"...... of Kayla Barjurian" Vikos, shocked by the sudden and dramatic change in the scenery around him, repeated the name of the mysterious woman who did not know where she came from and where she was going.

"That's right, Kayla Barjulian, the one who made a contract with you. Kayla Barjulian said as she pointed her finger at Vikos's eyebrows. Even though they were more than ten meters away, Vicos still felt an indescribable tingling sensation in the center of her eyebrows, as if someone was holding a silver needle against his eyebrows.

"Don't look so nervous, boy. Kayla Barjulian looked at Vikos, who looked a little flustered, and sneered.

"I'm not nervous. Vicos muttered softly.

In the silver temple, two people were opposites, and perhaps one of them could not be counted as a human being. After all, in this world, there are too many beings that human beings cannot touch, and if this is not the case, how can human beings pin their fate on the ethereal gods?

"Is there anything you want to ask?" a white throne slowly rose from the marble floor, the left and right sides of the throne were carved with purple patterns, and most of the entire throne was surrounded by a strange purple pattern.

"I know you have a lot to ask, like where is this place, what is that strange contract, and who am I?" Before Vicos could ask the question, Kayla Barrulian preemptively said what he wanted to say, and after Kayla Barrulian did this, there was even a sly expression on her face, as if she was quite satisfied that she had guessed what Vikos was thinking.

"Hmm...... Do I answer or don't answer you? She stood on her tiptoes and came to the throne in a man-like manner. Stretching out her white jade-like hand to caress the patterns on the throne, she seemed to be enjoying the touch of the uneven texture of those patterns. She was slightly fascinated by her eyes.

Kayla Barjulian slowly moved to the throne, slowly lifting her skirt to her ankles and sitting down. Then he gently patted his hand on the skirt that had been wrinkled by sitting on the throne.

"It's a pity that I'm not such a kind person. Kayla Barjulian is not a good angel. After arranging her dress, Kayla Barjulian cupped her cheeks with her right hand, rested her elbows on the purple armrest of the throne, and tilted her head to look at Vikos under the throne.

"So, you're a demon?" Vikos, who finally had the opportunity to speak, continued as Keyla Bajulian continued, though he didn't think it was worth anything.

"Demons......? It's a good adjective, but I don't think it's a term that represents me. Kayla Barrulian raised her left hand and waved it in the air.

"Hmm......" Vicos subconsciously frowned as he watched her wave her arms, he thought that this time it would cause some drastic changes. It's like this temple that rose out of nowhere.

"Don't be so nervous, this ......," said Keira Barjulian, as if she had seen through what Vikos was thinking, "just a small thing. ”

A purple glow was rising, rising over the white marble floor. Several cracks of the same size appeared in the floor in front of Vikos, and purple light was seeping out of the cracks, illuminating the entire temple, dyeing it a strange purple.

The dazzling light made Vicos can't help but stretch out his arms to block his eyes, avoiding the rays of the light.

"Kara. The sound of Kela......" came to Vikos's ears, and the appearance of this sound was matched by a fading light, and Vikos slowly lowered his arm to look at the place where the sound came from.

"A total of twelve, twelve different treasure chests. Kayla Barjulian crossed her hands. Holding his delicate chin, he said to Vicos.

Yes. It was indeed twelve gold chests of the same size, neatly placed in front of Vikos. None of the twelve chests had chains that could lock their treasures, only the lids of the chests that seemed to open and close.

Each chest is half a meter high and one meter long. It is carved with all sorts of different things, each with a deep meaning that is difficult to understand. Without sufficient knowledge, it is impossible to understand the meaning of the carvings above.

The first chest is carved with three tangent and intersecting circles, the second is carved with a crown topped by a cross radiating phantom light, the third chest is carved with seven gold stars and seven lampstands, the fourth chest is carved with a military horse wearing a crown ready to go into battle, the fifth chest is printed with a kind old man with a halo on his head bending down and hugging a human kneeling in front of him, and behind him an angel is half-kneeling on the ground with a cross on his back, and the sixth chest shows a man in a robe with an apricot halo on his head coming to the earth and walking on the earth。

"It's really religious. "Vicos, unlike his contemporaries, always treated religion with a cold attitude, whether it was a priest or a holy canon, he always had an attitude of dispensable disregard. He didn't like the kind of life of a believer, and he didn't like to put his trust in an ethereal God.

