Volume VIII, Chapter 43
"Actually, you're no longer so dependent on external objects when you reach the fifth level...... Why don't I lend you the frost?" said Masterma as she walked around the table and leaned against Lovian.
"Forget it, you can use it yourself, I don't use that light sword very well—though it's not too light. Lovian thought and subconsciously felt a pain in his shoulder, which was exactly where Mastma had pierced his body from spontaneously combusting his life during the surprise attack to rescue Orka.
"Return my sovereignty, return my unity—— reunification!!!Sovereignty !!——" The elven shouted out of thin air under the platform that should now be very empty, and the teacup on the table let out a panicked tremor,
"March, march, march! Why didn't I guess that the elves would use this method of dirt and slag to demonstrate?!" Lovian grumbled, glancing out, thousands of elves in uniform golden-green shirts, and even many other races living in elven society at the time, showing their singing voices with intoxication, and these "green shirts" sang in a deafening and deafening voice, and in a complicated elven language, they could only say two sentences:
"——Dongdu Linhai, sovereignty unified!! Mingcheng and my land, long live my king!!——"
"Aren't the elves the self-proclaimed life of elegance?elegance—elegance shouldn't be associated with hustle and bustle, right?" Masterma kissed Lovian on the cheek and began to clean the plate with a set of magic, "Mercedes seems to want me to turn all the public money in our account into the average annual GDP of the Darkcity, ......right? When will Harmuniya show up, it's really a grind!"
Across the crystal platform, the volume of the chants of the dense demonstrators did not decrease in the slightest. The most beautiful tune is repeated a thousand times. It can also feel boring. After a hasty meal, Lovian poked his head out of the window. Through the crystal platform that led to Guò, he could clearly see the surging beneath them. A crowd of demonstrators who use magic to write huge slogans of various kinds in mid-air.
However, despite the crowded, the elves paraded through the streets in such an orderly manner that not even a single garbage can was knocked over by the side of the road, and the traffic rules of each street were strictly observed, even if each elf was in an environment that was easily agitated.
The elegance and civilization of the elves have long been the hallmark of this race, just like the creative power and intellectual curiosity of the human race, and the tenacity and iron blood of the demons.
"Fellow Citizens!——"
The sound amplified by the magic clearly pierced the thick notes, and the monstrous sound was instantly suppressed by this bright and fresh sound.
After a few seconds of calm, an even more frenzied and disorderly clamor sounded. The sound was so loud that it almost shook the stars in the sky down.
"King, King!!!——"
"Long live Your Highness, my king Saigao!!"
"Talk to us!——!"
"O king!!!aaaa......a
“......”
"Compatriots, please be quiet!——" Mercedes' shrill voice once again suppressed the noise of the crowd piled up on the ten-story crystal platform.
"What is Mercedes talking about? The first sentence must be: 'The people who inherited the great golden cherry blossoms—"
"The people who inherited the great golden cherry blossoms ——"
Lovian tapped a little smugly on the window frame.
"And then—"
"I think you should focus your energy on such a boring thing, you might as well think about why you haven't recovered even the strength of the fourth level yet?!"
A slightly annoyed and mocking voice suddenly sounded out of the window, and Lovian was startled, the heroic Mercedes in military uniform under the crystal platform and surrounded by the elders was still giving an impassioned speech, and the splendid elf standing outside the window was ?——
"Okay, you're not mistaken, it's a fake that I condensed with the elements, but it also needs me to control it with my will. Mercedes said with a flash of purple light. Already in the dining room, Mastma was bored practicing cleaning magic on the dishes, and almost dropped the porcelain plate in his hand when he saw Mercedes appear without a ripple of the elements.
"Good noon. Mercedes looked around boredly. "Think about how remarkable the processing power I am when I speak in two places at the same time...... I'm afraid the 'Ellifin' computer can't do such accurate floating-point arithmetic, right?"
Lovian straightened his posture, "I can't imagine that you also know so much about today's cutting-edge technology. ”
"Of course. I was able to spend the whole year of 4081 taking make-up classes at the National University. Mercedes said casually, "Get down to business." You hope for the stars and the moon Harmaniah finally can't wait, and if this continues, sooner or later, the residents of Mingcheng will collectively oppose the independent government of Mingcheng. Sooner or later, Khalmaniya's black-box operation will collapse...... The current situation. I should already know where they're going to show up. ”
"Them?"
"How could Harmaniya be alone?" Mercedes said with a little impatient wave, "and besides himself, there is also a Grant who is a big trouble...... That guy is said to have been doing some shady things for hundreds of years. ”
Speaking of this, Mercedes paused abruptly for a moment, "...... And we can't rule out—"
"—Got it, stop. Lovian immediately nodded in understanding. Masterma gave a thoughtful look behind him.
