Chapter 233: The Serpent of Destiny

The deep purple sword light ploughed the ground!

The huge arc-shaped air curtain pushed forward horizontally, straight into the two who flew in mid-air.

Transformed into gargoyles, Hilna and Talleyrand's eyes are crystal clear obsidian, reflecting the moonlit sword curtain.

"Talelang, live."

Hilna whispered, and thrust Talleyrand's chest hard, breaking free from the other's embrace.

Talielang shrank and subconsciously reached out to grab Sylna's hand, but it was empty.

Flapping her mutilated wings, she barely managed to glide for some distance, straight towards the huge purple sword curtain.

"Sheena! Come back!

”

Seeing her lover's actions and knowing that she wanted to sacrifice herself to buy him time to escape, Talleyrand couldn't help but cry out urgently.

Sylna threw an alchemical potion into her mouth as fast as she could, and with a clatter, she chewed the glass bottle and swallowed it along with the liquid and glass shards.

The stony skin on her body instantly hardened, and her color changed from gray to black.

Countless images flashed in the obsidian eyes, and finally stopped on the body of a man in black, who was a member of the [Arcane] team of Talleyrand's executioner team.

With the last of her extraordinary powers, Hilna used her "borrowing the past" to temporarily possess some of the power of the [Arcane], and once again put on an incomparably thick airflow barrier for herself.

She turned her head and opened her mouth, trying to say the last words to Talleyrand, but it was too late.

The next second.

Rumble!

Purple sword light drowned out the gargoyle's figure.

Talleyrand was blown away by a huge shock wave, and after several weeks of churning, he fell to the ground.

Peng!

He got up, ignoring the dust and dirt, and looked up into the distance.

A mangled body, falling from mid-air, was his lover Sylna. The body of the wax figure has been destroyed, and the spirituality has evaporated......

She was gone forever.

"No ......"

Talleyrand's eyes welled up with tears, and he fell to his knees.

The moonlight sword curtain that Biles slashed out was not completely resisted by Sylna, and the remaining sword qi shattered and flew irregularly in all directions.

A small sharp sword aura slashed across Talleyrand's cheek, cutting through his stony skin, but he remained indifferent.

Talleyrand was silent, letting the sword aura blow through him.

Blood oozed from the cracks in his body, and he remained motionless, his eyes flashing through countless images.

Rushing......

The rapid swiping of the pages sounded, and the image in his eyes regressed to the moment when Sylna pushed him away.

Talleyrand stretched out his hand, trying to drag her out of history, but he was like the moon in water, helpless.

"Hilna......

His hands hung limply, and tears flowed down his face.

Talleyrand immediately thought of a possibility, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

"As long as she is promoted to the high sequence, there will definitely be a chance to get her back from the past history...... I can't die, I want to live, I want to ...... Revenge! ”

The images in his eyes continued to recede, finding himself before the battle, and then overlapping.

History in retrospect!

Talleyrand's eyes cracked with a snap, like shattered obsidian.

His body miraculously recovered, but his spirit had been irreversibly damaged.

Byers pursued, and the black sword fell sharply, taking Talleyrand's head.

Rumble!

The gargoyle behind Talleyrand closed its wings, blocking the blow and using it to flip backwards and widen the distance.

A stream of black fire erupted from his mouth, forcing the black knight back.

"Byers, I'll come back to you."

Talleyrand looked directly at the black knight, his eyes indifferent, and his figure slowly disappeared.

He left the spirit realm.

Horizons of darkness.

Howard quietly observed the events in the spirit realm.

When Talleyrand managed to get out, she turned the scene again and fixed it on the silver kettle.

The script goes in a rough way, with Jack battling the Red Rose squad and being forced to consume the spell that contains Maggie's breath......

After that, I dropped a slap that took effect, allowing the Lamp Guards, which was originally only aimed at Biles, to guide Jack's side, prompting Maggie's avatar to intervene to stop it......"

He whispered.

"Sure enough, you were destined to bond with Maggie, and this is a vein that even I can't change...... But my needs are very small, I just need to take her off the stage temporarily. ”

Howard wasn't surprised by Maggie's presence.

To her surprise, Jack deviated from the direction of the script on his own without any interference. Although it is still just a symptom, it is already a little beyond her control.

