743. Murphy and the Flame Grail

"I don't know what old Finok did in the New World, but from what he told me, it was quite terrifying, and it filled the mind of the last White Knight Sage in the world with thoughts of self-destruction.

He went there to find Avalon's three oak blades.

He found it.

The price is that he loses himself.

Perhaps the moment he returned to the Old World, he had already embarked on the path of his destined death. ”

In the Hall of the Holy Blood, which had been cleared out because the old flywheel was digging up the original gold ore, Murphy walked through it with a disgusted look on his face.

It was still semi-enclosed, and the rubble above it was all pressed against the branches of the huge cage-like oak that Old Fenok had incarnated incarnate, making the once Holy Blood Hall now look like a wonderful amalgamation of earth rocks and gigantic plants.

Among them, the isolated subspace aura has long since dissipated and purified, and only the purest natural aura is left flowing here.

Of course, the subspace forces have shaped the underground here with a huge amount of gold-burning ore, and although the surface layer has been mined, the automatic excavators designed by the old flywheel are still digging day and night in the tunnels below, and the accumulation of those gold-burning mines also produces quite wonderful results here.

Even as Murphy stood here, he could feel the thoughts in his heart surging in an unseemly active way, especially those desires of all kinds.

The Blood Vulture is a race of desire.

It is difficult for the vultures to suppress their desire for pleasure and longing, which is evident in Tracey's somewhat uncontrollable posture after opening the "meat".

In this gold-burning land, Murphy's evil thoughts surged, and even forced him to use a weak omega program to suppress it.

Not to mention Chuchut behind him.

The anger and disgust in her heart had been completely catalyzed, and the strange obsidian war knife in her hand was looking at the sacred oak around her with the eyes of a lumberjack, thinking about how to cut down the divine giant tree incarnated by the "White Lord".

Obviously, she didn't think that the death of old Finok would wash away the despair and disaster he had brought to the Aztecs.

"I am not whitewashing old Finoch of his sins, but I am only warning you with his experience that a young lady in a foreign land, a determined saint like Old Finoch, after being seduced by the twilight, will also do terrible deeds, and do unconscionable evil deeds for a great purpose.

You should learn from him.

To be honest, I don't think you've been alone on your journey from the New World to the Old World unnoticed by the pervasive twilight, and I think all of your actions are probably in their plans.

They want to use you for some evil purpose. ”

Murphy said in a deep voice.

Chuchut stared suspiciously at the handsome vampire in front of her, and after a few seconds, she said:

"So, Dusk is your enemy? Also my enemy? ”

"You've been dealing with them for so many years, don't you even know their names?"

Murphy was surprised and said:

"Although they are good at hiding, such a high-profile operation always reveals a lot of information."

"They don't call themselves by that name over there, they call themselves 'Atonementers' or 'Believers in the Truth.'"

The very young Chuchut explained:

"As for whether I will be tracked by them, I don't think you need to worry about that, the Quetzalcoatl Sun God Kurkan has given me a mission and protection, and no one can track me down through prophecy or spells."

"Wait!"

Murphy's eyes narrowed, and he said:

"But you just said that your protector god has been polluted by death and darkness? It sounds paradoxical, you don't have to explain it, I probably do. The side of order that belongs to your protector god is fighting against the dark side of your own defilement, right?

Equivalent to Avalon's relationship with Lady Spider. ”

"I don't know much about your gods here, but Lena explained it to me in the same way, and I guess that's the closest thing you can get to the truth."

Chuchute was not very willing to discuss her own gods, and she said vaguely:

"But Kulkan, who is as bright as the sun, did say that He might have a difficult choice, and He asked me to find some knowledge in the continent that would help him to regain his purity, and that knowledge could only exist in the darkest places.

I don't have that much time, Vampire Lord.

Lena told me that I could find the knowledge I needed in the ancient kingdom of Callum, where people worship the harmony of yin and yang, and that they always have a way of separating the two sides of a thing. ”

"Or maybe I can take you to Mossy Vale and find the Spider Lady's Primordial Shrine there"

Murphy made another suggestion.

He said:

"Avalon has also been in a situation very similar to your Quetzalcoatl, where a part of him has been degraded and blackened by years of fighting the subspace, and he has used extreme methods to separate that part from his body to form the fourth dark face.

Individuals from the same origin, but belonging to two extremes.

I also have the Chosen One of the Spider Lady beside me, and you can ask her for these secrets of the past. ”

"How do you know that?"

Miss Chuchute was astonished and said:

"Aren't you a vampire? Lena told me that vampires are depraved beings who are hated by all gods, and that is illustrated by the violentness of Kulkan's Sun Knife against you!

