Chapter 218: As Mr. Fate Said
In the dark night when the frequency of lightning was relatively low, the exploration team of Silver City once again arrived at the perimeter of the half-abandoned temple.
Daerik remembers everything that had happened during his previous five visits to the temple, and remembered the hints given by Mr. "Fate".
"Ulorius, the Angel of Destiny, is the reason why we are stuck in the space of the cycle, and now, I must try to find all the information about the Angel of Destiny, whether it is the mural or the terrifying little boy."
Chief Elder Colin pulled out a dark blue metal vial from the dark compartment of his belt around his waist and smeared the colorless viscous liquid inside onto his straight sword.
Then, he stabbed his sword upward.
The air was bright, and the silver snake-like light swam above, spreading rapidly to the surroundings.
The silver snake burrowed into the void and ran somewhere.
Colin half-closed his eyes, not knowing what he was feeling, and after a full five seconds, he raised his finger and said:
"From now on, there can be no negligence and raise the vigilance to the highest level."
Darik sank his mind and followed the team into the temple without slackening, and he took the initiative to win the task of exploring the murals.
Carrying a skin lantern and holding a "hurricane axe", he and one of his teammates operate in a squad.
After passing through mottled and collapsed walls, he finally reached his destination.
Darik looked at the wall, trying to find a motif related to the "Angel of Destiny".
On the mottled walls, at the top of which is a blurry pitch-black cross, on which hangs a shadow that is difficult to see.
Against this background, there is a barren and dead plain.
In the middle of the plain, there was a long procession, and their target was the mountain in the distance, and the cross and the upside-down man at the top of the mountain.
Some of the members of the team were still kneeling on the ground praying, while others had stood up and walked forward against the strong wind.
The faces of the team members are simply outlined, and only the leader at the front is quite clear.
It was a tall, thin man with silver hair that reached a vest.
The man's facial features were soft, his head was lowered, his eyes were closed, and there were layers of light wings behind his back.
Angel! Could this leader be the "Angel of Destiny"?
Delic excitedly observed the surroundings of the "leader", and he noticed a meandering, shimmering river at the feet of the man who appeared to be an angel.
The river keeps bending, looping back, injecting itself into its own head.
Circulate! That's right, this pattern depicts the "Angel of Destiny"! It is the key node that Mr. "Destiny" said.
Darek raised the "Hurricane Axe" and slashed at the river on the mural, and the flash of lightning was drawn and attached to the "Hurricane Axe".
Bang!
Darek cleaved the walls and splintered with stone chips, disconnecting the river from end to end.
The next moment, Colin rushed over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
"I saw a little boy flashing across the wall." Darek hurriedly said.
After trying just now, he has determined that the node of the cycle is not the "Angel of Destiny" on the mural, but Mr. "Fate" will not be wrong with the hint, there must be other items related to the "Angel of Destiny" here.
"It's the first time you're going to be nervous about this kind ......of mission, so you'll follow me next," Colin reminded in an unmistakable tone.
Having lost the chance to try it alone, Derrick followed Elder Colin and did a similar quest as he had done in previous attempts, eventually reaching the altar-lined Final Hall for the sixth time, where he found the yellow-haired boy huddled in the shadows.
The little yellow-haired boy shouted "Help me...... Help me ......" voice.
"Will the node left by the Angel of 'Destiny' be in this little boy?" Darek couldn't help but think.
Before Elder Colin could speak, he suddenly asked:
"How can I save you?"
The little boy showed an excited expression:
"Help me, send me home!"
"Where is your home?"
Derick listened excitedly as the little boy told the story, as the Tarot congregation had said, that Jack had come from another world.
"As Mr. 'Destiny' once said, the Silver City and their world have a focal point, and that focus is ......"
Thinking of this, Derrick's voice couldn't help but tremble, and he asked:
"How did you get here?"
The little boy Jack showed a reminiscing expression:
"My father and I took a boat first, then joined his companions, and after a great storm, the rest landed on land and followed the direction of the Lord's gaze until we came here."
Ocean! As Mr. "Destiny" said, their intersection with another world is the Sunia Sea! That's right, what Mr. "Fate" said is confirmed here!
The excitement in Darek's heart has overcome fatigue and fear, and if enough price is paid, Mr. "Fate" will lead them to a new world and save the Silver City.
At this moment, he keenly noticed that the clothes between the chest and abdomen of the little boy Jack were stained dark red, and there seemed to be liquid slowly oozing out.
"Are you hurt?" Derick asked cautiously.
Jack hung his head and replied in a wandering tone:
"Something unsightly......"
As he spoke, the little boy pulled back his clothes, revealing his bare chest and abdomen.
On it, there are two eyes, a nose and a mouth!
In just a second or two, Derick discovered where the face on Jack's chest had been seen:
This human face resembles the angel in the mural, the silver-haired angel who steps on the circulating river, that is, the "Angel of Destiny" Ulorius!
The node of the loop is here!
Instead of acting rashly, Darek lowered his voice and said to Colin the "Demon Hunter":
"Your Excellency, the face on his chest resembles the angel in the mural. It is an angel with silver hair and a river at his feet. ”
Colin frowned, he was surprised by Derrick's acumen, and said coldly:
"The angel is the Tail Eater and one of the eight kings of the angels on whom the Lord sits, and to see Him here may well mean that we have stepped into a river that we cannot leave, and that is connected from end to end.
Luckily, this should only be some of the power left by the Angel of Destiny, and He is not hiding here. ”
The next moment, Colin plunged his long sword into the ground, pulled out another straight sword with his backhand, and smeared it with golden sun-like grease.
Suddenly, Colin the Demon Hunter moved, and he drew his sword from the ground, leaving a vague figure in place.
Glowing golden and silvery, it lit up the entire underground hall, and the darkness enveloped the altar again with the terrible screams of the human face on the chest of the little boy Jack.
As the face on the boy's chest completely decayed, Derick felt only an invisible, wall-like barrier around him, which shattered.
He breathed a sigh of relief, at this moment, they had left the space of the cycle.
