Volume IX: Chapter 1: The Flower of Talon
γTalonγ
Ishal gently picked up the fallen rampart, and even though he was cautious, he still made a slight sound, which seemed unusually loud in the quiet corridor. The bandage on her arm was bright red, and although the pain had dissipated, blood would inevitably seep out, and next to her was the big man Tevar, who gently put down the broken boulder and whispered, "Ishaal, you should rest, let me come alone!" The male ice troll's massive body picked up the stone with ease, but it was a bit difficult to put it down gently without making a loud noise, and he opened it up and took it away, carefully looking like a clumsy grizzly bear, full of comical dances.
The corners of Ishar's mouth rose a little when he looked at him, he wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, he could only shake his head helplessly, if he was allowed to move the stone blocking the corridor without scruples, Tervar estimated that he would pick up the stones like a dog seeing a bone, and the dog would dig a way to open it, and he was still happy, but Talon's enemies still didn't want to go far, and the owner of the black sword seemed to be wandering around Talon slowly, and he didn't dare to make any sound in the underground corridor, The trait clothes that concealed the aura had been torn apart and given to Tervar, and now he could quickly leave Talon as long as he quickly found the magical energy to repair Asar's scepter.
Before the black-robed man finds out!
Ishal and Tervar moved the rocks blocking the underground corridor little by little, and finally some light sources shone through the cracks in the rocks, and the two of them were excited, and at the same time lowered their voices and shouted: "Great!" Eyes facing each other, eyes flashing with joy, Ishal looked at Tvar with joy from the bottom of his heart, Tyvar was suddenly a little embarrassed, and coughed very carefully, Ishal also reacted, turned his face away, and continued to move the stones, Tval also followed, but this time no matter how you look at it, it seems that you can only see Ishal's thin back, and you can't see Ishal's face, and in the speechlessness, Tyvar's smile is still bright.
Little by little, the light in the corridor filled, until a small exit appeared, and the light began to illuminate the interior of the corridor. The white walls, the vermilion ceiling, the golden gilt lines are embellished, and the murals of auspicious clouds and cranes make the small corridor full of golden and brilliant texture, and the two were suddenly lost by Talon, and after a while, Ishal came to his senses, picked up the Asal scepter wrapped in cloth, pushed the stunned Tervar, and jumped over the hole that had been dug.
"There is light!" Ishal looked at everything around him in surprise, the blue light of the stars accompanied him left and right, and the glimmer of light was also caught by her eyes, and Te Val next to him touched the blue light with his hand, but he didn't think about it, those lights stayed quietly in his hand as if he had an entity, the light did not pass through his palm, he looked at Ishal in surprise, the two looked at each other, their eyes staring at the blue light.
The points of light of the entities in the vermilion corridor rose and fell, illuminating the colorful scrolls on the ancient walls that were slowly fading away with darkness.
Ishal groped her way forward, and the rabbit butler named Dada told her that the Fountain of Mana was in the depths of the corridor. The dragon-shaped spring meandered through the sky, not originally connected to the interior of the entire city, nor to the fountain of magic.
"Strange ......" Ishal seemed to notice something different, she looked at the ancient words on the wall, and felt so familiar, Tervar answered next to her, and she said in surprise: These words are so familiar......
"What?" Tevar leaned over to her and stared carefully at the words next to her, those bright murals, after thousands of years of vicissitudes, moisture and moisture made them slightly blurred or even dim, blue points of light floated and calm, like a guide to this history, bit by bit to inform the people who came here, a piece of history has been recorded here, and that's all.
"It's familiar, these words ......," Terval's voice grew a little louder, and he realized that it should be quiet, and coughed lightly unnaturally.
Ishal looked at him, frowning slightly, and Tervar was a little aggrieved and covered his mouth with his hand.
Well, this big guy is still a bit clumsy at this time.
"Hmm...... It sounds familiar, too...... Still, I felt someone approaching us...... We're going to get out of here and find the Magic Spring. Ishal ran and looked at the holes behind them that had been smashed down by the broken walls, and now there was only one hole left, so black that it seemed to bite them both of them.
