Chapter Ninety-Four: Getting Out of Trouble, Galaxy
It had been two days since Lloyd and the Holy announced that the surviving children of the galaxy had become nightingales, and in these two days Lloyd seemed to have changed as a different person, no longer beating and scolding them, and no longer withholding food, strictly speaking, he did not appear at all except for serving food at the meal for the past two days, and the same was true of the saint, and he had not seen him since that conversation that day.
No one knew what they were up to, the rope that hung on the third floor didn't care, they didn't seem to care about the children climbing up to the third floor, so all the children knew about the stairs going up on the third floor, but of course, no one could pass through the invisible barrier.
In order to pass the time and find a way to break the barrier, Xinghe had the idea of breaking the books in the room at the end of the corridor, but it seemed that in order to prevent him, Sheng cast a spell on the door of that room, and Xinghe couldn't open the door.
The last surviving children in the entire bunker were seventy-six, and after a few hundred people were reduced at once, it became unusually deserted, and it was frightening, especially in the past two days without Lloyd's restraint, the children seemed to be a little idle.
The impact of what Xinghe did in front of the medicine pot that day was very obvious, and many of the surviving children now looked at him coldly, and they seemed to count their friends who died that day on Xinghe's head, but since there was no worse situation such as a fight, Xinghe didn't care, because Lloyd "took good care of him" before, his relationship with other children was not optimistic, and the current situation is not much different for him.
However, there have been some subtle changes in the relationship with someone, that is, Kayla, the relationship between them was a friend before, but now, Xinghe can't say clearly, in the prophecy that the saint showed him, Kayla snatched the dragon heart fruit from him, which led to Anton's death, although that didn't happen, but planted a seed in Xinghe's heart, a feeling of distrust took root in his heart, he knew it wasn't fair to her, however, he couldn't move this thought out of his head, because of the vision in the prophecy, he almost killed Kayla, although later he gave her an antidote to save her life, but these are two different thingsThe relationship between them has become a little strange, and Xinghe has been avoiding her, consciously or unconsciously, and this situation will probably continue until she thinks about what to do.
However, he hadn't told Anton and Lanyue about these things, and after getting up this morning, they still greeted Kayla very warmly, so Xinghe had to say hello to her with them a little embarrassed.
When they reached the grandstand on the second floor, they found that Lloyd was already in the hall, and instead of paying attention to the unknown children standing around, he took care of himself with white powder on the floor
A certain pattern is drawn, and a stone basin is placed on a shelf in the center of that pattern.
The three of them stood from afar in the stands on the second floor and watched Lloyd finish the work, many people stood in the stands like them, no one tried to disturb Lloyd, although he did not beat or scold any of the children in the past two days, his brutal image has long been engraved in the hearts of these children.
No matter what Lloyd painted on the ground, it was a huge project, but after a while, the children felt a little bored, Anton held on to the railing and said casually, "It's been so long, and I don't know if Chonggo has taken good care of Xiaoling, Xiaoling's ......"
Before he could continue to say something, Xinghe stepped on his foot, this was the first time they had had a chance to talk about it in such a long time since they had been in the capital, Xinghe hadn't told Arazuki about Rei's leg yet, and although he wasn't going to hide it, he didn't think it was a good idea to talk about it in this place, at least after they went out.
"What's wrong with Ling, what happened to the end of that operation?" but Anton still managed to bring back Lanyue's memories, and she asked.
Xinghe glared at Anton and replied, "The operation was successful, and Ling woke up, but her health was still very poor, so she didn't come to the capital with us, and Shigego stayed to take care of her." ”
"Oh, good luck they didn't come. Lan Yue looked at Lloyd, who was still drawing below, and sighed.
"yes, I'm glad I didn't come. Xinghe looked at the remaining seventy or so children and sighed.
After a long time, Lloyd in the hall finally finished his work at hand, he raised his head, looked at the children who were looking at him and shouted: "Little bunnies, give you a minute, come and gather for me, otherwise, hehe, you know the consequences!"
Lloyd's prestige was still very effective, the children did not dare to make any resistance, and one by one they walked over and gathered in front of him, and the saint did not know when it appeared, and when the galaxy noticed him, he had already walked to the edge of the stone basin.
