Chapter 162: The Oath of Dawn (I)
This is a cliff near the sea.
The sea breeze from the distant stormy ocean, after crossing the sea surface for thousands of miles, became extremely docile, gently blowing over the cliffs that had been slapped by the white foaming sea water for thousands of years, like a woman's slender jade fingers caressing the cheeks of her lover's vicissitudes of life.
A man in a black robe, who looked to be in his fifties, had a clear face and a tuft of hair as white as fresh snow.
He sat on a large rock at the top of the cliff, holding a branch in his fingers, and his expression was very focused, copying something on the sand, which seemed to be the image of a woman.
Under that rough and hard branch, a portrait that would amaze all the top painters on the mainland was revealed on the sand, with thin lines outlining the woman's beautiful side face, long hair fluttering, and a picturesque back, every line was so smooth and realistic, as if carved by the hand of the gods.
"After all these years, I can't remember what you looked like. The man muttered to himself, "Since a long time ago, I have been unable to distinguish between you and her, who is the one in my mind." ”
The branches continued to wander in the empty space of the sand, and soon a new portrait took shape in the blank space, this time with a much clearer outline, and it was the same woman, revealing a beautiful and incoherent face, with a little indifference between her eyebrows.
The middle-aged man stared at the two paintings quietly, his gaze not shifting in the slightest, as if he only needed to look at them for a while, and the two people on the paintings would come back to life.
The middle-aged man continued to mumble to himself at the newly appeared portrait, telling the past, "Your son, I took care of him for a few years and taught him something, that little guy is a little similar to you, he is very stubborn in his bones, and he will never admit defeat, although he seems to be far inferior to you now." ”
"That kid Siegfried always likes to be lazy in different ways, but he doesn't, he always meticulously practices every sword technique and posture I teach him, to delve into all kinds of boring alchemy knowledge, and when he learns these things, that clumsy look is really touching. ”
"He is more of a pure human being than you, a race that is short-lived, but always has unexpected possibilities, unlike you and me. ”
"He entered the Hunters' Guild, and he also went to the magic academy where you stayed back then, and he seems to be busy with some martial arts conference recently. ”
"I think he's going to grow up to be a great man soon, and he's not bad like his father, though I don't know what your attitude has always been towards this child's father. ”
"Of course, you can't see what I'm talking about. ”
A sea breeze blows, the sand disperses, and the two portraits blur as if they were distant and inreal memories.
"That kid has now entered the Great Temple of Radiance. The old man's voice sounded behind the middle-aged man,
The rustling sound echoed on the cliff, Laplace stepped on the fine sand on the stone wall and walked slowly, the silver robe fluttered in the salty and fishy sea breeze, and the old man's eyes were as deep and calm as ever.
"In that case, then what I promised you is done. The middle-aged man didn't look back, "I also handed over [Dawn] to him, and as for whether he can go to the City of Dawn in the future, it's not my business." ”
Laplace walked to the edge of the cliff, "Innocent is a friend of the child's mother, and you have seen it back then, and he will not be bad for Constantine, so you can rest assured. ”
"You know, if I had a choice, I would never trust people in the church. The middle-aged man said indifferently. "For your sake, make an exception this time. ”
"Only in the Great Temple of Radiance is the Oath of Daybreak not binding enough for Innocent to tell the child everything without hesitation. "Otherwise, no one can afford to break their oath." ”
"Would those mages in the World Tree Council want to see him coming?" the middle-aged man asked.
Laplace said calmly, "If those old friends try to resist the power of fate, one day, they will regret their choice." ”
"If nothing happens to me, I'll go first. The middle-aged man stood up, his black clothes hunting in the sea breeze, "My time is short, and this continent has already made me feel bored, I want to go back to the wild continent to have a look, and by the way, pick a better cemetery." ”
"What about Siegfried? don't you take him with you?" Laplace furrowed, "besides, he's a descendant of that man." ”
"Siegfried, like his ancestors, is fierce and warlike, as if a dragon lurks in his heart, and the blood of battle is always burning in his body. ”
The middle-aged man smiled, "Such a person, staying with an old monster like me who is rotten and dying will only be a waste, just give him the freedom to soar, one day, he will make the entire continent tremble." ”
"It's also a good choice to go back to the Savage Continent. Laplace leaned on his staff and muttered for a moment, "Except that I should warn you to be careful of those guys in the Sky Canopy Dragon Temple, they have been getting more and more active lately, and I feel a little uneasy. ”
"Don't worry, although I'm old, as long as I want to go, no one in this world can leave me. The middle-aged man waved his hand. "Not even the guy who landed in Winterfell ten years ago. ”
"Then I will not bother you any more, dear Prince Draenor, may the moon god bless you and have eternal peace in the night. Laplace bowed slightly in the direction where the man was standing, expressing his inner respect to the departing senior, and then took a few steps back, and his body disappeared into the white light.
The expression of the epic hero who was called out of his true name remained unchanged, facing the sea, and the sea breeze curled his long flowing snow-white hair, like a blooming lotus flower on a cliff.
......
The center of the temple.
The image projected above the star dome suddenly switched, and the picture came to the sky above a vast mountain range.
On the highest main peak of the mountain range, an endless sea of clouds surrounds the whole year, like a fairyland, and a waterfall cascades down from the peak.
Beneath the mountain range are verdant plains and dense mountain forests that stretch far into the distance.
The sea of clouds gradually dissipated, revealing a magnificent scenery that made the boy's eyes widen, and his mouth opened wide like a child who had seen a fairy tale kingdom.
Several islands of various sizes float near and surround the main peak, and various tall buildings rise on the islands.
On the main peak above 10,000 meters, there is a huge tower that reaches into the sky, and dazzling magical brilliance emits from the giant tower, transforming into brilliant magic runes that slowly rotate around the tower
It's a miracle.
"This is the City of Dawn. "The first time I stood on that mountain, I felt like I had come to heaven. ”