"It's really surprising to me, where did those traces of the 'deep sea' on your body go? Not only did he not embark on the deep-sea route because of his 'fisherman' background, but chose the path of fate...... Who changed my settings? ”

Howard's calm eyes looked at the silver jug head in the spirit realm.

"Forget it, these don't matter anymore, it's just that your ending is slightly different."

She put away the script and black pen, stood up and took a step forward.

"But I still want to see it...... What the hell went wrong. ”

In the spirit realm.

The round-up of the Black Knight has come to an end.

Chen Lun watched as Sylna was slashed down by a sword, and Talleyrand fought back and fled from the spirit world.

He was a little surprised that this almost certain death situation was actually revived by Talleyrand.

But Mr. Biles is safe for now...... The pursuers of the Church of the Sun were eliminated by the God of Cats, and Jerome was targeted by the King of Killing, leaving only the Church of the Moon, which had not yet appeared...... But depending on the situation, they won't be here for a while. ’

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He beckoned to the four companions beside him, intending to come up and talk to Mr. Biles.

That's when it happened.

A man appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Blonde hair, three-dimensional facial features, deep eyes.

This person was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, like an ordinary lawyer, smiled at Chen Lun and stretched out his hand.

β€œοΌ

”

Chen Lun's hairs stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis arose.

The warning of spiritual intuition had almost reached a threshold.

But he was stunned to find that he couldn't move, and he couldn't even enter the limit state.

Biles, Bottle, Akbin and Drink, who were present, all saw this man at the same time, and also saw what this person wanted to do to Chen Lun, so they all wanted to stop him.

But they were all stunned.

A strong emotion of grief suddenly erupted in their hearts, for no reason, born out of thin air, and the wave of grief drowned them reluctantly.

Biles stood like a statue, Mr. Pot wailed, Mr. Bottle retracted the bronze bottle, Akbin fell to his knees, and Drinker fell directly to the ground with his head in his hands.

Sneer......

On Chen Lun's chest, countless phantoms of green vines were forcibly dragged out, forming a quaint book, which was caught in the hands of the strange blonde middle-aged man in front of him.

"Howard......!"

Chen Lun remembered the words of the cat god, contacted the man in front of him, and said the name with difficulty.

Howard held "Philip in Wonderland" and smiled at Chen Lun.

"Jack, don't be nervous, I don't mean anything...... Just a simple look at the progress. ”

With that, she opened the book in her hand.

Rumble!

A blinding white light flashed.

The figures of Howard and Chen Lun disappeared at the same time.

[Four Seasons Bookmark - Surprise] is constructed in the space.

Howard stood on the vast hills, looking around at the borderless grassland, and then at the empty vine platform in front of him, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Here...... It's not a 'wonderland'. ”

She took a few steps forward to the vine platform.

The field of vision is bright.

Look up.

At the end of the horizon in front of us, a towering tree stood, with lush branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

A huge silver-white snake clinged to the big tree, each scale on her body was the size of a house, and the surface was covered with dense hundreds of millions of eyes, the eyes turned, and the child's hole reflected countless pictures in the world.

Around the silver-white giant snake, a circle of light was reflected, and profound and mysterious symbols continued to float in the circle, thousands of them, wriggling and twisting as if they were alive.

The head of the snake blocked all light, and with the light on its back, it looked down on Howard like a god.

Howard's expression was stunned.

She stared directly at the silver-white serpent, her eyes slowly bleeding blood, but she didn't care.

"Accident...... What an accident...... Jack's surprise scared me, but I was thrilled...... Because accidents are an indispensable and important part of the drama, if even I, the writer, could not have expected it, then this play will be even more exciting. ”

Howard muttered, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and bowed respectfully towards the distant serpent.

"A humble tragic writer, salute the noble serpent of fate, the Oscar crown."

Half a day.

The serpent came with a thought, and the entire space trembled slightly:

"Children's pranks, while funny, don't make much sense."

Howard smiled as he saluted his chest.

"Every adult has been a child, but unfortunately, very few adults remember this."

The silver-white serpent stopped talking.

She just stared at Howard in silence.

Howard's smile froze, and beads of sweat began to bead uncontrollably on her forehead, revealing her muscles as if she was suffering terrible pain.

