Act 116 Ambush II

When Adni and her group returned to the Storm Shadow Inn, they had already heard about the farce in the afternoon. According to the wishful thinking of the knights, the young man in the hotel showed incredible strength in the battle with the lord's knights and the Rosalin guards. In fact, all those who witnessed this scene in the square were The onlookers expressed their enthusiasm. However, Adni still insisted that Brando had caused a big trouble, claiming that it was a good thing that she led everyone away quickly in the afternoon, otherwise she might have been involved in the center of the whirlpool of the dispute.

The knights were laughing, and no one pointed out the fact that it was Naquil who asked everyone to leave first in the afternoon.

But when the golden elf carrying a long bow inspected the entire dilapidated hotel and came back to ask her if she should continue to search for Brando and his party, the deputy leader of the Wings of Ra Knights was in trouble. .

"Um, are you sure that the sword in his hand is really the Holy Sword of the Sun?" Adni had a troubled look on her face. After thinking about it for a long time, she asked hesitantly.

But the hesitation in her emerald eyes was obviously not because she was not sure whether the Odyssey in Brando's hand was genuine, but because she simply wanted to ask other people for details. Tight Naquil: She can't make up her mind, what to do next?

Naquil glanced at her and replied: "My scarab emblem was slightly hot at that time. Captain's scarab emblem can't be a fake, right?"

"How come," Adni chuckled. She took out a necklace from her arms. The pendant of this necklace was a golden image of a scarab, with turquoise decorations depicting the texture of the beetle. Lifelike. "This was given to me personally by the elders of the temple."

Naquil was very suspicious of how the other party became the deputy leader of the Knights of the Wings of Ra, or maybe because the other party was particularly good at settling accounts, she was appointed captain of this expedition. Perhaps it was also for the same reason. There has been drought every year in Rubik, and this year the crops in many places around the desert have almost failed. The temple can no longer afford to support such an elite expedition team.

Thinking of this, Naquil calmed down a little. If Adni hadn't been careful along the way, they would have suffered a lot even if they barely managed to reach Rosalind. Whether the team can be maintained is still unknown.

All this was caused by this disaster. In the central areas of the worlds such as Jiufeng and Warnde, the impact of the demonic tide has not yet begun to appear. But on the fringes of the desert kingdom. People have been struggling between life and death for a long time. In order to survive, they had to seek this glimmer of hope and find any way to end the disaster.

Naquil sighed and replied: "We have been coming to Rosalin for a long time, and we have been trying our luck until now. Now we finally have a clue under the guidance of the Omniscient Eye, how can we give up so easily. Do we really want to go back to Lubik and tell everyone that the plan failed. Then let the temple lead the people to move north?"

Hearing this, the knights silently showed serious expressions. No more talking. "How is that possible?" Adni also frowned rarely and categorically rejected: "We must not fail, otherwise"

She clenched her fists. Lubik is a kingdom built on oases of various sizes in the desert. What is it like to leave the oasis and migrate in the vast desert? Although the north is said to be a paradise-like world, in fact No one has ever gotten there,

Most of the time, migration means death, and countless people will die on the road. That is not a set of data recorded on papyrus, but a living person.

Adni once saw towns that were in a state of destruction due to the failure of food harvests. The entire city completely lost order in a short period of time. Human beings became like wild beasts. These strong and powerful young people were, or rather, robbers and robbers. Bandits became the masters of other people's fates, old men were killed, and women and children were turned into commodities and even food.

She has also seen towns that had to move because of the disappearance of oases. Entire families died on the way. The entire southern part of the Rubik Kingdom seemed to be disappearing slowly but surely. Under the pressure of annihilation, the evil spirits The believers took the opportunity to spread rumors in the kingdom that their only true god would save the entire Lubik at the end of the world. People who were bewitched by the cultists were causing chaos everywhere, making the already precarious kingdom even more difficult.

When Adni became a knight, she once vowed not to let such a tragedy happen again under her own sword. Therefore, she finally convinced the elders of the temple to make up their mind to send this expedition. Few people knew that for this reason, she did not hesitate to sell anything. Only after losing the sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in his family was he able to raise all the funds for this expedition.

