The carcass of the octopus floated on the sea like a giant piece of jelly, exuding a smell of rottenness and fishy smell. The foul-smelling black blood polluted the sea as far as the eye could see. Large groups of whitebait turned up and filled the sea with white bellies, all around. There was an aura of despair and death, as if they were in the realm of Death.
Lu Yuewu grabbed the rope ladder thrown down by the alchemist and jumped onto the deck. At this time, it rained heavily again. Rosie stopped the spell, and her magic power suddenly diminished. The short moment of restraint was now replaced by the angry response of the dark clouds: the dawn was slow to come, and only the mountain-like clouds weighed heavily on the top of the head, like the dawn of a dark night. There was lightning and thunder in the sky, and it was pouring rain. The black waves rolled up the smelly sea water and slapped the hull of the ship. The splash soaked their clothes. [com]
"Follow me now." Airola walked over and stopped in front of him. The tattered robe could not hide her charm. The rain and sea water wet her long hair, making her look like a goddess taking a bath. "Out of gratitude, or other rewards, to make amends for your mistakes, it is time for you to pay the price."
"There is no promise between you and me, Aurora." Leo followed her every move closely, trying his best to steady his body while shaking. His hand was on the hilt of the sword. "I can't see your true face clearly. You have too many secrets, and I don't want to guess."
"You will know everything," Aurora said, "but now is not the time."
He knew she would say that. Damn it! "What are you hiding?" The feeling of being kept in the dark is not pleasant at all. He now understood how Lu Yuewu and Luo Qian felt. The black dawn, the Demon of Destruction, ghosts, and too many. His mind was filled with all kinds of information, and he seemed to be thrown into a minotaur's maze, but he lacked a ball of wool in his hand that could help him escape.
"Can you swear that if I tell you everything truthfully, you will come with me?" Leo remained silent without saying a word. Aurora scoffed mercilessly. "Look, I knew you wouldn't agree, so it's useless to say anything."
"Don't you think you talk too much nonsense?" Rosie sneered, "Do you still have the blood of a long-tongued little leprechaun?"
Aurora tilted her head and mocked unabashedly, "Do you still want to stop me, female mage? You have consumed too much power, and you are destined to lose."
"Stop laughing at the same time. You're not much better." Rosie responded, "I'm still worried about whether you can open another portal. I'm afraid that you have the life to come here, but not the life to go back. In the end, it will be the same. Become our captive. I am looking forward to that moment immensely.¡±
"You are bound to be disappointed."
Rosie stretched out her hand, and the coquettish flames burned wantonly in the rain, "Only you will cry bitterly."
"Everyone stop, do you want to destroy this ship?" Leo tried to stop their meaningless fight. "Aurora, I will not leave with you. I have been away from home for too long, and now I just want to go home. If you want'protection', you can come with meback"
"Are you crazy?" Rosie screamed sharply.
He is extremely normal at this time. He made sure every word he spoke was carefully thought out. He didn't want to see them fighting. Each of them was at the end of their rope and couldn't control themselves. Every attack on each other may lead to unpredictable and tragic results. Whether it's Rosie or Auroraor Lu Yuewu.
"Leo?" She called out in shock.
He waved his hand to stop her rising objections. He knows what he's doing now. Negotiation is always safer than fighting, especially between two mages who are beyond ordinary people's imagination and master countless secret spells. He tried hard to convince one of the parties. "Aurora," he said, "there is nothing to miss here." He looked at the city in the distance, the flames were raging and the city was wailing. The shrill laughter of ghosts and revenants seemed to ring in his ears. "What else can you do when you go back?"
"Aren't they on the same side as you? It's hard for me not to think of this." Aurora sneered and said, "As for what I do when I go back, that's my own business, and you don't need to worry about it."
"Did you hear that?" Rosie took a step forward, "Your good intentions have once again been treated as a donkey's heart and lungs. Since she wants to die, then we will help her. Why look so pitiful. Leo, for some You ungrateful woman should be cruel, otherwise we will be jealous."
Aurora stared at her, "I want to see how you are going to kill me. Will you use your three-legged cat's spell?"
"You can give it a try."
"I'm waiting, female mage, come on, kill me as you say."
"Are you going to destroy this ship?"
"Except for her, I guarantee you?No one can die. Rosie yelled at him angrily, "Cowardly coward!" " She quickly formed a magic formula with her hands, and chanted a mellow spell in her mouth. A chain of fire shot out from her palm, but was blocked by an invisible barrier.
"Is this all you have left?"
"What about your succubus bloodline? What else did she leave for you?" Rosie sneered, "Why don't you take off your clothes to seduce me. Maybe you'll even make me fall in love with your pomegranate skirt." Down below, stay put. Just like those men who think with their lower bodies."
Leo heard it particularly harshly, but he could neither stop her nor stab Aurora with his long sword. No matter which side, he can't make a move. "Aurora, go back." He could only keep saying this. "otherwise¡¡"
"what if?"