"Of course. Kayla Barrulian raised an eyebrow as if defiantly, "But do you understand? ”

"The tangent trinity of the three circles, the illusory apparition, the revelation symbolized by the seven lampstands and the seven gold stars. The fourth, if correct, would have been Abaddon, the demon who made humanity suffer even more at the Last Judgment. The fifth is salvation. And the sixth is the Son of God. The symbolism of these patterns was no challenge for Vicos, and it was a bit too simple for the knowledge he had in his head.

"Oh, that's good...... And then, what about the next six?" and seeing Vikos say the answer correctly without hindrance, Kayla Barjulian narrowed her pretty eyes with some pleasure.

On the seventh chest, a group of horses are running on the grassland, and on the eighth chest, there is a warrior kneeling on the ground. Holding a blood-dripping sword in his hand, the ninth depicts a fierce battle scene, the tenth depicts various natural disasters such as earthquakes, lightning, floods, and flames, the eleventh depicts all sorts of ingenious devices, and the twelfth depicts a man in a splendid costume whose face cannot be seen reaches out and holds up a key.

"What is it? I'm looking forward to your answer. Clever Vikos. Kayla Barjulian looked at Vicos with a curious look, hoping to get a satisfactory answer from him.

The corners of Vicos' mouth rose slightly. "Is there anything worth saying about me? Aren't these six chests obviously about combat, wisdom, and skill?"

Kayla Barjulian was slightly shocked in her heart, although the pictures on the twelve treasure chests were not such a puzzling puzzle, but she was still slightly surprised by Vikos to solve them so easily.

"It's really worthy of being the messenger I chose, and now I'm even more curious...... You. Kayla Barjulian stood up and pointed her green jade fingers into Vikos' eyes, "What kind of legend can be created?"

Vicos had a slap in his mind, and the beautiful girl on the other side seemed to understand something, to know some secrets about herself that she didn't even know.

Vikos ran his fingers through his hair, wondering how he could get information from Kayla Barjulian, the mysterious girl.

The long-haired girl in front of the throne. Her black hair reached her waist, black as deep as night. Her beautiful lips were lightly opened, and the corners of her lips were slightly smiling, and it seemed that people couldn't help but revel in her beauty. "Don't think about those bad thoughts, I know what you think. ”

Vicos pinched her hair as she said it, pausing to discern whether what Kayla Barjulian said was true or false.

"Don't worry, I'm not lying to you, your mind can't hide from my eyes. Kayla Barjulian blinked her beautiful, yellow shining eyes. "If you're trying to get some information about you from me, then all I can say is sorry, I won't tell you so lightly. ”

Kayla Barrulian sat down on the purple throne again, her jade hand resting lightly on the armrest. With a smile, he looked at Vicos who was twitching at the corners of his mouth below.

Vicos broke out in a cold sweat in his heart, he didn't believe that there really was a being in this world who could read other people's minds. If there really is, then that existence must be God.

"Yes, I am God. I am a greater being than God. After hearing what Vicos was thinking. Kayla Barjulian slammed up from her throne again, and opened her arms to speak in a high-pitched voice.

"Uh......" Vicos didn't know what words to put to describe the scene in front of him. A tall black-haired woman with a height of about 1.70 meters is full of charm, with an expression like a heroic king on her beautiful face, who spreads her arms and speaks blasphemous words in a heavenly voice. This qiē looks so funny, so disobedient.

"This is not arrogance! This is self-confidence, but I don't think you, a mortal, will understand it now. Kayla Barjulian looked at Vikos with disdain, as if she were looking at an ant. "But I will give you the strength to become like a god, and let you create the kingdom of God. ”

The whole hall reverberated with the arrogant words of Kayla Barjurian, the words of a creature who tried to be on par with God.

"Choose, these twelve treasure chests, each of which will grant you infinite power!" Kayla Barjulian's voice was filled with the magic of infinite temptation, like a beautiful music that can be intoxicated, "but you can only open one treasure chest, do you choose the power that rivals God, or the great wisdom beyond God, or something else that is obsessive?"

