"They boast of sacrifice, but when the sacrifice is chosen for themselves, they tremble and resign themselves to fate."
"Noble ones, you need to know! They are both subjects and enemies!"
"Noble ones, you need to know! Leading them requires a strong will rather than a great wisdom!"
"Only by crushing them with an ice-like will, can wisdom be displayed, and nobility can be respected!"
Heinz's voice made Eric think.
Yura murmured to herself with a dark face, "Lawrence's family training..."
Soon, amidst the shouts of killing, the Priest of the Storm stood up, raised the scepter in his hand, and announced loudly: "My king is merciful, and will benefit all people! But the majesty of the king of the tower cannot be desecrated! Gale King can't tolerate traitors! For traitors, Gale's torture is the best punishment!"
Before the words fell, Eric suddenly raised his head, his eyes full of shock.
According to his agreement with the storm priest Nikolai, Maximian, as a nobleman, should receive a "merciful and decent" execution method, that is, hanging!And the so-called gale torture is to attract the gale wind around the body of the Gale Demon God, tearing the victim into pieces!
This is torture comparable to Ling Chi!
Eric hurriedly looked at Nicolai, who was obviously unprepared, and looked at the high priest in surprise.
Seeing the high priest's icy eyes, the storm priest instantly understood everything - now that the situation is already unstable, the high priest needs a model to intimidate the people and suppress the wave of anti-resistance that is about to move!
He could only lower his head to avoid Eric's eyes, and retreated from the high platform in despair, allowing the storm guards to tie Maximian to the stake in the center of the high platform.
Eric tried to move forward, but was held tightly by Heinz.The thin old man burst out with unimaginable strength, which made it difficult for the giant Eric to move forward for a while!
At this time, Maximian on the high platform also cast complicated gazes.
That look seems to be comforting, as if saying goodbye.
In the next second, the chief priest's scepter was raised high, and the tornado as sharp as a knife drowned Maximian's figure!
The shrill screams were sent far away by the wind!Minced blood and flesh were splashed on the crowd!
After a brief silence, the crowd burst into even louder cheers!Many people even opened their arms, greedily welcoming the scarlet falling with the wind!
Eric's eye sockets were torn, and blood and tears were mixed and dripped down his cheeks.
Looking at the figure that disappeared in the wind and the fanatical crowd, he couldn't help muttering to himself.
"Don't trust people, especially stupid and ignorant civilians..."
Chapter 197
After the horrific and bloody execution, there was no body left of Maximian, and the crowd dispersed with satisfaction.
Under Heinz's reminder, Eric tried his best to pack up his appearance.
At this time, there was no trace of sadness on his face, but only the same coldness as Heinz, as if he had matured a lot in an instant.
Nikolai, who came to greet everyone, was slightly taken aback when he saw this, only feeling that he seemed to be a different person.He wanted to explain a few words to Eric about the method of execution, but seeing his appearance, he forgot to say it for a while.
After a moment of silence, he directly conveyed the high priest's will.
"Please follow me into the Storm Tower and meet my king."
Eric nodded silently, and led the crowd to follow Nikolai.Taking advantage of the time when Nikolai turned around to lead the way, he quietly stretched out his hand to hold the Ice Seal in his arms, pierced his palm with the pointed end, and used the power of time to pass on the information he had prepared.
Under the leadership of Nicolai, the dense wind wall around the Storm Tower opened a door, allowing a group of people to pass through.
Everyone followed Nikolai around the round tower and climbed up. After an unknown period of time, they finally came to an empty hall.
In the center of the hall stands a huge throne tens of meters high. The height of the pedestal alone is enough for a giant like Eric to break his neck!The throne was surrounded by violent hurricanes, which made the group of people who were a hundred meters away almost lose their footing!
Behind this violent hurricane, an indomitable figure is looming!
The chief priest of the storm greeted everyone behind the door.Surrounded by blue wind elements, he is also trying his best to resist the hurricane around Gale Demon God.
Seeing everyone entering the door, he raised his voice and shouted: "Forward! Forward as far as possible! Until you can no longer move forward, then kneel down on the spot and pay homage to my king!"
Without saying a word, Eric led the crowd to march forward against the strong wind.Every inch of progress, the power of the hurricane will be a little bit stronger.
After advancing dozens of steps, Eric knelt down on the ground and buried his head deeply at a distance of five to sixty meters from the throne.
Niwa and others followed suit and knelt down behind Eric.
The hurricane continued to intensify, almost blowing away everyone kneeling on the ground.A group of people tried their best to stabilize their bodies and resist the strong wind.
Soon, there was an indistinct cold and arrogant hum from the hurricane, and the wind weakened to its original state.
When everyone was at a loss, the voice of the chief priest of the storm came from behind, "The king's test is over, and you will all receive the promised rewards. Get up and leave now!"
Eric became anxious when he heard this.
