425 The realm of the dead, the test of the knight king

Trash King......

Li Qi struggled to hold back his laughter, only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname, it is really a wise saying.

Just listening to this title, Li Qi understood how downtrodden the Dark Moon was in the realm of the dead. It is estimated that for more than a thousand years, she has been like now, taking this undead spirit everywhere to forage for food.

The tributaries of the River Styx that no one cares about, the battlefields that have not yet had time to be cleaned up, and even the fertile territory of the Underworld. These are not worth mentioning in the eyes of the Undead Sovereign, and they are similar to garbage heaps, which is the dining table that Darkmoon relies on to maintain the status of the Undead Sovereign.

I didn't call her Lord of the Flies or anything, but the Knight King was still a virtue on her lips.

For the first time, Darkmoon reveals her pride as a dark elf: "Despicable human, don't try to pull me to your realm, and show that ridiculously vulgar tongue like you. ”

Then he tried to find a sense of superiority and maintain his pitiful self-esteem: "I'm sorry, I forgot that you're not human, just a poor iron lump that doesn't even remember your own name." ”

"Your tongue is at last fluent enough to speak a full lingua franca," the Knight King sneered, "When we used to meet, you would only shout, and of course your tone was very rich. ”

If it weren't for the unintentional, this prince would still be a master of the dirty forest.

Dark Moon's slender eyebrows flew so long that they almost slashed people, and she gritted her teeth and said to Richie, "I just wanted to avoid it back then......"

Li Qixin said why do you have to explain it to me, and I don't know why you want to explain.

"It seems that this Duke of Prell has taught you a lot", the knight king's words turned to Richie, "Of course, it also gave me a lot of feelings, but more questions. ”

It stopped a few dozen meters in front of it, jumped off its mount, and continued to walk, saying in a voice that was a little difficult to match with the figure: "I once took the initiative to contact the Lord of the Dead, hoping that he would find a helper on the main plane who could solve the problem, and I could do my best to help, but the Lord of the End rejected me. ”

Hey!?

Li Qi secretly snorted, compared with the sneaky undead monarch next to him, who picks up garbage for a living, it is obviously more powerful and reliable than the Knight King, but the Lord of the Dead did not cooperate with it, what is that guy thinking?

"I am very confused that the Lord of the Dead has found a spokesperson for a newborn god from the main plane, and has chosen this pointy-eared fly to help. ”

The Knight King finally confided his poisonous tongue, which also made Li Qi equally confused.

Dark Moon couldn't even care about arguing with the Knight King, and said hurriedly: "This Knight King is a dead brain! The Lord of the Dead is looking for it to help you, I'm afraid it will kill you in the first sight! In its words, if you don't pass its test, ...... if you don't pass it."

The Knight King's hand rested on the hilt of the big sword at his waist: "I only experienced your power indirectly before, and I don't understand it very strangely. Now, I can put you to the test. ”

The long sword brush was unsheathed, the Knight King's wrist shook, and the undead aura poured out, splitting a deep ditch dozens of meters long around it, like an invisible giant sword smashed on the ground.

"That's what I said——!"

The dark moon swished away, only her aftermath wafting in the air.

Li Qi swallowed his saliva hard, if I remember correctly, this guy is at the same level as the Giant King, so it is equivalent to a demigod, how can he have any chance?

Fortunately, the legends of the Realm of the Dead are somewhat different from the demigods, and their realm power and law power are all based on the power of death.

Legends have the power of the realm, and demigods have the power of the law. The legends and demigods of the realm of the dead, both in terms of realm and law, are reflected in the control of the number, type, and corresponding abilities of the undead.

The undead monarch is also legendary at the lowest, such as the "pointy-eared fly" of Dark Moon, her soul fire can be instantly converted to any undead controlled by her, which is also the basic ability that any undead monarch has. This means that the Undead Monarch is very difficult to kill in the realm of the dead, unless the soul fire is imprisoned by special means, or all undead in control are eliminated.

As for pooling the Soul Fire under your control and using it as fuel to cast various ultimates, it depends on the different abilities of each monarch.

Since the Knight King said it was a test, it meant that there was still a chance.

Li Qi stubbornly drew his sword, and suddenly remembered the posture of the knight king drawing his sword.

He asked tentatively, "Snow Raven Swordsmanship, are you from the Roland Empire?"

Kramer had taught him this kind of swordsmanship, which was very simple and simple, and was only suitable for use in the battlefield of large armies, and it was incomplete.

