Chapter 138 Responsibilities I
When Richard landed in the deep blue, there was only one of the three griffins left at the time of departure, and the strongest griffin almost fell down from the last ten meters or so, and as soon as it landed on the platform, it lay down directly, constantly spitting out blood-colored foam, and it was not good to see it.
Richard rolled over from the griffin's back, his body still light and agile, but when he landed, his legs were weak, and he knelt directly on the ground, and his face was unusually flushed.
There were already two mages standing next to the dark blue griffin, who had been sent by the gray dwarves to watch here day and night, waiting for Richard's arrival. In Deep Blue, as long as you are a mage, there are very few people who don't know Richard. This legendary mage's most proud student back then was really talented, and he became the royal constructor of the Holy Alliance in a short period of time, which can be said to give the legendary mage a long face.
The two mages were taken aback when they saw Richard falling, and hurriedly helped him up, and after a quick examination, they found that Richard had only traveled a long way, and he was too tired.
A moment later, Richard saw Black Gold and Phil, and in addition to these two people that Richard knew best, almost all the other Grand Magisters of Deep Blue had arrived. After all, Richard's request was too heavy for Black Gold and Phil to decide. Everyone was moved when they learned that Richard had traveled thousands of kilometers in just one day, flying sleeplessly from Faust to the deep blue, and killing three high-class griffons in a row.
Richard insisted on going to see the legendary mage, even if she was asleep. This can be said to be the most vulnerable period for Su Helen, in this extraordinary period, if there is anyone else, it is impossible for the Grand Magus to let him step into the exclusive tower area of the legendary mage. But everyone knows that Richard is a special one. It can be said that a very persistent wish of the legendary mage for so many years has been fulfilled in Richard.
The archmages deliberated and finally agreed to let Richard try it himself. The Legendary Mage's tower area is now maintained entirely by her elven golems, and no one else, including any of the Archmages present, is allowed to enter the tower. These elven puppets are not only indistinguishable from real high elves in appearance, but also in wisdom and strength. Moreover, the tower area of the legendary mage is full of chaotic time and space, even if there is no guard and no one to lead, the end of rash intrusion will only be destruction.
However, the initial formation of the chaotic time and space in the tower area was not that the legendary mage deliberately created a trap, but that she had too many things to put down, so she casually opened up a large and small heterotopic space, which was specially used as a warehouse for piling things. Of course, these spaces are not as stable as the half-plane, and after a long time, the entrances of some spaces begin to fluctuate. This kind of spatial fluctuation had no effect on the legendary mage, of course, but to others, it was the most terrifying cutting blade.
So the Archmages weren't worried about the legendary mage, but Richard.
However, Richard insisted on trying, so the gray dwarf and Phil led Richard to the gate of the legendary mage's exclusive tower area.
The towering heavy steel gate was very familiar to Richard's eyes, with its heavy red ochre color and weathered lines, full of primitive beauty.
The two heavy steel doors with dark patterns engraved with the Mithril Magic Circle rarely opened, as the legendary mages themselves simply did not need them. When he came to the gate, the space suddenly fluctuated, and a tall elf wearing full demon-resistant silver armor stepped out of the void, holding a huge Mithril two-handed hammer in both hands, and his momentum was as deep as a mountain. The two-handed hammer was a weapon that could hardly be found in the hands of an elf, but in the hands of this elf, it was imposing. No archmagus would want to let this hammer smash it.
The elf said in a cold tone, "Your Highness has sealed off this area, and no one is allowed to enter. ”
Richard stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "I am Richard, Richard Akmund, a student of His Highness Helen Sue. I want to see the teacher, just to take a look!"
The elf lifted her eyes, revealing a pair of amber pupils. He took a deep look at Richard and suddenly said, "You can come in." Come with me. ”
The gate of the tower area slowly opened, and the elf put his hands behind his back and led Richard into the main hall behind the door, stepping on the spiraling stairs, all the way up. Behind them, the magic golem pushed the heavy steel gate to slowly close, locking Black Gold and Phil out.
Finally, Richard was standing in Helen Su's private area again, the place that made his memory fresh and left him with a glorious shadow.
The qiē here is exactly the same as that day. Time seems to have left no trace.
The abyssal crystals on the walls and dome still glow in varying shades of blue, painting everything in the room a dreamy blue. The mirror-like ground reflects the stars. Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the Hengdong Mountains at night are majestic and mysterious.
