Chapter 420: The Last Guardian

The Far North hides countless secrets, and under these hidden secrets, it seems that you can smell a certain smell of the gods who have disappeared from the human continent.

And now this cold ancient tower seems to have some kind of answer to these secrets.

She had an inhuman aura from beginning to end.

But even so, Tian Xian didn't plan to stay in this place, although he wanted to know who built this tower, what kind of relationship it had with the Tianyan clan, and who used to live here, there were still many miscellaneous questions, but compared to these problems, his life was obviously more important.

It's impossible to know for sure what will happen, but in this place that is by no means a normal human being can set foot, even a minute of lingering will be in danger of accidents.

Eve seemed to be going to prepare something, and when she was going to let Tian Xian and Ling stay, Tian Xian got up and stopped her.

"Sister Eve, we don't intend to live here, on the contrary, we intend to leave here with you, which is the main purpose of our visit. ”

Eve sighed softly helplessly, "Didn't I already say it, this place is not a place to come and go casually, it's a miracle that you can break in, and now you still want to leave, hey...... Be obedient and don't make any more trouble. ”

Tian Xian moved his footsteps, stopping Eve who was about to leave again, his eyes were like fire, "Sister Eve, we came here at the risk of death, not to mess around, the snow is still waiting for us to go back in the village, and I have never planned to stay here." ”

"yes, we didn't want to stay here like you. Ling slowly ate the snack, she was really hungry, but she was completely supportive of Tian Xian's words, "The ban here is very strong. We've known for a long time, but we're not here to chat with you, and we're going to leave right away, no matter how difficult it is, and ...... to put it mildly."

Ling smiled bitterly, "I can't hold it for long, it's a while." The power of this black horn will erode my spirit, and I don't want to become crazy. ”

Eve turned to look at the black horn on Ling's head, and hesitated for a moment.

Tian Xian took the opportunity to gently push her back to the table, smiled slightly, and suddenly eased the solemn atmosphere a lot, "Sister Eve, how did you get here, we know that you definitely didn't come here like us, Grandma Kong has some special way to send people here, right?"

said. Tian Xian couldn't help but show eagerness, "Since there were many people living in this tower in the past, there must be a convenient and fast way to enter and exit, and since Sister Eve can come in, then there is definitely a way to get out." ”

Eve had to sigh, looked at Tianxian and Ling, shook her head and said, "No wonder, you have worked so hard to get here." It's inevitable that you will feel that there is a way to get out, so come with me. I'll show you something, and you'll understand it after reading it. ”

After speaking, Eve left the room with a look of regret, Tian Xian and Ling were puzzled, exchanged glances with each other, and quickly followed. By the way, Ling also brought the plate for the snacks.

Three footsteps sounded on the corridor of the Hangu Tower, which had not been noisy for hundreds of years, gently echoing, and Eve took Tianxian and Ling skillfully through some shortcuts, and continued to climb towards the top of the tower layer by layer. As we get closer to the top, each floor shrinks and the rate at which the tower is climbed increases.

"Do you know why I'm here?" The three of them walked quietly, suppressed by the terrifying silence in the tower, and Eve's question seemed abrupt, stopping Tianxian and Ling at once.

"You...... You broke your oath and you're here. Ling muttered quietly, but there was suspicion in his voice, "Could it be ...... Is there anything else to be said about this?"

Eve chuckled softly, soothing and calm, "Ling, you're only half right, and it's the unimportant half. ”

Ling couldn't help frowning, "Half? Could it be that you were punished here for some other reason?"

Ling looked back and smiled slightly, "I was punished here, it is true that I broke my original oath, and because Xue was recognized as a cursed child by the gods, our family had to be forced to separate, for which I ...... Xue Yuan was taken away by Bai and left the village......"

Speaking of the past, Eve looked gloomy, "I thought that fate was so cruel, and I would never see her again in this life, but I didn't expect that the cruelty of fate was far more than that, she returned here again, but she was besieged by the ethereal dream......"

A soft and gentle smile appeared on Eve's lips, faint, but strongly infectious everyone who saw this smile.

Tianxian remembers that in Huowu Mountain, Sanniang occasionally smiled at herself, as if she ...... Mother.

"The most important reason why I'm here is because Grandma Sora will help Xue and let her regain her freedom earlier. ”

Ling suddenly stopped, his eyes widening, "What did you say?"

"Ling, you remember, there are only a few places that Grandma Kong can help, and it is you who can really save the snow. ”

"Are you crazy?" Ling couldn't believe Ling's words at all.

Eve still had a warm smile on her face, "As my daughter, you should be more confident, you can definitely save your sister, I am very sure of this, so I came here." ”

"You ......"

"Okay, okay~~ We're going to hurry, it's getting dark. Looking out the window, Eve urged.

Ling's expression became a little solemn, and Eve's words made her feel at a loss.

