Chapter 986: Star Saint
Xuan Yi, Jiao Yue, and Xuan Er all looked at the girl who had risen from the coffin. She rubbed her eyes, her long golden hair was loose, her eyes were azure, and she was wearing a light white gauze dress. The skin is as white as milk.
Although she didn't know how long she had been sleeping in the coffin, the moment she opened her eyes, she seemed to be the awakening princess in a fairy tale.
At the same time, she also saw clearly the person in front of her.
Xuan Yi was wearing tight black clothes, Jiao Yue was wearing a long skirt, and Xuan Er was in a semi-illusory state. She frowned and looked in front of her, as if recalling everything in the past.
"Where am I? Did you wake me up?"
Xuan Yi tried hard to feel the breath and power in the other person's body, but he did not feel majestic or terrifying.
She looked like a little girl of eighteen or nineteen who had slept for a while, and the language she spoke, although her tone was pleasant, was completely incomprehensible to both Xuan Yi and Jiao Yue.
However - as long as the other party is a living creature, there is a means of communication.
Jiao Yue took a step forward: "We are the ones who woke you up, because we want to know what happened to this land."
Jiao Yue spoke in ancient Elf language.
Ancient Elvish is one of the oldest languages in the main world. It is the reason why it can communicate with all living creatures. It has magic power in itself, and the speaker's language and emotions can be felt from the language.
With a slightly surprised look on her face, she stood up from the coffin and looked around.
"Dark Blue, what time is it now?" She asked, but no one gave her an answer.
"Has it been more than ten thousand years?" She said to herself, and then looked at Jiaoyue: "I am Lucia, the Star Saint of the Eslan Empire. Thank you for awakening me."
...
... ...
The initial process of communicating with the Saint of the Star is quite difficult. Although there is a tool like Elvish that allows the other party to understand her own language, it is still very difficult to understand the Saint of the Star, even if she speaks to the other party. After using several languages she knew in succession, there was still no way to communicate in both directions. In the end, Xuanji chose to possess himself into the body of the Saint of the Stars to act as this intelligent translator, which barely solved the problem.
"So, has the Aslan Empire really perished?" Lucia said in disbelief.
They were still in this huge tomb. Lucia tried to open the warehouse where they stored food, but found that the food was already rotten.
So much so that it was difficult for Rukia to judge how long she had been sleeping.
On the contrary, Jiaoyue and Xuanyi took out food and drinks from their own black iron rings and gave them to Rukia. Because they were essentially the same, Rukia could also enjoy all the food suitable for human consumption.
Although her own body is very fragile.
"I don't know the Island Empire you are talking about." Jiaoyue said, "We are from another world." With
that said, Jiaoyue briefly introduced the situation of the main world and his identity to Rukia. As well as the discovery of the world of Hyrule, and encountering the abyss, in the end they discovered this underground base during the hunt, and entered the base by chance to awaken Rukia.
"So that's it." Lucia sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, royal power does not last forever. All great empires that have been glorious for a while will eventually fall apart and be submerged by history." "And." Lucia looked at Jiaoyue:
" I probably know the whole story, and I also know what the abyss really is." "
But this is a long story, do you want to hear it?"
No one will refuse, even Xuanji, who is familiar with this period of history. Nothing is known.
"I come from the Island Empire. The Star Saint Lucia is a priest responsible for preserving ancient knowledge. I have no powerful abilities. I only have unimaginable memory and artistic sense. I am at the top of the Island Empire. Even the emperor of the empire must perform the teacher's birth ceremony to show respect for me."
"Are you asking me how old I am? I'm afraid it's hard to calculate, but before I fell asleep in this time capsule, I just passed Twenty-third birthday."
"Well, our way of remembering is different from what you call it. I should be more of a container of knowledge." "
A precious container."
"But that's not important. ."
"First of all, the golden humans you call also exist in my concept. We call them heavenly beings or ancestors, because in the early days of the establishment of the Eslan Empire, we were those heavenly beings. The descendants derived from this world and shared their knowledge and culture, but later, the heavenly people launched a war against the gods. As punishment, they lost contact with all satellite countries, and those gods began to choose punishment The existence of these rebellions."
"And what you call the abyss, the monster we call the Destroyer, was released into our world by the gods at this time." "The
technology and power we are proud of are in the Destroyer. We were defeated step by step in front of the created monster army. In the end, we were forced to build a shelter in the sea and chose to sleep here, looking forward to the day when the war situation would turn around." "But no one thought that this war would continue
. It was so long and tragic that the empire was destroyed and we were completely forgotten."
Although Rukia said it was a long story, when she told it, the story was very brief.
and clarity. " Do you have a way to fight against the abyss
?"
Very powerful mechanical warriors, but the monsters hatched by the Destroyer are endless and more powerful. We can only retreat steadily, and because the Destroyer will eat away at our population and land, we will become weaker and weaker. It is becoming increasingly impossible to defeat them in a long-term confrontation, so this war is destined to have a sad ending from the beginning." Rukia continued.
"Concerning the nature of the abyss, we once dispatched elite squads carrying powerful weapons to perform possible beheading operations, but in the end all the squads were lost, and even the weapons they carried were eventually used on ourselves. , from that time, we began to slowly despair, because the Destroyer did not accept surrender, so we could only seek some escape routes. Some people hoped that the gods would come to rescue us after resolving the war with the gods, and some people were under the sea. Prepare a secret shelter, wait for the technology of war, preserve the fire and wait for rebirth." "
Then tens of thousands of years passed?" Jiao Yue asked calmly.