On the basis of this swordsmanship, various military swordsmanship was developed, and then the Tuduo military swordsmanship carried it forward, but the traces of the snow crow's swordsmanship have been erased. Kramer also talked about the different gestures of drawing the sword as an anecdote, and then used this set of swordsmanship as an idle trick comparison, and Li Qicai understood something.

The Roland Empire was founded in the West by samurai who served mages after the collapse of the First Age Magic Empire. The empire lasted until the end of the First Age, falling apart in the Epoch Change.

In the glory days of the Roland Empire, the center of the continent of Fein was still in the west. In the Second Age, people from all walks of life went to the East, and East Fein was developed and gradually prospered.

Many of the pioneers who traveled from the Roland Empire to the East were samurai who adhered to the "Roland Doctrine".

Before the light of the gods shone on mortals, the human beings who united to survive the natural disasters brewed the Seven Virtues of the Strong, which was the creed of the Roland Empire at the beginning of its establishment. This creed transcends gods and races and becomes the code of goodness that transcendents must abide by.

The Roland warriors hoped to revive Rolandism, which had been corrupted by power and money, in the new land, and establish a bright and beautiful kingdom in the East.

Legend has it that those samurai were the origin of the modern knights, and one of the samurai was a mortal god, and he was the current god of knights, Shuma.

That was more than 20,000 years ago......

"What a spokesperson for erudition", the Knight King stopped, listening to the voice with great emotion: "There are still people who remember the Roland Empire." ”

I thought that the knight king was only named because of his horseback, but I didn't expect it to really have something to do with the knight.

The Knight King continued, "Don't try to get away with it by asking me where I came from, I can't remember who I am. Maybe it's an emperor, maybe it's an primordial knight, maybe it's a shoulder to shoulder with that shameless knight god Shuma, it's all pointless. ”

Wait, shameless knight god?

The Knight King has a great grudge against the Knight God......

The Knight King continued, "Memories are only the bark that can be peeled off at any time, only the trunk...... No, the roots under the trunk will last forever. ”

"The roots of the tree buried in my soul fire are something that the whole world hates, so I can only rot and stink here. ”

"But that's fine, here, I can live my laws. Here, I can free mortals from their fate and gain eternal freedom. ”

Li Qi was shocked in his heart, how did he feel that this person was actually a comrade?

"So, I will not allow the realm of the dead to be dragged into purgatory! I need companionship, even if you are a bastard with the light I hate the most, I will try to cooperate with you. ”

The Knight King stepped forward again, and the big sword slowly drew a circle: "The premise is that you have enough qualifications." ”

As the words fell, the great sword rose, and then swung down with a force that seemed to be able to split mountains and seas.

At that moment, Li Qi vaguely saw a huge phantom condensed from the fog behind the Knight King, which reminded him of the movement of Cheyenne when he was fighting against Pero in the Storm Islands.

This is indeed a demigod-level existence!

The Lord of the Dead is right not to look for it!

Dark Moon is right, if you want to partner with this guy, you will be killed at the first moment!

Behind Richie is the Crimson Undead, Otto and Mins, who he can avoid, but his comrades who follow him will not.

There is no way to avoid it, Li Qi swings his sword to block, and his divine power flows wildly.

In an instant, the crystal light shone, and even the phantom of a huge flying bird was faintly seen.

The Great Sword of Demonsteel disappeared in the blazing light, and the huge scythe slashed at the invisible force smashed by the Knight King. A visible dividing line seemed to tear the space apart, stretching between the forces of the two sides. The violent vortex that formed churned the dirt, and the ground trembled.

"Sure enough, it's the power of death......"

Time seemed to freeze, and the Knight King was still nagging: "But the power of death is not closely related to the power of death, and the lady who died is just digging a hole." Then the seed falls into the pit, and then the rain waters, and a big tree grows, which cannot be said to be the work of the digger, and the tree does not belong to the digger, huh......"

The Knight King's words stopped abruptly, and behind Li Qi, tens of thousands of crimson soul flames flickered, connecting to Li Qi through a light filament that only a powerful existence could detect, pushing strands of power into his body, so that his scythe was still firmly blocking its blow.

Look carefully at the strange light leaking between the flickering of the soul fire, it is not a light color, there are cold white, some are incandescent white, some are light gold, and there are even turquoise different from dark green.

The various colors of light were mixed into silver-white filaments, which flickered and swirled into Li Qi's body.

The Knight King's tone was not surprised: "It is indeed a bit peculiar, much like the power of those emerging gods during the rise of the gods of the First Age. You, the spokesperson, are also extraordinary enough to withstand such power. ”

It said with some reluctance, "Although you are reluctant, you are indeed qualified to be called the Undead Monarch." ”

The two forces were still holding each other, the Knight King obviously didn't use all his strength, but Li Qi was in a high-load operation that exceeded his own strength countless times.

