Chapter 32: The Absolute Light
I could feel that I was alive, but my body was not under the control of my consciousness, or perhaps my consciousness was wandering in my body. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I could hear people outside calling out to me, even crying, but I couldn't respond to them.
I could feel the scorching heat, burning as if I was imprisoned in a forge.
I could perceive that the blood flowing through my body was no longer bright red, but mixed with black, becoming dark red and cloudy, as if invaded by a stream of black magma. The tiny veins around them begin to break down, but then heal. I knew it was my blood that saved me.
I could feel the two veins in my body that had been mutually repellent beginning to contain each other, twisting together like two ropes against the black invasion. But even so, it still can't shake the black dominance.
Now, I feel tired, and the long river of wandering in my body is over. Every day, boredom is worse than pain, but at least it proves that I'm alive......
"Deer...... Let's go grab a bite to eat. A gentle voice called softly.
Lu'er sat on the edge of a specially made large bed, a bed with a hollow center filled with liquid, and in the center of the bed lay a teenager covered in bruises and blood, which was the same as the sky that had taken the black dragon crystal in order to save Janie. At this time, his eyes were closed, his slightly bulging eyelids were dark, and his cheeks had lost a lot of weight because he had not eaten for many days.
Lu'er's face was haggard, two tear stains were clearly visible, and the blue eyes never left him.
"No, sister, I'm waiting for Brother Xiaokong to wake up. Until then, he needs to be accompanied. ”
Jenny glanced at the unconscious Sky with a deep guilt in her eyes, the boy had voluntarily gone to destruction because he had saved himself. These days, she also learned some information about the dragon crystal, the black crystal is the crystallization of the black young dragon's nutrient solution in the dragon egg, that is, the initial form of the black flame, it is something for the dragon to take a powerful life force creature, he is a human body can not withstand this powerful energy at all? I heard the great doctor in the clan say that he was lucky that he did not die because of this, but if he wants to wake up, he can only rely on the cold magic of the ice elf to drive away the poison of the black flame in his body.
"You haven't eaten in two days. The Great Doctor doesn't mean that Young Master Qingkong won't be able to wake up in a while...... "Jenny looked at her lovingly, Lu'er had been watching him here since Qingkong was unconscious, and no one could persuade her to leave here.
"I can feel it...... Feeling his words in his heart, he was about to wake up. Lu'er replied stubbornly.
Faced with Lu'er's almost fantastical answer, Jenny was helpless, she didn't know what to do to restore Lu'er to her previous liveliness and happiness, her mother had come, scholars and healers had also come, but no one could let her out of the haze. In fact, she knew that someone could, looking at the boy on the bed, but it was basically impossible.
Jenny wanted to try, but the door behind her suddenly opened, and it turned out to be her father.
The head of the Belle family is dressed in a silk robe of gold and turquoise, and an elk with yellow light is embroidered on his chest. But his resolute face was a little dull, and there were even a few more wrinkles of sorrow than a few days ago. The Dark Coalition has wreaked havoc in the Forest of the Cloud Forest, and cooperation with the Tulin family has been blocked, and the beloved daughter has gone on a hunger strike due to grief...... All of this made the patriarch of this ancient family more and more emaciated. He looked at the untouched food on the table, and the sorrow in his eyes deepened. He knew that no matter who persuaded his daughter at this time, he would not be able to listen to it, and he had to think of other ways, and if necessary, he might need to use coercive means.
"This kid deserves my daughter's hunger strike for me. Belle said as he looked at the dark sky with his eyes closed.
Jane was puzzled by the unexpected words, and she thought that her father would come here to persuade the deer to eat, but he did not do it directly.
"Father, I'm sorry, I ......" Lu'er turned her head and her sad eyes were heartbreaking, "Brother Xiaokong can't eat, and I can't help it." I tried, but ...... But...... Sorry ......"
The toughness of Belle's heart was crushed by this fragile voice, he really didn't know how to get her out of this extremely low state at this time, the importance of Qingkong to her was beyond his imagination.
There was another sound of footsteps outside the door, and Belle turned around, and it turned out to be Fang Suo standing in the door with a strange expression.
"What's wrong?" Belay knew that Fonso wouldn't be here to see him if it wasn't for something important.
"Yes...... It's a university scholar who is here, and I want to see you......" Fang Suo replied with some disapproval.
"Caton University?" Bellé noticed that Fang Suo, who had always been calm, suddenly panicked. He was the most promising young man in the clan, and he had already passed the time when he was in a panic, so he was a little puzzled, and even if the Caton University scholars wanted to see him, they would not be so excited.
Fang Suo found that the patriarch was confused, only to realize that his expression was a little incomplete, so he adjusted and continued: "It's not Caton University, it's Mu Yuan...... He ...... He asks to see you. ”
"Who?" said this sentence like a bolt from the blue, Belle asked suspiciously.
