This is the first time the Water God has spoken with a heartfelt tone of indignation. Although she is already tens of thousands of years old, and although she is facing two people who have just met, the Water God does not hide the hatred and contempt in her tone.
.
Seeing the expression on Water God's face, Cohen couldn't help but laugh. Water God's lovely, slightly reproachful eyes rested on Cohen. He hurriedly explained, "It's not because of anything else. I just couldn't help but think about the fact that Water God also has such a disgusting object.
I'm just laughing, because others say that the older you are, the less likely you are to get angry. From this point of view, Lord Water God, you are still very young... How about I call you sister? Or you can call me sister instead."
"Why, His Highness Cohen is relying on his own aura with the source of life, and he is going to treat this place as a false sacred mountain to make trouble again? But this is a place of sleep, and I am not the one with a weak head.
Princess False God, I have rich experience in dealing with disobedient naughty people." The smile returned to the water god's face, and he slowly walked to Cohen's side, and with lightning speed, he stretched out his hand and twisted Cohen's ears, "
Your Highness, tell me yourself, do you know that you are wrong?"
The Water God tried to twist the emperor's ears, but Bai Ying, as a bodyguard, had no choice. The Water God's status was much higher than hers, and Bai Ying also hoped in her heart that someone could control this lawless and arrogant emperor.
"Since Your Excellency, the Water God, calls me His Highness, he considers himself to be of a slightly lower status. So, do you think it's appropriate to pull my ears?" Cohen folded his hands in a leisurely manner and excused himself softly, "I just saw that the atmosphere was too...
It's serious, I just made a little joke to liven up the atmosphere, okay, if you let go now, Lord Water God, I will never hold a grudge."
"But didn't His Highness address me as Your Excellency? That means that His Highness still thinks that our status is equal in His heart. Besides, the punishment of pulling the ears can only be used by the elders!" The water god answered Cohen with a smile, and gently pointed his finger.
He put it on Cohen's ear, but looking at the sincere expression on Cohen's face, how could he be willing to squeeze it hard?
"It's true that His Excellency the Water God is tens of thousands of years old, but how can he be regarded as my elder?" Cohen has always been cunning, how could he let someone put a junior's hat on his head casually, "The so-called elders must at least look after him.
When the juniors grow up, they are always caring and caring. They never hesitate to give them what they ask for. They are the kind of people who will not punish the juniors if they do something wrong..."
"Is this what counts as an elder?" After listening to Cohen's words, the smile on the water god's face became even thicker. "Excuse me, Your Highness Cohen, if I watched you being born and saved your life when you were a child, I would count it as such.
Doesn’t it count as your elder?”
"We are discussing a serious issue." Cohen looked at the Water God seriously, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Because we discovered His Highness's characteristics when His Highness's mother was pregnant, we have been with Him every step of His Highness's life. Your Highness Cohen still thinks that he is born with no danger of any danger?" Water God let go.
Cohen's ear, his finger pointed at Cohen's forehead again, "You little rascal, you almost drowned in the moat when you were six years old, fell out of a tree when you were eight years old, and you didn't even think about it when you made a bet and climbed the cliff.
, why do you catch grass roots and branches every time you reach out? When you were ten years old..."
"That's enough, that's enough, my beloved elder." Cohen glanced at the expressionless white figure, grabbed the water god's hand, and rarely admitted defeat in his life, "We can communicate these things privately, there is no need to do it now.
explain……"
"Are you finally willing to admit it? It's really not easy! I am the youngest among the four gods, and there are always people who bully me because of their age. Now I finally have a junior!" The Water God was very proud, clapped his hands and said, "But
, Your Highness should always call me sister!"
There was an elder sister for no reason. Cohen was a little bit dumbfounded, but he couldn't do anything except nodding obediently. Bai Ying on the other side had been laughing in his stomach for a long time. Cohen kicked the iron plate.
, but it’s rare!
