In the long and narrow Saint-Peru Valley, people suddenly stopped in unison.
They looked at the ground, where a layer of floating dust was sinking slowly, the grass and trees were swaying gently, and it seemed like an illusion, with an undetectable tremor, passing through the valley.
People raised their heads and looked into the distance. The forest was silent, but in an instant, the trees began to sway. Many people screamed and ran out of the tent, looking around in panic. Under the shocked eyes of others, an overwhelming number of birds were flying over the forest.
The deafening sound of flapping wings drowned out all noise, only mixed with the sound of chirping.
The valley was crowded with people for a while, and everyone was staring at this scene with their mouths open. At both ends of the valley, there were six stone tablets standing on the top of the brown rock mountains, dusty stone carvings left over from the Sinsas era. They were thousands of Gazing silently at this ancient valley for years.
But at this moment, the stone tablets are becoming more commanding one by one.
"Look!" people shouted, "What is that!?"
On top of the first stone tablet is a round disk with the thirteen months of Aitaria, the twenty-two cycles, and the abstract imprint of the growth of all things. It is a symbol of the sun and fire, symbolizing the ancient power of Sinsas. Sun god.
Ta-aka.
"What is that?" Liuying stood up and turned back to ask his companion curiously.
She knew that although her partner had some perverted hobbies, he was a person who had an extremely deep understanding of the background of the world and was unrivaled in the trainee theoretical examination.
Kaka rubbed the bruise on his forehead, closed one eye and looked at the mark, and then replied: "The gorgeous feathers, those are the six vassals of Xinsas, the six clan emblems, and a common Name, Gudasok.”
"speak English."
"That's Andasok, the Emblem of the Sun."
In the palace of the mountain.
The silver mark on Fang Yu's forehead disappeared in a flash. He leaned back, with only the whites of his eyes remaining, and almost fell to the ground. The box supported him from behind, allowing him to stand firm.
The vision in the void only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye. That simple crown remains deeply in the hearts of everyone who sees it.
"That's..." Jita opened her mouth slightly.
"Wait a minute, what happened to brother Ed?" Tian Lan was more concerned about this issue: "Is he okay?"
Sophie took a step back and frowned at the scene.
Attila and Red both took a step forward, and behind them, only Parker, who was dragged to the back by Tian Lan, missed the wonderful scene, where he shouted in confusion: "What's going on? What's going on? It happened. What?"
Beside him, Sylvester was looking at this scene with slight surprise and curiosity. She lowered her willow-leaf eyebrows slightly, then raised them again, with an unexpected light flashing in her eyes.
Fang Yu took a step back, then shook his head and came back to his senses. He looked at the others in confusion: "What's wrong?" Before, he only felt a splitting headache, but when he woke up, he found that everyone was looking at him strangely.
But no one had time to answer.
The lizard man, who was as fat as a toad, was flying over at a speed that was disproportionate to its size. Only then did Fang Plover realize that he was sitting on a stone chair carved with feathered snake patterns. He knew that, That is also one of the ancient sacred objects of the lizard people.
The lizard man grabbed his arm, and Fang Plover was startled. He subconsciously wanted to pull his hand away, but he heard the old voice of Magery Toragotos in his mind: "Don't be afraid, child."
But how could it be possible not to be afraid?
The lizard man's huge prismatic eyes were looking at him, and under his thick lips, there was a bloody mouth. He didn't know if the lizard people of the Tada clan had the habit of brushing their teeth. Fang Plover was afraid that the other man would spit out a mouthful. The stench made him faint.
However, the fat lizard man was obviously not interested. He only heard him say in a low, dry voice with the power of a belly tone: "The Glory of Cang."
Fang Plover suddenly froze as if roots were growing under his feet.
Of course he had heard this term before, more than once.
"Wait a minute, what did you say?" Fang Yu couldn't help but asked.
But the Natada lizardman obviously didn't care about his question. Instead, he turned directly back and asked Tenerik: "Who is he?"
"The chosen one," Tenerik looked at Fang Plover seriously with his slender pupils, then glanced at the tall gray-skinned lizard man, and replied softly: "This is my respected human brother, we want to Let’s go through this trial together.”
"The favor of the Shining Sea," Tada Lizardman's voice became thicker: "The ancient will actually chose a mortal."
