Chapter 15: The Peak and the Loop (6)

What's her name Link?

Looking back at Alysina, seeing that she also had a ghostly expression, Neum was indeed not hallucinating herself.

Link is Befast? This ...... How is this possible!

Neam subconsciously denied it, but a sentence that Sebrion had said crossed in his mind - Dawn has broken its promise and interfered with the trajectory of fate after all!

At the time, I still felt inexplicable, but combined with Field's words and Link's attitude, it was obvious that it was not the Vampire Queen who recognized the wrong person.

"Link, you...... Is it really Befast?" A legendary figure who only exists in history books and biographies? If it weren't for the enemy, the questioning Neham would have wanted to pull Link by the collar and ask for clarification.

Arisina breathed a sigh of relief, her nerves had been tense.

With Link's help, even if the power of the Grim Reaper increases significantly, he can still hold the new capital, after all, this is the quadruple incarnation that Dawn has exchanged for a fight even if he does not hesitate to break the law.

Link's gaze looked directly at the two undead who were facing him, as if he was missing something through them, and there was a little nostalgia in his melancholy expression, but his eyes were not the slightest confused, firm and resolute.

"Don't say you don't believe me, even I, before I was sent to a past time and space, I wouldn't have thought that I had such a deep connection with the historical Befast. ”

"I didn't expect that the hairy boy I met in Grantham would grow to the point where he is now, so that Dawn will send you back to the past at the risk of being sealed off from the Nether. "The Vampire Queen snuggled up to the white skeleton of bones, and if it weren't for the fact that her eyes were as cold as ice picks, and there was no trace of emotion, one would think that she and Cyberian were a couple.

[If I could have killed you in the danger of divine punishment at that time, there would not have been so much trouble, my lord has already conquered the earthly realm. Cyberion's voice just fell. Francesca's roar rang out again.

"Isn't it ashamed to call death Lord with the gift of the dawn?

"Still so rigid, Francesca, at last willing to leave the shelter that Dawn has built for you. Sebrien's gaze shifted from Link to the archpriest who stepped out of the dimly lit church.

When they meet again more than forty years later, their identities have been radically reversed.

At that time, Julian, as the supreme leader of the Dawn Sect, enjoyed the glory of the only earthly spokesperson of the Dawn. Francesca was only the Knight of the Dawn under his seat. If it weren't for the invasion of the undead, he would never have been ordained at the age of thirty-five to become the youngest high priest in hundreds of years.

Everyone hailed Julian as the hero who turned the tide, but only Francesca, as his successor, knew what the former High Priest, who had earned the Order countless accolades, had done in that great retreat. Originally, he would have thought that this secret, which could not be said or made public, would go to the grave with him, but he did not expect that this initiator who had led to the rout of the Northern War had his eyes on Aiden again, and not only created a vicious serial scheme to smear the Order, but also had the audacity to go into battle in person. The intention is to break through the last barrier of humanity from within.

Aiden is not only the royal capital of the Silver Empire, but also gathers the last elite of the human race except for the Order, as long as he takes the new capital, it is not afraid to eat other noble lords and sporadic small resistance forces, and it is only a matter of time before he wins completely, which is why he does not hesitate to sacrifice the last killer weapon of the sages to protect the new capital. It's a pity that after thousands of calculations, I didn't calculate that Dawn has always kept Julian's stigma. Let it pass through the barrier without reinforcements from the Children of Nature. I'm afraid Neam is going to fold here.

Thinking of this, Francesca glanced at Link with a complicated expression.

It is not only the age that has changed on the surface, but the last light that belongs to humanity in his eyes has passed away, and he has become an apostle of a complete pillar. To the undead, Link is a formidable enemy with the power of its four pillars, against humans. Nor are they complete allies. The Befast in his memory was not the savior of humanity as written in the history books, but the punisher with blood-stained hands.

Like Francesca, Link's focus was always on the two Undead Lords, and he only glanced at the High Priest of Dawn who was standing side by side with him out of the corner of his eye.

Through his identity as Befast, he gained a better understanding of the priesthood of Dawn's absolute justice and order. Once the crisis of the undead is resolved. The next enemy to face is Elias, who is the same original deity as the pillar. This was something Link could never have imagined before planeswalking, when he was working hard to meet the trials of Isol, the pillar of the earth, with a desperate mentality.

The viscous and unpleasant black was penetrated by the dazzling gold, as if a hole had been pierced in the confined space, and the huge suction force sucked Link through, even the soul body could feel a strong tearing and pulling, no different from the split corpse of the five horses, and it was all supported by faith to persevere. Gonzalez, Twins, Orlando...... And the many associates who will bet their hopes on him, is the great thing that Edgar can preserve.

