Chapter 179 The advent of silence (46): 'Snow Dusk'
"Be careful, Laite!" Yin Wan warned in a slightly sharp, boyish voice.
In desperation, he pulled out the pure black dagger that looked like a young dragon hanging from his waist. For the first time in more than a month, as a pure human being, the part of the demonic power belonging to the vegetation in his body surged.
.
boom!
A huge collision sound came from right in front of Laite, and the strong airflow immediately spread outward and rushed out, making Laite unsteady for a while.
He also tried his best to surge up the remaining red magic power in his body, crossed his hands in front of his body, and tried to summon the "Red Kite Eagle Shield" to resist the impact of "madness".
However, there was only a tiny, flickering light in front of his arm, like the light from a lamp with insufficient power.
After flashing two or three times, the red magic source power seemed to be on the verge of exhaustion in this intense, adrenaline-fueled battle where the magic source power was used all the time.
Unable to resist the power of the red magic source, Laite took a few steps back with only the not-so-strong strength of his arms to resist.
One of them failed to stand firm, his right foot flew into the air, and he stomped randomly with his left foot, losing his balance. He fell to the ground, and rolled back several somersaults under the impact of the airflow.
Just like the [clowns] performing in the circus and the acrobats wandering around the empire who rely on meager "rewards" to survive!
After nearly a minute, as the air flow weakened, Laite managed to stand up with support on his swaying body, which felt like he might fall down at any time.
After wiping away the bright red blood that was stained on the corner of his mouth and flowing on his face with an inexplicable "intoxication" feeling, he picked up the "Crazy Bear" pistol that had just fallen to the ground and focused his eyes forward.
Consistent with his immediate guess, the lost man in front of him wearing a torn black robe, with long, fair and unadorned arms holding a "huge drill" was none other than "Ning Wish".
Fortunately, the "giant drill" that could knock out the relatively powerful semi-lost man Feng Yi, who possessed the power of water-based magic, was currently being restrained by Yin Wan's black dagger.
Looking carefully, the dagger was inserted firmly into the middle of the "giant drill", and with the blessing of the magical power of vegetation, several pure emerald green vines stained with mud were tightly inserted from several directions.
Wrapped up "most" of the drill bit.
Since Yin Wan had just returned to human form, part of the human demonic power was still sufficient.
As for "Condensing Wish", at this time, as described in the proverb of the Eastern Flame Empire, "the powerful arrow has reached its end and cannot penetrate even the cheapest cloth".
Therefore, even though the order of "Condensing Wish" has reached "Hope", the dual upper-level magic source power of light and darkness can always suppress any lower-level basic magic source power most of the time.
But the two of them surprisingly maintained a balanced confrontation.
They all stared at each other with hostile and angry eyes, their lips were twitching, and their bodies were shaking due to the exertion, but no one could retreat or dared to retreat.
The two of them can only continue to infuse the magic source power as much as possible until either party is exhausted.
"Hey, what's up? You just defeated a huge evil soul of mine and are you starting to feel proud? He actually fought with me, the great and powerful Cardinal Ning Wish. And he used all his strength from the very beginning?
I think you are the oldest... the most... well, no more than 15 years old at most. Has the current empire... fallen to the point where children are allowed to participate in battles everywhere?" "Ning Yuan" said with an evil twisted smile.
, challenged Yin Wan.
"You are attacking Laite and saving my big brother. I can't stand idly by, do you understand? Even if you are... the pope or... a god, I have to stand up. This is a promise!" Yin Wan roared!
, showing a trustworthy and firm expression.
"Interesting, so interesting. Hahahahahahaha..." "Ningyuan" gave out a sharp smile, like a crazy woman.
Immediately, a ripple appeared in his sapphire-like eyes. After his eyes rolled around, he said mockingly:
"In the wasteland... in the wasteland world, promises are the cheapest things. As long as the [soldiers] of the empire are willing to keep them. None of you can truly become a 'windmill chaser', and neither can I."
It goes against everything arranged by the goddess of fate. However, it is obvious that you should have lost the qualification to fall into the 'Sea of Desires' from the moment you completely made up your mind to serve the empire. I did not notice it. This was a miscalculation on my part.
.”
