Galadia looked at the ceiling and counted silently. The crystals decorated on the roof were arranged in the shape of a starry sky, bright and soft... at least that's how it used to be.
I don't know if there is another problem with the supply of magic energy, or there is some malfunction in the crystal, but the starry sky on the roof is flashing rapidly, as if the universe has reached its end and the nebula will be annihilated.
"It's starting again, Miss Villanoy," Neferti, who was wearing a white evening gown, put down the comb in her hand, stroked her long silver hair, and sighed helplessly, "I have a bad one.
Premonition.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the starry crystals went out, and the gorgeous dressing room was completely dark. Only the faint green light cast by the window sill shone on the furniture and the floor, making people feel scared when they looked at it.
Galadia stood up, pulled up her thin blue skirt, tied the skirt decorated with intricate crystals and gold threads around her waist, and started tinkering in the jewelry box.
"What are you looking for?"
"arms."
Miss Elf took out a small silver table knife.
The blade forged from mithril is exquisite and slender, as pure as a deep blue lake. If you look at this small table knife, you will feel some indescribable holiness and sharpness.
Just by holding this small weapon in his hand, the daughter attending the dance turned into a keen ranger in the forest.
"How did you bring it in?" Neferti asked in a low voice, "Is this a sealed artifact?"
"Put it in the bread," Miss Ranger nodded proudly, "Put the bread in your mouth."
"Oh~" Miss Marquis of Odessa praised in a long tone, "Mr. Knight will definitely..."
Galadia waved the table knife. The azure blade flipped with the slender fingertips, drawing light marks in the darkness. The length of the table knife was only more than a palm, but in the hands of the ranger, it was as good as cutting gold or iron.
Sharp weapon.
"What will happen if you find out?" Galadia asked with a smile, the dagger at her fingertips made a whistling sound that ripped through the air, almost drowning out her voice, "You might as well speak more clearly."
"Best regards, Galadia!" Neferti quickly put on a smile on her face, "That's what Mr. Knight said."
The two talked for a while in the dark room, but the lighting was not restored, and the maid and the guard did not open the door and come in.
Since returning to Canaan, Galadia has been stabilizing her psychic abilities under the meticulous care of the officials. When her health is better, she needs to appear in the social world as the only radiant elf. Neferti was sent here
From then on, the two girls often spent time together.
They lived together in the Nebula Temple in Canaan.
"57,58,59..."
Galadia continued to count while chatting.
"Oops, I'm serious this time,
"Run!" The elf quickly took off his high heels and kicked the human girl's heels twice.
"We might not make it to the safe house!" Neferti shouted, "We didn't make it last time."
Before Neferti could finish her words, the elf had already pulled her up and ran out. Like a gust of wind, they passed through rooms and deserted corridors and headed towards the first floor.
This is the temple of Canaanite magic and knowledge, a treasure house that contains the highest level of sealed objects. However, there is not a single scholar, no guests, no guards or waiters here tonight.
The sound of footsteps echoed in the deep temple, and each beat was as heart-pounding as the sound.
Galadia heard illusory and noisy murmurs. There were no guests in the temple tonight, but under the pure white marble, some older and more mysterious beings were waking up.
"I've had enough!" The elegance and reserve of the aristocratic lady could no longer be seen on Neferti's face, only the trembling and exhaustion that were on the verge of reaching the limit. "What is tonight? Night talk? Riddles?"
"prom!"
Galadia suddenly stopped, her smart eyes scanning the wall beside her.
On the white wall of Phnom Penh, lines of blood seeped out. The writings lined up like ants, moving slowly, constantly changing the content:
"Noble descendants of God, noble clansmen, the Eclipse has been opened. Please follow the instructions and move around in the Nebula Temple. I wish you good luck.
"1. Every room in Nebula Temple is open.
"2. Sometimes the lighting in the temple will disappear and the moonlight will turn green. This is normal. To ensure your safety, please do not approach any creature whose face cannot be seen clearly. Please remain silent. Our security personnel will
Coming soon.
"3. There are no half-elves or humans among our security personnel. If you see them, please stay away from them.
"4. If you find a place where light mist overflows, please move along the light mist and go to the safe house.
"5. Tonight, you need a dance partner. When the music starts, please dance to the rhythm; if you don't have one, please find one as soon as possible.