Before the soul body reached its limit, the huge suction force from the outside finally sucked Link out of the confined space, and the sense of ease made the whole body feel comfortable.

Wait a minute...... Whole body refreshment?

The dead silence that can drive the mad is broken by the chirping of birds, and the fragrance of plants, the smell of earth, and the dampness of living water are transmitted to the brain through the wings of the nose. Link couldn't believe his eyes as he lay on the edge of a stream, the grass beneath him was full of life, the sun shining through the lush forest, the branches were covered with spindle-shaped nests, and the cheerful chirping of birds made the whole forest seem bustling.

Not only did he regain his physical body, but he was also in the middle of a dense forest, hallucinations, or ...... Is it a trial of the pillars?

The cool touch and moisture penetrated into his skin through the arm that drooped from the stream, so real that Link had to believe that this was not an illusion, but the real world.

What's going on?

Isn't the pillar going to test me? Isn't it for me to be corroded?

Before Link could figure it out, the discomfort in his body also manifested itself as he regained consciousness. His throat was as dry as fire, and his whole body was so weak that he couldn't even move his fingers, when the sound of a rope came from the bushes behind him. Link, who was lying on the ground and couldn't move, looked behind him out of the corner of his eye, and between that was between two young men dressed in brown linen clothes emerged from the bushes more than half a man tall and looked at him in surprise.

"How is it human?"

"I said it was you who dazzled!"

Although crude, the clothes on their bodies are clearly in a standard manner, and the hunters do not wear uniforms, they are militiamen.

Link felt familiar, and couldn't remember where he had seen it.

"It's clearly a human, how can there be a deer!"

"I obviously saw it, no matter how fast it is, it is impossible to be wrong!"

"Come on, you still boast of eagle eyes, I think it's the right eye. ”

Seeing that Link had been lying on the ground and not moving, the two young men glanced at each other, one left and one right, and at the same time pulled out the short sword at his waist.

"Who are you?"

"Where did it come from?"

"Shut up, I'll ask first!"

"It's me, you parrot who can only learn words. ”

The accusations regardless of the occasion reminded Link of Yuan Ye who was far away in another time and space, and the noise between the two was really outstanding.

After waiting for a moment and still seeing no response, the man on the left boldly kicked Link with his foot, and when he saw that he was still lying on his stomach, he cautiously crouched down.

Ready to wait and see, Link closed his eyes, feigned a coma, and let the other person flip him over.

"Altyn ......"

"Aren't they living in seclusion, why did they come to Riverdale?"

"Put him down quickly, beware of deceit. ”

"What's the panic, I didn't see that this guy was injured all over his body. ”

The conversation continued, but Link's keen sense of hearing heard footsteps from farther away.

"Elwin, Becky, what did you find?"

"Yes! There's a suspicious guy here!"

With this shout, the entire patrol team that had been scattered in the dense forest gathered around. The leader of the team was a middle-aged man with a thick beard, who was getting older and older in a group of young hairy boys.

After looking up and down the suspicious guy he found, he said in an affirmative tone: "It's the Altyn from Horacio." ”

The whole team exploded suddenly, the Horacio Mountains are the closest outer area to the Pillars of Earth, unlike the Altyns elsewhere, this one has always maintained an extremely close relationship with the druids.

"Captain?" the young man who was holding Link asked with his eyes, what should this person do?

"Take it back and give it to the druids in the town's Ceremonial Temple. ”

The words "The Temple of the Soul" and the druids caught a beat in Link's heart.

Since the invasion of the undead, the Pillars of the Earth have sealed off the entire Horacio Mountains, the other two pillar gods of the druids have not been able to escape from the world, and the once blessed Temple of the Souls has lost its last role and is submerged in history.

Not only did these men mention the Temple of the Soul, but there were also druids stationed in it, and Link alone concluded that he was in the time and place of the momentβ€”near the Horacio Mountains before the Northern Campaign.

Won't it ...... It's Riverdale, right? That's the only place Link knows of a place where there is a Temple of the Dead.

Lying on a simple stretcher made of two branches and a thin blanket, it took the patrol a morning to get out of the dense forest. After walking along the river where the stream joins for a while, Link sensed that there was a large number of popular towns.

Both the time of the walk and the terrain are highly consistent with the memory, and if there is no accident, the human settlement he is about to enter is the place where he had spent the longest time in the Earth Illusion before the undead invaded the south, Riverdale. (To be continued......)
