Gate of the Cross

Chapter 296 Goddess of Time

Spring goes and autumn comes, another year.

Even on Freya Island, which is like spring all year round, the temperature drops sharply in this deep winter. There are significantly fewer pedestrians on the street than in other seasons, and most of these few people pull their coats wrapped around them and walk in a hurry.

Xinjie withdrew his gaze from the window and sighed leisurely. The temperature in the room made him feel very warm, and even made him have a plan to rest.

"Ajie!"

Xinjie turned his head and saw Nanali with long red hair coming in.

A smile suddenly appeared on Xinjinari's face, "You got up so early! Did you play so crazy last night? Don't you want to sleep for a while?"

Xinjie shook his head, "It's not necessary."

They held a small party here last night, and everyone had a good time, so it took them a long time to sleep. Because Nanali went to bed early, she got up early, but she didn't expect that Xinjie had also got up by this time.

"What are you thinking about?"

She sat next to Xinjie, leaned gently against him, and her whole body slipped into Xinjie's arms.

Xinjie put his hand around Nanali's slender waist, smelled the faint fragrance from her body, and said:

"I'm thinking..."

Before he could speak, Nanali had a mischievous smile and said, "You're thinking about Florida, right?"

Xinjie didn't hide it from her and nodded.

"You," Nanali said in a somewhat helpless tone, "Have you been back for so long, can't you let go of that?"

Three months ago, a group of people who were originally traveling to Tina Village encountered an accident there and were involved in a thing. After many obstacles, they finally defeated the ancient tree spirits guarding the closed altar to the north of Salena Island and came to the legendary Florida Island.

According to the instructions of the Astia priests, they killed the friplo ice city on the island of fripolo and defeated fripolo, the leader guarding the door of the cross. He was once one of the right-hand assistants of Libelius and one of the pioneers of the counterattack on heaven in the mallet war thousands of years ago. When the cross gate was sealed, he became the guardian of the cross gate seal.

Only by defeating Flibro can the seal be opened, and after the hard bloody battle, the people led by Xinjie, the opener, finally succeeded in defeating Flipol, thus successfully unlocking the seal of a cross gate.

However, the sudden appearance of Brumel, the high priest of Astia, made everyone feel that things were not as simple as they thought. Nanali still remembers what he said to the crowd at that time:

"It's a pity that it's too late. If it's permanently sealed like this, even the opener will be free."

"What do you mean?" Although I don't understand why Brumel suddenly appeared after the battle, this is obviously not what he should be concerned about now. Xinjie immediately expressed doubts after hearing his words.

"Although you have knocked down the guardian of the door of the cross, this door of time and space has been permanently sealed, and even you, the one who opens it can't do." He paused and continued without waiting for everyone's reply, "But it's too early to give up!" There are a total of 3 gates of time and space in this world, and I hope you can find them before they are permanently sealed! Come to Astia when I have news! You are the only one who can save the world... and we don't have time."

This is Nanali's memory after the battle at that time, and it has been more than three months since they returned to France, and the time has also entered the cold winter from midsummer. However, there has been no news from Astia so far, so they can only wait here all the time.

Astia's identity as the new hero's initiator has not been announced yet, so his current identity is still a swordsman of the Kingdom of France. But even so, this is very remarkable, coupled with Astia's propaganda, his current status in the Swordsman League is second only to Disol, the mentor of all swordsmen.

"Don't worry. We will definitely be notified if there is news from Astia. It's useless for you to worry before."

Xinjie's troubles are not as simple as Nanali said, because in addition to what Nanali knew, there are some things he didn't tell her, that is, the man-woman's conversation he heard in a trance while fighting with Florida, and... another thing that happened after the battle.

At the end of the battle, Saber successfully defeated Florida with her sword of victory. At that moment, Xinjie entered a mysterious space alone, and in this space, he met an unexpected person:

"I'm the goddess Finia."

Seeing the woman who exuded sacred breath all over the opposite, Xinjie felt a little surprised when he heard her first sentence.

Fenia, like Libelius, is also the main god of the world and one of the twelve gods of Algis. She is in charge of the past, her sister Alene, who is in charge of the present, and another sister Karen, who is in charge of the future, who is the three goddesses in charge of time.

It is said that at the end of the God's hammer war, they sacrificed themselves to seal the passage between the divine world and the human world. Since then, Xinjie has guessed that there should be more than one cross gate, and the next thing really proves his guess.

It is reasonable that the goddess Finia should not know Xinjie, but what Xinjie didn't expect was that Finia quickly said after introducing herself, "You are... the opener, yes, the opener of the door of time and space!"

Although it is a little slow, the tone is unquestionably firm.

"Are you going to open this cursed door?"

"Cursed door? Do you mean the door of the cross? Because Libelius is about to be resurrected, the door was opened to ask the gods for help and defeat him with the help of the gods. Xinjie explained a few words, and his heart moved. He immediately asked, "Why do you say this is the cursed door?" Is there any problem?"

Fiya did not answer Xinjie's question, but said, "Stupid person... What appears in front of you will not be light!"

"What do you mean?"

Finia's tone made Xinjie have a warning in his heart. Just as he was about to ask clearly, he felt an irresistible force pulling him out of the space. At the same time, he saw Brumel's sudden appearance and heard his explanation about the three cross gates.
