Chapter 133: Prelude

Buzz――――――

With the Sky Holy City as the center, a shockwave visible to the naked eye quickly spread around. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

And with the Sky Holy City as the center, the Pantheon built around it exploded. Countless sacrifices and divine servants ran out in a panic and looked in the direction of the Sky Holy City.

"Fluctuations come from the great gods!"

In sight.

Set off a loud voice, I saw that it was densely packed, and nearly 10,000 Heavenly Wing Holy City warriors knelt on one knee around the Sky Holy City.

In all kinds of stunned and stunned expressions, it can be seen that everyone's face is full of disbelief.

"What happened? Sky Holy City, it's actually like this...... Disappeared into thin air? ”

"Oh my God, Sky Empire...... It's going to be a change! ”

"Who, what man did to make the god of the sky angry, so that he decided to leave and no longer shelter this great and majestic glorious kingdom."

Immediately following the news that shook the entire Sky Empire, not only did the Sky Holy City disappear, but even the Green Path Holy City and the Hurricane Temple all disappeared without a trace, as if they were steaming out of thin air.

To outsiders, this phenomenon is explained as a cause.

That is, the authority and influence of the god of the sky may have completely disappeared from this world. The Sky Warriors, Greenway Warriors, and Hurricane Templars will lose their abilities and status as sub-gods under the Sky Throne.

The Frost Plains outside the Imperial City of the Sky Empire.

There was not a single cloud in the blue sky, the fiery sun scorched the earth, the water in the river was hot, and the earth on the ground was smoking.

The sun is scorching. On both sides of the creek, ripe grains were so hot that they bent over and bowed their heads.

Leave the controlled area of the plains. Finally, there are no more fierce eagle warriors who patrol around.

Near the plains on the outskirts of the Alpha Forest, four dusty men, three men and one woman. Although each of these four people carries different weapons, they all have one point, they are all golden-eyed, and they are human beings from the whole world.

Since the beginning of the Evil Age, countless people from all over the realm have flocked to the Barbarian Continent through the open dimensional teleportation gates.

The way to get to the Sky Empire is to pay a large tax and enter the portal through the Wall of Despair. No matter what the cost, everyone has only one goal. It is to go to a majestic empire far from war, far from the Legion of the Howling, rich and peaceful, and protected by the god of the sky.

Holding a rotten scroll from nowhere, one of them, a scruffy young man with a beard, whispered to the other companions. "Hey, you're about to enter the Alpha Forest. Look, it's said to be a treasure left behind by the trolls. It's around this point. ”

The other fat man with a big shoulder and a round waist clearly scoffed at the scruffy young man's actions, "Bryten, don't show off your map that you got from a drunken dryad. You must know that there are more people who have gone to find troll treasures, and there are more people than can be counted. Passing by the ruins of the troll tribe, just drop by. Don't forget that the purpose of our trip is to register as a great bounty hunter in the Bounty Guild of Nature's City. Then in the great sky country, become a rich man. Maybe we'll even be able to buy a house in the Imperial City and get Imperial citizenship, which is exciting to think about! ”

"Actually, it seems like a good trip to the troll ruins, maybe we can catch a beautiful troll girl." The languid middle-aged man quipped, seemingly supporting the previous scruffy young man's rhetoric.

At this time, the young woman with golden hair next to her touched her forehead helplessly, "You all shut up for me." Three men will never be able to pee in a pot. ”

Ten meters away, I was surprised to hear this set of rhetoric.

For the Sky God of the Sky Empire, it is obvious that the upheaval of the past ten years has made Zoro not know much about the empire he has single-handedly built.

"Who?"

"Trolls?"

"Elf!?"

Three men and a woman soon appeared as strangers not far away.

Seeing a few people, nervously holding up the crossbow arrows in their hands, Zoro pursed a smile on the corner of his mouth, and replied simply, "Human! ”

The laws of the Sky Empire, in the Imperial Plains, the Alpha Forest, and the surrounding cities of nature, any human, orc, dryad, elf, or even a cowardly dwarf and a dwarf goblin may be a citizen of the Sky Empire.

