Chapter 63 Growth
The long festival battle was finally over, and the moment he heard the news of the victory, Richard only showed a faint smile, still standing in the final arena, not moving, as if he was still waiting for the next game.
The referee came over and whispered, "Although you won the final battle, there are still some procedures before the ceremony is held! โ
Richard actually smiled helplessly and said, "I want to go back, but I'm afraid I need help." โ
The elder was stunned and asked, "Weak?"
"Yes. โ
"But didn't you get weak after three hours on the field, and you're back to-day. Did this battle last three minutes?" the elder still couldn't believe it.
"How do I know? This is your medicine. Richard said helplessly.
This sentence immediately left the elder speechless. So he called two strong barbarian warriors, set up Richard, and sent him back to his room. As soon as he returned to his room, Richard collapsed on it, dying of exhaustion for a moment, not even having the strength to lift his fingers. He lay quietly, and began to recall in his heart the whole process of the battle against the Heavenly Forces. At the beginning of the war, all the qi qi qi was proceeding according to Richard's expected thinking, and the talent of wisdom was particularly strong at this time. However, the variable occurred at the moment when the torrent of holy light and Richard were hedged.
Richard, who had not been able to recover his best condition, was originally one level worse than Uriel, and the combined power of the magic weapon and the life annihilation was not as powerful as the heavenly arm, so when the forces of the two sides were hedged without any tricks, Richard was actually at a disadvantage. On the surface, it seems that Hellfire has a slight upper hand in the war of attrition, but Richard's magic is far inferior to Uriel. After consuming it like this for a while, Richard will run out of mana first, and thus lose the opportunity.
Richard was originally going to pour out all the excess magic power, and at the moment of the violent explosion, he fought Uriel with the last knife that he had been studying for several years. What he wanted to grasp was the slightest flaw in Uriel's relaxed spirit.
But when Prison Flame was really at a disadvantage, Richard suddenly seemed to hear a roar full of anger. This roar was filled with indescribable majesty, and Lee sensed that the whole world was shaken!
The roar did not come from the outside world, but sounded directly in Richard's soul. At the moment when the roar sounded, Richard suddenly felt that all the upper and lower powers had been opened up and gathered into a whole, and several blood-colored silk threads even stretched into the two stars representing different powers in the dark blue meditation world, drawing their power endlessly. At this moment, all of Richard's strength finally converged in one place, and then became more obscure and deep, slowly surging out, and pounced on Uriel.
This is a whole new power, a deeper level of ruin. And under the impetus of the power of the new life, the life of the annihilation has exerted unprecedented power, which is why there is that amazing knife.
But where did that roar come from?
Richard pondered, examining the inside of his body. All the power of the bloodline has been depleted, the five World Trees are completely bald trees that have lost their leaves, and the Akmund bloodline has barely flowed anymore, the lava there has solidified, and only a wisp of scorching breath can be felt in the crevices. But with Richard's mind, a long list of mysterious symbols floated in Akmund's blood, and their meanings naturally appeared in Richard's consciousness. It was Richard's real name, and at the moment, the long list of symbols at the front was flowing with a dark golden sheen, which meant that this real name had awakened. The awakened part is more than half longer than before, but together they still have the same name: Dismaten, or ruined miรจ.
Richard examines his real name, wondering if Dismatsen is a name or represents a power. Originally, his real name meant the latter, but after hearing the roar, Richard began to consider the possibility of the former for the first time. After all, that roar was full of unspeakable arrogance and anger, not like mere power, but like a great being that Richard could not understand now.
Richard's real name flashed a few times before disappearing from the void. It takes a lot of strength to mobilize his real name, so Richard, who was already in a weakened state, immediately rushed into an irresistible drowsiness and fell asleep.
It was the first time he had slept so peacefully since he had set foot on Calando.
In the temple, the elders were talking at night. The elders of the Snow Mountain Presbyterian Church were all present, and most of the important elders of the regional presbyterian councils were also present. There was only one thing the elders discussed, and that was the fact that the festival battle had been won by a Norlander. This has never happened before, does it really make the Norlanders the fathers of the Son of God on earth?
The elders were noisy and quarrelsome. The majority opinion is firmly opposed, after all, Norland and Carlando have been at odds for countless years. However, the barbarian elders did not obliterate the fact that Richard had won the festival battle with dignity, so they subconsciously avoided this topic. The elders also had different ideas about how to arrange the ceremony, but the only common denominator was that it should never be done strictly according to tradition. It was to invite the patriarchs of all the great clans of the barbarian clan, as well as all the strong people who were willing to obey the call of the temple to attend the ceremony, and if they did, the face of the Kalando barbarians would be completely lost.