Several black elf girls sent Richard here, and quietly withdrew. Before leaving, one of them whispered in Richard's ear, "Your Highness is there." Don't worry about the time, you can stay as long as you want. ”
Richard looked at her finger, and suddenly realized that there was a square platform made of pure crystal in the space where the deep and light blue light were superimposed, and the legendary mage was lying quietly on the crystal platform, his little face calm as if he was asleep. Against the backdrop of the sky-blue crystal platform, her skin was so soft that it seemed to break if it was pressed a little harder.
I saw Su Hailun again, but I didn't expect it to be in this situation.
Richard did not pass, but stood quietly, I don't know how long. Finally, he took a difficult step, slowly came to the crystal platform, leaned down slightly, and stared at the small face that was enough to turn everyone upside down, and his heart was full of confusion for a while.
Su Helen's blonde hair was casually draped, like a waterfall of gold sprinkled on the crystal platform where the stars were swimming. But as Richard approached, a strand of blonde hair on her forehead suddenly moved!
After hearing that the legendary mage and the gods of Faro were injured and fell asleep in a battle, he didn't have a second thought in his heart, just thinking about rushing to the deep blue as soon as possible to take a look at her.
At this moment, when he really saw Su Hailun, Richard suddenly didn't know what to do.
Richard didn't even know the severity of her injuries. Scouting had no effect on her, and she didn't have any magical response at all. Moreover, the legendary mage seems to be shrouded in an invisible layer of power, and even Richard's true talent has lost its effect. The legendary mage in front of him is like a sleeping girl, no longer with the unstoppable majesty of the past.
But how could she go to fight the gods of the Phara?
Thinking of the dense names of the gods on Clark's book of gods, Richard's heart trembled.
He reached out his trembling hand, trying to touch her face.
At this moment, the strand of blonde hair on Su Hailun's forehead suddenly stood up!
Richard's eyes froze, staring at the strand of blonde hair. The blonde hair stood more straight, and the tips kept vibrating, as if to demonstrate to Richard.
It's just a strand of Su Helen's hair. This was Richard's first thought. The second thought, however, is that this is the hair of a legendary mage!
Despite all the mixed thoughts that rose in her heart, Richard's hand still fell, falling on her little face. Just as Richard's hand was about to touch the legendary mage's skin, the strand of blonde hair seemed to be unbearable, and it pierced like lightning, easily piercing Richard's palm!
The sharp pain brought Richard's brows together, but instead of withdrawing his hand, he continued to fall until his fingertips lightly touched Su's skin. Hot blood continued to pour out of the wound, dripping down the edge of the palm, and a blood flower bloomed on Su Helen's snow-white skin.
The wisp of gold moved, reluctantly pulled it out of Richard's hand, and finally rubbed it vigorously against the wound in the palm of his hand, as if rubbing something, before continuing to stand up, trembling and demonstrating to Richard.
Richard withdrew his hand, not for anything else, but for fear that blood would stain her blonde hair.
Richard sat on the edge of the crystal platform, just quietly looking at the sleeping Su Helen, his injured right hand on his lap, allowing the blood to soak through his robe and then slowly dry.
In the past, the legendary mage did not know how much he had quietly done for him and how much he had given him. Without Legendary Mages, there would be no Royal Constructors of the Holy Alliance today, and there would be no Holy Constructors of the future. But now, she is sleeping here.
The sleeping Helen Su is like an innocent maiden, completely unable to connect with her identity as a legendary mage. Only in this way could Richard sit beside her, quietly watching her, reminiscing about a night that was as unreal as a dream. If she hadn't fallen asleep, no matter how uninhibited Richard was, he would not have been able to overcome the huge gap in identity and strength between the two sides, and he could stay so freely in such a close place to her. When she is awake, although Su Helen will also be like a girl with a changeable temperament, her power as deep as the abyssal sea will make the most arrogant mortals ashamed of themselves.
Even now, what Richard wants to do for her is like telling a joke.
But thinking of the image in the depths of his memory, Richard only felt a heavy weight weighing on his heart, very similar to the feeling he felt when he first successfully returned to Norland and learned that Gordon had fallen to an alien plane.
It's the feeling of needing to do something for her, and it's also a feeling called responsibility.
Richard stretched out his right hand, gently wiped the blood from the legendary mage's face, and whispered, "Sleep in peace, I will help you guard the dark blue." ”
With that, Richard stood up and prepared to leave.
The blonde hair on Su's forehead stood on end again, staring at Richard vigilantly, as if it sensed that something bad was about to happen.
Really!
Richard made a lightning move, grabbed the strand of golden retriever, rubbed it viciously a few times, and then grabbed and pulled it out, and then stopped!
