Chapter 8: The Shrine
Si Ruisi's hand tightly grasped the hilt of the sword, she knew Luo Mu very well, if it wasn't for some major changes, with Luo Mu's cold temperament, it would be difficult to show such a surprised expression, Si Ruisi looked at the man in front of him and asked, "What's wrong?"
Luo Mu seems to have not realized his identity for a long, long time, the dark spirit shrine, this is the beginning of everything, and it is also the foundation that makes Luo Mu so powerful now, the dark matter and soul power in the space are fused, forming an extremely weird and powerful unique soul power, this unique soul power is the premise of all Luo Mu's strength.
But Luo Mu seems to have forgotten his identity, because when Quinn completed the soul pattern on Luo Mu's body at the expense of himself, Luo Mu seemed to have lost the identity of the dark substance shrine, because Luo Mu could no longer annihilate the undead spirits, and even could no longer see them, and now this unique feeling made Luo Mu clear that he was still the dark spirit shrine of the Ninth Age, which was a fate that he could never escape.
It's not just his own reasons, Luo Mu has always been very curious about a question after entering Nogres, every era is called the end after the death of the six major shrines, and in almost every era, the shrines have played a pivotal role in the war against Lucifer, it can be said that every shrine is definitely a stunning existence, and it must have drawn a strong stroke in each era.
But whether it is in the discussion of ordinary soul masters, or in the records of Nogres, the name of the shrine seems to be just a symbol of the end of the era, and there are few records of it in history, and even in class, the teachers will only simply say that the death of the six major shrines represents the end of the era, which is an indisputable fact, but who are the names of the six great shrines, and what they have done, no one has ever mentioned them, and the teachers seem to be secretive about them.
This has led to many students not having a three-dimensional understanding of the shrine at all, and even some students who are not good at class will think that the shrine is an object or something, and they don't know that it is a living person.
However, Luo Mu knew very well that all the Great Imperial Soul Masters were very aware of the existence of the shrine, but people like the shrine seemed to have some kind of taboo, which made everyone selectively ignore them, although they were once extremely powerful, and they had allowed the world to survive several times, so that the era ended.
Perhaps the appearance of the shrine represents the precursor of the Anpoch War, the shrine seems to be born a cursed person, their appearance will bring destruction and war, and until now no one can be sure that the shrine must be on the side of the human race, just like the Eighth Age, as a shrine, Quinn led the demon army to almost destroy most of the world, although the precipice was reined in, but it is still terrifying, not only that, there have been more or less wars caused by the shrine in the past eras, and the shrines are often not harmonious.
No one can guarantee that the appearance of the shrine will definitely defeat Hell, and in each era, the human legion and countless martyrs who have died have certainly played a decisive role, so people believe more in the power in their own hands.
There are too many mysteries on the body of the shrine, no one knows why they were born, and even their abilities are extremely strange and different, the deeds of the shrine are often difficult to distinguish between good and evil, plus their appearance represents the prologue to the beginning of the Epoch War, so the great soul masters have chosen to keep silent about the shrine, so that people don't rely on them too much, or cause unnecessary panic.
Luo Mu looked at the man in front of him, his mind was full of thoughts, this was the first shrine he had seen besides Miao Yun, Miao Yun's ability was almost completely sealed because of the Halix Church, which caused Luo Mu to have no special feelings when he saw Miao Yun, but now the unique fluctuations on the man in front of him are like the only candle flame in the dark night, so Luo Mu can't notice it without noticing.
Luo Mu shook his head slightly at Siris, but Sirith still didn't let go of the hilt of the sword, although Luo Mu meant that it was okay, but Sirius could sense a trace of potential danger from the man in front of him, which was an intuition.
The man didn't seem to pay attention to the two people behind him at all, all his mind was already immersed in the slot machine in front of him, it was obvious that he had been sitting here for a long time, there was a circle of cigarette butts scattered on the ground, and even the waiter had swept it a few times but there were still a lot of remnants, and there were some strange things hanging on the slot machine in front of the man, there were strange black dreamcatchers, there was a silver figurine, and even the leg bone of an air-dried unknown creature was placed on one side.
The man clasped his hands together and said "Lady Luck! Lady Luck...", while chattering, he did not hesitate to pull the lever on the slot machine directly, the screen of the slot machine jumped wildly, but at this moment the man's expression seemed to calm down, his eyes reflected the beating screen, the frequency of the screen flickering slowly decreased, and then slowly froze on three completely different numbers.
This means that the man didn't know how much money he had invested just now was all lost!
The man was completely still, and even his eyes stopped blinking, quietly looking at the slot machine screen in front of him, it seemed that even his mind was numb, Luo Mu suddenly felt a little worried, he seemed to see a storm condensed on the man, he could feel the vigorous anger on the man's body, he was suddenly a little afraid that the man would suddenly make trouble and dismantle the casino!
