Chapter 276 Preparation (Part 1) Waiting for Someone
Two pale skeletons lay on the charred soft sand, with new sprouts piercing their sternums, and the warm sunlight was shining.
"Mobo, do you feel it?"
"What?"
"The world is ending."
"oh."
"I said, the world is going to end."
"oh."
"The world is ending."
"You're so long-winded."
"oh."
Runto closed his eyes peacefully, smiling at the comfortable temperature of the sun.
Well, he was just a skeleton, and couldn't make difficult expressions like closing his eyes and smiling. If he could really do that, it would definitely scare Mo Bo to pieces.
As his empty head imagined this scene, he had to admit that he was still looking forward to it.
"Mo Bo, are you afraid of death?"
Mo Bo on the side gave him a strange look: "Aren't we already dead?"
"Oh, that's right." Runto suddenly realized.
"But Mobo, what I mean is that you won't see my sternum fall off anymore."
Mo Bo: “…”
“Actually, I don’t really want to watch it.”
"What!" Runto exclaimed in surprise. "I loved seeing your head fall off! I thought it was proof that we were good friends!"
Mo Bo wanted to hold his head for a moment. Oh my God, who proves they are good friends by seeing the other person's bones break?
Fortunately, since he treated Runeto as a fool with a weak brain, he was much more tolerant of him: "It's okay, Runeto, the end of the world is still a while away."
"But the goddess didn't say when exactly it will happen, right?" Runto asked back.
"What are you worried about?" Mo Bo immediately grasped the hidden meaning in his friend's words.
"What if the world disappears in a second..."
"That's perfect," Mobo said. "Pop! Everyone disappears together."
Luento said with regret: "But if this happens, I will never see your head fall off again."
Mo Bo: "..." When will this topic end?
Runto's empty eyes looked at the other alien races in the distance who were busy preparing to resist the end of the world: "They are working so hard."
Mobo stretched his limbs, and his bones made a creaking sound.
He would not make fun of other alien races who were trying hard to stay alive, because before he became a ghost, he had also tried his best to stay alive.
Trying to live is a kind of courage to move forward, it is a light burning in the heart, more scorching than the sun. Unfortunately, his light has already burned his heart to ashes, and his empty chest can no longer accommodate a heart. The warm orange sunlight can penetrate the dry bones and fall into the interior of the skeleton, and a wild grass that the breeze has not had time to carry away is also reflected on the ground, but it is also a broken shadow.
Following his intuition, he looked in the direction Runeto was looking and saw a girl in the sunlight, her blonde hair stained with a faint halo. She should be a human.
Her eyes were a rare red, which reminded Mo Bo of a blood-red sunset he had seen long ago.
Only to see a little goblin shouting at her: "Vefiya."
Vifiya turned around and smiled gently, "Miss Lunala."
Lunala fluttered her wings and landed steadily in front of her: "Just call me Lunala."
The little fairy had a familiar smile on her face: "By the way, the master craftsman and the others want to invite you to talk."
Worried that she would think they were impolite, Lunala quickly explained, "They thought I was the most familiar with you, so they asked me to treat you."
The fairy tried her best to hide her anxiety about the future on her face. She was really not good at concealing her emotions. Vifiya looked at her, reached out her hand, and gently rubbed her head with her fingertips. Lunala closed her eyes and accepted her touch. Her fingers were warm, like sunshine, and the little fairy liked it very much.
The human girl's voice wasn't loud, but she still heard her clearly say, "Don't be afraid."
Lunala opened her eyes and found that the girl's hand had been withdrawn. The worry of being poked did not make her dodge, but instead she felt inexplicably relieved.
It was the same sense of security as when they first met in the White Realm and she said she would not die.
However, the gazes of the four people behind her, some direct and some vague, were really something Lunala could not ignore even with her eyes closed.
She opened her eyes and remembered that they were good friends of the human girl in front of her, and she felt a little embarrassed again.
