Chapter 61: The Promise Before Sleep [IX.]
Hearing Xuelu's exclamation, everyone who had been looking around gathered around, only to see a jewel the size of a pigeon's egg shining with a dazzling golden light lying quietly in Xuelu's palm. "I didn't expect your luck to be so good!" August said with a happy smile, and then Coria and the two captains who came in later showed envy when they saw the Spirit of the Holy Spirit.
Legend has it that almost every living being has regrets when their lives are gone, and when the deceased is obsessed with it, under certain circumstances and conditions, the necromancer is born. And the soul of the Holy Spirit is the crystallization of the mind system formed by the desire formed by the obsession of the necromancer through various exorcism spells, which is very similar to the dark demonic crystal in Cohen's hand. However, the soul of the Holy Spirit has a very special place, if the holder leaves a will for the dead soul, then the power contained in the soul of the Holy Spirit can be used as the holder's own strength.
However, the conditions for the formation of the spirits of the Holy Spirit are extremely harsh, firstly, the number of necromancy, secondly, their wishes should preferably be common, and the last is that the caster must be in a relatively static environment when surpassing the necromancy. It is not difficult to destroy the necromancy, the difficult thing is how to get the ascended souls to gather together again to form the soul of the Holy Spirit after the transcendence. The time and place were favorable, and in this enclosed space, when Xue Lu released the Divine Word Blessing Technique, all the conditions were met.
Cohen walked to Xuelu's side, took the Holy Spirit Soul from Xuelu's hand and looked at it seriously, and said: "Here are one hundred and thirty-three necromantic wishes, if you can fulfill their wishes one by one, break the seal of this Holy Spirit Soul, and take some time to pass the Holy See's Holy Word Baptism Ceremony, Xuelu's strength will definitely surpass the high-level auxiliary priest and be directly promoted to the super-level auxiliary priest." ”
After hearing this, Xuelu smiled bitterly and said: "One hundred and thirty-three wishes, which consume time and energy, I hope I can consume energy." "Apparently not taking it seriously.
"Drop stone wear, take your time, naturally there is a day to complete, after all, this is your own opportunity. Cohen naturally understood the meaning contained in Xuelu's tone, and did not say much, and smiled and put the Holy Spirit Soul back in Xuelu's hand.
After several other people heard that Xuelu had the opportunity to become a super-level auxiliary priest, they all made up their minds that they must have a good relationship with Xuelu in the future, in the Noah continent, the power behind a super-level auxiliary priest is absolutely devastating, and a gesture can make a country full of bones.
"Okay, I'll talk about it later, I don't think anyone wants to stay in this hellish place for a second longer. Cohen took out the high-purity flame clesia crystal and the dark demonic crystal, walked to the stone arch, and gently swept the rough surface of the stone door with his hand, and after a while, two oval-shaped slots gradually appeared in front of everyone's eyes. "Slightly away from the stone gate, the space around you is not very stable when the circle is triggered, lest you be chopped by the spatial turbulence. Cohen carefully embedded the two crystals into the slot, looked at the people around him, and smiled helplessly.
Everyone hurriedly dispersed around the arch, and after confirming that everyone would not be affected by the spatial turbulence scattered by the stone arch, Cohen slowly pulled out the blade of light redemption and plunged into a small crack on the surface, and a piercing metal roar actually came up from the ground, and the whole rock seemed to be slowly pulled and rotated by an invisible force.
The next moment, countless extremely jerky magic runes loomed on the stone arch, and at the same time, the two crystals gradually lit up with a soft light, a stream of fire elements as bright as blood and a dark telekinesis as black as ink moved rapidly through the dense rune carvings on the arch, and in a hollow layered magic circle at the top of the huge stone arch, an incredible spectacle was presented, only to see the fire element and telekinesis slowly moving towards the arc fused with each other here, and each wisp of bright red fire element was mixed with a trace of dark telekinesis that was pitch black and shiny, when the most empty space in the stacked array was filled with the fused fluid, the entire stone arch slowly seeped out a grain of silver-white light.
And as the two crystals erupted with more and more brilliant light, the movement speed of the elemental flow and the telekinetic flow in the rune inscription increased dramatically, and the silvery-white light that seeped out from the stone arch spread layer after layer in the wide door frame of the stone door like a sharp spray of mist at the back.
Suddenly, a soft and grassy air suddenly blew out from inside the door, although the layers of mist blocked everyone's eyes, but the long-lost fragrant smell made everyone's spirits lifted. Duke jumped up and cheered, "Thank the gods for the protection!
"Cohen, can we get out of here?" the crowd walked up to Cohen excitedly, greedily inhaling the fresh air blowing through the door. As the light spots seeping out on both sides of the stone arch became less and less, a hazy scene of forest and meadow inside the door gradually appeared in everyone's sight.
Cohen shook his head and said, "It's going to take a while, now the connection entrance between the pseudo-space and the outside world is extremely unstable, and if you rush out, you may end up in a different place, wait a few more minutes." After speaking, he was engrossed in observing the changes in the stone arch.
After receiving Cohen's reply, everyone happily gathered around a rock not far away and whispered some memories of this underground trip, and after seeing the scenery inside the stone arch, everyone's originally anxious hearts finally calmed down at this moment, and as long as they waited a little longer, they could return to that familiar environment.
However, while everyone was happily talking about various anecdotes along the way, a cruel smile appeared on the corner of Cohen's mouth, and his right hand gripping the hilt of the sword slowly loosened, and a dark green light disappeared into the air in an instant, without a trace.
