"Where are the saints?"
White Fire looked around, looking for the figures or remains of the eleven saints who were supposed to be here.There are thirteen witcher saints in total, Bedolith has been confirmed dead in the banquet hall, and the first saint has never left his secluded room, according to the information provided by Claude, there should be eleven more saints in this ceremonial hall.However, there is not even a single body here.Lily's eyes widened and she snorted as she searched carefully, and soon found something: "These ......
Did they leave it behind?
”She spotted a very faint gray-white trail on the edge of the rune circle in the corner of the hall, and a few strands of black cloth could be seen next to this trace.“…… It's ashes," Hao Ren reached over to the gray-white mark and wiped it, his fingertips stained with some fine powder, and he found some hard particles between the black cloths, "and fragments of their clothes and masks. ”Bai Huo judged the direction of these traces in the room, and immediately ran to the other corners of the ceremonial hall: "There are also here!"
And here" She quickly found all the traces: eleven ashes remained on the floor of the ceremonial hall, most of which had probably been scattered by the wind and swallowed by the energy vortex in the hall, leaving only a shallow gray-white mark in its place.The marks were as symmetrical as the numbers on the clock face of the dial, except for one vacancy – where the saint Bedolis had been during the ceremony."
Sure enough, they are all dead," Hao Ren remembered the traces left by the death of the saint Bedolis, "the death is the same, reduced to ashes and smoke, and the people left in the ceremonial hall are obviously a little more miserable." ”"When did they die?"
Lily's mind suddenly became better, "Did you die at the beginning of the ceremony, or not long after you died?"
”The data terminal detects the information left behind by the ashes: "......
The passage of time here doesn't follow common sense, so there's no way to determine when they died, but it's certain that they were wiped out shortly after the ritual began, as evidenced by the energy remaining in the ashes. ”Hao Ren instantly noticed the suspicion: "They died as soon as the ceremony began?!"
Who called the shots during the entire witcher civil war after that?
”Everyone's eyes fell on Claude, and the young squire was equally stunned, but he seemed to have some thoughts: "The instructions of the saints have been coming from the hall - through the secret arts, and we didn't feel anything unusual at the time.But it is true that they did not show up during the whole process, so no one can be sure whether the saints were still alive at the time. ”A chill gradually spread in the hearts of White Fire and Tutamin, and they realized one thing in horror: except for Bedolis, eleven of the twelve saints in charge had died long before the mutation occurred, so who was in charge of the war that took place in the Colpers space after that?!
This sword?
Or is it the "monster" attached to this sword?"
Terminal, check again, is there any smart activity here!"
Hao Ren said loudly, and at the same time quickly took out all kinds of things from his personal space and set them around the black long sword—everything from all kinds of explosives to general-purpose energy suppressors.In fact, he didn't know how to stop the magic recharge process in the hall, not even the data terminal, but he thought that if the wait would really get out of control, blowing up the tower early might at least avoid the chain reaction of the other energy nodes in Colpers.Itzax has begun to imprint the demon runes in the original rune array in the ceremonial hall, which is an extremely risky operation, just like reaching out and taking out a nail in two high-speed rotating knife fans, the slightest mistake will lead to the collapse of the entire compound reaction, detonating the polluted mysterious energy in advance, but the old demon is operating with his strong power control ability and rich experience, and does his best to reduce the operation efficiency of these rune arrays.Even though the magical reaction in the Hall of Ceremonies was at this stage, the influence of the rune circle on it was no longer that important.The data terminal turned on all its sensors and searched for all the information fluctuations of suspected smart activities in the vicinity.If there really is an intelligent "monster" entrenched here and manipulating all this, then it is possible to solve the problem only by strangling the monster itself.However, after some searching, the data terminal gave a disappointing answer: "No, all the wisdom activities here come from a few of you." ”"How could it be ......"
Bai Huo couldn't figure it out at all, "In the past half month, something has issued hundreds of orders to the Elder Order in this hall in the name of the saints!"