"He is not a mortal," a hoarse voice came from above: "He is the chosen one, the most holy elect."
The fat lizard man raised his head.
Only then did he realize that the one who spoke was the old guy who had not made a sound since he entered the palace - Asuka, a member of the dragon blood clan. These mysterious kin have been living in seclusion in the dense forest of Saint Xiu'an. Even though they are Gudasok, it is difficult for them to know each other's secrets.
It narrowed its eyes slightly.
In the valley.
The second stone tablet lit up.
Above it are the moon and the soul, the four realms of the dead, the pale hunter, and the black comet. It is like an ancient fable describing the end and the end, which is opposite to the first stone tablet.
One lives, the other dies.
Six Shadows squinted at this scene, and the bright red eye shadow made her look unexpectedly charming. Kaka was so lost in looking at her partner that she didn't hear the latter's question:
"What's the emblem on that stone tablet?"
"Hey, answer me! Pervert, don't look at me like that!"
Kaka came back to his senses.
He glanced at the stone tablet lazily and replied casually: "Asuka, descendants of dragon blood, they are the ancient wizards of the empire, guarding the dark secrets alone."
"A dark secret?"
"That's the power from the tail of the giant snake, the black comet," Kaka replied: "Legend has it that the Sinsas snake people have been using this power, so they fear the things between life and death. And Asu The wizards of Ka guard such secrets for them.”
"They are people from the other side of ancient time, half-dead. Some people say that they do not really live in this world. Half of St. Anthony's forest is the spiritual world, which is the place that connects death and life. The dead The door of the kingdom.”
"Wait a minute, but why do you know so much?"
Six Shadows turned back to look at him strangely: "I have also studied the history of Aitaria, but why don't I understand any of this and it is not written at all in the textbook?"
Kaka thought for a moment and replied: "I have read an ancient document."
"Wait a minute, why do I feel that this excuse is so familiar?" Liuying looked at this guy suspiciously: "It sounds like some illogical third-rate saying. The protagonists all look like prophets. Knowing it for a thousand years, knowing it for five hundred years - you won't be out of your mind after reading these things, so you use such an excuse to stall me, right?"
"Of course not, haha," Kaka laughed and changed the subject: "But this is my secret, do you really want to know?"
"Stop talking nonsense."
"If you date me, I'll tell you."
"roll!"
Six Shadows punched the guy in the stomach, causing him to bend over like a shrimp. She raised her head and looked at the valley with some confusion. It was obviously a peaceful valley before, but how could these ruins suddenly glow?
Or are they going to be like this every year at the beginning of the trial?
But looking at the reactions of other people in the valley, it seems that this is not the case either.
The third stone tablet lit up.
It was as if a stone had been thrown into the crowd, and the commotion was like ripples. The commotion came from the other side of the valley. Six Shadows were watching this scene with some surprise. After a while, she heard clearly what the people below were shouting:
"It's open!"
"Look, the ruins are open!"
She was stunned for a moment before she realized what was going on. She took out her pocket watch and looked at it, and couldn't help but frown.
"It's early -" Kaka was knocked to the ground by her punch. But this guy simply didn't bother to get up. After rubbing his stomach, he turned over and put his hands on the pillow, lying flat in the bushes, as if he was looking at the sky in the valley.
Blue and deep, like sunlight floating behind white clouds.
"It's not even noon yet," he said to himself, "the trial has already started early."
Liuying couldn't help but ask: "Has such a thing happened before?"
Kaka looked at her and replied intently: "I'm not an encyclopedia, why do I ask about everything - well, blue sky and white clouds."
"What blue sky and white clouds?" Liu Ying was stunned.
"Stripes, little bear."
The elf girl was startled for a moment, then her eyes suddenly widened, and a trace of blood red spread uncontrollably on her cheeks. She gritted her teeth and held down her skirt, kicked it over, and screamed: "Ahhh! I'll fight you, you pervert!"
…
Fang Yu gasped in pain.
He saw the old blood lizard people coming to him like a shadow. He didn't know what was wrong with these lizard people. The other party also grabbed his other arm.
The opponent's strength was so great that it was impossible to tell that the skinny appearance actually contained such a powerful force. The claws it grabbed on his arm were much stronger than that of the Tada lizard man, almost like an iron hoop.
Not only that, it stretched out its long nails and drew a bloody streak on his arm.
