"Digimon 04" Like Water and Clear Song

Chapter 27: The Castle in the Forest

"Finally here, the end of the forest."

The wooden signs erected near the railroad tracks are already showing signs of age.Qin Hui leaned down slightly to check the writing on the wooden sign.Soaked in the dense fog, the lonely wooden board is soaked in a slight tide, and the positions where Chinese characters and pseudonyms are written also have traces of brush strokes fading.This should be true, right?This place may be the end of their journey.And this also means that they may soon meet the female voice who guides them, the holy female beast.

Kotoe clearly heard the sound of Takuya swallowing uneasily who was standing not far from her.It seemed she wasn't the only one feeling excited or nervous.This emotion should have nothing to do with the pretentious warning of the gorgeous beast before. If I use the most direct and simple metaphor to describe it, it should be the excited emotion before arriving at the city where the game boss lives.

Although the warning given by the gorgeous beast is indeed hard to ignore.As the saying goes, it is groundless, the gorgeous beast will say such words, it must have heard some rumors.However, all of them have always regarded the "forest terminal" as the ultimate goal, and it is impossible to shake their determination based on the words of the gorgeous beast.Thinking about it from another angle, it is very likely that they were just retaliated because they really couldn't swallow the hand-made soba noodles that Magnificent Beast was "proud of".

"Let's go." Tuoya said, turning around and looking around at the crowd.

Now that you've come this far, wouldn't it be too bad to back off.

As the crowd moved forward, wooden platforms appeared before their eyes.It's just that the area around the platform is empty and deserted, and there are no traces of other Digimon.Even the platform itself seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, as if it was isolated in another world by the thick fog that didn't know when it would dissipate.

Several people scattered to search for traces of Digimon, but found nothing.

"How about we go up and take a look?" Youshu pointed to the huge tree at the end of the passage.The tree has a thick trunk and dense branches and leaves, and because of the thick fog that hinders the line of sight, it is impossible to estimate the height of the tree.

There is no other way forward, so everyone agrees with Yuki's decision.

When the children walked into the tree pole, they found that there was something different.The stairs wind up in a spiral shape, and the material is also made of wood, as if they are integrated with the whole tree.After walking for about 5 minutes, this section of stairs finally came to an end.Walking out of the tree pole along the only route, the branches under the feet are also built in the shape of steps to facilitate the passage of others.The only hindrance was the mist that filled the surrounding area, and the visibility was so low that everyone could only see a distance of about five meters in front of them.

After walking for a while, Takuya and Kouji who were walking in front suddenly stopped.After a closer look, it turned out that the branches in front of them had diverged. "Which way should I go?" Takuya looked around, both sides looked the same, they had no clue as to the right way.

Suddenly, the Tyrannosaurus machine in Youshu's pocket reacted.The screen casts a projection of a nearby map, suggesting they are headed in the right direction. "This way!" You Shu pointed to the relatively narrow fork on the right and said to everyone.

Believing the prompt of the armed tyrannosaurus machine, everyone continued to move forward.Not long after, the second difficulty appeared. "Ah? There's no way!" Several clumps of branches just blocked their way forward.

Koizumi hesitated and asked, "Could it be that the other way is the right one?"

Before Koizumi could finish his sentence, the armed Tyrannosaurus, which Junpei had been holding in his hand all this time, reacted.A burst of dark blue light flashed, and Junpei's hand seemed to be drawn to direct the light at the roadblock in front of him, while those obstructing branches moved slowly, making way for everyone to move forward.

The further they walked, the thicker the fog became, and it was almost impossible to see the steps under their feet. Everyone even thought that they were walking through the milk and were about to get lost in the fog. "I really can't see anything like this." Qin Hui couldn't help muttering in a low voice.

In response to Kotoe's whisper, Koizumi's Armored Tyrannosaurus - which was already expected - emitted a strong pink-purple light.At the same time, a cool breeze quietly wiped away the surrounding dense fog, showing everyone the true appearance of a forest terminal hiding behind the fog.

At the end of the steps of the branches is a castle that seems to be made of crystal.The smooth exterior walls shone with dazzling seven-color brilliance under the sunlight. "It's so beautiful..." Qin Hui couldn't help but sighed.The crystal clear texture and elegant and unique appearance, besides "beautiful", she can't think of other adjectives to describe the scene in front of her.

Kotoe couldn't help but cast a glance at Koizumi, Junpei and Yuki who were walking in front of her.The situation along the way is all in the dark.It seems that they have reached a dead end, but in the end their armed Tyrannosaurus machines will help them point in the right direction.All of this is probably arranged by the holy goddess beast.She arranged the door locks with her own hands, and gave them the keys to unlock them.

