Chapter 104: The Price of Strength

On the shore of the lake, the water is sparkling, and the bright sunlight reflects from the surface of the lake, shining dappled light and shadow on several figures through the surrounding plants.

"Right here?" Liu Yunfeng asked with a frown looking at the beautiful picture.

"Yes, judging by the signal fluctuations, it should be at the bottom of this lake. Edward glanced at the magic guide on his wrist again and said firmly, "Why don't we go down to each of our two academies! ”

"Well, no problem!" Liu Yunfeng and the three naturally had no objection.

But when Liu Yunfeng stepped forward, he found that it was Edward who was with him, not his knight Kudis.

Yuna's slender brows were also slightly raised, and she was about to step forward to grab Liu Yunfeng, but found that the other party turned around and gave her a reassuring look.

"Be careful all the way!" Arya did.

"Well, you are the same, I guess the other academies are coming soon. Liu Yunfeng paused, and then jumped up suddenly, the whole person was like a fish, rushing to the water, "Peng!", the water splashed.

Edward followed up to the surface of the lake, but his feet did not touch the water, as if floating in mid-air, his wrist was gently raised, and a spherical air curtain was pulled up from both sides, enveloping himself, and the lake parted under his feet, and then he began to sink slowly.

The lake seems quiet and quiet under the water, but in fact this is not the case under the water, after submerging in the water, Liu Yunfeng soon has a frolicking world under the water. But when the fish appeared Liu Yunfeng, an uninvited guest, they scattered in a hurry, and after a while, they turned back again, as if they were a little curious about this kind of creature that they had never seen.

Such a wonderful beauty made Liu Yunfeng feel a new feeling, speaking of which, this is his first underwater trip, regardless of his past and present life.

When Liu Yunfeng saw Edward, who was slowly sinking but his clothes were not wet, a tent of blisters suddenly erupted from his mouth, and he quickly covered his mouth and nose, but he scolded Edward in his heart

To their surprise, this small lake, which is only a few dozen square meters in size, has an unexpected depth, and the entire bottom of the lake is sloped from northeast to southwest, with an inclination angle of more than 20 degrees, leading to a dark place where the sun cannot shine.

Under the guidance of the signal, Edward manipulated the bubbles around his body to slowly dive into the depths, Liu Yunfeng had no choice but to follow when he saw this, as they continued to sink, the surroundings gradually began to darken, and finally the surroundings were pitch black, and there was nothing to see. The environment became oppressive and silent, with only the faint murmur of water.

Edward, who was in the bubble, snapped his fingers, and a flame ignited at his fingertips, so that they could clearly see the surrounding scene within a radius of about a few zhang, but it was still an unchanged slope, just when Liu Yunfeng felt that the oxygen in his lungs was gradually insufficient, a huge black cave finally appeared in front of them, which was expected by them, but it was unexpected.

There was not a drop of water in the cave, as if there was a barrier at the entrance of the cave, but in fact it was not the case, because they did not feel any elemental fluctuations, which showed that it was naturally formed.

Walking out of the cave along the end of the cave, the surrounding environment became drier, and the terrain gradually began to flatten out, and there were no traces of any creatures in the cave, which made Liu Yunfeng slightly puzzled, logically speaking, how to arrange some mechanisms or demonic beasts to guard in this cave, but until they came to the end, the magic guide that glowed slightly on the stone platform seemed to be laughing at them for being too cautious or timid.

Edward picked up the magic guide that was about the same as the one on his bracelet, and at that moment, the entire cavern shuddered, and countless sand and stones poured down.

Liu Yunfeng suddenly raised his head and said solemnly: "Someone is coming, we have to go back quickly!"

Edward turned around, but put his right hand on Liu Yunfeng's shoulder and asked abruptly, "Do you know why the judges didn't set any checkpoints in this hole?"

Liu Yunfeng didn't have the heart to discuss these meaningless things with him now, and asked a little impatiently perfunctorily, "Why?"

"Because on the road of life, the biggest opponent," Edward said with a nonchalant smile.

"After all, it's human !!" Edward's voice increased sharply! Even his face became a little crazy and neurotic at this moment!

Liu Yunfeng only felt that the air around his body suddenly became dense, as if it was solidified, and the whole person seemed to be wrapped in cement! Just as he was about to open his mouth to question, a violent wind invaded his mouth, and countless amounts of air rushed in from the Seven Orifices! Just as Liu Yunfeng was about to mobilize the strength of his whole body to resist, the shadow behind Edward turned into a ray of ghostly light, and when Liu Yunfeng's pupils shrank sharply, it quickly penetrated into his eyebrows.

That's the Shadow Mage who has been waiting for an opportunity!

