Pillars of Ita

Chapter 943, Act 270, The Beginning of the Change of That Era
Miya turned off the communication terminal, and the silver light in her eyes became silent.The sound of Ye Xiao's trombone was being heard in the forest, and she couldn't help but look in that direction, seeing that the forest was lit up with bits and pieces of light.Only then did the girl stand up, and gently brushed her long hair, which was blown by the night wind and fluttered.

Many people came out of the forest, watching all this from far and near.

Miya's silver eyes were becoming firm, she stretched out her hand, and pulled out a dagger shining with colorful light from the distorted space.The dagger was suspended and still, crystal clear, and a blue light as clear as the sky was revealed from it.

The silver imprint flashed away on the back of the girl's hand.

From more than 600 days ago to the present.

She remembered the forest mist and starlight under the moon during the July War, under the shadow of the Dragon Wing Mountains, the star dew in the forest was shining like flowers, and the fairies were whispering, telling the beginning of that story.A boy, a girl like a wolf.

That dagger became a witness connecting the two.

But walking here a long, long time ago, everything faded away, even hatred and memory were reduced to ashes, and only the end of this moment remained.

"Miss Miya!"

"Miss Miya, let's do it!"

people said.

Miya looked at them and nodded.

Her eyes sank, as if sinking into the sea of ​​stars. At the end of all things, at the end of time, she saw the galaxy flowing backwards, the sun and the moon overturned, and the moment the continent fell into the sea of ​​clouds, the stars disappeared and everything ceased to exist.The wolf-like girl stretched out her hand and grabbed the dagger.

A round of silver blossoms bloomed from where her palms met the dagger, like ripples in the space, surging away in all directions.As the strong wind blew, a head of silver hair fluttered in all directions, and then fell gently, the light in the girl's eyes faded.

She held a dagger and walked forward.Everyone stepped aside one after another, and the forest seemed to part ways in front of her. Behind the cliff, there was a sea of ​​clouds.The magnificent scenery of the second world is reflected in everyone's sight.

The twilight is fading the last ray of light, and the red clouds seem to ignite the entire sea of ​​clouds, and the lonely rocks on it are arranged one after another, stretching for tens of thousands of miles.Among them, the largest floating islands together form a towering mountain.

Covenant Mountain.

After 32 hours and [-] minutes, she returned to this place.

The girl was holding a dagger, and behind her, streaks of blue light were slowly rising from the forest.Those huge constructs are being lifted into the air, and the wind element propulsion device behind the machine drags a long green light, climbs up to the sky, and then turns to fly above the sea of ​​clouds.

"The first attack wave is launched."

"Miss Miya, wait for our good news!"

Beam after beam of cyan light rose straight into the sky.

The light reflected in the girl's eyes, 130 seven.

Then there was a long screaming sound in the forest, and a giant dragon rose up from the ground, and its huge body covered the entire forest in an instant.

People look up.

Immediately after the former, another giant dragon roared into the air.

The two giant dragons, one in front and the other in the back, surpassed the long green splendors dragging above the sky in an instant.

Dragon Rider——

……

There was a slight vibration from above the hall.

Lie Yang raised his head, watching the fine dust falling from the vault, like twinkling stardust in the darkness.He subconsciously stretched out his hand to take it, squeezed it with his thumb and forefinger, discerned the fine grains of sand, and couldn't help being slightly taken aback.

A group of knights in black broke into the hall with swords, and reported to him anxiously: "Vice President, we are under attack!"

A second shock swept through the hall, this time much more violent than the previous one.

There was a low roar in the hall, the ground shook violently, the cracks on the surrounding stone pillars spread downward, and the sand and stone fell rustlingly.

But in the violent shaking, Lie Yang didn't seem to feel the impact at all. He glanced at the knights, stood up, and stretched out his hand, the long sword on the crystal base rose automatically and flew into his hand.

"Notify the Hall of Valor."

