Chapter Seventy-Two: The Betrayer

Sheldon's four divided the work, replacing the hidden gems in the secret room, reactivating and setting runes. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info was busy, and the four of them each held the night pearl and gathered on the edge of the pool. The lanky Sharp crouches down and illuminates the water with the pearl of the night. The water in the pool, which was originally as black as ink, has become clear and transparent.

Sharp reached into the pool, scooped up a handful of water, and let it drip out. Sharp lamented distressedly: "Hundreds of years of accumulation have been consumed overnight. ”

"We should be happy," Viscount Oscar said, "Our hard work has not been in vain! All the shadow energy has been absorbed by Her Highness, which shows that her qualifications are excellent." We have laid the best foundation for His Highness. ”

"But," Baron Dory glanced at Sheldon, "Your Highness was absorbed with Du Shen's boy. We can't be sure exactly how much His Highness will absorb. It's really cheap that cheap. ”

The so-called "cheap mud" naturally refers to Du Shen.

"That's okay," Oscar was still happy, "It seems that His Royal Highness and Du Shen have a very close relationship." Perhaps, Du Shen will really become His Highness's husband. If it is the offspring born of the two of them, it must be better. For the sake of His Highness's heir, our efforts have not been in vain......"

Oscar didn't notice that Sheldon's complexion was getting worse and worse as he made his statement.

Sheldon took a deep breath to hide his true emotions. He half-jokingly dissatisfied: "Oscar, why are you already thinking about Your Highness's heir? Do you think Your Highness will not be able to achieve our ideals? You have pinned your hopes on His Highness's descendants?"

"What's that," Oscar was angry, "even if His Highness revives Shadow Keep, he will need an heir." I think Your Highness's qualifications are good enough......"

"Alright," Sharp shouted, pointing to the pool at his feet, "how long do you think it will take for the elemental pool to be used again?"

The crowd fell silent, as if they were calculating. Oscar began by saying: "Although, the elements are becoming more and more active, the world is recovering. But I think it will take at least 30 years. ”

Dori pursed his lips and shook his head lightly: "I can't stop watching." At least fifty years!"

Du Shen walked out of the mine and found that the morning sun had not yet risen. He rode back to the Earl's Court in the city of Golden Sands. Du Shen and Teresa had a simple meal and went back to their rooms to rest.

Time passed slowly, and there was a quiet movement outside the Golden Sands City. Since the sun rose, a large number of cavalry appeared on the roads on the outskirts of Jinsha City. These cavalrymen did not approach the city, and each sought out hidden positions to station.

At noon, Sheldon and the others drove home. The cavalry on the outskirts received orders one after another and went into action. They arrived at the gates from different directions, either to take over the city defenses or to continue their way to the Earl's Court. Soon, the four gates of Jinsha City were closed one after another. The city guards, who were originally guarding the gates, went to the markets and lively streets. They loudly declared martial law in the city, requiring everyone to return to their homes or seek shelter for a while.

The whole city was in chaos. Those who wanted to leave the city gathered at the gates and asked the new cavalry for a reason. The cavalry simply forcefully dispersed them.

The flow of people in the bazaars and streets, asking the city guards for the reason and duration of martial law. The city guards were just brutally beaten, stressed.

A large number of soldiers patrolled the city, striking anyone they saw. In addition to the vicinity of the Earl's Palace, the whole city was filled with angry scolding, cries, and begs for mercy from the common people.

Slowly, Jinsha City seemed to fall into the night in advance and became quiet.

The chaos of the city did not reach the Earls' Court. The sun was slightly westerly, and Du Shen and Teresa woke up one after another. They walked out of the room, and their long-waiting servants led them to the dining room.

In the dining room, Mr. Garrison is the only one seated. Du Shen and Teresa sat down. The servants immediately poured wine and brought a sumptuous meal one after another.

All three of them were hungry, munching on their heads, and only occasionally taking a sip of wine.

Halfway through lunch, Teressa's speed suddenly slowed down. The girl swallowed her food, sat for a moment, and suddenly said to Garrison, "Uncle, I feel dizzy......"

Du Shen was stunned for a moment, swallowed the food in his mouth: "I ...... it too" Before he finished speaking, Du Shen suddenly threw down the knife and fork, jumped back, and stood up: "No! There is a problem with this food." Someone poisoned!"

"Phew. Garrison spits out the food in his mouth, like an enraged lion. He jumped up and grabbed the two servants nearby: "What's the matter? Is someone really poisoning? You did it?"

The two servants panicked and begged for mercy at the same time: "No. We don't. "How could it be poisoned? My lord, we didn't do it, we didn't dare......"

The two servants looked frightened, and it didn't look like they were lying. Garrison asks two questions, pushing them both hard. He turned around and asked, "Theresa, is someone really poisoned?"

Teressa's eyes were misty, and she shook her head and said, "I don't know." I just feel dizzy. ”

Du Shen felt dizzy more and more obviously. He secretly mobilized the elemental flame to try to get rid of the toxin: "Uncle, you don't feel it?"

"I ......" Garrison squinted, taking in his physical state. He quickly became furious, "Damn, someone did poison someone!" Garrison pulled the dazed Teresa up, "Du Shen, let's go!"

