Chapter Eighty-One: Abandoning the Light and Turning to the Dark
Passing through the giant alchemy area of the White Bone Hall, following the witch up the nine steps, the eerie and terrifying palace, the cold breath still made Zhao Hongyi feel like falling into an ice cellar.
Zhao Hongyi clutched the celadon sword with a solemn expression, in an empty place in the palace, the floor was depicted with ancient formations, nine kinds of marble solid colors with black, it looked like nine deaths and one life formation.
In the dark light hall, only the monotonous footsteps of the old witch and Zhao Hongyi echoed, and the painful voices of the warlocks in the alchemy area could be faintly heard, and Zhao Hongyi felt the atmosphere that was wrong with his keen spiritual sense.
After walking forward for nearly ten zhang in this way, in the depths of the White Bone Palace, two huge statues of gods and ghosts guarded both sides of the stone gate on the stone platform.
The old witch suddenly stopped, and showed a hideous smile at Zhao Hongyi, the eyes of the god and ghost statue were glowing green, and the faint green light looked extremely weird, and Zhao Hongyi's scalp was a little numb.
"I heard you're looking for me."
Just as Zhao Hongyi was guessing what was hidden in the stone gate behind the statue of gods and ghosts, a rather murderous voice echoed in the palace.
Zhao Hongyi quickly took a few steps back, and saw the old witch's twisted face and smile.
"Aren't you looking for me, why are you acting so frightened? Hahaha. The voice of the barrier resounded through the palace again.
At this time, Zhao Hongyi calmed down, only to know that he was not hallucinating, all these sounds were transmitted from the stone gate in front of him, who was hiding behind the stone gate, Zhao Hongyi didn't know, only knew that the person who could use his internal strength to transmit sound for thousands of miles was definitely not an ordinary person.
Zhao Hongyi said: "Why do you hide in the dark and don't show up? ”
Seeing Zhao Hongyi's tone, the old witch snorted coldly: "What a bold man, you dare to talk to the King of Techniques like this, do you know where you are now." ”
Zhao Hongyi said: "Ming people don't do dark things, I have something to ask for, I just hope that everyone can be honest with each other." ”
"It's been a long time since I had a guest in the White Bone Hall, you are very bold, I really want to see what is going on that makes you dare to take such a risk." The voice of the demon barrier was cold and merciless, and every word was shocking.
Zhao Hongyi said: "In this case, I don't beat around the bush, I heard that there is a kind of holy water here in the king of magic, as long as that person drinks a sip, he will forget the seven emotions and six desires, and I am here for this." ”
The old witch smiled fiercely and said, "The holy water can not only make the person who drinks it forget the seven emotions and six desires, but also make the person unconditionally obey the owner who gave the holy water, that is a good thing." ”
"You want holy water, tell me about your conditions, why should I promise you." The Demon Barrier's voice was cold.
Zhao Hongyi said with a solemn face: "As long as you can give me holy water, I can agree to any conditions." ”
"You want a premium? Hahahaha! ”
"Yes!" Zhao Hongyi didn't hesitate to answer.
"Hahahaha!!" The Demon Barrier's voice laughed wildly.
The white bone hall continued to tremble in the laughter, Zhao Hongyi shuddered, and suddenly the statue of the god and ghost guarded the door "rumbling" open, when he saw the scene inside, Zhao Hongyi gasped, his scalp was numb, and the green light floated in the hall, and in the throne above the palace, a body was as dry as skin and bones, and the pupil of the left eye was hollowed out, like an abyss. The contours of the face were expanded on all sides, and the mouth was rotten, and the facial features were already distorted to be extremely hideous.
On the throne, the king of art crossed his legs and looked down at Zhao Hongyi, his left arm was skinny, and his right arm was deformed and distorted, this was not a human at all, like a demon in the underworld.
Zhao Hongyi was afraid that he had never been afraid before, his heart was beating wildly, and the moment he saw the true face of the King of Magic, he almost suspected that he should not have stepped into this place.
