Chapter 15: The Lonely Peak
Chapter 15: The Lonely Peak
Carly Jasmine and beginner Ima Rod had a very unpleasant lunch.
"Doesn't what Elder Hade said have an effect on you?" said Carly, Jasmine, Mask Mountain's ordinary eyes, "looking" at Yingma.
Uma wiped her mouth with the hem of her thick black robe and stared at the food crumbs on the stone table, her heart and mouth trying to remember the incredible delicacy called "Sevar Zhai", and as for her ears, of course, she was temporarily resting.
It was already noon after saying goodbye to Elder Head, and Jasmine Carly led Ima to a small open-air stone house near the Gate of Sevar (Ima suspected that its roof existed) and ate the "Sevar Zhai".
"I have to find a way to know the secret of this Sévar cook, and what kind of spices he uses to make such a delicious dish?" Ima muttered to herself, and at this thought she couldn't help but reach out and grab a few crumbs of bread on the table.
"To answer my question, beginner Ima Rod. Carly Jasmine's voice grew colder, and Yingma couldn't help but shudder, what did the truth say to ease the atmosphere, but saw that Carly Jasmine lowered her head and stared at Yingma's hand that stretched out to take the bread crumbs.
This can make Yingma feel a little like a thief, "But it's not a thief, after all, she gave me a meal, I didn't eat enough, swallow the rest, and I can help you Sevar save the cost of saving the world!" When he persuaded himself, his hand was generous enough to grab the crumbs.
Carly Jasmine finally couldn't help it and roared, "Beginner Ima Rod, if you continue to defy my existence, I will torture you with all the spells I know. ”
Before the words fell, a difficult and obscure spell sounded softly on her lips, and two streams of air unconsciously wrapped around Yingma's shoulders, and then grabbed his shoulder blades - just like being grabbed by a big man's powerful palms behind his back, of course, there are few big men in the world who can have the power of the air flow manipulated by this "wind control technique" more grandiose.
"Okay, okay, pinch me to death. Yingma held back the pain and said in a relaxed tone with great difficulty. In fact, he deliberately showed self-righteous arrogance in his heart, which was also to let these so-called "Sevar" followers not let him go.
Carly Jasmine didn't increase the strength of the wind beam, but asked coldly, "Please, beginner Imma Rod, answer my question about how you feel about Elder Hood's grim situation facing us. ”
After all, Yingma is not a strong-willed warrior, and besides, he is naturally weak, but he is stubborn in his bones, so he shouted: "I have! I have feelings!"
Say. Carly Jasmine's tone was still as piercing as the cold wind here.
"I mean, that's my business. Inma grimaced, then prepared to endure Kali Jasmine's wrath.
The result, of course, was that Carly Jasmine's face was covered with frost, and she lifted the two wind beams high, and then smashed Yingma to the ground. Ima Rod's lips are covered with moss from the surface of this greystone.
At this time, Carly Jasmine methodically cleaned up the utensils for the two of them, even though Ima didn't know where she had taken these delicate silver knives and forks, let alone where she had collected them.
"It won't be long before I send you to the Elders, and then we'll see you again in the Twilight Cataclysm!" Carly Jasmine said to herself as if she had a mouthful of frost, "I wonder how Revelation Herald Sharkes could have taken such a fancy to such a useless and stubborn boy." ”
Although this fall caused Yingma a lot of pain, when he heard the "Enlightened Pioneer Sellus", he still asked with difficulty: "Then before we say goodbye, can you tell me what happened to the great Enlightened Pioneer Sellus?"
Carly Jasmine, already determined to let go of her politeness and respect for this beginner, replied, "You don't have to prefix Sharkes, the pioneer of enlightenment, in such a contrived tone, which is not what we Séval should have. ”
"Okay, then you tell me about the Enlightenment Pioneer Saintes, why is he not normal in the morning?" Yingma wanted to scold, you stinky girl, didn't you first talk about the great Enlightenment Pioneer Yunyun?
Carly Jasmine's attitude did not soften in the slightest, and she replied, "That is the small price paid by the pioneers of enlightenment in their pursuit of great ancient wisdom, and it is also beyond the comprehension of a selfish villain like you. ”
Yingma was even more annoyed, although he also knew that he would only suffer if he went against this Carly Jasmine, but if he didn't confront this arrogant woman, he would be even more angry, and if he couldn't escape from this lonely peak, he would be bullied by this girl forever in the future. So after some weighing, Yingma still said: "That great follower, Lady Carly Jasmine"
"If you want to insult me by my worldly name, I will let you taste the wrath of Sevar, even though the elders will meet you in the afternoon," Carly Jasmine's eyes on her mask stared at Inma, as if those eyes could breathe fire.
Yingma shouted, "Am I going to be at your mercy? Why did you bring me to such a barren mountain for no reason? Why did any of your elders see me if they want to see me, have you paid the deposit?"
Carly Jasmine couldn't help but interrupt, "Deposit?"
"In our 'Conquerors of the Sacred Mountain', only guests can call our servants after paying a deposit!" said Ima smugly, as if he had seen Kalijasmine's anger subside.
