"Corpse." Uriel couldn't help but say.
"Indeed, it's not breathing," Ring agreed, "Do you want to touch it and see?"
"The Ice Sea Tribe has all disappeared, and the bodies should not be left behind." The apprentice pointed out angrily. "You should go take a closer look. What's going on?"
"Obviously, it was thrown out"
At this moment, Uriel really wanted to learn the same skills from the mysterious place. "I'd say you can obviously see more useful information."
"Oh, that's not necessarily the case. I think constructive suggestions are worse than falling on deaf ears for you." Sauron sarcastically said, "Anyway, wherever the south wind blows, you can go wherever it blows."
"As I said, I can get more help in the dream world. There is no need to inform you of everything. Saving time will do no harm to either of us, wise Mr. Gershon."
"The dream is still changing, Uriel! If you're really capable, let Magdalen send you back to reality. Let her know at the head office.」
The ring stubbornly believed that Uriel's so-called anchor point was a lie to prevaricate it. In fact, only the prevarication attitude was correct. The apprentice found it a thankless task to persuade him. Mr. Ring himself was just performing his duties and trying his best to keep him out of danger. The root cause of the conflict between the two sides is still the information gap. I've told too many lies and now I'm finally getting the taste of my life.
"Without an anchor point, Ms. Mabel can't send me back." But he could only insist. “I had to find a mentor.”
"That's right." The word "Shuang" was slapped on his face, "Why don't you go to the high tower and give it a try"
"Tell me the characteristics of the Ice Sea Tribe." Even if no one came here thousands of years ago, Uriel didn't believe that future astrologers would let the snowfield go. The Harp Witch Helen Dorothea is a member of the Fate Coven. There is no reason for the tower to let this mysterious place add burden to its work of maintaining order. "You recognize this place, just as you recognize that Mortus is actually the Black City."
The writing melted. In a polar cave where the wind is biting and dripping water turns into ice. The only heat in the place is the air breathed by the apprentice. Its cover was full of holes, and it could no longer fool Uriel's eyes.
Uriel ignored it. Most people who know the Scroll of Oath are aware of his ability to detect lies, and therefore choose to mislead him with the truth to hide the truth. But he has his own judgment. The parchment was also a cover for him to mislead others, and Soren Gessen was fooled.
"Why are you mentioning that damn place?" There are indeed many places called Mortus, and it would be a pain to look them up. Aren’t you also secretive about your dreams? Don’t tell anyone”
If you tell us about the existence of spiritual vision, you will no longer feel that the conditions are equal. Uriel thought as he walked around a corner. "What's the secret there?"
"Secrets you shouldn't know," Sauron wrote slowly, "Those who know too much will be in bad luck, Uriel. Although I am happy to do this, according to regulations, I must obey the master's orders. Did you bring his approval?"
Uriel obviously didn't. There must be a basis for lies. Sauron is not a wise leader, but it is not easy to fool him.
"Since you are good at guessing riddles, then keep guessing."
"When I find a mentor, he will agree."
Uriel has gone deep into the ice cave, and there is no light around him. The runes on the ring flickered, and he simply held it up in front of him for illumination. This is already inside the iceberg, and it is unlikely that life exists. The apprentice decided to start with Parsur, and there was a high probability that she would be able to find Joey. After the tribal meeting, Parsur disappeared and was never seen again. Fortunately, no matter what, I have a way to find her.
He let the fire actively spread consciousness, looking for the companions of the Nameless One. The ground gradually tilted, the air became stagnant, and the ice spikes falling disorderly above the head were the most direct threat. But surprisingly, he didn't find even a fork in the road. This is enough to give explorers a sense of security.
"If we encounter enemies here," Uriel said softly, "I won't worry. It will be no problem to escape from the tunnel." Thinking of the strangeness of the frost giants, he added: "The mysterious environment outside is even more interesting. Mitigation of harm.”
"You'd better not believe it"
"Of course. A fatal injury is still a fatal injury, even if I don't feel it. The missing Mars is actually dead, just like the corpse. But the Ice Sea Tribe weakened the sense of crisis."
"Are you feeling a sense of crisis now?"
