Chapter 413: The First Sword Holder in Heaven
Terra Calendar 1590.12.7.
New Lisbon Island Hub·Island City.
The originally gloomy weather over the island city began to dissipate, and the strange barrier on the sky base began to cast sunlight.
The aborigines living on the hub islands raised their heads in surprise and looked at the sunlight shining down. The fear in recent days has shrouded the hearts of the residents of each hub. They still remember in their hearts that day at noon. When it arrived, the entire island was shaken by strong winds.
The wind that blew that day was very cold, bitingly cold, and the clouds turned pitch black in the blink of an eye, with no sunlight able to penetrate. Something must be different. Something terrible.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the sea in the distance.
Storms are not common in the New Lisbon Island hub.
A dark shadow rose on the horizon, gradually getting bigger and bigger.
When it got closer, it raised its head above the water, the atmosphere became tense and silence enveloped everything.
At the end of the horizon, a dark shadow began to rise, gradually growing larger.
When the black shadow approached and exposed its head, the horror that was visible appeared before everyone's eyes.
Five glowing eyes flashed in the darkness, reflecting a terrifying scene. The huge creature stopped swimming and slowly stood up, revealing its body as half dragon and half sea monster. Its head is covered with scales, its five arms are stretched out, and its five tentacles are swaying on the water. Then, the terrifying magic flame suddenly spurted out, and the white flame rushed towards the center of the city like a violent wind.
The beast seems to understand the cry of the world, and the flame becomes its messenger. Half of the palace quickly collapsed in the flames and became a victim of the flames. The remaining half was also attacked by the impact and flames, and was dilapidated, like the ruins of a city trampled by huge monsters.
The beast then turned around and moved on, its target being the city.
The fire brought death, and along the way, the places where humans lived became ashes and ruins.
A symphony of destruction, the flames are like arrows of divine punishment, engulfing the city. People have nowhere to hide, and their lives are extinguished in terror.
************
On the broken city wall, a middle-aged man wearing a black trench coat closed his eyes tightly. The style and cut of the trench coat seemed to be foggy. A representative of both styles. The color of the trench coat complements his overall image. The black color reveals a mysterious and solemn atmosphere, neatly wrapping his body, making it easy for people to notice his seriousness.
Middle-aged appearance, not old-fashioned, and capable temperament.
His straight hair stood up straight from the hairline without any mess. The neat hairstyle and the intimidating eyes gave him a cold sense of oppression all over his body.
At this moment, the man frowned. He seemed to be reminiscing or immersed in some unspeakable supernatural state. He was talking in a low voice.
“When it sneezes, it gives off light; its eyes are like the morning rays.
From its mouth come burning torches and flying sparks;
Smoke came out of its nostrils like boiling pots and burning reeds
Its breath ignited the coals, and flames came from its mouth.
There is strength in its neck, and those in front of it are frightened and jump.
The pieces of its flesh are connected with each other, close to its body and cannot be shaken.
Its heart is as solid as a stone, as solid as a millstone.
When it came together, the warriors were frightened, panicked, and even fell into a coma.
If one uses a sword, a spear, a javelin, or a pointed spear to pierce it, it will be useless.
It uses iron for hay and copper for rotten wood.
Arrows cannot intimidate it into flight; slings and stones are regarded as stubble to it, and sticks are regarded as stubble; it laughs at the whizzing sound of a short spear.
The underside of its belly is like a pointed tile, and it is like a rake passing through the mud.
It makes the abyss boil like a cauldron, and the oceans like oil in a cauldron.
Its path then glows, making one think of the abyss as white hair.
There is nothing on earth as fearless as it.
It despises all tall things, and it reigns supreme over the proud water tribe. ”
After he finished talking, Felix Manz suddenly opened his brown falcon-like eyes. His eyes were full of oppression, deep and sharp, as if he was ready to attack at any time. He sees everything instantly, and the calmness and confidence in his eyes reveal his decisiveness and determination.
