Chapter 359: Unbearable Imprint of Friendship
Chapter 359 359. Unbearable Imprint of Friendship
Preparing for a rainy day is a very good virtue.
Ivy certainly would not refuse, and it gave a special magic pattern to Croa.
"Having this magic pattern can prove your identity."
"The name of this priest is Cassandra."
"She should be the only priest of the goddess Athena who can be found now, and only exists on the Ring of Creation."
When saying this, it seemed to "look" at Mia several times intentionally or unintentionally, as if it meant something.
Croa didn't quite understand, but still looked at Mia and blinked: "Teacher, you will definitely not refuse me, right?"
The latter looked helpless: "She should be related to Medusa who was imprisoned in the Ark at the beginning, and it is a different branch of history."
Mentioning Medusa, Croa immediately remembered her legend.
Legend has it that Athena's priest was favored by Poseidon, and then did some things in the temple that were inconvenient to describe. The pure Athena angrily turned the priest into a monster with snake hair, and later a hero chopped off his head and made it a trophy.
How to say it, it's actually quite miserable.
Being forced by a god is already a very unlucky thing, but the god you believe in actually curses you. If this matter gets out, it will simply be a black material for Athena.
However, he also knows that it is only one version of the legend, and there are also people who say that it is a natural monster - legends are like this, there are many versions, but if you have to say it, the most bizarre version is the most popular.
There is Medusa in the Ark, and Kloya is not very surprised. After all, Treden has quietly complained to him about Mia's "bad behavior" of exploiting child labor and torturing him with Medusa.
"So who is that Cassandra?" he asked curiously, "I don't think I've heard of her legend."
Ivy replied, "She is also a priestess of the goddess Athena. In a battle, she was insulted by a hero named Ajax the Younger. In the end, the goddess Athena destroyed the latter with Zeus's thunderbolt."
"In fact, Athena is a goddess who protects her shortcomings."
"For the mortals she favors, she is even willing to use some special means, even if the opponent is a god."
"From your point of view, it seems that Athena and Dionysus have a good relationship?" Kloya's understanding of ancient Greek stories is actually limited to some basic and widely circulated stories, and she really doesn't know more deeply.
"It's okay." Ivy was a little nostalgic: "I really want to taste the wine of Lord Dionysus again..."
"Isn't the magic field vine the god of wine?"
"Well... Speaking of which, the vine didn't come this time."
Kloya suddenly discovered something very important. This time he was trapped, and the vine didn't appear-it should have come.
"Doesn't it love me anymore?"
"..."
Mia rubbed her forehead with great difficulty and actually felt a headache.
But He was indeed very curious about why the vines didn't come this time, so He suggested: "Let's go see it?"
Kloya casually pulled out the magic grid of the entire North Territory and scanned it. It turned out that the magic fluctuations of the magic field vines were actually in the same position as the light spots of Sunflower and Pandora.
That is...
The location of the Flametail Farm.
"Well, could it be, that dog?" Kloya thought.
Ivy suddenly said: "I feel that there may be something important over there, it is friendship!"
...
The rain curtain that lingered over half of the Kingdom of Nolant finally dissipated.
The pain of being surrounded by humidity and unable to breathe in the rain curtain seemed to have passed. Sean, who was busy on the farm, exhaled gently, but was reluctant to let the rain curtain leave.
He stood in the farm full of sunshine, but his heart was full of hesitation.
It has been fifteen years since he came to the North Territory.
In the past fifteen years, he has worked hard to build the Flametail Farm. From the time he first arrived, he has now secured the position of the farm owner and has been rewarded by Croa.
To be honest, he is also considered to be in the upper middle class of Croa's power.
It is actually very good to have a generous leader appreciate him and be able to do what he likes.
But he has been very distressed recently.
Because of his dog, Robert.
Although the Flametail is a monster, they are only level one monsters, and their foundation is not very good. In addition, they often go out with him to fight, and their bodies are seriously damaged.
