Chapter 175 Just Moonlight

Chapter 176 Just Moonlight

In the sky outside the hospital, a faint hymn echoed.

The heavy rain instantly covered the world, extinguished the flames in the lower city, extinguished the last ray of fire, and made the world dark.

Occasionally, there was a flash of crazy lightning, illuminating the hideous silhouette of Arkham Asylum.

In the pouring rain, Jerome stared at the hospital in front of him silently, his eyes gloomy.

In his hand, the ether ball glowed with a faint light, and dozens of dim light spots flickered in it. They were the royal musicians swallowed by the darkness.

Those light spots were swaying, gathering together in the same place, fighting against the darkness, like a candle in the wind, and several light spots had been completely extinguished.

Jerome's brows slowly frowned, and his palm pressed the suitcase beside him.

As an experienced conductor, he did not move rashly.

If he was outside, he could still detect the situation at any time and provide help to his subordinates when necessary, but if he rushed in rashly at this time, he was afraid that if something happened, the whole army would be wiped out.

However, if the situation did not improve in another three minutes, he would use the royal secret order to open the suitcase and take out the sealed things inside.

It was a musical instrument made of the skeleton of a saint. Once the power in it was awakened, the scepter could be temporarily obtained.

However, all those who used it would be corroded by the strongest power first, and those with weaker endurance would die on the spot. Even if it was himself, if he used it once, he would probably be knocked down a level and there would be no hope of making further progress in his life.

This price was too heavy.

As time passed, darkness surged, and the hymns became more hoarse and crazy, he could not wait any longer and finally made up his mind.

But at this moment, the ether ball in his hand suddenly changed.

In an instant, the light spots that were like candles in the wind trembled, suddenly extinguished, and all the light spots disappeared.

As if they were swallowed up by a monster in an instant, their connection was completely interrupted, and no matter what method was used, they could not be reconnected.

Jerome was stunned there, with a flash of horror in his eyes:

What on earth is going on?

Then, his pupils were stung, illuminated by the sudden burst of fierce light in the ether ball.

He saw that a huge ether tide emerged in the dark chaos, the tide disturbed all the ether fluctuations, completely covered all the noise, and set off a strange and ten-thousand-foot wave in the sea of ​​ether.

In an instant, the complex changes exceeded the limit of the ether ball.

It became overloaded and hot, and even the rain that fell on it was evaporated into water vapor and drifted away. Jerome's face changed and he threw the ether ball out.

In midair, the ether ball made of heavy gold exploded into pieces, but Jerome no longer had the heart to feel sorry for it.

In the overwhelming rainstorm, he raised his head in astonishment and looked up at the boiling darkness:

"What the hell is this...?"

-

"——!!!"

Just above Arkham Hospital, the dancing darkness was stiff at this moment, like a dead snake in severe pain, twitching in pain, and gradually expanding.

The hymn stopped abruptly and turned into the dying roar of a giant beast.

The scream containing despair and madness awakened the city in the dream, and made the frightened people get up from the bed, trembling with fear.

Someone carefully opened the window and stared at the place where the roar came from.

They saw the darkness twisting like a living thing, struggling madly, and expanding rapidly. Until finally, it shattered with a bang!

It was killed.

Destruction from the inside out, wailing and disappearing without a trace.

Something was brewing in the darkness, breaking through the blockades and rising to the sky!

Wherever it passed, all darkness was exterminated and driven away, the crazy hymns disappeared without a trace, and the anger of the evil god could not suppress it, but was driven back to the abyss by it.

It was a pure white glow like a bright moon!

As everyone looked up, the pure white moon rose from the earth and headed towards the sky.

Wherever the light reached, the torrential rain stopped abruptly. Wherever the moonlight went, the dark clouds in the sky retreated. Even the turbulent sea became peaceful.

The moonlight shone everywhere.

All the noise turned into silence at this moment, the turmoil and unrest disappeared without a trace, and everyone's mind was settled as never before.

No longer afraid, no longer at a loss, just intoxicated in the moonlight, intoxicated in this clear and gentle glow.