"Is this the result of your psychic, a [Leviathan]?" ”
A calm voice sounded in Manz's ears, and he turned his head to look at his "companion" aside.
It was a man wearing a black priest's robe. He was about thirty years old and looked extremely handsome. The black priest's robe looked calm and dignified in the dim light. He was holding a book in his right hand. The book has a faint light on its pages. The binding of this book is old and the pages are yellowed, just like an ancient document. He holds a black umbrella tightly in his left hand, and the umbrella cover is gently bent in his hand, forming a circle. A protective posture.
This man's face is very handsome, with clear facial features, revealing an aura of maturity and determination. His eyes were amber, deep and calm, as if they were the eyes of a calm wise man, exuding indifference and calmness.
“Sauron..., Lord Saint Valentine, this is indeed a [Leviathan]-level crisis. This time Eden dispatched two sword-wielders and a deep space force Being mobilized on such a scale, the outside world thought that the Kingdom of Heaven was going to launch another war against [Atlantis]," Manz replied to the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven.
“You don’t need to use the honorific title for me, just call me Valentine. Moreover, this time it’s not just the two sword-holders, but also you, Manz, the inner-level deliberation of the Heavenly Tribunal Council. Member of the Order, Grand Master of the Gray Knights, and a major member of the Anabaptists." Saint Valentine took over the other person's words in a calm tone. At the same time, he seemed to feel something and looked up at the sunlight that suddenly shone down from the sky.
"It's dawn."
Hearing this, Mantz also raised his head to look at the sunlight falling from the huge barrier. He seemed to sense an angel from a very far away place.
"Hugh Abraham, an ambitious young man, a new generation of power used by the Kingdom of Heaven to maintain its hegemony and authority in turbulent times." Manz said without hesitation in front of the first sword holder. My own evaluation of the fourth sword holder in heaven.
"By the way, as a sword holder, what do you think of him?" Manz then asked.
"Geniuses are like storms: they go against the wind; they are formidable; they make the air clean." Saint Valentine said simply.
"I've only met him a few times, and I've only seen him through the projection. I already have such a high opinion of him." Manz's eyes flashed with a little surprise, as if he was surprised by the other person's opinion of the fourth person in the Kingdom of Heaven. Comments from the sword bearer.
“Judge a person is just like a child recognizing the difference between himself and the outside world. It takes a child some time to learn to distinguish himself from the objects around him. For a long time, he will not be able to distinguish himself from the outside world. The environment he is in is different, so he will emphasize his passive side and say such immature words as "I can fly". Children always love fantasy, so children are always children and adults are always adults. "
"So he has some characteristics that are so strong that he is separated from the mainstream of Terra, which makes you think he is a unique angel? Is this the case for every sword wielder in your eyes? No matter he or he, you all have the same characteristics?”
“Perhaps, every angel has this characteristic to a greater or lesser extent, just as I have outlined the concept of transcendentalism in heaven: It is subjective in the sense that a unique person (angel) should seek and make it my truth, even though I am the subject who chooses it. It is subjective, that is, I should use it as a basis to transform my subjectivity and my personality, and I should act according to it.
What humans lack is to let themselves understand what they should do. What should you know? Although knowledge should obviously come before action, the important thing is to find your own goal and clarify what you can really do in the dark - the key is to find a truth, a kind of truth for me. Truth is a belief for oneself, not a belief of righteous love for neighbor. Heaven loves mankind, but mankind should love itself more than anyone else. Therefore, everyone must find the kind of faith that I will live for. A concept to die for.
Hugh Abraham, his pace of progress was always so decisive. Ever since his fame resounded throughout the kingdom of heaven, you have never heard of him stopping. Isn't the goal he aimed for the reason why you evaluate his ambition? ”
Saint Valentine was talking, holding a book and an umbrella, walking slowly in the ruined city, while the Gray Knights of the Anabaptists followed closely. To his side, the main body of his gaze has been following the first sword holder, and from the corner of his eye, he is looking at the extremely poor thaumaturgy prying around and the aliens and humans in front of him who are trying to pretend to encounter each other by chance. They are 90% similar. The only difference is that they are roughly over 2 meters tall, and their hands exude silver light.
