Chapter Four Reality
The moment his little hand touched the seventh statue, the statue suddenly turned into a shadow and penetrated into Richard's body. For a moment, Richard felt that his head was on fire, and his brain was boiling. The pain that directly acted on the soul almost made him crazy, but he could not faint. A stream of ice was swimming around his body, colliding fiercely with the invisible heat that wrapped his body, making Richard feel that every inch of his body was cracking!
Richard endured hard and the tenacity and strength he had trained since childhood were revealed at this moment, and he actually insisted on all the shadows entering his body. After absorbing the last ray of shadow, Richard's spirit finally relaxed, his eyes were blurred, and the goddess's temple gradually faded away.
In the blurred vision, Richard saw his mother's beautiful and concerned face, and he finally relaxed and lost consciousness.
"I have obtained two abilities, and my mother will be proud of me!" In the floating darkness, Richard subconsciously thought.
In the attic, a clear crack appeared on the altar of the Goddess of Moon. This rare altar was actually damaged during the ceremony. Elaine was pale, and a ray of blood flowed from her lips. She was unaware of it. She just looked around Richard's whole body wildly. When she saw that his body was intact and had not been damaged, she let go of her worries. But when she found a small shadow hovering between Richard's eyebrows, her face changed drastically again.
There were lights and moonlight in the attic, and Richard was lying on his back. No matter which light source, it would leave a shadow on Richard's eyebrows. The small shadow was like fog and smoke, slowly swimming, but it could not disperse. This was a shadow that ordinary people could not distinguish, but Elaine, who still had the power of the fifth crescent moon, could see it. She trembled and reached out to touch it. A faint cold and tingling feeling came from her fingertips, which was the feeling brought by the conflict between the shadow energy and the divine power of Elucia.
"Shadow creature?!" Elaine screamed in dismay. She gritted her teeth and tapped her finger into the shadow between Richard's eyebrows again, silently chanting the prayer that had become unfamiliar in her heart. It was a magical technique that Elaine could not master back then, but at this moment her heart was already confused. In her knowledge, only this magical technique can unlock the origin of the shadow between Richard's eyebrows. Even if the hope is slim, she must give it a try.
Since she lost her identity as a high priest, she has also lost the favor of the goddess and all her magical skills. She was originally a random move in despair, but Elaine did not expect that the magical skills were unexpectedly successful.
A picture appeared in front of Elaine's eyes. It was endless nothingness and darkness, only the energy of chaos, no moon or stars at all. In the chaos, huge shadows were slowly swimming, and the seemingly chaotic trajectory finally gathered on a track, pointing directly to the clear destination in the end, that is Little Richard!
The scroll flashed away, and the brief foresight had exhausted all her strength, leaving her without even the strength to move her fingers. Even though she was full of energy, everything she saw made her feel deep despair again.
Shadow is different from darkness. It is an energy that does not exist in substance and naturally has spatial attributes. Shadow creatures have countless species, most of which wander between planes and are aimless. The chaotic energy between planes is their natural nutrients. They are cunning, dangerous and powerful, so they are also species that mages love and fear. Shadow summoning is already a very mature spell, which can be strengthened from level 6 to level 9. However, this spell has a very small chance of failure. At that time, the summoned shadow creatures will lose control, and the mage with magic is one of the most delicious foods in their eyes. Therefore, several accidents of the devouring of the shadow creatures summoned by the mages are heard on the continent every year.
The shadow entrenched in Little Richard's eyebrows has signs of life, but is not a complete life body. The shadow energy it contains is not strong, and only an ordinary priest can purify it. Its function is actually similar to a lighthouse, which determines a position in the infinitely complex plane universe and summons a large group of shadow lives to enter this plane. This is exactly what Elaine saw in her foresee. Now, it is too late to erase and purify this shadow. The terrifying group of shadow lives have obtained the coordinates and has set off.
And Little Richard is the coordinates and anchors they enter this plane.
When a large group of shadow creatures begin to impact the plane, Little Richard has only two possible endings, either being destroyed by a violent energy conflict, or else being possessed by the most powerful shadow creature and losing control of his body forever. At that time, he will become a container for the shadow creature race.
No one can tell the laws between planes. Crossing shadow creatures may take hundreds of years to complete the journey, or they may reach the end in a month.
