Under Akshina's curious gaze, Wang Ran inserted the faucet into the statue's forehead.
The statue's temperament became incongruous, resembling a tap pool on a park lawn.
Wang Ran explained, “I can use this tap to draw the sacred spring water from the statue.”
He believed that nothing appeared out of thin air, and the statue must contain a lot of sacred spring water.
Others can only wait bitterly for the spring water to flow out, but he has a strange faucet that can release water directly to the statue!
The only question is how much will he make
A bottle cap of sacred spring water is equal to one hundred drops, and each drop can create a transcendent being.
If he could extract a mineral water bottle of sacred spring water from the statue, he could create ten thousand extraordinary people!
If the entire statue was filled with holy water...
hiss-
Leading the earth into an extraordinary era
The more Wang Ran thought about it, the more excited he became.
He finally couldn't contain his excitement and turned on the faucet with great anticipation.
Crunch!
There was a strange noise coming from the faucet.
Then, a drop of bright red liquid dripped out.
Seeing the color of this drop of **, Wang Ran inexplicably felt that this was the original juice of the sacred spring water, which would become the sacred spring water after dilution.
Without thinking twice, he put this drop of "purine" into his portable warehouse.
Tick-tick-tick-tick
**The flow rate was getting faster and faster, and after a few seconds it began to drip, emitting a special smell in the air.
Wang Ran sniffed it and felt it was familiar.
But he didn't think much about it. He was still thinking about how many drops of holy spring water one drop of "original juice" could be diluted into. Would this be a huge profit
Akshina next to her frowned.
She stared at the bright red liquid dripping from the faucet and wanted to speak several times, but when she looked up and saw Wang Ran's calm expression, she pursed her lips again.
But his eyes became more and more confused.
After half a minute, the red liquid flowing out of the faucet had become a trickle.
Akshina couldn't help it, she said carefully: "Respected strong man, this doesn't seem to be the sacred spring water..."
Wang Ran subconsciously asked: "What is that?"
Akshina hesitated and said, "It seems to be blood..."
Blood?!
Wang Ran was stunned, because after being reminded by Akshina, he suddenly smelled something in the air.
This smells like blood!
He had prevented the awakening ceremony a few days ago, and Bai Fan had turned the scene into a living hell, and the smell almost made him vomit.
But how could a statue bleed
Wang Ran was startled and quickly unplugged the faucet.
The insertion of the strange faucet is a conceptual insertion, not a physical hole drilling, so there is no mind-blowing horror scene after it is pulled out, and the forehead of the angel statue is still as smooth as before.
Wang Ran looked at the statue's tearful eyes and suddenly realized that he had done something wrong.
The legend seems to be true...
The next second,
Tears gushed from the statue's eyes.
It's not dripping, it's spraying!
Golden tears flowed from the statue's eye sockets like waterfalls.
Wang Ran took a half step back in embarrassment.
[Start real-time simulation]
[The angel of redemption sleeping in the myth has revived]
[Her tears filled her palms]
[God lifted the seal on her as promised]
She pledges allegiance to you
Wang Ran was stunned.
He thought that the first thing the angel would do after reviving would be to chop him to death. After all, he had inserted a thick and hard object into the angel's body and made the angel bleed so much.
The angel swore allegiance to him...
What is the plot unfolding
At this time, the text continues to scroll.
[You learned that this was her agreement with God]
[On the day the seal is lifted, she will pledge allegiance to the first person she sees, become that person's guardian angel, and continue to atone for her past mistakes]
It turns out this is also part of the atonement.
Wang Ran couldn't help but feel very curious. He wanted to know what this angel had done wrong.
Kneeling for countless years is not enough,
After finally being able to move, I have to be loyal to someone else...
Is it because the gods are too cruel
Or was she just too wrong
You ask her what she did wrong.
[She cried silently]
[You quietly collect her tears]
[She couldn't cry anymore]
You take her back to the world hub
[You are heading to World 03-9077]
You report to the Watcher Society
[Simulation ends]
Although Wang Ran still had doubts, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only is it not a bad thing, he can also pick up a guardian angel for free. Although he has no idea how strong this angel is, it is given to him for free anyway, so it might be good to keep it with him to collect some tears!
This trip was really the right one!
but…
Wang Ran had an idea and started the simulation again.
[The angel of redemption sleeping in the myth has revived]
You keep stealing her tears
[Her tears could never fill her palms]
[She fell into a long sleep again]
[You pour your tears back into her palm]
She didn't respond.
