Over the city of Huntingdon, large dark clouds blocked the sky without warning. The surging dark clouds made the city of Huntingdon in the afternoon seem to have entered the night. Violent thunder jumped in the clouds. The ring warlocks living here,
Everyone felt that some extremely deep power was erupting around the city, triggering the dark clouds that covered the sky.
Mr. Armand Bernhard also looked worriedly at the suddenly changed color of the sky from the window of the White King Club. He did not understand why this happened, but he just felt that this matter might be related to Shade.
People in this world cannot understand what wonderful scenery foreigners have seen in their hometown. It is not only the huge knowledge in the systematic education in another world, nor the information transmitted in the convenient knowledge exchange system, but also the countless imaginations.
The intertwined illusions and myriad phenomena are all things that outsiders can never forget.
That is a deeper and more solid power than the system built by knowledge and wisdom.
The sky above the Lake of Cherubim was also covered by dark clouds without any reason. The sky above the island in the center of the lake became pitch black, and the angel with wings on its back resonated with the golden ring behind it.
But the most dazzling thing here is not them, but the dark golden light that illuminates the entire water surface.
The divine afterglow on the surface of Shade's skin fully appeared. In the strong wind, golden light spots were dragged behind him. Among the dense runes, the water bow in his hand completely turned golden, and the arrow turned into dark golden light marks, and
Withstanding more and more powerful forces.
"Is this your knowledge, or your wisdom?"
The angel in the sky did not speak, and the voice echoed throughout the lake area.
Shade gritted his teeth and controlled the bow and arrow in his hand. This power was not something he could easily control. The arrow full of power was far heavier than he thought. His own knowledge and wisdom were even more terrifying than he thought:
"It is knowledge and wisdom."
A sound jumped out from between his teeth. The crazy surge of runes made the bow and arrow in his hand extremely heavy. Shade, who was still drawing the bow, really felt that he could no longer control the direction, and the arrow was shaking crazily up, down, left and right.
【Think about your own wisdom.】
"She" reminded softly.
All kinds of memories of the two lives came to mind. I looked at the lights of thousands of houses at night in my hometown, and watched the gas lamps shining on the streets of Silver Cross Avenue. The hometown I can’t go back to has a materialistic knowledge system. The knowledge of my second hometown
Tobesk has the steam and mystery of spiritualism.
"But not only knowledge and wisdom."
He raised the arrow and bow again, and with the sound, Shade's position completely turned into a golden sun falling in the night:
"That is also technology, technology, knowledge, culture, morality, belief and so on"
He heard a chuckle like a silver bell, and that smile that was the most familiar to him since he came to this world made the outsider's heart throb to its peak.
The angel exuding soft light quietly stared at the extra silvery white in the dark golden light in the air.
A pair of translucent bare arms of holy silver passed under Shade's left and right shoulders. The illusory arms held Shade's hand, like a gentle woman herself and hugged Shade, stabilizing them together.
Bow and arrow.
Dark clouds cover the sky, and the pure white angel and the stranger embraced by the silver moon face each other with their dark golden water bows. The strong wind makes the lake surface pure white, and the light of the dark gold and silver moon drags in the same direction at the same time. This scene
Like the most gloomy oil painting in the magnificent church, depicting the lost myths of the past.
Shade, who held his breath, thought about his wisdom and knowledge in this light, and vaguely felt that he understood something:
"What kind of power is this?"
"She" asked softly in Shade's ear, her voice gentle and soothing.
"What kind of power is this?"
The angel asked from high above, his voice sacred and solemn.
"This is the power of civilization!"
The mortal gave the answer on the surface of the water, his voice serious and firm.
The rotating brass ring behind the back is once again the same as when the "Death Door" was pushed open for the first time, as if the paint has peeled off, and golden light shines in the metal cracks. Dense runes emerging from the arrows surge towards the ring, foreign land
What people remember most deeply is the feeling and knowledge of civilization, which transforms wisdom into the power of [Arrow of Knowledge of Iken'Aura], and the power of the arrow feeds back the mortals who bring the power of civilization.
Shade originally pursued the "dragon" to obtain the final rune of the four-ring sublimation language, but at this moment he finally understood that the power he should really seek, his strongest power was civilization.
[Knowledge is power, and the light of civilization illuminates you. May the world bless you, foreigner, I am with you.]
[Relic - Aiken'ora's Arrow of Knowledge, giving you new power. 】
The rapidly rotating life ring resonates with the sage-level relics, but whether it is a relic or a life ring, the power at this moment comes from the traveler in a foreign land. Civilization forges power, and Shade has not really touched civilization, but at least he has
Touched with power.
[Outlander, you have engraved the Black Iron Whispering Spirit Rune-Strength.]
