Chapter 45: The Spectator
Scorched wooded edges.
The two Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Karen, who died suddenly, and Suleiman, who was hungry, stopped moving.
"You can't just go that way. I'm going back to find something. Karene turned and walked back into the woods.
"Is that what you're talking about?" Suleiman pulled a necklace out of his coat pocket and shook it twice in front of her.
Underneath the necklace is the familiar black horsehead pendant.
"Well done, you picked it up for me!" said Karen overjoyed, reaching out to get it.
But all she caught was air. Because Suleiman took the necklace back before her hand was about to touch the horse's head pendant.
"What do you mean!" Karen's face suddenly sank as she felt fooled, and the joy she had seen a second ago disappear in an instant.
"Miss Karen, Pegasus can't just return it to you, I'll keep it for the time being, please forgive me. Suleiman ignored Karen's face and put the pendant back in his pocket.
"Bastard, Suleiman Pacch, who do you think you are!Pegasus is the 'Doomsday Doom Colon' given to me by the Commander himself, and no one has the right to take it away!" Karen's face was full of black lines, and she was on the verge of rage.
Seeing the murderous look in her eyes and the slightly raised spear, Suleiman probably guessed what she wanted to do. Instead of being nervous, he calmly said to Karen, "Please don't do anything you regret." Even if you take me down now, have you ever thought about what the Commander and the other Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will do? The other two won't try as hard to persuade each other as I do. ”
"You ......"
It sounded like a pleading, but it was actually a threat, which made Karin grit her teeth even more.
"You don't want to believe it, but it's true. I do have the authority to do so, and it is up to the commander-in-chief to decide for himself. Otherwise, why do you think the Commander sent one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse to inquire about the Tower of Babel while waking up another Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?" Suleiman replied with a polite smile, but he gave Karen an unspoken majesty.
"You mean, from the beginning, the commander was worried that I was going to mess things up, so he sent you to spy on me?" Hearing this, Karen's tone gradually softened.
"It can't be said to be 'surveillance'. The commander-in-chief's exact words were: Let me help you in time when you encounter 'difficulties that you cannot solve with your ability.' But unexpectedly, the real situation was worse than I expected. ”
"! Who said I can't solve it with my ability!"
"If you can solve it, why would you break the taboo and use 'realm'?"
"I ...... This ......," Karen's words were chopping.
"I understand, you can tell the reason why you are justified because your only dearest brother has been trampled on. However, Miss Karen, please don't forget that the reason why the Commander wants to give us the 'Doomsday Doom' to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse is so that one day, when the end of the world comes, we can lead the surviving humans through the catastrophe, and not just use it out of his own selfish motives. In other words, owning the Doomsday Pony is a responsibility, not a privilege, for us in the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. ”
Suleiman's words pierced Karen's heart like a sharp knife. Her whole body trembled, as if she had come to her senses. However, with her stubborn personality, she still made a final fight unconvinced: "It is true that I violated the taboo by using Pegasus to open the 'domain' without the commander's consent, but you yourself are not the same? When you used the 'domain' just now, I don't believe that you asked the commander for permission." ”
"That's right, you're telling the truth. Nor did I go on a 'desperate journey' with the Commander-in-Chief's consent. Suleiman readily admitted to Karen's questioning, and then he suddenly changed his words, "But I didn't break the taboo. Because there is an exception, that is, when encountering an enemy who is also a strong person in the 'domain', our four horsemen of the apocalypse do not need to apply to the commander-in-chief, and can judge whether to use the 'domain' according to the situation at the time. ”
"How is that possible? You mean the three humans...... They are all young and cannot be 'field' powerhouses. Karen had a look of disbelief on her face.
"Don't you really notice? The blonde-haired girl, she's no ordinary person. Suleiman looked in the direction where he had been fighting his allies, and judging by his expression, it was definitely not a joke, "I think they must have broken free from the 'desperate journey' by this time." After all, the only one who can crack the 'domain' is the 'domain'. ”
"How could it be? At this time, Kalian's mind flashed Sophia's face.
Karin knew that she didn't believe it, she just couldn't accept it.
"Alright. Don't think about it so much, let's go back to our lives. ”
As he spoke, Suleiman took off his gloves, and a white light flashed on the horse's head ring, and the milky white Doomsday Pony manifested beside him.
"What is my life? My mission has not been ......" Karenn did not expect Suleiman to be so sudden.
"Forget about that task, it's impossible to accomplish it. However, it is really an unexpected gain that this interesting world has actually given birth to a 'realm' powerhouse. Nor do they do it in vain. Haha......" Suleiman laughed loudly, his braided beard shaking.
He stretched out his hand and lightly touched the back of the white war horse, and the war horse neighed, and a magic array of white light shone from his eyes, and then his body changed for the second time. In less than a few seconds, a tiny war horse turned into a huge battleship - the ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman".
"Let's go. ”
Suleiman also ignored the so-called gentleman's rule of ladies first, and took the first step to get on the boat. Karin didn't say anything, and followed closely behind. She knew that her return this time was not as simple as revenge, and although Suleiman did not say it explicitly, she knew that there was a punishment that she had to face awaited.
"Woo--woo...... Woo......"
The whistle sounded again. The ghost ship "The Flying Dutchman" raised its sails and took off into the sky.
On a cliff next to the woods, a group of bystanders watched the ghost ship depart.
These are 7 figures of different heights.
