When the sound of footsteps came along with the night wind, Downton immediately straightened up and glanced over with sharp eyes.
"Big brother, it's me!"
Hu Tao was too short. When running in the wheat field, he could only see a little bit of his forehead, and most of his body was submerged.
"puff!"
Downton couldn't help laughing as he looked at the wheat that was pouring down like waves.
"It's been several years and the walnuts still haven't grown at all!"
The Cheap God complained that it wanted to find out the origin of the little Lolita, but was severely prohibited by Downton and Homer.
Like a puppy, Hutao jumped out of the wheat field and swooped down on Downton, who had taken a few steps forward.
"Big brother, I found you!"
Hu Tao smiled happily, lowered her head and kissed him on the face.
Snapped!
Downton slapped Hu Tao on the butt and warned her, "If you act without permission in the future, I will lock you in a dark room!"
"I know I was wrong!"
Hutao lowered his head, not daring to quibble.
"What's wrong? Ah, Hu Tao is back?"
Xia Luo opened her sleepy eyes.
"It's okay, just go back to sleep!"
Downton comforted Charlotte, and then found Juliet quietly appearing next to the wooden house, the bonfire shining on her cheek, and the weather was uncertain.
"You're not hurt?"
Downton didn't think much about it. He always trusted his friends.
Juliet shook her head, but she felt even sadder in her heart. Why didn't such a gentle man belong to her? Didn't Charlotte know him a few years earlier than she did?
"Everyone, go to bed early and set off tomorrow to find Elaine."
Downton was not in a hurry to ask what happened to the two girls during their separation, because tomorrow was a bit late, and with the return of Hu Tao, the worry in his heart began to take over.
The morning sun rises. The golden sunshine shines everywhere.
"Are you leaving?"
Xia Luo is a little disappointed. With her lazy personality, she likes this kind of leisurely life. If possible, she hopes that this kind of life will continue.
"Well, sorry!"
Downton is preparing to demolish the wooden house. This is one of his happiest memories.
"No, just let it stay here!" Charlotte stopped, then took out an amulet sewn with moon pattern cloth from her pocket and handed it to Downton, "This is for you!"
"What's in it?"
Downton took it and fumbled it carefully. Through his skin, a warmth penetrated his soul, and a natural fresh breath escaped. It felt like he was in the forest after the rain.
"A handful of mature wheat has been blessed by me. With it, it will bring you the harvest season and joy!"
Xia Luo secretly made this amulet, and every stitch and thread on it was her hard work.
"This is the most precious gift I have ever received in my life!"
Downton kissed the amulet, hung it around his neck, and kept it close to his body.
The happy Downton didn't know that this was also Charlotte's farewell gift to him. Once they left this wooden house, their relationship would end.
"I also want!"
Hutao pouted and acted coquettishly towards Xia Luo.
"there is none left!"
Xia Luo teases the little loli.
Juliet stood aside, watching all this with a smile, but her heart was bleeding.
After a while, Downton took the three girls on the road. Soon, the golden wheat fields disappeared from sight. They were replaced by vast ice fields.
Downton had already expected the magic of the secret realm of the Holy Mountain. He looked at Xia Luo, who shook her head.
Both of them left their soul marks in the wheat field, and now they can no longer sense them.
"What the hell kind of weather is this?"
Walnut hates cold the most.
The ice field was vast and vast. There was a snowstorm, and soon the entire field of vision was completely white. Even Hu Tao's short legs were completely buried in the snow. It took a lot of effort to take a single step.
“It’s so cold!”
With Downton's Vulcan body, he can feel the bone-chilling coldness. If an ordinary magician comes in without any means of keeping warm, he will definitely freeze to death.
Phew!
Suddenly there was an eagle cry from the sky. Downton looked up and saw a black eagle hidden in the wind and snow, with a pair of sharp eyes monitoring the earth.
"Watch me knock it off!"
Hutao rolled up his sleeves, grabbed an elemental dragon gun while running accelerating, and started shooting.
boom!
The dragon gun exploded, and the air waves sank, blowing away the surrounding snow.
With the huge power of the walnut, the dragon gun was simply more powerful than the ballista's shot. It stirred up the air currents, causing them to sway in all directions, then dispersed the clouds with a bang, and shot directly at the eagle.
boom!
The eagle had no time to react and was shot. There was no blood or falling feathers, only scattered elements.
On the ice field, there was an orc adventure group riding frost and snow beasts to search for the enemy. Suddenly, a guy suddenly spurted blood and knelt down.
"Found them!"
The orc wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and revealed a sinister smile.
"Hold on, be sure to determine their location."
After the leader finished giving his instructions, he asked his subordinates to send signals to other orc teams.
"kindness!"
The orc released the eagle again. It was his talent. If it was blown up, it would cause great damage to the body. However, in order to find the enemy, he risked his life.
"We must get the sacred object back!"
As the information spread, all the orcs in the secret realm began to gather in the direction of Downton one by one, full of fighting spirit, and surrounded and killed them.
Soon, an orc adventure group encountered Downton.
