Act 528 Throne of the End V

The howling cold wind blew against her face, and Antitina shivered.

Although the winter in Tonigel is already very cold, it is nothing compared to here. The cold wind like a knife seems to cut into people's skin. It can penetrate deep into the bone marrow and freeze the soul. A layer of white frost instantly forms on the long eyelashes. The hot breath forms a white mist, which instantly merges into the surrounding confused surroundings. In heavy fog.

After Yuta led her through the light door, he stopped and looked at the place with a calm expression. As far as the eye can see, there is a fog-filled icy and snowy land. There seems to be an interlaced glacier in the distance. Ice edges and icicles hang under the broken rocks. The wind is howling, but it cannot blow away the fog. The fog is surging, as if It's a living monster.

Yuta was not aware of the cold in the cold wind. He turned around with a smile and asked, "Do you know where this place is?"

Antitina slowly moved her gaze and shook her head.

Yuta smiled slightly: "This is the Kingdom of Mist."

"The Kingdom of Mist?"

"Mortals also call it the land of ice." Yuta looked at the vast white ice field in the distance, raised her hand to catch a snowflake, and the snowflake disappeared in the blink of an eye in her hand: "It is between the gray world and the shadow world. It is above, but it is still part of the lower realm. The Kingdom of Mist governs the law of cold, and the snowflakes scattered in the sky here are not real ice and snow, but the projection of the shallow sea water here."

She pointed above her head: "That's the shallow sea."

Antitina raised her head, and all she could see was a foggy scene, not even the existence of the sky. Yuta seemed to be very interested in her behavior and joked: "You can't see there. After all, the Kingdom of Mist and the Water Elemental Realm are two different worlds. Because of the lack of laws, you can't see the shallow sea here either." In the water, you can only see ice and snow."

"Is the Seat of Ending here?" Antitina asked.

Jutta shook her head: "I guess Martha placed it where everything was born."

"The place where everything was born?"

"Light floats in water, and spirits are born from water. That is the birthplace of everything in your world, and it is also the place where she wakes up." Yuta, or the Dragon of Dusk, replied: "But for several eras, I I’ve never found it, it’s like the place never existed.”

"Is there anything you can't find, Dragon of Dusk?"

"This is normal, because I am missing one of the most important keys. With my status, it is impossible for me to be recognized by the Seven Holy Swords." Yuta replied lightly.

Antitina was silent for a moment before asking: "The birthplace of everything, is this right here?"

Juta shook his head again: "I think its entrance is in the land of the dead - the dark elemental realm."

"Then why did you bring me here?"

Jutta turned back to look at her: "Because the underworld of Helm is indeed bordering the Kingdom of Fog, and by making such a big circle, naturally I don't want to arouse Martha's alert."

"Master Martha?"

Juta took out a dagger from the sheath and gently cut a cut on her hand as if she felt no pain. She turned her hand and let the blood drip onto the snow. Strangely, in such a cold weather, she The blood flowing from the wrist showed no intention of solidifying, and fell on the white snow bit by bit.

There was a golden light in her eyes while she watched her bleeding intently, and she replied softly: "We are all too familiar with each other after seven eras of war. I think she might have guessed that I would follow. Well, what happened in the Stagnant Realm taught me a lesson, that woman is indeed difficult to deal with——"

Antitina frowned: "What are you doing?"

Jutta did not answer this question. She moved forward step by step in the snow, drawing a magic circle with blood; the blood in the magic circle squirmed as if it had been given life, moved closer to the center, and gradually connected with each other.

When Antitina saw this scene, she suddenly understood her plan.

She suddenly struggled and rushed over to stop Yuta's actions.

But the female mercenary leader took a step back, and the sword appeared in her left hand at some point. She held the handle of the sword and swiped it. The sheath of the sword was swiped hard on the lower abdomen of the staff lady. Antitina only felt a turbulence in her stomach. , spinning around and kneeling in the snow.

Juta looked at her and said with a smile: "Your goddess has put up many barriers in Tony Geer. Even if I use the black moon to fall, I can't penetrate this land protected by the legacy of the seven saints." ——But the so-called unconquerable fortress often disintegrates from within. You see, everything you are doing now is just in vain."

