Chapter 20 Part 1(2/2)
"Okay, I'll send you down first. But you only have one minute." I frowned impatiently when I heard her say that, but before I could speak, Hex changed his words and said, "Three
Minutes... we can’t keep the master waiting for too long.”
Hmm...I suddenly discovered that this Hex goddess didn't seem to be as unreasonable as I thought. Maybe it was because of nervousness as Desmo said? Maybe, but I only believe it at most.
"Just a minute then. Actually it won't take that long. I just went over to say hello to her."
Hex nodded silently and then stood in front of me and raised his arms. Then a very fair hexagonal halo appeared under our feet and enveloped us. Then my eyes flashed and I almost fainted.
"Erica?! Erica!!"
I panicked and shouted Erica's name loudly at the place where she disappeared. I also knew that my emotions were a little out of control, but I just couldn't suppress the panic in my heart.
Everything just now was so terrifying. Erica was suddenly attacked by flesh and blood puppets who came out of nowhere, and then there was a weird big explosion. What was even weirder was that she was unscathed in that big explosion, and just now
Right in front of me, in front of everyone, with a burst of glare, she disappeared from the place for no reason. I used all the detection magic but still couldn't feel her presence, she was like
It has never happened before, and there is no trace of it.
"Please don't worry, Ms. Argyle. I have already sent someone to notify Miss Chris. I believe she will send troops to search for your companions around."
Miss Russell next to me came over to comfort me, but I didn't reply or even look back at her. I just nodded symbolically and let her leave.
Because Russell and the others thought that Erica might have been teleported elsewhere by a monster using some kind of magic. But I know that Erica's disappearance is definitely not a simple matter, but I can't explain what happened.
Similarly, I won't think like Russell that Erica was simply teleported away by the flesh puppet, because unlike them, I have a very detailed understanding of the flesh puppet.
It was a distortion created by some crazy believers of the alien god, a mistake that should never have been born. It is a derivative species of Hertogoth, which was originally eaten by mortals who died.
Things that were twisted and mutated after flesh and blood were called "flesh puppets" by the chosen ones at the time because they were essentially more similar to the creation of puppet magic.
But let’s put aside its origins and just talk about the convenience of its abilities. None of the relevant records in the Chosen Library have mentioned that such low-powered monsters have the ability to transmit magic. Of course, I don’t dare to be so complete about it.
The conclusion denies this view. After all, it has been nearly a hundred years since the flesh puppet last appeared. Who knows whether those madmen will have improved the monster's abilities.
When Russell walked away, I looked around. All the soldiers were busy cleaning up the scene and rescuing the wounded, and I just heard their preliminary investigation results from Russell. Just now Erica was fighting
The monster had a conflict with the knights before. Because she accidentally injured the knight leader Marco, she was surrounded and killed by other knights. When she escaped smoothly, the group of people were killed because they were unable to defeat the flesh and blood puppet.
The rats scurried away, and finally Erica came back to help them defeat the flesh puppet.
What a ridiculous incident. These stupid pigs actually drew their swords against the people fighting side by side. I am sure that although Miss Russell did not maliciously shield her colleagues, she did not give a completely neutral answer, because those who had previously
The knights who attacked Erica have all been sent away, and the look they looked at me when they left, including the wounded, is enough to prove my idea.
Those angry eyes full of disdain instantly made me understand that these arrogant idiots didn't think they had done anything wrong at all, but instead transferred their malice to me after being reprimanded by Russell.
on the body.
Ridiculous, this is such a ridiculous thing. I shouldn't have brought Erica here at all, nor should I have gotten her involved in this matter. Maybe I shouldn't have contacted Polly in the first place...or maybe I shouldn't have contacted her in the first place...
You should have let go when you met Liz. If you had done that then, all the messy things that happened later would not have happened.
But now it seems that everything is too late.
I knelt down weakly and burst into tears at the place where she disappeared. My mind went blank and my thoughts were completely confused. But I was not completely desperate yet. I still had the last resort. I ignored the people around me who were busy rescuing and cleaning up the scene, and I was at a loss.
He looked up at the sky and sent out a desperate prayer to Severna.
This was originally an ability given to the Chosen Ones by Severna to communicate with God. However, as the responsibilities of the Chosen Ones in the past generations became more and more mundane, this kind of active prayer became something that could only be used once in a lifetime.
Ability, the records in the library describe the divine prayers of the chosen ones of the previous generation. They only prayed to Severna before they died. In addition, they faced some powerful enemies.
It’s time to ask for blessings and gifts from Severna.
"I don't ask for any blessings, nor do I ask for any gifts. I only hope that as the supreme god, Severna, you can tell me where Erica is."
Along with my prayer, a burst of light flew into the sky, but unexpectedly, I heard the goddess's whisper not long after. That extremely warm voice nourished my hope like the rain after a long drought, but
It also brought me some questions.
"She's right next to you."
This is the goddess's answer, and I don't understand the reason at all.
And just when I was about to get up and check my surroundings, I suddenly felt an extremely depressing breath appearing behind me. There was a violent suffocation feeling that enveloped my heart. I was almost pressed by this invisible pressure.
On the ground. My situation was pretty good, but the few soldiers in front of me were directly pressed to the ground by this pressure and remained motionless. They didn't even make a sound, they could only be afraid.
He looked at me with wide eyes...or rather, behind me.
Something has appeared, no! It's coming! This feeling seems familiar, because this happened to me when I became the Chosen One. A god has come! And this invisible pressure is the breath of God.
It is the pressure of God. The fear of this kind of breath among mortals is the oldest memory engraved in the depths of the soul, so the soldiers around me cannot stand still like me.
I looked back suddenly and saw Erica and a woman with black hair and black clothes appearing there. The pressure also disappeared the moment I turned around. I am afraid that this goddess took the initiative after landing.
I have controlled the spread of this aura, and the most important thing is that I recognize this goddess.
The iconic long black hair and jet-black robe are exactly the same as a goddess in a portrait in the library. It was a portrait painted by a certain first-generation God-chosen person thousands of years ago, and according to what he left behind
From the information, it can be known that the goddess in the portrait was an extraterrestrial wanderer who had just come to this world to take refuge. It is said that her world was destroyed by something indescribable, and she wandered in the extraterrestrial void for several times.
She came here after an epoch, and was later taken in by Severna to become her follower, and her name is...