"Prepare to defend."

"You come with me."

The roar of an explosion drowned out his words.

The third shock shook the entire hall violently.

There was a crackling sound on the wall, and a stone pillar collapsed directly.But Lie Yang walked through the hall as if nothing happened, and walked forward with firm steps. The broken stone pillar fell behind everyone, and fell to the ground with a bang, raising dust.

The black knights didn't even look at it, they just followed.

Passing through the outer corridor, the outside is already in chaos, but the elite brigade stationed here by Ragnarok is not in chaos at all. The chosen ones in black and gray battle robes are gathering from everywhere, going against the flow of people.

The team leader kept calling out to the members of his team, counted the number of people one by one, and then led them towards the airport.Lines of blue-gray light are rising from the covenant mountain, facing more than 100 blue light beams flying above the sea of ​​clouds.

Lie Yang raised his head and looked in that direction.

As he walked forward, the sea of ​​clouds outside the corridor was parting. A silver giant dragon rose from under the clouds and spread its wings, as if it was holding floating clouds on its wings. It turned slightly and leaned towards this direction .

Just the size of the dragon's head already exceeded the length between the two pillars of the cloister. It was turning around and staring at its knight with warm blue eyes.Lie Yang pointed with his hand, and the giant dragon immediately let out a long howl, spread its wings sideways, and flew over the sea of ​​clouds.

The sky darkened.

Then the dazzling glare reflected the Covenant Mountain in white, and the light of the explosion spread out like stars, lighting up the sky.

Lie Yang brought a group of knights to the main hall, standing on the [-]-level steps, watching the structures fall from mid-air, some of them fell to the ground with a bang, dragging flames and The wreckage was reduced to ashes in the bright blast of flames.

But behind the defeated brigade, more than a dozen azure constructs are slowly descending, and the Chosen ones standing on them are almost wearing the same color of battle robes, looking down at them.

These people all have a symbol of the cross and the tail of the phoenix on their chests.Freedom is like fire, it never goes out, it turns to ashes and is born from the ashes.

Like a phoenix reborn.

But Lie Yang only looked at one of them.

"Miya," he said, "Aren't you from BBK? Even though you have separated from Flor's descendant, you are still the witch of the sea. When will the free callers choose to accept you?"

But Miya didn't answer, just pulled out the star dagger.

When Lie Yang saw the dagger, his eyes sank slightly, "Green Star, Crown of Hailin, Miya, what do you want to do?"

"I've come to seek justice."

"...You destroyed the Covenant Mountain, and it will not do you any good."

"Before the defeat of the Turbid Realm, how did you ever consider this?"

Miya pointed the dagger at him.

The cyan starlight is rising from her eyes, as if reflecting the bright sea of ​​light, when the starlight rises, the sea of ​​light is born, and when the starlight falls, the sea of ​​light dies.At the beginning of all things, at the end of all things, light and shadow are intertwined, that's what this world says.

Gray light is spreading from the tip of the dagger, like a reflection in a mirror, but what is reflected is a dead world, the sky is only gray and dark, time is stagnant, stars and elements are no longer flowing, pale and withered, the world is withered Death.

But what presented itself to Lie Yang was another world.

The interior of the Covenant Mountain is emitting a violent roar, like an earthquake, one wave after another.The gray domain did not come from the dagger in Miya's hand, but spread out from the center of the giant mountain, like rising mercury.

In an instant, it overflowed the ground.

Buildings that overflow the surface.

overshadows everything.

Only a gray world remains.

"Dead zone..." The knights in black finally wavered.This is how they captured the fortress in the past, but after more than 600 suns rose and set, a witch returned here again, and this time, she brought another key.

Lie Yang still didn't change his face, and looked at the other party quietly, "Miya, don't do stupid things."

"I know," Miya held the dagger in her hand, as if there was an azure vortex spinning quietly in the depths of her eyes.She spoke with a clear, calm voice, as if inhuman, "Even if I destroy the Covenant Mountain and cause Ragnarok to suffer heavy losses here, you won't even blink an eye."

