Eastern mythology system

Chapter 86
Anthony raised his right hand lightly, and a subtle wave radiated from his hand.

The magic crystal that was buried deep in the ground closest to him reacted first, and a soft radiance came out through the soil.

Then, the ones a little further away, and the magic crystals a little further away light up one by one.

Soft light emanates from the spacious open space, like stars scattered all over the world.

As the last magic crystal was also lit up, all the magic crystals and all the nodes in the entire magic circle shook suddenly.

Everyone felt that the ground underground also shook, and their vision blurred for a while.The scenery as far as the eye can see is as if covered with a layer of tulle, making it hard to see clearly.

The shock came suddenly and went very abruptly.

When everything calmed down, everyone looked around.

It seems that nothing has changed?

The mountain is still the same mountain, the tree is still the same tree, even the tulle that barely affected the line of sight a little bit and made the monster's arrow accuracy slightly drop has disappeared.

The field of vision is clear and refreshing, without obstruction.

Could it be that this magic circle failed?
There are doubts in my heart, but no one dares to ask them.

"The formation has been successfully activated. From now on, if you look in from the outside, you will see a blurry and chaotic scene. But if you look out from the village, it will not be affected at all."

Anthony clapped his hands lightly, announcing to everyone.

According to his previous level of formation, maybe he will fail if he is not careful.Now?How can it be.

……

After completing the layout of the formation, the second problem of the villagers of the Li tribe was solved. The Li tribe people sincerely supported Anthony and his Hilton family and completely returned their hearts.

Among them, some young and middle-aged men took the initiative to propose to Anthony to resume work early tomorrow morning and continue to collect ore.

The handover ceremony and the design and laying of the formation have already taken several days.The boss takes care of the Li clan members in this way, and the Li clan members are real people who know how to repay their kindness, how can they receive their salary for nothing and not work for the boss family.

It can be said that since all the young and middle-aged people in Li Village began to change jobs to become miners, there has never been a day when they have such a high enthusiasm for mining as they do now.

And Anthony's trip to accept the fief this time can also be regarded as a complete success.

It was getting late at this time, although Anthony wanted to rush to the imperial capital as soon as possible, but there was no need to hurry.So I decided to spend the night in Licun, and set off on the road early tomorrow morning.

After dinner, Anthony was planning to practice "Hunyuan Guiyigong" as usual, when the voice of the village head suddenly came from outside the door.

"Mr. Anthony, our patriarch would like to ask Mr. to come over for a while."

Anthony opened the door and asked rather strangely: "Oh, isn't the village head the head of the Li clan?"

"Yes, the villain's ability is not enough to take the position of patriarch." The village head quickly explained, "The patriarch didn't mean any disrespect to the gentleman, but because of inconvenience, he couldn't come to visit him in person. That's why he had no choice but to invite Sir, go and meet."

Anthony replied indifferently: "It's okay."

At present, the village chief led the way, followed by Anthony. The two walked through half of the village and came to a house.

This house is slightly larger than the other houses around it, and there is nothing special about it in appearance.

The village chief pushed the door open first, and Anthony stepped over the threshold, only to realize that this is not a residential house.

In the small house, it was not divided into rooms, but a unique hall was built.The walls and roof of the hall's inner walls are all covered with murals.Before the surrounding murals, there are many statues of people.

If the size of the hall is enlarged several times, anyone can see at a glance that this is a religious temple.

At the other end of the hall, an old man with white hair and wrinkled face was lying on a large chair.

The old man was already very old and looked very weak. People worried that he would not be able to catch his breath at any time and would die like this.

On the side of the chair, there is a young man standing by.

Other than that, there was no one else.

"Patriarch, I have invited Mr. Anthony over here." The village chief bowed to the old man with a respectful expression.

Seeing this situation, Anthony immediately understood the relationship between the village head and the patriarch.

The real leader of the entire Li village or the Li tribe should be this old man lying on the chair.The village head is just an agent who handles affairs on the bright side and contacts with the outside world.If something big happens, the only one who can make the decision is the old patriarch.

The old man didn't even have the strength to nod his head, he just looked at the village chief and said, "Okay."

Although the voice lacked energy, it didn't sound old.

The old man looked at Anthony again: "Mr. Anthony, my body is really too old. I can't visit Mr. in person. Please forgive me."

Anthony cupped his hands and said, "The old patriarch is inconvenient to move, so he deserves a visit from my younger generation."

The old man does not have a title, but Anthony is a nobleman, so there is no reason to judge seniority by age.Anthony respected his longevity and gave the old man enough face.

I didn't know that the boy next to him didn't appreciate it.

"My father is not old!"

"Paul!" The old man's voice was not high, but his tone was very severe.The boy shrank his neck and remained silent.

