Chapter 418 Fragments
For a moment El thought Cyprus was dead.

Of course, this does not refer to the Fallen Leaf Sword Master 300 years ago, but the projection left by Cyprus on the White Stone Trail, or it can also be said to be a soul fragment.During the Battle of Sword Castle, Cyprus helped him through the crisis at the most critical moment, but it also consumed all the energy to maintain its existence.

Objectively speaking, El is still very grateful to this guy who is both a teacher and a friend. Although he has not been with him for a long time, he still feels that this guy is very suitable for him.If they weren't in different eras, the two of them might be able to become a pair of good friends.

But this kind of gratitude doesn't apply to every situation.For example, the guy who suddenly jumped up to cheat the corpse now made El extremely ashamed.

Of course he wouldn't admit that he was really taken aback.

El turned his head and saw Laurana and Gawain standing at the door of the hall, but the two of them seemed to be ignorant of the changes in the surrounding environment. The purple cubic crystal suspended in the air was still in normal operation and could Also did not show any abnormality.

If one person didn't notice the abnormality, that's all. If the two people didn't notice the abnormality... then maybe only I was affected by the abnormality.This truth is not profound, but many people may not be able to understand it.However, El happened to have a lot of experience about this, and when he recognized Cyprus, he had already had doubts in his heart.

"Is this an illusion?" El asked tentatively.

"That depends on how you define the meaning of the word 'illusion'... From a subjective perspective, it is somewhat appropriate, but objectively, the two are completely different." Cyprus leaned on the back of the chair and supported it with his hands Chin laughed.

"I'm sorry I don't know anything about magic." El sat down across from him and shrugged.

"Very good, it seems that we have found another common ground." Cyprus nodded and said: "But it doesn't matter, since you have already got my inheritance, you should at least understand a little bit of the essence of swordsmanship. I can use simpler way for you to understand."

"I'm sorry that I don't know much about swordsmanship, because you died before you could teach me." El said blankly.

"That's just your illusion." Cyprus shook his head, raised his finger, and looked away from El.

He wasn't moving very quickly, but Al was horrified to find that he couldn't dodge.His wild intuition has already felt a threat that cannot be described in words, but his body has not reacted at all, and he can only watch the stunning sword in his memory bloom like a fallen leaf with the wind, blooming in front of his eyes.

Of course, he also knew that the reappearance of Cyprus in front of him was definitely not for stabbing him to death with a sword, so after the instinctive struggle was ineffective, he gave up resisting.

Cyprus' finger tapped lightly in mid-air, and an invisible ripple spread out from between his fingers.There seems to be no change in reality, but some kind of change has indeed occurred.The blue light in El's eyes flickered, and when the world in his eyes was immersed in blue, he could clearly observe a cloud of black mist staying between Cyprus' fingers.

In fact, it wasn't the black mist, but the hole left after the sword tore through the space.On the other side of the pothole is the legendary void.

El has used the power of the wind marks countless times to flash behind the enemy and launch an attack. The essence of that ability is actually to use the wind marks to instantly tear the space and travel through the void.Although he had never seen the existence of the void with his own eyes, El was no stranger to that feeling.

"What is space?" Cyprus looked into El's eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"This is where we are." El thought for a while, and gave his own answer.Of course he knew that his answer had no technical content, but this was the answer he got after independent thinking.With the little things in his mind, it is not easy to understand "space" to this extent.

"It's rough, but it's a more appropriate answer. The knowledge of this era is so poor that most people can't even understand the most basic literal meaning of this word."

Regarding El's answer, although Cyprus had a noncommittal look on his face, he did not directly refute it.He waved his hand and smoothed out the space he had torn apart without a trace, as if nothing had happened.

"Based on your understanding, the essence of this world is actually the same as the hall we are in now. This is a place... that can be described, and it can also be called a space. Outside this hall, Those underground rock formations that humans cannot pass through are equivalent to void." Cyprus said unhurriedly.

"So you just tore apart the space, that is, broke the wall of this house?" El asked tentatively. So far, he still doesn't know what Cyprus wants to say.

