5. Rose Gaze Chapter 211 The Council of Four
"Acquaintance?" The voice in the mist laughed, "Hahaha, how can our relationship be just acquaintance? When Madame Feather Ling was dying, she entrusted us with an important matter. ”
"My mother, what's important?" Carl hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Yun Mi sighed a few times, "She was framed by a slut, and before she died, she used the 'Yuan Demon Soul Sealing Secret Technique', and sent a letter overnight for us to come and save her. It's a pity that the Ice Wolf King was deceived by traitors, and we paid a terrible price to retrieve her soul fragments. ”
Extracting the souls of others?
It was ridiculous, but Carl didn't think it was ridiculous.
He had known since he was a child that his mother was secretly practicing demonic forbidden spells, and he had also seen his mother use the life of a slave to keep himself young. Only Mr. Daurson knew about this matter besides him, and even his own brother Moretto only knew a rough idea.
These people knew that their mother was proficient in forbidden spells, and they must be Yu Ling's secret friends before his death. Listening to their tones, it seemed that they knew much more about the forbidden spell than the feather spirit, and Carl even guessed that his mother's forbidden spell originated from here.
The voice in the mist sighed a few more times, "It's a pity that we didn't refine the remnants, otherwise we would have been able to resurrect her." ”
Resurrection!?
Karl's face suddenly changed drastically: "Master, just now you said that you can resurrect my mother, is this true?" ”
The voice said softly: "If you resurrect others, it may not be, but resurrecting Lady Feather Spirit is as easy as a snap." ”
Carl's heart pounded, "Really, can I really resurrect my mother?" ”
The voice in the mist was a little displeased: "Are you doubting our power?" Do you think that the forbidden spell of the Feather Spirit was inspired by her dreams? ”
They are indeed the worldly masters who taught their mother's forbidden spells!
Karl hurriedly said respectfully: "I was too excited just now and offended the masters, please forgive me!" ”
The voice in the clouds softened a little: "The feather spirit was tortured by the Ice Purgatory, but the body was preserved because of this; Before she died, she used the 'Yuan Demon Soul Sealing Secret Technique', so she saved her soul: it should be that the god Kerbal felt that she should not die, so she could get such a chance. ”
Karl fell to his knees without hesitation: "Please, masters, resurrect my mother!" ”
The voice sneered: "If all the big things in the world can be done by kneeling, it will be too easy." ”
Karl exclaimed, "Masters, as long as I can resurrect my mother, I am willing to do anything. Show me the way! ”
Sou!
A bamboo tube broke through the air in the mist, and Carl hurriedly reached out to catch it. When I opened the bamboo tube, it seemed to contain a map.
"In order to help the Feather Spirit seal the soul, we have suffered heavy casualties." The voice said faintly, "Resurrecting her requires a fragment of the 'Guillotine Rock', and we have no way of obtaining it, so we can only rely on yourself." ”
Carl immediately vowed to do it.
"Good." The voice commanded, "Mixiu, find a weapon worthy of him, and take him back." ”
Karl thanked the shadow in the mist again and again before leaving with Michaeu.
When they were far away, there was another voice in the clouds.
A slender voice came: "Is he the best candidate?" ”
The cold voice responded: "If not, replace the next one." I've been waiting for ten years, do you still care about time? ”
Another arrogant voice said, "We should be concerned about the probability of success." ”
An intellectual voice came from the side and said gently, "I have arranged 'Mist' and 'Rabbit', what do you have to worry about?" ”
.
Mixiu led Carl through cave after cave, and Karl was dizzy at the passage that he was able to weave back and forth. As they progressed deeper and deeper into the labyrinthine cavern, they finally stopped at a boulder carved with runes.
"This must be another secret door." Carl thought to himself.
Sure enough, Michau knocked in front of the stone a few times: up and down, left and right, and the boulder opened, and inside was a wonderful stone chamber.
The stone chamber was carved out of diorite, and from top to bottom it was covered in a layer of dark purple shadows that seemed to be in the middle of each other, like an invisible beast.
In the center of the stone chamber there was a brilliant streamer, and the circle of light shone on the boulder, and a brilliant sword was inserted. Karl could tell at a glance that it was a divine sword, and the hilt of the sword was decorated with a blue soulstone the size of a pigeon's egg, shining with incomparable brilliance.
"This 'eye of the storm' will help you succeed." Mi Xiu waved his sleeve, and a wave of soul energy swept towards the Excalibur. The sword seemed to have spirituality, and it flew up in the air with a dragon groan, flipped around a few times, and fell into Carl's hand.
Carl caught the sword, swung it a few times, and sighed: "Sure enough, it's an artifact!" ”
The sword is very light and very tough. The blade of the sword is engraved with intricate soul spells, which release powerful energy under the action of the soul stone. Under Carl's control, Excalibur unleashed two sharp wind blades, silently shattering a boulder in front of him.