"It's good that you know, 'Ning Yuan'." Laite interrupted, pointed the "Bear Bear" pistol at the exposed white chest of "Ning Yuan", and said:
"You don't want to die together, and you don't want to suffer irreparable losses. Now you have used magic power, magic wands, vines, 'melting' abilities, 'deception' abilities, a huge 'evil soul', and
Even with the 'giant drill' in your hand and so many abilities, you can't completely defeat us. I think you must be at the end of your rope. Even if you still hide some unknown and unexpected power, I'm afraid you
Isn’t the magic source power in the body not enough to support it anymore?”
"So what? You want me to admit failure and be taken away by the empire, or be brainwashed into a superpower, and work as an empire worker with no freedom, being confined in an area, working day and night, and not having any time of my own."
Human'? Or like the boy in front of you who just turned from a wolf back to a human... and became an experimental subject and went through painful research? As far as I know, many of the lost people in our three major churches have experienced such misery
destiny." "Ning Yuan" roared as if it was about to collapse.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "If you lie again, it will be difficult to enter the empire's legions. They are all selected layer by layer. This is what the empire's laws stipulate." Laite subconsciously defended.
"Lying? This is exclusive to human beings. Human beings...human beings are evil, cunning, deceitful, hypocritical and boring creatures. As long as disaster strikes, the sins of human nature will be infinitely magnified. Only those who follow the Tao and speak righteousness are sinners.
After all, human beings...human beings will call for, praise, and sing whatever they lack!"
"So what?" Yin Wan scolded impatiently.
"How? I remember the soldiers of your empire said that since the new calendar was opened, not a single soldier has surrendered. Then I have to tell you that the 'right cardinal' of the church will not surrender, even if he is
Die in battle!" "Ning Yuan" roared.
At this moment, he actually looked like an arrogant, tragic, decent supporting character who was about to die with a sense of justice, showing a righteous and awe-inspiring expression.
Immediately afterwards, the strength in his hand increased a bit, forcing Yin Wan to take a few steps back. Half of his right foot had even sunk into the soft ground covered with grass and weeds.
In the dirt.
"I am not a real warrior of the empire, so I don't want to bind you and me with the morality of the empire. To be precise, I am a stranger. I am just an ordinary person who entered here because of a series of conspiracies and confusion. So,
I want to make peace, you and Yin Wan remove the magic source power at the same time, and we leave here peacefully."
"After all, we are all exhausted, and the Imperial soldiers and you Lost Ones have either died here or fled here. No one will record the sins of our private peace negotiations, and neither the Imperial Military Institute nor the Church of the Lost Ones will judge us.
Isn't it beautiful for you and me?" Laite suggested.
"Interesting, haha, really interesting." "Ning Yuan" laughed unbridled and said:
"A foreigner? A foreigner with red magic power? A foreigner with the [Order] profession? A foreigner with the tentacles of the ancient god of the deep sea? Don't be ridiculous, do you think I don't know you? Your information is in
It is not considered a secret among the upper echelons of the three major churches. However, I am not interested in making peace. Of course, it is not for other reasons, but for an unspeakable reason."
"What?" An unpleasant feeling flashed through Laite's mind.
It was awkward, but he couldn't explain it clearly, until "Ning Yuan" looked at him with a slightly confused look, full of strange emotions.
"because I like you."
"From the first time I saw you, I have developed the most noble and ordinary emotions that belong to you humans. As for emotions, I am not willing to part ways with you here. As for the church, you
You should have heard that our three major churches have always regarded 'inviting' you as an important task." "Ning Yuan" said, showing a greedy smile.
Let Laite feel creepy and shocked!
After a few seconds of silence, Laite said after careful consideration:
"I hate all enemies, 'Ning Yuan', aren't you afraid of death?"
As he spoke, Laite stared at Ning Yuan's eyeballs emitting a dull blue light with his pure black eyes, and said seriously, with a stern look like ice in the dark night:
"I'm more afraid of the lack of 'love' than death. The only [Goddess of Love] in the three major churches, Ms. Natasha, has died. Those children of the lost and semi-lost who were forced to live in the human world are already in or
Wandering, or being forced to join the Imperial Army."
"Every individual intelligent creature has the right to pursue its own happiness. Moreover, many of them have not harmed any human beings like the 'unintentional people'. I know that the empire's general offensive has begun, and the aluminum bomb attack is only the first
After a wave, there will soon be an even more intense artillery attack.
Any divination shows that we will suffer a disaster, unless we can enter the center of the highland before you do and ask the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element' for strength. But you should...should think about this question."