Antitina frowned in pain and almost broke a silver tooth. She knelt in the cold snow and looked at her hatefully without saying a word.

The blood in the snow has begun to shine little by little.

…

The mess left behind by the last celebration a few days ago has been gradually covered up by the wind and snow. There was deathly silence in the city of Delinjie. The men had already put on their armor and picked up their weapons to fight the dusk to the death. There was only a depression on the streets, and there were still a few tattered curtains fluttering in the wind in the square.

The light of magic lit up the sky from time to time, explosions occurred one after another, and the whole city seemed to be shaking.

But among the lonely streets, there was a girl pacing in the wind and snow. The howling cold wind seemed to be unable to stop her enthusiasm. She was wearing a leather skirt that was common among merchants in the Golan-Elsen area, carrying a bag and holding her hands behind her back. She was kicking the snow on the street with her round-toe shoes with great interest, as if she was still innocent, swaying left and right. Akira looked around at the scenery curiously.

"What is this place?"

"Why are you here?"

The girl muttered to herself, as if she was talking to someone. But suddenly, she stopped firmly - there was a shop in front of her, the eaves were half tilted in the snow, the furnishings inside looked like a grocery store, it was dim and dark, with only one candle. .

But at least this is the only shop still open on this street. The owner is a middle-aged man, limping around moving things in the house. There was no one in the city, and he had no business. He seemed to be preparing to close, but when he turned around, he saw the girl standing in front of his shop.

The man was stunned. There was a conspicuous scar on his face, which looked a bit ferocious in the dim light. His leg seemed to be injured and he had some difficulty walking. He looked at the girl doubtfully and asked: "Which family are you a child from? Where are your family members? Why haven't you escaped yet?"

The girl tilted her head and replied: "I don't have any family. By the way, my name is Roman. Uncle, haven't you left yet?"

The man gave a bitter smile: "Do you think I can escape like this? Anyway, I will die here, and the most I can do is stay here. But for you, little kid, it would be a pity to stay here."

As he spoke, he moved away with difficulty, allowing Roman to pace into the house.

The merchant lady looked at the furnishings in the store with curiosity. She felt a vague sense of familiarity in her heart, as if she remembered bargaining with others in such a store, and there was a young man with a sad face standing next to her.

But those memories were vague and distant, and even she didn't know which ones were true and which ones were false.

"Forget it, don't say those bad words, little girl, what do you want to buy?" The man limped to the counter and asked at the same time.

Roman's eyes fell on an old sugar bowl on the shelf. It was a beautiful glass sugar bowl filled with colorful candy wrappers, but the surface was a little mottled. The lid was still well-preserved, and there was a golden... Hang buckle.

It was like a dream that reflected the past. She looked at the jar and was stunned for a long time.

"Brando, I want the sugar jar."

"But we don't have that much money."

"Hehe, when I have money in the future, I will definitely buy it - by the way, how about we go to Freya and borrow some."

"Don't even think about it."

The man followed her gaze and asked, pointing to the sugar bowl: "Do you want this?" He looked at the sugar bowl, picked it up gently, and showed a nostalgic look: "This is me. A birthday present for my daughter.”

"birthday present?"

The man nodded silently.

"Where is your daughter?"

"She died, during the First War of the Black Rose."

"The First Black Rose War?" Roman blinked slowly.

"how?"

She shook her head slightly: "What a terrible war. I managed to escape with great difficulty at that time."

This sentence actually made the middle-aged man stunned for a while. After a long time, he replied: "Yes, if she could escape at that time, she would be almost as old as you."

"Can you sell it to me?"

The man looked at the sugar bowl silently and nodded: "If you like it."

The business lady took out her purse, but couldn't help but raise her head a little embarrassed: "Can I pay on credit? All my money was taken away by that evil-minded woman."

The man stared at the young lady dumbfounded.

"is it not OK?"

He shook his head helplessly and put the sugar bowl in front of her with a wry smile: "Speaking of which, what is the use of money at this moment? If this thing can make you satisfied, that's enough."

