- Chapter 572 - Prepare to burn the seal tree
In front of the Seal Tree.
Li You and Ampah gathered around the altar here, looking at the dry tree.
From the outside, the Sealed Tree is unremarkable. It is just a dead tree with no leaves, twisted branches, and a large number of twigs.
However, this dead tree growing on the cliff at the end of the ancient ruins of Laufu has its back to the lower outer wall of the spiral tower, and upwards is the tower shrouded in shadow.
If you look closely, you can find that there are more branches that are also in the form of shadows extending from the seal tree and disappearing in the void.
“This is the tree of sealing.”
Ampach has consciously taken on the job of an intelligence agent and explained: “This tree maintains the existence of the shadow seal. As long as it is burned, the seal of the Spiral Tower will be unlocked.”
Li You also nodded, looked at the spiral tower in the sky behind him, thought for a moment, and then asked, “Have you found any trace of Leda?”
Ampah turned his head and looked under the altar, where Naitan, who had come to deliver the message before, was waiting there. Hearing this, he shook his head.
Although Carla was temporarily captured during the previous battle at Flower Bud Church, Leda was allowed to escape, which was a little more uncertain. Moreover, what Carla said about Leda being the key also made Li You feel strange.
In this situation, what can Leda do?
It’s a pity that even Ampah has no idea about this.
Of course, Li You thought about asking Kara directly, but unfortunately she had not woken up since the charm was lifted, and she still had not regained consciousness at this time. So Li You could only let Aiji take care of her first, and then think about what to do.
Therefore, interpreting the nature of Kara’s last message now becomes a guessing game. Even Li You, who knows her well, is not sure what she means.
At this time, a pale golden light suddenly appeared next to him, and Melina’s figure condensed out. She looked at Li You: “Do you have an idea?”
Li You shook his head helplessly.
“Kara’s words were too vague, and it’s hard to judge whether they were true or false. One wrong move and I might fall into her trap. I really can’t make up my mind… If I could wait until she wakes up and ask Just understand.”
Melina said: “If you hope so… But, as I said before, her mental trauma is very serious and she must sleep and recuperate, and it will take a long time. If…”
“…If you forcefully wake him up, it may cause serious consequences, I remember.” Li You pressed his forehead, “That’s why I have a headache.”
He looked at Melina and Ampach again, and said: “The problem now is that we are not sure of the credibility of Kara’s words. Including her last words, which were also said at the moment before the charm was lifted, Not sure if it’s true or false.”
“If it’s true, it means that Michaela is planning something deeper. Even Ampach doesn’t know about it. If we wait any longer, something might go wrong.
“On the other hand, if she is lying to us, then acting hastily will give them an opportunity… It’s really troublesome.”
Melina did not speak, but Ampah bowed her head and apologized: “I’m very sorry. If I could have stopped Ms. Leda at that time…”
“No, it’s okay. No one thought that Leda still had that kind of strange prop in her hand.” Li You shook his head, “In the final analysis, I chose to give priority to Kara, otherwise I could have stopped her.”
“Because of this, I have to clean up the trouble caused by me.”
After saying that, Li You thought for a moment and then made a decision: “You have recovered Mengge’s body, right? Are you sure it is correct?”
Ampach said: “There is no doubt that it is the sarcophagus containing the remains of our Lord Monger. Even Lord Mikaela’s seal is still on it, and the power of blood sleeping inside is by no means false.”
“…Really, that’s good.” Li You nodded, but then said, “But just in case, I hope that I can keep the sarcophagus temporarily. What do you think?”
Ampach didn’t think much about it and said, “No problem. After all, Ms. Leda has not been found yet. I think this is indeed safer, so I’ll trouble you.”
“Okay, thank you for your trust.” Li You was originally a little worried that Ampah misunderstood that he was threatening him, but it seemed that the veteran did not think that way. “When this matter comes to an end, I will take Meng Ge’s body.” Return it to you.”
Li You said, but then he remembered something: “By the way, the person who defeated Mengge…”
“It’s Ms. Kara, are you worried about this?”
Ampah immediately guessed what Li You was going to say, and then said: “You don’t have to hold grudges, I know everything. Rather, I had already made a guess before the charm was lifted. Among us, There is only one person who can defeat Master Meng.”
“Don’t worry, I have no intention of making any accusations. Facing a challenger is the fate faced by those who aspire to be king. And the defeat of one party is only the inevitable process of becoming a king and losing a bandit.
“What’s more, I forgot everything because of the charm, and I have no position to accuse.
“So, I will not resent Ms. Kara, nor will I be hostile to you. Even if Lord Meng’s body has been taken back, I will help you win in the next battle against Lord Mikaela… with my Swear on blood.”
