Chapter 547: Stolen Relic

Elle was the first to question. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"All these stories you are talking about are just myths and legends."
"But the images you show us are from your memories?"
Her Royal Highness is an expert in magic, and she has long since analyzed what kind of magic the giants are using and how to manipulate it.
And it was precisely because of understanding the principle of this magic that Ellie felt strange.
"We are stones"
"But at the same time life"
The eyes of the King of Giants were fixed on us, but there was no sparkle in his eyes, just two stones.
He can imitate our body movements, but he can't imitate the eye contact between us ordinary creatures.
"The torrent has given us everything"
"When we die, everything we return to the torrent"
Oh...... Everything, that is to say, memories of life, knowledge mastered, magic learned, and even character traits, will be attributed to the torrent.
Then another stone is drilled into the torrent.
No wonder, the self-proclaimed 'newborn' giant named Gizelle, who had never seen Ellie, said he remembered the torrent of scorched earth elves.
"So the memory of that great catastrophe has been passed down among you giants for countless centuries?"
The giant shook his head, rejecting my claim.
"The torrent only appeared in this world after that great catastrophe, so we don't have any memories of it"
The giant turned around and walked on.
Until now, we had been walking in this endless corridor for about ten minutes, and I can't remember how many stairs we went down.
"Is the effect of the 'time' of the holy relic so long?"
"No...... It's just that in the scars of this world, time passes much slower."
Oh, it's an ordinary setting, but thanks to this kind of convenience in any fantasy drama, we were able to talk for so long.
"The torrent created us to prevent further encroachment on the last remaining corner of this world"
The surrounding picture changed, and the tall murals told the battles.
A battle between a giant and a sea monster.
For a long time, the Baishu Sea Cliffs protected the last piece of land in the Aurora World.
"At the same time, we will also collect relics scattered on land, which are potentially deadly"
Relic?
At this point, the surrounding images disappear, and the four walls of the cave change from illusory light and shadow to real walls.
I still can't tell if it's just an image or a real thing, but at least it looks much more comfortable.
It's like a museum, with large holes dug into the walls, some as large as rooms, and dense enchantments like glass walls.
There seems to be something on display inside.
"Look at that!"
Uh, it's disgusting, the tentacles of the sea monster, even if they are cut off, do not die, and even occasionally squirm.
In one of the front compartments was something that looked like ice cubes, solidified into a perfect square, and in the further compartment was a spider-like creature.
It seems that everything in this museum is the same, strange, and none of them can be named by Ellie.
But the little guy is not interested in these things at all.
At first, I thought Elle would sneak one or two out of the way, but the little guy didn't even have that idea in his mind.
Even a curious, arrogant mage like Ellie, who likes to collect magical gadgets, is keenly aware that every piece in this collection is in mortal danger.
"Ahh
The little one pointed to the front with a wooden gesture, seeing something familiar for the first time since he began to browse through these so-called treasure trove collections.
Well, it's familiar, it's not familiar at all, but I've only seen it in the magic book of the White Wooden Tower-
Huge teeth and jawbones, sharp horns, and skulls with a bright red sheen.
The skull of a dragon.
"This is the last thing we put in the treasure trove"
The giant also stopped, as if trying to answer Ellie's doubts, and began to tell the origin of the bone.
"His former name was Goragoni Bloodscales"
Oh, I know the name.
One of the most famous dragons in the world of Aurora.
The last dragon king, the dragon surnamed Bloodscale, has always possessed the most powerful magical powers, and is the top creature standing in the Aurora world.
In the Battle of the Dragon, he was killed by the combined army of all the other races in the Aurora World, and since then, there have been no more dragons in the Aurora World.
Until Sruka reappeared on the continent.
"Golagoni was not killed"
"Huh?"
It seems that the giant knows something different from what is written in the books.
"The power of the mighty Dragon King is unmatched even by all of us"
Wow!
The phrase 'all of us' made the giant's words convincing, after all, Brixington, who inherited the giant's ancient memories, actually participated in the dragon slaying war back then!
"He was the last enemy to fall, but not killed by us"
The King of Giants looked up at the great dragon bone, and could see the uneasiness in his stone countenance.
"Golagoni curses all his enemies with his own blood"
"He curses that we will never be able to receive the bounty of the Aurora World, that the lost mana cannot be replenished from the torrent, that the lost stamina cannot be obtained from food, and that the depleted spirit cannot be restored even in sleep"
"The blood of the dragon forms a red cloud that covers the entire continent"
"The curse of Golagoni has dealt a great blow to all races, even more so than the direct damage caused by the war"
"In the end, we had to take his wreckage back into this chasm, and the rest of his life could be saved."
The giant's face was filled with fear, and it was precisely because his memory would not erase that the curse of Golagoni could leave such a heavy shadow on his heart.
"Uh, then then ......"
In order to pull the giant's emotions back from grief and horror, I hastened to bring up another topic.
"What the hell did the humans steal?"
The King of Giants glanced back at us, as if he had examined the three of us one last time.
A human named Issadur, an elven princess, and an elven queen.
"Right ahead"
Once again, the giant took another step, and the landscape around us changed.
As if standing on a conveyor belt, the seemingly endless corridor began to retreat rapidly.
Brush -
There was a feeling of motion sickness, but we finally stopped.
There is a large hole in the wall next to it that is identical to the rest of the storage room, except that it is not protected by an enchantment.
"The stolen things were stored here"
"A Relic Left Behind by the Winged Clan"
The giant stood in front of the wall and turned to face us, as if a lawyer was accusing us.
"Winged?"
I don't understand, there are no such creatures in the Aurora World, which means that they used to be creatures like witches, who came here from another world.
But it's strange why their stories aren't recorded in the Dawn Mountains books?
Ellie patted me on the shoulder.
"Probably that"
Following Ellie's thoughts, I also looked back at the wall on the other side of the cave, and the huge paintings depicted on it seemed to tell the story of the sacred relics that existed here.
Anyway, it's-
"Angel!?"
The golden armor, pure white wings, the long hair that flashed with thunder and lightning in her hands, and the long golden hair that covered her face, made it impossible for me to see the creature's appearance clearly.
But the pale golden light above her head that blended into the mural still flickered, and that halo was clearly an angel from human mythology.
Judging by the appearance of the armor, a woman.
And the one who is fighting with her is the dragon in the Aurora world.
The dragons in the sky, and the 'Pillar of the World', the mountain peak that rises straight into the sky.
"What the hell is this...... What's going on?"
