Edward looked at the strange lamp a few meters in front of her, the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably, and then she clenched her fist against her lips and coughed twice, holding back the complicated emotions and many narrow thoughts in her heart.

Numbered "0-05", "Wishing Lamp", a Level 0 seal that has never been obtained by the Orthoshinistic Church, and one of the most important seals in "Elemental Dawn"!

Far more dangerous than the "Sage's Forehead Ornament", it has the ability to distort reality and summon gods, and it is widely used in many stories and legends with the image of a "magical oil lamp that can grant three wishes". It is an important prototype of many strange items and evil gods in later generations who "realize wishes and also take people's souls".

It's weird and scary for most people, of course, if you have a lot of power......

She stepped forward slowly, and the spirit creature opened the seal of the "Wishing Lamp" for her, removed it from the stone platform, and held it in both hands.

Out of respect for the law of the "Wishing Lamp" and disrespect for the Lamp God himself, Edward groped his fingers with the shell covered with mysterious patterns, then looked at the quietly lit wick, and said solemnly in the language of giants:

"Eternal Lamp God ......"

Before she could finish speaking, the "Wishing Magic Lamp" suddenly emitted a golden light, and the light rose upwards like a viscous curtain of water, forming a moldy, distorted golden figure.

The figure's head cracked open so that it had a mouth.

"You?" The figure was startled for a moment, and then his tone became subtle.

"I said who actually broke in, but I didn't expect it to be my dear old compatriot, I'm glad you remember me who you don't deserve. Did you come today to make a deal with that little girl, or did you come to laugh at me? ”

“……”

"I feel like you're laughing."

"I just think of happy things."

Edward coughed twice, and said with an impeccable sneer:

"I still don't have a kettle in my garden, and I think it's a good place for you."

The golden figure shook for a moment, and the mouth of the head became a crooked crescent, a twisted and exaggerated laugh:

"It's true that 'order' can't fight 'decay', but 'miracle' and 'chaos' can, oh, maybe you don't like the word 'order'? ”

The King of Decay folded his arms and looked at the god of lamps with the eyes of a rare animal, and said in a calm tone: "A long life always allows me to witness some surprises, and there are gods who try to make me angry by provoking me for the part that is not good enough. ”

"You still have the face to talk about your authority, have you forgotten that you have changed your name to the Wishing Lamp now?"

The god of lights naturally skipped this topic:

"The long life does cause strange wear and tear on the gods, and the little worms you observe are nothing to mention in the eyes of the great me, not smart enough and not strong enough to compare with any of my scroll clans, and the loss of being a lord and a slave is greater than the gain. If you can really bring some kind of change to the world of those little bugs, it will be those boring and stupid pseudo-gods who can't sit still. ”

"Especially their repeated revision of the code, which is so arbitrary that it makes me feel disgusted!"

The Children of Chaos exasperated:

"The code serves the emperor, and the order is customized by the gods! Immortal as a rock, immortal as the universe, how dare they bend the will of the great gods with the minds of those mortals, with the poor and weak advice of those weak?! ”

The King of Decay looked at his hand disapprovingly, and slowly smoothed out a small frizzy edge of his fingernail:

"The question of why I'm interested in humans has been discussed two hundred years ago."

"At least you and I agree that all good feelings and expectations are just glorified performances, just like for mortal beings, anything ordinary will be more loved after death than when they are alive. The only merit of that era was that there was no mystery. ”

There is no master of mysteries, and this is important.

"So, what exactly is your purpose?"

She raised her eyes and looked at the god of lights: "Please come to my garden as a guest, you have no choice." ”

The exaggerated crescent moon of the lamp god gradually returned to a straight line.

"You think you can ruin me if it's not complete right now? Although I hate to admit it, this lamp is really sturdy. ”

"Don't worry about this turtle shell, I'm really worried that your brain will disappear along with the extraordinary characteristics, after all, your old way does have a wisdom bonus. Also, I'm curious, if I kill you, where will this part of your consciousness awaken? Any planet in the universe that believes in you, or the 'fog of indeterminacy'? The King of Decay put his hand over the lamp and said in a playful tone, "Of course, if you have lost the authority of 'chaos' and 'order', you may not be able to wake up at all, and this part of you will die completely." ”

The lamp god laughed and said, "Interesting, this is like our kind, our kind and damned brothers, the puppets of two hundred years ago are really boring, I almost really thought you were addicted to playing the role of 'Abyss Angel'." ”

The lamp god scolded fiercely in his heart: "Rude and arrogant bastard! I'm just a tiny fraction of my fingernails stripped of my authority, and I've lost my personal freedom, and if you, a lifeless lump of wood, have made it to Earth, or some other madman, you'll only have worse consequences than I do now! ”

"I can hear you."

