Chapter 77 Island City Talk(1/2)
"You can feel it, Ahabbate."
Xia Xiu softly called to Hope who was eating mousse cake at the side. The little figure slowly put down the dessert in her hand, raised her head and stared out the window. The corners of her mouth were still stained with sweet cake residue.
The blond young man next to her picked up a white napkin as usual and wiped the food from the corner of her mouth naturally.
At this time, Hope cast her eyes on the two beasts fighting outside, and her expression became deep.
She slowly raised her right hand, with a mysterious mark carved on the back of her hand - "Missing", which was the symbol of Anut from the Seven Crimson Seals.
The voice of hope told the story behind this mark with a bit of sadness and compassion:
"Strong-willed and weak in body, these children mastered the wisdom of magic and wreaked great havoc. But because of their strength, the king crippled them lest they rise up against him - this was the 'lack', for its thirst
The longing for her children never ceases."
"Sure enough, as I thought, the soul is missing, and the holder of the Seven Seals can feel this lack, so what about the other marks besides the lack?" Xia Xiu couldn't help but fall into deep thought, his expression also changed.
It's rare to become a little gloomy.
Hope's dictation confirmed his conjecture, and his golden eyes couldn't help but look at the beasts outside. These beasts that could pass the review at the border between [Financial Street] and the Kingdom of Heaven were all castrated existences.
The red king's duet performance has indeed profoundly affected the entire pattern of Terra, pushing everyone on a road of running wild.
The dragon disaster laid the foundation for the conflict between the Governor's Palace of France and the central government. The crimson fourth heir opened his eyes from the Eiffel Tower in Huadu. The ancient dragons of the sleeping countries in France and those sleeping in the dragon blood cabin
The dragon-slaying governors were awakened one by one, and the ancient undead from the past of the Second French Empire began to focus on the construction of a new empire.
The impaler's river of death soaked the foggy city for seventy years but there was no city. The blood heirs of the twelve monarchs died in the struggle between the river of death and the fourth sword-holder in heaven. Facing the impact of Muggles, the monarchs
Start tracing back to the source of all spirits and thoughts, the leader and promoter of the soul.
The purple-robed emperor controlled the five tyrants and Constantinople to bloodbath the Senate. The ambitious emperor launched a westward expansion and a war broke out between the Central Kingdoms and Oaxaca. The Knights of Heaven were trapped in the quagmire of war. The empire's
The emperor and the princes of the empire embarked on an absolute military path.
Icaros fell one after another under the dark and scorching sun of Daeva. Their resistance will not make the Hanged King who lives in [Alakada] look down on him. Their resistance will only attract the attention of the Mechanical City and the City of Night.
The Truss retaliated even more viciously.
In the Messianic Psalms, a battle began in heaven. Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon also fought with his angels, but they did not win. They were no longer found in heaven. The great dragon was the ancient dragon.
The serpent, whose name is the Devil and Satan, deceives the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him.
These five performances stirred up the whole of Terra, and the Kingdom of Heaven had to adjust its strategy because of these five performances.
Among all the gods, only the Crimson King is most likely to "knock down the Kingdom of Heaven". He is the opposite of the Kingdom of Heaven, he is the source of all reaction, and he is most likely to be the... future of the Kingdom of Heaven.
Like the Kingdom of Heaven, He also loves the number seven.
Seven is the sacred number of Heaven and the Crimson King.
Seven Seals, Seven Rings, Seven Brides to the Crimson King.
This is the oldest prophecy of the Crimson Advent.
What Xia Xiu has always had to worry about is another performance of "Alice Game" that was terminated by him. Although he and Hope were the final winners of this game, [Lilith] still exists in Hope's body.
The identity of the apostle only allows the [humanity] of hope to be retained, and the essence of hope is still one of the seven seals of the Red King.
Moreover, Xia Xiu has always noticed one thing. The Red King's duet performance has only been performed for six times, not even his favorite seven.
The incarnations of the seven seals and the seven brides in the prophecy have been following him, but what about the seven ring?
Also, what kind of information did the Crimson King get from 0-13? That is Yahweh who would keep silent even if it was not for the decision-making meeting of the Kingdom of Heaven.
The other five interpretations all have their own deviation values, and Alice naturally has it too. Even though Ahbat, who possesses the seven seals, has become the apostle of the stag, she is still fundamentally the Crimson Alice created by the Red King, Kingdom of Shells.
The ruler of Lilith, the seven seals have always been imprinted on her body, and the seven seals have never been completely unveiled.
Even when the divine soldiers descended from the sky to summon the stag in the foggy city, [Lilith] never opened the seven seals and released the crimson glory.
Therefore, Xia Xiu always felt that the Red King was planning a big chess game, and he was adjusting his plan in a planned way. At least the situation where Terra was completely out of control now was completely different from when he was "a player in the previous life".
From the memory of the awakening of the true spirit in [Spiral Road], he saw that his appearance in the previous life was consistent with his appearance in this life.
As well as the clues obtained from the unknown conversation with Mu Yuyan later, he could basically surmise that his so-called "last life" was related to the Supreme Program and Ion, and that the situation rapidly collapsed after Terra [Crisis 72 Hours Incident]
It can be inferred that the Red King and other holders of the supreme divinity should also have discovered a certain sense of disharmony, so they quickly counterattacked, resulting in the current situation in Terra being completely out of control...
Under the warm winter sun, the blond young man's expression looked particularly complicated, like a philosopher about to start deep thoughts.
Hope noticed Xia Xiu's changes, and she gently removed the "missing" mark that was still shining faintly in her hand.
