CH.63 Where to go
The difference between the blood-red bone dragon, which severely injured Durm, and the one who was seriously injured by An Rui, is obvious.
Durm had only seen the battle of the Dragon King before, but this time he finally saw An Rui's own battle and had a deeper understanding of An Rui's powerful strength.
"I have to say," Durm said with a heartfelt emotion, "it was really a crisp battle just now, I didn't expect you to win so quickly, that red bone dragon was completely suppressed by you, and there was no room for a backhand at all." I now understand why you were able to get the Eternal Soul Bone early, you have that strength. โ
"Forget it if it's a compliment. The right to fight just now should be a small gift from me, I have to go around somewhere else, you continue to recuperate, I will go first. Anrui had no need to stay, and said goodbye to Durm.
He turned and left the place, heading for his next destination.
Durm's injury was almost healed, he stood up, looked at the back of An Rui leaving, hesitated, and shouted: "King An Rui, thank you for helping me just now, I admire your strength and your personality." In the future, if you have any use for me, just say that I and my mercenary group are willing to work for you! โ
An Rui stopped, Durm was a mercenary leader, and he had a large mercenary group of up to 3,000 people under his command, and everyone in the group was brave and good at fighting, and it was a good fighting force. If you can get this mercenary group, it is equivalent to getting a new force.
"Commander Durm, the door of the Nova Empire is always open to you, and you can keep this sound transmission stone. You can use it to contact me in the future. We can talk about specific cooperation matters in the future. Anrui took a soundstone from the spatial package and threw it to Durm. was caught by one of them and put it away.
Both of them are big people, and their words have weight, and this kind of verbal agreement is the same as an agreement. It is foreseeable that it will not be long before Durm and his mercenary group will begin to serve the Nova Empire!
The reason why Durm made such a decision may be because of Anrui's strength. It may be to repay An Rui's little kindness just now, or it may be purely for money.
As for Durm's purpose, Anrui doesn't attach much importance to it. Those who work for him always have their own selfish motives.
On the road after that, Anrui never encountered anything commendable.
A few hours later, Anrui returned to the entrance and strode inside. Teleport back to the circular chamber of the Dragon Keep. The half-human, half-dragon castle lord is still sitting here. With a book in hand, I pass the time by reading.
Seeing that An Rui was back, the castle lord put down the book in his hand called "The Principle of Spiritual Imprinting", got up and smiled: "I guess you will be the first person to come back, how about it, this trip is quite smooth, right?" โ
"It's quite smooth, I got the eternal soul bone, and I also listened to the ancient dragon emperor give a history lesson." An Rui takes out the Eternal Soul Bone. Shook it three times.
The castle lord had already obtained the Eternal Soul Bone, and he was not very interested in this treasure. Instead, he became interested in the mystery in An Rui's words, and asked, "What did the Ancient Dragon Emperor tell you?" โ
"That's a long story." Anrui decides to tell the castle lord of Cthulhu's imminent awakening, and let the castle lord be the first listener.
The lord of Dragon Castle is definitely a big man, and he is qualified to know this heavy news.
Anrui is not a person who likes to talk at length, so he streamlined the whole thing to the extreme, and told the castle lord about it. After hearing this, the castle lord's face became gloomy, and his expression was as if he had heard the news of the death of his relative.
The change of three eras is common sense, and Cthulhu's existence is not a secret, what really shocked the castle owner was the imminent awakening of Cthulhu, this news was really terrible, and it portended ruin and disaster. If the world were to repeat the mistakes of more than 2,000 years ago, hundreds of millions of people would die from it!
This kind of disaster is much more severe than war.
"Anrui, I know you're a king and speak in a measured way, but I still have to ask, are you joking?" The castle lord asked solemnly.
"It's a pity, I'm not kidding, these words were said to me by the Ancient Dragon Emperor before. Bratton and Durm, who haven't come out yet, are likely to get the same news from the Ancient Dragon Emperor as me, and you can ask them again when the time comes. An Rui shook his head and replied with the same solemnity.
"I wish you were joking, if that's true...... Oh my God, I don't know what to say, is the world going to be ruined like it was in ancient times? This world is so beautiful, with a vast blue sky, a deep sea, birds and flowers, joys and sorrows...... Why did Cthulhu ruin something so good. โ
"Indescribable, elusive, immeasurable. Don't forget the 'three no's' on Cthulhu, no one knows what its purpose is. โ
Even though Anrui is a traverser, there are things he doesn't know, and this is one of them. He doesn't know the purpose of Cthulhu, who is indeed elusive.
