142. Reach people know their fate
With Earwind entering the plane tree behind him to chase after him, Fisher no longer hesitated, he looked at the deep space below, thought for a second or two, and then took out the fluid sword in his arms, Emhart immediately retracted into his arms in tacit understanding, and fell down with him.
With each drop of distance, Fisher slowed down with his fluid sword by grabbing or piercing into the wall, and as he descended in the direction of the root of the sycamore tree, he asked the Moon Princess behind him,
"What is the life class of that incomplete pedestal now?"
"It's a little taller than my mother, and it's a mythical creature. Although it has no sanity and can only use brute force, it is not something you can deal with now. The guy who is coming this way now feels better than you, is that your friend? If the two of you join forces, I guess we have a few chances of winning."
"No, we are enemies who want to kill each other, and he, like you thousands of years ago, wants to use the spirit world to enter the mythical realm."
"Ah, it's not fun to repeat the story of the past, why don't you go and discuss it with him and see if you can shake hands for a while, what do you think?"
“.”
Fisher didn't say anything more, just descended quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
This huge and incomparably wide space leads all the way down to the unknown abyss, and although there is dead silence and darkness all around at this time, it is not difficult to imagine that this place should have been very lively when the phoenixes were still there.
They used to spread their wings and travel through the space here, going to different locations of the plane trees. The sound of the phoenixes talking and their wings flapping should be heard at the same time.
And the more Fisher descended, the brighter his surroundings became, as the originally beautiful buildings around him were gradually covered in thin layers of growing ice.
The glowing Zhenbing below was like a Wanhua mirror, spiraling and twisting to a pentagonal snowflake-shaped platform at the bottom, on which there seemed to be many shimmering instruments, and below the platform, there were large swaths of extremely thick Zhenbing
With Fisher's excellent eyesight, he continued to descend through the ice beneath the platform, and he seemed to see a vague but extremely large shadow in it, and at the same time, the Moon Princess also spoke,
"That's the root of the giant tree, its energy is almost endless, and with the instruments we built above, we can control the mechanism inside the plane tree and the space around it."
Fisher slowly landed on the snowflake platform with Valentina, and the fluorescent ice around him spread little by little, illuminating the scene from the platform to the scene.
At that moment, a glimmer of light in Valentina's eyes floated up like a firefly, flying towards the corner of the instrument.
Fisher and Valentina followed the firefly, only to see that in that direction, at the edge of the platform, sat a rather tall crystalline corpse.
The skeleton was about two meters tall, and was dressed in a beautiful satin that was about to be fully weathered, neither the style nor the workmanship that Fisher had never seen, and she tilted her head slightly, revealing a pair of wings behind her that had been scattered into a skeleton.
These obvious characteristics all show that the person in front of me, who doesn't know how long he has been dead, is the noble bloodline that has long disappeared from the world, the phoenix species.
The skeleton sat quietly on the edge of the instrument, its hands long since turned white gracefully holding a ball that shimmered with a faint light.
The ball was a holy relic made of angels, and the fluorescent light that flew out of Valentina's eyes fell to the center of the ball, I don't know if it was an illusion, but after the fireflies flew back, the light on the ball dimmed a lot.
"It's . The corpse of the moon princess, the skeleton of the phoenix? ”
Emhardt also wanted to lean over and speculate on the appearance of the real phoenix through the corpse with only one skeleton left, but just as he was about to fly over, a rather gentle unfamiliar female voice came from the ball,
"Mr. Fisher, I don't have much time, please turn on the lock switch of the instrument, the valve on the left is the lock device, the right is the space meter, the light point in the middle represents the sycamore, and the circle around is the space turbulence that you can control, twist the button to the left, let the circle completely wrap the sycamore and it will be successful."
Fisher put Valentina behind him beside him, and she was still a little unaccustomed to no one snatching the wheat from her, Fisher squatted on the ground and looked at the instrument on it, but he didn't immediately start twisting the instrument, but asked,
"These, don't you need the blood of the phoenix to control them?"
"Yes, of course, the easier things you have in your own home, the better."
“.”
Fisher was silent for a moment, then suddenly turned his head to look at the corpse of the Moon Princess next to the instrument, and asked,
"Moon Princess, I have a little doubt I want you to answer."
