Chapter 207 The Last Moment
When the palace with a simple charm appeared in front of him, Luke knew that he had reached the destination of his trip.
Although I have used the future vision to peek before, actually seeing the real thing is still a great shock.
Even the palaces in the royal city may not be more gorgeous than this, Luke commented as he walked through the huge garden that was almost endless.
Generally speaking, elves are not very dependent on material conditions. They can live in a luxurious and exquisite house, a simple temporary room, or even use magic to build a wooden house in the forest to live happily.
Celia, the strongest person who has survived from the mythical age to the present, has shown her strength and arrogance just from her residence. As a spectator who has truly experienced endless years and experienced various experiences, she herself is A monument of the times.
Luke pushed open the heavy door, and both sides of the road leading to the throne were lit up with magical light. Celia's petite body sat casually on the throne, behind her was an unimaginably huge demon. Guide the sea of books.
He bowed slightly to the ancient elf.
"Lord Celie, I am Luke, Frilian's disciple."
Celia sat up slightly, acting a little casually.
"Why are you calling me sir? You don't look like you like to use honorifics."
Lu Ke replied calmly: "Because I have something to ask for."
"I I like your frankness." Celia stood up from the throne and walked to Luke barefoot, "We should have met not long ago."
"About one hundred and forty years ago. I have used future vision to look at you."
Celia looked at him for a moment and showed a somewhat evil smile, "You are very strong, and I like this very much. Answer me, you. What is your favorite magic?"
Obviously, this answer will determine her attitude.
Luke lowered his eyes. He knew that Celia was keen on fighting and liked to regard magic as a tool.
"For me, magic is a valuable subject, no matter whether I like it or hate it."
The smile on the corner of Celie's mouth widened silently, and she heard the next sentence immediately after.
“If I have to say one thing, it is the magic of conjuring a meteor shower.”
He didn't want to lie. Anyway, with his own strength, Mu Qiang's Seria wouldn't be so annoying that he wouldn't help, and his goal would definitely be achieved.
“It’s an ornamental magic again.”
As expected, Celia lost most of her interest, stretched herself casually, and returned to the throne.
“Forget it, let’s talk about your demands.”
Lu Ke took out the pamphlet that he and Fulilian had filled in part of the content. Celia glanced at it briefly, her face It's a little more solemn.
“Qibengxian’s magic is one of the very few that is not in my inventory, but theoretically it cannot be learned.”
“I have learned it, although It’s a semi-finished product.”
“Yes, you learned the magic that should not have been learned by beings other than the Great Demon Clan, even though it is only a semi-finished product.”
Salie’s brows frowned. , she clicked lightly, and the pamphlet turned into fragments and fell to the ground. Then flames rose up from the fragments and slowly turned into ashes.
“I’ll give you a piece of advice, don’t continue.”
"What if I persist?"
Celia: "Do you know why I don't take action to destroy the demons?"
Lu Ke thought for a moment: "Because the magic of the demons is very interesting. If the demons are extinct, you won’t be able to see or analyze new interesting magic.”
“The same is true for humans. A peaceful and easy life will destroy fighting spirit, stifle imagination and motivation to move forward. Only the stimulation of the demons will give birth to more outstanding magicians.”
“You’re right. It’s obvious that the demons destroyed the elf village, and it’s obvious that I can completely destroy the demons, but I never thought about it. Take action."
Celia sat up straight and looked at Luke from a bird's eye view.
“The higher I stand and the farther I see, the farther I see. I have already jumped out of the ordinary perspective. Race, camp, and hatred don’t matter. The most important thing is that the situation must develop according to my wishes.”< br>
“The more powerful you are, the more you will have no scruples. The more powerful you will be, the less restrained you will be. You must get what you want. It doesn’t matter if you overturn the chessboard if you are annoyed.”
“Go back, everything. It’s the best arrangement.”
“This is the second time I’ve heard this.”
The elf of the Gods who is closest to the omniscient and omnipotent goddess, the brave man of the south who can see the past and the future, Luke believes that if Shorahat and himself are in the same camp, they will hear it a third time.
"My answer will not change, I refuse."
Saelia was silent for a moment, her face gradually turned cold, and the sea of books behind her suddenly began to surge, and then several thick notebooks It flew out and landed in front of Luke.
"Since you insist so much, just study by yourself from now on, and don't let Fulilian help anymore."
Luke put away the books sent by Celie one by one. Bowed to her from afar.
