Volume 1 Aquaman's Sigh Chapter 29 [Ice Wings] Gathering (II)
"My mother and I ......" Wren lowered his head, his thoughtful gaze shrouded in the deep shadow of his brow bones, his eyes pitch black in the dim light, "will threaten...... Holy Religion?"
"What the Holy Church has done in the past hundred years has long deviated from its purpose and mission. Aisen looked at the pensive Wren, and there was a faint regret in his handsome eyebrows, "No matter what the purpose of the Holy Religion is, I deeply regret your mother, Su Anli, Mars, as well as the old soldier of Bogul and the innocent people of Kovitan, according to the practice of the Holy Religion, they will undoubtedly be charged with blasphemy, but the deceased is gone, all we can do is to find out the truth of the matter, and may their souls in heaven rest in peace." ”
"I still don't understand......" Wren suddenly raised his head, staring at Eisen with blazing eyes, his clear eyes flashing with vigilance and doubt, "Why are you helping me?"
"Because ......," Ethan said calmly as he met Wren's gaze without evasion, "I, like you, want to know the truth of the matter, and the [Viper] legion to which we belong is also eager to understand the purpose of the Holy Cult. I can bring you to the truth, and you can take me to the truth...... If I say that, you should be able to understand, right?"
Wren and Eisen were still staring at each other quietly, but the strange atmosphere in the carriage gradually relaxed in silence, and Wren slowly turned his head, his face calm again, and there was no trace of mood swings.
"In addition, you are also one of the most gifted of all the people I have met, in terms of soul power alone, your purity has far surpassed that of magicians of the same age, and the element you control is extremely rare and powerful, this rare element is called [Thor's Gift] by magicians. It's a pity that you don't know how to control it yet......" Eisen's deep voice was unhurried, revealing a faint temptation, "We can teach you to better control your soul power and your element, so you may need us more than me, whether it is to seek the truth or revenge, you need strength, your own ability, and enough power to compete with the Holy Cult." ”
"Perhaps......" Wren leaned quietly against the window of the carriage, his eyes fell on the mountains in the distance, the rolling ridgeline was deeply hidden behind the majestic rain curtain, in fact, Wren's pupils showed the chaos of heaven and earth, the thick darkness that could not be dissolved. The powerless sense of failure, remorse, and self-blame in the darkness gradually came flooding in, and the unbearable past came to mind one by one......
No one spoke in the cramped carriage, except for the sound of rain and the clatter of horses' hooves galloping on the rocky pavement outside the window, echoing on the empty official road, and the outline of the town could be faintly seen in the darkness in front of the carriage, and a little flickering fire drifted back and forth in the rain, snow and storm......
"New companion?" In the dilapidated room of the inn, in the flickering and colorful firelight, the expressions of Jenora and the others were almost all surprise and surprise, and the last time the same words appeared in Eisen's mouth was ten years ago.
"Yes, Wren Claude!" Eisen's cold and uninhibited face looked extremely calm in the pale orange soft light, and he didn't seem to notice the strange stares cast around him, "In the future, he will be the seventh member of [Ice Wing], you must get along well, and for the new members, you old-timers will naturally take care of them." ”
"Newcomer...... "Beges was lying on the couch on one side very casually, he tilted his head, squinted his eyes slightly, and looked at the boy Eisen brought back with a fluctuating gaze, "The captain is late to bring him back, right?"
"Well, something went wrong on the way here, and there was a delay for a while......" Eisen's calm gaze fell on Beges, his low, magnetic voice sounding like polished sandstone, and it sounded a chill, "But, if I didn't miscalculate, I don't think I'm late, right?"
"Well, according to my calculations, the captain arrived at the post station at least a full minute ahead of the agreed time. Arya looked carefully at the silver pocket watch that was lying in the palm of her hand for some time, and then replied to Bergis with a blank face, "Strictly speaking, neither the captain nor I was late. ”
"So......" Beges frowned slightly, the corners of his thin mouth slightly raised, and a vague smile smeared, "Leaving behind this newcomer that our lovely subordinates have brought back in the past few days, at least give us a reason to accept him, right?"
"Reason?" Eisen's long narrow eyes suddenly flashed with a cold cold light, "I'm the captain, I have the right to decide who to let into our team, is that a reason?"
"No, no, this reason is too perfunctory!" Veggis was undaunted by the oncoming chill, but on the contrary, his cold laughter mixed with malicious banter became more and more obvious, "Don't forget, we will be the strongest army in Oslan, this is what you said, captain." So, even if it was brought back by the captain...... Rubbish, I Bergis won't approve of him!"
As soon as the words fell, Beges's agile figure had bounced up from the sofa, his long and strong body outlined a blurry golden halo in the firelight, he smiled and looked at Wren who was motionless not far away, while walking towards Wren without hurry, while stretching the joints of his body, a series of crackling bones echoed in the room, followed by a terrifying wave of hostility.
"Next, prove it .......to me," Beges stood arrogantly in front of Wren, his cold eyes full of disdain, "you...... It's not rubbish!"
Wren quietly raised his head and quietly stared at the tall young man in front of him, the dazzling fiery red hair stood upside down on the top of his head, looking like a solidified flame, under the flame was a handsome face that gradually became fanatical, and his disdainful eyes were full of inexplicable provocation. What followed was a violent soul power that swelled instantly, like a stormy wave that suddenly formed in the room, rolling and roaring wantonly in the small space, and the center of the soul power surge was Bergis who gradually assumed an offensive posture.
Under the pressure of the oncoming violent soul power, Wren had to shrink his pupils slightly, a little chill precipitated under his eyes, and the soul power flowing in the hundreds of limbs suddenly accelerated, and exploded from his body, forming a circle of transparent ripples that vibrated and spread, and the faint thunder mang beat and flickered uneasily around him.
The air became extremely viscous because of the vain surge of two soul powers, and the small room was as heavy and oppressive as if it had been stuffed into thousands of tons of seawater, and the storm formed by the surging soul power flowing everywhere roared irregularly, the sound became more and more intense, and the frequency became faster and faster, as if it was an ancient beast desperate to break free from the layers of confinement.
"Very well, you want to prove yourself too, right?" Beges roared in ecstasy as he felt the other party's vain surging hostility and soul power, "Come on, come on, fight me with all your might!
"This feeling is ......" Angela, who was standing in the raging storm at this moment, frowned deeply, and her pupils that reflected Wren's slender figure trembled slightly, looking like she was gradually frightened by the danger of a secret that she shouldn't know.
"This is not going to work!" Arya's crisp voice like a silver bell came suddenly, interrupting Angela's thoughts and causing the swelling storm to gradually subside, and her graceful figure had quietly fallen between the two of them at some point, with her usual elegant and charming smile on her face. Wren was seriously injured in Covetan, and although he had already been treated by a healing mage on the way here, he was not yet suitable for a fierce battle. ”
"And, in terms of Wren's soul power alone, I think Angela should be very clear, right?" Arya smiled and fell her gaze on Angela, who was terrified behind her, "Based on your perception of soul power, you should know very well whether Wren is the so-called garbage in Beges's mouth?"
"Well, well, the soul power in Wren's senpai's body...... It's the biggest and deepest I've ever seen...... And......" Angela's expression at this time engraved the shock of her heart on her face without reservation, and her voice was staccato because of the horror in her heart, "Moreover, the elemental that is restless with his soul power ......"
"That's the end of the welcome party!" Eisen's broad palm quietly landed on Beges's shoulder, and his deep words interrupted Angela's doubts, or secrets, "There are more important tasks to be explained in the future, and this is also the purpose of our [Ice Wings]'s trip." ”
