Abnormal paradise - #548 - Chapter 539 The Firestone Team and the Gray Mist of Destiny
Jingle Bell!
A snow-colored eagle from Haihan Island soars above the glacier. With a slight flutter of its broad wings, it can fly hundreds of meters forward with the help of the wind. Because of its fast speed and high endurance, it can effectively avoid glacier collapse and ice. Insect-infested, it has become the most popular flying vehicle in the cold land. All traders of some size in the four major bases will purchase a few from Haihan Island to trade specialties in the base.
However, this snow-colored eagle was not carrying traders, but the Firestone escort team sent by the Shennu settlement. The group of six people were tightly wrapped in furs, and flew towards the glacier in the direction of Aurora City against the biting cold wave. Deep down, transporting daily supplies to withstand the cold.
Under normal circumstances, Aurora City should take the initiative to send people to collect this flint, which is related to livelihood and cultivation. However, due to the night banquet, the only leading figure in Aurora City was the Lord of Aurora City, and he was worried about being attacked by Ah. It’s hard to find fault, so I choose to turn a blind eye.
As a result, it was delayed until Ananda personally intervened and ordered the leader of the settlement to organize manpower and take the initiative to send flint to Aurora City.
Although Ananda deliberately ignored the issue of the Lord of Aurora City and the Cold Land Aurora for some reason, he always cared about the believers in Aurora City. Those people were always loyal people of the Dream Pickers. Ananda would never ignore death. .
Jingle Bell!
On the back of the snow-colored eagle, the clear bell sounded again, instantly suppressing the strange murmur blended into the howling cold wind, and allowing the six members of the escort team to get rid of their willpower problems.
The mine manager, who rang the bell for an unknown number of times, was once again amazed by Ananda’s magic. If the bell had not been there to protect him during this trip, everyone in the convoy would have been driven crazy by the sudden change in the wind.
However, the fatigue caused by the mental stress of working day and night cannot be resolved by the soul-crushing bell. As the leader of the team, the mine steward had to applaud the drowsy team members: “Everyone, hold on, Aurora City It’s almost here, we’re going home!”
When they heard that they were going home, the team members were really shocked, because the six members of the Firestone escort team were actually all from Aurora City. The most powerful mine manager was sent by Aurora City to the Shennu Settlement to supervise the mine and ensure the share. The remaining people were the banquet guests who came all the way with Aurora’s chief priest a few days ago. Because they were not strong enough, they were arranged to the banquet auxiliary hall, and they escaped.
After Ananda’s earnest teachings, these church members in Aurora City all got rid of the potential influence of the cold aurora and followed the dream master wholeheartedly, so Ananda was very relieved to send them to escort the fire stone.
And these six dream-seeking believers also decided to repay Ananda’s trust with actions.
After a day and night of continuous travel, the Firestone convoy has crossed a large glacier and is about to arrive at Aurora City. The thought of promoting the great deeds of the new Dream Shifting Priest to the church colleagues who stayed behind in Aurora City, and telling the devout believers about the Dream Shift Cult. The six members of the team were very excited about the feat of substantial expansion, and they all alerted themselves to the surroundings, trying to ensure that the remaining half of the trip was passed safely.
Suddenly, a figure on the glacier attracted the attention of a certain team member, and he couldn’t help but ask: “How come there are still people who dare to walk alone on the glacier now?”
The rest of the escort team looked around and saw a young human wearing thin black clothes, dragging a rusty chain-broken knife and moving quickly through the glacier. A few hundred meters behind him, There was a dead ice worm with its body and head cut off, lying on its back on the ice.
Suddenly, as if he felt someone’s eyes observing him, the lone young man suddenly raised his head and faced the six people in the team with an indifferent gaze.
The mine manager immediately became extremely vigilant and reminded: “Be on guard! It’s best not to mess with people like this. Our mission is only to deliver the flint, and we will ignore everything else!”
The six members of the escort team were not very powerful, so even if they did not feel how powerful the solo youth was, they were all prepared to deal with it. You must know that the world of the ancient gods is full of hidden strong people who cannot be seen through.
The mine manager couldn’t help but feel lucky that although the lone young man noticed them, he had no intention of doing anything. He just glanced at them and then looked away.
However, before the mine manager could rejoice for a long time, a cold wind suddenly hit from the bottom up. The sudden change of howling wind seemed to be staring at the snow-colored eagle, and poured directly into the eagle’s ears. By the time the mine The steward came to his senses and hurriedly shook the soul-calming bell, but he still couldn’t get rid of the strange murmur in the strong wind in time.
Under the night cover of the glacier, a sharp cry suddenly sounded. The snow-colored eagle’s eyes were full of pain. It could no longer maintain its balance and plunged headlong into the cold ice hundreds of meters below it.
“not good!”
The mine manager’s expression changed. He held the eagle’s feathers with one hand and shook the soul-calming bell with the other. However, the snow-colored eagle almost struggled and still could not return to normal in a short time. The glacier beneath him was approaching a dangerous distance.
