Chapter 63: The Guardian of the Sky (Part II)
"It's time to go!!"
Shibei gritted his teeth and jumped onto the cliff, looking for a foothold as much as possible to fly over again, reaching about six meters in the air in one breath, taking out a dagger and piercing into the thin ice, and then taking out another short dagger to find the next place to climb, repeatedly came to the top, and without having time to observe the surrounding environment, he took out the rope from his backpack and hung down, picking up the other two as well. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoLooking at the top of the snowy mountain, the snow was almost knee-deep, because of the deep clouds, there was nothing nearby except the clouds, Hawke chirped and landed on the shoulders of Mo Tea, a cold wind blew, the nearby clouds began to flow, and in the gaps in the clouds they saw a pointed building in the distance, which was the end of their trip.
"Looks like that's where we're going...... But it seems far away!"
White gasped, his legs buried in the snowdrift were already purple and frozen: "...... Even I don't get used to the environment here...... After walking a few steps, I was tired and panicked......"
"Hawke has scouted the nearby terrain...... We ......" Because the air was so thin that the tea couldn't even finish it in one breath, he continued after a few sharp breaths: "...... We're now at the corner of the snowy mountain, about a mile or so from the building, and the snow is deep on this side, so it's much better if we get to the perimeter of the building. ”
"Follow me...... Now I'm going to get out of the way!" Jubei stretched his body, trying his best to imitate Okuma's snow flying trick that day, and walked lightly through the snow towards the distant building, and Mocha and White slowly followed.
At the same moment, on the snow in front of the church, Xia Yan and Xiao Yi stood in the middle of the snow, with the corpse of a snow wolf under his feet, and his knife was still stuck in the wolf corpse, and there were dozens of wolves around him eyeing the prey in front of him, seeing the opportunity to attack at the same time.
"Close your eyes!" Xia Yan shouted, pulled out the crescent moon from the corpse under his feet, and swung the first sword along his body in a gorgeous arc, and the three rings of sword qi immediately turned around and spread, killing all the wolves that flew over, and the blood fell on the snow like rain.
"This is where you see through the revelation of fire, right?" he said, putting away his sword and making sure for the last time.
Xiao Yi opened his eyes, confirmed the nearby environment, and nodded: "Yes! This is it!~"
"Then go to the guidance of the firmament......"
The two walked to the gate of the cathedral, and at this time, Xiao Yi stopped Xia Yan, looked at this Gothic cathedral, and said to Xia Yan: "This is the Calbaidian Cathedral, I didn't expect it to really exist." ”
"Garbaidia, what's that?"
"It was also built by the Holy King, and it was originally built as a chapel for the purpose of 'contact with the sky', but it was later granted to a samurai who fought alongside him. ”
"It won't be like that dead ghost Ralph in Motvia......" Natsuhiko felt a little tired, and he couldn't get up every time he remembered the scene of being beaten by Ralph in the aqueduct cistern.
Shoey sighed and explained, "It is said that the Holy King has bestowed the Chapel of Calbaidia on the most upright knight, Duke Mirag, and it should be true. ”
"Duke Mirag, doesn't sound like a master of knives and guns. ”
"No, he's the state advisor of the Holy Kingdom, a well-known politician, and a first-class swordsman, even the Holy King doesn't dare to underestimate his stabbing swordsmanship!"
"Estork?The blade is as thin as a needle...... It seems that this gentleman of state is still a good swordsman, and I would like to fight him!" he smiled, kicked open the crumbling church door, and made his way into the hall.
The two of them went straight to the center, the environment inside the church was not to say, the incomplete walls were ventilated on all sides, the floor was covered with thick dust, and snowflakes fell from the dilapidated roof of the church. When the cold wind blows, the flags and cobwebs in the hall dance together, as mysterious as a ghostly dwelling.
"It's not a good environment...... It looks like we have to sweep the floor first, or we won't find the seal. Xia Yan stomped his foot, and dust immediately flew up along his feet.
Xiao Yi coughed a few times and waved his hands to disperse the dust: "What are you doing!!! What a stupid person!!"
"Then you go and find it!I'm only responsible for unsealing the Firmament Guidance......"
A cold wind whistled past them, and a majestic voice was heard......
"The first visitors in hundreds of years actually came for the elemental gems. ”
This made the two of them shudder, and each began to explore the source of the sound, Xia Yan raised his head and saw a figure floating on the top of the church, the person was wearing a black and white Gothic dress, white leather gloves, and a black top hat on his head, and the shimmering light gradually fell in front of the two.
