The Throne Under the Starry Sky Chapter 222: The Windy City (Part 2)
The long trestle bridge connects the earth with the blue castle in the morning sun, like a long stairway leading to heaven. Jonah is struggling in a daze. He doesn't know what is waiting in the silent "Royal Star" , But the prophecy of the nameless book pointed to this place unambiguously. He did not need to take out the remaining pages from his arms to verify, and he could accurately repeat the seventh prophecy deeply imprinted in his mind. There was something sticky under his feet, and the astrologer lifted it. He picked up his boots and found that there was still blood on the trestle bridge, "Asai, Asai." He whispered to his partner walking in front, "There was a battle here, you see, blood, there are swords and magic explosions left behind. Traces."
"It's reasonable to have had a fight." The Easterner replied without looking back, "'Midnight Star' is an important mobile stronghold of the Vedic, and Kuligaro must have a strong team dedicated to attacking this place. The castle,,, it seems that the rebels have succeeded, maybe there is a celebration banquet waiting for us, ah, the legendary Vedic wilt wine, just wait a little longer, I'm here..."
"There are banquets, there are ghosts..." The 17-year-old looked worriedly at the dark doorway. No matter how you look at it, it looks like the mouth of a blue castle with wide open.
Venerable Gao Wuzhe came to Jonah silently, "Something is on my mind." A grunting sound rolled from the old monk's throat,
Jona nodded, then shook his head, "No, it's nothing, just some... bad premonitions."
After walking this way, Zha has recovered some vitality. Although it looks like a wandering humanoid object at this moment, he can somewhat illusion facial features and clothing. He has not expressed emotions along the way. Now suddenly he Tugging Zuta’s sleeves vigorously, pulling Shadow Kalan to prevent him from moving forward, Zuta opened his mouth and said, "Master, Jonah, braided swordsman, this castle is not quite right, Zai is very weak now, so I am more capable. Feeling the potential danger, maybe we should not go any further."
The group stopped, and Asai looked at Jonah noncommitantly: "Listen to you, Brother Jonah."
The astrologer stood hesitantly in the middle of the trestle bridge, looking at the western land, the endless Vedic wasteland expands under his feet, although the warm wind of the eastern continent blows from the holy river "ancient disaster", but the raging beasts and barbarians The flood repeatedly destroyed this land, making the eastern part of the Vedas a fertile and barren desolate land. From there, Brahma raised the banner of Vedicism, became sacred in flesh, and led millions of religious soldiers to subvert the ancient Buddha. The country was finally overthrown by the rebels, and fell to the throne of a huge empire as a ruler. This is not an irony of a causal cycle.
Jonah sighed suddenly: "It seems that it won't work if you don't move forward."
Looking down from a high level, a line of smoke and dust rolled on the post road, five six-hoofed horseshoes, a specialty of the Vedic, fluttered, and the chasing soldiers of the Brotherhood of Scarlet Owl were galloping under the leadership of the heavy knights, far away Can distinguish these enemies, the black armor is the abyss knight Cher, the white robe is the Anglican priest Mias, the yellow is the double-axe warrior Afansha, and the red flame is the heir of the fire who has escaped again. Tuva Tugen, in the green skirt, is of course the highest combat power in the Southern Continent of the Brotherhood, the terrifying "Four Religious Ways" ability user, Mrs. Serfina,
The Easterners also found the enemy’s trail, staring around the scarred people, and showing a helpless wry smile: "With my current state and everyone's remaining strength, I'm afraid there is no way to fight...Wearing a green dress The lady is very scary."
"Let's go forward." The astrologer stabilized his mind, raised his staff and pointed it forward,
The group of people speeded up their pace and walked across the trestle bridge, and the last Zuta drew a long knife to cut the trestle bridge. "Boom and rumble..." The wooden bridge collapsed like a snake skin with bones removed, raising high dust. , "I can buy some time." Ying Jialan said expressionlessly. He reached out and pushed the two heavy teak city gates. The gates of the "Royal Star" closed slowly, and the light became gloomy.
Jonah lit the illuminated star array. They were in the hall on the first floor of the castle. The hall was covered with gorgeous red hairy carpets. The hall was empty. A few blood stains dyed the carpet to purple, and two of them hovered up. The stairs penetrated into the dark second-floor space, and a dagger was inserted on the steps, and a pool of blood soaked the tapest on the stairs.
It was quiet in the castle, and there was no sound of fighting, "Is there a corpse?" Asai muttered to himself a little strangely, and first went around the pillars and stepped up the stairs leading to the second floor. Venerable Wuzhe followed silently, Zha was still pulling Zutta's sleeves hard, looking anxiously trying to express something, Ying Jialan patted his arm comfortably and shook his head.
"I don't know what means they used to follow us." As the Easterner walked up the stairs, Jonah suddenly asked. The floor creaked under his feet, which seemed a bit harsh in the silent hall,
"Ms. Green Skirt's certain ability." Asai replied uncertainly,
The light of the stars illuminates the second-floor corridor. Six rooms are lined up along the oval-shaped corridor. The dark blue oak doors are either opened or covered. The marks of fighting and blood are scattered everywhere, but the strange thing is still No corpse appeared in the field of vision, and the group did not stop. They climbed the spiral staircase to the third floor, and Jona’s eyes immediately became bright. There was only one luxuriously decorated room on the third floor of the castle, and the irregular oval-shaped room had more than Twenty large floor-to-ceiling windows stand in the center of the room and you can look around the surrounding scenery without any blind spots. Purple curtains, pure white bead curtains, blue screens and red carpets decorate the space with comfort and comfort. The air is full of incense and fine wine. , Whoever lives here is obviously a guy who likes to enjoy,
"There is still no corpse." The Oriental touched his head and looked up at the upward staircase. The spiral staircase was obviously narrowed and became an inconspicuous decoration in the corner of the room. Asai was the first to climb up the steps, just showing his head. I went and exclaimed: "Wow, Brother Jona, come and take a look."
