Chapter 6: The Shadow of Mount Oz

Espha's dismissal from his position and his assignment to the rank of Adona as a wanderer was great news for Blue Ronnes and his associates.

"Well done! In this case, the matter of Silas's letter will be completely handed over to the Dharma-destroying Shinra, such long-winded things have nothing to do with us, Esfa's powerlessness, and we no longer need to fear him. Blue Ronnes said.

"I think there's something strange about this, should he be ......?"

"It's not necessary, in addition to violating the spiritual law contract, changing the appearance is only close to the evil law, and Esfa, the only believer in the Holy Mother, does not dare to jump into the thunder pool for half a step, I expect what he said to be true. Lan Ronnes said: "What's more, he was an archangel after all, killing him will inevitably attract suspicion, and you must know how to do things in moderation." ”

"Yes. Xie Huite said.

In order to keep his whereabouts secret, Espha left Adona, and instead of contacting the general in the fortress city of Cangshan, he went alone to a mountainous area in Dodranosi.

Here he lit a bonfire and opened the letter of Mandovusius, but see it reads:

My friend Esfa:

The emperor was imprisoned, we should have had a good talk, but it was delayed due to many things, you and I have the same belief, and we are very clear about the personality of Emperor Saloya. You say that I am greedy for the throne and doubt you, yes, this is indeed my former malaise, but in the face of righteousness, even Our Lady cannot ask me to compromise.

Seeing your face today, and your words that look down on all things for the light, I have cleared away all doubts about you. Now I am depressed, not knowing which is more filthy, the Imperial Palace, the Angel Palace, or the Carlos Seventh-Order Temple. My adoptive father, Raymond Wise, whom I have great respect, but now I begin to doubt him, for his words are always directed against you. We thought, if all the conspiracies are led by him, the Angel Palace and the Seventh-Order Temple of Carlos, most of the heavens are in the hands of darkness, my position must be in vain, they can crush us at any time, let the entire kingdom of heaven be wiped out, we have no choice, Esfa, we can only obey now, obey their wishes, and then slowly discover the secret, prove their sins, talk about the light, that is one day.

I will keep your Archangel office for you forever, and I hope that one day you will return again. After this, no matter what kind of unconscious king I become, don't blame me, Esfa.

Your friend Mandovusius

After reading the letter, Esfa's eyes suddenly brightened, and he smiled slightly: "Mandovusius, my friend, I am doing everything in my own way, and you are going to go against your feelings, what a torture for a person who faces his heart!"

With that, Esfah stood up, threw the letter into the flames, extinguished the flames, and walked away with the package in his hand.

"May ..... one day!" he said softly.

Before I knew it, three days had passed, and it was a terrible day for Sillins, the king of Silsa. In order to be able to give an answer to the Law Destroying Shinra, he can be described as exhausted. As he said to the Dharma-Destroying Shinra, "Father, that old fellow died twenty-two years ago, and he had never heard of the name Silas. ”

He sat on the throne of the main hall and pondered, "I saw my father die and be buried, is he lying to me?" After a monologue, he finally made a bad decision, that is, to dig his father's grave in the middle of the night to see if there was a corpse inside, and if so, then the Dharma Destroying God must have nothing to say.

However, to his surprise and disappointment, after opening his father's tomb upside down, he really did not find his father's bones.

"The old fellow is not dead!" he repeated as he stealthily drove back to the palace in the carriage, "where did he go? He lied to me, he didn't die!

However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the half-sentence that the Dharma Destroyer Shenluo had said: "Silas, the son of Sitore. ”

He didn't remember this half of the sentence because he was too nervous to remember it when he was talking to the Dharma-destroying Shinra, but now it miraculously came to his mind, and he stopped.

"Since it is the son of the wild man in the mountains (1), it is easy to start with him. ”

But he fell into despair again, for it was late at night, three days later, and he had no time. He stood distraught in the main hall and waited, the big barley town he named the god of war standing beside him, he flicked its smooth hair from time to time, and although the temple was full of Stygian soldiers, he not only did not feel any security, but even felt that the end had come.

Time passed minute by minute, but the God of Destruction never came, he walked back and forth in the main hall and fell into hesitation, and finally sat down on the big seat tiredly, and after a long time, before he knew it, he actually fell asleep deeply, and snored heavily. And so it was not until dawn that he awoke when the doors of the temple were opened.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he first touched his head in a panic.

"I'm still alive, oh my God! the man didn't come!" he stood up and shouted excitedly.

