Chapter 9: The Rebellion of the Court
The man wore a white scarf and an open red robe, and his neck and head were wrapped with necklaces and ornaments, which reflected dazzling golden light from time to time as he walked.
"Those...... It's all gold? The guard guarding the gate was frightened by the scene, but he soon noticed that something was wrong - many of the ornaments were exclusive to the royal family, a commoner...... No matter how rich you are, you can't have it!
"You're a grave robber!?" A platoon of guards raised their spears in their hands, the tips of cold metal pointed at him, "Who gave you the guts to trespass into the palace!" ”
"Hey, hey." The man did not show any panic in the face of the warning, but playfully allowed the guards to surround him.
"The Palace...... In other words, there must be a king in it? He stared at the guard who had shouted at him with a falcon-like gaze, and unconsciously pointed at himself, "Hey! Isn't the so-called king referring to those who wear gold and silver? ”
"Then I can be considered a king in this outfit!"
"Of course......" his tone changed slightly.
"It's just the king of thieves......"
"What you're carrying—"
"Less wordy!" Fearless of the siege he was in, the man began to ask the guards who were pointing their weapons at him, "I'm not here to talk to you, little reptile!" ”
"Go and sue your Pharaoh."
"The King of Tapir, the king of thieves of Clay Elna, has come to him!"
……
The game originally thought that this mascot-like state would continue all day today, but it didn't expect to have twists and turns so soon...... The commotion coming from outside the palace hall should not be simple, and ordinary events would not allow the noise to spread to this place, let alone the screams mixed with it.
"I finally saw you...... Pharaoh, and six priests. Stepping into the solemn royal court, Tapir Liang's eyes were first attracted by the thousand-year-old treasures worn by the priests, and he made no secret of his desire for these artifacts, "I am here to take the thousand-year-old treasures!" ”
Although they have already made their attitude known...... Tapir Liang did not see any vigilance in the eyes of several priests, who looked at him like rats in the sewers, as if everything he did was just a child's farce.
This seems to be a matter of course, they can be selected from the nobles to control six artifacts, which in itself already shows their excellence, not to mention the incomparable power of those artifacts, as long as they hold them, even in the face of thousands of troops, these priests will not have any fear, because that is the difference between mortal dust and clouds in the sky, not a level at all.
Only Officer Mahatt didn't think so.
He is the master of the thousand-year-old wisdom wheel, this artifact is born with a unique perception of darkness and evil, through the wisdom wheel, he can feel the deep solid-like darkness in the heart of the red-robed man in front of the hall, because of this, he looked at the tapir with a strong sense of jealousy.
"Are you sick, Mahat? Actually showing this gesture to a small thief? Noticing his nervousness, Setter, who was standing at the front of several people, couldn't help but sneer at him.
"Don't be careless, Seth!" Knowing that his colleague was far more arrogant than ordinary people, and knowing that his words were not malicious, Mahatt reminded him not to underestimate his enemies: "The needles of the wheel of wisdom are all pointed to his heart...... Beware of the darkness in his heart! ”
"Do people with vision still have zài...... You smell of dirt and dead bodies, the builder of the tomb of Aknamkano? Shaking his body and throwing the gold and silver that got in his way to the ground, Tapir looked at Mahatt with interest, or rather, at the wheel of wisdom he wore on his chest.
"But alas, that little bit of a broken trap can't stop me...... See, these lovely gold and silver jewelry, and the guy I'm carrying in my hand. He raised his right hand so that everyone could see the rope in his hand more clearly, "It took me a lot of effort to drag him along—"
"You're so bold!!"
Before he could finish speaking, Simon, who was standing on the right hand side of the game, roared, the power in this short old man's body came from nowhere, and he could actually make such a roar, and the game could hear it...... The voice was full of horror and anger, and there was a feeling of longing to blow the tapir's bones to ashes.
How could this old gentleman, who had been so kind to me just a moment ago, suddenly ......?
The game is surprised by Simon's change in style, and he realizes that the problem is most likely in the mummy that Tapir is carrying - the body is shriveled and the whole body is wrapped in circles with gray strips of cloth, which is undoubtedly a mummy, but judging from the decay of the strips of cloth, the corpse was buried not too far away, perhaps, not more than twenty years.
