There seems to be some meaning in this, some ancient, the shadow of the truth that is hidden behind history. (The first text is published in the reading room biquge.info)
Edward stared at the blurred handwriting, his snort growing heavier...... This shouldn't be false...... That treasure trove left behind by Isgandar?
Of course, the end of the road is just a door.
It stands alone in the middle of a small, circular square.
In fact, at first glance, it was nothing more than a simple arch - made of massive, clean black rock, rough and tall, like the main gate of a city...... Along with the ground beneath it, it was protected by a shallow, unknown magical halo, and even though it had gone through countless winds and frosts, it was still as smooth as a mirror, sitting quietly here, as if passing through the dust of eternal laws and history, appearing in the field of vision of every observer.
More than ten types of prayers praising the wisdom of the Emperor are carved on this smooth arch, and the mysterious pattern seems to hang down from the sky. And when the gaze gradually moves closer, gradually staring at the sky, it will give birth to a kind of illusion that every word will turn into waves, flames, and overturning at any time, and make people's breath involuntarily stagnate.
And in the next moment, a breeze blew in the air, and the bright sunlight had become cold and dark in an instant, but the rock that made up the great gate was plated with a layer of red, and the light and shadow were like flames, blazing! Rushing towards everyone! Then, a power seeped into their bodies...... A power that shakes people's hearts, as if it were a breath of warmth left over thousands of years ago.
Edward's eyes froze.
There seemed to be some subtle sound echoing in my ears, and in an instant, it became grand again, it was the clash of metal, the neighing of war horses, and the roar of humans...... The peaceful and tranquil woodland turned into a battlefield in the next moment, with swords, spears and giant mallets. The staggered roars of countless weapons filled the heavens and the earth! The shouts of killing filled people's five senses. It was as if blood smeared the vision, and then flowed happily on the parched earth, until the grand bell rang. A qiē comes down to the silence of the formless.
The ephemeral illusion attracts attention, so when it dissipates, it becomes visible. Under the arch of the door. An unexpected figure.
Men, women, young people, old people...... The figures of the four people form a wonderful combination, slightly breaking the silence and vicissitudes here......
They stood still in front of the door, looking up at a layer of lilac, twisted mist. Rising in the arch of the door, the emptiness of the arch gradually filled into a water-like illusion.
Portals.
"Oh, what a small surprise to catch up. ”
As the crowd slowly approached, the young man withdrew his gaze from the rippling teleportation surface,
His voice was magnetic, clear, and had a certain singular rhythm. It's just that when it falls into the eardrum, it will always make people feel a kind of discomfort inexplicably - that is a kind of arrogance. Engraved in every bit of blood, in every bone marrow, and even, in every breath.
"Really...... A beautiful rabbit ......."
Someone, who was not very broad-minded, frowned and mocked in his heart.
Indeed, the young man who spoke, the proportions of his face, were surprisingly beautiful—if it weren't for the broad shoulders he had, and a little firm contour between the arch of his eyebrows and the bridge of his nose, it would not be an exaggeration to say that he was a beauty in men's clothes, but a pair of peach blossom eyes shimmered brightly, making the hearts of everyone who looked at him cold, as if what was burning there forever was a layer of arrogance and blazing heat...... Ice.
Of course, the uncomfortable feeling in Edward's heart at this time was only a third of the disgust, and more of the invisible pressure that came from the big man standing behind the beautiful man and woman.
It was a middle-aged man who was at least seven feet tall, and he was casually wearing a half-length leather armor...... The stitches on the leather armor were like loose and loose, as if they had been wrapped around him and then stitched up casually...... There were no armor skirts, no arm guards, not even shoulder armor, and the edges had been ground into fine burrs. A two-handed greatsword that has been quite popular in recent decades, nicknamed a mongrel, is cast with a wide cast, but on his back, it is as inconspicuous as an ordinary weapon......
His face is also very ordinary, ordinary and hard to remember...... Not even the beard that is common to a stout man, only messy hair, which covers the eyebrows,
But no one will look at him casually because of this. At least not Edward.
Because just standing there casually will make people involuntarily turn their eyes away, if you look at it for a little longer, there seems to be a faint fishy smell in the air, pungent to the nose - Edward knew in his heart that it was a strong man, or monster, who had broken into thousands of troops and horses alone, and even annihilated them all. Only then did it have a murderous aura.
At the same time, perhaps only he with the best eyesight here is the most certain, this guy is the warrior who has just severely damaged the Wyvern - that kind of terrible brute force, since it can be used in the form of twisting in the air, almost splitting a fifteen-foot-long Wyvern, and fighting with it face to face is obviously very unwise.
"It can be found, alas, forget it, it's not surprising, the illusion in front of the door is just to stop those mundane, and the descendants of the Elector of the Emperor should at least be able to ......"