"I know so many secrets of His Highness, His Highness must be very strange, right?" The Water God was happy enough, and then he took Cohen's hand and continued walking upwards, "Actually, I have three clones, one is overseas, and the other is in the lake here.
, there is another one who has always been guarding His Highness. But in order to prevent the false gods from discovering it, this clone has almost no power and is not enough to interfere with human behavior, so when His Highness was injured at the altar of the Holy City, the clone was powerless. We are trying to find a way.
, but you were cured by the Dragon Clan."
"Now that I think about it, some things are really strange. When I know that my survival was not due to luck, I feel a little disappointed! Maybe for me, unknown things are more tempting!" Cohen shook his head.
, if you feel touched, say: "Thank you so much for taking care of me all the time. So is the third clone here now? Let her show up!"
"She stayed in the Holy City because not long ago, she found a suitable attachment partner who can take better care of you." The Water God smiled, "Don't be impatient. When you need her to appear, she will naturally do it."
Appear."
"In this way, I still don't understand a little bit." Cohen stopped, "Since the clone is always by my side, why don't I let her tell me everything? Why do I have to work so hard to find the answers to all the questions? If it had been earlier
Tell me, there are many things I can arrange more carefully."
"Although I am the Water God, I don't actually understand human struggles, but you, Your Highness, are different. One of your missions when you were born into the world is to fight against all living beings. Even if you are the one we are waiting for, we will
I have to wait until you have the ability to fight before I can see you and tell you something, otherwise your situation will become very dangerous. Not only will you not be able to help us, but you may even lose your life." The Water God replied sternly, "Now
Your Highness, you have an empire and the ability to fight with others, so we met. If you want to know more, you have to prove your ability in another aspect."
"Ability on the other hand?" Cohen scratched his head, "Is it the mischief and weirdness that I am best at?"
"No!" A strong male voice answered Cohen from the steps above, "The other aspect of the ability that the Water God mentioned is the ability that you have always hoped for, the ability to fight against false gods!"
This sentence was like a bolt of lightning, striking straight into Cohen's mind, causing his mind to tumble.
Looking up, there was a man on the first platform of the pyramid. At the moment before, there was nothing there, but he appeared in the blink of an eye.
"You see! This is the God of Fire." The God of Water took Cohen's hand and quickly walked up to the first platform and came to the God of Fire. "Lie Yan, don't you want to receive Cohen on the third platform?"
Your Highness? Why did you come to the first platform?"
"I'm just worried that you are playful and can't explain many things clearly." The Fire God moved to the side and distanced himself from the Water God, as if he didn't like to get too close to the Water God.
"You want to lie to me again. Don't I know about your fiery and impatient personality? You are obviously eager to see what His Highness Cohen is like." Water God said while poking Vulcan's arm with his finger, "Isn't that right?
?Yes or no?"
Every time the Water God's finger pokes, a little white smoke will appear on the Vulcan's arm, and his brow will twitch. His footsteps keep moving, and he has reached the edge of the platform, but his face is full of honesty.
The helpless expression of the unreasonable little girl made Cohen secretly laugh. Fortunately, after a while, the water god got tired of poking, so he asked the fire god to come over and talk to Cohen.
"His Royal Highness Cohen is well, I am the God of Fire." The God of Fire is a young man with red hair, a tall body and a very powerful look. "We have been waiting for your Highness to come for a long time. We have been looking forward to this moment for a long time.
After twenty years, with the blessing of the source of life, you have finally grown strong enough to take on the mission. Please be ready to accept the test, Your Highness!"
"I am Cohen Keda." After dealing with the God of Vulcan concisely and saluting again, Cohen looked at the two gods in front of him and used selective amnesia magic, not answering the God of Vulcan's words about accepting the test at all, "
I finally met the legendary ancient god, so what’s next? Should everyone celebrate with a drink?”
"Your Highness is joking." Vulcan replied seriously, "We are fulfilling our mission and accompanying His Highness up."
