The Divine Hunter Chapter 21: Feilong Mountains
The northernmost barrier of the mainland, the Feilong Mountains are shrouded in fog all year round.
The legendary mages Arzu and Cosimo entered the depths of the mountains together, into a hidden valley covered with white snow and secluded and uninhabited.
A two-story black obelisk stands in the center of the valley. Strange magic lingers, and all birds and beasts disappear.
Arzu, who had gray hair on his temples, wiped off the ice and snow on the rough surface of the stele and stared at the complex and unfamiliar characters on the stele, like a bunch of swimming tadpoles.
"It is neither an ancient script, nor a common script of the North, nor a Nilfgaardian script."
"These are the characters Doc and Wozig from thousands of years ago..." Cosimo looked at the map in his hand, "Two treasures of extinct civilizations in the notes of teacher Geoffrey Monk."
"Cosimo, does the secret here really allow me to see Liliana again?" Arzu's pupils were empty and his expression was a little dazed.
After the destruction of Maribo, his life goals collapsed, he fell into deep confusion, and lost the motivation to continue fighting.
The only purpose of living is to see the dead lover again.
It's a pity that she has been gone for decades, and the evil necromancy can do nothing.
The Dijing sealed in a magic bottle left behind by Archmage Geoffrey Monk can only cast spells on nearby targets, and it is extremely restrictive, far from being omnipotent.
It is also impossible to resurrect Liliana.
But there is another record of the legacy that the mage left to his disciple Cosimo, which gave him renewed hope.
"The Docks and Wozigs, the first human civilizations to come to this world after the convergence of the celestial spheres, live side by side in the Feilong Mountains. They all believe in the legendary Niya, also known as the Eastern Goddess and the Night. Witch Lilit, the words they left behind were used by archaeologists with ulterior motives, which gave birth to the infamous Black Sun Curse in later generations, which harmed countless girls."
"However, these two powerful ancient civilizations disappeared one night more than a thousand years ago, including the **** Lilit they believed in. They also completely disappeared. There must be some unknown and shocking secrets hidden in them."
With his slightly bulging belly, Cosimo walked around the huge obelisk, his eyes flashing with thought, and he read the inscription carefully, "A Dock blacksmith picked up a red meteor that fell from the sky. , the words of the ancient gods often echo in the meteors. All your wishes can be fulfilled, but sacrifices must be made...evil souls..."
The word "desire" inexplicably made the master and apprentice feel hopeful, but they were also afraid of disappointment, so they tried their best to suppress that emotion.
"So the Daoke selected the targets among the tribe, assassinated them, and made them into sacrifices."
"The action was soon exposed, and he and the meteorite that fell from the sky were destroyed and sealed by the Docks and Wozigs?"
"The inscription ends here..." Cosimo stamped his feet, the power to drive away all creatures in the valley was very close at hand, "But according to the research of teacher Geoffrey Monk, the destruction of the two civilizations was precisely It's because of this meteorite...and the place where the meteorite may appear is exactly under this obelisk."
Cosimo said sadly, "It's a pity that the teacher had no time to explore its secrets, so he died unexpectedly due to magic."
"He left all his inheritance to me, his disciple."
The old man patted the shoulder of the haggard and dull-eyed disciple, "Before we came here, we collected twelve magic seal bottles."
"Sufficient to cope with most emergencies."
"Find that meteorite and gain its powerful power...maybe you can realize your wish and see Liliana again!"
……
"The power to destroy two civilizations," Arzu hesitated for a moment, "What if it is a powerful evil **** or demon?"
"This has been my worry for so many years. The next actions are unpredictable. Whether they will open an infinite box of wishes or a terrifying box of disasters is difficult to predict," Cosimo pondered, "Divination The spells are fruitless."
"Whether to continue...the choice is yours!"
Arzu stared at this wrinkled face, with tired eyes but full of encouragement, and his lips moved.
For decades, Cosimo has been by his side, helping him and guiding him. He is also his teacher and father. He is his most tacit experimental partner and close comrade-in-arms.
"Just keep some words in your heart. You are my only disciple..." Cosimo patted his shoulder heavily, his tone paused, and a trace of sadness appeared on his peaceful face that had not changed for a hundred years, "I Without your courage, it would never have been possible to summon the saliva demon in the city."
Arzu nodded.
The despair comes back.
I snapped my fingers without hesitation.
The thick snow under the obelisk was blasted open by the magic airflow, revealing an obsidian staircase sloping downward.
The two of them went down the stairs, and the boiling magic power pushed open the dark stone door at the end.
Roy, who was hiding in the fog, suppressed his nervousness and followed the two into the door.
……
"ilre!"
Arzu said exactly what he said.
A ball of orange light floated above their heads, illuminating the dark chamber.