Leo looked at her for a long time. The expression on her face was extremely determined, and her desire was undisguised in her pale golden eyes. Her will could not be shaken, and Leo finally knew that no matter how eloquently he spoke, he could not convince the other party with just one mouth. He took out the hot turtle-shaped rune stone, which shone like the sun among the dark clouds. "I did it once, and naturally I can do it a second time, Aurora, leave as soon as possible. You got what you wanted."
"That's not enough." Aurora said, "You don't understand what the Eye of Insight means."
"Then wait until I understand."
"I'm afraid it will be too late by then."
Every word she said was full of profound meaning, but in Leo's eyes, it seemed to be shrouded in layers of fog and thick shadows. He couldn't see clearly, let alone guess. He really didn't want to guess anymore. He held the turtle-shaped stone in his palm, and the scalding heat made him determined. "Even if the gallows are in front of you, Aurora would be better off than being bound to an iron maiden and spending the rest of your life."
"Are you going to kill me?"
"No." Leo took a deep breath, raised the turtle-shaped rune stone, and shouted loudly in magical language, "I make you leave."
The power of magic pours out from the rune stones, as if it is a torrent mixed with countless stones pouring down from the top of the mountain. The air was filled with the smell of ozone and barbecue. The fiery temperature of the rune stones made his palms burnt black in an instant. He endured the pain and activated the rune stones. The binding and sacred energy condensed into a water-like spectacle. Bind Aurora.
"No, Leo, you actually" She forgot to resist, her eyes widened in surprise, and she stared blankly at the magic imprisoning her. The sacred power brought her great pain. She was in the bright cage. He struggled and screamed in pain. Strange lines appeared on her face, and the features of a succubus were looming.
"Do you want me to kill her?" Rosie was ready to make a move.
"No, open a portal and let her leave."
"Leave?" Rosie sneered coldly, "Are you waiting for her to come to your door again and spend the night with you?"
"Rosie!" he called.
The female mage looked at him without flinching. Her eyes were full of mocking smiles, hiding pain and jealousy. "Okay, okay." She said in a weird tone, "Tell me, where are you going to send her?"
Where to go? Siris County has been turned into a sea of ??fire, Pompeii Dekar has become a ruin, and the distant city-state of Thousand Lakes has become a paradise for ghosts and sea monsters. Then, he thought of a place. "The Sanctuary of Silence." He said, "Send her to the Sanctuary of Silence." He thought of the red-robed monk and the blind boy with a strange talent. They won't hurt her, they will only imprison herprobablyHe suddenly lost any confidence.
But Rosie chuckled. "They will welcome your visit, old woman, I promise." She said gloatingly, "They will be happy to deal with sinners and heretics who stir up trouble and disrupt the peace of the sanctuary. You will receive extra 'preferential treatment'."
¡°Perhaps¡Leo thought of the hut under the sanctuary, where the black sun that they unknowingly worshiped was hidden¡between Ashbern and Aurora, or maybe they were not¡pagans.
"No, Leo!" Aurora screamed. Or trying to scream. But the inside of my throat was dry and hoarse, and I could barely make a sound, let alone speak coherently. "Don't let me go! Are you going to banish me? It's better to throw me into the nine hells" The little voice she squeezed out seemed to be absorbed by the shining runes.
The luminous threads emanating from the turtle-shaped rune stones gathered into words, and words she could not understand emerged. They drifted toward her, pulsing with light. She desperately tried to summon some power to resist the magical runes but the power refused to respond to her. To make matters worse, the shining words seemed to begin to drain the mana from her actions, which meant that sheFeeding them with your own strength, strengthening them
"Nine hells? That's really an advantage for you, succubus." She heard the female mage say, "Are you still trying to hang out with the devil? Pray to the gods." She laughed loudly.
Then, the light disappeared completely, the shining words went out, and the surroundings suddenly showed a short period of darkness. Her eyes couldn't adapt to the drastic change. She reached out to fumble in panic, but she only raised her hand a few inches before hitting a hard barrier. Then an irregularly expanding portal illuminated the dark space.
"No!" she cried, but the strong attraction pulled her body and dragged her towards the worm-like tunnel. In the beating of light and shadow, she saw the shadow of the alchemist. "I will remember you!" She shrieked wildly and absentmindedly, "I will never forget today!"
Her voice became farther and farther away, and finally even her figure disappeared into the portal. When the portal gradually shrank and finally closed, the magic power dissipated quickly like a deflated ball. The wind stopped and the rain stopped, and the sky finally cleared up. A long-lost ray of dawn penetrated the thick dark clouds and shone on the sea. The sea showed a beautiful orange-red color, and Nianta, who fainted on the ground, gradually became calm in the gorgeous light beam.
Leo let go of his hand, and a handful of dust fell from his palm. He looked at the magnificent scenery that looked like the Kingdom of God and sighed deeply. Then he turned back and looked at the haggard girl, "We're going home." He said with a smile.