"Beginner Imma Rod, it is our fault that we did not explain to you what we meant, and that Sharkes did not inform you of his intentions in a very short time. "She's like that, she's terrible to start a fire, and once she starts apologizing for an inexplicable question, she looks like a weak little girl, and no one is embarrassed to ask her any more.
Especially Ingma Rod, he is embarrassed to talk nonsense at the moment.
"Follower Carly Jasmine, please take me to meet your elders, even though I have already met Elder Head. By the way, are all the elders of Seval dragons?" Ingma carefully chose the words, for fear of making the woman suddenly angry.
"Elder Hede is the only dragon who stayed to help us, and the other dragons have chosen to leave because they saw the end of humanity, but it doesn't matter. You will be met by the Senate of Sevar, precursors with great will and hidden knowledge, and although they are all ordinary humans in appearance, they all lived through the War of the Dawn five hundred years ago. Carly Jasmine said with reverence.
Yingma couldn't help but exclaim, "It means that they all have a lifespan of more than five hundred years?"
Carly Jasmine sighed secretly and said sadly: "But because it is recorded in the Cycle of Light and Shadow, the members of the Presbyterian Church of Seval are destined to be destined to start with the Dawn War that brought about the Age of Light in their long life journey, and finally the Twilight Cataclysm when the long night comes. ”
"Are you saying that in the 'Twilight Cataclysm' three years later, the Council of Elders of Seval will not be spared?" Ima was shocked, and it took a long time for her to ask.
"I'm sorry, but the elders will answer your questions. Carly Jasmine's voice was calm again, and Inma was bored.
Then, in silence and a faint uneasiness, the two of them walked through the Eastern Dragonwing Platform and the Dragon's Throat Tower, and came to a long stone staircase up the mountain.
On both sides of the staircase are stone walls carved with intricate reliefs, although the images are vivid and meticulously carved, but Yingma does not understand what these stone carvings are expressing?
Carly Jasmine walked reverently past the reliefs with her hands in front of her, and her invisibility was more indicative of her credentials as Séval than Inma, who stopped from time to time to observe. "Follower Carly Jasmine, what do these reliefs mean?"
"All I know is that this is to record the history of the most recent Dawn War, and the reliefs are said to change every millennium, because the long night comes, and the reliefs and the Sevar Pagoda group will experience a destruction. ”
Ima only felt that it was best to be silent, even though he couldn't understand how the reliefs recorded the history of the Dawn War, and even for the Dawn War and the Twilight Cataclysm, he only felt a chill coldly.
And what he is most anxious about at the moment is to get rid of this Sevar and return to the "conqueror of the sacred mountain" as soon as possible, if he wants to be punished for attacking the Arashi, it is helpless, but it is better than accompanying this moody woman on this cold barren mountain.
"I don't know what the Duke thinks. He thought to himself.
Suddenly, there was a wide square in front of him, and although the architectural style was still dark blue gray stone, the style here was so bright and uplifting, compared to the ruins in front of the Gate of Seval, it was really shining and shocking.
Directly opposite the square is an even taller stone tower, flanked by slightly lower greystone buildings, punctuated by minaret cornices, carvings of dragons and knights. The spire of the central stone tower looked even more majestic in front of the huge projection of the sky, and even a bastard like Ima Rhodes had to cast a look of awe at him.
"Gufeng Dragon Temple, I didn't expect it to be so majestic. ”
Yingma said sincerely.
"Beginner Ingma Rod, welcome. May the light of dawn shine forever on your sword. Carly Jasmine turned to Inma and said solemnly.
Is this the etiquette in the Lone Peak Dragon Temple, so Yingma hurriedly said solemnly: "Follower Carly Jasmine, may the light of dawn shine on your sword forever. ”
"The follower, Carly Jasmine, is a skilled elemental mage who doesn't use a sword very often. A grim voice was heard not far away.
"Hello Kevin Graystone, Caller of Enlightenment. Carly Jasmine hurriedly stepped aside, looking in awe of the man.
The comer was also dressed in a heavy black robe, but the hood was lowered behind his back, revealing an angular face and sparse hair, which the other Sevars thought showed his harsh attitude and deep intelligence. "Hello Kevin Greystone," Ima stammered his name.
Kevin Greystone nodded and said, "I forgive your mistakes, beginner Ingma, please keep an eye on your words and actions after the Council of Elders decides to accept you to join us, otherwise my punishment will not be merciful." ”
"Why?" said Yingma coldly, although the man in front of him seemed to have an oppressive majesty all over his body, but Yingma was like this, even if a terrifying dragon like Elder Hade annoyed him, he would not give up.
What's more, there is nothing but a bald man in front of him.
"You are bold, and it may bring you glory and a second life in war, but I also warn you that unprovoked confrontation will only bring unnecessary punishment. Kevin Greystone stared at Yingma like a lion staring at a little gray rabbit who dared to resist him.
Yingma also stared at Kevin's eyes,-for-tat.
Carly Jasmine was stunned, this was the first time she had seen someone so hostile to the Caller of Enlightenment, and for a while she just stayed there and didn't say a word.