Is it because of it?
With the foreshadowing of Seth and others before, he is now numb to the other party's face that is exactly the same as the real Junliang, and even the similar unscientific name did not make him fuss - it is still the same as before, maybe he is really what Junliang looks like in this era, but that is just something that has happened, and it is part of his lost memory.
He still just needs to sit here and watch, watching the images of these "memories".
"How dare you break into the tomb of Aknamkano...... And also committed such unforgivable crimes! Simon stood on the high platform and stretched out his index finger at His Highness's Tapir, "You, you must be sanctioned." ”
"Priest Seth! Crush his spirit with a thousand-year-old tin staff! ”
"Wait a minute, Mr. Simon!" Karim, the priest holding the Millennium Scale in his hand, stopped Simon, and also called Seth, he pinned the golden scale in his hand to the void, and there was a little surprise in his voice, "The reaction of the Millennium Scale is very strange, it tilts too much!" ”
"Even the millennial scale on which the heart is measured...... Is Mahatt's warning true? Looking at the tray that had fallen to the bottom, Seth's face darkened.
He really didn't want to believe that the thief could really be regarded as a strong man...... But soon, he had to be convinced, because not only Karim, but also the thousand-year-old jewels of Isis and the thousand-year-old eyes of Akrathi had warned their owners to be more vigilant against the enemies before them.
"Shada! Use your artifact to spy into Tapir's heart, I need information about the monster in his heart! ”
"Leave it to me!" Hearing Setter's entrustment, Xia Da immediately raised the thousand-year key in his hand over his shoulder, his eyes were fixed, and the spirit of the whole person had dived into the deepest part of Tapir's heart along the passage of the artifact structure, and then in less than a second, he snorted and fell back, gasping for breath, his eyes full of fear.
"Shada?"
“…… The power of the monster in his heart is so strong that I can't see the whole picture of it. Shada raised her hand to wipe the sweat from her chin and looked at Seth, "A python...... The head alone is the size of a shop! ”
"A giant python? Hahaha......" Hearing his description, Tapir, who was standing in place, couldn't help laughing, "It's really stupid...... It's fitting to describe you like a mouse. ”
"What did you say!? You-"
"Alright, Shada." With a wave of his hand, he stopped his colleague who was about to step forward, and Seth looked at the enemy in front of him with a grim face, "A little bit of information is enough. ”
"This guy...... Leave it to me to handle. ”
"Uh-huh...... I'm so confident! Tapir Liang sneered, he opened his hands slightly, that arrogant gesture...... It was as if he were the king, the master of the palace.
"Hopefully, after seeing Dilbondo, you'll be able to watch me say it again!"
"Come out! My elfmon! ”
With his call, a hazy phantom instantly appeared around his body, and quickly turned into a physical ...... Its size was beyond the imagination of the priests, and it was only one-third of the way to the top of such a high zenith!
From a neutral point of view, this is actually a very contradictory monster.
Its upper body resembles a human, with sound arms and a head, and its facial features are clear and clear, majestic and majestic, with a pair of huge wings on its back, it is simply the embodiment of a god...... But this qiē is terminated below its waist, just like the lower half of the mermaid's body is a fish, its lower body has no legs, and the waist muscles with a pair of slightly smaller wings contract and soften, and gradually turn into half an abominable python spitting poisonous letters!
"Impossible...... It's just a thief, and the monster in his body will be an elf? And...... Looks so powerful? ”
What Xia Da had spied on just now was only a small part of its body.
Faced with the spectacle in front of them, even the priests were shocked, they couldn't imagine why an obvious sinner would have an elf - elves and monsters are two different names for monsters in people's hearts, people who abide by justice in their hearts may have elves, but people with evil hearts will only awaken monsters, tapir Liang has walked all the way, and his hands are stained with the blood of at least dozens of guards, this kind of person actually has elven beasts...... It's really subverting their previous perceptions.
"What do you mean by evil?" Tapir Liang glared at the priests in front of him fiercely, a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes, "If you bastards look at the code of conduct, it is the embodiment of justice!" ”
"Don't be ashamed!" Raising the thousand-year-old tin staff, Seth urged his strength to lock on to the elven beast in front of him, "Just let me sue you......"
