Thousands of miles away, in the east of the imperial capital, in the south of the city of Shadingher, less than two days away from the city, there is a lake called Ares. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The area of the lake is not small, covering an area of dozens of hectares, the scenery of the lake is beautiful, and the lake and mountains reflect each other.

It's a pity that the location here is deep in the dense forest, and there is both magnificence and danger, otherwise it must be a well-known attraction.

Directly across from the lake, in the direction of Shadinghull, there was a hill, and on the hill, a wooden door hidden in the grass had been smashed open.

There was a lot of blood all around the wooden door, and there was a putrid stench coming from the cave, destroying the beautiful scenery around it.

Following the winding tunnel of the entrance, through several chambers of various sizes, to a depth of 100 meters underground, directly below Lake Ares, there is a large natural cave.

There are traces of artificial carving on all sides of the cave, and on the basis of the original, it has been enlarged to form a magnificent underground hall.

The spacious hall of the underground palace was full of corpses lying on the ground at this time, some of them were covered with thin red robes, and some were covered with solid blue-yellow scale armor, obviously belonging to different camps, but they looked like they were both defeated and died together.

If it weren't for that, wouldn't there be anyone collecting the body?

In the center of the depths of the hall, there is a platform that rises three or four meters above the surrounding area, which is trapezoidal, and is a hundred steps square, just like the eaves cliff protruding on the stone wall on the other three sides of the cave.

In the middle of the staircase, there is a huge and hideous stone statue of the Demon God.

The stone statue is ten meters high, and the image is a demon with teeth and claws, with four arms, and I don't know which lord of the annihilation plane it is.

It's a pity that this imposing stone statue has been broken, and the two arms on the right side of the demon have been broken together, and the fracture shows some charred black marks, and there are many stone chips underneath.

In front of the golem there is a row of smashed sarcophagi, and behind the sarcophagus is a pillared altar that has fallen to the ground.

In front of the tattered sarcophagus, a bald-headed red-robed man was kneeling, as if in repentance.

He kept his head down, unable to see clearly.

If you look closely, where is this person repenting, he has clearly lost the traces of his life!

A sword stabbed diagonally upwards from his abdomen, revealing a large blood-stained tip from his back, the blood drying up and soaking the ground in a dark red.

He is obviously dead, but at first glance, people only feel that he is repenting and guilty.

He seemed to be silently praying, pleading, and repenting, until the last moment of his life, he did not care about his life or death, but only hoped to be forgiven!

His posture is also like atoning for his sins, atoning for his own sins with his life.

Suddenly, a black and red mist evaporated from his body.

The smog is unpredictable, like freshly baked steam, sometimes diffusing and sometimes condensing.

I don't know how long it took, the haze became thicker, the red light faded, and the darkness was revealed, almost like a cluster of burning and dancing black flames!

The hazy fog surface also began to appear hemispherical protrusions!

Woo~babble~

Hee~hee~

Strange sounds began to come out of the black fog, like many babies frolicking inside.

There are more and more protrusions on the surface of the black fog, more and more dense, and more and more clear!

It was a fist-sized grimace!

Countless grimaces, their expressions are different, but they all look extremely vicious, showing the negativity of human nature, like howling and crying.

They whimpered, frantically rushing left and right in the black mist,

They are like a group of thugs in a cage, eager to be released!

Rumble!

There was a buzzing sound, and the black-red mist expanded violently, and then suddenly contracted!

In an instant, the black flame that rose to the sky, along with the countless grimaces, was all sucked into the kneeling corpse in the center of the darkness!

At the same time, the huge and mutilated stone statue of the Demon God, the eyes inlaid with black gems, suddenly flashed a trace of scarlet light.

It grinned and looked down.

"Express Express! Dark Horse Express Today's News! Major News! Behind the Emperor's Assassination! Major Conspiracy!"

"Sell newspapers and sell newspapers! Only 10 Septin copies are needed! Today there is another major news! The follow-up to the conspiracy of the emperor's assassination! The rise of the dragoons! The imperial dragoons have successfully eliminated the cult behind the assassination 10 days ago!"

Just returned to the city of Koloel, returned the horses, and before the plan was discussed, the dark horse speed, which was quite famous among the commoners everywhere, dropped a bombshell again after breaking the news of the "truth" of the emperor's assassination case in the early morning.

This time, the news turned out to be a follow-up to an incident that even Ling Qi didn't know.

Dropping a copper, he took a newspaper from a vendor walking by, and the eye-catching headline showed the blood behind it in bright red letters.

