Chapter 153: Promise(1/2)
In Shenglun City of the Golden Shield Empire, Qingkong welcomed its first visitor since the artifact appeared.
Theresa, the Precursor of the Sacred Scripture, is now one of the archangels of Sky City, but the unique pride and momentum of an archangel cannot be seen in her, and even the flying angel of the Holy Judgment Angel is missing from her eyes.
It was profound, as if she had seen through things in a short period of time that she could not understand in a thousand years.
As before, Theresia and Qingkong were sitting by the window drinking tea. An angel and an elf formed a harmonious picture.
Theresia asked: "You must have noticed the appearance of the artifact."
Qingkong took a sip of tea and replied: "The power that fills the world can be felt by even the most ordinary citizens. The five washings of the soul are indeed an artifact that has been remembered by the five major civilizations. It makes me feel that I am
How insignificant."
"The artifact is in the abyss!"
"Yes."
"You already knew it!"
"I accidentally used the Book of Disaster once, and accidentally caused the power of the artifact to leak, and then I was captured by Sky City."
Theresia showed an expression that was indeed true, and continued to ask: "What is the reason for this time? Let the five major artifacts emit power at the same time."
Qingkong put down the tea cup and replied: "This time it has nothing to do with me. It's probably because the Shuojin people raided Shenjing City."
The news of the Battle of Deep Well City had not yet spread, so when Theresa heard the news, she was suddenly stunned.
"What did you say? The Shuojin people raided Shenjing City! That is the core of the Shadow Clan. The current Shuojin people don't have this strength."
"The news is definitely true. The Dark Chief died, Deep Well City fell, and most of the Shadow Clan were killed or injured. For a long time in the future, the Shadow Civilization will no longer be the protagonist of world disputes."
Theresia still couldn't believe what she heard.
"How is this possible? The Shuojin Civilization and the Shadow Civilization have the same level of strength. How could the battle between them be hidden from the entire world? I haven't heard any news in Sky City."
Qingkong poured herself another cup of honey tea: "That's because the Shuojin people have developed a weapon that is extremely deadly to the Shadow Clan."
"What weapon?"
Qingkong explained the principle of the mental wave knife to Theresia, and then said: "This kind of mental wave knife has no lethality to any other race in the world, but can only kill the shadow race."
It took a while for Theresa to recover from the shocking news, and she said with emotion: "During the ancient war, both the Sparklings and the Angels tried their best to deal with the assassination of the Shadow Clan. Unexpectedly, the Shadow Clan was finally destroyed.
Under the technology of human civilization.
I really don’t know what else humans will create in the future that will amaze the world.”
Qingkong said: "Human civilization makes me addicted to it...I can't extricate myself."
"But also let the Sword of Oath regard human civilization as a threat to ancient civilization." Theresia reminded Qingkong, and then talked about the artifact: "You must have guessed the purpose of my coming to you this time. I want to
Entering the abyss to find a sculpture of light, please look at our friendship and open the abyss for me..."
Qingkong looked at Theresia and asked: "You are the one who proposed to the Sword of Oath to enter the abyss, right?"
"Yes!" Theresia answered very simply.
"An angel with a will to die." Qingkong stretched out his hand and summoned the Book of Disaster: "The world has too many misunderstandings about it, thinking that it will only bring disaster. Only I know its correct path. I have never taken the initiative
Use it to open an abyss that even now I don't want to open, especially if I have to watch my cherished friends go into the abyss.
Your chances of coming back alive from the abyss are infinitely close to zero."
"I know that the abyss is the source of all chaos and the end of everything in the world. But I must go and find the Statue of Light."
Seeing Theresia's firm attitude, Qingkong had no choice but to say: "Okay, this is your choice. As a friend, all I can do is support you.
But the abyss cannot be opened in Shenglun City, ordinary people cannot withstand the pollution of the abyss energy."
"Where do you want to open the abyss."
Qingkong thought about it and said, "Let's go to the Moonlight Palace."
Theresia asked in surprise: "When the abyss is opened in the Moonlight Court, are you not afraid that the energy of the abyss will pollute the world?"
Qingkong smiled: "In my opinion, opening the abyss under the World Tree will have the smallest impact on the outside world. When I obtained the Book of Disaster, I promised my mentor Willred... that I would never
Open the abyss.
Now that I have to do something that violates my promise, I can only do my best to minimize the harm."
Theresia didn't know how the power of the World Tree could suppress the energy of the abyss, but for her, as long as she could enter the abyss, other things were not important to her who was ready to give up her life.
"When are we going to the Moonlight Palace?"
Qingkong picked up the honey tea and drank it: "You go to the temple of the Moonlight Palace and wait for me first. I still have some things to deal with. And I can't open the abyss just for you, nor can anyone want to enter the abyss. I will do it for you."
He opens the door. All brave men who want to enter the abyss enter together, I want to minimize the risk."
The discovery of the artifact has alarmed the whole world, and the Book of Disaster is in Qingkong's hands again. Creatures all over the world who want to enter the abyss to find the artifact are probably on their way to Shenglun City.
If someone comes and opens an abyss for him, even the world tree cannot contain the pollution leaked.