"I feel like I've seen this kind of mural in my dad's room! Wrong! Not a mural! Tyvar followed Ishal closely, and he also looked back, but all he could see was a starry blue light shining at the entrance of the dark cave: "That's a long, long picture!" I've seen it before! β
"Scroll?" Ishal looked at the silly Tval who never lied to himself.
Tervar's dad has a picture scroll that resembles the mural on the wall of Talon?
"That's right! I've seen this strange text before, on my dad's drawing! β
Tevar was a little excited, he had never thought that he could help Ishal here, if this could help Ishal, he was excited, and a little cautious to find out what Ishal meant.
Ishal frowned, running, looking at the endless scrolls in the corridor, she felt that this was not at all incredible, the section of the road here and the section of the road in the cave just now seemed to be two completely different worlds, and when the Xingyun Feihe just arrived here, it completely turned into words that she couldn't understand at all.
This is Talon, so it's understandable that it's understandable, and the most important thing now seems to be not to appreciate everything here, but to find the magic spring.
The black-robed man drove the huge beasts and monsters to Talon, Talon was wantonly destroyed, she was more and more unclear about her current situation, her purpose was to repair the magic spring of the Scepter of Thal, she didn't feel so intuitively about her own danger, but now, as soon as she Tervar said this, she had a hunch that she was now involved in an unknown dispute, she knew that she didn't need to be involved, she just needed to get to Talon to achieve her goal.
That's the repair, Sal's Scepter.
Their ice-hearted trolls don't have a grudge against each other on weekdays, so where are there so many living creatures in this icy and snowy world? It's hard to get a grudge.
So, for now, her clear mind told her that she would slip away when she was done, and maybe she wouldn't be chased by anyone.
"Urgent! Fountain of Magic! Ishal calmed down, looking at this winding and endless corridor, in fact, her heart was also a little weak, the wounds on her body were very unclear, but at least she had been bandaged, so she couldn't care about it so much.
A rumbling, loud vibration sounded above the corridor, and the crumbs of ash and the occasional passing beast and monster all reminded the two of them that their environment was extremely dangerous.
This time, it was even more terrible to freeze to death.
"Fountain of Magic!" Tyvar repeated Ishal's words, he now seemed to feel that he was fighting side by side with Ishal, the Ice Flower of the Far North, if it was a ferocious beast, then come! He won't be scared anymore!
Suddenly, the furious wind, from the direction they were going, seemed to overturn the two of them for a moment, the wind came so suddenly that both of them almost fell, the wall was not easy to grasp, they stood sideways, cleverly against the wall, the wind with biting ice crystals, sharp straight straight towards them.
This wind is so cold.
This wind is so sad.
Ishal seemed to be able to feel the sadness of the wind......
Wind...... Why is it sad?
With curiosity, she watched as the ice crystals flew by, and Tervar tried to protect her, but she couldn't resist the power of the wind.
"Are you alright...... Ishal ......" Tervar shouted with difficulty.
Now, it seemed as if all caution had been in vain, for the power of that energy was enough to make them tremble as the wind blew by.
"It's okay...... We may be in the back of the enemy now......" Ishal quickly analyzed the current situation, and she said, "You feel it, right? There may also be extremely powerful enemies in the Fountain of Mana, and there is also a powerful enemy looming behind us approaching, but I can't give up the Fountain of Mana, if the Scepter of Ahsar can't be repaired, our entire race will not survive in this far north, now, whether you are afraid or not, you must always pay attention to your own safety! β
Her eyes were so sincere, the two of them stood with their backs against the wall, so close to each other, the way Ishal looked now, made him ignore her beauty, which made Tervar unimaginably ashamed, at this time, Ishal was so calm.
The danger was self-evident, and Tervar could sense that the force behind him was so familiar, it was the terrifying black-robed man who drove the crocodile chapter away.
A trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay attention, and so will you, protect yourself!"
Ishal nodded, she certainly understood that all the dangers that might come now came from the bonds, that is, if one of them suffered, then the other could also die here because of the rescue.