Roman held the sugar bowl in both hands and nodded repeatedly: "I will take good care of it." As she said that, she glanced at the wind and snow outside and frowned slightly.

"Are you going back, little girl?" The man suddenly asked, "Where is your home? How about I take you back?"

Roman nodded, then shook his head.

"I don't have a home," she replied, "but I really have to go, that bad woman is calling me."

"Bad woman?"

Roman smiled sweetly at him.

Then she took a step forward gently, as if a door of light opened in front of her, allowing the business lady to step in. In the blink of an eye, the girl and the sugar bowl in her hand disappeared without a trace. The middle-aged man stood there dumbfounded, unable to move for a long time.

…

Yuta slowly closed his eyes, and the golden light in his eyes gradually faded.

Antitina stared closely at the magic circle, and the light in it became brighter and brighter. Suddenly, a page of black light door gradually opened. Roman walked out gently holding the sugar bowl and stepped on the snow. The soft snow could not let her sink even an inch.

She looked at the staff lady in surprise: "Hey, Antitina, why are you here?"

"Roman?" Antitina looked at the business lady in shock: "You...you changed back?"

Roman's expression calmed down and he sneered, "Of course not."

Then, under Antitina's stunned gaze, she casually threw away the sugar bowl in her hand. The glass jar rolled twice in the snow, and the two lids were knocked open. The candy wrapper decorations in the jar suddenly flew away in the cold wind and fell to the ground.

Roman breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ah, this body is getting harder and harder to use." She turned back and looked at Yuta. The female mercenary captain had passed out due to excessive blood loss.

She then turned around and smiled: "What, I'm still here. Do you really think that I let the Sasard people cause civil strife in Eruin in vain? Although that dog is a little stupid, but It’s still of some use after all.”

The Dragon of Twilight stared into Antitina's eyes. Under her intense gaze, the staff lady felt that her eyes were darkening, and a large amount of sweat oozed from her forehead. She panted slightly and replied laboriously: "You Is this just for the purpose of bewitching the Sasardians... and triggering a civil war in Eruin?"

Roman shook his head: "That's not necessarily the case, but my body has not yet awakened. If you hadn't moved too quickly, I wouldn't have had to go to such trouble."

"What...what exactly do you want to do?"

"I knew that beacon was in the hands of that guy, but it doesn't matter, just think of him as leading the way for me - but you are more important, dear Antitina, there can be many beacons, but there is only one key. Just a handful."

"Don't even think about it, uh--" Antitina's eyes suddenly widened.

Because the businesswoman leaned in almost face to face, staring into her eyes. Under Roman's long eyelashes, her beautiful eyes stared at him motionlessly. The Dusk Dragon opened his lips slightly and exhaled softly and said: "That's not necessarily true, dear Antitina, have you forgotten it? , we are friends——"

Two golden rays of light penetrated deep into the heart of the staff lady, and within a moment Antitina fell heavily to the ground.

Roman smiled and clapped her hands. She glanced at the sleeping Antitina with satisfaction and slowly came to the edge of the broken glacier. Another strange sound came from the biting cold wind. Suddenly, a crystal claw as huge as a mountain suddenly rose from under the cliff and grabbed the edge of the cliff.

A giant beast is slowly revealing its entire body. Compared with it, the business lady standing on the edge of the glacier is as small as a grain of sand.

But in front of Roman, the crystal giant slowly lowered its head.

The Dusk Dragon looked at his subordinates with a smile and said softly: "Astoni, are you tired of waiting for tens of thousands of years?"

The King of Crystal Clusters let out a low roar.

"Don't worry," she replied with a smile, pointing at Antitina and Yuta: "Take them with you."

Astoni, the king of crystal clusters, looked at her doubtfully.

"Why, do you even dare to disobey my order?"

Astoni responded in a low voice and stepped back slightly to show his submission. It raised its claws, and a circle of invisible ripples rippled in the air. Dark magic surged up from the sea of ​​elements, lifting Antitina and Yuta and placing them in its palm.

"Protect them," the Dusk Dragon replied: "Especially that little girl, they are still useful to me."

Astoni nodded.
