Chapter 152 Hyacinth 4
The selection of heroes has been held for a month. The task of finding the boulder that Zhao Xi and his friends had inquired about is actually the final part of the selection of heroes.
"But compared with the various life-and-death struggles that preceded it, this final looks very simple." Zhao Xi stood in front of the window sill and said to the cat lying beside him with some confusion.
They had finished a day's journey and found a pub to stay in.
Of course, Seran still didn't show up, but Zhao Xi used magic to send him a message and told him his location.
At night, Zhao Xi couldn't sleep, so he went to the window and discussed with the cat.
1314 knew better: "No, it's not that simple at all."
It tried to explain in a way that Zhao Xi could understand: "Your power comes from faith. The more people who truly believe in the goddess, the stronger your power will be."
"And the statues are the medium through which you accept faith. They have been baptized by divine power and have long since transcended the scope of ordinary stone statues."
Zhao Xi understood a little: "So, even if they want to replace my statue, it won't be easy?"
"It's not just easy, it should be as difficult as ascending to heaven!" 1314 opened his cat eyes wide and said seriously: "You know, the statue of the goddess standing in Triumph City now has existed since the first hero."
"The statue of the goddess is the living history of Triumph City."
1314 said reluctantly, "So, they specifically targeted the goddess statue, and they are also targeting you."
Zhao Xi understood completely that toppling the statue was like telling the goddess: I will sever your faith.
After understanding the reason, both the man and the cat fell silent.
1314 doesn’t know how to comfort the host. Because of amnesia, Zhao Xi truly believes that she is a goddess, and has been working hard to be a good goddess.
However, her followers were about to abandon her.
"Forget it, don't think too much, Mao'er. No matter what, I will always solve Yongye's problem." Zhao Xi touched Mao'er's head and said gently, "I don't need anyone to beg me. I just want to do it."
1314 Looking at the host in front of him, the change brought by the golden hair and eyes to her face made her look more holy.
However, 1314 feels that she does not need the blessing of hair and eyes. Even if the host still has black hair and black eyes, she can still give people the feeling of a god.
Because things that come from the soul will not change easily.
"Tomorrow is the time for the final selection. It seems that we have come at the right time and can also witness the birth of a new hero." Zhao Xi said jokingly.
"That's not a hero."
Seeing the cat wagging its tail in a bad mood, Zhao Xi took it into his arms and walked into the room, saying, "Okay, don't be angry anymore, let's go to bed."
It was also here that the gentle moonlight flowed like water on the wall tiles, and was gradually interrupted by a figure.
I saw Seran standing alone on the roof, his silver hair seemed to blend into the moonlight, his bloodstained cloak was flying, and his emerald green eyes were deep.
Only the sword held tightly in his hand emitted a ray of sacred golden light.
------
The next day, the three of them came to the Statue Square together.
Since the goal is to topple the statue of the goddess, the selection location should naturally be under the statue.
Coincidentally, the location of the goddess statue is the largest square in Triumph City, and many important public affairs of Triumph City are carried out under the witness of the goddess.
So it is not an exaggeration to say that today's scene changed history.
The square was surrounded by people and there was no way to get in or out. Fortunately, they found a good spot.
Zhao Xi held the cat, with Selan and Yuliu sitting on either side of her.
The selection site was in the center of the square, where many candidates had gathered in groups of three or five. On the high platform covered with scarlet plush carpet were the seats of the king and important ministers of the Kingdom of Boas.
"Well, it looks like there are not only humans here, people from other races have also come to join in the fun." Zhao Xi said after watching for a while.
There are a total of six races in the Yatala continent, among which humans are the largest, followed by orcs. Elves are special because they also have a branch called dwarves.
The rarest are the Celestials, who are said to live closest to the Goddess.
The demons were already wiped out by the first hero.
Yuliu was very angry: "Damn it, these traitors to the goddess!"
Not really... Zhao Xi comforted Yuliu with a smile.
Maybe because Yuliu grew up alone and isolated from the rest of the world, he didn't feel like he did anything wrong when he said a lot of things.
Zhao Xi took out bread to stuff his mouth.
After leaving the forest, Julius accepted food other than flowers, but he still refused to accept meat.
Zhao Xi was holding the bread and felt a gaze from the side.
She turned her head and saw Sailan looking away. Zhao Xi looked around again, but no one was looking at her.
Zhao Xi lowered his head and started eating bread again, and his gaze returned.
This time she looked up suddenly and finally caught the murderer.
Looking directly into those green eyes, Zhao Xi narrowed her eyes and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
She raised the bread in her hand and said, "This is the last piece."
So not for you.
Sailan looked away. Zhao Xi always felt that his attitude was strange. The way he looked at her seemed as if he was observing something.
Feeling the gaze once again, Zhao Xi could no longer bear it and turned Sailan's head with both hands, staring into his eyes and said, "Look if you want to, don't hide!"
The alert silver cat suddenly approaches you cautiously, hiding and observing you, and when it is discovered, it pretends that nothing happened. This sense of déjà vu is really strong!
Seran's eyes widened slightly, his green pupils shrank, revealing the ferocity of a predator.
But he didn't do anything, he just stood there stiffly.
When Zhao Xi was about to ask why he kept looking at her, the corner of her clothes was pulled. She turned around and saw Yuliu: "Don't be outside."
Don't be outside what?
Before Zhao Xi could figure it out, Yuliu said, "The selection is about to begin."
Zhao Xi's attention returned to the center of the square, and he naturally put down his hand that was holding Sailan's cheek.
The girl's palms were warm and soft, not cold and stiff like a corpse.
Seran closed his eyes slightly, and the speculation lingering in his mind seemed to be closer.
And on the stage, the king finally waited for his eldest sister.
Tilda arrived late, and King Galen said excitedly: "Hurry up and start, sister. I can't wait to see my statue standing here."
"Hahaha, I am the supreme king, even goddesses have to give way to me!" He said happily, but he didn't notice Tilda's pale and ugly face at all.
Tilda looked at him with disgust. She had always looked down on this extremely stupid brother who only knew how to spend his time in debauchery.
If she could inherit the throne, how could she let such a waste sit on the throne.
But now, she was not in the mood to stop Garen. Her hands hidden in her wide feather sleeves were still trembling slightly.
The reason why Tilda was late was because something happened to Chrom.
It was Krom's disciple who discovered this. He went to the observatory to find his teacher as usual, and saw Krom lying on the ground covered in blood, with his hands and feet chopped off, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive.
When Tilda heard the news, she accidentally knocked over her teacup.
As she rushed over, she kept comforting herself, thinking that maybe it was the temple that did it, and that Planche was trying to stop the selection.
But when Tilda saw the disappearing sword of Modix, all her hopes were gone.
Because what Krom was holding was Mitchell's sword.
