Chapter 27 Who is Ashley?

There was a dull and thick darkness all around, and there was a vague vibration in the air, vaguely as if it was a Sanskrit sound coming from afar.A row of candles suddenly lit up all around, and bright light immediately filled the place.I looked around, and it turned out that this is a gray and white building.The main hall made of rocks, the simple style and the gorgeous Sea Emperor Palace seem completely out of place, and there seem to be many murals on the rock walls that seem to have been around for a long time. "Why is there such a place in my palace?" Roland Gallo stood up in surprise and walked to the murals.

Ashley just glanced at the murals, then looked at me, I immediately turned my head, got up and walked to the murals. The murals depict many scenes of people's lives, including wine making, bread making, and geese raising. It seems to be a rich and peaceful kingdom. I looked curiously along the stone wall one by one. It was a horrible blood red.The color is still very bright, so it looks very weird.A man with a vague face was holding a trident, as if he was angry, and countless heads with frightened expressions loomed in the blood red, full of blood and brutality. Suddenly, what Si Yin once said appeared in my mind, Sea Emperor Roland Garlo was sealed by the gods because he committed an unforgivable sin... Could it be that the man holding the trident is the Sea Emperor? ?

"There is more to the story of the mermaid." Roland Gallo stood by my side at some point, "Because the Emperor of the Sea lost his lover, he was angry with the human prince and the princess who married the prince, so he borrowed The mighty power of the trident set off monstrous waves, destroying these two countries, and all the citizens were spared. This violated the big taboo of the Three Realms." I suddenly realized that it was because of this crime that the gods sealed the power of the Sea Emperor.Thinking of this, I pointed to the trident in the mural, then pointed to him, showing an expression of where is this thing now.

He immediately reacted: "It is sealed together with the power of the Sea Emperor in a place that no one knows, except my sister." He said, he glanced at me again, "Only by breaking the seal, I can get All the power. And the only one who can break the seal——you.” "Why?" I asked with my eyes. He shook his head: "I don't know why, this is the elder sister of the sea emperor, or my current elder sister told me." "You really want to know why?" Ashley leaned against the wall, with his hands crossed on his chest, and that seductive smile that I was familiar with appeared on his lips.

For some reason, this smile makes me feel particularly glaring. But in order to know the truth of the matter, I still nodded.He smiled lightly: "Do you ever wonder why you sometimes hear voices calling for you?" I was slightly startled, and there was an expression on my face how did you know. "Whether it's Agrippa's sword, Nebuchadnezzar's iron sword, or Prince Shotoku's bow and arrows, or the long sword that belonged to the Minotaur, every time you hold it in your hand, you will always hear that A voice calling to you." I was taken aback now, how did he know all about it?

"I admit that I approached you with a purpose from the very beginning. I have seen every task you have completed. Remember the crazy leopard in the Colosseum? It was just for me to try Give it a shot." Ashley played with his hair casually, "From Rome to Greece, I was amazed by everything you accomplished. You are very different from what I imagined." I looked at him quietly, and suddenly felt that I was not so surprised. The chance encounters are just his design, so that I can become more and more familiar with him, so that I can gradually be attracted by him, so that I can go smoothly. Completing the last step made it easy for me to fall for that trick.

"When the gods sealed the Sea King and his trident, Zelifa paid a huge price and stole half of the divine power. This half of the divine power will wake up at the appropriate time with the different reincarnations of the Sea King, but it is a pity , After tens of thousands of years, before Marty, I have never met a suitable reincarnated person, because even if it is a reincarnated person, this kind of divine power may not wake up for a lifetime." He paused, his eyes flashed The complicated Roland Gallo continued, "The trident is not an ordinary artifact. It has its own consciousness and thinking. In a way, it is also a god, so it will also be reincarnated. However, what it has All of his divine power has been sealed away."

