Chapter 143: The Ring of Dead Words
"Why are you getting in my way? I just want to build my kingdom! β
After Al flew into the air, he suddenly flew into the air, glaring fiercely at Su Xian and Professor Buck.
His tiny face gradually distorted, turning into a demonic face, and the foul black slime ran down the corners of his eyes, streaked across his cheeks, and dripped onto the grass, causing the little grass to dry up in an instant.
Su Xian held the card book, looked up and said, "That's why you locked people in the wall?" β
Al roared, "I'm just recruiting nationals!" β
Recruiting nationals?
Su Xian tried to ask, "How did you recruit?" β
Al replied, "My walls are all over the world, and refugees from afar come to the foot of my walls, and I open the gates of the city, and I choose from among them the industrious and good men, and recruit them as my people." β
This is clearly an exaggerated statement.
But it can still be seen that the so-called wall cannibalism is only a faΓ§ade.
Specifically, some kind of mechanism is placed at the foot of some walls, and when people enter it, they can be summoned to a realm called "kingdom".
Those who are summoned are physically confined within the walls of the Paradise, and their minds are drawn out of the realm, and they become visitors to the Paradise, that is, the citizens of Arr.
Su Xian realized a little, and then asked: "But I remember you said that they are just your toys?" β
Al roared in a low voice: "Grandpa told me that the king is the ruler, and all the citizens are the king's toys, and if you want to get more toys, you must become the king!" I'm going to be king, I'm going to build my kingdom!" β
Al's roar echoed in the air, and although it was childish words, it truly reflected the values of a child.
And the person who shaped this value was, of course, Carl Assas, an obese old man who doted on his grandson too much.
β¦β¦
Su Xian and Professor Buck glanced at each other.
The truth was unexpected.
It's not that unacceptable though.
But no one thought it would be like this until they knew it.
Professor Buck whispered, "What are you going to do?" β
Su Xian squinted at the aura above Al and said, "Take off the thing on top of his head first!" β
Al heard their conversation, but was furious on the spot: "You have destroyed my kingdom and will take away my crown!" I'm going to cut off your heads! Burn you at the stake and burn you to death! β
Before he could finish speaking, the aura above his head dripped a large amount of slurry, blackening his hair, his face, and his body.
His whole body was covered in black slurry, and his whole body became pitch black.
A large number of bubbles emerge from under its skin, like boiling water.
His body swelled and deformed as a result, and rotting wings grew on his back, gradually transforming into a huge and ugly monster.
The moment the change was completed, Al raised his head and roared, and then swooped down, and two long muddy arms suddenly burst out, striking at Su Xian and Professor Buck respectively.
β¦β¦
But it took him too long to change the monster, and Su Xian and Professor Buck already had a way to deal with it.
Professor Buck pressed his hand, and a spun spun rippled out of his palm, and with a wave of his hand, the spun stabbed Al's body first.
Al only flicked in the air before wiping out the thorn.
But just as he was about to continue his attack, a flash of red light suddenly flashed through his vision, causing him to look up and see that the aura above his head had been wrapped in a long whip!
The tip of the long whip was a blood-red rose, and the body of the whip was a spiky steel flower branch.
"Beauty is always ephemeral and fleeting, only steel is eternal."
This "Iron Rose That Never Withers" has a three-star ability evaluation, and can stretch and change under the drive of ideas.
Su Xian grabbed the root of the rose whip, and with just a slight force, without even using any skills, the tip of the rose of the whip flew out, entangled the aura like a living thing.
As hard as he exerted, he pulled the aura off Al's head!
"My crown!"
Seeing the aura being snatched away, Alton let out a mournful roar.
He switched targets almost immediately, and both arms grabbed Su Xian.
Su Xian took the halo off the whip, and then raised his head and flicked it, and the steel long whip was pumped back, slamming Al's body!
"Whew!"
Al let out a howl of pain, but he grabbed the long whip in the face of pain, and continued to pounce, and the free hand grabbed Su Xian's head violently, as if he wanted to crush it directly.
