When the Paladins arrived here, there was only an open space lit by the cold moon.
But the dark element that was so thick that it could almost drip down did not dissipate. That gloomy and cold feeling pressed heavily on the chests of everyone, blocking the throat like cotton, making people instinctively fearful.
The leader of the knight stepped forward slowly, the armor reflecting the silver light on his body made a heavy metal strike with his steps, he bent down, and picked up the half-cut hand on the grass with his iron fingers.
The hand was pale and stiff, the nails were pitch-black, and the cross-section was smooth and flat. You could even see the muscles and bones that had been cut off. The dark purple blood was half-coagulated, and it was as viscous as asphalt under the moonlight.
At a glance, it is obvious that it is not human.
The knight wrapped it carefully and stood up.
His complexion was heavy and extremely ugly, and he said, "Withdraw."
This severed hand was placed in a dark wooden box, and was sent to the Temple of Light in the center of the empire day and night, and was finally presented to the chief priest.
The chief priest seemed to be a hundred years old.
He looked at the stiff fingers, and his voice was slow and heavy: "The thing I am most worried about has happened."
Everyone around was holding their breath.
"The demons finally found a way to break through the seal."
The chief priest raised a wrinkled hand, and with a short but powerful chant, the incantation pattern appeared in mid-air, and the scene that had just been transmitted appeared in front of everyone.
"During this time, we caught three Necromancers."
Miserable howls came from the screen, resounding through the empty hall, mixed with indistinct whispers and confessions.
"They have confessed to the plans of the demons."
The priest's voice was old and majestic:
"Go all out to find a human named Gosho—at all costs, life and death."
·
When Ge Xiu opened his eyes, he hardly knew where he was.
The space here is so huge that it is impossible to tell whether it is a cave or a palace for a while. All around are dark and hard smooth rocks, cut into flat walls, with countless intricate line patterns engraved on them, and countless naturally formed lighting gems on the top of the head, illuminating the place as bright as day.
Ge Xiu jumped off the high stone bed, slowly paced to the wall, and carefully examined the murals above.
The murals are very long, and the farthest part has been eroded and blurred. It seems to have been passed down from generation to generation. The text looks extremely ancient, and the twisted lines are combined into a language that has long since disappeared and time. Ge Xiu cannot read it, only The pictures on the side are recognizable. It depicts a group of giant wolves with wings on their backs. The pictures with simple lines extend upward into the darkness at the top of the wall, as if depicting the fate of each wolf, each derived from A branch, telling their story, and then breaking somewhere in the distance.
Ge Xiu was fascinated, and walked slowly along the wall, his fingers gently stroked the uneven lines on the cold stone wall.
He stopped abruptly.
I don’t know when it started, there were more and more blanks on the wall, the complicated lines that almost completely covered the entire stone wall gradually disappeared, and finally only a lonely branch line remained.
Further back, there are shallow, messy lines, interwoven into unrecognizable lines, it seems that these pictures are not carved, but emerge from the bottom of the rock wall, and the latest picture has not yet had time. be fully presented to the reader.
Just then, a low male voice came from behind:
"This is the wall of inheritance."
Gossi turned his head to look.
A tall man slowly walked out of the darkness, and the clear footsteps struck the ground, echoing throughout the empty space.
His face is illuminated.
Light and shadow alternated on his handsome facial features, the brilliance of the scarlet eyeballs flowed, and the pupils shrunk into narrow slits like a cold-blooded animal.
He walked towards Ge Xiu step by step.
Ge Xiu stood in the same place without retreating, looking back thoughtfully.
Eileen stopped just half a step away from Ge Xiu. He lowered his head and stared at the boy who was half a head shorter than himself. His scarlet pupils reflected the shrinking face of the other party. Then, he leaned over slightly. , raised his hand and touched the cold and hard stone wall.
The distance between the two was shortened in an instant, almost holding the slender boy in his arms. The man wrapped in the cold and bloody breath like a net to wrap him densely, and the limbs that were close to each other seemed to be close to each other.
"Since the creation of the world, this stone wall has stood here, and it depicts the fate of all our tribes."
His low voice swayed in the icy air, as if telling an ancient mysterious legend.
Ge Xiu followed his fingers.
The last picture that can be clearly identified is a wounded wolf that is falling into the abyss.
Yi Leno's bloody eyes sank: "There is only one Fenrir left."
Ge Xiu was slightly startled.
He raised his eyes to look at the densely written ancient words on the wall, and asked, "What are those words written?"
"-Past, present, Future."
Eleanor straightened up and looked up at the wall that recorded the fate of his people: "Every prophecy that appears on the stone slabs will be fulfilled."
Ge Xiu tilted his head, pointed to the fuzzy and messy lines at the end of the mural, and asked thoughtfully, "If that's the case, can you now identify what is written in that area?"
"It was difficult before."
Elano narrowed his eyes slightly: "But since yesterday, it has gradually become clearer."
