73. Set Off to the Hometown of Order (1/2)

Rhine and Hella, after spending a colorful month in the monastery.

The monks who recalled the Pure Land finally sent a piece of good news to Rhine.

"Your Highness Rhine, you have completed the first test of recalling the Pure Land. During this month of practice, you have perfectly maintained the purity of your heart. Now your soul has returned to tranquility. Degeneration and corruption have left you. You have After passing the sacred test in the lake, we will now allow you to meet and recall the saint of the Pure Land - the Giant of the Lake."

then,

After paying another golden prop as a ticket, Rhine finally had the opportunity to meet the Giant of the Lake.

The ceremony to summon the Giant of the Lake is held that night.

The monks took Rhine to the lake next to the monastery.

In fact, this monastery and these monks are just unwarranted interruptions by a group of mortals from the world.

Only this lake is the real "pure land of memories".

Here, the monks began the ritual of summoning the sacred within the lake.

Under the bright moon, almost all members of the monastery were mobilized. In the quiet night, they softly chanted the true name of a certain saint, set up altars, prepared sacrifices, and used spells to transmit their voices to the surface of the lake.

They are using their own methods to get in touch with the wise saints under the Lake of Memories.

Theoretically,

The Giant of the Lake is a sacred being that recalls the Pure Land. It is not something anyone can see if they want to.

But Rhine is a special case.

As the prince of the Haine Empire, he had a noble and distinguished status. If he could visit the Pure Land of Reminiscence, he must have obtained some information that tempted him.

Therefore, the monks acquiesced that this noble man must have brought a forbidden soldier to visit the Pure Land for the sake of the Giant of the Lake.

the reason is simple,

The Giant of the Lake has an extremely alluring ability.

The Giant of the Lake has infinite wisdom, knows history, and has insight into the future. When a mortal has withstood the test of the Giant, the Giant can answer any of his questions.

no doubt,

The Prince of Rhine came for this purpose.

Unfortunately, the monks were only half correct.

Rhine did come for the Giant of the Lake, but he had no questions to ask the Giant.

The long ceremony lasted for a full three hours.

Under the quiet lake water, ripples finally appeared,

then,

Along with a soft light, mist began to fill the lake.

A tall figure nearly three meters tall gradually emerged from the mist. He stood quietly in the center of the Lake of Memories, looking at the mortals on the other side of the lake.

"Your Highness, the Sacred Lake has responded to your request. Go see him and accept his final test."

After the monk finished speaking, he pointed to the small boat prepared for Rhine and heading to the middle of the lake.

However, Rhine did not take the boat, because Hela had already raised her hand and formed a crystal bridge on the water of Rhine Lake.

Lain looked at Hela tenderly: "Hela, do you remember what I said to you?"

"Um."

Hela nodded slightly: "I will block my perception. I will not eavesdrop on the next conversation between His Highness and the giant."

After explaining to Hela, Rhine walked towards the crystal bridge leading to the Giant of the Lake.

Under the encouraging gazes of hundreds of monks who recalled the Pure Land,

Rhine is about to complete the final part of the ceremony,

Be tested by the Giant of the Lake.

In fact, the lake giant in front of Rhine is completely different from the Titan he encountered in the Golden Land before.

Compared with Titans that can be made into EVA by dwarves, and 50/50 with Sacred Abyss.

The giant of the lake is too small.

But it doesn't matter,

The so-called Giant of the Lake is nothing more than the personified image of the lake at the feet of the Rhine, this lake of memories.

His size is meaningless.

At the end of the Crystal Bridge,

Rhine finally saw the true face of the giant in the fog.

The image of the Giant of the Lake is an enlarged mortal old man with a kind face and kind eyes. He showed a friendly smile to Rhine.

"Hello, guest visiting the Pure Land of Reminiscence."

The giant of the lake had a gentle voice:

"I would venture to mention that I feel the aura of depravity from your body. Are you blessed by the God of the Nether Realm?"

Rhine nodded and admitted generously: "My Forbidden Army and I stopped an invasion of the Gospel Blood Riders in the Golden Land last month, and then it seemed that... I received some unnecessary protection at that time."

"Golden Land...that's what it is."

Giant of the Lake: "So, you came to me to find a way to remove the blessing of the Nether Realm?"

Rhine: "No, but if this corruption makes you uncomfortable, you can temporarily seal it first."

Giant of the Lake: "It is indeed difficult for me to resist the corruption of the netherworld. Thank you for your consideration."

