On top of the holy tomb, Fanny stood on the altar, clasping her small hands in front of her lowered forehead, praying devoutly. In front of her, the top of the golden needle on the stone dial shone with brilliance, like a star far away in the sky, but

The extremely bright light of the stars contains the powerful power to penetrate the darkness.

The moonlight poured down like water. Everyone around the altar watched the boulder in front of them slowly turning under the baptism of the moonlight. Suddenly, a strange feeling surged in their hearts, as if the light of the crescent moon seemed much stronger at this time.

And he is focusing on the stone mausoleum under his feet.

Watching the Holy Grail start to move, Lucia had a slight smile on her lips, and there was a hint of excitement in her calm eyes: "The Holy Grail finally started to move again. How many sleepless nights have I waited for this day?"

.”

As the Holy Grail slowly rotated, just as Lucia said, except for the pattern representing the wings, which did not respond, the other three totems on the body of the Holy Grail began to show a mixture of red and golden colors, red like the flames in the furnace.

, golden like the scorching afternoon sun, each with distinct colors, but coexisting with each other. A blazing heat slowly gushes out of the Holy Grail, glowing with a silvery color under the condensation of the moonlight, like a layer of vague mist

, along the vicissitudes of the stone mausoleum's surface, slowly enveloped everyone in its arms.

Vincent felt his palms wet, as if Pompeii suddenly changed from midwinter to midsummer. He turned to look at Fanny praying on the altar, with a worried look in his eyes. Nanding understood what he meant and smiled: "

Mr. Vincent, you don’t have to worry. This stone platform is made of royal Qingbo stone. It will maintain a relatively constant temperature and will not be greatly affected by the surrounding environment. Saint Fanny will not have any problems when she stands on the platform.

What's so dangerous?" After a pause, she immediately raised her voice and said, "Everyone, if you feel it's too hot, you can come closer and stand on the edge of the altar, it will be much cooler."

Cheney wiped the sweat from his forehead and was secretly shocked: "This Holy Grail has just begun to operate, and its heat has already increased so much. If it were in its previous heyday, the temperature would definitely be even higher." He said

He raised his head and looked up, thinking: "I am already feeling very hot just standing next to the Holy Grail. I wonder if Young Master Xiaote above can bear it?"

Fanny put down her hands and turned to look at Lucia: "Priest Lucia, I have finished reciting the preface spell. Do you think I did it right?"

"You did very well." Lucia nodded and smiled.

Fanny said: "Then what should we do next?"

Lucia smiled slightly: "What's next? The next thing we have to do is wait."

"Wait?" Fanny's bright eyes flashed with confusion: "What about Uncle Wei En?"

At this moment, Cheney came to the bottom of the altar, raised his head and said: "Priest Lucia, the Holy Grail is so hot, the people above may not be able to survive it. By then, the people will be burned before they can be cured."

Lucia glanced at Cheney and said calmly: "Then it depends on God's arrangement."

Cheney was furious: "What do you mean by that?"

"I've told you before that there will be certain risks in doing this, have you forgotten?"

"Is this a certain risk? This is certain death. Lucia, what are your intentions in doing this?" Cheney clenched his fists, and the flames of anger burst out in his eyes.

"Cheney, wait a minute! Look!" Vincent suddenly pulled him and raised his hand to point to the Holy Grail. Cheney and Lucia looked at Vincent's raised arm, with expressions on their faces.

Startled, Lucia immediately showed an expression of disbelief.

At this time, the Holy Grail has become hazy in the mist, like a fairy peak deep in the sea of ​​clouds. On the top of the peak, in the white air mass, a cluster of sky-blue brilliance is faintly glowing, although it is difficult to see clearly.

, but Vincent, Lucia and others can still tell that the core of the brilliance package is two intertwined human bodies; they embrace each other so tightly, there is no gap at all, from spirit to body.

They all fit together perfectly.

Lucia was shocked and doubtful. She could hardly believe that besides the elites of the royal family, there were actually human beings who could withstand this moxibustion heat and suffering. As the Holy Grail mist continued to extend, the blue brilliance also disappeared.

The place becomes brighter, like the blue core on a candle. Although it only accounts for a small proportion of the flame, it is so pure that it does not contain a trace of impurities. It is crystal clear and eye-catching.

