Black Dragon Code

"Of course not!"

Cruiseen Great Sage sternly shouted to the Pip Prophet who fell on his knees.

In the center of the temple is an Atuso Divine Idol made of corundum. The Divine Idol is majestic and in the form of a serious-faced Velost race with a straight nose, thin lips and sharp eyebrows. The direct sense of not getting close. Atuso's left hand hung down naturally, his right hand held the long sword hilt, and the sword grid was inlaid with a dark red gem.

Around Pip, the black clothed prophets stood silently, their faces shrouded in their wide hoods, and they followed Divine Idol with low eyebrows and motionless.

Looking from Pip’s perspective, Great Sage’s cold attitude is almost the same as that of a stone statue. He was silent for a while and said, “But, that’s Egon, the destroyer of the world. "

"Stupid judgment! Egon is not an extraordinary thing. It appears to open a new cycle of reincarnation. It is Supreme, an existence worthy of you and me." Great Sage stared at Pip's eyes: "And you The monster in the mouth is just the distorted and filthy other Sea Clan wild beast that's all."

"If it's not Egon." Pip said, "Then why the great Divine King didn't lower the divine force and squeeze it to death. Evil Sea Clan?"

"Profanity!"

The scepter hit the ground with a heavy thump, making a muffled sound: "Do you think God is our servant? God created us, It allowed us to speak and walk, and gave us life and wisdom. Now, you blame God for the incompetence and failure of mortals. Are you accusing Spiritual God?"

Pip shuddered when she heard it. Aware of my problem, I immediately bow my head and confess.

"I know the Golden King will not agree. Why do we obey the order of the alien?" Great Sage said, then relaxed, and peeked forward with his upper body: "I know, that wild beast The powerful force shook you, and you felt fear, right?"

Pip was afraid to answer, and touched his forehead.

"Fear is a good thing." Great Sage said: "You are not the first, and you will not be the last. Mortal thoughts are based on barren flesh, so it is easy to treat those strong and vicious Feeling afraid, this is the reason why the temple exists. We are pursuing the ascent of Atuso. When the god is in the body, fear is impossible to talk about."

"So, are you not afraid? "Pip asked in a tentative tone.

"Of course." Great Sage nodded, "The path to the pursuit of God's protection has never been cut off, but only the most pious and tenacious prophet can pass the test and receive the supreme divine force."

Pip raised his head and widened his eyes. He has served in the temple for half his life, but he has never heard of something like this. He tremblingly asked: "Can I live the test of Divine King?"

"You?" Great Sage shook his head: "Why? Why do you want Atuso's blessing. You have shamed the prophet and the temple has lost its majesty. The entire Golden City is disdainful."

Pip lowered his head He didn’t speak, in fact, he was so pious to Divine King not at all, but he saw that Black Dragon destroyed the entire Legion tribe. Pip’s spiritual world was greatly impacted. He was afraid of monsters like that, but he was deep in one's heart, he yearns for the omnipotent power.

Great Sage watched him kneel on the ground and said: "A mortal who is not tenacious enough may lose his life in the test. Are you aware of life and death?"

"I..." Pip didn't speak, his yearning for power seemed to have been magnified countless times in Great Sage's words. The desire almost made him tremble. He paused and said loudly, "I want to be there, the prophets No one is more determined than me."

"Stand up."

Cruiseen Great Sage said, when the prophet got up, he looked at him meaningfully for a while, He seemed to be able to see through all the prophet’s thoughts. After a while, he said: "Because of fear, so desire, mortals are the same."

Great Sage suddenly raised his tone: "You are willing to pursue the path of the highest, even if At all costs, the blood bleeds and the flesh becomes ashes, do you have to accept this test?"

"I am willing!"

"Get out!" Great Sage drank.

This sentence was not addressed to him, Pip knew, because Great Sage had finished speaking, the black robe prophets on both sides immediately retreated into the shadows on both sides of the temple, as if they no longer existed.

At the same time, a certain will came.

It is a hard to describe experience. The turbulent force penetrates from the outside to the inside, squeezing the soul to the edge of the body. Next moment, the invisible steel needle seems to strike from all directions. Come, pierce through the skin, stir in the body, from the brain to the internal organs, from the muscles to the skeleton.

"This is what you want-strength." Great Sage said quietly: "At the same time, it is also a test."

Pip endured with the greatest will, hands tearing his chest , There was a muffled sound in his throat similar to drowning, and powerful force poured into his body. The violent blood vessels turned from blue to red, and finally burst open, and Pip couldn't help howling.

The Prophet’s skin began to peel off in lumps, revealing azure black muscles. The Prophet was like a suffocated fish, and his body shrank into a ball until his eyeballs burst and the pale muddy tissue was pasted. Half of the face.

——He can't make a sound anymore.

"Pip failed."

Great Sage stood up with his imperial staff and looked at the unrecognizable body on the ground coldly: "The flesh is not strong enough. , A mortal who was not firm enough, did not complete the test of supremacy, so he died."

"..." A faint sigh came from the temple, like a whisper of a ghost.

Great Sage took two steps forward, put his hand on the pool of flesh and blood, suspended the virtual grip: "But after all, you have proved your piety and won my respect. Pip, you fall On the road to follow Atuso, I will finish this for you."

He retracted his hand, stood in front of the vague flesh and blood, closed his eyes, opened his arms, and the surging Holy Force poured in from all directions body.

For a long time, Great Sage took a deep breath and re-opened his eyes. His skin was as tender as a baby, with warm radiance flowing on it.

……

The sound of the horn floats into the temple from far to near.

Today is the day of the execution of Sea Clan Garon Nefertius. On the central square, the soldiers have put it in a cage, and the wild beast with disgusting face is twisting randomly, covered in blood and chains. Strangled it could not make a sound, hundreds of slaves shouted and pulled it into the air.

Krusen came outside the temple and watched the iron cage slowly rise.

As the horn rose higher and higher, everyone focused on the central square. Some were luxuriously dressed, the nobles of Golden City, and some were ragged, refugees from other tribes.

Golden King is guarded by layers in the army, wearing gray armor, tailored and embroidered with gold thread leather wind hanging from his broad shoulders, and his breastplate is inlaid with a roaring male The lion's eyebrows are surrounded by a crown made of red gold, and the top of the crown is like flames entwined with each other.

In the cage, Garon Nefertius tried to tear the chain around his neck with his claws, but this was in vain. He roared, cursing everything he saw in front of him.

"Forget it."

Pip’s report is vivid, Cruceen Great Sage thought for a long time, and finally said: "Inform Golden King, the temple hopes to let this head The wild beast is alive."

"Now?"

The prophet next to him looked at the scene of the focal point of ten thousands on the central square, everyone was waiting for the moment when the firewood was lit At this time, stopping the Golden King will make the scene very ugly.

"It is more useful to live than to die." Great Sage said.

"But, didn't you say that the monster outside is not Egon, don't we need to succumb to it?"

"Did I say to succumb to it?" Crewe Sn turned his head and said, "I just said to leave this wild beast, not at all that I want to send it away."

"This..." The prophet was puzzled.

"I will personally go to Mien to wipe out the alien race for Velost." Krusen said: "But if I fail, I don't want Golden City to become extinct."