And the 'creatures' who have the citizenship of the Empire are protected by the Empire. If you don't want to be chased by the swift, well-equipped, and smell-sensitive wolf security brigade, then find out the identity of the other party before hunting them.

"You- are you a citizen of the Empire? Or a bounty hunter, or a freedman? ”

A young woman with golden hair, holding a short crossbow in her hand, stared at a young man with black hair and a pair of black pupils and a grim appearance.

"Aristocrats."

What Zoro didn't expect was that the simple four words on his lips made the three men and one woman in front of him nervous, and they all picked up their crossbows and searched the grass around them in a panic to see if there was any lurking danger.

The evil nobles of the Empire, like vampires, are given privileges by the law that make them very dangerous.

An Imperial nobleman can kill freedmen, bounty hunters, and all creatures who are not citizens of the Empire in the wild. Moreover, the nobles of the empire were usually accompanied by a whole team of guards.

"There is no danger!"

The young lady with golden hair breathed a sigh of relief. Motioning for the other three to lower their weapons.

After all, not all imperial nobles. They are all selfish and greedy. Generally, only those orc nobles, wolf nobles and bear nobles with rough appearances are dangerous guys who need to be watched out for and vigilant. Relatively speaking, human aristocrats are relatively easy to speak.

"There is no silver badge of citizens, and there is no golden badge of nobility. Although the temperament is okay, the clothes are tattered, and most of such imperial nobles are fake. It could be a bounty hunter......"

With a few steps forward, a pair of clever little eyes swirled around Zoro's chest and up and down his body. And with the whispers of the scruffy young man. Three men and one woman couldn't help but raise the crossbow arrows in their hands slightly.

1o Star Eagle King effect, the other party's words, did not escape Sauron's ears.

At the time of the founding of the country, the so-called citizen badges, as well as the noble badges, were designed by Sauron himself. However, there are only some differences in color.

Feel the energy of the Holy City and flip it around. A quaint purple badge that Sauron wears casually on his chest.

So much so that the four people on the opposite side almost dropped their jaws in shock.

………………

Half an hour later.

Walking in the dense alpha forest, Zoro gradually became familiar with the group of four. Carry a crossbow bolt on your back. The scruffy young man with a cross-sword was named Briiten, and the clever fat man with an axe and crossbow arrows was named Faye.

Lazy but somewhat deep, a middle-aged man of about thirty years old, named Basilt.

"My name is Evie. Hailing from the Eastern Kingdoms, I am also a nobleman and once was. "The Golden Swordsman's self-introduction.

Introduced by four people. Sauron knew that they were all from the same place, the entire Eastern Kingdom.

Eastern Kingdom, an unfamiliar word, after some explanation, Zoro understood that the other party was referring to the Eastern Continent of the entire empire.

Ten years have changed dramatically. Even Zoro did not expect that the barbaric Sky Empire would become a country that all humans in the Panorama Plane aspired to. And get here without fear of hardship. Even here, these people don't even get the status of a freedman.

"I'm a little nobleman, huh...... I haven't left the Imperial City for about ten years......"

As the master of the three Temples, Sauron could easily change the color of his pupils, altering between black, silver, and green at will. As for the color of the head, it can be achieved with the help of a plant mixed with water.

It's just that no one in the hearts of the four people in the company believed Zoro's self-introduction.

Wearing the Purple Noble Badge, he is generally a high-ranking nobleman of the Sky Empire, just a minor nobleman? Not even a stupid dwarf can fool him.

has not left the Imperial City for ten years, except that it means that the other party has a place in the majestic Sky Imperial City, well, he is also a pampered and uneducated noble child. Looking at this tattered and tattered high-quality costume, which one should have been robbed or what?

The true thoughts of the Golden Female Swordsman, "Having a Zixun nobleman to accompany everyone is equivalent to an extra talisman." Since he wanted to go to the City of Nature together, there was no reason to refuse such a good thing. Perhaps, even the gate tax will be saved. ”

Half a day later, a group of people who were talking and laughing on the surface, but secretly had their own thoughts, gradually became quiet as they went deeper into the Alpha Forest.

Officially entering the depths of the Alpha Forest, the large trees and rattans in the primeval forest are intertwined with each other, as if covered with layers of large nets, and they are also very similar to the dark green seabed, and no ray of sunlight can penetrate it.

