On the shallows of the lake, the angel statue looked dim... The girl had been staring at the angel statue for a long time.
Boss Luo has been waiting patiently, without even making a sound to disturb.
"Holy...Michael."
The girl suddenly murmured. This was not the first time that the name had been mentioned from her mouth.
"It is [Saint Michael]."
This time, the girl's voice was more certain. She even took steps again and walked directly towards the submerged beach in the center of the lake. Even though there was a submerged beach in the center of the lake, the lake still had a certain depth before arriving.
.
She will be completely immersed in the water...originally, this is how it should be.
But when the girl Jeanne touched the lake, a small piece of brilliance condensed directly under her feet... The brilliance floated on the water and became the girl's foothold.
She did not sink into the water.
In this way, she slowly approached the shallows in the center of the lake under the condensed brilliance.
At this time, Boss Luo thought of the allusion of "Step by step, a lotus is born"... but obviously the girl will not be the one in the story of "Step by step, a lotus is born".
He also followed the girl towards the shallows in the center of the lake.
But the moment Boss Luo stepped into the brilliance, the brilliance was shattered, as if to tell: No one can pass except the girl.
"Don't you welcome me?" Boss Luo said softly.
At this time, the brilliance behind the girl was shattered piece by piece, but soon it condensed again piece by piece and became a new foothold.
Boss Luo smiled slightly and said, "Thank you."
He stepped into a new foothold and followed the girl in front of him slowly... Soon, the girl had stepped into the shallows in the middle of the lake and walked straight towards the angel statue in the center.
This angel statue doesn't look like much from a distance, but if you look at it up close, it's still quite tall. Even if it's kneeling on one knee, it's still taller than the girl.
It's just that the angel statue has its head lowered, but it's hard to see its face clearly.
At this time, the girl suddenly made an unexpected move.
She held the face of the angel statue with both hands, as if she wanted to lift its head, but the head of the statue was fixed, which was obviously impossible.
I don't know when Boss Luo was already beside the girl. He asked in a low voice: "Why do you do this?"
She seemed to suddenly gain clarity from a certain trance, and her hazy eyes became clearer. "I don't know why, I just want to see what it looks like."
Boss Luo thought for a while and said: "Since it lowers its head, maybe it doesn't want people to see its appearance."
The girl thought for a moment and said, "I can still see even if I bend down... This explanation doesn't seem to make sense?"
Boss Luo smiled noncommittally and said, "Under normal circumstances, we really can't see it, but bending down means we insist on doing it."
The girl shook her head. She didn't understand why she had to deal with such things with an inanimate statue... as if there was a living person inside the statue.
Even so, she never thought that holding up the statue's face was an illogical act in itself.
"[Saint Michael]." Boss Luo suddenly said at this time.
The girl was startled, "You seem to have mentioned this name just now, why are you mentioning it again? Is this statue the statue of [Saint Michael]?"
You mentioned this, twice.
Boss Luo glanced at the girl, but said another thing, "It seems that the legends circulating in your village are somewhat different from reality. This angel statue does not look like the devil in the lake."
"Yeah." The girl nodded.
"Is this the prototype of the Demonic Sword in the Lake?" The girl looked at the sword held by the angel statue in both hands and inserted into the ground, and subconsciously touched it.
This looks like just an ordinary stone sword, nothing special about it.
only……
"You can pick it up!" The girl whispered at this time.
The stone sword held by the angel statue's hands was easily shaken by the girl... With just a little force, she pulled the stone sword out of the angel statue's hands and waved it twice.
The long stone sword was quite heavy in the hand, and the girl obviously felt uncomfortable in her hand when she swung it.
She shook her head and casually placed the long stone sword on the ground, "I can't help but wonder if the legend of the magic sword circulating in Donremi Village could be caused by someone from the previous village who entered this place by mistake.
When we arrived at this lake, there were also angel statues and stone swords. We used this as a prototype to make up a story to scare children, and then it was passed down from generation to generation and became a legend."
"Miss Jeanne seems to have grown up listening to this legend." Boss Luo smiled.
The girl immediately glared and said with an unhappy expression: "I thought you were a smart person, but I didn't expect you didn't understand what I meant! How disappointing!"
Boss Luo had a change of thought and said: "What Miss Jeanne means is that since someone once entered this place by mistake and made up a story based on what he saw here, it means that there is a way to leave here."