“Thank you for your generosity.”
He bowed, turned around and left, disappearing behind the door.
Seeing her disciple leave so neatly, a strange color flashed in Sailie's eyes.
"You don't seem to be stupid. The hint I gave is obvious enough. He should have guessed it more or less, why is he still so stubborn."
After a long time, she sighed.
"The situation is getting a bit serious now. Do you want to find a place to hide from the limelight..."
...
The war situation in the northern countries is anxious.
After it was confirmed that the Hero of the South had died due to the curse of Tod, the Last Saint of the Great Demon Clan, the adventurers who had lost their spiritual support suddenly lost their fighting spirit and suffered various tragic defeats in the battle. Panic.
At this critical moment, the team led by the brave Simmel was overwhelming, wiping out all the demons in its path and achieving an excellent record.
Sinmel's strength is also outstanding among the braves, and the monk Haita also performed well, and he can easily master the difficult goddess magic in the holy book.
What is even more surprising is the previously unknown elf magician Fulian.
The demon-killing magic in her hand can be called a special attack against demons. It has powerful defense-ignoring and penetration effects, and she ruined all the demons, earning her the title of "The Buried Fulian".
After the famous warrior Aize joined the team, the team's reputation experienced another surge.
In addition, the brave team always helps people they meet and eliminates nearby monsters, which has been widely praised by the people. Many people have confirmed that this team can end the devil and usher in peace.
After a difficult battle, the brave team sat together to warm themselves by the fire.
Although there were many conflicts among the teammates at the beginning, after they got used to each other, they developed a considerable degree of affection.
To celebrate Simmel's twenty-fifth birthday, Aize prepared a huge warrior burger steak, one for each member.
Simmel, who was summing up after the war, recalled Fulilian’s performance and couldn’t help but ask.
"Fulillian, your demon-killing magic is really strong. Is it specially developed to deal with monsters?"
Fulillian, who was eating a hamburger, stopped. , answered after swallowing the meat in his mouth.
"No, it was taught to me by Luke the night before departure. According to him, it was an imitation of the magic made by the corrupt sage of the great demon clan..."
said As she spoke, Fulian, who was recalling the scene before departure, was stunned for a moment, "It seems that I haven't told Luke about the investigation yet."
Simmel remembered that the driver was impatient and interrupted when he left. The dialogue asked: "Are you investigating something important?"
"...Nothing."
Fulilian frowned, seeming a little entangled, and finally shook her head without mentioning the matter in detail, "Let's talk to him when I get back. It won't be long before it's over."
Hai drank wine Ta smiled drunkenly, "After all, the Demon King's City is right ahead."
...
The next morning, the Demon King's City.
Haita, who was holding the holy book, said with doubts in his tone, "This place is even more empty than I thought. Shouldn't the Demon King's City be the place where the largest number of great demons gather?"
Along the way, they encountered almost nothing except a few new-generation demon generals and a large demon whose strength could only be considered average.
Fulian, who was holding the staff, spoke calmly, "Because this place was destroyed once more than a hundred years ago. Qibengxian and several famous demons have long since died. The generation has not grown up yet. "This journey can be said to be too smooth.
Aize's body trembled, "Who did it?"
As a dwarf, he had seen the demon clan in its heyday when he was a child, and it was indeed better than the demon clan in its heyday. Much stronger now.
"It must be Mr. Luke."
Simmel, holding the sword in his hand, stared at the surroundings cautiously. Even if he did not find the demons, he would always remain vigilant.
Through the wide open doors, everyone came to the deepest room.
“How to open this?”
Faced with a door that had no flaws and was completely immune to attacks, Simmel had a slight difficulty.
"I don't know, Luke also stopped here."
Fulillian thought for a while, "If it is from the inside, it should be able to open it."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a vibration from the door, followed by a dull sound as it slowly opened.
Amazing magic fluctuations came from the room. The figure sitting on the throne slowly raised his head, and his scarlet eyes pierced the faces of the four people.
So strong!
It's not at the same level as the previous demons!
Everyone looked on guard. They had no time to wonder why the door would open on its own initiative and made all pre-preparations for attack and defense.
"Demons cannot have feelings. The feelings I have are a kind of punishment, which makes me trapped and tortured in this small space."
"But punishment is also a loophole. As long as If I can overcome my fear of death, I can open the door."
"Shurahat will fulfill my wish."
The demon king stepped down from the throne, and the armor on his body made a metal collision. There was a sound, and the dark sword in his hand glowed with a strange light.