Under the moonlight, Jerome was already sweating profusely.

He resisted the power in the moonlight, but his mind was in a mess.

"Whose music is this? Just the resonance with the Great Source almost built a scepter in the etheric world..."

He muttered to himself, trying his best to recall this familiar power.

There was a name that kept lingering in his memory, but he couldn't remember it no matter what. It should be the first time he saw it, but why, why did his palms tremble? !

That person, that person...

Who is it? !

"Zheng——!"

A cold voice came from behind him. It was the sound of drawing a sword. The blade and the scabbard rubbed against each other, trembling, and chirping!

The sound of the sword chirping was like a lion's roar, and the aftertaste penetrated into his mind, waking him up from the chaos!

The nightmare was finally over.

Jerome staggered back, panting violently, and did not even dare to look at the clear brilliance of the moonlight again. Behind him, someone held his shoulders.

Jerome turned around and saw the emaciated knight in iron armor.

The knight's whole body was covered in a huge armor, making it difficult to see his face. Heavy armor covered his body, majestic and heavy.

Under the moonlight, the edges of the armor were so hideous that people dared not look directly at them.

In the knight's other hand, he held a strange long sword. It was the sound of the sword that woke Jerome out of the chaos.

The long sword was shaped like a huge cross and looked like it was forged from two iron bars. It was heavy and rough, but when held in the knight's hand, it faintly exuded a sense of power.

Seeing him, Jerome calmed down and stopped panicking.

collapse!

Under his earnest gaze, the knight drew his sword, took three steps forward in the moonlight, held the sword upside down in his hand, and suddenly nailed it into the stone slab.

"——In the name of a knight, we will eradicate all evil heretics and evil thoughts!"

Under the visor, there was a stern and majestic voice of declaration. The voice clearly came from a woman, but it was not gentle at all, and it only made people feel solemn.

Immediately afterwards, a grand and thick bell rang from the distance, and the huge barrier covering the entire Avalon was awakened, and invisible power gathered like a torrent.

Brilliance is like the rays of the scorching sun, falling from the sky!

The light shines on the long sword, and the blade pierces into the darkness of the earth.

That is the resonance of the Avalon Barrier, which directly attracts God-given power from the core of the Palace of Westminster - the 'Elizabeth Bell Tower'.

Any power from outside the barrier will be driven away without mercy, even natural disasters and evil gods!

The moment the light fell on the blade, the blade erupted with the roar of a red dragon.

The roar echoed in the moonlight, awakening all the people in the underground palace wearing royal musician badges from their intoxication.

Those who were sluggish regained their senses.

They were sweating profusely and stared at each other in confusion. They didn't know what happened just now, but they only remembered that they were sleeping in peace, as if they could sleep forever.

Soon the search resumed again.

This time, there was no resistance.

The demons in the underground palace were still immersed in their sleep and were killed one by one. The power of the blood sacrifice had been completely dispelled and could no longer be an obstacle.

Until finally, they smashed the door of the final laboratory to find the culprit.

But the space behind the door was empty.

The waiting royal musicians looked at each other in confusion, not understanding what was going on here.

Whether it was Holmes, the professor, or the hallucinatory sound of the piano... they all disappeared without a trace.

…

In the sky, the pure white moon still hangs high, emitting a cold glow, illuminating the world.

Even though that weird power has dissipated without a trace, it still looks so beautiful and dazzling.

“In this case, its power will be isolated from the Great Barrier of Avalon.

This kind of vision that resonates with the great source cannot exist for too long. It will dissipate after a while, so there is no need to worry about it. "

The Knights of the Round Table said so and sheathed their swords, but Jerome was still frightened.

"Knight Commander Galahad, thank you for your help."

He saluted the knight by stroking his chest.

"It's your job."

The knight known as 'Galahad' returned the favor, "Even if I don't take action, Lord Jerome will not be afraid of this."

Jerome smiled bitterly and shook his head, not knowing where to start.

