Chapter 483: Time Stands Still Again
The dark, deep cave is about the same size as the Seven Star Pavilion of the Char Empire back then, under the illumination of the fireball, it can be seen that there used to be a way out here, but it was sealed, and the air inside has not changed for thousands of years, if ordinary people entered here, I am afraid that they would have been poisoned directly, but the three people in front of them are indeed not afraid of these, and their own poison resistance is terrifying, especially Don Quixote has also opened a huge passage, the air has begun to circulate, and the smell of decay in the cave has begun to gradually dissipate。
In the center of the cave, there was an altar, there was a cross on the altar, the cross was nailed to a person, two hands, one on the left and one on the right, each had a long nail that still shimmered with metallic luster nailed to the ankle of the hand, the two feet were stacked together like the cross of Jesus, and then a longer metal nail penetrated two layers of bones and nailed to some kind of wooden cross behind her, of course, thousands of years have passed, and there is no very delicate protective barrier, in this dry and cold place, Erastro's body has long been turned into a dry corpse, only through the bones, and some external features, of course, and the clothes on the body can be seen that this is an elf.
There was silence in the cave, except for the breathing of the three people, and the sound of the blazing fireball above Don Quixote's head, Ulysses, who was standing in front of the cross, did not say a word, just stared at the altar in front of him a little blankly,
The previous self-confidence and excitement disappeared without a trace, and the whole person seemed to fall into a dead silence again, he had made all kinds of psychological preparations before he came, and he didn't even ask Don Quixote how Erastro died, he thought he could guess, because this was once the place where the two of them met for the first time, and two boring strong men met here, this is the real fate, so Ulysses's assumption is that he tricked Erastro here, and then killed her.
Unfortunately, he only guessed half of it, and when he saw what he saw, it became clear to him that things were completely beyond his imagination, that this altar, and this cross, was a kind of sacrifice that specifically deprived others of the root of their faith.
In ancient times, when the true god was not particularly powerful, there were many people like Ulysses and Erastro who could use the power of faith, but these people were not true gods, and they were not particularly powerful, so there was such a kind of people, such a cruel spell, by digging the roots of faith in other people's souls, they became the receptors of the power of faith, which also saved a lot of missionary time。
Excavating the roots of faith in the soul, even if there is no detailed description, just relying on this word alone can make people shudder, this process is extremely painful, and even a little pale to describe in words, in Ulysses's mind, all the criminal laws of the world of Faeron are completely incomparable to the pain caused by this secret art, and at this point, he knows why Erasdra used her talent to cast such a curse before he died, in addition to the pain of these real-time and the pain caused to him by the person who performed the criminal law, it was more of a chillIn fact, even Dead Erasdra is a little unbelievable that Ulysses will dig into the roots of his faith to strengthen himself.
Maybe it was ten minutes, maybe half an hour, maybe it was longer, during which Don Quixote, who was not very anxious, did not disturb Ulysses in a daze, it was obvious that his wife had been nailed to this dark place for thousands of years, but he didn't know that he was so in love with that woman that he didn't go crazy on the spot.
As for Sylvia, the current wife of Ulysses, after seeing the corpse of Erastro, the whole person was already sitting on the ground limply, and the impact of all this in front of her was also big enough, of course, this also made Don Quixote certain one thing, on top of this mysterious matter, this woman seems to be just a pawn.
Finally, the state of mind tempered by thousands of years of silence in the ruins still allowed Ulysses to come out of his self-blame and sadness, and he gently raised his hand to caress the dried corpse, cold, dry, and obviously he also felt that Erastro's soul did not leave her body, but stayed in the dried corpse.
Maybe it was because she felt the familiar fluctuations, obviously she was already a dry corpse, and Erasdra, who had been dead for a long time, actually raised her head slightly, accompanied by a creaking sound that made people worry that her head would fall at any time, her hollow and sunken eyes actually lit up with a pale green light, obviously, at this time, Erasdra had transformed into a necromancy, or a lich without a life box.