She is actually very clear about her position in Xia Xiu's life. Although her relationship with him is not a partner in the conventional sense, there is a profound connection that transcends formality.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Hope is Xia Xiu's "pendant", a relationship that exists due to common interests and deep friendship, not a partner in the traditional sense, but a more natural one
exist.
In this relationship, I hope to understand the essence of Xia Xiu - a walker who will never stop for anyone or anything.
Because of this, hope can always be by his side, and its value and existence are as unique and important as her name and code name.
As a being that is essentially beyond ordinary humans, the purity and simplicity contained in her humanity are far beyond ordinary people. This almost instinctive innocence is also one of the important reasons why Xia Xiu chose to keep her company.
At this moment, a hint of concern flashed through Hope's delicate purple eyes. She floated lightly to Xia Xiu's shoulder, turned sideways to that beautiful face, and stared at him seriously as always.
“Need to complete them?”
While speaking, a new mark slowly appeared on her right hand - the "hope" that represented her essence.
The mark exudes a warm light, appearing both mysterious and powerful.
Xia Xiu pondered for a moment, and finally shook his head. His voice was low and calm: "Yes, but it's not necessary. Their souls have been partially mortgaged to [Financial Street]. Although this mortgage has its economic significance, it will also
Causes damage to the intelligence of living things. Most mortgagers become stupid, and only a few can stay awake."
He paused, and a strange light flashed in his eyes, "Furthermore, according to this characteristic, the beasts of the same race are divided into three qualities: gold, silver and bronze. This is based on the degree of their intellectual damage.
Divide.”
"Of course, these mortgaged parts can theoretically be replenished through hard work. However, all recovery costs will ultimately need to be borne by the breeders. I am not the master of these beasts, and I don't want to take advantage of you.
I can’t help but be taken advantage of by [Financial Street].”
After a brief chat with Hope, Xia Xiu quickly ended his lunch, and then waved to the waiter to come and pay the bill.
While paying the bill, he generously gave a 25% tip, which obviously made the waitress' expression become more enthusiastic and friendly.
Xia Xiu took advantage of this relaxed atmosphere and started chatting with the waiter, and the topic quickly turned to the purpose of his trip.
"Where can I buy the Mayflower Foundation's capsule beast series around here?" the blond young man asked, with easy-going and sincere curiosity in his voice.
After hearing this, the waiter's eyes flashed with obvious excitement, "Oh, you can go to the 'Adventurer Supply Store' in town. It's on the street behind the old clock tower. It's easy to find. It has the most complete series of capsule beasts.
.”
She paused and continued with interest, "Are you going to participate in the Capsule Beast Competition in Island City? The top three in this competition will receive the corresponding Silver Capsule Beast according to their ranking. The first place will most likely win the Gold Capsule Beast.
.However, the contestants are all masters who have been trained in the Golden King's Court plane for a long time. I heard that the most powerful one has two and a half years of experience in practicing in the time difference plane. If you join temporarily now..."
The waiter's words contained a hint of worry and persuasion. Apparently she thought that Xia Xiu was not adequately prepared to participate in such a high-level competition and might struggle.
After hearing this, Xia Xiu just smiled slightly and answered calmly:
"Actually, I am also a capsule beast enthusiast. The important thing about competitions is participation. Sometimes, experience and fun are more important than winning the competition."
After listening to Xia Xiu's words, the waiter nodded understandingly and praised Xia Xiu:
"You have the most open-minded and easy-going attitude among all the adventurers I have ever met."
After hearing this, Xia Xiu just smiled politely and seemed disapproving. Instead, he continued to ask more curiously:
"Besides the new Capsule Beast Competition, are there any other interesting activities in Island City?"
When the waiter heard this question, she immediately became energetic and her eyes lit up instantly. It was obvious that this touched her passion.
She began to introduce to Xia Xiu enthusiastically:
"Oh, in addition to the Capsule Beast Competition, Island City also has some very interesting local activities. For example, the annual 'Ice Sculpture Competition' attracts many artists and tourists to watch and participate. The artists carve ice cubes into various shapes.
A magnificent shape. Our 'Sled Dog Sled Race' here is also very popular. The participating sled dogs are all well-trained. The fierce chasing and teamwork in the competition always make people excited. Moreover, this
The competition also reflects our island city’s heritage and respect for traditional activities.”
After saying this, she quickly noticed the blue fishing rod bag behind Xia Xiu, so she continued:
“In addition to these, there are various fishing competitions related to Lake Milleple. The first is the ice fishing competition, which is the highlight of our winter.
Every winter, the ice on Mille Lacs becomes very thick, and at this time we hold an ice fishing competition. Thousands of fishing enthusiasts and families come here to drill holes in the ice to fish, and see who can win.
The biggest fish you can catch.
Next up is the Opening Season Fishing Celebration, which is usually held in late spring or early summer each year and marks the beginning of the fishing season. On that day, the entire community gathers around Mille Lacs, not just to fish, but to
There is music, food and all kinds of entertainment.”
Listening to the waiter's detailed introduction to the fishing activities in Dao City, Xia Xiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"This is indeed a paradise for fishermen. I hope that during my next trip to the island city, I can catch the 'big fish' I want to catch."
Thinking of this, he subconsciously tightened the fishing rod bag on his back. The "Lever of Heaven" hidden inside had been cleverly transformed into an ordinary fishing rod, waiting for its next appearance.
Speaking of which, the "Lever of the Sky" as the [Miracle Wedge] has always had a strange style of painting since it followed Xia Xiu. Most of the time it is used as a walking stick, a snooker cue, a fishing rod...
