Chapter 13: The Demon Soul Part I
The body was 108,000 miles away from being strong and strong, and its scarlet skin was shriveled and lacklustre, and scabred all over the place, and its roughness was comparable to that of the bark of an old tree; The eyes are cloudy, and the light is left, but it is only a little the size of a bean; The horns on his head and the teeth in his mouth were gray, crippled or cracked, twisted and crooked, and a lot of them were loosened and fell off, as if to prove 'aging' more powerfully, and even his back was stiff.
Luo Ling never thought that the first time he saw Barlo Mo, who was known as a demon nobleman, would be such a lonely appearance.
"Your Highness, Agnis sends you the highest respect." The old demon spoke first, and his respectful attitude had reached the point of suspicion.
"Hmm......" Luo Ling replied lukewarmly. He is not one of those legendary hillbillies of the main plane, as a strong man with some memories of senior demons, Luo Ling knows very well which existences cannot be taken lightly, even if its appearance looks worse than that of a beggar.
Not to despise, and not to be afraid. So Luo Ling's expression was calm, his tone was flat, and he asked directly, "Who is the ruler here?" ”
"Once upon a time, Lord Aita, a tireless plane captain."
In Luo Ling's opinion, when they met for the first time, the old Ballow Devil, who called himself Agnes, also performed extraordinary. As for whether it is pampered and not surprised, or self-cooked, hob meat, fearless, or persistent, he still can't figure it out for a while. But Luo Ling noticed the word 'was' in Egnes's reply, so he asked, "What about now?" ”
"Trapped in the Ice Crystal Mausoleum, I don't know if I live or die."
Luo Ling found that he was really related to death and soul-related industries. "Mausoleum?"
"Yes, Your Highness. Aita is a powerful Ice Corpse Witch, and the 'Ice Crystal Queen' was built by her with the 'Nightsong Graveyard' as the core. Nightsong Meadow was once the second largest colony of wild elves in the Abberline world. "Agnis is like a minister in the true sense of the word, who knows everything and has the appearance of answering all questions.
The more obedient Old Barlow Mo was, the more suspicious Luo Ling felt. But he still continued to ask quietly: "What happened?" ”
"There are powerful demon spirits raging in the dungeon, and His Excellency Aita and the elite combat forces have entered to fight, and there are already four 'Shifers'."
'Schiffer' is one of several timekeeping names for demons and the worlds they rule, and one Schiffer is converted to Earth Day, which is about 145 days. Luo Ling roughly calculated, 4 Sifer is about a year and a half, this period of time is not long, not short, does not prove that a powerful ice corpse witch has died, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is in trouble.
Luo Ling stared at Agnis and said, "Give you a chance." Let's be honest. ”
"Every sentence is true, don't dare to deceive Your Highness."
"If that is the case, then what I will give you will be 'protection,' not 'destruction.'" As he spoke, he saw the silver glint in Luo Ling's eyes, and he raised his right hand slightly, and a white light was excited from his fingertips, and instantly submerged into Agnes's forehead.
Agnis felt a burning stinging sensation that was fleeting, and there was no more discomfort. After mobilizing the thin physical magic power for a little sense, he found that the soul fire had been wrapped in a special energy.
"Your Highness, please calm the wrath of thunder. The old slave is sincere, there is no lie, and there is no disrespect. Old Barlow begged bitterly, and his facial features were all worried, and his posture was pitiful.
Luo Ling was not moved by Agnes's miserable appearance. He said calmly: "Fortune and misfortune are self-inflicted. As I said, if you are truly honest, what I have given is 'protection.'" ”
Luo Ling didn't lie, what he used on Agnes was a newly realized method of controlling the original power, Luo Ling called it 'Soul Locking Flame', and another method 'Heart Control Needle', both of which belong to the forbidden method, an alternative shackle, once activated, immediately destroy the life core of the recipient. In its normal state, it is indeed the equivalent of an energy shield.
"Take me to the entrance to the dungeon." Luo Ling's expression was flat, but his wording seemed unrefusable.
"Do as you command!" Agnis smiled more ugly than crying, and the young prince of the abyss in front of him was much deeper and colder than he had imagined.
"It's been a long time since I've seen a creature like this. It's kind of interesting, hehe......" thought silently to Egnes, who was groveling and leading the way.
Luo Ling didn't know that his arrival made Agnes feel like a visitor from the mountains for a long time, and he didn't know what dangers and difficulties awaited him on the road ahead.
The path is rugged, as far as the eye can see, the flowers are red and the grass is green, the ancient trees are towering, and the vines are densely hung, but the only defect is that it is too quiet, the sound of the swishing wind, the chirping of insects, and the chirping of birds...... There is none, and the silence makes people feel unreal about the scenery in front of them, as if everything here is just a phantom presented by a three-dimensional projection.
