Episode 17 Things That Happened Ten Thousand Years Ago - Section 3 The Mysterious Volcano
Princess Qian had no idea. Whatever Corey said, she just kept nodding.
Five days passed while waiting uneasily. Corey secretly sighed that his luck had been very good before. Back to 10,000 years ago, it was not bad. This time the special envoy was one of the seven elders of the Gods.
"See Your Highness the Princess." The great envoy bowed deeply, while the great elder behind him just nodded.
Princess Qian had already given instructions to see the special envoy alone, but the great envoy bowed and left.
At this time, there were only three people in the room: Corey, Princess Qian, and the First Elder. The First Elder bowed to Princess Qian, who was wearing a veil, then sat on a chair nearby and said slowly: "I'm very curious about your identities.
, this kid has the blood of the human race in his body, but his soul has the aura of our race, but it is not completely from our race."
After saying that, he pointed at Princess Qian. "And you have the blood of our royal family flowing in your body, and your soul is a real royal family. There is nothing wrong with calling you princess, but you are not the princess of today."
"Haha!" Corey didn't show any weakness: "The second elder really has good eyesight."
The great elder smiled coldly, but was quite surprised in his heart. It was obvious that the seven elders were not ranked in order, but in fact there were strict distinctions. Of course, only the God King and the seven great elders knew about this ranking.
"Let's make it clear, our goal is Feng Linglong, for the future of the Protoss." Corey pulled up a chair and sat in front of the great elder. His attitude was a bit arrogant, but his words were respectful.
"Then, you have to tell me first who you are."
Princess Qian bowed deeply to the Great Elder: "Dear Great Elder, ten thousand years from now, my father is now a god king or a prince, I don't know. I borrowed the identity of my aunt and inherited this at the same time.
"As she spoke, Princess Qian stretched out her right hand. The pattern on the palm of her hand, as one of the seven elders, would naturally know that it is the symbol of the Phoenix Scale Sword.
"Then you, are you..." The great elder lost his calm expression, stood up and pointed at Corey: "The descendant of the Dragon Clan, the son of the man who owns the Silver Dragon Anti-Scale Spear, and the son of Her Royal Highness the Princess."
"You, you know." Corey was even more surprised, but this was equivalent to admitting his identity.
The great elder sighed, sat back on the chair, and said in a low voice: "Not only do I know, but the other elders also know, and His Majesty the God King also knows. You can read this letter." After saying that, the great elder took out the original and gave it to Ke.
The letter from Rui’s mother.
Princess Qian took it, opened it and read it. The letter stated that her father had died in battle. Princess Qian's father inherited the position of God King. She hoped that her sister would come back soon and forget about the dragon warrior.
"Why, why are there constant battles between our two tribes, why do people who love each other have to fight each other, why, why is all this happening? Why is there no record in the archives of our protoss, tell me,
Why is that?" Princess Qian couldn't help but shed tears.
The Great Elder sighed: "I just know that the legacy of our ancestors of the God Clan is to never coexist with the Dragon Clan under the same sky. No one dares to violate this. In fact, there is nothing to fight between our two races, except for killing.
Killing each other has no other purpose."
"I want your jade token." Corey suddenly stretched out his hand.
"Why, give me a reason." The great elder asked calmly.
Kerui took out the jade tokens given by his grandfather: "I want to collect Feng Linglong, Long Linglong from the dragon tribe, and fourteen jade tokens from the fourteen elders of the two tribes."
"You, do you want to open the forbidden door?" the great elder screamed.
Corey was so happy. He originally just wanted to collect it, but he didn't know what the use would be. He immediately asked: "Is this the sentence you saved? It's the secret of the forbidden door."
"You actually know this. No one knows what is inside the forbidden door. The forbidden words I keep are the keys. When Long Linglong and Feng Linglong are together, they will see the forbidden door. There are fourteen keys.
The key can open the forbidden door." The great elder quickly regained his composure and took out his jade tablet.
"Can you help us?" Princess Qian almost planned to kneel in front of the great elder.
The great elder shook his head: "That's all I can help. Two elders of our God Clan have died in battle. Their jade tablets have been returned to the God King. They will be kept in the God King's hands until a successor is chosen. The Dragon Clan also has
If an elder dies in battle, I think it may be kept in the hands of the Dragon King. Only with their own consent can the jade tablet be handed over to you. No other method is possible. The jade tablet and the soul are connected together."
Seeing the disappointed expressions of the two people, the elder laughed and said, "I can help you get Feng Linglong."
"Thank you." Princess Qian bowed deeply again.
