Chapter 1740 - Parallel Battlefields (2/2)
The soldiers of the north had taken out everything that looked remotely like magical. Even anything that looked special was taken out as well, broken pottery, moldy blades, old statues of gods, ritual items as all sorts of things were laid on the group.
Thankfully there were not too many of them. And it seemed like the church was not all that wealthy.
Constance and Rheia stepped forward to inspect the items, and the first thing they did was to focus on the religious items: The former was clearly not too concerned about the gods, and the latter was trying to professionally analyze if the Gods of Dawn and Dusk were actually her comrades…
And Rheia’s attention was soon caught by a shiny object among the junk.
Constance too was attracted by that object with a unique presence, she used her sword to pick up the item, and frowned slightly, “What is this…”
Before she could even ascertain what it was, Rheia suddenly yelped, “Huh?!”
The object on the tip of Constance’s blade was an intricate silver wide armband, and the armband was really lavishly decorated, and the wide corners made it look a little bit like an arm guard, while and the hollow embossing on it depicted all sorts of complex runes and pictograms of flora and fauna but the size was clearly not for adults and were more like adornments meant for a child’s arm.
Upon hearing Rheia’s voice, Constance turned to look at the mysterious and powerful “little girl”, and for some reason, she had linked the latter with the armband together.
The size… seems to fit?
“This…” Constance gave Rheia and uncertain look, “Could it be yours?”
Rheia was just about to shake her head to deny that, but she suddenly recalled something and replied in a rather ambiguous matter. “It just looked familiar. Would I actually have something inside… a church like this?”
“I just think that the size actually matches,” Constance picked up the armband and placed it beside her arm. Of course, she was in her armor now, and could not put it on, but even without it, this band could not fit her. “It’s clearly meant for a child…”
“Let me see.” After suppressing her veins from popping on her forehead, Rheia said stiffly as she stuck her hand out for the armband.
“Here, have it.”
Constance passed the armband over, and just as Rheia’s fingers touched the armband, a thunder suddenly cracked in the ski.
Both of them looked up in surprise.
They only saw a rift opening in the sky, and the dark red rift looked similar to Gorgon’s Abyss, and within the rift, there were countless of floating wreckage and bright lights, as beams of light shot out like lightning among the shadows as explosions roared from the deep clouds.
And an ethereal light belt pierced through the chaotic world behind the rift.
Rheia was shocked and quickly removed her hand from the armband.
And the bizarre scene in the sky disappeared.