"Alien..." A trace of scarlet flashed across the eyes of the Gray Knight Grand Master. Sheen, while Saint Valentine on the side knocked the ground with the tip of his umbrella. The invisible ripples like water silently covered the terrifying murderous intention, and also covered up the subsequent conversation between them. .
“We are not the ones going to war. This is a two-front operation. Abraham and I are doing it openly and covertly, and the purpose is just to calm the turmoil in Iberia. "Saint Valentine said calmly to Mantz, "Moreover, what you Anabaptists want to come here this time has its own problems. ”
"What's the problem, Valentine?"
"Well, I noticed that the head of the Kingdom of Heaven research team's personal diary entry for [Avalon System] was attached to this file. Although there are many subjective guesses above. It is too consistent with the filing standards of the Kingdom of Heaven [Central Containment Room], but Eden still filed the document. Although this may involve abuse of power, the problem is not these, but some of the above conjectures. "
< br>The number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven said words that made Mantz's heart tremble.
"I think these supplementary materials are just speculation. I have read relevant documents and his conjecture is not reliable." Mantz's tone became a little lower.
"Is this really the case?" "You don't want to interfere with the Anabaptists' actions just to read a document, do you? Our permission to operate has been uploaded to Eden and has been approved."
"I just wanted to talk to you about this [Avalon]. As we'll get to, it's the one you have the most... hopes for."
"What?" Mantz I felt a little nervous in my heart, secretly thinking that it was not good.
"I am just considering whether to restore it. I know that you intend to use it as a means of protection in the most dangerous locations and facilities. This is just an overt idea, but secretly you intend to put it into [Rutland] Plan], you didn’t report it to Eden, which is very bad.”
The Gray Knight Grand Master’s body froze for a moment, and his tone became deeper.
"Is this a threat from Eden or a threat from you?"
Saint Valentine did not answer directly, he just continued to talk about [Avalon System]:
"These barriers , these protections, they do not fail because of disrepair, which is only a small part of the reason, but they are inherently wrong, because they are destined to be so, their sources are unstable, just like Ibi. Leah's extraordinary paths are ordinary, and we need to investigate their origins to better understand the real evil buried deep within Iberia."
"These conclusions of yours are not widely supported. Ding, I have to remind you that the decision-making assembly and the tribunal are still the core institutions of the Kingdom of Heaven. The sword-bearers never have too much decision-making power. I do not agree with that assessment and your current one-sided judgment. This is just you, and that. A theory endorsed by researchers, a theory that has never been proven," Manz said with some displeasure.
“Now that the entire island has been destroyed, who has the leisure to do time-consuming academic research at this time?” St. Valentine continued.
"We just need its prototypes to run well."
"Even if the danger it brings is unspeakable?"
"We understand what we are doing.", Manz looked into those amber eyes and said seriously: "The Anabaptists are different from those crisisist angels. We are not afraid of Eden. We are just for the Little Garden Project and to solve the problem of [eternal recurrence]."
Saint Valentine did not continue chatting on this topic, he knew it was unnecessary.
“Let’s go, the royal families who are standing here eagerly are waiting for our arrival. They are aliens, but their ideas at the moment should be more in line with your or the Anabaptism’s ideas. You want to use them as samples for experiments. , now the opportunity has come to you.”
The two stopped and looked forward. At this moment, the silver-hand royal family came, headed by a tall and muscular man, two meters tall. His skin has a silvery sheen, as if it were a masterpiece carved by the moonlight; his eyes are deep and bright, shining with rainbow colors; his long blond hair hangs down like a waterfall, reaching to his waist, and every strand is Golden ripples appeared in the light and shadow.
