Horland's Rebellion 12th Five
12-5 destroyed claw marks
As Xilu expected, behind the portal is indeed a world completely different from reality. It should be said that everything in front of him is exactly like a prank of a god. Now they are all in a place similar to a treasure exhibition hall, but there is no wall around them, and there is no land under their feet... It's like standing in a space of nothingness. And it's not so much a foothold as "floating" more real.
Although she also knew that everything in front of her was just an illusion created by ancient magic, Xilu still firmly grasped loyd's arm with a little tension, as if she was afraid that she would fall into the boundless darkness with one step of caution:
"Is this a masterpiece of ancient magic... Although I have experienced it once, I still can't help but feel scared..."
Hearing Xilu's uneasy voice, Gustav turned around with a little sarcasm:
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, what you see is just a virtual image created by magic. In fact, we are still standing in the cathedral."
"I understand this... I'm just in awe of this ancient magic that can casually create a world of nothingness and maintain it for thousands of years."
"This is the 'symbiosis' in ancient magic. It requires at least ten high magicians to successfully launch, so it is not surprising whether it is to create such a world or maintain it for a hundred years. It is also for this reason that those great ancient ancestors were destroyed by the ancestors of Sierras who were afraid of their magic... What mortals did was so stupid that even I, as a descendant, felt helpless about the behavior of my ancestors. If we can become friends with them and continue this friendship until now, maybe the mainland will be another pattern, and our country will not be driven to the extremely evil place in the north..."
"In my opinion, this is not the case."
Galloraine shakes his wise head full of history, and his white beard dancing with the wind seems to prove how correct the knowledge he has gained from the wheels of time:
"History is a gear that will not have any 'if' but will only travel along a single trajectory. No matter how we and future generations assume and comment, it will not change its established footsteps. Everything is an image that has been fixed in the law of time, so we can only watch it quietly after the traces of the past.
"That's right. I just feel a little bored. If human beings can predict the impact of their behavior on future generations, they may cautiously restrain their actions.
"Although it's just a pure dream... But Mr. Gustav will also make such a near-naive move, which really surprises us."
"There is a saying that 'the same kind is easy to get together'. Maybe I have unconsciously changed my habits in getting along with the Queen, but I don't have much antipathy to it."
"It's a great honor to do that. So, what exactly did you bring us here for?
"Please take a closer look around you. Although it's all dark, you should be able to find any special existence, right?
People cast their eyes on every corner of their surroundings with doubt... However, beyond the endless darkness reflected in their eyes, there is nothing worth noting, let alone the so-called "special existence". On the contrary, the absolute silence brought about by this makes the atmosphere It's a little weird. Xilu's uneasiness spread in the body like a cold current. When it hit the brain, she couldn't help but** her nose:
"What the hell is this..."
"Does that probably mean this?"
Led stretched out his finger to a corner. Xilu tried to open her eyes wide in the direction he pointed, but still didn't find anything strange:
"What the hell did you see, loyd?"
"I didn't see... I just have this intuition. Although I don't understand what this intuition is about... Maybe it's my instinct trained to survive? I always feel that there is a mysterious force pulling me in that direction. But... I have to try anyway."
loyd took two steps forward and stretched out his finger towards the darkness in front of him... With his movements, he made a slight crisp sound, as if he had touched something. A few seconds later, the whole dark space seemed to be projected into the sunlight and brightened up in an instant.
"What's going on...ah!"
As soon as Xilu wanted to ask what was going on, her eyes were confused by everything in front of her. When she finally woke up, she couldn't help exclaiming:
"This is... Is this the heritage of ancient times!"
After the dark space lit up, it looked like a showroom as imagined, but there was no booth. Hundreds of objects such as swords, shields, staffs, crystal balls, necklace rings and so on floated in the air like feathers, emitting their own colorful luster to the crowd present. People show the charm of ancient magical objects. For a while, even Gustav, who had always been calm, was a little dazzled:
"I just heard that there are many treasures hidden here, but I didn't expect it to be so many... Maybe most of the crystals left by the ancient ancestors gathered here. My ancestors can keep it to this extent... It seems that my evaluation of them is going to change.