Su Xian did not retreat, but advanced, and danced the long whip in the air, and before he could pull it back, he twisted Al's arm.
He tugged harder, and the whip suddenly contracted and tightened, and the spikes on its body instantly pierced into Al's arm, causing a roar of pain.
Without the blessing of the realm, even if Al is incarnated as a monster, he is far from being Su Xian's opponent.
The battle between the two was like a joke between adults and children, even though they were in opposite shapes at the moment.
β¦β¦
At this moment, Su Xian shifted his attention to the turbid aura in his hand.
The sound of darkness came to my ears.
"He always came from the other side, with a chaotic aura on his head, filthy wings on his back, and a wet black mud flowing from his body. He always listened to the prayers of the deceased, fulfilled the wishes of the deceased, and let them pass away...... He is the messenger of the other shore, the dweller of the abyss, the great Lord of the Dead. β
It is a ballad-like description of a transcendent being known as the "Lord of the Dead."
The Lord of the Dead comes from the other side, hears the prayers of the dead, and fulfills the wishes of the dead......
Su Xian raised his head to look at Al, who was strangled by the steel whip, and a doubt in his heart also brightened.
Al, not a normal human being.
He is dead, on the verge of life and death.
According to the time when the "mysterious disappearance" began, he should have died before June.
The cause of death is unknown, but the news should not have been heard.
Or it has been tampered with before it can be sent out.
His grandfather, Carl Assas, and others did not realize that he was dead.
Otherwise, Carl Assas would not have attended the meetings of the abandoned church and the reliquacy dinner.
β¦β¦
And since Al is already a normal human being, he has no scruples about acting.
"Dust to dust, dust to dust."
Su Xian let out a low groan, and then burst out of power, and the long whip was transmitted, smashing the black monster to the ground heavily!
"Boom!"
Al fell to the ground, groaning in pain.
Professor Buck found an opportunity, and with a sharp contraction of his fingers, the black matter around him gathered like an ant colony, and quickly climbed up Al's body.
"Boom."
The word came out of Professor Barker's mouth clearly.
Al's body was detonated on the spot.
The mud-stenching black slurry splattered out in the explosion, eroding the surrounding trees and grass.
When the explosion was gone, all that remained of the crater was a puddle of smudge.
Al's soul floated out of the stain.
He shed his filthy shell and regained his innocence.
The edge of that soul shimmered and made flesh. The eye can tell.
β¦β¦
Su Xian lowered his head slightly, and saw that the "Ring of Dead Words" in his hand was shattering layer by layer.
He knew that Al was really going to leave this time.
Floating in the air, Al did not have the anger, madness and hideousness he had before, but there was still sadness and reluctance between his eyebrows.
He opened his mouth as if to say something, but no sound came out.
His soul began to dim.
β¦β¦
Su Xian and Professor Buck just watched quietly.
β¦β¦
The gray fog grew thinner, and the first rays of morning light of the new life pierced through the thin fog and shone on Al's body.
Al's soul faded in the morning light.
But just as he was about to disappear completely, he suddenly turned his head in the direction of the castle.
The sound of footsteps came from that direction.
Carl Assas, his butler, and another lady, Ellie, were hurrying with their lamps.
With the collapse of the spiritual network, the people in Paradise have awakened.
The successive explosions attracted attention, and not only them, but even the guards were already on their way.
Al saw his grandfather and struggled a little in the morning light.
"Al?"
Carl Assas cautiously approached, and suddenly found a soul floating in the air, and couldn't help but rub his eyes.
Al squirmed his lips again.
Still no sound came out.
But it was as if everyone heard his voice.
"Grandpa!"
β¦β¦
Al is gone.
The "ring of lies" turns into powder and flows from between the fingers.
β¦β¦
Carl Assas staggered over and paused suddenly.
Then he looked around blankly.
The vegetation was corroded, the ground was pitted, and the walls collapsed.
"What's going on?"
He was about to make a fuss when he suddenly noticed Su Xian and Professor Buck standing aside.
The face that was about to speak suddenly stiffened, and he just squeezed out a flattering smile.
"Welcome, why are you here?"
