Chapter Eighty-Seven: The Summoning

He knelt on the ground, palms of his hands raised upward, and the dragon monarch placed them in his palms. As soon as he touched it, he could feel the sharpness of the sheath and its weight. Heavy like duty.

"I named this sword 'Dragon's Scar', and it was made for you. From now on, it's yours alone. You can use it to cut down evil spirits, in my name. You must swear that you will live up to the teachings of our gods and the glory of the dragon's protection. ”

He was so excited that tears almost welled up in his eyes, and he made a vow. "Your Majesty Yu Jian kneels before my God and Your Majesty today, and in the name of his ancestors, he will abide by the blood oath, be loyal to the glory of the Dragon King's protection, and will abide by all the proverbs and teachings given by my God, and defend the way of peace with this sword. From now on, I will never give up. Listen to this oath to the Supreme God and the Son of My God!"

"Yu Sheng is someone I admire, and he taught us that vows are as important as life. The Creator gave all things a mouth, one to eat and the other to speak. There are jokes, gossip, lies, admonitions, oaths, and so on. The oath is a pact made to our gods, and it has nothing to do with right or wrong, but it is observed, and it will never be violated. Taking an oath is a sacred and solemn thing, but keeping it is not easy. You are a descendant of Yu Sheng, and you must know the family motto of 'a city can be broken, and a promise is strong'. Now I bestow this extraordinary glory on the descendants of Yu Sheng, and I have heard you make a vow. From now on, you are the master of the dragon's mark. From now on, all words will be in my heart and will never be forgotten. ”

Your Majesty, I have never forgotten. I want to die and repay it, but I can't. And I can't die now, I vow in my heart, I must wait for your heir, and I will never forget.

He woke up from a dream. Those pictures are still suspended in front of me, those oaths are still in my heart, but the dragon marks in my hands are no longer there, and the demons in the royal court are dancing wildly. Your Majesty, the sinner has lost the dragon mark, but the sinner has not lost the treaty he made before the Supreme God and the Son of My God.

He is Yu Jian, Yu Sheng's descendant, the foundation of his life, integrity first, a city can be broken, a promise is strong, is his family motto, Yu family can not be a person who breaks his oath.

He looked up and saw Dailan. She sat in a chaise longue with an embroidered quilt over her body and was already asleep. She is so beautiful. Looking at that face, he remembered Purple Star. The siblings were so similar that they were so beautiful that it hurt his heart. He is guilty of His Majesty and Purple Star, and he must protect her for the rest of his life. It was not just a vow, it was a lifelong dream of his life.

He tried to perceive the outside, it was clear, very direct, and he recovered a lot more than he had before he fell asleep with the medicine. Not far away, there was a faint aura surging, one, two, three. He jumped out of bed, strapped on his soft boots as fast as he could, put his coat on his body, and pushed the door open.

Nightshade's room had a strange magic, and he felt it even more vividly when he stepped into the snow. There was no fireplace or charcoal fire in the room, but it didn't feel cold, and the outside world remained the same. Snowflakes were swept up by the hurried cold wind, washing the village's roads like a tidal wave across its course.

The elder's medicine was very effective, and his strength had recovered a lot, and judging from the darkness of the day, he may have slept for two or three hours. While they were still in the Whispering Forest, the pursuers were picking up pace, and they should have arrived by now. The faint aura in front of him was like the groans of a wounded, weak and painful.

Not far in front of him, there were a few people lying on the ground, too far away to see clearly, but when he got closer, he found that the elder was among them, and another stranger, strangely dressed, with an extremely wide mouth, the corners of which and sideburns were almost connected. The two men lay motionless on the ground, and one man crawled slowly on the ground towards the entrance to the entrance to the entrance to the hall.

The rickety body and snow-white hair told him that it was his new neighbor, Grandma from the realm of Valens. The two lying down were weak, but they were still alive, and Grandma was relatively lightly injured. Here comes the tracker. He was so powerful that even the Apostle of God was no match for him!

He ran to the elder's side first, squatted down and looked at the injury, there were no obvious external injuries, most likely it was the strong air flow that hit the body and caused internal injuries, and the other person was in a similar situation. He noticed that the man had a streak on his forehead, like closed eyes. Turning his head to look at Grandma, she had already climbed over the threshold of the entrance to and from the hall, and he had to run over.

He helped Grandma up, and Grandma opened her toothless mouth, stretched out her finger and pointed into the room, gasping and saying, "Call...... The more ...... water Village...... Inside...... Leave ......"

Yu Jian helped his grandmother against the wall of changing colors, this empty room had a secret door that was not easy to identify, and now that a door had been opened, he ran inside.

Through a small compartment without a door, he entered another room, which was smaller than the one outside, but almost identical to the rest, devoid of any furnishings, bright as day, and the walls were changing colors on all sides. Mizukoshi stood in the center of the room, and in front of him was a square shelf, more than a man tall, with a frame that looked like some kind of metal, and a hazy opaque fog in the middle. Shui Yue's hands grabbed one side of the frame and looked into the fog. When Yu Jian came in, he didn't react, and all his attention was on the fog inside.