"Is it just a matter of walking up?" Cohen looked up, "Although the stairs are a bit long, there's no need for both of you to accompany me, right?"
"Because His Highness is the first guest here, we don't know exactly what will happen on the way. It is possible that His Highness will be able to go up soon, but it is also possible that he will never be able to go up." Vulcan shook his head, "
All the rules here were decided by the source of life before it fell asleep. We guard this place but have never experienced it. We have not even gone to the highest level. Although we have high hopes for His Highness, in fact, we can't help much. All possibilities
It's all in His Highness's own hands."
"Your Excellency Vulcan is saying that this pyramid has some secrets that even you don't know. No one has known about it for tens of thousands of years?" Cohen was a little unbelievable. "Even you haven't gone up to the highest level, so how do you know the secrets of life?"
Is the source still there?”
"All our power comes from the source of life. If something happens to her, we will no longer exist." The Water God explained with a smile, "There were some people who came in before, but they were not guests and could only stay in the house.
Go ashore outside. Even if you force your way onto the pyramid outside, there is only one ending. Knowing that His Highness is pressed for time, why not let’s talk while walking."
Cohen nodded and wanted to go up through the platform, but was blocked by an invisible magic barrier on the side of the platform. The Vulcan beside him stretched out his hand, "If you want to get to the second platform, you must uncover forty magic seals.
Your Highness, please come this way."
"Forty?" Cohen pursed his lips, followed Vulcan's footsteps, and complained: "Isn't the number a bit too much?
Vulcan led everyone to the other side of the pyramid, and finally stopped in front of a set of huge reliefs. Then facing the reliefs, he first stretched out his hand and pressed it on a protruding stone pillar, then turned to Cohen and said: "Your Highness, please
Put your hand on this raised stone, then close your eyes and calmly wait for the vision to happen."
"What happens after that? Am I going to disappear for no reason and never come back?" Although Cohen raised his right hand, he refused to put it down. "I think this kind of thing can be discussed...
"The Water God blinked, and Cohen's raised palm was pressed down by an invisible force. Before he could react, the skin of his palm came into contact with the cold surface of the relief.
Looking at the God of Fire on the other side, although he closed his eyes, the red hair on his head slowly stood up, and finally turned into flames with a "whoosh", rising violently and burning.
Although he knew that the other party was Vulcan, how could Cohen follow the instructions of "close your eyes and calm down" when he saw a living person with a fire on his head? His other hand pointed at Vulcan's head, his eyes widened with a strange expression.
Extremely—could this be what they call a “vision”?
Cohen was cooling off when he suddenly felt a chill in his heart. He lowered his head and saw a sharp tip of a knife coming out of his chest. After a while, a circle of bright red blood spread on the silver dress. When he turned his head, Cohen looked at him with doubtful eyes.
Catching a blank white figure, it was the dagger in her hand that penetrated Cohen's body. Although it was not clear what happened, the sharp blade that penetrated her chest was right in front of her. The severe pain did not come from the wound.
But it comes from deep inside, the pain of being betrayed by the person closest to you and whom you trust.
The hands on the relief supported his body, and Cohen gritted his teeth and said: "Bai Ying..."
"The one you should question is us, not her." The Water God was tidying up his clothes while changing his appearance, turning into a woman that Cohen had never seen before. "Cohen Keda
, at the last moment of your life, I will let you die in peace. Idiot, how can there be any gods in this world? There are only demon generals. I am the third demon general. This so-called fire god is me.
Assistant..."
"I, I don't believe it." After coughing out a mouthful of blood, Cohen shook his head. Although he had no strength, he said firmly: "Devil General, the Demon General will never come to kill me!"
"One of the tragedies of mankind is arbitrariness and rashness. How do you know that if the first demon general doesn't kill you, the third demon general won't come to kill you? Does it mean that the demon general must do things for the demons?" Third
The Demon General smiled coquettishly, "Besides, you died at the hands of your own maid, just like many emperors who died at the hands of women in the past... This can be considered a romantic story!"