Doomsday cult? The self-proclaimed dawn of dawn? The headquarters has been breached? A righteous operation planned by the prime minister and fully supported by nobles from all over the world has been a great success? The Blade Guardian refuses to join the war? The silence of the blade master Gaphael? The flailed tiger?

One by one, the exciting news, after artistic processing, fully achieved the purpose of the behind-the-scenes promoter.

Just a few days ago, the Blade Guard, which was praised by the people of the whole country, was once again questioned.

If it weren't for the long-standing reputation of the Blade Guard, and the prestige was still there, I am afraid that Gafir, the master of the blade, would not be able to sit still.

At that moment, a little beggar suddenly rushed to the side of the road and hit Antorel.

This assassin girl, who was not necessarily much worse than the average blade guard, couldn't dodge.

Out of the corner of her eye, Ling Qi caught a glimpse of a note in her palm.

Got news?!

Ling Qi's spirit was shocked, he had long known that there was a powerful organization behind Antorel, and even this organization was most likely the Dark Brotherhood that could stop children from crying at night!

Regardless of whether this organization is a Dark Brotherhood or not, with Antoriel's strength, a place that can cultivate such a powerful assassin, even if it is not a Brotherhood, will not be too far behind, otherwise where would she be wearing a Dark Brotherhood suit?

This kind of organization must have mature and stable information channels.

This kind of internal information of the organization is not comparable to Dark Horse Express.

Antoreel obviously didn't mean to hide it from Ling Qi, otherwise this little beggar wouldn't have appeared at all, and she wouldn't have shown her flaws, even if Ling Qi glanced at it a hundred more times.

Don't think about it, it's not difficult to guess, I'm afraid that this organization has the same mind as him, and has the intention of preliminary "contact"!

He dared to give the amulet to Antorell to forge it, which was a temptation.

If you succeed, the road will be smooth sailing, even if you evil Gaphael, there is another powerful force to rely on, but you just accidentally interrupted the mission.

If you lose, it's time to think about saving your life and waiting to return.

Antorell brought back the true amulet, and it was also a response, the response that Ling Qi expected!

Now, here comes the second response!

Sure enough, Antorell walked quickly to Ling Qi's side and opened the note in front of him, and there were only a few words on it!

"Martin Septdin!"

Martin?!

Ling Qi frowned slightly!

Who is he?

.........

A gloomy environment, with a slight damp mark in the corner, and some cobwebs on the messy clutter.

It is surrounded by gray walls with a cold stony glow.

This is a private prison that occupies an area of less than two meters, or a large iron cage two meters long, one and a half meters wide, and two meters and six meters high.

It sits in the innermost part of the basement, and from the outside, most of it is covered by a stacked glove box in the middle, and only a corner of the iron cage fence can be seen.

This is the cellar of a private house in the western part of the city of Colore, but who would set up such a facility in their home?

Good citizens certainly don't, and they don't have that right.

Legal imprisonment was a privilege reserved for the nobility of the field, as they could even make laws in their fiefdoms, as long as they did not conflict with the imperial constitution.

Click!

Behind the pile of debris, there was movement in the cage, followed by a man's low moan.

Smack.

The imprisoned creature seemed to try to roll over, followed by a series of moans and violent gasps, and the chains clashed and rubbed with a clanging sound. Then, the sound of breathing behind the pile of debris began to fade, and the movement disappeared, as if this simple action had exhausted his strength.

With a bit of movement, the man's small body finally emerged from behind the large pile of debris, and through the rows of rusted fences, a shaggy and scarred thigh in shorts could be seen!

It's actually a tiger man!

The tiger man twitched visibly again, then stopped moving.

In the northwest outside the city of Koloel, there is a mass grave, no one has taken the initiative to name it, but its various terrifying legends cannot help but leave, and the rumors are boiling in the city.

Outside the mass grave, there is a dead forest, connected to the large forest beneath Koloving.

But in contrast to the large and lush forest, there is only a large patch of old dry trees.

In the past, the old trees were always full of crows, but today, these greedy miscellaneous pieces are much more sparse!

No, they don't *forage!

In the depths of the woods, around a certain inconspicuous dead tree, there were dense scavengers!

Quack!

The crows fluttered around the dead tree, as if dotted with dense black foliage for the dead locust tree!

Through the large black gaps, you can vaguely see the culprit who caused the red-eyed crow to riot in the nest!

It was a thin corpse that had been hung up, and the corpse had been pecked so badly that the bones were exposed!

There were a lot of bits and pieces scattered at the foot of the corpse, flesh, rags, a broken dagger, and a black mysterious card—