"You know that the incomplete pedestal wants your last bloodline, and if you saw the future before you died, you should know that your last bloodline was inherited by a fragile human, and it would be a great risk for Valentina to enter the plane tree to perfect the pedestal and let the terrifying existence in the spirit world come, but you still left a will for her to return. What exactly did you see in the prophecy that would make you feel so confident that it would be okay to bring her back?"
"Moreover, you said that the phoenix can only see the future when it is inadvertently stimulated, so I have two questions for you: First, did you not see the prophecy when you were born in the womb? Even after thousands of years, you still miss that child, and you must have been stimulated by the fact that there could never have been a prophecy of birth, but you didn't say anything about it. ”
"Two, the unconscious curse once spoke when it was chasing the other six clans at the bottom of the mountain, and it kept shouting 'traitor', at first I thought it was the six clans who betrayed the phoenix, but now I know that it is chasing you, so can I speculate that the traitor it is shouting is actually you?"
Fisher turned his head, the body of the Moon Princess was long gone, only the small round ball she was holding in her hand was flickering, and it was not until a few seconds later that the Moon Princess's gentle voice came again,
Clever boy, you have a quick mind, and only now did I feel that you had a slight resemblance to that out-of-tune fellow. However, there is no need to be so conspiracy-theorized to doubt my intentions. The prophecy of the phoenixes, if the weaker phoenixes see it, is a picture, like a picture that has happened and is stored in your memory, a past and ending that cannot be changed. ”
"But for the more powerful us, it is different, what we see is not a picture, but a feeling, which is the direction of [fate], the opportunity for the fine silk threads entangled in someone and something to be fluttered and changed by the breeze of fate. All difficulties are seen by us as a knot of threads, and the more difficult it is to untie, the more it will cause people to panic. ”
"The mythical war that my brother saw was an extremely complex knot of fate, and there was almost no possibility of unraveling, so our whole clan would seek help from the spirit world, but we did not expect that this was the cause of our destruction, and it was part of the knot. And I did see another more distant prophecy when I gave birth to an heir, and before me was a knot of death beyond the imagination of any living being, even the knot that caused the destruction of our whole race was only a tiny part of it. ”
"If you untie the knot of our people, then the knot of death will be completely gone; But even if you give up the life of the Phoenix clan, it is still unknown whether the dead knot can be untied after that, and if it were you, how should you choose? ”
Fisher's eyes shook slightly, and the [Prophecy of the Destruction of the World] written at the beginning of the manual of the Asian Mother suddenly popped up in his mind, and he seemed to have read the overtone in the Moon Princess's words, and said,
"You can't make up your mind, you tell this prophecy to your mother, the King of the Phoenix, and she makes a choice for you. Chose the latter, right? You and your mother gave up their race and chose to provide hope for the future untying of the dead knot, which is why, the god-like pollution consumed your whole race in an instant, but you and your mother seemed to be in danger, and it turned out that they were prepared to freeze the pedestal and close the sycamore tree in the midst of danger. ”
"But maybe my vision as a human being is too narrow, I can't see the connection between these two things, and maybe you will give up communicating with the spirit world at that time, and not let the god of the sky descend to form a pedestal through the flesh of your whole race, will it be more useful to help the dead knot that follows?"
The beads in the moon princess's arms dimmed little by little, and her gentle voice became smaller and smaller,
"Children, the eyes of the race that can see the fate of the world will become completely different, any connection of reality is only the appearance of fate, we are too low to explore its real connection, just know the result is enough. You must have been here long after my death, so I would like to ask you, in addition to the wars of the original mythical species, in the history of your life, there is also an invasion of the chaos species? Can you still feel the threat of the spiritual presence to the world? ”
“.”
Fisher pondered for a moment without replying, to be honest, it was only after he came to the North that he realized that he still faced a terrifying threat in the spirit realm, and before that, including the reality of the invasion of the Chaos species, only existed in myths and legends.
From this point of view, the sacrifice of the phoenixes did alleviate the oppression of the spirit world and reality by the strange existence for some reason, at least since he was born, he did not feel the desperate situation that the phoenix faced at that time.
"If the gods can be believed, then they should have appeared long ago when countless beings were oppressed by tyrants, and the direct intervention of the gods in the world would have serious consequences, let alone the spiritual realm that they could not reach. Myths can more or less feel the fluctuations of the thread of fate, but they will not make the same choices as us. If you want to blame it, you can only blame fate, and give this ability to the phoenix who has tasted the pain of life"
"But it's not completely unpaid, is it, for us, for all creatures in the North."
