"Hmm? I'm...."
Veronica opened her eyes and felt that her consciousness was still in some vague state, then she realized something was pressing on her arm.
When she lowered her head, she found that she was lying on Soshiyang and was asleep!
"How could it be-"
She looked around and was still on the boat, but the flute player and boatman disappeared, and the boat was wandering quietly on a strange water.
Veronica carefully recalled her recent memories. One of them rowed and the other played the flute, and she didn't say a word, which made her not have the opportunity to ask her questions, and then she fell asleep in a daze-
Confused, she raised her head and found that the sun in the sky had also disappeared, replaced by nine crescent moons, with starlight sprinkling on the water surface, as if countless tiny flying insects were swimming.
Veronica looked around in a daze. She wanted to determine where she was, but in vain.
Then she checked Soshiyang's condition, which was similar to before, and although it did not continue to deteriorate, she was still in a coma.
Veronica still remembers that Soshyan told her before that there was a primordial body in the empire who was also injured by his own fallen brother. She was cursed and unconscious. She could only be placed in the static force field by her offspring and strictly protected. Therefore, she became the only primordial body in the empire that was "living" and had a certain whereabouts.
He is the primordial of the Thirteenth Legion, the lord of Markulag, Robert Kiliman.
It can be seen that even these existences, which are known as the strongest force of human beings, are not completely indestructible, let alone Suoshiyang is not a primordial body.
"The two people have left, and they don't seem to be planning to follow the end."
A subtle voice suddenly sounded beside Veronica, which immediately alerted her.
"Who? Who is talking?"
"I, the great king of hosts! Amnak of gold!"
“Amnark?”
Veronica hesitated for a moment and immediately remembered the origin of the name.
"The chief of Slaanes!"
"I am the King of Hosts! Not a chief! Now I am a free existence!"
"Um?"
Veronica frowned, but did not notice anything around her, nor did she have the aura of a demon, but the other party was actually talking to her, and it didn't look like her auditory hallucinations.
Suddenly, she noticed the golden ring on Soshiyang's hand. If she remembered correctly, Soshiyang seemed to have no such ring before.
So she tentatively reached out her hand and poked the ring.
"It's you?"
"Hmph! Damn Ada, he actually touched my noble body! If it were the past-"
"If you talk nonsense, I will throw you into the water!"
As soon as Veronica said this, the other party's shouting suddenly lowered.
"How could a Slaane demon be in Soshiyang's ring, and not have a little demonic breath... How did you meet Soshiyang?"
"There is no obligation to tell you, let your lover tell you himself."
Amnak, who had never been angry with Ada, replied angrily. Veronica didn't say much, stretched out her hand and wanted to take the ring off Soshyan's hand.
"Then you go into the water and stay."
"Oh, no, no—"
"Speak quickly before I run out of patience."
In desperation, Amnak had to tell the story of his encounter with Soshyan, including being hunted by the Slaane Demon.
After hearing this, Veronica nodded thoughtfully.
"So that's it, you're actually related to gray..."
Then she changed her mind.
"Do you know what the two of you are?"
"this--"
"Don't hesitate!"
"It's not that I won't say it! It's that person who appears, my senses are blocked. However, I heard the conversation between Soshiyan and Talos before. They seemed to have encountered that existence on the way to Comoros through the Internet. Its name should be called the Descendant, maybe... I guess, it may be related to the Lord of Humanity."
"Do you know where this is?"
"I don't know either, but it feels...it seems like it's an enclosed space."
“Confined space?”
Veronica looked around, except for the calm water surface, there was no fog, and there was no boundary at all.
“It doesn’t look like it.”
Not long after he finished speaking, Veronica discovered that the boat had slowly landed.
At first glance, there are large forests on the lakeshore, and some trees simply grow by the lake, with roots deeply rooted in the water.
Veronica thought for a moment and decided to go ashore to take a look, but she was worried about leaving Soshiyan alone on the boat, and then her eyes turned to the trees.
She summoned Avalon's Heart and recited the spells that appeared in her mind not long ago. As a green light poured into a tree, the lake began to ripple.
The water plants by the lake whirl gently in the night wind, and the sound was like a whisper.
Soon, the tree moved, and a face made of twisted bark appeared in the center of the trunk, constantly changing, and the hands were rough claws of broken wood. The vines fluttered in the wind like long hair, with plump berries and sharp leaves on it.
As the tree man raised his legs and advanced, the entire lake was filled with slight waves.
It came to the boat, stretched out its arms to embrace Soshiyang, and many tender branches stretched out at the same time, turning its hands into a soft hammock.
Veronica then walked out of the boat, and the crystal shoes walked towards the land on the water surface. The tree man followed her silently, while the boat she had been riding before dispersed into clouds.
Not long after she left, she saw the remains of a stone arch, made of moss-filled rocks, seemingly dedicated to some forgotten gods, or something else.
But now everything has disappeared, and the fragmented arches and flat stones under your feet have become proof of its existence.
Continue walking in, a tall circular stone tower stands, as if it is about to reach the stars in the night sky.
“Where is this time…”
Veronica walked to a broken stone tablet and waved her hand to wipe off the attachments on it, but only saw a unique symbol composed of circles and squares.
At first she did not recognize these symbols, but soon she recalled that she had seen rubbings of such symbols in the ancient library of the Ark, representing an ancient and mysterious group.
"Ancient Saint!?"
Realizing that this is probably the remains of the ancient saint, Veronica began to climb up the winding rough stone steps, at which time she seemed attracted by something indescribable.
A summoning? An impulse?
She couldn't explain, she only knew that there was something or something waiting for her.
Soon she arrived at the entrance of the stone tower, but was blocked by a door.
She tried to push with the power of her arm, and the bluestone giant door remained motionless, and even the spiritual energy was useless.
So Veronica turned to the side and saw a disc composed of ten rings of different sizes, engraved with incomprehensible symbols and a polygonal groove in the middle.
Veronica knew that this was the mechanism to open the door, but she had no idea because she had only seen the symbol of the ancient saint and did not understand it.
"Hey, there is something on Soshyang, it seems to be given by that Kane incarnation, look."
Amnak's words reminded Veronica, and she quickly groped on Soshyan and soon found the polygonal stone in her belt.
Looking at the symbols on the disc, she compared the disc on the wall, immediately placed the stone in the disc, and then turned the disc to the correct position.