As Kaila Barrulian's voice fell, the twelve chests all emitted a strange brilliance, shining a deep light, and people couldn't help but open them to see what kind of precious treasures were hidden under the lids.

Vicos slowly walked to the chest, and as he walked towards the twelve chests, he suddenly stood in place, looking up at the tall black-haired girl on the throne.

"Before that, you should tell me what happened from the beginning to the present?" Vicos frowned. looked at Kayla Barjulian.

Kayla Barrulian seemed a little unhappy with Vicos' question, as she didn't give Vikos the authority to ask questions.

"Shall I give you the right to ask questions, Vicos!" said the maiden on the throne in a voice of unmistakable majesty.

"Only. If you're done choosing, I'll give you the right to ask questions. As for now. You'd better choose your treasure chest. Kayla Barjulian commanded Vikos as he stood.

Like the current Vikos, he is really helpless, and he is completely helpless against the girl with a strange temperament on the throne. Make the other side obedient in terms of force?...... Although Vikos received lessons about combat from an early age, Vikos dismissed the idea after seeing the magical powers of Kayla Barjulian. Besides, such a thing as a shot on a woman is not something that Vikos, the self-proclaimed gentleman of Heisei did.

And then, to convince the other party with words, this is even more nonsense, and the throne girl does not give him the right to speak at all. Not to mention let him use words to persuade the other party.

Vikos couldn't even slander the other party in his heart, because this girl, Kayla Barjulian on the throne, was a mind-reader, and she was afraid that she would be aware of the thought she had just had in her heart.

It is often said that "the one who has no way back is the calmest", and Vicos is now in such a situation, since there is nothing to do but choose a treasure chest, what should be done now is to choose a treasure chest that can create the best interests for himself.

Which one to choose? Vikos, who didn't think about anything else, calmed down now. Scanning the surrounding chests.

Each chest seems to have good abilities, but each one seems to be too illusory to guess what's inside just by the patterns engraved on the chest.

Except for a few chests with explicit directions, such as the ninth chest, it is clearly about elemental mastery. The seventh is about the skill of fighting. But for the rest, it's hard to figure out what that means.

What should I choose?" Vicos thought softly as he ran his fingers through his hair.

Looking at Vikos in deep thought. The corners of Kayla Barjulian's mouth suddenly arced, and she reached out to summon an hourglass.

"If you can't pick a chest before the hourglass runs out...... But it's not good. Kayla Barjulian said in a playful tone.

"What happens if you can't?" said the maiden on the throne. Vikos seemed to see demonic tails and wings grow behind her.

A long sword with a hollowed-out scabbard suddenly appeared in Kayla Barrulian's hand, "If you can't." Hehe......" Kayla Barrulian playfully spat out her pink tongue and tilted her head. (The first, second, third, fifth, and sixth are all beliefs related to the Holy Religious Order, namely the Trinity, the Apparition, the Revelation, the Salvation, and the Son.) Vicos pinched his hair and thought to himself, (These four can basically give up, it's too ethereal.) ）

Vikos went to the other chests and carefully studied the patterns on them, (Fourth, seventh, and eighth are all creatures, do you use creatures to symbolize anything?) Abaddon the Judge, the galloping horse, and the bloody warrior with the sword. What do these three things have special meanings?

After abandoning his research on the three chests, he paced to the other chests (nine, ten, eleven...... Do you use different scenes to depict the secrets, and do you make people think hard about the mysteries in them?)

Looking at Vikos who was thinking hard under the throne, Kayla Barjulian smiled slyly, because what she loved most was to see others in trouble. Isn't it true that other people's pain is their own happiness?

"Hey, Vicos, have you figured it out, which chest to choose. The girl stretched out her finger and pointed to the funnel floating beside her, and then waved the sword in her right hand as if demonstratively, "The hourglass is about to leak, haven't you chosen it yet?"

Vicos didn't look up to see Kayla Barrulian's movements, but silently lowered his head and thought about his choice. Because he knew that Kaila Barrulian was only doing this to make him more anxious and flustered.