Regardless of age, status, or qualifications, the Great Elder is higher than her, the future princess.
"But!" The great elder's face changed: "We must agree to go back together to see His Majesty the God King. You are His Majesty the God King's future daughter, and you have an obligation to tell His Majesty what you know about the princess."
"This is no problem. I will explain my mother's matter naturally, and I also want the other six jade tokens." Corey agreed without thinking about it, and the great elder smiled slightly.
At this time, Corey knew that the purpose of the Great Elder's coming here was to have all the God Tribes in the Human Continent withdraw to the God Clan Continent according to the wishes of the new God King, to prepare for the war between the God Clan and the Dragon Clan, the final decisive battle.
However, because of Feng Linglong's incident, the great elder changed the time of withdrawal, and changed the time until Kerui and Princess Qian obtained Yu Linglong before starting a full retreat.
"I understand, the Dragon Clan and the God Clan have all left, and the battle within the Human Clan, because the fighting spirit taught by the Dragon Clan is easier to learn than the magic taught by the God Clan, and the human race itself is more adaptable, so the side that uses fighting spirit defeats the one using fighting spirit.
This side of magic." Corey seemed to have discovered something big.
"Does it make you so happy that our followers of the God Clan are defeated?"
"No, it should be like this. Although the dragon believers who use fighting spirit are stronger in the war, they are not as smart as the god believers who learn magic and gain more wisdom. Therefore, in the future, there will be an era where magic and fighting spirit coexist, so
How many temples have been preserved until ten thousand years later?"
"The affairs of the human race are not important. We just intend to teach the human race some useful methods to make life more beneficial. The dragon clan may also think the same way. Our two clans do not want the human race to become a prop in the war between us. However, the human race does
He has a strong desire to conquer."
The great elder spoke very slowly, keeping his eyes closed and meditating. He stayed like this for several days in a row. Neither Kerui nor Princess Qian understood what he was thinking. They asked several times, but only received a silent response.
Princess Qian suddenly remembered that the records she had read said that the human race betrayed them. She asked about this.
"Originally, the human continent was all our believers. Later, many people believed in the Dragon Clan, because the Dragon Clan can increase their strength in a short time. This is the reason, and betrayal also refers to this."
"That's because the records of later generations made us understand it wrong." Princess Qian said softly.
Corey looked disapproving: "Magic and fighting spirit are both good. If you want to be strong when you are old, then magicians will become more powerful as they get older. Like swordsmen, age will make them weaker. The lesson plan of the Royal Academy is
According to records, I am the vice president, haha."
While the three of them were chatting, the ground shook violently, and no one knew what happened.
But the great envoy looked excited: "Your Highness, this is the sign before the volcano appears."
"Let's go, we'll go to that place right away." Kerui didn't even bother to put on his coat and hurriedly ran outside. Princess Qian hurriedly helped Kerui get his clothes.
Flying high in the sky and looking in the direction calculated by the great envoy, there was a red cloud in the sky and a red pillar of fire rising into the sky. It was not until they flew close to Kerui and others that they could see clearly that the pillar of fire in front of them was fiery red magma.
"Who is it, who is disturbing my sleep?" A female voice suddenly came, and Corey stopped in mid-air in surprise. Princess Qian and the Great Elder also flew back and stopped next to Corey. Princess Qian asked with concern
Saying: "What happened, why did you stop."
"You guys, did you hear anyone talking?" Corey was still looking around when he asked.
Princess Qian and the Great Elder both looked around. The Great Elder also used magic to check. Apart from clouds, there was not even a flying beast around, let alone people.
At this time, the voice said again: "Is it you? It was you who woke me up from my deep sleep."
"No, someone was talking. It was a woman. She said that I woke him up from his sleep." Corey covered his ears, but he could still hear the voice and couldn't help but panic.
"Go, Yu Linglong is waiting for you." The great elder used magic to push Corey to fly towards the volcano.
Princess Qian was concerned about Kerui's safety and flew up quickly. The heat wave came towards her. Princess Qian was blown to a halt by the heat wave. Kerui's whole body was already on fire, but she still flew towards the volcano.
"No!" Princess Qian wanted to stop Kerui, but the great elder came and stopped her.
Seeing that the pillar of fire was about to burn Ke Rui, Princess Qian's right hand stretched out to the sky involuntarily. Without any summons, a red phoenix flew from Princess Qian's hand to the sky and flew towards Ke Rui.
Rui is protected under the wings.
"The true form of the Phoenix Scale Sword, a Phoenix Scale Sword made from the most beautiful feathers on the phoenix wings."
