Chapter 117: Flower Tea and the Chess Game
"Lord Arthur, what will happen to Joshua if he gets hit by the mechanism on the first floor?" asked Geraint, not without concern.
"The consequences? I should be in a state of suspended animation, and it's hard to say when I will wake up. In short, it won't kill him. Arthur laughed, "You might have to wait here for years, why don't we have something to drink?"
"Didn't you say that even if you don't eat or drink here, you're fine?"
"But isn't this life too boring?" said Arthur's incantation, and two silver wine glasses flew from a distance, "It's a pity that there is no good wine here, but you can taste the flower tea unique to the divine realm." ”
"Flower tea of the Divine Realm?" Gerant's eyes rolled, "Sounds like something amazing, I can give it a try." ”
"Haha, drinking the flower tea here will make you feel very comfortable and forget a lot of troubles. Arthur handed a wine glass to Gerant.
"This plant is really rare on the continent of Gaia. Geraint spotted some dried petals at the bottom of the glass. The petals have a burgundy color and a very strange shape, like a pair of angel wings and exude a refreshing floral fragrance, "Even if it is dried, it still exudes a faint fragrance." ”
"These are the petals of the angelic tree in the divine realm, and when I was sent here to be the guide of the temple, I specifically asked the gods to give me these petals. Arthur laughed, "Even though I'm like a ghost now, I'm still intoxicated by this strange flower tea." ”
"But there's no water here, how do we soak the petals?" said Geraint, looking around.
"Don't be in a hurry, Knight Geraint. Didn't I tell you before that the air here is filled with magical nectar?" Arthur chanted a spell, and a golden light circled around the wine glass and then dissipated, and the wine glass was suddenly filled with dew, "This flower tea does not need to be brewed with hot water, it can be re-moisturized with the nectar in the air, you can taste it and see how it tastes." ”
Geraint sniffed the faint fragrance of the divine flower tea in the wine glass, and then took a sip gently. The nectar with the scent of flowers flowed from her mouth to her throat, and Geraint instantly felt the fragrance on her teeth and cheeks, and there was a refreshing feeling. And the dark magic that had plagued him for years seemed to have subdued a lot in him. "It's a product of the divine realm, and I don't know if it has no healing effect on the injuries in my body. Geraint muttered to herself.
"Knight Geraint, I can sense that there is a powerful dark magic in your body that is affecting you and has been suppressing the growth of your fighting spirit. Arthur took a gentle sip of the flower tea and said, "After you drank the flower tea of the divine realm just now, the dark aura was affected by the petals of the angel tree and caused restlessness. ”
"Lord Arthur, can this divine flower tea help me eliminate the influence of dark magic?" asked Gerante seriously, "My injuries have not been able to heal over the years, and the level of fighting spirit can only be maintained at the level of the Silver Knight, and it will be difficult for me to protect Joshua if I encounter a strong enemy." ”
"It's a pity, Knight Geraint!" Arthur shook his head, "The divinity of this angel tree petal can only help you suppress the side effects of dark magic, and it is impossible to completely remove it. But I have observed from you that the dark magic that haunts you has an earth element, and if you can find a powerful wind mage and bless the power of the Holy Light, you will be able to heal the wounds in your body. It's a pity that in this era when knights are in power, there are fewer and fewer powerful magicians, and it is even more difficult to find wind magicians. ”
"Wind, is it true that only Lord Anemo can help me?" said Geraint, frowning.
"What is the identity of that kid named Joshua, can you sue me?" Arthur asked suddenly, "As a descendant of the Last of Light, he must have an extraordinary origin. ”
"Lord Aser will not tell you that Joshua is the son of the Holy King Roy and the true heir of the kingdom of Reims. Geraint said firmly.
"Haha, my brother, Duke Davion, was the first lord of the province of Burning Fire when the Kingdom of Reims was founded. Arthur laughed, "He must have turned into a starlight and scattered into the wheel of years by now!"
"It seems that the goddess of light we believe in is real!" said Geraint.
"The heavenly realm has always existed, but even I was not so lucky to be able to witness the true face of the goddess of light. I've only seen images of the god of fire and the archangels of the gods. Arthur laughed, "Many of these angels are glorious descendants who once had a godhead in the human realm, and when their lives in the human realm are exhausted, they will be called into the divine realm by the gods. It's rare to see a lucky person like me. There has always been a legend of the Last Descendant of Light in the royal veins of the Kingdom of Reims, and it seems that Joshua's future is limitless, and I am now looking forward to his appearance in the Temple of Flames more and more. ”
Geraint's eyes turned to the inner layer of the temple, and Joshua was on the first floor to meet the challenges of various mechanisms.
......Joshua smashed the "hammer" into the "long sword", and the "long sword" was instantly broken by the side attack of the "hammer" and fell to the ground. But the good times were short-lived, and soon the two shields swirled towards him again. Joshua was so frightened that he quickly crouched on the ground to dodge. The shield spun back and forth in space twice as if it had eyes, and then began to dive down in the air.
"Hey, here's your chance!" Joshua quickly stood up, and jumped onto one shield as he approached. Joshua stepped on the shield with both feet, but the shield spun violently and moved him around. Joshua felt the world spin around. "Uncle Geraint taught me how to use vindictive energy to stabilize my body. Joshua hurriedly gathered his fighting spirit to the soles of his feet, although the shield was still spinning, but the soles of Joshua's feet seemed to produce a holy light to firmly fix his body, and the rotating shield and the holy light on the soles of his feet were splashed with sparks due to friction, and Joshua flew in the air as if he was stepping on a frisbee.
"It's over!" Joshua slammed his sword behind his back, striking it at the center of another shield as it flew in. "Poof!" Joshua's sword pierced the center of the shield, and the entire shield began to crack from the center to the periphery and fell to the ground. Joshua stepped on the ground again, and another shield turned around and struck Joshua. This time, however, Joshua did not repeat the same trick, but leaned his whole body back and raised his sword to pierce the shield from the bottom up. The hardness of the sword coupled with the powerful fighting spirit, Joshua's domineering stab directly caused the shield to stop in mid-air and shatter in an instant.
"Oops, I'm so tired!" Joshua touched his forehead, sweat soaking through.
"Knight Geraint, in fact, you may have to stay here for several years, why don't we kill time in the next game of chess?" Arthur suddenly said, "You should have played the most popular war chess in the Gaia continent!" I saw him take Geraint to a stone table, and gently stroked it with his hand, and the pattern of the chessboard was reflected on the stone table, on which were placed chess pieces of various shapes. The chessboard is a square consisting of 64 small squares arranged in a staggered manner of eight horizontal and vertical squares, one dark and one light. The dark squares are close to black, and the light squares are close to beige, and the pieces are placed in these squares to move, a total of thirty-two, divided into two groups of black and white, sixteen each, and one set by each side of the game.
"When I was a kid, I used to play this game of war chess at the knight's academy, with chariots on either side, knights and bishops next, and kings and queens in the center. Geraint gestured on the board.
"Then let's have a good fight, and by the way, we can kill a little time. Asser's face smiled, "In this place, once you get into a battle or think about it, time will pass very quickly, a game of chess can sometimes go for a whole year, hmph!
"Thanks, then you're welcome, Lord Arthur!" Geraint flicked a chess piece and walked forward two squares, a "soldier" in front of the "Bishop".
"Hehe, the beginning of the Holy Light Enchantment, it seems that Knight Geraint, you are also a very cautious person. Arthur flicked a "soldier" in front of the "king" and walked forward two squares, "Then I'll use the king's bureau to ask for advice......"