"How could this happen..." Elaine hugged Richard and murmured to herself, tears could no longer be held back, and shedded rustling down.
She suddenly looked up and looked at the fifth crescent moon that was still hanging high in the starry sky through the sky. She happened to see a trace on the moon surface, like dry blood. It turned out that the power of the crescent moon had changed, which led to the change of the ritual of enlightenment. But if she was still Elucia's high priest, enlightenment would not have changed.
Is this Elucia's punishment?
Elaine thought bitterly, she had no strength to complain about fate or complain about herself. She hugged Richard downstairs, then put him carefully on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Richard frowned slightly in her sleep, but smiled from time to time, obviously dreaming of many happy things. He was a very beautiful boy, and his little face had just begun to fade away his childishness, and he was already a little handsome and handsome. Elaine stared at her child quietly. This was her ten years of life.
All center of gravity. Although for her who has a long life, ten years are just a short time, now it is as long as a lifetime. Little Richard grows very quickly, but is a little immature than human boys of the same age. This is just because of blood. Richard, who has half the bloodline of the Silver Moon Elf, also has a natural life of nearly five hundred years. His appearance also combines the two characteristics of roughness, hardness and delicate beauty of the Silver Moon Elf. Only Elaine knows why.
On Richard's little face, the small shadow was still hovering and playing.
Elaine sighed softly, kissed Richard gently on the forehead and left the room. She sat down alone in the living room, staring at the night sky, and the past flowed through her heart like water. Those nights almost condensed the intensity, hatred and love in her entire life! And now, she had to think about it again.
Outside the window, the blood-stained fifth crescent moon quietly moved away, and the sixth crescent moon shining with a unique golden light had already risen. When the seventh crescent moon emerged from the horizon, it was time for the sky to be bright.
The light of the seventh-string moon finally shone into the window and shone on Elaine's face. She became much haggard and beautiful. The mirror on the wall reflected an extremely beautiful figure. This is her original appearance. For ten years, she has almost forgotten this face. This is the charm that only the Silver Moon Elf can possess.
She stood up, carefully took out a magic paper covered with star patterns and spread it on the table. She took out a well-sealed magic pen and checked it. Fortunately, the ink mana preserved in the magic pen made of griffin tail feathers is still there. This is ink made of unicorn blood. Although there are only a few drops, the letter she wants to write is not long, just enough.
However, the originally light quill pen weighed tens of millions of pounds in her hand. After holding it for a long time, she couldn't even write a word. When the front line of sunlight shone into the window, she smiled and whispered to herself: "The person who can destroy the Elf King's Court should be able to deal with the life of the shadows, let alone another ten years have passed..."
Finally convinced herself, she began to draw an exquisite magic circle on the top of the star pattern paper, and then wrote down a long name:
Gotton Isia Setanistolia Archmond...
The moment the name was written, the magic pen suddenly vibrated, and the entire name under the tip of the pen began to shine, ejecting a faint red light, like a burning flame. When the flames were extinguished, the long name was left with only the almost invisible mark. Although the mark was light, it was deeply imprinted on the star pattern paper. Unless this precious star pattern paper was completely destroyed, the mark could be removed. As a former high priest, she was actually deeply aware of the secrets of blood. The burning flames mean that the name written with magic has touched the law and has been perceived by the owner of the name. Then, everything she wrote will be transmitted across numerous time and space and directly to the owner of the name.
The magic pen stopped in the air again, and her hands holding the pen were trembling slightly. The sign just now also showed a fact, that is, this is indeed Geden's real name. Although she had never doubted it in recent years, it was confirmed for the first time. With the advantage of mastering the real name, she only had to consume a small amount of magic to cast the most vicious curse on him. Even though Geden is already a legendary strongman, she was unable to resist the curse. The real name was originally the most important secret of some bloodlines.
This guy would tell others his real name casually...
She couldn't help but thought, but some emotion was replaced by a large burning forest in her memory. Her hands became very cold, but no longer trembled. She described what she wanted to say in just a few lines of words, and then it was time to sign. She hesitated for a moment, and finally wrote down her name in elegant fonts:
Elanni. Yuege.
The star-patterned paper burned violently and turned into ashes in a blink of an eye. The information recorded on the paper has been passed to the distance through ancient and mysterious laws.