"Hey, what are you doing!" Box was startled, and he pulled out the sword in his hand and pointed it at the opponent. Although the boy had just joined the team not long ago, compared with these ferocious-looking lizardmen, of course he still instinctively sided with Fang Plover.
But it was Attila who grabbed his hand.
On the contrary, the elf girl seemed a little calm. She pressed the box and signaled him to calm down. Rhett put down the pipe in his hand, crossed his arms, and squinted at the scene. He looked at the square plover, a little curious.
"Big Cat Man?" Tian Lan asked in a low voice, "Why don't we go up and help Brother Ed?"
Such thoughts were running through her mind, but looking at those green-faced and fanged lizard monsters, her little arms and legs were not enough for them to eat. After thinking about it, I decided to ask the big cat person for his opinion first.
If Fang Yu knew what this little girl was thinking, he would probably roll his eyes in anger, but now he didn't care so much, because the old blood lizard man had already drawn a pattern on his arm with his fingernails.
The black tail of the comet.
The serpent symbol of the firmament.
The other party then took a step back.
But Fang Yu only felt that the mark was hot, as if it was branded on his hand. Not far away from him, the tall gray-white lizard man was watching this scene with a strange expression. It seemed a little uneasy, anxious, but also very hesitant. It wanted to step forward several times, but was stopped by Teneric out of scruples.
It seemed to be whispering something in a hissing voice, but Fang Yu could no longer hear it clearly because he suddenly felt an ancient and sacred voice enter his mind.
The voice told him:
"Ta-aka——"
The ancient sun god.
"Sacrifice." Rhett lowered his head and replied to the little girls hiding behind him: "There is also such an ancient way of blessing in our tradition, but we will smell the whisper of the soul in the wind, lizard people , seems to be more sensitive to blood."
Etila nodded slightly.
The forest elves also inherit some ancient traditions. Only then did she let go of Box's hand, and at this time, the latter finally understood that the other party was not plotting to kill their captain - although he didn't have much respect for the captain.
But this doesn't answer everyone's confusion.
What is that crown that suddenly appears? Why did Ed show such a vision at that time? Teneric has always said that he is the chosen one, and its human brothers also treat him with respect, but apart from the strange language that the other party blurted out that day, there seemed to be no other signs.
After the crown appeared, the lizard people's sudden change of attitude confused everyone.
Among all the people, only the tall lizard man looked aggrieved. He gritted his teeth and whispered: "Why is it, a human? A lowly human, there must be something wrong with it!"
Tenaric turned back calmly: "It is the Chosen One, the Holy Chosen One, my brother. He is the Dragon Speaker. Have you forgotten that ancient prophecy?"
"No, I don't believe in prophecies." The gray-skinned lizard man took a step back, looked at Fang Plover with a disgusted look, and then looked at it: "You are all, I will never be easily fooled, and take Anda to Thok’s blessing goes to you.”
It made a low hissing sound, then turned angrily and left the hall alone.
But in the hall, almost no one noticed its departure at this moment.
Because Fang Plover opened his eyes.
Everyone was surprised to see that his pupils turned into a light silver, a bit like when he used the power of the dragon soul, but without the bright light and smoke. In the middle of the pale silver, there was only a faint golden pupil ring, which flashed away.
He stood there calmly.
Of course I’m not showing off——
Instead, he was checking his property panel with a look of astonishment. The previous system prompt almost stunned him, and he thought he was dreaming. But Fang Yu opened the attribute panel and saw an extra column under the character attributes:
Holy Blessing——
Asuka's Secret Seal: Ancient secrets are engraved in the blood, invisible knowledge that knows the realm of life and death, and draws the power of darkness from it. Allows the recipient to use the power of life to transform magic.
'Asuka's blessing will last forever, until the day when the sea of light goes out——'
Although Fang Plover still doesn't understand what this blessing means. But just the last additional sentence shocked him speechless. There are gods in the world of Aitalia, and naturally there are many powers of blessing and curse.
The followers of the gods are proficient in these techniques, and the priests of different gods have different curses and blessings.
But he has never heard that that kind of blessing skill lasts forever - although there is a restriction, until the sea of light goes out, but the devil knows when the sea of light will go out, it doesn't sound like it can be seen in one or two days. to something.
This thing——
Fang Yu couldn't help but swallowed, this was a bit too perverted.
…