So there is absolutely no chance of failure.

Thinking of this, her expression relaxed and she said to everyone: "I'm sorry, Naquil, actually I know what you all think of me. Compared to Captain Taha, I am indeed more of a housekeeper. .As your captain, I may be a little incompetent, so Naquil, if you have any ideas, please tell everyone, and I will entrust you with full authority."

"Captain"

"Captain, you don't have to say that." The knights were startled and said this hurriedly.

But Naquil glanced at her silently and just nodded: "Captain, our goal is to retrieve the Emerald Heart and merge it with the Holy Sword. After that, the elders will open the temple and call for the Emerald Heart." The staff, the staff of nature gave Rubik everything at the beginning, I believe it can do the same today."

"In order to achieve this goal, we followed the temple's prophecy to the east as promised, all the way to the land of Rosalin. After all, the Emerald Heart has disappeared for thousands of years, and has never been seen before. Anyone who has seen its true face will find it very difficult to find it, which we all expected."

"But we have been here for such a long time, and apart from finding out that there was a Jade Dragon Heart in the legend of Jiufeng, we don't have any clues. The last time the Jade Dragon Heart of the Jiufeng people appeared was two More than a thousand years ago, its significance to Jiu Feng was no less than what the Emerald Heart meant to Rubik. There were also countless Jiu Feng people looking for its whereabouts, but they also found nothing."

Naquil frowned as if this was already his subconscious action, and slowly narrated to his companions: "Until today, we met a person carrying the Holy Sword of the Sun."

He stopped.

After a while, he continued: "The Holy Sword of the Sun has nothing to do with the Rod of Nature, but I once heard a legend that in the calendar of the Saint Ada people, at the turn of the era, the holy object would come to the world. Favored by one person's hand, when this happens, the holy objects will automatically come together, appear in different forms, and open the door to the future."

"Is there such a legend, Naquil?" Adni couldn't help but interrupted with some surprise.

"You know that I am the gravekeeper of the desert of wisdom, the guardian of secrets. The guardian of buried secrets."

Adni glanced at him and nodded silently. She knew Naquil's identity. If this expedition team had not been responsible for saving the entire desert, as a member of the tomb guardians, Naquil might not have known him in his life. Take a step out of the desert of wisdom.

"Then what?" someone asked.

"Actually, Ra's omniscient eye is such a sacred object. It appeared in Rubik three thousand centuries ago and witnessed the end of that era." Naquil glanced at the knight and said silently: "About There are no traces of legends about everything of that era, and the prophets only learned all this from the information left over from the All-Knowing Eye."

Including Adni, the knights seemed to be shocked, looking at Naquil speechless for a long time. In the legend of Rubik, Ra's Omniscient Eye is its artifact, a sacred object formed from one of its eyes. It integrates all the wisdom of Rubik's supreme ruler, the sun god, and is omniscient and omnipotent. Legend has it that it can see Go to the past, present and future, and even create an era.

People have spread rumors about it as being miraculous, but in fact very few people have actually seen it. Only some distant legends mention that this all-knowing eye is kept in the temple in the center of the Desert of Wisdom. And there is an absolute restricted area in the center of the great desert. Any outsider who dares to set foot on this land will die at the hands of the mysterious tomb keepers. Each of these tomb keepers has an oath, as long as the pursuit begins. , and will not stop until death.

In fact, in the minds of most Rubiks, Ra's omniscient eye is not a physical existence, but more like a symbol with symbolic significance. It is a symbol of the sun god's former existence in this world, just like Wo. The mortals of Grace have similar feelings towards the Azure Spear of the Sky, the holy spear that ushered in the era of the earth.

It is like a god, guarding this mortal era. As for where it is, few people know where it went with the Azure Knight after the war in the Fifth Era.

In comparison, the sacred sword of the sun, which is also said to be a sacred object of the sun god, is more like a weapon promised by the sun god to mortals.

Adni opened her mouth slightly and said with blank eyes: "Naquil, you said that holy objects will be combined with each other to form different forms? Lord Ra's omniscient eye is just one of these forms? "

To be continued. .
