The Tewil River is quite unsettled tonight. There seems to be an undercurrent under the dark water, and the skeletons that have been buried deep in the river for many years due to various accidents or man-made conspiracies are now alive again, opening a pair of miserable green eyes.
He stared at the people confronting each other on the river, as if resenting that they could always stand in the light and never see a trace of stain hidden in the darkness. But what those ancient resentful souls could not witness was that the light was also disappearing.
The silver moon in the sky gradually rose, and I don’t know when it disappeared into the depths of the thick clouds. The Tewil River lost its moonlight, and the shadows of all the characters, including the shadows of buildings, the outline of the river bank, and the distance
Tower Bridge... all turned into silent leaden blocks.
The knight with black hair and brown eyes raised his head and glanced at the blond saint. He was tall and burly, with a thick armor and a sword and shield in his hand, giving people a sense of security like a mountain, immovable in danger, but his eye sockets were deep.
Under the sunken, sparse eyebrows are a pair of dim eyes. They look like they are exhausted after experiencing several fierce battles, but they still have to force themselves to stand up and face this cruel battlefield. At this moment,
The saint also raised her gaze to meet his gaze. Unlike the knight, the emotions revealed more in the latter's sea-blue eyes were guilt, self-blame and deep gratitude.
Even in the forged history - or in other words, the history known to ordinary people, the mechanical saint Mide of the Steam Order and the Holy Knight Dayan have always been bound, as if one of them appeared in the scene
, there will never be a shortage of another person. From when the saint spreads the gospel of steam to the believers, the knight silently watches not far behind her, to when the knight attacks the believers of the evil god, the saint personally steps on the dangerous battlefield to heal him...
…It wasn’t until the Steam Jihad that this pair of closely related partners or lovers parted ways and each took a different path. The inside story of this is also a mystery that many historians have been tirelessly exploring but have never been able to solve.
Only a few people can transcend the fog of history and see the lost truth.
After the two looked at each other silently for a while, they withdrew their gaze at the same time, then turned around and saluted tacitly, paying respect to the leader above. Dayang, the Saint Knight, held his sword in his left hand and knelt down on one knee to perform the knight salute, while the Mechanical Saint
The female Midea put her right hand on her chest and slightly bent her knees to perform religious rituals.
"Long time no see, Mide, Dayang." The corners of Tiandis's mouth slowly curved, and she seemed a little happy: "I didn't expect that I would be able to fight side by side with you one day. To be honest, I didn't.
It is one of the few regrets I have so far that I did not have time to give you the code name of a philosopher while you are still alive."
This means that Dayang and Midai have already reached the standards of association philosophers. It was only the sudden Steam Holy War that led history to another completely opposite path, and they still failed to do so until they died on that cruel battlefield.
Obtaining the code name of a philosopher, is this what "Ungiven Philosopher" means?
Saint Midea smiled slightly, and Knight Dayan slowly shook his head. Both of them used this method to show that they did not care about such trivial matters, because like their like-minded companions, they all followed ideals rather than following illusions.
of honor.
"It seems that I am a little paranoid." Tiandis said: "In this case, you might as well lend me your power again. Although it is indeed unpleasant to repeat the past history, as I just said
, only by overcoming your own mistakes can you move toward maturity. Now, it's your turn to prove this."
The last words were obviously meant for Gloria and a group of outsiders, because her gaze had been cast far away, and across the wide surface of the Tewil River, Gloria saw those dark eyes.
There was an unquestionable calmness buried deep in his eyes: "I activate Midea's effect. When this card and [Saint Knight - Dayang] are on the field at the same time, I can activate it to remove a continuous magic spell from the deck.
The card [Ingmar's Codex] is placed in your own magic trap area."
Saint Maiden raised the staff in her hand high and pointed towards the void behind her. The gears on the top of the staff suddenly made a clicking sound, and the place on the miniature steam engine that originally sprayed out the hot white mist suddenly released a long beam of faint purple.
Pure light. The beam fell in the darkness, and along the space between the bridge and the water surface, it outlined a thick code that seemed to be made of steel. The code faced everyone and slowly opened along the middle, but it gave people a strange feeling.
It was like opening a book, or like a tightly-locked mechanical door being opened with a key. It made the sound of gears meshing and bearings rotating. Small brass pipes on the spine of the book ran along the cover.
The complex and deep lines on the top extend, and the milky white gas is discharged at the end, creating a sea of steaming steam, as if there is an invisible steam engine hidden in the code.