The castle lord got to the bottom of it, and he couldn't wait for An Rui to repeat the news he heard from the Ancient Dragon Emperor. An Rui picked a key answer and discussed it with the castle master.
It's a really heavy topic, so heavy that it's desperately heavy. This calamitous world has had two lessons from the past, and both catastrophes almost destroyed the world, leaving only a handful of survivors. These two catastrophes have already painted a tragic future for the world of the seven seas. No one can say for sure that the world will survive this catastrophe and avoid the previous two incidents.
In the first two catastrophes, ninety percent of the living beings died, even if the number of deaths was discounted and turned into three or four percent of the dead, it was terrifying enough.
The castle lord lowered his head in despair, he never thought that after the end of this dragon fighting competition, it would cause such earth-shattering news. His brow furrowed and he muttered, "Where do we go from here?" โ
"Actively prepare for the battle, wait silently, that's all we can do." An Rui replied in a deep voice.
Indeed, in the face of Cthulhu's powerful existence that can destroy the Miรจ world, even An Rui, a traverser, has not much to do. His knowledge of the Seven Seas World was limited to the outbreak of the apocalypse, and he had not personally experienced the apocalypse, so he didn't know what would happen.
He firmly believed in his heart that things must have a turn for the better, and it could not be a dead end!
That Noah's Ark is likely to be a turning point, after all, this world relied on this artifact to survive the difficulties last time.
A few more hours later, a few dozen minutes before the end of the day, Bratton and Durm finally returned, exhausted and wounded, but unharmed. The castle lord stepped forward and asked the two about their results, and the two spoke briefly.
Bratton reached the summit of Dragonbone Mountain first, received the Eternal Dragonbone as a reward, and learned the same news as Anrui, knowing that Cthulhu was about to awaken. Durm was not so lucky, he only reached the halfway point of the mountain, and because he could not stand the powerful pressure, he finally returned with hatred, climbed down the mountain, and missed the eternal soul bone. Bratton stayed at the foot of the mountain to rest, and ran into Durm, and the two simply returned to the place together.
Everyone was more concerned about Cthulhu's awakening than about the Eternal Soul Bone, and the conversation quickly shifted to that. Unlike the prophetic An Rui, these people had just learned the news, and they were all surprised, even frightened. Something more terrible in the world than death is the destruction of the world.
"God on God? Phew! How can a god do anything to destroy the world, I think Cthulhu is a monster! The rude Durm took a sip and greeted Cthulhu's relatives up and down.
Everyone was silent and did not scold together, but the worries in their hearts were written on their faces.
Now that there were still seven years left before Cthulhu woke up, it was useless to worry, and everyone left the secret room under Anrui's suggestion, and returned to the Dragon Castle through the dark corridor before.
The return of the three dragon warriors was something to celebrate, and many of the people from the Dragon Castle were waiting outside with the dragon warriors from outside, and as soon as the three of them appeared, they immediately let out cheers. An Rui and the others could only respond with a wry smile.
In order to avoid unnecessary panic, the news of Cthulhu cannot be made public, only a very few people. For this, An Rui and the others have already reached a consensus, and even Durm, who is looking at the money, has sworn and made a guarantee.
An Rui attended a feast prepared for several of their dragon warriors and celebrated with everyone.
During the banquet, a servant of Dragon Castle suddenly approached An Rui and handed him a letter, claiming that it had been sent by a friend of An Rui's, and asked him to open it himself.
Anrui handed the letter to Quasimodo, who magically checked it to make sure it was nothing wrong and gave it back to Anrui. Poisoned and even cursed letters, which Anrui had received many times, were necessary.
He opened the envelope, took out the snow-white stationery, and looked at the contents of the letter.
The letter reads in Chinese: An Rui, I am Wang Zha, and I want to talk to you alone. I'm in Room 2 on the third floor of Dragoncastle.
It turned out to be a letter sent by Wang Zha!
An Rui's eyes lit up, and various thoughts turned in his heart.
In the previous life, Wang Zha was his rival, and the two fought many times. After crossing over, he embarked on the same path as in his previous life, but Wang Zha did not. At present, it seems that the two are not enemies, if the person who came is really Wang Zha, not a conspiracy set up by Su Ling, they should have a good meeting with Wang Zha to see what the other party wants to say.
"Quasimodo, don't eat yet, you get up and come with me, I'm going to see an old friend." An Rui put away the envelope and stood up.
Almost all of the other six traversers An Rui has been in contact with, but he has not been in contact with Wang Zha, an old opponent in his previous life, and now he finally has a chance to meet him. (To be continued......)