He doesn't like you, he even hates you, and I've never seen a benevolent Quetzalcoatl so disgusted with a life he just saw. ”

"We brought it on ourselves, and we deserved it."

Murphy waved his hand and said:

"But I'm a unique vampire, I know all the secrets of the gods, if you don't believe me, give me access to the Quetzalcoatl's Sun Knife in your hand, I don't think I'll be incinerated by it."

"You're crazy!"

Chuchute stared at Murphy with the eyes of a madman, she took a step back, hid the obsidian hunting knife behind her, and said:

"I don't want to be sentenced to death for the murder of a local lord on the first day I enter a new place, the Sun Knife can call on the fire of the sun, and I saw very well that you Midnight Children can't resist the purifying flames."

"I'm just giving you an example."

Murphy spread his hands and said:

"Kindness to you, I know how to deal with believers, Chuchut, the God who pleases you will make you see me as a friend as quickly as possible.

You have a lot of secrets hidden in you, but unfortunately we are at war, and I don't have that much time to slowly make friends with you, so I can only use this most direct way, come on, let me touch it and pay tribute to your gods.

I promise that if Kulkan needs help, then I will do everything I can to help him.

It's not that I'm naturally warm-hearted, it's just something I have to do"

"No! The Sun Knife is too dangerous. ”

Chuchut shook her head vigorously, throwing her braid out of her coiled state, she looked at Murphy, hesitated, and said:

"But there is another thing to prove it. You're right, if Kulkan thinks you're credible, then I can trust you too. ”

With that, she took out something that stunned Murphy from the small ornament-like purse that she had fixed behind her waist.

It was a drinking corner that resembled an ivory wine glass.

Crafted from the claws or teeth of some kind of beast, and carved into a feathered serpent around the body of the cup, it looks very artistic, and although its technique is completely different from the style of the Old World, it can still be seen that it is definitely some kind of precious sacrifice.

As Chuchut held it, the ivory glass was still wrapped with layers of sunfire, but there was an unsettling black shadow mixed with what should have been reddish-gold.

It seems that the situation in Kulkan is really bad.

But what surprised Murphy even more was the true identity of the thing, and he exclaimed:

"This is the Holy Grail of Quetzalcoatl? You actually carry this kind of thing that can make Knights of the Grail in batches with you? Are you really just an ordinary priest in Kulkan? Miss Chucchut! I'm starting to doubt your identity.

You'd better be honest, don't hide it, I also have the ability to read minds, I just didn't use it out of politeness. ”

"You still know the Holy Grail?"

Chuchute was also taken aback, and said:

"I'm starting to doubt your identity, Mr. Vampire, but you better pass the Sun Trial of Kulkan first, touch it, and if you're a liar, then this Sun Grail will pour fire to punish you.

If you pass the Sun Trial of Kulkan, then I will consider you a trustworthy person and tell you all the secrets. ”

"Okay, let's get it."

Murphy nodded in satisfaction, and he tilted his head to Chuchute and said:

"So, do you want to pull a hook? Little girl, don't you all like to make this agreement? ”

"You're enough! Vampire, I'm not the little girl you think I am! ”

Chuchute scolded in dissatisfaction, and pushed the Sun Grail in his hand towards Murphy as if in a threatening manner.

She thought that this would scare the vampires, after all, this Sun Relic has a natural restraint on the Night Clan, but she didn't expect Murphy to be so scary, not only did he not retreat, but instead stepped forward and grabbed the decorations at both ends of the Sun Grail with both hands.

The left hand held the head of the feathered serpent, and the right hand clasped its tail.

Such a blasphemous act immediately angered the holy relic, and the terrifying fire of the sun poured out of the chalice, covering Murphy in an instant, causing Chuchute to scream, already repenting in his heart for the charge of "assassinating the governor of Transnesia".

But in reality, this is just a faΓ§ade.

The moment the destructive sun covered his body, Murphy immediately identified himself to the other side:

"Hey, Kurkan, I'm Alpha! That's right, it's the 'Alpha' you know, the Creator's Chosen One, the Administrator Alpha, you've heard that name in the Frontier Pact, right? So, be gentle, okay?

Bastard, you're going to mess up my elaborate hairstyle! ”

Bite!

The connector code is aligned.

The moment Murphy reported to his home, the flame of the sun that tumbled and flowed on his body and could burn his body with just a little push immediately became gentle, and in Chuchurt's stunned gaze, the bursting fire of purification wrapped around Murphy, creating a vivid posture of the Quetzalcoatl Sun God in an artistic form.

That's a big golden serpent!

Surrounded by luxurious scales and inlaid with gemstone gold rings on the tail, she looks like a "big sister" who loves beauty.

