Main Text Volume Chapter 410: Eternal Snake Emblem
Angel still had a look of doubt on his face, but he didn't continue asking, because the two of them had a meaningless conversation, which made Shadow on the side look curious again.
He didn't want others to know about the abnormality in his soul.
"Don't tell anyone about the law veins in my soul." Angel said to the high priest.
The high priest nodded imperceptibly.
After the selection, the high priest signaled the priest to take Yelena away first. After everyone left, he turned around and said, "My lords, this grand festival has come to an end."
"However, there is still a problem now." The high priest glanced at Fiona: "This time, the grand festival was advanced by nearly two months. The Saint Castle once said that there will be distinguished guests coming this time, and the Sky Choir needs to be selected earlier to perform in the Saint Castle. Do we need to organize the Sky Choir now and rehearse before the performance?"
Distinguished guests coming? Performing in the Saint Castle? Angle paused, and then he understood the reason why the grand festival was advanced this time, which should be referring to Felicia and Greya.
But it's a bit hard to say whether to take the Sky Choir to the Black Castle to perform or not... They have used up the number of times for the secret treasure, and now they are taking the Sky Choir to the Black Castle. Obviously, the timing is a bit inappropriate.
When Angel was unable to make a decision, Shadow suddenly said, "Wait a minute, I'll go ask Fiona."
Angel nodded to Shadow, and Shadow took Fiona to the second floor.
"Wait a moment, they will discuss it."
The high priest naturally understood what "discuss" meant, smiled and nodded, and sat down again.
While Shadow was leaving, Angel was ready to ask something about Pocrates again.
"High priest, have you seen this pattern?" Angel created a miniature illusion, with a scaly black snake wrapped around a silver-white ring-shaped long cone.
The high priest looked at Angel with a thoughtful look in his eyes: "Have you been to Pocrates?"
Angel's previous conversation with Shadow had almost admitted that he had been to Pocrates, so he no longer concealed it and nodded to the high priest: "Yes."
The high priest: "I remember when I was a child, our family lived in the attic of a single mother's house in Xibo Lak. The mother's name was Taisha, and she had a lovely daughter, Bra. Before the war came, we lived happily. Taisha liked to tell stories to Bra, and the story she mentioned most often was Pocrates."
The high priest smiled slightly, recalling the good times in the past.
"Taisha said that Pocrates is a holy place, where there is no war, no disease, and the light shines. It is protected by Axo and set by the royal family. It is the highest and most beautiful place that humans pursue." The high priest: "My lord, I have always been curious about what Pocrates is like. Is it really such a holy place?"
"Do you think there is such a beautiful utopia?" Angel asked back.
The high priest lowered his head, shook his head and smiled: "If there is no magic array in Xibolu, maybe this place can also be regarded as a utopia?"
"If there is no magic array, you will not be passed down safely for thousands of years." Angel said.
The high priest did not respond, and he obviously understood this truth.
"Let's go back to Pocrates. I don't know if it was what you said before. But it's definitely not like that now. I can only describe it in one sentence." Angel said word by word: "Who, go, who, die."
The high priest paused, then shook his head and said self-deprecatingly: "Taisha died when the war started."
"Bra always believed that Pocrates was a place where she could redeem herself. After the war, she returned to Xipolac." The high priest's tone suddenly became sad when he said this: "She deceived us with her sweet smile. My mother, my sister, my brother, and my children... were deceived by her and sold to slave traders from afar. I escaped and was saved by Lady Isabel."
"Bra said that she loved us and hoped that I would We love her too. As long as we can sell it for a good price, she can spend money to hire someone to find Pocrates. As long as she can reach Pocrates, the beautiful holy light will illuminate everything in the world. This is the price we need to pay for loving her. "The high priest said with sadness in his eyes: "I don't blame her. When I was a child, she and Taisha brought me the best memories. So even if I left Xipolac, I still silently wish her to find Pocrates and fulfill her long-cherished wish. "
The high priest raised his head and looked at Angel: "However, after hearing what the adults said today, it seems that she was wrong and was deceived all her life. "
Angel: "Not necessarily, maybe a thousand years ago, it was really a utopia?" At least, from the current signs of Pocrates, we can see that they were destroyed a thousand years ago.
High Priest: "I hope so. By the way, the reason why I saw this emblem and guessed that the Lord had been to Pocrates was because I overheard something when our family was sold to slave traders by Bra. The slave traders also wanted to go to Pocrates. They consulted a lot of royal books and learned that the holy emblem of Pocrates was a black snake coiled on a long circular cone."
"The 'snake coiled on the scepter' circulated in the outside world is actually a modification of the holy emblem of Pocrates. But the real holy emblem is not a scepter, but a long circular cone."
