Chapter 234： Serpent of Fate

Chapter 234 Destiny Serpent

The bright purple sword light flew across the ground!

The huge arc-shaped air curtain pushed forward horizontally, heading straight for the two fleeing in mid-air.

Shirna and Talleyrand, who turned into gargoyles, had crystal-clear obsidian eyes reflecting the moonlight-like sword curtain.

"Talleyrand, live."

Silna said softly, and pushed Talleyrand's chest hard, breaking free from the other's embrace.

Talleyrand shrank his pupils, and subconsciously reached out to grab Shirna's hand, but failed.

She flapped her incomplete wings, managed to glide for a certain distance, and faced the huge purple sword curtain straightly.

"Herna! Come back!"

Talleyrand saw his lover's behavior and knew that she wanted to sacrifice herself to buy him time to escape, so he couldn't help but shouted eagerly.

Hirna threw an alchemy potion into her mouth as quickly as possible, chewed the glass bottle with a click, and swallowed it together with the liquid medicine and glass shards.

The stone skin on her body became harder in an instant, and the color changed from gray and white to black gray.

In the eyes of Obsidian, countless images flashed, and finally stopped on a man in black. He was a [Mystic] member of Talleyrand's executioner team.

Herna exhausted her last extraordinary power and used "Borrowing from the Past", temporarily possessing a part of the power of [Mystic], and once again covered herself with an extremely thick air barrier.

She turned her head and opened her mouth, wanting to say the last word to Talleyrand, but it was too late.

Next second.

Boom!

The purple sword light overwhelmed the figure of the gargoyle.

Talleyrand was blown away by the huge shock wave, and after weeks of tumbling, he fell to the ground.

Boom!

He got up, ignoring the dust and dirt, and looked up into the distance.

A broken body fell from mid-air, it was his lover Hilna. The body of the wax figure has been destroyed, and the spirituality has also evaporated...

She left forever.

"Do not…"

Talleyrand fell to his knees with a plop, tears streaming from his eyes.

The moonlight sword curtain that Byers cut out was not completely resisted by Hilna, and the remaining sword energy shattered and splashed around randomly.

A sharp, thin blade slashed across Talleyrand's cheek, tearing his stony skin, but he remained unmoved.

Talleyrand remained silent, letting the sword energy brush past him.

Blood seeped from the cracks on his body, he remained motionless, and countless images flashed through his eyes.

Wow...

The rapid flipping of the pages of the book sounded, and the picture in his eyes reversed to the moment when Hilna pushed him away.

Talleyrand stretched out his hand, trying to drag her out of history, but he was helpless.

"Hyrna..."

His hands hang down feebly, tears streaming down his face.

Talleyrand immediately thought of a possibility, and a glimmer of hope arose in his heart.

"As long as she is promoted to a high-sequence, there must still be a chance to bring her back from the past... I can't die, I want to live, I want... revenge!"

The pictures in his eyes continued to go backwards, and he found himself before the battle, and immediately overlapped.

History backtracking!

Talleyrand's eyes cracked with a click, like shattered obsidian.

His body miraculously recovered, but his spirit had been irreversibly damaged.

Byers came after him, and the black sword slammed down, straight for Talleyrand's head.

Boom!

The gargoyle's wing membranes on Talleyrand's back closed to block the blow, and used it to roll backwards to open the distance.

He spit out a jet of black flame, forcing the black knight back.

"Byles, I will come back to you."

Talleyrand looked directly at the black knight with indifferent eyes, and his figure slowly disappeared.

He left the spirit world.

Dark horizons.

Howard quietly observed the changes in the spirit world.

When Talleyrand successfully escaped, he turned the screen around and fixed it on the silver pot head.

"The direction of the script is roughly consistent. Jack fought with the Red Rose team and was forced to consume the spell that contained Maggie's breath...

Afterwards, a free note I made came into effect, leading the Lantern Keeper team, which was originally targeting Byers, to lead to Jack, prompting Maggie's avatar to stop it..."

he whispered.

"Sure enough, you are destined to have a bond with Maggie. This is a context that even I cannot change... But my needs are very small, I just need to temporarily invite her out of the stage."

Howard was not surprised by the existence of Maggie.

To his surprise, Jack deviated from the direction of the script without any interference. Although it was only a sign, it was somewhat beyond his control.

