Chapter 719: Pure? Golden Rule?
Walking on the way to the depths of the forest, people tacitly did not mention what had just happened.
Give old man Gapar a little time to calm down, and he will reconcile with himself in his heart.
However, they seem to overestimate the other party's ability to reconcile themselves, or in other words, the less they act, the more the other party seems to care.
In short, he looked like he was in a bad mood.
What the hell is going on with this sword master? Could you please act like a reliable adult?
Leon sighed silently. The more he interacted with Gapar, the more he discovered his mischievous side. His former respect for him was almost gone, and he could no longer bear to see him showing off.
Well, I'd better wait until the teacher is in a better mood before asking him what happened.
Thinking of this, Leon ignored Gapar, who was staggering as he walked beside him and looked extremely absent-minded. He turned around and thought about where he had seen a similar stone tablet just now.
I always feel like I saw a lot of them when I was running away just now, but now I can’t find them no matter how hard I look?
Come to think of it, Leon was the first person to discover the entrance to the Dark Realm, but he has never been there to see it.
During the adventure just now, he repeatedly encountered joint strike teams composed of the ancestral people and various beasts. Except for the area near the blessing, he would be chased and beaten if he went into other places.
He named this place the Ancestral Forest because the hunter's manual called those tall and horned people the Ancestral People, so he named it that.
The people of the ancestors became obviously violent, wandering around in the forest, and were basically surrounded by wild beasts.
Generally speaking, even in the Sen Dungeon where the map roads are frequently changed, the monsters' actions within a period of time are roughly regular. Experienced adventurers can improve their survival rate based on the monster action patterns they have summarized.
But on the other hand, what adventurers fear most is that the patterns of monsters' movements will be disrupted, which will greatly increase the uncertainty during the adventure.
There are many ways to avoid this situation, such as disabling explosion magic, which has unusual sound and light effects, prohibiting running around aimlessly while separated from the team, etc.
When he thought of this, Leon almost understood the reason why the ancestors were so violent.
Because Malu and the others were scattered, everyone was running around in the forest, which naturally caused the nearby monsters to become agitated.
When he thought of this, he immediately returned to the vicinity of the blessing and simply rested there. After waiting for a while, he saw the resurrected people one after another.
If I had known this earlier, I would have waited for the blessing earlier, so that I wouldn’t have to run out and suffer.
They gathered together to communicate and share information about the monsters they had seen, the stone tablet they had discovered earlier, and the huge corpse of the ancestor.
As they were chatting and about to set off to continue their adventure, Gapar appeared.
Leon wanted to go up and say hello, but the other party looked extremely sad and heartbroken, and was even talking to himself in a strange way.
After hesitating for a moment, he missed the best opportunity to say hello, and the result was what happened just now.
It seemed that Gapar was still upset about their behavior of peeking at him without saying a word, and he seemed absent-minded because of the double blow of being seen by his apprentice and being killed by the tears of his replica.
“Whoosh!”
A Suling arrow suddenly shot out from the forest and hit Gapar directly on the forehead. The latter leaned back and fell to the ground with his arms and legs spread out.
"teacher!!!"
Leon never thought that the scene of being shot in the head by an arrow would happen to the famous Sword Saint!
When they ran over to kill the attacking Ancestral Spirits and rushed to treat Japar, the other party sat up with an arrow longer than his arm stuck in his forehead and said indifferently:
"I'm fine, that's all. Pain can make people more sober."
".As long as you are happy."
So Leon watched Gapar walking all the way with the Suling arrow on his head.
The arrow was too long, so long that it would vibrate every time Japar took a step. It looked very elastic, so it must be made of good material.
The current scene is really unbearable to watch.
Fortunately, after walking a few steps, people discovered a new stone tablet.
When the brazier under the stone tablet was lit, a magic rune flashed by:
[Somewhere the seal has been slightly unlocked]
When these words flashed by and disappeared, the relief on the stone tablet that had been weathered to the point where nothing could be seen suddenly became clearly visible.
They were some abstract little men, and some little men with horns, all holding weapons, working together to fight against the meteors falling from the sky.
