Chapter 9: The Dark Tide Surges

The Immortal City, a city protected by the gods, has stood alone on the Divine Blessed Continent for more than 6,000 years. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The city is shrouded in a huge arc of light, and only humans can enter and exit safely. The monsters living in the land of the land will be wiped out by the power of divine punishment as soon as they touch the light shield.

A long river hundreds of meters wide flowed from the south side of the city, and after a hundred miles deep in the Immortal City, branched into several meandering tributaries, covering most of the area of the Immortal City, and then converged on the north side of the city, returning to the embrace of the land of the land.

The light shield protects human beings from the monsters of the land, and this long river gave birth to human civilization.

They are each reverently called: the Wall of Eternity, the River of Divine Grace.

A magnificent Great Wall, joined end to end, forming a huge circular ribbon that divides the Immortal City into two concentric circles.

The small circle wrapped by the Great Wall is the dwelling place of the upper class of the immortal city, which is called the "upper district", and the area between the outer side of the Great Wall and the wall of eternity is the dwelling of the poor, called the "lower district".

According to legend, the Wall of Eternity did not cover such a vast area as it does today, and the ancient humans built the Great Wall next to the Wall of Eternity out of fear of the land, but now it has become a tool for humans to divide their people into two classes.

I don't know if the ancestors had spirits, and would feel a little sad when they saw such a scene.

A majestic mountain towers in the center of the upper district, and the Flame Protector See, a symbol of divine power, is hidden in this forested mountain.

It was considered the closest place to the sun, and even the royal family of the Immortal City had no right to enter the mountain gate of the Fire Protector without permission.

The silver dove banner, which symbolizes purity and divine power, spreads all over every corner of the mountain, and under all the banners, there must be a master of the Fire Protection Sect guarding here, vigilant for every existence that may invade the Fire Protection Church.

At the very top of the mountain, a pure white cathedral sits the heart of the Holy See: the Cathedral of the Holy Fire.

Even if you look at it from afar, you can also appreciate the sacredness and grandeur of this Holy See, and I don't know how many skilled craftsmen have put in the construction of this cathedral to make this church so solemn and beautiful.

Enter the main entrance of the Chapel of the Holy Fire and pass through a winding cloister where the Basilica Sanctuary is located.

Warm sunlight streamed through the openwork glass, and the sunlight turned into rainbow rainbows, dappled on the obsidian surface.

"Abigail, you're back. An old man with a rickety figure, dressed in white fine clothes, sat on a magnificent throne in the middle of the temple, his face obscured by a wide hood of tunics.

Behind the shrine, there is a tall stone wall, and 10,000 and 10,000 lanterns are neatly placed in the lattice on the surface of the stone wall.

But if you look closely, many of the lights have been extinguished, and less than a tenth of them are still burning.

"Yes, Pope Austin. Abigail knelt down reverently, and with him knelt down was Cardinal Neil, but he was not at all as calm as Abigail, but with a look of trepidation.

"Abigail, before you came back, I heard about a great event, and I wonder if you understand what I'm talking about. ”

Austin's voice was vaguely displeased.

Before Abigail could answer, Neil took the lead and said loudly, "The Lord God is above, Neil is guilty!"

With that, he tried his best to arch his body, his face pressed tightly to the ground, and his two slightly trembling palms were spread upward, making a begging posture.

"Hmph!" Austin sneered, "Guilty! You just said guilty after letting go of the royal family of the ruined ancient city!"

Neil didn't dare to say another word, and kept his previous position, only trembling more violently.

"It's been a long time since I've dedicated my life to the great Lord God...... Austin said faintly, waving his hand slightly, and the two guards standing on either side of him nodded knowingly.

"No, Your Holiness Pope! no! no!" Neil scrambled to his feet, his features contorted in utter fear.

Two guards came to his side, violently lifted the poor fat man, and dragged him out of the temple gates.

"Your Excellency, Pope!" Abigail saw this, and hurriedly wanted to say something.

"To be by the side of the Lord God for eternity is the highest honor for anyone. Austin stopped Abigail from speaking in his gruff and unquestioning voice.

"Forgive me, Pope, Pope, Pope, ......"

Neil's voice faded away, and the heavy doors of the temple slowly closed with a deafening sound.

Dead silence, when the door was closed, there was only a dead silence left in the temple.

Austin, the enigmatic man, who is said to have never seen his true face, acted cruelly and resolutely, and presumably the purpose of executing Neil was to give me a warning

Abigail thought silently.

"Abigail!" Austin was the first to break the silence, "why did you let go of that self-proclaimed immortal king?"