"Whether it's a monster or an elf, it will be like a baby in front of the artifact, and it will be powerless to fight back!"
After that, he waved the scepter in his hand, and began to fight with Tapir Liang for the control of the elven beast, and the soul strength of the two was almost the same, but with the blessing of the artifact, Seth finally overwhelmed the other party, and successfully transformed Dilbondor from an entity to an illusion again.
Damn it...... If it weren't for that...... Tapir Liang glared at the golden scepter in the other party's hand hatefully, secretly hating this powerful man, but in the blink of an eye, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, as if it was not a big deal that his spirit beast was taken away.
"The Law of Rights! Seal! Looking at Tapir Liang proudly, Seth waved his hand, pulled up a blank stone slab from the ground with his spiritual power, and then waved the scepter in his hand, and threw the phantom of the accused spirit beast onto the stone slab.
The image that has been witnessed many times in the game before reappears - Dilbondo's figure appears in relief on the front of the slate, and it looks like it has been completely imprisoned.
The clamor is so loud, and the result is not that it is inevitable to be sanctioned.
After the seal was successful, Seth stopped paying attention to the slate, and his eyes became colder and colder as if he was thinking about how to punish the thief later.
Well? Wrong.
Why is this thief still laughing?
"Don't relax, Seth!"
"Watch out for your back!"
Click...... The sound of the rock shattering came from behind Setter's ears, sensing the danger, and he only had time to lift the cloak behind him, intending to rely on it to block out the expected sand and gravel dust.
He was right, the stone slab that sealed Dilbondor had already cracked countless deep cracks at some point, they continued to spread, spread, and finally exploded, the hall was full of dust and powder, several priests raised their hands to cover their mouths and noses, and after a few seconds, the smoke and dust dissipated, and the huge body of the elven beast actually appeared in front of them again.
"What a monster." Seeing this, the game sitting on the stone chair couldn't help but admire, indeed, it was the first time he had seen a monster break free from the confines of the stone slab with pure brute strength.
"The King of Thieves...... This tapir from 3,000 years ago seems to be much more powerful than his current life. ”
"Hahahaha! See, this fragile seal is of no use to Dilbondo! Tapir laughed arrogantly again, "...... Kill them all! ”
"Very good...... Thief, you've me off completely! Seth's face darkened, and he raised the golden scepter again, ignoring the hideous snake head swept by the elven beast, and began to chant an unknown incantation in rapid motion.
"Priest Seth is starting to get serious." Simon stood beside the game, and there was some pity in his voice, which was addressed to Tapir, "He will let Tapir know how a priest can have such a revered position." ”
Next to the main hall of the palace is a square tower, which is completely hollow, and the four walls of the interior are neatly placed with rows of stone slabs...... These are not blank stone slabs, each stone slab has a peaceful or vicious monster relief, with the call of the spell in the distance, the monster relief on a stone slab suddenly lit up, turned into a strong light and instantly broke away, flying towards the main hall.
Just when the snake's head had already opened its stinky mouth and would swallow Seth's entire person in one gulp in the next second, this light struck between them, and quickly manifested into a huge dragon beast with dark red scale armor!
"Roar!" The drake beast swung its thick upper limbs, slapped the snake's head on the ground with one claw, made a loud noise, and then pulled the snake's body along the tail-like structure, dragging the body of Dilbondo, which was almost the same size as it!
"Bite it! Red-horned Stegosaurus! Seth clasped his hands together and began to manipulate the summoned monsters to suppress the elven beasts, and the two huge monsters fought each other in the palace, each step, every blow could cause a vibration like an earthquake, and from time to time there was rubble and dust falling on the zenith—if this was not the palace, I am afraid it would have collapsed long ago.
"What an amazing strength, no less than Dilbondo!" Looking blankly at this ghostly battle, the game couldn't help but get up from the stone chair, he took two steps forward, as if he wanted to get closer to the battlefield, but was stopped by Simon.
"Don't be impulsive...... Pharaoh, I understand the anger in your heart, but leave these matters to Seth, he is very strong, please trust your men. Simon reassured him nervously, fearing that he would be burned out of his mind by anger.
