Chapter 501
The azure blue light collided with the frosty white power, causing ice shards to fly and snowflakes flying in all directions. Dolores pushed her sister away, letting the flying ice bullets hit the wall nearby, and then stretched out her arms to make a knife gesture amid the screams.
In line with her movements, the ice archer behind him completely separated from Dolores and shot another arrow. At the same time, the passage that Dolores was aiming at with the knife seemed to have been lifted out of thin air by a shovel. Lark Stuart, who was standing there, stumbled, but still managed to escape narrowly. .
"So weak? You are indeed not the giver. Who gave you strength?"
Dolores frowned and asked, and seeing that such an attack was effective, the minds of others also became active, and the originally depressed atmosphere was swept away. Only certain individuals were secretly observing Dolores, and in their investigations there was never a report of the sister's own powers.
"It's the fellow travelers in [Tree House] who have seen the future! And you are just a group of short-sighted guys. Dolores, you can go and die, and I will stand in front of your grave and declare my victory to you. ”
An icy blue lotus bloomed under your feet, with layers of petals overlapping each other like crystals. It was similar to what Jenkins and Alexia had seen, only smaller and purer.
After the stacked nine-layer lotus flower was formed, the ice lotus body rotated rapidly. Before anyone could stop them, multiple ice blades flooded most of the passage like a raging tide.
"Get away!"
The surviving benefactors all struggled to the front, and with all kinds of auras flashing, they barely built a barrier with no blind spots in the passage.
The rotating lotus shot out ice-blue sharp blades continuously, and the granters who maintained the barrier retreated while vomiting blood. It's not that they want to retreat, but the huge force is pushing them back.
The densely packed ice blades hit the barrier, emitting dots of cold light, and the lotus petals that were ejected everywhere filled the walls and passages in less than a second. And soon the first layer of petals on the wall was shattered by the second batch of petals ejected, and the third batch was even faster, and ice chips instantly covered the ground.
"Give me what I want, I don't want the Stuart family to bleed."
Lark Stuart strode forward, and the lotus flowers under his feet followed him. The Giver who stretched out his hands to set up the barrier and the people behind him retreated as if gliding. Ice chips flew in front of them. People shouted warnings, but they were still pushed back together, and their living space was quickly squeezed. .
"Lark, do you know what you are doing?"
The weak Salote said again, the seal in his hand faintly emitting ice-colored light. This light is the main reason why the barrier of the grantors cannot be broken.
"Of course I do, my brother, do you know that the 18th Era is coming to an end, the end is coming, and I will lead you to a greater peak."
He had an unusually enthusiastic and excited smile on his face.
"Lark, have you forgotten what your grandfather once said? Stuart exists to guard the seal. This is the responsibility of the family!"
This time it was the eldest princess who spoke, and she was huddled with her sisters.
"My sister, forget the words of those old antiques. The new era should be opened up by new ideas."
He laughed and waved his hands. The strings of runes on his face and neck continued to absorb his vitality, and there was a hint of blood in the ice lotus. After all, he is not a gifter and has no talent.
"Brother Lark, do you really want to kill us?"
The youngest boy asked crying, his cheek scratched with blood from the splashing ice.
"Brother Picasso, all this is to make Stuart greater!"
He quickened his pace again and stepped in front of the barrier. The rotating ice lotus was like a saw scratching people's last line of defense, and the rear had no retreat. The entrance to the strange hall was behind them, and the seven or eight ice sculptures standing there reminded people of the danger there.
"Lark, everything you said is just what you have seen. This world is more dangerous and complicated than you think. You have no idea what you are doing."
Dolores still said stubbornly, and the ice archer behind her almost disappeared due to the poor condition of her master.
"Oh, yes, Dolores, you do have superhuman talents. You do have more than me. But what's the use? Where are your loyal subordinates? Where are your admirers? ? Dolores, I want to see who can come to save you now?"
Strange sounds echoed in the underground corridors, and the inexplicable singing coming from the ground above made people shudder. Lark Stuart raised his hands high, and the ice crystals on the wall and ground quickly condensed, eventually forming a gun above his head.