However, since the holy celestial beasts have set up so many difficulties along the way, just to protect this castle, does this castle have any power that can defeat Cherubimon?Qin Hui's hand rested on her pocket, and she couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind.Could it be that the power that really belongs to her is in this castle, and the badge of light is the key to unlock this power? !

Such an exciting idea made Kotoe extremely excited at the beginning.But she calmed down quickly afterwards.The power that belongs to her, what other power belongs to her?Cherubimon has already told her all about the power of the Ten Warriors, is there any power other than the Ten Warriors... Don't be silly, she is not a heroine in a comic, she will have such a good luck.

She shook her head dejectedly.When I came back, I found that they had reached the end of the platform.Junpei was walking forward and pushing the two gates outside the castle.However, the two doors fit tightly together and did not move at all.

Whose armed Tyrannosaurus machine should be able to open this door next?Kotoe thought so, and saw a silver-white light flashing in Kouji's direction, and the door that was originally tightly fitted was automatically opened for everyone, welcoming them into the courtyard.

"Is this what it means to let us in?" Takuya hesitated.

"I don't know who is inside..." Having reached this point, Junpei became more and more curious about the true face of the castle owner.

"Maybe the voice calling us is inside," Koizumi guessed curiously, "Maybe there is the Sleeping Beauty from fairy tales in the castle in the forest!"

"By the way..." Koizumi's words reminded Kotoe, but before she could express her thoughts, Takuya had already stepped forward and knocked on the door with the door knocker, which was also made of crystal.After two crisp beeps, they didn't get any response. "It seems that there is no one." You Shu looked around uneasily.

"What is there in such a place?" Takuya suddenly lowered his head, and the crimson light emitted by the armed Tyrannosaurus attracted his attention.At the same time, the final door was slowly opened to everyone.

It's just that before everyone recovered, a staff with a hexagonal snowflake decoration on the head was stretched out in front of Takuya. "Who are you?" The visitor asked the crowd full of hostility.Upon closer inspection, the residents of the castle turned out to be the wizard beast they met in the candle beast village!However, the relationship between this "wizard beast" and the wizard beast in Candle Beast Village should be the same as that between the wild beast and the shaman beast, because its robe is silver and bright white, and the shape of the staff is completely different.

"Is this guy an enemy?" Takuya stood in front of everyone, holding the armed Tyrannosaurus tightly.

"Children of humans?" The "Wizard Beast" was a little puzzled, but it still did not let go of its guard, "Aren't you the subordinates of the Cherubimus?"

"That's not it!" Koizumi was a little dissatisfied with the attitude of "Wizard Beast".

"If you can warn Cherubimon's subordinates, then they should not be enemies." Kouji stepped forward and deduced.

After hearing Kouji's words, "Wizard Beast" put down his staff: "Why do human children come to this place?" His tone was still full of doubts, "And they were able to find this castle..."

At this moment, Qin Hui suddenly sensed something, and she looked down at her pocket.There seemed to be a faint pink glow peeking out from her bag through the slit of the zipper.She took out the Armed Tyrannosaurus Rex Machine to take a look, and found that the Bright Badge that had been stored in the machine had actually lit up.

"Because there is a voice calling us constantly, leading us here..."

"We came here on the order of the sacred goddess beast." Kotoe decisively interrupted Takuya, and stepped forward a few steps.

"Holy goddess beast?" "Wizard Beast" squinted his eyes and looked at Kotoe.

Qin Hui ignored the bewildered expressions of everyone behind her. She pressed the button on the armed tyrannosaurus machine to project the projection of the bright emblem on the screen, and said indifferently: "If you don't believe it, this is the evidence."

When seeing the pink octagon figure clearly, the "wizard beast" widened its eyes in surprise.Then it bowed down to everyone and saluted respectfully: "Guests, I was really rude just now. I am an ice wizard beast. Come, everyone, please go this way."

Qin Hui didn't hesitate, and immediately followed in the footsteps of the ice wizard beast. "Wait, Kotoe!" Takuya suddenly grabbed Kotoe's elbow, and pulled her back who had already walked a few steps. "What's going on? Can we trust it? Who is the sacred goddess beast?" Not only him, but the rest of them also looked at a loss.

