Chapter 586: Oracle
The world is in turmoil again.
The old man stood at the top of the White Tower, looking into the distance with a worried face. It was dusk, and a blood-like sunset appeared on the horizon. But in Nora's eyes, it was like the blood of the world. As a son of a demigod, he can clearly feel the calamities, pain, and sorrows that the world is experiencing. Is that all they have to go through? Is the peace that was so so hard to be found so fragile that they have just buried the bones of their predecessors, and now they have to pay for the same reasons?
"The Nine Saints ......... above"
Nora let out a low sigh, and then he clutched the emblem on his chest. His expression became cloudy, after a few moments. The most well-known being on the Crane Continent seemed to have finally made up her mind, and raised the emblem in her hand, and then Nora closed her eyes and began to pray.
"Great gods, I humbly pray for your coming, and I am willing to give my life for the sake of this world, for the peace of all this. And now, please appear before me......... Father of all things, Mother of life, please listen to my call and come to me!! ”
As Nora spoke, the next moment, I saw that the Holy Emblem he was holding in his hand suddenly burst into a dazzling and bright golden light. Then a thick pillar of light shot from the spire of the Holy White Tower into the sky, and the originally gloomy sky became bright and dazzling. Seeing this scene, everyone below stopped and looked at this pillar of light in amazement. Many people even knelt down directly and praised the gods of the Nine Saints loudly.
But at this moment, Nora has no time to care about other people's thoughts, and the old man at this moment is already exhausted. His originally ruddy complexion turned pale, and his body, which was still quite tough. Now it's also getting rickety. But he just raised his head and looked in front of him -- only in the void before him. A humanoid object condensed from golden light slowly emerged from it.
"We hear your call, Sage Nora."
A peaceful voice sounded in Nora's ears, just hearing this voice, the old man burst into tears, the voice seemed to come from the softest place in the depths of his heart, just the moment he heard this voice, it completely soothed the worries and worries in his heart, only a peace.
"Holy Attendant ........."
Looking at the light and shadow in front of her, Nora lowered her head deeply. Didn't say anything more. He knew very well that since the gods had sent their attendants, it meant that they knew what they wanted. And now, they are going to give themselves the answer to this question, and about the future of this continent. But by this time, Nora was nervous. He didn't know if the answer was as bad as he had predicted, or worse. But all he could do now was wait. Wait for the gods to reveal the answer to him.
"We've heard your request, Nora."
The voice still echoed in Nora's ears, but this time, it was filled with deep apprehension.
"The dark night is coming. Fate spins with it. Once again, the Klein Continent will be plunged into the smoke of war, and the boundaries between life and death will be broken, and in its place there will be destruction......... But. We will not allow this to continue, this continent. The creatures of this continent should not have such a fate. ”
As he spoke. The Holy Acolyte raised his right hand, and the next moment, a golden light flew out from between his fingers, striking Nora on the forehead. The moment she was hit by the beam, Nora shuddered all over, and the next moment, scenes appeared in front of Nora. There, he saw the land that had been full of life turned into scorched earth, the once lively towns in ruins, and the people who had been full of vitality fell in pools of blood and died tragically. And all of this stems from a ritual, an evil secret. It will sweep across the continent, and no one, no place, will be spared.........
"This ......... This ..............."
When he opened his eyes, Nora's face turned pale, he didn't expect that things would be so serious. Those terrible demon kings actually left the lower realm where they had been living and came to the main plane! How is this possible? Aren't those powerful demon kings impossibly impossible to come to this plane because they are restricted?
"It's all a cycle of fate, Nora."
Perhaps seeing through the old man's innermost thoughts, the Holy Attendant said lightly.
"The ancient demon kings broke the taboo, but we are not without means to deal with them. But until then, I need you to stay on top. Nora, this affliction is a test that you will have to face. If you can't hold on, then there's nothing the gods can do. The reason why evil is raging is precisely because the human heart is sinister. The forces of darkness are condensing, and the forces of evil are growing. However, there are times when the tide is high and the tide is low. When the dark forces reach their peak of strength, they are bound to be greeted by a great decline. The only thing you can do is to withstand the raging waves of the dark Ones until that time comes. ”
"I see."