He pointed to a sharp, machete-like symbol and said softly, "In Fenrir's language, it means death."
Ge Xiu suddenly asked, "Do you have a knife?"
Yi Leno looked down at him: "Huh?"
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows: "I'll see if I can change it for you."
Elinor smiled lowly, his strong chest pressed against the boy's thin shoulder blades, and passed the slight vibration: "Thank you, but it's useless."
Ge Xiu raised his eyes to look at him, and pouted angrily: "I still like when you have hair."
There was still a smile in Leno's scarlet eyes. Then, before Ge Xiu could react, the sturdy body behind him suddenly swelled and became soft and huge. In the next second, a shadow completely wiped out Ge Xiu. The whole earth was shrouded under it, and the huge Fenrir bowed his head, and the shriveled face of Ge Xiu was reflected in the blood-colored vertical scorpion. Although it was the face of a giant wolf, it somehow made people feel a kind of tolerance for no reason. and pampering.
Ge Xiu's eyes lit up: "It's so big!"
He opened his arms, threw himself on the giant wolf, rubbed his face deeply into the soft and thick fur, hugged the wolf fur in his arms, and sighed vaguely, "It's so comfortable!"
"… "
Eileen looked away, shaking his ears unnaturally.
Ge Xiu didn't seem to notice that his words were not rigorous, and the whole person was still immersed in the excitement of fluffy.
Elaine was afraid that he would fall, so he fell to the ground.
Ge Xiu was even more arrogant. He fell on the giant wolf's broad back, and happily buried himself in it. The feeling of being surrounded by soft fur was so cool, Ge Xiu rubbed left, rubbed right, this time rubbing, rubbing there , almost rolled directly on the opponent's body.
With Leno watching him indulgently, he even chose a more suitable position to let him play on his body.
—until the opposite hand stretched out a sinful hand to his own ear.
With a jerk, he subconsciously folded the pair of fluffy pointed ears back, almost touching the back of his head, but he still didn't dodge it, and was caught by Ge Xiu in his palms and kneaded.
Ge Xiu only felt that the soft fleshy membrane with delicate fluff was getting hotter and hotter, and it was almost hot to the hand, while the plush back that he regarded as a flesh cushion was getting stiffer and stiffer.
Leno clenched his fangs, not knowing how to speak for a moment.
The tip of the ear is the sensitive zone of the Fenrir family, and rubbing the ear of the other person means...
Courtship.
Finally, Ge Xiu seemed to have had enough. He let go of his hand, slid down Elinor's back, and leaned on him to regain his strength - the previous feeling under the full moon was obviously not an illusion, that hidden in The incantation under his skin seems to be absorbing the life force that devoured him. Every time the seal is opened, his body will weaken a little. Neglected.
Elinor shook his head without a trace, as if he wanted to shake off the scorching heat that followed his ears.
Ge Xiu did not find the other side unusual.
He breathed slowly and evenly, then turned his head to look at the giant wolf who was leaning on his back. After thinking quietly for a few seconds, he suddenly asked:
"So, what is your purpose?"
Yi Leno turned his head to look at Ge Xiu, who was curled up beside him.
The boy's face was pale, and the lines on his side face were delicate and beautiful, with a frightening sense of fragility, but his dark eyes were as deep as a pool, as if no light could penetrate, and there was a kind of almost calm in the bottom of his eyes. He was curious, as if he was just asking a simple question like the weather.
It is such a seemingly ordinary human who has become the top of the food chain in the abyss on the opposite side of the continent.
Elano moved a little closer.
The moist nose tip rubbed the opponent's neck without a trace—
Among the familiar smell of the teenager, there was a hint of... a stranger's breath.
It's like inserting abrupt notes in a perfectly harmonious rhythm.
Very light, almost melted into the icy air, it would be almost impossible to capture it if he hadn't transformed his body.
That is the rotten wood-like, but cold and rotten breath of death that belongs to the necromancer.
His eyes were slightly cold, and gloomy anger flashed through the deep vertical scorpion like a drop of blood.
Since he couldn't wait for the other party's response for a long time, Ge Xiu changed his method of inquiry:
"When I saw you at the bottom of the abyss, you were covered in bruises and hatred. I guess, you must not have fallen while walking by yourself, right?"
Ge Xiu buried his side face in the soft and thick back hair of the other party, his eyes as calm as a lake stared at the scarlet scorpion of the giant wolf, and continued:
"I can feel the change in you after you devoured that demon's flesh-intimacy, familiarity, just like the dark element made me feel, that's why you didn't want to eat for so long, right? ?"
Finally, he came to the conclusion:
"You don't want to be a dark creature because you want to leave, and you want to leave because there is something that must be done on the front of the continent?"
The boy's dark eyes seemed to be able to see through everything, with a heart-pounding insight:
"For example, revenge?"
Eileen stared at him fixedly, all the emotional ups and downs were suppressed in the scarlet scorpion, making his huge wolf-like look even more dangerous and terrifying.
