Poison brother from another world, save the world!

Zilfrig carefully inserted the holy sword into the scabbard, and turned to Merles and said, "Don't worry, the snake shadow and I will complete the final duel. We will not disappoint His Excellency Fryer's wish, I will not let down the mission of the Guardian of Light."

After the words fell, Zilfrige looked at the snake shadow.The snake spirit nodded slightly, and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

"Fryer will be very happy if you have such determination." Merles smiled.His smile is a little ethereal and seems a little transparent, just like himself.The current "he" is nothing but the spiritual consciousness left by the shadow moon priest Meles when he passed away, a group of gathered spiritual power.The raging flames couldn't pull his shadow out on the ground, because he wasn't an entity himself.

He is just the obsession left by a poor and stubborn man.

Whenever the name of Fryer is mentioned, the expression of the priest of Mayfair always becomes a little lost.Snake Shadow knew the sadness in his heart, so he had nothing to say, and talked about other things:

"Your weapon, the sacred scripture of the four phases, we handed over to Saint Eric of France."

Only then did Merles' eyes refocus, as if he had stepped out of a distant memory.He didn't ask about Eric, but nodded with a smile: "The seal of the Holy Code of the Four Phases requires the blood of the Luna Heraldry Stone and the Guardian of Light. If the Guardian of Light and his companions agree with Eric, we will There will be no objection."

"..."

Snake Shadow didn't know what to say again.Merles seemed to understand his good intentions, and nodded slightly to him, but his voice became serious: "Now we should talk about the business. Guardians of Light, you know that the final opponent you will face is who?"

Now Snake Shadow and Zilfrig also had to get nervous.For a long time, both Shadowmoon Odette and Luna's headmaid Hemera have been trying to keep secrets; Kleinz, including in the secret temple, is only responsible for training Zilfrig's sword skills. Didn't speak a single word about the final battle with him.

"Could it be..." Snake Shadow couldn't help thinking of what Hemera said before parting, "Is it the 'shell' of the forest under the moon?"

"Huh?" Zilfrig looked at him in surprise, "Didn't Hemera say that that 'shell' wouldn't be our opponent?"

"'Shell'?" The corners of the long and narrow eyes twitched, and Merles asked without any surprise, "That 'shell', is it not the corpse of a woman with long rose-red hair, a crown, and a dark holy garment?"

The dignified expressions of Snake Shadow and Zilfrig let him know that he guessed right.Merles pondered for a while, and said: "'Shell' will indeed not be your final opponent. However, if you want to complete the final battle, you must defeat her."

"What is that 'shell'?" Snake Shadow wondered, "Is she a corpse, or a human-shaped container?" Zilfrig once said that the "shell" is surrounded by extremely thick There was a dark breath, and the totem of Shadow Moon was engraved on the crystal coffin where she slept.

Merles didn't answer, his eyes seemed to be mixed with contemplation.He crossed his arms and rubbed his chin gently with his white-gloved thumb.After a long time, he spit out a few words lightly:

"Tillesa James..."

"What?!" Zilfrig was shocked, "The 'shell' you said was actually Tireza, the God of Shadow Moon?!"

Moles raised his eyes again, and he did not deny his point of view: "How much do you know about Tiresa?"

"Not much..." Chilfrig murmured, "She used to be the dark princess of the Zemons tribe, and later she rebelled against the darkness, and together with Kleinz, the guardian of light at that time, defeated the demon lord Zeulmes. Kleinz was crowned as Holy Moon, she was crowned as Shadow Moon...that's all I know..."

"Then do you know that Tiresa has fallen, but Kleinz is still alive?"

"We have met His Royal Highness Kleinz." Seeing Merles' surprised eyes, Zilfrig told him about the secret temple under the eternally frozen lake.Merles was silent for a while, then shook his head mockingly:

"The four people who fought against Zormes back then ended up scattered. So what if they become the Moon God..."

However, Merles quickly concealed his slightly sad emotions, and his eyes became serious again: "The reason why 'Shell' is called 'Shell' is because she used to be the container of Shadowmoon Tilesa, It is the former body of the Queen of Darkness. After the fall of Tireza, the Maid of the Moon Goddess has been guarding her body. Kleinz once sent an oracle, and in her lifetime, Tireza will finally return .”

"...In other words, what we are going to face is Tireza? But the 'shell' is just her body, a shell without a soul?"

"You can't underestimate the body without a soul." Merles said sternly, "Tilesa is the last king of the Zamons and the master of the fallen civilization Artdistin. You should have heard her other story Name—the son of the Creator Goddess Lunadia and the Sea God Joshua, Tiraicha."

"..."

