Chapter 195: The Land of the Rising Wind, the Beginning of the Pilgrimage (Subscription Requested!) )
The rising sun emerges from the distant peaks, piercing the darkness with its vibrant light, spreading light and warmth all over the earth.
And Leo, Acat, and the Twilight Sword Saint are facing in the direction where the rising sun is rising.
At the top of the hundred-meter-high Heavenly Sword Temple, the surging mist filled the air, giving people a hazy beauty.
"Acater, let me ask you one last time, are you sure you want to perform the pilgrimage?"
The Twilight Sword Master turned to face Acate, and asked in a deep voice.
There was no hesitation in Acater's eyes, and he nodded heavily: "I'm ready." ”
"That is ......" The Twilight Sword Saint bowed his head slightly, turning his gaze to Leo, "Your Excellency, Leo, please. ”
"Don't worry." Leo smiled, his right hand holding the longsword, his fingertips brushing over the gorgeous cyan gem on the sword grid.
Seeing this, the Twilight Sword Saint nodded: "In another half an hour, that is, the day of the start of the Holy Wind Tour, I will use the Heavenly Sword Sanctuary as the base to attract the power of [Storm Aria], in exchange for a trace of the manifestation of the first wind, and start the tour ceremony, then, Acat, you will use the blood of the wind as a guide to draw the first wind to the complete arrival." ”
"I understand." Acater nodded heavily, these things he had already repeated silently in his heart many times, and he knew them by heart.
"After the parade of the Holy Wind begins, because of the arrival of the first wind, every move of the two of you will be reflected in the 'sight' of the people who believe in the Wind God."
"The whole ceremony, a total of 15 days, in these 15 days, you will follow the footsteps of the first generation of the wind god and the first head of the Knights of Lanloins, step through fifteen cities, and finally arrive at the national capital of Winsted, the magnetic capital, and in the center of the magnetic capital, on the path of the first wind in front of the Wind God Tower, carry out three levels of challenges, after passing the three levels, you can obtain the qualification to climb the Wind God Tower, and complete the final ceremony at the top of the Wind God Tower."
The Twilight Sword Saint recounted the process of the ritual in its entirety.
Leo and Arcater had known these things beforehand.
With that said, the Twilight Sword Saint stopped talking, closed his eyes and began to adjust his state.
The towing ceremony was not easy for him, and he needed to cheer up 120,000 points.
Leo and Arcatel looked at each other.
At this moment, Acater's eyes, as in the past, there was still no hesitation, but there was only incomparable firmness.
And Leo's eyes are full of expectations.
He was looking forward to what kind of people the Kingdom Council would send to stop him during this pilgrimage.
What kind of strength will the Legend of the String Moon on top of the Legend of the Crescent Moon have?
……
Cidu, the main hall of the Kingdom Council, the inner hall.
On both sides of the cold and majestic long table, ten members of the council were already seated.
Of the twelve councillors, the remaining ten councillors were present, except for the second [Queen] and the fifth [Deacon], who were going to oversee the Candlestar Mission.
In mid-air behind the long table, a virtual projection was suspended, which was still gray at the moment, except for the upper left corner, showing a countdown.
“0:29:29”
On the first chair on the left, the chief councilor said in a condensed voice with his hands on the long table, his fingers crossed.
"Have you arranged all the 'scattered people'?"
"Of course~" [Queen] sitting beside him smiled coquettishly: "According to the intelligence, at the Sword Dao Exchange Conference in Sam Ancient City thirteen days ago, the strength displayed by the Pilgrim Arkat has reached the limit of the extraordinary peak, and it is estimated that after thirteen days, his strength can reach half a step legend." ”
"To be on the safe side, fifteen cities, twelve of them, I have arranged a half-step legend, and the other three have even arranged a crescent legend to block them."
Hearing this, the Chief Councillor nodded, because of the distortion of his face, the other Councillors could not see his expression, but from the stable magical environment around them, they could feel that the Chief Councilor was very satisfied with [the Queen's] arrangement.
Legends, even in the whole of Winsted, there aren't many.
It is clear that [the Queen] has paid a lot of price for allowing twelve half-step legends and three legends to risk "ruining their reputations" in the parade of the Holy Wind.
"Can you confirm the identity and strength of the Pilgrimage Guardian?"
After a brief pause, the Chief Councillor spoke up again.