[You put away your tears]
[You put the tap into her forehead]
[You turned on the tap]
You made her bleed a lot.
You unplug the tap.
[The angel of redemption sleeping in the myth has revived]
You keep stealing her tears
[Her tears could never fill her palms]
[She fell into a long sleep again]
[You put the tap into her forehead]
[…]
[…]
[…]
[Nothing comes out of the tap]
[The Angel of Redemption is Freed]
[Simulation ends]
Wang Ran smacked his lips. He found a bug which was not really a bug. It could create more springs, but it was a bit unethical.
He quickly simulated it in his mind a few more times.
He found that he could only steal two handfuls of tears. After the third handful, the angel could no longer cry and needed to plug the faucet to restart.
But restarting will cause the angel to lose a lot of blood, and just one restart will make the revived angel weak.
Restarted twice and died immediately after reviving.
"Forget it, there's no need."
There is no need to drain the angel's blood and damage the angel's body for a few tears, because the angel will swear allegiance to him.
But you can keep some of your tears. After all, you have already cried, and it would be a waste if you don’t keep them.
Thinking of this, he transferred the tears in the palm of the statue into his portable warehouse.
After a few seconds, the statue's tears were about to overflow from its palms again.
Wang Ran used the same old trick again.
The flow of the statue decreased visibly. Her tears could no longer gushed out like a flood. They could only flow down her face and then drip from her chin.
Wang Ran felt that he had done all the bad things and stopped in embarrassment.
In the warm sunshine, the statue devoutly holds its tears, as if holding a golden lake.
Every drop of her tears created golden ripples on the lake, and along with the ripples, there was also some kind of indescribable vitality and hope.
Tick-tick-tick-tick
The water level of the lake rose little by little, and Akshina clenched her fists nervously.
In Akshina's world, everyone is familiar with the story of the Angel of Redemption, but no one has ever thought about verifying the truth of this story.
Because it will take at least 1,334 years for the tears of the angel of redemption to fill the palms of his hands.
But the tears of the angel of redemption are the best healing medicine in the world. They can revive the dead and turn bones into flesh and blood. They are in short supply every year and it is impossible for them to be accumulated for 1,334 years in a row.
Sometimes when wars break out between countries, the sacred spring water that has accumulated over hundreds of years may be consumed in just one or two years.
Therefore, the palms of the angel of atonement have never been full. In fact, as soon as tears appear, they are taken away. Therefore, the palms of the angel of atonement are dry most of the time.
The legend that "as long as your palms are filled with tears, the angel of redemption will return to the world" seems to be just an unattainable legend forever...
Until today, a miracle happened!
Under Wang Ran's manipulation, the Angel of Redemption burst into tears, making Akshina feel like she was witnessing history.
A few minutes later, the lake in the palm of the statue once again rose to the edge of the palm.
The golden lake water was crystal clear, as if every ray of sunlight was evenly dissolved into it. The surface of the lake was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the towering trees and Wang Ran's figure.
Both Akshina and Wang Ran noticed that the surface of the lake had bulged slightly and could overflow at any time.
Only one tear is left.
As they gazed, a crystal clear golden teardrop gradually condensed in the statue's left eye.
The teardrop slowly slid down the tear marks on the statue's face, and finally fell straight into the lake in her palm.
Tick!
Wang Ran couldn't help but open his eyes wide.
He saw the teardrop fall into the lake, but instead of merging into the lake, it turned into a golden little fish, swimming happily in the lake.
The next second, the lake lit up with dazzling light.
He endured the pain, opened his eyes and looked towards the light, vaguely saw a slender figure stretching her arms and standing up from the ground.
After a few seconds, the light faded.
Where the dark statue of the Angel of Atonement was, there stood a living female angel with blonde hair and white feathers.
She was wearing a white robe with gold thread edges and looked straight at Wang Ran, her eyes filled with sadness and resentment.
Wang Ran did not dare to act rashly.
Because he felt an unprecedented threat from this female angel.
His hair stood on end.
In his perception, this seemingly weak female angel was like a dozing ferocious beast who could take his life with just a little force in her eyes.
What level of power is this person? !
Wang Ran was shocked.
Even a ninth-rank expert wouldn't be able to feel such a strong sense of oppression towards him.
This... could it be a god? !
The simulation didn’t mention that this angel was so powerful!
At this time, the female angel walked towards him.