The giant expressed his gratitude to Rhine,

Then, under the guidance of the giant, the Lake of Memories established a connection with Rhine, and instantly absorbed all the corruption of the netherworld from Rhine.

Enzhu's dragon eyes and Enzhu's blood eyes were quickly extinguished.

The two gates to the netherworld in Rhine's eyes were temporarily suppressed.

The giant of the lake continued:

"If you want me to answer your question, then you need to withstand my test first and drink the lake of memories. You will have no secrets in my eyes. If your soul can withstand my scrutiny, then I Will answer your three questions - answer everything you want to know."

Rhine: "No problem,"

then,

On the quiet lake, a solid ball of water floated into Rhine's hand.

Rhine took up the lake water and drank it.

Rhine: "Then, be prepared mentally - to return to the light."

"Okay...huh?"

The giant of the lake was stunned.

Did this person just now... tell me my real name?

As Rhine drank the lake water of memories,

The final ceremony finally begins.

Rhine established a connection with the minds of the Lake Giant, and Rhine's soul was fully revealed in front of the Lake Giant.

Rhine's memories were continuously poured into the mind of the Lake Giant - the Holy Spirit of memories began to examine this confused soul who longed for guidance.

The monks on the lake shore watched the ceremony nervously.

In fact, the monks who recalled the Pure Land had a good impression of this generous guest from Rhine. After all, he gave too much.

I just don’t know whether this guest, after paying the price of two golden items, can withstand the test of the Lake Giant and achieve his wish.

A monk said to Hela: "Your Majesty the Forbidden Army, His Highness Rhine will bear some pressure under the gaze of the Lake Giant, which will make him very painful, but please don't be nervous, it will never hurt him."

However, Hela ignored him.

Although Hela has been tamed by Rhine, she still has the same bad attitude towards mortals except Rhine, so arrogant that she no longer treats them as the same kind.

Ignoring the noise of ants in my ears,

Hela concentrated on admiring her lover's charming back.

She must take advantage of now to take a few more glances at her beloved His Highness Rhine...because the day after tomorrow, her vacation in the imperial capital will be over.

the other side,

As the ceremony began, from the center of the Lake of Memories, a howling like a slaughtering pig was heard unexpectedly.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

An old voice screamed and asked incoherently.

"It hurts!! My soul... is about to burst!!! So many memories! Why are there so many! Why are there so many things in your mind!!!"

"Wait, what kind of memory is that?! No...impossible!! How could our world...be...ahhhhhh!!!"

Compared with previous ceremonies,

The screams of those being tested today were particularly harsh and painful! It broke our hearts! !

The monks closed their eyes helplessly... But wait? !

The monks were suddenly startled,

This scream doesn't sound like Rhine Hein's voice!

On the contrary, it looks very much like the Giant of the Lake? !

The monks quickly opened their eyes, stuck their heads out with all their strength, and even activated the spell to enhance vision, trying their best to look towards the center of the lake!

Looking through the thick fog,

They saw the great and wise giant of the lake, screaming and covering his head, twisting into a maggot on the lake! !

Giant of the Lake: "Ahhhhhhh! It hurts so much! Stop!! I beg you!!!"

what's the situation? !

The guy who is currently suffering from the pain of his soul being torn apart and screaming in agony as he collapses is actually the Giant of the Lake? !

But Rhine looked calm, watching the giant of the lake twitching in pain - as if he was the tester,

The monks' heads were full of questions, and their faces were twitching wildly in shock.

The screams of the lake giant still echoed in the clear lake of memories.

A few minutes later...

The shrill screams finally stopped,

The brutal torture finally ended. The giant of the lake trembled, barely supporting its collapsed body, and climbed up from the lake...

The Giant of the Lake seemed to be broken. His eyes were moving around and it was difficult to focus.

finally……

I don’t know how long it took,

The Giant of the Lake finally regains some sanity

The way he looked at Rhine now was filled with endless fear.

The giant of the lake stepped back timidly: "You, you..."

Rhine showed a kind smile:

"You have read my memories, but you have not gone crazy. You have done a good job. Now you can get my reward - Huiguang. I can answer three questions for you."

The Giant of the Lake's voice was trembling and his eyes were timid: "Okay, okay...I want to know...who you are..."

Rhine gave the answer calmly: "The prisoner trapped in this world that is approaching the end of the world should be regarded as the savior according to the setting."