"Angry?" The game felt like he didn't understand him, "Why...... I'm going to be angry? ”
Could it be that tapir Liang did something related to me?
"Huh?" Simon's eyes widened, he couldn't believe what he had just heard, "Didn't you hear what Tapir just said, he broke into Aknamkano's tomb!" ”
Seeing that there was still confusion on the game's face, he simply pointed to the mummy at the feet of the red-robed man in the distance.
“…… That's the body of the first king, King Aknamkano! ”
"The former pharaoh who created seven thousand-year-old treasures is also your father!"
Rumble!
As if a thunderbolt was exploding in my heart, the pupils of the game contracted violently...... The first time the love was out of control to this kind of Cheng dù.
The voices around him gradually faded away, and his ears kept recalling Simon's words, and only the dried corpse curled up on the floor remained in his eyes.
Ake ...... King Namkano?
That corpse is mine...... Father?
"Pharaoh? Are you alright? Simon looked at the motionless game worriedly, not knowing what was wrong with him, who was usually normal, and the battle in the field did not develop as he expected, the cunning tapir Liang discovered that these summoned monsters had to rely on the new stone slab on the scene to save zài, and seized a rare opportunity for the elf beast to sneak into the stone slab of the red horned sharp dragon, crushing the root of this powerful monster's existence.
"You have the special ability to pass through walls!?" Seth stared at the elven beast in front of him in horror, its power seemed to have no limits, and it could actually refresh his expectations again and again.
"My Dilbondo is invincible!" Tapir yelled, "I want you to taste my fear—"
"Fuck off."
A slightly thin arm suddenly reached out from his side and pushed the arrogant man several paces away.
"Pharaoh? How are you-" After staggering a few steps to regain his footing, Tapir Liang looked back and found that the game that was originally sitting on the high platform actually came to him at some point!?
"Danger! King! Come back! ”
Ignoring the frightened cries of the priests, the game simply crouched down and reached out to pick up the mummy on the ground.
Then, as if no one was around, he swept past the tapir and walked towards the high platform.
"Do you want to leave without saying hello!" Faced with such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Tapir's eyes flashed with excitement, if the Pharaoh did not take the initiative to come out of the protection of the priests, it would take him a lot of effort to kill him...... Now that the other party has taken the initiative to send it to the door by himself, how can he have a reason to stop!
With his control, Dilbondor immediately turned his head and firmly locked on the game, and the purple-black energy in the giant mouth of the tail snake head quickly converged, and he didn't have to think about it to know what the consequences would be if he was hit.
"Guardian Pharaoh!" Mahatt was the most responsive priest, and with Seth's experience, he directly abandoned the idea of summoning monsters from the temple of stone slabs, and directly urged the elf that lived in his heart, the black magician.
If the game still has the heart to pay attention to the battlefield, he will definitely find that the appearance of this elven beast is very similar to that of the black wizard, except for the fact that it is a little shorter and the face is not clear, the black magic armor is exactly the same as the wand...... But at this moment, all his mind was on the corpse in his arms, and the assistance of his subordinates was as if he hadn't seen it, and the energy and rubble that exploded around him didn't make him blink an eye, and he still walked back step by step, firmly.
Coming to the stone chair and placing the mummy in it, he slowly turned his head to look at the chaotic battlefield.
The power of Dilbondor is really amazing, the monsters summoned by the six priests and the spirit beasts combined can't subdue it, and even the souls of three priests have been injured.
"See, the invincible elven beast I want!" At this point in the battle, Tapir Liang excitedly ripped off his turban, revealing his trademark white hair.
"Huh? Did you already retract when I wasn't looking? Through the gap between the monsters, he happened to see the game's sharp gaze from afar, "How does it feel to meet Dad again?" Isn't it impressive? ”
"You have to thank me for bringing it out of the coffin! Ahaha!! ”
"It's time to curb your arrogance, tapir." In the face of this humiliating provocation, the game's expression did not change in the slightest.
Only Simon, who was closest to him, could see what a storm was brewing in the depths of his dark red eyes.
"I'll get you on your knees right away."
