Under the thin curtain of rain, two beautiful paladins, one tall and one short, walked side by side on the street, which was a beautiful sight—
Tall, generous and hearty, with black hair flying in the sea breeze, she is not a beautiful woman, but she is a woman who cannot be erased from the memory just by looking at her: the female paladin looks relaxed with her little one
The companions chatted and were occasionally amused - when she laughed, her beautiful eyes narrowed into a thin line, she giggled, leaned back and forth, and did not hide it at all.
Like an elf in the wind and rain, every move is unpretentious and full of natural beauty.
A rose-red armor bloomed in the rain, eye-catching; the powerful lines covered by the scales first pulled down to outline the tall figure of its owner, but then became completely different from ordinary armor, blood red
, the long skirt almost reached the ground, and it looked like a long metal skirt from a distance.
Then the long cloak, black on the outside and red on the inside, unfolded in the wind, revealing a coat of arms with thorns surrounding lightning - Sophia was a little envious, she knew this set of armor and emblem. In the entire Dragon City Plain and the surrounding radiation areas, this is almost a legend
: Because it belongs to the Holy Retribution Knights and is one of the three sharp swords of Dragon City.
"Haha, it turns out that this title has such an allusion -" the female paladin couldn't help but laugh again, "Hahaha, Lord Glorious Sage's words came true - the little princess of Silver Vislan - who is lying in bed.
Your Highness the little princess..."
Sophia's face was like a red apple, and she complained dissatisfiedly: "Sister Ma Qihan! I promised you not to laugh!"
"Okay, I won't laugh..." After saying this, Ma Qihan looked like she wanted to laugh.
In this way, the little girl can only get sulky. After all, this is one of the people she admires the most - even in terms of time, this kind of worship precedes Xiao Fen and Ning Jingxue.
This seemingly approachable woman has no arrogance or pride at all; but she has performed a legend, and this legend has now turned into stars in the sky, and is still watching this earth to this day (turned into an NPC after the closed beta,
Personality copying. Memory reshaping. Faction influence——). She was once a god in the sky. Her deeds can be written in a classical heroic epic and praised on the earth (in fact, there is). The height she has reached can be
After the call, all the players looked up - and they could only look up.
Wrath of Heaven Ma Qihan. The most legendary player during the closed beta. This name has now been called the sword-wielding guardian by mortals on the earth - Malan - Wrath of Heaven - the Holy of Judgment - Tan Rui from God
, is also the brightest constellation in the eastern midnight after the beginning of summer in Olas.
The little girl never thought that one day she would meet this legendary person in person. Moreover, the latter would stay with her all day long. In fact, when Maggie Han offered to be her tour guide, Sophia felt that she was overwhelmed with great happiness.
It was so full that she was still in a state of slight excitement until now.
Ma Qihan laughed for a while, looked at this innocent and adorable little girl, and said, "I believe that one day, our little princess will also become a legend on this earth."
"Really?" The little girl's beautiful big eyes lit up. People's admiration is often blind. When others say this, the little girl thinks it is a compliment at most, but when the female paladin says this, it is a kind of affirmation.
"nature."
"But I always feel that what Brother Palin does is the big thing...but I always do the wrong thing..." Sophia thought for a while and felt a little unsure: "Sister Ma Qihan, am I not mature enough?"
The female paladin didn't expect the little girl to say that. She was slightly startled, with surprise in her eyes; but then she thought of something, shook her head and said: "Sofia, in fact, everyone has their own legend. But you are different -
—”
She put a hand on the chest of the little princess of Silver Vislan, looked at her seriously and said: "Because you have a pure heart of a paladin. If you have such a belief, then one day this big princess will
Your name will be left on the ground!"
"Really?"
Maggie Han nodded seriously.
The little girl's face was red with excitement, and she was trembling slightly. For a moment, she felt that the female paladin was very much like the radiant sage, her mentor. But she had to go further. This kind of relationship between teacher and friend is called
Sophia had a feeling of opening her heart; just like this, she hesitated for a moment and finally raised the doubts she had always had in her heart:
"Sister Ma Qihan, actually I have always had a question..."
"Um?"
"About Sister Xue..."
"Quiet Snow? I have always respected the Silver Lady, what?"
"Sister Xue is now Siskena's pastor. Sister Maggie, do you know?"