"6. After the dance starts, there will be no situation where any compatriots will disturb you. If you really feel that there are eyes or hands that do not belong to you and your dance partner, please don't panic, don't stop dancing, leave the scene when the music ends, and go to
Safe house, or ask the nearest security personnel for help. They know what to do.
"7. Our waiters are only half-elves. If you meet them, you can take away their items, but do not talk to them or stay.
"8. There are no animals in the temple, absolutely not!
"9. If you see a group of non-elven guards, or a non-half-elven waiter, or a white kitten, please run to the safe house at any cost before everything gets worse. Do not
Ignore any voices that try to get you to stop.
"10. Please do not lock the door of the safe house or block it with other methods.
"11. If you have not arrived at the safe house, the moonlight has turned dark red and you will hear a ticking sound. Please ignore this sound and act as soon as possible. There is a bow and arrow in the storage box at the exit of the temple. The box is not locked. You can
Pray and shoot any creature that does not belong to [Elf] and [Familiar]. Even if you run out of arrows, don't show any timidity.
"12. They like your fear."
Neferti's face was as white as paper, and she struggled to escape: "It's useless! I'm not your tribe!"
"But you are a dependent," Galadia didn't let go of her and dragged her forward, "You can't do it without a dance partner."
The two girls were running barefoot in the hall. Although they were running fast, a strange flute sound suddenly sounded in their ears.
The sound was like a wild wind in the wilderness, and like an uneasy and well-intentioned whistle, full of extreme unreality and frightening chaos.
The sound of the flute evoked some subconscious touches, making Galadia's heart beat violently. Even though she was already a powerful transcendent, she still felt deeply powerless and desperate.
She stopped and reached out to hold the panting silver-haired girl. Neferty also turned around tremblingly.
The black-haired and silver-haired girls held each other's waists and danced in the empty hall.
"Will your knight come to you?"
Neferty's face was pale. What she saw from the corner of her eye was darkness without people. However, she had a feeling that she was being rubbed and surrounded by smooth and twisted things from the front, back, left and right.
Neferti was frightened to death. Without paying attention, she twisted her already cold ankle and knelt down on the ground.
"No," Galadia said, "I gave him to Sonia! They are eating hot mutton and drinking butterbeer right now, not to mention how happy they are!"
The beautiful ranger lady held on to her dance, swaying her long straight black hair, spinning in the sound of the flute. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she looked into Neferti's eyes:
"Sonia will keep an eye on him, do her homework well, and go to the beach together during the summer vacation to keep up with my rhythm...
"In a few years, after they graduate, they will live in a house on the Bijerland Hill, with countless guests every day; they will buy a castle in Verona and go there twice a year... Please don't look around.
"I go there twice a year. I light the fireplace on a cold winter night, let him sleep on my lap, and read to him. After he falls asleep... um."
"..."
Neferti could no longer feel the strange things floating around her. She could only see a pair of morning stars dimly obscured, and a silvery glimmer rippling in the mist.
"Garadia, if you are unhappy, you don't have to say anything," Neferti said timidly, "Really, I can concentrate."
"In short," Miss Ranger's eyes regained her composure, "Now we only have each other.
"Be brave, Neferti, we must persevere.
"Hold on, there is hope!
"Those bastards who want to use us as sealed objects and as fuel, I won't let them get their wish!"
…
"Grrrrrr!"
The cold water poured into his mouth and nose, and Griffith saw a dead gray tentacle wrapped around his ankle. In the turbid black water, there was a huge mouth, and huge eyes as cold as dead objects stared at him.
"Han Guang!"
The war knight drew his holy sword and slashed wildly, but finally broke free and climbed to the shore.
"Hi-ho!"
He gritted his teeth, reset the dislocated arm, pulled out the sword spur stuck in the armor and threw it away, and then continued running wildly.
Faint and strange shadows, twisted and ferocious, rolled in like a tidal wave.
For several hours, he was being chased. He had just repelled the siege of the Sons of Domon, and was immediately ambushed by other monsters.
The further forward you go, the stronger the monster becomes... It's as if the road under your feet is not leading to Canaan, the kingdom of God on earth, but...
Leading to an unspeakable, mysterious and desperate situation that transcends common sense and physical limits and comes from the endless abyss.
