Chapter 1507 The Call of Heaven

The Elf King swept silently in front, followed closely by Xingye, who was carrying a seriously injured Lin Fan.

"Why do you care about him so much?" The Elf King suddenly said, "You are obviously the one placed by Young Master North in the Assassin Temple."

Obviously, the trustworthy wolves did not tell the Elf King the true identity of Young Master North.

Only then did Xingye realize what his nervousness had revealed. He gritted his teeth and said, "This Shura is the back-up man left behind by Young Master North. Do you care about it?"

The Elf King frowned slightly.

What's the meaning?

Young Master North, actually secretly cooperated with Shura?

But why?

By the way, that’s right.

In order to compete for the top spot among the many masters, Young Master Nanuos did not hesitate to join forces with the divine beasts before exploring the divine treasure, allowing the masters to be captured.

This is already treacherous.

And cooperating with Shura is obviously using Shura's hand to eliminate dissidents.

Obviously, this is also a god with a lust for profit.

But this kind of careful thinking is worthy of Young Master North!

The Elf King nodded slightly. A god who is greedy for profit, betrays his own people, and is also thoughtful, is obviously a good partner for the mythical beast.

Behind him, Xingye suddenly said with Lin Fan on his back: "My speed is limited, why don't you take him first?"

After all, Xingye's current strength is only level 12, and the assassin is not good at running long distances.

And the Elven King’s strength reaches seventeen levels!

The Elf King shook his head: "I let him go there, which is already a great gift from the Earth Ancestor Spirit."

"I won't pay any price for him, you have to go."

Xingye seemed to realize something and urged: "Then hurry up!"

The Elf King frowned, his figure increased dramatically, and a terrifying air current swept through him.

"Faster!"

The Elf King was stunned for a moment.

The assassin behind him has only level 12 strength. At this time, his speed has reached level 14. How can he still keep up?

Even the breath became misty.

The Elf King increased his speed again, and the surrounding trees were retreating crazily.

"Hurry up, hurry up..." Xingye kept urging as if she had lost her mind. Rather than urging the Elf King, it was better to say that she was urging herself.

Her back was wet with Lin Fan's blood, and she could clearly feel the terrifying [Destruction] raging inside Lin Fan's body!

Lin Fan's body was rapidly shattering and trembling involuntarily.

[Immortality] is indeed powerful, but this is [Destruction]!

Lin Fan's [Immortality] was only borrowed from Poseidon's shadow, and its strength was not even as strong as the [Immortality] that Poseidon had mastered back then!

And [Destruction] came from the hand of Zeus. Even if Zeus tried his best to withdraw in the end, the intensity is still sixteen levels!

"Don't die, you are not allowed to die!"

Xingye gritted his teeth and whispered, forcing himself crazily and pouring out his divine power.

His lungs began to hurt, and all the muscles in his body were torn.

She has never felt this way since she mastered the divine power, but at this moment, with the crazy operation of Mo Yin's technique, she seemed to have returned to the time when she was a child and was trained under the supervision of her parents and exhausted four hundred meters.

Although four hundred meters does not sound as good as two thousand meters or five thousand meters, it is the most tiring sports event.

This is an awkward distance. It requires sprinting with full strength from beginning to end, squeezing all the strength from the whole body in the shortest possible time and pushing the limits.

Xingye, who was only ten years old at the time, was always sprinting like crazy at all costs, because only by meeting her parents' requirements would she receive their parents' satisfied smiles and love.

Otherwise, he would turn around and leave, leaving her to practice alone on the playground.

The little girl who ran wildly on the playground knew that only she was good enough to deserve to be loved.

And now.

Everything seems to have returned to its original point. Only by running faster can I be loved!

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

All the divine power in Xingye's body has been exhausted, but she still desperately urges the Elf King and herself!

And the next moment.

"Xingye," Lin Fan's faint words suddenly came from behind Xingye, "I like you."

Starry Night was lost for a moment.

"What are you talking about!" Xingye gasped with disordered breathing and sweat on his forehead.

Damn it, is this a confession!

Who will confess at this time!

Before Xingye could blush, Lin Fan's body behind him suddenly twitched violently again, and more blood fell on Xingye's back.

Xingye's eyes suddenly turned frightened, this was backlash!

