Chapter 595 Between Destiny (1)
Leaving the banquet hall and continuing along the corridor, this time turning a right-angled bend, there was finally a fork in the road ahead.
In other words, it is a circular foyer.
All kinds of furniture and decorations are available. The circular foyer connects the corridors in four directions, and on the wall in the middle, there is a huge metal relief.
The carving is naturally the pattern of the world tree most worshiped by the ancient elves.
After taking a look at the situation in the room, Aldai threw out another set of detection triples to confirm that there was no problem, and then got closer.
Looking closer, you can see a line of words engraved under the World Tree.
The words are in the ancient Elvish language, which is very different from the current Elvish language. Even a knowledgeable person like Aldai would not be able to recognize what is written on it.
This kind of writing has long been lost, and it is very different from the modern Elvish language. Even if the most authoritative linguist in the academic city is dragged over, he can only be blinded.
"Yeah, I understand."
Zola nodded to the air again, turned around and said:
"It says 'Welcome to destiny, may you find your destiny, no matter what it is', this is what your Majesty told me."
"Destiny? Your Majesty really said that?"
Judging from this tone, Aldai seemed to know.
"Troublesome?"
"It cannot be simply described as troublesome or not..."
Aldai shook his head and said:
"The elves at that time were very superstitious about prophecies, and they believed that prophecies were the future that was caused by countless conditions and the most likely state to come true among countless choices."
"Um...Professor, can you make it easier to understand?"
These words deceived even Nemea.
"Well, to put it simply, whatever things we encounter in our destiny are all related to ourselves. Different people will see different things when they come in."
This is why Aldai and the others saw the images of Avarus's ancestors. They saw them because they were Aldai's ancestors. There was a certain connection between the two.
The good news is that if you follow this line, you can eventually find the Ring of the Demon King. On the one hand, it is because of the connection between Aldai and her ancestors, and on the other hand, the three of them are all believers of the Demon King. If the Seven Apostles Hiding the Demon King's Ring here, fate will inevitably lead them to find it.
But the bad news is that this connection can lead to uncertain results.
For example, Nemea is a tiefling. When she comes to Destiny, she might see her evil ancestors...
This is a bit of a bummer.
Destiny shows all the possibilities of a person's past, present and future, as well as everything related to them.
This Elf Mystery Lock is indeed something.
But having said that, it may seem fancy now, but in fact during the ancient elves, this place was probably just a supporting facility for the amusement park.
It’s roughly equivalent to the so-called ‘numerical fortune-telling, scientifically distinguishing good or bad’ machines you see in amusement parks...
It's very down to earth to say that.
No matter what, it has come and you still have to move on.
There is actually no difference between the four entrances connected by the foyer. After all, it is a place where destiny is displayed. It doesn't matter which way you take.
The three of them chose the path on the far left and walked along the corridor that was still covered with red carpet.
This time, I didn't go far when I saw a wooden door in front of me.
After the door opened, there was a room similar to the guest room we saw before, but the style was a little different.
All the furnishings in the rooms I saw before were brand new, but here they looked very shabby, and you could see wounds like they were cut with long swords everywhere. The sponges in the sofa popped out, as if they were once inside. There was a fight with swords. The three of them came in and wanted to explore the area, but as soon as they entered the door, they suddenly felt their foreheads sink.
The scenery in front of them was spinning and distorting rapidly, as if their field of vision was spinning. When the three of them blinked, they found that the dilapidated room had regained its original appearance.
In addition, they also saw two people standing in the center of the room.
One is a woman with blue hair that I saw before, and the other is also a woman, but with indigo hair. Both have horns on their heads, and they both hold a sword in their hands, as if they are confronting each other.
"Stop! We cannot betray Him!"
The woman with indigo hair roared angrily:
“You have no idea how terrible the darkness is that you believe in!”
The blue-haired woman was not as calm as she had seen in the previous images. Her hair was disheveled, her eyes were red, her face seemed to be twisted into a ball, and she looked crazy.
Hearing the roar, she screamed: "What is there in the dark that you and I should be afraid of?"
Then he waved the gleaming sword in his hand like crazy:
"We belong to Him! He is calling us, encouraging us! Helping us! Can't you see it!"
"The one you can't see is you!"
The indigo-haired woman continued to roar: "Take a good look at yourself! You no longer look like a noble high-ranking demon. You have been tortured by humans for too long. I knew that, then A group of short-lived species have absolutely no good intentions.”
"Shut up! Humanity has shown me something greater than the Demon King God, and I will carry out His will!"
"madness!"
"I will witness His rise, a great moment that my father, who can only kneel before tyrants, has never witnessed. I will gain a prominent position that he never dreamed of. I will become... God!"
"You're crazy!"
"No, my friend, I am soberer now than ever."
The indigo-haired woman seemed to have made up her mind. She raised her sword:
"Your Majesty, grant me courage and strength, and I will serve as your sword to carry out your will!"
The blue-haired woman sneered:
"Oh, He is no longer here."
"But He is still at the highest place in my heart!"
After that, the two started fighting, and in the countless sword rays, the furniture in the room returned to ruin.
Aldai and the other three blinked, and only then did they notice that apart from the three of them, there was no one else in the room.
“That was also an image just now?”
"I feel a little dizzy."
Aldai also felt a little dizzy. She tapped her forehead and said, "Dizziness is normal. Take a deep breath. This should be a side effect of the spell acting directly on the brain."
Rather than saying it was an image, it was better to say that what the three Aldai saw was actually part of the memory of this room.
Part of it, the memories related to them.
After taking a few deep breaths, the three of them felt that the dizziness was fading away. At this time, Neemia suddenly said: "The woman with indigo hair just now, I feel a bit like Captain Zola."
"Yeah?"
“Especially when you believe in one thing, you are particularly religious.”
Aldai also said the same thing, maybe that person is really Zola's ancestor.
As soon as he finished speaking, the three of them heard a soft sound of something falling to the ground.
If you follow the sound, you will see a long sword falling out of the gap behind the sofa. The hilt is engraved with a holy emblem with three flame-like patterns in a five-pointed star...
