Chapter 498 Philomena (10,000)
Bai Lan’s face turned as pale as paper almost in an instant.
She had dealt with evil spirits too many times and she definitely wouldn't have heard it wrong; that was the voice of the evil spirit.
However, this time the roar of the evil spirit was much more violent than any previous time. The sound was like hundreds of thunders mixed together, deafening. The waves formed by the sound seemed to transform into the most terrifying whirlwind, rolling up the snow on the ground, and the entire sky became foggy and gloomy in an instant.
Even the tents in the camp were overturned one by one.
But at this moment, Bai Lan had no time to care about these little things. In the wind and snow, Bai Lan stared wide-eyed. There was an extreme fear in the depths of his pure white eyes. His gaze was fixed on the deepest part of the glacier. In the northern sky, the whole world became gray, as if shrouded in a thick layer of gray-black fog.
Evil, gloomy! In the strange fog, one can even see countless twisted shadows wriggling at will.
There seemed to be a hazy and resentful laughter floating between heaven and earth.
The evil spirit's aura is getting stronger.
Just looking at the scene in front of him, Bai Lan was shaking with fear.
This is definitely not an enemy that the orcs can fight against. If this evil spirit is allowed to break the seal, the only thing waiting for the orcs is destruction.
Not only Bai Lan, but all the orcs in the entire camp and even the entire orc territory felt the changes in the north. They stood up straight and widened their eyes, looking at the changes in the north with confusion and fear. They didn't know what had happened in the north, but they could feel the despair permeating the air.
At this moment, countless orcs were crawling on the ground, trembling because they could not bear the tremendous pressure.
She gritted her teeth. Although she was afraid, as the orc queen, Bai Lan had to do many things.
Even though the secret techniques passed down for eight thousand years have lost their effectiveness, and even though Bai Lan still has an insurmountable fear of the evil spirit, she must shoulder the responsibility. Even if she has to face the evil spirit head-on, or even if the seal on the evil spirit has not yet been completely broken and there is a risk of death, she cannot refuse.
Bai Lan may be afraid, but she will never be cowardly.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Lan suppressed the restlessness in his heart, took a step forward and prepared to head north.
"Sister, where are you going?" Just as she turned around, a crisp voice suddenly came from behind her.
Without turning around, Bai Lan knew who had spoken.
It was her sister, Hakuen.
Accompanying Bai Yuan was Philomena Andre.
It is said that this Miss Philomena may be a descendant of the blasphemer Archibald, and is now the most distinguished guest in the Orc Territory.
Philomena had been wandering around the Dusk Continent for many years and had no fixed place to live. This time, it was only because of her sister's kind invitation that she stayed in the Orc Territory for a while longer.
She is very strong.
Although Bai Lan and Bai Yuan are both at the pinnacle of the legendary realm and are extremely powerful, Bai Lan still has a feeling that even if the two sisters join forces, they are still no match for Miss Philomena.
This powerful young lady claimed that she had lived for nearly a thousand years, although time did not seem to have left any traces on her. She was petite and adorable throughout her life, with a petite and exquisite body of just 1.5 meters tall, and long, crystal clear hair like icy silk that was almost as long as her body and almost fell to the ground.
The little face is delicate and cute.
It is so cute that it makes people wonder how such a cute creature can exist in the world. It is like the most exquisite porcelain doll in the world.
Even though Bai Yuan and Bai Lan were both the most beautiful women in the Dusk Continent, when they saw Philomena, they actually felt a little envious in their hearts, and even had a strong desire to hold Philomena in their arms and love her dearly.
As for if Philomena is really almost a thousand years old, it doesn’t matter. Being cute is enough.
Although she was a petite, cute and slender girl, Philomena insisted on wearing a heavy armor that was totally inconsistent with her figure and appearance, making her look bloated.
In Philomena's words, her appearance was not majestic enough, and those stupid humans on the Dusk Continent often looked down on her because of her appearance, which made Philomena particularly unhappy.
Putting on a heavy suit of armor will make you look majestic.
Well, I'm not sure whether it's majestic or not, but one thing is certain, that is, the small body looks a bit funny in this thick armor.
"Bai Lan, is this the evil spirit you mentioned?" Philomena opened her mouth and uttered a cold voice.
She deliberately lowered her voice so that it sounded a little hoarse and heavy. In Philomena's words, this was also a sign of maturity.
Bai Lan nodded: "Yes, this is the breath of the evil spirit. The seal is becoming less and less able to restrict the actions of the evil spirit."
"It looks like, in a month at most... no, maybe, in ten days or so, this evil spirit will completely break free from the shackles of the seal."
"The situation has deteriorated faster than I expected."
Bai Lan's voice was heavy.
According to her original estimate, it might take two to three years for the evil spirit to break the seal. Although it was very urgent, she still had enough time to complete her series of plans.
But now, before the plan even began, the evil spirit was about to break the seal and come out.
What went wrong and why did the situation suddenly deteriorate?
Even though Bai Lan has always been calm, he couldn't help but become anxious at this moment.