"Shui Yue, what are you doing? Something happened to the elder, and Grandma asked me to come and tell you to leave. Yu Jian leaned over and couldn't help but look into the fog, what was there in it that attracted Shui Yue like this?

Shui Yue ignored him, still looking at the fog, motionless.

"Mizugoi?" he couldn't see anything in the fog, just a blur, nothing special. Seeing that Shui Yue still didn't react, Yu Jian was a little anxious, and he didn't know what Shui Yue was in, he grabbed Shui Yue's arm and shook it: "Wake up! Wake up!"

As he shook, the water trembled as if he was sick, a groan of pain came out of his throat, his chest rose and fell sharply, and his hand that clung to the metal frame turned purple from the exertion. Yu Jian looked at him in surprise, not knowing what to do. Shui Yue trembled for a while before he slowly calmed down, and a big gulp of air came out of his mouth. He no longer had that kind of peace at all, his face was full of pain and despair, his head was sweating profusely, and his voice had become ethereal: "I have not been able to establish contact with Bedar, he may be our only hope now, but there is little hope...... I'm afraid it's too late......"

"It's too late...... he muttered the sentence, his hand loosened the metal shelf, hanging weakly by his side, and the whole person also softened, if it wasn't for Yu Jian supporting him, he would have collapsed.

It seems that the situation could not be worse. "I don't know what you're talking about. Did the new pass-bearer attack you, and he went to the desolate wilderness?"

"We need Bedar, only he can fight against that monk, the one you call the Great Elder of the Temple, but I ...... Unable to search for the breath of Bedar...... "Shui Yue said it was difficult, but more desperate.

The ancient tree elves of the Whispering Forest did not expect that Xun Zhou had broken through the defense line of Anonymous Village. The elder had said that he was currently in a period of weakness, perhaps for this reason, but no matter what, if Xun Zhou entered the Desolate Field, he would open the realm portal, where the mortal realm's defenses were the weakest. There will be new Abyssal Demons who will cross the portal into the Mortal Realm, last time there was Agaza, but this time ...... There won't be Gaza every time.

"What can I do?"

Shui Yue suddenly thought of something, and said hurriedly: "The elder wants me to take you away, I ...... You can't go against his will, so come with me. ”

"Where to go? Now the village is dangerous, I can't just go. ”

"What can you do if you stay?" Shui Yue glared at him fiercely, "They are tracking you, you brought them here." And the elders will protect you!"

I'm afraid that Xun Zhou didn't come to chase and kill, but to enter the desolate wilderness. But he didn't want to argue in vain with Shui Yue. "Shui Yue, can we do something to stop him?" he imagined that the turmoil in the desolate fields would be increased, and although he didn't know what it was, the portal was about to be opened, and one after another ugly-looking, fang-and-clawed demons of the Abyss would emerge, and they would eat away at the mortal realm, destroying the living creatures they saw, and the sky, the sea, the earth, the forests, the swamps, and the rivers would all be polluted, destroyed, and destroyed because of them. The mortal realm will be destroyed.

"Unless Badar hears my voice, senses my calling, and comes out of this door. Shui Yue pointed to the hazy fog and shook his head in despair, "The fighting strength in the village is not enough, some people have left, they are realm travelers, they are used to walking around, we can't force them to stay here." And in order to quell the recent turmoil in the Desolate Fields, the Elder has been wearing too much of it these days...... He's called Xun Zhou, right? He's just a puppet, his own strength isn't surprising, but now no one can defeat the real Tama, which is an extremely perfect pure crystal, with a powerful power that you can't imagine. We didn't expect that there would be a pure crystal in the mortal realm......"

"You mean, Xun Zhou is controlled by Tama Pure Crystal?" "Whose hand is the string that holds the puppet together? Is it Tama Pure Crystal itself, or is it someone else?"

"The man who gave him Tamajing took control of him. Tama Crystal may have a will of its own, I'm not sure, but it will store the caster's will under the influence of magic. Shui Yue pulled Yu Jian's arm, "Now is not the time to discuss this, there is an exit passage in the village, and other villagers who have no combat effectiveness are hiding there, call your Royal Highness the princess, I will take you there, the villagers of the entire village need to be temporarily moved to a safe place." ”

"What about the village now?"

"It's beyond your ability and it's not something you should think about. Take care of your princess, I hope you still have at least that ability. "Bedar and the others will soon find out what is going on here, and the Travelers Alliance will react." ”

The Travelers' League, a group of realm travelers?"I won't forgive myself if I'm gone by this time. Yu Jian broke away from Shui Yue's hand, "I can't run away." ”

"You idiot, this isn't your fight, you know? I know you're a boxing expert and proficient in swordsmanship, but that means nothing in front of Pure Crystal. No one wants to run away, but it's not brave to die for nothing!"

"When the demons may have stepped into the mortal realm, I chose to escape, where can I escape?" If the mortal realm is invaded by demons, it is better to die in battle than to flee.

