Ark of the Immortal

And this person seemed to have some overlap with the Pallas in front of him.

The same gray-black robe, the same gilt trim, the only difference is the color of the hair and the eyes...

The undead man was stunned for a moment. He was still a little unresponsive. He always felt that he should have seen what that person's pupils looked like. Why couldn't he remember it now?

"Destined, hero."

The undead man repeated Pallas's name, trying to get her reaction.

"Why, call me that?"

In the early days of the Age of Fire, when the undead first visited the continent of Lordland, many people called the undead people the destiny of the undead.

This is not a title given by the gods, but in their consciousness, the undead seems to be such an existence.

He is obviously an ordinary immortal, but he is able to accomplish such feats as hunting gods and bringing back the king's soul, as if he has taken on the destiny given by God.

And now, such a similar title came out of Pallas's mouth again.

"What do you think?"

Pallas did not answer the undead man directly, but wanted to see the undead man's reaction.

The green-eyed priest approached the undead man slightly, as if he wanted to see through the slits in the undead man's helmet what his eyes looked like behind the helmet.

"..."

The immortal man also stared at Pallas, not avoiding her gaze.

"This is the oracle, the call that each of us priests can hear from the original temple."

Pallas was the first to be unable to withstand the pressure of the undead. She turned away her sight, took two steps back, and came to the vessel filled with flames.

"It's calling a person's name. But the name is so vague that people can't hear what it is."

"The original high priests wrote it down and supplemented it at intervals with interpretations of oracles."

"Up to the time of this Undead Competition, we have recorded hundreds of years of history in the Temple of Heroes. But even so, we only got a few words that could clarify our thoughts."

These were Minos' secrets, and Pallas would tell them to the undead, which obviously meant that the undead were connected to them.

"And the latest call, it tells us that a hero will go and take it away."

The undead people understood. What Pallas meant was that there was something in the Temple of Heroes that made them hold this undead competition.

Pallas did not give the immortal a chance to speak, and she came to the vessel containing the fire.

Suddenly, her slender white palm was inserted into the vessel and engulfed in flames.

Such behavior did not cause any pain to appear on Pallas's face.

Instead, when Pallas took out her palm again, a small flame appeared in her palm.

Even though the flame was tiny, it really burned in Pallas's palm.

It's exactly the same as the undead holding the first fire.

And this scene is a long time ago in the memory of the immortal.

"Mr. Battle Knight, do you know that the birth of Minos was not an accident."

"It is said that people on the continent of Terra were still living in the barbaric era. At that time, there were no civilization gatherings, and there were no houses large enough for people to rest."

"Only the people in the far east released the shackles on their bodies. They hunted the gods and established the Great Yan Dynasty."

"But just before that, there was already the Temple of Heroes, and there were also the heroes who guarded the Temple of Heroes."

Pallas waved to the undead man, indicating that the undead man should come closer.

The undead man took a few steps forward, approached the vessel holding the flame, and stared at the flame.

In fact, this is just ordinary fire, and no one can see the nature of this flame more clearly than the undead.

"It is said that a goddess originally came here, and she brought a sword capable of burning the world."

The immortal turned his head and stared at Pallas.

Pallas seemed to feel the immortal's gaze, and she smiled.

"But after countless time passed, this sword gradually lost its power... No, it is better to say that this sword is like a rootless duckweed. It has no source of power itself. It only contains the power that can burn the world. .”

"The goddess left this sword in the temple of heroes where people commemorated her to protect Minos."

"She also brought people's longing for heroes. Just because she once said that she had seen a real hero."

"He is a hero who uses his own power to save and give new life when the world is about to collapse."

The undead man was silent for a moment. Facing Minos's gaze, the undead man asked softly.

"her name?"

"No record."

Pallas shook his head and gave a disappointing answer.

"There is no record of the name of the goddess. But later priests, in order to imitate her appearance, wore clothes similar to hers."

"A gray-black robe, noble gilt trim, and a shawl that only the high priest of the Temple of Heroes is qualified to wear."

Pallas's few words brought back memories of the immortal.

It was the figure he remembered waiting for him by the campfire.

"Then the oracle came to me and told me that I would meet a true hero."

"He will pass through the illusion created by the sword just like he did thousands of years ago, and let the long sword return to the hands of the hero."

When Pallas said this, her words gradually calmed down and were no longer as passionate as before.

"What do you think?"

The undead man remained silent for a long time, and then he sighed softly.

"You know what else?"

The priest threw the flame in his hand back into the vessel containing the flame.