"I, Erasdra, curse the dragons of the past, present, and future, and all dragons who are not born of true love will die. ”
The familiar voice is exactly the same as the memory that Don Quixote received from Osiris, but this time the voice is spread in the air, it is still so plain, without a trace of emotion, or rather, at this time, Erastro is only left with a remnant soul, and he doesn't even have the ability to think, only the most basic resentment, and a few memories related to the past, such as emotional fragments, it is estimated that he has long since disappeared, and he can make a sound through the vibration of the air through spell fluctuations, which is already very remarkable。
"Don't you remember me anymore?" Ulysses, who didn't mind that Erastro was already a dried corpse, stroked Erastro's shriveled cheek again, "Or do you hate me so much that you don't want to talk to me anymore?" ”
"I, Erasdra, curse the dragons of the past, present, and future, and all dragons born of true love that are not born of true love will die"
However, everything is just as Don Quixote guessed, this god of law who once stood at the top of the world of Feren has long lost the unique ability of human beings because he has been excavated the roots of faith and has been locked up here for thousands of years, thinking, only this ability to repeat that sentence is left, seeing all this, a trace of helplessness flashed in Ulysses's eyes, although he is powerful, although he was once a strong man who can accept the power of faith, but he is not a true god after all, and now Erastro has lost the ability to communicate, in short, Don Quixote can not use the power of the true god to target Erastro, but for this woman who is already dead, he can completely pass the rules of the world of Faeron, and the soul belongs to the god of death, and bring it back to the underworld, and he will not have any way to stop it.
Moreover, although Ulysses is not a soul mage, he is not proficient in soul spells, but he has lived for so long, he knows very well that now Erastro's soul has been broken to a certain point, and he does not dare to pat his chest and say that if there is a slight chance, it will be a long, long time later, he has nothing to exchange with Don Quixote for this eternal time.
The last thing is to remove this curse, which is also a great thing for the dragon clan, so that the withering dragon clan can be revived, so that those dragons who have entered old age do not need to go through the choice to take the initiative to die, as the most glorious leader of the dragon clan, he has no reason to stop Don Quixote from doing everything!
But he couldn't do it, looking at the deceased wife in front of him, in addition to the regret for the past, he was more suspicious and confused, he had always been a little puzzled, why he and she became so impulsive and distrustful back then, now there are too many secrets in it, thinking of this, Ulysses turned to look at Don Quixote, with a hint of supplication in his eyes.
For Don Quixote, if there is no need, he doesn't want to have entanglements with this dragon powerhouse, or that sentence, he will always be a person who salutes first and then soldiers, but this time the matter is not up to Don Quixote, in order to be able to get Shirley out of danger, he can use any method, if Ulysses does not stop himself, with the current state of Erastro, Don Quixote can solve this remnant soul in minutes, if Ulysses stops himself, then Don Quixote can use the excuse that Ulysses thought of, and the remnant soul belongs to deathIt is also reasonable to detain this remnant soul as an agent of death, no matter what, he will never let go of this woman named Erastro, so even if he sees Ulysses's look, Don Quixote is already planning to reject this dragon.
However, just as he was about to speak, again, time stood still in the world, and again, because he had experienced such a thing once, in the British Empire.
Whether it was Ulysses who wanted to open his mouth to speak, or Sylvia who was still sitting on the ground without saying a word, they all stood still, and even the fire of the fireball above Don Quixote's head had stopped burning, except for himself, the time in this world had stopped, "Master?" Don Quixote asked the void a little tentatively, obviously, in his cognition, the only person who can do such a thing seems to be Fira, the goddess of time.
"Click!" Just when Don Quixote wanted to shout again, this still world was like glass and was beaten into pieces by some force, and behind this fragment, there was an endless blue sky, green grass, a breeze with the fragrance of earth, and a towering tree that seemed not far away, but gave people a kind of big tree that could never be approached, Don Quixote guessed wrong, in this world, it is easy to stand still in time, in addition to his master, there is another existence, that is, the vision will of the world of Ferron, the world tree! It's just that at this time, Don Quixote didn't know that the big tree in front of him was the World Tree, after all, he didn't have the opportunity to see such a powerful existence.
"This is the World Tree, and this is just a projection of it," Osiris was the first to come to Don Quixote, but judging by her expression, it seemed that she had known all this beforehand.
"Seen the great goddess Osiris. ”
"Less," Osiris glanced at Don Quixote, "there is no need to pretend in front of it, it controls everything, it knows everything, but it can't do what it wants with what it knows." ”
"Oh," Don Quixote nodded slightly, even if time stopped, he took out a wide chair from the space ring without being restrained, let Osiris sit in front of him, and gently pinched her back, "I don't know what happened to the great World Tree calling me?"
A gust of wind blew, and the World Tree did nothing but make a burst of salsa sounds, it had already told everything to Osiris, and asked her to be its spokesperson, and she appeared just to show an attitude to Osiris, this matter is very important, for a long time, after enjoying Don Quixote's massage for a while, Osiris gently tugged Don Quixote's two hands and put them on top of her bulging lower abdomen, obviously wanting Don Quixote to feel the child in her belly," You're in trouble this time!" )