"But unfortunately, you gave me a chance, Lie Yang."

The wolf girl's eyes were clear and her voice was as calm as water. "You planned everything, but you didn't take into account the final ownership of Hailin's crown. Everything seems to be predetermined in the dark, but the person who planned it was finally lost in the conspiracy."

"It all started from the Covenant Mountain, and it will end here," she raised her dagger, "Lie Yang, do you think I'm here to destroy the 'Gate'?"

But not.

She shook her head slightly.

Only one thing was really destroyed.

Lie Yang finally changed his face, how did she know all this? "Wait, Miya—"

But the bright light has gradually risen from the wolf girl's hand, like a star, the moment when the scorching sun rises and the first supernova is born.

"You will destroy the whole of Atalia!"

Lie Yang roared wildly, and a huge silver dragon fell from the clouds, following the point of the long sword in his hand, and rushed towards Miya.

But the construction dragon has not had time to approach in the future.

A layer of cyan light barrier has risen from Miya's side. A hundred feet away, the giant dragon was pushed away. The dragon let out a howl, flapped its wings and hit the light barrier again, but it also It just made a layer of mysterious runes float on its surface.

The first layer is the elements, which represent the building blocks of the physical world.

Then the second layer is the ether, which represents the boundary of the elemental world.

The last layer is Xinghui, which represents the beginning and end of many worlds.

There are three layers of barriers one by one.

And the sea of ​​light has submerged everything.

Lie Yang held the long sword tightly in his hand, his veins almost popped out.But he knew that everything was irreversible, so he took a last look at Miya in the light, stepped back, leaped high and landed on the silver dragon, and the dragon spread its wings.

Soaring into the sky.

In the light, Miya smiled for the first time.

The light vibrated violently, and the violent screaming sound had overwhelmed all other sounds, but the whole world became quiet instead.

She looked up at Lie Yang, opened her mouth, paused every word, and told the other party the secret with the shape of her mouth.

"I destroyed it."

"only--"

"The old order."

……

'The situation in the Turbid Realm is tense—'

'The mystery of the Covenant Mountain has changed again! '

'The Corin-Ishurians suffered heavy losses on Mount Covenant. '

'The third Mount Covenant incident? '

Duke Hawke put down the newspaper in his hand a little upset.

He didn't care about what would happen to the Colin-Ishurian people, and even the situation in the second world was a little bit concerned. Or dark irony.

Nor did he care.

Although the victory and defeat have been decided, the grasshoppers immediately showed their true colors. The rumors about the Hawke family outside, and the evaluation that his imperial owl was different from the usual ones immediately increased.

But he spent half his life integrating the seven mage families so that everyone's interests could be aligned. During this time, he experienced many ups and downs and setbacks. How could he disturb his thoughts because of such a trivial matter.He looked at the sea of ​​clouds floating outside the hall, and there was only one thing on his mind.

That was Ash Lynn's manuscript.

The guy who can't help the table.

Duke Hawke's face was gloomy. He had already seen that the chosen ones were unreliable, so he made other preparations.But he didn't expect those people to be so unreliable. Before he even used the means he prepared, those guys had already been killed by Friston's people.

"The blueprints for the Stars Device are still in the empire."

"Still in the empire?"

Duke Hawke turned his head and looked at the mage sitting in front of him.

The middle-aged man nodded.

"Can you be sure where it is?"

"No, we can only confirm that it used to be in the Stag Principality, and was recently transferred to the Empire. Up to now, the blueprint still hasn't left the Empire."

Duke Hawke pursed his lips.

"My lord," the middle-aged wizard continued, "Actually, we don't necessarily need Ash Lynn's manuscripts. The new batch of Nightmare Furnace constructions can almost meet the requirements. Instead of placing our hopes on that illusory Design drawings, it is better to focus on reality..."

