After separating from the Seven Pigeons, Gru did not return to Erathia.
The growing sense of uneasiness in his heart prompted him to look everywhere for clues about the Winter Blade.
The first stop he chose was the Great Library of Bracada.
The library is particularly lively today. Qi Ge had just left and Gru came right after.
The Great Library is not open to the public and can only be accessed by heroes affiliated with Bracada.
But to Gru, the Great Library's defenses were useless.
Gru searched the library for a long time and finally found a book called "Yasha Divine Weapon Book".
This book records in detail the many powerful treasures that have appeared in the Yasa world.
However, Gru searched the entire book and found no record of the Winter Blade.
"Could it be that the Winter Blade doesn't exist at all and is just a fabrication by that mysterious person?"
Just as Gru was thinking, a voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Of course not. The Winter Blade certainly exists."
Gru looked up suddenly, and a figure in a black robe appeared beside him.
"It's you again! Who are you?"
Gru frowned, but did not attack like last time.
"I'm just an ordinary prophet."
The man in black robe said:
"Please believe me, I have no other thoughts. I simply don't want you and Her Majesty Catherine to be separated forever."
Gru frowned and asked:
"And how did you know I was here?"
"Haha, under the gaze of the common people, there are no secrets in this world."
The mysterious man laughed strangely:
“Your Majesty Gru, the Winter Blade is located in the extreme north of the Yasha world, the source of the coldness shrouded by wind and frost.
There lives a group of mysterious creatures.
Some people call her the Ice Fairy, others call her the Snow Demon.
These mysterious creatures always guard the world's peace, day and night, without getting tired.
The Winter Blade is the divine weapon that suppresses the Far North.
Only it can fight against the Blade of Doom."
"The Far North?" Gru was a little unconvinced:
"I have been to the Far North, and that is where I trained my Arctic Archer.
I didn’t see the Ice Fairy you mentioned in the Far North, let alone the Winter Blade.”
“No, you’re not far enough north.
You have to go further north, through the howling icy wind and across the permafrost ocean, to see that magnificent dreamland.
Only after passing the test of the Ice Fairy can you become the chosen hero and end this disaster."
Gru was silent for a moment, then said to the mysterious man:
“I still can’t believe you unless you can prove it to me.
If you are really a prophet and your prediction is true, then tell me the location of Selron and the Doomsday Blade."
"Hehe..." The mysterious man laughed strangely.
“You must want to find Selron and Doomsday Blade in advance to prevent the prophecy from happening.
Sadly, it didn't work.
Catherine will definitely die at the hands of the Doomsday Blade. This is her destined fate, no matter who holds the Doomsday Blade.
Did you hear that clearly?
Even if you, Gru, get the Doomsday Blade, Catherine will die under it.
If you don't believe it, just try it.
Selron is now in the Everfrost Icefield near Everfrost City , and the Blade of Doom is deep underground in Over Fire Seal City.
Yes, Selron was not with the Blade of Doom, someone else was keeping the Blade of Doom.
Demons are so cunning and treacherous. This is their nature.
Good luck, Gelug."
The magical power wave flashed by, and the mysterious man disappeared out of thin air.
Gru did not choose to stop it. He frowned tightly, his heart full of fear.
…
…
Adela had a dream. In the dream, she walked barefoot on the cold, frozen ground covered with stones. The holy spirits that protected her floated in the air and slowly fell down, getting closer and closer to her.
"Adela."
"Adela."
The four Holy Spirits spoke one after another:
"Wake up, Adela."
"It's time for you to fulfill your mission."
"The cycle of time has reached its end, and the power of the Heroic Spirit is approaching its limit."
"We have slept for too long, leaving the winter helpless."
"And you will wake us up."
Adela did not resist the Holy Spirit's request.
Her heart was calm and she accepted her fate calmly. She had a feeling that she was born for this moment.
“Holy Spirits, what should I do?”
Adela raised her head and asked softly.
"Go find the Seven Doves. Go to him."
"The Holy Spirit of Courage has chosen him. He will pave the way for you."
Adela lowered her head slightly, without any confusion in her heart.
"I will follow your orders."
