Such a question suddenly appeared in the crowd, which made everyone startled. The chatter stopped, and everyone turned their eyes to Babaan. "It seems to be the maid of that country bumpkin Earl." Babaan.
He replied absently. He was thinking about how to find Count Tonigel to get her over. He didn't know if he would agree. He probably would. The count wouldn't mind having one more friend, especially
This friendship still comes from within the empire, and he is full of confidence in this.
After receiving this answer, the nobles were a little disappointed. She was just a maid of a country earl. It really didn't matter. In normal times, they could make fun of her, but now they were not in the mood. The topic quickly turned back to what they might suffer from Cecil.
Regarding the family's attack and revenge, they began to sigh again, but people are always unwilling to sit still and wait for death. Someone soon said: "This matter was not our responsibility in the first place. If it hadn't been for that country bumpkin Earl who brought us to this ghost place
If we had come, nothing like this would have happened."
This statement was immediately echoed. They completely forgot that they didn't have to follow in. Veronica couldn't restrain their officer corps, and Brando was even more reluctant to bring this gang of burdens. But the person who made the suggestion before would now
The child was lying on the ground and turned into a cold corpse, and they did not dare to put the responsibility on the heir of the Cecil family, so they simply ignored this point.
However, everyone understands that this kind of complaint is meaningless. The Cecil family may be angry with Count Tonigel, but this does not mean that they will not cause trouble for them. This kind of behemoth will not care about little shrimps like them.
Feel.
But among the sighs, a voice suddenly asked tentatively: "Perhaps what Tier and Jon said is right?"
This proposal was like the devil's temptation, causing the valley below the glacier to become quiet.
Everyone was frozen there. Only their eyes were rolling, and no one dared to speak. Their faces were mixed with fear, surprise, disbelief, and a little bit of hope. Tier and Qiong
Well, they are the two heirs of the Cecil family who have become hard and cold - of course, one of them - as for what they said is right, everyone present knows it well.
After a long while, someone answered dryly: "...This, this may be a way, but if it fails, we will face the wrath of both sides."
"What's the difference between one side and two sides? Can a person die twice?" Someone took the lead, and others became bolder.
"Where's the evidence?" someone asked cautiously.
"Evidence. What evidence do we need? We are the officer observation group, and we are the evidence." The person who spoke behind glanced at everyone and replied grimly: "You have all seen it with your own eyes. That Gray Sword Master, he clearly
He is our enemy. But he saved her life. Why? His principality is still within the empire's territory. Will he be willing to do so? There must be some conspiracy in this."
In fact, everyone present felt that this was just Mephisto's gentlemanly behavior. The Gray Sword Saint hated the Empire but did not need to use tricks in such a place. With his character, he would only defeat his enemies openly. But this
For a moment, no one refuted, only someone asked cautiously: "You mean, Veronica conspired with him to restore the country?"
"But what good will this do to her? It doesn't make sense. Her Majesty the Queen is not a fool." Someone shook his head.
"You all have forgotten one thing," the man encouraged: "Mephisto is the teacher of that country bumpkin count. Veronica is very close to that count. They must have some private deal."
"But how can we know the inside story of the transaction? His Majesty cannot just believe our words. She is a genuine legion commander. The empire cannot do anything to her without definite evidence."
"It is precisely because she is the commander of the legion that His Majesty will be even more suspicious. As for the inside story of the transaction, we do not have it now, but we will soon have it."
The man looked in the direction where Akane disappeared, showing his white teeth and smiling coldly.
…
A prismatic platform stretches across the darkness, like an island on a dark lake. Countless pipes extend from all directions, connecting to the base below this platform.
Brando seemed to be enchanted and stayed there. He clearly remembered that when the Frost Fang rushed out of the cliff, he looked back and saw that there was still an invisible abyss like a gaping mouth behind him, but at this moment, this strange platform
It seemed to appear out of thin air, less than three hundred feet below him and the Frost-Eating Giant Insect King. But where is this place? There is absolutely no player in the game who has discovered such a place, and how did this damn platform appear?