Everyone looked at the wonderful changes in the Holy Grail and held their breath in surprise. No one knew what would happen next. Fanny had a trace of joy on her face and said to Lucia: "Lucia sacrifice, isn't it?

Can the Holy Grail automatically heal injured people without me casting a spell?"

Lucia stared at the Holy Grail blankly and did not answer. She knew very well in her heart that this would never happen.

As time passed, the blue light became brighter and brighter, and it seemed to have reached a certain limit. The light magically condensed into a tangible substance, slowly overflowed, covered the surface of the top of the cup, and flowed down along the edge of the Holy Grail.

Not long after, the brilliant light touched the pattern of the Holy Grail. Just when the dark picture of wings turned to everyone, the blue light had already soaked in the deep lines under the stone carving, coating the soaring wings of this sketch with a layer of light.

The color of blue sky.

The picture of the wings shone with a bright light. Although it was not the light of flames, it was more beautiful and vivid than the other three pictures. The spirit of spreading its wings and flying was ready to be seen.

Lucia was completely stunned. The incredible scene in front of her suddenly reminded her of Vivien Leigh's words back then: "If we want to recreate the glory of the miracle, we can't rely on ourselves alone. We also need other people."

strength."

Could this be the power of human prophets?!

In the blink of an eye, the four totems seemed to come alive. With the rotation of the Holy Grail, they left ancient marks of life in the white mist. After a moment, the four golden, red and sky-blue marks overlapped and came to life.

A three-color divine bird that no one had ever seen appeared, with a long colorful tail and a gorgeous crown. As soon as the divine bird was formed, it waved its beautiful wings and danced around the Holy Grail for three weeks, and then

A soft cry, in the invisible flames of the Holy Grail, straight up, reborn from the fire!

The divine bird rushed to the sky and plunged into the deepest part of the sky without hesitation. Immediately afterwards, a thunder sounded, the earth trembled, the sea of ​​clouds changed color, and a gap suddenly opened in the iron curtain-like night sky, and golden sunlight penetrated.

After passing through layers of barriers, it spilled down...

Witnessing this earth-shattering change, all the royal family members on the stone mausoleum knelt down, with expressions of admiration and shock mixed with ecstasy on their faces. Lanning and Nanding kept praying, while Sander grinned.

, that big mouth could almost swallow the entire Holy Grail. Cheney and Vincent breathed a sigh of relief, even the sun came out, and there would be no problem with the safety of Wei En and Short.

Lucia also knelt down, kneeling behind Fanny. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she kowtowed and said tremblingly: "Lovelis, you finally appeared. When your descendants were in the most danger, you didn't

Abandon us."

Fanny turned back and looked at Lucia's already slightly stooped back, her eyes shining with sympathy. In any case, Lucia's hard work for so many years has not been in vain. There seems to be a glimmer of light in the dying ancient city of Pompeii.

.

Wei En held Xiao Te in his arms and sat on the Holy Grail. He raised his head and stared blankly at the sky. The golden bird had disappeared, and a faint ray of sunlight showed through the cracks in the sky, filling both of them with hope.

"What kind of bird was that just now?" Xiao Te's voice sounded slowly.

Wei En was startled, and quickly looked down, only to see that Xiao Te had woken up, his face was still as pale as a pear blossom in the morning, and his pale eyebrows were slightly raised, alluring and loving. Suddenly, Wei En was surprised to find that Xiao Te had been

The faint black energy lingering between Xiao Te's eyebrows has disappeared. Could it be that the flame of life of the Holy Grail really cured Xiao Te's madness?

A smile appeared in Xiao Te's eyes: "I'm asking you, what are you looking at?"

Wei En said "Oh" and said subconsciously: "I think that's a phoenix."

"Phoenix?"

"Um."

Hearing this unfamiliar term, Xiaote showed a puzzled look on her face. She turned her eyes and suddenly exclaimed: "Why am I like this? Where are my clothes?" Looking at Wei En, her face was full of confusion.

Picked up two balls of pink: "Why are you like this? It's so embarrassing."

Wei En laughed, feeling a long-lost joy in her heart: a patient who had been critically ill and unconscious for a long time suddenly became shy, which at least showed that her spirit was showing signs of recovery.

Xiaote folded her arms in front of her chest, squeezed a pair of slender white legs tightly, and squeezed her body into Wei En's arms. When she heard Wei En's happy laughter, her eyes showed anger: "Wei En,

Why are you acting up again?!"

