Lord of the Mysteries: Yao Guang

The "Six-member Council" is located in the charred round tower.

The chief of Silver City, Colin Iliad, is standing on the top platform of the round tower. Even he is still frightened by the previous thunderstorm, but his spirituality is no longer enough to allow him to continue to maintain the current form of the mythical creature.

The tall and mighty Cyclops slowly shrank in size, bent down due to weakness, and supported himself half-kneeling on the ground with his knees.

Colin's charred flesh and blood due to receiving lightning were not obvious in the giant state. As soon as he returned to his original appearance, the injuries he suffered were immediately revealed. The edges of those wounds remained in an everted state, and there were white thunder snakes inside from time to time. Jump out and dissipate in the air.

If the warrior's own defense was not strong enough, coupled with the "Crown of Glory" that shimmers with divine light above his head, the person in charge of Silver City would not be able to stably withstand the power of the "thunderstorm" and divert it. .

Colin was forced to throw away the hot golden spear in his hand and throw it into the water tank used to store this extraordinary weapon. In an instant, bursts of steam came out of the water tank, and a small "crackling sound" One after another came from inside.

Hearing that the thunderstorm at the top of the tower had stopped, and paying close attention to the chief's life condition, the other two members of the council who had been waiting in the tower immediately got out from under the trap door and rushed to Colin Iliad quickly. Be there to heal his wounds.

Elder Lovia used "flesh magic" to guide out the extraordinary powers that did not belong to Colin's body, and forced Colin's wounds to heal faster. This move caused a burst of pain, but Colin's firm demeanor showed no sign of it at all. shake.

Ben Bell, the elder of the "cultivator" path, opened Chief Colin's mouth without any explanation and poured three bottles of healing potion in succession. Then he let a faint green light rise from his palm and slowly guided Colin's Vitality restored.

"I can guide that thunderstorm up to two times, so everyone can go there as soon as possible, ahem... take shelter as soon as possible."

"Once," Elder Ben Bell, a blond lady with a calm face that showed no sign of her age, only with crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, frowned, "If you still want to live, you can only do it once at most."

Elder Lovia raised her head and looked at the sky worriedly: "That is not a force we can fight against."

Colin also looked at the rolling and suppressing lightning. His eyes were extremely firm: "It is always good to delay for a little time. The inheritance of Silver City must not be cut off in our hands."

"But..." Seeing Colin's expression, Ben Bell knew that his persuasion would not be effective, so he had to swallow the rest of his words and help the stubborn chief to stand up again.

"That's almost it. You go down first. The residents of Silver City also need you."

"Waite has gone down to calm them down."

"Also, if something happens to me, let Waite be the next chief according to the plan we have made over the years. After all, apart from me, he is the only one who can use the 'Proof of Glory' now."

Thunder rang in the sky again, and Colin patted Ben Bell on the shoulder: "Go, you two go down too, and don't worry about me anymore."

Ben Bell quickly stuffed two more bottles of potion into Colin's hand: "We are waiting for your news."

It wasn't until the trap door behind him closed that Colin let out a long sigh of relief. He straightened the crown on his head that glowed like the morning sun, and fished out the special object made of pure gold from the water tank.

Colin Iliad, he raised his spear to the sky again:

"O omniscient and almighty Lord..."

I pray to you to protect your followers.

The next moment, Colin saw soft balls of light rising slowly from the ground below and from inside Silver City. They gave people a different feeling from the thunder in the sky. Even Colin felt an inexplicable sense of peace in his heart. . It was a stable light source in the town, and it was the lantern mushroom that Silver City had become accustomed to and regarded as shelter. The "Six-person Council" had long known that those mushrooms contained some kind of "living" spiritual body, but after their divination and testing, Various results showed that it was completely harmless, and then it was agreed to introduce it as a new crop in Silver City.

Now, those spores spontaneously detached from under the umbrella cover, as if attracted by the thunder in the sky. The sight of them rising slowly could be seen very clearly from the top of the tallest round tower in Silver City.

Colin looked at this scene in disbelief. He thought of the scenes recorded in those ancient books. When the sun retreats from the rotating sky, shimmering fragments will appear on the clear night.

It's just that those "stars" are rising from the ground, rushing towards the violent thunder in the sky.

Then Colin saw the flow of black clouds. They were slowly collapsing downwards, quickly forming a funnel-shaped vortex, which was continuously descending in the direction of him - after all, this round tower was the tallest building in Silver City.

Colin held the pure gold spear in his hand tightly. He had always been prepared, and he only hoped that he could successfully withstand more thunderstorms that were about to pour down.

It would be best if the lightning came directly towards him.

However, things did not develop according to the idea of ​​the chief of Silver City. The light rising from the ground did not penetrate into the thunderclouds in the sky, but hovered above Silver City. Soon, a buzzing sound resounded throughout the city. , illusory lines connect from the light points. As the light becomes more and more dense, it finally converges into a thin light curtain.

This light curtain took shape in front of Colin's eyes. It was like a tent set up, and the center point at the top was the round tower that had just been struck by lightning at Colin's feet. The edges of the light curtain were set up around the round tower. , is slowly closing on his head.

The dark clouds suddenly made a more ferocious vibration, and Colin saw a faint light at the bottom of the whirlpool as it sank toward the round tower.

What was even more strange was that he heard singing. Among the thunder and buzzing, only the singing was steady and clear. Someone was humming a nursery rhyme-like tune in a language he could not identify.

Then, Colin Iliad saw a soft light break away from the center, and a group of disembodied illusory birds flew down from there. They grabbed the edge of the light curtain, preventing it from completely surrounding the people below. Silver City.

Of course he remembers that fairy tale. Although there is no exact explanation in the Lord's holy scriptures, every child who grew up in Silver City has heard the story about "Skylark", which has been passed down from generation to generation in those ancient scriptures. .

The despair in Colin's heart suddenly became hot and was soon burned to ashes.

Is this the Lord’s response to us?

The many skylarks emitting light pulled the light curtain and flew upward again.

Suddenly a crack opened in the dense clouds, and all the skylarks crashed straight into the figure in the middle.

Colin could see clearly this time. The edges of the light curtain held by Skylark all fell into her two palms spread out on the left and right, converging into a silver stream of light.

It was a young-looking lady. She was raising her head and staring closely at the thunderclouds rushing towards her, not paying attention to Colin's appraising eyes.

The crow on the lady's shoulder seemed to be aware of his gaze. It cast an indifferent glance downwards and then disappeared directly from Colin's sight.

A chill shrouded in hostility arose spontaneously, and Colin's face showed no expression, but he moved the point of the golden spear.