But he immediately fell into a slump, and he thought that maybe the man had misremembered the time, maybe he would come today, and his attitude would be tougher, and he must find a way to deal with it on this day.

He knew that his wise old father wanted to hide, and few people in the world could find him, so he pinned all his hopes on Silas. For this reason, he took the courage to make up his mind to visit West Tuolie's eldest son, Benon (2), in the Green Mountain, which he believed to be the land of tigers and wolves, hoping to find Silas through him.

The green mountains are hundreds of miles longitudinal and horizontal, the mountains are stacked on top of each other, the cliffs are everywhere, and the plants in the mountains are lush and lush, covering the sky and the sun. It is located in the north of the city of Lao, belongs to the territory of the city of Lao, the brave hunter tribe Yas have settled here since the Parres era 10,000 years ago, they have allied with the other five tribes to establish the powerful Meronsi Empire, the land from the northern coastal border of Syrsas to the area of the current Lau, but finally due to internal strife was defeated by the southern Dongduo people (3), the then king of the Dongdor people Van Kill was cruel and crazy, he ordered the slaughter of five tribes of the Yas, leaving only one of them, that is, the ancestors of the current West Tuolie, since then they had to submit and become a branch of the Syrsas。

The Yas are a tribe of hunters who live in caves and hunt for a living, they wear fur coats and are tall and burly. Their cave is a temple in the mountain carefully polished by skilled stonemasons, the hall is as tall as a mountain, spacious and vast, ventilated and warm, the temple is connected to a mountain, one door is connected to another, and it is endless, accommodating hundreds of thousands of people of the whole Yas people, there is an open fire in it, and all the living places are all one by one, although it is not magnificent and magnificent, but it can be called a miracle of the world.

At noon, Kadir and Neo and other two guards with steel knives drove to the Green Field, between the gap between the two mountains is a magnificent and wide stone gate, the gate is more than 20 meters high, the road is completely blocked, and it is engraved with several big cyan characters of the Yas people Lvye Mountain.

The carriage came to a halt, and the guard in the carriage, Kadir, got out of the car.

"Hey, Sons of Yas, the King of Silsas is here, and you have something important to discuss with your prince Benon, so open the gate quickly! Kadir shouted at the door.

"Hey, arrogant fellow, let Sillins come out, or you'll have your brains exploding in an instant!" shouted to them from the Yas on the high hill, with bows and arrows.

Neo jumped out of the car, opened the curtain and said, "King, they want to see your honor." ”

"What a bunch of brutes who don't know how to count. Cilins scolded, and he stepped out of the carriage with his stomach held out, and jumped out of the carriage, the stone road on the ground and the sun in the sky making him grumpy, "What the hell is this place! I swear I won't come a second time!"

The arrow man on the high mountain saw that it was Xilins, and with a whistle, the gate was immediately opened by the people inside, and one hundred and ten tall **** people or people in leather clothes with big swords and swords stepped forward on two sides to snatch out the swords in the hands of the two guards, and a sturdy black-bearded old man said: "King Xilins! "He's Danon's uncle, Tano.

"Good manners, good manners. Cillins said fearfully.

Led by Tano and the Yas, Sirins walked along the forest path, and in the center of the Green Mountains, a bluestone obelisk through the green clouds stood up, it was a heroic monument, built by the Giants (4) Rhaegars, and the greatest heroes and greatest deeds of the whole world throughout the ages are recorded at this moment.

When Sirins came here, the Hero Monument was surrounded by a glade, and behind the Hero Monument was an ancient elf temple. There are three heroes engraved on the stele from top to bottom: Kailo Sai, the giant who created all the spirits in the world, Rosandic, the general of the East Fudan who resisted the demons, and Sagami, the leader of the Feather Realm Alliance.

The inscription of Kailosayi is his own motto:

Embark on the journey at dusk, and at dawn the war song rises again, and the warriors with heavy responsibilities hope to be on the other side of the mountain.

Light shatters the eternal night, sorrow sinks into the deep sea, and when I am a human being, I must move forward.

Cillins stopped here to show his devout faith, and he bowed again and again, and saw the inscription of Kerosayi: "It is said that our ancestors were the seeds thrown by the giant Kairosayi to the ground and grew out of the earth after a hundred years of sun exposure, which sounds so funny, I would like to engrave another inscription for him." ”

Celins said with a smile: "A huge brainless man, a fool who has traveled the world all over the world in his life, I eat, sleep and sleep all day long and am a hundred times better than that." ”

"If you think it's honor, then your honor should be engraved on the dung heap. Tano glared at him, and Sirins knew he had said the wrong thing, and he kept silent and followed the crowd into the forest.

