Chapter Ten Coming(1/4)
() As you have just seen, the two patron saints have been liberated from the covenant. The two long-lost powers here, the spirits of water and earth, will awaken. The two have been liberated, and the two will When we wake up again, this desert will become fertile land, and we will not suffer from lack of food and water. But of course this will not happen in an instant. It must take some time and everyone's efforts. No matter it is Are you needed for reclamation or digging a well?
Measure it!"
Unconsciously, clouds appeared in the originally clear sky.
"Those are cumulonimbus clouds. It looks like it will rain soon." Slein said, looking up at the thickening clouds.
At this moment, Lelia returned to Shlein and nodded towards him.
"What needs to be done is done..." Shilein said kindly, which also meant that she didn't need to say anything more.
Bill and others began to be immersed in a gentle atmosphere.
But King Kashu continued to speak.
"Our Guardian God of Wind ended its mission and turned into a whirlwind and left, and the King of Fire also relieved his mission as an attacker and returned to his own world. But as long as we encounter a crisis, They will definitely appear again to help us, so we must work together, otherwise we will definitely repeat the mistakes of this war."
Ka Xiu said while pointing to Zhu Rong who turned into a ball of fire.
Nadia dismounted her horse and slowly walked towards Ka Xiu, then knelt in front of him, took out the knife from her waist and stretched it towards him, then leaned forward and buried her forehead deeply in the sand.
This was a ceremony for the people of the desert to swear loyalty. At this time, Kaxiu also dismounted, knelt down, picked up her knife, and then returned the knife to her.
The loyalty ceremony ends here.
"Chief, please stand up. Don't you think that the best way for the two tribes is to establish a blood relationship between them?" Kaxiu said at a volume that only Nadia could hear.
After hearing Ka Xiu's unexpected request, Nadia couldn't help but blinked.
After a long time, she showed a lonely smile and whispered in a voice that only Ka Xiu could hear.
"I don't want to be so embarrassed anymore... The depth of the grudges between the two tribes is beyond your understanding. There must be many people who disapprove of our marriage, especially for the girls of the Wind Tribe? And if If you can distinguish between the winner and the loser, it will be easier for you to rule in the future. Marriage can only be blessed when both parties are equal. You seem to have forgotten this..."
"I will overcome this problem. For the future of the two tribes, I must ask you to help me."
"Okay, Mercenary King, stop talking." Nadia stopped Cardiff. "I know what you are thinking... If possible, I really hope that my position is different from now. In this case, I will just be a brave person." The king is obsessed with an ordinary girl..."
Nadia put the knife back to her waist, bowed her head deeply towards Ka Xiu, stood up and took a step back.
"Thank you very much for saying that, but I have already dedicated myself to the patron saint. If I break the oath, the patron saint will probably not protect us in the future?" Nadia said to Ka Xiu with a smile, and then replied He turned around and spoke loudly to his people.
"I will now go to the patron saint to pray for my dead companions, and pray that the people of Flame, no, the Kingdom of Frem can prosper forever in the future. This is based on my own will. Everyone must live, and don't let yourself My wife and children are worried, this is my last order as the leader of the clan, you must obey it."
Nadia's expression was too gentle, and no one could understand what her intentions were when she said these words.
Therefore, no one, not even Kaxiu, could stop her next move - in the next moment, she jumped into Zhu Rong, who had turned into a ball of fire.
"Clan leader~~!"
"Miss Nadia—!" Wails echoed from everywhere.
It wasn't just the people from the Flame Tribe who screamed, both the Wind Tribe and the mercenaries were greatly affected.
"Why bother..." Ka Xiu groaned softly.
But as a king, he can understand her mood. Her heart is so pure, maybe she is really only suitable to stay with God.
Deedrit turned her head and hugged Bill tightly, while Bill stared at Nadia who disappeared in the flames without saying a word.
Lelia sang Marfa's name and prayed that this unfortunate woman could find eternal rest.
Nadia, surrounded by flames, did not make a sound.
The fire suddenly grew bigger with rising white smoke.
But after a while, the flame became smaller again.
Card Xiu issued an order to withdraw his troops, and the remaining Fire Tribe soldiers also hoped to go with them. After Nadia's death, the new tribe representative promised to go with Card Xiu.
With tears in his eyes, the new patriarch vowed to be loyal to the mercenary king forever in order to live up to the will of the patriarch.
The Continental Army's original joy of victory was also swept away.
The march became extremely heavy.
