Chapter 34: The Night King
In the front hall, Sayeto at the front had already reached the inner corridor, and soon entered the nave, she looked at the high platform in the deepest part of the nave, where the Black Throne was located.
Su Xiao and the others also entered the middle hall, although he could not become the new king, but with his status in the empire, he was certainly qualified to witness the arrival of the new king.
Sayeto continued to move forward step by step, but she didn't know if it was an illusion, she felt the crown on her head getting colder and colder, and even made the skin on her forehead tingle faintly.
Fifteen meters, ten meters, eight meters.
When Shayeto was only eight meters away from the Black Throne, she stopped and looked down at her hand, which ...... Actually trembling unconsciously.
You can't sit on it, or it's all over. ’
This thought lingered in Shayeto's mind as soon as it appeared, and at this time she looked at Su Xiao again, and Su Xiao's hand stretched forward and made a gesture of please.
"Old ideas need to be broken, and so do rituals."
Sayeto turned her back to the Black Throne, and the five officials in front of her were all stunned, some unable to understand why Sayeto said this.
"Rituals can't be abolished!"
The old god said in a deep voice, and his eyes seemed to be filled with black mist.
"No, the ritual doesn't matter, I'm ...... It's already the Black King! ”
Sayeto's tone was firm, she was certainly not stupid, sensing that there was something wrong with the throne.
"Someone ...... coming"
Shayeto shouted, and then, without any soldiers, rushed into the temple.
In the front hall, Zos sat on more than a dozen corpses, and hundreds of black and blue crows circled in the front hall.
"It's really beautiful, tsk, Sina is a good woman, do you want to marry her, if the adults knew what I did last night, they wouldn't kill me, it seems that they already know, it's too bad~"
Rumble!
The sound of the crash spread over the palace, and the outside of the palace had turned into purgatory, and the walls on one side of the palace were smashed open by the giant war beasts, and a full ten thousand beast cavalry rushed into the palace, and crossbow arrows flew out from behind the walls like rain, and the city guards almost collapsed at the touch of a touch after engaging these border soldiers.
"My lord, it's not good, the border guards mutinied."
A soldier in gold armor with a bloody face rushed out of the temple.
"Well, got it, let's go down."
Captain of the Guardian Troop spoke, and if you looked closely, there seemed to be a flame burning in his pupils, and it was demonic flames.
Inside the nave.
Tick, tick......
Blood dripped down the long knife, and there were dozens of Wang Weijun lying near Su Xiao, and on the other side of the main hall, the old god stick was also standing among a large number of corpses.
"You ...... Ready to seize power? ”
Shayeto was holding a broken long sword, before that, she always thought that she could solve Su Xiao in one face, but after the actual fight, she found that this was a wrong judgment.
"Your Excellency, you should sit down, in that case, Wayne, Ander, Alfre, and Hoy don't have to die, you killed them, it's you."
The obese Evan spoke, he was the number four under Sayeto, and he was in charge of receiving guests in front of the manor last night.
And now, Evan was covered with pitch-black tentacles, and the demonic flames in his eyes were burning.
Shayeto couldn't figure out why Evan betrayed her, this is a subordinate who has been loyal to her for more than ten years, although greedy and lustful, but loyal to her, once she was assassinated, Evan even helped her block an arrow.
"Your Excellency, the Black Throne belongs to you."
After Evan said this, his body cracked rapidly, and exploded into large black fragments with a crack.
"You ......"
Shayeto looked around at the people in the room, she really didn't expect that these people would dare to make a move in the palace, this is a situation that will never end, even if she dies here today, these people will have to bear the charge of killing the king, the power system of the empire will be divided at an extremely fast rate, and everyone will have no good fruit to eat.
"The ceremony is so slow, it's a waste of the morning, Sayato, you're the Black King, but you'll have to wait until you're on the Black Throne."
The long knife in Su Xiao's hand pointed at the Black Throne.
"You know...... What happens when you sit there, so you give up, you're scared! ”
Shayeto threw down the broken sword in her hand, who would have thought that last night would be the most beautiful moment in her life, not when she was on the throne today.
"Your Royal Highness, don't talk nonsense, go up."
Wofer approached Sayeto and made a gesture of please.
"You will not die well."
Shayeto kicked Wolfer away, and Wolfer staggered back a few steps as he was kicked off.
Just as Shayeto was about to fight hard, she noticed two pairs of eyes staring at her.
Rumble!
Blood and black smoke filled the nave, one left and one right, Sayeto, who was in the middle, felt terrible on his shoulders, the blood on the left was sharp and violent, and the black smoke on the right was weird and viscous.
"You don't want to die well!"
Sayeto yelled again, and she tore open the button on her neckline, which made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to rip it off for a long time.
At the moment, Sayeto had two choices, one was to sit on the Black Throne, and the other was to die here, she hesitated for a moment and continued to walk towards the Black Throne.
One step is longer and heavier, and I don't know if it's an illusion, Sayeto feels like she ages by a year with every step she takes closer to the Black Throne.
Finally, Sayeto came to the throne, her hand pressed against the armrest, feeling the touch of metal.
The throne is something she has always pursued, but now, she is extremely resistant to the throne, she Sayeto still has her own ideals and ambitions, and she cannot be assimilated by this throne.
For some reason, after seeing the Black Throne, Sayeto recalled his childhood memories, when the Black King sat on the throne and looked at her from afar, with doting, reluctance, and even some guilt.