"Why are you talking about this now!" Xingye whispered: "You, you are seriously injured now, you will die faster!"

"It is precisely because I am seriously injured and can't live anymore that I dare to say..." Lin Fan said with a relieved smile: "I always worry too much. Normally, I am afraid of the backlash and I don't dare to joke with my own life."

"It's not that I'm afraid of death, it's that I can't die."

"But now, it doesn't matter."

"When I was acting with Xiao Qingmu, weren't you very angry? Now I don't pretend anymore, Xingye, I like you."

Lin Fan knew that it would be difficult for him to survive, so he no longer had any worries at this time.

At this moment, he had a lot of regrets.

After returning to this life, he will eventually die.

He still failed to protect Daxia to the end.

He still failed to kill all the gods.

But I am sorry, but I am not sorry at all.

Because I have tried my best.

And I left a treasure bag in the drawer of the dormitory, which contained the corresponding characteristics and coping strategies of the subsequent temples.

Today's Daxia is much stronger than the previous life. Lin Fan knows that with the subsequent strategy and step-by-step development, Daxia is enough to deal with the next temples.

And the gods of Daxia have also grown up. The Great Sage, Lu Bu, and the First Emperor have reached the fourteenth level. If I ignore the rules, I am no longer the strongest fighter in Daxia.

But is there really no regret?

No, there is still.

Lin Fan suddenly found his deepest regret.

Except for that brief expression of his feelings, he has not said any sweet words to Xingye, and he has not even hugged him, let alone been sweet together every day like other young couples.

It seems that the time they spend together is either fighting or training.

The so-called date is either fighting with gods or practicing with weapons.

He has never even confessed his love.

He seems to have ignored too much.

Lin Fan used his shattered body to hold Xingye tightly with his last bit of strength, and whispered behind Xingye: "Xingye, I like you."

"I like you so much. But, but I don't know what love words to say, but I really like you so much."

Lin Fan was like a fool, repeating this sentence over and over again.

Facing Xiao Qingmu, he spoke love words one after another.

But at this moment, he seemed to have become a dumb idiot, and could only

\u003cfont color=red\u003e # Please do not use the invisible mode every time verification appears! \u003c/font\u003e

clumsily express his emotions.

Lin Fan seemed to have lost his sense of pain, the mask crawled on his face, and the spikes pierced into his body, but he still repeated it.

"Don't say it, don't say it! You will be killed by the backlash!" Xingye said in a trembling voice.

She imagined that Lin Fan could get rid of the mask and say some love words to her, but she had never thought of such a clumsy love word under the dying state.

Xingye turned around and wanted to see Lin Fan, but when she turned around, she only felt the warmth of his lips, and the boy's smile full of blood was extremely brilliant.

"You..." Xingye was stunned for a moment.

Lin Fan did not answer, and the clumsy love words that kept repeating also stopped.

He completely fainted, almost dead, and even his heartbeat began to slowly stop.

"How far is it! Faster!!" Xingye's eyes were red, and he shouted loudly without caring about the exhaustion of divine power.

"Then you catch up." The Elf King said slowly.

"Boom!!"

The Elf King's terrifying momentum completely broke out, and a little light was diffused around his body. His speed instantly increased to the peak of the fourteenth level!

"Bang!"

Xingye's speed also increased rapidly, but after only a few steps, she suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, her legs burst open, and her body staggered suddenly.

Xingye was unaware of it. She looked at the Elf King and gritted her teeth and said, "Faster!"

The Elf King's speed reached the fifteenth level. He frowned and looked at Xingye, wondering how this human race could keep up with him with the strength of the twelfth level.

The body that had already exhausted divine power began to tear because of the speed that exceeded the limit, and Xingye's legs continued to crack.

But Xingye had only one thought in her mind, hurry up, and hurry up!

But she was already dizzy, and her physical strength was almost at its limit.

"I won't let you die!"

"In fact, most of the time, I don't want Daxia at all, I just want to be by your side..."

"As long as I'm good enough... As long as I'm strong enough..."

Xingye gritted her teeth, but her speed had begun to slow down.

Just as she gritted her teeth and took the last step.

"Boom!"

Behind Xingye, an invisible figure suddenly burst out!

The figure was particularly blurry, but the dagger in his hand was exactly the same as the Yuchang sword used by Xingye!

