Chapter 216: Commitment
Beachy Province, northwestern dense forest.
It was winter in the outside world, and when Hai Tianlan and the others came out of the Beach Mining Area, there was heavy snow like goose feathers in the sky.
was able to successfully find the abbot's meditation room, and also found the corpse king hall, which saved a lot of time for Hai Tianlan, and at this time there were still nearly two months before the three courtyards.
Tulip and the others were waiting for Hai Tianlan in the distance, and when they saw Zabuta leaving a code, Hai Tianlan found it alone.
First of all, he learned about the situation in the outside world from Zabuta, and Hai Tianlan also learned from Zabuta that the truth in the edict caused a huge panic among the civilians, but fortunately, the reaction of the combat skill cultivators was not outrageous.
Moreover, most of the warrior cultivators have also responded to the call of the state, and they have already laid a tight defensive line on the perimeter of those ruins. Although there are many casualties in the population, for the time being, the situation is still under control!
There is also a big event happening on the Terran side, that is, King Long Aotian passed away last month!
A generation of Ming monarchs rested in peace, and the mourning music on the Marfa continent rang out for several days.
Long Aotian's son, Long Xiaoyun, has succeeded to the throne as the new king, and there is a lot of discussion about whether this new king will be a Ming monarch in private, whether it is a commoner or a combat skill cultivator! After all, he is the king, and any decision he makes for the country has a huge impact.
"I can't believe you've found it, and the crisis can finally be temporarily alleviated!"
Taking the box that had been brought out of the abbot's meditation room, Zabuta looked very excited.
"Zabuta, how long can this thing keep the seal in the ruins going?"
"Theoretically, I can let those seals last for about fifty years!"
"Fifty years...... Well, it's not too short to say it's short, it's not too long to say it's long! Do you recognize this thing? ”
Hai Tianlan took out the ancient scroll that Tulip had found.
"I don't know what it is, I'll go back and ask for you! However, judging from the energy flowing within this ancient scroll, this should be the key to unlocking some kind of seal! By the way, there should be a record of the truth about this world in the abbot's meditation room, right? ”
Handing the scroll back, Zabuta's eyes tinged with sadness.
"Yes, I learned about the origin of the ruins of the mining area, and I learned about the hunting grounds of the gods."
"And how do you feel?" Zabuta laughed.
"Feelings? I don't feel much anymore, try to improve my strength, and let's talk about it when the day comes! Hai Tianlan also smiled.
"It's best if you think like this, the whole human race is developing, and no one knows what the variables will be in fifty years."
"Zabuta, it's been so long, what is the purpose of your help me, this should be able to tell me, right?"
As for the purpose of the forces behind Zabuta, Hai Tianlan has guessed it now, but he still wants to hear what the other party has to say.
"Well, now it's not as good as it was at the beginning, I've gone through so many things, and it's time to tell you!"
"It's not much different from what we told you at the beginning, we really want to help you recover your memory and even strength. We are doing this because you are the prophesied doom! ”
"I think you yourself have discovered that you have some consciousness and consciousness in your bones that ordinary people don't have! What was your strength before you lost your memory, even if I didn't say it, you should be able to feel it, it was extremely terrifying! And whether a person can achieve great things, people often say that three points are destined! This "day" can also be said to refer to luck, and a small three points is enough to affect the success or failure of everything! ”
"What do you think of your luck? You have found the snake of the Flame Snake King, and you have found the abbot's Zen room! Do you know how much effort and time has gone into finding these things? The most important reason why they can't find it is that they don't have that mysterious luck! ”
"If a person's luck is good enough, it is enough to affect the people around him! It is enough to make someone who has nothing to do with the purpose unconsciously participate and help him accomplish what he wants to accomplish! Do you believe what I'm saying? ”
"Zabuta, I believe these. Do you have any guidance for me? Or is there anything I want to do? ”
"It's not for the time being, and the time of the demon tribulation has been able to slow down for a while because you found the abbot's meditation room. However, there is guidance! Find time to go to the Woma temple to have a look, there are words you left on the altar in the main hall of Woma, I hope you can remember something when you see those words! ”
Hai Tianlan nodded, and there was a brief silence between him and Zabuta.
"There's something I want to tell you! This year, the half-orcs will attack Ginkgo Village in the Winter Famine, your senior Taoist home is relatively close to Ginkgo Village, if you reinforce Ginkgo Village at that time, I hope you are careful, there are even priests among the half-orcs who participated in the Winter Famine this time! ”
After some hesitation, Zabuta still told Hai Tianlan about it. And these words it said, for Hai Tianlan, it was undoubtedly explosive! These words are not long, but they are very informative!
