"This place seems to be a little different from the environment just now." Link looked at the increasingly dense darkness around him, frowned, and asked the elder who was leading the way: "How long do we have to go?"
The little princess had just made a promise to the werewolf clan in a moment of excitement. After the werewolves cheered and expressed their gratitude, the werewolf chief elder led the way and said that he would take them to meet a big shot in the clan. They
The "divine enlightener" of the Yuan Yue clan.
Although Link can't help the little princess's emotional state, he now has a certain fondness for the Yuanyue clan. In any case, a race that has been exiled for who knows how many years, in
When facing some ethnic groups that are disproportionately weaker than them in terms of ability, they can still maintain their persistence and principles. This is already a very admirable thing.
Therefore, although Link felt that the little princess's words were a bit too hasty, he still agreed with the little princess's promise. After all, he came this time with a little desire to start from this thing that has existed since ancient times.
The idea of obtaining some information from intelligent races, and although this oracle seems to be unrelated to what he wants to know, Link now has a vague feeling that between these unrelated events,
Maybe there is an invisible connection.
And Will has basically made up his mind to follow Link now, and since it was the promise made by the little princess herself, of course he has no objections.
However, after going all this way, Link began to feel a little strange in his heart.
When the werewolf elder just said that he would take them to see some "divine enlightenment", although he felt a little surprised, he didn't think much about it.
He also learned some of the habits of ancient intelligent races like the werewolf clan from the scriptures in the Mage Tower. In that era, each race did not believe in the same main god like on the mainland today, but each race
Different tribes worship their own different patron saints, so each tribe also has some roles similar to the priests in the temples on the mainland today, who are responsible for communicating with the gods, such as prophets, priests, and divine enlighteners.
They are probably all pointing to this type of people. It is not surprising at all that the werewolf race, an intelligent race that has been passed down for so many years, has a so-called great divine enlightener, but Link originally thought that the werewolf elder was acting as
With such a role, I didn’t expect there to be someone else.
But looking at the environment in front of him, Link felt that something was wrong.
He stopped, and Weir, who had been following him, also stopped and took a defensive posture. However, the little princess did not see their movements. If Link hadn't pulled her hard, she almost hit him and stopped.
They stopped and looked at the werewolf elder who was looking towards them in surprise.
Because it is really too dark here, maybe the world under the underground should be shrouded in such darkness, but when the werewolf clan just lived in the place where the werewolves lived, there was a kind of light that was said to contain the power that could be spread everywhere.
The dark red light that replaces the energy of the light of the full moon, although it looks a bit strange as it is all red, it does not give people any sense of darkness. But now along the way, this dark red light is becoming more and more intense.
This level of darkness has little impact on Link and Earl Weir, but it has made the little princess unable to see the road in front of her clearly. She can only rely on the remaining faint red light,
I could barely see Link's figure right in front of me, and followed him step by step.
This is also why Link feels something is wrong.
No matter how powerful that divine enlightener is, it is obvious that he must be a member of the werewolf clan. According to what the werewolf elder just said, the abilities and life energy of their werewolf clan are all dependent on the light of the full moon.
Energy comes from them, and the demonic curse they received in the battle of the gods essentially changed the nature of the energy contained in the light of the full moon, making them no longer able to absorb the energy needed to maintain their lives.
It is precisely for this reason that in the process of re-searching for the light containing this energy, they sacrificed the lives of countless people before they found such a place and settled down. It is also because of this reason that they have been able to settle down for so many years.
They have never been able to leave this place that emits this dark red light. Even when they discovered that this light would have serious negative effects on them and destroy their ability to reproduce, these werewolves could only
I choose to remain trapped here, longing for the appearance of the savior mentioned in the legendary oracle, but cannot choose to leave here.
Although the werewolf elder's words were a bit vague, Link had already understood the meaning of his words. That is, after living here for so many years, in fact, these werewolves have developed a serious problem with this kind of light.
Dependence, it can be said that their lives now have to be maintained by this light containing unique energy. Once they leave here, the werewolves may not live long.
Even in the short time he brought them here, Link could feel that as the dark red light weakened, the werewolf elder in front of him had never let him feel the fluctuation of magic and fighting spirit.
A rather strange energy also surged through his body. It was obvious that such an environment had a relatively large impact even on this somewhat eccentric werewolf elder.
The great elder said that he wanted to take them to see some divine enlightenment, but how could any werewolf be able to live in such an environment without light for a long time?
"Little princess, Bright Knight, I know what you are thinking." The werewolf elder also lived for who knows how many years. After the initial surprise, he immediately thought of the reason why Link and the others reacted like this.