As a last resort, the mine manager could only order everyone to prepare to protect themselves and fall from an altitude of hundreds of meters at a high speed. With the strength of the team of six, it was basically a disaster.
“You must not die. I must send the flint to Aurora City. The 100,000 believers there are pointing at the flint to survive!” The mine manager forced himself to calm down and tried his best to think of ways to save his life. “We must not let this down.” With the trust of the officiant, I must not die here!”
At this moment, other people in the team also had the same thoughts as the mine manager. However, the situation did not improve at all. The snow-colored eagle completely disappeared, causing a piece of snow-white cold ice to quickly magnify in everyone’s eyes. , If this continues, everyone will be smashed into a pulp.
But just when a few people were heartbroken and prepared to face death sadly, the lone young man in thin black clothes suddenly appeared in front of everyone, with his feet tilted across the body of the eagle, and he gently lifted the broken chain wrapped around him. Knife’s strong right arm.
Facing death, the mine manager and others were so shaken that they could not think of any other thoughts. They did not understand why the lone young man appeared or what he was going to do. They opened their eyes blankly and saw the lone young man swinging the chain and breaking the knife, pointing at The eagle’s head waved in the air.
Whoosh!
The broken knife cut through the air, causing the chain to fly half a circle, without hitting anything, and then struck back.
In the eyes of the mine manager and others, this knife was swung away by the lone young man. The fire of hope that they finally raised was immediately extinguished by cold water. But strangely, the abnormality could not be eliminated by the Soul Calming Bell. The snow-colored eagle suddenly regained its energy. Seeing that it was about to fall, it flapped its wings and lifted upwards. After several desperate struggles, it finally resumed its flying posture just before hitting the ice, just like riding a roller coaster. Like this, after falling rapidly, it quickly flew away from the ice.
call……
The team members who had walked through the gate of hell couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. For a moment of shock, their fatigue completely dissipated.
But what surprised the mine manager was that the lone young man actually understood the principle of doing good deeds without leaving a name. He jumped off his legs and continued to walk alone on the glacier.
Several members of the team exchanged glances, and the mine manager quickly invited the lone young man to board the Eagle to express his gratitude for saving his life.
The young man walking alone did not refuse directly. He raised his head and asked indifferently: “I am going to Aurora City, are you guys on the way?”
“On the way, of course!” The mine manager immediately smiled and said, “We are going to Aurora City specifically on this trip! My little brother, why don’t you let the snow-colored eagle give you a ride? When we get to Aurora City, we will have to take care of you Thank you!”
“Oh well.”
The lone young man jumped into the air, jumped onto the snow-colored eagle again, and said calmly to the mine manager: “There’s no need to thank you, it’s a simple effort.”
These words made the mine manager, who was still slightly worried, immediately put away all worries and said with an even brighter smile: “Brother, I don’t know what you are going to Aurora City for? We are all Dream Pickers. , no matter what your needs are, we will do our best to provide you with convenience.”
“You can’t help me with my matter.” The young man walking alone sat casually on the back of the eagle, with the broken chain knife at hand.
“Haha, brother, you might as well say it bluntly. We sincerely want to repay you. The officiant has taught us to be grateful. We must express your kindness.” After the mine manager finished speaking, the remaining five People agreed one after another.
Faced with the enthusiasm of the Firestone escort team, the lone young man could only say: “I want to go to Aurora City to find my destiny.”
As soon as these words came out, the mine manager and others couldn’t help but look at each other, thinking that they really couldn’t help with this.
Destiny is elusive, unpredictable, and more illusory than dreams. People like them are not even proficient in the power of dreams, let alone help others find their destiny.
Therefore, the six people in the team could only dismiss the idea and turn to inquire about other situations. The attitude of the lone young man was no longer indifferent and he gave a brief answer to his origins.
“It turns out that little brother is from the Plague Land, so we are now a family. When we arrive in Aurora City, I will cover all your expenses!” the mine manager said, patting his chest, but noticed that the young man walking alone had no special reaction. Then he asked tentatively, “I wonder if I have met the officiating master’s student, Your Excellency the Crazy Doctor?”
The news that Ember went deep into the Plague Land alone and laid the foundation for victory in the war of faith had long spread throughout the Divine Slave settlement. The mine manager and others, who were already familiar with the name of the mad doctor, were immediately attracted by the dream-seeking god. The embers of the second spot are increasingly respected.
The mine manager believed that the lone young man must know about the mad doctor Ember who traveled through the seven strongholds in the Plague Land.
As expected, the lone young man nodded and his expression changed: “I met Mr. Crazy Doctor in the sick village. He is a good man and a good doctor.”
“Hahahaha! That’s right. Your Excellency Kuang Doctor studied under the Master Priest. They are both excellent people. By following them, we will definitely make the Dream-Shifting Sect flourish!” The manager of the mine laughed, and the rest of the people He also nodded in response. Although the Aurora Priest and the Aurora Priest were defeated by Ember’s master and apprentice, they now think of the traitors who cheated and cheated, and they can only despise them in their hearts. They completely regard Ember as an important figure in the Dream-Shifting Cult.