[The Queen] shook her head: "I can't confirm that after the last attack, the ancient city of Sammu has been completely under martial law, and the magic pattern circle has shrouded the whole process, and the intelligence officers can't hear more information." ”
"Then wait for the ritual to begin." The Chief Councillor said slowly, "No matter how they hide it, once the ritual begins, the identity of the Guardian of the Parade will be exposed to the public's gaze. ”
"I wish that Twilight Sword Master guy could end up in person, hehe."
At this moment, in addition to the ancient city of Sam and the Kingdom Council, some ancient forces in Wensted who knew about the Parade of the Holy Wind also stopped what they were doing and quietly waited for the upcoming centennial event.
In the old hall where the bonfire burns, eight robed figures seated around the round table gaze at a large white crystal in the center of the round table.
At the bottom of the crystal, black air currents are constantly appearing, eroding the white areas.
"The time is coming." At the head of the round table, a blood-colored figure tattooed on the edge of the robe said in a hoarse voice.
……
In the center of the ruins, which were full of cracks and signs of weathering, a stone statue of a knight stood with only half of its body left, and beside him, an incomparably large monster slowly opened its eyes, revealing an amber vertical child's hole.
……
At the summit of the mountain surrounded by ancient trees, six burly figures in armor gather here.
The armor on their bodies was in tatters, but the blood-colored cloak soaked in dark red testified to the boundless bloody battle that several of them had experienced.
The firmest faith in gray hair, ravinely countenance, and cloudy eyes......
They are the ancient knights who have traveled through history.
……
The ancient city of Sam, the top of the Temple of the Heavenly Sword.
The moment of destiny, in the expectation of countless people, is finally approaching the end of the arrival.
The Twilight Sword Master opened his eyes, his gaze swept over Leo and Arcater in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "I'm going to start." ”
With that, he sat down cross-legged.
In the next moment, a pure cyan streamer emerged from his body and spread downward, covering the entire Heavenly Sword Temple.
Where the streamer passed, on the wall of the Heavenly Sword Temple, brilliant cyan lines appeared.
The huge vision immediately attracted the attention of the people of the entire ancient city of Sam.
They all stopped what they were doing, and they all turned their eyes to the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the earth-shattering giant sword that seemed to be inserted into the ground.
At this moment, on the sword body of the giant sword, countless cyan lines were intertwined and entangled, forming a strange pattern.
"What's going on?" The young people were stunned, wondering why the building, which had been seen day and night since they were born, had undergone such a change.
Soon, an elderly man over 100 years old brought them an explanation.
These old men with white beards and trembling walks, have experienced the washing of time, witnessed a lot of things, and after seeing the strange and familiar scene in front of them, they became excited after a short period of stunned: "This is the great pilgrimage ceremony!" ”
"Legend has it that five hundred years ago, the first generation of the Wind God, with her first knights, set out from the ancient city of Sam to quell the chaos and destroy the demon gods, which created today's Winster, and the once-in-a-century Parade of the Holy Wind is a ritual that simulates this glorious process."
"Only knights with the blood of the wind are qualified to make a pilgrimage to the Wind God Tower in the center of Winsted and offer sacrifices to the First Wind."
"I didn't expect that in my lifetime, I would be lucky enough to see this epic scene again......"
The old people's stories answered the doubts of the young people, and also made their emotions extremely excited.
When the cyan glow completely covered the Heavenly Sword Temple, the next moment, a huge ring circle centered on it appeared silently.
The ring circle engraved with dense runes slowly turned, and in the very center, at the top of the Heavenly Sword Temple, the pure cyan long sword was lit up little by little.
This dreamlike scene caused the people of the entire ancient city of Sam, including the professionals, to fall into an incomparable shock.
When the brilliant cyan light completely filled the magic circle, a huge pillar of magical light with a diameter of more than 100 meters soared into the sky, straight into the depths of the clouds, and the huge magic shock wave caused the clouds within hundreds of kilometers to show a ring shape that spread outward layer by layer.
The giant pillar of magic light quickly disappeared, and in the depths of the heavenly dome, a cyan gap appeared.
The next second.
"Kacha!"
A crisp sound appeared in the hearts of every person who believed in the god of wind, and at this moment, no matter where they were in the territory of Wensted, no matter what state they were in, such a scene appeared in front of them.
A young man in gray clothes was half-kneeling on the ground, holding a sword in his right hand and holding it on the blade of the sword left and right.
