source blood

At the same time, the holy city, the cathedral.

The bright sunlight illuminates the stained glass on the window brilliantly and colorfully, and each piece of glass shines with its own beautiful brilliance. The flames flow, and the cathedral is illuminated brilliantly and softly. It should be given to anyone who enters here as in the past. People take spiritual comfort.

But today is different.

A major event has happened in the dark world, which is enough to completely overturn the existing pattern.

The big thing is...

The pope sits under the icon in the cathedral.

He was gray-haired and old, and his figure was not tall. When he sat on the chair, the crown on his head was about to slip off his head, and the cloak on his body made him even more skinny.

When he opened his mouth, careful people can find that there is a black hole in his mouth near the big tooth, where a tooth is missing.

Even with a scepter in his hand, he looked like an extremely ordinary old man.

But none of the people in the church who were able to be in this cathedral dared to underestimate the Pope because of his appearance.People who used to do this are now sent to the frontier and become food for dark creatures—or on the road to becoming food for dark creatures.

The Pope is thinking.

He asked the crowd: "Mi Luo and the others are really dead?"

Bishop Purple came out to speak.He is the archbishop of the church, above all the cardinals: "We have received reliable news that these four people are indeed dead."

The pope said again: "The one who killed the first one, and the last three are the same group of people?"

Bishop Ziyi pondered: "There is no sufficient evidence for this point, but the four princes died so close to each other. I personally think that even if they are not the same group, they are still closely related."

The pope closed his eyes briefly.

One of the four princes died, and the strength of the church increased greatly.

But now, all four princes are dead, which is not very good news for the church.It is true that the Dark World was almost half destroyed in this battle, and the church has an absolute advantage, and can easily strangle the Dark World and complete the task of the Lord...

But don't forget.

The church and the dark world are evenly matched, and they are stuck with each other.

Those mysterious people can kill the four princes of the dark world, and of course they can kill the purple bishop of the church, destroy the holy knights of the church, and even assassinate me...

The problem of the dark world is not the main problem at this moment.

The main problem is that the mysterious people...

The Pope said in a deep voice while thinking: "First find out who they are... Don't startle the enemy, don't show hostility at will, find out the identity of the people who killed the four princes and what they want to do, and then report back to me. "

Having said that, the Pope finally opened his eyes, and he looked around at the crowd: "I say this, can you understand?"

Everyone said in unison: "We understand."

The Pope clasped his hands: "Very well, thank you for your hard work, and may the Lord bless us."

Everyone: "May the Lord bless us!"

The train stopped at the station.

The door of the carriage opened, and the passengers on this train stepped out of the car in single file.

As soon as he came out, the clear air rushed towards his face, the bright sun shone on the permafrost, and the slight warmth was mixed with the cold. Whenever someone opened his mouth to speak, clouds of white mist immediately appeared in front of his eyes.

After getting off the car, Xi Ge first stretched his body, then took Rhine's hand, left the crowd, and walked towards the mountains.

Among the mountains, the scenery is unique.

Xi Ge plans to take a two-person mountain tour with Rhine, look at the sky, look at the cliffs, and then look for hot springs in the mountains. One of his talents is to control the temperature. There is no natural hot spring, and it is not bad to make an artificial hot spring, um, just to relieve fatigue.

As for the "place where the mountains shine", I don't care anymore, the boss has been killed by him, even if the empty nest is really here, so what, I don't want to pay attention...

There is a north wind blowing in the sky, and in the north wind, there is a little bit of snow; the soles of the feet step on the rocks, and the ice is lightly covered on the rocks.

The two of them walked briskly among the mountains, looking up, the sky and the earth were all white and brilliant, the clouds and mist gathered on the top of the mountain gradually faded with the rising of the sun, and the golden light of the rising sun bloomed from the highest peak in the sky, thousands of auras, All over the mountains.

The sunlight shone on the faces of Xi Ge and Rhine.

Rhine blinked comfortably. From that day on, not only the taste, the heat, but even the sunlight no longer made him feel bored or sleepy.

This reminded him of when he was a child, when he was still young, he would hang out and play with his family in the forest. When he was tired from playing, he would lie on the lawn blown by the breeze, talking and laughing, soundly fall asleep...

The memory has been blurred, but the brilliance that shone into my heart at that time will not fade.

Even if many, many things happened later...

Rhine suddenly glanced at Xi Ge beside him.

Xi Ge was humming an unknown little tune, and the melodious tune spread far and wide in the mountains.

With a light force on his hand, he pulled himself closer to Xi Ge.

He remembered a sentence that the philosopher said.

In your long life, you will meet many people, most of these people are passers-by, come to your side in a hurry and leave in a hurry; there are some people who love and hate with you, but they will leave in the end Go; there are only one or two left, and no matter how many obstacles and divisions fate may place between you, you will return to each other at last.

He is your relative, lover, or just a friend.

But there is no doubt that he is the most important part of your life.

