Armor of Imperishable: Dawn of the Sea Chapter 8: Darkness and Light
Athena hurried through the dense forest, rushing to the ruins she had been visiting every day for the past few days.
Before that, the tall, burly, gold-armored body had its back to her, pondering her report.
"It seems······ The time of the curse has come after all······" The body turned around, revealing a face with a righteous face, which made people awe when they saw it.
"If you want to lift the curse, you must find tenacity. But today, the strength of tenacity is still well preserved in ······ No one knows, and if anyone does, it will be a disaster. ”
"Disaster is coming?" Athena was puzzled.
"It's easy to understand. The man said: "If you want to rule the entire King Continent, none of the five miracles can be missing, and the power of tenacity is now well preserved here in the Land of the Brave, if people know about it, it will definitely lead to disaster." He thought for a moment, and immediately nodded: "Yes, this is the only way, you go to find them immediately, let them not return to Haidu, bring them to me, and I will arrange their accommodation." ”
After listening to the adult's story, Athena also understood the seriousness of the matter, once that tenacity appeared, there would immediately be people who coveted it to come out and snatch it, and then the land of the brave and the sea would not be able to escape the catastrophe, once the tenacity was lost, then the unlucky one would be the entire king continent.
"It's nearby. She had been walking all the way for more than two days, and she couldn't help but feel a little tired, as long as the rest of the Demon Dao family was still far away, then it shouldn't be far from goodbye.
"Whoosh!" Athena, though a little tired, kept an eye on the four directions, and no small sound could escape her ears, and with a random horizontal shield, she blocked the two flying needles that emitted silver light.
She looked down at the silver needle that had flickered twice on the ground and then lost its luster, and became more vigilant and frightened, and said sharply, "Who is using such a vicious weapon?"
"I can't believe that you actually recognize our Soul Eater Silver Needle. A grim voice rang out all around, but there was no one to speak.
Athena carefully searched the surroundings, and could not find out where the speaker was.
"I know what you're going to spread the word about, so I have to stop you. Of course, if you promise not to pass on the message, I should let you go, okay?"
"What nonsense!" Athena said disdainfully, "You are not a member of our Paladin's training team, and you still want to do anything wrong in the Land of the Brave?"
"Really?" said him, a dark, ever-changing oval-shaped object suddenly appeared in front of Athena, swelling violently as if it was about to burst.
Athena immediately focused on facing ahead and held the shield in front of her, in case the black thing exploded and affected her.
"Hahahahaha! Soldiers don't get tired of cheating!" The presumptuous and arrogant voice suddenly sounded from behind him, emitting a black aura that enveloped the woods and the sky.
Athena was startled, and just as she was about to turn back, her heart ached, and when she looked down, she saw that she had been pierced by a black sharp gun-like object, the tip of which was quite similar to her own spear, but the whole body was dark, and there was no light on it.
"You ······" Athena turned back with difficulty, but her frightened arms went limp, and the sneak attacker stretched out a long palm and slapped her holy shield directly to the ground.
But Athena has not yet escaped from fear and shock, this sneak attacker, not only can his arms be long and can be stretched and contracted, but the most strange thing is that he actually has a head but no face!
Cain, Luna, Marco Polo, and Crazy Iron waited for three full days in the ruins of the Demon Manor, and they didn't wait for Athena, all of them were a little breathless. Marco Polo looked at the siblings Cain and Luna, who were also sitting cross-legged but did not speak, thought for a long time, and suddenly said: "Actually, I have such a problem, if you encounter an enemy, so that you two brothers and sisters can only live, and each of you has the opportunity to decide who lives and who dies, what will you choose?"
"Well······ this" Kain hesitated for a moment, but pointed at Luna firmly and said, "Of course, to protect the little sister." ”
"Very good!" Marco Polo immediately leaned over to Luna's side, grinning, as if trying to get her answer.
"Humph!" Luna didn't respond, just turned her head and said, "Boring!"
"Hey, hey!" Crazy Iron looked at it and said unhappily, "Is this question so difficult to answer?
"You ······" Luna said a word, but didn't know how to contradict him. Marco Polo said proudly: "If you don't say it, I know that you and your brother must have the same opinion, both to protect you." Because you're small, the big ones should let you. Understandable, understandable!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? I didn't mean that!" Luna retorted, "If there really is such a powerful enemy, why would the two of us die together, and we will never agree to his routine of killing and leaving whom." ”
As he spoke, a burst of bright light suddenly emitted from the woods not far away, shaking the surrounding trees in one direction before slowly recovering.
"What's going on?" Cain jumped from the ruins first, sword in his hand and hurried towards the place where the energy had exploded. Luna, Marco Polo, and Crazy Iron followed.
With only the spear left in her hand, Athena knew that she would not be able to defeat the strange man in front of her, so she threw the spear into the sky in an attempt to send a warning signal.
