876.Crusade against the Gloomy (3000)

"You come down for me!"

Before Lan En could figure out the situation, Leonard, who was watching the development of things in the outer circle, seemed to be anxious.

He 'clattered' and squeezed the heavy armor of the Winged Knights inside, then dragged Lan under the bed.

Lan didn't feel the danger at all, so he got out of bed with Leonard's power.

It was only then that he realized where he had just been lying.

Touching the back of his head, Lane didn't comment on it.

And the goddess seemed to be a little more alive than the previous appearance of indulging in her own sad world.

"Looks like you're okay, it's your sword."

A winged knight held Lan's [Turbidity Current: Annihilation] in both hands and handed it to him.

To be honest, even with the physique of a winged knight, the shape of this greatsword is an exaggeration.

Lan En nodded at him in thanks, and then looked at him seriously as if he sensed something.

"That voice you heard that night."

"That's me." The winged knight's wings flapped as if he were showing it to Lan. "You see, I said it. I will become an angel. โ€

"Then congratulations."

Lan En patted the shoulder armor of the winged knight on the other side, and the metal armor 'clattered'.

This winged knight is the maggot who came to talk to him on the night Lan joined the team.

Now he has got his wish and has become an angelic warrior with wings.

Moreover, among the three knights, he was holding a huge halberd that was powerful enough, and he was slapped by Eldridge just now and flew to the other side of the church without any injuries, and looked fierce.

After the two exchanged pleasantries, the Winged Knight suddenly turned his head in the direction of the goddess Rosaria, as if he was following instructions.

"The goddess has something to say to you."

His tone changed from casual to solemn, and he said to Ran.

"Please bow to the Goddess, and I will relay it."

"Really?"

Lan En glanced a little dazedly between the Winged Knight and Rosaria on the bed.

Then he put aside the [Turbidity Flow: Extinguish] in his hand, walked to the bed, knelt on one knee, and raised his right hand upward.

This was the pose he had seen other believers, or Leonard in his audience with the goddess.

The Winged Knight stood beside him, acting as an intermediary, transmitting messages between man and god.

But looking at Rosaria's subconsciously open lips under the black veil, you can know that she is still used to speaking to the person in front of her in person.

It's just that she has no tongue and can't speak now.

"You've been infected with the Gloom."

The words of the winged knight's urn immediately made Leonard, who was listening, so nervous that he grasped the handle of the crescent curved sword at his waist.

Seeing this, the flannel ball stood on the back of the unicorn and bared his teeth at him.

But Lan, the Winged Knight, and the Goddess herself were all very calm.

And so it was.

Lan thought to himself.

One of the reasons why he was a little confused since he woke up was that he was feeling his [Spiritual Vision].

It's completely functional, even better than before.

Peeking into Eldridge's nature really made it evolve.

With the current level of [Spiritual Vision] converted to the beginning, he estimated that when he looked at an ancient dragon he had never seen before in the New World, he would be able to see where the dragon jade on their body was.

It doesn't have to be like the original entanglement with the Exterminating Dragon: it took a lot of effort to go through many tricks with the Exterminating Dragon, and after making many openings in its body as observation samples, it was possible to see through the internal energy route.

But with the improvement of [Spiritual Vision], Lan En also felt that in the deeper part of his vision, there was something dark and deep entrenched.

That should be the knowledge that comes after you as your vision improves.

The Winged Knight continued.

"The goddess is very surprised, you seem to be different from ordinary humans, even the gods, and the corrosive effect of the darkness on you is far from powerful."

"That's why the goddess can use [sunshine moisture] to suppress those shadows."

ใ€Sunshine Moisturizeใ€‘. Is this the name of the Great Miracle?

Far beyond all the descriptions of the "miracles" of recovery in the books. What kind of magnificent, or tender and loving story is that?

Lane's thoughts did not affect the Winged Knight's paraphrasing.

"The dark power should be entangled with all the infected, even those who have come into contact and heard of it."

"It's darkness that can't be burned by fire. For fire can only burn [fuel] and suppress the shadow created by the burning, but it cannot extinguish the shadow. Therefore, in Eldridge's body, only the darkness was still as it was in its heyday. โ€

"If you want to remove the darkness from your eyes once and for all, go and crusade against Eldridge."

"It is still far from the terrible age of his prophecy, the age of the deep sea. The darkness is not yet called the 'deep sea', or even the 'abyss', but only 'secluded'. โ€

"So as long as you crusade against Eldridge, you will have no effect."

Lan En lowered his head, and in his mind he was conducting a series of information summaries and logical arrangements with Mentos.

'Secluded' is not the name of a certain force, but the name of a certain force that has developed to its infancy.