Core [Time and Space], Miracle [Echo], Blasphemy [Vibration], Enlightenment [Sleeping Princess], Whisper [Power]. The whisper element is finally in the water vapor and steam, and the black iron color [Power] is engraved on the life ring.
At that moment, we all shook together.
The construction of the sublimated words of the lower fourth ring is completed, and the fourth ring lacks miracles and enlightenment, so Shade will embark on the road of the middle ring.
Black clouds pressed toward the Lake of Cherubim. In the sky in the middle of the lake, the holy white angel opened his arms. Above the lake, a bright dark golden light condensed on a point and aimed at the angel's chest.
The strongest power condensed in his hands, and the touch of knowledge and wisdom brought by the relic not only brought Shade the third spiritual rune of the fourth ring, but also made him think of more things.
The story of the "Water of Wisdom" is written on the stone slabs on the top of the mountains. In the trials of God, the trials of angels, and the trials of the chosen ones, he set foot on different islands in the middle of the lake to experience
That test of wisdom.
That tiny touch was like a drop of water falling into his heart. After "whispering", Shade caught the word "enlightenment" in a daze, which represented the enlightenment of his wisdom.
Some vague shadows flashed in the steam mist behind Shade, but they seemed to be phantoms in the mist. Even though [Aiken'ola's Arrow of Knowledge] had not yet come out, the beating shadow was still there.
The golden light has almost reached the chest of the angel in the sky.
"Yes, that's the story."
Shade thought silently in his heart.
"Yes, this is wisdom and knowledge."
He looked at the silver arms holding his hands.
Shade suddenly understood that if he could really shoot this arrow at the Lake of Cherubim and defeat the goddess in the lake, then the four-ringed mystery chain might be born.
He closed his eyes and wanted to let go of the hand holding the bow. But he was shocked because those warm and delicate silver hands actually held his hand to prevent him from shooting the arrow.
"Huh? Aren't you here to help me? How can I stop it? I forgot to tell you. Shoot the arrow now."
"She" chuckled:
【OK.】
But the arrow was not shot in the end. As "her" voice fell in Shade's ears, the solemn voice of the lady in white robe with wings on her back came from the air:
"Beloved of the Recorder, you win, and the third trial is completed."
The angel with pure white wings landed in front of Shade without any precautions. His feet touched the water, causing ripples to appear in the lake illuminated by dark golden light.
She was close, facing the ultimate arrow that was about to be released from Shade's hand.
Under the dark clouds, Xia De was severely suffocated:
"Well, is it okay for you to let me shoot this arrow and then admit defeat? I promise to shoot just one arrow and it will be over after I shoot this arrow."
He asked sincerely. The lady in white robe looked at the bow still full of arrows in his hand, and shook her head regretfully:
"This arrow, as long as I maintain the same level of strength as you, there is no way I can follow it or even avoid it. You found the best opportunity to attack and used the most appropriate method. Although your swordsmanship does not count
Top-notch, but enough to rival me; although your spells and thaumaturgy are not extraordinary, they have touched the threshold of a master; although your weapons are not sharp enough, you know how to use them correctly.
Beloved of the recorder, you won, you defeated me. This was a fair duel, and I recognize your victory."
The Lady of the Lake, whose whole body exuded soft white light, bowed her head slightly and admitted defeat to Shade.
Shade looked at her seriously, then endured the feeling that he was about to spit out a mouthful of blood, but had to hold it back in his throat, and forcefully let go of the bowstring and arrow.
As the light of the sage-level relic [Aiken'ora's Arrow of Knowledge] converged, the divine afterglow on the surface of Shad's body disappeared, the dark clouds dispersed, and the city of Huntington once again welcomed the afternoon light. All the ring warlocks in the city were
He breathed a sigh of relief, and the feeling as if disaster was imminent at the next moment disappeared, and everyone was happy.
Of course, subsequent statistics showed that everything within 50 miles of Huntington was covered by dark clouds, which made the church very unhappy.
Of course, Shade, who was unable to shoot the perfect arrow at this moment, was even more unhappy even though he had obtained the Whispering [Power] and completed the third trial.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. After this arrow, the distance between me and the fourth spiritual rune of the fourth ring is thinner than a piece of paper. If I continue to challenge these tests of wisdom, the next spiritual rune is not far away."
He comforted himself like this, and the life ring behind his back gradually disappeared into the mist. But the feeling in his heart that he wanted to shoot out the arrow and face a powerful enemy still made him feel very uncomfortable, as if he was being gently scratched by little Mia.
Comfortable.
Shade even believed that the scratching feeling was no longer being scratched by one little Mia, but being scratched by hundreds of little Mia's, and he was unable to fight back against any of the cats.
"You have completed the third trial, and now I will tell you the content of the last trial."
