I really only stop

Chapter 463 Shadow from the past (plus)

"Eh? Is this the place to start the trial?"

Looking curiously at the spacious square in front of her, Celica scratched her hair:

"Your Majesty of the Holy Light, I didn't see anything resembling the entrance of the maze. Could it be that the purpose of our gathering here at this moment is just to open the teleportation array?"

"No, no space magic is needed, the entrance to the secret realm is [here]."

Smiling mysteriously at Celica, Berendo's crown was rarely playful. He raised the majestic scepter that symbolized the Pope's majesty, and chanted loudly:

"All things, all worlds, all spirits, the holy light that guides and embraces all, open the door to trials—oh! It's hot!"

"...Grandfather Pope, you shouldn't play tricks when everyone is nervous like this."

Calmly withdrawing the Holy Light Bullet from her fingertips, Yushia was clearly smiling, but completely overwhelmed the supposedly majestic Pope in her aura:

"I don't remember that kind of weird chant in the scriptures, please be serious."

"it is good……"

Dejectedly withdrawing the scepter, His Majesty the Pope muttered in a low voice:

"Didn't I imitate Celika's singing loudly because of her vigor? It's worth encouraging the old man to regain his youthful attitude—"

Yushia: (smiling).

It seems that this child is really worried about Lu Xi who is about to enter the trial.

At a glance, he saw the reason for Yuxia's stern behavior at the moment, but the Pope, who was like a mirror in his heart, did not speak out.After glancing at Lu Xi who didn't know what happened with some resentment, he stretched out his hand and pressed it on the base of the statue of the first saint, Hiyera:

"Start the Holy Light Trial."

【Om—】

Just like the opening scene that is very common in science fiction novels, a secret door slowly appears on the thick base of the statue, and at the same time, the eyes of the statue of Hiyera light up slightly:

【…】

Not at all surprised by the situation in front of him, His Holiness gave instructions for the next step:

"Luci, Cocoa, you two stand in front of the statue."

"Ah."

As soon as Lu Xi and the two stood in front of the statue according to their words, two holy magic formations appeared at their feet in an instant as if they had been prepared in advance. The holy runes flew into their bodies.

【Om—】

There was another slight buzzing sound, and there seemed to be a glimmer of light from the secret door that appeared on the base of the statue, and then everything returned to calm again.

"Well, in this way, you are eligible to enter the trial."

Watching all this happening, His Majesty the Pope nodded:

"Enter through the secret door and walk along the road. At the end of the road, you can see an activated holy magic circle. Once you step on it, the trial of the holy light will officially begin—if everything is ready, now Let's go."

"..."

Hearing this, Cocoa, who was fidgeting under Yushiya's gaze, naturally stepped into the secret door, and Lu Xi also followed up with Cocoa after exchanging eyes with his teammates representing "rest assured". pace of.

After both of them entered, the secret door slowly closed without leaving even a trace.If it hadn't been for the others watching the secret door close just now, no one would have thought that there is such a mechanism hidden on the perfectly stitched base of the statue.

"The rest is up to them."

Sighing slightly, His Majesty the Pope looked at Yuxia with some expectation, and carefully offered the invitation:

"I don't know how long their trial will last, why don't we take advantage of this time to go shopping?"

"...Grandfather Pope, that's why you started the Holy Light Trial—huh?"

Miss Saintess just rubbed her forehead, but she seemed to find something out of the corner of her eye.

"What's wrong? Yushia?"

Sensitively noticing Yuxia's strangeness, Nana looked up and followed her line of sight, but only saw the calm and loving expression of the statue:

"Is there something wrong with the statue itself?"

"No... maybe I was wrong."

Shaking her head lightly, although her mouth comforted Nana, Yuxia's brows were still slightly frowned.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but why did I feel that the smile on the corner of the statue's mouth... seems to have grown a bit bigger?

……strangeness.

--------------

The 'Holy Magic Circle' mentioned by the Pope is not so easy to find.At least, the two of Lu Xi have been walking on this trail for 3 minutes without seeing the end.

Move left.

[Move left. 】

move right.

[Move right. 】

"...Kokea, why do you keep stopping me?"

Looking at the knight girl who was subtly stuck in her position, Lu Xi couldn't help asking:

"I can't speed up like this."

"Your Excellency Lu Xi, just follow me."

The pace did not become confused at all because of these words, Cocoa still maintained a vigilant posture and watched the front:

"Her Majesty the Pope told me to protect Your Excellency Lucy. Although the trial has not officially started, there is still a possibility of danger. It is the best choice for me to open the way."

It's this kind of straightforward way of speaking that doesn't save people a little face...

Lu Xi gave a dry cough, and decided not to get too entangled with the problem children of Sanctuary's special products.

Similar to Yushiya who was obsessed with [Correct] when they first met, Cocoa in front of her is obviously obsessed with [Chivalry].In a sense, they all did what they had learned [the best], but they lacked a little 'human touch'.

As it is now, it is obvious that Cocoa walked in front to protect her out of good intentions, but because of her way of speaking, if a narrow-minded person comes, it may cause the other party's dissatisfaction or even malice.

...I feel more and more that His Majesty the Pope has another purpose in asking her to walk with me.