"Xi Ge," Rhine suddenly said, "Before going back, can you stay with me outside the abyss for a while?"

Xi Ge: "What?"

Rhine: "I want to show you around the world beyond the abyss. I want you to see the places I've passed by and the things I've experienced over the years..."

In the past, Rhine chased the footsteps of the departed, walked where he walked, and imagined what he experienced.Now, Rhine wants to hold the hand of the person who came back, walk where he walked, point to these places, and tell each other his own stories one by one.

"Also..." Rhine coughed softly, "We can take my castles around the world as a resting place, and while you are walking around the world, you can go to my house and take a look, and then we can go to the place you like , choose a new address, arrange a new house..."

Rhine felt that at that time, he would be obsessed with what kind of wallpaper to paste on the walls, what kind of carpet to lay on the floor... I don't know what kind of house he and Xi Ge will eventually live together, what kind of house will be decorated?

Xi Ge was moved by Rhine.

He easily heard the expectation in Rhine's words, and the strong emotion placed on the other's chest was hidden in the plain words and conveyed.

The corners of his mouth raised, and he pulled Rhine through the last section of the road to the top of the mountain.

On the top of the mountain, just as he was about to reply, there was a sudden "crash", and a handful of snow fell from the single tree on the top of the mountain. Immediately afterwards, a person in a dark red cloak fell from the tree.

All that Xi Ge wanted to say was interrupted by this sudden appearance of a figure.

The atmosphere at the scene was very quiet, the two parties looked at each other silently, only the sea of ​​clouds surged under their feet.

After a pause of about a few seconds, the dark red cloak suddenly turned around and jumped down the cliff.

At the same time as he jumped down, a circle of golden light suddenly lit up under the cliff. The golden light was shining like flowing water, flowing from the periphery of the circle to the center of the circle.

Light floods the circle.

The sun's rays were refracted into the mountains by the golden circle, and the sea of ​​clouds swayed endlessly under the circle.The rippling golden light is like sparkling waves, and the mirror suspended in the air is like a lake suspended in the air!

The dark red cloak that jumped off the cliff quietly entered the golden circle and disappeared.

At the same moment, high and low exclamations suddenly sounded from the mountain, blown by the wind, and faintly spread to the top of the mountain. They were shouting:

"The Lake of Miracles! The Lake of Miracles has appeared!"

On the top of the mountain, Xi Ge and Rhine quietly looked ahead.

Xi Ge was a little suffocated: "Pippi, do you think I was wrong, why did I see a vampire suddenly emerge from a tree, then turned around and jumped off the cliff, and finally jumped into a mirror in the sea of ​​clouds? "

Rhine: "You read that right."

Xi Ge: "I'm starting to worry."

Rhine: "What are you worried about?"

Xi Ge: "A person ran away, but a group of people came."

Rhine: "..."

Xi Ge was brooding, and said to himself: "By the way, they won't really come, right? If you disturb other people's relationship, you will be kicked. I don't want to see these people at all right now. I just want to be with you... "

Rhine found that what Xi Ge said hit all his inner thoughts, he thought carefully, and answered Xi Ge: "How about we take a detour?"

The Duke guarding the top of the hill rushed into Milo's fortress.

This huge fortress floating above the sea of ​​clouds is not as bright and bright as it looks on the outside. Vampires are vampires after all. Even Milo, who is gifted with the ability of mirror reflection, only places the light in the courtyard when he arranges the fortress. among.

The light outside is in stark contrast to the light inside, the light is brighter and the dark is darker.

The duke hurried through the dark passage and came to the core of the fortress, where the other four dukes stayed. They were all determined to resist the church and the Rhine!

He rushed into the center of the fortress, and he shouted: "It's not good, Rhine brought people here—"

The four people with their backs to him turned around immediately.

In the center of this fortress, there is a huge mirror.

This mirror is very similar to the appearance of this fortress, but at this moment, the golden mirror surface is stained red with blood, and traces of blood swim in the golden light, gathering more and more, which is extremely strange.

The leading duke rushed to ask: "What did you say? Rhine is here? Are you in the mountains now?"

The Duke who came quickly: "That's right, I just took a photo with them, and they are outside the fortress!"

The leading Duke suddenly laughed, and the wild laughter echoed in the center for a long time.

After a long while, he finally stopped, his smile was gone, only his face was grim:

"They came at the right time. The most powerful alchemy formation that the prince arranged when he built this fortress has already taken effect. At this moment, the barrier of blood will cover the mountains, and all life in the forest will be covered by this barrier. Drain the blood, their blood, will be the power source of this fort—"

There was a sudden thunder in the clear sky.

Xi Ge and Rhine, who originally decided to take a detour and ignore the dukes, stopped in their tracks.

They looked up at the sky, and at some point, a faint red appeared in the sky.

But red doesn't come from the sky, they come from...

The two turned back again.

They saw that the golden circle floating in the sea of ​​clouds was already covered with an ominous bloody light.