The power of thirty or forty thousand crimson undead circulated in his soul through the crimson network, and every inch of space in his mind was used to accommodate such a torrent, and every trace of thought was used to control the torrent to turn into a death impact, resisting the power of the Knight King, and he couldn't say a word at all.

It's a new experience, and Richie has never tried to get all the crimson undead to exert power on himself. And this is not the limit, if his soul is stronger and his body is tough enough, he should be able to have more strength.

This kind of power is probably more than legendary.

"Wait......"

Li Qi was thinking vaguely, and the Knight King made another discovery: "Hades Tour, you are still trying to keep the souls of the living, are you not wholeheartedly trying to solve the crisis in the realm of the dead!?"

It sneered, "A living undead monarch, this is never allowed!"

Chasing the end of the sentence, the greatsword was pressed down and collided with the crystal scythe.

The crackling and sonorous sound was like a tide, and Li Qi's magic steel sword and magic steel armor cracked one by one, and the person was also pressed into the ground.

Behind him, tens of thousands of crimson undead were like grass and trees under the wind, falling down one by one. The clumps of broken bones burst and merged into a thick mist, and the soul fire flickered like a starfall canopy.

Alisanne's memories surged in her mind again, and the Knight King seemed to want to cut through this barrier and erode him into an undead spirit with the breath of the undead!

Although I don't know what kind of madness the Knight King is doing, it is true that as Dark Moon said, this guy is simply a dead brain, and he must have some faith in his heart to make him become a real undead monarch.

"That's not good......"

Dark Moon, who was standing on top of the zombie mammoth in the distance, clenched her fists and looked extremely nervous.

"If he has an accident at this time, it will be difficult to do the rest of the matter", she put her hand on the necklace on her chest, as if she was about to pull out the pendant underneath.

There was no next move in her hand, and she hesitated: "Let her think of a way? It's too far away, and she's just a legend, what can she do? Contact the Lord of the End? The Lord of the End just knows that the Knight King is dead-headed, so he doesn't dare to mess with it!"

Li Qi threw himself into the pit with his limbs wide open, the great sword of the Knight King pointed at his back, and the undead aura was condensing into a sharp blade, cutting the barrier that protected Li Qi's soul on the Hades Patrol.

It's time to revere, revere, and worship Little Red Riding Hood!

Li Qi felt that this was the only way to solve the dilemma.

The figure of Little Red Riding Hood floated in my heart, and I wanted to try to hold her up as a red sun, but when I recalled the slender figure and the beautiful face, I couldn't help but think about it.

He thought of the first time she had "ascended" in Conrad's underground temple, and there wasn't much to hide from her......

He thought of the Storm Islands, the aura of her incarnation of the Sun Monkey descending to earth, and the bottomless exposure......

He thought of her Lori state most of the time, and thought of the moment when he couldn't help but hug her after the Storm Islands adventure was over......

He also thought of her cute and stupid appearance of starting to flip through the book when she couldn't talk anymore......

I also thought of the seriousness with which she had spent a lot of effort to prepare him about what Finn's cosmopolitanism should look like......

How can this make him respect, awe, and worship!?

I don't want to die......

The more he thought of Little Red Riding Hood, the more unwilling he became.

He wasn't sure if he could really become an undead, and there was no way to recover after becoming an undead, but he didn't dare or was willing to take that step.

"I don't want to die!

The revolution still needs his leadership, the witches still need his love, and he wants to see the end of Theresia.

And...... I haven't even eaten Aurora yet!

Li Qi's heart was shocked, and the original contact with the network became blurred, but it was suddenly clear at this time. The cycle of power from the Crimson Undead did not collapse with a single blow from the Knight King, but accelerated dramatically.

All kinds of light and color divine power rushed in his heart, and Li Qi suddenly remembered Little Red Riding Hood's previous shocking words, saying that the crimson undead used this network to weave divine power in herself, just like what she did in the Kingdom of God.

"Dry ...... You...... Mother......"

Li Qi raised his arm with difficulty and raised his middle finger to the Knight King who was standing on the edge of the pit.

If Little Red Riding Hood is right, he is now supported by divine grace.

Thick silver-white arcs of lightning struck out from his arm, crushing and slashing his undead aura into a cloud of flying ash.

The warm, soft barrier enveloped the mind again, and Li Qi leapt to his feet, blasting out an even thicker arc of electricity.