He looked at the assassin who was running desperately, as if racing against the god of death, and smiled.

This is very much like himself back then.

The target that could never be caught up.

"The inheritor, your will is in line with mine again."

"This time, I won't catch up again."

"Emperor, do you really think I can't catch up with you?"

He laughed up to the sky.

How could a real assassin not catch up with the target?

How could he be pulled away by the clumsy running around the pillar?

He was personally selected by a country and was an assassin who carried countless hopes!

But he knew that the man he was going to assassinate carried the hopes of the entire era and the hopes of the whole world!

He released more water that day than the Pacific Ocean. When he threw the dagger, he was afraid that he would throw it a little bit accurately.

"Who said that my Daxia assassin is not good at running!"

"Boom!"

The rolling divine power gushed out and rushed into Xingye's body. In just a moment, Xingye's body was completely restored, and even...

"Boom!"

Behind Xingye, the assassin's godhood shone and rose!

From the twelfth level to the fourteenth level!

The Moyin technique is even more exquisite!

At this time, Xingye's ink-colored figure disappeared instantly.

The Elf King was stunned for a short time. At this moment, even he who was connected to this forest could not sense the assassin behind him.

"This..."

Suddenly, the figure appeared in front of the Elf King!

"Hurry up!" Xingye looked back at the Elf King, and the terrifying speed he burst out instantly opened up the distance with the Elf King!

The Elf King quickened his pace and whispered, "This time, we seem to have found an incredible comrade."

Soon after, the Elf King stopped.

In front of him was a huge tree.

No, huge is not enough to describe it. The thick trunk occupied Xingye's entire field of vision. There was no end in sight. It seemed that even the Titans looked small under this tree.

The emerald green leaves covered the sky, as if covering the entire sky, and the sky above was completely invisible.

This was the deepest part of the Forest of Divine Beasts.

And under the tree, there was a spring that was glittering with starlight.

"Great Earth Ancestor Spirit, please forgive my presumption." The Elf King saluted the tree respectfully, "This person is related to the fate of my elves and the Divine Beasts. Please open the connection with the Supreme."

Standing up, the Elf King pointed to the spring and said to Xingye, "Put him in."

Xingye carried Lin Fan on his back and approached the spring carefully. After looking at it for a few times, he did not feel any threat, took a deep breath, and gently put Lin Fan into the spring with hope in his eyes.

Lin Fan slowly sank in the spring.

When Lin Fan, covered in blood, touched the spring water, the wounds on his body stopped bleeding instantly, and even the mask became quiet.

The Elf King walked to Lin Fan and whispered in his ear: "I don't know if you can hear me, but... you will hear some voices, some kind voices."

"Don't say yes! Don't say yes!"

After repeating it several times, the Elf King sighed, and a murderous look appeared in his eyes: "I hope his thoughts are firm enough... Otherwise, I can only kill him here directly..."

"You dare!" Xingye clenched the dagger and blocked Lin Fan.

"Forget it, let's do business first." The Elf King clapped his hands.

Suddenly.

"Boom!"

A giant slowly walked out from behind the giant tree.

"Titan?" Xingye suddenly became nervous.

"No, not the Titans, but the Wise Giants. The giants of the Giant Kingdom." The Elf King shook his head and looked at the giants: "The Wise Giant Mimir."

"The Wishing Fountain is guarded by him and me."

"The Wishing Fountain can satisfy any wish." The giant whispered: "But you have to pay a price. Wishing... is not free. Everyone has to pay a price. Even Odin is no exception."

It's called a wish, but it seems more like an exchange.

Xingye didn't hesitate at all: "I hope to heal him!"

"The injury caused by destruction..." The Wise Giant looked at Lin Fan with deep eyes full of wisdom, and then said: "What's the price. Odin dug out his right eye to gain [Wisdom]. And you erase [Destruction]. What price are you willing to pay?"

Xingye was silent for a moment, touched Lin Fan's face, and whispered: "My price is..."

…

………

Lin Fan seemed to fall into the abyss, but suddenly, his body seemed to fall on soft cotton.

The abyss in front of him was suddenly illuminated by a very strong light.

A vague figure appeared in front of Lin Fan.

It was a woman's figure, holding a white horn in her hand, fourteen pairs of white wings showing their brilliance, and the gentle face whispered: "I am Gabriel. I came to fulfill my wish."