Everyone held their breath. When the black code was slowly opened, they saw that there was nothing on the papers, only a dark purple prism crystal floating quietly in its arms, emitting a wave of light.
Circles of mysterious and profound phantom light.
[Ingmar's Secret Code/Sustainable Magic]
[This card cannot leave the field and is not affected by the effects of other cards. As long as this card exists on the field, when you activate a ritual magic card, your opponent cannot activate the effects of monsters, magic, or trap cards. In order to satisfy the ritual
Cards on the field, in hand, or in the graveyard that are removed to activate the magic card can also be removed from the card side in your deck instead. The effect of this card name can only be used once per duel, and the ritual magic card is activated.
When successful, for every two cards excluded from face-down to meet the activation requirements, one card from the opponent's field, hand, or deck will be randomly selected and sent to the graveyard. Therefore, the card sent to the graveyard by the effect and the card with the same name will be sent to the graveyard until
Before the end of this duel, the effect will be invalidated.】
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "It is said that after the Steam Crusade, there are still some madmen wandering in Platinum City who are wandering with crazy thoughts and firmly believe that the reverse flow of time and space will guide them to the correct future. They call themselves 'Time and Space Ingma'
', and this "Ingmar Secret Code" is the scripture they use to spread this stupid idea to all living beings. It's funny, isn't it? Because people always want to move forward, but they are willing to trap themselves in the past.
in the river.”
Tiandis said coldly, her voice had unknowingly taken on a convincing plainness, as if any sentence uttered from her mouth was the undoubted truth. Since she commented on the time and space Yingge
The believers of Ma are a group of foolish lunatics. That is their nature, and there is no other possibility.
"Then, I activate Dayan's effect. When this card and [Mechanical Saint-Mide] are on the field at the same time, I can activate it to add a ritual magic card [Mechanical Goddess] from the deck to my hand.
Card."
The knight with black hair and brown eyes inserted the heavy giant sword into the dark river with his backhand, and silently pressed the switch on the hilt. Then, the built-in micro steam furnace ran at full power, and endless steam spewed out, gradually filling the surrounding area.
It was a sea of scorching white. The river water began to gurgling and boiling as if it were being boiled. The roaring sound of the steam furnace was like the roar of a giant beast at the bottom of the river, tearing open a deep crack. In the crack, there was a piece of stone that seemed to have been weathered and eroded for countless years.
Thick stone slabs slowly emerged from the white mist.
When it gradually rose to the highest altitude, everyone heard a crisp clicking sound, and a crack visible to the naked eye split along the middle of the stone slab and spread rapidly, like a spider web of dense and complex cracks occupying the entire stone slab.
Behind the surface, everything suddenly shattered, revealing the inner part sealed by rocks and dust: it was a huge magic card, with a majestic and majestic figure depicted on the card, who was bathed in countless sacred white lights.
It's clearly just a back view, it's clearly just a picture, but it gives people a distant, solemn, solemn and holy feeling.
Tiandis stretched out her hand, and the ritual magic card floating in the air quickly shrank and fell into her palm. Tiandis gently pinched it with the index and middle fingers of her other hand, put it in front of her eyes and looked at it carefully.
It seems that something can be seen from the sacred back depicted on the card.
At this moment, the air seemed to be stagnant. Even Alice, the slowest and most stubborn person, could notice that the atmosphere was a bit stiff. Not only did her friends show nervous expressions, but also the mechanical saint Mide and the Holy Knight on the opposite side.
Dayan's expression became strange. Should he say it was serious or solemn?
"Ritual magic card? What does she want to summon?" The genius player held his chin and thought: "The mistake made by the Witch Association? The most dangerous and difficult enemy? Also, why do the names Midai and Dayan sound so so?
Familiar?"
"I really didn't expect that one day I would see you in this way again." Tiandis said softly, as if talking to himself or talking to the majestic giant shadow in Kathu: "In fact, from that battle
After it's over, I hope you won't have any chance to come back to this world in the future, but... this is a game after all, so it shouldn't matter."
"Just use your power to tell those people who still have innocence and illusions in their hearts what the price is for realizing their ideals."
Tiandis slowly raised the card above his head and said calmly: "Then, I activate the ritual magic card [Deus ex machina]."
coming!
Gloria couldn't help but hold her breath. A nervous look appeared in the eyes of Saint Shalia on the field. Rorona clenched her palms tightly, feeling that the Origin Stone in her right eye was throbbing uncontrollably.