"Cut, it's boring. Seeing that Vikos was still concentrating on picking out the treasure chest, Kayla Barrulian pursed the corners of her lips, very dissatisfied with her failure to attract Vikos's attention, "Kind reminder. This hourglass is already a third of the way through. ”

Vicos still didn't look up, because the answer was almost out in his mind. It's just that I'm still hovering between a few treasure chests in my heart.

"Let me give you one more hint. Chests from one to six are about faith abilities and are not needed for you right now. The rest are about combat skills and some special abilities. Well...... Okay, that's all I have to say, it's up to you. Kayla Barjulian continued to distract Vikos, these things had already been thought up in Vikos's mind, and Kayla Barjulian said it again only to distract Vikos.

It's a pity that she failed again, and Vicos's heart is not something she can say a few words about.

"Ah~ boring. Seeing that her approach was completely ineffective, Kayla Barjulian couldn't help but feel bored for a while, and reached out to cover her beautiful mouth and yawned. It's just a small act of yawning. With her incomparable appearance, it still makes people feel a lazy and beautiful breath rushing to their faces, and people can't help but feel sorry for her lazy demeanor.

"Yo, there's still a third of the hourglass left. Kayla Barjulian tilted her head to look at the hourglass beside her, and said to Vikos with a smile.

The sand in the "salsa" hourglass is flowing down the gap little by little, just like a time that will never return, but people can't help but sigh at its ruthlessness and indifference.

After all, how many times have we never known how to cherish that period of time that seemed dull at the time, but now it is. When you look back on the past again, you can't help but cry. There is no way to return to what is gone, and no matter how much you regret it at the moment, there is no way to change it.

"Sasha. The hourglass is slowly moving its own tracks, imprinting its own salsa sound in time. It reminds the world of the flow of precious things called time.

"Haven't you picked it yet?" Looking at the hourglass that was about to leak, Kayla Barjulian slowly pulled her sword out of its scabbard, and looked at Vikos's whole body with unbridled eyes. As if thinking about where to stab this sword, "I've already chosen." Pick the best parts. ”

"It's a pity you're disappointed. Vicos smiled. "I choose ......"

He walked slowly to the chosen chest, to the twelfth chest engraved with the key.

"It!" Vicos reached out and patted the lid of the chest.

As Vicos' palm lined up on the chest, a mysterious purple shot out of the pattern. As the light grew brighter and brighter, the lid of the treasure chest slowly opened a gap, and a white mist of light radiated out of it.

But Vikos did not let the dazzling light obscure his vision, but opened his eyes and carefully looked at the opening of the chest, looking at what kind of treasures and what kind of secrets were in the box. At the same time, it is also to see if the choice he has made is wrong, but he trusts his judgment very much.

"Bang!" a white magic array with twelve edges and corners suddenly appeared in the sky above the treasure chest, and the dark white pattern was as flawless as pure milk.

The magic circle is a circular magic circle with a radius of about one meter in a circular shape as a whole. Inside the white ring is a star-like pattern with twelve angular corners, symbolizing that this is the twelfth treasure chest. Inside the stars is a large key-like pattern, like the key held by a richly dressed man on the twelfth chest.

"Well done, I actually chose the [King's Vault]. Seeing the treasure chest that Vikos had chosen, Kayla Barjulian narrowed her seductive eyes slightly.

"The King's Vault. Vikos muttered softly, but he wasn't in the mood to think about the name of the key at the moment, for him, paying attention to the magic array was the main thing.

A huge pillar of light rose from the very center of the magic array, and there seemed to be a faint object in the scorching light, which should be the [King's Vault].

Slowly, the pillar of light dimmed, and the magic array began to dissipate gradually. And the objects in the pillar of light began to become clearer little by little.

"The Mystery of Kings. Vicos muttered softly, he was very curious about this mysterious treasure.

The marble floors and walls of the temple, reflecting the figures of Vicos and the throne, were already the common focus of their eyes, a fading pillar of light, what was in the pillar of light, and what kind of magical power did this treasure have?

"It's coming. Looking at the gradually clear object, Kayla Barjulian frowned slightly and said in a solemn tone.

"Here we are......" Vicos swallowed softly as the air in his mouth slid down the tip of his pen.

As if in response to the expectations of the two of them, a voice came from the pillar of light, "Call me, I agree to your summoning ......" (to be continued......