The fire that engulfed Nadia was about to disappear.
The warriors in the desert advanced towards Brad without saying a word. Both the Flame-Sworn Tribe and the soldiers of Frem looked back at the flame from time to time. Although their respective positions and moods were different,
They will never forget this flame. Whenever they see it in the future, they will definitely recall that brave but unfortunate woman.
Bill kept staring at the flame until the end. Foss wanted to say something to him, but was stopped by Marsh. Then Foss nodded and walked with the giant man at the back of the army.
Slein and Lelia were also in front. Although they had already mounted their horses, they were still very concerned about the two people who stayed where they were.
Bill stood motionless in front of the flames as if frozen.
Deedlit walked to his side wordlessly.
Bill noticed it and said to her gently, "...let's go."
The two of them got on their horses and started chasing the people in front of them. Although the troops were already far away, they could still see Slein and the others looking back. They had been waiting for Bill at the same spot.
Of course Foss and Marsh were also there. Sitting in front of Slein and holding the reins was Lelia.
Bill began to ride forward with Deedlit.
However, at this moment, a red light appeared behind Bill and the others.
Bill and the others pulled the reins in surprise and turned back.
The flame that should have disappeared actually burned violently again.
The color of this flame is thicker and redder than Zhu Rong's flame. This red flame expands in a circle and becomes more and more dazzling.
Right in front of the two of them, the flame took on a new shape, and Deedrit immediately knew what it was.
"This is...Phoenix!"
"Phoenix?!" Bill said in surprise.
Under the two men's breathless gaze, a firebird with flame wings and its whole body burning with blue and white flames appeared.
Now Deedlit can completely recall the rumors about the Fire Elf that the elders told her back then.
The Phoenix is a legendary bird of fire that only appears once every five hundred years.
What the elders told Deedlit back then was that the Phoenix and Zhu Rong were both elves above the flames, but the power controlled by the Phoenix was: regeneration.
For the goblins who hate fire, this is a legend that is hard to believe and does not want to be believed. Therefore, Deedlit did not remember this rumor until the Phoenix appeared in front of her.
The legend seems to be related to a few sentences...
Zhu Rong has purified the evil power, and the Phoenix will regenerate the right power...
"...After destruction there will be rebirth." Deedlit kept repeating these words.
The phoenix has fully revealed its form. Its whole body is emitting dazzling light, surrounded by flames, and its green pupils are filled with incomparable kindness.
Bill couldn't help but feel that Nadia's eyes were exactly the same.
Finally, the phoenix flapped its wings and gradually flew towards the cloud-filled desert sky.
At this moment, the first drop of rain hit Bill's face.
The phoenix flying in the sky screamed loudly, leaving a long aftertaste.
The sound spread throughout the icy hills, and every creature that existed here heard the sound.
This voice tells everyone that the time for liberation has come.
This place has been liberated from ancient covenants and a hated past.
This temple is built on a steep mountainside.
The two stone buildings are surrounded by tall stone walls. They are built of white marble, reflecting each other's green mountains and brown earth.
Although it is not luxurious at all, it has its own special beauty. If you look closer, you will find that there are not many decorations or patterns on the walls and pillars. It can be said that the beauty of the stone itself is completely retained.
Now a person walked in from the temple gate facing the street on the south side.
He is a man dressed as a knight.
He was wearing black armor that was completely devoid of any decoration and was only for practicality. Since he was not wearing a helmet, you could clearly see his fair face and long black hair that was left behind.
At first glance, one would think it was just a wax figure, but his eyes full of strong willpower immediately broke this impression.
As soon as you enter the door, you will see a goddess with a smile on her face and open hands compassionately. She seems to always welcome believers to visit.
When the black knight saw this statue, a slightly sarcastic smile appeared on his lips.
This is the well-known statue of Marfa, the Mother Earth Goddess.
And here is the Marfa Temple located in Tabor Village. Although this place is located in a remote location, it is the largest Marfa Temple on Rhodes Island. The owner here is the highest priest Nisi, who is praised as one of the Six Heroes.
After passing through the gate, there is a clean path in front of you, leading directly to the chapel built on the front.
However, the Black Knight only glanced at the chapel, and then walked to another building.
This is the dormitory where the Marfa priests usually work and rest, and ordinary believers are prohibited from entering.
However, it seems that the Black Knight did not intend to go to the chapel from the beginning.
Then five people followed the black knight into the temple, and he should have brought these people.
To be continued...
