Chapter 534: Curse to Death
The reason why he dared to act so blatantly at the port of Celephes was because on the first day he arrived at Os-Nargai, Milo had already determined that the local god had no roots at all. Not in this country.
"Nas Holthas".
Although Milo knows nothing about the existence of one of the dream gods, if he is really within the borders of Os-Nargai, or in any corner of the eastern continent, Then you should be able to notice Milo the moment he leaves the penalty area.
After all, the sight of gods cannot be blocked by a cloak provided by cats.
But it turns out that this god is not at home.
And it is certain that He went far away.
Because even though His people were suffering, there was no sign of God’s holiness.
......
With this prerequisite, Marston is destined to be a dead end.
From the moment he confidently accepted the mission and boarded the ship to Celephais, he was doomed.
Milo's original plan was to kill the "person" sent by the Golden Law Temple, no matter who it was.
It’s just messing around, the more messy it is, the better.
That way Daisy can move more smoothly in the temple.
…
Marston's completely disintegrated body turned into gray-white powder, washed away by the storm and rain, and disappeared on the sea.
Facts have proved that whether it is the royal family or the priesthood, after death, there is only a handful of white ash, which is no different from the desert sand in the restricted area.
However, after the powder was scattered and disappeared, what the strong wind and heavy rain could not wash away was a trace of light that was fixed in the air. The form exudes pure and weak golden light.
Milo knew that it was a "blessing" from the golden tree.
This was the first time he "saw" a blessing that was not wrapped in any body or carrier.
And just as he was in a trance, that ray of blessing suddenly disappeared.
......
Because the speed of escape was so fast that the visual effect looked like it disappeared out of thin air.
But how could Milo let it slip away like this.
…
So, the moment the blessing disappeared.
Milo's shadow also disappeared.
A moment later, Milo and Blessing Liuguang appeared on the sea hundreds of meters away at the same time. At this time, Blessing was already tightly grasped in his hands.
He grabbed this golden vine-like object and looked at it carefully.
After Marston's body and soul were completely dead, this thing began to receive some kind of special traction, as if an invisible hand was pulling it, trying to bring it back to the Temple of the Golden Law.
The power of blessing itself is already very weak.
Because when Milo killed Marston, he had already destroyed the power of the blessing itself to pieces.
In short, from the perspective of power, this gadget actually has no great use value. To put it bluntly, it is just a glowing vine, and may not even have a new kerosene lamp. Comes clear.
However, its remaining attributes made Milo decide to keep it.
…
I saw Milo loosen his palm slightly.
The blessing quickly ran away in a certain direction.
But the next moment he was pinched by Milo again, and no matter how hard he struggled, it was of no avail.
"Very good. If I have the opportunity to visit the Golden Law's lair in the future, you will be my guide."
Milo smiled evilly, narrowed his eyes, and pulled the vine back with his hand. Tie a knot and hang it around your wrist.
...
After killing Marston, the remaining problem is the death crystal.
In fact, these things did not have the element of "death" in the beginning. Before entering the country of Os-Nargai, they were just an extremely pure crystal mineral. Only here they absorbed enough After many deaths, it will turn into the kind of substance in the crystallized person that is enough to make people die.
Become a seal that binds those who want to leave this country.
Freedom is the price of eternity.
If Os-Nargai is really an eternal kingdom without any shadows, wouldn’t the entire Dreamland have to crowd in here? There are so many powerful kingdoms, why doesn't anyone try to capture this only civilized area in the eastern continent? The reasons are all on the table.
It is not only the remnants of the forbidden area that are sealed, but also the guardians of the forbidden area, these eternal residents of the Os-Nargai Kingdom, are also imprisoned.
To put it bluntly, this is a cage of eternal youth.
……
Except for the first batch of residents who migrated from Ous-Nargai when it was founded by the dreamer King Kuranth, very few people now actively choose to stay in this country.
But Chief Pinkerton had no extra choice.
It is old.