She stood there, but not because of excitement or fear, but because of some more primitive and pure instinct that even she couldn't explain clearly. In the opponent's monster area, Saint Midea and Knight Dayan raised their heads in unison,
Looking into the distant and ignorant depths of the night, I found that the dark clouds covering the Tewil River had dissipated at some point, but there was no silver moon in the sky, and there were no stars, as if they had predicted the future scene in advance, so they fled in a hurry
Here, the quiet night is abandoned and desolate.
Including Ringer, the other behind-the-scenes souls who have not yet entered the duel arena can only watch with ideology, but they can smell an unusual atmosphere from the reactions of these people. Only Alice is still so nervous.
He looked around, confused: "What, what, what happened? So what kind of monster is Tiandis going to summon?"
"It's not a monster." The corner of the black-haired girl's mouth traced a playful arc: "It's a god - although I hate those evil gods and false gods, including the god of conception that religious fanatics long for day and night, in my eyes
They are just worms attached to fear and belief. Only this guy, I am willing to admit that he may indeed have some divinity in him. Although he has used it in the wrong direction, he cannot be blamed. After all,
The so-called god of believers is only born to respond to the call of believers."
While speaking, she gently pressed the magic card in her hand on the duel plate, and said slowly: "The ritual magic card [Mechanical Goddess] can only exist on your own field at the same time as [Mechanical Saint-Mide] and [Shengchuang]"
Knight - Dayang] can be activated. According to the effect of this card, in order to meet the need for the arrival of ritual monsters, a total of twenty-two monster cards in the hand, field and graveyard must be eliminated. However, because there are 22 monster cards in my field,
Because of the permanent magic card [Ingmar's Codex], you can remove the face-side cards from the deck instead. Therefore, I removed the top twenty-two cards from the deck to activate this card."
After the words fell, cards flew out one after another from the deck of Tiandis' duel disk, but they were not sent to the excluded area as Tiantis said, but burned directly in mid-air.
The ashes spread like black snowflakes one after another, gradually blending into the night and disappearing without a trace.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Those cards -" Gloria opened her eyes in surprise when she saw this scene, and her eyes flashed frequently, indicating that the girl was not in a calm mood at the moment.
I didn't expect Tiandis to be so cruel as to do something so cruel: "Don't they represent the emotions between you and your companions? In order to win, are you willing to abandon these precious things?"
"Because this is reality." Tiandis looked indifferent, her face even looked a little indifferent among the flying black snowflakes. Maybe this is her nature: "If you don't give something, you will lose something.
You have to sacrifice something to win. Nothing in the real world is that cheap. What’s more, what is abandoned is just the appearance. The really important things have been kept here by me. "
She pointed to her head, which meant: memory.
Anyone can sacrifice, anyone can lose everything and fly away, leaving those who are still alive to continue to adhere to their ideals, but memory is a thing that is inherited with time. Sometimes the longer it is, the thinner it becomes, and sometimes it is just the opposite.
The more it accumulates, the more unforgettable it becomes. Tiandis is obviously the latter. If not, there would not be so many deceased philosophers in her deck. Since she is on the same path of great achievements as them, she will always be the same.
and bear their expectations and long-cherished wishes.
Sacrifice and ideals, mistakes and growth have never been a pair of antonyms. On the contrary, they are so close that they are indistinguishable from each other. But for this reason, Miss Gloria, who has lost her soul, and your friends who have just met
, will you understand?
"That's so sad." Gloria whispered, her gray bangs covering her eyes: "Memory alone is not enough. Sometimes the more memories you have, the sadder it becomes..."
A soul that escapes its original wishes.
Tiandis slowly raised her head and saw that the sky above her head was breaking. A heart-stopping aura gradually came. She grinned: "Then let the outcome of this battle prove this point, Miss Gloria."
.If you want me to believe that you are right, then try to defeat me. The premise is-overcome this mistake."
Without waiting for Gloria's answer, she raised her hand and pointed straight at the sky, her voice distant and ethereal:
"The aggregation of steel and gears, the master of machinery and time."
"Reality beyond reality, reason beyond reason."
"What is absolutely pure is order, and what is flawless is eternity."
"I woke you up from the chaotic vortex of time and space because I know that you are also looking forward to this moment."
"You have never lived, but you have never died; you have never returned, but you have never left."
"Now, cross the end of endless time, tear the boundaries of infinite space, and move forward to your utopia again."