, he turned his head and explained to Link and the others: "The Divine Enlightener is the most outstanding member of our Yuanyue clan. He lives here because he hopes to find a way to undo the devil's curse, but..."
He let out a long sigh, turned his head away, took steps forward, and continued to lead the way without continuing.
Just as they turned a corner, the light became increasingly dimmer. The great elder stopped at the end of the road and stood up straight.
"Is that Tasang outside?" An old voice sounded in the darkness without warning. In this environment, it seemed a bit empty. The little princess was slightly frightened and unconsciously walked towards the forest.
The place where Ke stood was closer.
Link and Weir had clearly seen early in the morning that in front of where the great elder stood, there was a house that seemed to be made of a single piece of stone, so they just followed the great elder and stood still.
"Yes." The werewolf elder bent slightly and replied with a respectful voice coming from his heart: "God-enlightened One, the princess and the bright knight we have been waiting for for many years have finally appeared."
With a "rumbling" sound, the door of the stone house was quickly opened, and the old voice became obviously urgent: "Really? Quickly, please come in with the princess and the bright knight."
"Princess, Knight of Light." The voice of the Divine Enlightenment paused, but this sentence was clearly addressed to Link and the others: "My actions have not changed and I cannot go out to greet you. Please forgive me."
Link and the other three did not answer immediately because they were all a little confused by the situation in front of them.
As the door of the stone house opened, soft golden light emanated from the stone house. In this darkness, it was as if a bright moon had lit up in the dark night. For those who were already in this dim state,
For a few people who have been walking under the bright light for a period of time, it has a unique impact effect.
It is normal for the room to have lighting fixtures such as lamps and candles, but the light emitted from the room can make everyone think of the light of the full moon when they first see it.
.
The werewolf elder looked at the surprised expressions of Link and the others, with a proud smile on his lips, bowed and said to them: "Princess, Knight of Light, please!"
Although they had already made enough guesses about the appearance of this mysterious enlightened person beforehand, when Link and the others just stepped into the door and saw clearly the appearance of the divine enlightened person sitting cross-legged on the ground, they were still confused.
They couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Even though Link, who has seen many immortals who have lived for who knows how many years in the mage tower and is definitely well-informed, has never seen an old person like this.
The face of the divine enlightened person sitting cross-legged on the floor, except for the faint outline of the facial features, was almost completely covered by the layers of wrinkles, making it impossible to see anything clearly.
The snow-white long hair hangs down, and is tied together with the same snow-white eyebrows and beard. If it weren't for the pair of eyes that emit a faint green light when they open and close, it would simply make people feel that what is sitting there is a lifeless body.
The Walking Dead.
"Princess, Knight of Light", the face of the walking zombie-like Divine Enlightenment twitched, as if he was trying to squeeze out a smile, but the thick wrinkles made it impossible for him to show a clear expression, and he could only be heard using an expression that was obviously
A joyful voice said: "I finally waited for you. I thought I couldn't wait any longer."
There were no other furnishings in the room. Except for a fist-sized ball suspended in mid-air that continuously emitted light similar to the light of the full moon, there was not even a table or chair. In the werewolf elder's room
Signing down, Link and the others also sat down cross-legged on the floor.
"You are too polite, Divine Enlightener." Link raised his head, glanced at the crystal suspended above, then turned to the Divine Enlightener, and said with a smile: "You seem to have succeeded, we are afraid
I can't help you with anything."
Because of his unique practice method, Link has an unusually keen intuition about the energy fluctuations between heaven and earth. Although he has never really seen the energy contained in the light of the full moon before the battle of the gods as mentioned by the werewolf clan.
What kind of existence, however, during the time he has been in contact with the werewolf clan, especially after seeing the actions of the earth wolf Riodor, he has been able to determine that what is emanating from the crystal suspended in mid-air is...
It should contain the kind of light needed to maintain the abilities and lives of the werewolf clan.
The Great Elder of the Werewolf once said that according to the instructions in their oracle, only the princess and the Bright Knight can lead them to find the ruins of the Holy Land of the Yuanyue Clan, and then their curse can be lifted.
After listening to the werewolf elders explain the cause and effect, Link once speculated that perhaps the ruins of some holy land contained energy that could replace the light of the full moon, but would not cause any side effects to the werewolves.
Therefore, as long as the ruins of the Holy Land are found and the werewolves are moved in, they can thrive there. This may be the real answer to the so-called lifting of the curse, but now it seems that since this divine enlightenment has already
Being able to create something that can completely replace the light of the full moon, it is obvious that his idea just now is not correct. The problem of the werewolf clan does not seem to be that simple.
"If every member of our Yuan Yue clan can be as outstanding as the Divine Enlightener, then maybe the problem of our Yuan Yue clan can indeed be regarded as solved." The werewolf elder sitting nearby heard this.
