Book VIII, Chapter 9
Flying Flower Garden, as its name suggests, swayed and shook in the gentle and fragrant breeze set off by the crimson underground world, which is a kind of flying flowers that can not be distinguished by the naked eye, they can only appear before or after the focus of the refraction of the lens of your eyeball, vaguely as if it is an illusory mist, which cannot be touched, but when the corner of the eye sweeps over the crimson petals full of rich atmosphere, it suddenly becomes clear, a qiē minute is complete, whether it is any texture or fine stamen, it will leave a moment of extremely clear traces in your memory。
Flying flowers swirled and fell into the depths of the earth, whirling languidly in a hall lit up by crystal blue lights.
Time seems to have passed here, and the discussion here is at an impasse as if it were an eternal flying flower here. The long, slender sandalwood table was neatly placed in the center of the hall, and the few people in the second seat were clearly in a state of drowsiness because the topic of discussion did not correspond to the things they were passionate about in their daily lives, so it was unfortunate that such a fruitless discussion had arisen here.
At one end of the long table, the girl in a light gold palace dress sat on a slightly gloomy high-backed chair with the demeanor of the royal ceremonial team, whether it was the slender magic lines between her eyebrows or the slender and slender ears protruding from her hair, it proved that she did not have half of the human blood. If you are a race that is more sensitive to the aura of the race, you will be surprised to find that this is a hybrid descendant of an elf race and a demon race.
Sitting opposite the elven demon half-blood girl was the judge who never took off his mask on formal occasions all year round, and on his side was Hongya, who had the Flying Flower Courtyard Divine Sword "Lunar Eclipse". There is no way to know the judge's expression under his black mask. But from the comparison between his movements and the posture of Hong Ya next to him, it is easy to deduce that he must also be the same as Hong Ya, showing an extremely impatient and sleepy appearance. And beside the judge and Hongya. There were also two empty seats, which were somewhat obtrusive.
The end of the long table was shrouded in crystal blue electric light, and several high-level executives of the Flying Flower Courtyard with different expressions with white veils stayed in their chairs in a strong solemn posture, perhaps they did not have the status of one of the four bloody hands of the Flying Flower Courtyard to deter the outside world, so they did not have the courage to offend the temper of the dark lord hidden at the dark end of the long table, and they could only let themselves remain motionless for several hours under this stiff posture.
In comparison, Verin, the representative of the Historical Sect of the Earth Saint Sect, seemed so out of place, if the Dark Lord who was not far from her was excluded.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound of a fan closing. A long sigh followed.
"This is truly an incredible piece of history, and what surprises us even more is that the witnesses of this history have been able to appear in the eyes of our generation - purely for me. I am not sure that I would be proud of such a reason, especially since you have explained the situation we find ourselves in, and I even have the urge to simply erase the legendary Legion Commander from his history that should not have existed in our minds. Is it an effort to help our discussions get out of the current impasse?"
The Dark Lord revealed his silhouette from the darkness behind him. It was a woman wrapped in a lightweight, tight-fitting robe. The master of most of Osiria's semi-dark world has appeared in this generation as an elegant, wicked woman.
The moon white and crimson patterns hint at the theme of Hika-in. The crimson color is the bloody desire hidden under the opulence, and the moon white is the last photo of the sword before the sword. The soft and slender brown hair floated smoothly and smoothly on the side of the dark lord's delicate and pure face that implied blood and charm, and happened to stop sharply at the neckline that was erected like a knife, and the soft and neat bangs broke out at this moment with an indescribable coldness, and the curvature of the perfect female body curve under the neckline once again entangled this sharpness and smoothness, and tightened, The perfection of one qiē subtly melts the darkness into this living artwork composed of moon white and crimson.
Xue Ji's seemingly casual suggestion was utterly ridiculous from Verin's point of view, and it made the two bloody hands suddenly interested - it didn't take any eyes to know. All you need to do is feel the fleeting fiery battle intent and the icy murderous storm that is about to happen.
