On the sterling silver altar, black mist continued to surge and swirl. The seal of ice and snow crackled into pieces, and the messenger leaned on the ground with his sword. Frost spread over his body, showing a strange burning state from the inside out. What beats in his eyes is the flash of his soul, which is hotter than fire and colder than solid ice.
Maybe he thought about the shadows wailing in the frozen hell, maybe he never cared about them. He is the current dependent of the stars, the envoy of the tower patrolling the countries, and the guardian of the stability and peace of Knox. He is the guardian of winter. The Broken Moon cannot corrode his soul.
The seven-pointed star on the shoulder of the White Envoy is shining with luster, just like the dark red coat of arms on the flag.
…
The Moon Festival ends with the first rays of dawn.
Uriel said goodbye under a signboard decorated with copper wine glasses. The Knox Mercenary Group finally avenged their shame and completely defeated the Holy Knights of the Glorious Council. After all, Arabella still failed to get the chance to protect the lord. The adventurer invited Danlfien to leave with him. He had known the Earl of Ice for a long time.
"Thank you for your help." After this adventure, Uriel's view of the noble lady has also changed to a certain extent. She has an adventurous spirit that is completely different from Cecilia's, and staying safe is alien to her.
"If I don't have to stay in this damn place for decades." The young earl shook the broken fur shoulder, "Who cares what it became?" She was helped onto the horse by Calder himself, and Pulling the reins, showing complete arrogance and confidence. Uriel recalled the sight of her crying on her brother's body. It seemed that I was not the only one who had grown up.
Then there's York. He gave him a hug and patted the apprentice on the back. "I never thought you could accompany me on my adventure." He was emotional. "There will always be a place for you in my team, man. May Lucia bless you."
"Don't always put too much pressure on yourself." Uriel comforted the orange-faced man before leaving, "You have tried your best, and Gaia will know your dedication and understand your hard work." He is no better than your appearance. West Asia is more careless, but can also protect the pagans. As for the adventurer's path, Gaia may understand my efforts, but the astrologers in the tower may not. He was a little worried about whether he could meet the messenger's requirements.
York and Painter also mounted their horses, and Dentist Hope fearfully stepped on the pedals. The dwarf wanted to give him a ride, but Uriel refused. He would rather go find Joey by himself. He intuitively felt that the other party didn't want to be seen by others.
Sure enough, the rooftop of the castle was still covered with frost and snow. The cardinals of the Council were frozen in ice cubes like seafood sold on the street, while the messenger, leaning against an icicle, seemed to be meditating on the altar with his eyes closed. The apprentice approached cautiously, and before he could speak, he saw the young man stretching out his hand towards him.
As soon as Joey put on the ring Sauron, it immediately disappeared from the neck up. Uriel vaguely noticed that his leather armor was stained with blood, and was immediately startled. However, upon closer inspection, he did not find any wounds on his body.
"Next, let's go back to Chloe directly." The messenger informed him to be prepared, mainly to take the bishop with him. "When Kamaria disappears completely, I will open the Star Gap."
"The moon has disappeared?" The point that the apprentice grasped was not that they would reach the tower. "Why?"
"The Sacrifice of the Moon is a large-scale mysterious ritual initiated with the help of the magic power of the Black Moon Tide. The Broken Moon tries to devour the lost parts of itself based on the layout of the goblins to complete itself. Of course, this Holy White City was eaten by him. ”
"What about werewolves and goblins?"
"The werewolves are still the same. As long as Meimi is not devoured, they will have no influence." Joey paused for a moment, "As for the water fairies, they can choose to continue living in the Black Moon River, or move collectively to new waters. "
"Why does the Black Moon River still exist?" It should have dried up thousands of years ago.
"The Black Moon River symbolizes the cracks in the moon." Joey told Uriel, "As long as the moon does not complete itself, it will always exist. Enough, you have too many problems." He stretched out his hand and held it in the void. Something happened, his wrist twisted, and the golden door opened in front of him.
Uriel thought he would light the fireworks like last time, but then he realized that that was not a necessary step to activate the matrix array. Since he was focused on the sky at the time, he suddenly thought, I didn't pay attention to Joey's movements.
"Sometimes you need to tell others what's going on." Joey saw his confusion, "This is Eastman."
The apprentice could barely understand what he meant. As a patrol messenger, Joey could not come uninvited and leave the kingdom unprepared. It's nice to have a garrison, but Mr. Eads will no longer be in charge of Eastman's affairs. Especially after the coordinates were damaged, Uriel knew that the envoy might be deliberately concealing his location.
The messenger was the first to step into the Starlight Path. He hesitated for a moment and suddenly told his apprentice: "The information on the Floating Cloud Train is highly confidential. You'd better not leak it."