Roland Gallo suddenly glanced at me, and blurted out in disbelief: "Could it be that she is..." "Xiao Wan, you are the reincarnated person of that trident. Because you have taken so many lives before and your evil spirit is too strong, you are reincarnated as a sharp weapon in the world every time. From Agrippa's sword to the Minotaur's sword, until this time, you have not been reincarnated as a human, no—" Ashley bent his lips, "Or half-human, half-demon is more appropriate." My brain exploded with a bang, and the flying fragments echoed with the same reverberation——

You are the reincarnation of that trident... You are the reincarnation of that trident... I need to calm down, I really need to be calm right now.But when a person knows that his previous life was a big fork, how many people can calm down? "This sounds really unbelievable!" Ashley looked at my face that was starting to go crazy, and smiled slightly, "It is almost impossible to break the seal of the Trident, but because the age is too long, the seal of this seal The power is getting weaker and weaker, and it will lose its effect soon, but no one knows the specific time of failure, maybe a day, a month, maybe a hundred years, a thousand years. But Zelifa can't wait anymore, there is It just so happened that the reincarnation of the Sea Emperor who has recovered half of his strength appeared, so she needs the reincarnation of the trident next, because this person is the key to undo the seal. So, Xiaowan, this is why only you can do it reason."

So, why do you want me to marry Neptune? My heart immediately became suspicious. "As long as it's past 12 o'clock tonight, you can unlock the seal of the Trident, but after that, you—" Roland Gallo's eyes darkened, "you are not allowed to leave, because the trust you exchanged is yours. freedom of." I was too lazy to talk to him, but the doubts in my heart were getting bigger and bigger.Why does Ashley, the king of the blood clan, know so much about the sea realm? The blood clan and the sea realm are simply out of reach.But these are not important now, the important thing is that I have captured the information I need from Roland Gallo's words, as long as it is past 12 o'clock tonight, maybe I can get close to the Trident in the name of lifting the seal...