"It really surprised me. Where did the 'deep sea' traces on your body go? Not only did you not take the deep sea route because of your 'fisherman' background, but you chose the path of fate...Who changed my settings? "

Howard's calm eyes looked at the silver pot head in the spirit world.

"Forget it, these are not important anymore, it's nothing more than a slightly different ending for you."

He put away the script and black pen, stood up and took a step forward.

"But I still want to see... what went wrong."

In the spirit world.

The roundup of the Black Knight came to an end.

Chen Lun watched as Hilna was cut off with a sword, and Talleyrand fought back on his deathbed and escaped from the spirit world.

He was a little surprised that this almost fatal situation was actually revived by Talleyrand.

'But Mr. Byers is considered safe for the time being... The chasing soldiers of the Church of the Sun were eliminated by the God of Cats, and Jerome was targeted by the King of Slaughter. There is only one dead end, leaving only the Church of the Moon who has not yet appeared...But it depends on the situation , they won't come for a while. '

Chen Lun thought to himself.

He greeted the four companions around him, and planned to go up and talk to Mr. Byers.

at this time.

A man appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Blonde hair, three-dimensional facial features, and deep eyes.

Wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, like an ordinary lawyer, he smiled at Chen Lun and stretched out his hand.

"!"

Chen Lun's hairs stood on end, and a strong sense of crisis emerged spontaneously.

The warning of spiritual intuition almost reached the threshold.

But he found to his astonishment that he couldn't move, he couldn't even enter the extreme state.

Byers, Pinghu, Akbin, and Drink who were present at the scene all saw this man at the same time, and also saw what this man was going to do to Chen Lun, so they all wanted to stop him.

But they all froze.

A strong sadness erupted in their hearts suddenly, without a reason, born out of thin air, and the wave of grief suddenly overwhelmed them.

Byers stood up like a statue, Mr. Pot wailed loudly, Mr. Ping retracted the bronze bottle, Akbin fell to his knees, Drinker yelled and fell down, curled up with his head in his arms.

Chichi...

On Chen Lun's chest, countless phantoms of green vines were forcibly dragged out to form a simple book, which was grasped by the strange middle-aged blonde in front of him.

"Howard...!"

Chen Lun remembered the words of the cat god, contacted the man in front of him, and said the name with difficulty.

Howard held "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" and smiled slightly at Chen Lun.

"Jack, take it easy, I mean no harm... just a quick look at the progress."

After speaking, He opened the book in his hand.

Boom!

A dazzling white light flashed.

The figures of Howard and Chen Lun disappeared at the same time.

[Four Seasons Bookmark - Waking of Insects] within the space constructed.

Howard stood on the vast and boundless hill, looked around at the borderless grassland, and looked at the empty vine platform in front of him, with a puzzled expression on his face.

"This...is not 'Wonderland'."

He took a few steps forward and came to the vine platform.

The field of view is brighter.

Look up.

At the end of the field of vision directly in front, a towering tree stands, with luxuriant branches and leaves, covering the sky and the sun.

A giant silver-white snake clings to the big tree. Every scale on its body is as big as a house. There are billions of eyes densely packed on its surface. The eyes rotate, and the pupils reflect countless The picture in the present world.

A circle of light was reflected around the silver-white giant snake, and profound and mysterious symbols continuously floated in the light circle, thousands of thousands of them, wriggling and twisting as if they were alive.

The snake head blocked all the light, with the light behind it, overlooking Howard like a god.

Howard looked shocked.

He stared directly at the silver-white giant snake, with blood slowly flowing from his eyes, but he didn't care.

"Accident... What a surprise... The accident on Jack made me feel terrified, but I was extremely excited... Because accidents are an indispensable and important part of a drama. If even I, the writer, can't predict it, then this drama will be even more exciting. gone."

Howard murmured, took off his gold-rimmed glasses, and bowed respectfully towards the distant giant snake.

"Humble tragic writer, bow down to Oscar, the noble serpent of fate."

A long while.

An idea came from the giant snake, and the whole space trembled slightly:

“Children’s pranks, while amusing, mean little.”

Howard maintained a gesture of touching his chest and showing a smile.

“Every grown-up was once a child, and sadly, very few of them remember it.”

The giant silver snake stopped talking.

He just stared at Howard quietly.

Howard's smile froze, his forehead began to sweat uncontrollably, his veins were exposed, and he seemed to be enduring terrible pain.

