Chapter 135: The Diamond Ring and the Bronze Serpent
The torches they had brought into the pit had been extinguished in the run, but the Lion's Snake Ring in Sether's hand had begun to glow like a star struggling to climb the canopy from the darkness of the night.
After a while, the brightness of the diamond ring began to increase, and the light of the lion's head was the most brilliant, as if there was a silver-white flame burning inside, more and more dazzling, and the focused light was in the shape of a cross, as if the world had returned to the state of complete harmony between heaven and earth and man in the place of creation, and the glory of the Creator poured out from the throne to the earth. The darkness then faded, and at last the cross-shaped light shimmered back and forth on Sether's fingers, turning into a circle of light in a wheel, and the holy white light illuminated them all around them.
Lolo looked at the diamond ring in Sether's hand in surprise, "It's incredible. You have a treasure on your hand, and if you know so, why should we light the torch?"
"It's the first time I've seen it shine so brightly today......" Sether stared at his hand as well, feeling as if he were dreaming, and the light spread from his fingers to his body, forcing back the darkness around him, and even the pain of poisoning seemed to lessen.
"Wouldn't you?
This is the ancestral ring of the VIA Kai royal family, which I have worn on my hand since I became the crown prince, and I have never noticed that it has such incredible powers. Not only me, but no one in the world knows its hidden power, whether it is those ancestors who died in ancient times or people today. Sether thought to himself.
He just shook his head, and Luo Luo could see that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't dare to ask any more.
"Your leg seems to be bleeding. She whispered timidly.
Sether took out the small bronze snake that Muki-wash had given him before he set off from his pocket, but Lolo let out a scream, and the whole person fell on him and shivered, almost knocking him off the high platform.
"What's going on?" asked Sether, gritting his teeth, his ankle aching at the moment.
"There's, there's a big fiery serpent...... Climbed over the stone wall......" Lolo shouted as he buried his face in his chest.
Sether raised his right hand and scanned the stone wall they were leaning on by the light of the ring, and he saw nothing but the pitted surface and the cracked cracks in the stone, not a snake, not even a gecko.
"You get out of the way. Sether hoarse.
"Why? I'm afraid!"
"If you don't get off me again, I promise I'll throw you into the bottomless pit with the last bit of strength I have before I die. β
Lolo shuddered and immediately let go of him. Sether lifted the hem of his trousers, and the four purple-black holes seemed to be getting bigger, and the black blood was still seeping out, but it was much less than before, but some kind of smooth substance seemed to grow out of the small hole where he had been stung, and his entire ankle had turned blue-black.
"What is this?" asked Lolo in a whisper as he stared at the small, smooth substance.
"It must not be a pleasant good thing. The pain of the piercing bone cut made it almost impossible for him to speak properly, but he still managed to calm down, and in the light of the white light of the diamond ring, he aimed the tip of the copper snake's tail at his ankle.
"What are you going to do? you're crazy!" she screamed, trying to stop Sether, only to be glared back by the latter's look.
As the sharp tail of the brass serpent pierced into the poisoned flesh, Sethor felt a fire burning, and the sharp pain and exhilarating burning sensation made him almost burst into tears. It was as if he had been cut into pieces of flesh by a knife and roasted on a charcoal fire, and he was both painful and joyful, and he was almost going crazy.
Lolo stared at him dumbfounded, and Seser mercilessly used the bronze snake to rip out the purple-black flesh, without even moving his head, as if it were not his own legs.
The flesh soaked in scorpion venom fell to the ground with a thud, emitting a faint smoke, and the small black and shiny thing inside desperately fled to the darkness of the crack in the wall, and finally the whole piece of flesh turned into black powder and disappeared.
Sether nearly sliced his ankle to bone, then tore off the cloth bag they had brought in and bandaged his fleshy wound tightly.
In the end, Luo Luo didn't dare to look at him at all, and simply covered his eyes with his hands. Until Sether breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay now." You can open your eyes. β
She looked out through her fingers in fear, and Sether's trouser legs were lowered, revealing the bandaged knots of cloth from within, and there was a joy on his face that she had never seen before, and she asked him tentatively, "You, you...... Doesn't it hurt?"