"I heard about this not long ago. I regret Lady Silver's choice, but I can't say anything about it - after all, a lawful neutral person can also become the priest of the Black Moon Queen."
"I know, Sister Ke Xue is such a kind person, but now she is a priest of an evil god -" the little girl frowned, "...I don't know why she made such a choice? It's because
Brother Palin? I have always believed that Brother Palin must be doing the right thing, but there are some things that are different from what I originally knew..."
She asked in a low voice: "Sister Ma Qihan, shouldn't the world be like this? People obviously want to live in goodwill; happiness and stability, people should obviously yearn for light, but why is the world still like this?
——I originally understood it this way, but now I can’t understand many things, just like everything that happens in the south... Am I wrong? Sister Ma Qihan? "
The female paladin listened and smiled slightly: "People hope to live in goodwill, little princess, but goodwill is not charity. "What do you mean?"
"Why do people's hearts yearn for freedom?" Ma Qihan replied calmly: "——Because we must live in order!"
“The establishment and destruction of order, the alternation of light and darkness, the surface of this world is always changing, but some things will not change: when order becomes obsolete, people seek change; when chaos comes, people long for stability; sometimes
Greed blinds the eyes, and profit drives war. However, whenever shadows cover the earth, people will always pray for light in the darkness——"
"It's not funny, Sophia. Constantly seeking change. This is the reason why human beings make progress -" the female paladin patted the little girl's shoulder gently: "And on this land, this is what we
The reason why paladins exist!”
"...There are swords of some holy warriors that are used to protect, just like me - to protect peace and happiness. And to show anger to those who create evil!"
"But there are some paladin swords destined to bring light in the darkness, just like you - Sophia. Just like the teachings you listened to when you chose to embark on this path: Young paladin, don't be confused, don't be because
Change your true heart due to things happening, stick to what you think is right and what is wrong - as long as the creed of the paladin always exists in your heart, always remember enthusiasm and dedication. One day you will see what you want.
"I don't quite understand, Sister Ma Qihan, but..." The second half of the little girl's sentence made Ma Qihan put a finger in her mouth. "No buts," the female paladin shook her head: "They don't
will disappoint you because they are your chosen partners."
"You will not disappoint them." She continued: "You will see all this one day, because I believe you are an outstanding paladin."
After returning to Silver Vislan, Sophia has experienced many things and understood a lot, but there are still many things she does not understand; but the conflict between reality and ideals always leaves this little princess of the paladin in confusion, and she thinks in her heart
I want to let myself mature, but I don’t know how to do it.
The little girl glanced at the female paladin in confusion - the latter was almost an unshakable spiritual idol in her heart - and saw the affirmative look in her eyes. Although she was still a little confused, her heart finally settled down.
She nodded and hummed subconsciously.
"I will understand." Sophia said firmly.
Only then did Ma Qihan show an affirmative smile. The two of them had gone a long way through these questions and answers. From the area controlled by the Bloody Slayer to the most prosperous center of Terans.
At this time, the little girl saw a figure wearing a long, velvet black cloak in front of a handicraft shop and was startled: that was the back of a slender girl. Looking from behind, it made people feel suffocated.
The land is beautiful, the snow-necked goose is long, and the jet-black silk falls like the Milky Way hanging upside down - she carefully selects the goods there, jumping between the handicrafts with her slender fingers, every movement is light and delicate, and all reveal a slender charm.
Beauty, as if just looking at it can make people feel protective.
This is a player, and only players will hang out in these craft shops; in fact, there are some shops in Canaan specially prepared for players - such as these craft shops, most of the things sold here are embodied
In a local folk custom, or around the game, after players select their favorite crafts here, they can exit the game and use some real-life equipment to mold them at once to bring these virtual items into reality.
Sophia only felt that this back figure was a little familiar at first, but soon she recognized him - because the man under the cloak straightened up at this time, tilted his head slightly, and the two of them were facing each other.
"Qiqi!" Our little paladin princess shouted in surprise: "Sister Qiqi! Is it you!"
"Ah——" the girl named Qi Qi murmured, obviously she didn't expect to meet him here; she should hate Xiao Fen, but she couldn't hate her. She made up her mind several times
I wanted to assassinate Xiao Fen once with my own strength, but in the end it became a one-sided protection - I convinced myself that the other person's life must be taken by myself, but even I couldn't believe this self-deception...
