MTL - Age of Mysticism-Chapter 480 fallen angels

  Chapter 480 Fallen Angels

  Nightingale accepted Luke's employment. After the three of them had enough food and drink, they made some purchases at the Burnt Wood camp before riding a camel and leading the pack animals.

   Luke's first destination was Sunshine City. Nightingale led the way consciously on a camel, leaving room for Luke and Quick Legs to talk.

  Quick Legs told Luke about the current situation in the West Territory.

  A large number of Sand Pirates changed their careers and became merchants. With the financial support of Raging Waves City, they formed a direct trading network between the barbarians in the western region and the empire. Although the aristocrats in the western region still control some goods transactions, they are far less nourished than they used to be middlemen.

  As Luke expected, the nobles of the Western Territory, whose income was greatly reduced, abolished part of the army. With the Moonlight King's Court on the side of the couch, the entire western region is generally stable.

  Of course, when progressive forces promote social development, there must be reactionary forces.

   "Calamity is extremely active now. I heard that a group of nobles have formed cooperation with Calamity, and also established an organization called 'Remaining Grudge', with the ultimate goal of destroying the world tree.

  The Demon Hunt Squad has fought against 'Remaining Grudge' many times, and the opponent has not only not been weakened, but has become stronger and stronger. "

  Luke said: "Behind the 'Remaining Grudge' organization is the Temple of the Abyss, and together with a group of Western nobles and disasters, the potential strength must be very strong.

  I got information that Victor, the first apostle of the Temple of the Abyss, has arrived in the west and is very likely to attack the World Tree. My main purpose of coming to the Western Territory this time is to solve this problem. "

   Kuaileg suddenly realized: "No wonder the 'Remaining Grudge' has developed so fast, making the Demon Hunt Squad somewhat overwhelmed. My lord is going to deal with 'Remaining Grudge', where are you planning to start?"

  Luke stretched out his hand to cover the light in his eyes, and looked towards the undulating sand dunes ahead. The nightingale was about 300 meters ahead, and the footprints of a camel were behind him.

   "Go to Sunshine City first to inquire about the news of 'Remaining Grudge', is Mevesman in Sunshine City?"

  Quickly replied: "After receiving your message, I will send someone to contact Mavesman. She should be waiting for you in Sunshine City."

   "Yeah!" Luke nodded, and asked again: "Is there anything else special happening?"

   Kuaileg thought for a while, and said: "There is another strange thing that has not been confirmed. It is a bit like a strange story, but there are many witnesses."

  Luke asked casually: "What strange thing?"

"Some people saw a large group of black swans flying through the sky, some said they were black vulture eagles, and some said they were people with black wings. They hovered over a desert for about a month. It seems to have lost its way, and it suddenly disappeared not long ago."

  Luke became interested: "The one with the black wings?"

Quick Legs smiled and said: "Aren't people with black wings fallen angels? But since the end of the ancient war, there have been no traces of fallen angels. And if they are fallen angels, they shouldn't be lost in the desert for a month." .

   Perhaps it really was a flock of black swans, or a large eagle eagle.

  I have sent someone to investigate, but I am afraid it will be difficult to find an answer. "

  Luke knew of some fallen angels who lived to the end of the ancient war. But the end of the war meant that they lost the chance to recapture Sky City. At the same time the war ended, the fallen angels became outsiders rejected by the demons in hell, so the fallen angels hid in the depths of hell.

  The demons of **** are in a mess, even if they want to attack World Tree, they can't organize the corresponding force. But the fallen angels are different. They lost their homes and depended on others. They are extremely united. If the fallen angels also join in, the level of this crisis will be raised to another level.

  Luke said to Kuaileg: "The swan has a strong sense of direction and will not wander in the desert without water for a month. Large eagle eagles have a sense of territory and will not come and go in groups.

  Send more people to look for witnesses and find out what those things are. "

   "Yes, my lord." Quick Legs asked, "Are those really fallen angels?"

   "I haven't seen it, so I can't be sure. But if those are really fallen angels, they will definitely use the World Tree to stir up trouble, so as to rekindle the ancient war that did not tell the winner."

   If there is anyone who does not want the ancient war to end, it must be the fallen angels, but they cannot stop the end of the war. For thousands of years, the five ancient civilizations have retreated from the world, and they have no chance to provoke the war again.

  Now...the time has come!