The body of the Giant of the Lake was still trembling: "I have seen your memories, and I simply can't imagine... It turns out that there are such great martyrs like you in this world. You have so many painful memories engraved in your soul. You must have experienced many failures..."

Rhine looked calm: "Too many...but this is the last time. This time I plan to use a gentle solution. So far, the effect is good - second question."

As a saint who can answer questions in the minds of mortal beings, the Giant of the Lake is boasted by the monks as a wise man who knows all the knowledge of the world.

But that's too much.

As a conscious lake, the Giant of the Lake does know many things through the dark rivers of spiritual veins that connect all parts of the mortal world, but it is far from reaching the state of "omniscient".

But now, the Giant of the Lake really has a question and is eager to get an answer.

Giant of the Lake: "I wonder...when will the end come to me."

Rhine gave the answer simply and neatly: "About ten years later, when the original gods return."

Giant of the Lake: "You mean the original sequence? Was I killed by the original sequence?"

Rhine: "No, it will be Order who kills you. Order will not let the Original Sequence have another chance to invade this world. She will kill all existences that are causally connected with the Original Sequence. Unfortunately, you are one of them."

The Giant of the Lake asked in confusion: "But I only know the name of the original sequence. I have no connection with those gods."

Rhine: "So do a lot of people."

"What a tragedy..."

The giant of the lake sighed feebly:

"Then I have one last question. I also want to know how I can escape from this nightmarish truth... They linger in my mind, things I shouldn't know... It makes I'm in so much pain..."

"Your soul exists in the lake and concentrates these bad memories in an area. I will ask the Imperial Army to clean them up when I leave."

Lain said lightly: "Don't worry, even if you want to keep some memories, it's impossible for you to keep them - Hui Guang, I have confessed everything to you, and now I hope to get your help."

Giant of the Lake: "So, dear savior...what do you want from me?"

Rhine nodded: "I came to visit you because I want to get an answer."

Rhine said: "I want to know how to split the soul of a god."

Giant of the Lake: "Which god is it?"

Rhine: "The strongest one."

Giant of the Lake: "..."

The Giant of the Lake was silent for a moment, sighed and said: "I believe that you are not here to get the method, but you already know that I have a tool that can help you complete this task, right?"

Rhine smiled: "Can you leave it to me?"

Giant of the Lake: "Of course...although that thing is of great value to me, it was only something I got accidentally in my early years. I have no right to possess it..."

next moment,

The lake of memories began to surge, and the lake water wrapped around a crystal and tremblingly delivered it to Rhine.

Giant of the Lake: "Please take it."

Giant of the Lake: "This is a beacon."

Giant of the Lake: "It can guide you to the home of order."

A golden crystal block fell into Rhine's hands.

Rhine smiled: "Thank you - by the way, I also want to park my car here, I don't know if it is possible."

The Giant of the Lake nodded repeatedly: "No problem, I will give you all the assistance you need, Your Highness Rhine, after all... you took the crystal, so if you really want to take action against that god, I might not You can save a life in the future, right?"

Rhine smiled: "Yes."

The soul of the Lake Giant was in chaos, ravaged by Rhine's memory. Now he just wanted to quickly ask Rhine's imperial army to destroy the water bodies polluted by forbidden knowledge.

Rhine granted his wish.

Hela's forbidden spell annihilated a large area of ​​lake water polluted by memory.

Next, Rhine made an agreement with the Giant of the Lake,

The Golden Land will arrive at the Pure Land of Memories soon, and quietly sneak into the Lake of Memories to hibernate.

Then wait quietly for Rhine's call.

Next, Rhine and Hela tore apart space, bid farewell to the monks who were so shocked that their brains short-circuited, and returned to the imperial capital.

After obtaining the Golden Land, Rhine finally decided to implement the bold idea in his heart.

The golden crystal held by the Lake Giant is an indispensable key prop.

In order to obtain this crucial crystal, Rhine spent a full month in the monastery.

At this time, Hela's vacation was over.

According to the vacation rules of the Imperial Guards, except for Constance, who is stationed in the imperial capital for a long time, all Royal Imperial Guards who are deployed in various places in the mortal world have one or two long vacations every year.

Next, Hela will return to the position she is responsible for.

At the same time, another forbidden soldier will also be temporarily relieved from his busy work and return to the imperial capital for a vacation.

The Imperial Guard who will return to the imperial capital for repairs next is a very special being for Rhine.

She is Rhine's sister...

Italien Hein.