"The Black Army of the Empire is expanding very quickly..." He paused, "That fellow Friston somehow convinced His Majesty...Compared to the Craftsman Association, the Seven Mage Family is even more untrustworthy by His Majesty. It's just a small thing, but the more important thing is..."

"I understand," Duke Hawke nodded, "The dispute over the route of technology is only superficial. For half a century, what we have been fighting with craftsmen is actually the future direction of the empire. I don't trust His Majesty either, that young man People are too paranoid—"

such a topic.

The mage didn't dare to speak up for a moment.

Duke Hawke was silent for a moment, his gray-green eyes revealing reminiscence, then shook his head, "I really miss that era, together with the late king, we revived this ancient country, if people can live forever, Your Majesty may see that day come..."

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

"But no one can be eternal. Immortality is just the pursuit of those short-sighted fools. I'm talking nonsense again. Friston is a good opponent, but it's a pity that I am destined to have different ideas from him. You are right, Nightmare Furnace We can't let go of the pretentious plan."

"However, the matter of Ash Lynn's manuscript must continue."

"As for the Black Army..." Duke Hawke's gaze sank, revealing a cold expression.The things he was looking for may have long gone, but he is not really a naive person, and when he has reached that point, he will naturally make up his mind.

He looked at the wizard.

The middle-aged mage obviously understood what he meant and nodded to Xiang.

Duke Hawke was about to order something, but suddenly, he closed his mouth and looked towards the entrance of the hall with a vigilant expression.

Just as his eyes touched that direction, the two huge doors there were suddenly knocked open with a bang, and two imperial knights in black helmets and black armor were rushing in from there.

One of them was carrying a ship's guard in his hand.

He was pulling the blood-stained sword out of the guard's bloody throat.

"Who are you?" The middle-aged mage was taken aback, and subconsciously asked, "How did you get on the boat?"

But Duke Hawke reacted much faster than him. The moment the two black knights broke in, he stretched out his hand, and a magic wand appeared in his hand.

The black knight had just turned around, looking in this direction with cold eyes, Duke Hawke had already raised his magic wand and pointed at him.

A huge force struck out of nowhere, directly pushing the knight out, hitting the door, and his body was folded in two strangely.

The other knight was indifferent, and rushed towards this direction without saying a word.

However, Duke Hawke hadn't issued an order yet, and the doors behind him had already popped open with a bang, and several strange constructs came out from inside.

If Plover were here, he would be able to recognize these constructs.These slender constructs with magic furnaces, magic guns, and pointed helmets are very similar to his dragon hunters.

However, the two are not completely consistent.The dragon hunters that Fang Plover had seen were two-legged upright stepping structures, and these structures were all four-legged structures without exception.

As soon as these 'dragon hunter' constructs appeared, they immediately raised their magic guns and aimed at the black knight.

"Fire!" the middle-aged mage screamed.

There was a roar, flames rose, and smoke filled the hall.Countless blood flowers bloomed from the black knight's body like an electric shock, his figure tilted slightly in mid-air, and fell directly on the sofa not far away, lifeless.

Duke Hawke stepped aside as if he had never heard of it, and let the knight's corpse fall aside, turning into a little bit of light and dissipating.With his face sinking like water, he turned around and ordered, "Open the lower cabin and release all the nightmare furnace structures."

But the voice did not fall.

Suddenly there was a loud noise.

Bright flames rose from one side of the entire airship, and the hull shook violently, throwing both of them to the ground.Duke Hawk stopped his body with his magic wand, looked up and looked out of the glass bulkhead, the fire light was reflected on his face, and the scene above the sea of ​​clouds was reflected in the gray-green pupils.

Behind the clouds on the horizon.

A pitch-black warship is emerging.

And then another ship—

"That's the battleship of the Black Army of the Empire... Wait, why is the Black Army here!?"

The middle-aged wizard screamed in horror.