[Can I really learn anything useful from this person? 】

What Lu Xi didn't expect was that while he was trying to figure out what the knight girl was thinking, the other party was actually quietly observing himself.

Your Excellency Lu Xi doesn't look like anything special.

Not only did he not show great strength, but he couldn't even find a trace of steel-like will.Except why he can be the teammate of Lady Saint is confusing, the man behind him seems to be no different from ordinary people.

However, since it is an order from the Pope, there must be a reason for the Pope himself.

Shaking his head to dispel the distracting thoughts in his heart, a gleam of light suddenly flashed in the corner of Cocoa's eyes:

"Your Excellency Lu Xi, the holy magic circle is ahead. We will soon enter the trial, please be prepared."

"Well, I saw it too."

Silently preparing to activate the time stop, Lu Xi and Cocoa met each other's eyes, and the two stepped into the envelope of the holy magic circle together.

The holy light rose instantly to block the sight of the two of them. Just when Lu Xi felt that he was about to be teleported away, a strange throbbing suddenly came from inside his body.

[Yiyaha!Yay ha ha ha! ! ! 】

Before Lu Xi had time to judge whether this was an illusion, the next moment, as if polluted by endless filth, the original brilliant golden color of the holy light suddenly turned black, even the appearance revealed an ominous atmosphere.

"Lord Lucy! Be careful!"

Noticing this obvious change, Cocoa immediately picked up the holy gun and was about to break through the magic circle. However, the black holy light didn't give her this chance.

【Om—】

The black holy light gradually dissipated, but the previous two were nowhere to be seen.

In the same place, there was only a strange laughter that seemed to come from the void:

[Yiyaha!Yay ha ha ha! ! ! 】

PS: A lot of updates have been added, na na na (→)

Chapter 464 The Empty Stone Tower

"Ugh..."

In the chaos, Lu Xi frowned slightly.

The surrounding environment was terrifyingly quiet, but there was a faint wind blowing around.If it wasn't for the sudden opening of the secret door we entered earlier, then the place we are now has moved.

The black holy light, and the inexplicable feeling in the body just now...

[time stop].

In case of indecision, start and stop first.Even if you don't do anything, you should at least find out the surrounding environment before you speak.

Feeling that the surroundings were once again plunged into the absolute silence that stopped forever, Lucy opened his eyes after a little peace of mind.

... so high.

At this time, he was lying on the bottom floor of a tall stone tower in a big shape.The field of vision in front of him was extremely broad, and he could see the spire at the highest point straight at a glance, and this subtle sense of spatial dislocation also made Lu Xi feel dizzy for a while.

By the way, what about Cocoa?

Sitting up from the ground, Lu Xi looked around, and sure enough, he found the knight girl who was also asleep.

Although Cocoa herself didn't seem to have woken up from her lethargy, the holy spear [Miniad] on her back shone with brilliance as if it had spirituality—it was precisely because of this reassuring light source that Lu Xi Only then can we see every plant and tree in the stone tower clearly.

It's really a good thing, I shouldn't be handsome just now, it would be great to just ask for the gift package of Yuxia's rich woman raising artifacts.

He completely dispelled the tension in his heart with incongruous complaints, and after scanning it with [Visualization of Blood Bars] to confirm that there were no life forms around the stone tower, he lay back on the spot and untied the time stop.

'system. '

【I am here. 】

This time the system was not disconnected.Although he is a guy who always loves to fish, he still feels safe to be accompanied by such a system that actively creates slots and can be connected smoothly even if he spits out slots that people on the earth understand.

Since the system can work normally, in other words, at least it doesn't have as much mystery as Zelika's mind image space.

Pulling the system light screen, Lu Xi asked:

"What happened when I just passed out?"

[Reporting to the host, you should have just experienced a space transfer of a holy nature. 】

Played back the sudden scene of the black holy light transformation on the light screen, and the system performed very well this time:

[Although there are several key runes that are different from those used by Miss Yuxia, they are basically the same. 】

"Huh? You call this thing [roughly the same]?"

Stretching his hands to enlarge the black holy light in the screen, Lu Xi looked at the system light screen with a strange expression:

"Be honest, are you color blind? Color blindness can at least distinguish between black, white and gray."

[The system's real name opposes the host's behavior of doubting the system's judgment. 】

Three red warning screens popped up consecutively to express dissatisfaction, and the fonts used by the system are all a little bigger:

[The black holy light is also holy light, the host can ask the lady clergyman on the side about this. 】

Is the black holy light also holy light?

It's all about complaining, Lu Xi still has great trust in the system's capabilities.Seeing the information displayed by the system, he was 'Fucked!Did I get involved in something troublesome again?" The idea wavered a little.

Maybe the clergyman who built the Holy Light Trial is a second-year child who is similar to the idiot Nia next door. Because he thinks [the black Holy Light is more handsome], he specially designed a color-changing function for the teleportation array?

...Anyway, let's talk about it after waking up Cocoa.

After making up his mind, Lu Xi just wanted to reach out to pat the purple-haired knight's face, but when he stretched his hand halfway, he moved down a little as if he suddenly remembered something.

Well, it's rare to have this opportunity, let's touch it.