The spear had just been thrown upwards and was about to explode when a bubble suddenly erupted from the grass on the other side, just in time to touch the pikeman enveloping the spear in it, giving it no chance to explode. After the bubble slowly landed with the spear, the faceless strange man in front of him pulled out his black spear and said, "Just look at it." "Walk into the black oval that had just caught Athena's attention and disappear.
Athena's body was covered in black and golden blood, and she didn't care about anything else, and crawled forward to find Luna. The bubble suddenly stopped in front of her, and exploded with a "pop", and as soon as the spear that had been condensed for a long time landed, it caused a violent explosion, but because it did not explode in the air, no one else could see anything.
Athena was already dying, and where could she still withstand an explosion of this magnitude, she was immediately blown into ashes and scattered on the ground beside her.
As soon as Cain and the others arrived, they found nothing, and even the blood stains were washed away by the explosion. Just as the four of them were still wondering what was going on, a little girl with a long ponytail dragging on the ground came out with her buttocks twisted.
"You are ······" The four of them knew that the people in the Land of Warriors were all masters, and they didn't dare to be careless, so they immediately held their weapons at her.
"Don't be so nervous. The girl pointed to Kain and said, "Don't forget what I told you." ”
"Fingering, what pointing?" Cain was puzzled, "I haven't seen you, what are you pointing to me?"
"Naturally, you haven't seen me. The little girl said proudly, "If I could still let you find out when I am hiding, wouldn't I be in vain?" but I hope you have not forgotten what I said to you—knowledge is power." ”
"It's you, senior. Cain remembered a voice that had given him a hint when he was fighting with the Demon Armor a long time ago. So he took the lead in saluting the little girl and said, "I wonder what advice you have for coming here, senior?"
"Absolutely. The little girl paced on the spot, but was very funny because she was too short.
"I have my own status, and it is only appropriate for me to seek you personally. ”
"Yes, yes. Marco Polo also pretended to be flattering and smiled: "Your Excellency, please tell us about the Dead Sea Paperwork as soon as possible." ”
"Clever ghost!" the little girl nodded Marco Polo's nose, although she was more than a head shorter than Marco Polo, and it was not easy to reach out and touch Marco Polo's face.
"It seems that you know that if you want to end the curse of the Demon Dao Family and the Sea Capital, you must find the Dead Sea Papers. But I must tell you that the Dead Sea Papers are in the capital of the sea, and you will not find them in the Land of the Warriors. ”
"Really?" Luna wondered what the person in front of her was, "Is that what you mean, or is that what someone else meant?" Why didn't the female warrior Athena I saw before come?"
"She?" the little girl waved her hand speechlessly, "her status is very low, how can she compare with me?" I tell you that I am Lord Arthur's right-hand man, I mean, that is, Lord Arthur's meaning." ”
"Really?" Both Cain and Luna knew what a powerful and righteous figure this "Master Arthur" was, and they had heard that Arthur did have such a small child-like helper by his side, so they believed her.
"But there's a problem. Marco Polo spread his hands and said, "The ruler of Haidu, the Builder Family, does not have the Dead Sea Papers, otherwise she would not have sent me to the Land of the Brave and the East to find it. Why did she send me if the Dead Sea Papers were in her possession? She shouldn't be that stupid. ”
"Don't you understand?" said the little girl, Gege, "If she admits that the Dead Sea Papers are in her hands, won't she be causing trouble herself?" Now that the curse has been fulfilled in Haidu, if the curse is lifted, maybe Haidu's problems will be gone, but can the interests of the city builder family still be maintained?"
"Original······ That's it!" Marco Polo slapped his hands and said, "She imprisoned the master, and it turned out to be a cover to find someone to go out to find the documents of the four seas!" "That's right!" "Crazy Iron also said: "The pollution of Haidu is caused by her, she must be stopped and get the Dead Sea documents!"
Kain looked at them so indignant, and said, "I've been to Haidu, and the pollution there is really serious, so it seems that it's time for us to go together." Find that Builder family and lift our curse, and there's nothing going on, right?"
"Hehehe. The faceless stranger waited for the four of them to travel south to Haidu before reappearing in the Black Domain.
"How?" The little girl's voice suddenly aged several times and said: "That's all I can do, whether I can take Haidu in one fell swoop depends on your ability - Lord Nangong, whom I admire the most." ”
"Hahahaha, no problem. The faceless stranger said: "These four people and Milady are against each other, and there is no one else in the sea who is my opponent, you can rest assured - my most admired Lord Merlin." ”
The two laughed together as they disappeared in an instant.
What no one noticed was that the ashes formed by Athena's death gradually gathered, gradually glued together in the light of the setting sun, and continued to take shape. Finally, in the night, a new golden winged Athena hovered over the forest again, searching for her companions and invading enemies.
"Commit to time, sanction to death!"