According to the plan, they had to delay as long as possible in the core area of the tower until the North Wind Wolf King and the coalition forces ruled by time began to attack the Wall of Sighs from the outside, lure the Gale Demon God away, and then destroy the energy of the Wall of Sighs from the inside Core, I didn't expect everyone to be ordered to leave the tower within 15 minutes of entering the tower!
If they were driven out of the Storm Tower before the coalition forces started to attack the Wind Wall, there would be no possibility of entering the Tower, and Maximian's sacrifice would be in vain!
Seeing the urgency of the situation, Eric was the first to react, and hurriedly argued: "Master High Priest! I didn't know that it was my king's test, and I stopped before I was exhausted! Please let me try again!" Give it a try!"
The chief priest was stunned for a long time when he heard the words, as if he never thought that someone would make such a request.
He thought for a while, and persuaded: "My king's test is just a procedure. Even if you move forward again, even if you advance to my king's side, it will not bring you any additional benefits. Why don't you just forget it... ..."
Eric shook his head firmly and said: "No! The Lawrence family has just had a traitor. As the new patriarch, I must prove the loyalty of the Lawrence family to my king and win back the honor that belongs to the Lawrence family! Please allow me to try again!"
The high priest was speechless for a while, and the huge black shadow in the depths of the hurricane did not express anything.
At this moment, Eric's mind was running at a rare high speed, taking advantage of the high priest's failure to object in time, he quickly got up and continued to move forward.He moved very slowly. On the one hand, he was really fighting against the hurricane beside the throne, and on the other hand, he was also trying to delay time.
The chief priest's eyes flickered, but he couldn't find any reason to object for a while, he could only watch the tall figure hunched forward firmly.
One step, two steps, three steps...
As Eric got closer and closer to the throne, the hurricane became more intense, and it was almost about to blow this giant who weighed more than [-] kilograms into the air!Eric's back bent lower and lower, until finally he was almost prostrate on the ground, crawling forward with both hands and feet!He firmly grasped the gap between the floor tiles with his fingers, advancing almost inch by inch!
"Okay! Eric! The king has seen your determination and loyalty!" the high priest couldn't help shouting.
"No! Not enough! Not enough—!"
Eric's muscles were bulging, his nails were broken, and his fingers were dripping with blood, but he still refused to give up!With a roar, a pale light lit up between his hands and feet, and a precious gem appeared at his waist!
Eye of God!
With the help of the God's Eye, thick ice condensed on Eric's hands and feet, forming crampons and skates with strong grip, allowing him to grip the ground even more firmly!With this help, his forward speed increased instead of decreased!
Including Niwa, no one expected that Eric would get the Eye of God at this time!
The chief priest was the first to react, and hurriedly shouted: "Enough! Eric! You have been approved by the gods! Stop! Go ahead and you will be the king's bodyguard! You will be torn apart!" of!"
Before the words fell, the wind around Eric was dyed red!The gang wind that was as sharp as a knife opened countless wounds on his body in an instant!
With the power of God's Eye, Eric continuously condenses the ice armor on the surface of his body, but the ice armor is often cut into pieces by the wind as soon as it is formed!
Seeing that Eric was about to bleed to death, suddenly, a violent vibration made the whole tower tremble!
In the next second, violent elemental fluctuations came from the top of the tower, and the gang wind entrenched in the hall disappeared instantly!
In Niwa's perception, a powerful vitality flew towards the distance at high speed!
The coalition has finally launched an attack!Dekarapian has been led away!
Eric, who suddenly lost his opponent, used the ground too hard and fell forward to the ground.
Everyone, including the chief priest, rushed to check as fast as possible.I saw that Eric's body was covered with large and small wounds, many of which were turned up, as big as a baby's small mouth, pale in color, and not even bleeding much.
Seeing this scene, Niwa understood that Eric was hopeless.Although the original blood should be able to save him, but at this moment he has no time to condense the original blood and make it into an alchemy potion.
However, at this moment, a large gray mist suddenly surged from Eric's body!
Chapter 198
As the gray mist gushed out, a strange force began to fill the entire hall.
That kind of power has the clarity of crystal, the roughness of gravel, the flow of river water, and the vicissitudes of rock.
Even though he had never felt this kind of power up close, Niwa still quickly understood - this is the power of time!
However, he was not the only one who had this insight among the people present.
"The power of time?!"
The chief priest immediately raised the scepter after a brief moment of astonishment, and the surging wind elemental power began to gather!
His response was very quick and reasonable - the power of hostile demon gods appeared in the temple of the Gale King, no matter what, he had to control the situation first, and it would not be too late to investigate slowly later!
However, Niwa's reaction speed was faster than him!
Although everyone put their weapons at the entrance of the tower, Niwa Yunshi's power of rules doesn't use weapons at all!I saw him poke with two fingers together, and the wind element force that had just gathered was instantly silenced!