"Saya, you are too young to understand what I am saying, but I feel guilty that you have become my descendants, one of you, one day will sit here, face the same fate as me, this is the price, the price of awakening those things, I should ...... It doesn't matter if the gods are wrong or if I'm wrong to let them sink forever in the sea, civilization should be discovered step by step, just like this empire already has electricity, but it can only be used for lighting, it could have powered huge machinery, made people see farther, and even made steel fly into the air and over the clouds. ”
Even now, Sayakto couldn't fully understand the Black King's words, but she understood the first half, especially the phrase, 'I feel guilty that you have become my descendants.'" ’
"I am the king, and you are worthy to kneel at my feet."
Shayeto sat on his throne with his arms raised and his body leaning back.
There was a dead silence in the nave, and all eyes were on Sayeto, who was still sitting on the Black Throne with her arms held high, her face furrowed, as if she was ready to face her fate.
"Huh~"
Sayeto's eyes were puzzled, she didn't have any unusual feelings other than the feeling that the Black Throne was a little hard.
"Ha, hahahaha......"
Shayeto smiled and leaned back, pointing at Su Xiao and the others with one hand.
"You guys, you're so ridiculous, hahaha, that's it? You've worked so hard that that's it? ”
Shayeto was already laughing a little crazy, but soon she realized that something was wrong, Su Xiao and the old god stick were slowly retreating, and Wu Fu and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were more like ghosts.
Su Xiao didn't look at Sayeto, but stared at the other party's head, a black mist shrouded there, if he was not mistaken, this was Polar Sun Erdels, that extremely terrifying existence.
The smile on Sayeto's face stiffened, and she raised her right arm, which was filled with black smoke.
"I ......"
Before Sayeto could finish speaking, her pupils turned pure black, and her silver hair quickly turned black.
Black nails appeared on Sayeto's body, wrapping around her body and cheeks, and she sat quietly on the throne.
"Roar!!"
Countless roars rang out from within the Black Throne.
'You ...... Humble mortals! ’
'The appointed date is near. ’
Here, it belongs to us, it is the promise, all living beings belong to us, all belong to the Dead City. ’
'Wang ...... Still, on the date of the appointment, three hundred years later. ’
'Pure black! Polar Day! Nightfall......'
'Lord of the Night, the appointed day, three hundred years from now, when all living beings will belong to us, to the City of Dead Silence. ’
'The Black King. ’
'Lord of the Day. ’
'Lord of the Night. ’
'The Black Lord Adgash belongs to us. ’
'The Lord of the Day, Olders, belongs to us. ’
'Lord of the Night...... She doesn't belong to us yet, her name is ...... Adgash Sayato. ’
'Soon, three hundred years, soon......
……
The babbling sound gradually disappeared, Su Xiao rubbed his faintly painful forehead, when he heard these sounds, he felt that the blood in his whole body was going to be frozen, and his brain tingled for a while, but after the babbling disappeared, this feeling also quickly subsided.
Su Xiao's eyes looked around, the old god stick was lying on the ground, his body twitching unconsciously, and strangely, Wu Fu and the Chancellor of the Exchequer did not react.
"Bubu, did you hear anything just now?"
"Wang?"
Bu Buwang shook his head, indicating that it hadn't heard anything, which made Su Xiao can't help but look at the [Black King's Fall Sacrifice] on his left arm.
Obviously, the king of this continent is not only the King of Black, the eldest son of the King of Black, Polar Sun Erders, is also crowned king, the King of Day.
As for Sayeto, she is not the Black King, but the third king, the Night King.
Su Xiao came to the Black Throne and snapped his fingers twice next to Shayeto's ear.
"Shayeto?"
As if hearing Su Xiao's voice, Sayeto slowly raised his head.
"On the appointed day, three hundred years later, at that time, find the next one, the king, must be, the bloodline of the first black king, they are in the ...... And I whispered, they were in the ...... Tell me how to be strong. ”
Like a doll who has lost all emotion, Sayeto just sits on the throne and mutters to himself.
Through the information obtained, Su Xiao probably knew what was going on, the Black King should have agreed with Dead City before his death, and he had obtained three hundred years of peace.
If Su Xiao guessed correctly, the Black King should have been in this state at first, and it wasn't until his eldest son, Erdels, became the Lord of the Day, replacing the Black King himself, that the Black King recovered.
When the time limit of three hundred years is approaching, the Black King entered the City of Dead Silence, and then disappeared, as for why he didn't choose an heir, it is unknown, or rather, he handed over this important task to the old god stick, and the old god stick did cultivate a new king, that is, the father of the little duke, but who knows, the duke's sudden death also caused the old god stick to be driven out of the power system.
Just when the old god stick was about to find an opportunity to cultivate a second new king, Su Xiao, wearing the [Black King's Death Sacrifice], appeared.
"My lord, this ...... Can you govern the country? ”
The Chancellor of the Exchequer also found out that Sayerto's was wrong, at this time his back was full of cold sweat, and he was glad in his heart, fortunately he chose to support Su Xiao last night, the reason why he chose this is actually very simple, Su Xiao killed Duke Yinyu and Bloomer in only two days, he didn't believe that such a person would give up the throne, and he didn't believe it even if he was killed.
"She really can't, so the Night Lord needs the Left and the Right."
Su Xiao glanced at Wu Fu, and then at the Chancellor of the Exchequer.
"Me?"
Wu Fu pointed at himself and looked at Su Xiao in astonishment.
"That's right, you're the right king, and Walkley is the left king."
Wolfer and Chancellor of the Exchequer Walkley stood still, staring at each other.
"Zuo Yu."
Wolfer's hand slapped the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the shoulder, a smirk on his face.
"Right Royal."
The Chancellor of the Exchequer looked Wu Fu up and down, and he felt that the other party did not look like the right king, and he did not want the left king.
"Ha, haha."
Wolfer smiled stiffly, a little silly no matter how he looked at it.
Happiness came so suddenly, so suddenly that even the Chancellor of the Exchequer was stunned for half a minute.
