Chapter 287 entered the Demon Capital
The lord of the castle agreed to my request, but at the same time made me swear that everything was my own and not his own.
I understand what the city lord means, if something happens to me on this trip, I don't want to affect the city of time and space.
Of course, I also know that there is a chance that this trip will be killed, and with my own strength, let alone obtaining a piece of flesh and blood from the Great Demon King, I am afraid it will be difficult to get close to him.
But you can't back down because of difficulties, for the sake of Princess Hongteng, even if she dies, she will die a well-deserved death, after all, I owe her a life.
I went back to the room and cleaned up my things, I was about to leave, but His Royal Highness Zichen walked in, he was injured internally, why did he still come to me?
"His Highness Ziji." I said hello first.
"You're going to the Demon Capital?" His Royal Highness Zichen asked softly, obviously not having much strength.
"Yes, what advice?" I turned to look at him, but he sneered and said, "Do you know if you have gone this time and never returned?" ”
"How do you know if you don't try it? For the sake of Princess Red Vine, even if I lose my life, I will admit it. "I'm righteous.
"Oh? Is it? What about the person you love your heart? Don't tell me you're doing this because you're in love with Red Vine! His Royal Highness Zichen said and coughed lightly.
"You don't have to worry about these things, let's go back and recuperate." He touched the pain in my heart, yes, I'm dead, what should Yan Ruoxian do? Can Xiao Jiu and An Bei protect her?
After all, there must be a lot of people who covet the nuclear power of time and space, and they all want to get her the only key, but I can't protect her by her side, and suddenly, I feel that my steps are very heavy.
"Wen Ling, don't be stupid, the city lord deliberately asked you to die." His Highness continued.
I was stunned for a moment, and looked back at him, what did he mean by that?
"If you go here, you will definitely die, and then the city lord will tell the world that you are jealous of the prince of the demon capital and you are competing for the princess of the red vine and go to take revenge, and then take the opportunity to reconcile with the demon capital, and then use the red vine princess's hatred of the demon capital, let her pretend to marry the prince of the demon capital, and go to the demon capital to become the internal response of the city of time and space, when the time is ripe, the inside and the outside should be combined, and the magic capital will become a bag in one fell swoop!" His Royal Highness Zichen analyzed.
I frowned a little incredulously, it seems that what His Royal Highness Zichen said is not unreasonable, could it be that the city lord really intends to do so?
"Your Highness Ziji, don't speculate on the city lord's thoughts, even if this is the case, since I have already agreed to go, I will not go back on my word." I decided to give it a try anyway.
"Wen Ling, you are really a fool, you know that you still have to go to death, okay, then I'll sit back and watch a good show!" His Royal Highness Zichen snorted coldly, and left my dormitory with a flick of his long sleeves.
My heart was in turmoil, but I didn't slow down at all, the city lord is a person who has achieved great things, sacrificing me alone can achieve his great cause of unifying time and space, and in this way, the poison on Princess Hongteng can also be cured, it is indeed the best of both worlds.
Thinking that I have fought for him for so many years, in the end I am just a pawn at his mercy, and I feel a little melancholy and confused.
But after thinking about it, did the city lord force me to do anything, everything was of my own volition, so how could I blame him?
It seems that I am narrow-minded, after all, everyone has selfish intentions, and I should be able to understand the bitterness of the city lord.
Before leaving, I went to see Princess Red Vine again, she was still sleeping peacefully, and the Medicine King was also here, and he said that Princess Red Vine would not wake up for a long time, so I could go with peace of mind.
He also gave me a golden silk armor that was invulnerable, and after watching me put it on, he said with peace of mind: "Put it on, at least you won't be affected by the dryness of the magic capital, and you can also put this away." ”
The medicine king said and took out an inconspicuous paper bag to me, and whispered: "This is the poison powder I have developed with great concentration, even if I inhale a little, it will be poisoned, presumably no one can solve the demon capital, and then we can exchange antidotes, we must let the demon king be poisoned, otherwise other people's lives, I am afraid that he will not care." ”
"Thank you, Medicine King!" I put away the paper packet with the poisoned powder.
"I haven't dealt with the Demon Capital for many years, I remember when I was younger......" The Medicine King began to sigh and reminisce again.
This time I didn't interrupt him, but walked slowly out with his pace, and I felt like I was listening to it less than once, but more intimately.
I knew that the Medicine King was telling me to be careful in everything, and he was still not at ease with me, and finally, we walked out of the courtyard of the Red Vine Princess, and he stopped and whispered in my ear: "It's really not good, just retreat in the face of difficulties, or save your life!" ”
"Thank you, Medicine King!" I know he's well-intentioned.
The Medicine King opened his mouth, as if he had something else to say, but he shook his head and sighed, waved his hand at me, and signaled that I could go.
I respectfully bow to him, not only to thank him for saving my life, but also to thank him for his reluctance and concern for me in the end.