The great elder said with emotion, as if this scene had been foreseen by him.
Originally, Corey's whole body was in great pain from the heat of the fire. After Phoenix blocked the flames for him, he felt better. It was not until the light blue light spread all over his body in the palm of his hand that he felt comfortable and regained his energy.
Look around.
Up, down, and around, there was nothing but magma. Just when Corey was puzzled, the magma disappeared, and a platform on the magma appeared in front of his eyes, which was entirely made of paths made of bluestone slabs.
"This place, I seem to have seen this place before." The phoenix turned into a sword again. Corey took it and held it in his hand. He began to look around constantly. The more he looked at this place, the more familiar it became.
Walking along the stone path, every turn and every stone is so familiar.
"Here, this is the holy mountain of the dwarves." Corey exclaimed and started running around. When he came to the platform where he could enter the underground to meet the holy elders of the dwarves, he began to look for the stone slab on the ground that could be opened.
After searching for a long time, there was no stone slab on the ground that could be opened. Kerui angrily stabbed the Phoenix Scale Sword to the ground, and the originally extremely hard stone slab was inserted easily without any effort at all. And in Feng Lin,
When the sword was inserted into the stone slab, the platform began to fall.
Seeing the platform descending and the surrounding magma getting closer and closer, Corey couldn't help but become nervous. He chanted the spell of flying, but his body didn't move at all. He held the Phoenix Scale Sword and shouted, hoping that the Phoenix Scale Sword could transform back into a phoenix.
like this, once again protecting myself.
The magma is level with the platform, but the platform continues to fall.
When Corey was thinking about whether he would be doomed, there seemed to be an invisible wall around the platform. The magma could not flow to the platform at all, but the platform was still falling continuously. When the magma completely surrounded the platform,
, the Phoenix Scale Sword turned into a red light and rushed out.
"Did you wake me up?" the voice asked again.
"Who are you? I didn't intend to wake you up. I came to see Feng Linglong." Corey replied loudly. Just as he finished speaking, a small phoenix flew in front of Corey.
He nodded towards Corey.
"You, it's you who are talking." Corey squatted on the ground, bent down and faced the little Phoenix.
The little phoenix nodded and jumped on the palm of Corey's hand. Corey held the little phoenix in both hands: "Then, are you Feng Linglong? It feels like it should be a piece of jade, how can it be a living thing? It's so strange."
"Answer me a question." Little Phoenix spoke again.
Corey smiled bitterly: "It's another question. Why are you always asking questions? Do you all like to ask questions?"
Little Phoenix ignored Corey and asked directly: "I only have one role. One is to resurrect the dead, and the other is to find the door. How do you choose to use it?"
After Corey heard this question, he fell silent. Little Phoenix didn't seem to be in a hurry at all and waited quietly.
At this time, outside the volcano, Princess Qian watched the phoenix flying towards her. Before she could react, the phoenix wrapped her wings in her wings and flew towards the volcano.
Princess Qian did not have to walk too far on her own like Corey, but appeared directly on top of the platform.
The top of the platform was not completely covered by the lava. Princess Qian could clearly see Corey sitting cross-legged on it, and a little phoenix was jumping around. Except for the sound of flames burning rocks, Princess Qian could hear nothing else.
There was no sound, not even Corey's voice.
At this time, Corey raised his head and looked at Little Phoenix: "You can tell me if Long Linglong is the same."
"That's right. Together we can find the door, and we can resurrect any creature once, no matter how long it has been dead. If we find God to re-inject energy, we can resurrect it again. Our energy is only enough for one use." Little Phoenix
After saying that, he winked at Corey.
"Then, I choose to open the door." Corey no longer considered it.
As soon as Kerui finished speaking, Feng Linglong shone with light and turned into jade Linglong. Kerui hurriedly rushed forward, fearing that Linglong would fall on it and be broken.
He took out Yu Linglong from his neck and compared it, and found that it was exactly what it looked like. Kerui carefully took Yu Linglong back into his arms. At this time, the mountain shook uncontrollably, the platform rose again, and the Phoenix Scale Sword turned into a
The sword shape returned to Princess Qian's hand, and Princess Qian also fell beside Kerui.
At this time, Kerui's whole body glowed red, and his eyes also turned red. As the volcano shook his body, the power began to spread out, but Princess Qian looked at Kerui happily.
"You, your seal has been released. This is the power of our God Clan. You, your power is stronger than mine."
Looking from the outside, the volcano has stopped and is slowly sinking back to the ground.
But Keri and Princess Qian who were inside just knew that it was constantly shaking and didn't understand what was happening.
