The witches from the Western Regions handed the magatama to Jiang Li, partly to express their gratitude, but also because they trusted Jiang Li's ability and believed that Jiang Li was the only one who could possibly revive the power of the magatama.
"Although we have been imprisoned by the Eagle King for so long because of Magatama, in our hearts Magatama is still the most dazzling ancient artifact in the Western Region, so we still hope that someone with energy can reopen it and own it." The Magic Wizard of the Western Region.
One of the leaders of the door said.
Jiang Li solemnly accepted their gifts. Because there were pursuers, Jiang Li and the people from the Western Regions Magic Sect briefly said goodbye and separated from each other. Jiang Li Xiaojia and Adu continued to go north, while the people from the Western Regions Sect.
People kept going west and embarked on the return journey.
"Their relatives will definitely be very happy to see them. After all, they have not seen each other for such a long time. It will definitely feel great to see them again." Xiao Jia looked at them and said with a smile.
"Let's continue on our way. We originally thought that after getting the magatama, we would be invincible. Who knew that this magatama turned into an ordinary stone. Our hard work was really in vain." Adu was still a little frustrated with this result.
.
"Actually, the hard work was not in vain. At least we have become friends with this group of magicians from the Western Regions. Also, although this magatama has temporarily turned into stone and seems to have no magical power, since it is an artifact from ancient times, it
They are definitely not ordinary people. If we preserve them, they may be of great use in the future." Xiaojia patted Adu on the shoulder and said.
"What are you going to do now? Where are you going?" the phantom of the elder who had been silent suddenly asked.
"We have to go to the Dragon King next. We got instructions from the Dragon King when we entered the city. Now we should go and say hello to him before leaving." Jiang Li thought for a while and said.
"Are you talking about the Dragon Clan of the Eternal River? Why do you still have contact with them?" the elder's phantom asked in surprise.
"We have seen all the horses, wolves, dragons, and so on along the way. We have gained a lot of experience. I will tell you in detail when we have time." Adu looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile.
"In this case, I will escort you there. The Yongsheng River often changes its course. If you are not familiar with it, it is easy to go astray." The phantom of the elder volunteered to act as a guide.
"I have already troubled you a lot. If the Eagle King discovers you, wouldn't it cause you a lot of trouble? I think you should go back. Since we have left the castle in Snow City, I think our internal strength has been restored.
That's almost it." Jiang Li couldn't bear to continue to trouble this knight who was his mother's lifetime.
"You're welcome Jiang Li. I've already thought about how to respond to Eagle King. Let's go this way. I'll send you to the Yongsheng River and then go back. After all, I'm very worried about the three of you still here."
The phantom of the elder continued to insist.
"Well, since you said so, let's go together. I hope we won't waste too much of your time." Jiang Li saw that he couldn't convince the elder to transform, so he had no choice but to agree.
Fortunately, with the guidance of the elder's phantom, Jiang Li and the others went much smoother this time. Soon they found the Yongsheng River, and met the man standing on the golden dragon in the Yongsheng River - the Dragon King.
"You are back so soon? Have you brought magatama back?" The Dragon King was a little surprised to see them, because the castle in Xuecheng was densely packed with traps and the spells inside were also very strange. It was really difficult for ordinary people to come out after entering.
"The magatama was successfully brought back. It's just a pity that the magatama has lost its energy and is no different from an ordinary stone, so we haven't successfully achieved our goal." Jiang Li shook the magatama in front of the Dragon King.
He smiled bitterly.
"Oh? Turned into a stone? Why?" The Dragon King also looked shocked. Everyone knows that Magatama, as an artifact from ancient times, has endless magic power. Why did it suddenly turn into a stone?
?
"I don't know about this. Anyway, when we found Magatama, it became like this. Although I'm sorry, I still thank you for your guidance and help." Jiang Li is a person who has a clear sense of grudges and treats those who have helped him.
People in Jiangli have always paid attention to repaying kindness with drops of water and springs of spring.
"You're welcome. I felt very sorry after knowing this, but it's a happy event." The Dragon King waved his hand politely.
While speaking, the Dragon King noticed the phantom body of the elder who had been silent, so he asked: "Who is this? I remember that there were only three of you when you left here."
"I am a phantom that escorted them all the way to this place. I am one of the Eagle King's men." The elder's phantom briefly introduced himself.
"So that's it. Why did you escape from the Eagle King's control so easily? It turns out there was an insider." The Dragon King raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.
"Dragon King, do you know how to arouse the energy of magatama? We have tried various methods to no avail." Adu asked.
Hearing this, the Dragon King picked up the magatama, looked at it and said, "I have a way, but I don't know if it will work. But even if it works, I don't think we can do anything now because we need a human sacrifice."
"Need a human sacrifice? What's going on?" Jiang Li and the others asked.
"If you want to awaken the energy of Magatama, you can use the power of the Eternal River. However, relying solely on the power of the Eternal River is not enough. You also need the soul of a person who has obtained the power of eternal life to sacrifice. But such people are very rare. I guess you
It's too late to look for it now." The Dragon King spread his hands and said helplessly.
Just when everyone was silent, the elder's phantom suddenly stood up and said: "I can, I have the power of eternal life and am willing to be a human sacrifice." As soon as this statement came out, everyone was stunned, not to mention
Why this elder's phantom is willing to be a human sacrifice is surprising enough just because he has the power of immortality.
"Who...are you? Why are you helping us all the way and even willing to be a human sacrifice for us?" Jiang Li looked at the phantom of the elder with confusion, and intuitively told Jiang Li that this person must be more than just a knight when his mother was alive.
relationship.
I saw this elder's phantom decisively taking off the bracelet on his wrist, smiling and saying: "At that time, I violated the creed of the knight just to survive. Now I can give an explanation to the saint."
