Chapter 18
The last words that Saint Cocoon said to the brave Ryan tonight were the last words that Saint Cocoon said to the brave Ryan tonight. In the next twenty years, Ryan never saw this misty saint again.
It was not until the 175th year of God's Descent, when Ryan's life was about to come to an end, that he finally met Saint Cocoon.
That day, Ryan will never forget.
In the spring of the 175th year of God's Descent, as usual, the first thing Ryan did when he got up was to wipe Lililili's portrait.
Last winter, time took Princess Lili away first.
And Ryan, from a high-spirited brave, turned into a hunched old man.
Unexpectedly, it was not the demon king who defeated the hero, but time.
In fact, compared with other divine veins, Ryan was considered long-lived.
Ryan wiped his wife's portrait, and his thoughts returned to the years he spent in the Giant Wall Fortress.
That was the most difficult time in Ryan's life, but also his happiest time.
At that time, Ryan didn't have to consider the calculations of human hearts, he just had to keep rushing forward, hunting demons, and hunting demons repeatedly.
But unfortunately, with the death of the demon king, those monsters active in the north of the giant wall also evaporated from the world.
"I really miss it. I don't know where the old friend is now."
Ryan thought of the Saint Cocoon. Over the years, he vaguely heard about the deeds of this saint.
Unlike the first two saints of the former Temple of Light, this third-generation saint is more keen on the struggle for power.
Saint Cocoon firmly grasped power in her own hands and transferred the center of power from the Yade royal family to the Temple of Light.
The struggle between royal power and divine power has been a shadow that has been hovering over the people of the Shia Empire in recent decades.
Under the power struggle between Saint Cocoon and Ade II, the long-corrupted Shia Empire has become more and more withered and shaky.
The lives of the people of the Shia Empire are naturally more difficult.
"The old friends of the past seem to have changed."
Thinking of what Saint Cocoon has done over the years, Ryan couldn't help but sigh.
But Ryan always has a feeling that Saint Cocoon is not obsessed with power, but is plotting something.
This feeling makes Ryan very uneasy.
This twilight empire can no longer withstand any waves.
While Ryan sighed, he put Princess Lily's portrait back to its original place, and a cold and familiar voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"I'm curious, what exactly happened that made the brave man who was indomitable back then sigh in his own home."
Ryan looked in the direction of the voice, and after seeing the appearance of the person coming clearly, he was stunned.
The Saint Maiden Jian still looked the same as Ryan remembered, dressed in white, holy and majestic, with a light white veil wrapped around her eyes, which just gave her a hint of divinity.
"Saint Maiden of Destiny-Jian, you are not old at all!"
Ryan was puzzled. Birth, aging, sickness and death are the fate that every living being cannot escape.
Even the Saint Maiden Ling, who is said to be close to perfection, cannot escape the fate of death.
Saint Jane did not answer the question of the hero Ryan. She always did this, answering questions irrelevantly: "I am here to verify and say goodbye to you." Ryan was puzzled: "Verify? What verification?" "Verify whether the legendary hero can rewrite the destined fate." Jane came to Ryan and looked down at the hero who was once extremely brave but now hunched over and lived in misery: "Unfortunately, even you can't escape the destined fate. You are just like what I said back then, you killed the devil and spent the rest of your life in regret." Saint Jane's eyes were full of pity. The world is just his pawns, and she doesn't want to let fate control her anymore. She raised her head and stared at the indescribable face that had been hanging in the sky:
"Fortunately, I succeeded and successfully got rid of His bondage."
Ryan seemed to think of something, and his face sank:
"What on earth are you talking about?!"
Saint Maiden Jian still answered the question irrelevantly: "Ryan, do you remember the story I told you?"
"The big bear killed the hunting dog, ate the snow fox, and swallowed the snow rabbit alive. I survived the disaster by relying on the food it left."
Ryan frowned slightly: "I am not interested in these old stories."
Jian ignored Ryan and continued to talk:
"You told me that you didn't see the big bear.
What I want to tell you is that there is not only no big bear, but also no snow rabbit, hunting dog and white fox.
I didn't escape the pursuit of the monster alone, but a family, a family of five
. "
The voice of the cocoon was still without any emotion, she seemed to be telling a story that had nothing to do with her.
It was just that this story seemed a little chilling.
"What exactly do you want to say?" Ryan was about to lose his patience.
"Everyone says that the saint is the silhouette of the gods in the world, holy and merciful."
The saint cocoon suddenly laughed, and then the smile on her face gradually became crazy:
"But I don't want to, He asked me to be a high and majestic saint, I want to be a female demon who disturbs the world."
"The heavenly book says that the brave will kill the devil under the guidance of the saint."
"He asked me to hunt demons, and I will save demons."
The saint cocoon approached Ryan step by step, chuckled:
"Don't you want to know the secret of my eternal youth? I'll tell you now."
As she said, the saint cocoon took out a black stone, the stone was pure black and dazzling.
"Do you know? The demon king you killed that year has hatched again, just now. "
"And you, the hero destined to kill the demon king, if you are killed by me, will the story of the hero fighting the demon king be rewritten?"
"I am really looking forward to it."
People who see their fate always want to change their fate, and this is just the first step for the Saint Maiden to change her fate.
....
At the same time, the giant wall fortress.
The long-healed crack in the alien world suddenly opened, and the next second, the earth began to shake.
The giant wall guard was attracted by the vibration sound. He looked in the direction of the loud noise and couldn't help being stunned.
Densely packed, like a mountain of monsters, are moving in the direction of the giant wall fortress in an orderly manner, and the earth is shaking with their pace.
"What is that?"
"It's a monster! The monster is active again!"
"Quick, go and tell the Temple of Light. "
However, before the defenders could finish their words, a giant foot that covered the sky and the sun suddenly stepped on the giant wall.
With a loud bang, the giant wall that had stood for 113 years collapsed.
The monsters rushed into this city that was regarded as a miracle by the world like a tide, pouring down to the south of the giant wall.
According to the Book of Light, in the spring of the 175th year of God's descent, the giant wall fortress fell, the monsters went straight into the human heartland, and the devil's calamity came.
On this day, the world finally knew what kind of monster the brave man defeated back then.
However, at this moment, the legendary brave man has fallen into an eternal sleep.
The sword of destiny also disappeared along with the saint of destiny.
The wheel of history, which had been running slowly for many years, also began to turn wildly.
