Chapter 23 Crane View
Earthly officials represent special official positions that travel between the abyss and the surface of the earth. They have inherited all the powers of the old deacons, and have expanded their recruitment accordingly. Compared to deacons, their equipment has actually dropped.
The deacons at that time were all monsters who drank the holy blood from the Holy Grail and escaped from the human realm. Although they looked like ordinary people, ninety-nine percent of the arteries and veins in the body and the blood pumped by the heart were dragons.
The blood, bone and number density are also different from ordinary people.
In the old days, deacons were like the ascetic monks of the Holy See. They were elite warriors who had been trained since childhood. They spent their lives working for the glory of God. The selection of local officials was relatively secretive and more humane than that of deacons.
Starting from the local officials, these guys have the power of monsters, but do not have to experience the life of monsters. They are like a desolate snowfield soaked in sunshine. If the mission is not delayed, the local officials can get married normally, and they can also have their own vacations after approval.
This is a change made by Shang Shang Aoyue based on the situation where the deacons were deceived by divine grace as a gimmick and lived as the blade of power for decades. However, the local officials at that time were not called this name. The name of the local official was
, which only became popular after the Haiyuan Channel was opened.
What they have in common with deacons is that they are as unlucky as crows. Wherever they go, it means something has happened, so they are quite unwelcome.
The three major factions of local officials are composed of three types of local officials operating with the characteristics of wisdom, bravery and insight.
There is a selection and assessment within the local officials every year. The three major factions have different assessment focuses, but the difficulty is similar. The most difficult one is the brave faction. They even use living deep-sea dragon descendants as their opponents in the assessment, and the number is usually three.
Get started.
The sea was filled with thick sea fog visible to the naked eye, and a small wooden sailboat was floating in the sea waves.
The leader of this year's local official assessment, Croyle, who won all three flags, gently pulled up the sail and moved closer to the shore along with the sea breeze. "God, we are almost reaching the shore."
He turned back and said to the young man standing at the stern of the boat.
"Are you here?" Hearing this, the young man turned around and withdrew his gaze from looking at the sea. On his handsome face, his hair was slightly scattered by the sea breeze, and his long sleeves swelled in the sea breeze, like waves.
roll.
He jumped off the boat and waved goodbye to Croyle, "Wait until I take care of the Thunderbirds."
"Yes!" Shang Shang Zhaoyue said easily and freely, and Chloël answered resoundingly, as if what Shang Shang Zhaoyue wanted to deal with was not a crane-watching thunderbird comparable to the devil, but an ordinary one.
Purple bird.
Although the local officials do not have rigid religious requirements like the deacons, human life is not limited. When everyone around them is a believer in Baiye, including the leader of the local officials, if he rashly reveals his heretical beliefs, even if it is open to the public,
There won't be any problems, but ostracism will definitely be inevitable.
Therefore, most of the modern local officials are also loyal believers of the White Night God. They have all read many scriptures describing the power of the White Night God.
The most famous one is killing the Dragon God under the abyss with one sword.
The same demon god, the sea dragon as huge as Lu Yu can only be replaced by a thunderbird with one sword, and at most it can be killed with one more sword. In this regard, Cloyle is more confident than Shangshang Zhaoyue.
Heguan is an island shrouded in mist. Many legends have described Heguan, but in later generations it gradually became a legend because it was too difficult to find.
However, today's Crane View is not that mysterious, because thunderbirds pierce the sky every day with their dazzling light and hunting thunder, indicating the location of the Crane View.
Thunderbird is synonymous with Heguan. It is an elemental life whose power is comparable to that of the devil. It is a divine bird born from the angry thunder.
However, lately, each time the Thunderbird flies across the sky, it has become more erratic than the last time. Its chirping seems to have gradually become more violent, and the Little Coral Palace solemnly stated that this was not an illusion.
If this continues, if Thunderbird falls to death, the sky-wide thunderstorm caused by its death may not reach Narukami Island. However, most of Inazuma's islands will be affected to varying degrees. Kaiji Island is already suffering from the contamination of the Holy Land. Troubled, if something happens to Thunderbird again, there will be problems if the security is not intact.
Therefore, Shangshang Zhaoyue decided to strike first and went to Heguan to find out.
The visibility in the fog was very low, and even the blazing golden eyes could not penetrate it. Shan Zhaoyue stretched out his hand, and the deep purple lightning automatically gathered, as if he was holding a bright lamp. The fog gradually faded under the influence of thunder and lightning, unable to Gathering together on the way Shang Shan Zhaoyue is moving forward.
As he walked, there were suddenly steps paved with slabs of stone on the rugged mountain road, which continued upward.
Voices and firelight gradually began to appear in the mist, and soon someone also spotted Zhaoyue, an incompatible top in a white robe.
"Who are you?"
Several figures jumped out of the mist and surrounded Shangshan Zhaoyue, who had walked to the open space. They were all strong adult men holding stone spears.
Zhao Yue, who was wearing a shirt, didn't know how to chew chestnuts, but when she looked at their linen clothes and then looked at her own robe, she suddenly understood everything.
He was undoubtedly going on a killing spree, so he reluctantly put down his hand and dispersed the thunder and lightning in his hand to show that he had no hostility.
Unexpectedly, this scene was seen by someone who was interested. An old man pointed at the remaining electric light in Zhaoyue's palm and asked tremblingly, "Are you a member of Lord Thunderbird? How can you have the power to control the divine thunder?" "
He seemed to be quite prestigious, and just like waking up a person in a dream with his words, several men surrounding him put down their spears and turned to look at him with splendor.
"Is he an envoy of God? No wonder he is wearing clothes I have never seen before."
"It's almost time for the sacrifice, and Lord Thunderbird is here to urge it?"
"What a pity, that kid this year..."
When everyone thought about the child being used as a sacrifice, they suddenly showed unbearable expressions and their faces turned dark. Finally, the prestigious old man stood up.
"Um..." He cupped his hands and said, "Master God Envoy, please give us some more time."
"He still has unfinished regrets," he begged with a face that made Shangshang Zhaoyue confused. He seemed to be forced to become a magic stick again because of his unique clothes and the use of elements that Heguan people had never seen before. ability.
"Wait a minute, what do you mean by giving some time?" Shang Shang Zhaoyue simply took advantage of the situation. He thought that he was the messenger of the Thunderbird, but it was able to operate better, so that these natives did not dare to resist his decision.
"Give us some preparations for the sacrifice. We will offer Lord Thunderbird his beloved child as a sacrifice every year."
In a few words, Shangshan Zhaoyue probably understood that these guys thought the thunderbirds were waiting impatiently and couldn't wait for a living sacrifice.