His heart started beating wildly because he knew what was going to happen next.
"My name is Anna Murat."
"I am a sinful angel."
"Thank you for your salvation!"
The female angel's voice is exceptionally beautiful.
She walked up to Wang Ran, suddenly knelt on one knee, lifted up Wang Ran's right hand and kissed it.
Akshina on the side was so shocked that she was speechless.
In this world, angels are perfect creatures that only exist in mythology.
They possess all the advantages that humans can think of: beautiful, intelligent, strong, brave, confident, kind...
Human beings have created countless stories to praise their beauty.
Akshina never dreamed that she would have the opportunity to meet a living angel!
She could not have imagined that this angel would actually kneel down and kiss the back of someone's hand!
Oh my god! This is incredible!
Wang Ran stood still, his body tense, and he looked at Anna.
"I would like to be your guardian angel."
Anna said seriously.
"I pledge my allegiance to you!"
Wang Ran looked at Anna silently.
Anna's face was a little pale due to blood loss, but this did not affect her sincerity at all.
"From today on!"
"I will think what you think, and think what you want!"
"I will be your sword that cuts through thorns and your shield that breaks down walls!"
Wang Ran stared at Anna in a daze.
As Anna vowed, the surrounding woods disappeared, Akshina disappeared, the sound of the wind disappeared, and the sound of birdsong disappeared.
It was as if the entire universe had distanced itself from them.
Wang Ran stared at Anna.
At this moment, they only have eyes for each other.
"No matter what darkness and storms I face in the future, you will be the sail and compass that guides me out of death!"
Everything was silent, save for Anna's devout murmur.
"I will never be able to leave you alone!"
"I will follow you into whatever the future may be!"
"Until the sword breaks and the man dies! The shield breaks and the soul is lost!"
"I swear to do the above!"
Wang Ran regained consciousness from his strange state.
The woods are back, Akshina is back, the sound of the wind and birdsong is back, and the world is alive and lovely again.
Wang Ran felt an invisible bond.
This bond connects him and the angel in front of him. It has nothing to do with wealth, status, strength or weakness. It only has to do with an eternal and unchanging promise.
Anna stood up.
She said calmly, "I don't even know your name yet."
A sense of alienation arises spontaneously.
Wang Ran raised his eyebrows and asked, "You swore allegiance to me without knowing my name. Are you always such a careless angel?"
This is not a simple pledge of allegiance.
Through his bond with Anna, he could sense that there was something somewhere guaranteeing the reliability of this pledge of allegiance.
Anna did not answer immediately.
She thought for two seconds.
Then he nodded affirmatively.
"Yes."
She answered dully.
Wang Ran was silent.
After two seconds, he said, "My name is Wang Ran."
"The king of kings, the dye of rendering."
He paused and then continued, "I don't know what a guardian angel is, but from today on you can stay with me."
Anna nodded slightly.
Wang Ran asked, "You just lost a lot of blood. Does this have a big impact on you?"
Anna shook her head and said, "It's not a big deal. It will be fine after two days of recuperation."
Wang Ran breathed a sigh of relief.
He said, “I’ll find you a place.”
Anna nodded.
Wang Ran turned to Akshina and said, "The payment you owe me has been paid off, and it's time for me to go back. If you have any problems in the future, you can contact me through the Watcher Association."
Akshina replied: "Okay, respected strong man."
Akshina watched the entire conversation between Wang Ran and Anna, including Anna's oath of protection.
She had completely given up on Wang Ran.
How could this strong man possibly be interested in her when there was a beautiful and powerful angel accompanying him? Moreover, this strong man had never shown any interest in her from beginning to end, so she should not embarrass herself.
She felt a little regretful.
She felt that she should have been more proactive before. After all, this was a man that even angels were willing to protect. If she was with him, she would definitely have a good time. But now she has no chance at all.
Wang Ran walked to a small house not far away and used the door to open the portal back to the world hub.
Wang Ran and Anna walked in one after another.
"king!"
"I am late! Please punish me!"
The nearby patrol arrived late.
They noticed at a glance that the statue of the angel of atonement was missing. They were confused and beads of sweat broke out on their foreheads, fearing that Akshina would chop off their heads in anger.
They thought: Damn it!
Isn't that a statue that even a dragon can't shake
Why is it gone
Akshina glanced at them.
She knew why the statue was gone, so she didn't blame the patrol. She just said with a sad face, "You don't have to guard here anymore, no more..."
