Chapter 338: Saving Lorushia

Putting the flame in his arms on the ground, Chen Fan asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
"It's nothing serious, His Majesty Serich didn't give me a hard time," Yan shook his head in response.
"They all want to get rid of you, and you still want to speak up for him." Taozi said weakly.
At this point, the whole plan had failed and Serich walked up to the crowd looking dejected.
“It's been 500 years... 500 years of hiding the sacred chains in Loxuria, do you know why?” Serich laughed self-deprecatingly and continued, “Ever since the Holy Grail War destroyed the ancient kingdom of Eira, the hero of the country, Adel, never returned. The ancient kingdom of Eira was nothing more than a country built around the hero, Adel. But our ancestors were not so.”
"In fact, we are not descendants of the hero Adel, and our royal family was only a collateral branch in Ira at that time. We only gained our current status in the aftermath of the war."
Upon hearing his own father's words, Zig was shocked, "Doesn't that mean we are usurpers?"
"This is the trend of the times... our ancestors were willing to seize power in order to ensure the survival of the country..."
“Even if it means using Adel's name without hesitation?”
Facing the unacceptable Zig, Cerise laughed at herself.
“After the death of the lord of Eira, blood flowed in Eira, so our ancestors united it in the name of Loshuria.”
“The legend of the hero who saves the world has already deeply ingrained in people's hearts, so are you using him to govern?” Melfa sneered at Cerich.
“Yes, even so, but the desire to not let the world suffer the scorching again is not false either.”
"Why say it so beautifully? Just be straightforward, you just want to consolidate your power, right?"
Facing his son's questioning, Seric lowered his head and closed his eyes, saying, "This is what they call history..."
"Will we Spebya also become like this one day..."
In response to the question about his own odd blade, Melf nodded and said truthfully, "Yes... so it's also very difficult to blame him."
At this moment, the atmosphere suddenly solidified, and no one said a word.
"By the way, did that guy named Adel really not come back?"
Nia couldn't stand the atmosphere first, and spoke up to break the silence.
"Exactly... according to the records, after sealing the Holy Grail of the Heavens, it has disappeared without a trace. I believe it must have met its demise on the way home, but we do not know where." Serizh nodded.
"It's not that I don't know where to go," Flame suddenly spoke.
"What do you mean by this? The Holy Grail of the Heavens," Serich asked.
Facing Serich's question, Flame said, "Adel had foreseen everything. He knew what the people would face after the destruction of the country, but he still chose not to come back."
“你的意思是说这是出于阿德尔的意志？那又是为何？”
焰对此并没有回答，而是取下了自己的一只耳环摊在手心中放在了众人的面前。
Just as a bright light flashed, a virtual figure appeared in front of everyone.
The virtual figure spoke after appearing: "My descendants, I am Adel Aldo. Today, I am sealing the Holy Grail of the heavens here, but this seal is not eternal. It is for the day in the future when we humans become beings that match the Holy Grail of the heavens, I want to entrust it to future generations. She is hope... When humans become more outstanding beings, she will definitely respond to the call. This is also my wish, and I believe that day will come..."
The image ends here, and Adel's figure dissipated in the air in an instant.
Putting the earring back on, Yan said to Seri, "He has foreseen the various chaos of the future, but even so, he told the confused me that it is a test..." Then Yan's thoughts returned to the eve of the sealing 500 years ago, to the conversation between herself and Adel.
"Is my slumber also a test?"
Adel nodded to the side, facing the flame's question, and said, "Yes, this is a test that we humans have to go through. Otherwise, we have no qualifications to travel alongside you."
Laura muttered to herself, "Qualifications for companions?"
"I'm not sure, but based on what idea did he say these words, is it simply to indicate the coexistence of humans and the alien blades, or to say... something else, making me think that this is his enlightenment. The enlightenment to keep humanity alive..."
"Is it Adel..." Chen Fan murmured to himself.
……
Boom boom boom~~
Suddenly, the entire hall began to shake.
This sudden situation caused the contemplative crowd to suddenly stand unsteadily.
“What's going on?” Peach asked in alarm.
"Your Majesty--"
At this moment, a soldier rushed in from outside the hall.
“What's happening?” Ceri asked sternly.
“Xuanwu... it has broken free from our control and started to sink towards the cloud sea,” the soldier reported in panic.
"What? Is this for real?" Cerys exclaimed in surprise.
Meanwhile, Ayaka, who had been perfectly fine, suddenly clutched her chest in apparent pain and doubled over.
"Cai Ge!" Zig rushed forward to help her up.
"No, it's not good," Cai Ge said with difficulty.
"Could it be... just now..." Zig seemed to realize something.
“What's going on, Zig?” Chen Fan looked at Zig seriously.
“To control Xuanwu, the sacred chain must be used. The energy basis of the ether accelerator just used is the ether energy of Xuanwu, which has caused the energy flowing in Xuanwu's body to reverse. It can't bear the overload anymore.”
