Chapter 30: Flowers Blooming in the Abyss
Yuri could clearly feel the Regent's arrogance moving away, and his hair, which had been raised high by his vindictiveness, would once again be wet and sticky, and he would rest limply on his shoulders. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Prince Kayl held out his hand to him: "Uncle Wang, you still have a chance to rectify all this. If you can show up in front of everyone and tell everyone that you're alive, you can cut off the hatred. ”
The princess said quietly, "Lord Regent, I am also a messenger of peace, and I can empathize with what happened to Miss Ruth Bell. Perhaps her father would not be glad to have ruined the little peace she had bought with his life. ”
A great sense of guilt swept over him, and the remaining anger in the Regent's heart was as fragile as a small bonfire lit on the shore of a tsunami. The weapon landed, and he didn't know that he had been angrily asking why the world had brought such misfortune to his daughter, and now there was only one voice in his head.
When did I start on such a path?
The regent recalls how his fame plummeted after leading a failed campaign. He didn't expect that in the eyes of the subjects of the whole country, he would be even more unbearable than the king's brother who was mediocre and could only make the country poor and weak.
And the elder brother's son Khail thrived, and when he was a teenager, he was hailed as the star of hope in the Hazy Moon Forest.
According to the rules of the Moon Elves, both the royal brother and the prince have the right to inherit the throne, and they are appointed by the best of them. The regent understands that with the current momentum, it is absolutely impossible for a brother to end up as a brother, and the next king must be Prince Kayer, who will inherit his father's business.
Just when he was at a loss, for unknown reasons, he got a fairy tale book that looked very old.
Turning over the gilded cover, the book was so old that even the yellowed pages were incomplete, and only many strokes of unknown meaning remained.
Except for the sentence on the title page.
If you are willing to give your blood, you will see the path of hope.
If you are willing to pay any price, you will end up with the world in your hands.
At first, the regent threw the inexplicably broken fairy tale book aside, but on a stormy night, the ghost took out a dagger and slashed it in the palm of his hand. Although the text in the book does not explicitly state that this is the case, it seems that the regent knew that this was what the blood was about.
The blood soaked the book, turned into red handwriting to make up for the strange strokes, and the words were reproduced, and the regent felt his blood rush after a skimming of it.
What is written above is how through an ancient ritual, a human girl in despair was given access to a miracle worker who could satisfy all his desires.
In short, this book is "The Black Witch's Guide to Making".
Although the process of the ancient ritual may seem evil, the Lord Regent still chooses to carry it out to the end.
So he secretly excavated the dark abyss and built a huge underground fortification on top of it.
At the same time, he secretly colluded with the bandits of Holy Thorn City to carry out illegal activities such as kidnapping and human trafficking.
Eventually, the Witch in Black was able to appear.
She uses her endless magic power to bring a succession of miracles to the regent, satisfying all his desires.
Power, status, popularity, the power of anger, wars for revenge on the world, and even a strong body that can survive even if its heart is pierced.
Yes, all got.
And now the regent suddenly looked back, and suddenly remembered the two sentences that were readable in the fairy tale book at the beginning.
So is the daughter who returned to the sky in a foreign land one of the "any price" he paid for this?
The Regent's eyes were sunken, his head was clutched, and he staggered back, sitting on the dilapidated steps of the laboratory, in panic and deep thought.
If he could go back in time, he knew that Ruth Bell was the price he had to pay, and he would definitely not hesitate to tear that fairy tale book in half.
Yuri knew that this pathetic uncle, fueled by anger, had lost the motivation to continue fighting.
Kayl knew that the regent was definitely not a good man, but he was willing to give all the kindness of his life to his daughter. He had no reason to hate it now.
But the princess stretched out her hand to the regent, squinted her eyes gently, and said: "The past cannot be reversed, but as a father, you still have the opportunity to protect the peace that Ruth Bell once guarded, and maybe one day, you can meet her again as a sun elf." Yuri is right, the lives of the Tree People rotate like the sun and the moon, so that the Sun Elves and the Moon Elves know that they value each other. ”
The Regent had witnessed the girl's hard journey for ten years, and today he suddenly discovered that she had a special sense of intimacy because she had a fate similar to that of Ruth Bell, which made the Lord Regent unable to harden his heart and silently extend his hand to Princess Flora.