"Of course it hurts, and I'm not impregnable. In fact, it hurt so much that I almost cried my nose. β
"But you look happy......"
"It's a complicated feeling, it's like you're in love with a woman you can't get, obviously desperate and painful, but you're indulging in that kind of pain that can't help yourself. You know that you will never be satisfied by this woman, and no matter how much you ask for it, you will not be able to satisfy your hunger and thirst, but this dissatisfaction will make you obsessed, and you will want to go on like this for the rest of your life. β
Lolo stared at Sether silently for a few moments before whispering, "You really love her, Yesher." Does she love you?"
A dark cloud swept across Sether's forehead, and then he hid the expression deeply, "Of course she loves me. How could she not love me. β
"Did she say that?"
Of course she did. β
"But she doesn't want to be with you, does she?" said Lolo.
Sether's face became more ugly than ever, "It's between me and her - in fact, no one likes a woman who chacha cheche, understand?"
Lolo bit her lower lip, and for a moment Sether thought she was going to cry again, but she wrung her hands and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, I said the wrong thing." I just envy that woman very much. β
Sether didn't answer, and it took a while before he began, "There's nothing to envy. You're only fifteen years old, and you're bound to meet a lot of men who love you in the future. β
Luo Luo opened his mouth to say something, but he swallowed it back into his stomach and just nodded silently.
Both of them felt exhausted, especially Sesher, his face was no longer as purple and black as it had been at the beginning of the poisoning, but his face was as white as a shroud, and the whole person trembled involuntarily, and it was no wonder that anyone who sharpened his leg as hard as a pencil would become as pale and weak as him. But in the current desperate situation, there is only one way to do it.
They ate under the white light of the diamond ring, and the so-called rice was nothing more than bread wrapped in paper, but although the bread looked plain, not fragrant or sweet, and without butter, it had an indescribable fragrance, and it was full after a few bites. And the same is true of the water in the kettle, colorless and tasteless, neither cold nor hot, and a shallow sip can relieve the dryness and heat of the whole body.
Lolo also took out a beautiful golden flask from his pocket, which contained a turquoise spirit that Seser had never drunk before, and tasted with the freshness of grass, the fragrance of lilies, and the sweetness of figs, changing from the tip of his tongue to the base of his tongue, and then flowing hot into his cold stomach, making almost every pore of man dance.
"It's incredible, I've drunk almost all of Velogoza's good wines, but this is the first time I've drunk yours," Sether looked at the golden flask in admiration, his fingers caressing the rubies and amethysts set on it, and a circle of broken diamonds, the style is very special, "and these water and bread, you will know that they are different from ordinary ones when you eat them, is this also specially made in your dormition?"
"Of course, of course, the Rest Palace is located on the Holy Mountain of Corinlie, and we usually do not have contact with the world. Therefore, the food made is very simple and simple, but it is very hungry. Luo Luo hurriedly said, snatching the flask from Sether's hand, "Give it back to me, don't break my flask." β
Sether chewed the bread, looked at Luo Luo thoughtfully, and asked again for a long time, "How many people are there in the rest palace besides you?"
"Only twenty," Lolo whispered, hanging her long eyelashes away from Sether's eyes, "but I don't like them, and they don't like me. β
"Do little Lia and Albert belong to these twenty people?"
Lolo raised his eyes, surprised that Sether had taken to heart all the words she had uttered, "yes, that's right. The three of us are never separated, the rest want to pull us down, they are jealous of our friendship, but there is nothing they can do with us. β
"Pull it down?" Seiser repeated.
"That's right, pull it down. They didn't succeed. β
"It seems that Mu Ji is not a good leader after 8,000 years of life," Sether joked, "and even more than twenty children can't be even." β
"We're not kids anymore. Luo Luo shyly curled the corners of his clothes.
"You said you were never separated from little Lia and Albert," asked Sether, "and now that you have run to the Isis Tunnel without saying a word, aren't you afraid that they will be worried?"
"Ahhh......h He, they'll understand meβ" Lolo smiled awkwardly, "Because of us, we're good friends......"
"Really?" Sether frowned.