A group of people went up to the fourth floor one after another from the small staircase. This is a room without windows. There are thirteen shiny crystal **** on the four walls, and each crystal ball has a human-shaped groove. Each human-shaped groove is locked with an iron lock to a man with a naked body. Each man’s eyes, mouth, and ears are closed by golden silk threads. There are pipes in his lower body. His skin is pale and motionless. The middle of the house is from the ceiling. A huge crystal ball is hung down, and the smoke in the ball is flowing and changing, as if there is life,
"Don't." Seeing that Jonah wanted to come forward to unlock the chains, Venerable Gouzhe reached out and stopped: "They are dead, their souls have been forcibly stripped and poured into the crystal ball, for To keep the soul alive, the corpse is placed directly under the soul, so that the soul thinks that it is still alive in this world. This is the power mechanism of the'Royal Star', which uses soul sacrifice spells to extract the power of the soul as energy."
"Abominable Veda." The astrologer couldn't bear to look at the absent eyes of these men, and couldn't help but hate.
"Actually, these people volunteered to be sacrifices." The old monk closed his mouth after saying this, not wanting to say more,
The four doors of the power room lead to four towers. Each tower has an attack device driven by the power of the soul sacrifice, but there is no one except the blood stains on the ground. A group of people climbed the stairs to the fifth Floor is also the highest open-air platform of the "Royal Star". In the center of the platform stands a four-faced image of Brahma. The dark blue terrazzo floor reflects the sunlight, which looks a little dazzling. Several pools of blood are scattered randomly, but there are still no living people or corpses. Exists,
"Damn, where are people going." Asai said strangely,
At this time, there was a faint blasting sound from deep in the ground. Looking down from the top floor, the cavalry was already hidden under the castle. It must be the members of the Brotherhood who were forcibly opening the gate of the mobile castle. Zuta was fierce. He turned around, drew his long knife and walked towards the stairs, "Wait, look." Jonah yelled, pointing to the east,
The broad dark-green river rushes quietly. It turns out that the "Ancient Distress" of the holy river is right in front of us. The valley of this big river is deep below the ground level, so its existence cannot be observed on the flat ground, "slow current period." The Easterners blew a whistle in surprise, "As long as the transnational holy river reaches the Eastern Continent, these chasing soldiers will converge a lot, after all... wait, what."
The look on Asai’s face turned from surprise to shock, from shock to incredible sluggishness, the same look appeared on everyone’s face, because the sky over the valley of the holy river "ancient disaster" was rapidly gathering darkness. Nimbus, "click..." The lightning chain flew in the clouds, and the rain cloud, which was as thick as asphalt, squirmed like life, compressing the thick water vapor to the extreme, "boom..." The rain poured down. , It was a terrible rainstorm that Jonah had never seen in his life. Every inch of the space was filled with thick rain pillars, and the water was lashing the river like a whip. A turbulent waterfall appeared over the valley, and the dark green river began to flow. Roaring and rolling, rising at a frightening speed, and in an instant it overflowed the valley and turned into a flood. The "ancient disaster" of the holy river completely changed its appearance. The earth, the sky and the valley have been connected together, and the deep green water is boundless. It spreads endlessly, the hurricane blows the flood, and the dawn becomes the end of the world,
The slow current period turned into the rapid current period, and the first ray of life that had just been ignited was cut off, but Jonah was thinking quickly at this time, and shouted: "This may be an opportunity, Venerable Gaowuzhe, Zuta, Asai , Who of you can control the mobile castle, the enemy is still on the first floor and has not attacked, we are moving towards the holy river, as long as they are blocked underneath, once the flood overflows the bottom, even the strong will be helpless."
Venerable Gao Wuzhe didn’t say anything. He leaned back into the stairs and returned to the fourth-floor power room. The group then rushed down the stairs and watched the old monk holding the central crystal ball. The sphere began to buzz and vibrate. Shining a bright light, the Easterner said with joy: "Great, maybe it's a chance, Zuta, let's go down and stop them. Using the'Royal Star', maybe even the holy river in the rapids can be directly crossed. Just rush to the Eastern Continent like this."
"Understood." Zutta nodded to Jona, and stepped down the stairs. Asai patted the astrologer on the shoulder: "Good luck, brother Jona."
"Good luck, partner." The young man nodded firmly,
The Oriental disappeared at the top of the stairs, and Jona looked at the old monk with a stature, and clenched the staff in his hand.
"I know what you want to ask, why I will manipulate this mobile castle." Venerable Gao Wuzhe said dryly, "Actually, the power system of the Royal Star is powered by the Great Prajna monk. Designed by the people, the soul sacrifice itself is the darkest chapter in the Buddhist dharma."
The astrologer was stunned,
At this moment, there was a sharp noise like cracking silk from the sky, the roof was torn apart like paper, and the broken bricks fell one after another. The dark sky appeared above the head, a pair of huge, full of golden and red feathers. The wings fly by with strong wind, the owner of the wings is clearly a man in gorgeous clothes,
"Garuda, the **** of the big peng bird...Is this city really your home? Both the defenders and the rebels have become food for the angry you, hey." Venerable Gao Wuzhe said Without looking up, he sighed leisurely,
The ground trembled suddenly, thirteen male corpses issued a stern cry, the "Royal Star" mobile castle began to move in the dark green river, the image was turbulent in front of it, at this moment, a familiar voice sounded at d· Jonah II’s mind: "Damn, why is this always the case."
"Advent, we are going to get through this dead end together." Jonah's soul answered calmly,