"Let's go, anyway, let's see what she wants to show us. Tian Xian walked past Ling, "Anyway, we are closer to the truth than before, which is something to be happy about." ”

Nodding silently, Ling immediately followed.

Eve walked slowly in front of her, occasionally giving a brief introduction to the situation of the Hanguta.

"This tower has been uninhabited for a while, so it looks very dilapidated now, and I'm slowly recovering it these days, and it may take a while to fully recover, and now a lot of things are unusable, and if it were a few more days, we wouldn't have to climb it up like this. ”

Tian Xian couldn't help but wonder, "Is there any way to get to somewhere in this tower right away?"

"Pretty much. Eve smiled lightly, "There is something called a spirit kite in the human continent, you should know. He said. Eve's gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the small cage on Tian Xian's waist, and the spirit kite's nest inside was not inconspicuous at all.

"Spirit Kite ......" Tianxian was secretly surprised.

"Actually, the spirit kite was brought to the human continent from here, and then it was widely used by humans. ”

Tian Xian was really taken aback, the current human continent, the spirit kite has become an extremely important information transmission tool. But the origin of this strange life of the spirit kite, it seems that no one really wants to get to the bottom of it.

Eve suddenly sighed softly, "Pure mood and consciousness are connected, and dirty souls can cross the barriers of time and space, but unfortunately, even if we imitate outstanding props, we still can't achieve that kind of extreme."

Smiling, Eve glanced at Tian Xian and Ling strangely, "But that's it." We've never given up, and that's what makes us human, human...... What a good race. ”

Tian Xian couldn't hear what Eve was saying, but Eve didn't seem to want to explain at all, pointed to the huge window and said: "The ethereal spirits outside this tower are all specially imprisoned here, they have been imprisoned here for more than a thousand years, they are isolated between our world and the Void Illusion, and they cannot dissipate here. It is impossible to return to their world, time passes. All that remains is mania and tyranny, and they have an extreme hatred for all living beings, and they are natural guards. ”

Tian Xian forgot to glance at the rows of huge windows, and the blue sky was outside, "The outer prohibition of this tower has been broken by me, and those void spirits have probably fled." ”

Eve smiled. "Little fool, you think that you can break the ban here so easily, it's just a small trick, for those who attack it, you naturally have to let it in and let the ethereal spirit deal with it. It's just that you were lucky enough to rush through the second layer of prohibition, and the outer layer of prohibition has already been restored after you entered here. ”

Tian Xian and Ling couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

"It's not that simple for this tower to stand for a thousand years. Eve looked at Tian Xian and Ling with a smile, "Anyway, if you want to live here for a while, study hard, it will be a great wealth in the future." ”

"Sister Eve, you seem to ...... Familiar with this place?" Tian Xian suddenly realized that Eve was introducing Hanguta as if she was the master, but it shouldn't have been long since she came here.

Eve's smile remains, "Of course, because now I'm the guardian here. ”

"Shou...... Guardians?"

"Now is not the time for you to ask, but soon you will have answers to all your questions, let's go, we are almost at the top of the tower. ”

Eve led Tian Xian and Ling all the way to the top of the tower, although they always said that they would arrive soon, but it took about two hours to finally reach the top of the tower.

The top of the tower of the ancient tower is a circular room of about 100 square meters, empty and almost without any furnishings, the round integrated window allows the sunlight to shine in at all times, even if it is already dusk, the glow still makes this place very bright.

The only thing that stands out in this room is the stone pillar in the center.

This is the tip of the stone pillar that runs through the entire Hangu Pagoda.

Eve walked slowly to the stone pillar, looked at the carvings on it that no one recognized, put a thick ancient book on the bookshelf next to it, turned around and said, "This room is the last post of the gods. ”

Tian Xian and Ling were stunned when they were looking at the entire room, "The last checkpoint...... Gods?"

"What do you see when you look out the window?" asked Eve, pointing out the window.

Outside the window, the sun was like fire, and the clouds were rolling around like flowing fire.

Tianxian couldn't help but look up, like the extreme north of the ice mirror hanging overhead, giving people an extremely illusory feeling. Ling came to the window, but looked at the sky under his feet, shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing exists in this kind of place." ”

"That's not right!" Eve stretched out her index finger and shook it helplessly, "Outside the window, it's the whole world!"

Ling couldn't help but furrow his thin eyebrows, "What the hell are you trying to say, you're saying something inexplicable from beginning to end." ”

Eve pressed her hand on the book she had just given, and a strange light lit up from the book, and in response, the carvings on the stone pillar also lit up at the same time.

"Since you can come here, there may be some things you should know even if the gods are destined for it, but remember, don't mention it to others, it's the secret of the gods. ”

Tian Xian and Ling were surprised to hear a strange tone from Eve's mouth. It was as if she was singing some psalm, almost exactly the same as the voice she had sung in that hall when she first saw her.

In an instant, the light in the entire room was dimmed and dimmed, and the glow disappeared in an instant, and Tian Xian and Ling looked out in shock. couldn't help but freeze in place.