"Its name is the Eternal Serpent Emblem."
Immortal snake emblem? Angel subconsciously uttered this name, and somehow, he recalled in his mind the behemoth he saw in the underground water - Axl.
If Axl is the black snake on the snake emblem, what is the "annular long cone"? Why hadn't he seen it in Pocrates?
"Do you know what the long cone on this emblem represents?" Angel asked.
"Eternal life." The high priest paused: "This awl refers to the awl of eternal life."
Eternal life... Lightning seemed to flash through Angel's mind. Speaking of eternal life, the first thing he thought of was Dodolo, who had not aged for thousands of years. Is this considered eternal life? But he didn't find any Cone of Immortality on Dudolo.
When Dudolo was fished out of the coffin, he was completely naked, with no other cone-shaped objects except a broken bowl that he had been holding in his hand.
Could it be that that broken bowl is the Cone of Eternal Life?
Angel recalled carefully that the bowl was very ordinary. He checked it several times and found nothing unusual. But Duoduoluo was extremely persistent with it and kept holding it, so he simply let him go without taking the bowl away.
Later, he no longer paid attention to the bowl, and he didn't know where Dudolo put it.
However, the difference between a bowl and a long cone is still a bit big. Moreover, since Axl is hovering on the long cone, he obviously knows about the long cone. Even if it is generous, it will not send the cone of immortality away, right?
Angel had various doubts in his heart, but this was not the time to investigate. We can only wait until we return to the surface world and go find Dudolo to get a bowl.
Angel also wanted to ask specifically about the Cone of Eternal Life, when Shadow walked down from the second floor.
The shadow said to Angel: "Don't worry, I just asked Fiona. She said that it was her idea to advance the big festival and invite the Sky Choir to perform at Castle Black. Madam Butterfly didn't know about this. , let’s just pretend it doesn’t happen.”
"Your way of questioning is very unique." Angel said, looking at Fiona whose face was red, swollen and bruised, and who was once again controlled by the puppet thread.
"Non-violence and non-cooperation save time." Shadow answered happily.
Angel refused to talk to him and said to the high priest: "Don't worry about the performance. If something happens, just expose us."
The high priest nodded and retreated from the Centennial Hall.
After the high priest left, Angel and Shadow also prepared to return to the inner world. Shadow has not given up looking for Naga, and Angel needs to go to Felicia's appointment.
When I returned to the inner world, it was almost night.
Shadow acted alone, and Angel came to the first floor hall of Castle Black.
When he arrived, Felicia was sitting at the mixing table, while Greia was sitting on the floor, cooking ingredients with one hand and stuffing them into her mouth with the other.
"Lady Greia, I wonder if Toby is now..." Angel paused just after asking half a sentence.
Greya looked at him with strange and curious eyes, as well as confusion and shyness. Angel had seen this kind of look in the eyes of many girls, but it never appeared in the eyes of Grea.
"Little brother, are you thirsty? This is for you."
Greya's reaction was also very strange. She blinked her beautiful and clear eyes and handed a glass to Angel.
There was no liquid in the glass, but there was a cloud of gas swirling like a nebula.
Angel held the glass and didn't know how to react, but Greia still looked at Angel with green eyes and motioned for him to drink.
Angel also knew that the food wizard’s ingredients were all kinds of weird, and who knew what effects he would have if he drank them. In addition, Greya's reaction was very strange. He didn't know how to deal with it at all, so he hesitated to move the glass.
At this time, Felicia said: "Drink it. This is the vortex of measuring energy. After drinking it, the operating efficiency of the magic source will be slightly improved within a week. It will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."
When Angel heard what Felicia said, he could only bite his scalp and drink it.
After Angel drank it, his eyes lit up slightly.
After taking the Qi Qi Whirlpool into the mouth, it was not dry and tasteless as expected, but had a wonderful milk taste. The rich milk flavor was completely comparable to the best milk Angel ever drank.
"Such a rich milky flavor." Angel sighed with a very restrained expression on his face.
Felicia glanced at him, raised her eyebrows and said: "The Qi Measurement Whirlpool has no taste. The reason why you feel the taste is because the food wizard added edible slomon, which directly arouses your personal taste. According to personal taste Different taste preferences lead to different tastes of Qi Qi Whirlpool.”
"The Qi Whirlpool is tasteless when I drink it, but the taste when my sister drinks it is like alcohol." Greya narrowed her eyes with a smile: "It turns out that little brother likes to drink milk."
Angel's face darkened. The food wizard made was indeed a scam. He forced a smile, and now it was too obvious to deny his taste, so he could only face it with a smile.
"Do you want to eat this?" Greya held up a plate of round lumps that looked like metal and happily wanted to continue sharing.