Zilfrig was silent.He had never heard of Tillesa's identity.But thinking about it now, even though she is dead, her body still contains a formidable force.

The final battle will be extremely difficult; and what is even more frightening is that she is not the final opponent?

"Tiraicha is an ancient emperor. In order to inherit the power of the mother god in his blood, he prayed to Shadow Moon. He is willing to offer his own blood and become a fountain of dark magic power. Lunadia promised him request. So after seven days and seven nights of sacrifice, he was transformed into a woman, the Queen of the Zaimons, 'Tilesa'."

"Why do you want to become a woman?" Snake Shadow was puzzled.

Merles glanced at him: "Because the power of a woman is feminine, closer to darkness." After a pause, he continued: "This world needs the mutual check and balance of light and darkness, and the two sides have been ebb and flow. Lunadia and Dialana of the first generation were in charge of the darkness that belongs to women and the light that belongs to men respectively, so this world has been in peace. But the two generations of Luna, Tireza and Kleinz Women, and Odette and Esl are both men. Therefore, the light and darkness in this world cannot be balanced, which led to a series of disasters."

"..."

Snake Shadow was speechless again.In fact, he was very strange, why every generation of Moon God had to choose two of the same sex when choosing his heir?

He didn't ask, and it was impossible for Merles to answer the question.Zilfrig, who was silent for a while over there, finally spoke again:

"If 'Shell' is not our final opponent, who will we defeat in the end?" He searched for the names in these creation myths in his mind, "Esl? Odette? Ke Reinz?...Jourmes? Or...Could it be you, or maybe Fryer is not dead—our opponent is actually him?!"

Merles was really amused by his unconstrained thinking.Snake Shadow slapped Zilfrig on the head.

"I don't know about that." Merles smiled, "However, since you are the Guardian of Light, you must have confidence in yourself. And...as far as I know, you and your companion Won't fight 'Shell'—although you must pass her."

"why?"

"If the prediction I made before my death is not wrong." Merles thought thoughtfully, "Did you invite ten top experts from the human world to help?"

Zilfrig twitched the corners of his mouth: "As expected of a priest of the Mayfair tribe, the prophecy is really accurate..."

"They will resist the 'shell' for you. And you can go directly to the battlefield of the final battle."

"Oh?" Zilfrig raised his eyebrows, "What if we insist on fighting alongside them? Will your prophecy be invalidated?"

"Some people's fate is to resist fate, and some prophecies are based on the fact that the prophecies were known in advance and resisted." Merles laughed, "As the Illusion of Wind Swordsman, you can't disagree with such a simple truth. got it."

"Your Excellency Merles." Snake Shadow said suddenly, "Since you are a great prophet, can you tell us... what is our future?"

Did you complete the mission of the Guardian of Light?Or be defeated?

And what will happen to those traitorous disciples?Is it because the people betrayed their relatives and led the neck to be slaughtered; or was it possible to redress their grievances and reintegrate into the arena of the Tang Dynasty without any gaps?

Looking at Snake Shadow's eager eyes, Merles just felt very familiar.How many years have passed, no matter which race or era, people are always so eager to know their own destiny—probably because the uncontrollable future makes many people feel afraid.But, what's the use of knowing it?

As a great magister, he never missed his spiritual words.He would not forget that he had predicted Fryer's fate.Before Tireza and Kleinz became the moon god, he also used to divination for them.They once struggled against those ominous predictions, but finally proved the accuracy of the predictions with their own lives.

How sad.

"Fate cannot be changed." Merles said lightly, "Prophecy is never meaningful, it can only bring infinite sorrow to people."

After speaking, he turned around.In front of him, a silver-white magic circle slowly unfolded.Dots of spiritual power are scattered in the center of the circle, and countless complex totems are inlaid in the center of the circle.

"This is the space magic of the Mayfair tribe." Merles turned his back to them, and his voice could not hear sadness or joy, "It will bring you to the strange rock city of Banmos Island. Open the seal of the city gate of Qiyan City. At the highest point of Qiyan City, you will face the 'shell'."

"Wait!" Snake Shadow took a step forward anxiously, almost stepping into the magic circle with his toes.Thanks to Chilfrige's sharp eyesight and quick hands, he was able to hold him back, otherwise he must have been teleported away by the circle first.

Mellus stopped, but he still didn't look back.

"You predicted our fate, didn't you?" Snake Shadow's tone was eager and nervous.

"Prophecy is the bane of bad luck." Merles said.

"Even if it's the cause of disaster, I want to hear it." Snake Shadow said, "Priest Shadow Moon, please tell us what kind of ending is waiting for us. Whether it's life or death, good or bad, we have to face it." Right stuff."

"The future is to be faced, not to be avoided. Isn't it?"