"If so! Be sure to protect yourself! If I'm killed! You should also take any of these opportunities to escape! If the Assar Scepter can't be repaired! You just notify everyone! South! β
Ishal was even more determined, at this moment, she was like a person who had already explained what had happened, and there was no trace of fear in her eyes......
What kind of woman is this, Terval thought......
The corners of his mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but Ishal preempted him, and she spoke so quickly that she couldn't hear clearly.
But he did hear it.
"I'm the patriarch, I'm obligated to save you, if I let you escape, you have to escape! Don't hesitate! β
Tervar's words were choked back in his stomach, unable to speak again, he nodded, and could only nod. He wouldn't ask "what about you" again, because he knew what she was going to say anyway.
At this moment, as if it was providential, the ice wind disappeared for no reason, as if it had come for no reason.
Ishal didn't look back and used Assal's scepter to tap the ground, and with the help of his rapid jump, Tervar was stunned for a second, and quickly followed.
Her back, perhaps with bright red blood oozing white gauze, was so attractive...... It made his confidence even stronger.
Run forward! Maybe there's still life! Maybe those two forces are hostile forces, and they just need to dodge and get out unscathed?
With this mentality, Ishal started a game in his heart, and he must be right!
The sad ice wind didn't seem to be deliberately revealed to deceive her. It could only be the cry of pain from a truly sad person.
What kind of person could that be?
The corridor became narrower and colder, and huge steel clasps began to appear on the walls, huge chains continued to pass, and the ice crystals on them also directly exposed the strange cold that pierced into the bone marrow.
More and more, is this terrible place held, an extremely dangerous criminal?
Are the two godmen of Talon the caretakers of this prison?
It is already doomed that he must avoid getting involved in this dispute.
It's getting darker and darker, and it's getting more and more like a cage of ice crystals, the ice crystals wrap the chains, and are turned into bleak dark ice by the dark chains, and they haven't reached the end yet, but the sound of their breathing is getting louder and louder, and they can't help but expose their breath, they can't care so much!
The terrible shadows behind them were getting closer, and the cold ahead was getting stronger, which made them feel the cold sweat on their backs even when they were sweating profusely.
The ice and sweat reacted wonderfully, and the ice condensation quickly condensed all over their bodies, falling down piecemeal, like a crystal clear tiny orb.
"Hahaha, Ning Qing! Our first prey! It's about to appear! β
This was a frenzied roar, because it was too treacherous, and when it echoed in this narrow corridor, the two of them were shocked and frightened......
They couldn't stop looking back, although they didn't see the person who made this sound, but the blue light spots flickered along the way, constantly intertwined with the strange words in the dark corridor, making this escape more like a trap running into a cage.
No, it's not a trap, it's their only way to survive.
Fountain of Magic!
There is still a silver lining to repair the Asal Scepter!
"Hahahaha! Haha-haha! Another voice laughed extremely weirdly, there were two voices behind him, which made this crisis more and more unclear, Ishal's hand may be a little trembling, originally the bell on Assal's scepter was not so loud, and now, that kind of sound is really going to jingle in the corridor to urge Ishal, making her more concerned about what kind of monster is chasing after her.
But she prayed that it was best not to let her see it, because if she did, it would mean that she had no possibility of escaping.
Tervar looked back as well, and the chains cut a deadly ditch in front of them, which had collapsed, and there was no end to the darkness below, and the blue points of light were also swallowed up by the ditch, and there was no trace of it.
"What should I do?" Tesal looked at Ishal, Ishal stepped on the ground without hesitation, jumped over, the ditch was no longer an obstacle, this chasm was easily crossed by Ishal, of course Teswar could, he looked at this woman who was running frantically even if she was afraid, her back was so reassuring.
"Keep up!"
Ishal looked ahead without looking back, and there, there was a faint exit, glowing with a faint white light.
Tervar stepped forward and leaped up and down the ditch.
"Understood!" He echoed Ishal's voice.
But he felt that he was saying it to himself.
Sometimes, people can't be so hypocritical, and now it's a matter of running away......
If you can't escape, you're dead......
Who is hypocritical with you?
