Chapter 253 The Tail Swallower
boom!
Derrick's ax, entwined with silver lights, hit the river on the mural, causing the wall to sag, and stone chips flew across.
With one blow from him, the end-to-end river was completely severed from it.
Just as he was expecting the cycle to be broken and all the members of the exploration team to jump out of the temple, "Demon Hunter" Colin came to him in a flash and said with a serious face:
"What are you doing?"
The tip of the demigod's sword was still hanging downwards, but the hand holding the handle was obviously stronger than before.
Derrick recalled the rhetoric that gathered the wisdom of all members of the Tarot Society, and said half of "doubt" and half of "fear":
"A black shadow flashed past here just now, Your Excellency, really! It looks like a child's figure!"
Colin Iliad asked another team member without looking away:
"Heim, did you see that?"
The member of the exploration team called Heim subconsciously approached the chief, shook his head firmly and said:
"No, I didn't see anything."
Colin's light blue eyes suddenly shimmered, highlighting two dark green complex symbols.
He just stared at Derrick quietly for four or five seconds.
Finally, he withdrew his gaze and said without any abnormality:
"This is your first exploration mission, it is normal to have hallucinations due to nervousness.
"Next, you will follow me, I think you will be calmer this way."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Chief." Derrick agreed without hesitation.
After trying just now, he preliminarily confirmed that the murals were not connected with the key points.
The "Rose of Redemption" suggested by Mister Fool should have a deeper meaning, it's not that simple... Derrick held the "Hurricane Axe" and walked silently beside Chief Colin.
What happened afterwards was not much different from the few explorations he remembered.
Everyone repeated the past, arrived at the final hall with the altar for the sixth time, and found the little yellow-haired boy Jack curled up in the shadows.
Hearing the words "Help me...help me..." and seeing the obvious figure of a child, "Demon Hunter" Colin nodded invisibly, focusing his attention on Derrick Berg Most of it was recovered.
Just when he was considering his words and was about to speak, Derrick suddenly asked:
"How can I save you?"
The little boy Jack showed an excited expression:
"Help me, save me, send me home! Send me home!"
"Where is your home?" Derrick asked curiously and fearfully.
Seeing this, Colin closed his mouth and tightened his palms.
The little boy Jack raised his hand weakly and said:
"My home, my home is in Enmat Harbor!"
Enmat Port... Although Mr. "The Hanged Man" didn't mention it, judging from the word port, Jack really doesn't belong to us. He probably came from the outside world, from Loen, where Miss Justice and the others are located. kingdom! Derrick was overjoyed and couldn't hide his excitement.
His reaction did not arouse the suspicion of "Demon Hunter" Colin, because this powerful chief of the "Six-member Council" has never seen the sea, and can only know from some preserved classics that this kind of sea is bigger than a lake. I don't know how many times the body of water, and the term "port".
The "Enmat Port" that the strange boy spit out seemed to unfold a picture scroll of a new world in front of Colin, which made him, who was struggling to find the future of the City of Silver, forget other things instantly, and blurted out:
"How did you, or both, get here?"
The little boy Jack showed an expression of reminiscence:
"My father and I first took the boat, and then joined his companions to continue the boat. After a big, big storm, the rest of the people boarded the land and followed the direction the Lord looked at. All the way here."
Follow the direction of the main gaze? "Demon Hunter" Colin, Derrick and the others looked at the statue on the altar at the same time to discern where he was staring.
Soon, Colin confirmed the general information.
They walked in the direction where the gods looked, and came here, that is to say, as long as we reverse this process, we can find the seaside and the place where they landed... The opposite direction of the line of sight is... The City of Silver is constantly The map of the surroundings that was gradually improved during the exploration emerged in the mind of "Demon Hunter" Colin, allowing him to initially describe the strange boy's "journey" route.
If there are no other temples in the middle, no corresponding statues, and if it continues like this, then, it will pass through the ruins of the "Royal Court of Giants"! Colin's pupils suddenly shrank.
It was the palace of the gods who used to live in the ancient god "Giant King" Almir, not far from the City of Silver!
The descendants of the Kingdom of Silver, which has been ruled by a family of giants for a long time, know exactly where its ruins are located, but they have never been able to complete the exploration, because it is extremely dangerous, more dangerous than pure darkness without light!
According to Colin's backtracking, the strange boy and his party arrived here through the ruins of the "Royal Court of Giants".
"How did they do it? Maybe they didn't take a pure straight line and bypassed the 'Giant Court'... Anyway, there is a road leading to the sea on the back of the 'Giant Court', and there is probably a road on the other side of the sea. The kingdom of mankind...will that be the hope of the City of Silver?" Colin couldn't help thinking.