"In the mythical war, the mythical races are well aware of our efforts and did not spread the war to the north, many northern races have been multiplied to this day, and they survived the mythical war safely; There was even a time when the heyday of the pedestal spirit escaped from the unlocked plane tree and fled towards the ocean, trying to snatch back the last of my bloodline, and the powerful presence from the ocean even drove it back to the sycamore."
"As far as we are concerned, although our whole race is gone, our figures and stories are still alive in the north, and the people we have sheltered have sung our praises and our drinking and merry-making companions for thousands of years still obeying my one-word command, perhaps, such an ending is the best for our phoenix species."
"Although we have never crossed the mythical rank of the moat, we have unexpectedly become the gods of the North, which is something that countless mythical species and even true gods that are so powerful than us that it is difficult to do."
Fisher turned his head to look at Valentina next to him, he didn't ask the Moon Princess so much just now not to suspect her purpose at all, after all, this matter has passed for so long, and it doesn't make the slightest sense to ask about the meaning of a completely dead person.
He was just concerned about how to get Valentina, who was about to die, back, her human body could not bear the blood of the phoenix all the time, even if she didn't come to the sycamore tree, she would die outside, but the moon princess explained a lot and failed to give a solution, which made Fisher quite a headache, but seemed to understand the meaning of the moon princess's words, so he asked again,
"So, asking Valentina to come back with you also has something to do with the knot of fate you saw? Will this help her solve the problem of bloodline? ”
"I don't know, what do you think?"
“.”
Fisher, who didn't get an answer, sighed and closed his eyes, one of his hands pressed on the console, and according to the instructions of the Moon Princess, he manipulated the spatial turbulence to completely lock the sycamore, and all the mechanisms in it were opened, and at this moment, the completely closed and locked sycamore turned into the final battlefield for him, Earwind and the pedestal.
"Empty, empty!"
With the sound of machinery coming from inside the sycamore tree, Fisher stared at the flickering light of the ice below, and he asked in a low voice, but he didn't know if he was asking the Moon Princess or himself,
"You have done your best to provide everything you can offer, but after all, the knot of death that has yet to come is not untied by your own hands. You have been giving and waiting for thousands of years, but if from now until now, if one of the descendants makes a mistake or does something wrong, you will all lose."
The Moon Princess smiled, but it was obvious that the energy of the relics she had left behind was getting less and less, and her voice was becoming more and more indistinct, she just said,
"My mother and I are well aware of this truth, but after all, the number of fate is difficult to guess, the gentleman should see the opportunity, and the master should also know the fate, since the choice has been made, there should be no room for regret. I'll leave the rest to you. ”
The gentle voice of the Moon Princess came to an abrupt end, and the small round ball that the corpse was holding in both hands suddenly shattered with her last words, turning into a pile of temperatureless residue.
However, Valentina next to her squeezed her palm unknowingly after hearing the last words of the Moon Princess, looked at Fisher who was thinking with her head down next to her, smiled and pulled his sleeve, and said,
"It's okay, Fisher, don't think about that now, you still have to deal with the pedestal left by the phoenix and the enemy chasing you, don't you?"
Seeing that Fisher didn't move, as if she was still thinking, she sat on the ground and pulled his big hand to her cheek, feeling the touch and temperature of her skin, Fisher couldn't help but turn her head to look at her, and Valentina also sat on the ground and looked up at him and smiled, and raised the magic ring on her hand,
"It's okay, the ring you gave me will always protect me, Fisher."
"You'll be fine, Valentina."
Looking at Valentina, who was still optimistic in front of him, Fisher let out a sigh of relief, and put her on his back again, he looked up at the top of the plane tree, only to see that the outer side of the glass where the moonlight could be seen at the top seemed to be completely distorted, and even the aurora could no longer be seen, but at the same time, the originally tightly locked doors in the plane tree were also loosened one by one, so that Fisher immediately felt that behind a door in the middle of the plane tree, there was an extremely terrifying soul fluctuation.
And at the door, in the same direction they had just come, Earwind, who was chasing him, also entered.
Contrary to Fisher's previous guess, Earwind went straight in the direction of the pedestal.