"I am Gabriel. I came to fulfill my wish."

"I am Gabriel. I came to fulfill my wish."

Her voice was like countless echoes, majestic and gentle.

"I saw your life."

"A modified life... Your world needs to be saved. When we were away, the lower world was already so chaotic."

"I will come in your body, rebuild order, and sweep across the divine world. I will blow the angel's horn to protect your home, okay?"

As if bewitched by the voice, Lin Fan's consciousness was a little fuzzy. He was not even afraid or shocked, but stared blankly at this vague figure.

He subconsciously agreed.

And the next moment.

"Don't say yes! Don't say yes!"

A voice exploded like thunder in Lin Fan's ears!

Suddenly, Lin Fan's consciousness became clear.

A red color instantly gushed out of Lin Fan's body, and his firm thought allowed him to resist the angel's temptation!

Gabriel!

The legendary Seraph!

And he was responsible for guarding the Garden of Eden... In other words...

"Heaven?" Lin Fan whispered, feeling the seemingly gentle breath that even Zeus was terrified.

"You actually know... Since you know the authority of my Heaven, then," Gabriel nodded slightly and repeated: "Come with your body and carry the supreme glory of the Lord, okay?"

"Come with my body... You can't leave Heaven by yourself?" Lin Fan frowned.

Gabriel was silent for a moment, and repeated again: "Come with your body, okay?"

But before Lin Fan could answer.

"Wait, so evil... You, you have his breath on you!" The gentle voice suddenly became terrified and angry, "You are his descendant!"

"Are you talking about Cain?" Lin Fan was stunned for a moment. The only thing that could be related to Heaven on his body was the exiled Killing Walker.

"The beginning of all evil, the exiled man who slaughtered the son of the Son of God!" Gabriel was extremely angry: "You are not worthy of being the vessel of the Angel of Order, you descendant of evil! You are the enemy of Heaven!"

"Boom!!"

A silver-white long sword appeared in her hand, and fourteen pairs of wings burned with terrifying flames, slashing down like a judgment!

That sword was extremely terrifying!

Lin Fan had never seen such a terrifying sword before. The aura was nothing special, but it seemed to be more powerful than the rules, or it was condensed with countless rules!

The power of the Angel of Order! The power of the Seven Angels Gabriel!

Power from heaven!

That sword was enough to easily destroy Lin Fan.

Lin Fan condensed the Shura Sword and tried to block it, but the terrifying white light instantly melted Tian Congyun!

And at the moment when the terrifying white light fell!

Someone seemed to be talking.

"Okay, drag him out quickly. This kid is about to sink. Not only can this spring make wishes, it is also very dangerous. It is connected to existences we cannot afford to mess with. If he sinks...wait for him to come out again, we will not , there will be trouble in the entire God Realm.”

"Wow~"

It seemed like someone had dragged themselves out of some liquid.

Everything disappears again.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Why are you still sleepwalking?"

"Lin Fan, wake up, wake up."

Lin Fan suddenly felt someone calling him.

Everything seemed to disappear, and there seemed to be an anchor point in the abyss that pulled Lin Fan's consciousness back.

Lin Fan slowly opened his eyes and saw a man standing in front of him, looking at him with concern.

"Jin, Mr. Jin?" Lin Fan frowned and looked around.

The white ward came into view, with tubes inserted all over his body, and the cold machine was beating with an electrocardiogram.

Mr. Jin breathed a sigh of relief and asked the medical staff to check Lin Fan while saying, "Are you stupid? Can't you see that this is Daxia's ward?"

"But I remember that I was obviously dead, and [Destruction] tore my body apart..." Lin Fan frowned.

"That's Xingye..." Mr. Jin subconsciously wanted to say something, but then he waved his hand with a cryptic look, "Forget it, it was Xingye who carried you back anyway. Xingye will wake up later, so I can tell you myself."

As he spoke, Mr. Jin picked up a fresh apple and began to peel it.

Lin Fan looked around: "Where is Mr. Chen."

"Stop talking, Mr. Chen has fallen in love with farming recently. He spends the whole day with a bunch of people in white coats on the land." Mr. Jin pursed his lips toward the window.