"You came here to kill me on your own wishful thinking." Cohen covered the wound with his left hand and smiled, but on his pale face mixed with pain and anger, his expression at the moment already looked extremely ferocious, "But... this young master doesn't
He will die like this!"
"We spent so much manpower and material resources to lure you here. Of course we don't want the ending to be so simple. We also want you to watch us help you take revenge!" The third demon general smiled and said to Bai Ying: "Pull out the dagger.
.”
"Yes, Master," the blank-eyed Bai Ying replied, without considering the consequences at all, he slowly but resolutely pulled the dagger away from Cohen's body - immediately, the blood splattered from the wound dyed Bai Ying's white skin red.
The dress is shocking to the extreme.
"Bai Ying - wake up!" The body fell sideways, and only because his right hand was still firmly stuck to the wall, Cohen did not fall to the ground.
"Are you sad? Do you regret it? Do you feel helpless? What a pity! She can't hear your voice now. You have also experienced the demonization of the demon clan, so you should have experienced it. With your
Although the will can resist, the dragon clan does not yet have it." The third demon general took a step forward, with a strange light shining in his eyes, and continued to order Bai Ying, "Put the dagger into his chest."
"Yes, Master." Bai Ying showed no intention of resisting. With a turn of his wrist, the dagger was inserted into his chest. The moment before it was inserted into his chest, Cohen, who was only half alive, suddenly burst into flames and stretched out his hand to grab it.
The dagger's edge was blocked, and although it prevented the dagger from being castrated, it was only temporary... not to mention that the third demon general raised his hand and pinched Bai Ying's neck from the air.
"What a touching scene, it can bring tears to the eyes of those crazy men and resentful women!" Watching the bright red blood sliding down the blade, gathering into drops on the tip of the dagger, and falling bit by bit on the clothes on Bai Ying's chest, the third
The three demon generals smiled and ordered Bai Ying to increase his strength, and teased Cohen: "If I were you, I would just cut off one of my arms and escape first, why should I care about the life and death of a maid!"
"Okay..." Cohen looked at the third demon general expressionlessly, "What a great idea!"
The long-awaited fighting spirit burst out in his left hand. Cohen violently tore off his right hand from his wrist. At the same time, he stepped on the stone wall to use his strength to rush forward. After hugging Bai Ying, the dagger held in his left hand was turned out, and the dagger in his left hand was exposed.
A sharp blade directly struck the third demon general's eye. This move was premeditated, and the demon general had no time to react, so he had to retreat quickly. As soon as she retreated, the confused Bai Ying woke up and rushed forward with more force.
kill.
At this time, Cohen had no strength left, and he continued to chase for two more steps before falling to the ground.
Bai Ying woke up and knew the details of the whole incident in an instant. The power she exerted in her anger made Cohen, who fell on the ground and was semi-conscious, speechless. Her body turned into a white curtain of confused light.
The Demon General was completely wrapped, and the light curtain rotated at an extremely fast speed. The Demon General's figure was almost invisible. The sounds of fists breaking through the air and fierce collisions were heard frequently, showing how dangerous the fight in the light curtain was. Light
The curtain moved rapidly, destroying all the railings and floors wherever it passed. After approaching the relief, the entire wall was deeply sunk, with rubble flying and bricks and tiles dancing.
The Demon General's assistant couldn't stand it anymore and rushed up from where he was standing to help the Demon General. When he stepped over and flew over Cohen, his left foot was grabbed by Cohen - and he was lying on the ground desperately.
After so long, Cohen was betting on this moment. If Bai Ying couldn't force the Demon General in the right direction, and if the Demon General's assistant didn't fall for the trick again, Cohen would really faint!
