269. Sodom
"You, your appearance, seems to have changed a little?"
The old man saw the thin young man in front of him, his face was radiant at the moment, his eyebrows were heroic, and an otherworldly temperament flowed lightly on him, exuding a noble and calm demeanor, which was difficult to describe in words.
What's even more daunting is that the powerful aura emanating from this young man, under the pressure of this aura, ordinary people are only afraid that their knees will be inexplicably weak when they see him.
"Okay, my appearance has nothing to do with you, your confinement should be unlocked...... Now, it's time to make good on your promise. ”
"Wait, that thing you said, at the time...... I haven't promised you yet! ”
The old man knew that this matter was very important, and he was the great elder of the Jidu people, how could he be hasty in this kind of thing?
"Heh, yes, it did happen suddenly, and you haven't made any promises." Zhuge Yun sneered.
"That said, this can't be regarded as a broken promise, because I ...... in the first place"
Before the old man finished speaking, Zhuge Yun shook his head again, interrupted him stiffly, and said, "It's nothing—but, it's not too late for you to promise me now, otherwise...... Hmph, I don't mind letting you go first. ”
"Y-What do you say? You...... What do you mean? The old man suddenly panicked, and when he saw the other party's eyes, there was that kind of murderous intent again.
"Hmph, literally, of course, do you think I'm joking?" The young man's faint words were loud.
The old man was shocked at the moment!
What's going on with this young man?
The tone is like the coercion and coercion of a street scoundrel, and he speaks so arrogantly and domineeringly! It seems that if you don't agree to him immediately, you are afraid that you will die immediately and die at his hands.
It's a pity that his body that has just been unlocked, before he has time to enjoy his freedom, he will be reduced to a situation from which he will never recover.
Zhuge Yun doesn't care what kind of plan he is, whether he is the great elder of the people, or the supreme power in myths and legends, in short, if he wants to get it, he must find a way to get it.
The stories in myths and legends are all deceitful, not to mention that he doesn't care about the reincarnation of false gods like him, even those true gods who are immortal and immortal.
"How? I'm waiting for your answer. Zhuge Yun's tone was not good, and it sounded quite frightening.
"You, you are unreasonable! …… Well, for your sake, I promised to repay you. ”
"Heh—then tell me quickly, or take me with you." Zhuge Yun said calmly.
"I know I'm out of strength now, and I can't stop you at all! I'll tell you where it is and how to get there. ”
"Very good, but what I want to tell you is that even if you don't lose your strength and return to peak condition, you won't be able to stop me." He said lightly.
The old man finally relented and agreed, but he didn't forget to add a sentence later.
"But even if you can get there safely, you have to follow the rules there, and don't mess around!"
"Heh—you're right. As for the rules you said, it depends on my mood......" Zhuge Yun grinned, as if he didn't take his words seriously at all.
"What do you say? See how you're in the mood? The old man was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and secretly thought that this guy didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in his gourd, so he couldn't help frowning and looking at him suspiciously.
The other party's answer was as if he was joking.
He grinned: "Of course, it refers to the rules, when I am in a good mood, I will set some rules for you." ”
"Y-What do you say? Set the rules for us? I think you're crazy! The old man saw that he looked arrogant, and was looking at him condescendingly, as if he knew very well what he was talking about.
The young man looked at himself with a slightly contemptuous look, and he couldn't help but feel a fire burning in his heart, which was the state of anger that was approaching its peak.
But he was also helpless, because he knew that this young man was too powerful, so powerful that he could destroy the shackles on his body with his spiritual power, and even the energy of the old ruler "Igos" could be devoured, and this power alone was already unprecedented.
"Crazy? Heh- do you think I'm crazy? I've seen things that are more terrible than crazy, and if you mention the word 'crazy' to me now, it's up to you, and you're worthy? Zhuge Yun's proud expression did not change at all, but there was some impatience in his tone.
Knowing her master's temper, Evenna heard that this old man who was like a god stick dared to contradict him, and scolded him sharply: "What are you to dare to disobey my master? ”
The old man was a little irritated by his nonsense, but there was nothing he could do about this person.
If God wants to destroy it, he must first make it mad.
"Okay, count you ruthless. But I advise you, young man, that it is easy to break if it is too rigid! After saying this, his expression trembled, and he paused again, and said, "That's right! One more thing, can you tell me, what is your real purpose? ”
"It won't be long before you will know, and I will tell you that the 'secular' world you are familiar with outside is very different from before, and you will experience it when you go out."
"Well, I'll go out and see for myself how different the world you are talking about!"
"Don't talk nonsense, are you going to tell me where that place is, or are you going to take me there?"
"Hmm...... Don't be so impatient, young man, now, even if I tell you to stand in front of the door, you may not be able to see it! After the old man finished speaking, he smiled a little helplessly but a little mysteriously.
"What do you mean?" Zhuge Yun asked with a frown.
"I've already sent someone to guard the destroyed passageway."
