Chapter 1316 Dawn
Suddenly it started to rain, and it was obviously just a moment ago when the moon and stars were thin—or, in other words, it was just after experiencing a thrilling, apocalyptic horror.
People walked on the streets, reaching out to touch the drizzle that was slowly falling. While feeling the rain moisten themselves, they seemed to begin to forget some things.
Scenes like this can be seen everywhere on the streets of the foggy city...in the city.
People stared blankly at the sky, soaked in the rain, and then gradually lost consciousness... the elderly, men, women, children, and even pets.
There seemed to be something, moving through the rain... moving quickly - figures wearing black robes.
They wandered around every corner of the city, holding magic wands that could amplify magic spells, and began to wave them at the destroyed buildings and streets.
You will see such a wonder:
The broken materials of the collapsed building began to float little by little, and then quickly returned to their original positions... When the materials were reassembled, not even a crack was left - it returned to its original state. appearance.
The damaged potholes on the streets began to be filled in... The damaged public facilities also began to gradually recover as if they were repairing themselves.
A special spell called the 'restoration spell' was used. As for the one who released the spell, it was naturally the magician team that arrived this time.
"Hurry up! We need to repair the damage to this city before sunrise!"
The person who directs the actions of the magicians is transmitting messages to all the magicians at this time.
"Don't worry about all consumption! The Queen of Britain will be responsible for reimbursing all consumption of secret crystals! Although we are not participating in the war this time, we must let the knights of Britain take a closer look at the capabilities of our Magicians Association!"
< br>
As a result, the speed of these figures traveling through the streets and buildings increased a bit... And everywhere in the streets, you can see secret crystals that have used up their stored magic power and turned into ordinary stones.
……
There was drizzle outside the window, and occasionally you might be able to see a dark shadow flying from the distance... In the study, Caesar did not really relax his tension, but silently took two steps closer.
"Last time it was a passer-by, this time it was a salesman, what will it be next time?" Caesar asked expressionlessly.
The mysterious young man... Boss Luo said casually: "To be honest, I don't know what it will be like when we meet next time... Even, maybe there is no chance of seeing each other again. I am more accustomed to letting things happen naturally recently. Happening... to put it simply, it means more casually. ”
Suddenly, Caesar relaxed his body, and his tense muscles began to relax. He breathed out slowly, "Your Excellency, your late night visit cannot really be for sales... It seems that I didn't What is needed.”
Luo Qiu smiled and said: "There will always be something that you and I need... as long as living beings are still acting for something. If there really is nothing, it's probably just 'as long as I can sleep.'" 'Such a creature... About four hours ago, I received some tips..."
Luo Qiu looked at Caesar's frown and said slowly: "Remind me, the number of souls received... this even includes the souls of a thousand pigs... To be honest, I am indeed a little surprised."
Suddenly, a thin trickle of sweat formed on Caesar's forehead.
At this moment, there seemed to be a kind of darkness covering him... and even the entire world he saw - the darkness did not really appear, it was just what he felt at this moment.
"Are you... [Holy Grail]?" Caesar's expression changed drastically at this moment.
"Mr. Caesar turns out to have a sense of humor."
Luo Qiu smiled, "However, strictly speaking, I do have some relationship with the [Holy Grail] as you know it... In other words, it can be said to be something that I only inherited recently. Well, inheritance is a bit inappropriate. It should be said that it should be in my name now... Wouldn’t it be easier to understand?”
"Yes..." Caesar was silent for a while, then frowned and said: "The origin of the [Holy Grail] is very mysterious, and the knight mechanism has always kept it secret... But obviously, the [Holy Grail] bears the same relationship as the one who has appeared in history. The cup of the saint’s blood is different... Are you the one who made the [Holy Grail]?”
"I didn't make it." Boss Luo shook his head, "But I am also capable of making it."
The boss stretched out his palm, and after a burst of light emerged from the palm of his hand, the [Holy Grail] that had been destroyed by Lancelot in the royal auditorium was restored bit by bit in front of Caesar's eyes...
When the last crack on the [Holy Grail] disappeared, the aura he sensed when he faced the [Holy Grail] hit him again.
Luo Qiu placed the [Holy Grail] on the desk in the study.
Caesar took a slow breath, but at this moment, his finger quietly pointed to the floor of the study room - his only intention at this time was to remind everyone in the room to leave the room as soon as possible.
He has already felt the gap in strength... and it is the kind of gap that is completely irreparable - he may not even have a chance to make a move... or even a chance to make a move.
"Don't you like it?"
Unexpectedly, just when Caesar was about to issue a warning, Boss Luo reached out and tapped a little on the [Holy Grail] - at this moment, the [Holy Grail] once again disintegrated directly in front of Caesar.
Restoring the [Holy Grail]...destroying the [Holy Grail], in less than ten seconds, is as simple as kneading a ceramic embryo out of clay.