  In order to compete for the quasi-artifact of the World Tree, five ancient civilizations will gather in the Moonlight Royal Court, which is definitely the best time to rekindle the flames of war.

  Luke considered the changes in the strength of the enemy and the enemy that would be brought about by the appearance of the fallen angels, and at the same time notified the clear sky that had arrived at the Moonlight King's Court, and used the spread perception of the world tree to find the traces of the fallen angels.

  The three continued on their way in the desert.

   At this time, at the edge of the grassland of the ancestors, a caravan of camels was marching in a line.

  The leader of the camel team was an old man with a gray beard, and a young man who was also a fallen angel, Garland, was accompanying him.

  The other fallen angels were flying high in the sky, slowly following the camel team.

After officially stepping into the grassland from the Gobi Desert, the leader of the camel team said to Garland: "I will send you here. This grassland is the grassland of the ancestors, and the Moonlight King's Court is in the center of the grassland. There are many barbarian herdsmen on the grassland. You can always ask them for directions."

  Garland did not let go of the camel team: "I asked you to take us to the Moonlight King's Court, but I didn't say that we were only taken to the grassland of the ancestors. Go on, and you can leave when you see the World Tree..."

  Garland didn't finish his sentence, and instantly straightened his back in vigilance, looking ahead with sharp eyes.

  About ten meters ahead, a black shadow rose from the ground. Even with the scorching sun shining, the shadows are still as black as thick ink.

   Soon the shadows gathered into a person wearing a black smock, and the shadow under the hood was like a black hole.

  Garland asked: "Who are you? Why are you blocking us?"

"My name is Victor, the first apostle of the Abyss Temple, and the most loyal follower of the Abyss." It was Victor who blocked Garland. People Grassland, don’t you look down on World Tree too much?”

  Garland smiled, with murderous intent on his face: "You know we are fallen angels, and you have the guts to stop us?"

   "I just remind you in good faith. The current World Tree is not the World Tree you know. The previous World Tree gave authority to an elf. The World Tree you are about to face is not a harmless thing.

   If you enter the grassland of the ancestors without concealment like you, you will soon be discovered by the World Tree, and then... the angels in the Temple of the Moonlight King's Court should be very willing to hunt you down. "

  Garland realized that he was indeed somewhat careless.

   "Thank you very much for your kind reminder, we will make a disguise immediately. If there is nothing else, you can die."

  A fallen angel suddenly appeared behind Victor, sweeping with a sword burning with black flames.

  Victor didn't dodge, but said, "Don't you want to know how I found you?"

  The black sword stopped at Victor's waist.

   Garland waved his hand, and the fallen angel behind Victor disappeared into burning ashes.

   "Thank you for reminding me, I really forgot to ask this question." Garland asked politely when the attack just now didn't happen at all, "How did you find us?"

  Victor replied: "I didn't find you, but another great existence. His name is Disaster, and a power appeared with the recovery of the World Tree, and the destruction of the World Tree was the only basis for his existence.

  Disaster found you and asked me to wait here. "

   "Disaster?" Garland heard the name for the first time, and he asked, "What does it have to do with us if Disaster wants to destroy the World Tree?"

   "Then why do you have so many fallen angels here? Calamity is about to launch a war against the Moonlight Royal Court. In the chaos, you can do whatever you want."

   Destroy the world tree!

   This was originally the purpose of the fallen angels going to the Moonlight Royal Court. It is the best result to restart the ancient war, and at the very least it can prevent the angels from obtaining new artifacts.

   It's all due to the incompetence of the **** demons. The angels and Shuojin people have already set up strongholds next to the World Tree, and the demons can't even organize a decent army. It's not as good as the Shadow Clan, they have successfully assassinated a Shuojin elder.

  Garland didn't know if the other party knew about the World Tree and the artifact, so he didn't disclose this information.

   "This is a good suggestion. Where is the disaster you mentioned?"

   "He's in Sunshine City now."

   "Take us to Sunshine City."

  Victor saluted: "This is my honor."

   When the leader of the camel team saw that the plague gods could finally be sent away, he immediately said, "Master Garland, since you are not going to the Moonlight Court, let's part now."

  Garland said with a smile: "I changed my mind, you can only keep the secret when you are dead."

   Before the leader of the camel caravan could react, a fallen angel appeared behind him. The black flame sword swept across, the leader was cut from the waist, the body was wrapped in black flames, and burned to ashes in an instant.