“...... After all, Harmaniah still has his own hole cards, right? Five hundred years is enough to prepare a lot, not to mention that he knows that you will come back. Mastma said in a faint cold tone.
"It's the first time I've ......seen someone in the demon clan so polite to me," Mercedes leaned heavily on the sofa with a movement that had nothing to do with the word elegance, grabbing a cup of steaming black tea, "I think he will definitely come to a place, which is the most mysterious place of the elves, and the elf of Harmaniah, before he loses power, will definitely try to use the few resources left in his hands to find out the secret of the elves." Endless intellectual curiosity, this is a certain virtue of Harmaniya who has grown up among humans. It's some kind of disadvantage, isn't it? It's kind of similar to the lead researcher Gremel who betrayed Black Wings. ”
Luo Wei was shocked in peace and said in a low voice: "I am his mother-killing enemy. You say this, just to figure out that I will lure him forward?"
"Hate is indeed a shortcut to what you want...... Mercedes sipped his hot tea. "Therefore, His Royal Highness hereby solemnly said, you better do your best to restore your fourth-level strength, and stop putting your idle mind on speculating about what I will say-Hane Shelinka......"
The Golden Cherry Blossom Elf King closed his eyes at the moment, as if to make a shaky summary of the speech of the fake body a few hundred meters below her. Not caring at all about the other people looking at each other, a few seconds later, the crystal platform below resounded with earth-shattering cheers, louder chanting and more irrational lyrics, as if the entire dark city was trembling dangerously with the praise of the Elven King, and the cherry blossom petals flying outside the window also spun helplessly. Before landing and transforming into the elements of light, there seemed to be a faint wave of resentful soul fluctuations.
The young Elven King opened his eyes, raised a hand with a floral glass bracelet and nodded at Lovian, "Besides Halmaniah's personal affairs, there may be something else that can bring back your memories. ”
Lovean sensed what Mercedes was implicit.
"Five hundred years ago?" he asked cautiously.
Mercedes nodded, "Come with me in a moment—Miss Brynlet, I'm afraid it's not a good place for you......"
“...... What, what's not for me?" Mastma didn't say too politely, after all, Mercedes had once belonged to their enemy's camp, and she had even more weight on her tone after Mercedes' casual teaser.
"I see. Lovian took a deep breath. Turning to Mastma, "Believe me, besides, I have to order you as the former Legion Commander. In the subsequent conflict with Harmaniya, he was not allowed to fight. ”
Mastma's face changed several times, and finally he seemed to have found the answer. Then he nodded very slowly.
“...... The first mortal to touch the Word of God...... Dragonmaster...... Ryugod Fried ......"
Beyond the starry blue of the Dark City is the outer edge of the city, shrouded in a diamond-like surface, as it passes through the haze where diamond particles float. Lovian felt a slight tingling in his bare skin.
After a brief moment of white dazedness, he saw the dark city behind him wrapped in a cloud of white light. He was left behind faster and faster in his own rapid flight. What shocked him even more was the bright sunshine that he hadn't felt directly for a long time.
The May sun had already begun to bring up the noise of the cicadas in the middle of summer, and the tingling warmth of the fiery golden red light on his pale skin even gave him an urge to sigh.
The mist of diamonds gradually disappeared from his field of vision, and beneath him, of course, was a sea of thousands of miles that seemed to be immutable, but eternally filled with countless changes. The vastness of Dongdu Linhai was once again proved by his five senses, and the result of each proof was only more shocking.
And the lush element of life will always be Lin Hai's business card.
Mercedes, with the vibrations of the translucent wings behind him, was just a little bit ahead of Lovian. The disparity between race and strength makes it impossible for the current Blood Moon Venerable to surpass Mercedes in speed, no matter how hard he tries.
Luo Weian had no choice but to follow Mercedes helplessly, Mercedes bowed his head and was silent along the way, and the rapid turn also made him lose his sense of direction at the same time, secretly scolding Dongdu Linhai for being so vast. Even if the elven clan has a population of nearly one million, scattered in such a vast forest sea, I am afraid that the chance of seeing each other once in a lifetime is extremely slim!
Pounding into the life elementals, the formless life elements and the faint dark elemental trail trailed behind Lovian's rapidly vibrating wings. It had not been a long time since he had felt such a pleasant supply of dark elements, and Luo Wei'an was intoxicated by the internal circulation of his own turbulent power, so much so that when he broke through this invisible elemental front, he didn't even have time to control the pressure difference between his own energy and the external energy, and almost lost his balance and fell into the sky in an instant.
Heading towards the deepest part of the Dongdu Forest Sea, when the life elements were dense to the point where they were at their strongest—
——The life element of a qiē suddenly disappeared, and the green energy in the spiritual vision suddenly turned into a gray-purple color symbolizing the death element.