Lin Fan looked out the window and saw blue waves rolling into the sky, with figures and large equipment busy among them.

Apparently a good harvest is coming.

Lin Fan exhaled.

The harvest always makes people feel happy.

Unexpectedly, in this era of famine, Daxia would not only not go hungry, but also...

"Wait a minute," Lin Fan suddenly felt something was wrong, "It's wrong!"

Lin Fan looked at the fresh apple in Old Jin's hand, then looked at the blue waves outside, and frowned.

wrong!

Very wrong!

It should be impossible to farm in Daxia now!

The god of agriculture is withering the crops. Although the whole summer will not starve to death, all the crops will wither and turn yellow, and the land will be barren and cracked.

How could there be fresh apples and wheat fields about to be harvested?

You know, although Daxia will not be hungry now, the fruits that the people eat should have been frozen in cold storage for several months!

"Am I still dead? This is a hallucination before death...it seems pretty good." Lin Fan sighed.

"What are you talking about? Are you crazy again?" Mr. Jin frowned.

"Don't lie to me. I know that it is impossible for Daxia to produce food now." Lin Fan smiled complicatedly at Mr. Jin: "But it's really good that I can see you in the hallucination before I die."

"It's impossible to produce food? Illusion?" Mr. Jin frowned and wanted to explain something, but after thinking about it, he said: "Forget it, wait until Mr. Chen comes over to explain to you. His routine is very troublesome. ”

"Here, eat an apple."

Mr. Jin stuffed a piece of apple into Lin Fan's mouth.

Feeling the sweetness and sourness, Lin Fan suddenly had a feeling, wasn't this an illusion?

It tastes so real!

Lin Fan's eyes suddenly turned white and he looked at Mr. Jin.

Has a soul!

Isn't this an illusion?

"Hit me." Lin Fan looked at Mr. Jin.

"ah?"

\u003cfont color=red\u003e#Every time verification appears, please do not use incognito mode! \u003c/font\u003e

"Don't worry so much, just hit me!"

"Okay." Mr. Jin looked at Lin Fan like a fool, sighed reluctantly, and raised his palm.

"Snapped!"

"It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt at all... Is it really still a hallucination?" Lin Fan shook his head in disappointment and looked at the ceiling: "After all, it was just a hallucination before death."

Mr. Jin covered his red and swollen right hand, bared his teeth and cursed: "What the hell are you sick! I am an eighth-grade powerful person who beats you as a high-level god. It's strange that it hurts you! I'm sorry for my age, my hands They were almost shattered!"

Lin Fan was stunned for a moment.

It seems so.

Lin Fan simply called out the Shura Knife and prepared to cut himself a small incision.

But the moment Tian Congyun appeared, the dark Shura Sword actually glowed with white light.

"Zi la la~"

A burning sensation instantly appeared in Lin Fan's hand, and Lin Fan let go immediately.

"Zi la la~"

The floor melted instantly at this moment!

Lin Fan quickly recalled Tian Congyun.

Looking at his right hand, which was burned with flesh and blood and split open, Lin Fan smiled brightly: "It hurts! It hurts!"

"Nonsense, how can it not hurt if you are burned like this! You are still laughing your ass off. Are you really beaten stupid?" Mr. Jin cursed and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Medical team, come again, minor burns!"

"I'm not stupid! I, I mean I'm still alive!" Lin Fan laughed excitedly, "This is real! This is not fake! You are real! This is real!"

"It's true that I'm not stupid, but it's a pity that I'm crazy..." Mr. Jin sighed and picked up the walkie-talkie: "Two more neurologists will come over and take a look..."

"No, I'm not crazy." Lin Fan smiled happily: "This injury doesn't require a medical team. I have my own method."

Poseidon's shadow once again wears the ocean crown.

"Immortality" emerges!

But this time, even "Immortal" couldn't quickly heal the burns on his hands. Lin Fan lasted for a full five minutes, but the burns were only slightly healed.

It seemed that the power that burned Lin Fan was stronger than the rules!

Even if you have rules, you can't touch them!

"This is..." Lin Fan frowned, recalling the terrifying white light on the Shura sword, and suddenly seemed to think of something.

"That was not a dream... I really saw an angel, and I was even almost killed by an angel."

"Are you still crazy..." Mr. Jin sighed, why did this kid act real and fake as soon as he came back, and now even angels have come out.