Every corner is exquisitely detailed.
A small square hall, with thick dust and cobwebs accumulated on the four corner braziers.
It looks like no one has been here for hundreds or thousands of years.
The bright light illuminates several colorful, rough and primitive murals on the wall, like some kind of sacrificial activity
In the first picture on the left, a group of savages wearing animal skin coats and garlands of flowers work together to hold up grizzly bears, wild boars, pterodactyls and other sacrifices that have been disemboweled on huge dinner plates, and offer them to a person in the center whose body is covered with blood. A dark, naked woman, with a dark solar eclipse painted on her back!
Sixty girls wearing golden crowns prostrated around her, kneeling in the river of blood.
In the second picture, a person holds up a prismatic stone.
The sky then broke through the dense holes and released countless scarlet rays of light. The group of savages under the respectful statues were illuminated by the red light. They were all on fire. They were burned up and completely disappeared in the red light. They were not even able to stay. Next bit of ash.
In the center of the two murals, a statue suppresses everything.
She has a graceful figure, enchanting appearance, and beautiful appearance. She wears a golden crown with a pair of goat horns engraved with runes emerging from the golden crown. Two fangs are exposed from the corners of her bright red lips, and there is a pair of small bat wings behind her back.
Like a combination of a high-level vampire and a female night demon.
Obviously it is just a statue, but there is a soul-stirring charm in those dark eyes. Ordinary people can't take their eyes away after just one glance.
But there was no trace of warmth on her face, and the corners of her mouth were grinning coldly and lonely, as if she was sending a warning to the two mages who suddenly broke in!
But having reached the end, they naturally would not leave easily. Their eyes turned to a fist-sized ebony box in front of the altar under the straight and slender legs of the statue, with mottled chains wrapped around the surface.
After hundreds of years of time, the silver chain is covered with dust and black traces of oxidation.
Despite the heavy seal, it still exudes a strange and powerful magic power, and the surrounding space keeps collapsing and rebuilding under the influence of magic power.
The magic aura and space cracks intertwined into a subtle area of high-speed oscillation, like ripples on the surface of a lake with a gentle breeze.
It seemed to be alive. Under the gaze of the two mages, it started to tremble with excitement.
Radiant circles of light red light radiated out.
An illusion formed in the light
A young falcon bird was trapped in the eggshell. It struggled desperately and swayed its delicate and fragile body, but it could not escape.
Chirping with dying breath, he sent a signal for help to the two mages.
But when they saw this, they hesitated further.
Roy, shrouded in mist, stared at the red light and felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.
It was like seeing twin brothers connected by blood, and seeing another strange self in the mirror, and my heart, soul, and blood were throbbing.
The Most High?
Fragments?
The red light called to him.
But he tried his best to suppress the urge.
With a thought in mind, the two mages suddenly felt a burst of strong magical aura under their robes. The mind belonging to the air element can be constructed into two invisible hands of mind and fly towards the wooden box!
Less than half a meter closer to the statue.
"BOBO—"
With a flash of black light, an oval-shaped energy shield emerged from mid-air, covering the statue and the ebony box, with bright yellow arcs flowing.
The psychic thoughts thrown by the mages can be instantly annihilated.
Hmm
Arzu and Cosimo looked at each other, their hearts alert, and simply stopped taking action.
The witcher saw the familiar scene again.
Cosimo took off a yellow amphora and pulled off its cap with a cross and a nine-pointed star with a pop.
Electric arcs swam and thunder rumbled.
A ball of silver thundercloud-like Di Jing appeared!
It stretched out its left crow claw towards Lilit's altar.
"Boom!"
The air is sizzling!
A dazzling purple electric current hit the statue.
It's like a meteorite flying into the atmosphere from the sky, but it is burned by the reappearance energy shield and glows red, making it difficult to move forward!
The air hissed, smoke rose, and the electric current was like a snake twisting in mid-air that continued to collide with the black energy shield.
The two fell into a stalemate, and dazzling white-purple light and red light filled the entire secret room.
Hululu...
The long and narrow beak of Dijing opened and closed, making an angry cooing sound.
Stretching out his right paw again, the second jumping current hit the statue.
The black light shield discharged a huge shock wave to the surrounding space, and a brief earthquake suddenly broke out in the secret room, shaking and shaking.
Even the ebony box in front of the altar at the foot of the statue was shaking violently!
The two mages' beards and hair were flying, their five fingers were outlined, their rings and necklaces shone with magic aura, and a pile of shields were superimposed on their robes.
The only person present who was not affected was the eternal spectator Roy.
Lilit's statue gave him a feeling similar to that of Freya and Meriteri.
This is a true god. According to legend, the beliefs of the Docks and Wozigs are extremely weak, far weaker than the former two, like a wisp of afterimage!