"Eh? Didn't I explain it to you?" Kotoe glanced at Pogomon at first glance.Seeing that the little white Digimon took out the green-covered encyclopedia again, after flipping through a few pages, Pogomon exclaimed: "Oh! Didn't I tell you guys a long time ago? The holy goddess beast is the owner of the emblem of light!"

"So, I really think I did say it..." Takuya rubbed his cheek and searched in his memory.

"Guests, what happened?" On the other side, the ice wizard beast had already reached the center of the crystal hall.It recovered its senses and looked at the people still standing around the pogo beast at the door, and asked suspiciously.

"Anyway, let's talk as we go."

"I remember I told you when I was in TV Forest," Koto explained to everyone in a low voice following behind the Ice Wizard Beast. She didn't expect that the rest of the people knew nothing about the three angel Digimons now. Knowing that, she was a little worried that the ice wizard beast would have unnecessary doubts because of this, "When I met Cherubimon, he told me: 'The three angel Digimon are in charge of the fighting spirit of the ten fighters', and These three angel Digimon are Ultimate Angelmon, Holy Angelmon and Cherubimon."

"After the ten warriors defeated the six-winged beast, it was the three angel Digimon who took on the task of managing and protecting the Digimon world." Bogomon's head was buried in the page, adding to Kotoe's explanation.

Several people were thoughtful, because they were all focused on the matter of "Kotoe couldn't find her own fighter spirit" at the time, so they ignored this message.

"It is true that such a thing was mentioned at that time." Kouji said, "You also told us that the fighter spirits obtained by the five of us are the fighter spirits possessed by Sacred Angelmon and Ultimate Angelmon respectively, which means that In this battle of Digimon, we are on the side of Holy Maimon and Ultimate Angemon."

"Yes, I think, I'm afraid to call us... No, it should be said that the person who sent the mobile phone email in the human world should be one of them." Kotoe guessed.

"Then, maybe the one in this castle is probably one of the ultimate angel beast or the holy goddess beast?" Following Kotoe's train of thought, Koizumi continued to guess, "It's still possible, just to guide us The voice that came?"

"Ah, why do you have to do such a troublesome thing? Wouldn't it be better to just leave the fighter spirit to us?" Junpei couldn't help muttering, "We have suffered a lot along the way!"

"Maybe it's not 'won't', but 'can't'." It was Kouji who answered Junpei, "If they lose their power, are imprisoned and lose their freedom, or fall into a coma and cannot rely on If you are in a state where your own strength is awakened, then all this makes sense."

Listening to Kouji's explanation, Kotoe couldn't help but look down at the bright badge floating outside the screen again.She agrees with Kouji's answer, otherwise, how could even the "power that originally belonged to me" have to rely on "other people's hands" to obtain it?

Coupled with the tight protection around the castle, if they did not have the guidance of the light of the armed Tyrannosaurus machine, they would not be able to walk in front of this castle at all. It should be set up before these two angels fell into a state of losing their freedom. Protect.As for what they want to protect, that is unknown.The only thing Kotoe can be sure of is that the person who sets up the protection needs the power of the badge of light.If this is the case, is it possible that the person who has been in contact with them through the armed tyrannosaurus machine is the holy goddess who is trapped in this crystal castle and wants to regain her own power?

"So, Bogomon, I remember you said that the emblem of light is the power of the holy maiden, right? So the ultimate angelmon and cherubimon also have their own emblems?" Yuki suddenly remembered an unimportant The problem.

"It's hope." Bogomon turned the pages of his book, "The badge of hope represents the power of the ultimate angel beast."

hope?Bogomon's words reminded Kotoe of a clue again.When leaving the underground ruins, in a half-dream and half-awake state, she heard the voice: "Let the light awaken the sleeping hope," she repeated in a low voice, similar to the prophetic sentence at that time, "Let hope guide you, to find the help your strength."

"Could it be..." She couldn't help muttering.Does Holy Angelmon want to help her find her warrior spirit through the power of Ultimate Angelmon's Hope Badge?Thinking of this possibility, she couldn't help showing excitement on her face.

"Ice Wizard Beast," she asked tremblingly, who had been silent since just now, "is the person in this castle the ultimate Angel Beast?"

The ice wizard beast turned its head and glanced at Kotoe meaningfully.Kotoe met its gaze without hesitation.Finally, the Ice Wizard sighed a long sigh: "What this young lady said is absolutely right." It glanced at the people who were already familiar with the situation, "This is it." Snowflake Staff Shining brightly, the mirror at the end of the corridor on the top floor turned into a secret door, slowly opening in front of everyone.

"This is the Ultimate Angelmon-sama."