The Sorcerer stood up with his deformed body, his whole body wandering with a green glow, strange and magical.
"If you want to trade your life for holy water, you are willing."
The witch saw that Zhao Hongyi's uncertain face turned pale, and a hideous laugh rang out.
Zhao Hongyi was speechless, and suddenly didn't know how to answer, feeling the endless breath of death, the celadon sword was clenched tightly, emitting a golden light.
The Shuwang looked at Zhao Hongyi's celadon sword, and his rotten mouth showed hideous white teeth, and said, "The celadon sword has been seen for a long time. ”
"Originally, the celadon sword was made by the blood clan, and it was taken away by your Zhao State so far, meeting is fate, I didn't expect that I could still see the celadon sword, if you dare to step into my forbidden land, you are not afraid that I will make you my puppet."
The hoarse and terrifying voice of the Sorcerer King echoed, and Zhao Hongyi couldn't help but take two steps back.
The witch saw that Zhao Hongyi's face was pale, and her smile was even more distorted.
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your life, nor the celadon sword. Now that I'm counted, I'm no longer part of the Bloodline! ”
"That's not right!"
"I think I've sold my soul to faith since the Berserker King drove me out of the Blood Clan. I used to be the brother of the Berserker King, and he was so ruthless and so vicious to drive me away! Those of the blood clan still think that they are alive in the true sense of the word, and you don't entrust your life to faith, so what is the difference between being alive and being dead? ”
The Sorcerer said hoarsely, slowly walking down the throne, the rotten face could smell the stench from a distance.
"I have long hated the blood clan, but unfortunately I am exhausted, and the army is not as good as it was at the beginning. Otherwise, how could that stinky boy be my opponent. ”
The Sorcerer said as he slowly walked forward with the body, smiling grimly.
"Do you really think that the purpose of building a city defense is to defend against you, in the eyes of your blood clan, the human race is just a small ant that survives, and only death can have purer power. Only the dead do not feel pain and fear. ”
Zhao Hongyi was stunned, he had heard that the war-loving blood clan was building city defenses, and everyone was guessing what was going on, but now it seems that he finally understands that what the blood clan is afraid of is not the three major races, but the warlocks in the voodoo forest who are afraid of rising again!
Zhao Hongyi deeply felt the power of the King of Arts.
The Shuwang said: "If it weren't for the fact that I was seriously injured after the battle with the Berserker King, and my vitality has not been able to recover, how could I have been hiding here for a hundred years, I am afraid that the blood clan is now my world!" ”
"Don't you want holy water? We can indeed make a deal. ”
Zhao Hongyi trembled and said, "What deal do you want?" ”
The King stretched out his bony arm and spread five fingers, and the green light continued to surround him.
Zhao Hongyi said: "You want five thousand people? ”
The witch laughed out loud when she heard this: "Hey, hey, hey, you think holy water is so cheap?" ”
Zhao Hongyi: "......"
The Sorcerer King grinned and said, "Fifty thousand lives, in exchange for holy water." ”
Zhao Hongyi took a step back sharply, almost unable to stand on his feet, and his face was serious after trembling: "Fifty thousand!! ”
"You're going to be a soldier." Zhao Hongyi said.
"As long as it's a fresh human life, it's fine." As he spoke, the white bone fangs of the King of Surgery were glowing with cold light.
Zhao Hongyi hesitated, 50,000 lives, that is a living life, his heart is extremely struggling, 50,000 lives to be brought to the Voodoo Forest, how difficult it is. Coupled with how could he do this, Zhao Hongyi kept fighting in his heart.
Zhao Hongyi has always wanted to be a benevolent king, but now how could he have fallen to this, thinking of the people of Zhao and Xia Yuqiu. Zhao Hongyi suddenly lost his mind.
"No!" Zhao Hongyi shouted in his heart.
"No!"