"What's the problem?" Laite seemed to be shaken by what "Ning Yuan" said. Inadvertently, his hand holding the pistol began to feel tired and trembled slightly.
"Even if the humans in the empire are redeemed, what about the Lost? We [Warriors] of the Lost are indeed responsible for the war, but what about those children? Who will redeem them? The Lord? Or the True Lord? Or in other words, the Creator.
?”
"Just because of a 'mysterious and extraordinary power', we are forced to become two hostile races. This is inherently unfair!"
"Ning Yuan" roared, and his sapphire-like eyes quickly turned into a red existence, like a gargoyle.
Immediately afterwards, he quickly surged up all the remaining strength in his body and poured it all into the "giant drill".
With a powerful blow, the vines wrapped around the "drill" were instantly shattered and turned into a pool of green viscous liquid.
His strength was almost exhausted, and Yin Wan, who had no time to use other methods, was ejected and fell to the ground.
Immediately, Ning Yuan, who quickly stepped forward, held his throat again, losing the possibility of continuing to fight.
"Laite! Huh, huh." The panting "Ningyuan" stepped on Yin Wan's chest with his foot, looked back at Laite and said:
tomato
"Follow me to the 'Church of Giants', if you want, to the 'Bloodlight' Castle of the 'Church of Dark Night', or to the 'Silent Star Castle' of the Church of Hope. I need you to open the realm of gods, you
The red magic source power is the crucial 'key'!"
"What if I refuse? 'Ning Yuan', your strength has been exhausted, I can easily end your life!" Laite changed the direction of the "Bear Bear" pistol and kept aiming it at the chest of "Ning Yuan"
Actions.
However, the next second, he felt an extreme coldness approaching his body.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Don't move!" The voice of the wind came from Li Te's back.
At some point, Feng woke up. At this moment, he was holding an awl made of ice, dripping with tiny drops of water, covered with a layer of snow, and pressed it against his neck.
"What are you going to do, Feng?" Laite reacted immediately and asked.
"Do you still remember our agreement? Brother Laite? Restore the order of the world and build a peaceful, beautiful and hopeful new world, right? Without the blessing of the power of the gods, if people of all races cannot coexist peacefully, one party will
How can this world be considered beautiful when one party is oppressed and enjoys benefits?" Feng Qing coughed and continued in a low tone:
"Brother Laite, come with us. If you don't want to go to the Church of Giants with that lunatic 'Ning Yuan' who 'likes' you, then come with me to the Church of Dark Night. What 'Ning Yuan' just said made me laugh.
If you hear it, I will help you meet Brother Brett. I have the power."
"Why did you lie to me?" Laite asked with confusion and trembling in his tone.
"I seem to have had a long dream, brother Laite. The attack of 'Ning Yuan' just now made me remember my own identity. It's true that I am Feng, and I am a semi-lost person, but 'Feng' is just a code name.
, it’s not even a name. My real identity is ‘Xue Mu’, the cardinal of the Church of the Dark Night who controls ‘water’ and ‘snow’. The old man was right, I have always smelled of ‘snow’.
!”
"So, you have to coerce... coerce me into joining the Lost Ones and betraying the empire?" Laite asked angrily.
"It's not coercion or betrayal, it's an invitation. Let's go to the Lake of Silence together, go to the arena and temple there, and after finding the area where the 'Vita Water' is located, we will go to the realm of gods together to find out about the 'Daughter of the Mechanical Element'
.This is your goal too, isn’t it?”
"You are right." Laite responded, showing his helplessness.
"Actually, our castle was originally built underground near the Lake of Silence. We have been trying to use the ore to truly find the location of the gods' domain. Follow me and go to our Church of the Dark Night. You will be closer to the gods and the truth here.
.Come on...brother!"
Listening to Feng, no, "Xue Mu"'s boyish requesting voice, Laite sighed slightly.
Looking up at the occasionally twinkling stars and the "Crimson Moon" hanging high in the sky in dark blue tones, feeling the breeze mixed with the fishy and burning smell, he began to close his eyes tightly and think.
A few seconds passed, and he chose to put down the "Crazy Bear" pistol, and the hand holding the gun hung down on the right side of his body.
After nodding slightly, he opened his eyes and stared blankly at the "night world" that seemed to be so long that it belonged to eternity.