Vifiya's eyes did not change: "Let's go."
When they and Lunala walked into the house, it was quiet and the seats of the aliens were still clearly separated as before.
They are now using the room where the alien representatives of the Simpalai Holy Society used to meet, so it is suitable for use now.
The furnishings inside were not as magnificent as those in the royal palaces of any other race, but it had everything it needed.
The cold and heavy obsidian round table is inlaid with a variety of tiny luminescent minerals, reflecting a glass-like luster under the magic light ball.
On the table were the Dwarven Fire Ale, a basic map of the Western Continent, and a map of the Eastern Continent that they had asked Vifiya for not long ago.
Brynja and Morgana sat at the same table. Since the relationship between orcs, goblins and elves was not very friendly, Mowen, the mermaid who had always been neutral, sat between them. There were still two seats left on the obsidian round table.
These were the places reserved for the devil and ghost tribes in the past. Although they don't come often, you never know when they will show up, so in order to avoid unnecessary disputes, other alien tribes will still reserve two seats for them.
Now the two seats were naturally occupied by Vifiya and Osa, and Isidore and the other two stood silently not far from them.
The aliens did not object to anyone other than Vifiya joining the meeting.
As the descendant of the elf Saloha, Osha is fully qualified for a position.
As for the other three humans present, the aliens more or less knew their strength, and now that it was a special time, they would not go out of their way to make things difficult for any of them.
As the most experienced alien present, Bringa saw that everyone who should be there had arrived, and nodded to Lunala.
The fairy nodded in greeting and got straight to the point. "Since Miss Vifia left yesterday, I informed our clan's royal court, including issuing an order to search the Leden Forest."
As the next prophet, Lunala is fully qualified to give orders directly to the fairies except for the current Fairy Prophet and the Fairy King and Queen.
She concluded, "The royal court sent fairies to assist Elder Zatalan in conducting a large-scale search of the Leden Forest, but they couldn't find any place that could potentially open the Pure White Dimension."
After all, she was a fairy raised by an elder and a prophet himself, so Lunala was very familiar with this kind of occasion, although the little wings hanging on the chair flapped rapidly.
"No abnormalities have been found in the Basilon Abyss," said Mowen in the sea foam. "Our Queen has said that she will keep a close eye on the Basilon Abyss and inform us immediately if anything unusual happens."
There was a moment of silence in the room. Sonata, who had been writing on the parchment, paused and looked up at the right moment. "The King is confirming the statue of Buma Lingdalie in the Elven Court."
Morgana moved her fingertips, and a quill began to move automatically along the magic scroll. She leaned back in her chair and said, "Nothing unusual has been found in the Simparai ruins."
In fact, in addition to the places mentioned by Vifia, other areas and other races have been confirmed, but it seems that only the elves have reported accurate news at present.
The aliens looked at Vifia. God gave her the clues, and they could all sense something more or less. Except for Morgana and Lunala who could make their own decisions, the Dwarf Overlord, the Elf King and the Mermaid Queen all gave their people orders to follow her lead, of course, provided that her decisions were reasonable.
Even though she is the heir of Buma Lingdalie and the person to whom God gave hints, the current situation is special and they do have a certain degree of trust in her, but it is not enough for them to really hand over the lives of their entire clan to a human.
The alien leaders were not stupid, so they did not go to the scene in person after receiving the news from the goddess. They needed to arrange their territory and be prepared to face the demise of the world at any time.
Strictly speaking, the Simpalai ruins do not belong to the territory of any race. They cannot allow the leader to be away from the territory when disaster strikes. If destruction is unavoidable, at least they must be with their people.
"The Eastern Continent still needs time to confirm," said Kaharun. "At the latest, one day."
Vifia and Osa exchanged glances, and the latter spoke, "We've already discussed this with the three kings of the Eastern Continent. Although the giant screen is gone, we're most familiar with our respective places. Therefore, while we maintain our respective territories, if other areas require assistance, we can provide them with additional forces."