"Your Excellency, it's not that I want to let him go, it's that there's nothing I can do. Abigail said.

"You're lying!"

"Abigail won't lie!"

Abigail stubbornly raised his head, his eyes fixed on Austin's face hidden in the darkness.

Austin was silent again, and after a long time, he said slowly:

"Abigail, I only hope that you will not be blinded by superfluous things. ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. ”

Austin stood up, he paced slowly, and began to face the ten thousand and one lanterns and fell into deep thought, at this time, the sudden scene made his whole body tense instantly:

Another ever-bright light, extinguished!

"Abigail, the elite of the Holy See is whatever you want, and you must bring that bug back to the Fire Protector Holy See within half a year!" Seeing this sudden scene, Austin's voice became a little more anxious.

"Everyone else in the Ten Blades except you has already started to act for this matter!"

Abigail gasped and let out all the blades!

Since the establishment of the Fire Protector Sect, even if something big has happened, no ten blades have acted at the same time.

Now for only one person, he has used the strongest combat power of the Fire Protector Sect!

"The royal family of the ruined ancient city is so important to the Fire Protector Holy See?" Abigail asked after calming down.

Austin didn't look back at Abigail, but only let out a long sigh.

"Stand down, if you fail, you should understand the consequences. ”

Abigail answered and slowly exited the temple, and when the temple doors closed again, Austin sat down on the throne tiredly.

Under the dappled glimmer of light, he muttered to himself in a dejected manner:

Abigail ...... That person is more than important......"

..................

Obviously shining by the warm sun, Xia Yu shivered.

"Why stop, keep doing, don't stop until you do it 5,000 times. Seeing Xia Yu's stunned appearance, Sifu pursed her lips dissatisfied.

"I didn't say I was going to stop. Xia Yu muttered complainingly, and continued to lean down helplessly.

"That's what it sounds like, or I'm going to treat you in some extreme way. ”

Hearing the words "extreme way" in Xifu's mouth, Xia Yu shivered again and hurriedly struggled to move.

Fifteen days had passed since she left the Pioneer Quarry, and the night before the previous seven days, Xia Yu had finally arrived at the secret base that Siv had put in his mouth.

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, even if it was a dream, Xia Yu would not have thought that the so-called secret base would be in such a place.

It was originally a dark swamp with poisonous gas composed of thick smoke, but when Xia Yu reluctantly walked into this place under the persecution of Sif, the surrounding scenery changed into another world:

A small thatched hut with a simple single bed made of bamboo, a small field planted with all kinds of exotic plants, and a small pond with crystal clear bottoms, in which a few transparent fish swim happily.

The so-called poisonous swamp turned out to be an illusion created by Sif's magic!

Sif told Xia Yu that she and Yulia had lived together in this place for three years, and all this was done to find out where Xia Yu was.

Xia Yu thought at first that he could rest for a while, but what happened after that could be called a nightmare for him.

5,000 push-ups, 5,000 sit-ups, and all sorts of bizarre exercises, in addition to five hours of rest every night, the rest of the time is spent running in this small space, eating only the unpalatable herbs grown in the garden for three meals a day.

Fortunately, after experiencing the inheritance of burning salary, Xia Yu has a much stronger body than before, otherwise he would have been tired.

Like an overseer, Sif pays close attention to Xia Yu's every move, and whenever Xia Yu wants to leave the stall, Sif will inject a terrible toxin into Xia Yu's body!

It was a toxin that made people itch all over their bodies, and even Xia Yu, who was very strong, only supported it for less than five seconds before he hurriedly begged for mercy loudly.

Demons, night elves are really like the rumors, all of them are demons, and the pitiful appearance before is definitely pretended!

This is Xia Yu's conclusion.

"What, it seems that you are not satisfied?" Sifu flew up to Xia Yu and smiled evilly, pulling Xia Yu back to reality from his memories.

"No, I'm very satisfied!" Xia Yu didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly replied.

"Okay, seeing that you have a good attitude, I'll let you go and take a break. ”

Xia Yu breathed a sigh of relief as if he had been amnestied.

"Well, because the coming days are long, I think this kind of life will last for a year and a half!" Sifu said softly, but her ears raised high revealed the true emotions in her heart, "O Immortal King, what you have experienced now is only beginner, practice, and practice. ”

It's a beginner's exercise......

After hearing this, Xia Yu showed an expression of lovelessness, he looked at the sky, and could only swallow the bitter water into his stomach......

The Immortal King, it's really hard to do!
