Chapter 252: The Steward of the Temple
With the fall of the vines, the spring puppets besieging everyone also faded like a tide, and the road in front of them became extremely smooth in an instant. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Dawn, what's going on?" asked Xiang in surprise.
Angus ...... Wake up, this posture is to invite us in!" Dawn smiled bitterly and looked at the retreating spring water puppets, who were constantly appearing behind everyone, making a posture of wanting to drive the sheep into the circle.
He looked at Chenxi silently for a while, and suddenly said, "Angus...... Got in touch with you?"
"If you're talking about a god in the form of a blonde young man, that's it!" Dawn smiled bitterly, although she didn't expose Bai Ze's existence, she did expose the secret of the Dragon of the Law. This kind of Kyushu Terran treasure containing countless fragments of the laws of the world is only afraid that it will be a little more attractive to Angus than Bai Ze.
Chenxi's words attracted everyone's exclamations, especially Kevin, who couldn't help but panic at the moment: "He's ...... What did he say?"
"We're just afraid that we won't be able to escape, or he wouldn't have put on this kind of battle!" Chenxi shook his head, "The Fountain of Youth is Angus's original body before he became a god, and each spring puppet is equivalent to his clone, so his situation is basically clear now!"
"Including Gretel?" asked the prime minister suddenly.
"This ...... I don't know!" Dawn couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. However, when the prime minister asked him this, he also reacted, and Gretel has not been on the frontal battlefield because of his injuries. Angus should have only begun to awaken his consciousness when he subdued the fire crow, and based on this time, it is inferred that Angus could not get Gretel's information from the puppet.
"In this way, we still have two advantages, if we can grasp it, it is not impossible to escape!"
"Two advantages?" asked Kevin, full of hope.
"One is the existence of Gretel, who has the power to control the Fountain of Youth. And Angus coincidentally became the spirit of the Necktan Holy Well, which later became the fountain of youth, before stepping on the altar. Therefore, any restraint on the spring water will have an effect on Angus itself. "As for the second point, Angus's awakening time is too short, and his own strength should be less than one-tenth of the seal." Although in his opinion, it was enough to deal with us mortals with his current strength, but this was our chance to escape. ”
Chenxi glanced at him with some dissatisfaction, this old man is really not a good person, and if he is not careful, he may be calculated. According to him, it doesn't matter if Angus underestimates the enemy, or if Gretel is ignored. The premise of wanting everyone to escape is that Glitter can play a role in diversion. With such an arrangement, I am afraid that Gretel will be used as an outcast.
"Is it possible for us to fight Angus?" asked Hansel, frowning.
"There is not the slightest possibility, only the gods can hurt the gods. It's because there is a layer of space world transformed by their realm outside the god's body, so if you want to hurt their body, you must first be able to penetrate this world!" Even if the Celtic gods have fallen, it is not something that mortals like us can shake!"
"Then I don't agree!" Hansel said firmly: "We can't hurt Angus himself, which means that we don't have the slightest threat to him." Gretel's manipulation of the Fountain of Youth under such circumstances may bring you a glimmer of life, but she is a mortal situation. So, I don't agree with it!"
The prime minister let out a long sigh: "Do we have any other choice, or die here together." Either spell her alone and give others a chance. I warn you, the longer the delay, the stronger Angus recovers, and the lower our odds will be!"
"Gretel......" Kevin knew Hansel's heart, and it was useless to persuade him, so he asked Gretel directly.
"You don't need to say it, if the situation is really as the old man said. I'm going to make a sacrifice, we can't all stay here!" Gretel answered without waiting for Kevin to speak.
Seeing his sister's resolute expression, Han Seller turned his head to look at Chenxi: "I want to hear what you have to say?"
Dawn looked at Gretel without hesitation and said softly, "Let's take one step at a time, but no matter what the situation is, I will save it for the last one!"
Dawn's voice fell, ignoring the stunned crowd, and took the lead towards the square of the temple. Han Seller snorted angrily, glared at the prime minister, and then followed with two wounded men.
A short distance ahead, a megalith-style courtyard came into view. In the center of the Stonehenge-like building, a huge pool is glowing with colorful brilliance. In the center of the pool is a statue of a handsome young man, presumably carved in the shape of Angus. From the palm of the stone statue's hand, a clear spring gushed out continuously, spilling into the pool and creating bursts of mist.
"Is this the Fountain of Youth?" Dawn didn't look at the dense spring puppets on the periphery of the courtyard, and turned to ask the minister.
"That's it, the statue is the hub of the spring, and the souls bound by the spring are sealed in the stone!"
"I've always been curious, Angus is in charge of youth and love. How did he gain the ability to control the souls of the dead?" Dawn asked, sensing the fluctuations of the souls on the idol that were out of place with the surroundings.
"Quite simply, it was a gift from Her Majesty Maurigan, the goddess of war and shadows, to my lord. This bloodstone from the Land of Shadows was collected from the battlefields of the Ancient Divine Wars, and has the innate ability to suppress souls. An old man with an unassuming appearance turned out from behind the statue and said in a voice that was neither sad nor joyful.
"Who?" Kevin asked in a trembling voice.
Chenxi couldn't help but shake his head, Kevin's mental insight is a leader among the younger generation. But because of his status as an illegitimate child since childhood, his heart is a little dark, and because he has received Christian education for a long time, he has a fear of gods in his bones. After hearing the news of Angus's awakening, the words have been very substandard.
"Steward of the Temple of Angus, Druid Master Locke!" whispered, but his eyes remained fixed on the old druid.
"You shouldn't be here. Thousands of years have passed, so why would you bother to do such a reckless act!" Locke sighed as he looked at his aging body.