If the situation continues to deteriorate, the flames dim, and the darkness expands and silts, then the 'gloom' will become the 'abyss', and then enter the 'deep sea age' that Eldridge once predicted.

Ultimately. It still takes [Flame] to contain the darkness.

It's really in line with the way this world was born.

All in all, if you want to get rid of the darkness that is entrenched in the depths of his [Vision], you must completely kill Eldridge.

Damn, [Salary King] is worthy of being the fulcrum that continues the world. Just by seeing that essence, it was completely involved with him.

Lan En pursed his lips secretly.

But when he looked up, he stroked his silver hair from his forehead to the side, and looked at the goddess sitting on the bed.

"Thanks to the information, I now at least have a clear goal. But why?"

Lan En's eyes were a little puzzled.

Rosalia had already indulged in her own grief so deep that Eldridge was about to eat her, but she was indifferent.

Why did you tell yourself so much this time?

The winged knight next to him stopped talking, and Lan turned his head to look over, and found that the guy who had talked to him happily was also scratching his helmet at this time, as if he didn't know anything.

So Lan En tentatively pinched a handprint towards Rosaria.

Variant [Seal of Axif] - two-way communication.

Rosaria's originally lowered head lifted slightly, as if sensing this connection in thought.

"You make me feel a little nostalgic."

Just like the face under the black veil, the gentle and warm female voice entered Lan En's heart.

Immediately, there are some mental memories of the picture.

On that incomparably magnificent and huge battlefield, in the era when there were still many gods.

Lan En saw two incomparably powerful warriors!

The two of them seemed to be father and son, tall and strong, majestic and dignified, and both had gray hair.

The father wore a towering crown, and on his muscular arm was a brilliant spear made of golden thunder.

And that son, holding a huge golden sword and spear, also gathered golden thunder.

Although this memory is only a static picture, the incomparable strength of these two people, their respective persistence and will, seem to erupt through their hair and pores!

It's even enough to make the viewer shiver!

"You make the thunder look like. The way I protected me made me nostalgic. โ€

The gentle voice continued.

"It's been so long and I'm grateful that you're allowing me to relive those long pasts. Memories are especially precious in these difficult days. โ€

The goddess on the bed silently owed to the witcher in front of her.

This is Rosalia's gratitude.

The others didn't know what they said, but they just looked at Lan and the goddess who didn't speak for some reason.

It is not difficult to communicate with the goddess, and even make the goddess who has lost her tongue make meaningful noises with magic or miracles.

It's just that the goddess has always refused to communicate with people before.

"You're a noble knight, Lane. There is nothing more righteous than standing up against the darkness in order to protect something. โ€

The goddess continued.

"But the end is coming"

"It's time for you to go, Lanne. To solve your problems, the darkness peeking into those eyes. In this way, even if the abyss is rampant in the future world, your special will allow you to survive for a while longer. โ€

"I bless you, knight."

As she said inwardly, Rosaria's hand reached out from under the long black veil and rested lightly on Lanen's raised right hand.

One-touch collection.

The witcher looked up suddenly.

But on that bed, the goddess had returned to her original form, and seemed unwilling to communicate with anyone in any way.

"Let's see you here, Rosalia is tired."

The Winged Knight reached out in front of the bed and motioned for the goddess not to disturb again.

Lan En didn't do much to pester.

Just kept looking at the goddess who lowered her head again, slowly stood up, and exited the dormitory.

Only the three winged knights remained in the room with the goddess, and closed the huge door again.

Lann looked away from the door, snatched the flannel ball off the unicorn's back, and rubbed its helmet.

"Thanks, flannel balls. You were fierce just now! โ€

Although Lane didn't think that Leonard would actually draw his sword at that time, he was still grateful that the flannel ball bared his teeth at Leonard in order to protect him.

"This is the meow it should be! I'm a follower cat! โ€

Flannel Ball was a little embarrassed and lifted his helmet.

After placing it and the Kirin on one side, Lan En then walked over to Leonard's side.

The goddess knight still stood by the closed door frame, with his back against the door frame and his hands on his chest.

Seeing Lan En coming, he was the first to speak out under the silver mask.

"What did you and Rosalia say at the end?"

"We just now can be regarded as having the same enemy." Lan En didn't answer first, but spread his hands, "Can't you be polite?" It's like an interrogation. โ€

"If you also want to communicate with the goddess, I can think of a way for you."

"Huh." Leonard sneered indifferently.

"If I really want to talk to the goddess, there are many ways. I just don't want the goddess to get hurt in any way. โ€

"For that, you have to be more prepared."

"Even me?"

Lan En stretched out his arms and signaled that he was harmless to humans and animals.

Leonard, on the other hand, choked up, "Especially you! โ€

"Evoke the precious memories of others, in this hopeless world. Oh, I can't think of anything more cruel than that. โ€