The beautiful young man had no one in his eyes, but continued his comment, but the little earl, who had seen his face clearly, was startled and stood for a moment, and exclaimed, "You...... You're Tiberius Gracchus?"
"Do you recognize me?"
The young man's gaze glanced slightly, revealing a look of disgust, as if he had only noticed the child: "But who gave you permission to call me by my name and interrupt me?"
When his sneer sounded, the big man's gaze had already pressed on the little earl's nerves.
Press on.
They simply looked at each other, but the young man's eyes were filled with tears in an instant, and his knees were trembling, but he couldn't move his steps, like a frog stared at by a giant snake.
"I, I'm ...... I am...... Emperor's ...... Elector...... Hou, and Roland Saint-...... Minister of State's ...... Bainch-Felting-Bain...... Earl!"
It's just that this young man has a stubbornness that doesn't match his age, although his clenched teeth make a soft clucking sound...... Still squeezing some words out of his throat, he reluctantly pronounced the name, not even taking his eyes off it.
"It's you...... It's not you? ”
The young man seemed slightly stunned, and he stared at Edward for a moment before turning his gaze back to the little earl: "Bane...... I remember the direct line of the Bane family, which must have been consumed almost all these years? Okay. Although it is only a collateral family. This courage did not insult the name of Bane, the giant bear of the north wind. ”
The young man spoke slowly, and the giant snorted. Let the sweaty little poor get a chance to breathe: "However, there is no corresponding strength, the North Wind Giant Bear. It's just a fragile bear. Never to be the same again. ”
"If a great knight scares a child under the age of ten is brilliant, then brilliant...... It's better not to. ”
Edward lowered his head slightly, the shadow of the hood covered his face, and only the silver light of his eyes flashed: "The bear cub only has some time, and naturally there is hope of turning into a giant bear, but the rabbit ...... Hehe, even if you give them a long sword, they will only nest in the cave for a lifetime. Play a trick on your cubs. ”
This mockery, which implied insult, made the young man's whole person freeze in an instant.
“...... Kill him. He snapped his fingers casually, and gave a faint order.
Before the words fell, the middle-aged man had already stepped forward and got up.
It didn't look fast, but it was just a stride, and he had already passed a distance of dozens of feet between the two groups, and the pitch-black giant sword in his hand swung out a storm. It's almost unreactive!
Only the white shadow flashed forward at the same time. The sword that shone with white light slammed into the black in the storm!
The exchange of two swords was like a muffled thunder roaring at close range!
The holy warrior turned over and landed like a butterfly, but she couldn't hide the shock in her eyes - this sword she used to rush forward, and she had enough strength, the magic on her armor, and the power of the brute force technique, I am afraid that even a real dragon would not dare to take it seriously.
But the other party is not a dragon, but he can't be called a human anymore.
"Little ...... Okay!" The giant man shook his head and let out a hoarse laugh.
Drawing back the sword in his hand, he took a step back. Then with a good word exhaled, the muscles on his dark brown body began to rise and squirm disproportionately!
In just the blink of an eye, his body was twice as wide, almost half as tall as his height! The shoulders on both sides were already the size of two ordinary heads, and the arms holding the long sword had become thicker than the waist of a sturdy warrior!
But those silver pupils also met his eyes.
"Hmm!"
The sharp pain in his mind made the giant let out a roar of pain, and he took a few steps back, and there was a roar on the ground, and three deep marks were trampled on, and large clouds of dust were scattered in all directions!
"Sure, there's some skill, Bruce, step aside. The young man didn't seem to be embarrassed at all, but laughed out loud, as if what happened in front of him was just a trivial matter: "I underestimated you...... Well, as a little compensation, I'll let you follow me. The bear cubs of the Bane family?"
"You have to remember, though. After a pause, his voice had become a little cold: "The Crimson Knights have been reorganized, and they are beginning to emerge on the front line of Tumenis, and although the reputation of the Death Legion is not obvious, it is only a matter of time...... There are only seven powers left in this labyrinth, so I don't want anyone to be able to steal more of the power that belongs to me from it. ”
After a brief remark, he nodded to Edward, then turned around and walked into the waves with the woman beside him who had been silent. At the same time, Dahan's body also contracted suddenly, turned away, and followed his footsteps almost exactly.
"Hey, after making a move on someone, you just didn't say a word, ran away with your tail between your legs, and left your back to others, we won't be polite to you!"
Miss Lisa shook her fist angrily and shouted.
This voice made the old man who walked at the end turn his head:
"I might as well give you a word of advice, imps," he said, "this portal will send a lineage inheritor and their attendants to a corner of Pan's labyrinth, and if they meet again, it may only be in the place where one of the forces inherits." If only you could survive in that half-plane. ”
"Hmph, what advice, run away, run away, pretend to be proud......"