"You can interpret it as 'running away', whatever you want. My mission is to bring you out safely, and the Immortals have entrusted you to the Elders, who will not allow you to die under the Tama Crystal. Even if you want to die, don't you want the child in the womb of Her Royal Highness the princess to come to this world?" Shui Yue looked at Yu Jian coldly, "Follow me." If you don't want to go, I won't force you, I'll take her away. ”

The more the water turns around, the more it goes. Yu Jian looked back at the metal-framed "fog gate", this is what the realm teleportation is for, and he cautiously stretched out his hand to touch the fog. Nothing, just nothingness. Going, returning, yes, it's because of this door. That's why it's called the Round-and-Go Hall, and the villagers don't walk through the Whispering Forest or across the desolate wilderness, they come in and go through here.

He thought of the elders and the grandmother, he couldn't watch them die, he had to do something. So he ran out, and when he got to the first room, Grandma was still leaning against the wall and didn't move, she was still breathing, he picked up Grandma, entered the other secret doors, found a room with a bed, put Grandma down, and covered the quilt. There are two more people, and they have to be brought in.

When he was about to leave the return hall, he found Shui Yue holding the elder in his arms, "Please go and bring Yeka in." ”

The man with the strange mouth turned out to be called Yeka. He did as he was told.

When the three injured were placed on the bed, Shui Yue said, "The elder still has something to say to you. Listen well and don't miss a word. ”

When the elder opened his eyes, the starry eyes had lost their brilliance. "The tide will eventually recede, and the lights will always dry up. The Creator created our world, and the gods control our destiny, and at the end of our destiny I saw the true face of our God, and he called me back. ”

"The spirit dragon has not forgotten his minions. The grandmother who was lying on the side suddenly spoke, "Your time is up." ”

"Elder!" Shui Yue was shocked when he heard this, knelt on his knees, and lay on the edge of the bed, "My god still needs your service, and the village still needs you to preside!"

"No, the more the water crosses, mortals will eventually obey fate, and they must not be disobeyed. This is God's will. The elder looked at Yu Jian, barely squeezing out a smile on his face, and his voice was almost inaudible: "Follow Shui Yue out of here." The Immortals may want you to become an apostle, or ...... I hope that child, I understand your coming. It's rare that he cares so much about you...... Live well, and only by living can there be hope. Even if the village no longer exists, my god is still there...... Hopefully, there will always be. ”

He said it very hard and painfully, Yu Jian couldn't bear to refuse, so he had to nod and say, "I will, we will all live." ”

Shui Yue raised his head and looked at Yu Jian, he was already in tears, and anger was clearly written on his face: "We are all helping you, do you have to ask the elder to talk to you like this? Do you know how painful it is for the elder to do this!"

"Mizuyue!" the elder raised his voice, he was pushing so hard that everyone could feel how hard it was for him to speak loudly. "The purpose of our existence is to protect them, to protect the living beings and peace in the mortal world. You will devote your life to this, and it is time to forget about this senseless anger, which will only lead you astray. ...... Lao Huang walked ahead of me, I should have known. A puppet controlled by Pure Crystal, how could Lao Huang allow him to come in...... It has been a long time for me to come to the end of my life, and this is the grace and great glory of my God. Shui Yue, you must remember what our fate is, follow it, and not be swayed......" I saw that his chest rose and fell violently, but he didn't spit out a word from his mouth, he raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch something, and then drooped down again. Yu Jian clearly felt that the once powerful aura had left the seriously injured old man, which was just a shell that was no longer alive.

The dragon god summoned his apostles.

"Elder!" Shui Yue cried as he propped up the bed.

"Mizugoe, why are you crying? You should laugh. It is the most glorious way to die from battle, not disease, and you should be proud to have such an ancestor. Grandma suddenly spoke again, her tone still so sharp.

It turned out that the elder's name was Congyun, and the more Shuiyue who looked like him was his descendant.

"That's what you're saying. Shui Yue wiped away his tears, stood up, turned his head to look at Yu Jian, there was no previous anger in his eyes, only coldness, he didn't speak, just walked forward. Yu Jian followed him silently.

They can't stop what is going to happen, they can only go to a safe place. But Yu Jian kept asking himself in his heart, was this right or wrong, a disaster was about to happen in the desolate wilderness, and he was seeking refuge.

Seeing a sin happen and being indifferent is another sin. He was already a sinner, and there was about to be another one of his crimes. Maybe he should get used to it.

The two didn't take a few steps, and suddenly heard Grandma's voice: "The more ...... the water" The two stopped, and the more the water walked back. Yu Jian stood in place, there was an air flow surging around him, and he clearly sensed it.

Grandma's breathless voice came from the room: "It's coming...... He...... It's coming!"

He was surrounded by air currents, but it was difficult to discern where the source was. This is counterintuitive.

Mizukoshi walked into the room again, and an excited expression appeared on his face, "It's Bedar...... It must be him! He sensed it! We were saved!"

Yu Jian couldn't help but get excited, he didn't know where Bedar was sacred, but it must be the savior of this village, and he must have a way to deal with the madman with Tama Pure Crystal. The breath in the entire shuttle hall surged, violently stirring like boiling water, perhaps that was the reaction of the realm teleportation. This reaction came from the small room with the portal inside.

Answering Mizukoshi's call, Bedar came through the door.