"I will not sit still and wait for death, come on, brave men!"
......
As a trading city, Barum is always lively during the day.
After getting Celie's note, Luke finally relaxed a little and rarely had time to wander around the city.
Compared with more than two hundred years ago, this place has become more prosperous, with an endless stream of traders and many more shops.
He purchased a large amount of supplies and stopped after filling all the space-folding suitcases.
In front of the central fountain, his statue has been removed and replaced by an unknown middle-aged man, who seems to be the current city lord.
The streets in his memory have become extremely strange and do not look familiar at all, but Luke no longer hates this feeling. Change is the normal state of life.
The sky gradually darkens, and the bustle on the street slowly dissipates over time.
After Luke returned to the mansion, he packed his luggage and said goodbye to the contemporary head of the Campbell family.
The contemporary family head respects this living fossil ancestor very much and tries his best to retain him. At the same time, he constantly asks whether there is anything he has not taken good care of.
"You arranged it well, but I have other things to do and have to leave for a while."
Lu Ke refused calmly.
While the past is seen as complete, he cannot see the future. Judging from the performance of the Southern Brave and Celie, it should not be a good thing, so staying away from the crowd is what he should do.
Luke left the mansion with his suitcase and walked through the streets paved with red bricks and cement, through the alleys that gradually became secluded and dilapidated, through the wasteland full of grass and thorns, and came to a place wrapped in a barrier and covered with thorns. Deep, long weedy patches.
He took out the rosewood staff, and the weeds withered instantly, and the sea of flowers bloomed again, revealing the hidden tombstone in the depths.
After gently stroking the tombstone and removing the moss from it, Lu Ke spoke softly.
"The final completion will be done here."
Shielding magic covered this already deserted area. Luke took out the magic notes given by Celie and absorbed them bit by bit. With knowledge, a person's journey of completing magic begins.
......
The brave men who successfully defeated the Demon King returned to the royal city and accepted the king's reward.
The reputations of the brave Simmel, the monk Haita, the warrior Aize and the magician Fulian resounded throughout the continent, and statues of the four began to be cast in various places.
The royal city was brightly lit at night, and an unprecedented grand banquet was held.
The brave team gathered together and complained to each other about the unreliability of their teammates during the journey, and then everyone couldn't help but laugh softly.
Simmel sighed a little, "Although it's all terrible things, it's great to be able to adventure with you. I'm very happy about this journey."
Fulillian poured cold water on it unconsciously. , "Although it is a short journey."
Simmel did not refute, showing a somewhat complicated expression.
"Yes, although it is a short journey."
Countless meteors flashed across the sky, and the strange beauty suddenly attracted everyone's attention and diluted the melancholy.
Haita sighed with emotion: "Half-century meteor, it is indeed a good opening ceremony for peace."
"So that's it, the magic was made according to this scene."
Simmel pursed his lips, and the fire in his heart slowly extinguished.
After watching it for a while, Fulian commented: "It's not clear in the city."
"Others are sighing, you must have a good eye."
"Let's wait until next time."
Facing the astonishment of her teammates, Fulian lowered her head and spoke casually.
"Fifty years from now, I know a place where the meteor shower will look even more beautiful, and I will take you there."
Two humans and a dwarf who is about to enter old age look at each other. , a little helpless.
It is really difficult for them to understand fifty years in the eyes of elves.
......
When the time came to say goodbye, Fulilian took her suitcase and said goodbye to her teammates.
“What are you going to do next?”
“An annoying guy asked me to go to her place, and I might have to stay there for a while.”
< br>After receiving the message from her master whom she had not contacted for hundreds of years, Fulilian's face wrinkled up and she didn't understand what Celie was paying attention to.
"Anyway, I will come out and watch shooting stars with you in fifty years."
After that, she waved to several people and left without looking back.
Seeing the elf's figure getting smaller and smaller, Haita poked Simmel's waist.
“Are you sure you don’t want to pursue me?”
A wry smile appeared on Simmel’s handsome face, “Haita, will you fall in love with a terminally ill patient who can only live for a few days?”
“I am a monk, I will not be flirtatious with women.”
Ai Ze, who was silent, suddenly said: “I am obviously a meat-and-wine monk who eats wine and meat.”
A few people, including Haita, couldn't help laughing. When the laughter calmed down, Simmel shook his head gently.
"That's good."
He looked in the direction where Fulilian left and repeated, "That's good."