"They're not running away, they just don't want to waste too much effort......"
Edward shook his head slightly. Whispered.
Just this one. He burst out to the limit of the psionic energy he could activate, consuming almost one-sixth of his psychic power—the powerful explosive power of psionic energy, even though his thoughts were imminent. Shadowless and invisible, but it was premised on a large amount of consumption, and with the power he had just emitted. It stands to reason that it would have been enough to knock out the opponent's brain-stirring pain. Woohoo lament...... Weaker opponents will even be killed!
But the other party just retreated.
Just the strength of that giant man's appearance can match his own group of people by himself...... Even if the pair of brothers and sisters who seemed to be brothers and sisters were just powerless beings, the strength of the old man who had been standing still with his head bowed and his face hidden under the peaked hat was just as extraordinary.
Even Edward's clumsy perception of the magic net could guess that he could at least touch the six rings of the magic net! Such a mage, even if he lacked combat experience, could still make the psychic warlock overstretched. If there was a real fight, Edward could only try his best to buy Miss Lisa time to prepare for teleportation, but the best result was probably the escape of the wolf Bèi from this place.
It's a lot of difficulties.
But there's no going back, is there?
He looked up at the old man's vanishing figure, and then walked forward,
......
Behind the portal, it was pitch black.
In the dark. It is a wide passage.
A dozen soldiers lit torches, but the flames crackled. The less bright light could only cover an area of less than 60 feet, and farther away, dim and indistinct shadows. The unsteady light stretched forward in the wide passage, and the shadows of the group were stretched out by the firelight, reflecting on the uneven walls like monsters with fangs and claws.
Edward's eyes flickered, and just after he had just started, not far in front of him, there were some swarthy shadows creeping around the corner of the passage......
It was an unlucky predecessor, a long period of weathering had turned a corpse into a mutilated skeleton, but at this moment, there was a glitter of light in the middle of the skeleton!
It was a very beautiful piece of jewelry, with dozens of pearls strung in gold and shimmering...... There is also a water sapphire at least the size of a pigeon's egg.
However, Edward's first reaction was not to reach out, but to stop.
Such a clean bone rod has a white color...... And the wrinkled necklace......
A moment's hesitation was enough for one of the soldiers behind him to get a head start, and he happily tried to hand over the discovery to his master...... But the moment he grasped the necklace in his hand, his body stiffened...... With a numb and stiff movement, slowly wrap the necklace around the neck.
Then there was a low roar of pain, and the necklace tightened violently! The poor fellow reached out in a panic and pulled it, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not pull the slender object apart, or even tear it apart!
"Cursed Items!"
The mage's weak, cold voice came from not far away, and Lisa raised her hand to gather a white light...... But the poor fellow was clearly hopeless—almost as soon as the white light arrived, his already thick neck snapped—the necklace had snapped deep into his flesh and bones, and turned them into bloody shards!
The remaining mercenaries suddenly looked at each other, and saw a look of fear on their faces.
"Restrain me, this is not your training ground! one wrong step is enough to make you die without a place to bury!" the young count gritted his teeth, and commanded hatefully: his voice went down the passage, mixing with the echoes into a series of distorted sounds, which made most of them feel a stirring again.
Of course, this is just a small episode.
Behind the hallway was a large hall, which was also pitch black.
It's just that, in Edward's eyes, there is not much difference between darkness and light.
It's a pretty hall, at least when it was built, as it should have been – though now it's dusty inside, and cobwebs hang from the corners......
The hall was somewhat empty, leaning against the wall, and there were rows of bookshelves, but some had collapsed due to decay, and the parchment scrolls, which looked precious, were scattered all over the floor...... In the gap around it, there are more than a dozen statues, as decoration, and it can be seen from the finely carved relief texture that it once had a period of glory.
It's just that although the statue is exquisite, it is very strange - in a certain way, the kind of statue with two membrane wings and as hideous as a demon should stay on the drain of a skyscraper, which is the most appropriate for the occasion.
All right......
"Golem!" Edward shouted in a low voice. But at the same moment, the eyes of the statues had already flashed a strange red light, and they came to life and then quacked and spread their wings, and flew towards the ceiling of the hall.
And Elena's movements were quite fast, with a soft choking sound, the half-sword in her hand had already drawn a bright arc, and swept through the body of a stone elephant that was about to fly, and the stone gorom sent out a horn like rubbing stones, and two electric lights burst out from her eyes, and then together with her own stone base, there was a soft clicking sound, and countless cracks and spider webs unfolded, finally turning it into a fine piece of stone!
But there were still more monsters that flapped their wings and circled the ceiling before swooping down on everyone with a loud coo, while others jumped off their bases and made a low bark like rubbing stones, hiding themselves in the darkness (to be continued......
