He felt like he was in a cloud, and all the heat from his body seemed to be taken away by the moisture. There is only a faint magical glow in the darkness, which makes people's hearts beat. The Mystery of Pain ushered in a moment of explosion after a long warm-up. It changed from an autonomous magical ritual to someone's subordinate mystery. Order weakly blocked the abnormal magic at the border, and then let it go.
'Your eyes have eyes and your ears have ears'
The world became clear again, and Uriel saw that Dalton was still standing next to him, and Roma was being held by Joy. She kicked her claws wildly and screamed out of fright. When the kid finally remembered that she was a Windrunner who could use magic, she quickly calmed down.
After noticing his gaze, Joey threw Roma over. Dalton held her like a shadow. Uriel stood there, shocked by the vast mystery in the darkness. He finally saw the souls, but not through his eyes, and his fire trembled with the familiar sensation. "The Nameless One."
"The alchemical core." The messenger said, "That is the key to the secret ritual."
The Mysteries of Pain can only be accessed by soul, he remembered. The souls of the Nameless Ones are more fiery than ordinary people, and require no arcane rituals to ignite a fire. Although Uriel has not yet understood the secret ritual, the potion prepared by Drablay under the Cauldron Pool has clearly shown that it is closely related to the power of the soul. After figuring out the key, the feeling of mist passing over his skin began to make his hair stand on end. "How could the Oath Keepers Alliance..."
"In my hometown, the night elves threw demons into the bottomless cloud wells to keep company with bastards and corpses," Dalton said. He turned to look at Roma, "You are a creature of order, you cannot feel sorry for them."
Only then did Uriel realize that Roma and Joey were not just talking about vampires and vampires, but also demons. She put her soul into contact with the pain of those people and was deeply affected by it.
"I almost couldn't come back." The little lion said softly, "Not only because I couldn't find the core of the secret ritual, but also, there were other reasons. Previously, I didn't understand other people's pain and just wanted to pursue a happy ending. ” She slowed down. “But is it fair if the happiness we pursue is other people’s hell?”
"Demons massacred mortals." Drow reminded. "They destroyed the Six-Finger Castle, turning the Garden of Flowing Waters to Silverdome City into ruins, and millions of people were displaced."
"We slaughter each other."
"But for more people alive."
"Do you know the Nameless One?" Uriel asked.
"I dare not claim to know their prey in front of demon hunters." Dalton replied, "But the church often catches demons and burns these people on the rack. I know vampires better."
"Don't listen to the Gaia Church's nonsense. Those who are burned on the stake are not necessarily demons."
"This sentence is really unique to hear from the mouth of a clerical knight." He couldn't help but say. For strangers meeting for the first time, this kind of joke seems too frivolous. "I didn't mean it, Uriel."
The apprentice didn't mind.
Roma asked: "Then when you execute the vampires, will you show mercy to them?"
"No." Dalton replied decisively, "Even if I say yes, there is no point. I will not let the enemy go because of sympathy, so it is best to harden my heart." At this point, he paused and his voice changed. Then humbled. "I am a night elf, and I recognize my bloodline. Night elves will not tolerate enemies."
"So you killed Ingrid?"
"Do you know Ingrid?" Dalton frowned.
"I just heard about this person." Roma said. Uriel also seemed to have heard of this name.
"I killed her because she betrayed me. It had nothing to do with vampires."
"Maybe she has difficulties, not just for herself. Of course, you don't need to know this. But I heard that the Earl of the Bay is still alive. You killed Miss Ingrid out of hatred, and killed the Vampires out of hatred for being a night elf. Why? Why don’t you kill that human for deception?”
The night elves were silent for a few seconds. "He is protected by the Silent School, and now by a high tower. However, protection is not forever, and revenge has no time limit."
He nodded to Uriel.
Before darkness fell, they came to an agreement on this issue. There was no friendship between Uriel and DeWitt, and Dalton helped Roma. The scandal that took place at Tidecastle Castle was widely circulated in Knight's Bay. The apprentice could tell the truth beneath the lies, and there was no reason for him to help DeWitt Hearn.
"I came to Gray-winged Bird Island to find Aiken, and I also brought death here." Roma struggled with this problem. I really don’t know what happened to the little lion here. She seems to have become mature and brave. She dared to face things that she had been able to fool around in the past, but many adults couldn't. "Honestly, Dalton, would you save a hopeless person?"