"You, the Angel of Destiny, have been watching me and watching everything happen...... I can feel a force invisibly pushing me, I am the key node, and I am also an important person in the new era. ”

She raised her head with difficulty, the skin on her forehead had begun to agitate, the muscles of her face were twisting, and her voice was dry:

"Fate guides me...... I am the protagonist of the times. ”

Howard's forehead cracked, revealing a crying mask as black as iron, and his eyes were also bleeding with tears.

"I'm sorry for the offense, but even you can't change that...... Jack, is my favorite character, always will be. ”

Peng's snort.

Howard's body exploded like fireworks, turning into a puddle of blood.

The weeping mask fell to the ground with a thud.

"Everyone walks on the same path, but they all mistakenly think that they are shocking."

The comment of the Serpent of Destiny echoed in the space.

Chen Lun opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in the dark.

Get up, remove the silver kettle from your head, and look around.

'What is this ......?' ’

He recalls what had happened before.

The man who had been hiding behind the scenes and controlling his fate actually appeared and took out "Philip in Wonderland" from him in person.

Then he was teleported to this place.

'That guy...... What exactly do you want to do?! ’

Chen Lun felt a cloud of anger suppressed in his chest.

He can accept that after trying his best, he will be killed by a strong man in a high position, because that is just his own inferior skills. But it is really an aggrieved experience to be held by others like this, to be manipulated like a marionette.

Chen Lun stood up, clenched his fist, and slowly released it.

He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

'As long as you're alive, you'll have a chance...... There is no need for the god of the moon and the cat to lie to me, as long as I am promoted to the high rank, I have the ability to defy fate and jump out of this circle.

And I'm a traverser, and my advantage is the plot prophet, the player, and the panel...... The reason why Howard was able to manipulate my fate was because she was the highest-ranking person in my sequence, and as long as I was in a position of power, she could not do anything about me. ’

Chen Lun calmed down slightly.

He tells himself that anger is useless and that only by looking at himself from the most objective third-person perspective can he find his way out.

It was dark all around, except for a glimmer of light not far away.

Chen Lun sank down and walked forward.

He could sense that the place he was in was in a fairyland, because his consciousness could communicate with the statue of Maggie and the other wooden houses, but he didn't know why, he couldn't teleport.

'This place has never been to before...... And I feel like I'm stuck here, and I can't get out of Wonderland for a while. ’

Chen Lun's face was solemn.

As he walked forward, he saw the source of the light, which was a campfire with a pot of soup boiling on it, bubbling with the aroma of mushrooms and meat.

Next to the campfire is a wooden house, just like the other wooden houses in the fairyland.

Chen Lun was overjoyed.

If you can activate it, you might be able to go back. ’

He didn't rush to open the door, but waited a distance and quietly observed.

The bonfire outside was obviously a sign of man-made, and according to custom, there were strong polluting creatures near the wooden house, so Chen Lun remained quite vigilant.

Almost half an hour passed.

Chen Lun did not notice anything abnormal, and his spiritual intuition did not warn.

He thought about it, and for the sake of safety, he still used the cards to divination, and the foreshadowing given was not dangerous.

Chen Lun raised his hand and dropped a few playing cards near the wooden house, as a "magic seal" prop to replace and escape at any time, and then put on the [black cufflinks], sprayed a little [benzoin perfume], and cautiously came to the door of the wooden house.

He gently pushed open the door of the cabin.

The furnishings inside are completely different from the wooden houses in my impression.

Chen Lun was puzzled, briefly probed inside for a week, and was surprised to find that there were traces of people living here, and this trace was not far away.

Is it Philip ......? ’

He suddenly had such a thought, but remembered the reply of Maggie, the god of cats, that Philip had failed to challenge fate, so it was unlikely that it would be him.

'Who the hell could that be?' The authority of the fairyland is in my hands, and no one but me can enter the wooden house......

Chen Lun frowned.

As is customary, he rummaged through the tables in the cabin, where there were usually things left by Philip.

Unfortunately, he didn't find any valuable remnants this time.

That's when it happened.

A footstep sounded from outside the cabin.

Chen Lun's heart jumped.

The footsteps seemed to appear out of nowhere, and he didn't notice it.

Chen Lun turned around and saw a figure standing at the door.

"You're finally here, Jack."
