Chapter Twenty-Four: The Temple of the Snow Mountain
Deep in the snowy mountains. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The ruined temple stood on the top of the snow-capped mountain, and the wind and snow blew in along the cracks in the temple, and the cold wind and white snow flakes soon turned into a gentle breeze, mixed with tiny petals, fluttering, and slowly falling into a pool of warm water.
The ancient circle is protecting it from wind and snow, from day and night, and the rules of the world cannot be applied to the temple, it is an independent 'realm'.
There was a girl sleeping in the jade pool, her long green hair soaked in the pool water, glowing with a faint luster, pointed ears, ruddy lips, and white skin like jade.
On the edge of the pond lay a huge demonic beast, its body occupying a third of the temple, sleeping peacefully, looking more like a giant gray cat.
The Monster Kulo squinted quietly, as if he was enjoying the breath of the temple.
The old man in the red robe was sitting in the temple, his face was very old, his face was full of folds, his white hair was pale, the skin exposed on the outside of his clothes, dark and withered, almost a layer of skin wrapped in bones, the old man was holding a wooden pole in his hand, and his eyes were slightly narrowed, if it were not in the temple, he would probably be mistaken for an old man who was basking in the sun.
The old man slowly opened his eyes, his eyeballs were cloudy and yellow, but there was an inexplicable sense of gentleness.
The flames flashed, and the flames caused Erethea to appear in front of the old man, only to see her half-kneeling down, and said respectfully to the old man, "Master, Erethea has brought him here." ”
"Well, stand down. ”
"Yes. ”
Erethea turned into flames again, leaving only a dark-haired boy on the ground.
It seemed that he had passed out in a coma, the old man looked at the young man, because of the power of the blood, the wound had healed at a speed visible to the naked eye, the skin and flesh of the burn continued to fade, and the new skin could not even see a trace of scarring, smooth as new, but after a while, the burn had recovered as before.
"The demon has disappeared from the continent for four hundred years, and in this world, there are even descendants of Tirious," the old man looked at the young man on the ground, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing an appreciative gaze: "The purity of the bloodline is nearly sixty percent, and it is a good seedling." ”
Kuro woke up and opened his eyes, and purple vertical pupils fell on the boy.
The white light lit up around Kuluo's body, and the huge demonic beast body turned into countless white lights, and the light fell one after another, and the demonic beast lord of the Great Snow Mountain turned into a young man in white, with short gray hair, dark purple pupils, and a somewhat sickly pale skin.
The young man in white said: "I advise you to kill him, he is running wild on the frozen tundra, and he will be even more unable to control the demon bloodline in the future, if the demon can't control his own power, sooner or later he will degenerate into a monster." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Kulo, you have to learn to be a little more patient, this kid is an incomplete demon, he still has a human heart...... What happens when the seeds of demons are planted in humans, since ancient times, the blood of humans has never been fused with demons, the world is changing little by little, and we can't stop it. ”
Kulo sneered, "Change, from the main god to the human world, and lose the godhead, is this what you want?"
The old man said: "It is precisely because of my fall that this world needs some strength even more, Kulo, he is not strong enough, he needs more time to sharpen." ”
Kuro said in annoyance, "He's too weak, Kuro doesn't like it." ”
"So, if I sent you to protect him until he gained great power, would you agree?"
"No kidding! Without my protection, relying only on the power of the four elemental envoys, you can be killed by the enemy at any time!"
"God cannot come to earth to kill my enemies, and the world has not yet appeared. ”
"I'm the Lord of the Great Snow Mountain, why should I protect a child!"
"But you also look like a child!Kulo, you also need to go to the human world to train yourself," the old man said, "In the name of the superior god, I ask for the help of the Lord of the Great Snow Mountain." ”
"I don't need to be trained, I'm already very strong!"
"Train your heart, not your strength, Kuro, you're too young...... Sooner or later, this world will change, if we stick to the Great Snow Mountain, if we remain unchanged, one day we will drown in the torrent of time, humanity will become stronger and stronger, and among the humans you don't know, there will be a 'Sword Master', a 'Great Magister' who will exert the power of magic to the limit, they all have the power close to the gods, you need to understand, Kulo, our strength is too weak. ”
"This kind of demon who can't even control his own strength, even if he grows up, what can he do!"
"Yes, you haven't seen it clearly, although he is only a child now, but one day, this child will become even more powerful than you, among the countless demonic powers, only this child...... Only him, its power is destruction. ”
"No way, the only demon with the power of destruction is dead!"
"Even if it's just a flame, one day it will turn into a hellfire, believe me, Kuro. The old man said: "If it is not destruction, why would they be with 'life', fate prompted them to come together, this is the fate dominated by the creator god, we can't speculate." ”
Kulo glanced at the sleeping elven girl in the pool and said, "This girl does have the breath of the elven goddess Leah, but this alone is not enough to convince me. ”
The old man smiled.
He let go of his cane, opened his hands, and two white rays of energy poured into Sido and Alvin's bodies respectively, and a wisp of black energy slowly floated out of Sido's body, this energy was plain and unremarkable, and was steadily wrapped in white light. The green energy extracted from Alvin's body began to sprout buds and branches and leaves the moment they appeared, and the large branches and leaves quickly formed a thick tree...... At this time, the green energy and the black energy collided, and the originally calm black energy suddenly turned into flames and swallowed the trees, and the two forces collided in the air for a moment, turning into nothingness.