"Young man, you are here for the Void Elemental Gem. But I need to remind you that it awakens me to my duty and that if you want to get the gem, you must have my approval. ”
Shoey was not afraid of this, but took the initiative to accost: "You must be an upright lord, Duke Mirag, right?"
"Yes, brave girl. Duke took off his top hat and bowed to Shay, all he was left with a gray hair and a well-organized old face.
Unlike Xiao Yi, Xia Yan was unwell, and he watched Mirag floating above the ground, so he asked, "Mr. Mirag, ...... you Are you an undead?"
"It is true that the undead have no substance, and I am currently in the spirit state, and in the space that belongs to me I will have a direct entity, which is what you see as me. ”
He shook Xia Yan's hand and asked, "Do you allow a lonely old man to know your name?"
Facing the kind Duke, Xia Yan relaxed his vigilance: "I am Xia Yan, Maitreya Xia Yan. ”
"Grandpa Duke, my name is Shoey Augst!
"Mr. Maitreya and Miss Augst, welcome to the Chapel of Calbaidia, the guidance of the firmament, which symbolizes the sky, is sealed on the sign of the church, and that is it. He explained the situation to the two of them, and pointed to the wall behind the lecture in the hall, where there was a large seal.
"Okay!Mirag-senpai, about your recognition......" Natsuhiko asked bluntly, and he also held the sword under the instinct of instinct.
"Don't worry, don't worry! I can talk about the duel later, I still want to test your knowledge!" Duke rejected Natsuhiko's request and offered a new perspective.
Shaw took a step forward and said proudly, "Say whatever problem you want to test me!
"That's so confident, then I'll ask. ”
Duke pondered for a moment and asked the first question: "How many regimes have been established on the continent of Calradia since the first year of the Common Era? ”
“...... If the Empire of Gruordian and the Duchy of Grudok could be counted earlier...... Together with the Galadia Empire, which united the two major powers against foreign races, and the Divine Kingdom established by legendary heroes who repelled the invasion of darkness, there are four in total. ”
Shoey gave a direct answer, which did not affect Duke's train of thought, and he continued to ask: "Leon, that is, what you call the Holy King, he once defeated Medius, but the first drop of blood of the fallen god was not obtained by him, but by our comrades, guess who got the first blood?"
"It's not fair...... The story of the legendary heroes and the legendary Four Horsemen is only a little bit handed down by the troubadours......"
She couldn't answer it for a while, and Duke also felt that the question was out of place, so he said, "It seems that I had better change the question." ”
He fiddled with his beard, and when he saw that Shoy had regained his confidence, he continued to ask, "You call Leon the legendary hero, and the samurai who fought alongside him the legendary Four Horsemen?"
Shoey strolled back and forth while thinking, and replied, "Duke Mirag is standing right in front of him, and Ralph, Ricciardo, and Simon, right?"
"It's amazing to be able to answer to that extent...... Because the so-called legendary Four Knights is not realistic, in fact, there are five people in total, and you didn't answer the last samurai, but you can count your answer correctly!"
"Hah! Three questions! Can I make one!" she asked Duke with a wicked smile, and the other replied nonchalantly, "Just ask! ”
Confident in her plan, she took out a silver coin from her pocket and threw it into the air: "Guess the heads and tails, it's very simple, right?
"Looks like I'm going to lose...... Since you said it, you can't go back, back!" Duke pinned his hopes on his guess and shouted the answer.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and with the clear sound of the coin spinning and landing, a small puff of smoke and dust rose from her feet, and a hundred denominations appeared, and she picked up the coin and laughed: "How! This is not something that knowledge can control!"
"I can't help it, I look really old, and I'm unlucky......"
Duke shook his head and said to Xia Yan, "You have passed the first level! Now, Mr. Maitreya, let's face off against me, an old man!"
"As you wish, you will have a showdown!" he ripped off the cotton robe under his white robe, put it back on, and faced the battle in the best condition.
In Xia Yan's field of vision, Duke's right hand pulled out his beloved sword, Estork, from the scabbard at his waist, and amazingly, he brushed his palm over the sharp needle-like blade, causing bursts of lightning on the sword body, and Duke Fei also stepped back, raising the bayonet horizontally so that the target and vision were lined up in a straight line, and the posture of rushing forward was ......
