Chapter 521: The Beginning of the Curtain
"Sword in the Stone, the legend of King Arthur. I've been British for more than two generations, so I grew up listening to this story. You mean that the Sword in the Stone really exists? Caitlin was in a daze.
"I said it, it's a sword in the lake. The sword in the stone has been broken, and it doesn't help us much. What we really need is the Sword of the Lake, the legendary Sword of Victory and Oath. ”
"Well, what does that have to do with me. Do you think I look like someone who can unify Britain? ”
"Hehe, the so-called sword of victory and oath was just a temporary symbol in that era. The real sword in the lake is a fantasy weapon. A very special fantasy weapon. It's hard to even put into words what is special, and it's crucial to the next steps. It can even be said that it is the core of this plan. So, I need you to get it. ”
"Well, even if you make sense. Where am I going to find this 'sword in the lake'? Go to some lake? ”
"It's really in the lake."
“……”
…………………………..
"This is truly the true Styx Pact. And there is not the slightest pitfall. "In an old castle, an old man with a bony figure and a black robe spoke in a hoarse voice. His figure is very stiff, and the palm that is nearly exposed is a black and dry state. It's like an old root carving. It looks like it's weak.
But that is not the case with those present. It's a ghoul, or the original ghoul. The dark creatures of the ancestor level, with the rich dark power on their bodies, make vampires, werewolves and other dark creatures with flesh and blood can't help but retreat. It's close, and it's even at risk of being infected as a ghoul. It is one of the oldest dark creatures, so many of the participants in the meeting asked him to identify the Styx Pact.
"And then? Let me tell us what you think. What are the ideas for forming a dark alliance. By the way, the old shapeshifter won't be able to come. "Crowley seized the opportunity to start pushing the atmosphere.
"What do you mean you can't come?"
"It means that it will never come."
“……”
This news suddenly made the atmosphere in the entire hall a little dull. Each Ancestor had a near-infinite life. Their race may be hostile to each other. But there is always a friendship between their individuals. After all, they are all immortals, and they always have some common language.
But now, an old friend is gone completely. This couldn't help but make everyone present a little inexplicably uncomfortable.
"I agree to form the Dark Alliance. There are fewer and fewer of my people, and I can't even feel their breath anymore. I really don't want to be the last Lamia. The banshee with a human head and a snake body was the first to speak.
"I agree." A Wendigo snow monster has reconsidered. They are generally less of a race.
"I can join on behalf of my race." The Skinners reconsidered. This dark creature is cruel and tyrannical by nature, and it is quickly the focus of the witchers, so life is not easy. The last year has been devastating. They were also the first races to form a unified alliance.
"Arakney can join. But there isn't much power we can muster. Said a woman with a spider face. They are also a type of banshee, with some spider traits. Preys on lone humans, or animals.
"The Jersey Devils have agreed to join. But we refuse to be mounts for any existence. ”
The Jersey Demon is a dark creature that resembles a horse form. However, he was born with two horns, blood-red eyes, and a pair of bat wings on his back. There are also no hooves under the feet, but claws. They have a high level of intelligence, as well as combat effectiveness. However, because it is in the form of a beast, it is often captured by other high-level dark creatures and used as mounts. After all, if you ignore the dark power on their bodies, these guys are still quite attractive as mounts.
……
Countless dark races have expressed their consent to form a dark alliance. Hundreds of ancestor-level beings, representing their own race, signed their real names on the Styx Contract. And not far beyond the kasbah. Several figures were silently looking at the castle.
"Now is the best chance, why don't we rush in and kill them directly?" A man in a leotard asked. His name is Allen, that is, the famous purple electricity in the dark world. The only speedster outside of Lin Xuan in this world.
"Alan, maybe the results of this period of time have made you feel inflated about your own strength. But I can tell you unequivocally that there are at least six guys in that castle who have the power to restrain you. If you rush in, you will only be sent to death. ”
"But I still have my teammates to support me. And if you make a move, teacher, all this is not a problem at all, right? ”
"It's hard for me to explain to you what happened right now. It was an unimaginable and fatal blow to the human beings living in this world. I can only tell you that these things in front of us are not the existence we have to fight against at all. They are only used for leveling. ”
Lin Xuan took out a map and handed it to Allen.
"It's a map with enchanted spells. Any dark creature who has signed his true name to the Styx Pact. will be monitored by it in real time. Mobilize all the night watchmen to share the information on this. But beware, I'm not asking you to hunt those guys. All you have to do is to make some blocks against them one after another, so as to prevent them from causing world-destroying events. Other than that, don't take the initiative. ”
"Why? Do you know how many casualties they can cause when they join forces? You're killing countless civilians like this, and that's not the way the Night's Watch does. Allen's voice was a little excited, but the next second he couldn't make a sound.
A muffled snort came from Alan's mouth, followed by a sudden feeling of suffocation. Alan only felt that he was suddenly unable to breathe any air. And all of a sudden, the power that I was proud of disappeared. He was like a suffocated ordinary person, falling to the ground in pain, struggling with difficulty.
"When did you start yelling at me? With your super speed? This is the strength I have given you. And I don't remember, the style of the night watchman is dictated by you? Alan, what do you think you're doing? ”
"......" Alan couldn't make a sound. I could only roll in pain. It wasn't until Lin Xuan let go of the shackles of a little magic that he finally took a breath. This was followed by a rapid, deep breath. It took him most of the day to be able to speak slowly.
"I'm sorry, teacher. I didn't mean to question you. ”
"I know you didn't mean to. I'm just reminding you that this is a war, and if it's a war, there will be casualties. As for the more specific reasons, I don't want to explain them today. ”
“……”
At this time, Caitlin finally found the holy lake in Lin Xuan's mouth. It is a small lake located deep in the jungle. If you look closely, you will see that this lake has something quite extraordinary.
Plenty of animals drink and play here. Cheetahs, elk, grizzly bears, and wild foxes are in harmony with each other. The predators live in harmony with their food, which is an eye-opener for Caitlin. And all the animals were not afraid of her, and even took the initiative to come up and play with her. One of the elks, even guiding her to the middle of the lake.