Link's question was answered slowly: "It's a pity that in the past generations of the Yuan Yue clan, except for our ancestors who once personally followed the God of the Yuan Yue, I am afraid that no one in the clan can have this generation of gods.
Enlightenment is such a powerful life force."
"Life force?" Link looked at the unusually old appearance of the Divine Initiator, vaguely understood something, and muttered: "You mean..."
"Yes, this crystal bead was made by pouring all my life force into it." The divine enlightener said with a smile: "Now, including me, no one in the tribe has the ability to make a second crystal bead like this."
Already."
"It's a pity", the divine enlightener shook his head and sighed: "Even if I exhaust all my abilities, the energy of the crystal beads can only be effective on our people if we don't walk through this stone house."
"Sangma is the most powerful enlightened person born after our Yuanyue clan was cursed. After witnessing his abilities, we all cheered and felt that in his hands, we, the werewolf clan, have been cursed for so many years.
, maybe we can get a complete solution, and he did not let us down, but the price of doing so is..." The werewolf elder turned his head, looked at the divine enlightener, and showed a sad expression: "Sangma's age
, seventeen years younger than me..."
"Ah?" The little princess covered her mouth and looked at the divine enlightener in disbelief.
The lifespan of a werewolf is many times longer than that of humans. Although the great elder of the werewolf is probably hundreds of years old in real life, after transforming into a human form, he looks like a man in his fifties at most.
Elder, and the ancient appearance of this divine enlightened person is definitely not the same generation as the werewolf great elder. If placed among the human race, judging from the appearance of the two of them, this divine enlightened person should at least be the great elder.
He is a grandfather, but he is actually younger than the great elder.
"Haha, Eta", the divine enlightener waved his hand: "As long as we can keep the last hope of the Yuanyue clan, there is nothing to be reluctant to part with."
"Moreover," he looked at Link and the others and laughed: "I can still wait until the princess and the knight of light from the oracle arrive, and I will be very satisfied."
"Inspired One, from your body, I see that the Full Moon Clan is a group worthy of respect from all intelligent races." Link stood up, gave the Inspired Person a knightly respect, and said:
"I wonder what I can do for the Yuanyue clan?"
He already understood what was going on from the words of the werewolf elder and the divine enlightener just now.
This so-called energy of the light of the full moon is different from the energy of any pure element. Even if Link understands that this energy must be contained in the power of the elements of heaven and earth, even the master of the Mage Tower who is proficient in the rules
Even if the mage comes here in person, there is probably no way to decompose and combine the energy of the light of the full moon from the power of the elements of heaven and earth.
But this divine enlightenment uses a completely different method to create this kind of energy that is similar to the light of the full moon. This energy can be absorbed by the werewolf family and converted into their abilities and lives. Then this
A divine enlightener went against the trend and transformed his own abilities and lives into the energy contained in the light of the full moon.
This Divine Enlightenment is younger than the Great Elder Werewolf, and he should belong to the new generation of werewolves who grew up underground. He can only absorb the alternative energy contained in the dark red light underground.
However, due to the werewolf's body itself, what was re-filtered after the transformation of his body became an energy substance close to the pure light of the full moon before the War of the Gods.
Of course, the cost of doing this was that the divinely inspired person would inevitably lose most of his abilities and life, but he did so without regret.
Because at that time, he had discovered that this dark red light underground, although it could allow the werewolf clan to survive, had seriously damaged the reproductive function of the werewolf clan. If the oracle predicted that it could lead the werewolf clan,
If the princess and the knight of light do not appear, then it will be difficult for the werewolf clan's inheritance to continue after a while.
At that time, no matter how reluctant they are, the werewolves will probably have no choice but to leave here and shoulder the hope of finding the ruins of the Holy Land. And the crystal he created that condenses his ability and life force, although it is covered with
The scope is not large enough, but it is enough to preserve the last fire of the werewolf clan and their last hope for inheritance.
Such an act full of sacrificial spirit cannot help but move Link's face and express his respect.
The little princess and Earl Weir also understood one after another. Following Link, they stood up and saluted the divine enlightener.
"Sit down, sit down." The divine enlightened person struggled to move, as if he wanted to stand up and return the salute, but he failed to stand up after all. He could only let the werewolf elder on the side return the salute on his behalf. He waved his hands and waited.
Link and the others sat down cross-legged again before speaking: "Princess, Bright Knight, on behalf of the Yuan Yue Clan, I praise your bravery and selflessness. The Yuan Yue Clan hopes that you can help us find the ruins of the Yuan Yue Clan's holy land.
"
"And, I hope," he looked at Link and the others, and said solemnly, "you can help us reawaken the God of the Full Moon."