"found it!"
Without any greetings, the orcs drew their war blades and rode forward to charge.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The frost and snow beasts galloped, their huge hooves trampling the earth, like the roar of war drums, and splashing a lot of snowflakes.
"Hu Tao, protect Xia Luo!"
Downton gave the order, ran out wildly, grabbed a dragon spear with one hand, and threw it with all his strength.
"attack!"
Following the leader's order, everyone took out their repeating crossbows and pulled the triggers on Downton. More than two hundred fluorescently flashing magic crossbow arrows were fired at him.
Downton punched with a single punch, and dozens of magic fists roared down, intercepting the crossbow arrows.
"careful!"
After the leader shouted, his subordinates avoided him.
"At this speed, you still want to kill someone?"
An orc who had dodged the dragon spear was very proud of himself, but in the next step, a second shot came, piercing his chest and knocking him away.
"Don't be careless. That's Downton!"
After the leader reminded him, he saw that Downton had already taken off and leaped towards him.
"court death!"
The magician was in the air and could not dodge, so he was undoubtedly the best target. However, after the orcs focused their fire, they found that they could not penetrate his shield and injure him at all.
boom!
Downton endured the attack and fell, and his magic blades surged. He killed an orc with his mount on the spot.
The hot and humid blood spread and quickly melted the white snow.
"Get out, or I'll kill you without mercy!"
Downton said this just for Charlotte's sake, but the orcs didn't appreciate it at all.
"For the tribe!"
The orcs shouted and launched a suicidal attack. Even if they couldn't kill him, they would still wear him down and hurt him, so as to gain as much advantage as possible for the troops behind them.
Downton unleashed all his firepower and killed a mass of broken limbs. Although these orcs were elite, they were still killed instantly when they faced him.
…
"What is the sacred object you got?"
Downton exhaled. This was already the third wave of adventure groups. Although the other party could not cause any damage, the aura of looking back at death still frightened him.
"It is the Crown of Star Quietness, a crown that the King of Behemoths personally retrieved from the Kingdom of God. Owning it means becoming a saint of the temple."
Charlotte explained.
The Saint of the Beast Tribe is not a simple title, it represents real power and represents one-third of the power in the shaman temple.
The King of Behemoths has so much influence in the Orc Empire that until now, there are several tribes that only pay allegiance to the inheritors recognized by Asadin, regardless of who the king is.
The Saint represents fairness and justice, and is the spokesperson of the Beast God on the continent, so her selection also adheres to the principle of fairness.
As long as a girl with orc bloodline reaches the age of twelve, she can enter the secret realm of the Holy Mountain for trials. If she is recognized by the will of the Holy Mountain and obtains the Crown of Star Quietness, she will be the successor of the Saint.
If a contemporary saint's moral deficiencies reach a certain level, she will be deprived of the crown of Star Quiet and lose the power of the saint.
Wherever there are people, there will be competition for rights. Even in temples, there are factions. Although girls can enter the secret realm of the Holy Mountain as long as they are twelve years old, there are always various conflicts between the royal family and the temple.
Various methods were used to obstruct her, so the saint was alone from beginning to end, without any candidates or competition.
When the Holy Girl dies, each force will arrange for a girl of their choice to enter the secret realm of the Holy Mountain to compete for the Crown of Star Quietness.
Although the current saint is already two hundred and thirty years old, this age is still too young for a legendary powerhouse. However, no one expected that a few days ago, she was invited by His Majesty to predict this time.
The fate of the Orc Empire was accidentally counterattacked by the law of fate, causing him to vomit blood and be seriously injured on the spot.
The injury could be healed with just a few years of rest, but a sudden serious illness took away the saint's life.
With the death of the current Saint, the Crown of Star Jing returned to the secret realm of the Holy Mountain, only to be obtained by Xia Luo.
Not to mention that Xia Luo was a wild shaman with close ties to the human empire. Even if she wasn't, various factions would suppress her and take back the sacred object. After all, it was an important sacred object related to the power change of the orc empire.
"What magical powers does this crown have?"
Hu Tao took the crown of Xingjing that Xia Luo took out, and without thinking, she put it on her head.
"careful!"
Downton was shocked. This thing can be worn randomly?
"It doesn't matter!"
Charlotte told Downton not to worry, "Legend has it that it is a sacred object transformed from the goddess's book of wisdom. It allows the user to obtain the energy of predicting the fate of the holy word. It is called the eye of the wise that cannot be blinded. Wearing it
It can see through any lies and will not be deceived by anyone."
"Ah? Then if a fool like me gets her, won't I have to worry about being cheated?"
Hutao licked her lips, hugged the crown, and was reluctant to let go. She felt that this was a jewelry tailor-made for her.
"Stop making trouble, return it to Charlotte!" Downton glared at Little Walnut, "What are you going to do?"
Downton knows that Xian Lang is not a person who likes power. Let alone a saint, she will not sit in the positions of pope and king even if she is given the position of pope and king. There must be some reason why she has not returned the crown of star tranquility now. (To be continued.
