Chapter 54: The Four Corners
It only took a split second for Yuan Chi to decide to forget about the problem.
It doesn't matter at all.
No one has ever been able to do to a demon what this man did to him. As the son of the emperor, Yuan Chi always proudly searched for opponents worthy of him, but the result was only disappointment.
The golden bloodline bestowed on him terrifying powers, and no one in the entire Dragon Nation was his opponent.
There is no glory at all in defeating a group of people who are far inferior to themselves, and there is no point in it, it is no different from wasting time.
So Yuan Chi was very happy to see this man appear, and sure enough, the dragon would not let him down.
"You ......"
Magellan wanted to repeat his question, but was interrupted by Yuan Chi.
The demon clan rushed towards Magellan almost ecstatically, and stretched out his right hand towards his company, ready to repeat what Magellan had just done as it was.
Then Magellan ducked his head.
When he was about to give Yuan Chi a blow to his abdomen, Magellan's fist was blocked.
Yuan Chi is a well-trained warrior with excellent physical fitness, the only thing he lacks is experience in facing disadvantages, of course, in a sense, this is not a disadvantage at all.
Magellan blocked the ensuing barrage of attacks, and Motochi did not use a weapon, his movements were swift and aggressive, and his pace was nimble.
While retreating, Magellan began to think about what the person in front of him was thinking, he had always known that Yuan Chi was a trouble, but now Magellan began to wonder what this demon prince wanted to do.
Yuan Chi had no killing intent, he was simply enjoying a game he had never seen before, immersed in an unprecedented challenge, which was fundamentally different from what Magellan had thought before.
Magellan knew that the countess would complete that magic-powered drainage system, and from the beginning, she could do everything on her own, so there was nothing to worry about at all.
What really matters is that Motochi is not allowed to see the Countess, no matter what he reacts to, such as expressing kindness or malice, it can lead to conflict, and for the Countess, this is something that must be avoided, otherwise the Arala Person, an important ally of Brittana, will be in trouble.
Magellan thought about it, and suddenly felt that it would be a good choice to continue playing games with the prince like this, albeit very boring.
......
Dantès scurried around the corner, staggering across the sand, into the shadows of the ruins, and finally into the arms of the countess.
"It's all right," said the countess, holding Dantès softly and pulling a strand of loose hair from her forehead behind her ear, whose face was covered with sand and almost cried. ”
"I see it here...... That demon ......"
"It's all right," said the countess softly as Dontès, "I'm here, Magellan just happened to have something to do and went away, don't worry." ”
"I'm sorry ......"
Then Dantès really cried, and two tears flowed down her face, washing away the dust and looking exceptionally clear.
"It's okay, don't worry about ......"
For a moment, the countess began to regret why there were so few magic in the world that could have a positive effect on human emotions.
Eventually, though, Dantès calmed down.
"The sound just now is that we have found the remains of the Sky Garden, and it just so happens that I need help, so let's take a look. ”
The countess slowed down, walked in front of Dantès, and led her into the shadows.
"This ......"
In the shadows was a dreamlike scene, with a converging stream of essence on the dark water, colorful bands of light swaying, everything like an extremely cold night sky.
"We've done the first step," the countess gently squeezed Dantès' hand, she could still feel a slight tremor, "and now it's time for the second step to need help." ”
"What can I do?"
Dantès cautiously approached the back of the countess, trying in vain to hide from the darkness.
"Come and see this ancient miracle. ”
The countess smiled and walked on the water, she took Dantès by the hand, like a prince who had walked into the crowd with his dancing partner, about to start a grand ball.
Beneath their feet, in the calm darkness were infinite colors, and the surface of the water was as calm as transparent ice floes.
Circumventing the stone pillar, the two made their way through the darkness and finally stopped at the center of the darkness.
"We're going to get the water-lifting magic to kick in, to make the water rise to the next level. ”
"Is that magic?" Dontès wasn't as sluggish as Magellan, she could clearly see the presence of the magic circle and the power that was about to erupt - the magic was already in operation, and she couldn't wait to get to the next step.
"It's a puzzle, it's essentially a star, and I need to find the four corners. ”
"That should be in ......" Dantès took a few steps forward, she unconsciously let go of the countess's hand, "there ......"
"Yes," said the countess, as Dantès took her hand again, "this is the first place. ”
The countess didn't tell Dantès that it was a complex three-dimensional puzzle and that finding the right place was far more difficult than it looked. She just smiled and took Dantès's hand as she led the latter cautiously down the transparent staircase.
"How?"
Dantès unconsciously clenched the countess's hand, she didn't even realize that she was leaning on the countess, being in the dark, the feeling of hanging in the air made her forget a lot of things, the light of the essence gathering in the darkness was incomparably brilliant, infinite fear and dreams were mixed together, inseparable.
"It's not that hard," the countess raised her right hand, completing the magic, "it will take a little time to determine the location, but it's done." ”
"I'm sorry ......"
"No, I need your help, and it will take three people to do this. ”
The countess smiled and walked down the stairs, and Dantès followed her in confusion.
"Magellan was waiting in one of the remaining corners, and there were two more. ”
"One of us?"
"Not too far away," the countess smiled and touched Dantès's forehead, "now you can see me, even in the dark." ”
Dantès's vision was illuminated, and a diamond-shaped bright spot appeared on the back of the countess's right hand, illuminating Helen's face, although the light was insignificant in the darkness.
"I'm here. ”
The countess let go of Dantès's hand, then re-grasped it before she opened her mouth to call out, and then slowly, once again.
"I'm here. ”
"I ......," said Dantès softly, and the countess did not know if she was about to cry in fear, "I see it." ”
Then she began to slowly retreat.