He looked up at the breathtakingly beautiful moon and asked softly: "Do you know what the strange moonlight was like just now?"

"moonlight?"

Galahad was silent for a moment, seeming to sigh:

"It's just moonlight."

That's the moonlight of the past.

——

"There is a bright moon on the sea. It's been a long time since we saw it."

In the cemetery, the shaman looked up at the sky, not afraid of the soul-stirring magic power: "Ye Lanzhou's Chapter of Destiny...it's been ten years, and it's still stunning."

"Is this really just a prologue?"

Guishou looked up at the bright moon in trance, but felt that his mind was being absorbed by the moonlight, so he quickly looked away.

"That's right, it's just a prologue. He used this to break through the distortion level back then, with a scepter connected to his body and mind, and a peerless piano on his shoulders. His grace was like the moon, and he was famous all over the world.

If it weren't for his sensitive status, he would almost be able to be ranked as a saint. "

The shaman lowered his eyes and looked down at the mud at his feet. Seeing such beautiful moonlight falling into the mud pond, his eyes were filled with melancholy:

"It's a pity that he trusted the wrong person..."

-

Under the same moonlight, some people were melancholy, while others clapped their hands and cheered excitedly.

"You are worthy of the bright moon rising above the sea! You are worthy of all the efforts I have put in behind your back!"

In the clock shop, Hermes couldn't help but beam with joy as he admired the moonlight, looking like he was just watching the fun and not taking it too seriously.

"So, the turmoil that lasted for several months came to a perfect end tonight. It's a joy to congratulate, but a pity to congratulate!"

Looking at him, I just wanted to open a bottle of champagne. Well, he did open it. The smell of wine was fragrant. I guess it was some kind of famous brand.

Unfortunately, Bai Xi is not interested in this. She just looked at Hermes with doubt in her eyes: "Is it really all over?"

"Of course."

Hermes nodded: "The shaman won, the parliament failed, the Blood Road signpost was shattered, and even the vision of 'a bright moon rising from the sea' was created by that kid.

Is there any problem that has not been solved?"

"There is another problem."

Bai Xi looked at him and asked coldly: "In the beginning, who was the person who said that he had the key to the Blood Road and was hunted by the city's underworld?"

"Of course it was me!"

Hermes pointed at his face and praised himself as a matter of course:

"Think about it, in the whole Avalon, except for me, except for the trader who never lies, who else has such great power to make everyone believe that the shaman came back for the Blood Road and the key to the Blood Road is on that kid?"

So, the coldness in Bai Xi's eyes became stronger: "You want to kill him?"

"No! Of course not! You misunderstood me, Bai Xi, why don't you always treat me as a good person? Look how good the teacher is to you!"

Hermes shook his head in pain and sighed in a pretentious manner, but his expression was not depressed at all. Instead, he put his feet on the counter, raised his head and poured half a bottle of champagne into his mouth.

The wine flowed from the corner of his mouth, soaking his clothes, but he didn't care, just wiped his mouth:

"To be honest, I also like this kid very much! After all, I was good friends with his father back then. Over the years, I have watched him grow up. Even if he is far away from the border thousands of miles away, thousands of miles away from the town of Ruth, I have always cared about him, woo woo woo...

Don't look at me so unreliable, I wish he could wake up and break the barrier of knowledge and perception, play the chapter of fate, ascend to the heart and soul, rank as a saint, beat Bach, and become the best musician in the world!

But he is so slow, He never makes progress, which makes me, his uncle, a little anxious.

I have no choice but to add a little pressure on him. ”

Hermes spread his hands, looking innocent: "Look, people are forced to do things. He is so powerful now, he is almost becoming a new legend of Avalon!"

Bai Xi looked at him coldly with disgust: "Actually, you are just having fun, right?"

"Ahaha, I am such a person in your mind, which really makes me sad. I am not a trader, a trader who never tells lies."

Hermes laughed, raised his head and drank the wine, and drank the champagne in the bottle.

However, he did not say the second half of the sentence:

-Besides, hasn't the key to the blood road always been in his hands?