Verin's expression pale for a moment, she closed her eyes and shook her head slightly. I want to sober myself up for a moment. Compared to the judge and Hongya, who flashed her dark temperament, the black tide surging in Yukihime's inky eyes was even more terrifying to her. This is not at all some kind of momentum that comes from the existence of an individual, but the desperate and helpless cry of countless resentful spirits under the cold steel refined by the enemy's and one's own cruel means.
It was as if fear had been completely injected into Verin's soul, and she couldn't even find the reason, she just felt a sense of sheer fear and weakness that had nothing to do with her fourth-level strength.
Yukihime unfolded the fan again, and the white blades were monotonously suffocating.
“...... Lord, Your Highness, my Earth Saint Cult Historical Sect is only focused on rebuilding a new Earth Cult in order to gain peace with the Holy Land. - I should not have questioned your construction, but you must remember the words of Mr. Lubistan of the Holy Land - he is indeed ......"
"I know that very well, Miss Verin. Xue Ji played with the fan in her hand and stroked the folding fan in her hand, "The bloodline of the psychic family is completely beyond our ability to resist. This threat to me is valid and recognized, so we are not ashamed of it. Besides, our friendly relationship with the Holy Land won't make me really do it, so your fears are unfounded. Judge, Hongya, self-respecting. ”
With Xue Ji's words, Hong Ya and the judge immediately chose the same posture as the other elders of the Flying Flower Courtyard behind them, and Wei Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
Yukihime patted her fan gently, "Since none of you can find a suitable plan. Then we will have to work according to the prototype agreement proposed by Miss Verin. The southwestern route, which is left to the Holy Church, is not under our jurisdiction. The Elven Civil War. Let's not show our sense of existence - let's just be a spectator for a few moments. As for our Mr. Lovian, let his stand-in return to the wolf clan safely. The elves will quietly come to escort them, and our previous efforts can also get more of the friendship of the elves, why don't we do it?"
Perhaps it would be a long time before the Flying Flowers in the troubled times would be able to spread their fragrant fragrance into the Earth Cult to the northwest, leaving a blinding crimson on their plain white holy walls. But at least for now, the Earth Cult is still the second largest force in the world. And with their power, they protect the core to which even a dark organization like the Flying Flower Courtyard cannot reach to with their bloody hands.
The earth temple nestled against the hill was nestled in the cold wind, and the icy air collided with the moisture wafting from the church, leaving huge ice edges on the edges of the pale golden dougong. However, this does not detract from the beauty of the church. The magnificence of the 100-meter-high church is piled up with huge golden masonry, and countless relief vines and flower branches are entwined on it, which at first glance may seem chaotic, but the strong symmetry from the distance and the natural beauty depicted from the close perspective are superimposed in a distance. There is no artificiality. Incomparably harmonious compatibility is a kind of warm and majestic beauty. The teachings of the Lord of the Earth are full of peace and tolerance, so even such a huge temple here does not give people any sense of oppression, as if the epic building in front of you is just an ordinary house next door.
A hundred meters of cold ice spilled from the top floor of the Earth Temple through the delicate vine reliefs, and finally connected to the ground, where the melted ice water merged into the glacier at the foot of the mountain, and returned to pale white ice crystals. It was a spectacular sight. It was as if a solidified waterfall poured down from the church, flowing from the hands of the idol whose Lord of the Earth had poured rain on all things beneath. Hope is pinned on this root of life, into Osiria, where she created Zào.
On the roof of the Earth Temple, a middle-aged man like a warrior looked at the sky that had entered the dusk and was silent for a long time. Beside him, a spear with a faint flowing dragon pattern hovered beside him. Behind him were several young men dressed in ordinary linen clothes, who obviously did not have the concentration of the middle-aged man in front of them, and some of them even stared intently at the ice flowing from the hands of the earth goddess, as if they could really see the slow flow of the glacier.
"The Lord is forgiving, and she allows her children to be disrespectful to Him. But it is up to us to express our respect, not to act arbitrarily according to the will of the Lord. ”
The middle-aged man watched as the sun completely submerged into the horizon and said to the young people behind him.