Therefore, the relationship between her and Shining Gold Coin has always been a bit awkward. After leaving the underground, she had already made up her mind to meet as little as possible, but she did not expect that even if she had been hiding in Terans, she would still meet the members of Shining Gold Coin.
.
Fortunately, it's not him.
Now the girl only has this lucky idea in her mind.
At this time, a silver light flew across the sky, and Ma Qihan casually raised her hand to take it - it was a silver-gray homing pigeon; she frowned, but neither Qi Qi nor Sophia noticed it.
The movement here.
The Bloody Slayer finally made his final decision——
Miss Paladin looked up at the sky, as if thinking, but finally sighed. As it moves forward according to its established trajectory, those silent but far-reaching changes often come from something that is not noticed.
The beginning of the corner noticed by the world.
Darkness and silence are like twins; when one exists, the other follows them like a shadow——
The underground world has been silent in the boundless darkness for thousands of years, without a sound, and it seems to have experienced countless births and deaths; however, the former glory now only remains in ruins. Only those huge and towering ruins are
This temple is the only witness to the majesty of the past; maybe the civilization represented by this group of buildings was once very powerful, maybe their owners were once the only voice on this earth. But this has passed, time is like water, and the epic must also be
Turn into dust.
This is a large-scale temple, or altar, Xiao Fen recognized this at a glance. Because its style is so obvious, with broken, huge stone pillars, toppled boulder walls, and rows of large-scale buildings.
Without any meticulous decoration, the ruins leave only one impression to future generations - majestic, very majestic!
This heavy and simple architectural style can only come from the hands of the ancient Ella people. They themselves lived in trees. But they used huge stones to build countless majestic temples for their gods - those Canaanite gods, and
Their main god is the elemental god system.
But what is ridiculous is that the Ella Empire disappeared into thin air due to the rise of the Ella pantheon, and perished in the hands of the beings they once worshiped. This cannot but be said to be a great irony.
This period of history was written magnificently in the epics, but it was full of exaggeration, so that later generations did not understand what happened in that era. However, in these epics, some of the culture of the Ella Empire was passed down.
This includes their architectural style and some customs and habits in temple construction.
Although Xiao Fen did not have high knowledge of architecture and engineering, he was proficient in historical knowledge. Therefore, as soon as he saw the huge arch, he knew that he had found the right direction: this ruins with a history of at least six thousand years.
It is everything that is hidden under the terrible Lich Castle in history: what kind of power he obtained, and how he obtained the twelve pages of the Book of Doomsday.
There is no doubt that the truth of history is buried in the ruins. The mage knows with his knees that this is a one-time dungeon similar to the treasure of King Asuo. It contains wealth that ordinary players cannot imagine, but the danger is also geometric.
The number increases.
Elemental God System, Canaanite God System; this plot obviously involves the war between gods. As for the terrible things in the temple, I am afraid that just thinking about it will make people shudder.
However, this did not make Xiao Fen flinch. He held high the staff that emitted bright light and slid down the gentle slope step by step. As the gravel rolled down, there was a clear and crisp echo in the empty ground.
Three people, or rather two people, slid down hundreds of feet in a row before barely reaching the main entrance of the ruins; in fact, facing the huge arch, they were as small as ants.
Everyone took a breath of air-conditioning, even Miss Black Dragon, who had a high self-esteem. They looked around quietly: a huge sense of oppression came from the magnificent buildings, although they had been dilapidated for thousands of years.
But it’s this weighty feeling of history that makes people breathless.
The light from the dark crystal staff was continuous, but it could not shine very far. Although the sharp sword made of hot white light cut through the darkness at once, it was swallowed up by the shadow a little further away.
It was pitch black all around, and the uneven ground was covered with broken building stones; and accompanying the ruins, there was silence——
"This is... left by the Ella people..." Miss Griffin was stunned. She never thought that such a place would be hidden under a level 5 or 6 dungeon.
Maairi Bailey looked around, feeling a little creepy - even though she was a dragon, she still frowned and said: "I don't like it here very much... It seems like there is a feeling of being spied on by powerful beings. They are obviously dead.
…….”
Xiao Fen knew what kind of existence they were referring to here, but he did not express his opinion. He just glanced at the line of runes on the arch.
"What is that?" he asked.
Miss Griffin raised her head, glanced at it, and read with some difficulty:
"Eris, Storm...and the daughter of the quarrel, our god, please take back...your sword and have mercy on...your people."