Anthony looked at Paul, who was younger than himself, and then at the patriarch, who was reclining on the chair and couldn't move. He was at least 90 years old if he was not a hundred, and the surprise on his face disappeared.

The old man continued: "This time I invite you to come over, firstly, to personally thank you for everything you have done for my Li clan."

Speaking in his mouth, the old man seemed to be struggling to get up and salute Anthony.It's a pity that his body is too weak, and it's a little difficult to even raise his hand. The young Paul and the village chief quickly held him down.

Anthony also hurriedly replied: "The patriarch doesn't need to be too polite, these are what the Hilton family should do."

Seeing that Anthony removed the word "old", Paul looked up at him, seeming quite satisfied.

The old man was not polite, and he lay back on the chair again.

"The second thing is to bother Mr. Paul and bring Paul out of the Sunset Mountains."

Anthony raised his eyebrows: "Why?"

The old man sighed: "The Li clan has lived far away from human society and lived in this ravine for too long. The sense of urgency and enterprising spirit will soon be exhausted. If this continues, the Li clan will sooner or later be completely removed from this world. disappear."

"But I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the time to take care of others."

The old man glanced at his son beside him: "Sir, you don't have to take care of this child. If you need help with running errands, you can order him at will. If you feel bored, you can let him leave alone, don't worry about it anymore."

Anthony nodded, looking past the patriarch to the mural on the wall behind him.

"That place was originally used to place the altar?"

These words jumped too much, and they were thoughtless and abrupt.

The village head and Paul were stunned for a moment, but their expressions changed slightly.

The old man remained calm and unresponsive.Or maybe too old to respond.

He looked at Anthony quietly.

Anthony also looked at him quietly.

For a while, the hall was silent, only the sound of Paul's slightly heavy breathing was heard.

After a long time, the old man sighed softly: "It seems that you guessed something?"

The tone is flat, but there is a touch of power mixed with the period.But the original politeness, respect and caution no longer exist.

Anthony flipped his left hand, and a pill the size of a pigeon egg appeared in his palm, with a faint yellowish luster.

"Want to try?"

The old man didn't look at the pill, but just stared into Anthony's eyes: "Are you sure? Once you intervene, it's up to you if you want to withdraw at that time."

Anthony smiled lightly: "You can say that, it proves that I have not misjudged the person. Besides, I didn't do anything. I just saw a friend who was sick, so I got some pills to heal it."

The old man laughed suddenly, very happily.

"Paul, bring it here and serve it to me."

"Father..." Paul hesitated.

"Go!" The old man's tone was beyond doubt.

Gritting his teeth, Paul snatched the pill from Anthony's hand like a scramble, and put it near the old man's mouth with trembling hands.

The old man opened his mouth without hesitation, and swallowed the pill.

The not-so-small pill melts in the mouth, not as hard to swallow as expected.As the pills gradually took effect, the old man felt obvious changes in his body.

"Crack!"

Anthony, Paul, and the village chief seemed to hear the sound of a shackle being broken from the old man's body.

"boom!"

An invisible aura, centered on the old man, rushed in all directions.

Paul and the village chief were shocked by this momentum, and they all backed away, and fell to the ground.

Anthony narrowed his eyes slightly, feeling the terrifying aura he had never encountered before.But his feet were nailed to the ground like nails, motionless like a bell.

The momentum is instant.

The old man suddenly stood up, clenched his fists tightly, feeling the long-lost powerful force in his body, he couldn't help but screamed up to the sky.

The roar was high-pitched and passionate, but full of humiliation and unwillingness.

After a long time, the old man finally recovered his calm.

He looked back at Anthony, patted him on the shoulder lightly, and said, "Thank you!"

No more words.

But Anthony knows that for some people, the weight of words cannot be measured by the length of words.

Paul, who had fallen to the ground, stood up suddenly, trotted to Anthony, and knelt down with a bang.

"Thank you, Mr. Anthony! Thank you, Mr. Anthony! Thank you..."

As he spoke, he kowtowed his head loudly.

Anthony quickly pulled him up with one hand, only to see that his forehead was already bleeding, and his face was full of tears.

But the boy was laughing and crying, laughing happily.

"Paul, you will follow Mr. Anthony from now on." The patriarch's voice sounded from behind.

"Yes!" Paul nodded heavily, as if making an extremely important promise.

Anthony didn't refuse, but just patted Paul on the shoulder and said, "Get ready, we're leaving early tomorrow morning."

He nodded slightly to the patriarch and the village chief, turned and walked out.

The patriarch looked at his back and watched him walk out of the gate, walk up the alleyway, and finally disappear into the thick night.

"This young man has the appearance of a dragon and a phoenix, and he will become a legend in the future. I never thought that the only friend I have made in the thousands of years since I left the clan is such a talented person. Hahahaha!"

The laughter passed through the roof, drifting with the wind, and spread to the very distant starry sky.
