MTL - Azeroth Shadow Trail-v2 Chapter 1889 17. Alone on the River Styx [Supplement]
Chapter 1889 17. Alone on the River Styx [Supplement]
River Styx, a real but invisible river.
It is said that it is a great river at the conceptual level that extends from the realm of death to the material world, connecting the concepts of life and death. It flows through every world with life, and only the dead are waiting for the angels of the shadow world. In the short time of coming, you can get a glimpse of the mystery of the Styx.
Now that the veil of life and death is still very stable, that river is the only road that allows the passage of creatures from the two worlds.
But anyone who knows the existence of the River Styx will not easily embark on this road, because although the River Styx connects the two worlds of life and death, the area where it flows through the kingdom of death is a more terrible place than the **** described by various myths and religions. .
Once you go upstream along the Styx, you will reach the Maw region of the Shadow Realm after crossing the Veil of Life and Death.
There is a place where all incurable souls are "exiled", and the souls that can fall into that area can no longer be described as heinous.
In the rules of the Shadow Realm, only those souls that cannot be saved, cannot be assimilated, cannot be used for any form of protection and battle, and do not even have the slightest redemption heart will be thrown into the maw.
That means that the last kindness in the concept of death is also deprived, and once the souls fall there, there is eternal torment waiting for them, until the last shreds of energy in their souls are drained, and then in the daily devastation Turned into a mass of mourning that has no value other than sorrow and hatred.
The most terrifying thing is that the Maw is not accessible.
In the countless epochs from the time the Firstborn created the order of the dead world until now, no soul can escape from the maw.
Therefore, that terrifying place of suffering is occasionally used by the Four Realms to exile and punish erring compatriots, such as the sinful prince Reinathor who started a rebellion in Revendez.
He was thrown into the Maw by his father Denasius the Great not long ago.
That means that the ruthless emperor has completely stripped Reina Sol of all his rights, at least on the surface.
"So, we're going down the River Styx into the Maw? We're going to drop ourselves into a place of suffering where the most evil spirits in the universe go, where we're going to be chased by villains, maybe even theirs. plaything, and that's what you mean by "smuggling"?"
In the captain's room of the Nagfar, Fenna, who slept until noon and woke up at noon, was eating food while staring at the smelly brother sitting on the chair.
She blinked her warrior's wits, expressing concern over Black's decision and the adventures to come.
"Bad people? Have they ever been bad to me?"
Blake dismissed Fenna's concerns. He played with the magic quill in his hand with a pipe in his mouth, making that elegant and delicate thing spin twice at his fingertips.
While thinking about the solution to the big question about the nature of the arcane force, he casually said to Fenna:
"Besides, I also have 'friends' over there. I can guarantee that we will be as relaxed and happy as when we go home. You must know that even in the well-known hell, there are VIP rooms reserved for honorable people. guests.
The only thing to worry about is the risk of sailing on the Styx
This is the first time I have explored an unfamiliar route that almost no one has traveled. "
"Don't worry, Dad."
Princess Mononoke Nagfar heard the captain's father's worry and appeared beside Black with a swoosh. She patted her chest with confidence and assured her father:
"I have walked this Styx route, I can take you across the gap between matter and death with my eyes closed, I know the reefs and danger zones in that river full of suffering souls.
For some time in the past, I had to go there once a week. "
"Well, I knew my good daughter was the best."
Black grinned and glanced at Nagfar, who had hardly changed in appearance, and whispered:
"The field strengthening of the Crown of Governors is about to end, have you thought about your promotion form?"
"Um!"
Princess Mononoke nodded vigorously, but she was as secretive as she was unwilling to reveal her wish to strengthen her role as a ship girl, and it seemed that she had to wait until a suitable time to reveal the surprise.
This well-behaved ship spirit stopped bothering when she saw that her father was doing the questions, but before leaving, she made a face at Fenna who was gulps and reminded in a low voice:
"Although no one will suddenly come over in the captain's room, can you put on your clothes anyway?"
"Wait until I finish eating, I'm hungry."
Fina waved her hand carelessly.
She is not without clothes, but the open nightgown can't stop the spring sunshine.
But the stupid warrior obviously didn't care about this. After a few minutes, Fenna put the last piece of beef into his mouth, ending the unpretentious meal this warrior should have.
She wiped her mouth gracefully and looked at her brother who was writing and writing. Her beautiful eyes rolled, she stood up silently and turned to her brother's back. She put her arms around his waist and put her head on his shoulders. Almost close to his ear, he said:
"You're full, do you want to exercise after eating?"
"My brain is racing, it's the best exercise for a spellcaster."
