Chapter 184: Contrast
Every time I see this strange architecture, I can't help but feel the beauty of another world.
The rough and strange architectural style of the demon race, that group of people built the majestic Demon King City on the cliff in a different posture.
The Bloods, on the other hand, have a special sense of mystery, a time-honored antiquity, and from this window, the different buildings, high and low, are arranged in an aesthetic order, separated by just the right distance from each other, and dotted with a special nocturnal plant, swaying in the night breeze.
It seems that every building has its own peculiar story.
Felik watched as the crystalline orange-yellow liquid slowly flowed into the goblet, and Claudia's elegant eyebrows furrowed inadvertently.
This guy shouldn't have been drugged yet, right? Claudia speculated in her heart, hoping that this time it would just be drinking.
Felik raised his wine glass, touched it lightly on the other party's wine glass, made a crisp sound of "ding", he smiled, raised his head and poured the orange-yellow liquid into his throat, the cold wine entered the stomach from his mouth, and the refreshing fragrance remained between his lips and teeth, good wine!
"You can't see the sun, but your life is really something that only nobles can enjoy." Felik sighed.
Claudia: "After all, it has existed for so long, and the accumulation of material things is much more than that of human beings, and if you live for a long time, you don't know where the purpose of life is." ”
"Why don't you know when you have so much time to think?"
"Maybe life is not life without death, so I can't find it." Claudia replied casually.
Felik thinks this conclusion is very interesting, it may indeed be the same as what the other party said, no death is not life, and in a way, maybe the blood clan is still quite miserable.
Felik was silent for a moment, then his fingertips gently activated the magic power, and a small piece of ice condensed and fell into the wine glass, he also added a piece of ice to Claudia's glass, and then he spoke: "Claudia, how about omitting the disguise step this time?" ”
"Huh?"
What is this guy talking about? Claudia was stunned and cast a puzzled look at the other party.
Just when her mind was blank, Felik pressed his hands on the table, and the whole person leaned over, he put his mouth to the other person's ear, and whispered, "Don't play stupid? Haven't you been awake all the time? ”
This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue, slamming Claudia's head, and something seemed to explode in her mind, and a large amount of information poured in, making it impossible for her to analyze the current situation.
Seeing Claudia's stunned expression, Felik shrank back and looked at the other party expressionlessly, as if he was a little impatient with Claudia's reaction.
"You should know too, the medicine Belina gave me is fake."
"I don't understand what you're talking about."
Claudia's face was flushed, her eyes were evasive, and her breath was short, like a criminal whose crime had been exposed.
Claudia's reaction, Felik had long anticipated.
He didn't want to keep that strange relationship all the time, not to mention that he was a demon king, it was fake to say that he was not moved in the face of Claudia's stunning beauty, not to mention that he had already crossed the last line, how could he not be in the bag.
……
Fort Quito, also often referred to as the Fort of Mercenaries.
This place is at the forefront of the war against the demons.
It is also the strongest fortress, and this place can even be called a small city.
Walter walked around the city walls, looking up at the battlefield tens of thousands of meters away.
It's not that she has good eyesight, but in the center of the front-line battlefield, the demons and the outside world are in a confrontation, and both sides won't stop the spell bombardment, and the non-stop spell bombardment will reflect the sky into a colorful appearance, and there are constantly large and small magic circles floating in the sky tens of thousands of meters away, and the light doesn't even need to be lit at night, this looks like a beautiful landscape, but it takes away precious lives all the time.
"Chief, it's getting late."
"Alberta, I've already said it, the Revolutionary Army doesn't exist anymore."
"But"
"No, but, now we are just mercenaries." Walter said.
Fort Quito is a very special place on the front line, its predecessor was a fortress built by a human emperor a hundred years ago, but it has been lost many times in a long war, during which it has been occupied by elves, beasts, and demons, and over time, its ownership has become a big problem, and now, it has become a gathering place for mercenaries.
The mercenaries here are all employed by a certain country, maybe humans, maybe elves, or orcs, in short, the mercenaries here are very mixed, from all over the place, there is no communication and fetters with each other, the only thing in common is the purpose, that is, to crusade against the demons!
Their crusade against the demons is only for the sake of mercenary money, relying on the heads of the demons in exchange for objective rewards, and if they reach the amount they expect, they will generally choose to return to their hometowns. Of course, very few make it back to their hometowns, and nine out of ten die on the battlefield, a place where outlaws trade their lives for a future, and of course a place where some people hide from wanted, such as rebels.
Because Fort Quito does not belong to any country, no country has the ability to arrest people here, and when the revolutionary army failed in its rebellion, the remnants of the army went to Fort Quito for the first time, where they were risking their lives, but they also had hope of life.
It's impossible to live in the empire against a crime, but here, they can trade their strength for money, and if they're lucky, they can even rebuild a strong army and then make a comeback under Walter!
Since ancient times, there is no greater merit than from the dragon, rebellion is a road to the cause of the black, in addition to glory and wealth, they also have a higher faith, that is, to make the world a better place.
But now, in addition to faith, everyone in the revolutionary army has a new thing on their backs, and that thing is called sin. After the revolution, instead of ushering in a new era for the empire, it fell apart, and the people became more miserable, and the motives were eliminated, and as a result, each of them was a sinner, so they had to start over in order to atone for their sins.
The same is true of Walter, who feels more guilty than others, because her original motives are not pure enough, and it is okay to say that she brought the empire to its demise.
But after carrying so much, she is calmer than before, and even she doesn't know why.
"Chief! His Majesty the Emperor has woken up! Suddenly, a soldier rushed up the wall and shouted at Walter.
In an instant, Walter's face changed.
