Chapter 1278 – Horn of Disaster
”[Galar]?”
An Qingyu’s eyes flashed with a grayish intent, seemingly parsing this divine artifact in front of her, while Cao Yuan on the side continued to ask, “What’s the use of this thing?”
”Besides [Galar], it has another name.” The knight paused, and spoke in a deep voice
”The Horn of Disaster.”
Looking at the puzzled look in the eyes of the crowd, the knight continued:
”Legend has it that whenever the [Galar]’s horn sounds, every inch of land covered by the spread of the sound will set off a devastating catastrophe …… even if it’s a Divine Kingdom.”
”Are you saying that as long as one enters Asgard and blows this horn, a devastating disaster will descend upon the Nordic God Kingdom?” Anqing Yu pondered for a moment, “I have a question.”
”You say.”
”Is this so-called ‘devastating catastrophe’ purely caused by the horn, or does it already exist objectively?” An Qingyu seemed to feel that asking this question was a bit vague, and once again added, “For example, if I blow this horn, and a tsunami floods the city, is this tsunami appearing purely because of the horn’s sound, or is it appearing because it was already close above the sea, only that it happened to flood the city at the time of the horn’s sound?”
”…… don’t know.” The knight spoke helplessly, “The principle of [Galar] has always been a mystery that even the Supreme God cannot solve.
But I’ve heard a saying that [Galar] is the voice of fate, every time it blows, every time it disappears, it’s a fated trajectory ……
The one who blows it is not a man, or a god, but fate itself.”
”So, you want to rely on this artifact to set off a disaster within Asgard, and then take advantage of the chaos to save Seven Nights and Remembrance?” An Qingyu pondered for a moment and shook his head, “This is too risky, we can’t predict what it will set off, what kind of disaster it will be, and we don’t know the size of the disaster …… If the disaster is too big, it will involve us as well, and if the disaster is too small, it won’t be able to hold all of the Nordic Gods.
It’s a gamble.”
The knight gazed into An Qingyu’s eyes in silence for a long time before letting out a long sigh:
”You are right, it is a gamble, but so what?
Every member of the Upper Evil Society here knows how dangerous it is, but we have no choice …… You may not be clear about what the Chairman really means to our Upper Evil Society, or even the entire [Utopia].
Even if there is only a one in a thousand chance, we still have to gamble! We, absolutely, cannot lose the Chairman!
Even if by the time we arrive, everything will already be too late …… We want the entire Asgard, to give the Chairman a burial!”
The knight’s eyes were filled with determination and madness, and Anqing Yu and the others were stunned in place.
The knight took a deep breath and slowly spoke:
”I’m sorry, I know my plan is risky, so I won’t ask you guys to move with us.
I’ve already had someone prepare a pixel speedboat, which should have enough fuel for you guys to drive all the way back to Daxia, and if we rescue Lin Qiye and the chairman, we’ll be sure to send a message to you guys at the first opportunity ……
Let’s, for now, bid farewell.”
”Wait.”
Baili Chubby suddenly spoke up and called out to the knights who were ready to leave.
The four of them, An Qingyu, Cao Yuan, Jiang Er, and Baili Fatty looked at each other and smiled at the same time.
”I’m just saying that this plan is a bit risky, I’m not saying that we won’t participate.” An Qingyu said seriously, “Your Upper Evil Society can’t live without Memorial, and our [Night Curtain] squad, we can’t live without Lin Qiye either.
Daxia, Misty, Border, Heaven, Hell …… how many times have we barged through life and death together, do we still care about this adventure?”
”Then you guys ……”
”Even if it’s gambling, it’s still possible to lean on calculation and layout to improve the odds of winning.” An Qingyu pushed his glasses and spoke calmly, “Right now I don’t know much about Asgard and the ‘human circle’, let’s make a finer plan after we enter.”
The knight watched them for a long time, and the corner of his mouth curled into a smile.
”Good, then let’s enter the ‘Circle of Man’ first!”
Baili Chubby looked around the window, “But where is the entrance to the ‘Circle of Man’? Do we also have to sink into the sea first, just like in the High Heavenly Plains?”
”Asgard’s ‘Circle of Man’ is not quite the same, you guys follow me.”
The knight led Anqing Yu and the others, quickly walking out of the deck, and all the members of the Upper Evil Society had already collected their traveling clothes and followed closely behind them.
The Pixel Cruise gradually docked at the edge of an island, the outline of a huge mountain peak looming from the mist.
”Please open the way.” The knight walked up to the four figures wearing different masks and spoke respectfully.
As the words fell, one of the figures wearing a weeping face mask raised his arm and pointed in the air, and the seawater below the cruise ship seemed to be scooped up by an invisible giant hand, violently rolling up onto the deck, constantly compressing and stacking, forming a long corridor of heavy water that spanned across the island and led straight to the top of the mountain peak.
Without the slightest hesitation, the remaining three envoys stepped onto the heavy water corridor and swept towards the top of the mountain peak in the mist at an astonishing speed.
Baili Chubby and the others exchanged glances at the envoys and followed closely behind!
Asgard.
Si Xiaonan’s eyelashes fluttered gently, and after a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.
The first thing that entered her eyes was a pale ceiling, her lax pupils were stagnant for a moment, as if she hadn’t yet figured out why she was here, and right at that moment, a figure came from the side.
”You’re awake?”
The instant she heard this voice, Si Xiaonan instinctively bounced up from the bed, a dagger sliding into her palm, lightning-like pointing in the direction the voice came from, her expression stern and incomparable, like a frightened wildcat.
The blade that flickered with a sharp cold aura was pressed straight against the front of Lin Qiye’s throat, and the latter’s figure instantly stopped in place.
Seeing this face, Si Xiaonan was blankly stunned.
She finally returned to her senses and immediately retracted the dagger, somewhat stammering as she opened her mouth, “Yes …… sorry ……”
Lin Qiye looked at her with complex eyes and pointed at her abdomen:
”Your wound ripped open.”
Only then did Si Xiaonan feel that a sharp pain was coming from her abdomen, just now her movements were too large and tore open all the bandaged wounds.
”Lie down, let’s re-bandage it for you once more.” Lin Qiye looked at Si Xiaonan who clenched her teeth and didn’t say a word, and spoke helplessly.
”That, Seven Nights, I can bandage it myself.”
”Aren’t you clear about how badly you’re hurt yourself?” Lin Qiye shook his head, “Don’t worry, it’s not me bandaging you, it’s it.”
Lin Qiye stretched out his hand and pointed at his feet.
One could only see a dull little mummy that was clinging onto Lin Qiye’s thigh, and at this moment, when it heard Lin Qiye call out to it, it tilted its head in some confusion.
