Chapter 154: Suspicion
"Martina, you seem to have misunderstood," Du Shen frowned in thought, organizing his words, "I remember that I told you from the beginning that I was just using you! Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info From beginning to end, I just used you and treated you as a pawn. ”
Martina's face turned pale, and she said strongly, "How to use it? For what?"
Du groaned deeply and said, "Let's say so." How many years do you think you can live with your current strength?"
Martina was puzzled, and her heart was filled with unease. She thought for a while, and deliberately said, "I should be able to live for three or four hundred years!"
"Three or four hundred years. Du Shen chuckled, and colorful flames erupted from his body. The flames were brilliant, and they were translucent and shrouded Du Shen's whole body, reflecting him like a celestial being.
Du Shen manipulated the flames, constantly changing colors, sometimes golden, sometimes green, sometimes red: "Three or four hundred years, in your opinion, should be a long time, right? However, I think I can live for at least seven or eight thousand years." ”
Martina's face became paler, and she stiffened, "Why do you say that you can live so long?"
Du Shen retracted the flames, turned into a ball, and condensed them in the palm of his hand. Du Shen threw the colorful flames at Martina. Martina subconsciously ducked back. The flames fell on Martina's shoulders and spread rapidly, enveloping her entire body. For a moment, Martina seemed to be wearing a neon dress, which was even more glamorous.
At first, Martina was a little worried. She quickly felt the peace of the flames and the majestic power they contained. Martina's face turned paler and she was dejected.
"Do you feel it?" Du Shen raised his hand, and the flames on Martina's body suddenly flew up and converged towards Du Shen's palm. The flame turned into a rainbow and disappeared into the palm of its hand. Du Shen's figure suddenly dimmed and blurred. It was as if night had suddenly fallen around Du Shen.
"What you see is only a small part of my strength," Du Shen's figure was blurred, but his voice was clear and loud, "Do you think I can live for seven or eight thousand years?"
Martina gritted her teeth, but she didn't answer. Although she already had the answer in her mind.
"Look," Du Shen put away the shadow dragon, "you and I, nothing good will come of you at all." Not because of the difference in origin, status, or wealth, but because of longevity. ”
Martina clenched her fists in despair.
Du Shen continued to strike: "Martina, you should want me to fall in love with you, right? Three or four hundred years later, you died. Should I spend the remaining 7,000 years remembering you? Don't you think it's too cruel?"
"No, no," Martina retorted subconsciously, incoherently, "No. I don't want that. You can forget about me......"
"Forget," Du Shen laughed, "Martina, how can human feelings be forgotten and forgotten? So, Martina, I'm sure to tell you. In this life, I will not fall in love with anyone. Never!"
"No," Martina lost her strength and her legs went limp, "I don't have a chance?"
Du lamented deeply and melancholy: "The immortal is destined to be lonely. Du Shen's eyes fluttered: "Martina, if you really love me." It's time to give up on me. You don't want me to spend hundreds of years in a hurry, only to be worn, if not tens of thousands, of years?"
"I'm ......" Martina was speechless and sat down on the ground.
Martina finally left the Floating City. She walked apatheticly, landing through the portal near the city. She didn't notice that there were several wizards behind her, protecting her from afar. It wasn't until Martina, after a few hesitations, that she stumbled into the chapel in the city. A few wizards quietly left.
The red sunset slowly sets, and the golden afterglow penetrates the window and illuminates the study. In the study, the host and guest sides are tense.
Yevgeny stood up and raised his hand to reassure: "Your Excellency, don't be nervous. We are not here to ask for guilt, but to seek cooperation!"
Teresa raised her hand. Behind her, several Shadow Castle executives slowly retreated. Meghan and the others could not hide their hostility, glaring at the elders and elemental envoys behind Yevgeny.
Teresa stood up and stretched out her hand to invite Yevgeny to take a seat: "Your Excellency, please take a seat. The subordinates are rude, please don't mind. His Excellency the Imam traveled thousands of miles to visit the Shadow Castle in person. I believe that Your Excellency has come here with good intentions. ”
Yevgeny sat down slowly, looking old: "We have come with great sincerity, and we hope that you will not be hypocritical or pretentious. I'm right, right? Shadowcastle is still closely connected to Du Shen. You have been sending a steady stream of wizards to him, and you have continued to grow his power. ”
Teresa pondered briefly and smiled, "We do have a connection with Du Shen. But those wizards were not sent by us, but Du Shen secretly bewitched and smuggled them. ”
Yevgeny frowned, knowing that Teresa was lying, and did not argue. He lamented, "No matter what, Du Shen is growing stronger with the power of Shadow Castle. I know that because of a thousand-year-old vendetta, you hate the Temple. We both worked to the death, and it didn't matter. But innocent civilians should not be implicated!"