Wei En's smile turned into a bitter smile: "What nonsense? Ms. Xiao Na, the temperature was so high just now that the clothes had already turned into steam. I didn't let the two of us turn into dried sweet potatoes in an instant. It was already very difficult."

Xiao Te bit her lower lip gently with her teeth, as if she had some vague memories of the scene just now: "Ah? Was it so hot just now? I felt a little comfortable in a daze." After thinking about it, she continued to ask.

: "Wei'en, what did you do to keep us both alive?"

"Speaking of which, I still have to ask for your blessing." Wei En looked at Xiao Te and said.

Xiao Te frowned slightly: "Don't lower your head to talk, raise your head and look straight."

Wei En was startled, and quickly raised his head, looking into the distance with a serious expression. Xiao Te looked at the expression on his face, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, and said with a smile: "Good boy, keep talking."

"Because before I carried you here, I cast the Ice Heart Curse on you in the shortest possible time, so we were able to escape the disaster just now." At this point, Wei En thought of the danger just now, and lingering fear passed through his heart.

"No wonder you personally carried me here. Ice Heart Curse?" Xiao Te frowned: "Is it a curse?"

"Yes." Wei En nodded: "The Ice Heart Curse is an advanced protective curse. Its catalyst is changes in the environment and temperature. Once there are rapid and drastic changes in the surroundings and life-threatening dangers appear, the body will be in a state of death.

, only consciousness still remains in the curling stone built by the void of the soul. When the crisis passes, it will find opportunities to slowly recover."

Xiao Te said: "Even the common clothes have been evaporated. Even if the body is suspended animation, it can't retain water. What's more, the crisis has just passed, how can we wake up?"

Wei En was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head subconsciously and said, "Your consciousness and thinking are very clear."

Xiao Te was anxious: "Don't lower your head!" Wei En quickly raised his head again.

"Go on, why did you say it was thanks to me just now?" Xiao Te asked softly.

"Because the Ice Heart Curse has another use. If it is used between two lovers, it can combine the resonance between the two lovers to form a powerful protective light, and the other person's body will no longer be in a state of suspended animation.

It has become an actual curling stone guarding one's own consciousness. The deeper the feelings in the heart, the stronger the awareness of trusting and cherishing the other party, the stronger the energy of the guardian light, and the spiritual communication between each other can ensure the clarity of consciousness, and the crisis will be over soon.

Recover quickly."

"I see." Xiao Te smiled and said, "Then if a couple uses this ice heart spell, wouldn't they be invincible in the world?"

"It's easier said than done. Even between husband and wife, how many people can live and die together and are willing to give their lives for their partner? What's more, people who can cast high-level curses like the Ice Heart Curse often lose their lives because of

With too many choices, I become lonely." Wei En sighed: "That's why I said that I have been influenced by you and have the power of curse, but it may not bring true happiness in life. Your existence is the only

It makes me no longer afraid of the responsibilities and pressure on me, and I have the motivation to keep going." When Wei En said this, he did not lower his head. His eyes penetrated the distant mountains and sea of ​​clouds, staring at the unknown future.

What came out was determination and fearlessness. Xiao Te restrained his smile, and his cheeks showed a hint of red again, but this time, what was conveyed in his eyes was no longer shame, but joy and pride.

The two fell silent. Although the rumors were still there, many things had changed. After this time of living and dying together, each other's intentions were fully understood, and no more words were needed.

At this time, the sound of waving wings sounded in the air, and Wei En turned around to see Lan Ning, a female madman, flying onto the Holy Grail, holding two square boxes in her hands.

Xiao Te was shocked, thinking of the way his love was leaking out. Although he knew it was not Wei En's fault, he still couldn't help but give his waist a slight twist.

Wei En grinned and said with a wry smile: "Ms. Lan Ning, are you here?"

Lan Ning said nothing, walked not far in front of Wei En with her eyes closed, and suddenly knelt down.

Wei En was startled, but it was inconvenient to get up and help him, so he had to say: "Lan Ning, what are you doing?"

"You have finished bathing in the fire. Please change into the clothes in the box."

"Oh." Wei Enqi said: "You can just close your eyes when changing clothes, why do you have to kneel down? Get up quickly, I can't stand this."

"This kneeling is done voluntarily by Lan Ning. Thanks to the prophet for bringing light to the Holy City again." At this point, Lan Ning kowtowed.