Kuro stared at the wisp of vanishing power and pouted unhappily.
"What do you want me to do?"
"Go to the human world and you will find that this time is different from ours, it is constantly changing and evolving, and trust me, this journey will not disappoint you. A ray of light floated out of the old man's palm, turning into a five-pointed star spell and falling on Kuluo's eyebrows: "I have temporarily sealed your power, and after leaving the Great Snow Mountain, you will become a mortal." ”
Kulo touched his forehead nonchalantly, the black pentagram was engraved on his pale skin, this seal that he hadn't noticed now, had driven him crazy many times in the future, and even Curo wanted to curse the old man with straw men, cursing, and parasitic birthday for the wizard.
Kuro asked, "When will I be back?"
The old man said: "Maybe it's a long time, or maybe it's just a few years, I can't predict what will happen in the future." ”
"I don't want to guard a demon for the rest of my life, to be honest, I don't like demons at all," Kuro said dissatisfiedly, "Ten years, I must return to the Great Snow Mountain." ”
"Yes, promise. ”
White light emanated from the old man's hand, implicating Kulo on one side and Sido on the other.
The old man said: "I would like to sign a contract for you in the name of the Great Snow Mountain, and I will use blood as the contract...... Two drops of blood flew out, blended together, and emitted a white light: "From today on, Kulo, the lord of the Great Snow Mountain, has made a contract with the son of the demon, and ten years later, Kulo will return to the Great Snow Mountain." ”
"Why don't you tell me about the contents of the contract?"
"A unilateral contract, no obligation to be fulfilled, your duty is to protect and supervise the child. ”
"What if he turns into a monster?"
"Do what you think is right, don't ask me. ”
The old man pinched two rays of light in his palm, which fell on the foreheads of Sido and Alvin, and as the light fell, the two children opened their eyes and woke up.
Unlike Alvin, the first thing Sido did when he sat up was to give the old man a punch.
The lord of the Great Snow Mountain, the Demon Beast Kulo, was stunned, and this little ghost knocked the old man to the ground with a punch, and quickly pounced on it, shouting, "Give Alvin back to me!"
Kuro covered his face, thinking to himself what an idiot this was.
The elven girl looked at him silently by the pool, silent.
However, the old man who was pressed to the ground took a breath, a rare smile appeared on his face, and said: "It looks like this is still a good child, so with the punch just now, I will assume that you are willing to sign this contract." The white light lit up, and a contract between Kuro and Sido was hastily concluded.
"What a contract! What are you talking about......" Sido was surprised to find himself floating, and the tentacles of the white light lifted him up and flung him out.
With a pop, it luckily landed in the jade pool
"Stinky old man, how dare you ...... Alwyn!" The young man who struggled out of the water saw the girl in front of him clearly, he pinched his face in disbelief, and after realizing that it was not an illusion, he jumped up and hugged the girl tightly: "I knew, I knew you wouldn't die, you are an elf!"
"Sido...... Breathless...... "Elf's face flushed.
"I'm sorry, I'm so happy, I ...... if I'm not careful" Sido quickly let go of his hand and smiled a little embarrassed: "I didn't mean to." ”
Alwyn blushed and did not speak.
However, Kulo by the pool snorted, as if he was very dissatisfied with the signatory of the contract.
"It's always a joy to get together, but it's better to put some things later," the old man patted Kulo on the shoulder with his blackened and withered hand, and said, "Let me first introduce your new partner, Kulo, the lord of the Great Snow Mountain, the Demon Beast, who is really a cat." ”
"Who do you say is a cat!" said Kuro fried on the spot.
"Isn't it? I'm sorry that I've been thinking you were a cat for hundreds of years...... Don't bite me!"
"You're the one who bites!"
Worshiped by the world, the gods of faith, even crawled to the distance, the gray-haired boy bit his sleeve to death, walking and jumping, more like the grandfather and grandson who were playing, these two people together don't know how many thousand years old, and they are still playing like children, it's really a little unbelievable.
Sido and Alwin came out of the pool, their soaked clothes quickly losing their moisture, and droplets of water floated in the air and slowly fell into the jade pool.
Sido was stunned by the vision in front of him, and Alwin took his hand and said, "Sido, where are we?"
"Ahem, ahem!"
There was a dry cough from behind the old man, and the two children turned around and saw the old man straighten his clothes and throw the gray-haired boy he was carrying at their feet.
"You should have a lot of questions, for the sake of time, I can't answer them all for you, maybe in a few years, you will come back here, children, I have to hurry to the back mountain to eat...... No, practice magic, this teleportation circle will send you to the Frost Valley, oh yes, Kurlo, get along with them. ”
"Wait, you just said ...... eating"
"You must have misheard," the old man interrupted Sido, urging the magic, and a calm smile appeared on his face, "Children, fate will come eventually, and I look forward to the day when I will see you again." ”
The teleportation circle lit up at the feet of the three of them, and before they could say anything, a strong white light surrounded them, and the force field created by the magic quickly formed...... Take them to another strange place.