Lu'er, who was sitting on the edge of Qingkong's bed, also turned her head sharply when she heard the news, her eyelids and mood trembled together, she knew that if there was anyone in this world who could save Qingkong, it must be Muyuan University, but he had not been given by that group of demons...... After they fled, no one knew what had happened in that forest, and she and Sky could only guess that the scholar had died. And now I suddenly heard the name, as if I saw light in the darkness of despair.
"Scholar of Makibuchi University. Fang Suo said it very simply.
"Are you sure it's him?"
Fang Suo had not met the scholars of Muyuan University, and Belle could not determine whether what he said was true.
"He seems to expect you to ask, so let me tell you something. He used to help you improve your transfiguration when you were younger, and he ......"
"Needless to say, it's indeed a scholar of Muyuan University," the suspicion on Bailai's face subsided, these things were known only to him, and he had indeed reached the extreme of the illusion technique with the help of the scholars of Muyuan University.
"Where's the scholar of Muyuan? I'll go see him now. "There must be something important about the appearance of the scholar at this time, and he is now facing a bunch of imminent matters that need his help, just like he did when he was a child.
"The university scholars were waiting outside. ”
"Oh, let him in. ”
For some reason, Belle had a strange feeling that the university scholar would come straight here, and what did he already know?
Fonso stepped back quickly, and Belle looked at his little daughter, for she and Sky had told him the sad news that had brought him grief, but the person involved in the bad news had reappeared. But Lu'er responded to herself with a surprised expression, and she only knew the news that was both surprised and happy.
The footsteps returned, and a gray old man in a green robe walked in calmly.
As soon as the eyes of Belle and Lu'er swept over, they recognized that it was none other than the most learned man in the world, the scholar of Muyuan University. Lu'er's excited expression was overflowing, but at the same time, he was suspicious...... She found that the scholar had not changed much from when she was separated, but there were many more complicated expressions in her bright eyes at this time.
"Mu Yuan...... Scholars?" said Belle tentatively in greeting. The events of his childhood seem to be a lifetime away, but the appearance of a university scholar is not much different in his heart.
"That's right, Lord of Belle, it's me. The scholar replied lightly, he didn't say too much to greet him, walked straight through Belley, walked to the side of the bed to look at the sky above with the gaze of the deer, and the complicated look in his eyes became heavier.
The scholar stepped closer, reaching out his old hand to reach for the black body.
"Scholar, ......be careful," Lu'er exclaimed when she saw this, because she knew how toxic this black surface was. But the university scholars did not retract and continued to probe forward. As his fingers were about to touch his skin, a green glow appeared near his palm.
"Magic ......" Seeing this scene, Belle was even more sure that the person in front of him was a scholar from Muyuan University, and he was the only one who could use natural magic with ease.
The scholar's green palm touched the sky's arm, and the black on it faded to reveal the color of his skin.
The deer was delighted to see this, but in an instant her face was filled with disappointment, for the blackness swept back like a plague. And she could also see the powerless expression on the face of the university scholar flashing around.
"This catastrophe has really come......" The university scholar looked at Qingkong after making this temptation, and his eyes were a little inexplicably respectful.
"What robbery?" asked Belle.
"The catastrophe of the savior. The scholar replied.
"A book?" Bele remembered as a book of poetry and history written by a famous Terran writer, a book about the well-known legend of the Savior.
Mu Yuan didn't answer the question directly, but turned his head to look at Belle.
"Lord of the Belle family, I have not come this time specifically to solve your doubts, because these things are endless, one after another, and they do not necessarily make you believe. I'm here for this kid—" the scholar looked at the sky again—and his life and death will determine the success or failure of our entire Longtu World's righteous division. ”
Success or failure?Against the Dark Alliance?Belle looked at the unconscious Sky in surprise, I don't know why the university scholar would think that this teenage boy in front of him would decide the success or failure of the entire Dragon Atlas World, even if he was a teenager with natural potential, it was impossible to fight against the Dark Alliance on his own.
"Savior?" Lu'er's eyes suddenly lit up, "Scholar, do you mean that Brother Xiaokong is...... A savior?"
Belle's mind was clouded, and he was hit hard by Lu'er's conjecture, and he was extremely shocked when he thought of the "catastrophe of the savior" that the university scholar had just mentioned. He thought that the so-called saviors and destroyers were characters in legends and myths, but he didn't expect them to really exist. Until now, he still hadn't fully believed it, even though the Muyuan University scholar he respected the most in front of him had nodded in default.
"You may not believe it, but to be honest, I was just as shocked when I first got the news from Nadath, the Dark Alliance. As a scholar who has studied the history of the dragon world for nearly fifty years, I can trust dark magic, dark magic, and all kinds of legends about dragons. But the statement of 'Mandate of Heaven' is too ridiculous, I don't believe that there will be someone in the sky who has been watching us and has been controlling our fate, but after this experience, I, an old man who has been in the past, have to admit that there is really such a thing...... "Mu Yuan's domineering aura disappeared at this time, as if a beginner who had just received new knowledge.