The clouds in the sky have disappeared, and a vast land appears outside the window, with heavy snow flying, snow peaks, and it is actually a snow-capped mountain.

This is obviously above the sky, where does the snow-capped mountain come from!?

Tian Xian and Ling both stared out the window with wide eyes, the snowflakes were flying, and the snow peaks near and far were one after another, no matter how real they were. Definitely not an illusion.

"Someone!" Ling suddenly shouted, Tian Xian immediately looked over, and immediately found that there seemed to be several people moving on the snow peak.

After enough eyesight, Tian Xian looked intently, and couldn't help but be taken aback again, these people were wearing thick fur coats, and the coats were embroidered with the emblem of the flame line.

"Sieberg Clan!?" Tianxian recognized the emblem almost at a glance.

"What's going on?" looked back at Eve with a smile.

"Here. It's the last outpost of the gods, now you understand?" Eve uttered a few strange syllables again, and the scene outside the window changed again.

A long barrier of ice and snow appeared outside the window, stretching from the front to the extreme horizon, and this time not only people could be seen, but also clearly visible, and there were many people moving around on this barrier.

Tianxian can no longer describe his mood. This is actually the ice and snow defense line of the Thundermark tribe on the high ground! The unusually burly highlander on this defense line! It is clearly the patriarch of the Thundermark tribe!

How could you see the scene on the high ground in this cold ancient tower thousands of miles away!?

The scenery outside the window changed again, and the original appearance was restored, the clouds and mist slowly rolled, and the fire-like glow reflected the sky. Picturesque view.

Eve exhaled lightly, her palm left the ancient book, and the light emitted from the book immediately converged, and the stone pillar also quieted down, "This is just one of the many functions of the Hangu Tower, do you understand?"

Ling looked at his mother in disbelief, "Here...... Can you observe the high ground?"

"It was more than that. Eve replied regretfully: "If it was the heyday, every corner of the entire human continent could be clearly seen. ”

This sentence simply made Tian Xian and Ling feel a little frightened.

"It's a pity that time flies, and our Tianyan clan is gradually declining, and this place is often unattended, and the area that can be seen now is very limited. ”

Ling's eyes widened, "Could it be that this tower is guarded by our Tianyan Clan?"

Eve smiled, "Of course, otherwise who do you think lived here?"

"The Tianyan Clan, once lived here?" Ling's voice was a little dry, and she couldn't help but look around, "You mean...... Our ancestors lived here, and then they came to the ice field.

"Not bad!" Eve nodded and said with a smile, "Have you never wondered why our clan is called the Heavenly Eye?"

"That's it...... Is it because of this?"

"So when we left here and had to set foot on the human continent, we gave ourselves a name for our nostalgia home, but alas...... We still failed and eventually had to return to this barren land. ”

Ling felt an unprecedented sense of absurdity hit his brain, and asked loudly, "But why did we leave? Why did ......we go to the ice field to die?"

The voice stopped abruptly, and Ling looked at Eve in a daze, Eve smiled, and her fingers gently rubbed the black horn on her forehead.

"Ling ......" Eve's voice was full of helplessness, "We are servants of the gods, we have followed the great gods for thousands of years, and in countless years we have been reborn and have incredible power, but unfortunately, we are not gods after all! When the gods fell, the source of our strength also collapsed, and the chaotic power brought us a deep disaster, we had to leave this land where faith collapsed, in order to continue life, in order to continue our mission, for this we must go to the human continent, it is a last resort, to return here." ”

Ling's breathing was a little confused, "What the hell is this black horn, if we are servants of the gods, why are we cursed by the gods!?"

An imperceptible gleam flashed in Eve's eyes, "Ling, this is not a curse, but our original appearance. ”

This time, even Tian Xian, who had been listening quietly on the side, was taken aback, what was his original appearance? Could it be that the Tianyan Clan thousands of years ago originally had black horns?

Ling didn't know what to say, so he stayed there completely.

Gently stroking the black horn on her head, Eve said lightly: "The god we once believed in was born with black horn, this horn is the most precious gift we have received in thousands of years of following, but unfortunately our god has fallen, the source of our power has fallen into chaos, this power that does not belong to us has become the most terrible enemy, madness, tyranny erodes our consciousness, countless clansmen have gone crazy and died, so ...... The Tianyan clan had to leave this place where the power of faith was the strongest, and suppressed their own power with secret methods. ”

"So...... And you, you?" Ling pointed to Eve's horn, "Your horn is ...... again"

Eve smiled, "There are always one or two heavenly eyes, which are rare and outstanding, and it is still possible to control the chaos caused by this power by relying on their own will, huh...... I seem to be one of them. ”

Ling seemed to understand something, "Could it be ...... Historically, the people who have been imprisoned here?"

"All are chosen guardians. Eve replied in the affirmative, "Every single one is!

It's finally back to normal updates, and the time is just right, and I'll start making up tomorrow. (To be continued......)