However, its back is covered with brightly colored feathers, which gives it the characteristics of a bird at the same time, and the most exaggerated is the six decorative crowns of phoenix feathers behind the snake's head, making the snake look like a crown with flames.

At the moment of forming, Quetzalcoatl erected its upper body, its exaggerated and flamboyant wings opening in the front half of its body, completely insulating Chuchut's prying eyes.

The conversation that followed was not something that an ordinary little Aztec princess could listen to.

It was a conversation between the gods and the caretaker, about the secrets left behind by the Creator.

"Oh my God! Kulkan has appeared! ”

Chuchut screamed.

But in the next second, the entire hall of the Holy Blood was cut off by the flames of the sun that were churning around, and the flames pushed her out of the area in a gentle gesture, and at the same time turned into pillars of fire that burned everything around her that shouldn't exist.

That's right, that's you!

Avalon, the "god of voyeurism" who is hiding here and eavesdropping on the "holy remains" of old Finok!

"Touch the Holy Grail, Alpha! Take the information you have to get and then we'll talk about me and you. ”

A majestic lady's voice echoed in Murphy's heart, sounding like a heroic muscular big sister, okay! The addition of the Sun Imperial Sister Kurkan has pushed the astral djinn group to the dilemma of yin and yang decline.

Murphy nodded, he knew the rules.

Just like Avalon conveyed the message through the Woods Grail, Quetzalcoatl's Holy Grail must also contain some information about the mysterious "Frontier Pact".

So Murphy relaxed and let the memory of the Holy Grail flood into his heart.

In the next moment, everything in front of him changed drastically, just like the last time he spied the Holy Grail, and he was transported back to the scene hundreds of years ago when the djinn ascended to the throne.

But this time there is no longer an obvious picture, replaced by a sound:

"So, swear, djinn! Swear before the mortal defenders left behind by the Creator, and embark on that dangerous path, so that we may bestow upon you the most precious creations of the Creator. ”

"I swear!"

The voice rang out.

It's a single sound formed by multiple timbres mixed together.

Murphy could tell from it the distinctive trichromatic tones of Avalon, Sue's roar and Gaia's muffledness, the majestic and articulate tone of the Eastern Holy Spirit, and, of course, the muscular voice of Quetzalcoatl.

But that's not all.

The number of djinns involved in this "Frontier Pact" is a little more than Murphy imagined.

"The long night is coming, and I will follow the Creator's contract today and set foot on the battlefield of subspace! I will be the sword of the Creator, slaying the enemy of all things! I will be part of the eternal front, a barrier between the astral plane and reality!

I will serve the Lord of Creation, day by day; I will draw my sword against His enemies, night and night.

I will do my best to revive this world until I die. ”

The djinn chanted the words of the contract, which sounded rather harsh, and even for the astral djinn, "death" was an unspeakable fear, but when they came here, they had already made up their minds.

To make a harsh vow for something precious, they must be afraid of what is coming, and they are eager for what they are about to get.

The astral humanoid who presided over the pact responded after they had fulfilled their oath:

"The day of the oath is also the time of war!

Guardians of the Frontier, accept the Creator's gift for your ultimate promotion, and set foot on your battlefield!

The oath will not be extinguished, and you shall not turn back!

Until the last man falls, until the border of the sea of stars collapses.

One last time asking, is there anyone else who wants to quit? ”

The djinn was silent.

This represented their determination, and the astral figure raised its left hand, and in the next moment, beams of light shaped by flying starlight descended from the void and enveloped each djinn body.

The message of the Holy Grail of the Sun ended at this moment, and Murphy came to his senses from the meeting carried by the Holy Grail.

He reflected on the contents of the contract he had just heard, and he asked:

"This is how you ascended to God? This is what the Frontier Pact is about? Are you the vanguard chosen by the Creator to fight against the shadows of the subspace? ”

"That's the sentinel's choice, the Creator has already left, much sooner than you think."

Quetzalcoatl replied:

"After the destruction of the Golden Age, the Sentinels also faced the threat of war, and we made a mutual aid agreement with them, which is the origin of the Frontier Pact.

We have taken the gift of the Creator at the cost of the war we have been fighting in the subspace for more than a thousand years, and the price of the astral plane we were born into has been shattered, and that is the tragic price! That's what I'm here to tell you, Alpha.

Some djinn regretted it.

The Frontier War is more brutal than we can imagine, and in that kind of war, death is a mercy that cannot be sought, and too many individuals have been captured and corrupted by the subspace, and the rest are only struggling.

It turns out that the cost of becoming a god is much more terrible than we think, and some of us are plotting something dangerous, alpha.

They want to break the contract, they want to end the hard labor.

Be careful. ”