Ge Xiu lay on his back, hooked his lips innocently, and said softly:
"I might be able to help."
The next second, Ge Xiu suddenly felt empty, the original strong sense of relying suddenly disappeared, and the sudden sense of weightlessness hit, he did not respond for a while, fell straight down, and then fell into a dizzy one. A firm, fiery embrace.
Elinor returned to human form without warning.
He used a pair of strong arms to hold the thin boy firmly in his arms, perfectly imprisoning him in the narrow space, he lowered his head, the emotions in his scarlet pupils were unclear, and his voice was low: "I do not need."
After a brief moment of surprise, Ge Xiu quickly calmed down.
He has always had the temperament of being at ease, and after finding that he can't break free, he is no longer ready to struggle again.
Ge Xiu calmly yawned a little, adjusted a comfortable posture in the other's arms, then raised his head and looked directly into the man's eyes:
"Of course, I believe you can still succeed without my help, but... why refuse? You should use all available resources now, don't you trust me?"
… It's not like this.
Leno lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes blocked the deep and complicated emotions in his eyes.
They once depended on each other at the bottom of the abyss and fought together—
even…
He was willing to fall into darkness for Ge Xiu, forever giving up the chance to return to the front of the mainland.
He also gave up the chance for revenge.
Such a choice was unimaginable for the former Elinor, however, at the critical moment at the time, he did so without hesitation.
Revenge is very important.
Every time he thinks of the humans and gods who betrayed him and framed him, violent anger surges from the bottom of his heart, and the desire for revenge can swallow his sanity in an instant.
But he was unwilling to risk the life of the person in his arms.
Perhaps the loss of Godhead made him weak.
The gods of war need not be weak.
He once tried to leave-they were drawn together by the impermanent fate, but the two straight lines must be separated after the intersection. He knew that this was the best for each other, but he couldn't control the fate of the other side. Divine Seal, to prevent the opponent from being in a life-threatening situation.
Now, as on the back of the continent, two almost identical options were placed in front of Elinor.
Gossi is a strong man.
His strength is not only in the precise control of the dark elements and the ultimate affinity, his wisdom and mind are his real fears, and he is still so determined and unshakable.
He will be a powerful helper on his way to revenge.
At this moment, Ge Xiu took the initiative to hand him an olive branch.
But... at the risk of losing the other.
Ge Xiu himself was already in a dangerous situation - the demons were arresting him day and night, and the Temple of Light was looking for him at any cost. .
Elano didn't mind keeping him under his protection, hidden forever and ever.
However, if he agrees to Ge Xiu's proposal, the threats coming from all directions will not only be humans and demons—
And God.
Yi Leno lowered his eyes and stared at the boy who was waiting for his answer, with a deep voice:
"unnecessary."
Ge Xiu sighed: "Unfortunately, whether you need it or not, I'm afraid I have to help."
What
Elano was taken aback.
Ge Xiu continued without anyone else: "When you were in the abyss, your body was full of light elements, so the dark elements flooded on the reverse side of the continent hurt you deeply. Although your body is strong, it's not that I can't see your growing weakness—and On the mainland front, the situation has not changed."
He narrowed his eyes slightly:
"After you become a dark creature, the bright elements on the front of the continent will definitely cause damage to you, but fortunately, if the seal is loosened, there will still be dark elements leaking out continuously to nourish and replenish you, but I guess, I am afraid it is far away. Isn't it enough?"
Elano didn't answer, but his body was slightly tense.
Ge Xiu smiled and winked at him slyly: "It's a coincidence, the door on me that can open the front and back of the continent can be opened once a month, and every time there will be more and more dark creatures, Even the demons try to break through the door - I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to resist, and for you, isn't this the blood food delivered to the door? Mutual benefit."
He sat up slightly, put his palm on the man's smooth muscular forearm, and said with a smile:
"Plus, based on your previous reactions... I'm guessing your revenge is tougher than I thought."
Ge Xiu raised his eyebrows and pondered for a while, and then added lightly:
"There are more terrifying existences than the demons and the temple... Then there are only gods."
Irene stared at Ge Xiu for a long time, his eyes were as cold as blood, as if he was thinking about something, and finally, he broke the silence and said:
"So, what's your purpose?"
He reciprocated the question Gexiu asked him just now: "Is it just for mutual benefit?"
Ge Xiu shrugged: "Of course not."
The pupils of the young man were extremely deep, as black as the eternal night, and in the depths of those eyes as dark as the abyss, there was some kind of wild and unruly fire shining.
His reason is very simple.
Since entering this world, whether it is the pain that must appear every night in the abyss, the demons' painstaking pursuit, and even finally leaving the abyss, they are caught in the double attack of humans and demons - all of these are all caused by The results of the people in the tribunal have already been set,
A arrogant smile crossed his lips:
"I just really, really hate the feeling of being led by the nose."