Yevgeny was distressed: "You may not know. In recent months, Du Shen has claimed to capture vampires in the north, often massacring civilians in entire villages and villages. Among them, there is no shortage of young children of several years old. You say, how can Du Shen be able to do it?"
Teresa was skeptical, slightly surprised: "Is there really such a thing?"
Yevgeny said solemnly: "You will send someone to the Krem Mountains to find out about this. I didn't fake it in the slightest, and I didn't exaggerate it in the slightest. How can you help such a vicious man!"
Teresa looked solemn: "Don't worry, Patriarch, we will strictly restrain the wizard and no longer give Du Shen a chance to take advantage of it." ”
Evgeny sighed, knowing that he couldn't easily cut off Shadowkeep's support for Du Shen. He retreated: "Your Highness, we are here, in fact, there is a very important matter, please. ”
Teresa looked embarrassed: "Your Excellency, the Shadow Castle is just beginning, weak and embarrassed. If the matter can't even be solved by the temple, we ......"
"Your Highness," interrupted Yevgeny, grieving, "the temple is incompetent, and for the safety of the world, I can only come to you in person." Since Shadow Castle is still in contact with Du Shen. We just want to ask you to inquire clearly, what does Du Shen want to use the cross-border gate for?"
"This ......," Teresa mused.
"Your Highness," Yevgeny pleaded, "the function of the cross-border gate is nothing more than to connect the other worlds. If Du Shen is a native of the human race, what is the use of coming? We are really worried that he has been controlled by the demon king Ayala, and even his soul has been devoured by the demon king. The current Du Shen may be the demon king Ayala who has changed his body!"
"No, it won't. Teresa shook her head in distraction.
Yevgeny solemnly said: "Don't take it lightly! The Ancient Demon King, that is the existence that almost destroyed the world. How can they speculate with common sense? In the battle of sniping the Demon King, Elder Ralph of the Radiant Sanctuary had seen the Demon King's soul fighting for Du Shen's body. Du Shen also personally admitted that he couldn't control his body. Now, Ralph has been killed by Du Shen himself. I'm afraid that it was Ayala's intention to kill her mouth. ”
Teresa worried, thinking to herself. After the battle against the Demon King, Teresa had spent half a day with Du Shen. Recalling Du Shen's performance at that time, Teresa felt that everything was as usual. She was slightly relieved.
Teresa was thinking. Yevgeny's arm suddenly shook slightly. Yevgeny secretly wondered, and calmly said to Teressa: "Your Highness, I ...... Your Highness, can you arrange a quiet room for me? I'm worried that something big is going on. ”
Teresa nodded, summoned the maid, and ordered her to lead Evgeny to a nearby vault. The elders and elemental envoys of the temple naturally followed. Teresa and the other high-ranking officials of Shadow Castle all stayed in the study.
After Yevgeny left for a short while, Captain House of the Guard half-joked: "They are also bold enough to contact and discuss in our territory." Aren't they afraid that we will spy in the shadows and steal their information?"
Megan snorted coldly: "That old man is fine! I guess I have already thought about it." ”
After a while, Yevgeny led the group back to the study. Yevgeny walked to his seat and explained with a smile to everyone: "It's news about Du Shen. Du Shen is also becoming more and more lawless. He went to the wedding of an old friend, and because he thought the bride was beautiful, he injured the groom and snatched the bride away......"
"What?" "What did you say?" Several inquiries rang out in the room at the same time, from Teresa and other Shadowkeep executives.
Teresa stood up suddenly, her eyes widening: "Patriarch, what are you talking about? Du Shen attended someone else's wedding and snatched the bride?
Yevgeny said solemnly: "This matter has been seen by tens of thousands of people in the entire Turing City. How can you fake?"
"Impossible," Teresa shook her head in disbelief, with a slight pain in her heart, "Du Shen is not such a person!
Yevgeny vaguely sensed that Teressa's mood was a little strange. But he didn't care and think deeply. Yevgeny turned his mind and sighed: "The previous Du Shen would definitely not be like this. I'm afraid that he is no longer the real Du Shen. It's Ayala who wears Du Shen's shell. ”
"No!" Teresa was startled and uneasy. She walked towards Yevgeny: "Your Excellency, this news must be fake, right? Can you contact the people in Turing City and make sure again? How could Du Shen rob someone else's woman, and she was the bride at the wedding!"
Evgeny felt even more that Teresa was acting strangely. He suppressed his doubts and took out a metal ring: "I'll contact Elder Sandra in Turing City." ”
Evgeny activates the metal ring, and a light curtain appears in the center of the ring, revealing Sandra's figure. Yevgeny gave a brief greeting and asked Sandra to tell in detail about Du Shen's performance at the wedding.
The people in the study listened to Sandra and the others. Evgeny secretly kept an eye on Teressa's performance.