What happened in front of him at this moment has caused Caesar's thinking to fall into a kind of stagnation... Or, in fact, he has been subjected to some kind of illusion magic since he entered the door?
But the warning originally planned was stopped because of this.
"We don't want to believe that what is happening before us is beyond our understanding."
Although the [Holy Grail] shattered and disintegrated directly under Luo Qiu's fingers, it did not disperse... but maintained a state like dispersed particles, as if it would reunite again at any time.
The boss's voice continued, "Just like tonight, the residents of Fog City find it hard to believe what happened. They look at you... and you look at this [Holy Grail], and it's the same."
"Why...you came to me."
It wasn't that he didn't believe it. The first time he thought that he might have been under some kind of illusion was because of the inertial protection of his mind... In fact, he had already experienced how powerful the other party was.
When he was unable to break through the invisible barrier in the theater... he knew it very well.
He didn't want to believe that the [Holy Grail], which was destroyed after a battle, could be created and destroyed so easily in the opponent's hands. Just as Tipu didn't want to imagine such power at that time, he used a defensive super secret treasure as an explanation. reason.
But when faced with these lies and the truth... he finally chose the unbelievable truth, and with a dry throat, he asked the doubts in his heart.
"I'm really just here to sell." Luo Qiu smiled and said, "I think you might need something...for you, for what you want to do in your life."
< br>
"You mean... [Holy Grail]?" Caesar frowned after being silent.
"You don't want the [Holy Grail]." Luo Qiu shook his head, "If you want the [Holy Grail], you have too many before Pugins has time to make a wish to the [Holy Grail]. The opportunity can be easily snatched from his hands... for Why, will you stay until the end? Although, the [Holy Grail] was destroyed in the process, which really surprised the initiator of this plan... the lady, and you - but obviously, you are also willing to see it. Its destruction."
"This kind of power should not remain in the world." Caesar said seriously: "How many Pugins will appear again and again because of the [Holy Grail]."
"That's why I want to recommend something else to you."
Luo Qiu smiled slowly, "A place where you...the orcs behind you, and even the orcs you have devoted your life to helping, can walk openly in the sunshine and in the sight of people."
"What did you say?" Caesar couldn't help but open his mouth.
"Let you feel it more intuitively." Boss Luo smiled at this time, and then snapped his fingers easily.
The world... shifted at this moment.
The study with orange and soft lighting disappeared from Caesar's eyes in less than a blink of an eye - and was replaced by a lively and prosperous town.
He and Luo Qiu were now standing on the wall of this huge town.
People walking in a hurry, medieval-style streets, and... all kinds of women, either wearing various strange armors, or holding staffs in their hands, dressed like magicians in fantasy.
Or maybe it's a beautiful person carrying a bow and arrow, who looks like a legendary elf.
Even...the orcs are either rough or petite, with obvious animalistic characteristics, walking normally on the streets, and talking to others casually...orcs.
"Here..." Caesar looked at everything in front of him with emotion.
Among all kinds of people, demihumans...even orcs, legendary elves, they walked freely on the streets.
Talking and laughing, talking about various topics... Yiren, Renrenhe did not hide his intentions.
For him, this moment seemed like he had arrived in the legendary Eden.
"Welcome to Origin Town."
Luo Qiu's voice sounded softly in Caesar's ears, "I named this world [Yis World]... This is a fantasy-style world, a... real world created by me. Here, Even the race of orcs will not be suppressed or excluded in any way, and humans will not be afraid of the existence of orcs. On the contrary, orcs are a very popular race among the team here... and they have even begun to appear here. A country belonging to the orcs”
Under the vast and almost infinite clear blue sky, the breeze passed over the city wall and ruffled Caesar's hair... He subconsciously placed his hands on the fence of the city wall and looked at everything below.
"I think this may be more appropriate than what you have been doing secretly, Mr. Caesar, to realize... and change the status quo of orc society..."
Luo Qiu said softly: "So, I plan to sell it to you. Of course, the only disadvantage here is... there is no such thing as the Internet yet, and living standards also vary according to different regions... The most advanced, probably It was only in the 1940s and 1950s that there was a slight suspicion of escape.”
"But even if it's an escape, it's enough..." Caesar turned around, "It's really... a sales pitch that no one can refuse."
……
It seemed like he had gone through a long journey... After coming back again, only ten minutes had passed.
The so-called salesman had left the study...and left the room.
What was left for Caesar was just a certificate that allowed him to freely access the world of Ys... Only those with orc blood could pass through it and enter that world.
——First, you need to explain the situation of this world to every orc.
——Second, whether to decide to go or not is not allowed to be decided through coercive means, it needs to be decided by the orcs themselves. If you agree, go. If you disagree, please eliminate everything he sees.
——Third, you have the opportunity to show the [Ys World] to the selected orcs each, but at the same time, once the orcs enter this world, they cannot return here again.
——Fourth, once you die in this world, your souls... belong to me.
And...the words he left behind.