The chief priest was terrified in his heart, and continued to mobilize the wind element force while stepping back to widen the distance.In the temple of the Gale King, the wind elemental force is extremely active, and he can completely suppress the opponent with the advantage of the location!
However, in the next second, his legs seemed to have a mind of their own, moving left and right, which instantly made him lose his balance and fell into a daze!
Learned from Orobus, this Flesh Disorder trick works wonders in distracting and trapping enemies!
Before Niwa could make any further moves after making two moves in a row, Heinz swiftly pounced on him, tore off a sharp ornament hanging around his neck, and stabbed the high priest's neck more than ten times. !The chief priest without the protection of the wind element is no different from an ordinary old man, and his fragile neck is quickly smashed into a sieve!
Niwa understood that Heinz was worried that the chief priest was hiding some cards, so he simply killed him while he was sick and killed him!
Heinz is still the same, acting ruthlessly and steadily!In contrast, Yula is obviously better than him, but because he is hesitant to kill, she seems to be in a daze!
At the time of life and death, the most reliable person among the crowd is actually this former enemy!
While sighing in his heart, Niwa turned around and shot a lifeline at Nikolai who was still in a daze, pulling him in front of him and knocking him out.This person is just an ordinary person, he has no ability to resist at all, so it can be regarded as a life spared.
Finally, there were only five people left standing in the entire temple, two tribal warriors who followed Eric, and Niwa and his party.
At this moment, Niwa finally had time to approach the huge throne.
After the wind disappeared, the huge black shadow on the throne still existed, but it was lifeless like a sculpture, completely unresponsive to Niwa's approach.At the waist and abdomen of this black shadow, a group of blue light is emitting a faint light.
After observing for a while, Niwa finally came to a conclusion.
"The good news is that this is not Dekarapian's body, it's just a projection. When he himself leaves the Storm Tower, this projection loses its source of power and will no longer release hurricanes. The bad news is that this projection is a A wall of wind like the wall of sighs, and our goal is sheltered by it."
Everyone involuntarily looked at Eric who was surrounded by gray fog.
According to the original plan, after leading away Dekarapian, everyone will immediately subdue the remaining people in the temple, and then Eric will destroy the energy core of the Wall of Sighs with the Seal of Ice, but at this time Eric Already seriously injured and unconscious!
After careful inspection, Niwa shook his head and said, "This Seal of Ice is releasing the power of time to protect Eric's life. If you take it away, Eric will die immediately..."
Yula hesitated for a moment, gritted her teeth and said, "I am also of the blood of the Lawrence family, so I should be able to use the Seal of Ice, why not just sacrifice him..."
The two tribe warriors glared at Yura angrily.
Niwa also shook his head and said, "No... Eric is Maximian's eldest son and only son. He is probably your ancestor."
Yula frowned, "So what?"
Niwa said solemnly: "Have you ever thought about it, if Eric is dead, then where did you come from? If you have never appeared in this world, who is holding the seal of ice to destroy the sigh at this moment?" Wall? This is the time paradox!"
Yura was dumbfounded.
At this moment, a cold and haughty voice came from a distance, with sarcasm, "My daughter is good at everything, but she is not very smart... Don't blame her, among the Mond people whose brains have been blown away by the south wind, She can still see."
Everyone turned their heads and saw Heinz standing next to the phantom with a trademark sneer on his face.
Yula snapped back angrily, "Then what do you say!"
Heinz calmly took out a coat of arms with dim light from his pocket, curled his lips and said, "Idiot. There is not only one seal of solid ice."
Yula touched her pocket in astonishment, "When did you steal it!"
Heinz didn't answer, but said to himself: "Now I understand... This Seal of Ice has almost exhausted its power at this time, and it fell silent with the recluse of the time ruling, and it has been passed down for thousands of years. Then it was brought back here by us to complete its final mission."
His tone gradually became fanatical, the wrinkles on his face gradually stretched out, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Reincarnation...hahahaha... Time is indeed the most intelligent and powerful existence in power! Everything is the reincarnation of fate!"
"Lawrence is destined to bear the name of a sinner, no matter thousands of years ago or thousands of years later!"
"Lawrence is destined to embark on the road of sacrifice, whether it is an ancestor or a descendant!"
"Lawrence is destined not to be understood by everyone, whether it is right or wrong!"
"This is Lawrence's fate!"
Yula stood up, walked towards Heinz, stretched out her hand and said, "Give me the Seal of Ice!"
Heinz's frenzy gradually faded away, and his expression returned to calm. He shook his head and said, "Silly boy, you are the descendant of Lawrence. When you die, Lawrence will lose the inheritance. Whether you want to or not, you will continue to bear this fate and will Lawrence's family name passed on..."
Yula could no longer maintain a cold and stern expression, and her voice revealed pleading, "Give me the Seal of Ice... Please, Father!"