The once smooth fur has become dull, and there is some gray in the eyes. Usually, they don't like to move much, and even eat very little of their favorite food. Sometimes they even respond very slowly to his calls.
The time he didn't walk much was so obvious in his partner.
At that time, he had already keenly realized that his partner and friend who had been with him for more than ten years was about to leave-of course, he didn't want to accept such a result, so he went to beg and found many people.
Of course he could get some precious things with his status.
But in order to ensure that everything was safe, he even went to ask Kloa for help and got a few bottles of sunshine potion infused with the Fountain of Life from Kloa. With these potions, it would be easy to extend his life.
But what he didn't expect was...
He gave those bottles of sunshine potion to Robert, but the latter fed them to his children. He taught his children extremely strictly, and it could be said that he took him with him to teach him almost all the time.
Its children were indeed quite ambitious and quickly learned all the skills of their father, so much so that when Sean saw it, he would always hallucinate the young Robert.
His heart became increasingly heavy.
Until the rain curtain fell, Robert suddenly left his nest made of velvet grass and entered directly into the rain curtain. After Sean learned the news, his heart sank severely and he put down his work. I looked for it immediately, but couldn't find it.
Even when the rain stopped, they couldn't find it.
"well."
"Where are you?"
"..."
Sean sighed deeply and was very reluctant to leave the rain curtain.
When he was in the rain, he felt that the world was only that big. As long as he looked for it, he would be able to find it sooner or later. But when the rain curtain left, he looked at the vast world, and suddenly he didn't know how to find his partner.
Even the usual feeling of being connected has disappeared without a trace.
"Can we just go back?"
He was very unwilling, but he also knew that if Robert wanted to hide, it would be really difficult to find him - this farm had been completely explored by him in fifteen years, and these flame-tailed dogs knew more about him than he did. Every plant and tree here.
Just when he was about to give up, there was suddenly a strange magic wave coming from a distance. It was a golden-red magic wave that was exactly the same as the "sun" he saw falling from the sky just now.
It was like guiding him.
In fact, he should be cautious, but for some reason, he instinctively followed the fluctuations of magic power and walked over, crossed a hillside, and then crossed a stream. It took a lot of effort to finally reach an extremely dangerous place. A hidden valley surrounded by mountain peaks.
This place seems to be only one or two hundred meters at most, but because it is hidden among the green vegetation of the mountain peaks, it is full of vitality and has an indescribable peaceful beauty.
It is here that clusters of crystal-clear grapevines grow in the cracks in the valley above our heads.
They grow extremely luxuriantly, covering the upper part of the valley. They not only hide the place, but also filter the sunlight, turning it into a beautiful but deep paradise.
If it weren't for the guidance of magic, Sean would not have known that there was such a place here, let alone that the legendary magic field grapevines that nourished most of the human world were actually here.
After entering here, the mental connection that was about to be severed was restored. The mental power conveyed an extremely weak consciousness with the aura of death and pleading.
At this moment, he took a deep breath.
Looking into the distance - there is a figure standing directly under the grape vine, seeming to be looking down at a slightly off-white red shadow below.
"Robert!"
Sean's eyes suddenly shone brightly, and tears flashed in his eyes. He wanted to run over, but before he could take a few steps, he was blocked by some hanging crystal-like grapevines.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
The hanging leaves of the slender grapevine were like a wall, and he knew that he would not be able to get past the magic brewing inside.
But seeing his friend not far away, he gritted his teeth and planned to rush over.
It was at this time that a golden-red light accompanied by a warm voice sounded: "It doesn't want you to see what it looks like now, Sean."
The sunflower popped up from the side. There was nothing I could do about it. If it didn't come out again, this guy would definitely bump into it. The Magic Field Grape Vine wouldn't care who you are.
"Master Sunflower!" Sean quickly begged after seeing it: "Just let me go and take a look, just take a look!"