"I didn't say anything."

"I'm a demon." The King of Decay said, "I hear your hostility clearly, and keep your mouth shut." ”

The lamp god stopped talking, obviously without a clear body outline or face, but its body twisted as strongly as its mood.

The King of Decay removed the golden "Wishing Lamp" from the stone platform, grabbed it in his hand, and left the dark room. The demonic spirit creature put away all the seals and followed behind her.

They came to the heights of the Emerald City and looked down at everything on the island of Laxia.

The gray volcano continues to erupt, the lava has destroyed all vegetation, and the ash has buried 80% of the island.

It used to be a casual walk, but now, there are flashes of mystical magic in several corners of the island. They may have thought that the "Emperor's New Clothes" or some other superimposed mystical magic had taken effect, and were moving quickly in the direction of the harbor.

Each of them has negative emotions that are too strong to ignore, which is as clear to the demon as fireflies gathered in the dark night.

The outer god looked at the survivors, and suddenly changed his tone to a more brisk tone:

"Just now, I'm going to try the power of fairy tale magic."

The Level 0 Seal "Sage's Forehead Ornament" corresponds only to Sequence 2, and only has the ability to make people informative and temporarily gain the person and authority of the "Sage". Therefore, Edward asked the spirit creature for the seal corresponding to the "Voyeur" sequence 4 and held it in his hand.

She did not hesitate to use her spirituality, locked up the fleeing humans, and chose an interesting fairy tale for them:

"Mysterious Recurrence ......"

"Red Dancing Shoes."

……

Forests, farmland, towns, mountains...... Even the gorgeous Emerald City has been reduced to ruins under the attack, the topography of the island has been completely changed, the terrifying heat and thick volcanic ash cover the land faster than expected, the paradise of the past has been destroyed, and it is better to flee and find another place than to repair. What's more, they kept praying to the chief, but they didn't get the slightest answer.

The remnants rush to get rid of the stronghold that has been engulfed by the disaster after calling for help to no avail, and make their way through the natural disaster, using mysterious magic to open an escape route to deal with the crisis, and as long as they leave through this route, they can appear in a safe place in the predetermined location.

In a mountain passage that should have collapsed, but was supported by a turquoise "pea vine", a woman in a plain black wizard's robe suddenly shook, and the expressions of the small group of people behind her suddenly became more tense.

The smell of blood permeated this small aisle, and the dozen or so people had injuries of greater or less, or gurgling blood seeping out from the simple bandaged cloth, or there were burn marks on their bodies, and large areas of skin showed abnormal black and red.

"Has it been discovered?"

The blonde-haired male behind her spoke nervously, the female leader the only demigod, sheltering them in the small classroom far from the site of the disaster. After encountering such a terrifying unknown attack, it is better to follow closely behind the demigods and survive as much as possible.

The lady in the black wizard's robe held her breath, suppressed her heart for a moment, and whispered:

"Maybe ......"

The faces of the survivors turned a little whiter, and the blond-haired man spoke a little nervously: "...... It's good to be able to pass on the clues. ”

Walking here in despair and fear, it is only a few dozen meters away from successfully escaping, if you die here, if you say that you are not unwilling, it is absolutely impossible, but to say that you believe that you and others can go out, it is somewhat self-deceptive.

The remnants of Elemental Dawn are ready to pass on clues and information more than death, so that their companions who are not in this stronghold and have escaped can judge whether to flee incognito or try to do something.

The lady nodded, not uttering the words that struck them.

"Volcanoes, environments, weather, is that a high-level 'weather warlock', or is that a 'catastrophe master'?" In such a critical situation, scholars have seized the time to analyze the situation, "Theoretically speaking, it is impossible to have a high-level sequence of activities in the outside world for the 'sailor' path that does not belong to the Church of the Storm, but we still don't know which path the 'weather warlock' corresponds to." ”

"Well, I think I've seen in the books that 'weather manlock' is a certain name for the path that symbolizes calamity!"

"Do you all think it's 'weather' and 'disaster'? I noticed the color of the lava, the blue of the flames and the smell of brimstone, and the strange cannibalism, which have a counterpart in the Demonic Occult......"

Scholars whispered.