Luo Ling's sensing power was already working at full strength at this moment, and there were no monsters in the forest with a radius of two kilometers.
"Consular district ......" Luo Ling understood.
Just as there are no animals in the vicinity of a tiger's den, demonic rulers tend to demarcate their own domains, which trespassers see as a provocation to their majesty.
In most cases, the existence of a consular district means that the authority of the ruler has not been lost...... Luo Ling glanced lightly at Agnes, who was leading the way in front of him, and the caution in his heart added a little more.
Agnes bent his back, and his steps seemed to be sluggish, but the speed was not slow, and of course, it was very familiar with the terrain here, and the four of them had no road under their feet, and followed it, but it was like shuttling through the corridors and alleys, one foot deep, one foot in front, a few bends, a few slopes, a few circles, and the sky was wide in front of them.
According to the mountain, a huge limestone building complex appeared in front of Luo Ling's eyes, wild grass grew in the cracks of the stone, vines climbed all over the wall, and the greenery was covered, quiet and deep.
Glancing at Luo Ling, his eyes fell back to Agnes. "I thought I'd see a stone-paved artemuch or a large enough plaza instead of a ruinous palace."
"Your Highness, please listen to the old slave's explanation. You came from this direction, and the old slave saw that you were in a hurry, so he did not dare to delay. The main hall square is on the left-hand side, and what you see now is the entrance to the western side of the Ice Crystal Dungeon. ”
The memory of the demon Himit gave Luo Ling a certain understanding of dimensional ships, figuratively speaking, most dimensional ships are like an aircraft carrier, and the most exciting part of it is not the bridge on the side of the deck, but the many cabins inside the hull and the passages that extend in all directions and crisscross the ship.
The east, west, north, and south entrances lead to a dungeon, which is a common occurrence for plane ships. That being the case, all roads lead to Rome, and the quickest and most direct route to reach the destination, Egnes' reason makes perfect sense.
"Lead the way, go to the main control room." Luo Ling chose to continue to let Agnes 'perform'.
"Alas!" Old Ballow seems to be very practical, or rather, abides by the rules of the demon world: unconditional submission to the strong.
Squeak...... Bang dang! The heavy stone gates of the high walls around the palace seem to have been sealed for a long time, and the noise of opening them is sour, and behind the gates, various buildings come into view.
Luo Ling didn't think that the night song elves in Egnes' mouth had anything to do with the ancient Greeks of the earth; But he must admit that there are many similarities between the architectural style in front of him and the ancient Greek architecture. Luo Ling only glanced at it casually, and saw the Taulik column and the Ionic column, as well as round carving, high relief, and bas-relief, which were commonly used in ancient Greek architecture.
There is no doubt that such architectural features are in line with the aesthetic vision of the earthlings, and it looks artistic, even if it has been abandoned, it still gives people a dignified, dignified, elegant, and vicissitudes of beauty.
As his future home, Luo Ling even felt that it was superfluous to move a stone or a piece of grass here, and the beauty here was like a holy place that had been treated with art.
"I'm late." While pacing inward, Luo Ling glanced around with the corners of his mouth curled. "A year ago, I should have taken this place in my pocket."
"If Your Highness doesn't dislike it, the old slave is very willing to serve your left and right." Egnes, who was accompanying Luo Ling, interjected with a shy face.
Luo Ling glanced at Agnes, who was half a step behind him on his side, and sneered, "I do need help, but what can you do to help me?" ”
"The old slave only knows how to build ships."
In a word, Luo Ling could no longer pretend to be nothing.
"Plane ship?"
"Yes, Your Highness, the old slave participated in the construction of this 'Ice Crystal Queen'." There was a hint of pride in Egnes' demeanor.
Luo Ling nodded, he didn't see many plane ships with his own eyes, but because of Himit's relationship, he still had the ability to appreciate these 'moving islands'. There are several construction methods for plane ships, and the one in front of me is the plane cutting construction method, which is roughly divided into two parts, one is hull shaping, and the other is power core generation.
Looking at the architectural style of the palace complex built on the mountain here, it is not from the hand of the demon clan Egnes, Luo Ling estimated that the situation is indeed as the old Ballomo said, it is the female ice corpse witch named Aita who used the city of wild elves in another world to transform. Then, what this old Barlow Mo knows is likely to be the skills related to the core links such as the ship's power system, if it can help, Luo Ling believes that his can definitely greatly shorten the construction period. Moreover, Luo Ling has a very strong interest in plane ship technology.