"We're just sitting here drinking tea and chatting." Cyprus picked up the teacup on the coffee table, looked at El and smiled.

"Forgive me, but I really can't understand this kind of philosophical question with my IQ." El shrugged and said impatiently: "So I'll just say it, what the hell are you doing?"

"No, on the contrary, this question should be left to you." Cyprus said: "This is not a philosophical question, it's just a different perspective. One of the inferiorities of human race is that it is difficult for them to realize their own mistakes. What you are thinking about now is why I appear in front of you... But have you ever thought about why only you can see my existence?"

El was stunned. He turned his head to look at Laurana and Gawain who still hadn't noticed anything unusual behind him, and an absurd guess flashed in his heart.

"But it doesn't make sense..." he couldn't help talking to himself.

"Another angle, as I said, another angle." Cyprus spread his hands and smiled meaningfully: "The ascetic monk, the emblem on his collar shows that he is a high-level leader within the Truth Society. In which internal document did I find this hidden place, and I made full preparations for it."

"That girl exudes the aura of abyss and hell. I don't know which powerful existence she has provoked. I saw the fraudster in her hand... Gods, the combination of demon power and fraudster, that picture is so beautiful I can't even imagine it! Fortunately, I don't have to worry about it anymore."

"They may all be masters at solving puzzles, but this is not a puzzle. I am the keeper of the tomb, and this is naturally a tomb. There is no need to solve puzzles to open the door of the tomb. All it needs is a key."

"I don't have a key either," Al said.

"Of course you have the key." Cyprus raised his finger and hooked it lightly, tearing a gap in the clothes on El's chest in the air, and the little Langa hidden in his arms was immediately exposed.

Little Langa rolled herself into a ball, sleeping sweetly on El's chest, and didn't respond to the sudden light at all.She was supposed to be in a telepathic connection with El, but at this point there was no response.Obviously, she didn't notice anything unusual.

El soon realized that what Cyprus wanted to show him was definitely not his pet, but the black ring that his pet hung on his tail as a plaything.

"Looking at your surprised expression, can I assume...you don't know the true face of this thing?" Cyprus' expression became a little subtle.

"It's a relic from my adoptive father, and all I know is that it responds to runic power," El said.

"Aha? Rune power?" Cyprus couldn't help laughing as if he had heard some joke.He waved his hand and said with a chuckle: "Let's assume for the time being that you can already understand the true meaning of the rune system, then let me guess, you have never used your rune ability to analyze this ring?"

"I don't think it's necessary." El said, but couldn't help but nodded in his heart.Of course, he has never done such boring things. Generally speaking, no one would study the things around him when he was full.

"Don't try it, it's definitely useless." Cyprus saw through El's inner thoughts, waved his hand and said, "It can't be described, it can't be changed, this is the characteristic of Dark Moon Babylon. This thing smells like a stone in a latrine Hard."

"You said Dark Moon Babylon..." El blinked in surprise, he seemed to remember where he had heard the word.

"There are only a few fragments of the dark moon left in this world, and there are well-documented records of which party they belong to. When you reach our level, you will know that this is no secret." Cyprus looked at Egypt. With the ring in his hand, there was a playful look on his face, and he said softly: "This is really an extremely ironic fate joke, the ancestors who built this mausoleum would never have expected that the means of protection they thought were perfect , but there is such a ridiculous omission hidden behind it-they never imagined that apart from the real key itself, there would be other dark moon fragments left in the hands of mortals, and they made up the secrets by accident. They have fully understood all the conditions for unlocking the seal."

"What conditions did I get together?" El asked puzzled.

"First of all, of course, the fragments of the dark moon, and then the pure ancient human blood, and..." Cyprus tilted his head, and said with a sly smile: "The oldest power inheritance."

"You mean rune power?" El asked.

"It's my inheritance, idiot!" Cyprus said loudly with twitching corners of his eyes, "I really don't know what kind of **** you stepped on to inherit my inheritance!"

Al gazed at him innocently, and after a moment, Cyprus covered her face in resignation.

"Forget it, I know I'm the kind of fringe character who doesn't sound famous and doesn't look very powerful." Cyprus said with a gloomy face.
