2. The realm of the enigmatic realm
It can only be said that Elvis guessed half right, and that part of the soul of the dark night was indeed taken out by himself, but now it has fallen into the hands of the abyss. The people of the temple were not very united, especially Wei Yuan, who was so ruthless that even the people of the temple did not want to see her.
Wei Yuan lives in the Twilight Forest, this forest is the most gloomy on the continent, perennial miasma, even the trunks and branches are twisted and withered, the sun cannot shine all year round, so there are many strange and brutal creatures, coupled with the obstruction of large swamps, few people can get out safely, and over time, few people come again. The abyss lives in a castle in the center of the forest, surrounded by a huge labyrinth.
No one knows what kind of situation this place is known as the "Mysterious Realm", and how many evil and filthy secrets are hidden here.
Cedric, who was responsible for protecting the soul of the night, also knew the whereabouts of his king's soul at this time, this was the first time he stepped into the realm of mystery, and he never thought that this labyrinth was full of roses, bewitching and crazy red roses, clinging to the castle, as if to devour it cleanly. There is no miasma in the labyrinth, and it is shrouded in sunlight, no wonder it is a vibrant scene, but it is ...... The smell of the flowers was mixed with the sweet smell of rust and the smell of decay, as if something was rotting, and Cedric was a little sick to his stomach, and he had no intention of admiring this strange beauty.
In the distance came a man whom Cedric knew, and it was Pogg who was following the abyss. "Sideric, what are you doing here?" Apparently not welcoming him, the impatience on Pogg's face was too lazy to hide, "You didn't go to prepare for the funeral of His Highness Night, and you still have the heart to come here." Cedric was neither humble nor arrogant, nor did he make a false deal with him, and said straight to the point: "I have come to see His Highness Wei Yuan." Pogg glanced at him, and without saying anything more, led him in.
As soon as he entered the castle, Cedric felt even more weird, obviously there was so much light outside, but there was a thick curtain in the castle, and there was no light through, only the lit candles with a dim light, and in an instant, the dark and cold breath rushed into the bone marrow, and Cedric frowned.
"Cedric, what are you looking for me?" The girl holding the candlestick lifted the layers of curtains, dressed in a black dress, like the outfit of an aristocratic lady hundreds of years ago, her black curly hair hung down like seaweed, because she couldn't get sunlight, her skin was pale, making her green eyes even more permeable, and the whole person was like a ghost in the darkness. Seeing the visitor staring at her, she raised a gentle, bright smile, "What's wrong, Cedric?"
Cedric's brow furrowed even tighter, he knew how hateful this woman was, and His Highness had said before that this woman had the cleanest smile and the dirtiest heart. But he didn't expect that her smile was even clearer than he imagined, with the innocence unique to a little girl, if she didn't know the roots, she would really be deceived. "Your Highness. ”
"Why are you so distant, Cedric, just call me by my name. She sat down on a bench to the side, "Sylvester is dead, you go back and get ready to succeed the next King of the Night." We will be at the same level in the future, so you can call me Victoria. Cedric's face didn't even move a little, he didn't bend around, "Your Highness Wei Yuan, you know what I came for, please see that you and Your Highness are the same King of the Temple, and return the soul of Your Highness." He didn't miss the contempt in her eyes.
Seeing that Victoria didn't speak for a long time, just looked at him with a smile, after a long time, Cedric finally couldn't hold his breath, "Your Highness." ”
"When I saw it today, I realized that Sidrik you have a beautiful face. She avoided answering, her cold fingertips touched his cheek, and there was a kind of banter in her eyes, "It's much better to follow me than you are to follow Sylvester, isn't it?" Cedric took a few steps back, his face was pale, and he almost couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, the atmosphere was tense and sword-drawn, Bog watched from afar, and there was no doubt that he would draw his sword and split his own highness in the next second.
"Your Highness, please respect yourself. In the end, I swallowed that breath hard.
Listening to the sound of him gritting his teeth, Victoria felt very bored, and said: "What does your master's soul have to do with me? She waved her hand, "If this is what you are doing today, then let Pog send you out, I have a headache now, and I am not well treated, you forgive me." Cedric knew she was losing her patience, but she didn't move a single step.
"Even if I take it, what can you do with me, and what can you do with me if I don't?" Victoria's smile softened, "Don't be stupid, Sidric. This is already a clear warning, and if he doesn't know the height of the sky, then she doesn't mind giving him a ride. Cedric breathed a little, unwilling but helpless, turned his head and left, without even saying hello.
As one of the three kings, Victoria relied on her wisdom and proximity, and if she fought, she would never be able to resist the three moves under her own hands, but this woman was too insidious to be guarded against.
"Tsk, that's rude. She carelessly stirred the branches and leaves of the roses in the vase, and her fingertips were cut by sharp wooden thorns as if she didn't feel them, but said, "Look at these insatiable bad fellows, whose appetites are growing greater, and have forgotten who their masters are." She kneaded the petals and smiled brightly.
Bog leaned over, replaced the rotten bouquet, and asked, "What does Your Highness want to do with it?"
"Hmm...... My garden seems to have not been fertilized in a long time. She yawned and lay down, "By the way, if Lucifer comes back, remember to tell me." ”
A thin blanket was placed over her, and Pogue stretched out his hand to pull it, and when he was done, he closed the door and left, and the room fell silent again, except for the sound of slow breathing, the dim light, and the warmth of her body, and it was not long before Victoria fell into a deep sleep.
The roses outside the castle are pampered by the sun, and their posture is even more enchanting, and this dream-like beautiful scenery is another purgatory underneath the ground. Such pleasing colors are nourished by blood, and in the soil where they are rooted, there are immeasurable corpses, and it is precisely because of these flesh and blood that they grow so vigorously.
This castle stands on layers of bones, and what are the people in the castle like?