"Indeed... Although it is an irreparable mistake to destroy the ancient ancestors, perhaps it was also because of their efforts that the ancient civilization was retained to the greatest extent... Maybe this is the result based on their atonement mentality?"
While agreeing with Gustav's opinion, Xilu stretched out her hand to a ring in front of her and was pushed back by an invisible force at the moment she touched it.
Is it a boundary? Is there still the power to repel outsiders around these objects?
"Maybe you don't want to be taken away by others? Because every object here has a frightening power... Perhaps only the descendants of ancient ancestors like Fland can resonate with them and easily take them away. Nevertheless, just seeing their posture is extremely satisfying.
"That's what I said..."
Silo took loyd's hand and followed Gustav, browsing everything in front of her greedily and trying to search for memories that were usually obtained from the library and stored in her head:
"This necklace engraved with triangular ruby should be 'Tears of Mermaid', which is said to have a treasure that awakens people's memory after they lose their memory, while the diamond-shaped sapphire necklace next to it is exactly the opposite. Once worn, it will make people lose their righteousness... This side The shield carved with three sea snakes may be 'tidal morning light', which is said to make the enemy lose courage or even consciousness at the moment he looks at it... And this four-leaf petal-shaped brooch must be the 'sunset bell'! It is said that a woman can easily charm any target she wants to occupy after wearing it... I really wear it to try it!"
"Isn't that necessary? But... your knowledge is really profound, Your Majesty."
Loed's smile full of praise made De Xilu a little fluttering:
"Of course! I'm in college... but I've read a lot of books in the big library that you can't imagine! Ancient civilization is also the kind that I once longed for, but after all, there are only a few things that can be obtained in books, and there are even many helpless mistakes. It's just... After standing here today, I found how poor the knowledge I have learned in the past. Among the ancient objects arrayed here, I can only recognize a few..."
"That's very good, Your Majesty. After all, they are all relics from thousands of years ago, and they have always rejected aliens other than the ancient ancestors. Our small descendants, who have just witnessed their posture, may have received great favors, and we should pay deep respect for this.
Gustaf lowered his head to the objects in front of him with emotion, expressing his respect as he said:
"Fortunately, they have been sleeping in this empty world. If their posture appears in a corner of the continent, just any of them, they don't know what kind of disturbance it will cause. Those greedy guys will never hesitate to stretch out their dirty hands to them... However, maybe Shi will also become more full of fighting fun because of this, right?
"What a crazy idea... Mr. Gustav. But so, are you going to bring them all back to Sierra's country?
"How can it be... Didn't you just notice that they were protected by ancient forces, Your Majesty? How can we, who are not descendants of the ancient ancestors, move them at all... So their only destination is to sleep here and will sleep forever."
"Is it true that you came to our country thousands of miles away from a war just to see their demeanor? Although it is very touching to see everything here as you said, after all, it is also a meaningless move if you don't get it... Isn't that so?
"You seem to know myself better than me... Your Majesty Gallolin, but everything you said makes it a little difficult for me to understand. You, who had been intoxicated with this miracle just now, suddenly had such an exciting idea... Have you been confused by the scenery in front of you?
"Your Excellency is joking...but it's true."
A gloomy murderous intention suddenly appeared on Garolin's old face, and his gloomy spirit is unimaginable that he is still an old man at this moment:
"Although everything here did belong to the ancient ancestors and Silas..., it is also an indisputable fact that now belongs to my Land! I will never return such a treasure house with precious relics to you!"
"Sure enough... Are you crazy? I have said before that I will not take anything here, but only let these treasures sleep in the dark. It seems that your majesty doesn't believe my promise?
"Who can believe this empty promise? In the face of so much wealth without any ambition, such age xia is more terrible than anyone else! So it's a pity... I can't let such a person leave here alive!"
"Does it include us?"
"Of course, there is no exception!"
Xilu's face is equally gloomy... but it is completely anger in her heart. However, Gallolin, who had always seemed to be old and weak because of his age, was now like a roaring beast. The power of greed made him bloom so brilliant that Gustav couldn't help admiring:
"From now on, I can see how brave you were when you were young. No wonder you used to be called 'Horland's lance'. But that's all the history of the past. Do you think you still have the confidence to stop us now?