Li You was a little moved when he heard this. He looked at Ampach and couldn’t help but sigh: “You are really admirable. No wonder Leda and the others trusted you so much before. I am even a little curious about your past.”
Ampah just smiled: “It’s just some boring battlefield fighting. Compared with those, have you made a decision about the next action?”
Li You nodded slightly: “I thought about it. Although there must be a trap hidden in Kara’s words, sitting here and waiting is not a problem. So, I decided to light the seal tree and enter the spiral tower.”
“…Well, let’s wait until we make the final preparations before we start.”
Ampah stroked his beard: “As expected of you… I also agree with this battle. Instead of hesitating, sometimes an all-out attack is also a way.”
Melina would not comment on any of this, but said: “With the current flame of that sword, it can indeed ignite the sealing tree.”
“very good!”
Next comes the final preparations. The most important thing is to wait for Mengge’s sarcophagus to be transported, and secondly, it is the “prisoners” from the previous battle.
Melina’s figure disappeared again, and Li You and Ampach walked down the altar and returned to the Flower Bud Church. In the corner here, Aiji simply laid out two simple hospital beds for the sick and wounded to lie down and rest.
One of them is, of course, Kara. She is now unconscious and unresponsive to the outside world, but she will struggle from time to time in her sleep.
Just in case, Li You had to ask V, who volunteered, to help watch her to ensure that Kara could suppress the situation if something strange happened.
As for the person lying on the other bed, it was Freya the red lion.
Yes, unlike Dane, she didn’t actually die, but she was also seriously injured. Out of his affection for the Red Lion Army, Li You temporarily rescued her, but also took away all her equipment.
Freya, who had taken off her armor and hooded helmet, still looked like a strong warrior, with a broad face and many old and new scars on her body.
Aggie also took charge of her care, and V also monitored her.
Freya’s condition is obviously much better than Kara’s. After resting for a while, her condition has stabilized.
Ampah walked up to Freya, intending to simply check on her condition. Unexpectedly, Freya suddenly opened her eyes and reached out to grab his neck!
Ampah did not hesitate at all. He took two steps back with vigorous steps and elegant posture, avoiding Freya’s grasp. She still wanted to make a move, but V had quickly moved behind her and reached out to strangle the back of her neck.
“Don’t move.”
Freya naturally refused to obey, and immediately punched her behind with a wave of his hand. V grabbed her wrist, then twisted it with his backhand, and pinned her down on the bed.
“Ugh…!! You guy!”
“Freya, you still refuse to admit defeat.” Ampah said, “But now is not the time to fall out. With your current situation, no one here can beat you.”
“So what?” Freya was held down by V, but she still struggled hard. “I will never show weakness to the enemy and ask for mercy!”
She then looked at Li You next to Ampah: “What do you mean by saving me? Do you want to pity me? I don’t need it! Since you lose, it’s just death!”
Li You looked at her, a little curious: “Has your charm not been lifted? Why are you so loyal to Mikaela even though you are a red lion?” Freya was quiet for a moment, and then said: “…I am not I followed Lady Michaela because I was charmed.”
“That Lord is an extremely gentle God. When I was in Ionia, I was seriously poisoned and was already waiting to die. But at that moment, Lord Michaela discovered me and wanted to save me. Me, he actually sucked the poison out of the wound on my forehead himself.
“Ms. Michaela’s gentleness saved me, so this wound is the guidance given to me. I came here out of my own will!”
After Li You heard her story, he didn’t have much fluctuation. It was just a short story to support Mikayla’s gentle character. He had seen a lot of similar things.
“But it’s very interesting. From the big things like planting the sacred tree to the details like saving Freya, they are all in line with Michaela’s earliest character. Then why did he decide to abandon everything and go What about pursuing the realm of God?”
Li You was a little curious. When Michaela first studied the Golden Law, it was actually to cure her sister Marlenia’s corruption disease, but she encountered setbacks and chose to give up.
And now, he has abandoned everything and came to this shadow land to become a god. What is his real purpose?
“There must be some big conspiracy, right?”
Li You suddenly became excited. Michaela, who had been pretending to be herself, finally abandoned everything to pursue something. What was it that he wanted? The answer to this question made him very curious.
“Let me reveal this shocking secret…after settling the score with Michaela.”
After pursuing a little more than the original goal, Li You looked at Freya. She still did not give up her struggle and stared at everyone with firm eyes.
Li You then clapped his hands: “As expected of a red lion!”
“I understand. You don’t want to be favored by the enemy, so you refuse our help. Even if I say let you go, you will only want to fight for me, right?”
Freya didn’t answer, but her eyes said it all.
“For Red Lion, he would rather die on the battlefield.” Li You nodded and said, “In that case, let’s do it.”
