Chapter 50: A Strange Event
The scene in front of him gradually became cloudy, and Ai Suyan's eyes were like the closed sky. Consciousness is bound by invisible shackles, and it is only a matter of time before it falls into complete depression.
But... My mission is not over yet... Ai Suyan silently muttered in his heart: If this is the place where I am buried, then everything that follows may exist to please my enemies...
Other words... The glory of being a prince will make me... Have to keep forging ahead?
A bitter smile tugged at the corners of his mouth.
But now that I'm losing power, it's far beyond ordinary battles. The golden goblet never seems to be satisfied with its existing capacity, it simply voraciously drinks everything that humanity has given until the moment when the blood is drained.
Then he pulled his arm back: the pain was as sharp as a beast tearing at his flesh.
"I can't do it anymore, Master, you must take care. He muttered a few times, and then his knees went limp, and he collapsed limply on the cold, gorgeous ground.
Faintly, the anxious shout of the Sword Saint Morton was heard in his ears, but there was an invisible wall that obscured the transmission of his consciousness in all directions.
I don't know how long it took, when his eyes opened again, he found that he was already surrounded by everyone, and for a moment it was as if he had come to a paradise full of flowers.
There was a crowd of people around him, and Ai Suyan's eyes scanned the surroundings in a daze, as if he was looking for the figure of an important person.
"The Swordmaster Morton is resting next door, he left your side an hour ago, but you've been asleep for about a day. Guagua House. A strange-looking and kind-looking elder in front of him said, "I've heard it all, but in fact, the things that cause you to faint are not only the weakness and pain of excessive blood loss, but also related to a kind of intense magical radiation that exceeds ordinary crystals several times. ”
He blinked his eyes slyly, and then picked up Ai Suyan's bandaged right arm: "We frogman craftsmen have built a special instrument to measure the radiation intensity of the crystal basin, and I have to say that although the years are advancing, the magic radiation we have here shows no signs of exhaustion. ”
"But, no matter what, the magic radiation seeped directly into the bloodstream, and this is the first time this has happened to you! He sighed, then continued with a blank face.
Ai Suyan was startled, he struggled to stand up, and asked with a slightly panicked expression, "So, am I going to die?"
Warren shook his head: "You underestimate the wisdom of our frogmen. Guagua House. He pulled out an Erlenmeyer flask filled with blue liquid from his waist: "As long as you keep taking this bottle of potion for a month, you can be completely cured." ”
The prince breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still full of doubts: "I think it should be the Sword Saint Morton who brought me back here..."
"Hmm. And at that time, almost the entire frogman clan witnessed this strange event. Melon House. Warren nodded, his gaze unhurried.
"Do you know? When countless shocking cracks began to spread on the crystal tower, all the frogman settlements in this land fell into a kind of panic? ”
Seeing that his expression suddenly became solemn, Ai Suyan began to listen carefully.
"This is the sacred faith that we have vowed to follow forever. As long as the crystal light still shines on our homeland, the frogmen will prosper for generations to come. He sighed, "But, not long after you and Morton disappeared, all the frogmen of the settlement heard a strange voice... A sound similar to the magic crystal that began to crack and collapse from its central position... Melon House. ”
The feeling was unprecedented, as terrifying as a catastrophe, and some frogman warriors and craftsmen went to the source of the sound: the crystal tower, to check it out, only to find that countless tiny cracks had cracked on the surface of the crystal, which stretched from the bottom to the distant sky, and even dimmed the luster of the crystal for a while. Melon House..."
"They found me, the wise man, and began to inquire about the answers to all this. However, just when I was at a loss, you and the Sword Saint Morton suddenly appeared in front of all the frogmen through a strange green magic door. By the way, your master was still holding a sleeping baby in his hands, dressed in a golden ribbon, but not from what was known to the world of Denario. Melon House..."
"The frogs are excitedly surrounding your master, wanting to know where he has been during this time and how he has been connected to the rupture of the Crystal Tower. ”
Morton, however, kept silent, saying he wanted to wait until you woke up to make everything public. The frogmen eventually dispersed, and no one finally learned the mystery of the Crystal Tower, because all of this was contrary to common sense. Melon House. ”
"Then with my help, Morton placed the baby in an empty room in the settlement, and then during the time I was guarding your side, I made small talk to him as a friend, and he mentioned the inside of the Crystal Tower. While you are still in the Magic Lecture Hall, he is called by an ancient voice from inside the Tower, which says that the Tower is calling him, and that humanity will take on the role of "savior" on its own... Melon House. ”
Essusan tilted her head and thought: This ancient voice looks very similar to the female voice guiding us in the inner space..."
Then, as far as he could tell, a powerful force distorted the space around him in an instant, and he found himself unmistakably inside the tower. Melon House. Warren sighed and said, "Not long after, you also appeared. At that time, he was really surprised. Most importantly, he talked about the four frogman corpses left inside the tower, which reminded me of a long time ago. Guagua House. ”
Ai Suyan suddenly propped up his body: "Four corpses, what else did he say?"
Warren squinted his eyes and looked at Essuyan himself: "It seems that you also know? This is the case, at the beginning of the establishment of the frogman settlement, there was a great prophecy that every 10,000 years, there would be two brave men who would open the 'secret realm of the tower', and the prophecy also mentioned that when the secrets inside the tower were revealed, the world where the catastrophe returned would be illuminated again. Melon House. ”
"Thirty thousand years have passed. Warren said worriedly, "At least we already know the truth about where the bones of the four predecessors are buried..."
Ai Suyan was silent, and then an old and deep voice suddenly came from outside the house, and the prince reacted instantly: "It's Morton!"
Warren opened the crystal door, and Morton's face looked extraordinarily radiant under the sheen.
"Oh, it's Su Yan... Are you awake?" he smiled and said, "All this time, I didn't have time to tell you what happened in the tower space at that time, it is worth affirming that your blood was not shed in vain, after the wall of light was broken, I came to the sleeping baby's side, trying to find the exit there, and at this moment, something unusual happened." ”
Ai Suyan listened carefully, and her azure gaze was particularly clear.
"You were unconscious, and then the high-pitched female voice reappeared, saying that the portal to the outside world would only open when the 'Savior' intended to take the Holy Child to the human world. His eyes suddenly lit up.
"I realized that the baby in front of me was the legendary 'Holy Child', and after that, the female voice never sounded again. ”
"However, at the moment of approaching the Holy Child. Again, I noticed something unusual. There was a hint of strangeness in his tone.
Ai Suyan looked up.
"This child, who looks like a human, clean and lovely, is actually shrouded in a faint, protective shield-like golden gas, which makes it impossible for foreign objects to enter the space around him, and can also be said to complement the golden bed under him. Morton continued.
"However, when I stretched out my hand, it penetrated the protection of the golden gas without much effort, and even I couldn't help but be stunned at that time. At this time, even Morton himself shook his head lightly after saying this.
"Then when I was about to pick him up and join you, a white light flashed on the baby's chest, and for a moment my vision became extremely blurred, as if I was in the center of the bright light field. ”
"After a while the light dissipated, and then I noticed that on the child's chest suddenly appeared a compass-shaped thing made of gold, made of gold and engraved with an unrecognizable, yet incomparably beautiful pattern. ”
He sighed and said: "It's just that I didn't have time to think about it at that time, the moment I picked up the body of the Holy Child, a green magic door suddenly appeared in front of me, I returned to you, carried you on my shoulder, and then carried the Holy Child, and left that strange place together." ”
Warren beside him yawned lightly, looking like he wanted to say something.