"If I don't have such a certainty, won't what I do become a ridiculous child's play? Now the Great Church has been surrounded by my soldiers, and you are already difficult to fly..."
"So that's it... Your Majesty has been acting from the beginning to let us uncover the secrets hidden here? When everything is clear, your majesty is ready to catch us all?
"Of course!"
Gallorin's body trembled. His face was a little twisted because of anger or fear, and his original peace and loneliness were swept away:
"Forced my son to die and destroy my kingdom so much... Will I really only watch you do whatever you want? However, if you want to confront you head-on, it is completely a dream. All I can do is this despicable behavior... As long as I can introduce you into the royal city, you are caged birds, and there is absolutely no possibility of escape! It's just that I didn't expect that you would give me such an unimaginable treasure... As long as I have them, the whole continent... and even the whole world will tremble in my hands!"
"It's really stupid... It seems that Your Majesty is really lost and crazy by these treasures. However, does Your Majesty think that this threat alone can make us afraid or even give in?
Xilu held the "Wentini" and "Sword of Wisdom" in her left and right hands respectively, and the demeanor of the Valkyrie burst out in an instant:
"If Your Majesty is really confident, you might as well give it a try. Although it is unwise to use force against your king in your country, there is no complaint about being self-employed.
"If I don't have self-confidence, how dare I say such a thing to you!"
Galloraine began to laugh loudly, and this calmness couldn't help but be a little stunned, but the old king, who seemed to be crazy, stretched out his arms to the treasures behind him, completely ignoring the threat from behind:
"Everything here is mine... belongs to Heland! Even the world will tremble in the hands of Heland... What a miraculous reality! Even if the kingdom has been defeated, as long as there are these ancient heritages, it will never perish, but will only be more prosperous than ever... Great ancestors! Thank you for your endless blessings to your children and grandchildren... I will sacrifice the two kings today..."
"Incurable!"
Unable to resist the anger in her heart, Xilu stabbed a sword in demonstration, but the tip of the sword was adsorbed in front of Garolin and deviated from the direction by some force.
"This is...!"
"Don't think that only Haier Milan can create a high degree of magical civilization, Your Majesty! Heland and Silas are different, and Heland can also create magical crystals no less than you! Don't forget that your goddess of creation and our goddess of destruction are sisters!"
Galloraine's laughter is full of ostentat and threats:
"In the appearance of creation and destruction, the two goddesses coexist as one, so our magical civilization is just compatible with each other. Some even say that as long as you reverse your spells and recite them, they will become magic that belongs to our system... I am also convinced of this! So... the blade in your hand can never hurt me at all!"
"Is that so!"
Silo didn't care about his wild words and was ready to attack again, but was stopped by Loedra:
"He's right. Your current attacks are all in vain."
"What are you talking about? Can you see what magic he used?
"It's just intuition... I don't understand the mystery of magic."
"Intuition..."
Although she felt that this was an unreliable reason, loyd's "intuition" had always been unexpectedly accurate, which made her stop involuntarily:
"What did your intuition tell you this time?"
"The breath of the night crawls with the ambition of conspiracy..."
"What kind of poetry are you in the mood to write at this time!"
Xilu stared at him dissatisfiedly and then realized:
"The breath of the night and the ambition of conspiracy... Are you talking about the current situation? So what's the ending you can expect?"
"I can only predict a beginning. As for the ending, don't we have to rely on ourselves?"
"That's right!"
Gustaf raised his head and didn't care about the predicament in front of him and his face was relaxed:
"It seems that this knight's intuition is the answer we need, and the ending is in our hands. It's just that the jumpers will never become the masters of history, or even the spectators of history, and now only we can become witnesses of history on the continent, without you, Your Majesty Garolin!"
To Gustav's warning, Gallolin "hummed" with disdainful face:
"I'm still talking nonsense until now. Do you know what kind of situation you are in now? I can take down your head with just one order, but it seems that you don't care about it... Well, just think of it as you are bravely going to hell. Such courage is enough for me to admire. In this case, there is no need to talk too much between each other..."
