Chapter 026: Demon Race
The Green Shade is not directly called an island because it is large enough to be the size of a province in the Kingdom of Dande. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The mist, like a veil of lace covering the eyelashes.
"Your Highness, is this Black Mountain City? It's even more majestic than the royal city. ”
"I've never seen anything like this, it's the first time I've seen it with my own eyes."
No matter what exclamations Behringer and Cicelie uttered, Sauron forced himself to remain silent at this moment. To him, this quiet city, while majestic, seems to be floating in the shadows.
In the shade, Montenegro is located on the side of Montenegro, built on a shallow beach about 4 km from the coast, connected to the land by a giant stone bridge. The whole city is composed of many small islands, and hundreds of waterways, hundreds of bridges are connected into one, and are connected by boats, so Montenegro City is also known as the "water giant city".
The high Black Mountain stands on the side about 20 km from the coast. On the surface alone, Montenegro has a pleasant climate and abundant products in all four seasons. There are countless products such as sea cucumbers, turtles, abalones, and lobsters, and there are also abundant reserves of iron ore and silver ore. But no one should forget that the Greenland has another name, the Door of Shadows or the Cursed Land.
As early as the time of the royal city, Sauron heard the bard sing:
"On the side of the Black Mountain, in a vast and boundless wilderness, there is hardly any trace of the living in the distance. The cold wind howled, it was the coolness that came out of hell. The river was on the verge of drying up, bent like a ribbon and stretched into the distance, and in the distance countless intertwined together, casting shadows on the earth. The afterglow of the setting sun casts obliquely on the green soil, and occasionally heads and broken bones buried in the soil can be found, the only ornaments that have been polished by the wind. The mournful chirping of the crows seemed to pity the land, but none of them would fall to perch, and some only let out the mournful cries of the tenacious eagles. The strangely shaped monsters on the ground rushed by, and the messy footprints on the ground soon disappeared without a trace in the rolling of the green maggots. The wind was blowing strongly, and there was a wail every cloudy day, probably because the dead creatures were weeping sadly, and the blood of the gods had been shed here, and everything was so dark and desolate. ”
Legend has it that there were wars before there were humans, and the Greenland was once an ancient battlefield where countless creatures fell, including the gods. The existence of Montenegro is like a natural barrier. Block the forces in the shadows and prevent them from escaping their cages and infiltrating the seashore.
In the story of the bard, in addition to ghosts, corpses, hounds, water monkeys, poisonous lizards, giant snakes, cannibal women, etc., the two creatures that impressed Zoro the most were defined by humans as demons.
The Undead Knight, this demon creature, has no body, only a soul and a powerful undead power. It is equivalent to a ghost with a strong will and strong faith, although the body has rotted completely. They are still fulfilling their promises to the gods and continuing their unfinished battles.
Stand in opposition to the Undead Knight and see him as a mortal enemy. It is probably the god of death who has the ability to create Death Knights, and each of them is the backbone of the army. The Death Knight appears to be a decomposing corpse, with a black skeleton wrapped in rotten skin and two orange dots of light in each of his eyes. The Death Knight's voice was cold, like an echo from a deep valley.
At the end of the bard's story, he usually reminds: "Most of these two types of demons were powerful creatures under the command of the gods. As a result, you can find them wearing valuable or magical items, armor, and cloaks that show off their status. Even one of them is a treasure that can be given to the king. ”
………………
When the ship entered the harbor, the Prince of Montenegro and his Black Raven guard were the first to disembark. Because of the distance, Sauron didn't see his facial expression. In the meantime, I saw a middle-aged man with gray hair and a ...... with the same hair color from a distance The girl who instantly attracted all of Zoro's attention. Zoro saw them talking softly, but the strong wind combined with the distance made it difficult for him to overhear what they were saying.
But after gaining a foothold on land, Yana spotted Sauron on the deck. The moment she looked him in the eye, it seemed as if something made her heart tighten.
"Hello, my lady." Zoro nodded and gestured, smiling at the silent meeting.
Then, as if someone had kissed her on the cheek, Yana's face flushed.
Although his fingers were slightly crooked, Sauron swore that it was not a gesture of touching his chest. Looking at Yana's back, and seeing that her shoulders still revealed a hint of anger, Zoro suddenly realized that the physiological dream had really happened.
"My lord, is she the one you are looking for on the ship?" Ciceli was silent for a moment before turning her head to look at Zoro.
He glanced at Cicely and said calmly, "Yes. Then after a pause, Sauron added, "It should have nothing to do with beauty, and it should not be taken lightly." Meeting for the first time is like someone you've known for a long time, and this feeling is not something anyone can bring to you. ”
Ciceli looked through Zoro's eyes into the darkness inside, causing her to almost lose her way, only to see the edge of his vision hazy. For a moment, Cicelie felt a tingle that gnawed at her soul. Although she didn't quite understand what it was yet. But deep down in her heart, she still kept telling herself, "Whoever adults like, Cicelie must also like." ”
By the time the Black Raven Guard and the Shadows had left, the sweaty sailors began to come alive. The children in the cabin were released, and the hordes descended from the deck, and each was given a plate of food, a glass of wine, sweet meat, or a whole wooden bowl of late autumn apples, so unexpectedly carefully arranged as if by magic.
"Oh, I've never had such good food, I love this place."
The swallowing child's hair was thick and unkempt, his eyes were piercing, and his face had fine lines that were visible from a bright smile.
Everyone's performance felt like after a long and never-ending period of time, the group of children finally left the belly of the sea monster in the storm. Until a young man beside him, who was obviously a little flustered, grabbed Sauron's arm and asked frantically, "Your Highness, look, those people seem to be coming for us?" Zoro lifted his eyes, only to feel himself sinking in his movements.
"Eat quickly, little cubs, this may be your first and last meal in the shade. Once you've eaten, prepare to swear with your lives and swords to officially become a trainee apprentice. ”
The indigo eyes and high cheekbones reveal the large men with a few baskets of short swords, descendants of pirates of the neighboring archipelago.
It is said that people with such traits are distant relatives of the Dander royal family, and are the ones who retain the most warrior blood.