Uriel had already tightened his grip on his weapon when he entered the ice cave. Regardless of whether he was aware of the problem or not, being on guard had long been his habit. "I will always be careful. Please check my state of mind for me, wise Mr. Gerson."
"Ask me, you are already under the influence of the mysterious" the ring mocked.
The apprentice frowned: "Already?"
"The frost giant lost his life, but your thinking is limited to the degree of damage and the sense of crisis." The white frost spreads all the way. "If you believe that a mysterious place is full of danger, you will be wary of it, just to let it impose mystery and affect your judgment."
"What would I think if I wasn't affected?"
"I warned you," the ring wrote, "the Ice Tribe is the domain of death."
It seems that the fallen plane Gavash has a competitor. "You said that," he admitted, "but you also said that this place can also bring new life to people."
"Death is new life"
The topic seems to have entered the realm of philosophy. "In a sense, you're telling the truth. But how does that relate to the impact on me?"
The ring pinched his finger. "No connection?" That’s okay with you, eh? If death is rebirth, why should you be afraid of death? Just give yourself a knife, I've had enough."
Should there be a problem? Uriel couldn't understand. But he could think about Sauron's meaning logically rather than emotionally: "You mean, the Ice Sea Tribe is making people lose their fear of death."
"right. Mysteriously tampering with your instincts, blurring the boundaries between life and death.』
A chill ran through my heart. "We have to get out of here." Uriel understood completely. He realized the seriousness of the impact of the mysterious place: "If they lose their fear, people will easily die. Will there be any impact after leaving?"
"You will die here, but don't think about leaving again," Sauron warned, "It's better to leave now."
Maybe I should listen to it. Uriel thought to himself, what if this was the real world. At the moment, the mysterious place is just a reflection in Joey's dream, but the power is still there. Mr. Ring's warning was greatly discounted. He groped forward, and Sauron could do nothing but light the runes to prevent him from falling or being attacked.
After crawling through an extremely smooth clearing, Uriel found traces. "Someone is injured." The coagulated blood dropped all the way into the darkness. Uriel followed without hesitation.
Somehow, a weird sound came into his head again. The apprentice subconsciously reached out to grab the parchment in his pocket. According to experience, the source of his hallucinations was entirely the residue of the side effects of the Scroll of Oath. That was all he could deduce.
But the feedback has been beyond imagination. Uriel shuddered. The voice was still there, but suddenly, his thoughts took a bizarre turn - he felt that he should not be reckless, going deep into the endless ice cave for an unproven intuition, and believed that Joey and Parsul were hiding there. Inside. In fact, this place is full of dangers. Even if there is no one around, the emptiness and claustrophobia breeds fear.
Why get in here? The cliffs of the tribe have hundreds of crevices to explore. Joey left no footprints or traces of climbing at the entrance of the cave, not to mention the fire guidance of Parsur as the Nameless One... nothing...
Including light and fire. After all, why don't I use magical lighting? The apprentice frowned and lit the flame. "I seem to understand what you mean, Sauron." He gripped the parchment uneasily. “The Bible restored my sanity.”
"The devil leader has warned you before."
"Nedia," Uriel remembered. Nadia Astrid and the Pure Land she seeks. Stairway to heaven. "Key" and the border of order. "Is this the edge of order?"
"I think there's still a long way to go," said the ring. "It's almost at the level of Glimmer Forest, far inferior to Gray-winged Bird Island."
Since it is not considered the edge of order, Uriel has completely figured it out. "This is the Stairway to Heaven."
"a flight of stairs"
"What do you mean?"
"Confidential matters" Sauron gave the reason again, "You will know them one day, Uriel, but the time limit is not decided by me, the master will tell you...but I guess it will be when you cross the ring step"
"It wouldn't be good for me to know, right?" the apprentice muttered.
"Having said that, if you discover the answer to the mystery yourself, the tower's confidentiality work will no longer target you."
"real?"
"But I can." His breath condensed into mist, and he almost hit the apprentice's face. "I suggest you think carefully about your words and actions. Do you have any other ways to obtain tower records?』
At this moment, Uriel would take into consideration even the information about the little lion Roma without hesitation. But now in a dream, no one can help in this regard except Sauron the Ring. Forget it, it's not the first time I've been teased by this guy. Flattery costs nothing.