It's like a person who is intoxicated by a hot spring and falls into an ice cellar in an instant. The strong contrast of energy attributes made the skin of his whole body tense for a moment, and even his muscles twitched unconsciously.
In the sea of spirits. This is a circular world like a circle.
Dense death elementals gently surged through the circular area, and Lovien barely froze his body in mid-air. Gazing horrified, at this world without a trace of green.
"Balance, balance creates harmony. There was a certain divine serenity in Mercedes's voice, "Whether it is the element of life or the element of death, the element of soul or the element of necromancy, it is the creator of life, the master of life, the way of balance of the world tree." These are all lives, lives in the broad sense of the word. ”
Countless ancient wooden remains that had been turned into fossils still stood eternally on the gray ground without a trace of wind, and the absolute silence seemed to correspond to the death elements of all the life elements of the Dongdu Forest Sea gathered in this gray abyss.
Mercedes landed gracefully on lifeless ground. The dazzling crystal suit has drawn an extremely dazzling mark in this world without any beauty of life. Lovian staggered to the ground, only to feel the myriad of cold, piercing death elementals screaming and eager to rush into his body. Sealing every meridian with a somewhat panicked dark essence, Luo Wei'an was slightly relieved and took a shallow breath of the pure, odorless air here.
This is truly absolutely pure air, faintly implying the old adage that "when the water is clear, there are no fish".
Death is the ultimate purity.
Mercedes just waved to him, and an elf and a demon walked into the depths of this gray world except themselves. Even if it was the scorching sun in the sky, after the dark clouds formed by the convergence of the elements of death, only the dim and bleak yellow sunlight remained, barely illuminating this pure land brought by death.
Lovian's subconscious wails were not heard. Except for the sound of their breathing and footsteps, there was absolute silence. Even the wailing of the unjust soul symbolizes the possession of active life that does not exist here.
The sound of silent footsteps gradually walked towards the very center of the circle, gradually. Moist, but odorless, moist air rushed into his nostrils.
Walk through the fossilized trees that have turned the color of dead bones around them, through the scathing and cruel subtle gaze of the remains of life that can only be described by the sound of tangled spasms, and through the wax bodies that are frozen like wax figures that do not even give the life force of microorganisms needed to decay. A round gray lake was reflected in the dry yellow sky.
Without the need for Mercedes' words, the name of the round lake that disappeared from view at the end of the line of view naturally came to Love's mind.
"Dead Sea ......"
"The Dead Sea. Mercedes repeated. "The Dead Sea, the home of the Osirian elemental death. Even the fifth-level necromancer Sheila. Nor can they dive into this sea of death. ”
Immediately, Mercedes crouched down and picked up a handful of Dead Sea water with his fingers, which glowed with a miserable white light against a gray background. The colorless water flows down into the gray and seductive blue of the lake, creating a circle of ripples that are completely different from the dead silence. The disappearance of the ripples was frighteningly fast.
"Try it, touch the water. Mercedes said softly.
Lovian was even a little frightened, looking at the extremely clear but bottomless Dead Sea, he touched the smooth surface of the water with his fingertips.
There's no temperature – not blazing heat or cold – just no temperature. There was no touch, only a faint sting when the elements of life and death were annihilated. The sea water trickled down his fingertips, leaving no trace of moisture on his hands.
"This water is not buoyant, and it is impossible to escape from it if you fall into it. Even a fifth-level powerhouse can't disobey the law of the Lord of Life, here is not a place of life, our strength is greatly weakened, and the only power that can be mobilized is the power and spirit of our soul. ”
Mercedes sighed and looked into the middle of the sea. Lovian followed his gaze there, and at the limit of his line of sight, there seemed to be a small island.
"Legend has it that the waters of the River Styx flow, the gateway between the yang and the underworld, the eternal atonement of the suffering. ”
"Sufferers?"
"Defying the laws of Lena, the Lord of Time, blinding others into peering into the past, nailing the hands of those who try to touch fate...... Mortals who have touched the Word of God are also sinners who bear the wrath of God. Mercedes once again let the audience's Styx water slide down their fingers, "What heroes, traitors, wars, chaos...... Maybe our flashy life is just a dream of God......"
Mercedes suddenly straightened up his slender body, and the elements of life and death that were raised one after another shimmered stubbornly in the scattered breeze. The maple leaf-like dots of light seem to imply a sad echo of the past and the future.
"The one who has the right to shatter this dream...... Only the seeds of fate......"
;
The ...... who is qualified to shatter this dream Only the seeds of fate......"
;
She finally figured out why she hadn't discovered the strangeness of that valley either, for no one could discern such a unique power fluctuation in this era.
This is the power of time, the embodiment of the power of Lenna, the Lord of Time. As early as five hundred years ago, after the black mage was sealed in the Temple of Time, the power of time was out of this world's vision.
But why does Orka have the power of time?!(To be continued......