”"But 'it' really doesn't exist - unless 'it' has run away," Bai Huo was interrupted by a scream from the data terminal, "Now all that's left here is an evil weapon and a cloud of energy that is about to get out of control, and we need to focus on the crisis in front of us." ”At the moment when the voice of the data terminal fell, a light suddenly lit up in the dark deep sky outside the Spirit Clock Tower, and the light expanded into a portal, and a silver-white battleship slowly poked its head out of the portal.Hao Ren received a communication from Nolan in his mind: "The Giant Tortoise Rock has entered the battlefield and is waiting for the next instructions. ”Nolan entered the "battlefield" - in the previous battle, because all of the ship's weapons were too powerful, in order to prevent the ghost cannon from destroying everything indiscriminately (and the powerful radiation generated by the ship's cannon would also cause terrible damage to allies on the battlefield), Hao Ren always kept Nolan on standby in the rear, but now that the time has come for her to appear, what can this ship do?
Hao Ren's simplest and crude idea was to let the Giant Tortoise Rock Terrace's secondary cannon fire at the Spirit Clock Tower, and the ghost energy would completely destroy everything within range, including matter and energy, as well as time and space, and the out-of-control energy mass might be wiped out before it exploded.But the God-Killing Sword and most of the Spirit Realm Clock Tower will also be annihilated at the same time.Hao Ren quickly eliminated the idea of exploding B in his mind, and at the same time, the energy mass above the god-killing sword was also expanding further, it was like a dark vortex that devoured all things, and through the connection between the various temples, this thing was also rapidly polluting all the energy nodes in the territory of Colpers.At this time, the data terminal suddenly shouted: "Partner, this machine has found something!"
”Hao Ren and Yitzhax said in unison: "What?
”"The key to the magical structure in the hall is not the sword, but the energy vortex above the sword," the data terminal said quickly, the holographic projection showing the magical connection between the god-killing sword and the surrounding environment, "The sword is just an 'inspiration point', but the key to maintaining the whole reaction process is the energy, it has grown so strong that even without the supply of the Spirit Clock Tower, it can sustain this reaction process on its own."
If you can cut off this energy vortex......
Maybe everything can stop. ”"Cut it off?"
Hao Ren looked up at the black mass above the hall, now the indescribable mass had spread to the entire dome, surging like black mercury, bright blue lightning burst out from the mass, constantly shattering the surrounding building structure and the metal objects floating towards it, and in the center of the mass, some tiny points of light were rippling, as if opening a crack to the cosmic starry sky.But Hao Ren knew that it was not a spatial rift, but an optical phenomenon that was the same as the surface of the God-killing Sword, or rather......
The Godkiller Sword is assimilating this mass of energy into something like itself!
A bold idea popped up out of nowhere.He asked the data terminal in a hurried tone, "Can you teleport out with this mass of energy?"
”"The local transmission system is aimed at small-scale personnel transfer, and the power of the personal data terminal cannot cope with this high-density energy cluster.""
And can my carry-on space handle this?"
The data terminal guessed Hao Ren's thoughts for a moment, but it still analyzed it dutifully: "......
Theoretically, yes, but dangerous, if it erupts in your carry-on space, the security protocol will immediately cut off the mental connection between you and your carry-on space, and your brain will be severely damaged by this hard cut-off.It is estimated that it will explode for a maximum of twenty seconds after exiting the hall. ”"I'll throw it out before then," Hao Ren said quickly, then contacted Nolan, "How soon will it take you to get from Colpers into the cosmic deep space of the watch world?"
The farther away from an inhabited galaxy, the better. ”"The fastest?"
Nolan also understood Hao Ren's thoughts, "The space passage was still open when I came in, but opposite the space passage was Kuiper Station......
Oh yes, I've set up a gravitational anchor near a star that can jump from Kuiper to near anchor in a matter of seconds. ”"Is there anyone around that star?""
No, it's an inanimate area.""
Okay," Hao Ren nodded vigorously, his eyes fixed on the dark energy above the hall, "Wait for my command, I'll take this thing into the Pocket Space, and then you immediately take me away from Earth, as far away as possible - we'll throw this thing into space." ”(To be continued.) )