  The rest of the camel team had the same experience, all of them were attacked and killed by the fallen angels.

   After finishing the extermination, Garland said to Victor again: "Let's go, go to the Sunshine City you mentioned to see the so-called disaster."

   "Please follow me."

  Victor turned into a black shadow, and then merged into a crow, flapping its wings and soaring into the sky.

   Garland laughed: "Finally I can fly."

  He lifted off the hood, stretched out the black wings, flapped the wings lightly, and left his hunchback and rushed up to the sky.

  The other fallen angels chased after Garland who was far away.

   Only the camels and pack animals were left unaware of what had happened.

   Moonlight Royal Court.

  The crown of the World Tree is like a canopy, covering the entire ring-shaped Moon Mountain in its own shade. There is no darkness under the canopy because the sun is blocked, because every leaf on the World Tree emits a shimmer, and the leaves sway with the wind, and the light twinkles like stars in the sky.

   Some light spots sprinkled from the crown of the world tree, forming a rainbow that can be seen from any angle.

   Moon Lake under the tree, the water surface is as calm as a mirror. Qing Kong stood on the water, facing the World Tree and meditating with closed eyes.

  In the spiritual starry sky, Luke and Clear Sky looked at this miraculous giant tree.

   Above the starry sky, the sun pointed out by Luke is bigger and brighter, so that the moon is no longer the only protagonist in the starry sky.

  Luke said: "I have a sense of crisis in my heart. The World Tree may encounter a large-scale attack. The opponents not only have disasters, but also the Temple of the Abyss, plus the fallen angels."

The corner of Qingkong’s mouth was always smiling. Regarding Luke’s worries, she replied: “Big trees will inevitably experience wind and rain, either destroyed by the wind and rain, or continue to grow after the wind and rain. Listen, the World Tree is very happy with your arrival. I am very happy that now it is not only protected by the moon, but also illuminated by the sun."

  Luke asked: "If our existing power can't stop this attack, can the starry sky protect the World Tree?"

   "The starry sky never shelters anything. It is the source of order. Birth and death are in order. The power to protect the World Tree is in your hands. You are responsible for protecting the World Tree, and I am responsible for protecting you."

  Luke asked again: "The Temple of the Abyss believes that the abyss has given the power of theocracy to the catastrophe. Is this true?"

   "The divine right is granted by both the starry sky and the abyss, but the divine right has different tendencies."

   Clear Sky has given the answer.

  Luke thought of something and couldn't help but smiled and said, "How come the starry sky and the abyss are so similar to the yin and yang I know."

  Clear Sky has part of Luke’s memory, so he couldn’t help laughing when he heard this metaphor: “When you say it, it’s really similar. This is the same goal by different routes. If you extend it, we are also quite similar.”

  Luke suddenly felt a little headache, as if something was awakened in his mind, and there were still many insights that he wanted to catch but couldn't. He tried his best to think about the pain he endured, but there was no gain until the headache was over, and the awakened thing fell asleep again.

   Taking a deep breath, Luke sighed and said: "I understand why you keep so many secrets now, some things are really not what I should know now.

  I’d better be the ordinary me first and do the ordinary things.

  Have the group of fallen angels been found? "

  Qingkong smiled and replied: "World Tree found them. But just as they reached the edge of the ancestors' grassland, they were taken away by a cloud of abyssal energy. They should have gone looking for disaster."

  The last thing I wanted to see happened.

  Luke said to Clear Sky: "Call the moonlight knights to prepare to defend the world tree, speed up the training of treants, and let the ancient treants from all over the grassland of the ancestors move to the royal court.

  Notify the angels and the Shuojin people that a group of fallen angels have come out from the depths of hell, and they want to destroy the new World Tree.

  …”

  Luke quickly said the countermeasures and mobilized the forces to defend the World Tree.

   But Qingkong said lazily: "I agreed that I will only be in charge of fighting, and you will do all the dealing with people. The body has already been given to you...

   Theresia is here, and she is handed over to you. This angel is like a dog skin plaster. If I had known that she was so difficult, I would not have provoked her. "

   After finishing speaking, Qingkong pushed Luke.

   Open your eyes to the meditative clear sky on Moon Lake.

Beside   , Teresia slowly flapped her wings and landed on the lake, causing ripples under her feet.