Finally, the volcano stopped shaking. The stone paths around the platform also appeared in front of Kerui and Princess Qian. The volcano didn't seem so hot anymore.
Following the path in his memory, Kerui took Princess Qian out of the volcano.
A green patch of green reflected in the eyes of Kerui and Princess Qian, and the canyon was also in front of them.
"This is the dwarf continent." Princess Qian was extremely surprised, but Corey was not surprised. He had already guessed from the volcano that this was the dwarf's holy mountain, and this holy mountain also appeared after his parents died.
The first time I saw the phantom of my parents was standing on this mountain.
The only thing Corey doesn't understand is what era it is now.
Looking around, it was all forest, with no trace of war, which made Corey unable to tell the difference.
"Are we back? There were no volcanoes here before your parents died. Maybe we are in an earlier era." Princess Qian said while observing the surroundings.
"Let's walk around and see. If it was earlier, you said that the dwarves had supporters on both sides. If it was later, what is the relationship between your gods and the dwarves? You also said that there were battles within the dwarves.
I hope I won’t get involved in the war.” Corey walked slowly, constantly observing the surroundings.
Suddenly Corey smiled bitterly: "We are surrounded."
Princess Qian was about to recite the spell, but Keri blocked her: "Don't worry, they don't have any murderous intent."
Sure enough, as Corey said, a dwarf came out and saluted the two of them: "Did the distinguished guest come out of the volcano?"
"Yes, tell me, how many years has it been since the war." Corey asked in return.
"More than three thousand two hundred years ago, after the war, the elders of the Gods and Dragons left a prophecy, saying that a messenger of God would come out of this mountain, a figure who would surpass the Gods and Dragons and would help our tribe survive the crisis. We have already
I have been waiting for this for many years." The leader of the dwarves said respectfully. Although the dwarves had already gone through a great war, they still respected this person who transcended the gods and dragons. At least in the hearts of the dwarves, Corey was not a god.
, not the Dragon Clan, and certainly not the enemy.
Corey immediately knew that after he disappeared in the mountain, his grandfather and the great elder of the God Clan must have been here. When they came, this volcano had already appeared because of the death of his parents. Both of them had seen this volcano.
This will leave a prophecy to the dwarves.
He gave Princess Qian a wink, and Princess Qian nodded. The two of them followed the dwarf and walked into the forest, and soon came to a dwarf camp.
Entering the camp was different from what Corey had imagined, and it was also different from what he would see thousands of years later.
There is no life here, there are no fanatical dwarf boys forging iron, there are not even a spark in many furnaces, and there is not a single person to be seen.
A long moan came, surprising both Princess Qian and Kerui.
At this time, the dwarf who brought them said: "All the people in my tribe have been sick for decades. From the beginning, some people were completely weak, to many people who have no strength. Now there are no people who can still walk."
No matter how many people there are, those who can still move are all responsible for finding food, and we are looking forward to your appearance."
With that said, the dwarves knelt down to Corey. Faced with all this, Corey didn't know how to deal with it, and stood there stupidly. Princess Qian put her hand on the dwarf's forehead with a calm face,
Then he whispered to Corey: "They are sick. This disease will not kill people, but they will make their whole bodies weak. The reason is that there is a small bug growing in their bodies."
"Then, is there any help?" Corey asked.
"I need to think about it. It should be enough to use light and water magic. Give me some time."
The more Corey thought about it, the stranger he became, who arranged all this? They just came to this era, and they had the opportunity to treat the dwarves' diseases. Is there really a god?
At this time, the dwarves brought some food. Corey took a look and saw that it was just some plant bulbs and fruits. The most special breadfruit of the dwarves was not among them.
"This, are you going to eat this?" Corey asked curiously.
The dwarf nodded: "We have been eating this for thousands of years. Is it because there is something wrong with our food that makes us weak?"
Corey shook his head, turned around and walked towards the forest without answering. The dwarves did not dare to ask any more questions, and several people hurriedly followed Corey, fearing that Corey would get lost in the forest.
After walking for a long time, Corey didn't see anything like the bread tree. He kept recalling the stories told by the dwarf elders, but he couldn't remember when they started eating the fruits of the bread tree.
Just walking without a goal.
At this time, because the dwarves had not yet planted breadfruit trees themselves, the number was pitiful.
Corey was lucky. After walking for more than an hour, he finally saw a bread tree that was only an arm thick. There were dozens of fruits on it. Judging from the color, four or five were ripe. He used the flying technique to
Climb a tree, pick a ripe fruit and drop it to the ground.
