Chapter 53: Falling into the Abyss
That sword didn't hit Magellan. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Magellan's life was saved by a stone slab that flipped and fell in the air, and the stone slab was smashed by a sword not far in front of him, and the rubble flew and smashed Magellan's cheeks painfully.
Aside from the elf's sudden attack, this was the first time Magellan had seen a knight really miss, but he felt even more dangerous. This knight is a person who will do his best to achieve his goal when life and death are unpredictable when he falls into the abyss.
"That's why I hate fanatics......"
Magellan adjusted his stance in the air, ready to throw out the fairy rope. The countess seemed to have fallen before him, and now that she was nowhere to be seen, he was left on his own.
But Magellan did not wait for the opportunity. Perhaps he was unlucky, there were rocks around him all the time, and Magellan could hear the sound of stones falling to the ground and falling into the water below, but he still didn't wait for a place where the rope could be fixed.
In desperation, he assumed a standard diving position, thinking that if there was a rock below him, the head-down scene must be brightly colored.
Then he fell into the water.
The water from the ground was cold and biting, and a stone fell on Magellan's leg, and he couldn't cry out.
There were still large and small stones falling on it, and Magellan panicked, holding his breath and diving into the depths.
I don't know how long it took, but Magellan felt that he couldn't hold on anymore and began to swim towards the water.
He surfaced and lit a lamp in the darkness.
In the faint light, Magellan saw this space deep underground, surrounded by upright stone walls, with no way out.
He smiled, a little emotional, a little helpless.
The scene in the dream finally came true, the way out was underwater, and he was afraid that he would really experience the feeling of being drowned in the dream for a while.
With his upper body out of the water, Magellan thought about it carefully and felt that the place where he was now was really weird. It stands to reason that he fell from a place where there was water, and the water level should be about as high as the floor of the church, and the water should not be so low here.
Unless this is a naturally occurring confined space.
It's a desperate speculation that if there is no way underwater, then Magellan will have to die.
Under the light of the "sun", the more the absolutely rational Magellan thought about it, the more he felt that it might be the case, and he finally did not give up and decided to do his best to resign himself to the fate of God.
Then Magellan discovered an undercurrent underwater......
While lamenting that the world is changing too fast, it is exciting to go up and down, and at the same time find an exit with the current.
Although I don't know where the water is in front of it, the abyss or the sand, but the place where the water comes from should be above, and Magellan must go up if he wants to return to the church.
Just following the current, Magellan embarked on an underwater journey that he had already experienced in his dream.
......
Accompanied by stones and currents of water, the countess descended in the air with the morning star, and unlike the knight and Magellan who fell like stones next to her, the two ladies descended gracefully and slowly in the air.
Standing on a stone slab, Luna waved her hand from time to time, creating an essence explosion under the slab, slowing it down. This hand can be called a master of the arts, and if she accidentally does not master the balance well, she will fall down if the slate flips. But looking at Morning Star's expression, she didn't think about this possibility at all. The sleek military uniform underneath the coat makes Luna stand tall, and the hem of the coat fluttering behind her resembles a butterfly.
In contrast, the countess was much more agile, although she was just as calm, but she leaned on a flying claw to swing around to slow down the speed of her fall, more like a red dragonfly passing by on a battlefield under a hail of bullets.
Eventually, the two ladies chose a place to settle together, standing face to face on a small stone platform.
"You ......"
Luna was the first to speak, her face still unflattering, but with a subtle emotion in her tone.
"Who you are, Helen, Countess of New North Shire?"
Magellan's familiar smile appeared on the countess's face: "Yes. ”
"Your Majesty once mentioned you to me," Luna turned her back to the countess, "I can get you out of here safely." ”
"Thank you so much......
"It's not because of you, so don't thank me. ”
The countess sighed: "I have no intention of objecting to Her Majesty Elizabeth's pursuit of women, but I really will not accept her pursuit. ”
"So," the countess walked up to Luna and looked into the abyss below, "you don't have to think of me as your lord's concubine. ”
"Then, as long as you promise not to touch the Holy Grail, I will protect you from leaving safely. ”
"That can't be. ”
Morningstar turned to face the countess, the silver mask on the right side of her face reflecting a subtle shadow in the darkness.
"Farewell. ”
......
Magellan struggled through the water, feeling the coldness of the groundwater and wondering about his good fortune.
From the deepest abyss, all the way up, through several hidden gaps, each time successfully passed. This can no longer be explained by luck.
Theoretically, the flow of water from high to low, even if it is just an undercurrent like the few places Magellan passed, it will not be easy to swim upstream. Let's just talk about the undercurrent, some are very slow, the gap is too small, one person can't pass, some is very large, the gap is enough for one person to pass, but the water is turbulent and can't pass.
Such an unfortunate thing had never happened to Magellan once, and he thought for a long time, thinking that maybe this abyss was also part of the church.
In all religious stories, there will be such a bridge: God made the believer to do something that was certain to die, and the believer did it, and God let the believer not die.
The abyss clearly created that atmosphere, and recalling the message on the slate, Magellan felt that it was the most suitable place to test piety.
Optimistically, maybe he has the Holy Grail in front of him. Magellan was a little miserable up and down in the water, so he used this speculation to encourage himself, although it was a "best-case scenario" along the way, but it was bad enough.
In this way, at last Magellan climbed ashore, and he lay on the rocks, and for the first time had the feeling that "it is good to have no water in the desert."
After a break, Magellan found a small door and walked inside.
It was still the familiar stone box, but this time the room was no longer tilted, and he walked through the small door with an oil lamp and walked in the darkness.
The idea that the abyss was a test grew stronger, and Magellan felt that he would soon be able to see the Holy Grail.
