Chapter 497 The Guardian of the Goddess
When Javelin returned to the camp with the paladin named Fino, everyone was already ready. However, to their disappointment, Fino seemed to be a completely different person, or in other words, his reaction was not the same at all.
It's human, but like some kind of beast.
According to Javelin, he struggled to break away from the Klein force field almost all the way. Only after arriving at the camp and seeing Wells and other people from the temple, the paladin named Fino was able to barely control it.
He restrained himself and did not attack anyone else, but he still looked at everyone with very cautious expressions, as if a wild beast was observing an unknown creature.
In the end, in desperation, Wells had to ask the accompanying priest to release a few soothing magical spells on him, which allowed Fino to fall into a deep sleep and temporarily regain his calm.
"This is what happens when you are corrupted by chaos."
Looking at Fino lying in the tent, Wells was also quite sad.
"We have suffered a lot in the past. Many brave young men died in vain. They did not die at the hands of monsters, nor were they killed by cultists. Instead, they were gradually eroded by chaos until..."
After saying this, Wells pointed to his head and shook his head.
"What will happen to him next?"
"Send back to the temple."
After saying this, Wells sighed.
"Poor child, I'm afraid he will have to spend the rest of his life in the monastery. I hope it can soothe his heart that was lost in chaos... But fortunately, he still brought us some clues."
As he spoke, Wells took out a tattered notebook.
"This is?"
"This is a marching record. Scouts who go out to explore must record what they see at any time. This is just in case. If something happens..."
After saying this, Wells also paused and looked at the sleeping Fino with complicated eyes.
"...At least we can know what happened to them."
"…………"
Fang Zheng didn't say anything else. He stretched out his hand and opened the diary. Soon, lines of writing appeared in front of him.
"On a micro-moon day and night, we were sent out to investigate the reason why this beast tide has not subsided. Frankly speaking, this is very dangerous, but we have already been mentally prepared. What's more, this beast tide is so violent
Strange, we also hope to know what the reason is. If this continues, Beidi will not be able to hold on, and we must find the answer..."
"...Today is the tenth day since we left the North Fortress. Along the way, we can see large and small groups of Chaos Warcraft moving towards the North Fortress. We even encountered one of the herds this afternoon.
To be honest, I was ready to die in battle at that time, but what we didn't expect was that this herd did not attack us as we thought. On the contrary, they just bypassed us and moved forward crazily.
Running around, as if something is chasing them, what happened? I am becoming more and more curious..."
"...On the fifteenth day, we still didn't get the answer, but the supplies were already running low. Everyone began to discuss whether to continue moving forward or return. But in the end we chose to continue moving forward. I don't know why, but along the way,
None of the Chaos monsters we encountered attacked us. This was very abnormal. I once fought with them in the North Fortress. At that time, they were so ferocious that they were desperate. Now think about it... Why did they do it?
Do you want to do this?”
"...On the twentieth day, we went too far, and some people have become unconscious. Although we can still support ourselves by reciting scriptures, I think we may not be able to go back on this mission. Then... at least let us find the truth."
"...On the twenty-third day, we heard a roar from afar at dawn. The sound was so loud that we felt our ears were buzzing. Hart suggested going to investigate, and I agreed with him. When we followed the direction of the sound to our destination, we found that there were corpses of chaos monsters everywhere... everywhere, and I even saw a monster. The body of the lord! Who is it fighting with? We decided to continue the pursuit. This time, we must find the answer..."
The next handwriting seems a bit sloppy, which seems to indicate the excitement and panic in its owner's heart.
"......We found it! We followed the trajectory and found the giant thing that made the sound. Oh my god, I couldn't believe what I saw! That's the guardian of the goddess! The guardian of the goddess!! I believe it. That must be the guardian of the goddess. Could it be that the goddess has come to the world? We tried to communicate with it, but it seemed that it couldn't hear our voices. After all, it was too big, and we were too small... I do not know I do not know………"
From then on, the written content began to become chaotic. Obviously, as Wells said, these people have been eroded by chaos and it is difficult to maintain their sanity.
"...Fire...the horn of destruction and rebirth...I heard the whisper of the goddess. I want to inform everyone of this great miracle and let them know that the gods have arrived!...I won't Give up, I want to move on... This is my journey of suffering... Once I reach the end, I will be able to enter the Kingdom of God... The Kingdom of God... The Kingdom of God..."
This was his last record. After that, nothing was written in this diary, and Fang Zheng closed the diary and returned it to Wells.
"He did a good job."
"Yes, he did a good job indeed."
Hearing Fang Zheng's answer, Wells smiled bitterly.
"At least, he has completed his mission, and he is worthy of the glory of the people of Order."
After saying this, Wells's expression became serious again.
"So, what do you think? Mr. Fangzheng?"
"The guardian of the goddess... If I remember correctly, this should refer to the giants who guarded the goddess during the Chaos War in the scriptures."
In order to avoid the same embarrassing situation in the future, Fang Zheng found time to memorize the entire scripture after he returned. With his current quality, photographic memory is a basic operation, so there is no difficulty. Therefore, facing Wells After asking, Fang Zheng quickly pulled out the corresponding records from his head.
Legend has it that it is a "powerful existence that stands tall against the sky and the earth, possesses armor that cannot be harmed, and holds a sharp blade of light that can cut apart the world." Of course, if Fangzheng is talking about it...as long as it is not the Destiny Gundam.
That stuff is so sincere... there's nothing much to say.
Hmm... So to sum it up, this scout team found something that was described as being very similar to the "Goddess Guardian", and then they thought it was the goddess's apparition, but at that time the recorder's head was no longer there. After he understood it, he ended up sending a lot of paragraphs praising the goddess's great power during the Chaos War. After that, the only thought in his will was "follow the guardian to find the goddess", so he kept Follow that guardian.
But neither Fang Zheng nor Tina found the "guardian". It seems that the other party left while the paladin was sleeping. After all, according to Fang Zheng's guess, the guardian was probably some kind of machine. Naturally
No need to sleep like humans.
But if this paladin did not go the wrong way, it means that there may be traces left by the "guardian" around. Thinking of this, Fang Zheng also made a decision.
"Then, it seems that we are going to find the 'Guardian' next. If our guess is correct, it should be the cause of the Warcraft riot in the North."