Black answered in a deaf ear:
"You can go to the deck to practice sword dancing, run a few hundred laps or something, which is obviously more suitable for warriors, or jump into the Styx and swim for a few laps, be careful those resentful spirits drag you into the water.
In short, don't bother me with beauty, you don't understand the joy of doing questions. "
Although she has made such an obvious objection, the warrior sister who eats the marrow and knows the taste will not give up so easily. As a determined warrior, she will never give up halfway when she locks the target.
Seeing that her brother was putting all her energy into the **** test paper that Fenna would turn around at a glance, the Elf Juggernaut tilted her head and recalled the plots of the third-rate knight novels in her mind, then she licked her lips and bent over. His lower back went around like a cat.
This nimble and athletic elf cat seemed to have found something fun. She was full and wanted a quiet place to take a nap, and the pirate's desk clearly fit all the cats' imaginations of a new den, so she He stretched his body and squeezed in, clumping his body into a ball, and then keenly discovered the "little mouse" in front of him.
The cat hesitated for a few seconds, then stuck out her paw towards the sleepy little mouse, with a wicked smile on her face, intending to have a good time with this unruly little mouse.
"hiss"
The pirate who was doing the question took a deep breath. He glanced down and met Fina's bright eyes.
The warrior is provoking.
Apparently, she doesn't think she's more attractive than a **** magic question, so she licks her tongue and makes a silent invitation, but Black shrugs, raises his head, and turns his attention back. It's about halfway through the topic.
As a spellcaster, he must remain attentive in any situation, and only a sorcerer who can resist temptation can glimpse the secrets of magical truth.
"Styx River ahead!"
The voice of First Mate Seifel who was at the helm resounded throughout the ghost ship, and Black also raised his head and looked out the window.
In the bleak fog of death, the Nagfar, like a lost ship, has reached the boundary between the material world and the Styx under the guidance of the ship spirit.
They were still sailing on the sea, but what appeared in front of them was a great waterfall that would never appear anywhere in the material world. That thing cut off any possibility for ships to continue moving forward, just like Tianxin.
Any sane adventurer knows this is the time to turn around.
But Blake didn't say anything. He stretched out his hand and took out the death rune that Hela gave him. He bounced the pale white rune, and let it rise into the air and dissipate in front of his eyes, turning into a white smoke-like starlight gas, quickly It wraps the entire ghost ship, giving it the "power" to sail on the Styx.
Yes, not every ghost ship can sail on the Styx. After all, the Maw also has its own master, and the gloomy ruler does not like his domain to be casually picked up by inexplicable people from other worlds. Guys bother.
"In a few minutes, we will be leaving the material world."
Blake temporarily put down the magic pen in his hand and leaned on his chair. He picked up his pipe and took out a magic spar, hesitated for a while, looked down at Fina who was busy, and said:
"Would you like to say goodbye to your friends?"
"Didn't you all say goodbye?"
The idiot warrior grabbed the struggling little mouse, raised his head, and said doubtfully:
"Is there anyone who doesn't know you're leaving?"
"Yes, I have."
Black sighed and said:
"There's a very troublesome guy I don't know yet, and I'm hesitant to tell her, but if we kidnap the little star too, the dragons will go crazy.
Especially the blue dragons. "
"Then tell her, she is so stupid, you can always persuade her."
The Elf Cat shrugged and ignored this matter, and continued to bow her head to play cat-and-mouse game with the little mouse who refused to bow her head. Today, she made up her mind to make trouble for the stinky brother.
This is the last leisure time.
According to Black's way of doing things, once he goes to the Shadow Realm, it is estimated that he will have trouble, but he doesn't have so much time for entertainment.
Blake hesitated for a moment, but still sent a ray of magic power into the spar in his hand. After a moment of shaking, the projection of a small star appeared above the spar.
Evil God adjusted the angle so that she could only see her upper body.
"Hey, Black, where are you? Why is this magic positioning so strange, it doesn't seem to be the coordinates of the material world, right?"
The background on Xiaoxing's side is obviously in the magic hall of the Eternal Eye. She will be standing in front of the focusing rainbow, and the dragon runes will be on and off next to her, as if performing a complex magic engraving.
She was very busy, so she didn't pay much attention to the magic communication in front of her when she was talking. Blake felt strangely relieved that she had finally done the right thing.
It seems that the stupid blue dragon who has been following him everywhere has grown up overnight.
"I'm going to another world."
Blake moved his fingers and said softly:
"This is going to be a farewell to you. I'm sorry I didn't inform you in advance, but I know you must be very busy recently. I will send you my travel notes when I have time, so that you can continue to write your own autobiography. ."
"Huh? Are you going somewhere else?"