The Lich King Callowe, and the 6 people who gathered around him:
On the edge of the cliff in front of the Lich King sits a simple and cute little girl on the surface, "Rainy Night Ripper" Amelia;
To the left hand side of the Lich King stands a Humpty Dumpty man in a one-piece suspender uniform, "Coffin Designer" George Bernard Shaw;
The man on the right-hand side with his face covered and his bag draped is "Coroner" Tony•Nader;
Sitting in a wheelchair on Tony's right back side sits "Hook the Soul" Tegar, wrapped in layers of gauze and not yet fully recovered;
and the taciturn long-haired, white-robed eccentric, "Netherworld Corridor" Sariktin, stood behind them without saying a word;
But the furthest away from them was a tall, long-haired beauty, with a mature and gentle manners, dressed in a loose plain dress, sitting sideways on a stone in a natural position, with a sleeping baby in her arms. As if indifferent to other things, she focused on softly singing a lullaby to the baby in her arms, never taking her eyes off that cute little face.
All right. The Lich King's personal guard has a total of 7 people, and all 6 of them have been assembled except for the "Grave Keeper" Taigulai, who is absent from other missions.
George Bernard Shaw, the "coffin designer", pointed to the "Flying Dutchman" and asked the Lich King beside him: "My lord, I don't understand, why did you let those guys go back so lightly now that you released that female knight from Sarrictin's 'Ghost Hitting the Wall', and asked Tony to bring in the priestess named Sophia and her companions, so that the two sides would fight each other and lose each other?"
Before the Lich King could speak, Tony•Nader on the other side had already answered for him, "Your Excellency didn't want them to fight each other. Sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight is only one of the means, and testing the true intentions of the Death Knight and the city-state of Nailo is the goal. Now that the goal has been achieved, there is no need to do anything superfluous. ”
Seemingly satisfied with Tony's answer, the Lich King Carlovin did not speak, counting as an affirmative response to his reply.
"My lord, I've always had a strange feeling about those guys called the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'. It was Tygar the Hook who spoke, and his voice was conveyed through layers of gauze.
"You're trying to say that their bodies don't appear necromantic?" the Lich King could probably guess what his men were trying to ask.
"Yes. Tegar continued, "Necromancers like us who practice dark magic, over time, will manifest a necromancy in different stages of the body. However, the female knight who used the Ice of Death, her body showed no signs of necromancy at all, but looked like a normal human living in the world. What is the reason for this?"
During the battle with Kalian, Tegar used the Hook Soul Chain to connect directly to Kalian, so he knew Karen better than the others.
"You're right, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are all normal people. This is different from us necromancers who rely on dark magic to keep our bodies and souls alive in the world. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse signed a contract with the Death Knight to coexist forever, giving them an almost infinite chance to be reincarnated, and as long as little Jack still exists in this world, the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse will not really 'die'. Even if ** has died, whether it is old death, illness or killing, as long as the souls of the four horsemen still exist, they can continue to be reincarnated in the ** cloned for them by Little Jack. Speaking of this, Karlovin smiled slightly, "Little Jack, you really put a lot of thought into it for the sake of these four knights." ”
At this moment, the baby in the arms of the young woman behind suddenly cried loudly, and the childish cry of "wow" broke the atmosphere on the cliff. Everyone (except the Lich King and Sariktin) looked behind them together.
"Oh, baby, you're hungry, don't make a fuss, Mommy will give you food. The young woman coaxed the crying baby and then made a startling move.
I saw that she completely ignored the existence of all the men present, and unbuttoned her clothes as if no one was around, revealing her full twin peaks to feed the baby.
Although it was not known if he would be able to express breast milk, the baby quickly calmed down.
But her move caused Emilia, who is also a woman, to be dissatisfied. Emilia frowned at this shameless behavior in front of the opposite sex, and shouted at the young woman, "Hey, don't you know how to find a place to hide?"
"Shhhhh......h ”
But Emilia was not a fuel-efficient lamp, in fact, she had already seen that the young woman was not pleasing to the eye, so she crossed her waist and shouted angrily: "You give me enough to stop! Don't think I don't know, this child is not yours at all, but one of the toys that you don't know where you came from, and in a few days, you will kill all those abducted babies when you get tired of playing." You don't have any children at all, don't pretend to be garlic for me!"
"Who do you say doesn't have children?" the young woman looked up at Emilia with a murderous look between her brows.
When Emilia was about to scold, she suddenly found that she could only "babble" a few simple syllables.
"Well done, Tony, this pack of 'dumb pills' was put in at the right time. George Bernard Shaw gave Tony, the "coroner," a thumbs up.
"It's just a gesture. I don't want to see disaster happen again. Tony nodded to George Bernard Shaw, then walked over to an angry Emilia, "Just bear with me for a while so that you don't continue to cause trouble for us." Suddenly, he leaned into Amelia's ear and said to her in a voice as thin as a gnat but unusually solemn, "Newcomer, you almost stabbed a honeycomb just now. You haven't been in the 'Guards' for long, but there's one thing you need to know: no matter what happens, don't mess with Suina, the Weeping Ghost Mother. Do you understand?"
Seeing that Emilia did not move, the young woman did not bother with her anymore.
"Good boy, my darling, Mommy loves you the most. ”
Gently stroke the baby's head while feeding the baby. "Weeping Ghost Mother" Suina showed the most loving and gentle motherly smile