Right behind him, the little soul fire of the crimson undead instantly lit up.

The arc of lightning struck the Knight King, blowing up flying debris in the sky, completely devoid of human form. It even penetrated the body, blasting into the undead war horse in the distance, and exploded into a mass of bones.

"Whew...... Call...... That's ...... That's it?"

Li Qi gasped and looked vigilantly at the Knight King who had been chopped to the point where there was not a good bone left.

The silver-white arc did not disappear, it was still wandering and circling, constantly bombarding the ground, and even the incomplete crimson divine power had stirred up a storm in the realm of the dead, and it had a tendency to become more and more intense.

Seeing that the arc was about to extend into the group of skeleton cavalry, one of the skeleton cavalry stretched out his hand. The space swelled, and the earth seemed to disintegrate at that point, and the vast ground between Li Qi and the skeleton cavalry turned into patches of mud, clumps of arcs wrapped in arcs.

The earth instantly turned into something like a glass bead, falling with a clatter, and the arc disappeared.

The skeleton cavalry twisted his body, the dirt on the ground flowed backwards, and the man and horse quickly condensed a layer of heavy armor, exactly like the Knight King just now.

Sure enough, how could he possibly get rid of a demigod at once......

The Knight King rode his horse and walked over slowly, but Li Qi no longer felt the pressure, and the Knight King seemed to have no hostility at this time.

"You're the ...... the Elect"

The Knight King looked at him, and then at the crimson undead behind him, and his tone was very puzzled: "But it doesn't make sense to have the ability of the Undead Monarch again." ”

The elect are equivalent to the incarnation of the gods, and certainly will not accept the undead. But on the face of it, Li Qi, like other undead monarchs, controls these crimson undead and puts them on the elect, which is equivalent to a betrayal of self-reliance, no wonder the Knight King is puzzled.

Li Qi said perfunctorily: "This is ...... You have been in the realm of the dead for too long, and you have lost touch with the times. ”

The Crimson faith is rooted in mortals themselves, and Little Red Riding Hood is merely a manager and weaver, and this secret is not yet time to be revealed.

Li Qi turned his head to look at his subordinates, the power cycle of the Crimson Network had weakened a lot, and the soul fire of the undead had dimmed a lot. Fortunately, the old subordinates of the core have nothing to lose, but there must be many new members whose soul fire has dissipated.

He grinded his teeth and said, "Anyway, I passed your test, right?"

"The change of epochs is really coming", the Knight King muttered, "all kinds of unreasonable things have also appeared. ”

It continued, "Indeed, you have passed my test, and now we can discuss what to do next." ”

Then it looked behind Richie and said, "But it's really necessary to carry such a ...... Do you want to act together?"

Dark Moon was floating from behind, and when she heard this, she quickly flashed behind Li Qi, and said timidly: "Li Qi, you can't leave me, it's clear that I'm the first!"

In terms of strength, there is really no need for this ill-intentioned Empress of the Dark Elves.

But looking at the Knight King again, Li Qi felt that the latter was going to be crazy again, which was much more terrifying than the former.

He said seriously, "We need to unite now, everyone in the realm of the dead...... No, the undead, all need to be united. ”

The Knight King actually nodded: "That's true." ”

It sighed, "The Black Dragon King has purgatory, has become the vanguard of Karuza, and is heading towards the throne. ”

The three of them looked at the sky in the distance at the same time, and the firelight was closer.

The Knight King said, "There are still a lot of suspicions between us, and we don't know each other's true intentions, but we have to kill this guy before we can sit down and talk." ”

Why did you suddenly change the face of sincere unity?

You just had a good talk with me!?

Li Qi's stomach was churning, he wiped his face, nodded and said, "Then let's fight!"

He glanced at the Knight King's back again, and a sincere smile appeared on his face: "Then you don't mind letting me replenish my strength, right?"

The knight king's skeletal face twitched......

In the distance, snow-capped icebergs and a huge bone dragon hovered low altitude. There were orange flames burning in the body cavity of this skull dragon, and the soul fire in the eye sockets was also two blazing red flames.

It spewed out a burst of flame, and the large group of bone dragons in the sky let out a terrible roar, flapping their bone wings at an accelerated pace.

And underground, all kinds of undead who were also burning with flames in the skeletons, including those half-dragons with four legs and dragging their clumsy bodies, also howled at the same time, and the fireworks in their eyes churned violently.

Countless infernal spirits obscured the sky, like a fire on the land of the realm of the dead, gradually approaching the seat of death, the mountain of destruction.
