Chapter 172 Leaving
Paladin slowly closed his eyes and heard only a soundless silence. Just as he showed a puzzled expression, as if coming from the bottom of his heart, the pitiful screams and wails of thousands of people poured into Paladin's ears like a flood! "Ahhh...ahhh! Quiet, quiet down! It's so noisy!"
With his eyes widened, Paladin's face instantly turned pale, and he covered his ears firmly with his hands. However, the massive screams continued continuously, and the volume did not decrease at all because Paladin covered his ears. "Is there any way to stop these things from arguing?" "No, this is the price you should bear."
The gods said in unison, but Paladin stared ferociously with pain on his face. His eyes burst out with dazzling golden light, and he shouted with great reluctance: "The price! Is this also the price of gaining strength? If this continues, I will be exhausted by these undead creatures in less than a year!" "No. Because. You have the Stone of Truth, and your spirit will not be swallowed up by the undead." Belair explained this. Paladin was extremely angry and laughed back: "Just because I won't die, do I have to endure such noise all the time? I will go crazy!"
"Under the law, everything has a chance. You bear the price you deserve, but you will also be given a chance." Iacono, the God of Earth and Nature, said slowly. The screams that were so noisy that Paladin couldn't stand it actually gradually subsided! Although there was no fight or any damage, Paladin seemed to be almost on the verge of death, lying on the ground extremely weak. Breathing and glaring at the gods for explanation.
"The price of taking away your life and soul will lurk during the day and destroy your spirit at night." "Black Sky...Black Sky again. Isn't the price I paid enough!" Paladin roared at the gods. But he also knew that it would not help. Through this short contact, he discovered that the gods who truly control the world are not only not as kind and kind as described in myths. Not even the emotions of anger and happiness! It was like facing a talking stone. No matter how Paladin expressed his attitude, these gods seemed to have lost their dignity and self-esteem and remained silent.
But at this moment, a subtle breaking sound slowly came. Paladin was stunned, and when he was about to listen carefully, the shattering sound became more obvious. "Kakakakakaka!" Paladin suddenly realized that the shattering sound was coming from the surroundings. After taking a closer look, he was shocked to see that the walls of this ancient temple were quickly covered with cracks one after another. Even the ground that Paladin stepped on suddenly cracked into pieces. "Crack!" There was a shattering sound from the ceiling overhead, and pieces of tiny gravel fell from the ceiling. The entire temple made a rumbling sound, as if it might collapse at any time.
"What's going on? What happened!" Paladin asked uneasily. But the gods remained calm, as if stating an insignificant matter and said: "The world is rejecting our clones... We have stayed too long." After hearing this, Paladin immediately asked: "What's going on! What? Exclude you?" But the gods did not pay attention to his meaning. Instead, it was Enos who suddenly asked: "Candidate, the timeline has arranged an opportunity for you. We can give you power, but you have to pay the price." "I agreed, is there any way I can go back now? "Paladin, who didn't even want to know what the price was, agreed immediately. If he gives up this power, he will face death. Die like Anakin Ripley. Paladin did not want to die in such a useless way.
After hearing Paladin's promise, these gods fell into silence again. The five pairs of divine eyes suddenly closed and disappeared. The corresponding statue of the god was also shattered. At this moment, when Paladin didn't understand what was going on, the five huge dark stone slabs exposed after the five statues were broken were filled with mysterious words! "Rune, the language of God!" Paladin said with shock. He had no time to close his eyes as he had a premonition of what would happen next. All the densely packed runes gathered together and rushed towards Paladin! …,
"Ahhhhhhhh!" Paladin screamed. The familiar time tunnel appeared again. Countless human elves, all races slowly went about their business, and their lives of grudges and grudges passed quickly before Paladin's eyes. It’s like experiencing countless people’s lives in one moment! The runes that pierced his mind made Paladin feel like he was about to burst!
"Ah... Huh. Huh." Paladin opened his eyes suddenly and returned to the temple again. He didn't even have time to rest, and saw that the entire temple was falling apart, and pieces of rubble kept falling. I believe this place will be destroyed soon! Looking around, I saw that the gods had already left. Without saying a word, Paladin turned around and ran towards the stone slab at the entrance! With a gentle push, the stone slab opened, and dazzling light came from outside the door. Paladin had no time to think about why there was light under the ground, so he plunged into it.
"Ah!" The warm sunshine, the refreshing fragrance of earth, and the chirping cicadas. Paladin was stunned for a moment unconsciously. With a "pop!", Paladin rolled to the ground. The ground was covered with grass, and when he looked up, he saw an endless forest. The hazy mist wandering in the forest told Paladin that he was back in the misty forest.
Paladin, who looked a little dazed, looked back, only to see that the place where he had just emerged was not a gate or the Tunnel of Infamy at all, but a small tree hole only five centimeters wide! "Trick me..." Paladin stepped forward and looked into the tree hole in surprise. But he found that the tree hole could only accommodate a fist. And how did he get out of this place?
At the same time, the tunnel that Paladin originally entered was now filled with a large group of elves wearing armor and holding bows and arrows. Thousands of them were surrounding the place. An elf with blond hair and an appearance no more than that of a girl. Wearing very gorgeous and beautiful armor, he stood in front of the pit holding a thin long sword. He looked down in confusion at the man with the hood next to him. Lilith, who had competed with Paladin, said: "Lilith, are you sure that guy really fell from here?"
And this Lilith was also surprised at this moment. She lowered her head in confusion and said: "Prince, the pit was not so shallow at that time. It was as if magic had been cast, and it completely changed its shape." At this time, At this moment, the pit, which was originally extremely deep with no end in sight, was only ten meters deep. Several elven warriors checked at the bottom of the pit, but no trace of the human was found. Because the bottom of the pit is too small, you can see everything at a glance. It is impossible to hide people.
The elf called the princess is actually the princess Windsor during the turmoil in the association. At this moment, she thought about what the compatriots who escaped from this distressed village said not long ago about the arrival of the three-eyed destroyer. But seeing such a scene now made Windsor feel incredible.
As the leader of the royal guard, Lilith could not deceive her, so how could the destroyer predicted by the elves for generations disappear? How could this pothole change so much? Windsor felt that there was an invisible and powerful giant hand controlling everything secretly... Perhaps it was time to ask the Queen, Windsor's mother, the Elf Queen, for help.
PS: Well, in more than half a month, there were only three book reviews, and one person gave a reward. It feels like I'm as miserable as playing stand-alone! What's going on? Even the person who scolded me is gone? Even if there are people who are dissatisfied or disgusted with the plot, at least say it! ! ! The past half month or so has felt like writing a book for myself to read was as hard as it was!