"You, the angel of destiny, have been watching me and watching everything happen...I can feel a force pushing invisibly. I am the key node and an important person in the new era."

He raised his head with difficulty, the skin on his forehead had begun to agitate, the muscles on his face were twisting, and his voice was dry:

"Fate guides me...I am the protagonist of the times."

Howard's forehead was broken, revealing a dark iron crying mask, and his eyes were also bleeding.

"Sorry to offend you, but, not even you, can change that... Jack, is my favorite character, always will be."

Bang.

Howard's body exploded like fireworks, turning into a puddle of blood.

The weeping mask fell to the ground with a clang.

“Everyone is walking on a similar road, but they all mistakenly think that they are shocking.”

The words of the Serpent of Destiny echoed in the space.

Chen Lun opened his eyes.

He found himself lying in darkness.

Climbed up, took off the silver pot on his head, and looked around.

'What is this place…? '

He recalled what happened before.

The man who had been hiding behind the scenes and manipulating his own destiny unexpectedly appeared and personally took out "Philip's Adventures in Wonderland" from him.

Then he was teleported to this place.

‘That guy…what the **** is he trying to do? ! '

Chen Lun felt a mass of anger suppressed in his chest.

He can accept that he was killed by a high-ranking strong man after trying his best, because it was just that his skills were not as good as others. But to be grasped by someone like this, to be manipulated like a puppet on a string, is really an aggrieved experience.

Chen Lun stood up, clenched his fist, and then slowly released it.

He took a few deep breaths and forced himself to calm down.

‘As long as I am alive, I have a chance... There is no need for the Moon God and the Cat God to lie to me. As long as I am promoted to a high-sequence, I will have the ability to resist fate and jump out of this circle.

And I am a time traveler, my advantage is the plot prophet, the player, and the panel... The reason why Howard can manipulate my fate is because he is the high-ranking person in my sequence. As long as my position rises, he will take me There is no way. '

Chen Lun calmed down a little.

He told himself that anger was useless, and that only by looking at himself from the most objective third-person perspective could he find a way out.

It was dark all around, only a light not far away.

Chen Lun pondered and walked forward.

He can perceive that the location he is in is in the fairyland, because the consciousness can communicate with the statue of Maggie and other wooden houses, but for some reason, he cannot transmit it.

'This place has never been here...and I seem to be trapped here, unable to exit the fairyland for the time being. '

Chen Lun's face was serious.

As he stepped forward, he saw clearly the source of the light. It was a bonfire with a pot of soup boiling on it, emitting the aroma of mushrooms and meat.

Beside the bonfire, there is a wooden house, which is exactly the same as the other wooden houses in the fairyland.

Chen Lun was overjoyed.

‘If you can activate it, you may be able to go back. '

He didn't rush to open the door, but observed it quietly from a distance.

The bonfire outside is obviously a sign of man-made, and according to the usual practice, there are powerful polluting creatures guarding the cabin, so Chen Lun remained quite vigilant.

Almost half an hour passed.

Chen Lun didn't find any abnormalities, and his spiritual intuition didn't give any warning.

He thought about it, and to be on the safe side, he used cards to divination, and the prediction given was not dangerous.

Chen Lun raised his hand and dropped a few poker cards near the wooden house, as props to replace the "skill seal" props to escape at any time, then put on [black cufflinks], sprayed a little [sibba perfume], and came carefully to the wooden house the door.

He gently pushed open the door of the cabin.

The furnishings inside are completely different from the wooden house in the impression.

With doubts, Chen Lun briefly explored inside for a week, and was surprised to find that there were traces of people living here, and this trace was not long ago.

‘Could it be Philip…? '

He suddenly had such an idea, but remembering the reply from the cat **** Maggie, Philip failed to challenge fate, so it is unlikely to be him.

‘Who the **** would that be? The authority of the fairyland is in my hands, it is impossible for anyone to enter the wooden house except me...'

Chen Lun frowned.

As usual, he rummaged through the table in the wooden house, usually there would be things left by Philip here.

But unfortunately, he didn't find any valuable remnants this time.

at this time.

A footstep sounded from outside the cabin.

Chen Lun's heart skipped a beat.

The footsteps seemed to appear suddenly, making him unaware.

Chen Lun turned around suddenly, and saw a figure standing at the door.

"You're finally here, Jack."