After leaving the Medicine King, I came to the main hall, and the city lord walked down from the throne, was very affectionate to me, put his right hand on my shoulder and said: "I think about it, it's really inappropriate for you to go like this, why don't we plan it, you go as the messenger of our space-time city, so that you have a better chance of getting closer to the Great Demon King!" ”
"Thank you, City Lord!" Indeed, I'm worried about how to get into the Demon Capital!
"I'll send you a few followers, and if you need anything, just ask." The city lord said very generously.
"No, I'll leave now." I don't want to waste time.
"Okay, Wen Ling, you remember, if the mission fails, you must not be able to implicate the city of time and space, I know this is very unfair to you, but everything is out of helplessness, I hope you can understand." The city lord patted me on the shoulder and said.
"Wen Ling understands." I didn't want to say anything more, so I set off with a few entourages.
My body is not in the best state, so trespassing in the magic capital, everywhere is dangerous, and I have to be buried with these entourages, I can't bear it.
But as a messenger, if there is no one around, it is really inappropriate, and I can only blame them for their bad fate, I sighed and went straight to the magic capital.
Coming to the entrance of the magic capital, I observed from a distance, the entrance of the magic capital was covered with black fog, and I couldn't see the reality clearly, the entrance gate of our space-time city was very simple in comparison, it was a transparent door like a calm water, and no one guarded it, because people from the outside world were only three meters away from the entrance, their skin would burn and hurt, and if they continued to get closer, their skin would ulcerate all over their bodies until they died in the bones.
I came to the entrance with a few retinues, stood three meters away, and shouted loudly and respectfully: "We are the return envoys of the city of time and space, but who is there?" ”
Soon, someone appeared at the entrance gate, looked at us and said, "Someone has already gone to inform the Demon King, you stand still and don't move, if you violate the mechanism of our Demon Capital and lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding a few messengers!" ”
I squinted slightly at the gatekeeper, who was ugly but arrogant, and I didn't expect that even a small gatekeeper would be so unsightly, so I could imagine what their great demon king would look like.
After a while, the black mist at the entrance separated the two sides, and someone led the way, and we slowly entered the magic capital!
An indescribable feeling, the whole demon capital is shrouded in black fog, there is a sense of mystery, but also depressing, the passers-by I occasionally see, are all looking like they will pounce on you at any time and strangle you, and even we see a few blood-eating zombies wandering, which reminds me of the blood-eating zombie owner who never knows the appearance, should it have anything to do with the demon capital?
I don't know if it's an illusion, but from the moment I entered the gate of the Demon Capital just now, I felt that everyone looked at me very strangely, and some people even showed expressions of regret, as if they had predicted that something would happen to me.
"The people in Time and Space City are really thin and tender, and they want to take a bite when they look at it!"
"This is the guest of the Demon King, we can't mess with it!"
"Don't be in a hurry, sooner or later, they will fall into our mouths!"
The few followers who followed me seemed to be frightened, and it seemed that the Demon King's dismount had a certain effect.
"A few messengers, the Demon King's Palace has arrived."
I looked up, the Demon King's Palace looked much more magnificent than the City Lord's Hall from the outside, and after walking in, it was also all kinds of luxury, showing the true colors of the nobility everywhere, but with a lifeless atmosphere, which made people feel depressed.
Entering the main hall, on both sides were two rows of naked strong men, showing strong muscles, all of them looked very scary, and they were both holding axes in their hands, as if they had entered the ghost gate.
Walking further, the field of vision is broader, but it has changed the depressing scene of black fog before, but the fragrance of flowers and flowers seems to have entered a fairyland.
I even suspect that this is a virtual space, and when I look back, a few of my followers around me are gone, and the people who lead the way are gone, and I am the only one left in this paradise world!
I walked slowly forward, observing everything around me, a few phoenix birds flying by with low chirps, and under my feet were patches of red wildflowers, and the breeze was blowing, but it was like a sea of flowers.
The sky is as blue as the sea, closely connected to the milky way-like waterfall in the distance, and a gorgeous rainbow suddenly appeared next to it, and the phoenix birds just now flew towards that side.
Not far away, there are a few towering trees, I can't name them, but they look very good, and they are full of white flowers, and from time to time petals fall down.
When I got closer, I saw that there was a simple and unique tree house on one of the trees, and there was an animal resembling a white tiger lying on the trunk next to the tree house, staring at me.
This should be a divine beast, with a body about two meters long, covered in snow-white, if it weren't for two imposing eyes like copper bells, it would be difficult to spot it.
I stopped and stopped looking up at it, this kind of thing like a divine beast should not easily provoke their fighting spirit, otherwise it will be very troublesome to entangle.
No matter what place it is, there must be people living there, I didn't expect that there would be someone so elegant in a place like the Demon Capital, since the Demon King indulged him so much, it can be seen that his status should be very high.
I sat down cross-legged, waiting for the man who invited me to come to me, and instead of trying to find him, I would wait until he had lost his patience and showed up.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for me to feel a different breath, someone was coming!