Using all his strength, Cohen raised his body in the air and kicked out the most perfect sneak attack combination in his life. The golden fighting spirit shone brightly between the chest and abdomen of the Demon General's assistant, and the strong air flow pushed
The clothes on his body were blown apart, and his whole body spun and flew back. After the violent movement, Cohen's wound began to spurt blood again - the moment Bai Ying woke up, the wound was treated by her
After a while, due to a large amount of blood loss, Cohen's vision has become very blurred, and his hands and feet are cold. Not to mention continuing to fight, if he is not treated, his life will end here. At this point, Cohen can only
I hope that the attack I just made will be effective.
After spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, the Demon General's assistant, whose bones were almost broken by the kick, slowly stood up against the wall, moved step by step towards a relief sculpture in front, and stared at a button on it——
Although Cohen couldn't see clearly what it was, it was definitely not a good thing for a person who was about to finish playing and tried to get as close as possible.
Gritting his teeth, Cohen used up his last strength to rush forward. This was the last strength, an attack at the cost of his life!
The rapid impact was astonishingly fast, but the Demon General's assistant's countermeasures were also amazing, allowing Cohen to pass directly through his body - just like penetrating nothing special about the air.
.
"Asshole!" Cohen, who put his hands on the ground, suddenly turned his head and cursed angrily, "What a fucking bastard!"
After scolding, the great king of a country stopped talking. He first looked at his intact hands, then at everyone in good health in front of him, then at his chest, then stood up and jumped, and then he
Initiate Leng Lai.
"Who is your Highness Cohen scolding?" The water god with a questioning expression walked over and stretched out his hand to touch Cohen's forehead, "Are you scared by the illusion?"
"This...this..." Cohen shook his head, looking at everything in front of him, and recalling what had just happened, and said with some embarrassment: "It's hard to say, it's hard to say."
"It must be very hard to break the seal!" The Water God took out a silk scarf, "Your Highness is sweating on his head..."
"More than that, His Highness's heartbeat has become very rapid." The Vulcan on the side replied, "The first seal has been released."
"Untied?" Cohen frowned, "How long did it take?"
The Water God smiled, stretched out a slender white finger, and replied: "In an instant."
"A moment!" Cohen jumped up, "During this moment, did anything strange happen here? Bai Ying, did you move? Water God, did you ever speak? Fire God, did your hair change?
Burn?"
Both Water God and Bai Ying looked at Cohen with some surprise. Vulcan himself acted more innocently. His red hair was well draped on the back of his head, and even the hairband was still there. Is there any sign of burning? Cohen looked around.
Look, and finally looked at Bai Ying with questioning eyes, but the latter remained silent and shook his head slightly.
"Probably it's because His Highness Cohen didn't close his eyes." The Water God explained: "His Highness didn't close his eyes as instructed, which would have caused the illusion to overlap with the reality in front of him. Fortunately, the strength of the first seal was not strong, otherwise
Your Highness Cohen is in danger. I once heard that the first seal was about betrayal!"
"Betrayal? No way! Maybe there was a mistake somewhere." Cohen smiled awkwardly and suppressed his unhappiness. "I will close my eyes next time, I promise."
"Then please come with me, Your Highness." Vulcan walked directly to the second relief to prepare for starting. Cohen also put away his joking expression, walked to the front of the relief and stood up, carefully looking at the simple patterns on it, and then
He exhaled a breath and placed his right hand on the raised stone pillar. When the coldness came from his palm, he had already closed his eyes.
It was like being transported to a place of nothingness, surrounded by darkness, and the endless darkness pressed in. It was impossible to escape, and it felt heavy and depressing. After groping in the darkness for a long time, a trace of light appeared in front of Cohen.
Through the slender gap of light, a vague voice sounded faintly, distant and unfamiliar, "Use fire magic to burst out with rage, and you can break the barrier."
He was prepared for everything, but he didn't expect the second seal to be so ordinary, which made Cohen a little bit dumbfounded. But no matter what, he still had to follow the instructions. Cohen shot out more than twenty huge dazzling fireballs with both hands.