He signaled V to let Freya go, picked up her large curved sword on the ground and handed it to her: “I saved you before because you were powerless to resist. Since you are eager to fight, then face the last moment in the battle.”
“… Just like General Ratan, the so-called honorable death?”
Freya quickly reacted and grinned: “Hehe, you have the same idea as old man Jellian, but I don’t think so!”
“General Ratan is more suitable for fighting. Compared with an ending full of honor, endless battles and hot , is General Ratan, is a lion! “
She said, using all her strength to climb up and snatch her knife: “So, I don’t want to die, I want to fight, to win, and then dedicate the victory to Lord Michaela and General Ratan!”
Freya pointed to Ampah: “Ampah, please teach me!”
Ampah was not moved: “You chose me as your opponent… Well, after all, he is your previous companion, and I am the most suitable.”
He waved his hand, and Naitan in the distance came up and handed over his longbow. And Freya had come to the middle of the church, standing with a knife.
Seeing Ampah approaching with a bow, Freya spoke again: “Don’t let me go… In addition to the bow, I also want to learn from your sickle!”
“… As you wish. “
Ampah did not refuse, put away the longbow, and took out a slender sickle that shone with an obsidian luster from somewhere, and held it in his hand.
“To show my respect, I will not show mercy.”
Freya laughed loudly: “Just what I want!”
As she said that, she drew out her scimitar and rushed towards Ampah with a roar!
However, everyone present could see that Freya was already at the end of her strength. She was seriously injured and it was difficult for her to even stand still, let alone swing the heavy scimitar to attack.
But even so, she chose to join the battle.
Ampah naturally understood Freya’s determination, so as he said, he did not intend to let her go.
Facing Freya’s somewhat stumbling sprint, he raised the sickle, and the blood power given by Monger began to surge in his body.
The next moment, when Freya rushed in front of him and chopped him down with a knife, Ampah quickly turned around, and with an extremely elegant back flash, he easily avoided Freya’s attack, and raised the sickle in his hand high!
The next moment, he rushed forward again, the thin and sharp blade brought blood flames, gracefully like dancing, slashing down swiftly!
“Shua shua shua——”
The continuous sound of breaking wind sounded, and Ampah’s sickle passed through Freya’s body at a very fast speed, and the combo swirled and fell like the wind!
Freya’s whole body suddenly froze, and Ampah flashed past her and said in a deep voice: “… Then, Freya.”
“Is the Red Lion satisfied with my sickle?”
Freya seemed to be called back to her senses by this sentence. She moved, and blood spurted out from her body like a spring!
In the spray of blood, Freya fell heavily, and the big curved knife also fell to the side.
But she still had the strength to breathe, and said in a voice mixed with the sound of bleeding: “Sure enough… Not bad! This battle is very hot…”
As she spoke, her eyes gradually lost their spirit.
Ampah put away his sickle and bowed slightly to the fallen Freya.
“Goodbye, hero of the Red Lion Army.”
…
At the same time, outside the Tower Town, the abandoned town at the end of the cliff road looked out over the town.
Huliye and two other people who were obviously from the Blood Dynasty were setting up a teleportation array. And in the center of the teleportation array, of course, was the sarcophagus with Michaela’s seal attached.
No one had ever moved the sarcophagus. Not only was Michaela’s seal as strong as ever, but even Monger’s own weapon, the Mongwen Holy Spear, was still embedded in the sarcophagus, and no one dared to touch it.
The purpose of this teleportation array was to send the sarcophagus to Li You. Monger’s body was extremely critical and could not go wrong, so there were more blood nobles on the periphery on guard.
However, until the teleportation array was finally set up, the crowd did not wait for the attack.
Looking at the completed magic circle, Xu Liye was obviously relieved: “Great, now everything is ready. Master Tolina, I will definitely stop Master Michaela…”
He confirmed with his companions from the Blood Dynasty again, and finally took a deep breath: “Ready to start!”
The teleportation magic circle lit up, and with the injection of magic power, the transfer was about to be completed, and the heavy sarcophagus could not help but tremble.
In the coffin, the bloated, fat, and hornless ugly body wrapped in the robe of the Blood King also trembled with the vibration of the sarcophagus.
The next moment, the teleportation magic circle suddenly flashed, and the sarcophagus disappeared from the spot.
-Soon, the Bud Church.
Li You, who received the goods on time, looked at the sarcophagus, and when he saw that Michaela’s seal was safe and sound, he did relax. After all, according to the time, Michaela had already entered the spiral tower.
So Li You transferred the sarcophagus directly to the companion space, then drew out the spiral sword and walked towards the sealed tree.
“——It’s time to make a fire.”
