The wings flapped, and the blue-eyed girl floated slightly upward in the air. She stretched out a hand forward, and as the core runes bloomed, an extremely complex circular rune array appeared vertically with the palm of her hand as the center.
Above the stream bank.
"Elven Rune Lock!"
Emilia recognized it immediately, and Shade nodded, watching the rune lock hidden in the air fully appear.
The rune lock is a quasi-space seal created using rituals. It can only be opened by mastering a specific key, that is, a specific incantation and gesture. Otherwise, it can only be opened through Shade's thaumaturgy - the key of the door, or the relic - the master key.
Method to forcibly open the lock.
Obviously, the rune lock in front of me composed of ancient Elvish language is more complicated than the examples mentioned in the "Basic Runes" and "Runes from the Beginning" courses.
Although Miss Elise has mastered the correct way to open a lock, this is only her first time trying to open it. Therefore, as she whispers as if chanting Elvish songs, the life ring behind her back slowly outputs her spirit in conjunction with gestures, and the rune lock
The orange phantom locks that hit each one were not opened very quickly.
"Emilia, go help."
Shade whispered, and the elf girl nodded slightly, then carefully came to the stream, pricked her finger, dropped a drop of blood into the water, then slowly knelt down on one knee, clasped her hands in front of her chest and whispered
pray.
Emilia's prayers and Miss Elise's chants were mixed together, and the two resonated with each other. The resulting vibrations of spirits and elements caused the huge ritual array floating in the air to deform at a faster speed.
.
After a full five minutes, Miss Elisa's body fell and her feet touched the ground again. Emilia also patted her skirt and stood up from the river beach.
At this time, in the center of the clear stream originating from the top of the mountain, a small stone platform had risen.
The stone platform is slightly above the water and supported by stone pillars at the bottom. There are three statues on it.
The statue on the left is an elf girl with a wreath on her head. She is standing and shyly stretching out her right hand forward, holding a stone staff in her left hand; the one on the right is kneeling on one knee, wearing a cloak.
, another elf girl with a stone sword at her feet.
Her left hand held the right hand of the standing elf girl, and her right hand held a stone ring, trying to put it on the wreathed elf girl's hand.
On the side of the two people, away from the river beach, is a stone statue of a two-winged angel.
The angel opened his arms, and the outstretched wings seemed to wrap up the two elf girls. The angel's shape was a more classic style, wearing a white robe and bare feet, and his specific gender could not be seen.
Because the three statues had just risen from the water, there were still water drops on each one. The skylight shone from above the valley, not only making the stream appear sparkling, but also the stone statues seemed to be twinkling because of these water drops.
Glimmer.
"This is the statue of the unknown dragon-slaying hero of the fifth era. It is a relic left by the elves to commemorate them."
Miss Eliaser explained that this also explains why the two statues other than the angels are female.
"Elves can get blessings when they come here, but it has no effect on other races. So over the years, there haven't been many local legends about this little ruins."
She continued to speak, while the pointed-eared elf girl nodded slightly, looking at the three statues on the stream in the distance with envy and reverence:
"Ancient Elf Hero"
"Ang~"
The little unicorn poked her, so Emilia sat sideways on the unicorn's back, Shade used "water walking", and Miss Elise walked directly on the water - the boat is unsinkable, and the three
Together they walked towards the stone platform holding the three statues.
In the quiet mountain forest and valley, the statue of the unknown hero was bathed in the afternoon sunshine. Shade didn't even want to speak too loudly for fear of disturbing the atmosphere at the moment.
But when he got closer to those statues, in addition to looking at the right arm of the angel statue, he also looked at the angel's left arm.
The open left hand of the statue actually held a metal box, and if Shade saw it correctly, the pattern engraved on the front of the box was clearly the emblem of the "Wood Family", one of the seven major families in Moon Bay.
"What is this thing?"
Shade asked the girl next to him, but Miss Elisa didn't know.
The two of them were walking in front, and Amelia was walking behind on a little unicorn. Shadben thought about taking a closer look, but he didn't expect that the box suddenly started to vibrate on its own.
He stopped and asked the two girls to be careful. Then, as a ray of light passed through the air, a crack appeared in the space next to the stone platform, and a human hand reached out and held the box.
Then a man Shade had never seen before walked out of the fragmented space:
"Who is so kind as to help me unlock this elf's seal?"
The visitor looked to be about forty years old, similar to Dr. Schneider's age. He was wearing a black formal suit that looked like he was going to a banquet. He had a very elegant mustache on his chin. While holding the box with his left hand, he touched it with his right hand.