"[Ys World], a world where we can live under the sun..."
Caesar sat at the desk, silently holding the certificate in his hand, lost in thought.
The rain outside has not stopped yet... He is very clear about the effect of the rain - this is a spell called 'Erasure of Memory' released by the magician force, which will make the residents who have experienced the Fog City incident , have selectively forgotten about the orcs and all supernatural things.
This was also the countermeasure he had prepared at the beginning when he and the Queen planned this operation.
Suddenly, Caesar felt that he had been doing something that wasted his energy over the years... A deep sense of fatigue came quietly - in front of the certificate in his hand.
He even had the urge to go out and soak in the rain falling from the sky... But this level of 'elimination spell' could not have an effect on inhumans at all - yes, even the weakest inhumans could. It cannot have an effect on it.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
It wasn't Judas, or Tip, or even Catherine's voice... but another voice, that of an older woman.
The voice of a maid who has been responsible for daily cleaning in this house...a most ordinary human being.
"Mr. Davis, Mr. Davis, are you in there? Can I come in?"
Caesar slowly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his body and even his appearance began to age at this time - he was no longer as handsome as a prince, but became more than forty years old. , an ordinary-looking man.
With a voice of this age, Caesar said slowly: "It's me...come in."
The maid opened the door and walked in. After seeing that it was really Mr. Davis, the owner of the house, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I seemed to hear a noise here, so I came over to take a look. I was afraid it was a thief."< br>
"It's okay, I'm looking at some documents." Caesar said calmly: "Besides, I will end my vacation tomorrow and then set off back to Northern Ireland. I'll leave it to you to take care of it."
"This is my job. I will definitely take good care of this house." The maid said very respectfully.
It's not okay if you don't take care of it carefully, because this place... is a property bought by Mr. Davis, the Chief Minister of Northern Ireland, in the foggy city for his daily vacation.
She has been working here for over ten years.
……
……
The Palace of Westminster... was the first place to be restored.
On the observation deck of the giant clock called the clock tower of the Palace of Westminster, Luo Qiu was looking at the city that had been restored bit by bit.
He suddenly said: "The city is like a rotating, huge clock. Everyone living here is a small part of it. Everyone has a role that cannot be ignored. . In this inhuman event, even ordinary people can still play their role... It was a very fulfilling night, aren't you right?"
Boss Luo turned around... Behind him, the maid lady walked slowly.
"It seems that the master had a really good time tonight."
"After all, this time, I still have to be a proper audience." Luo Qiu smiled, "...how do you feel about getting along with your student again?"
"It feels like... you let the naughty students put up a fight?"
The maid lady smiled half-heartedly... but her eyes had a gentleness that was rare in the past - to outsiders.
"That should also be a pleasant time." Luo Qiu smiled, then opened his palms... A seven-color flower began to emerge from his palms, "This is for you."
"The legendary Pansy." The maid girl naturally recognized it at a glance.
"Yes, although it's just a legend." Luo Qiu handed the flowers into the hands of the maid, "But it's good to let the legend become a reality."
It... is a real flower that grows naturally and violates the laws of nature. It's just that the time from creation to growth has been shortened.
Holding the Viola flower to her chest, the maid lowered her head and smiled, then raised her head and said, "Master, the punishment for the destruction of the [Holy Grail] has been issued... Eleanor very wisely took the initiative to request compensation. .”
"She..." Luo Qiu nodded, "When I looked at the account book, she seemed to be your previous... maid?"
"Do we want to increase her fine?" The maid said calmly: "I think it should be increased. It is also possible to stop her vacation immediately and let her return to work."
Luo Qiu just smiled and said, "Although I haven't seen it personally, at least I am a senior who has taught you for a while... Forget it this time. Besides..."
In the palm of the hand, the free [Holy Grail] appeared and gathered together again.
Only Luo Qiu said casually: "When this thing was created last time, it had its own self-healing ability. Now that I have got it back, there will be no problem. But... it is a bit inappropriate to let it stay here. .”
"Master plans to put it back in the warehouse?" the maid asked curiously.
"Hmm... let me think about it." Boss Luo pondered for a moment, and then some bad taste came over, and he had an idea... he waved his hand and opened a door.
critical gate.
I saw Boss Luo throwing the [Holy Grail] in casually, and then said: "The sub-world is random, it will also come with its own legend, and then it will be fought for... Well, why not call it [Holy Grail] War] right?”
The maid's gaze remained... Anyway, as long as the master is happy, that's fine.
……
Luo Qiu suddenly said at this time: "By the way, the 'Doomsday Myth' should disappear from this world little by little until it is completely wiped out... In this way, you don't have to stand in front of a dictionary."
The rain stopped.
The boss and the maid stayed together on the middle tower until dawn... When the city was completely restored, the first ray of dawn began to move towards them from the end of the horizon.
The seven-colored pansy in her hand is bathed in the dawn light and is blooming.