He did not mention the level of confidentiality to me. This made Uriel aware of a possibility, but he did not choose to ask directly. Just like the sword against the paladin in front of the store, I should trust Joey. It was the same in front of the bar and in the castle, and it still remains today. There is no doubt about it. He felt that he might have experienced too many lies in this holy white royal city, and his thoughts became crazy.
Cardinal's ice cubes are too heavy. The apprentice tried to pull it off, but failed. "Help," he asked.
The messenger had no choice but to come down and help him move it. Uriel subconsciously relaxed and almost stubbed his toe. He felt his hands and feet became even more numb, and he couldn't help but doubt the dentist's diagnosis.
"Can't you unfreeze him?"
"..."
"I don't think we can move him to the steps. The elven craftsmen built it too high."
"Shut up."
…
The star-studded road does not require walking with both feet. Before Uriel could stand firmly behind the door, he felt that the surrounding scenery had changed. He seemed to be standing on the edge of a cliff, taking one step and falling from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley. He couldn't help but admit that this process was quite exciting, because he was so exhausted that he knelt on the ground directly, and the frozen seafood slid to the side.
A pair of hands held the apprentice's shoulders, almost lifting him up. "Good boy, are you okay? This kind of injury looks familiar to me. Go and have a rest. You look like you haven't slept in two days." The voice was as warm and powerful as his hands. "What's your name? Uriel, right?"
The apprentice stood gratefully where he stood. "Thank you, sir, that's right."
Joey stepped out of the golden door behind him, and the ice sculpture fell to the ground with a thud. The messenger gave him a cold look. The doctors from the rescue team swarmed around and carried the bishop away in a hurry. A few unlucky ones were so cold that they gasped through their gloves.
"I'm going to find Demosis," he said.
"Don't tell me to talk too much, Commander, I see that your condition is not very good." The man supporting the apprentice said, "The rescue team——"
"They couldn't handle it, so I went to him."
The end of the Star Gap is a not-so-spacious lounge, no different from a normal attic. Joey opened the door, and there was a staircase leading directly outside. He walked up the steps without stopping, his footsteps hitting the ground.
"It seems the situation is more serious than we thought."
Standing opposite was a middle-aged scholar wearing a robe, wearing a pair of flat glasses, with an elegant manner and a kind tone. It's hard to say that his face has any characteristics. His facial features are standard human, his skin color is very common, and even his hair is neatly ironed. There is only a bunch of curly hair on the left ear, which looks like the marks left by curling pencils all the time.
The middle-aged scholar said: "I have never seen him so eager."
I didn't see that. Uriel didn't know what the astrologers thought of the Broken Moon, so he decided to talk about other topics first. "Shall I follow, sir?"
"Don't act stupid in front of me, kid. Haynes must have told you about Lord Sage. I've had enough trouble dealing with imps recently. As an apprentice of the White Envoy, you should be more sensible than Roma. replied the astrologer.
Uriel immediately knew who he was: "Mr. Eds mentioned me? You must be Mr. Larsen, right?" He couldn't help but ask.
"I get all kinds of questions every day, but you are still in the minority. I hope I don't happen to be your idol, which is always embarrassing - maybe we will meet every day." Larsen Gala He said, stepping back to make room. A petite female doctor immediately pushed forward and stuffed something that looked like a belt roll into the apprentice's mouth. "How does it taste?" He blinked.
Uriel almost choked on her, but the thing softened quickly. He tasted a very strong mint smell and couldn't help but sneeze. "What is that?" The apprentice was so stimulated that he forgot to answer.
"An alchemical medicine made from cicada sloughs, very popular in Blumnot. Although the alchemists are happy to sell it as a dessert, in fact it is a tranquilizer, and eating too much on the street will give sanitation workers Causes trouble. But it’s nothing here, you are too tired and need to rest.”
As soon as Larson finished speaking, Uriel felt an overwhelming sleepiness. The great astrologer watched the female doctor help the boy to the bed, and then turned on the heating switch. In the blur, Uriel felt like a loaf of bread about to be put into the oven.
"Bai..." He tried to struggle.
"My teacher will help him solve the problem. You don't need to worry about him. If you have any questions, you can talk about it later. This is the inside of the tower, the safest place in the City of Floating Clouds. I will let you see you when you wake up. My boss, he definitely didn’t expect you to meet again so soon.” Larsen, the great astrologer, said.
He really didn't lie to him. When Uriel opened his eyes at noon three days later, the druid Eze Haynes was sitting on the sofa in the lounge. In response to the apprentice's movements, he just turned his head slightly and seemed to hum a sentence from his nose:
"Welcome to Chloe, Uriel."