"No, that's all I know. But I know you must be different, you must know more."

The undead certainly knew more, and the information Pallas gave almost made it clear.

A long time ago, a sword brought by the Fire Girl was left in Minos' Temple of Heroes.

Therefore, the heroes who go to the Hero Temple to undergo trials can gain strength from it, or weapons that can match their own strength.

If not a fire girl, who else could it be?

Faced with the silence of the immortal, Pallas did not ask what the immortal knew.

If he is truly immortal, then he is a destined hero as she calls him. It is correct, that is to say, this hero will make Minos more prosperous.

Even the way Pallas held the flame was exactly the same as the way the fire girl held the first fire. The immortals didn't believe it, it was just a coincidence.

"So, what do I do?"

Without any hesitation, the undead man had found his new target.

No matter what the fire girl left in the temple of heroes, it was something that the undead must get.

"Win the Undead Tournament, become the hero of the battle celebration, and take away the treasure left in the Hero's Temple."

Pallas clapped his hands, as if to brush away the dust in his hands.

"But before that, I wonder if Sir Hero has time to have lunch with me?"

A huge question mark seemed to appear on the undead man's head.

He couldn't understand why Pallas's topic changed so suddenly.

After asking a priest to help inform everyone in Rhode Island that he would not be with them at noon.

The immortal and Pallas quietly slipped out of the back door of the temple.

Pallas took off his priestly robes and put on his daily robes.

Looking at it this way, it barely looks like a girl.

"where are we going."

The reason why the immortal agreed to Pallas's invitation was because he felt that Pallas might know more and wanted to pry more information from this person.

But Pallas just randomly chose a restaurant, said hello to the boss, and then took the undead man to sit down.

At this time, Pallas didn't look like a high priest at all.

"I'm very sorry for pulling you out and having a meal alone for this reason."

As soon as she sat down, Pallas apologized to the undead, as if she had done something wrong.

"But I can guarantee that what I just said is true! There are also some details that need to be communicated to you."

The undead man nodded slightly to express his understanding.

After all, the twist Pallas just made was indeed a bit abrupt, and it took some time for even the immortal to accept it.

After the boss brought the local Minoan specialties, Pallas rubbed his hands and planned to start eating.

Now, Pallas's original dignified and sacred appearance has disappeared, and he looks like a casual and carefree girl.

Feeling the undead man's gaze, Pallas chuckled twice.

"Sorry, the high priest is also a human being. It's impossible for someone to be like that all the time, right?"

It seems that she is quite self-aware.

The immortal pushed the plate in front of him forward to show that he was not hungry yet and was waiting for Pallas to eat.

The way Palas eats is quite normal, and it is more pleasing to the eye than the wild eating methods of Bloodthorn and Keob.

"how to say."

After Pallas swallowed the food in his mouth, he wiped the corners of his mouth with the napkin next to him.

"Indeed, I received an oracle. It was told to me by the goddess. I had a conversation with her in my dream. She told me that the destined hero would come to take away the treasures located in the Temple of Heroes."

"All the priests of Jasenus know about this. We decided to hold an undead competition through a meeting, but at the same time there is another problem that bothers us."

Pallas said looking at the undead man.

"The Temple of Heroes is the center of Pallas, and the treasures enshrined in the Temple of Heroes are also the way to gain our strength."

"If you take away that treasure, Minos' military defense capabilities up to this point may collapse."

This is very clear, and I also learned this from the previous exchange between the undead and the fire god Dubin.

The heroic culture of Minoans was built around the hero temple.

Heroes recognized by the people are qualified to enter the Hero Temple and receive blessings from the gods.

At the same time, you will also get power from the Hero Temple, or matching weapons.

If the undead take away the core of the Temple of Heroes, then this rule may become invalid.

The undead man asked with a slightly cold voice.

"Don't you hope that a winner will emerge?"

"No, no, no, don't worry. I'm not inviting you out to dinner because I want you to give up the idea of ​​taking away the treasure."

"If I understand correctly, it is yours and does not belong to Minos."

Pallas shook his head quickly.

"I want to talk to you about other things, such as what kind of situation Minos will face after losing his treasure."

The undead man's tone softened slightly when he heard that Pallas was not stopping him.

"Say it."

Pallas asked quickly after hearing that the undead were willing to communicate with him.

"What do you think of Minos so far?"

The immortal thought for a while, and finally just shook his head.

Not that the undead thought Minos bad.

He has not yet fully understood this country, so naturally he cannot jump to conclusions.