"That'...... So since Brother Xiaokong is a savior, then ...... Then this black dragon crystal shouldn't be able to hurt him...... How can this be the case now?" Lu'er's tone lowered again.
"A savior doesn't mean he won't be harmed. On the contrary, as a savior, you will encounter many disasters, including abandonment, neglect, and emotional entanglement...... These are clearly described in that book "The Catastrophe of the Savior". Before, I only thought of this book as the fantasy of my ancestors, but after learning his 'identity', I found it again and read it carefully. The last chapter in it is called "Realm Breakthrough", which introduces that the savior will experience a great catastrophe at the most important juncture of his life, and as long as he can get through it, he will break it and abandon it, overcome the coldness, and break through the realm......"
Breakthrough Realm?Belle understood that such a jerky word should be similar to their Phantom Clan's Breakthrough Phantom Power, Phantom Form, or something, but he didn't know what else the untapped potential of the Sky was.
As long as you can get through?Lu'er thought, what if ...... No, there is no if, Lu'er denied the trace of worry in his mind.
"And when I learned that Qingkong was being eroded by this black dragon crystal, I knew that this catastrophe had come. The university scholar said.
At this time, Belle suddenly had a question in his heart, how did the scholar of Muyuan University be in the unknown realm, but he learned that Qingkong had consumed the black dragon crystal? Lenovo mentioned that he had received the news of the "World Destroyer" from Nadas, and Belle was in awe of his ability.
"What should we do then, how can we help Brother Xiaokong get over?" Lu'er looked anxious, she knew that she couldn't delay for a moment now.
The scholar looked at her, "Ethereal Cold Continent." ”
Ethereal Cold Continent?Belle was not joking when he looked at the scholar's determined eyes, and he also knew that this black flame-corroded sky could only be cured by the Ice Elf's cold magic.
"The Dark Alliance has launched a general attack, and it is impossible for the Ice Elves to stand still, but there is still no movement at the moment. Since they don't take the initiative, we have to go to them. The scholar looked at the sky, and the solemnity on his face told him that this was also a helpless move.
"My plan is to need the Lord of the Baile family to send your capable clansmen of the Keith family to escort Qingkong to the Ethereal Cold Continent, and the number of people is not too many, because we are not here to create misunderstandings and troubles. The rest of the remaining army joined forces with the Tulin clan to clear the Yunlin border of the dark coalition that had been hoarded there. ”
Belle nodded, he already had a candidate in mind. He looked at Fang Suo behind him, and the candidate for Belle was the promising young man of the Case family. Although Belle knew that this mission was a gamble for the people he sent to the people, the scholar described the impact of Qingkong on the entire battle situation as such that he did not dare to leave this task in the hands of others.
"Fang Suo. Belle exclaimed.
The young man standing in the back stood tall and stepped forward, he already knew why the head of the house called him. Ever since he saw Sky stand up to save the woman he had always loved, Janie, he had left behind his prejudice against the boy, and he was willing to take the risk for him.
"You bring twenty clan experts and prepare for the trip. Belle said softly.
"Yes, Master. Fang Suo's tone was not timid, and he replied in a sonorous voice. I don't know if it was an illusion or a fantasy, he suddenly felt that Jenny, who was standing on the side, looked at him at this time.
"I'm going too. The deer struggled to her feet. Her iconic little face was stubborn, as if no one could stop her.
Jenny wrinkled slightly, hoping that her father would dissuade her from this irrational decision, but something surprising happened to her.
"Yes, but shouldn't you fill your stomach first?"
"Father, I want a true answer. Lu'er didn't expect her father to agree so happily, but the persuasion that followed made her suspicious.
"My words are never a dead letter, and I will let you go," Belle said with a straight face, "not only you, but Janie and you will follow all the way." He saved my two daughters by himself, so why don't I let my daughter repay it once?"
When Jenny heard this, she had no reason to refute it, and it was true that if it wasn't for this young man sacrificing his life to save her, she would have been dead a long time ago.
Lu'er was even more pleased, her pale little face seemed to be immediately bloody, and when she saw the food on the table, she immediately pounced, completely ignoring the image of the noble lady and began to vomit.
Belle looked at her daughter, who was so happy, and her heart was not happy. The reason why he made this decision was not only because of what he had just said, but also because they were about to go on an expedition, and it was even more dangerous to take their two daughters to a dangerous battlefield or leave them in a defenseless home with Gu Long in charge, and it was better to follow the savior all the way. If it is as prophesied it is, then it is the safest option.
"Scholar, darkness has come, and the future of our Phantom Race is unknown, and I beg you to walk with us and give us guidance. Belle took the opportunity to express his wish that Mu Yuan would stay.
The scholar nodded.
"I'll walk with you, but not at this time, I have more important tasks to do. ”
He stared ahead, and images of memories emerged. A black streak floated through his eyes, full of hatred.