"It's not stupid!" The girl chuckled and nodded: "If people don't go back, it's impossible for the story to be passed down... There must be a way to leave here."
"This is just your guess, Miss Jeanne." Boss Luo suddenly said.
The girl turned back with bright eyes, "Do you want to embrace hope or let despair swallow you?"
I'm afraid this is not a problem that adults and I can get away with just by asking for them all.
Boss Luo said seriously at this time: "I think Miss Jeanne can bring hope to people. You are like the embodiment of hope with your cheerfulness, so choosing you will naturally be equivalent to embracing hope."
So isn’t embracing hope the same as embracing...
The girl's expression suddenly became a little weird, and she quickly turned her head.
——This guy is so bad!
——The marriage contract is only a unilateral agreement by the father!
——What does he want to do...does he want to hug me?
——No...that is something you can only do after you get married!
——No...I haven't agreed yet!
"Hurry... find a way to leave quickly!" The girl said hurriedly: "We have been delayed for too long. Now is not... not the time to chat. There will be opportunities in the future... in the future."
"after?"
"...You go look over there!" The girl stretched out her hand, pointed in a random direction, and said angrily: "Don't waste time!"
With that said, the girl held up the stone sword in her hand and walked in another direction... But this time there was no light to hold up her body, so she quickly walked into the water, and the lake instantly flooded her
On the legs.
"Strange, how did I walk in here just now?" The girl turned around with confusion... and looked at the bad guy.
The bad guy was still in the shallows in the middle of the lake, just facing away from her and looking ahead.
"What's wrong?" The girl frowned subconsciously, moved her eyes a little, and then her face changed slightly, "No! This weird thing is actually chasing me!"
Entering the cave passage of this strange underground lake, I saw a figure with fiery cracks on its body, walking slowly towards it!
This strange guy stepped directly into the lake and walked towards the shallows.
Its body was still extremely hot. The moment its body entered the lake, the water boiled crazily and turned into a thick mist of water vapor!
"Perhaps not all the legendary stories are fabricated..." the girl subconsciously thought, but quickly shook her head, shook Zai away, and said loudly: "You hurry up! It's going to catch up! Hey -
!!”
"It seems like it can't get through." Luo Qiu suddenly said.
The girl didn't believe it... She looked subconsciously and saw this strange guy with a blazing body. Although he was still making the lake boil crazily, he seemed... as if he really couldn't move forward?
She moved her body in the water, stepped onto the shoal again step by step, and came to Luo Qiu's side wet.
Bang bang bang——!
At this time, the strange guy began to flap wildly, and the sound became louder and louder because of its tapping... At this time, the girl finally saw that there seemed to be an invisible barrier around the shoal, because the barrier
Because of its existence, the fiery monster cannot get close!
"Could this be the power of angels..." The girl subconsciously looked at the angel statue in the center and murmured to herself: "This is a miracle! I saw a miracle! I saw [Saint Michael]
!”
The fiery monster was still beating the invisible barrier crazily, and it even hit it hard with its head, its expression becoming more and more ferocious.
Boss Luo said at this time: "It depends on the situation, it won't come in a short time. But at the same time, we can't get out either."
"We can't stay here forever." The girl shook her head and said: "Even if it is safe here, but without real food, we will starve to death sooner or later, and it may also break the barrier... Could it be that the only way to defeat this strange guy is to defeat it.
, how can we leave here?"
Suddenly, the girl took a deep breath, clenched the long stone sword in her hands with both hands, and raised it.
"Miss Jeanne, what do you want to do?" Boss Luo said at this time.
"It was the sky stone statue that brought me here." The girl seemed to have returned to that hazy state. She put her forehead on the stone sword, "I am praying to it... the angel's
The power has blocked the entry of the strange guy, and the power of angels may also allow me to defeat it. [Saint Michael], please listen to my voice. I, Jeanne d'Arc, hereby wish to be the sword in your hand...
Please give me guidance, please give me courage, please give me strength."
Boss Luo frowned at this moment.
His eyes fell on the lowered angel statue, and a strange color flashed in his eyes... He quickly returned to his original calm appearance, and whispered: "You are not her..."
At this moment, a ray of light was released from the stone sword and soared into the sky... The light brought a powerful force.
The water in the underground lake instantly surged open due to the brilliance of this sword light.
The girl's eyes exuded a horrifying light, and she used both hands to chop off the long stone sword in her hand!
