Uriel felt a cool breeze pass behind him, and a statue of a horse raised its front hooves. He immediately rolled around Meimi and smashed into the stone bricks with his veritable iron hooves. A halberd stabbed at an angle, but the apprentice narrowly avoided it by lowering his head. The shock made him unsteady on his feet, so he had no choice but to dodge under the hooves of the horses.
A piece of fence fell into the water, and the broken moon carved on it and the dense layers of ash leaves fell into pieces as if they hit the mud. Aurora's body was completely shattered. The water flow gathered at the edge of the lake, and the goblin's face became more transparent, seeming to be hurt.
But she looked stubborn. "That's a treasure given to the Sala people by Alan Wo, which is enough to carry the magic of the Nameless One -"
In the past, the word "Unknown One" always touched the apprentice's heartstrings, but now Uriel had no time to care about her words. There were more and more statues and armors, and he felt like he was facing an entire troop of roving cavalry. The intensive stabbing made Uriel break out in cold sweat.
"Careful!" When a spear fell that could not be avoided, Meme jumped on his face and knocked the apprentice aside. The sharp blade scraped against the scalps of the two guys and sank into the rock.
York turned into a point of light under a knight's sword and reappeared not far from the lake shore. Kamaria Fairy immediately floated backwards, preventing the mercenary from catching her.
"Stop!" He had no choice but to draw out his sword.
"The Broken Moon is awakening Kamaria." Aurora ignored his threat. "The magic cannot be stopped, and ancient history is returning to its place."
She held her head high, "We're going to succeed."
The charging knight forces the adventurer to retreat sideways. The goblin took the opportunity to break into water splashes again and flashed to the stone bridge. Uriel tried to throw the little wolf onto the stone bridge, but when he saw this, he immediately changed direction. They staggered to avoid being pursued by an armored figure. The apprentice used his short knife to block the rapier that came from nowhere, but the goblin was waiting for him on the road ahead, and the water flowed down like a bolt.
Uriel instinctively jumped forward to avoid the magic piercing. The soft lake water broke the empty shell of a knight's armor into two pieces, and then exploded into stone debris all over the ground. Meimi was so frightened that her hair stood on end. After witnessing the power of magic, the apprentice couldn't help but feel his heart sink. He knew he might not be so lucky next time.
Ta-ta-ta...
Kamaria saved him again, the shock making it difficult for the goblin to control the direction of the magic. She was forced to stop on the stone bridge.
Suddenly, a huge, continuous roar, like a storm hitting the ground, sounded in this holy white land. This is a sound that is reminiscent of the rolling and soaring white waves of snow, a sound of freedom. When it breaks through the obstacles of space and pupae descends, people can actually perceive the lightness and beauty in the violence.
The day breaks and the red clouds begin to fade. The long night is coming. It was only then that Uriel suddenly recalled that they entered the tunnel at night. The daylight in the Moon Capital almost made him forget this fact.
In the darkness, the top of the light pillar revealed the hazy pale silver outline of the Broken Moon. After the last thunderbolt of existence flashed across the magical sky, it was swallowed up by stars and darkness. Just seeing this scene made Uriel tremble all over. The ancient elven city came to light again, and indescribable mystery poured from the sky. He used all his strength to allow himself to hold the short knife in his hand tightly. He didn't know what the use of holding it was.
York was entangled in a group of knights' armors and almost fell into the lake.
"The tide of the Black Moon is too long." He heard Aurora's voice, and the small words were torn apart by the strong wind as they passed through his body.
"The day has finally come..." Her blue eyes stared at the apprentice, or rather the little werewolf Memie in his hands. "Leave the followers of the Broken Moon to me, Uriel. The new story is interesting, and I promise not to hurt you."
Her target turned out to be Meimi. "You used a guarantee in exchange for my story, Ms. Aurora, this is not the agreement between us." Uriel barely stood still and he answered loudly. "I gave you the story. We were given treasure and your friendship, not false promises."
"Then, this time I swear to Otto that I will never hurt you." The goblin said, "You are an astrologer and you should know that Knox has no more reliable oath than the oath of fate. The City of the Moon is collapsing. , I can even ask Timir to protect your safety. As long as you hand over the wolf to me——"
"Impossible!" the little werewolf screamed. "You will kill me! The elf will kill me! Uriel knows everything, he will not do this!"
His voice broke through the roar, and he was even more confident than the apprentice himself.
Slowly, Uriel picked up Meimi's collar, and the little gray wolf looked at him with a blank face. The apprentice saw fear gradually showing in those golden pupils, and his voice became softer. He tried not to laugh.
It's time for you to be more honest now. "In fact, I have no need for your protection and commitment. And compared to Otto, swearing to Gaia is more consistent with my beliefs." Uriel told her, "Among the treasures we deserve, one of Memie's share."
