Chapter 459: The Return of the Prophet (1)
A few months later, Shazo heard the call for the Austonians to attack the Glen, but it had long since become a deserted place. The "Auston Warriors" from the north have only acquired a barren land, which is worthless. According to the information transmitted by the spies, Duke and the others did not participate in this large-scale requisition, and it seems that after the magic explosion, no one mentioned General Duke and Sreemor and the others. Raymond, who returned to the Bone Wastes, was more active, and he learned some of Andy's magic and began to build defensive structures near the Greystone Castle. For the rest of the day, Raymond considered himself a magician, and the dilapidated buildings suspended above the gladiatorial arena were called "god-like confined spaces" by the Saxons.
On a stormy night, Beatrice sat in front of the window of the hut coaxing Andy's son Dana. Although this little guy is not yet a year old, it can make some ill-intentioned little animals shy away. Even so, Beatrice was worried that this thin baby would not grow up healthy, and that a fatherless child would be like a wanderer in the wind and rain in that not peaceful era, and could encounter danger at any time.
"I'm cold, can you let me in and warm up, and if it's convenient for you, you'd better give me a little more hot water and food, which are needed by people traveling on rainy nights. Suddenly there was a sound of begging outside the door. Beatrice had been living in the Walled City of Chazzor until a few months ago when she and her son had moved into an abandoned camp for the Austonians. Without the threat of the Calby Elves, all the Auston soldiers stationed near the Sunshade Forest were sent to the vicinity of Cloud Mountain. After the last requisition, the former advantage of the Calby Elves is gone, and continuing to garrison will only waste food and resources, which is something that King Shino does not allow.
Xia Zuo didn't want Beatrice to live so far with the child, but he couldn't resist it, so he had to send some supplies from time to time. "Come in. Beatrice opened the wooden door with Dana in her arms, and a chill hit her face, and she quickly covered the child's face with her own clothes. Although there have been no recent wars, there are still many people who are desperate due to hunger and cold.
"Thank you, thank you so much. "A ragged and drenched Auston man walked into the hut, his cloak so low that he couldn't see clearly. The man's hair could be seen under the brim, gray and dripping downward. Beatrice put Dana back in the cradle, then picked up the kettle from the stove, and she poured the beggar a cup of hot water. "Drink, I've got something to eat here. With that, Beatrice handed over the jerky that Xia Zuo had brought over.
The beggar did not look up, and he still refused to take off the cloak above his head. "Your skin is really white, and you're one of the most delicate women I've ever met. The beggar took a sip of hot water and said something disrespectful. Beatrice was very angry, it was already dark and raining, and she didn't want to continue to entertain this disrespectful old fellow.
"You've already drunk the water, my husband isn't at home, you better go out. Beatrice reached out and helped the old beggar up. Suddenly, the old beggar took Beatrice in his arms, and then pursed his lips with the intention of doing evil. "Stop, you ......" Beatrice suddenly felt the numbness in her body disappear in an instant, and tears fell down her cheeks to the floor.
"Honey, why are you crying?" said the old beggar as he took off his cloak. "Andy......" Beatrice threw herself into her husband's arms, and the cry did not stop abruptly, but became more and more violent. She had fantasized about this reunion countless times in her mind, but she never expected it to be so dramatic. "Why are you pretending to be a beggar and scaring me?" asked Beatrice, wiping tears from her face with her hand.
Andy replied with a smile, "You can see too, my hair is too harsh." This is the result of my careful dressing up in the Blinding Forest, otherwise I would not dare to come back to see you. With that, he took off his wet clothes, revealing his scars all over his body. In fact, even he himself couldn't agree with the explanation just now, but in order to avoid the magicians of the Austonians, such a dress was still a very safe move.
"Why is your hair gray?" asked Beatrice, puzzled. Andy replied with his hand twisting his gray hair, "That magic explosion was so violent, I used all my energy in the confined space. Who would have thought that Victor guy actually summoned the High Priest, I had no choice but to release all the rune energy of the Heart of Light, and it turned out to be like this, fortunately, there was no disfigurement. ”
Beatrice brought over a dry cloth and she wiped Andy's damp body. "If you survived, why didn't you go back to Monroe Marsh with Vella and the others? Andy smiled wryly as he walked over to the cradle and looked at his son. "I didn't think I was already a father, what's his name?" replied Beatrice shyly, "His name is Dana." Don't digress from the conversation, I just asked you, why didn't you come back?" Andy rubbed his bloodshot eyes with his hands, looking very tired. Beatrice didn't want to keep asking, so she simply brought the brazier and gave Andy a fire. A moment later, Andy recounted what had happened in the past few months.
After the magic explosion, Belil rescues Selena and Victor is defeated. However, the combination of the brocade box and the hourglass of time is completed, and the destruction mode is officially enabled. If you want to end Doom Mode, you must activate the Storm Altar to detach the artifact. Andy hears Dylan's call during meditation, and he enters another world without telling everyone. There, he met with Dylan and quickly determined the location of the Storm Altar. However, activating the Storm Altar required rubbings as a resource, and the two of them returned to the valley and spent three days collecting storm rubbings on the ruins of Tyrann's mansion.
"I met Trist in the process of collecting rubbings, and she had gained enough black energy from the magic explosion that Dylan was very worried. Andy drank the water from the cup, then walked to the window and sighed. Beatrice walked over and gently patted the sleeping Dana in the cradle with her hand. After a while, she asked reluctantly, "For the sake of the children, can we go back to the Horn Desert and stay away from these meaningless wars?"
Andy's face was solemn, and he couldn't decide on Beatrice's very reasonable request. The valley has been reduced to ruins, and the Calby Elven race has gone from strength to decline. Tyron was taken away by the High Priest, and the former enemies seemed to be punished as they deserved, as if he had no reason to continue fighting. "What am I here for?" asked Andy.