"Alright, I'll go back to the surface with you. ”
However, at the moment when the hands of the two people touched, a light purple teleportation circle flashed in the air, and the black-clothed witch goddess fiercely jumped out of the circle, glancing at her enemies with hatred, grabbing back the regent's outstretched right hand, pulling him into the teleportation circle and escaping.
At the same time, at the moment of disappearing, the black-clothed witch threw out more than a dozen crystals that condensed the magic of darkness, and Prince Kayl was shocked and shouted: "Oh no, as long as these crystals fall to the ground, they will cause a big explosion!"
In desperation, the princess desperately summoned the hidden space, kicked the prince in, and immediately grabbed Yuri's hand and jumped into the hidden space with him.
In the next instant, purple flames and blasts erupted at the same time, and the underground laboratory was completely destroyed.
The princess couldn't stay in the hidden space for a long time, she gritted her teeth and desperately maintained the space magic, estimating that the explosion was over, so she and her friends returned to reality. The three men jumped out of the hidden space, but did not land on solid ground. The explosion blew through the lab floor, and there was a huge hole under the floor, and the three teenagers fell down in panic, and the burning laboratory turned into a point of light flickering high in the blink of an eye.
The princess has always secretly used the abyss to describe this huge underground fortification, but the depth of the three layers of the underground garden, the hypocritical paradise and the biological laboratory combined cannot be compared to the place where it fell at this moment.
In the end, the place they arrived at was called the real abyss.
In this abyss, the probabilities of time and space are completely erased, and light and darkness are tangled and mixed, and finally mixed into chaos. In the narrow corridor of the purple crystal mine, from time to time, the crying resentful spirit of a girl appeared on the reflective surface of the crystal, but when he looked back, it suddenly turned into a light mist of color and disappeared without a trace. The further you go in, the more complicated the sound becomes, the innocent laughter of girls, the crisp sound of shackles dragging and dragging, the echoes of desperate wails and whipping, but all this seems to be just the remnants of this amethyst walkway, this place has turned into a narrow space between the Yellow Spring and the present world, and the only real physical existence is the black steam that erupts from time to time, mixed with a strong sulfur smell.
What finally appears at the end of the amethyst aisle is a prison. Although the mine appears to be thousands of years old, the prison is new, and the rust has not completely worn away the steel markings, which means that the prison is only a dozen years old at most.
"This must be the Regent's masterpiece. Yuri looked at the undissipated blood stains on the prison walls with resentment.
"I didn't expect there to be such a deep pit beneath Muntia. Prince Kayl frowned, "How did Uncle Wang know about things that even Gu didn't know? This place is full of strong evil spirits, almost going straight to hell, who he is locked up here, and what does he want to do?" ”
There are more than a dozen floors of the prison here, and the princess seems to have received some kind of guidance, and she walks to the confined space at the bottom with a blank look, and says blankly: "This kind of place is actually blooming." ”
Yuri warily tightened his sword and told the princess that the flowers that bloomed in such a place should never be touched with a cheap hand. But when he went to the cell himself, he found that it was just an ordinary potato flower.
That's right, it's the purple flowers of a plant called potatoes that he has been eating since he was a child, and he knows it all too well. It grows quietly on the light of the amethyst ore in the reflective soil, and through this little light, it blooms tenaciously and unyieldingly in the narrow space of hell.
Yuri and the prince looked at each other, not knowing what this strange situation meant, but the tears in the princess's empty eyes slipped uncontrollably into two shallow streams on her cheeks, and she clutched her chest and said, "For some reason, I came to this place and felt very familiar...... And very sad. ”
She began to walk briskly, as if she had her own guidance, as if the princess had arrived at this place in a dream of the past, and she could always find a flower blooming in a pool of blood in the chaotic path of the prison, then a wheat plant blooming on the bank of the lava river, then a pea seedling so smoked by the sulfur that it was almost invisible, and even a watermelon growing vigorously around the mass grave, the princess ran forward, and the tears could not be stopped, and at the end of the corridor she saw an altar overgrown with weeds and common crops, on which a light shone brightly。
Yuri and the prince did not dare to slack off, and followed the princess's footsteps to the altar, only to see that the floor was glass, and they could see a dark red arc flickering from time to time under the altar, and a rapidly rotating black vortex. With just one glance, Yuri and the prince felt a sense of discomfort that had been taken away from their senses, and an inexplicable sense of nothingness that made their tails churn, as if they didn't need any evidence to feel that there was some extremely dark being hidden in this vortex, and that it was no longer here.