The man stood up suddenly, frantically shook his body without warning, his fingers curled, his eyes seemed to be about to stare out of his sockets, he silently howled at the ceiling of the casino, but the people around him seemed to have been surprised, completely ignoring him, the man's crazy posture lasted for five minutes before stopping, and then Luo Mu actually saw a puff of black smoke coming out of the man's ears.
Luo Mu was stunned for a moment, is this the legendary smoke? Luo Mu couldn't even believe his eyes, could smoke come out of normal human ears?
However, Luo Mu also thought of a possibility, and the one in front of him was very likely to be the Flame Shrine.
The man held the slot machine with both hands and gasped for breath, as if the madness of that moment just now had consumed a huge amount of physical strength, and then the man seemed to finally feel something, and slowly turned his head.
Luo Mu finally saw the man's face, the man's face was a little pale at the moment, but it was still difficult to hide his handsome face under his golden hair, and the stubble that had not been taken care of for a few days made the man more mature and charming, but when the man turned his head, no one would notice his face, but would see the pair of red pupils.
The man's eyes seemed to have a hidden flame, beating with his pupils.
Luo Mu looked at the man calmly, and the man didn't turn around, the two were obviously meeting for the first time, but they had a strange feeling about each other, they should have known each other for a long time.
The man looked at Luo Mu quietly for a moment, then turned around, and with a wave of his hand, he put all the things on the slot machine into the space horcrux, it was obvious that this was a soul master, Luo Mu could faintly perceive that his rank was definitely higher than Luo Mu, although Luo Mu didn't know if his soul power was the same mutation as him, but Luo Mu knew very well that if the other party was bent on leaving, Luo Mu would not be able to keep him at all.
The man walked in front of Luo Mu, his red pupils looked straight at Luo Mu, sitting there with his clothes open, but the man who stood up was very slender, faintly half a head taller than Luo Mu, just like Luo Mu knew who the man was, and the man also knew who Luo Mu was.
The man looked at Luo Mu and said, "I don't want to bear any fate that doesn't belong to me" The man's eyes were solid and serious, Luo Mu's expression was still calm, now this situation Luo Mu had already expected, and he didn't have any intention of closing the six spirit shrines, and he also understood the man's thoughts, after all, what game to save the world did not belong to them for a long time.
Luo Mu nodded slightly, didn't say anything, he and the man met by chance here, Luo Mu didn't expect to meet another shrine here, the whole world is so big, the six shrines are just a drop in the ocean, and Luo Mu himself hasn't figured out how to face his identity.
The man looked at Luo Mu's appearance, frowned slightly, and said, "I don't know how you found me, but I warn you, don't follow me anymore"
Luo Mu sighed in his heart, now even if he explains anything, it doesn't make much sense, after the man finished speaking, he strode forward, and Luo Mu's voice came from behind the man at this moment, "At least leave a name?"
The man's figure paused, hesitated for a moment, and then tilted his head slightly to look at Luo Mu, and then said, "Austin"
Luo Mu looked at Austin, and when he returned to "Luo Mu" Austin did not react, he strode straight forward without looking back.
As soon as Austin left, Cyris asked curiously, "Master, who is he?" Luo Mu shook his head, he didn't know how to explain this matter to Cyreth, now there are very few people in the world who know that Luo Mu is a dark spirit shrine, Austin should only know that Luo Mu is a spirit shrine, but he doesn't know the specific attributes.
Luo Mu thought for a while and said, "It should be regarded as a friend who has never met" Ciris was stunned, what kind of friend is this, is this the legendary god in the past?
Ciris nodded as if he didn't understand, Luo Mu didn't explain too much, and took Ciris through the lobby of the casino, the two would occasionally place a few bets on the gambling table at will, winning or losing mixed, but Luo Mu didn't care, he had been listening intently to the content of the exchanges between the people around him, and at this moment the powerful embodiment of the wind system soul power was vividly embodied, under Luo Mu's deliberate control, he could hear the words of everyone within a radius of more than ten meters.
But after all, there are many people in the casino, although Luo Mu heard a lot of people talking about the theft of babies, but there is no valuable information, Luo Mu secretly thought that he should go to the bar or other places to inquire, as far as he knows, intelligence is also one of the transactions of major underground organizations, and even some special hunter guilds specialize in selling intelligence.
There is no effective information in the casino, and Luo Mu doesn't plan to stay longer, because the dealers and waiters here are indeed dressed very "cool" Although Luo Mu is not interested, but occasionally when his eyes cross, Ciris 's face will become a little not very beautiful, Luo Mu also wants to go back quickly, Sean naturally doesn't know how long to play, and Sean explained that he didn't have to wait for him when he was on the way, but just when Luo Mu was about to leave, there was a sudden explosion somewhere in the casino, and then an angry roar came
"You're out of the woods!"