At this time, Derrick keenly noticed that the clothes between the chest and abdomen of the little boy Jack were stained dark red, and it seemed that liquid was slowly oozing out.
"Are you hurt?" he asked cautiously.
Jack lowered his head and replied in an erratic tone:
"There are some ugly things growing..."
While speaking, he pulled off his clothes, revealing his bare chest and abdomen.
There, inlaid with two eyes, a nose, and a mouth!
It wasn't painted on, it wasn't put together with gemstones, it was purely made of real eyes, real noses and real mouths, and they didn't belong to each other as if they belonged to three people.
Suddenly, Derrick imagined a picture: after the little boy Jack ate his companions, he used their remaining eyes, nose and mouth to form a weird human face between his chest and abdomen.
The gentle and indifferent face made Derrick inexplicably familiar.
In just a second or two, Derrick figured out the reason for the familiarity:
This human face is very similar to the angel in the mural above, the silver-haired angel stepping on the circulating river!
Sure enough, the reason we keep exploring over and over comes from Him! Derrick's heart moved, and he blurted out a word, as if to give a spell to relieve the predicament.
"Rose Redemption!" He solemnly shouted.
The little boy Jack raised his head, stared at him blankly, and opened his mouth a little bit, reaching to the base of his ears:
"I'm very hungry……
"Very hungry..."
... Derrick froze for a moment, seeing the fierce battle.
When he regained consciousness, he sat back by the campfire.
"Rose of Redemption" is not a spell...he began to reflect deeply.
The seventh exploration started soon, and Derrick, who had already tried it, no longer behaved abnormally, but only took the initiative to try to check the "Rose of Redemption" mural.
All the way as usual, the exploration team entered the underground hall with altars and statues again, and found the obviously weird little boy Jack.
After a similar conversation, Derrick saw the face made of other people's facial features again.
Having gained experience, he did not make any irritating actions, lowered his voice, and said to "Demon Hunter" Colin:
"Your Excellency, the face on his chest is very similar to the angel in the mural above, that is, the angel with silver hair and the river at his feet connecting end to end, um, the mural with 'Rose of Redemption' written in the corner."
"Demon Hunter" Colin was startled for a moment, then frowned.
While watching and comforting the little boy Jack, he looked at Derrick out of the corner of his eye.
After a few seconds of silence, he whispered:
"Because you mentioned this matter, I had some associations."
Without waiting for Derrick to ask, he continued on his own:
"We have studied the mural for a long time, and we simply think that it depicts an angel leading the way and a group of pilgrims ascetics, and the name of their group may be called 'Rose of Redemption'.
"The end-to-end river indicates a cycle, our interpretation is that the pilgrimage is repeated.
"But now it seems that it may mark the identity of that angel.
"This is what you made me think, because Amon was once hidden in your body."
"Why?" Derrick was at a loss.
"Demon Hunter" Colin stared at the little boy Jack and said:
"The little worm left by Amon is a symbol of time, and the revolving river is often related to fate. Putting the two together reminds me of the content mentioned in a few ancient books, which I don't know whether it is true or not.
"When 'the Lord who created everything, the omniscient and omnipotent God' looked at this world, he was surrounded by many angels. Among them, the leader of all the angels, the king of angels who is closest to the throne of God, there are eight in total. Their names are as follows: Some have disappeared in the long history, and some still have certain records, either briefly or in detail.
"It is rumored that among the eight kings of angels there are even descendants of gods.
"Among them, there are two angel kings whose titles are 'Angel of Time' and 'Angel of Destiny'."
Derrick suddenly realized, and asked in confirmation:
"You think Amon is the 'Angel of Time', and the one on the mural is the 'Angel of Destiny'?"
"I can't be sure for the time being. Only one title of 'Angel of Time' has been handed down, and the records of 'Angel of Destiny' are relatively detailed..." "Demon Hunter" Colin suddenly took a breath.
Immediately afterwards, he said in a deep voice:
"Angel of Destiny, Ouroreus the Tail Swallower."
…………
In the evening, inside the underground building of the Audra family.
Emlyn White looked at the iron-black coffin, and said to the ancient vampire lying inside:
"Master Nibais, I accept the mission of the ancestor!"
Nibais responded with an old voice:
"very good.
"When do you want to start? Is there any wish you haven't fulfilled?"
"..." Hearing Lord Nibais asking about his wish, Emlyn White's calf softened and he almost regretted it.
He stiffened his neck and said:
"unnecessary!