Several young men immediately stopped their seemingly irreverent movements and honestly stayed behind the middle-aged man.
"Do you have any other questions to ask? Although your qualifications do not allow you to have a place of your own in the council, if your youthful and energetic ideas can be appreciated by me, your will can be expressed through me, and it may be that your ideas at some moment can change the whole world. The middle-aged man said in a tone that seemed to be seductive.
"If Forrest Gump's and his teacher's affairs can be announced to the wolf clan, maybe the contradictions within the wolf clan will be able to destroy them themselves, and we don't need to waste so many precious combat resources. As soon as the middle-aged man's words fell, one of his students said.
"You're thinking too simply!" one of his classmates immediately accused, "Didn't you check the information about the wolf clan? Among the wolf clan, the status of the wolf clan's high priest is more than that of the wolf king, so after the cold hammer was killed in battle, Forrest Gump was able to control the wolf clan lightly, and he would not lose his mind because of the king's revenge, but because of the accumulation of strength for revenge, he successfully broke away from that ancient agreement, so that his own nation got at least a much better development space than the living environment in Tiantai Pass." ”
Another girl who was not very good at words also interjected in a sharp voice: "Now when I think of Forrest Gump's actions, I feel that my brain has been defiled! Cold Hammer is also their king anyway! How can he frame his own king for personal decisions - oh! Teacher, I don't mean that, I mean that if Forrest Gump really helps Cold Hammer in battle, you can easily defeat both of them, right?"
The middle-aged man turned around with a smile, "Don't overestimate you as a teacher. Although I have been at the limit of level 4 for many years, Cold Hammer definitely has more combat experience than me and Kosol, and it may be difficult for us to defeat it easily. What's more, adding an ice and thunder mage who had mastered many forbidden spells at that time? Cold Hammer's death in battle was far from being caused by Forrest Gump's release, and Cold Hammer may have known Forrest Gump's plan in advance, so sacrificing himself not only allowed the wolf clan to justifiably break away from the oath of the wolf clan to stay in Tiantai Pass set by the god of war Ai An five hundred years ago, but also allowed a better leader to get such an opportunity. Our losses were equally enormous, and the revenge of Patriarch Fiaceh, who died in battle under the rooftop pass, could not be avenged. And the lost Reborn Butterfly Wing Staff has no moral advantage to return - Forrest Gump's strength is no longer weak, and with his wisdom, give him twenty years. He's going to grow into a character that we're all going to have a lot of headaches for. ”
"Can't we get rid of him with our strength?"
"We can't do it. ”
"Wouldn't what we do in the future be stupid!" a young man shouted excitedly, "His Majesty Sinas divides most of his troops this time, it is a good opportunity for us to attack the Holy Land! Moreover, the five leaders of the Holy Emperor Knights, and even His Majesty himself, have personally gone to Grivar to crusade against the Demon Wing Reaper!! We have no better chance! We still have to obey His Majesty's order to lead his army south to block the retreat of the Black Wing from the west. We passed through wolf territory along the way and couldn't do anything! We didn't even bother. All we need to do is wipe out the wolf clan along the way—with our 300,000 troops, it's a no-brainer!"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "The Secret Pavilion has been unsealed, and with the relationship between Shinas and the Wolf Clan, she will definitely order the Sixteen Forbidden Spells of Ice and Thunder to be handed over to him, so that his power will reach a terrifying level in a short period of time." Although Shinas did not keep the Chamber of Secrets secret from us, we all knew very well that the earth forbidden magic that was really suitable for us could quickly increase our overall strength. Shinas didn't even say a half of the incantation to us. The gap between us and the Holy Land, and even with the other forces on the mainland, had already begun to widen at this time. And now there are no more people on the continent who can restrain Shinas except for the Black Wing and us. In the beginning, I was indeed reluctant to send our soldiers to the south, so that a force that could contain Shinas could be weakened or even destroyed. But we have been able to survive to this day, and to this day as a nominally opposing force against the Holy Emperor, and our important pillar is public opinion. If we stab the Holy Land in the back in the face of a force led by demons, our reputation, prestige, and dream of fully shining the glory of the Lord of the Earth on Osiria will be shattered, and we will not be able to make such a decision without a big picture in this place. However, we did come to an agreement with Shinas that if our cooperation could destroy the Black Wings, Shinas would hand over the Tantric Law of the Earth System to us, and we had no doubt about the credibility of the Holy Land.