"There is no reason for me to enjoy the opportunity to enter the abyss alone. I will go to the Moonlight Palace to wait for you now. I hope you can arrive soon."
After saying that, Theresia drank all the tea in the cup, then spread her wings and flew up, flying through the open skylight.
An angel feather fell down and slowly fell into the clear sky's outstretched hand while circling.
"The beginning that caused all this must eventually have an end."
Qingkong collected the feathers and called Zhan Funi: "I have an urgent matter and need to leave here immediately. From today on, all those who ask about the Book of Disaster, you ask them to go to the Moonlight Palace, and say that I will be under the World Tree.
Open the abyss.
If you want to find the artifact, go to the Moonlight Palace and wait for me."
"Yes, Miss Qingkong. Miss, where are you going?"
"The Holy Mountain of Tedga Hills, I have something in the hands of the last apostle of the Temple of the Abyss. It's time to return it to me!"
After heading to Tedga Hills in Clear Sky to find the Temple of the Abyss to assemble the Gate of the Abyss, Luke flew across the ocean and finally returned to the City of St. Lun.
At this time, the news about the Shuojin people's attack on Gruzelei Deep Well City had spread falsely.
Most people think this is an extremely absurd rumor. If the Shuojin people really attacked Shenjing City, how could the world be so quiet? The World Bank should be facing a formidable enemy, and the Shadow Clan should go around assassinating the Shuojin people.
However, the World Bank still aims at the Golden Shield Empire and continues to escalate the fight.
Therefore, when Luke entered the palace and held a private meeting with Queen Christina and Agatha, Queen Christina did not even mention a word about the Battle of Deep Well City.
Part of the reason is that she doesn't believe this. No matter how arrogant the Shuojin people are, they will never open the Shadow Clan's front again when dealing with the Golden Shield Empire.
The more important reason is that the Shuojin people's pressure on the empire is rapidly increasing.
Since the reorganization of the Shuojin Presbytery, the World Bank's external strategy has been significantly adjusted. In the past, although the World Bank intervened in the politics of other countries, it did so in an overt manner. Everyone knows what the World Bank has done, but they all take it for granted.
No direct evidence.
Since Tan took over the Presbytery, the World Bank no longer even needs this fig leaf.
For countries that did not obey the Golden Shield Empire, the World Bank changed from economic coercion to military intimidation. Such a large number of grassroots countries clearly supported the World Bank, and the sanctions against the Golden Shield Empire began to have an effect.
If Luke hadn't been holding the energy stick tightly from the beginning, the empire's economy would have been in crisis.
Also, the World Bank escalated the war in the Yate County League, and the Shuojin people forced the members of the International League to donate money and materials to the Yate County League, and also donated newly built new warships to the Yate County League for free.
This wave of powerful blood transfusion immediately made the Yate County United become nervous.
After completing a full-scale war mobilization, the Yate County Alliance troops on the defensive launched a large-scale counterattack against the Imperial Snow Legion.
"Now the Snow Legion has all returned to the south of the border." The tense war made Queen Christina look worried: "There is news that the figure of the Shining Gold appeared on the battlefield and launched an attack on the Snow Legion. I have already
A group of golden shield warriors were mobilized to form the Snow Legion, but the number of golden shield warriors was still too small.
If the Shuojin people really participate in the war directly, I'm afraid the Snow Army will not be able to withstand it."
Agatha continued: "According to the intelligence obtained by the Secret Intelligence Service, after acquiring a batch of new all-metal battleships, the Art County Alliance Navy showed signs of going south to attack the Imperial Fleet.
Although the Imperial Fleet's Dreadnought-class battleships still have a leading advantage in all aspects, the number of Atre County Alliance's ships is simply too many...several times ours."
As she spoke, Agatha handed Luke a pile of compiled information, and whispered: "There are also artifacts. If the artifact returns, the empire will be at a comprehensive disadvantage. There has been some turmoil within the palace recently, and everyone is worried about having the artifact together."
The artifact's Shinojin fights."
Luke looked at the information and answered: "The artifact will definitely return, but it will never come back easily. The Shadow Tribe was almost wiped out by the Shining Gold people, and the fluorescent star cluster only shook. This shows that the conditions for the return of the artifact are still there.
Immature.”
Queen Christina and Agatha thought they had heard something extraordinary.
Agatha asked: "What did you just say? The Shadow Clan was almost wiped out by the Sparkling People! Are the rumors true... The Sparkling People really attacked the Shadow Clan.
You didn’t…”
Agatha stopped in time and did not reveal that Luke was the King of the Dragon Kingdom.
Luke answered casually: "I will tell you more about the Shuojin people's attack on Deep Well City when I have time. Our focus now should be on the war against the Yate County Alliance.
The Snow Legion cannot retreat any longer, as any further retreat will affect international confidence in the Golden Shield Empire, thus causing a serious economic crisis."
Queen Christina said: "The Royal First Magic Legion has completed its preliminary reorganization. The Steam Titan and a batch of magic weapons are in place and can take over the Snow Legion at any time. The Snow Legion should also retreat and reorganize before carrying out magic reorganization.