"Huh? Did you send someone to defend it? Heh – but that's not a problem for me. ”
"Not only that, but that shrine is also suppressed by the Blood Seal Circle"
"What is the Blood Seal Circle?"
"Hmm...... Well, forget it, I don't bother to explain! Since you want to go so much, I'll take you on a trip myself, but I don't know if the prestige of my old bones can still suppress those blood clans......"
The old man's tone was a little hesitant, but his eyes returned to a noble look, and he seemed to have made up his mind.
Zhuge Yun secretly thought to himself, this old guy really had something to do with the blood clan, but he didn't know the connection between them.
……
The Northland is a world of ice and snow, thousands of meters high mountain ranges, which have been buried under the weight of ice for tens of millions of years as early as the time of the First Ice Glacier.
In addition to the mountains, valleys and canyons hidden under the ice, there is a deep underground valley that connects the interior of several mountain ranges, up to 10 kilometers below sea level, almost as deep as the Mariana Trench.
An ancient continent that has been hidden by ice and snow for nearly 100 million years after four seasons of glaciers leads from here to the depths of the earth's mantle.
Since Good Friday, the geology of this place, like the rest of the earth, has undergone many drastic changes, with three or four active volcanoes becoming active. Boiling magma erupts from the earth's crust, and the pressure of the mantle has found a way out, and some unknown mountains have gradually risen from the land below sea level, and the huge fault zones between the mountains and in the valleys have lifted the ice of the continental shelf that had been buried for many years.
Beside the cliff stone wall up to nearly a kilometer, there are faint traces of artificial carving. Even if someone stands on the highest point in the region, Clark Ice Peak, they can't see the white beauty of the snowy continent that winds through it.
Hundreds of kilometers across, a thick fog shrouded the dome of a fissure in the earth, flanked by the final entrance to the sea of mountain remnants, like black monsters plunging headlong into the sea of ice.
No one knew that this inaccessible place was the hiding place of Sodom, the Red Queen of the Bloods.
The active volcano not far away has faintly erupted, but for hundreds of years it has only spewed out billowing smoke intermittently, and the mountains and the earth occasionally tremble briefly, but it does not show its anger to this land of ice and snow.
Farther away, a strange black tower shrouded in mist towered in the midst of the sea of ice, like a giant finger pointing to the stars.
A temple that looks like it has been carved into a crevice in the rock is hidden deep in these canyons, a dimension once inhabited by the guardians of the gods, and never before has a technologically advanced civilization explored such a deep part of the region.
Ancient artifacts sleep quietly in the depths of the dimly lit palace, and the brick walls depicted in bas-reliefs are still intact as they were in their original form.
If an archaeologist stumbles into it, it will be as if he has discovered the greatest secret of the century.
Everything here seems to be cut off from time and space, leaving no trace of the destruction of time.
Even in the turbulent and upheaval years, even the ornate corridors here have not been affected in the slightest, and they have remained until now.
The earthy yellow surface of the underground shrine is beautifully carved, and on it are some strange symbols and various indescribable images that no one can understand. The shrine is connected by a neat, clean avenue, but it is more of a square than an avenue, and the width of the road alone is more than half a kilometer, and it gradually narrows to the underground palace of the Red Queen Sodom.
"Your Majesty, it was your servant Paris who asked to see you, saying that there was an urgent matter to report to you." A Blood servant, dressed in a medieval ornate bodysuit, prostrates himself under the Queen's blood-red pomegranate dress.
"Paris is back so soon? Let him in. Sodom said lightly.
At this moment, the Red Queen was leaning on a strange throne carved from a single piece of dark green sparkle, playing with a red gem in her hand. The gem was large, very large, and was adorned with a ring of precious metals with a heavy gold border, and the texture of the material was not visible, but it was clear that it was a beautiful and perhaps priceless necklace.
Beside her was a tall, imposing-looking man who had completely covered his face with a heavy helmet, except for a few small vertical fence gaps from his eyes, in which the occasional green reflection could be faintly seen.
Paris's face was so pale, bloodless that even Queen Sodom, who had lived for countless centuries, rarely saw his soul-like expression.
Sodom's originally calm face immediately showed displeasure.
A bad premonition came over her, and she didn't want to be outside when she was listening to Paris's report, so she waved directly at the tall masked man.
"Go down and rest first, my servants will serve you well, and I will think about what I just said, and I will reply to you in a few days."
The queen has always been decisive when she speaks, but this time when she spoke to the other party, not only was her tone very polite, but she also said that she needed to think about it, which made the masked man a little dissatisfied.
He snorted softly and said, "Of course you can!" You may think about it, but I hope that you will think about it for as little time as possible, and that I will return to my life as soon as possible. If so, can you give me an answer tomorrow? ”
The queen stared at the masked man's face, as if she wanted to see through the helmet the flickering gaze on his face, and became more and more displeased, and said, "I said it, I will think about it!" That's it, please! ”
After speaking, he stretched out his white arm and turned his head away from him.