After arguing for most of the night, these elders with outstanding strength also felt tired, so their grievances were concentrated on the heads of the elders of the Snow Mountain Elders' Council. In fact, they all know that there is no result at all, but everyone is depressed in their hearts and wants to find a way to vent it.
Eventually, the elders agreed to postpone the ritual and wait for Richard to recover. This is not a solution to the problem at all, but it is recognized and implemented.
In a quiet courtyard at the back of the temple, Shan and Hai, dressed in wide robes, were kneeling in front of the statue of the beast god, pondering something. At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the high priest Uzalazu walked in. He looked at the mountains and seas that had been washed away from the sage totem and the braids, first sighed, then smiled, and said, "Richard has won the festival battle, and now your wish has finally been fulfilled." โ
"Really? The mountains and the sea said lightly.
The high priest put the stone basin in his arms in the house, took out an old animal skin bag, opened it layer by layer, revealing several stones of different sizes and colors inside, and said: "Now that the festival war is over, I can re-draw the sage totem for you." โ
The mountains and the sea shook their heads and said, "You don't want me to beat Richard, do you?"
Uzarazu's hand stiffened, and then he said embarrassedly, "This is indeed some ...... No, what most of the elders think. But whether the elders will make demands on you or not, you can do whatever you want. At least, well, the process can be a little more intense, otherwise the faces of our barbarians are a little unsightly. โ
The mountains and seas were still looking at the statue of the beast god, and said without looking back: "Since I have washed away the sage totem, I feel very relaxed now, and I don't plan to paint it for the time being, so be it!"
The high priest sighed helplessly and said, "Then I'll put things here first." When you've figured it out, come and call me again. โ
Before Uzarazu went out, Shan and Hai asked lightly, "You don't want to think of any new tricks, do you?" โ
The High Priest coughed suddenly, and said in a loud voice, "No, no!
But his cough betrayed him. At the meeting of elders that had just ended, many elders did mention this plan, but it was finally rejected by the Great Elder and the Great Priest, as well as Asa, the mother of the mountains and the sea. If this was the case, Asa said at the time, then the elders would be as shameless as the Norlanders.
The mountains and the sea hummed and stopped talking.
Uzarazu looked at the backs of the mountains and the sea, and suddenly felt that she was very thin and lonely. The High Priest let out a long sigh and said, "Now, the outcome of the festival battle cannot be changed, you can rest assured of this. It's just that the format may be changed a little bit so that everyone can have a step down. As for how to change it, there is no discussion yet. But there will never be any more bad news. โ
Mountains and the sea nodded and said, "Okay." Richard wants to rest, and I want to have a quiet day. Tomorrow night, I'll add the Sage Totem!"
The high priest was unexpected, and his face also showed joy, and then left.
In the dead of night, the mountains and the sea still sit quietly. She suddenly stood up and began to stretch her body for half an hour, until she saw sweat on her forehead. She opened the door and called out to the courtyard, "I'm hungry, go get something to eat." โ
Several barbarian female warriors who were on vigil got up one after another to prepare food. The amount of food in the mountains and seas is not ordinarily large, and it usually takes two or three people to move. A moment later, they returned with several large stone basins, filled with steaming food.
"Let's eat!" the mountains and the sea beckoned. Several female guards were surprised and delighted, they knew that the recipes of the mountains and the sea were special, and to be able to eat a meal with her was worth half a year of hard work. As soon as they sat down, the mountains and the sea suddenly stood up, and before the guards could figure out what was going on, it was already dark in front of them, and they were all knocked unconscious by the girl. The mountains and seas pulled out a few animal skin cords from the cupboard, tightened their wide skirts, and then wrapped a large bag full of animal skins and roasted them, carried them behind their backs, and then said sorry to the fainting female warriors, and left the courtyard.
Richard was sleeping in a daze when he was suddenly woken up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw mountains and seas. This was the first time he had seen a girl in Calando. Richard was surprised and delighted, and just as he wanted to say something, Shan and Hai put his index finger in front of his mouth, shushed, and then lowered his voice and said, "Grab your things and come with me!"
"Where are you going?" said Richard.
"Run! Are you really going to participate in the ceremony?" The mountains and the sea did not allow Richard to figure out the situation, so as soon as they lifted him up, put him on his shoulder, grabbed Richard's luggage with his left hand, and went out of the courtyard, and ran down the snowy mountain, and disappeared into the darkness of the night in a blink of an eye.
At this moment, on a snowy peak in the distance, Goshawk and Asa were standing there, watching the girl carry Richard all the way. The goshawk suddenly sighed, his expression was complicated, and he said, "My daughter has grown up." โ