Professor Buck walked over, "Hello, Mr. Karl Assas, long time no see. β
Carl Assas hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Long time no see, Professor Christopher Barker." β
But when he shook hands, his eyes couldn't help but stay on Su Xian's body.
Professor Buck pulled his attention back: "Mr. Assas, your grandson Al......"
He wanted to get straight to the point.
But Carl Assas wondered: "Grandson? I don't have any grandchildren. β
β¦β¦
The morning light is on.
Neither Su Xian nor Professor Buck accepted Carl's invitation.
The two retrieved the carriage from the carriage shop and slowly embarked on the journey back.
β¦β¦
Everything is gained at a price.
If you gain something, you will always lose something.
The "Ring of the Dead" gave Al the ability to experiment with his wishes, but it also deprived him of everything.
β¦β¦
It's just that in this way, the source of the matter has also been cut off.
How did Al die.
How did the "Ring of the Dead" get into his hands?
β¦β¦
Su Xian returned to the rare treasure antiquities shop and recorded everything that happened today, using it as a reference.
Professor Buck returned to his villa, and Su Xian didn't ask him for the purple crystal, or even ask.
He stepped into the basement of the villa and placed the purple crystals on a shelf surrounded by intricate circles of magic circles, and when he stepped into it, he could faintly hear the howl of the beast.
β¦β¦
A dimly lit interior.
The clown was lying on a chair, and in front of him was still the round table, and in the center of the round table was still the magic lamp.
This is the only light source in the entire room, illuminating the hidden figures in the darkness.
Of the thirteen seats around the round table, only four people now sit.
They are the Joker himself, the skeleton, the knight, and the police officer.
Neither boars nor vampires are here.
The clown looked sluggish, spread out on the chair, and looked extremely weak.
The "skeleton" in the black robe and the skull mask is almost the same.
The knight in heavy armor sat upright, his gaze swept over the clown and skeleton, and he couldn't help but say in a deep voice: "Joker, are you injured?" β
The clown smiled like a cryer: "Don't ask, just look." β
The knight turned his head and looked at the skeleton, "Skeleton, you too?" β
The skeleton shrunk in its dark robes, and two ghostly fires flickered in its eyes: "I met him again, and he is stronger." β
The knight asked, "Even you are not an opponent now?" β
The skeleton said in a low voice, "I thought I could." β
The knight pondered for a moment and said, "You have been in contact with him twice, how much do you know about him?" β
Skeleton: "Nothing. β
The clown spoke up, "I said knight, you don't want to see anyone trying to pull him into the gang." β
The knight said, "No one is an eternal friend, and no one is an eternal enemy. β
After a while, the skeleton said firmly: "No, the only person who killed me is death!" When I have gathered enough strength......"
The clown glanced at him and couldn't help but sneer: "This is an era when everyone is competing to be the first, no one will stop and wait for you, not to mention that you climb so slowly." β
The skeleton ignored it, bowing its head and saying nothing.
Perhaps the reason for the serious injuries of two people was that the atmosphere of this meeting was extremely depressing.
After a while, the short police officer, who had never spoken, suddenly said, "I have found a new person, and he has a lot of potential." β
The atmosphere of the meeting finally eased up.
The clown asked with interest, "Who is it?" Did you bring it with you? β
The officer nodded, "Brought here, he needs to be baptized." β
The clown couldn't help blinking: "Baptism? You mean, he's just an ordinary person now? β
The police officer said: "You were also an ordinary person. β
"Hey."
The clown burst into laughter.
The knight took over: "No problem, but he needs to be tested, and if he passes the test and survives the baptism, then he is our new companion, an apostle, preferably an apostle who can act at sea!" β
The officer said, "He has a good affinity with the ocean. β
Knight: "Rare good news. β
Officer: "He has another request, but it's not hard to accept. β
Knight: "Say." β
Officer: "He has a common enemy with the skeleton, and he wants us to help him kill him!" β
The skeleton suddenly moved.
The knight thought for a moment and said, "This is not a problem, since it is an obstacle on the common road, it naturally needs to be removed. The premise is that he can be our companion. β