Du Shen followed. The three of them hadn't walked a few steps before several figures streamed in through the door of the restaurant. There were more and more figures, forming a human wall and blocking the gate, and there were as many as twelve people in total.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!" Garrison stopped, also stopping Du Shen beside him.

Twelve figures, one after the other, raised their swords and pointed at Garrison. Behind them, someone walked in the door again. The people who came were Sheldon, Sharp, and Dory.

"Sheldon," Garrison yelled angrily, "what are you trying to do? Why did you poison your lunch?"

"Poisoned," Sheldon was both shocked and innocent, "how is that possible? Is there some misunderstanding? Let me call all the cooks and servants and ask for clarification. ”

Garrison sneered, "Don't pretend, they, how do you explain?" Garrison pointed to the twelve knights in front of Sheldon, "Why didn't you see Oscar? where is he?"

"Oscar," Sheldon hung his head, as if grief, "hasn't he been brutally murdered by you?

Garrison raised his eyebrows in anger and hatred, "You actually killed Oscar!" Garrison shook his head sadly, "Time is the most terrible thing in the world!

Facing Garrison's hateful gaze, Sharp turned his head to dodge, Dorry sneered indifferently, and Sheldon sighed long, as if with bitterness: "Old friend, don't blame us. We are so tired! We waited for a long time, struggled and tried again and again, only to get painful failure. Because there is no hope of success......"

"Excuse," Garrison spat disdainfully, "I think it's because you've been corrupted by the wealth and power at hand, and you've long forgotten your ideals and oaths." ”

Du Shen looked at Teressa, who was already unconscious. He endured it a few times, and finally reminded: "Uncle, they are stalling for time. I want to wait for the effect of the medicine to ......"

Garrison sneered lightly, "I'm stalling too." They don't know that I already have the strength of the Earth Knight, and I have my own way to detoxify. ”

Sheldon, Sharp, and Dory change color at the same time. Dori sneaked back to the door. Sharp stood still, his face regretful. Sheldon instantly regained his composure.

Sheldon shook his head, giving people a bitter feeling: "Old friend, I can't either." You have to prepare that boy for His Highness to be a husband. Have you ever thought about my feelings? My family and I have worked hard for hundreds of years, but have we ever been rewarded? I want my grandson to serve the temple ......"

"Shut up," Garrison shook his head in frustration, "Sheldon, I didn't expect you to fall to such a point." They actually kept asking for something in return! The friendship between you and me has been completely severed today!"

"Then don't blame me," Sheldon scowled, "I'll grab that remnant with my own hands and torture all the secrets with my own hands......"

"I'll destroy your family first!" Garrison scolded.

"Woo ......", "Woo Woo ......", "Woo Woo ......" several melodious horn sounds came from different directions one after another.

Sheldon was ecstatic, pointing in all directions, "Do you hear me? Garrison, that's the sound of my army getting ready." The gates of the city have been sealed, and thousands of soldiers patrol the streets. Outside the Earl's Palace, eight hundred marksmen were closely surrounded. In the mansion, hundreds of knights can rush in at any time. And they ......"

Sheldon pointed to the twelve knights in front of him, "They're all knights! Garrison, even if you're a knight of the earth." How far can you rush out? Can you rush out of the Earl's Court, can you rush out into the streets, or can you rush to the entrance of the city gate?"

"Especially," Sheldon stomped his feet in quick succession, pointing at the sleeping Teressa, "you'll have to be distracted by that burden! Garrison, you can't escape." You will die in this city!" Sheldon raised his hand, gesturing back and forth between his neck.

"And what about me?" asked abruptly in the cafeteria. That's Du Shen.

"You," Sheldon shrugged his shoulders dismissively, "who knows, in which corner of the chaos you'll die?"

"Hahaha......" Du Shen chuckled, his voice getting louder and louder, and finally turned into a wild laugh. Thanks to the vibration emitted by the elemental fire, Du Shen's laughter was heard at least fifty or sixty meters away. The knights on stand by in the courtyard heard it clearly.

"What a stupid joke," Du Shen lowered his head slightly, put his hand on his forehead, and lamented with pity, "O pathetic human beings......!

As if there was an invisible megaphone, Du Shen's lamentation was at least hundreds of meters away. At least, everyone in the Earl's Court heard it clearly.

"Pathetic human," Du Shen's voice grew louder and louder, penetrating the Earl's Court and enveloping half of the city, "I am the Lich King, the King of all wizards. I am the enemy of the temple, I am the king of bones, I am the messenger of death, I am the embodiment of fear. Humans of Golden Sands, you have succeeded in provoking me. As punishment, I will seal the entire city and turn it into a cemetery!"

Almost instantly, Du Shen sensed that within a radius of nine hundred meters, a strong force of fear suddenly filled the air. Du Shen laughed heartily, and the laughter was arrogant, spreading farther away.

Du shook his head at Sheldon with deep pity: "Your Excellency, you don't understand at all what kind of existence you have provoked. As he spoke, dozens of skeletons instantly appeared in front of Du Shen, and they were like white waves, rushing towards Sheldon and the others.