Having received such a magic weapon, Karl excitedly thanked Michaeu.
Mi Xiu said disapprerovingly: "It's just a small gift for meeting, it's not worth mentioning." When you can meet the true face of the 'Council of Four', you will understand the true strength of the 'Rose Gaze'. ”
With that, he led Carl up another staircase.
The steps grew higher and higher, and when they reached the end, Carl was surprised to find himself standing at the top of the mountain.
Mixiu whistled, only to hear a sharp howl, and a pitch-black winged beast sprang out from behind them.
"Don't panic." Michau pressed Karl's hand as he prepared to draw his sword, "This 'winged shadow' is just our vehicle. ”
Vehicle...... Is it?
Carl couldn't help but feel a little trembling in his heart.
This monster has heavy black fur, a huge size, a pair of sharp eagle claws and a fierce gaze, no matter how you look at it, it is not an easy animal to mess with. But it has a pair of wide wings, maybe it can rely on this to fly?
In Carl's cognition, there is no kind of magical beast in the world that can fly, where did this magical beast come from?
Michau motioned for him to ride with him on the beast's back. With a roar, the beast took a few steps and spread its wings and glided toward the base of the mountain.
The speed of the monster was extremely fast, and after a while, Kung Fu Carl saw the bottomless cliff. Before he could experience the feeling of flying in the wind, he felt that his body had been jolted a few times, and the demonic beast had landed.
"Gather your army and complete the mission given to you by the Council of Four." Mi Xiu left this sentence and rode away on the beast again. The pitch-black shadow disappeared into the forest in an instant like a black lightning bolt.
If it weren't for the Excalibur in his hand, Carl might have thought it was all a dream. "Incredible." He muttered, "Rose gaze, it's incredible. ”
.
The shadows of the swords and swords on the battlefield had dissipated, and the mournful screams had been replaced by wounded moans and sighs. The air was still filled with the smell of gunsmoke, and fragments of shields and broken arrows were scattered on the ground.
Under the bloodstained battle flag, Alan and Amber are gathering the remnants.
"Have you seen Prince Karl?" Alan asked the soldiers one by one, but they all shook their heads negatively.
Amber looked around anxiously, "I remember he and the Guards were heading in the direction of the drawbridge. ”
Alan kicked the corpse on the ground, startling a swarm of flies: "If he's with the guards, he's probably in trouble." ”
There were several corpses piled up around that had been eaten by demon wolves, and judging by their costumes, they were the guards escorting Carl.
"He's not going to have an accident, is he?" Amber asked uneasily.
"No, it won't." Alan stopped, and suddenly showed a strange expression on his face, "With a beautiful girl like you waiting for him, how could something happen?" ”
Amber snorted, "His Royal Highness the Prince is gone, and you still have the heart to joke?" ”
Alan asked, "It seems that you are in a hurry, is it because of the prince, or because of Carl?" ”
Amber glared at him, "If you say such nonsense again, I'll blow your head off." ”
"Such a hot beauty, it's quite in line with Carl's liking......" Alan was just halfway through his words when he saw lightning energy already rising in Amber's hand, "Oh, this grumpy lady, can you look back?" ”
Amber glanced behind him suspiciously, and saw the tall, burly Karl standing behind him.
"Did you miss me?" He still had an eerie smile on his face.
Karl ...... Your Highness? Amber didn't come to his senses for a moment, "You...... Always behind? ”
Karl took the opportunity to wrap his arms around Amber's shoulder, "You're all right, it's really good." As he spoke, he gave Allen a meaningful thumbs up.
Alan sighed, "Where are you hiding, we have almost searched this place twice, and we haven't found your whereabouts." ”
"That's a long story." Carl pulled out the Excalibur, "I seem to have encountered a 'God's Touch'. ”
In the classic stories of this world, there are usually scenes where the main corner is in a desperate situation, and suddenly encounters the guidance of the gods, gives artifacts or mana, and then counterattacks to win. We usually call them protagonist auras, and they are called "God's Touch".
To put it more bluntly, it's open.
Carl gives a rough account of what happened in the cave of Rose Gaze, and mentions that they can resurrect Queen Feather Spirit and give him the Excalibur.
"It's almost like a 'child of destiny.'" Alan looked at the Excalibur enviously, "Maybe this is your fate, you are destined to be the master of this snowfield." ”
Carl said lightly: "I don't have much interest in power, I just hope they can really resurrect my mother." ”
"Resurrection...... I can't imagine it. Eren frowned, "I've never heard of a soul-like technique that resurrects the dead. ”
Amber pondered for a moment, "The kind of demonic beast mentioned by His Highness does not belong to this world, if they can create new demonic beasts, maybe they can also control life?" ”
Carl nodded, "Yes, I want to go to the 'Guillotine Rock' to try it, even if there is a chance, I can't give up." ”
Both Alan and Amber agreed, and they regrouped their forces and immediately marched to Guillotine Rock.