Faced with the order of the holy attendant, the old man bowed his head humbly and respectfully. But after a moment, he hesitated, but still spoke.
"But......... Why wouldn't the gods tell me about the demon kings? ”
It was normal for Nora to ask this question, he had seen a lot of the images of the future that the gods had shown him before, but he didn't know what the demon kings themselves were. In fact, the only thing Nora could see clearly in the end was five indistinct figures, which meant that there were five demon kings who came to the surface. However, this is only what he can do, and no matter how much he can't see.
"The gods can't fathom its secrets."
The Holy Acolyte didn't think it was an unspeakable topic, and quickly gave an answer.
"Destiny is not a straight one-way street, but a criss-crossing cobweb. Even gods can't easily get more information from the fog of fate. Darkness is everywhere, but in the darkest places, there are also seeds of light that remain. Remember your duty, Nora, and the blessings of the gods are with you. ”
With these words, the figure of the holy attendant gradually disappeared. At the same time, the pillar of light that had reached the sky disappeared without a trace, and the entire space returned to its original silence after a flash of golden light. And even so, the old man still stood there silently. It wasn't until the last rays of the evening sun disappeared below the horizon and the world was once again covered in darkness that Nora looked up. In those vicissitudes of life, the fierce fighting spirit once again shone brightly.
"That's right, this is just the beginning."
With that, the old man turned and walked into the White Tower.
Night is back.
"Drink, ah, ah!!"
Montgomery raised his sword and slashed forward. I saw a pure white sword qi suddenly burst out from his long sword, roaring forward. A passage hundreds of meters long was carved out among the mountains and seas of undead creatures. The undead creatures on the sword wind trail were all split in two, and seeing this scene, the soldiers who were fighting hard also broke out into a frantic shout and pushed forward again. In the blink of an eye, I saw the undead army in front of me fluctuate again, and then was pushed back by force.
"Hold this place, plug the gaps, and don't let them rush through!!"
As he spoke, Montgomery wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead, then stepped back and looked around again.
I don't know if it was lucky or unlucky, but after a few days of retreat from the undead army, they swept in again. And the offensive is more fierce than before. This made Montgomery depressed and happy, depressed that with the outbreak of fierce battles again, the consumption of material supplies on the Chaos Coast also increased a lot, and in this way, once the material supply in the rear was completely broken, then it was impossible to hold on to the front. Fortunately, with the attack of the undead army, the gossip that caused people to panic before has finally stopped a lot. After all, even if you are worried about the situation in the rear, you must always survive by yourself. If you die in the attack of the undead army, then there is no need to care about what is going on over there.
But if it goes on like this...............
Thinking of this, Montgomer shook his head with force and threw aside the deep worries in his heart. And just as he was about to give the order again, suddenly a soldier trotted up to Montgomery.
"Report to the Grand Knight of Montgomery, Lord Pashanon wants to see you!"
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Montgomery couldn't help but be stunned -- what was he doing here? Could it be that the Endless Harbor has been lost?
Thinking of this, Montgomery immediately became worried. Thinking about it, he had been having a headache with the complicated internal affairs all this time, but he didn't have time to care about it on the Endless Harbor side. Montgomery didn't even know exactly what was going on Jenn's side. Because of this, when he got the news, Montgomery's first thought was that the Endless Harbor had been lost under the attack of the undead army. Although it is said that even if the Endless Harbor is lost, it will not cause much damage to the Chaos Coast, but now Montgomery already has a bit of a headache.
And at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded in Montgomery's ears.
"Long time no see, is everything alright? The Grand Knight of Montgomery? ”
Hearing this, Montgomery looked up, and then couldn't help but be stunned.
What the hell is this? (To be continued.) )
