers who entered the council with me died in the Void Desperate Realm, and if it wasn't for your mother's action, Innocent's and I'd have to be accounted for in that place." ”

Hearing the word Void Despair, Salin and Agnes glanced at each other. Obviously, the almost catastrophic battle that happened in the depths of the desperate situation back then made the two of them still have lingering palpitations.

"In short, everything is premised on saving lives. ”

Joey said. "The city of Dawn is full of power, and a magister like me and Agnes is not a big figure in the council, and you must be careful in what you say and do under any circumstances, these are the words that Innocent brought to you. ”

Constantine nodded solemnly, taking the instructions of the two elders to heart.

Constantine bowed to Joey, "Rest assured, neither Euler nor I will disappoint you or His Majesty the Pope." ”

"Innocent and I both owe your mother's life, so watching you live is the greatest reward for us old fellows. ”

Old Joey smiled with relief, "So, goodbye, little one, when you come out of the City of Dawn, you must be a great arcanist, ha, but unfortunately my old man is not destined to see that day." ”

At this point, the face of this world-famous but incomparably talkative arcane master finally revealed the vicissitudes of life carved by the years.

He's really old.

Constantine's heart ached, and he could already see that Joey's vitality was passing uncontrollably and slowly, and there was not much left.

Spanning more than half a century and experiencing countless lives and deaths with countless relatives and friends, this remnant of the Holy Empire Magus has finally come to the end of his life.

Maybe it won't be long before the top ten demon masters in the mainland will have one less name.

"Take care, Master. Constantine said softly, bowing his last life to the elder, and then resolutely turned around and stepped into the [Gate of Trials] magic array.

Following in Constantine's footsteps, Euler, Siegfried, and Roland each entered the door to the new world with a mixture of strangeness, excitement, curiosity, and a little uneasiness.

The light emitted by the World Tree sigil illuminated the faces of the four young trialists and engulfed their figures.

When the story of the older generation is over, the journey of the new generation is about to begin.

"It's time to say goodbye, my old friends. Laplace beckoned to each of the three archmages in the room, and followed the four young men into the trial gate.

When the old astrologer stepped into the door of trial, the whole earth seemed to tremble.

A dazzling beam of light shot out of the magic array like a sharp sword, breaking through layers of white clouds and snow peaks, and coming to the sky at dawn.

Brilliant streams of light spread out in the blue sky, surging like the tide of the sea and surging in all directions, skimming over frozen lakes, silent forests, towering peaks, and awakening the sleeping Asgard Mountains in the early morning.

Countless demonic beasts awoke from their slumber and gazed at the beam of light that was shooting into the sky with awe and unease.

On the flat ground, the figures of the four young men and Laplace disappeared together with the traces of the magic array, like water without a trace.

The three archmages stood at the foot of the mountain, looking up at the new generation of trialists as their elders had done for them so many years ago.

"I think some of them, we'll probably never see again. Salin sighed softly, his voice tinged with melancholy. "I don't know where they will go in the future, is it really possible to reach the legendary World Tree?"

Agnes caressed the ice wind flying in the air and said softly, "In any case, the four of them are very good young people, and I think that in the future, they will definitely become even stronger than us in this generation." ”

After saying that, she glanced at Joey beside her, "At least it will definitely be much stronger than this chatterbox." ”

This time, Joey didn't get angry, but said lightly, "Isn't this the meaning of the existence of Daybreak City?"

"We are all old, and this era will be handed over to the young people. ”

Old Joey looked at the moving morning light in the distance, "I suddenly remembered again, the sunset we saw on the top of the Dawn City back then was really beautiful, why don't we leave today, and see it again later?"

Hearing this, Agnes and Saleen were stunned.

Agnes looked at Joey's old cheeks, which had been as cold as an iceberg all year round, and she gently took the old man's hand and said in a voice that had never been more gentle than ever, "Okay, let's see together." ”

Salin smiled, "Very nice offer, add me one." ”

Seconds later, the three archmaguses stood at the top of the main peak of the Asgardian Mountains at the same time.

At the peak of the world, three old men sat quietly, facing the mighty peak, staring at the rising sun, watching its birth and passing.

If Constantine had been here, he would have been surprised to find that the postures of the three magisters were exactly the same as those depicted in the Pope's collection in the Temple of Radiance.

The only difference is that this time, Joey is holding Agnes' hand.

Time passed minute by minute, the light of the morning sun gradually dimmed, and after burning out the passion of the day, it fell towards the distant horizon and turned into a magnificent sunset red in the field of vision....

Looking at the gradually sinking sunset, Old Joy flashed countless times in his youth, "Actually, back then, I always wanted to hold your hand, but you always didn't give me a chance. ”

"Well, I've always known that too. ”

Agnes's voice was softer and softer than the leaves at this time, "But Laplace told me that the two of us will eventually go down different paths, and we are destined to become enemies in the future, so ...... I chose to refuse. ”

"If we become enemies, I think, you will forget about me, and when you meet on the battlefield, you can kill me without regret. Agnes whispered, a deep frustration and sadness flashing across the corners of her eyes.

"Fate..."

Joey sighed deeply, staring at the sunset, remembering the painting Innocent had shown him, and suddenly laughed, "But you see, this damn fate has changed, hasn't it?"

In the twilight, Joey smiled unexpectedly, like the young arcanist who first stepped into the City of Daybreak, "I have a word that I have always wanted to say to you and to this doggy world. ”

"You're so fucking good-looking. Gazing at the peaceful and beautiful sunset, holding Agnes' hand, the old man spat out heavily.

After saying this, Joey let out a satisfied sigh and slowly closed his eyes.

Never opened again.