Is it because he was too nervous before and saw it wrong? No, this is definitely not the case. Brando suddenly thought of something, and climbed up along the back of the giant insect with his hands and feet. After running about ten meters, he suddenly felt like
Passed through a thin layer of something like a water curtain.
This is it!
He looked back and saw that the unfathomable abyss was still behind him. He took a breath and slowly returned behind the water curtain. The moment he passed through the water curtain, the scenery in front of him seemed to ripple.
, when the vision returned to clearness, the platform indeed appeared in front of me again.
There is no doubt that this is an illusion! There is a huge illusion hidden under this cliff! An uncontrollable shudder passed through Brando's body, and he could understand with his knees that the scene hidden under this illusion was definitely not the best.
It could be some ordinary place. This must be the eternal resting place of Gods that Kou Hua mentioned, which is also the true location of Surashi, the hidden boss in the game.
But he calmed down immediately. The question now is whether to go back the same way or go down and take a look? Logically speaking, the little female dragon should have grabbed the star-shaped stone, and Alek's conspiracy was completely defeated. Now he should not cause trouble.
It is best to get out of this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, find Freya, Akane, Ciel and others, and then wait for Veronica to meet outside. This will not only eliminate the potential threat of Eruin, but also get the Cruz people's information.
Favor can already be said to be a huge profit.
But Brando glanced at the 'abyss' below. There was also another voice in his heart, tempting him like a devil to go down and have a look. Martha, what a rare opportunity this is. Countless players have spent countless
The secret that had eluded him for so long was now right in front of him. He only had to take a few steps back and the legendary boss would appear in front of him.
Brando took a deep breath and took one last look at the platform. But after all, this was no longer in the game. He only had one chance here. Once he made the wrong choice, he would regret it. What's more,
At this moment, he is no longer alone in this temple. There are also Ciel, Medisa, and Freya waiting for him, and outside the temple, his fate has already been linked to that of the Fir Territory.
Connect everyone within.
He only understands one thing: he cannot let down those who rely on him.
Although Brando was extremely agitated, he eventually calmed down. He muttered a pity to himself, turned around, and climbed up along the back of the frost-eating giant insect.
But it was at this time that a slightly contemptuous voice sounded in his heart.
"How timid."
Brando was slightly startled. This was definitely not St. Osol's voice. He subconsciously looked back to find the source of the sound, but he saw an unexpected scene. At that moment, it seemed that there was a strange circle in front of him.
Ripples rippled in the darkness.
It was like an isolated water wave, starting from one point, expanding in all directions, and quickly passed by him.
In a space where time almost stands still.
Brando suddenly raised his head, and at that moment he smelled the aura of power that had appeared in Kou Hua before, but it was more majestic and unrivaled - it was an existential power that was above the law.
——The power of God. Wherever the ripples passed, the lines of law disintegrated. Brando almost watched the pointer on the dial hanging on his chest automatically begin to slow down, and the time around him seemed to start again.
Start flowing.
The elapsed pointer automatically expires!
The howl of the Frostbite Fang still echoed above the abyss, and he was still falling. Brando was shocked. He already understood that he might have been targeted by the awakening god, and only the power of existence could
Easily restrain the power of inferior artifacts.
With almost no time to think, there was a loud bang, and the King of Frost-eating Giant Insects had brought him down from a height of hundreds of feet to the solid ground of the square. The impact brought by the monster's weight of hundreds of tons was direct.
It tore its back open with a crash, the sound was like tearing apart cloth, and then blood spurted out, revealing the bloody body underneath. Then it bounced high, and fell heavily again, making a sound similar to air leakage.
The sound of the ball hitting the ground was like a ball of rotten meat that collapsed on the ground, motionless.