Tel Nanan Ogg, the proud son of the Silver Hand royal family, came respectfully in front of the two heavenly angels. He put his right hand on his chest and spread his fingers to show the family crest, while his left hand It will sag naturally. This is the Silverhand family's way of showing respect to the person they hold in the highest esteem.
"Tel Nanan Ogg, you two guides on this trip. At this moment, I sincerely welcome you to the new island city of Lisbon. The Silver Hand Royal Family is extremely grateful for your presence. It's an honor."
Manz had no expression on his face and simply nodded. His behavior was undoubtedly extremely arrogant to the local residents living in the local area. The silver guards around the prince were dissatisfied. , they held the huge silver alchemy sword behind them, and the blue thaumaturgy stone on their chests emitted a light blue glow.
"Presumptuous!" The prince scolded the guards angrily, and the guards lowered their heads.
"I'm very sorry, you two." Tyr expressed his apology to the two angels.
Mantz watched this ridiculous performance calmly, while the number one sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven politely returned the salute and said a flat sentence at the same time.
"Hello."
This made the prince feel relieved. It seems that the angels in heaven can still talk. They are not all as arrogant and barbaric as the rumors say. Unreasonable and domineering...
Not long after the prince felt relieved, the words of the first sword holder in front of him rang out again.
"I received an envelope from another sword holder here. It seems that you are related to the International Research Center for Unified Thaumaturgy. Two members of the royal family graduated from them..." At this point, Shengwa Lunding paused for a moment, and his amber eyes looked at the prince whose expression was suddenly stagnant. He saw [ripples of relationship] in the other person.
"I see, that person is you, the prince."
With a look of fear on his face, Manz began to distance himself from the indifferent Saint Valentine.
He saw the first sword holder's [Flower in the Mirror, Water and Moon].
Jing Hua Shui Yue, this is the ability to express the core authority of the first sword holder in the Kingdom of Heaven - one of the branches of [Realms of Survival].
This ability can be divided into three categories:
First: Cognition and distinction between self and the outside world.
Second: the morality and ethics of human beings (with it as the core).
Third: Human transcendence.
It can also be understood as the control of the id, ego and superego.
Just like the second sword holder is called "The One Who Wrestles with the Gods", Saint Valentine also has other nicknames, and one of his nicknames is - "The One Who Looks at the Three Goddesses of Fate/The One Who Looks in the Mirror" .
As he said at the beginning, you must know the difference between yourself and the outside world.
So, like the three goddesses who manipulate the threads that symbolize the destiny of all people and gods, he can gaze at the lines of "relationships", he can see lies, and he can also restore brokenness.
He can be one or many.
At this moment, Ter Nanan Ogg only felt a trance in front of his eyes. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was standing on the water surface out of thin air in a silver-white lake deep inside him. superior.
The sky was filled with a huge silver moon. He was so close that he could see the holes above, which made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"Can you tell me the information about Iberia's artificial base? I know you must know it." A familiar voice sounded from all around, and Tyer raised his eyes in horror. Then, he saw The first sword holder in heaven.
One, two, four...
Illusion? when? Why didn't Avalon react? ?
“You know what you are doing!!!” Tyr roared inwardly.
"You won't remember what happened, just less than a second." Saint Valentine's voice came from all directions.
"You..."
"Out of politeness, I will use a gentler method to inquire. My other partner may need your information very much now, about the fog. The Kingdom of the Sea and the missing artificial island, and I also need him to investigate some things."
Saint Valentine tapped the handle of the umbrella with his left index finger, and the next moment, the authority was activated.
『Flowers in the Mirror and Moon in the Water·The image is sinking! 』
A terrible sense of horror engulfed Prince Tyr, and when he woke up again, he found himself deep in a unique place.
This place is a huge ship.
This is [Icefield Walker]? Prince Tyr subconsciously said in his heart, he felt a huge sense of absurdity, and his identity began to distort.
The next moment, he rubbed his dizzy head.
“I seem to have had a terrible nightmare?”
He muttered to himself, then walked outside the ship.