The snow was still so fluttering, watching the snow flakes that fell in the palm of his hand slowly turn into a cold liquid, Hai Tianlan slowly spoke.
"Why are you telling me this?"
"You must have been curious from the beginning, why would I, as the High Priestess among the Orcs, help humans do things? In fact, I helped humanity to do things for a prophecy in which the orcs would be completely wiped out! ”
"I serve the forces behind me, just because I don't want the prophecy of heaven to really come true! Therefore, from the day I learned of the prophecy, the high priests of the orcs have been the "Protectors of the Dark Moon" among the forces behind me. And in return, the force would tell the High Priest at the right time which person was the key to breaking the prophecy! ”
"The forces behind me haven't told me who that person really is, but I think that person must be you! So, I don't want anything to happen to you, the orc priesthood isn't what you can handle right now! And the prophesied people are not immortal, so you still have to be careful in everything! ”
After saying these words, Zabuta's tall body bent down, and it bowed to the sea and sky, and it still knelt!
Hai Tianlan, who was standing with his hands in his hands, was not too surprised, but he didn't immediately let Zabuta get up, he understood that Zabuta was showing favor to him, and he also wanted a promise from him!
The forest in the snow was so silent that the only thing clear was the sound of snow falling from the trees.
Zabuta, the high priest whose status was second only to the king among the orcs, and whose strength was equivalent to that of a human combat skill cultivator above level 100, knelt, and the person it knelt on was the sea sky blue who was only twenty-six in rank.
"Zabuta, you have to understand! Half-orcs like to eat people and plunder is something in their bones, and humans like to invade and expand is also something in their bones! It seems to me that it is impossible for these two races to make peace! ”
"My lord, I know this! I don't know how the crisis that was difficult to resolve in prophecy was resolved by those who responded to it! I can only hope that you can help me when the orcs are facing a great crisis! And I also promise that in the years when I was the great priest of the orcs, the base of the orcs could only be in Ishihara, and even if the orcs came to the human side, it would be just a small fight, and this time the priests' participation in the winter famine was just an accident! ”
Zabuta's name for Hai Tianlan has changed, and the natural advantages and disadvantages of the two races make it know that if the orcs fight the human race, it will only be a matter of time before they perish.
"Zabta, get up! If one day my words do the trick, and the orcs are like you, I wouldn't mind saying a word for you! But then again, you orcs are really good at picking the time, which really makes the Terran side worry about internal troubles! ”
Hai Tianlan's brows were already tightly furrowed, no matter what kind of hidden circumstances the national forces had, this time in the face of the monster coming out, they were just calling on people from outside the city to participate! Then even if they knew that the priests were involved in the half-orcs fighting the winter famine this year, they shouldn't be able to take care of it!
However, since Zabuta had already told him about this matter, he wanted to come to Zabuta to destroy some priests by the hands of the Terrans! And Hai Tianlan is very difficult to ignore this kind of mass civilian death, so if he can, he will also help!
Hai Tianlan has decided to notify the village chief of Ginkgo Village in the form of an anonymous letter, and it is said that the village chief can be regarded as a qualified official. As for whether he will believe it after reading the letter, or if the national forces will have any countermeasures for it, it is not up to him!
Similar to what happened to the Confucite Tribe, Hai Tianlan didn't want it to happen a second time! Moreover, this time the priest participated in the fight against the winter famine, and if he hadn't heard Zabuta say it himself, even he wouldn't have believed it.
Seeing that Hai Tianlan's brows were so tightly furrowed, Zabuta decided to tell him one more thing, something that might make his brows less wrinkled.
**********
The three-chamber competition on the Marfa continent once every five years will be held in less than a month. The venue of Dabi is changed every time, and this time it is the turn of the senior Taoist priest's house.
At this time in previous years, the Three Houses Dabi is a very grand event, and all parties will pay strong attention to it, this is a grand event for elites to come out!
In the second half of this year, Dean Ren was very happy, and he would have an advantage in any game at home! Moreover, after recruiting Hai Tianlan as a special case, the entire academy seemed to be transferred, which made him wake up with a smile many times in his dreams!
It's a pity that Dean Ren's good mood that lasted for half a year was completely destroyed this winter! The commotion of the monsters has brought the attention of Dabi to a freezing point this year, and compared to the safety of the entire race, a big competition between colleges seems to be insignificant.
Hai Tianlan has returned to the academy, and the representatives of the other two academies have also entered the home of the senior Taoist priest today. (To be continued.) )
