Chapter 59: The King of the Lionmen
Magellan shook his head: "Am I so much like a believer?"
"When you speak of the gods, the contempt is all written on your face. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info”
"That's not important......" Magellan watched as the knight swung his sword at him, but the sword stopped in the light, and he looked like a worm struggling in pine resin, so weak.
At this moment, Magellan felt the same way, and for the first time he began to see the weight of fate, helpless.
Divine power can save him, but not the countess.
"So I'm not alone......"
He remembered the first day he had come to this world, lying in a basket, the sky was gloomy clouds, and the air was filled with the strange smell of burning low-quality coal. At that moment, he told himself: "You are a traverser, don't be like the natives, be angry." ”
This is not the first time he has despaired, but this is the first time, and the identity of a traverser cannot bring him a sense of security.
Helen...... We're afraid we won't be able to run away this time. He noticed that his voice was so hoarse.
"Don't worry, Professor Magellan, my rope is not as cursed as yours. The countess laughed.
Magellan smiled wryly and looked up, but what he saw was an apocalyptic scene.
In the last light of the Grail, the hall collapsed silently, and a boulder the size of a room was slamming down on top of their heads.
"What ......"
"The power of the Holy Grail doesn't disappear in a vacuum, and it looks like this is the end of the Eternal Citadel. The countess said calmly, then reached out to Magellan, "Are you seasick?"
"What?" Magellan reached out and took the countess's arm.
"The next stretch is likely to be rough, remember, if you show signs of seasickness, be sure to let me know, I don't mind keeping you here. ”
"Divine power will save my life," Magellan shook his head, "Forget it, I don't believe in divine power, so captain, how much is my life worth?"
"Worthless. ”
The countess laughed and flicked her claws.
This is a scene that Magellan has never seen in his wildest sleep, so absurd, so exciting. The Countess weaves her talons between the falling boulders, followed by the chasing Knight and the Morning Star. They travel through the air as if they had wings, and countless stones pass by them, like a harmless backdrop on the stage.
Magellan felt he should do something, but he couldn't do anything. He held the Holy Grail in his hand, which had lost its power, and felt like an outsider.
However, the knight did not let him go.
In this absurdist scene, the knight is the absolute protagonist, and his inhuman side is fully revealed, jumping between the boulders in a strange posture like a clown, not only not being pulled down by the countess, but even getting closer.
Magellan wanted to laugh, but the pressure of death at this moment was mixed with the absurd actions of the knight in front of him, giving him the urge to laugh out loud.
But soon he couldn't laugh anymore.
The knight rushed in front of him and slashed with his sword.
Magellan's arm, which had just healed from his wound, was stabbed again, and he let go of his hand in severe pain.
The chalice swirled and fell along with the stones, and the ruby emitted a mesmerizing light one last time before disappearing into the dark abyss.
Magellan roared loudly, and he didn't know why, but this time the wound on his arm was particularly painful.
Then the wound healed in an instant.
The light brought by the divine power finally dissipated, and in the darkness, Magellan raised the "sun", hoping to illuminate the countess, but his heart had given up hope.
The stones around them were like rain, the abyss under their feet had no end, and the four of them were like ants in the tide, and there seemed to be no hope ahead.
At this moment, a cry resounded through the abyss: "Caliph!"
Something like a tidal wave came in, starting above them, drowning out the sound of falling stones colliding with each other.
Soon, Magellan saw that it was sand.
"I didn't expect my death to be a dry corpse...... "He thought to himself, wondering why it was the sand that fell first, not the water.
Magellan didn't hear the cry, but when it sounded a second time, he heard it.
"It's a mage!" he was overjoyed, and then his mouth was filled with sand.
"Caliph!"
The shout echoed through the abyss, and soon Magellan saw the magic of the mages.
The sand is carrying them upward.
That scene gave him the illusion of turning upside down, each grain of sand slowly rising against gravity, they wrapped four people and countless stones, like quicksand devouring the caravan, only this time it turned upside down.
Magellan struggled to his feet in the sand, looking at the place where the light of the "sun" above his head could not shine: "How can a mage use such a powerful magic?"
"Strictly speaking, it's not that difficult, no one knows the desert better than they do. ”
The countess and Magellan stood together, not even their hairstyles were messed up, and they were still full of aristocratic temperament.
And so, they waited for the light of the sun.
......
Slowly lifted to the ground by the sand, Magellan's first sight was a lion man sitting under a pergola, surrounded by people not far away.
It was a white-maned lion man like no other, a majestic lion, and his eyes were full of imperial poise.
Magellan looked around, and the mages formed a circle, and among them there was a veiled woman. The woman, graceful as a maiden, seemed to be the master of this magic.
The countess was beside Magellan, and not far from them, the Morning Star and the Knight also appeared.
The lionman stood up, and he walked over to the Morning Star first.
In front of the lion, the morning star is a head shorter, and when the two look at each other, onlookers can't help but feel like a lion watching his dinner and thinking about where to start.
"Harum, Rachel Caliphate. ”
Morningstar bowed his head and uttered an Arabic phrase.
Then the lionman nodded: "Cahazarum, Caesar." ”
His voice was deep and deep, and his tone was full of the majesty of the superior, but with a certain milder flavor.
Then the lion man turned and walked up to the countess. Magellan bowed his head in understanding, and then he heard a Breton phrase: "Good afternoon, beautiful lady, and, Professor Magellan." ”
"Good afternoon...... Magellan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to call the lionman.
"I am the caliph of Alpha, Ajani the golden-maned lion. ”
"Good afternoon, Your Majesty. Magellan said, his heart full of shock. He remembered it clearly, this was the Oasis of the Moon that no one had been to for hundreds of years, why did the Caliph come here?
The answer to this question was short.