"Memory deprivation!"
For a certain reason, Cohen still selectively erased everyone's memories of the underground cave, after all, some of the information in it will cause an uproar in the entire Noah continent, and the other problems are not big, mainly the dark nebula, if she accidentally breaks through the seal and descends on the Noah continent, there will no longer be a creature that can breathe in the entire continent. Of course, some memories that would help them would still be retained, such as the effect of the high-purity flame clesia crystallization on the two regiment commanders and Auguste, which they had already promised them, so they naturally had to do what they said.
In fact, Cohen is still entangled in his heart about whether to erase Xuelu's relevant memories, but after thinking about it, Cohen decided not to erase any memories of Xuelu, after all, Cohen's body also needs a guide, otherwise the five-year covenant will only be waiting for death. After making up his mind, Cohen glanced at everyone apologetically and shouted, "Okay, the pseudo-space has stabilized, you guys hurry up." With that, he drew his light and stood beside the arch and looked thoughtfully at Xuelu.
After a while, everyone gathered around the stone arch, only to see a silver-white light curtain flickering in the door frame, and the originally hazy scene finally came into view clearly. The weather was overcast and cloudy, the remains of a defensive tower were clearly visible, countless trees had been uprooted, and the entire forest was in shambles.
"Why is this so familiar?" said Duke, who looked at it for a while.
Cohen patted Duke on the shoulder and smiled, "Of course it looks familiar, the wreckage of that defensive arrow tower is on the high hillside outside the Gold Digger Station, and the node after we break out of the pseudo-space will be near the Gold Digger Station in a moment." ”
"Thank you, gods, this is the best news I've heard today, there isn't one!" said the happy Da Lang laughed.
"Okay, in a while, August, you take Captain Duke, Coria takes Captain Dylan, and I bring Xuelu, it will be a little bumpy on the pseudo-space passage, wait for me in the same place after you get out. Cohen waved at August, signaling that he could enter the passage with Duke.
August hesitantly glanced at the rock arch, turned around and put his arm on Duke's shoulder, and said with a smile, "Let's go, Captain, let's go home." After speaking, he ignored Duke's slightly suspicious eyes, and walked straight towards the light curtain. With a flash of light, Auguste's figure disappeared from everyone's sight. Duke hesitated for a long time, roared to embolden himself, and crashed directly into the light curtain without a trace, regardless of the three-seven-twenty-one.
Cohen glanced at Coria and Dylan and smiled, "Don't worry, I won't sell you." Coria nodded, put her arm around Dylan's fat shoulders, and strode into the light curtain.
At this time, Cohen and Xuelu were left around, and Xuelu glanced at Cohen and said quietly, "Now you can give me an answer, right?" I've been waiting for a long time. ”
Cohen scratched his head with a wry smile, sorted out his thoughts a little, and said: "Okay, since I promised you, I will naturally tell you the truth of the matter, but correspondingly, you must promise me one thing, this matter will be beneficial to you and Cohen." ”
Xuelu nodded and smiled, "I know this, I promise you." ”
"Then what do you want to know?" Cohen took out a bag of wine from the ring, found a random place to sit down, looked at Xuelu, and continued, "There is still plenty of time, and I have something to tell you. ”
"Who are you, why do you have such strong strength. ”
"Aggressive little girl, can't you be tactful?" Cohen took a sip of wine, took out another piece of meat and chewed it happily. After a long silence, he said, "My name is the Tree of the World Realm, and it is a wisp of consciousness that exists with the help of the blade of redemption of light, and it can be regarded as half a machine spirit. Can you understand that?"
Xue Lu was stunned and exclaimed: "The Tree of the World Realm, the Elven Mother Tree that was cut down by the God King in the Age of the Gods, is said to be the mother of all plants in the entire Arad Continent. Cohen nodded, agreeing with Xuelu's statement.
"What did you choose Cohen for?"
"The choice of him was just a coincidence, it just so happened that the current elven patriarch handed him the blade of light redemption in the seal, in order to ensure that he had the ability to complete the mission. Cohen said slowly, a pair of clear eyes looking at Xuelu seriously.
Xuelu sighed heavily and said, "Okay, so I can understand why you suddenly became so powerful." So what is your purpose?"
"Let the tree of the world be reborn, the elves once brought back the oracle in the space of the gods, there will be aliens to save the tree of the world and let her sprout and be reborn, I have a hunch that the key person who made me reborn will appear in the space of the gods this time. So, I sealed a wisp of my consciousness in the blade of light redemption and used Cohen to find this man. Cohen took another sip of the wine, but his mood was a little low.
Xuelu breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Okay, I believe everything you said, I didn't expect to be able to meet the legendary Tree of the World Realm under such circumstances, should I be glad?"
Cohen shook his head and said, "Then you need to remember what I said, this is about Cohen and your fate, and besides, I want you to keep it a secret for me, including what you have seen and heard in this underground cave, including Cohen himself, can you do it?"
"But August, they've seen it too!" Xuelu seemed to think of something, and said in a lost voice, "You're not going to kill them, are you?"
"Don't worry, I'm just erasing some of their memories, I don't like killing. Cohen said with a grin as he looked at Xuelu.
Xuelu hesitated for a moment, walked up to Cohen, and said, "What else do you want me to do?"
Cohen glanced at Xuelu and said solemnly: "Two things, you must always be by Cohen's side for five years, be his guide, and I will imprint some relevant information into your soul." The second thing is that the Seed of Immortality must be auctioned at the Warrior Lion Crusader City auction. ”