Xiaoxing stopped, she looked back at Blake in amazement, a trace of tension flashed in her blue eyes, and said:
"There is a war with demons here. The world needs you. You want to be a deserter? Also, why don't you take me with you? I am also a member of the Nagfar.
I'm still the second!
You can't do this, stop there!
I'll rush over right away. "
"It's too late, we're going to cross the River Styx."
The pirate glanced out the window, a strange gulf stream that seemed to be erected above the sky was already in sight, and the ghost ship was also quickly approaching the sea waterfall at the end of the world in front of him.
The thick and noisy sound of running water was disturbing, and Fenna seemed to feel it too.
The little mouse was trying to break free from the cat's paw, so she increased her strength and brought the cunning little thing back under her control again.
"Don't let you leave me!"
The little star on the other end of the magic communication has been blown up, and she yelled:
"Aren't we friends traveling together? I thought you. You all care about me! I didn't expect you to even say hello, stop!
I just need a few minutes to locate and jump over.
Black!
You are my human servant and you must obey your dragon queen. "
"I will return."
The pirate reassured:
"Just one time out for work, I'm going to pick up Maiev, and I'll be back when I'm done, you see, my family and my friends are in this world, right?
How could I leave you? Am I that ruthless? Be obedient, be good, you are the dragon queen, and you have to do your own thing. "
"Are you sure you'll be back?"
Xiaoxing stared at Blake suspiciously, she thought for a few seconds and said:
"You swear! Swear in the name of Sister Luna. I am also a believer of Lady Elune, you have to say that Moonlight Walker does not lie to Moonlight Walker!"
"Are you dizzy? What kind of moon **** does the good dragon king believe in?
But if that reassures you, well, in the name of my White Fumi boss, Lady Elune, I swear I will return to Azeroth. "
Blake said these words with a serious face, and Little Xingxing nodded suspiciously.
She always felt that there was something wrong with Black's oath, but before she could ask any more questions, the Nagfar had already sailed into the dead waterfall.
But the ship did not plunge into the bottomless abyss with the sea water that fell almost ninety degrees, but sailed smoothly into the foggy sky with nothing in front of it like a flight in the void.
The pale white river across the sky opened its arms to this lonely ship at this moment.
The cold and weird breath of death also opened its mouth like an invisible giant at this moment, and swallowed the black ghost ship that was sent to the door into the territory of death.
The spar in Black's hand was cut off instantly, and the projection above also shone with weird magic sparks like a poor contact, and the expression of Xiaoxing's mouth and prophecy solidified in front of the pirates.
and the unspeakable worries and blessings, like a moment of separation.
"call"
The pirate let out a long sigh of relief, and after a few seconds, he removed the hand that was holding the head of the unruly elf cat away.
He lied to Little Xingxing and didn't tell the truth, but he did go back to Azeroth, and the oath did not stipulate that he must stay in the world that has gone away forever behind him.
Vaguely, the evil **** seemed to hear a vague thank you.
That was the farewell of the star soul from Azeroth.
The Evil God has left the material world, and He, who is still sleeping, does not need to feel suppressed any more, and can continue to sleep soundly in the warmth of the cradle of the world, drawing strength until the moment when she wakes up and is born.
And the Elf Cat, who finally had enough of the cat-and-mouse game with the little mouse, also crawled out of her new nest contentedly. She picked up the handkerchief placed on the corner of the table and wiped her mouth, then glanced at her face with a charming look. The sad stinky brother stretched his body again and was ready to put on his armor and go to the deck to exercise, and by the way, let's see what the Styx looks like.
But before she could take a few steps, Blake pinched her shoulders and pressed her onto the desk with a bang. In front of her was the damned exam paper with half the answers.
Those complicated magic formulas made her dizzy at first glance, but the stupid warrior let out a cheerful and smug laugh at this moment.
As she expected, her charm is always more than this **** boring test question.
"Would you feel sad for cheating on Little Xingxing?"
Fenna, who was lying on the table, stretched her numb legs, and asked without looking back. Blake didn't answer. He was a little irritable and decided to accept the duel request from the Elf Sword Saint.
"She'll understand."
The Evil God looked back at the pale world and the deadly and gloomy scenery outside the window. He locked the hands of the Elf Sword Saint with his superb monk skills, and said in a low voice:
"This is not where she should be.
It's enough for a child like her to enjoy the beauty of the world record. Those heavy truths and tortures should be borne by us nasty adults. "
"yes."
The Elf Juggernaut, who was severely disadvantaged in the duel, moved her body to prepare for a counterattack. Mixed in the low echoes of the battle, she sighed:
"She is still a young dragon, facing death to save the world or something is really too heavy for her."