"This is exactly what I want to say to you, Your Majesty Garolin! If you think you can trap us here with this little trick, it's too naive! In fact, I had expected that you would take such an action when we met under the city!"
"It's amazing! Then I'd like to hear how you explain it!"
"That's because you are too honest! I asked both sides not to bring troops, but to meet alone. For this reason, I also specially left the guards outside the city, and your majesty only brought the attendants... I guessed your majesty's intention from this store. In the face of my enemy who took the prince's life and almost destroyed your country, your action is really surprising! Just like the former Prince Hilde... I have never believed in this kind of overhonest behavior!"
"It's ridiculous..."
"Who is ridiculous... Just look at it with your own eyes, His Majesty King of Karolin! Just now you said that Hland and Silas are different because Hrand and Haier Milan have the same magical civilization. In other words, you think Silas is a barbaric land without magic civilization, right? Then I might as well show you... the light of Silas's magical civilization!"
"What are you talking about? The light of Silas's magical civilization?
"I just unlocked the seal of the wall with the original slate. Haven't you noticed this fact?"
Gustav pulled out the sword beside him and stabbed it straight towards Garoline. He thought it would be as ineffective as Xilu before, but Gallolin snorted in pain, and the sword passed through his shoulder without hindrance.
"This...this is..."
"In addition to the barriers set by ancient magic, the magic 'Nocturne' that can eliminate the obstacles in front of you. What do you think, Your Majesty Garolin? No matter how hard the shield is, it will be pierced by a sharp blade, not to mention a magic barrier?
"What on earth is your magic..."
"I'm an alternative in Sierras, and it's not strange to know a little basic magic!"
"But 'nocturne' is not the basic magic! In Haier Milan, China, only a few people, including College Zhang, can master this magic. How do you master it?
Please allow me to keep this a secret. Her Majesty. In a word, it seems that the situation has reversed. Your Majesty Gallolin, the capital you are proud of is already vulnerable in front of us. Do you still want to continue to struggle?
"It's already in this situation... I'm afraid it's useless no matter what you say!"
"That's right! I'm not going to continue to let you go... Otherwise, if these treasures fall into your hands, I'm afraid the whole continent will fall into madness!"
"Hahaha... A barbarian who regards the fate of the mainland as a child's play would say such a thing! I really don't know what kind of person I'm facing at this moment!"
"Although I don't have much interest in the fate of the mainland, I also have no desire for the hegemony of the mainland. What a pity. It seems that there are not many people who can understand me... Even you are not exempt from the ranks of laymen!"
"Hahahaha...!"
Galloraine stood up and answered with a burst of laughter. A look of regret suddenly appeared on Gustav's face:
"It seems that Your Majesty has made up his mind?"
"And I already have a mortal consciousness! Now I... have no nostalgia for my humble life, but you don't want to leave here alive... My soldiers have..."
"Your soldiers should have surrendered at this moment. Can they survive under the deterrence of my warship and the dragon?"
"What did you say!"
"What a pity... Didn't I just say that! I don't believe in Your Majesty's sincerity at all! It's a pity that if Your Majesty was not so eager for the small interests in front of him, maybe such a serious situation would not have happened... Now I have returned what your Majesty just said to you. 'Everything has been fixed in the law of time, so we can only calm down after the traces of the past. Just watch it quietly. It's ridiculous. Your Majesty is the one who personally confirmed this statement. I'm afraid future historians will laugh about it!"
Gustaf raised his hand, and Xilu was worried that he would cut off Garolin's head and cause unimaginable trouble. Just as he wanted to dissuade him, Gustav took the sword back:
"Don't worry, now is not the time to take your life, His Majesty the Gallolin. Your so-called loyal soldiers are now waiting for you to save their lives, and you only need an order to do it. But I took everything here today. At least staying with me is much safer than staying in this royal city, and as a punishment for your crazy behavior today, this royal city no longer belongs to you for the time being. Please don't doubt my motives. I didn't do it for the so-called power, but for the war to continue. It's a pity that the reality is completely moving in the opposite direction to my intention!"
