"You'll know everything you want to know."
Xia De was still lying on his stomach at this time, so he barely supported the ground with his left hand, and raised his right hand to touch the flame, but the severe pain in his arm made this action fail.
Sister Devlin held the flame in one hand and wanted to help Xia De, but Xia De refused.
He tried hard to change his posture, trying to kneel on one knee to make his body more stable. But I also remembered that the nun in front of me was also kneeling on one knee:
"Sister Diveline, stand up."
After the nun got up, he knelt down on one knee. Sister Devlin knew what he meant, and carefully stretched the flame she was holding forward.
Xia De couldn't raise his head because of the severe pain, he could only stretch out his palm instinctively.
The bonfire illuminated the silhouettes of the two of them. Xia De only wanted to use this flame to fill the emptiness in his soul. Sister Divelin was extremely serious, but her voice was very soft. That ancient grammar, using the Delarion language to ask softly:
"Xiade Suren Hamilton, are you willing to bear the power and will of the first fire, and help me collect the flames and light the firewood. This is the contract between the nun who guards the flame and the hero who bears the fire."
[Promise her. 】
It was very rare that "she" gave Shad the answer before he made a choice.
"Yes I do."
Xia De said softly, beside the bonfire, beside the road where thousands of souls left, under the boundless galaxy, his palm rested on the palm of Sister Divelin.
The shadows of the two shook violently on the cliff, because the flames followed Xia De's arms and swept across his body, as if to completely ignite Xia De. But the fire did not hurt Xia De, because Xia De's body surface appeared cracked.
The divinity has disappeared, and there is no golden light in the crack. The flames of the first fire penetrated until Xia De's exposed skin surface and the cracks in his clothes, the fiery flames gradually subsided, just like the Sister Devlin in front of him.
When the night wind blew, the flames on the two of them dragged the flames in the same direction. The fiery red embers fluttered into the darkness with the wind, and Sister Devlin's face showed a clear smile that had never been seen before. Behind the silver eyepatch with fine patterns, made of Mithril from the ancient Death God Order, those eyes are definitely looking at Xia De:
"Sure enough, you are the hero who can bear the initial fire."
The soul feels warm and full, as if it had just eaten a delicious meal. The terrifying sense of emptiness caused by the loss of divinity has been slightly ground, but the severe pain and powerlessness that seems to be about to disintegrate the body still exist. This flame filled the gap in divinity, but Xia De was still seriously injured.
[Outlander, you have accepted the power of the primordial fire. 】
[The original fire burns the body, purifies the soul, removes the curse, and defends the will. Your fire resistance ability has been greatly improved, your soul strength has been greatly improved, and your physical fitness has been comprehensively improved. 】
【Due to the lack of divinity, the gradual disappearance of the afterglow of divinity slows down, but once the afterglow of divinity disappears, Chuhuo can no longer replenish that power. 】
It seems that Chuhuo can be regarded as an extremely degraded version of divinity, but unfortunately it is not divinity after all, and can only be regarded as a substitute before Xia De finds the next drop of divinity.
[The voice of the ancients was triggered, and you learned the story of the primordial fire—]
[Since the beginning, the fire and the nuns who guard it have always existed. The original fire is a symbol of civilization, and the nuns who guard the fire carry out the will of the first fire. This is a contract, a contract created by the world itself for the continuation of civilization. The ancient flame came from the very beginning, even older than this world. 】
The ring of life appeared behind Xia De with the faint whistle and bell, and the fire spread towards the ring of life. Because of the serious injury of Xia De's soul, the ring of life seemed to be cracked, showing mottled marks. But there are faint traces of gold in the cracks of the brass.
The flame envelops the ring of life, and the primitive and simple power enriches the elements of miracle, profanity, enlightenment and whisper. With the high-speed rotation of the ring of life, the flames left bright traces of the ring of fire on Xia De's back.
But bathing in the first fire did not allow Xia De to obtain spiritual runes, thaumaturgy or spells.
"Sorry, the power of Chuhuo is no longer enough to provide you with more powerful power."
Sister Devlin apologized softly.
"It doesn't matter, the power of this fire is enough now."
Shad wanted to smile, but fell down because he couldn't maintain the position of kneeling on one knee. This time, Sister Devlin supported him.
"Sister, how did you find me?"
"My avatar was fighting above Mibao, and the main body ventured to the shore of Lake Bena where the gods appeared, wanting to get the truth. When I saw the Red Butterfly Twins and the cat, I knew it."