"Even if I sacrifice 50,000 lives, so what, I can get a person who loves me, a person I love, what is the value of the lives of those ants, those ants can reproduce endlessly anyway, overpopulation will make the whole country chaotic, 50,000 lives is nothing! As long as you can get Xia Yuqiu, even if it is 500,000 or 5 million, those are not worth mentioning! ”
Zhao Hongyi was a little crazy, and after some struggle, he said: "Yes!" ”
The Sorcerer King laughed, terrifying and hideous, with a wave of his bony hand, the god and ghost stone gate "boomed" and closed, and the sound echoed in the hall.
"The deal is done, remember your promise!"
Zhao Hongyi was undecided, at that moment he felt that he had sold the deepest faith in his soul to the evil ghost, and the witch smiled "hehe" and said, "His Royal Highness, let me go back to the territory of Zhao with you." ”
"What about holy water? Where's the holy water I want!? Zhao Hongyi shouted.
"The concoction method of holy water is on me, and I must go back to Zhao Country with you in order to complete the mission for you." The witch laughed viciously.
Zhao Hongyi felt deeply deceived and said, "If you can't complete your mission, then our transaction will be null and void." ”
"Don't worry, there's nothing I can't solve." The witch laughed.
Zhao Hongyi clutched the celadon sword tightly and watched the witch walk past him and walked straight towards the outside of the main hall. There was silence for a moment, and the eyes of the gods and ghosts statues of the two villages glowed with a faint green light, knowing that this place was not suitable for a long time, and they were reluctant to leave with them.
Seeing that Zhao Hongyi hadn't come out for so long, the soldiers of Zhao who were waiting in the voodoo forest were all discussing whether to kill him or not, and the hundreds of blood clan warlocks who surrounded the soldiers were like puppets.
Finally, the witch and Zhao Hongyi appeared at the door of the White Bone Hall, and all the soldiers shouted: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ”
"Your Royal Highness the Second Prince, are you okay?"
"His Royal Highness the Second Prince, let's get out of here, let's kill it!"
The fifth-order wyvern roared, but his eyes were extremely afraid of these warlocks.
The witch and Zhao Hongyi came to the vicinity of the flying dragon, and the soldiers of Zhao drew their swords against each other, but they did not dare to act rashly.
Zhao Hongyi said: "Rest assured, soldiers, I'm fine, let's leave to go back to Zhao State." ”
Hearing Zhao Hongyi say that he would leave for his return, everyone was relieved and couldn't wait to leave here quickly.
However, the old witch laughed a few times, and her distorted face suddenly said, "Prince, you can leave, but they can't." ”
"What!?"
"Speak wildly, we'll kill this old witch!"
"Your Royal Highness, let's kill it, don't listen to this witch's words to confuse the public, even if we die here today, we will not hesitate!"
Zhao Hongyi's expression was solemn, and he was in chaos. The old witch looked at Zhao Hongyi and said, "Don't forget, prince, you have a deal with the King of Magic, and these dozen people are counted in the number." ”
Although the soldiers didn't know what the witch was talking about, she was talking nonsense here, and a Zhao soldier threw his knife down.
However, before the blade fell, those puppet warlocks controlled him, and in an instant, the soldiers attacked, the scene was chaotic, and the monster made a frightened sound, and subconsciously counterattacked and attacked.
Zhao Hongyi looked at the dozen or so generals he brought over, and his heart ached. The old witch smiled and said unhurriedly, "Let's go, prince." ”
Zhao Hongyi gritted his teeth, summoned the flying dragon, took the witch, and flew towards the outside of the voodoo forest.
When the soldiers saw that Zhao Hongyi was in cahoots with the old witch, abandoning the light and turning to the dark, in addition to hatred, they were more disappointed, and shouted: "His Royal Highness the Second Prince!" ”
"Dog prince, we are blind, brothers, we fight with them!"
Outside the White Bone Hall, the sound of fighting sounded, the sword light flickered, and hundreds of puppet warlocks surrounded the soldiers of Zhao State tightly, like catching turtles in an urn......