Touch your own beard.
After getting the metal box, he looked at the three of them inquiringly.
His eyes made contact with Xia De, and Xia De was slightly startled:
"Thirteen rings?"
The stranger nodded slightly:
"People call me the Light Chaser. Thank you for helping me unlock the seal here. I have always known that this thing is in this seal, but the ancient Elvish language is really difficult, isn't it? (Note)"
"Light Chaser."
Shade pursed his lips and stretched his hands behind his back, while the man holding the box looked at the girls behind him:
"Unicorns and elves, I would like to take the liberty to ask, is this young girl the one who pulled out the Sword of Light on Belindle's Big Ben last weekend?"
Seeing that no one answered him, he shook his head regretfully and looked down at the stone platform standing at his feet. No one spoke. In such a quiet stream, the only sounds were the gurgling stream and the wind blowing through the treetops.
obvious.
When the "Light Chaser" looked up at the three people again, three balls of egg-sized white light had already arrived in front of their eyes.
Shade's left hand had already touched [Calamity Solitaire·Shadow of the Deep Sea] and tried to use "darkness" to suppress the magic of "Light Chaser", but someone was faster than him.
Miss Eleser, who once again transformed into the dragonborn, actually stretched out her hand to grab the three white lights that were swelling and about to explode. Then, in Shade's shocked eyes, she swallowed the thaumaturgy of the "Light Chaser"
mouth, but she was not affected in any way.
"Remember? I was born in a place without light."
With slightly bright blue eyes, the dragonborn girl asked with a smile, then flapped her wings and flew high into the sky with the serious-looking "Light Chaser".
Shade and Emilia looked up together, watching the twelve-ring life rings and the thirteen-ring life rings appear in the air together. Countless light bullets of different colors left light traces in the air and touched each other. In just a few seconds, the first
The round of fighting was over. The balls of light and dragon flames colliding and exploding in the valley even caused a strange halo to rise in the sky.
After the tentative confrontation, there was a real battle. While Shade below quickly walked towards the angel statue on the stone platform, on the life ring behind the "Light Chaser", Miracle - "Giant" and Enlightenment -
"Light" blooms brightly together:
"Thumbs - light incarnation!"
The man in the sky suddenly turned into a ball of light, and then the ball of light quickly grew in size above the valley, until it turned into a giant of light standing in the valley.
This is the most famous move of the thirteen-ring warlock "Light Chaser", and the girl with dragon wings on her back does not panic.
She easily dodged the giant hand shot by the giant of light, and when the cliff behind her was pierced by that hand, she raised her right hand high, and the sky dimmed, and strange cold raindrops fell from the sky.
It seemed as if the sun was gradually extinguishing, and even the light on the giant ray of light became much dimmer in an instant. When the core runes on the twelve-ring life ring behind Miss Elise shone in succession, the violent waves
The slapping sound became louder and louder.
It was obviously a sunny summer afternoon, but the huge humidity had already hit his face. The light giant once again stretched out his hand to the girl glowing in the sky, but was directly slapped back by the waves that suddenly appeared in the air.
Look around, and see where there are any quiet river valleys. On that lightless ocean, the sky, ocean and even the entire world are black.
The light on the giant ray of light is constantly being pulled away from the world, and the life ring behind him has also become huge. It is trying to mobilize more spirits to use thaumaturgy to solve the current predicament. But what is very unfortunate is that this thaumaturgy is just right.
This is the story of her birth, this is the place where she died, and this is also the hometown of her rebirth. With all the core spiritual runes as the bones, the story that symbolizes her "beginning" is the skin.
This thaumaturgy does not require her to deliberately learn, it is the instinctive talent that has been imprinted on her unique soul when her soul is truly formed. When she suddenly wakes up from the chaos and confusion and knows "I am me"
.
Howling winds and raindrops hit our faces, and violent waves crash on the boundless sea.
So, with a loud noise, the giant cruise ship covered with blue dragon scales and with wings spread out on both sides of the ship rushed out of the stormy waves. Miss "Glory" with glowing blue eyes stood on the deck, wearing long black hair.
Her hair swayed behind her in the wind.
She shouted loudly, and together with the flying ship, they hit the chest of the light giant in the lightless sea——
"Mystery Lock·Sunless Sea!"
PS: In Chapter 2289, Shade got clues from John Flynn that the Light Chaser was investigating local elf legends, but at the time Shade thought he was investigating Emilia.
