Chapter 141: Providence's Blessing
They came to a place directly opposite the base, about twenty meters apart, where a long series of colored drapery hung from it, and Sesher suddenly realized that the whirlwind had come from here.
"Where is your companion?" said Lolo, looking around.
One of the curtains shook the most in the wind, and Sether stood right in front of it, as if an invisible hand was trying to pull it down. The brocade on this curtain is particularly vivid and realistic, in contrast to the dull fades of the other curtains.
The background of the curtain was pitch black, and in the center was a large cage, so it was impossible to tell whether it was suspended in the darkness or placed on the ground. Inside, there was a thick, long stone pillar, and at the top of the pillar was a male creature with a red strip tied with iron chains.
Long blue hair was wet and hung around the upper body, and the head hung low, making it difficult to see the face. Like Lemuel, he was almost glowing white, but the skin below his calves had turned a coarse black-red, and his feet had been replaced by forked hooves. He was covered in scars, and the two wings that were originally covered with white wings had turned into black membranous bat wings to varying degrees, about half of them. His right wing, almost half torn and entwined with his chains, hung from the edge of the pillar, and his left wing was fully stretched out like an open fan.
As they stood in front of the curtain and watched, the colors on it became clearer and more vivid, as if it had become a passage that seemed to be real and illusory, and Seser seemed to smell the smell of the wind and the rain of blood, and his whole body began to chill. Suddenly, a dark blue thunderbolt fell from the top of the cage, and slashed heavily on the man's body, and suddenly his whole body seemed to be swallowed by the blue flames, and the originally unconscious head suddenly rose in the raging blue flames, and the two half-membranous and half-feathered wings fluttered and flapped in pain, and the pair of red golden eyes opened weakly, revealing a desperate and sad look, and the man looked at Sether, his chest heaving, his lips slightly open and closed, as if he was trying to plead for something.
At that moment, Sether's spirit was greatly shaken, and all fear and pain surged up in an instant, and he could not stand still, as if he had been hit hard, and immediately took several steps back.
Luo Luo shouted softly and hurriedly ran over to hold him. Sether pushed her away, and took a few steps to look at the curtain again, but this time nothing happened, as if he had just had a terrible daydream.
"What's wrong with you? Did you see something?" Lemuel was also concerned, and his red golden eyes kept looking at Sether, but the latter avoided it, "Or did you hear something?"
Sether just shook his head, "It's nothing, it's just that this monster on the veil makes me uncomfortable." ”
"You almost fell on your back, I thought you were attacked. "If you feel anything in this veil," insisted Lemuel, "you should tell me, even the most insignificant." ”
"I say nothing is nothing, when is your turn to point fingers at me? Don't forget that I saved a large part of your life, and isn't it to save your unfortunate companion by running around this ugly curtain of witchcraft right now? If I ever feel about it, it's that I should really let go of you guys' nonsense and shit, chop up all of you arrogant, aggressive ghosts and gods, and throw them here to feed these prehistoric mobs, and I don't care if I get through this door, as long as I can shut you up - so, fuck, stop pestering me to ask questions, am I clear enough?"
Lemuel didn't expect Sether to be so annoyed, the expression on his face was not good for a while, he was an oracle after all, no mortal had ever dared to speak to him like this, you must know that many ancients would worship the oracle directly as a god or a creator.
Lolo stood in the middle of them, looking at this and that, like a frightened rabbit.
Sether was satisfied with Lemuel's humiliation, he wasn't really as angry as he had appeared. He had indeed crossed the space in that veil, and had spiritually entered the cage in which the oracle had been imprisoned, and when he had been struck hard in the spirit of Sether, he felt that the oracle had spoken to him with great urgency.
For now, of course, he didn't want to expose these things to Lemuel's red golden pupils that read the human mind. Fortunately, because Lemuel himself was severely injured and his wings were destroyed, Seiser found that as long as he was vigilant, did not follow his train of thought or questions, and avoided making eye contact with him, then Lemuel's mind-reading abilities would not work on him.
"You don't need to be so angry, I'm not an ungrateful messenger. Lemuel said, "As long as I am able enough, I will give you the reward you deserve." ”
"You are now capable enough, you can give me a blessing - every oracle can give a blessing, and you don't need to wait until your wings are restored. Sether said.
"What?" the oracle glared at the red golden eyes.
"Aren't you an oracle? Blessings are the best gift you can give to mankind, far better than gold and jewelry. ”
"Let's rescue my companion first. ”
"Broken his promise so soon?" Sether smiled, "The Divine Envoy has broken his contract just like a human. No wonder Satan comes from the oracles, not from humans. I will not judge you for a moment, Lemuel, and let the King of Eternity blame you. ”
The oracle's face was even more ugly than before, "I didn't break the contract. ”
"Then bless me," Sether said coldly, "otherwise you will be in breach of contract." Then I won't help you rescue your companions. ”
Lemuel didn't speak, and most of his previous condescending composure was now gone.
"Why can't you bless? It's not that hard. Luo Luo watched from the side for a long time, and this time he finally couldn't help but speak, his indignation overflowing, "If you refuse to bless, your master will definitely be angry at your breach of contract, then you will definitely be pulled down, and then the destruction of your wings will not seem to be the worst ending." ”
Lemuel's face changed dramatically, and he looked at Lolo and Sether angrily.
"Don't forget, I saved you. Lolo added.
The divine envoy was defeated at this moment, and Sether glanced at Luo Luo in surprise, when did she become so brave? Could it be that this is the power of love, and you can't see your beloved being aggrieved, even if the other party is a divine envoy?
"Well, I'll give you my blessing. Thy brethren, O Sethy brethren, shall praise thee, and thy hands shall put upon the neck of thy enemies, and thy father's sons shall bow down unto thee. Seser is a little lion, my son, and go up when thou hast caught thy food, and thou shalt bow down thy body, and lie down like a lion, and crouch like a lioness, who shall dare to provoke thee? And Seser hath tethered the foal to the vine, and the colt to the good vine, and he washed his garments in the grape juice, and his robe in the grape juice, and his eyes shall be red with wine, and his teeth shall be bright with milk. ”
When Lemuel had finished blessing, everyone was taken aback, including himself.
"How can you bless me with my father's tone?" said Sether.
"I can't help this blessing," said Lemuel's face with even greater defeat, "it seems that it is all providence." ”
Lolo Sether was still happy, but the latter became suspicious, "Are you afraid that I will kill you if I get the blessing?"
"It's not. It's just that it's not in the book. Lemuel replied, "I have fulfilled my promise, and it is your turn." Can you help me free my companion now?"
"How can I save it?"
"Shine the light of the diamond ring in your hand to this drape, and at the same time shout the name of my companion and order him to leave the cage. ”
"What's your companion's name?"
"El. ”