"Shut up! there's noise"
Can you hear me? Uriel immediately extinguished the magic and rubbed the ring in surprise. But as he held his breath, a familiar voice became clear. Joey? Only then did the apprentice realize that Sauron was not referring to the echo in his head. Someone really spoke not far away. He found them. The smell of blood and imprints urged him to step forward to investigate the situation.
…
Three gods, what do you mean? Mike didn't understand. He felt like he was trapped in a trap, but the threads were light and transparent, making it impossible to find, let alone break free. Logically speaking, he shouldn't take this woman's dying curse to heart, but...
It turns out that you are also controlled by Him.
I must be crazy, the emperor thought, to be worried about such nonsense. The gods are gone, and the relics of the gods may still have power, but Gaia’s used wine cup is not equal to Gaia, and his belt, boots, and feather mattress do not scream any oracle.
If you have time to study whether your actions are controlled by God, why not go to the school grounds and listen to the chants. It is imperative to attack Alanwo, and even the preparations have been completely completed. As soon as the frost moon passes and the empire's flag climbs over the snowy mountains, the Silver Song Knights will take over the land north of the Black Moon River. Even if gods do exist, the evil gods of the moon elves must be as blind and deaf as Heather. Huh, of course he didn't dare to say anything. We have three gods, don't we?
"This is your ability, right? Tell me." The elf saint's voice weakened, "Tell me."
Answering your doubts costs nothing. "You guessed it right. I am a natural ruler, whether for mortals or mysterious creatures." The emperor declared in a calm tone, "If talent is divine grace, it means that the gods also recognize my status. This is natural. Destroy Alan After Wo, the laws of the empire are the order of the world, and the gods will never go against the order."
"Really? Look, the contract will be severed."
Mike understood her purpose. "Of course, there is a way to break any magic. The simplest answer is mystery." She wanted to find a way to break the contract. This woman didn't know the reason for the break of the contract. By now, he had lost interest in her. "You even think about that bastard? What a waste of effort. Even without the mysterious restraint, Joey would be back in his place."
"I promised him freedom." Parsour said dimly. "He loves me, and this is the only thing I can give him. He chose me. Not you."
"If my guess is correct, you were his best choice at that time. Because there was only one option."
"Why?" She didn't understand. "Why?"
"Each of you has his own god. His belonging is Gaia, not Heather."
“Hypocrisy has no power.”
"Hypocrisy?" The emperor couldn't help but laugh, "What a fool who claims to be pious! Your evil god is a false god, so what can your faith be?" He turned his head again to enjoy the polar scenery. The knight stood up on his own without his command. "Let me tell you, the Mercury Temple allowed Joey to lead the Silver Song Knights who were assigned to the wizards, not because I opened the back door for him. He is a qualified Gaia believer."
The Elf Saint's eyes were full of confusion. After all, the knight had never left a relevant impression on her, and Mike could completely imagine Joey's attitude. "After the assassination at the wedding, the Silver Song Knights first investigated the guards from within. But when they found Joey, our Archbishop was even willing to testify for him unconditionally."
Through the ice, the emperor could see the surprise on the face of the Elf Saint. "Why?" she repeated.
"Because it's the truth." What lie is more trustworthy than the truth? "Believe it or not. For Joey himself, I'm afraid the Church of Gaia is far more useful than Mortus."
"Church...?" She didn't understand. "What's the use of church?"
“For God’s sake, what good is a church?”
…
Parsul still didn't understand, but the emperor didn't want to waste any more time on her. White frost climbed onto her face, and soft warmth enveloped her consciousness. As if this was the last mercy he could show me. May Heather bless him.
Even before his death, Parsur could not clear up his doubts. After all, there are too many questions in the world for which the answers cannot always be satisfactory. Or rather, rarely satisfying. I don't have time to explore anymore. she thought. I had many opportunities.
After all, the journey is such a long one.
The error-free chapters of "Floating Cloud Train" will continue to be updated.