Standing at such a close angle, Xinghe could see the pattern on the stone basin, engraved with two people, one of them kneeling on the ground, humbly dragging the stone basin, and the other was standing, reaching out to sprinkle something into the stone basin, and soon, Xinghe understood what the pattern meant.
The saint pulled out a sacrificial knife from the sleeve of his robe, cut his hand, and let the blood flow into the stone basin, and then as if something was suddenly activated, a gust of wind suddenly blew through, blowing away the patterns painted with white powder on the ground, but the results of Lloyd's work did not dissipate, leaving a glowing path on the ground, this familiar sight reminded Xinghe of the scene he had seen in the ruins of Jiangcheng, which made him have some bad premonitions, and he quietly pulled Anton and Lanyue back two steps。
The strange scene continued, and the saint began his speech again, "Today is the day when the 'Silver Moon Altar' regains its glory, you are fortunate to be the first witnesses in these five hundred years, the 'Silver Moon Altar' is the most important holy weapon of the 'Nightingale', it will lead you to become a qualified 'Nightingale', your past is no longer important, under the gift of the 'Silver Moon Altar', you will be reborn, who will be the first to be the glorious?"
Sheng looked at the children in a circle expectantly, but no one answered his call, Sheng was not angry, he casually pointed to a girl, and asked kindly, "Child, what is your name?"
"Carly. "It was a very small girl, and she was a little scared when she was brought out.
"Carly, come to me. Saint beckoned to her and called her over.
Lloyd, who was standing on the side, looked coldly at Carly and walked over, and he suddenly said, "My lord, I heard that the gift of the Silver Moon Altar can give great power, I don't know if it's true?"
"Of course it's true, Lloyd. Saint looked at him with a smile.
"Then you might as well let me come first. Lloyd walked towards the Silvermoon Altar, seemingly intending to get a step ahead of Carly in the so-called bounty.
However, Saint still took Carly's hand and walked in front of him, "Don't worry, Lloyd, it will be your turn, now this is a gift to Carly." Then Saint bowed his head, looked at Carly kindly, and said to her, "It may hurt, but don't be afraid. ”
He grabbed Carly's hand, picked up the sacrificial knife and cut Carly's index finger, then grabbed her hand and put it into the Silver Moon Altar, the stone basin that had been dripped, I don't know when it was actually filled with a basin full of water, when Carly's hand was put in, the water in the stone basin boiled, and Carly's expression seemed to be very painful.
Lloyd looked at Carly who was one step ahead of him, his expression was a little complicated, and there was a hint of fear in his expression, this was the first time Xinghe had seen this kind of expression on his face, which deepened his bad premonition about that stone basin.
After a few moments, the clear water in the Silver Moon Altar calmed down, and the saint held up Carly's hand and showed it to everyone, the wound on her index finger was gone, as if it had never existed.
"Show me what you can do?" said Saint bowed his head and said kindly to Carly.
Carly nodded, she stretched out her hand, put it in front of her eyes, thought about it, clenched her hands into fists, and then smashed it the ground, and an unbelievable scene appeared, such a little girl actually smashed a hole in the hard stone floor with her bare hands.
This display made Saint very satisfied, he looked at Lloyd, "Lloyd, then you will do the second?"
The corners of Lloyd's eyes twitched, his eyes were on Carly, who was still blankly examining his hands, he took a deep breath, revealing a mouth full of big yellow teeth, "No, these children are the future of the nightingale, let them come first with this reward." ”
Sheng didn't say anything, just smiled and beckoned to the next child, the reward of the Silver Moon Altar made all the children turn into supermen with superior physical strength, but Xinghe felt instinctively resisting, and he pulled Anton and Lan Yue to move to the back of the line.
However, there were only seventy-six children in all, and the Holy Commander's Chosen ones were getting closer and closer to them, so much so that even Kayla was ordained by the Holy Order.
Xinghe nervously watched as Saint put Kayla's broken hand into the Silver Moon Altar, and Saint grabbed her hand, and Kayla's expression was very painful, but at this time, Sheng's brow suddenly wrinkled, and she let go of Kayla's hand, and she suddenly retracted her hand.