"Here is another consideration of your thoughts, to destroy the wolf clan by the way, not to mention how much our strength will be destroyed in the fight against such a powerful people, which gives Shinas a reason not to hand over the tantric law to us after the war. Moreover, Shinas could even use this as a lever to stir up a wave of public opinion in Osiria that was extremely unfavorable to us, and the result would be even worse than if we did not send troops - all things considered, our choice was simpler, because there was only one choice. ”
The students thought for a moment before they understood what the teacher meant. At this moment, it was getting late, and the middle-aged man picked up the black and red spear with the faint sound of a dragon's roar beside him, and walked behind the student.
"Teacher, I wonder what you just said, even if we join forces with Shinas, we are not sure that we will be able to destroy the Black Wings - are they really that powerful, or have we ourselves been hinted at by the rumors of the 'Demon Wing Reaper'?"
The middle-aged man once again stood the spear in his hand at his side, looked at the south with no end in sight, and said, "Although there have been no new fifth-level powerhouses in this world for five hundred years, there are not a few who have fourth-level strength. In this world, if we want to make a ranking among the fourth-level powerhouses, we only need to compete for second. Because the first place will only belong to the Winged Demon Orka, who once had the strength of being a fifth-level powerhouse - this is a qualitative gap with us, so without the participation of a fifth-level powerhouse, even Orka alone can change the entire battle situation, which is why Shinas chose to lead the army in person, because only she can intervene in that kind of battle. Besides, the Winged Demon Clan's leadership style and army equipment are not something that we can expect from the human way of thinking that we are accustomed to, so we must be extremely careful to ensure an uncertain victory. ”
The southern sky had completely darkened, and the few stars were gradually brightening in the sky with residual light. The student next to the middle-aged man nodded, and left as if he didn't understand, leaving him alone in the shadow of the huge goddess statue.
A nameless gust of wind suddenly rose in the distance, and a faint wind element and dark element inexplicably appeared above the temple where almost only pure earth elements and life breath remained. The spear in the middle-aged man's hand tightened slightly, and a clear dragon roar sounded from it, and a faint dragon roar was heard in the extreme distance.
The sky darkened suddenly, and a moment later, as the starlight re-illuminated, a huge dragon appeared on the side of the magnificent Earth Temple. The thirty-meter-long huge dragon body shimmered with dark golden brilliance, and its blood-red eyes were unscrupulous and venting their anger here.
Kosol Bruce stepped lightly on the dragon's back and leaped lightly from the saddle. This was a good-looking dragon knight who didn't look much older than the middle-aged man's student, a man between a teenager and a young man. As the heir to a powerful family that once even restricted the freedom of the Holy Land in some way, and now the new patriarch of the Holy Dragon Family who was attacked by the Holy Land without warning, he is not like a character who can erupt into battle that makes everyone feel terrified. Perhaps his delicate appearance had become his disguise, allowing him to survive the attack from the inexplicable powerhouse.
A misty light flashed, and behind Kosol, a figure shrouded in black robes appeared, and a pair of huge dragon wings spread out from behind him, leaving a dark trail in the pure earth element.
"This is the last time we will see each other before we set out on the expedition, Your Highness. Kosol said coldly, then squinted at the spear in the middle-aged man's hand, "My partner has always disliked the appearance of the Coiling Dragon Seven Rush Spear, after all, the soul tempered with the soul of the seven dragons is an insult and contempt in the eyes of their fellow clansmen.