…
…
"Ashkol? I wouldn't be surprised if he was the one working with Sandro."
After listening to Qi Ge’s guess, Agaide said:
"He has never been a law-abiding person. He used a lot of tricks to become the president of the Mage Association.
He is a man who is good at forbearance and secret calculations, like a cold and poisonous snake.
He looks honest on the surface, but actually has many tricks.
When I worked with him in Thunder City, he and I were both stuck at the Master level, so we could be considered brothers in distress.
Every day he would drag me around all over the red-light districts of Thunder City.
It is said that it can relieve worries, relax, and find inspiration to better break through the legend.
But I followed him, looking for inspiration for at least twenty-two hours a day, twenty-four hours a day. I was drenched in inspiration all day long, but I just couldn't break through the legend.
Depraved, so depraved.
Originally I thought, it’s okay, at least I have Escher to accompany me, and even if both of us can’t break through the legendary level, we can still comfort each other.
But in the end, suddenly one day, Eschel came to me and said that he had broken through to the legendary level and became the president of the Mage Association!
Hey! Tell me, isn't this infuriating?
It seems that I am the only one who has fallen, and he is working hard in secret.
Later I thought, this old fellow Eschel must have been a legend for a long time, he was just pretending to be a master.
When he was with me, I saw it clearly. I looked for inspiration twenty-two hours a day, and he was not much behind.
If this can allow him to break through to the legendary level, then all those useless people in Huajie will be able to ascend.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Escher now calls himself a legend.
Who knows, this old fellow has already become a demigod, and has been secretly planning to become a true god.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he ascends to heaven one day.”
“Seal the True God…”
Hearing these three words, Qi Ge was in a trance for a moment, and seemed to realize something vaguely.
“What puzzled me the most before was what kind of benefits would be needed to make so many demigods join forces.
If it was Feng Zhenshen, then everything would make sense.
The Eye of All Life and the Lord of the New Life, these names do sound like the names of gods.
If you want to become a true god, there are only two ways now.
One is to become a false god by relying on the Tears of Yasa, expand his power, and then become a true god.
Another way is to become a god based on your contribution to the Yasa world.
If Escher wanted to take the path of becoming a false god and then a true god, he should go find the Tears of Yasha.
But when the Tears of Avilasha appeared in the world, Eschel did not go, which means that what he wanted was to be deified directly through contribution.
So what kind of contribution could make him a god?
This contribution is also related to the Blade of Doom and the Sword of Ice."
Qi Ge thought about it for a long time but couldn't come to any conclusion.
He couldn't help rubbing his head and sighed:
"It's a headache. He can't possibly want to take two magic weapons and go to the Chaos Realm to blow it up, right?
If Chaos was so easy to deal with, he would have been destroyed by Yasha long ago."
Qi Ge thought about it over and over again but couldn't come to a conclusion.
At this moment, Aged patted Qige on the shoulder and said to Qige:
"Disciple, please think carefully about this matter. Is it something you can handle?
So far, there are three demigods whose identities have been revealed.
Sandro, Degar, and Selron are all strong men.
And there is the possible existence of the Bracada demigod hiding in the shadows.
Even if you find out who they are, can you stop them?
Teacher, I am not like you, who always has smooth sailing.
In my life, I have encountered too many problems that I could not solve by myself.
But in life, failure is the norm.
When you encounter something you cannot solve yourself, the best way is to seek help from a strong person who can accomplish it.
You have to understand that when you are taking action, your opponent is also taking action.
If you can't find any clues and they have completed their plan, wouldn't you have missed something important?
I think, since it was Tanan who threw this matter to you, you should just throw it back.
You should focus your energy on more important things, like...
History echoes this week! ”
Aged laughed, and his face was full of hope that his apprentice would try harder:
“That’s our main battlefield as architects.”
Qi Ge thought about it and agreed.
This Blade of Doom involves too many things to the demigod, and he is in a disadvantageous position, without enough breakthrough points or enough power to break through.
Perhaps, handing it back to Tanan is the right choice.
So Qi Ge gave Tanan a conch shell and told him about his investigation.
