Civilization Guardian Front

After quickly reading the information on the light curtain, Chios felt a rare sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Thinking about it carefully, his eye of robbery was originally a cursed item that devoured the soul of the holder.Fortunately, after leaving the world of "11eyes", the weakened magic eye lost the ability to devour souls.

result...

The crystal-shaped trial reward in front of him turned out to be another power shard with a vicious curse attached, or the kind with side effects.

Why always give yourself something with an evil dark undertone?Wouldn't it be good to give rewards like Holy Sword, Holy Grail, Pegasus...

The Goddess of War and Wisdom doesn't want to train a Demon King herself...

Seeing the smiling goddess walking in front of him, the young man secretly sighed.

"Wonderful things of destiny will choose their own masters..." Liana, who stood quietly by the side, seemed to see the doubts in Chios' eyes and explained:

"Only those whose achievements, stature, and abilities are recognized by him are qualified to possess the wonders of destiny."

(What do you mean by this... Do you mean that my traits just attract the dark curse-type strange things of fate...)

The words of the Holy Maiden of the Spear completely cut off Chios' last hope.

So far, he can only choose to appoint.

"Are you ready?" A white and delicate hand rested lightly on the young man's shoulder. The goddess whose smile was a little frightening a moment ago turned soft, and said to Chios in a gentle voice:

"Don't worry, it'll be over soon."

"Yes." The young man who had long since given up struggling nodded.

"So... let's get started."

After finishing speaking, Athena held the hand of the purple black crystal and pressed it straight on Chios' left chest.

hum...

A series of rippling ripples spread.

The angular multi-faceted crystals did not cut through the clothing, but were easily pushed into the young man's body.

It's like sinking into the water...

Seeing a spar embedded in his heart in such a magical way, the consciousness in his mind took it for granted that "this will hurt".

However...

Until the last corner of the purple black crystal was pressed into the left chest by the palm of the goddess, he did not feel the slightest difference in his body.

Just as Chios had this thought in his mind, Athena's expression turned serious.

"Don't relax, get ready..."

The goddess' voice just fell, before Chios responded.

"Anomaly" came suddenly...

The heart seemed to be firmly pinched by an invisible giant claw.

The next moment, the source power in his body suddenly drained uncontrollably and was crazily poured into some kind of dark, cold inorganic substance.

boom!

The purple-black ominous breath erupted violently from Yuqios' chest.

The violent ghost aura is endless, forming a typhoon-like vortex in an instant, raging around the holder.The airflow like a real sharp blade swept across the ground, leaving countless white scratches.

Facing the natural disaster-like purple and black ghost spirit in front of them, the two women present remained unmoved.

A pale golden airflow emerged from Liana's body, easily blocking all external attacks...

Athena turned a blind eye, and the roar of the air flow swept past, only making her purple hair flutter slightly and the hem of her skirt flutter a few times.

With the understatement of the two people's response to ghost aura, helping Chios to suppress the power of ghosts is just a wave of hands.

However, their reactions at this time were surprisingly unanimous, and their eyes were always fixed on the young man, but they did not make a move.

"Woo...damn it!"

Chios, who has always been gentle and gentle, covered his face distorted and hideous due to pain, and couldn't help cursing.

The ghost energy swallowed the blood and turned into a boiling black curse surging in the blood vessels; the muscles were like engines that had received enough energy, and they were eager to vent their mania; the brain that was originally clear-headed was flooded by endless malice.

Under the violent waves of malice, reason was quickly eroded and riddled with holes.

A head of black hair suddenly faded back to nothingness and pale, and the amethyst-colored eyes were stained with bloodthirsty red.

With Chios' right hand, he pulled out the long sword from the void, and the purple-black aura immediately wrapped around the sword.

"Go to hell!"

The purple-black sword light cut towards Athena's smooth and fair neck.

Facing the life-threatening blade, the goddess didn't even look at it, and kept pressing the young man's chest with one hand, her eyes fixed on Chios's eyes all the time.

brush!

The half-swung long sword stopped in the air, and the young man's hand gripping the hilt couldn't help shaking...

"It's really... difficult...to control..." Chios gritted his teeth, a self-deprecating twisted smile appeared on his handsome face.

"I don't want...the newcomer...to offend the boss soon after joining the company."

Following his words, the long sword in his hand disappeared again and returned to the heraldry space.

The berserk ghost energy was also drawn, turned around and poured into the young man's left chest, returning to the purple-black crystal in the heart.

"Unexpectedly... withstood the first outbreak of the huge power fragments of the complete curse..." Liana, who had been calm before, had a rare look of astonishment flashing through her sky blue eyes.

"What an admirable will."

"Stop talking...sarcasm...my lord..." Stuttering out the words intermittently, Chios grasped the ancient ring on his chest with trembling hands.

"Without it... I wouldn't... possibly..."

Before he could finish the sentence, a burst of intense tiredness suddenly hit him.

In the next second, Chios' consciousness completely fell into darkness...

The young man who lost his strength fell face forward.

puff...

The goddess who didn't dodge or evade caught him head-on.