"Attacking Raxia and destroying the Emerald City is provoking the Queen......"

When the companions began to discuss, the golden-haired man approached the lady in the black wizard robe, and his face was solemn: "Don't be afraid of the queen, at least you have to be a strong person of the same level as the queen, or even an angel!" What's more, the queen is now out of touch......"

He didn't say any more, and the two looked at each other, and at the same time saw fear and worry in each other's eyes.

“…… Get out first. ”

In order to stabilize the heart, they did not say anything, the blonde man followed closely behind the woman, and from his gray cloak came a thin cry, and two children of the same age hid in the teacher's arms, a man and a woman, who had dried their tears and cried hoarsely. They are the children of the Elemental Dawn from the Laxia, with excellent spirituality and gifts, who happened to be in the classroom at the time of the incident, escaped the tragic disaster, and also witnessed the destruction of the city they had been living in.

A curtain of light constructed by mysterious magic could already be seen in front of him, and the golden-haired man tightened his cloak, squatted down, and hugged the two children vigorously one left and one right, and the three faces were tightly pressed together.

It took a full two seconds for the man to let go of his hand, stand up, and send them to the lead female demigod.

"I want them to follow you." The man smiled wryly, "I don't have enough strength to protect them, but I can still be a meat shield once." ”

In the face of a possible angel, no one is sure to protect two children. The lady was silent for two seconds, nodded slightly, and reached out to stroke the hair of the two children, and suddenly, her movements stopped.

On the feet of the girl in a simple skirt, a pair of bright, delicate, and beautiful red dancing shoes appeared.

The next moment, she lifted the hem of her dress a little in disbelief, and found that red dancing shoes appeared on her feet and that of another woman!

The blond-haired man didn't find this strange, but as a demigod, the lady who was qualified to learn more myths from the mouth of the "mysterious queen" immediately recognized the origin of these dancing shoes!

Five Generations of Rivers, Mountains and Moons

It's a mad curse that dances to death!

"It's fairy tale magic!"

The next moment she shouted this, the women in the group and the little girl in front of them suddenly had a wonderful and intoxicated smile on their faces, their eyes rolled up, they stood on tiptoe, they jumped high, and their legs danced merrily to an invisible melody.

A fast-paced minuet sounded in the ears of the female demigod, and her legs moved involuntarily, and her face instantly turned pale, and then took on a strange wood grain color. She instantly turned into a puppet with a long nose, and immediately dismantled her feet along with her red dancing shoes, and threw them backwards into the depths of the passage.

But the other two were not so lucky, their upper bodies were sluggish, they couldn't keep up with the rhythm of their legs, and they were carried by the increasingly intense dance steps to swing like epilepsy, and they kept their balance very strangely under the control of the red dancing shoes.

Everyone looked frightened, and did not need to be reminded, and immediately ran to the light curtain in front of them, and the blonde man also scooped up the frightened little boy, dragged the female demigod to his back, and ran forward as if he were running.

The dance steps of the two people, one big and one young, were too fast to see with the naked eye, and the tall adult woman was constantly spitting blood in the rapid spin, she was thrown into dislocation of her bones, her internal organs shattered, and finally she died in the dance, her legs still dancing with her dead body.

The little girl held on for a few more seconds, and the child's body was so soft that her toes touched the back of her head, her heels touched her chest, and her calves even went around her neck. But soon, a high jump shattered her head against the stone wall above, and the headless corpse twitched a few times before finally falling to the ground.

Then, the red shoes appeared on the feet of the men in the procession, and one by one they danced after a brief moment of fear.

The blond-haired man and the child in his arms also fell into a frenzied dance, and the female demigod who had lost her feet rolled to the ground, and she watched in horror as a pumpkin carriage appeared out of thin air, and the tin soldiers carried her into the carriage and drove the wooden horse out of the passage.

Behind her, all the survivors were dancing madly and breaking their necks, spitting blood and dying, while a strange dance came from far and near, and a pair of wooden feet in red dancing shoes tiptoed onto an elegant ballet, and it jumped lightly, landed on the back rut of the pumpkin carriage, and followed the pumpkin carriage to the outside world.

……

"That's right."

After confirming the death of the last person, Edward patted the wishing lamp on his hand: "Bernadette is dead, Russell is also near, the king of Rune wants to become the new Black Emperor, she is mentally normal, healthy, has not been polluted, and the godhood ceremony is this year." ”

The wick of the wishing lamp lit up suddenly.

"So, you can start thinking about what else you can give me other than essentia clues."