And a battle in Uzzah deprived it of its few lifespans.
And behind it are hundreds of young descendants of Wuyangyang. Those are the children it desperately rescued from the fallen city of Ussa. They have not yet grown up and cannot withstand the cruel war.
At that time, almost all the real cat warriors had died under the endless siege of the psychics.
Pinkerton dragged hundreds of his descendants with him and traveled through many countries and territories in the west. Most of them did not survive along the way, and Pinkerton, who was dying, knew that there was nothing he could do. In order to save these descendants, in order to preserve the last living strength of the cat clan when time was running out, it took the remaining one hundred or so descendants on a cargo ship bound for Celephais.
…
After that, Old Pinkerton dragged his dilapidated and decaying body to this day, while the last group of young descendants of the Cat Clan remained forever. Their physical appearance when they escaped from Uzzah.
According to the timeline, it has been more than a year since Marshall tore apart the space barrier and jumped into the waking world. More than a year in the waking world is equivalent to more than two hundred years in the dreamland.
So although Xiao Lihua and Xiao Bai look like kittens, they are actually old Arthur and old Morgan.
There are more than a hundred cats like this, and they are now besieging the port, trying every means to seize the ships belonging to the Temple of the Golden Law. That is a major opportunity for them to leave Celephais. It is also the first step to return to Uzzah.
......
"In other words, the haze of Pinkerton's death, the erosion of the kittens over time, and the eternal cost of the entire country of Os-Nargai are sealed. In these little crystals?”
The dark shadow that caused extreme panic to Celerphais, that is, Milo, quietly arrived at the port after solving Marston. On an ancient lighthouse on the edge of the outer sea.
This may be one of the few places in the entire territory of Seraphis City where you can see traces of age, decline, and decay.
There are obvious traces of erosion from sea water and strong winds on the boulders used to build the lighthouse.
Perhaps it is because they are generally far away from urban areas and do not need to be kept as new as the onyx on the street. It may also be because the death crystals on the lighthouse have already carried enough time and cost. Not only can they not help the lighthouse maintain its Brand new, and may even need a lighthouse to help "share" some of it.
......
Milo slowly approached the so-called "crystallized people" huddled in the corner.
Within his field of vision, he could clearly see a "little man" with pure black limbs.
Before in the city, Milo had also seen these black shadows on the lighthouse from a distance. He originally thought that the "blackness" was just caused by the dim light at dusk, but now the sky has begun to be replaced by the flowing light. But the crystallized man on the lighthouse platform still looked completely black, with skinny limbs and a stooped and twisted spine.
It is a kind of "black" that does not reflect light at all. They seem to reject all light and are unwilling to fall into anyone's field of vision.
But the back of the lean body of less than one meter is densely covered with dark crystals carved on it like ice picks.
Although enough time has been absorbed, the original cleanliness of the death crystal has now been replaced by the strange dark light emitting, and it has become filthy, but the surface still has the unique luster of the crystal.
Therefore, in terms of visual effects, the crystallized man and the crystal he is carrying look like a quite inconsistent combination.
Below, there is a crystalline man without a trace of reflection, leaving only a dark outline. Above is the death crystal that competes for your sight...
"The crystal is loaded with time. The price, then it stands to reason that Shadow is already a sequence that can escape the order of time, and the so-called death curse should not have much impact on me..."
Milo said to himself as he approached the crystal. people.
The Crystal Man hiding in the corner did not react at all, and did not seem to be aware of Milo's approach.
Even Milo didn't know whether the black outline in front of him was still a living thing.
But before he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly felt dark!
“Woah!”
It felt like when I was still a human being and suddenly stood up straight after squatting on the toilet for half an hour.
The darkness spread rapidly from the edge of his entire field of vision, almost swallowing him up instantly.
Milo staggered back several steps.
Then he was surprised to find that the palm of his left hand in his semi-illusory shadow body actually collapsed...
Looking at his "broken hand", Milo fell into deep thought.
Is this the power of "curse death"?