With a wave of his hands, the ice gun shot out, and the barrier in front of everyone dissipated like bubbles. The gun penetrated the arms of the people in front and ran straight towards Dolores' face. Julia, who appeared behind Dolores at some point, wanted to push her away immediately, but in the end it was too late. An approaching cold light appeared in their eyes at the same time.
Qiang~
Amidst the heartbreaking sound, a frozen statue stood in front of Dolores. The two collided with the ice gun and exploded. The scattered ice cubes made people nearby scream belatedly, and an obvious crack appeared on the front of the ice sculpture due to the impact.
The fire was surging in the crack, like rolling lava in hell. A deep man's voice rang out from the ice and echoed in the corridor, as if it was everywhere:
"Then I will save her."
No one saw what happened next, because the dazzling green light temporarily blinded everyone's eyes. Their eyes had already adapted to the dim environment in the underground passage, and the sudden strong light made them unacceptable.
When the strong light disappeared, the corridor covered with frost was actually full of vines as thick as wrists and green carpets that almost covered the ground. No matter who it was, they felt the full vitality flowing in their bodies, and even Sallot Stuart, who was wailing in a low voice because of his broken arm, lowered his voice.
The strange man stood among them, and with him as the center, the crazy underground plants crawled out layer by layer. The man's left foot still had a light green light that had not dissipated, and the green light just now was obviously his handiwork.
After moving his shoulders, Jenkins felt his muscles were a little stiff because he had been fixed in one position for too long. But fortunately, he finally broke free, which was not an easy thing.
"Who are you? Friend, what's going on here has nothing to do with you. I have no intention..."
Lake Stuart frowned and asked, not noticing that he was facing the other party's stern gaze and was subconsciously retreating. The ice lotus under his feet still existed, but it had shrunk under the oppression of the spirit of life.
"I'm here to kill you."
"Then come and try!"
The slowly rotating ice lotus spun rapidly again the next moment, and the ice blades in the sky flew towards everyone like raindrops that could not be avoided.
Jenkins raised his hand and threw out a flame, and the fire wall blocked this round of attacks like the barrier just now. But this opaque fire wall also brought a problem, that is, no one discovered it in advance before the ice spear broke through the fire wall.
The fire wall blocked the ice blade, and the ice spear pierced Jenkins' heart with unstoppable force. But the speed of the gun was not fast, and Jenkins raised his hand and held the gun head.
"You are dead."
Lake Stuart said outside the fire wall.
"Why?"
Jenkins removed the fire wall and looked at the confident opponent.
"My power comes from the great being who wrote the contract. This power cannot be touched. Even I have to be extremely careful when using it, but you dare to take the initiative to touch it now..."
Just like Sallot Stuart just now, the white frost began to spread from the palm to the entire arm, slowly but extremely firmly. Jenkins stopped the guard who was eager to draw his sword and let the white frost spread to the heart, and then disappeared very abruptly.
He exhaled slowly, and the frost was spit out from his mouth like a long dragon, even making the people around him subconsciously dodge.
Completely remove the fire wall, raise your right hand and hold it at your side. Because of the gathering of the heart of your hand, the white and blue light flickered. At the same time, the opaque snow and translucent frost clinging to the wall trembled and then gathered towards Jenkins' palm automatically as if blown by a tornado.
They spun around the palm, and the frost and snow intertwined and woven their power, and finally condensed into a spear with complex patterns in Jenkins' palm.
This is much more beautiful than the undecorated spear thrown by Lark Stuart just now. After all, in order to cope with the need of using [Reading] in different occasions, Jenkins has recorded many different beautiful patterns in his [Book of Memories].
And obviously, what he is using now is not [Reading], but a brand new power.
"How is this possible?"
"How is this impossible?"
The two spears collided in the air. In the scattered frost flowers, Jenkins, with flames wrapped around his left hand, and Lark Stuart, with white lotuses around his feet, jumped forward at the same time. The two palms intersected, and hot and humid steam sprayed in all directions.
In the thick fog, Jenkins quickly grabbed the other's wrist, and with a light touch of his fingers, Lark's two hands were frozen in ice in the hot and humid steam.