“Your Excellency Tanan, I’m sorry for my boasting before. The story behind the Blade of Doom is much more complicated than I thought.
With my ability, it may not be possible to complete it.
In the extremely cold land, I will inform the ice fairies to be on high alert. With the ice fairies around, it won't be easy for them to get the Ice Sword.
Please pay more attention to Doom Blade and His Majesty Gru."
"That's enough."
Tanan took a deep breath:
“You did better than I thought.
Sure enough, the matter of Doomsday Blade is not that simple.
I will continue to investigate this matter. If you get any news, please inform me."
[System prompt: Your mission Doomsday Reappearance has failed. ]
【System prompt: Based on your task progress, you have received task rewards:
1. Tanan's favorability +1]
Phew, I didn't lose any favorability due to failed mission, but gained some favorability instead, so it's not a loss at all.
Without having to worry about this troublesome task, Qi Ge felt much more relaxed.
Seeing this, Aged said to Qige with a smile:
"Disciple, have you decided what historical reverberation you want to enter this week?
If you don't have a clue, try looking in the backyard.
Strong bulls and multi-headed ogres that can multicast spells are both good choices. "
After putting down the burden, Qi Ge also relaxed a lot:
“Okay, then I’ll go to the backyard to see if there are any powerful troops.
Teacher, let’s go together.”
"Let's go, let's go together."
Aged smiled happily.
But at this moment, the conch on the Seven Pigeons suddenly sounded.
The seven doves took up the conch, and Adela's voice rang out from the conch:
"Qi Ge, where are you? I need to see you immediately, the sooner the better."
"Adela, what's wrong?"
Qi Ge was a little confused.
“It’s hard to explain.
The Holy Spirit has given me a mission and requires me to find you. When you see me, you should understand.
I am in Longshe Port City now. Do you want to come to Longshe Port City to find me, or should I go find you?"
"Let me go over there. I'm faster."
Qi Ge put down the conch and explained the situation to Aged.
Agaide looked solemn:
"Well, Adela may have something urgent to do. This matter cannot be delayed. I, your apprentice, will go with you. Maybe I can help you with something."
"Um!"
…
…
Two days later, Qi Ge and Aged arrived at Longshe Port City.
This is Adela's hometown and the base of the Seven Pigeons in Erathia.
Many large guilds in Elasia, including the Holy Angel Alliance, Tianxia Hegemony, and the Queen's Guard, are stationed here.
I haven't been back for a long time. Thanks to the efforts of the players, Longshe Port City has been completely renewed and the urban area has expanded more than three times.
Even the expensive advanced cavalry training ground and advanced cloud city have been built.
Since the reform of the Holy Griffin Church was completed, Catherine has loosened the authority for the main city to build the Cloud City.
All main cities that meet the construction requirements can apply to the capital for the qualification to build Cloud City and recruit angel spirits.
Even if the construction restrictions were lifted, not many cities could build expensive cloud cities. However, due to the Blade of Renaissance, the growth rate of resources in Erathia was unprecedentedly exaggerated.
Every player is a hero. The void gold and resources they obtain through the Blade of Renaissance will eventually flow back to the city through various means and become funds for the city's construction.
The more players there are in a main city, the richer it is.
This also made the daily income of Longshe Port City even exceed that of the capital of Erathia, making it extremely rich.
Seven Pigeons and Aged soon met Adela.
Surrounding her were four huge balls of light, emitting a holy aura that made it difficult for people to resist the urge to worship them.
"Adela, what are you doing?"
Qi Ge asked in shock.
Adela looked at the seven doves and said in a voice as sweet as honey:
"Qi Ge, this time we will fight side by side again."
"What's the meaning?"
Qi Ge took a step towards Adela, and a bright blue light suddenly appeared on his hand.
The shining [Inscription of Courage] slowly floated up.
Qi Ge and Aged looked at the Emblem of Courage in shock, and a voice sounded in their hearts at the same time.
[Historical Echoes: The Sorrow of the Holy Dragon is about to close. Please enter the Historical Echoes as soon as possible to save the Holy Dragon's heroic spirit.]
Adela looked at the mark on Qi Ge's hand and said helplessly:
"That's what I mean."
