Chapter 250 begins to reveal the answers (3k)
After these extremely contrasting words were spoken, everyone was stunned.
After a moment, they laughed softly.
A good one needs extra money.
But it is true, after all, it is a new dragon species that was born at the cost of being cursed.
"Okay, we promise. How much do you want?"
The dragon did not speak, but looked at one of the six Roman angels with his huge vertical pupils.
Everyone followed her gaze and saw one of the seven dwarven rings that had never been hidden.
This ring is the least useful and most useful of the seven dwarven rings.
Because it is a ring of rock, it has no combat capabilities, but it can allow the holder to see the direction of underground mineral veins.
It is a ring that Sauron made specifically for the dwarves.
Unfortunately, the dwarf lord who held this ring not only failed to use it to make his own tribe prosperous, but he became more and more greedy and tyrannical, and finally lost the underground kingdom he had worked so hard to build and his life.
It is normal that a dragon, cursed to be more greedy than a dwarf, would covet this ring.
After a brief thought, the other party nodded directly:
"I promise."
"Then I want it now!"
The dragon's voice clearly revealed urgency.
But the other party just said seriously:
"Rome's crisis is not over yet."
The dragon also refused to give in.
"I always take the money first and then do the work!"
After raising an eyebrow slightly, the angel took off his ring.
This ring only allows him to see the direction of the mineral vein, but it cannot guide him to find the mineral he wants.
With this essential difference, the ring is not so attractive.
"It's yours. I hope you can keep your promise."
After finally getting the legendary Seven Rings of the Dwarves, the dragon showed an expression of incomparable satisfaction and joy on its face, which should have been expressionless, just like a human.
"Don't worry, I'm a dragon, and I have my own pride."
What’s strange is that this dragon, which is said to be the strongest after the Age of Gods, did not put it away, but held it in its mouth.
Although it is understandable, after all, there are very few people who dare to snatch food from the dragon's mouth, but this is really a bit indecent.
At least it is not in line with His status and pride, and it easily reminds people of a dog being fed.
But it doesn't matter, it's just a small episode.
What’s important is that the strongest dragon species since the Age of Gods is on their side.
The Roman angels looked at the messengers seriously and said:
"So, we should prepare to fight back!"
-
The fall of Rome continued, and there was still no sign of Rome's counterattack.
The Army of Honor was advancing almost non-stop to take over more cities.
Quintus and others were arranged by Moon to transport a large amount of food and supplies to the memorial temple.
Looking at the endless stream of airships and carriages.
Quintus, holding a pile of documents, couldn't help but ask Moon:
"My Lord, what are you going to do? Is it just in case?"
He heard that the Romans did not give up, but instead gathered a large number of outsiders to prepare for a counterattack.
He thought that Augustus raised these funds in order to avoid having insufficient supplies in the event of a protracted war.
Moen also said seriously:
"Yeah, just in case."
Quintus comforted:
"Sir, our current situation is very good, it shouldn't come to that."
"It's not for this, Quintus. It's for this continent."
"grown ups?"
Quintus found that he could not quite understand what Augustus meant.
Moon did not hide it this time, but said:
"The Romans can't win. Even if they find so-called allies, they can't beat me. This is obvious. They are still resisting, but they think they still have a chance."
When the Romans arrive triumphantly with their allies, Moon will let them know what a surprise is.
So Moon did not prepare these to counter the Roman counterattack.
"So, sir, what are you preparing all this for?"
Moen sighed and said:
"Be prepared for a judgment that is bound to happen, and be prepared for a nightmare that I don't know if it will happen."
Quintus said a little embarrassedly:
"Sir. I am only a mortal, so could you please tell me more details?"
Moen explained:
"The Old World is the place where demons are most likely to appear, but over the past three eras, this is the place where the least demons have appeared. So I think they will be here soon."
Moon didn't say anything more, but Quintus knew instantly that this must be true.
Because as Moon said, the Old World is the place where demons are most likely to appear.
So after three eras, it’s time for something big to happen, and such a big event as the return of Augustus will obviously be a huge trigger.
Quintus asked subconsciously:
"Is there anything you can do to stop it?"
Preventing the devil from appearing in the world is the first reaction of every normal person.