They flew out one after another and hit the slender gap one after another. In the violent splash of sparks, the gap gradually expanded, and the light transmitted became stronger and stronger. The darkness surrounding them was dispersed by the white light.
...Finally, the white light in front of me returned to the appearance of a relief, and a fiery red rune slowly appeared in the center of the relief.
Cohen turned his head and saw Bai Ying and Water God looking at him with concerned faces. He knew that his consciousness had returned to reality and he had successfully unlocked the second seal. He took back his hand and remembered that he had been groping in the dark for a long time. Cohen
He asked Bai Ying, "How long did it take me?"
"It was just a moment." Bai Ying replied, "I didn't even move my body."
"Unlocking these seals doesn't seem to be difficult." Cohen suddenly became energetic and said to Vulcan with a smile: "Let's continue."
Vulcan nodded and continued to open the seal. There are ten reliefs on this side. Except for the first seal that scared Cohen half to death, each of the other reliefs will produce a completely different illusion, although the specific test methods are different.
They are the same, but they all need to use fire magic to unlock them. From the most basic anger surge to the protective flame body, especially the last relief illusion, it is almost a collection of the previous eight testing techniques, which must be used
These magic combinations are enough to knock down a Vulcan illusion.
However, no matter how much time Cohen spent in the illusion, in the eyes of the two gods and Bai Ying, Cohen unlocked the seal in an instant. When all ten fiery red runes appeared, the entire group
The relief disappeared in full view of everyone. Originally, the first layer of seals should be opened by the God of Fire, but the God of Water was happy to see it, clapped his hands and walked over with a smile, took over the role of the God of Fire as the guide, and led Cohen around the corner.
On the side where the water god is responsible, all the seals in the relief illusion need to be unlocked using wind magic. Walking around the pyramid platform, Cohen unlocked all forty seals. But to be fair, except for the first seal
In addition, Cohen feels that it is not difficult to unlock these seals. It is even a bit easy. As long as you have the level of a high-level magician, you can pass it. Not to mention Cohen, even the elf magicians under Cohen can do it.
Can pass these tests - if these can still be called tests.
He untied all the forty seals in one go, and the magic barrier that sealed the stairs appeared. It flashed for a few times, and then gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. The Water God walked over in surprise and stood on the upward steps.
, turned around and said to everyone: "It has really disappeared! We are one step closer to the source of life. Everyone, walk faster. Your Highness Cohen, you have to work hard!"
"There are nine seals in this group. It should be much more difficult than the seals below. Your Highness Cohen, please be ready." When they arrived at the relief on the second level platform, Vulcan pressed on the stone pillar and said to Cohen in a deep voice: "
start."
Cohen breathed out gently, preparing to enter the sealed illusion - after a strong light flashed, Cohen entered a dark space again. After a few breaths, a faint red light dripped down from the endless void, and made no sound.
The light penetrated into the ground. While Cohen was still looking at this red light, it began to deform and extended into a long and thin red line.
"This is..." Before he finished speaking, the red line began to flash. With a loud noise, the red line turned into a blazing wall of fire in front of Cohen's eyes. Fierce flames spewed out from the ground, and the scorching flames
The waves hit his face, making it almost impossible to breathe. Cohen was startled, and subconsciously grabbed the knife with his right hand, but missed it. He had no choice but to jump up to slightly avoid the flames.
To Cohen's surprise, the flames burning below suddenly exploded, and the flames spiraled upward, as if they were intelligent creatures, chasing Cohen in the air.
"It's so vicious - this is the Wrath of the God of Destruction!" Cohen finally recognized this legendary advanced fire magic. He looked around, but he didn't even notice that it appeared in the first-level platform seal.
The voice didn't appear here either.
"Life is hard!" Cohen cursed with a wry smile, "It's troublesome!" (To be continued)