The aliens thought for a moment and did not refute Osa's words.
In fact, apart from the King of Ulucia, Ayuleite and Conseils had no objection to this suggestion. After all, humans and alien races had not lived together for many years and were in a relatively unfamiliar stage. A hasty integration might bring about other bad effects.
King Urushia, who had raised objections, accepted the suggestion after being given a good lecture by the magician present.
A powerful magical fluctuation was not hidden and could be sensed by all the magicians present.
Isidore naturally accepted the letter from Salis. After a few seconds, he said, "It's confirmed. The Marquis of Kesli's Mansion in the Segarot Empire, the Joko Village in the Dukedom of Heihefu, and the Padica Palace in Iskana."
"Ms. Vifiya, I can sense the breath of pure white space in the Simparai ruins." Valega's voice came from my mind.
Vifiya, who had been listening to them quietly without stopping to think, moved her eyes.
Valega was the one who knew the Goddess best, and she had no doubt about the truth in Her words.
Sonata's fingertips suddenly swirled with magic power, and characters appeared on a magic circle. She said, "The king is already looking for a way to open it."
"So..." Lunala asked, "Is all that's left to do now?"
It was too smooth, which gave them a sense of unreality.
Vifiya raised her eyes and looked directly at Brinja: "Master, can you reshape the goddess' statue?"
She changed the subject so quickly that Brinka didn't react for a moment.
Facing the puzzled looks of her friends and the other races, her expression remained unchanged. "I mean, a statue carved in the true likeness of the goddess Rehomme."
…
The entire continent is basically entering a new stage in an orderly manner, and the leaders of alien races and humans are beginning to deploy large-scale defenses and make war preparations.
After all, no one knows what form the world's destruction that the goddess mentioned will take. All humans and alien races must obey the orders of the lords and be prepared to respond.
Fei Yi also brought the news that St. Fagus Island was not one of the keys to opening the pure white space.
The renovation of the goddess statue in the Simparai ruins was also put on the agenda.
With the drawings provided by Vifiya and the cooperation of the master craftsmen, the transformed goddess statue was so similar that even Valega couldn't help but marvel at its resemblance.
With His approval, Vifiya gained greater confidence in her next guess.
"You really have seen the goddess, right?" Lunala asked softly beside Vifiya.
Sonata and the others were also standing nearby, and the fairy's questions were easily heard by them.
In fact, the answer was already obvious when Vifiya kept pointing out the details.
Lunala knew the answer, but she felt inexplicably uneasy, and for no reason she thought of the dream she had mentioned to Vesperis before leaving Moonwood Pond.
It is illusory, like the wind passing through clenched fingers, which cannot be caught or grasped.
Vifiya lowered her eyes and looked at the obviously uneasy goblin: "Hmm."
"Miss Vifiya, your guess is correct." Valega's voice sounded at the right time.
"This statue is one of the keys to open the pure white space." It was Isidore who spoke beside her.
From the moment she proposed to transform the statue of the goddess, Isidore and the others understood what Vephia meant.
After the statue of the goddess was built, he and Kaharun sensed it immediately and found that there was an extremely powerful magic ball inside.
Isidore knew what it was. The magic ball was almost the same as the magic power of God that he had guessed before.
The alien magicians present also sensed it in amazement and indeed found something different.
At this point, the fifth key to opening the pure white space on the mainland has been discovered.
Can we move on to the next step now?
Morgana looked at the blonde girl. After knowing that the girl possessed the power of Buma Lingdale, she already knew who the cub was who appeared in the arena and suddenly disappeared.
Although she had never given up the idea of finding the original cub to be the successor, but in the current situation, everyone had to survive...
Morgana asked, "What should we do next?"
Vifiya did not answer immediately. She looked up and stared at the statue of the goddess, which was exactly the same as in her memory.
"I need to wait for someone."