Jenkins lightly raised his right hand surrounded by cold air, and then slapped Lark Stuart's head with one palm.
"How is this possible?"
Lake Stuart said again, he screamed madly, and his frozen hands hit Jenkins indiscriminately, but he was just an ordinary person, and Jenkins raised his hand and pushed him away.
The young blue-haired man wanted to bend down and smash the ice on the ground, but the blood flowing from his head had blurred his vision.
In the remaining seconds, he frantically fired ice blades and cold air in all directions, and the chaotic and crazy screams made people shudder. But because of Jenkins's obstruction, Lark finally did not succeed in hurting anyone.
He shouted, laughed, cursed, and even called for help from unknown beings, but it was useless. Jenkins had seen his end and loudly reminded people to hide behind him.
PS: I wish you all a happy New Year's Day in 2020! This chapter is 4K, and the chapter in the evening is also, asking for votes and everything at the beginning of the year.
Chapter 1215 Chapter 1194 Before the Square
The following scene was extremely terrifying. The wildly dancing Lark Stuart suddenly stopped, and then with a long wail, he exploded from the heart.
Cold blood and a small amount of human bones, hair, and internal organs were scattered all around, and a steady stream of white frost overflowed from the corpse. The restless spirit and the power of the riot even caused natural anomalies in a small area. Flesh and blood mixed with frost and snow squirmed, and clusters of small buds moved in the disgusting flesh mud, but they were burned by Jenkins's flames before they condensed into shape.
He walked to the largest remains of Lark Stuart's body, reached out and dug through those disgusting things, and then successfully found a frost-shaped medal.
The main body of the medal is silver metal, dotted with tiny blue gems. It is cold all over, but touching it makes people's spirits can't help but tremble, as if awakening from a sleepy exhaustion.
Jenkins has felt the power in the medal from Dolores' chess pieces and from the scrolls in the hall behind. Similarly, he now has this power. When he was frozen just now, he tried to absorb the extreme cold power that froze him, and then found that this power was very similar to the power of the chess piece at the beginning.
Jenkins's [Frost Fist] was originally derived from absorbing part of the power of the chess piece, and the power of the scroll is similar to that of the chess piece in origin. After trying to absorb it, the essence of [Frost Fist] unexpectedly transformed to a higher level.
Therefore, this red fighting ability, which was originally based on [Simple Boxing], has no connection with [Boxing] after the new evolution. But this also means that from now on, Jenkins has really achieved control over [Ice]:
[Frost Fist (Red Fighting)] → [Ice Condensation (Red Fighting)]
The ice spear just now was an attempt by Jenkins for his ability. From the current point of view, the effect is very good, which means that he can finally have a long-range attack ability in addition to [Twin Demons].
"This is the Stuart family's medal of strength. It is said that it is a proof of the power that the ancestors obtained from the royal family of the Northern Kingdom at that time, which is older than the ancient Hikari Empire... Shouldn't it be in the frame in the collection room?"
The young girl close to Jenkins said so. This is also a princess of the royal family, but Jenkins couldn't recognize which one it was.
"It must have been Lark who stole it!"
Dolores walked to Jenkins, and then naturally took the medal handed over by Jenkins. This is why an ordinary person Lark can also use extraordinary power. It looks similar to the way the [Ice Messenger] stuffed the chess piece into his head.
But he is not a gifter after all, and it is predictable that the power will go out of control and explode and die.
Dolores' actions show that the man who killed Lark belongs to her camp, and her brothers and sisters cannot object to her taking the medal for herself.
Now, whether they understand the mission of the Stuart family or not, they all understand that some items inherited from the family are of great significance. And mastering these items is likely to be one of the important factors in the king's election.
"Are you not injured?"
Jenkins asked Dolores, who shook his head and glanced at his eldest brother, but did not let Jenkins treat him, or even let Jenkins treat the still unconscious King.
The hall where the crystal stone and parchment roll are sealed cannot be entered, and because a large number of snowmen were killed by Lark, people can retreat to a relatively safe position in the passage.
During this period, Jenkins got intermittent news from the Stuart children. Although no one knew about Lark's plan in advance, at least a few people had scattered news, and they could draw some conclusions by piecing them together.
