Chapter 295: Statue on an upside down tree
For the first time, I walked alone on the totem of the Kabbalah tree. ． COM Paladin didn't feel anything, and still walked as calmly as water.
Slowly, he stepped into the circle in front of him. Four big words appeared on the circle: "Pure Reason." The following apocalypse also appeared at the same time:
"Finally found the lost crown, abandoned everyone, this is your end, and it is also new. Open to you are the three doors of God."
But Paladin, who just glanced at it, didn't pay much attention at all. Because at the moment his attention was drawn to another person who shouldn't be there. Dressed in pure white, he looked like the white Paladin who had been waiting for a long time. He looked at Paladin with an unexpected expression and said calmly: "You are here. I have been waiting for you for a long time."
Paladin, who had some understanding, stepped in and suddenly said: "He is my emotion. Then what are you?"
"You, me, and he are one and the same. If you want to embark on the path of God, we will be separated. It's time." After that, the white Paladin came towards me, both of them had calm and indifferent expressions. See. But the white Paladin slowly raised his hand and gently touched Paladin's chest.
In an instant, the white Paladin burst out with a ball of brilliance. Suddenly his body shape changed instantly, emitting a faint golden light, and suddenly merged into Paladin's body. The next moment, above Paladin's forehead with the Almighty Eye, a golden ring with golden lines floated on Paladin's head. As magical as a crown.
"The crown...the ring of truth." Paladin murmured to himself as if he was enlightened. He looked like an angel, with a golden halo floating on his head. At this time, Paladin raised his head slightly, exhaled suddenly, and his spirit was immediately sucked away by the suction force that followed. Consciousness gradually became blurred.
It's still the same cave, maybe countless years have passed, maybe it's just the blink of an eye. The eyes of the stone statue sitting on the stone chair suddenly lit up with a golden light. At the same time, on this stone statue of Paladin. Suddenly there was a cracking sound. Cracks were like spider webs, covering the entire stone statue instantly. There was just a crash, and the stone statue fell over and shattered, falling to the ground. And the rest. But it is completely energized, with the Almighty Eye flashing on his forehead, the wings of God emerging from his back, and the Ring of Truth hanging on his head. Like smoke floating in mid-air.
Paladin, who had realized something, looked at the rock wall above him with his eyes that were devoid of any emotion or fluctuation. He suddenly raised his hands, raised his head and closed his eyes. In an instant, densely packed mysterious runes appeared on the rock walls and ground around the entire cave. these runes. It is the runes that make up the wings of God, the words of God!
At the same time, I heard Paladin wandering around, and the voice that could not distinguish between male and female sounded loudly: "I, Paladin, swear an oath here. The supreme law that governs all things and nourishes all things!"
After a pause, the sound became more intense, as if it could reach the core of the earth. Or the ultimate in the sky. The periphery of the world: "In the endless river of time, I hang on an upside-down tree, whipped by spears and myself; I am used as a sacrifice to Paladin, sacrificed to myself. In the unknown world, Above the tree. There is no pain and joy, no loneliness and sadness. I look up, waiting for the light of dawn. Give me rebirth. Pick up the runes on the ground, spread my wings. Fall from the tree, wear Go through three doors. Return to the origin of time."
As soon as he finished speaking, Paladin slowly lowered his head and stretched his hands naturally. And the tall fallen tree stone slab behind him suddenly glowed with golden light! The golden light reflected on Paladin's body, and the light gradually deformed and twisted, turning into a dense golden palm. Palms rushed up quickly, binding Paladin up and down. Then, one by one, he was pulled onto the stone slab of the Kabala tree. …,
But Paladin showed no resistance, lowered his head and closed his eyes, letting the golden arm of the stone pull him. Finally, when the golden light emitted from the stone slab disappeared, Paladin's body had long since disappeared. But you can see, in the middle of the tall stone slab, a human figure with outstretched hands carved into it. The Wings of God on the back, the Almighty Eye on the forehead, and the Ring of Truth on the head. Such a human figure is placed in a big cross, just like a god attached to the middle of the stone slab.
The runes that were originally shining throughout the cave gradually dimmed and became invisible. In this cave, a long wait and watch began. .
A thousand years later, the Second Age of Mythology, also known as the Dark Age, has already become a true myth. The Empire of Camelot ruled over an incredibly vast territory. All races in the world are members and subjects of this empire. Naturally, under the long-term peace, there is no shortage of strong men to replace them from generation to generation. The god worshiped by the Kingdom of Camelot today is Marcus, the God of War.
As for the temple of Enos, it was defined as heresy and no longer exists. At the site of the original holy city of Kasiri, after thousands of years of farming, the original plains turned into forests and hills. The bustling streets and exquisite tower statues. The broken city walls and the magnificent St. Peter's Basilica, as well as Castel Sant'Angelo, also fell apart in the long river of time. The only thing that can be seen is the ruins exposed under the black soil and vines. I believe that in a few hundred years, even these relics will be swallowed up by the power of nature and become eternal legends.
What's funny is that this ancient forest that swallowed up the Holy City and even a large area has gradually evolved into a forest of magical beasts that mercenaries and adventurers are passionate about. No matter how powerful or huge the monster is, it doesn't dare to get even half a step closer to this ruins. Whenever they try to explore this ownerless territory, they always feel like there is a pair of cold and ruthless golden eyes looking at them in their minds.
The beasts with sensitive animal nature knew that there was already a master here, and he was an extremely powerful being that all their monsters could not resist. The story is set on the outskirts of this Warcraft Forest, in a city called Bucks City that has gradually prospered due to the magic crystal and fur trade.
In Bucks City at the moment, various mercenaries were shuttled back and forth, either gathering in bars to brag to each other about their great deeds and adventures, or seeking profits by spending money to buy the latest news from intelligence dealers. And the Sword of the Brave, the largest mercenary union in the entire Camelot Empire, has its branch in Bucks City. It was so lively and crowded that all kinds of information and contracts were flying everywhere. Mercenaries wearing armor and carrying weapons piled up on top of each other, waving gold or silver coins in their hands, and buying information and contracts from the service staff at the counter.
"Did you hear it? There is a black dragon living deep in the forest! There are many large business groups, and even various dukes and marquises, who are paying exorbitant prices for the whole body of this giant dragon!" With a murmur, the whole person Everyone in the mercenary branch discussed with each other the first-hand information that everyone had received.
The price offered by the buyer was too tempting, a first-class imperial viscount and three castles. The sky-high price of one hundred thousand gold coins made these mercenaries extremely excited for life and adventure. But the dragon is no joke. That was a mythical creature that only existed. It is impossible for them to deal with such an existence. Of course, some questioned, some laughed, and some were excited. But no one dared to take on this task.
It wasn't until a pair of black leather boots stepped into the branch that the sweet voice echoed in the branch made these mercenaries stunned and in disbelief: "Black dragon? It's just a lizard. I have this mission." Accepted." (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to (.) to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