Although how to insert the trident into Roland Gallo's chest is still a big problem, and I can only take one step at a time. In any case, no matter how small the chance of winning, I will try. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but glance at Roland Gallo again. The young man looked thoughtfully at the trident in the mural, his jaw and neck outlined a perfect arc. The scenes of meeting him when I was a child flashed before my eyes, and I suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Why do you have to kill me? Although he is an unkind guy, but I really want to kill him with my own hands... But, for Mom... no matter who, I can do it. Suddenly, another doubt popped up in my heart. I heard Ashley talk about it for a long time, but it seems that this matter has nothing to do with my mother. "Ashley, since you know everything so well, why do you still betray me? Have you forgotten that you obey my sister, and you must obey me." Roland Gallo's eyes froze , "In my eyes, she is just a tool to lift the seal." Ashley rolled his lips gracefully, as if joking: "If that's the case, then please give me this tool after the seal is released." Roland Gallo frowned, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, he raised his hand, and a blue light quickly hit Ashley, and just when the blue light was about to hit Ashley, it suddenly dissipated in mid-air disappeared without a trace. The whole room was shrouded in a purple misty light, and in midair, a woman slowly appeared.She has long purple hair, and her whole body is as beautiful and elegant as moonlight, like a water lily on a clear spring, despite the hustle and bustle of the world, she has never been contaminated by dust.Exactly the same woman in the portrait I saw earlier. "Sister?" Roland Gallo's voice confirmed my guess. This woman is - Sea Emperor's older sister Zelifa. She nodded to Roland Gallo, then turned her gaze to Ashley, her voice was as cold as raindrops on the ice: "Ashley, do you know what you are doing?" Ashley's expression was still calm, but at some point there was a sense of loss under that calmness, or maybe he didn't even notice it. "Mother!" His yell made me think that something was wrong with my ears, but he actually called Zelifa's mother? Roland Gallo also showed a shocked expression on his face. "Roland Gallo, he is my son, but unlike you, he has survived for tens of thousands of years." Zelifa's eyes flickered, and the world was eclipsed in an instant.She had eyes very like Ashley's. Roland Gallo froze there, obviously unable to digest this information for a while.me too.It turned out that Ashley's real identity was actually the son of the Neptune's sister. Only now did I know what the other half of his blood was. That is - the blood of God. Zelifa seemed to have noticed me at this time, her faint eyes passed over my face, and then fell on Ashley: "Have you forgotten your destiny?" A bitter smile appeared on Ashley's lips: "I remember, of course I remember, mother, from the moment you gave birth to me, you told me that I didn't live for myself, I lived for Born by someone else, to you, I am just a tool, a tool that can help the Sea Emperor. I have waited for tens of thousands of years, just to wait for the moment when the Sea Emperor’s divine power is fully awakened, to protect Him, isn't he?" "How can you say that?" Zelifa's expression froze. "Isn't it? Mother, you only care about the reincarnation of the Sea Emperor in each reincarnation. From childhood to adulthood, why have you looked at me with straight eyes." There was a faint trace of fatigue between his brows. I was slightly startled, and suddenly remembered his blunt expression when he said that I had no parents. It turned out that the scar deep in Ashley's heart was his mother. "What do you mean by that? Since you know that the mission of your birth is to help Roland Gallo, why did you betray him?" Zelifa's eyes suppressed anger, "I don't need this girl to break the seal. The emperor's divine power cannot be fully awakened. If you really like her, after the seal is released, I will give her to you and let you dispose of her." "Sister!" Roland Gallo frowned aside. Ashley lowered his head and smiled softly: "Mother, what's the use of me wanting a dead person?" "What?" Roland Gallo looked very shocked, "Didn't my sister say that she would not die?" "I also heard it in the temple these days. After the seal is released, her soul will be absorbed into the trident, that is to say, she will become a walking dead without soul and consciousness. You say, this Is it different from her death?" Ashley raised his eyes lightly, the flickering light projected into his pupils were dry. My heart is like a mess, I think I also need time to digest this information.The walking dead? My scalp suddenly felt numb. Could this be the reason why he wanted to take me out of here? "Sister, last time she drank that cup of blood, she had such a strong reaction. You didn't tell me beforehand, but now you're hiding it from me!" Roland Gallo's words made my heart tighten even more. It really was that cup of blood... But, why? Why did that cup of blood make me have such a big reaction? "It's strange that that cup of blood caused you such pain, right?" Zelifa's voice seemed to come from far away, "Because the blood of Sea Emperor Roland Garro was added there, for you, since ancient times , he has always been your master, so after drinking his blood, your body will naturally resist the master's blood, but to unlock the seal, blending your blood is the first step, so I want you to marry He, this means that you truly belong to your master. Only in this way will the blood that you drink be able to blend effectively." I pursed my lips coldly, it turned out that this was the reason why the Sea Emperor wanted to marry me.Ashley finally lived up to his mother's expectations and succeeded in implementing the bitter trick. Ashley turned his head and stared at me. The moment his silver-purple eyes looked into my eyes, it was like meeting starlight in the dark night, turning the deep and cold into soft and bright: "Mother, please forgive me for my waywardness. I