"Then you know what I just did?"
The nun still shook her head gently:
"I don't know what kind of relationship you have with the Godcaller, but since you have already bathed in the first fire, we are unbreakable allies. Please rest assured that everything tonight will be spread according to the version of the story in your mouth."
"Yes, that's what happened tonight."
"Okay then, give me the leaf in the pocket watch."
The emptiness of the soul is gone, but the weakness and pain of the body remain. Last time, Iluna gave Shad a whole bottle of "No. 1 holy water" puree to save him, but now he only has No. 2 holy water from the narrow church, between No. 1 and No. 2. The gap between them is too big, so he can only use the two remaining [Youth Leafs].
Sister Devlin reached for the pocket watch on the ground, but suddenly stopped and "looked" at the deep night sky:
"I don't think so."
"What are you going to do again!"
In an instant, the brilliant white rain of light gushed out from the broken light path under the sea of stars, and the dots of light, like fireflies on a summer night, sprinkled on the cliff on the top of the mountain.
Under the deep night sky, under the sea of stars and the tranquil waters, the light rain is so eye-catching.
Those jumping white rays of light merged into Xia De's body like a waterfall of light, completely illuminating the cliff on the top of the mountain.
Warm power poured in, but this power was not violent at all, but nourished every scar on Xia De's soul and body. Just like slipping into a hot spring in an extremely cold situation, Xia De even wanted to groan uncontrollably:
"Oh~"
He gradually controlled his body, broke away from Sister Devlin's support and stood up, bathed in the white light stream under the night sky, stretched his body with his arms raised high.
Gently bent down, picked up Miya who was on the ground and held her in her arms:
"What's this?"
Stretching out his hand to touch the brilliant light that gathered, the white light seemed to envelop Xia De in the galaxy.
"A more sincere gift than soul tears. This is a gift given to those who help before the soul leaves."
the nun said softly.
Standing by the bonfire, Xia De looked up at the sea of stars in the stream of white light that continuously healed him. He saw countless souls standing on the broken light path and waving goodbye to him. He saw the corporal who died in the narrow space. He saw Professor Higgins, the spy of Carson Rick. Innocent ladies who Vaal murdered, also saw the third nail, Count Dallak.
They all turned around at the end of the Broken Light Path, smiled and waved to him, then walked onto the water area and headed towards Mingyue.
Mingyue did not guide all the souls to leave, but at least 99.9% of the souls in the narrow space are going to the end through this road of stars.
"teacher!"
Voices came from behind, it was Grace and Helen. The pale-faced girl woke up, helped each other to pass Sister Divelin who was behind Shade, stumbled to Shade, and looked at the path close at hand with him.
The five people who walked out of the cocktail party in 3014 of the fifth era met again under the thick night on the top of Mount Xikale in the late autumn of 1853 in the sixth era.
"It's really like a dream, and we are always the little butterflies on the wine table."
It's just that the witch and the old man in armor turned into ghosts, and the twins turned into relics, only Xia De, still Xia De.
The middle-aged witch smiled and stood on the path and waved to the twins, while the old man in armor looked at Xia De with satisfaction and nodded slightly as a farewell:
"Don't forget us."
They didn't say anything more, turned around and together with the thousands of souls, walked towards the distance along the path in the sea of stars. This is the direction that should have left thousands of years ago.
A steady stream of souls poured out, and a steady stream of white light spots entered Shad's body, healing the body and soul injured by the burning divinity. The inflated spirit gave him the illusion that he was about to upgrade to another level, and he was also waving to the sky, waving to those souls who were willing to say goodbye to him~www.mtlnovel.com~ He knew he was doing the right thing.
Mortals are mortal, all things are mortal, and this is the true end.
Cat Mia stood curiously on Shad's shoulder, looking at the white light spots around him, and even stretched out his little paw to touch it.
[Outlander, the quality and weight of your soul have increased significantly. Any spirit creature will not take the initiative to attack you, and at the same time, fate will favor you even more. 】
"The promotion of the soul can understand, why is the favor of fate?"
[This is the thanks of the world. 】
Xia De put his hands in his pockets and wanted to smile, but he found that there were red butterflies flying on the starlight path:
"Huh? Where did the butterfly come from?"
Looking around in astonishment, Helen and Grace stood in front of him, one on the left and one on the right, closer to the edge of the cliff and the Shattered Light Path. Their bodies are becoming transparent, and the colors in their bodies are turning into red butterflies, flying into the deep night sky along with those white shadows.