In an instant, the sword light turned into a long curtain of light, swallowing the fiery monster in the lake directly... In the light, the screams of the fiery monster could be clearly heard!
The brilliance instantly covered up the light of all the crystals in the underground lake... as if it had become a world like holy light.
moment.
The separated lake water began to rejoin and suddenly became turbid.
On the shoal, the girl was panting and supporting her body with the stone sword in her hand... She seemed to have consumed too much energy, so that her face became extremely pale.
The stone sword, at this time, had lost its brilliance and returned to its normal appearance.
"Successful!" The girl looked at Boss Luo aside with surprise and excitement, and said angrily: "I really defeated this monster! It was the power given to me by [Saint Michael]!"
"Congratulations, Miss Jeanne." Boss Luo smiled lightly and said, "You have successfully embraced hope."
"Um!"
Perhaps because the joy of defeating the monster filled her heart, the girl did not pay attention to the slightly cold attitude of this informal fiancée.
Maybe... he is also in shock at this time, and he can't calm down and react, right?
Rumble——!
At this moment, a sound suddenly came from the rock wall in front of where the two of them were, and then the rock wall began to shatter... This was the place where the brilliance released by the stone sword was impacted!
After the rock wall cracked, a medium-sized passage was actually exposed... At the same time, the sound of howling wind blew directly from the passage.
The girl suddenly became excited, "The wind! It means that this road can connect to the outside! Great! Not only did we defeat the monster, but we also found the exit! This must be the arrangement of [Saint Michael]! It is looking after us!"
"That's right." Boss Luo smiled casually and said, "It really seems to be arranged."
"Let's get out of here quickly!" The girl excitedly walked to Boss Luo, subconsciously grabbed his hand and pulled him to move.
"Mademoiselle Jeanne."
"What's wrong?" The girl turned back.
Boss Luo said: "We should be swimming over. If you hold me and hold this sword, you may sink."
"Yes..." The girl was startled, then nodded, and then she let go of Boss Luo's hand as if she was electrocuted. She said with a slightly red face: "This is the sword of victory given to me by [Saint Michael].
I must take it away... just swim by yourself! Follow me quickly, I'll go over and explore the way first!"
With that said, the girl tried to walk into the water with her sword.
A mysterious scene happened again. The stone sword was in the girl's hand. Instead of sinking into the water, it actually floated... floating on the surface of the lake, pulling the girl towards the lake.
Boss Luo couldn't help but narrow his eyes as he looked at the young girl at the edge of the lake, whose eyes were constantly looking at the stone sword, constantly surprised.
"Come quickly! Don't be stunned!" The girl suddenly waved and shouted loudly.
Boss Luo just nodded and walked straight into the water... But at this time, the water level of the lake began to drop rapidly, and even formed a huge whirlpool!
The lake water began to flow into the whirlpool, and the water level was also dropping crazily. However, within a short time, the entire underground lake had been drained... I saw Boss Luo calmly walking towards the lake.
"This must also be a gift from [Saint Michael]..." The girl couldn't help but murmur to herself as she looked at Boss Luo who walked over easily.
"Since it is a gift, I must want you to return to the village as soon as possible." Boss Luo said casually: "Miss Jeanne, let's go."
"That's right!" The girl nodded.
Seeing the girl rushing directly into the passage that appeared due to the impact of the light with a confident attitude, Boss Luo turned back and glanced at the angel statue in the center of the lake.
"I...I'm starting to hate this place."
Click.
In an instant, a slender crack appeared on the back of the penitent angel statue in the center of the lake.
At this time, Luo Qiu casually glanced at a place at the bottom of the lake where the water had been drained. He stretched out his palm forward, snapped his fingers, and then turned around and walked into the broken passage.
…
At the muddy bottom of the lake where the water had been drained, a hand suddenly stretched out from the mud... There were cracks on the arm.
The cracks looked like molten lava flowing, exuding a fiery breath all around.
…
…
…
…
【City of Liberty】.
In a prosperous commercial area, in front of a comprehensive office building, three gleams of light quietly fell on the rooftop of the building... a young man in white, and two senior angels' entourage.
The female angel said quickly at this time: "According to Dr. Hank's destiny diary, the businessman who sells imported drugs has his office in this building."
The young man in white nodded calmly and was about to speak.
Sudden.
His face changed slightly...his face turned pale at this moment, and then he spat out a mouthful of golden blood.
"grown ups--!"
The two senior angels were instantly horrified... horrified!