The apprentice jumped back to avoid the goblin's water cannon. When the masonry shattered, the werewolf Meme was still shouting angrily in his hand. "Stop scaring me!" He put the stupid wolf under his arm and let it avoid the sharp stones in disgrace.
"I have to hide you quickly." Uriel complained, "Have you known for a long time that this is the City of the Moon and Aurora is a demon and an accomplice of the Nameless One?"
"It's not that clear. But I don't think she likes me."
"Maybe she likes you too much. Why can't I see what use you are?"
"I'm not a goblin!" Meimi didn't know either. A water cannonball grazed his forehead, and the little gray wolf quickly buried the tip of his nose in his paws, never daring to show his head again.
Ms. Aurora stopped negotiating. A dense ring of water appeared behind her, and the magic arrows that shot out quickly covered the sky and the sun.
"My Goddess." Uriel pulled open the parchment in his arms without thinking. The dazzling shelter spread out, and powerful water cannons hit it, like iron arrows hitting wooden shields, with a dull sound.
"Throw him far away!" The adventurer turned into light and rushed towards the goblin, and she immediately turned into water and disappeared. The two elemental beings became entangled in the rain of gravel.
The recovery of magic power was accompanied by the attack of sadness, and Uriel couldn't help but take a breath. He immediately canceled the magic and swung a sharp blade with his short sword. But this time the steel rock was not broken cleanly. The short sword was just ordinary iron after all.
Knights and sculptures came in like waves. Uriel couldn't help but despair at the number of enemies. Even if he held a long sword in his hand, he couldn't possibly deal with so many enemies. He first chopped open the helmet of an armor and let it fall over weakly. Then the apprentice stuffed Meimi into the empty shell and stabbed it with a thin sword.
The cold and hot heat brought out the vitality in tandem, and Uriel couldn't help but scream. The statue riding a stone horse behind him drew out his spear, but the knight on the side had no time to sheath his sword. The apprentice gritted his teeth and grasped the slender round blade that penetrated the shoulder, turned sideways and used his elbow to knock off its helmeted head.
But such a counterattack is too weak. Uriel was not afraid of the lone knight in armor, but no one gave him a chance to fight alone. Memie screamed in the iron shell, and he staggered and raised it to block a charge from the knight statue.
There was a sound of metal hitting——
The irresistible weight crushed his defense, and Uriel took Meimi's armor and hit a stone step, only a short distance from Black Moon Lake. The apprentice climbed up with difficulty, and the knight and the statue finally moved away from them. But before he could feel lucky, sparkling ripples suddenly appeared on the lake surface.
"!!"
"Every drop of water is a fairy"
"Gaia!" Uriel almost rolled his eyes. He didn't know what to do for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Meimi couldn't see outside and scratched at the steel rock with her claws.
"It's not a big problem..." Maybe the goblin in Black Moon Lake is not as powerful as Aurora. He tried to imagine possible lucky situations for himself. But soon, the water in the entire lake started to dance, turning into shining silver ribbons in mid-air. "...But I can't solve it."
"Do I have time to leave a last message to myself?" the werewolf asked crying.
"If you can write, then maybe you can. I believe no one can help you deliver messages now." In the face of death, Uriel was not as calm as he thought. He even regretted it a little. The apprentice felt that his palms were very wet, and he didn't know that the color on his face had also lost.
I finally understand how Meimi felt before. If I promise Aurora, Meimi will be killed. That would be equivalent to killing him with my own hands. The blood loss made him dizzy, but not enough to make him lose his mind. I did the right thing.
Magic falls like a curtain of rain——
A familiar coldness hit his face, but the parchment showed no reaction. Uriel knew that he had lost his will to fight death, and the Scroll of Oath refused to respond to him. I will die in adventure, like a mercenary, like a true adventurer.
It was the first time Uriel felt such joy. Even before he came to Knox, he wanted to be an adventurer: to put his crazy ideas into practice, travel through mountains and deep valleys, and spend his hard-earned savings. After his fateful journey, he would record his experiences and write them into stories or even books for later generations to read.
Maybe in the book he would beautify himself a little to make victory sweeter, although Uriel didn't know if this would fool others. But in his own case, the writing skills of those senior adventurers were enough to do this.
The apprentice stared at the night sky. He suddenly realized that he never wanted to be an ordinary person, let alone live an ordinary life. Before he died, he realized that it was not Joey who awakened his desire to live, but his longing for an extraordinary life.
The first water bomb penetrated his left arm, and pain was the only feeling that did not flow out together with the blood. The water was so cold that Uriel felt numb. Then there will be a second one, going under the ribs, and a third one going through the chest. The arrows would not stop until the goddess appeared to him. He half-knelt down in pain, hoping to be less tortured before going to sleep...
...A crystal curtain of ice and snow stood in front of him.