She simply had no ability to confront the evil spirits that had broken the seal head-on, and her only hope, Ron, the mysterious captain's follower, had not yet appeared in the North due to various delays.
At this moment, Bai Lan really didn't know what to do.
Philomena looked up at Bai Lan and said, "Are you going to reinforce the seal of the evil spirit?"
Bai Lan pursed her lips, said nothing and just nodded.
"You told me that the secret technique you mastered is useless for strengthening the seal." Philomena spoke again.
"Let's try again, maybe it will be of some use this time." Bai Lan exhaled, his voice full of powerlessness.
"You should be able to feel that with your strength, under the cover of this evil pollution, you can't even go to the front of the seal, let alone reinforce the seal..." Philomena looked up at the dark sky in the distance: "My calculations cannot be wrong. With your strength, you will not be able to withstand the erosion of pollution and completely collapse when you are 3,000 meters close to the seal. You will become a madman in extreme pain, and then be devoured by the evil spirits and become their food."
As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Yuan's face changed drastically and he looked at his sister in disbelief.
Although they are both masters of the same level now, Bai Yuan has only been in this realm for a short time, and her perception and control of power cannot be compared with her sister and Philomena.
Facing his sister's gaze, Bai Lan was a little afraid to look at her appearance. His sight involuntarily shifted to other directions, his eyes dazed.
But... this kind of behavior is almost equivalent to agreeing with what Philomena said.
Bai Lan's lips trembled, and after a while, he slowly spoke: "There is always a way."
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Having said that, this statement is ultimately not very solid.
Philomena was completely ignorant of the ways of the world, and she didn't give Bai Lan any face: "The method you mentioned is to burn the soul, right?"
Bai Lan was choked and her face was shocked. She didn't know how to answer. She did have such an idea.
By burning her soul, her strength can be greatly increased within a certain period of time. Although her soul will eventually turn into ashes due to overdraft and her soul will be scattered, at least she has the opportunity to get close to the seal.
After getting close to the seal, she will use up her remaining soul and strength to reinforce the seal again.
Although it's not very useful, but... every day counts.
This was Bai Lan's original plan, but she never thought that it would be exposed by Philomena like this, so that now she doesn't know how to face her sister's eyes.
For a moment, the atmosphere on the scene became somewhat awkward.
Philomena's ice-blue eyes looked back and forth between the two sisters. She naturally understood what was going on, but she was used to being straightforward and saying what she wanted to say without any hesitation.
"Forget it. I'll go with you." After a brief pause, Philomena curled her lips and said, "My father did leave me some things, including some holy relics that can isolate pollution and erosion."
Then she looked at Bai Lan again and said, "I was treated well by you in the Orcs' territory. We can be considered friends, right?"
"Since we're friends, you can ask me for help if you encounter problems you can't solve. My father once said that you should stick by your friends even at the risk of your life."
She is petite and cute, but she looks old-fashioned. That little look is so adorable.
Bai Lan was shocked. After all, her purpose in inviting Philomena to visit the Orc Territory was not so pure. However, as an absolute vixen, Bai Lan was very good at adjusting her mood and expression. A charming smile soon appeared on her pretty face. With a gust of fragrant wind, Bai Lan's body floated silently to Philomena, and one of her small hands was stroking Philomena's head.
"Philomena, you're so sweet... ah, I mean, thank you so much."
Philomena's face was flushed with shame. She twisted her little head desperately, trying to break free from Bai Lan's clutches. She always felt that she was looked down upon.
"Don't touch my head, it won't grow taller..."
Philomena twisted her body and muttered softly, showing her extreme dissatisfaction with Bai Lan stroking her head. Seeing this little look, Bai Lan even had a very strange feeling. Although she had always claimed that she was over a thousand years old, he always felt that the mind of the Miss Philomena in front of him did not seem very mature.
But...it's even cuter.
Bai Lan had no intention of letting go of Philomena and even hugged her tighter.
Philomena struggled for a few times, but when she found that she was completely unable to break free, she could only give up angrily.
After a long time, Bai Lan, feeling satisfied, finally let Philomena go. Philomena combed her messy hair, still feeling unhappy, but she finally took out a special item from the storage ring.
It looked like a lantern.
However, what was placed inside the lampshade was not lamp oil, wick, or any magic stone, but a colorless and transparent... eyeball? Yes, an eyeball.
What was originally an ordinary lantern suddenly became eerie and even creepy because of this eyeball.
However, the moment the flashlight was taken out, both Bai Lan and Bai Yuan felt a sudden shock to their spirits, and their brains became much clearer in an instant.
Just from this point, we can see that this item is definitely not an ordinary one.
Since Philomena said that this holy relic was left by her father, and her father was most likely Archibald the Blasphemer, then this lantern was the treasure left by Archibald? As you can imagine, the things left by the blasphemer must be priceless.
But... looking at the eyeball in the lantern, the two sisters Bai Lan and Bai Yuan looked at each other, and the expressions on their faces became more and more weird.
A holy relic left behind by a blasphemer... a holy relic?
Could it be that this eyeball was left behind by the blasphemer? Chapter 2 (End of this chapter)