As if a water pipe burst, countless blood spurted out from large and small cracks, converging into streams of blood around it. This once arrogant monster had reached the end of its life at this moment.
Brando is no better.
The moment Frostbite Fang landed, he had the intention to use the power of elements to make himself fly, but unfortunately, the thread of law was already in pieces after being baptized by that wave of existential power, and could not be used at all. The result was
He fell heavily to the ground together with the King of Frostbite Giant Insects, and the impact immediately knocked him away. Fortunately, he did not have as terrifying weight as Frostbite Fang, and he had the latter as a buffer, so
He was just thrown heavily to the ground. Brando adjusted his posture at the last moment when he landed and rolled a few times. Although he was dizzy from the impact, it was nothing more than that. At most, he only had some scratches on his body.
Of course, this is also because of his own strength. An ordinary person would have been smashed into a meat pie, but for an element-enlightened being, the altitude of several hundred feet is nothing more than that. If he had been prepared in advance, he could even directly
Even if you jump off without buffering, you won't be injured.
But this time it was unexpected after all. When Brando staggered up from the ground, he felt as if his brain had been hit by a hammer, dizzy and uncomfortable; he tried several times before he stood up again, only to find that
I felt that my mind was in chaos, and the only thing I still remembered was that the person who pulled me back to this square must be an enemy rather than a friend, so I immediately raised the Earth Sword and assumed a defensive posture.
"Who!?" he shouted.
"it's me."
said a woman's voice in the square.
"Kou Hua!" Brando heard the voice immediately.
"You call my sister Kou Hua, and you call me Kou Hua. It seems you are not sincere at all." The woman's voice replied.
Brando was startled for a moment, and immediately realized that the other party was probably the dark side of Kou Hua who had escaped before, and since she appeared here, this was most likely the eternal resting place of God. He calmed down and looked around, but
Apart from this bare square, he did not see where the so-called awakening god was. He narrowed his eyes slightly and followed the other person's words and replied: "Then what should I call you. Dear Madam?"
Brando was still a little dizzy, and he was just talking aimlessly, so as to delay some time and get himself back to his best condition as soon as possible. The timer of the elapsed hand had ended, and he quietly checked his status, and the system had automatically deducted him.
A part of the experience, but fortunately, he seems to think that he killed Frostbite Fang. Taking the boss's experience alone is a rich reward, but it makes him have a lot more experience than before.
The woman's voice snorted softly, as if she was sneering. Of course she saw through Brando's intention, but she didn't bother to pay attention to it. She just asked jokingly: "Weren't you very courageous before? Why did you suddenly become timid?
, Mr. Human?”
The tone of this human gentleman was exactly the same as that of Kou Hua. He was worthy of being two entities with two sides. However, Brando was a little confused. Why did he feel that the eldest daughter of Essis was a bit targeted at him? He raised his head and asked in confusion.
:"I do not know what you mean."
"The person who called out my name in the Spiral Hall earlier and almost caused me to lose all my previous efforts was you."
Kou Hua said coldly.
Brando's mind buzzed, and he felt bad. He didn't expect to let her see it. Kou Hua's dark side is famous for his revenge. No wonder she would take action to stop him. It seemed that he was preparing to settle accounts in the future.
There was a cold sweat on his back, but he was too lazy to say more. The opponent was the hidden boss here, and now that he was in this square again, he was afraid that he would inevitably have to fight once, so he simply held the Sword of the Earth tightly and waited for the opponent to take action.
.
But at this time, a group of dark flames suddenly appeared in the sky above the square. Brando raised his head and saw the flames parting from it, and slowly walked out of it a girl with a figure similar to Kou Hua. But her whole body
The top and bottom, including the clothes, were made of burning black flames, suspended in mid-air, looking down at him.
"I'm curious as to why you recognize my human form."
"Don't use your lame excuses to excuse me. Even the Buga people have never seen me like this." Brando was about to speak, but the girl seemed to see through what he was thinking and preempted his retreat.