At Screaming Keep, Uriel has made his decision. He wanted to see how the former captain of the earl's guard and now the most wanted criminal in the bay would respond.
"It depends on how you define 'hopeless'."
Roma was a little disappointed.
"The mystery of the Mysteries of Pain is being restored." The messenger interrupted their conversation. He declined to comment on whether it was Roma's sympathy or Dalton's insistence. This contradiction in ideas seemed to him as childish and unattractive as playing house.
The thick fog no longer flows, and the air is filled with strange magical flashes. The light appears as spots or crescents, like what you see when you look directly at the sun with your eyes closed. The mysterious weight gain accumulates on the fire, but this is not the real weight. It consumes the spirit, dispels the magic, and brings fatigue and fear.
"Will he succeed?" Although he thought Joey would not make a mistake in the key, the apprentice couldn't help but ask.
"Even if Drablay could control the power of the Arcana, it would be impossible to take advantage of its mystery."
"I don't understand the connection."
The messenger opened Sauron, the Ring of Night Whispers.
"Drabray replaced the Order and became the leader of the Painful Mystery," Mr. Ring explained, "He needs to consume his own power to maintain the mysterious phenomenon, because he alone cannot use the emotions of pain and despair. Even in the Sky Realm, it is difficult to induce mystery for a long time through the difference in mystery.』
Uriel understood: "Roma and the Lord of the Flame Moon destroyed the Sovero tobacco leaves." Prince Drablay will most likely be digested by the secret ritual in turn.
"He deserves it." Roma was no longer confused at this time. No matter in every aspect, Trolbane Drablay is the culprit of the Red Prophecy, and she hopes that he will die quickly. The night elf she had argued with earlier agreed.
"But, it's not like he has no chance at all." Sauron quickly poured cold water on him, "Trolban is an old guy who has lived since the War of Dawn after all. Even if his mystery level is still in the Sky Realm, he has accumulated more magic power. It's definitely beyond imagination. Otto allowed us to see a blood-red future, but prophetic dreams will always break through common sense, and they will not be biased towards one side.』
"Then I will pray to the goddess Heather." Roma said angrily, "Everyone here has their own beliefs. Hurry up and end this war! The gods are always blind and deaf, but if you don't even have a conscience, Without them, they would have nothing left.”
The gods are not all alone, Uriel touched the parchment. This stuff makes me a priest. Nanna was a victim of the Gulf War and she prayed to me before she died. Maybe she knows everything. Uriel did not understand the gods of Nox, but he knew that the goddess Gaia of the world would never respond to her. We all have our own gods, even though they may have the same name.
"He will only get failure." The messenger opened the door of the Star Gap in the darkness. Not all the golden runes lit up, but they were still dazzled.
"The line of law is smoothing out"
"The troops of the Oath Keepers Alliance are landing on the deck of the 'Unicorn'." Joey said, "The Gray Wing Island has gradually returned to Knox."
"Return?" Roma blurted out.
"The Mystery of Pain turned this island into a mysterious place. Now that its leader has changed, Drablay cannot do this," the ring explained dutifully.
"Captain Chaitan said that the airship needs time to get here, why is it so fast all of a sudden?" Could it be that Gray Wing Bird Island is similar to the Cloud Train in that it can travel through time?
"Time and space are not separated, don't worry," Sauron replied, "If we return to Knox before the Gulf War begins, then we have to worry."
It appears this is a common phenomenon across the occult world. But before Uriel had time to relax, he realized a new problem. "Then we have to leave here before tomorrow." The news from the tower is that the Silent School will intervene on the battlefield in a week.
But he was not the most anxious. "Better leave now," said the messenger. "I will inform Larsen and let the Silent School intervene in advance." He stared at the darkness under the pit, as if he was staring at the dying fish on the beach. "The Mystery is doomed to fail."
This is not a guess, but an inevitable outcome, because we learned of Drablay's plan in advance, and because the demon destroyed the Cauldron. Roma climbed into the crevice first, followed closely by Uriel and Dalton. They quickly found the pipe.
The messenger comes last. He didn't have to climb up to the dome as hard as they did, so he waited at the edge of the rock. Roma and Uriel frequently looked back at the pit, but he didn't look down at all.
"Joy." Uriel stopped when Dalton's shadow disappeared around the corner of the pipe. "Did you see the secret of the alchemy core in Tielong Port?"