Walking in the once familiar forest, Zoro felt that ten years had not brought any great changes to this forest.

His gaze followed the leafy woods to the depths of the forest's core. "The Glorious Queen lives in seclusion in the abandoned abode of the Wood Elves. Ten years have passed, and I don't know how she is. ”

When viewed from the sparse foliage, the nearby mountain is covered with thick trees, revealing a thick green. The mountains in the distance are also covered with ancient trees, and the vision is dark.

This is the depths of the forest, so quiet that you can hear the sound of leaves falling to the ground, and the occasional squirrel biting off pine nuts and falling to the ground. Or the birds flutter their wings, and the ground is densely covered with sheep's tooth grass and ferns, and from time to time they sprang out of the wild.

The four people in the same group gradually became a little nervous with the crossbow arrows in their hands. In the last year or two, there has been an endless stream of people who have gone on expeditions to the Alpha Forest. Bounty hunters, freedfolk mercenaries, and even guerrilla sentries for the Wolf Clan's vigilante brigade.

Occasionally, you can enter the entrance to the dark forest from here, and the ruins of the Dryad clan are also worth a few of them.

But the more dangerous place here is the remains of the trolls. It was also the goal of the group.

Unlike the Dryad Ruins. According to the account, the Troll King, General Behringer, and all the Troll Warriors fell on the Sunset Plains.

The Sky Empire regards the relics of the Trolls as an inviolable sacred place. But despite this, the law is also turning a blind eye and allowing many adventurers to explore and dig.

It is said that the wealth that was given to the trolls back then was buried in the black soil deep in the Alpha Forest. And the second female emperor of the Sky Empire very much hopes to be able to 'recycle' this treasure.

"Everyone, be careful, follow the tips of the map. We've officially stepped into the Troll Relic. Breiten, a scruffy young man with a beard, reminded everyone and added the following note to the troll ruins.

"General Behringer, the king of trolls, once fought alongside the gods of the sky. In that war, Behringer led 100,000 berserkers and 8,000 trolls, all buried under the Great Wall of Sunset Plains. The god of the sky was furious, and personally led 500,000 orc legions to sweep and bloodied the entire Sunset Plains...... It is said that the few remaining trolls carry the grief of the extinction of the race. and the human slaves rewarded by the god of the sky, returning to their habitats with the treasures and rewards of plunder............"

Listening to Breiten's intriguing commentary, Zoro's mind seemed to go back to ten years ago. Self at that time. It seems that the obsession with authority and the divine seat has reached a state of madness, and even when he hears about the death of 100,000 soldiers, there is not a trace of real emotional fluctuations.

Now that I think about it, the bloodiness of war, and the greed for power, can easily lead a person to madness, and madness is often a prelude to failure and setback.

In other words, at the beginning of the Age of Evil, Sauron has an unshirkable responsibility.

"Shut up, Breiten. What you're talking about is a story that even the beggars on the side of the road know. ”

Evie unceremoniously interrupted Briiten. And signaled him to be quiet with his eyes.

And at the moment when Evie held the crossbow in her hand and scanned the grass to lift her feet and fall, she suddenly felt a tightness in her shoulders, and she was easily pulled back by an irresistible force.

"If you still want to keep your humble life, stand behind me."

Zoro's cold tone was like two people compared to half a day ago. And his action of kicking up a stone and touching the trap aroused the vigilance of the other three.

However, there was a fire of phosphorus flashing ahead, and ghosts were looming. "Whoa~Whoa~" There were several wolf howls in the distance, making the whole forest even more eerie.

"No, it's a wolf guerrilla sentry. To the soldiers of the Empire, we are finished! Hearing the howl of the wolf, the axe warrior fat man Faye screamed in surprise, and his face turned white in an instant. And from the horror and silence of the other three, it is obvious that I agree with the fat man's statement.

"The wolf sentry only kills thieves and rebels. Among these people, there are not only wolf clans......"

Zoro's indifferent voice just fell, in the eyes of the fat man Faye and a few others who were about to burst. A layer of cyan light flashed on Zoro's body. (To be continued.) )