don't want to bear this fate anymore, I want to abandon the whole world, I only want her." I avoided his eyes, and I didn't know what it was like. I don't want to believe his words... Maybe it's another lie, a trap. Zelifa's eyes were frighteningly cold: "You have disappointed me, Ashley. Are you trying to fight me?" Ashley stared at her and said word by word: "Mother, I asked you before, and you promised me that you would not do her any harm, if I hadn't heard it by accident...It will be too late to regret it, No, I regret it now... Mother, no matter whether you break the seal or not, this unbearable pain will always accompany her, won't it?" Suddenly there was a cold air behind me, isn't it so cruel? Will I have to suffer this kind of pain every day from now on? There was a sneer on Zelifa's lips, and she muttered something in her mouth. She bent down and inserted her hands into the hard marble floor, only to see a small golden bud sprouted there. After a long time, he has jumped higher than her... The whole room suddenly brightened like daylight. Looking at the ball of gold, I rubbed my eyes, completely unresponsive in shock.That's actually—the trident I've been looking for.The golden trident radiates immense light in the darkness, as if it has been like this since the age of mythology and has never changed. "Originally, I could use a gentle method, but now I have changed my mind." Zelifa turned to Roland Gallo, and said in a deep voice, "Catch this girl immediately. It will be 12 o'clock soon." Now, the time to lift the seal is coming soon, and we are still short of the last step. If anyone wants to stop it, they must not be merciful." Roland Gallo responded lightly, the candlelight cast a shadow on his face, People can't see his expression at this time.He's about to make a move... I clenched my fingers, and any fool would understand that the difference in strength between me and him is too great, but even if I knew this, I didn't want to give up casually, and I didn't want to be a passive player.The other party is a god, so what... Last time I was taken down by him because I was unprepared. Now, at least I can preemptively strike.It only takes a little time, and a little opening, so that I can get close to that trident. Thinking of this, I muttered a mantra in my heart. To deal with such a powerful character as the Sea Emperor, I can only use the most harmful magic of the vampires—the crimson thorn.This magic is very gorgeous, but also very cruel. It is to force part of one's own blood through the capillaries to form a blood mist, and then shoot at the opponent like countless steel needles. Maybe everyone didn't expect that I would take the initiative to attack, so when the rain of blood needles shot at Roland Gallo, he was not prepared. Just when he was slightly taken aback, I found the gap and quickly rushed to the Beside the trident. The moment my hand was about to touch the trident, a pain that seemed to tear me apart swept across my head. Oops, why did it happen at this time... Then, a huge force pulled me away from there , threw me heavily on the ground. "You still resist at this time. You should learn a lesson." Zelifa was obviously a little angry. The moment she raised her hand, a purple flying dragon came straight towards me. When I wanted to use magic again, I found that The surrounding air suddenly shrank, as if turning into strips of invisible The rope tied me tightly, and I could no longer move a step. Seeing that the purple flying dragon's teeth were about to bite my hand, a figure suddenly stopped in front of me, and the flying dragon's teeth bit his arm fiercely...Blood splashed out immediately, like Falling red leaves in autumn in Kyoto... "Ashley!" Zelifa seemed even angrier. "Mother, if you want to hurt her," Ashley held the flying dragon in his hand, "kill me first." "That's as you wish." Before Zelifa could speak, Roland Gallo was already standing in front of us. His face was gloomy, and the coldness swept through his eyes with anger, which gradually settled into darkness. Ashley, go away! I won't accept your favor! I won't thank you, go away! I whispered in my heart, but I couldn't make a sound. "Roland Gallo..." Zelifa called softly. Roland Garlo narrowed his eyes and showed a cruel smile: "Sister, didn't you say it? If someone wants to stop him, he must not show mercy. However, he is also my family, so I will Use "Mermaid Fantasia" to see him off." As soon as he finished speaking, a flute made of red coral suddenly appeared in his hand, and he put the flute to his lips, and a melodious tune sounded. It can be seen that countless notes are constantly attacking Ashley with the sound of the music, breaking through his barrier one after another. Before the end of the song, a trace of bright red blood flowed from Ashley's lips. I turned my head away and stopped looking at him, but my heart was empty. "Enough, Roland Gallo! He was already seriously injured, are you really going to kill him!" Zelifa suddenly yelled, and a trace of almost invisible worry flashed in her eyes. Ashley raised his head to look at Zelifa, his body shook slightly, and he showed a self-deprecating smile as if he didn't believe it, and suddenly covered his chest, spurting a big mouthful of blood. Zelifa's face was slightly moved, but she still didn't say anything. Roland Gallo put down his flute, walked slowly in front of Ashley, stretched out his hand to wipe off the blood on his lips, and smiled: "Ashley, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to stand up. Confrontation, that's stupid." As he spoke, he pointed at me, and a cloud of blue light enveloped my whole body, pulling me in front of him in an instant, Ashley's face changed, and he was just about to stand up , A mouthful of blood spewed out again, and my eyes seemed to turn bright red, and I could only say cruel words to myself in my heart-that's none of my business, whether he was injured or not, if not In order to trick me into the game, he will not be injured, so he deserves it, deserves it! I will not accept his favor, never! However, why does my heart seem to be emptied again... I am about to suffocate...