The atmosphere on the snow-colored eagle became more and more heated, and the six people in the Firestone escort team started a discussion around Ananda and Ember, with words of praise and reverence.
It’s just that although the young man walking alone had a smile on his face, his mind was elsewhere, and he participated in the topic without saying a word.
“That knife cut off five years of your life.”
Suddenly, a voice sounded from the bottom of his heart. The young man walking alone was stunned, but he didn’t feel any pity. He looked at the six faces in front of him and said secretly: “Five years of life in exchange for six lives is not a loss, let alone that sword. It made my understanding of destiny clearer.”
“As expected of the person I like, although you are still naive, your understanding of the power of fate is very outstanding.” The voice that could not hear the gender, age or even mood swings sounded again, “It’s not in vain that I gave you this special gift.” Create opportunities!”
The lone young man’s pupils shrank. Although he had already guessed, he still couldn’t help but feel sad for the fragility of human beings.
Destiny is not under your control, it is played in the hands of those superior beings.
The voice ignored the emotional changes of the lone young man and explained to himself: “The fate of these six people and their mounts was obscured by the gray fog. They are obviously insignificant little characters. It makes no difference whether they die now or later. , it may be a good thing for them to let them fall to death on the glacier. If their faith is defeated in the future, there is no guarantee that they will have to endure inhuman torture. You should know that we ancient gods are best at destroying the mind.”
The fateful cloud of the Firestone escort team appeared in front of the young man walking alone. Just as the voice said, they were all completely obscured by the hazy gray mist, which meant that they were dead and could not stir up any ripples in the entire world.
The same situation happened to one of his family members.
“I still can’t understand what is hidden in Aurora City that allows me to wield the sword that cuts through the gray mist of fate?” the lone young man asked indifferently.
“Before explaining this problem, you must first have a deep understanding of the gray mist of fate. Although these six humans and the person you care about seem to be in the same situation, they are actually completely opposite. These little characters will die when they die. The fate under the gray fog is also of this color. There is no hope for the future, but your blood relative is different. His fate was tampered with by external forces and suddenly glowed with a strange brilliance. This allowed him to have an infinite future, but …”
The elongated voice touched the mind of the young man walking alone.
“But the entire Dream Picker Cult is shrouded in gray fog. Even if your blood relative’s fate changes temporarily, he is destined to be buried with the Lord of Dreams. Unless you can cut through the gray fog and completely cut off his connection with the Dream Picker, Otherwise, even if you forcefully take him to the ends of the earth, sooner or later the gray mist will completely erode his destiny!”
When the voice said this, a tone of awe suddenly appeared: “Our destiny is controlled by a supreme mystery. He doesn’t even have to do it himself. He can decide our life and death with just the gray mist that covers our destiny. He has the power. Spying on destiny seems to give us a chance to confront the Supreme Being, but in fact, we are just poor people spying on destiny. We can only survive by hiding more and more carefully, and we cannot easily disturb destiny.”
The voice became deeper and deeper: “For example, if you swing the knife just two seconds later, the life span will increase to ten years, because after two seconds, it will be the critical point to save the fate! Before that, if the mount is killed If you wake up unexpectedly, you still have a chance to save your destiny, so if you swing the sword in advance, it will only cause part of the gray fog to backfire on your lifespan. But at the limit of life and death, only you can disturb the destiny. Once the sword is drawn, the six people will The gray mist of the eagle’s fate will all flow towards you, and I’m afraid I’ve said that it’s too little for ten years.”
When the young man walking alone heard this, he suddenly had a clear understanding: “If I break through the gray mist of his fate now, not only will I not be able to save him, but I won’t be able to survive, either?”
“Of course, what is his current status, and what is your status? He was suddenly given the status of a divine envoy by the Dream Picker, causing his fate and gray fog to grow to an extremely high level at the same time. The result of his rash action was that you immediately became a withered skeleton. .” The voice immediately said, “So, if you want to rescue your blood relative, you have to walk out of Aurora City alive, whose destiny has also been changed. I will accept you as the attendant of the ancient god as agreed. This title does not sound good. , but his status is one level higher than that of a divine envoy.”
The young man walking alone nodded, and at the same time, the majestic city located deep in the glacier, under the snow-capped mountains, and at the source of the aurora appeared in front of him.
The mine manager and others all shouted excitedly, thankful to be able to return safely with the flint supplies.
Thinking of Ananda’s satisfied eyes and the cheerful smiles of believers in the city, the mine manager felt that no matter how many difficulties he encountered along the way, it was all worth it.
Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, the manager of the mine caught sight of a lone young man looking at the city, and he immediately asked solemnly: “Hey, I always forgot to ask my little brother your name. If I have the opportunity to go to the sick village in the future, I will definitely trouble you. !”
The manager of the mine felt that the lonely young man would definitely become famous in the future, so he came up with a plan to make friends with him.
The young man walking alone hesitated for a moment, remembered a piece of advice from the bottom of his heart, and decided to tell the world his name for the last time.
“My name is Anu.”