The energy shield lasted for thirty seconds!
With a roar, it was finally shattered by the electric current.
The exquisite Lilit statue was like broken porcelain. The smooth surface suddenly cracked, and dense cracks covered the whole body.
Click!
Wow!
The statue collapsed and shattered into pieces of obtuse-angled gravel, falling to the ground.
The ebony box suddenly fell into stillness.
But the two mages didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief.
唰
Abnormal energy suddenly reverses like a rising tide.
The skyrocketing black light surged out of the void, creating a lifelike illusion in mid-air.
She stood quietly in mid-air.
There are two horns on the top of his head, his figure is hot, his lips are as red as blood, but he grins and reveals his pale fangs.
The silver eyes were like two bright moons in the sky, staring at the two mages.
Angry!
Despair!
Vicious!
The cold that freezes the soul!
An invisible force froze their bodies.
The wind is strong.
Between the opening and closing of Lilit's **** and alluring red lips, an obscure, feminine, and hateful voice echoed endlessly!
The magic sound fills the brain, giving people a splitting headache!
"Pot?piewórzpude?ko., dobrzeumrze?!"
A black light that was hard to catch penetrated Di Jing instantly, and the Qi Elf exploded!
The remaining ray of black light shot towards Arzu.
But Cosimo, with his fluttering white beard, somehow managed to break free, put up an energy shield, and stood in front of his disciple!
The old mage trembled as black light entered his body, and a sickly blush appeared on his cheeks.
Pop!
The silver chain wrapped around the ebony box broke, and a scarlet mass broke free, like a pocket octopus with its tentacles stirring.
It pounced on Lilit's illusion, its tentacles danced wildly, and its suckers clicked open and closed.
Tearing wildly.
Ah!
The illusion let out a desperate scream, shattered into fragments all over the sky, and turned into nothingness.
The octopus slowly swung its tentacles and floated in mid-air for a short while. Its petite body showed a hint of joy, but it was more tired, weak, and sluggish.
"What is this?"
"Meteorite?"
Arzu held Cosimo's body with a trembling voice, but did not move rashly.
The soft red body the size of a palm is like a jelly, with translucent blood vessels squirming, and it actually looks a bit cute.
Its black round eyes glanced meaningfully at the witcher in the mist!
Roy was shaken physically and mentally.
A large piece of garbled code crazily emerged from the template.
Almost out of control!
Crack!
The tentacles hung on both sides of the body, and suddenly fell to the ground lightly. The whole body changed, and the red light flickered, as if it was about to disappear.
Arzu's heart tightened when he saw this, and he couldn't help but stepped forward and picked up this weird red creature in his hands.
The moment the skin came into contact with it, the octopus melted into a puddle of mud and completely integrated into the mage's body, leaving no trace.
Arzu suddenly closed his eyes and froze in place like a stick, seeming to be deep in thought and receiving some kind of information.
"Arzu?"
Cosimo clutched his chest and panted, his body swaying against the wall, and he looked at his disciple nervously.
After a while...
Arzu opened his eyes, and the confusion and confusion disappeared in a flash ~IndoMTL.com~ and then became clear again.
"Don't worry, teacher...I feel better than ever, like a rebirth."
Arzu clenched his fists, and an exciting smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"What is the ball of light in the box?" Cosimo stared into his disciple's eyes, repeatedly confirming that he was himself.
"An extraterrestrial meteorite recorded on the Dok stone tablet, but it calls itself the Supreme One..."
"The Most High? What do you mean?"
"It's hard to explain. Now it is parasitic in my body and soul, becoming my vassal and relying on me to survive. I can use its power at will, and when it matures and awakens to its full power, It can fulfill all our expectations in a special way!" Arzu said in a powerful voice. "But this involves the mystery of the destruction of the Wozig and Doc people, as well as the death of their belief Lilit. I will explain it to you slowly when I go back."
"All expectations? So, Mr. Joffrey's last words were right!"
The old man's voice trembled, and the wrinkles on his face trembled as if they were alive.
"Ahem..."
He suddenly hunched over and coughed violently. He covered the corners of his mouth with his palms and then spread them out. His palms were covered with dazzling blood.
"How do you feel?"
"That vision seems to be the afterimage of the legendary Eastern goddess Lilit. It seals the so-called 'Supreme One' in your mouth here. It cursed me because of our blasphemy." Cosimo Frowning and thinking, he said, "Continuously weakening my physique? But it doesn't matter, I can still hold on."
The two figures left the debris on the ground and walked out of the basement side by side.
"We have to find some help. It needs sufficient 'nutrition'. It's too slow to collect it just by the two of us."
"Go meet those old friends and let them have a happy ending without any regrets!"