"No, I really saw an angel, I..."

Lin Fan paused mid-sentence. He didn't know why he saw that kind of thing.

But recalling the terrifying aura, Lin Fan suddenly understood Zeus' fear.

Heaven is real!

And if it weren't for the voice ringing in his ears, he almost agreed to the other party and became the "container" in the other party's mouth!

Lin Fan closed his eyes and felt it: "Tian Congyun was enveloped by that holy light at that time... and then it became like that. It was polluted, polluted by a higher-level power..."

There seemed to be something hidden in Tian Congyun within his body, but as soon as he felt it, he felt a heartbreaking pain.

Lin Fan knew what it was.

That is the power from heaven!

Power from Gabriel!

The power that almost wiped out himself colored Tian Congyun, making him unable to use it anymore, and even ghosts and gods couldn't touch it!

"But the other party is obviously so powerful and can even kill me easily. Why did he have to let me say "yes" in the first place to make me a "container"?"

Lin Fan couldn't figure this out, so he simply stopped thinking about it.

It seems that Zeus also said at that time that the angel asked him to say "yes" and let him become some kind of "vessel".

"It's a pity that there are only ten fist swords left in the Shura Sword." Lin Fan sighed, but he wasn't too sad. After all, one is enough. In any case, it is a famous artifact of Gao Tianyuan's divine system.

Thanks to Gao Tianyuan for the gift.

But compared to these questions, what made Lin Fan even more confused was...

"Why can he talk to me...I'm being targeted just like Zeus?"

"But I haven't become the God King, and I haven't reached the peak of the 18th level either..."

In Lin Fan's previous conversation with Zeus, Lin Fan learned that it seemed that only the strongest could faintly perceive the kingdom of heaven. And he is not considered the strongest in front of Zeus, Odin, Cronus and the Dragon King.

And the next moment.

"Squeak~"

The door opened.

Xingye walked into the room and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lin Fan: "Lin Fan, you're awake."

"Ah, Xingye." Lin Fan nodded and asked worriedly and doubtfully: "How did you save me? You don't know how to fight with demons..."

"You would rather die than sign it. How could I sign a contract with the devil? And Crowley didn't come to me at all..." Xingye comforted: "Don't worry."

Lin Fan felt relieved now. He knew Xingye's character. Although she seemed weak, she was definitely not the kind of person who would give in to the devil.

Mr. Jin on the side frowned and said, "What kind of demon? Why are all the demons coming out?"

"Let him explain to you later. Let's drink a cup of milk tea first." Xingye took out a cup of milk tea.

"Just let this kid get used to you." Mr. Jin glanced at Lin Fan helplessly and said, "You have been in coma for three days. Xingye is afraid of your backlash, so he feeds you a cup of milk tea every day, mouth-to-mouth..."

Xingye's pretty face turned red: "Shut up."

Lin Fan was moved to pick up the milk tea. He knew he would wake up later... but he didn't know if it was too late to pretend to be comatose now.

"Wait, this seems to be a way to avoid backlash," Lin Fan murmured thoughtfully: "As long as you knock me out, it will think that I am unaware. Then if you take sleeping pills and the great monster at the same time, Brother, although I can't move, Xingye can move...how should Master Mask deal with it?"

Lin Fan had exhausted all his efforts in order to scheming with the mask.

Lin Fan even had a feeling that the mask was the master and he was the puppet... It was only when he was about to die from the backlash that he became the master regardless of it.

To be honest, if I hadn't been in a bad state at the beginning, I would have definitely seized the opportunity, done everything I had to do, and tried out all my daily fantasies... Well, remember to save some strength before you die next time...

But the next moment.

Lin Fan's eyes widened.

Xingye seemed to realize something, and quickly let go of the milk tea and hid her hands behind her back.

"Wow!"

Milk tea was scattered all over the floor.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Fan asked in a dry voice.

Xingye did not dare to look directly at Lin Fan and whispered: "It's nothing. No, it's nothing."

"Take your hands out."

"Lin Fan..."

"Please, take your hands out." Lin Fan said with a trembling voice.

Looking at Lin Fan who was staring straight at him, Xingye was silent for a moment and slowly took out his left hand hidden behind his back.

The cold palm reflected the light of metal.