"So it's the tree house again this time? The plan started only two months ago, not a long time ago. No one knows about the two steam cannons. Could it be that Lark Stuart's last trump card for the throne?"
Jenkins muttered to himself. He originally thought that this was another plan that lasted for more than ten years.
"The archer's chess piece returned to the Kingdom of Hampavo only a few months ago. The king's election does not seem to require all seven items, but it does need to open the seal. No matter how carefully the tree house is planned, it is impossible to anticipate such a thing in advance."
Dolores leaned on Jenkins' arm and whispered.
Suddenly the ground shook, and the soil above his head fell layer by layer. The group became nervous. If the passage collapsed, everyone here would be buried alive.
"It's okay."
Jenkins grabbed Dolores's hand and comforted her carefully. He could clearly see the spiritual light of the ceremony above him becoming stronger and stronger.
Now everyone is located below the Senate Square. According to Sallot Stuart's introduction, this is the underground shelter of the Senate building complex, but the area is definitely not so large.
"No one would design the underground shelter facility to look like a maze. According to my understanding, the area here is not larger than the main building of the Senate above, and there is no layering."
Salot Stuart's left arm was broken. Although the bleeding has stopped, the situation is still not good.
"I heard from my grandfather that the seal that the family is responsible for guarding is underground in Loen City. The structure of Loen's main body, the distribution of those streets, buildings and even residential areas, are actually part of the sealing ceremony. It is very likely that the seal is not a real location, but an alien space underground in Loen, and the "Tree House" that Lark just mentioned used some means to connect the alien space with the underground shelter."
This is what Dolores' eldest sister, the eldest princess of the kingdom, said. She is trying her best to put aside her relationship with the [Tree House]. In the eyes of the eldest princess, although the organization is very powerful, there will be no consequences for cooperating with a madman.
The eldest prince and the eldest princess know the most about the secrets of the Stuart family, and they are both rational and strategic people. Without Dolores, the final battle for the throne will definitely break out between these two. .
Her Royal Highness the Princess is 27 years old and still unmarried. When she was looking for a refuge, she deliberately approached Jenkins, but was blocked by Dolores.
Jenkins certainly knew what this woman wanted to do, and he also admitted that Her Royal Highness Yanni Stuart was beautiful, but he had not given up on his plan to have a friendship with Dolores.
"There is no way up. When I came down, I happened to encounter someone who blew up all the upward passages. If you want to dig out the disconnected passages, the difficulty is no less than digging directly up the ground. I think we have to come up with something Other methods... I’m afraid it’s too late.”
According to Lark Stuart, the so-called ritual of summoning the great being is divided into two parts: the above ground and the underground. The above ground part collects corpses for blood sacrifices, and the underground part is performed by Lark Stuart with the Stuart family's tokens. Use the blood descendants of your family as the key to open the sealed terrible contract.
The underground part is now impossible to complete, but the above-ground part is still going on, and Jenkins is worried about what kind of trouble the wrong ritual could eventually call out.
"Where are the people from the Orthodox Church? Where are the gift-givers responsible for guarding the seal?"
Jenkins asked again, but no one could answer the question.
"Then what should we do now? We can't all stay underground forever..."
Yanni Stuart tried to find a suitable title to call Jenkins, but she didn't know Jenkins' name.
"Mr. Hercule Poirot, M. Poirot is my friend."
Dolores said, leaning against Jenkins.
"Okay, then Mr. Poirot, do you have any good ideas?"
"It's difficult to walk up from the ground. You can only dig a passage from the ground downwards. Dolores, you wait here, I'll go and discuss it with Ya...I'll go discuss it with others, soon return."
As he spoke, he handed the spiritual magnet to the girl, and then nodded to Julia. His body unconsciously leaned back, but before falling completely to the ground, he turned into a shadow and disappeared.
Alexia was still isolated from the inner barrier. When Jenkins appeared beside her, the short lady was still trying to analyze the composition of the barrier with the blue cube.
She was not surprised by Jenkins' sudden appearance, but asked calmly while continuing her movements:
"Are Dolores and Julia okay?"
