Chapter 105: The Three Princes of Tragedy
In the dark cave at the bottom of the lake, a sea of shimmering light is present.
"Mingguang Stone! Tears of Darkness!" If there were other students here at this moment, they would definitely exclaim! How rare and precious are the magic materials distributed on both sides of the cave passage and on the dome, and more importantly, they are the core materials of the spatial teleportation array!
Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of various magical materials were embedded in the stone walls and spread to the dome, forming obscure streaks like snakes. This circle is a kind of teleportation array, but it is one-way, and the only thing that can be determined is that it can only teleport people to other planes in one direction
Edward's Ballusher shot the last piece of material into the rock wall, and all the magic materials lit up as if he were in a sea of stars. After a moment, the light dimmed, and the entire space shook slightly, and the cavern was once again dark
But in the midst of this darkness, there was a sudden burst of nervous laughter, which was excited, crazy, and deeply sad
There were three princes in San Tiago, the first prince Jason was rightfully made the crown prince, he was strong and tactful, deep but not stingy and tolerant, because the crown prince was the prince of the country, and he needed to stay with the monarch often, participate in the affairs of the court, and assist the monarch in formulating major policies, so he had the support of most of the civil servants.
Compared with the eldest prince who was excellent in handling domestic affairs, the second prince Gerry showed considerable martial arts and military talents. When he was eight years old, he was able to beat his teacher in the game of military flags. When he was twelve years old, he led tens of thousands of troops to quell the civil strife on a marginal continent, and the old monarch was very pleased with this, and directly divided the continent under his name, but this was only the beginning, and his budding military talent shook everyone like thunder.
The following year, he used that continent as a springboard to begin his conquest of the surrounding countries, which at that time was opposed and impeached by numerous officials, and no one thought he would win. But in just a few years, he expanded the territory of Santiago to dozens of continents again, which once again shocked the attention of countless people.
It was as if Heaven had given Santiago the sharpest spear and the strongest shield. can be left to the third prince, he loves Edward, but he has nothing, in the eyes of everyone, he is just a mediocre person with no ambition and only incompetence. It was as if his brother had inherited all the good points of the old monarch, leaving him with only the flaws that had been peeled off.
He was not qualified or able to get involved in the battle for the throne between the eldest and the second, he was jealous, hated, and unwilling, but what could he do? In despair, he began to indulge in alcohol and self-abandonment, until one day, he met Assas, who was dying at the time
He still doesn't know if he changed the fate of Assas, or if Assas changed his fate.
Assas is just a half-baked shadow mage, originally a desperate vagabond, lucky to get the remnants of the shadow spell and a piece of rusty rotten iron lump from a monument, and the equally mediocre qualifications he only learned the two most basic spells, the shadow and the soul impact, the shadow can only let him attach to the shadow of others, which has become a skill for him to survive, and the original powerful soul impact, but because of the fragmentation of the inheritance, it has become a chicken rib spell that also requires many restrictions to succeed。
This made him repeatedly hit a wall when he wanted to get a stable career, and he wanted to test and become a secret law holder, but he was unceremoniously kicked out of the union by the law holder union, for which he was almost killed by a burst fireball. Later, he wanted to take refuge in the nobles and become a guest mage, but after his demonstration of the law, he was beaten up by the angry nobles' subordinates and threw him out of the door.
Physically and mentally exhausted, he threw his last hope on the lump of rotten iron that had been brought out of the ancient relics, hoping to sell it for a good price so that he could live an ordinary but stable life, but bad luck once again enveloped him, and the illiterate merchant beat him again on the grounds of fraud, and took away the last few copper coins on which he depended.
Just when he was completely desperate, the third prince, who was also out of despair at that time, gave him a few silver coins, and Assas was grateful, unable to repay him, and dedicated the only piece of rotten iron on his body to Edward.
Edward didn't care about the broken stone at first, but threw it at the back seat of the carriage, until one day he accidentally saw the legend and information about Longinus from an ancient book, and he thought of the scrap iron lump, and after many experiments, he finally determined the origin of the fragment in ecstasy, which was a fragment of Longinus______ a fragment of fate!