But after a moment's silence, Moon said:
"I can't stop it, and I don't intend to stop it." "Why?"
Quintus wanted to ask why, but immediately he saw the pit of corpses that had not been completely buried.
It was full of slave owners and betrayers.
After three eras of accumulation, this continent has long become a nameless but real abyss.
Moon's voice also sounded at this time:
"An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. So, let the abyss itself be responsible for ending the abyss."
Quintus was slightly stunned, then lowered his head and said:
"You are quite right, my lord."
But Quintus didn't notice that Moon seemed to have only answered half of his sentence.
-
The witches and Abyss Watchers who had been attacking slave factories along the coastline had now separated.
The Abyssal Watchers continue to raid and rescue slaves along the coast.
But the Witch of Redemption herself has already penetrated deep into the heart of the Pompeii Roman Empire.
Here, she could even see the ancient city of Pompeii, which was built on a dead volcano, from afar.
That was also the source of evil for the entire Pompeii Roman Empire.
The witch really wanted to teach Pompeii a lesson.
But in the end she held back, because from the very beginning she came here for something more important.
Rescuing the suffering slaves was just a secondary matter.
She is the last relic that Constantine left to the world, and she must shoulder everything that Constantine had.
The place where she was now was a canyon formed by the drying up of a river.
The pebbles that were once formed by the impact of flowing water have now long since weathered and been buried in the sand.
After walking forward for several hundred meters, following the direction of the sun, the witch suddenly stopped.
She turned and looked behind her.
After a while, the knight who had appeared in Quiga also appeared behind her.
The other party raised his hand and said:
"I didn't mean to follow you. We were just worried about you, so we asked me to come here. After all, you came here without saying anything."
The witch lowered her eyes slightly and said:
"I want you to leave. This is a journey I should walk alone."
The knight said very seriously:
"Unless you tell me what you are going to do, I will never leave. You know what I am good at. Since I can find the deepest hidden demon, I can find you too."
As he was talking, he took a few steps forward, pointed at the witch and said:
"Do you know how abnormal your condition has been these past few days? You scared us! We have never seen you like this before!"
"We are companions. We have worked together on the same front for thousands of years. Some of us have even known you for thousands of years."
They and the witch have been holding on in the Forsaken Land until now. Although groups of people have changed, many people have remained rooted there.
Constantine has always been proud to monitor and fight against the abyss.
So as comrades who have been together for countless years, they are very clear that the witch has been in a very bad state in recent days.
Especially when someone jokingly said:
'She's becoming more and more like a widow now.'
This sentence woke them up instantly.
The witch used to say that she was the last relic left by the saint.
But she had never been so sad or calm before.
"So, tell me what you're going to do."
The witch remained silent.
The knight lowered his head helplessly and said:
"Over the thousands of years, we have lost too many comrades. Some of them dedicated their lives, some completed their missions, and some unfortunately left us."
"We will soon see the dawn. Don't let us lose our longest-serving friend at the last moment!"
After hearing the last sentence, the witch who was about to disappear from the knight's side finally stayed where she was.
And opened his mouth:
"The prophet can only predict the future and then arrange everything according to the prophecy. Whether it is the first eldest son or the two successors who came later, they can only see and know."
"So what does the prophet have to do with you being here?"
The witch continued without pause:
"But it is said that at the beginning of creation, there was a being who spoke the future."
The witch raised her head and said to the other party in disbelief:
“For whatever He says, He will bring to pass.”
The knight came to his senses and asked seriously:
"What did He say?"
The witch took out a polyhedron from her black evening dress. The mysterious polyhedron, originally earthy yellow and opaque, became transparent and colorful when it came into contact with sunlight.
And countless rays of light are diffracted from the facets.
As the witch raised it to a special angle in her constant attempts.
The scattering becomes a straight line.
This light is direction and guidance.
Look in the direction the light is pointing.
The witch continued:
"Since the death of Augustus, the Old World has begun to evolve towards hell. This should be a carnival place for demons."
"But over the past three eras, the Old Continent has been the continent with the fewest demons. According to available data, the demons that appeared in the Old Continent all came from other places."
"That is to say, the Old World has never had a demon appear on its own."
“And this is the answer.”