Drops of bright red and cyan blood dripped from the palm of his right hand.
The blood did not fall under the force of gravity, but was pulled by some force, rising at an indescribable speed, merging into the cyan gap in the depths of the sky.
The gap barrier that was touched by the blood, silently dissolved, more and more blood fused, and when the last bit of barrier disappeared, everyone's hearts were shocked.
Under their witness, a wisp of green wind that seemed to have existed at the beginning of the world slowly flowed out of the gap, and in the next moment, it fell downward, merging into the body of the gray-clothed young man.
Then, on the young man's forehead, a magnificent pattern appeared that seemed to open his wings.
When the young man opened his eyes, he looked at another young man dressed in white beside him, stretched out his hand, and the green wind flew out of his fingertips and landed on the eyebrows of the young man in white, leaving a pattern of the same shape.
This is, the Mark of the Guardian of the Pilgrimage!
……
Cidu, the main hall of the Kingdom Council.
When the face of the young man in white was reflected in the screen suspended in mid-air, the chief councilor immediately spoke:
"Who is he?"
[The Queen] closed her eyes, her consciousness merged into the Demon Net Center, and after a few seconds, she opened her eyes and replied: "Leo, Candle Star Man, the specific identity is unknown, he first appeared in the port of Perynse more than a month ago, and he made a move in the kendo exchange conference in the ancient city of Sam thirteen days ago, and his strength is suspected to be beyond the peak limit, and there is no record in the more information Demon Net Center system. ”
At this time, the [cavalry] sitting in seat No. 2 on the right side of the long table spoke up: "Lord Chief Councillor, in the past few days, I have investigated the death of the lava knight, and asked the old city lord of Port Peryns to verify it. ”
"Is that so......" The Chief Councillor's finger tapped lightly on the long table, "It doesn't matter, the First Wind will clearly indicate to everyone the strength of the Pilgrim and the Pilgrimage Guardian, so as to define the maximum strength of the three major checkpoints and the challengers along the way, and when the Initial Wind is over and they start the Pilgrimage Path, it will be revealed." It's a pity that the old guy from the Twilight Sword Saint didn't go into battle in person, which really makes me feel sorry......"
The members on both sides of the long table had different looks in their eyes when they heard this.
For a moment, everyone was speechless, just staring at the screen in front of them and waiting quietly.
They didn't have to wait long, the moment the cyan gap in the depths of the heavenly dome "healed" again, and the huge ring circulation circle disappeared, the names of Acatel and Leo appeared in the minds of all the people who believed in the wind god at the same time.
At the same time, the strength of the two emerged.
Half-step legend, half-step legend!
The strength of the two is a half-step legend!
Seeing this scene, although the members on both sides of the long table had no expression on their faces, they couldn't help but have contempt in their eyes.
It's not that they're arrogant, it's a half-step legend, and in their eyes, it's just a big ant.
Among the twelve councillors, even the weakest twelfth councillor has the strength to rival the legend of the moon after equipping the magic energy machine.
There is a gap between the half-step legend and the crescent moon legend that cannot be crossed, and the gap between the crescent moon legend and the string moon legend is also terrifying.
Not to mention the gap between the half-step legend and the string moon legend.
"Heh, half-step legendary ......" the Chief Councilor stopped tapping his fingers on the table, and crossed his hands again: "Fearless struggle." ”
"[Queen], I'll leave this tour to you, and I'll report back to you if you have something."
Before the voice fell, the figure of the chief councillor had disappeared from his seat, and it was obvious that after knowing the strength of the pilgrimage and the pilgrimage keeper, the chief councillor was no longer worried about the outcome of the parade.
In the Parade of the Holy Wind, the strength of the Level Guardian can be up to two levels higher than that of the Pilgrim and the Pilgrimage Guardian.
And the strength of the half-step legend is two orders higher, and it is the legend of the string moon.
Half-Step Legend defeats Legend of String Moon?
It's a fantasy.
Don't say jokes like the half-step legend defeating the String Moon Legend, since the Demon God War five hundred years ago, it has never been recorded that there is a half-step legend that can defeat the crescent moon legend.
Not to mention that before coming to the three major levels, in the hearts of all the councilors, including the chief councilor, Acatel and Leo couldn't even intercept the "scattered people" in the fifteen main cities.
This pilgrimage ceremony has just begun, and the ending is already doomed!