He ordered Ashas to be recalled, and since then he has been cultivating him as his confidant.
Heaven seemed to favor him again, making him feel that the sun was so bright for the first time.
After receiving the Fragment of Fate, he finally implanted it in his heart one night, with the help of Arthas.
With his tenacity, he survived the almost maddening pain, and was lucky enough to become one in ten thousand and obtain the source of the wind! This would allow him to break through the barrier of the seventh order in dozens of times less time than ordinary people and become a rare and powerful wind elemental enforcer.
But when he was ecstatic, he was knocked out of the clouds again.
If you want to get, you must pay, and what you need to pay is often not what you are willing to pay, fate, never compromise with anyone.
Following Assas's horrified gaze, he saw his body, and finally knew the price he had paid for it, and that price was that from his chest down, all turned into jagged skin and bones, and his body, which was originally full of life and vitality, was now as if it had been dried for a thousand years, and he had no heartbeat, like a living dead. What almost broke him down was that he lost the most basic humane ability as a man - the lump of flesh under his crotch was also not let go by the ruthless fate
Legend has it that if anyone could gather the fragments and recreate the spear of Longinus, fate would crown him and he would rule the world as the king of the earth and the god of the earth
Many people scoffed at this legend, but this ethereal legend became the only light in Edward's life, and he finally embarked on the path of collecting fragments of Longinus. And there must be gains if there is a loss, and getting the source of the wind also gives him enough spare time.
But the known fragments are not what he can covet now.
It wasn't until that day that an anonymous letter came to him, and he was moved by one of the fragments.
For this reason, he came to the Azure Continent, and the host of the fragment was the first princess of the Netherworld, Yuna Elizabeth Phelps!
Although he didn't know why the princess had come to Zhanlan, and he didn't want to guess what the people behind the news had in mind, he only knew that there was a fragment so close to him that it seemed to be within reach, and that was enough
But what he didn't expect was that during the game, he actually sensed the second fragment, and its host was a young man named Liu Yunfeng, and his identity was a pact.
Looking at the cave that had been darkened again, Edward laughed, laughing a little madly, a little sad. He snapped his fingers, and the fire ignited in his fingertips, and the faint light of the fire reflected Liu Yunfeng's slightly dull face.
Edward knew that it was time to harvest the fruit. He walked in front of Liu Yunfeng, looked at the other party's frozen movements and expressions, and thought that there was also a fragment in the other party's body, as if he saw himself back then.
Edward looked at Liu Yunfeng in front of him with a complicated face, and said to himself with emotion: "Don't blame me for such a fate" After finishing speaking, his five fingers were bent together, and they were pointed into thorns, poking towards Liu Yunfeng's heart.
A tearing sound of flesh and bones shattering echoed in the air, blood splattering
Edward's eyes widened, he was puzzled, Liu Yunfeng was obviously rushed into the sea of knowledge by Assas, but why?
On the other side, Liu Yunfeng's originally dull face was restored vividly, his dim eyes were as bright as ever, his pale face returned to his normal ruddy complexion, and his breathing became smoother, while Edward's originally frightened and angry face began to turn white
Liu Yunfeng looked at Edward's eyes that were rubbed with pain, surprise, horror and disbelief, lowered his head, and slowly pulled out the blood-stained hand from the other party's heart, there was a pool of blood on his palm, the blood began to darken due to the loss of vitality, and it was slowly dripping down along the edge of his palm, revealing a metal fragment.
Liu Yunfeng looked at the fragment and suddenly laughed
Edward looked at his relaxed and calm smile, as if everything was under control, with a shrewdness that perceives everything, and a look of wisdom that vaguely exists in it, and vaguely he felt that he had seen such a smile on the resolute face of his father, the old king of Santiago.
He felt that his life force was rapidly leaving, and he wanted to shout, to call out the name of Assas, but as soon as he spoke, a surge of blood poured out of his throat, drowning his words.
"Stop shouting, that guy named Asshas is gone, and you, you'll be seeing him soon. Liu Yunfeng looked at the piece of metal in his hand, and said to himself with a complicated expression: "It turns out that this thing is called a fragment of fate?"