There was hopelessness and pleading in his tone, and he was not at all as high-spirited as usual, as if he would collapse if he rejected him.
But Sunflower could only refuse him.
"It rejected Eden."
"Rejected my grease."
"Even rejected his father's symphony."
The center of the flower plate stared at Sean closely: "Do you know why?"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
Sean's heart was full of bitterness, and he couldn't hold on any longer. He squatted on the ground, covered his eyes and choked, of course he knew, he knew everything.
In the world of flame-tailed dogs, "needing to be taken care of" is one thing that makes them feel frustrated. They are fearless and will stand in front of their owners to block all dangers.
But they do not allow themselves to be taken care of - some disabled flame-tailed dogs will even self-destruct.
These loyal and brave partners also have the most "cold" hearts. As long as they feel that they are going to die, they will not accept anything more and quietly wait for death to come.
Perhaps in their eyes, their teeth are no longer sharp, their claws have fallen off, and their bodies have become old, which is already a burden.
Sean has seen too many people send away their partners. From that time on, he was worried and trying to climb up, hoping to get a "miracle" in this world with his own strength.
——Cloya did give him this miracle.
But his partner rejected the miracle.
"Alas." Sunflower sighed slightly. It could feel the pain and fear in Sean's heart. Robert was not only his friend, but also his relative, even his only relative.
But it had no way to help.
Robert had rejected Eden, Symphony and its light, and even refused to eat the grapes from the vines in the magic field, but... why did it attract Pandora?
It felt strange and couldn't help looking.
The clay puppet made by the god was squatting beside Robert, who was already on his deathbed. His slender fingers gently stroked the latter's fur and whispered:
"Why?"
"You made a wish to me."
"Aren't you afraid of the rain curtain?"
As a puppet made by the gods, she was close to the gods in a sense. She could hear prayers and feel faith, but this was the first time she felt such a clear prayer.
She was hope, a hidden hope, a hope that wanted to hide. No one would like her, and no one would even want to see her.
"...Woof."
Robert made a sound with difficulty, then stretched out his head and looked at his master. After a few seconds, he lowered his head silently and made the last "Woof".
Life has completely left, the gray of death occupied his eyes, and the flame on his tail that burned with life slowly extinguished.
Pandora did not move.
Until a long time later, she suddenly stretched out her hand and pressed her fingers on Robert's body. The gray feathers and rain curtain rose briefly, leading to a new group of red magic patterns.
If Kloya was here, he would definitely be able to find that this was what he saw on Sean and Robert at the beginning, representing the friendship imprint of spiritual connection.
At this moment, it has been completely formed, like a simple sketch of a boy and a dog standing side by side drawn with immature strokes, lightly flashing with powerful magic.
Pandora looked directly at the crystallization of magic power, and gently touched it with her fingers. The magic power that belonged to her and could cover everything instantly wiped out Robert's head portrait.
Only she can erase the "existence" without affecting the integrity of such things.
"Okay, I promise you."
"You are the only one who prays to me, you will be my only beloved, and the beloved who does not exist."
Then she slowly walked to Sean and leaned down: "Here, this is what your friend asked me to give you."
The latter raised his tear-stained face, but his eyes became a little confused when he saw the engraving. He could feel that some memories were fading in the rain and finally disappeared completely.
The crystal condensed by blood and magic in his hand was shining, warm like the furry and warm little guy in countless nights.
But...
Who is the little guy?
Who is... Robert.
Sean opened his mouth wide, not knowing what to cry for, but feeling very, very wanting to cry. In his gradually blurred vision, only Pandora's gradually receding figure remained.
"It told me to tell you that it wants to be a little selfish. It has already taught its child to be like it, and it will be able to accompany you in the future."
"Just... forget about it."
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Chloe, Mia and Ivy standing not far away.
The expressions of the one, the Ring of Glory and the Demonic Plant were quite complicated.