Saint frowned and glared at Kayla, then looked up at the ceiling again, "Lloyd, there's a rat coming in, go fix him." ”
Lloyd nodded, and sensitively climbed up to the third layer and disappeared from everyone's sight, Saint didn't say anything, beckoned to Leviathan, but before Leviathan's hand was taken out of the Silver Moon Altar, there was a huge explosion on the third floor, and Xinghe even saw a fire appear, and after a while, Lloyd rushed out with a folding knife, his whole body was charred and black, and he looked so embarrassed, he glanced back at the back, and then jumped down from the third layer without hesitation, and then a huge fire snake came out of the corridor behind him。
Lloyd jumped to the second floor, but in his haste, he landed not very good, probably as if he had broken his leg, and he struggled to stand up against the wall, limping.
Saint finally let go of Leviathan's hand, and he looked a little angry, and he squeezed a fist at the still writhing fiery serpent, crushing it.
As for José who appeared behind the Fire Serpent, Xinghe had to admit that although he didn't like him, he was still happy to see him appear, because he saw the hope of leaving here for the first time.
However, José's situation does not look so good, he is not wearing a Valhalla uniform today, but a brown civilian suit, the lower right corner of the dress has been torn, and there is a large pool of blood.
The saint stared at Jose from afar, the momentum on his body continued to increase, and Xinghe once again experienced the feeling of that night, he felt that he could be torn apart by the magic that emanated from the saint's body at any time, and this time there was no Hedong and Ye Duyu in front of him.
José, who was standing in the stands, suddenly held up his black book, and a large amount of words flowed out of it, turning into layers of shields, and at the same time, everything around him was blown to pieces as if it had been bombed, and although José's shield protected himself, he could not protect the stands under his feet.
With the collapse of the third layer of stands, José also fell, in mid-air, his black book flew around him, and the familiar points of light rushed out of the black book, converging into the White Emperor Sword in his hand, this was the third time Xinghe had seen this powerful weapon, and this time its appearance made him feel extremely relieved.
Sheng had been standing in place, not even moving a step, but when the White Emperor Sword appeared in Jose's hand, his face finally changed. He looked at Jose, who landed in front of him, and slowly spoke, "Young man, you are not qualified to set foot here!"
José didn't answer, but held the White Emperor Sword across his chest.
The saint looked at him coldly and said, "Whoever gave you this weapon, they should know that such a powerful weapon should not appear in the capital!"
Jose still didn't react, he didn't even have a single expression, he tightly held the White Emperor Sword that emitted a faint light, and was ready to attack at any time, taking advantage of this effort, Xinghe pulled Anton and Lan Yue and ran behind Jose's back.
His behavior caused one or two children to follow suit, and the saint looked at Xinghe coldly, and that gaze made Xinghe feel as if he was in an ice cellar, "Xinghe, you made a wrong decision!"
Sheng didn't speak again, he stretched out his hand and waved hard, and Lloyd, who had fallen on the second floor, flew to his side, and the quaint stone door in the hall finally made an ugly creaking sound at this moment and slowly opened, and there was a light behind the stone door, so that Xinghe couldn't see what was behind it.
Huge and violent magic power gushed out from the stone gate, Jose was struggling to support it with the White Emperor Sword, but the Xinghe and the others who were hiding behind him felt much better, and the saint led the rest of the people and others towards the stone gate, he glanced at Jose, "I remember you, young man." ”
Looking at the group of children who disappeared into the white light with the saint, Xinghe saw Kayla's back, he poked his head out from behind Jose, and shouted in the face of the great pressure, "Kayla, come back quickly, aren't you still going to find your brother and sister?"
However, as if the other party had not heard it at all, it disappeared into the white light with the saint, and the stone door also closed, and then the stone gate suddenly weathered and turned into a pile of sand, as if it had never existed at all, but the uncomfortable violent magic was also gone.
Xinghe turned his head and looked at Jose, who was already kneeling on the ground with the White Emperor Sword, gasping for breath, and Anton and Lan Yue, who were safe and sound behind him, so it seemed that they had finally escaped from this nightmare, but why wasn't he happy at all?
