Lu Zhengkang opened his eyes, and vigorous mental power surged in the gap between his body and mind. The fuller the ritual water bottle, the stronger his mental power, the stronger his speech and spirit, and the number of spits he produced doubled.
"False power." He murmured to himself. At this time, the portal had opened, which was the road leading to the Forgotten Valley. Lu Zhengkang nodded to Serana, and Jonas's shout came from the distance. They
It's almost here too.
"Don't be caught up by the children, let's go." Lu Zhengkang took the lead, gently passing through the water-like portal as if passing through the morning fog, and arrived at a brand new area in a blink of an eye.
The teleportation place was a completely dilapidated shrine, but that didn't matter. The place they needed to go to was still intact, and they left the underground world along the winding road on the inner wall of the mountain.
They stepped into a vast world. Snow fell all over the mountains and deep valleys at night. The air was as clean as bright light and pure water. Every breath was grace. Long-lasting beast cries and thick clouds echoed in the depths of the vast night snow city.
Cover everything
In the light of the sky, the earth is as chaotic and unclear as boiling soup. It is covered with ice, the mountains are as dangerous as a knife screen, and the alternating light and dark ice surfaces are shining like the scales of the planet. Here and now, surrounded by mountains, there is nothing in this world.
The land, the valley of forgetfulness.
Lu Zhengkang stretched out his hand towards Serana, "Come, let's fly."
Serana did not hand over her hand to him immediately, "Lu Zhengkang, do you know that you are an arrogant and hopeless bastard!"
"I know."
"Then are you willing to let my father go and I can atone for his sins?"
"Hakon is like a flag, set up in the sky and on the earth. As long as he is alive, there will be countless vampires running for eternal night. Only his death can prove the purity you want."
"Really, there is no way?"
"You know me, if you say something, you must do it."
"Then are you willing to lie for me?"
"I don't want to."
Such an answer made each of them stop talking.
Their eyes met, as if a vortex was washing over each other's souls, sometimes soaring and sometimes suffocating.
After a long time, Serana shook her head and said, "That's right, you won't change yourself for a stranger."
"I promised that I would not hurt you. This is the truth. I said that I would not lie for you, which is also the truth. The truth hurt you, so it became a paradox. Now I say it again, Serana,
I won't lie, but you are my lie."
"How dare you..." Serana covered her mouth, "How dare you say that!"
"Please forgive my abruptness, Serana, just pretend I didn't say it."
"No, you said it, and I remember it clearly."
How long has Lu Zhengkang been silent, filled with fear? How long has it been since he felt panic?
All sentient beings in the world are evil, and all sentient beings are suffering. So what?
"You are a vampire, and I..."
"You're a lycanthrope!"
"No, I am a dream, I am just insignificant..."
"That's enough, that's enough for me."
"But I am your enemy."
"I am your lie too."
Lu Zhengkang awkwardly opened his arms, then suddenly retracted them, "No, I'm weak. Emotions make people weak. I'm afraid of losing my courage."
Serana said softly: "I won't do that. I am not your vassal, and there is no need to treat me as a weakness. For me, the moment I have you is my eternity."
"What do you mean?"
"I want to be human again."
"Why, are you tired of eternal life?"
"No, I just think you are right. My father's existence is like a flag, and my blood is the key to completing the mission. Unless I destroy it, the prophecy will not end."
Lu Zhengkang smiled dryly, "If I said that I would transform myself into a lich, how would you choose?"
"That is your own choice, I respect it, and please respect my choice."
Serana's words have never been so calm and gentle.
Lu Zhengkang calmed down all his emotions, "Okay, Serana, let's be lovers for the rest of our lives. Even if we die."
"Death is the end of it."
…
Lu Zhengkang and Serana were flying high in the sky. With the help of eagle eye skills, they could see the Vamo tribe in the valley. They breed nest moths and use the carapace of this disgusting insect as the main material to build complex structures along the mountain.
Walled cities are scattered everywhere.
This was left to Jonas and the others. Lu Zhengkang found the direction of the temple, flew all the way, received blessings from the remaining priests, filled up the water, and finally headed to the door of the inner sanctuary to perform the final step of the ceremony.
The sanctuary is located between the steep cliffs of two mountains, like a crown jewel. The gray-white surface is mottled with fine cracks, detailing the passage of time. The ancient ruins that were frozen in history finally welcomed new visitors.
Starting from the last shrine, crossing the stone bridge and arriving at the main entrance of the inner sanctuary, the building hundreds of feet high seems to have its own life force, making people feel dizzy when looking up at it.
.
Walking into the vestibule, there are many semi-arched window pane structures on the main outer wall of the temple, like shrines. In the middle of the courtyard, there is a huge bronze statue of Oriel, holding the sun god card high, facing the north.
Ice flowed out of the sanctuary and hung on the walls, just like a waterlogged house that had been frozen for a moment.
Lu Zhengkang poured the water from the kettle into the stone basin on the high platform behind the statue. Watching the pure water flowing away along the holes in the basin bottom, Lu Zhengkang suddenly felt that the incomparable tranquil revelation had been completed.
The false mental power dissipated along with the revelation in the kettle, but the cleanest and clearest light was left, shining deep in the heart, like a lighthouse on the coast, commanding the endless waves and returning boats.
Lu Zhengkang had a premonition that he was getting closer and closer to his divinity.
Pure water flows in slender ditches on the high platform floor, collecting into the hexagonal ditch in front of the entrance gate, filling the sun grooves.
Suddenly, a ray of emerald green light shot from the spherical crystal on the top of the high platform, illuminating the sun puddle, and the door lock of the inner temple rotated and opened.
"It will be completed soon. Let's meet the high-level aide together."
Serana whispered: "Treat my father first, he is too weak."
Lu Zhengkang untied the rope, put Ha Kong down from behind, and used the healing technique to give him some vitality.
"You guys are here?"
"Yes, you can see the source of the prophecy right away."
Countless ice sculptures are erected in the dilapidated sanctuary hall. The expressions of these people are lifelike, but they are sleeping under the ice shell. Deep in the hall, many Vamer, Nest Moths and Snow Elves can be seen surrounding Aurel's altar.
, either worshiping, or raising a sword, with different postures.
Serana: "These people seem to have been sealed in an instant."
Lu Zhengkang nodded, "It seems so. Let's drink some frost resistance potion?"
"Are you kidding?" Serana patted Lu Zhengkang's arm, "The blood flowing in your veins is Nord blood."
"Nords are also afraid of the cold. Let me take a sip of antifreeze first." After saying that, Lu Zhengkang took out a bottle of vodka and drank it in one gulp.
Chapter completed!