"You're doing well..." With her slender arms wrapping around Chios' back, Athena looked deeply at the young man's tired face, and gently stroked his already black hair.

"My ring can only enhance the positive qualities you have deep within you, but it can't give you abilities you never had, so...you definitely did it all on your own."

"Take a good rest."

After speaking, the goddess bowed her head and kissed Chios on the forehead.

The sleeping young man's breathing suddenly became more gentle.

"How, Liana..." Turning her face to the side, Athena smiled and looked at the woman in heavy armor, and asked:

"Interested in having him as your student?"

"Heh... It's also my honor to be able to guide such an excellent person." A faint smile appeared on the awe-inspiring and beautiful face of the blond woman.

Immediately, she solemnly nodded to Athena.

"The Seventh Pillar of the Apostle of the Serpent, the Maiden of the Spear, Liana Sandrot, will do her best to teach him everything she has learned."

Chapter 160 Two? The Holy Instructor

When Chios woke up, it was already night.

When you open your eyes, the endless night sky occupies the field of vision in front of you. Bright stars dot the deep canvas, and a round of silver moon sprinkles the moonlight, bringing soft light to the peaceful land.

The sound of the flowing river echoed in his ears, and he could hear the subtle twittering of insects and birds around him, as well as the sparse swaying sound of the grass blades blown by the night wind.

Through the touch from behind, he confirmed that he was lying on a hammock, and the two ends of the rope were tied to the trunks of two cherry trees not far away.

"I am..."

Reflexively reached out and pressed his heart, Chios sat up slowly without feeling anything strange.

A somewhat familiar dignified female voice came from behind the young man:

"you're awake? "

Chios turned his head following the sound, his eyes froze immediately.

Under one of the cherry trees connected to the hammock, the Spear Maiden in silver armor leaned against the tree, sitting gracefully with her knees bent.

The moonlight slantly reflected on the woman's pale golden hair and armor, blurring a layer of hazy silver-white brilliance, so beautiful and dreamy that it was unreal, like a dream.

Holding a book with a dark brown leather cover in both hands, she read quietly with moonlight instead of candlelight.

"Your Excellency the Holy Maiden?"

Realizing that he was still sitting on the bed at this moment, Chios hurriedly left the hammock and bowed to the blonde woman.

"I'm ashamed to bother you to watch me sleepy."

"It's okay if you don't have to be so cautious..." Saying this, Liana gently closed the book, stood up and walked towards Chios.

"The leader has entrusted me with the responsibility of guiding you. From now on, we are a teacher-student relationship."

"Yep? "

The black-haired young man frowned, but quickly suppressed his surprise.

That goddess boss really didn't even give her a chance to choose, so she arranged herself clearly...

I don't know how to describe this complex feeling of being involuntary but not disgusting, so Chios can only hide all his emotions under a mask of a smile.

"It is my luck to have your advice, Your Excellency the Holy Maiden."

"Just call me Leanna..."

"Please don't embarrass me, Your Excellency the Holy Maiden." Chios responded with some helplessness.

To be honest, he is not good at getting along with women like Athena and Liana.

He is more powerful than him, has lived longer than him, and has more knowledge than him, even if he is acting, he is likely to be seen through...

In front of the other party, the young man has no advantage at all. For Chios, who is used to hiding his emotions, every second he gets along with him seems to be continuously exposing his weakness to the other party.

If he was just an ordinary passionate young man, he should be very happy to accept the kindness of the Holy Maiden of the Gun...

It's a pity that Chios is not this kind of person. He is more used to keeping a certain safe distance when facing people who are not sure how to deal with them freely.

He knows many things, but he hasn't learned how to act like a baby...

In the process of growing up, there was never anyone to rely on.

"Okay..." Seeing Chios' embarrassment, the saint of the gun chuckled and changed her words:

"If you don't want to, how about calling me instructor?"

After slightly nodding his head, Chios looked at the woman in front of him apologetically.

"Thank you for your understanding, Instructor."

"Don't mind..." Liana shook her head lightly, her azure eyes reflected the awe-inspiring color, calm but without any haze.

Walking to the side of the hammock, the Maiden of the Spear quickly untied the ropes at both ends.

It wasn't until then that Chios noticed that the "hammock" he had slept in was actually Liana's white cloak that was originally worn behind the armor.

(Alas...) The young man rubbed his brows with his fingers to hide his complicated expression.

"The lord is busy with affairs, so I will inform you of the rights and obligations of the executor, but before that..." Liana turned around after retying the cloak to the knight armor and putting the rope into the heraldry space.

"Let me introduce you to the Eternal City first, so that you can get acquainted with your future home."

"Okay, instructor."

...

Chios and Liana stood side by side on the cliff, the gurgling water passed by their left side, and the magnificent palace complex built along the cliff was on the right side.

From here, you can easily overlook the whole city...

The Eternal City was built next to a huge cliff, and the Ishuar River above extended countless small and medium-sized tributaries, and turned into a waterfall at the edge of the cliff, pouring into the canal below.The whole city is divided into four main urban areas by three horizontal canals, which are from the inside to the outside: the palace area, the commercial area, the dock area, and the suburbs.