The ancestral spirits were our companions, fighting together against the Supreme Will. But we failed.
When Leon saw this sentence, some classic plots came to his mind.
He had always felt that the architectural style of the Eternal City was not something that could be built by this group of ancestral people who were no different from barbarians. Moreover, the Eternal City was adjacent to such a large primeval forest, which looked strange no matter how he looked at it.
If the people who built the Eternal City and the Ancestral People were two different parties, then many things could be explained.
Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine that the barbarians who were chasing him with hammers and axes and howling could pick up tools to carve out an eternal city.
Malu used a photo stone to record the images on the stone tablet, and everyone kept a backup to avoid loss of the images.
Continue to explore deeper into the forest. Although Gapar is a little unconscious now, his basic strength is still there. We can't just focus on the fact that he was shot in the head by an arrow.
With his escort, Leon and his team were able to explore more smoothly. Even if they were attacked by a group of beasts, they were able to quickly organize a counterattack on the spot after having gained previous experience.
And since some time ago, the shadow of disaster will no longer invade, and the pressure of adventure has been greatly reduced.
More and more stone tablets were discovered as the adventure progressed.
[The Eternal City has fallen, we have sunk into the earth, but we are not defeated yet, we still have...]
If we do not believe in the Supreme Will, we will be persecuted by the Golden Tree.
[We will not give up, we are waiting for the birth of the king]
Combined with the words engraved on these stone tablets, everyone roughly understood what happened here.
It seems like a very serious and normal story.
The Eternal City and the faith of the ancestors were destroyed by the apex of the Golden Tree's power, the being called Supreme Will. It sank into the ground and lay dormant until now, and it seems that it has not given up resistance yet.
Generally speaking, different faiths are fighting against what they consider to be heresy.
This kind of thing is a common occurrence on the surface, so much so that Leon and the others did not have much emotional fluctuation after they imagined and speculated and sorted out the information.
Even if there is, it seems to be.
"I thought the Golden Rule was different from other beliefs. It turns out it also attacks heresy. I thought it was very pure." Malu shook her head.
It may be that the news we have previously come into contact with was all positively related to the Golden Rule, so now that we know that the other party also has other beliefs in common, there is a sense of contrast.
"It's a very normal thing." Gapar commented, and the arrow on his forehead was finally pulled out.
"There must be another stone tablet that we haven't found. After all, the words that appear on the stone tablet still indicate that the seal somewhere has been partially unlocked."
Leon sat on the ground, deep in thought. They searched for a long time and finally walked back to Cifu, but still couldn't find the remaining stone tablets. They didn't know how many more they had not found.
"Everyone must be tired, why don't you take a rest here now."
This statement was unanimously agreed by everyone, and at this moment, the topic that had been deliberately forgotten by everyone was brought up.
Leon said with curiosity: "Teacher, you seem to have encountered a formidable opponent just now. What's his name? Let's see!"
"you"
Gapar looked helpless, but finally opened the hunter's manual.
"I'm telling you, you'll never be able to imagine who my opponent was. He's incredibly skilled, and I, your teacher, had to use all my might to even contend with him."
Even at this point, he did not forget to use words to save his reputation.
Leon and the others nodded considerately, but their minds recalled what he had just said - "I can make up whatever I want, no one will see it anyway."
Forget it, let’s not expose him. We should be more understanding at this time.
Japar felt a strange chill on his back. He flipped to the end and saw the information about the latest monsters.
If nothing unexpected happens, the four big words written there should be "The Eternal King".
Then he could use this impressive-looking name to talk to Leon and the others about his heroic fighting skills, expressing his recognition of the Faded One's strength and his regret for being one step behind.
"Um?"
Garpar made a puzzled sound.
He suddenly brought the booklet close to his eyes and looked at it back and forth.
The more I looked, the more my shoulders trembled.
"Teacher?" Leon and the others felt strange.
Why did he react this way?
Because the Hunter's Manual says.
【The Eternal King's Imitation Teardrops】
Today, Japar's hands are shaking, his heart aches, he...
“Why?”
