Volume 3: The Shadows Chapter 83 Inheritance Ritual
Zachary looked up at the sky and saw a figure turn into a streamer and flee into the distance, the other two tried to block it, but they were unsuccessful, and then Duke Pokinaor and another star-level powerhouse did not continue to pursue, but stayed in mid-air, as if on alert.
"Sure enough, it's not so easy to kill Earl Hyperpoton. ”
Zachary sighed politely: "But it doesn't matter, when I finish the inheritance, how many days can he jump?"
He looked at the door of the Temple of Inheritance that had been opened, and then instructed Candit, "Go according to the original plan. ”
"Yes. ”
Zachary strode into the main hall.
"Smack, smack"
In the empty and silent hall, his footsteps were incomparably clear.
Soon he saw a large black pillar.
Built by the legendary King Hervin Gafiri, the founding emperor of the Sirius Empire, the Pillar of Inheritance.
The towering pillar of inheritance was inscribed with intricate golden lines, and as soon as it approached, a terrifying oppressive force rushed towards it.
In front of the Pillar of Inheritance, a huge black vortex swirled silently and slowly, as if a black thick liquid was flowing and stirring, as if there was a world inside, desolate and vast, absorbing endless magical energy.
Zachary just glanced at it, and it felt as if his soul was about to be sucked in.
"Where's Sean?"
Next to the black whirlpool, a man in an ornate robe, who had originally turned his back to Zachary, turned around, his voice weak and old.
The Iron Emperor, Upton Gafferi.
"Dead. ”
Zachary said lightly.
"yes, you killed him. Upton Garfiri's already old face darkened, and an irrepressible aura of decay emanated from his body.
He laughed to himself.
"I underestimated you, you prepared much earlier than I thought, it seems that you have already seen it?"
"Father, why do you think so much? After you die, everything has nothing to do with you, why let yourself suffer before you die?"
Zachary's voice suddenly became soft, the corners of his mouth hooked into a smile, and his eyes were sincere: "In another world, you will get eternal sleep." ”
Upton Garfiri's body trembled slightly, his cloudy eyes looked at Zachary, and his voice was hoarse: "You will lose everything." ”
Zachary's eyes slowly turned a little cold.
He sighed and put his hand on the saber at his waist.
"Poof. ”
A chill flashed.
The sword pierced the chest of the former iron-blooded emperor.
The Iron Emperor Upton Gafferi's eyes slowly closed, silent.
"You won't bother with that, father. ”
Zachary said indifferently, without looking at the other party again, and walked straight into the black whirlpool, his expression full of madness and excitement.
I have been dreaming of it for many years, and I have finally taken the first step.
The viscous black liquid seemed to weigh as much as a thousand pounds, and Zachary screamed in pain, and his muscles flare.
In the main hall, there seemed to be a solemn chant echoing, in the high-pitched hymn, the black swirl of light shined, and the golden flame rose from above, setting off an echo like a sea tide, as if the kingdom of God had descended and engulfed Zackery's body.
Disappear.
·········
Arthur City.
The whole city has been plunged into an atmosphere of panic.
Countless people talked about it, telling each other all kinds of gossip they had heard.
But no matter what the rumors are, they are based on the shocking fact that the current ruler of the Sirius Empire, the Iron Emperor Upton Gafiri, and the eldest prince Sean, who is about to inherit the throne, are dead.
No one doubted the veracity of this news, as it was announced by a number of important ministers and nobles of the empire.
The squads of soldiers patrolling the streets, grim-looking soldiers, and the tightly sealed gates all confirmed the truth of the story.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"
A group of soldiers on horseback sped through the street, and Kerry's eyes moved, and like the others, he dodged to the side.
Kerrs looked up at the galloping soldiers, all dressed in black armor with dark gold patterns.
"Obsidian Knights ········"
His expression became extremely solemn.
"Now things are getting a little troublesome, even the entire Arthur City is tightly sealed, even if you want to leave, you can't do it.
Sure enough, it was too reckless to contact the eldest prince, but who would have thought that the second prince would act so quickly and kill the eldest prince directly?"
But what Kx is most worried about is not this, it is just a matter of doing his best to let the eldest prince ascend to the throne as much as possible, even if he has a palace and has many means, he is just a fourth-level magician.
Now that the eldest prince has been killed, the transaction between the two has ended without any suspense, and the truth that Fox wants to know is naturally not provided, which makes Fox a little regretful.
"This line is broken like this, what other way can we understand that secret?
Nexus shook his head, throwing the unrealistic idea out of his head.
The second prince and the eldest prince are not the same, and the other party is afraid that he will be able to ascend the throne soon, and if he contacts the other party again, he is really killing himself.
But now Jeanx is most worried about his own safety.
Did he find out about the Great Prince? If he did, it would be terrible.
Offending the emperor in the capital of an empire, it is exciting to think about it.
Feeling the restless and panicked atmosphere spreading throughout the city, Fox pressed his hat down slightly, and quickly left.
I can't stay in the rented place before, so it's always wrong to be cautious.
·········
Nexus returned to his rented villa.
Bertha asked worriedly, "Young Master, what should we do next?"
"Let's get out of here and live somewhere else. ”
Kex muttered, "Try to find a place close to the edge of Arthur City. ”
"Okay. Bertha nodded approvingly.
The periphery of Arthur City is a civilian area that is densely populated and easy to hide, and there is a chance to try to escape Arthur.
Things have developed to this point, the eldest prince has been killed, and he actually has no reason to stay here.
"Speaking of which, I haven't received my mission reward yet, will the Assassin Alliance in Arthur City still hold a rally in this case?"
Suddenly thinking of this stubble, he suddenly felt a little headache.
That's 100,000 thalers and a fifth-level magical device.
_
There was nothing to pack, and after a while, Kerr and Bertha were in the carriage and ready to leave.
The two larks, controlled by X, hovered above the carriage, taking in everything around them.
"Huh?"
The eyes of the two larks were cast in the direction of the palace at the same time.
There seems to be some movement.
Where, the concentration of magic energy particles is constantly rising, at an unimaginable rate.
By the end, even the space above the palace was distorted.
"It's ········"
Nexus froze.
"Boom!"
Huge pillars of black light shot straight into the sky from the inside of the palace, connecting the earth with the sky, and the sky above Arthur City darkened, and even the sun's rays were suppressed.
In the distortion, a huge black vortex formed, and an infinite sense of oppression emanated from it, and the whole world seemed to be frozen for a moment under that majesty
The wings of the two larks controlled by Kerr fluttered, and they almost fell from the sky.
The next moment, the pillar of light dissipated, the vortex dissipated, and everything returned to calm.
"It seems that the second prince has completed the inheritance ceremony. ”
Nexus sighed.
"I'm afraid that decades of peace are going to be broken. ”