Liu Yunfeng's body shook suddenly, the originally tense muscles relaxed, and the pupils that shrunk into the size of a pinpoint slowly dilated, and the look in his eyes also dimmed

The corners of Edward's mouth pulled out a hideous arc again

On the shore of the lake, Yuna looked at the calm and waveless surface of the lake. Arya, who was beside her, saw her strange appearance and gently touched her on the shoulder, which brought her back to her senses.

"What's wrong?" Arya wrote with her fingers in the air as well. Her mental power has been spreading, and seeing that the knight Kudis is very dutifully on guard, she doesn't pay much attention to the two of them.

Yuna pursed her somewhat dry cherry lips and wrote, "Edward will be bad for Kaede!"

"How is that possible, we have no conflict of interest with him!" Arya's pupils shrank slightly, and her fingers quickly swiped in the air, turning into words.

"What if he also has a fragment of Longinus in his hand?" Yuna wrote in some obscurity.

It was as if a thunderbolt flashed in Alia's mind, making her, who had always been calm, slightly stunned, and it took a long time to ease up. Thoughts crossed over about Longinus.

The Spear of Longinus, also known as the Spear of Destiny!

Legend has it that as long as you hold the gun in your hand, everyone within a range of one hundred and twenty zhang will surrender, throw it more able to lock the enemy, penetrate the space, and claim that the higher the divinity, the greater the damage, even the gods in the sky are not exempt, and the person who holds this gun can control the fate of the world, but the person who loses it will be killed on the spot

In the late Moko Dynasty, this gun became a symbol of power, and many monarchs with outstanding achievements won countless battles in front of you.

But after countless wars, the holy spear of Longinus was finally broken into seven pieces, and it is known that three of the fragments were found to be rebuilt in various dynasties, so that there were three pseudo-Longinus spears, one now known in the hands of the Empress of the Spiritual Empire, one in the hands of the Pope of the Holy See, and the last one in the hands of the man in the Netherworld. Other fragments, whereabouts unknown

But Arya certainly wouldn't fully believe in this legend, as she vaguely learned from Yuna that the seven shards of Longinus represented seven types of energy, and that by implanting them in her body, she would gain the ability to use that energy, and possibly even induce abilities beyond the seven energies!

But everything has gains and losses, what you want to gain, you must lose accordingly, what you gain is not necessarily what you want to get, what you lose is also what you don't want to lose.

Implanting fragments requires a great risk, and the 1 in 10,000 chance is not nine deaths, which is almost lifeless!

Even if the risk is reduced through various means, it is still a shocking gamble with life as a bargaining chip!

I don't know how many people have lost their lives because of it

And in the Netherworld Empire, the strongest man, against public opinion, frantically implanted the fragment of the Netherworld inheritance into his seven-year-old daughter. That girl is Yuna.

She was lucky because she gained two rare abilities - the Source of Darkness and the Word of Words!

She was also unfortunate to have obtained the power of the source of darkness, for which she had to suffer day and night from this most negative energy in the world, so she put on heavy armor that ordinary people could not bear, just to engrave an inscription to suppress this terrifying energy.

She has gained the art of speech, and for this reason she has once again lost the right to speak, and even more so! she has almost lost the most basic ability to express her feelings as a human being! Even a smile is a luxury for her! And the price of using the art of speech is her life force! Every time she uses it, it will speed up her aging!

At the same time, she will be burdened with the national fortune of the Netherworld Empire, which is so heavy and sad for a little girl who does not know the world.

After being implanted with that fragment, she once again lost one of the most precious things, which was freedom

Is that Edward the same as His Highness? But why would he be unfavorable to Liu Yunfeng?

Alia's heart moved: "Could it be that Liu Yunfeng also has a piece on him?"

Thinking of this, Arya's heart shrank suddenly, and she thought of that day in the Sunset Forest, when the giant sword in Liu Yunfeng's hand shattered!

It turns out that the words of the profiteer are not all made up, because in that sword, there is a fragment that can make the whole world crazy, it is called Longinus!!

But she wanted to break her head, and she didn't think of what Liu Yunfeng had lost

Arya put aside those thoughts for the time being, the most important thing now is that Edward wants to be unfavorable to Liu Yunfeng, to be precise, Edward covets the fragment in Liu Yunfeng's body!

"When using that ability, anyone with a fragment can sense the existence of the other party within a certain distance!" Yuna looked at the surface of the lake again, and her fingertips slid firmly in the air: "So Kaede should have sensed it too, and I also secretly reminded him, even if he didn't know what the connection was, he should be able to guess that Edward had a plan, so he would take care of it."

He'll take care of it

Arya was surprised to find that her highness would have such confidence