She was completely blocked. But she said to herself strangely: "It's really strange. I can't understand your origins. Who are you?"
Brando was shocked: "Can you see my thoughts?"
"I am a god after all."
The girl's voice echoed in the darkness.
"Are you a god?" Brando reacted: "No, this is not your power, this is Milos!"
"So smart," the girl smiled, but Brando couldn't feel the innocence and simplicity in Kou Hua at all. He only felt that the other party smiled sinisterly: "Didn't you ask what you should call me? I'm Su
Rush, the only god on the continent of Warnd after the Year of the Falling Star. But I am no longer the god who is about to wake up - I am the god who has woken up!"
Dream on, Brando said, if you are a true god, how can players play? After all, this is a level 5 or 60 dungeon. Although it is said to be a hidden boss, as long as it is a boss, it is possible to defeat it.
Brando suddenly thought that Kou Hua's 'sister', who claimed to be Sulash and seemed a little unclear, seemed to have the same idea as him and was also stalling for time. It is conceivable that Milos'
The main body should not have fully awakened yet. This was not a very short process. Brando suddenly thought of the huge wreckage they saw on the glacier. It was already obvious what the giant god's true form looked like.
"Brando." Just when Brando was full of curses, St. Osol's voice suddenly came from his heart: "Someone is approaching from above."
"How do you know, Lord Sage?" Brando was slightly startled. When did this Elf Queen have the function of radar? He had never heard of it before.
"Silly, I feel sorry for An Quli and the others."
"Yaluta and Peiya?" Brando looked up at the boundless cliff above: "The two siblings can't fly."
"The two siblings don't know how to do it, but someone does. It should be someone who is leading them. They are very fast. It's probably your teacher."
"Mephisto?" Brando's heart jumped. If there are two people, then the remaining one is probably Veronica. Although I don't know how they discovered this direction, if these two people can join
If he were to fight, he would be more confident in dealing with the fake god Sulash. Thinking of this, he did not intend to expose the other party's lies immediately, but continued:
"In that case, Lord Sulash, what is your purpose in bringing me here? Although I accidentally almost ruined your plan, as a god, it seems that you don't have to argue with me, a mortal, right?"
"Of course I won't argue with you." The girl's voice smiled coldly: "On the contrary, as my first guest, I will let you watch the show."
"A good show?"
"Let you see how a god is resurrected. From this moment on, the history of Warnd will be forever changed. You should feel honored to be able to participate in it, mortal."
Brando didn't feel honored at all. On the contrary, he picked out the other party's language and said: "Aren't you already awake? Miss Kou Hua, this seems a bit inconsistent, right?"
"Pfft--" Brando heard St. Osor's voice unable to hold back laughter in his spiritual world.
Kou Hua was also a little angry. She blushed, gritted her teeth and said, "Shut up, just look at me."
Brando shrugged. Anyway, he had confirmed his previous guess. That was enough. As long as Kou Hua was not a true god, there would be a way to defeat her. On the other hand, Saint Osor said to him while smiling: "You
It's so ungentlemanly, Brando, how can you correct a girl's slip of the tongue like this?" The two of them were whispering to each other, but they also paid attention to the girl's every move. As soon as she finished speaking, there was an extremely strange buzz.
The buzzing sound came from the darkness. Brando looked in that direction and suddenly saw the dense pipes in the darkness lighting up one by one, as if something was flowing inside and gradually approaching the platform.
.
The next moment, the entire platform shook.
No, Brando frowned. The vibration was not from the platform, nor even from the abyss below, but the entire cliff and the entire valley were shaking. His expression gradually changed. This was from the mountains.
He could almost feel the resonance, the trembling coming from the glaciers in the center of the entire Dead Frost Forest. At this moment, the glaciers were waking up, and they were making their own sounds.
Thousands of years later, that voice appeared again on the earth.