“那跟彩歌有什么关系吗？”
“还记得之前彩歌可以召唤玄武的事情吗？她跟玄武有很深的关系，所以才会有反应的。”
At this point, Caige gasped and struggled to say, "It can't even hear me speak now... It's just going to dive deeper and deeper, until..."
"Damn it, who told you to bring out that ancient thing to use," Ziggy glared angrily at his old man.
"This is not sustainable. We have tested before that the density of the cloud sea is almost the same as water. The deeper we go, the greater the pressure. If we let Xuan Wu continue like this, in the end, not to mention Xuan Wu, we humans will be squeezed into meat patties by the cloud sea." Chen Fan said solemnly.
"Well, once humans reach a depth of 500 meters, they will be compressed, and all deep-sea operations rely entirely on the support of the Xuanwu. By the way, how deep are we now?"
Upon seeing Zig's question, the soldier who delivered the message immediately answered, "It is sinking at a depth of about 2200 meters, and currently descending at a speed of 120 meters per minute."
“What about the maximum depth the hull can withstand?”
“It should be 25000 meters.”
“So that means, at most 3 hours...”
“Wow, little turtle, you're really good at math, you figured it out so quickly.” Iris looked at Zig in surprise and suspicion.
“Idiot, is it the time to talk about this now? Chen Fan, there's a pressure-resistant boat on the south tower of the palace, you can take that to leave!”
Facing Zig's words, Chen Fan was speechless, "What kind of joke is this, do I need you to arrange for my escape? Let's set that aside for now, at this rate, all the people of Loxuria will be unable to escape. Is there any other way? If there is, say it quickly."
"Only the colorful song can control Xuanwu, but now even colorful song can't do it. Next, I can only try to help more people escape from here as much as possible..."
Zig sighed weakly.
"You can't do anything about it either?" Taotao asked anxiously, looking at Zig's helpless face.
Facing this situation, even Chen Fan seemed a little helpless at the moment.
Although he could safely take himself and his party out, Chen Fan felt somewhat powerless in the face of the thousands of people of Loxuria.
……
"Is the control of Xuanwu done through the sacred chains?" Yan suddenly asked.
Although Zig felt strange about why Kiki asked like this, he could only nod honestly and say, "Yeah, that's right."
"Where?"
"It's on the top of Xuanwu, after passing through the spine from the south of the palace."
“小焰，你有办法吗？”听到这话桃子一脸惊喜地看着对方。
“神圣锁链原本是海蛇的控制核心，而海蛇是我的仆从，虽然无法断定，但我也许能够修好它。”焰闻言点点头道。
“Xiao Yan, you have to understand that they were just trying to eliminate you a moment ago. Do you still want to risk helping them now?”
Yan smiled and shook his head in response to Nia's indignant words, "I think if it were Chen Fan, he would also agree, right?"
"This kind of thing is clear-cut. If anyone wants to harm Yen, it's the King of Loxuria, not the innocent people. I won't take my anger out on those who have no idea. Besides, we still have 3 hours. In case we really fail, I am confident that I can safely take everyone back above the Cloud Sea."
Chen Fan looked confidently at the crowd.
"Do you...really want to risk your lives to try to destroy the Holy Grail of the Heavens for this Loxyria?" Serei looked at Chen Fan and his team inexplicably.
"Don't confuse yourself with others. Okay, does anyone here want to withdraw?"
After looking around, Chen Fan found that everyone had no objection, and turned to Zig, "Zig, tell us in detail where the location of the holy chain is, and we will set off immediately."
"No problem, follow me, I'll show everyone the way." Zig gratefully looked at everyone before turning to Serich and said, "Dad, just in case, you should gather the people and take them to safety first."
……
Looking at the people going away, Serihi murmured, "Zig, there is also the Holy Grail of the heavens and her swordsmen..."
……
At this moment, on the way out of the city, Zig quickly said to the group, "The road of the sacred chain of the Dao God is very difficult. The royal capital Teosole is located directly above the Xuanwu Great Snow Plain. After leaving the palace, the Teos Piste Temple ruins are on the left, and the rear city gate is ahead. Where do we go first?"
“然后呢？”劳拉将之前的用笔记记了下来。
“之后就是横穿大雪原了，之后会到一个叫做圣大列柱廊的地方，穿过那之后就到神圣锁链所在三圣颂锁链。”
"Ah!? Is that too far? I'm afraid Xuanwu will reach the deepest critical point before we even get there," Nia sighed.
"Time is of the essence, Zig, you help me with the direction, and leave the rest to me."
After speaking, Chen Fan began to mobilize his telekinetic power in the presence of others who were unaware of the situation.
Immediately, the group found themselves suspended in mid-air by an unseen force.
"Yes, how could I forget about Chen Fan's ability, if he can fly then we can definitely reach our destination quickly," Alice exclaimed, looking at everyone's excited state.
While others saw the situation, they also showed happy expressions.
Zig also reacted and immediately began to point the way for Chen Fan.
With the direction provided, Chen Fan started to infuse his psychic power, and in an instant, the group soared towards a direction.