Inside the Green Mountains, in the lofty mountains and high forests, in the high mountain halls, the bearded shoulder straps on his back, the five sharp blades, and the Yas prince in a fur coat are standing on the top of the boulder steps of the mountain hall.

Leo, who had a heavy halberd and a black forehead, stood under the hall, which was spacious, but there were only these two people.

"You devil, don't take advantage of the weakness to deceive my mind, be careful that I will arrest you and burn you at the stake. Bennon said.

"Isn't there a great revenge for the eldest prince, although your father is admired by the clan, but he only does things for others, and now he has entered the demon realm for the country, and he has not returned for a long time, I am afraid that he has suffered misfortune. Leo said.

"What do you want to say? Don't me off!"

"What I wanted to say was said a few days ago, when the anger in your chest did not govern you to act, to cut off my dark head, and in the deepest part of your heart is the voice of your desire, which is what you should follow. Leo said, "As soon as your father dies, the whole of Oz Mountain will be yours, the unscrupulous prince of Syrsas, the world knows that he is far from being a monarch, as long as you obey me and tell me the secret of your sister Daria, I can give you endless dark power, and I want you to become the king of Syrsa and restore a more powerful prestige than in the Meronsi Empire!"

"Shut up, you strong wine, dissipate quickly!" Benon turned, drew his blade from behind his back, and threw it at Leo, who turned into a cloud of black gas and stabbed it into the boulder gate.

"I'm not going away, and one day you'll think that my words will make you famous for eternity. Leo faded.

After that, he sat down on a large seat and went into a meditative state.

"Prince, Prince!" After a long time, the voices of Uncle Tano and other old ministers came from outside the palace, "King Syrsas has come here to see you. ”

"Open the door and let him in. Bennon stood up.

Surrounded by the crowd, Celins and the two guards entered the temple, and Benon descended the steps.

"King Xilins, it is really an honor for you to come to this mountain cave mansion in person," he walked around and looked at Xilins and smiled, "You don't enjoy your blessings as a king in the golden and splendid palace of the four trees in the east, why do you come to my humble place?"

"Prince Bernon, you are speaking too seriously. With a smile on his face, he said, "Your father is working hard for the stability of the country, and as the lord of a country, I am grateful for his bravery and bravery, how can I not come here to visit?"

If anything, just say it, I don't have time to waste on flattery. ”

Everyone laughed, and Sirins was a little flustered, he looked around, stepped forward and said, "Then with all due respect, I have come to ask Prince Bennon for guidance." ”

"Maze?" said Bennon with a smile, "I am a rough man, and I have not received a proper education for a few days, and what the king knows, I may not know, and what the king does not know, I must not know." ”

"No, that's what you know in the Green Mountains, and you must know better than I do. Cirins said sincerely.

Bennon frowned.

"I want to ask if you have a brother named Silas, and I want to know where he is. ”

"It's like there's such a person. Bennon replied, "My brother, unfortunately, was sent to Heaven by his father when his little baby teeth were not yet fully removed, and he has not seen him again for nearly twenty years, and has never had any contact, and if you had not mentioned it, I would hardly remember him, and would I have wanted to find him? ”

"Can't you just say it more clearly, like which city and which street? ”

"For what purpose, and what does he have to do with the king?" asked Benon.

"It doesn't matter. ”

"Then why do you have to do that?" Bernon asked, leaning closer to Silins, "Are you thinking about it again, I know you have always held a grudge against my father, and tell you that if something happens to my father in the Demon Realm, Silsa will not be at peace!"

"Fellow tribesmen, I'm going to rest!" said Benon.

After that, the Yasians drew their sharp blades and forced Cilins and the two guards out of the palace and out of the Green Mountain, and they were indifferent no matter what Sirins said.

"Prince Silas has offended the Blue Eyes of the Heavenly Kingdom. "As far as I know, the Blue-Eyed pursuers are also searching for him, and they came here two years ago, but we stopped them, and it must have been the Blue-Eyed Men who gave Sillins the account of the capture of Prince Silas." ”

"Silas was sent to Heaven by his father more than ten years ago, and he has never returned since he left us, and he has nothing to do with us now. Benoy turned around and said solemnly, "Even if he returns, he will only be rejected by his people because of the arrogant aura of the heavenly kingdom, and he should not be mentioned again in the future, so as not to invite unwarranted trouble." ”
