Chapter 287: The Black Scepter of the Death King
Three nights ago, at the entrance to a ruin somewhere in the Mirage Desert, Moriarty, the man in silver mask, with two of his retinue, Jack the Ripper and Medea the Witch, stopped. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This is where we are going. ”
Medea asked, questioning.
"Not bad. Moriarty sneered.
"Where is it?" Medea asked.
"The Tomb of the Dead King. The premise is that after the fall of the tyrant, the few people who still owe his allegiance to him secretly built it for him. Moriarty took the lead into the ruins, and headed down the narrow staircase that went down the ground. Jack and Medea followed.
The passage was so narrow that the three of them could only line up in one row. And it is impermeable, and after a little step, Moriarty has to release the magic of lighting. And with the appearance of the light source, the murals on both sides of the passage are also revealed.
There are a few at the entrance, but they have been eroded so much that you can't see anything. These are different inside, preserved intact and clearly recognizable.
Killings, executions, blood, living sacrifices, and so on can't help but feel creepy.
"Why is this all this stuff here!" Medea asked after looking at many of the frescoes, her voice full of disgust.
"Didn't I say that. This is the tomb of the Dead King. Moriarty replied, "Of course, the deeds of the Dead King should be recorded. ”
"The Dead King is the legendary tyrant who once ruled this desert in the system. Is that what he did?" Medea questioned.
"Killing excessively and brutally is his work. Moriarty smirked.
Listen, Medea shrugged.
"Bad taste. ”
"You're no better. Jack sneered.
"Yo, you're not dumb. Medea replied.
However, Jack was silent again. So, she could only turn her attention to Moriarty again.
"By the way, you haven't told us what you're doing here?"
"Witness, the change of the throne. ”
"You're saying that a new King of the Dead will be born here?
"I like to watch plays, but I don't like acting. Of course, it's not you. but a more suitable person. He's the player for our next game, don't you want to meet him?"
"Hmph. Medea sneered, not negative.
The three of them marched forward in silence, and after a long walk, they finally reached the end.
"It's here. As he spoke, Moriarty stepped into a large space. Following him, Jack and Medea also walked in. It looked like a ruined palace, with a ruined throne at the end of which a man sat upright.
A young man, dressed in black armor, was covered in black energy, holding a black staff in his right hand, and at the top was a skull holding a skull in his hand.
Looking at the young man, Moriarty took a few steps forward and said, "How about my gift, the 'Black Staff of the Dead King'?" ”
"It was great. "You're right, Moriarty, it's worth the three years I've been waiting for. I've absorbed the essence of the Death King's stay here, and I've got his scepter. I am the new Death King, and I will command the Death King's army to regain control of this desert and then the whole world. Eventually, everyone will understand that my father is right!ahahahaha!"
"Then I wish you success. ”
With that, Moriarty turned and returned to the passage with two of his followers unobtrusively to the sound of Rausis' wild laughter. They returned the same way, and after about a certain amount of time, they came back to the desert.
"What do you think of him?" asked Moriarty as he stepped out of the ruins. He gave them plenty of time to think.
Even so, Jack still doesn't like to speak. Luckily, there's Medea here.
"Except for the second time in the speech, I didn't feel anything. But......" she looked back at the ruins, "is there really an essence left by the Dead King here?"
"If you stay here for three years and listen to me whisper day and night, you can feel that there is. ”
"It's a lot more interesting. Medea laughed.
"yes. It's always fun to put a madman in his hands. ”
"Strength, the staff?"
"Of course. The Death King Essence is fake, but the Curse Item is real. And the 'Black Rod of the Dead King' is one of the best. ”
Moriarty laughed again.
"Over there, over there, Arrealis!"
In the desert near the fruit forest, the young heroes of the Eden Village hunting team are hunting a fiery red rabbit.
This "desert blood rabbit" is a rare delicacy, and it is the most delicious only when it is freshly slaughtered. Therefore, they did not want to kill it by shooting it with a bow and arrow or throwing a knife, but to try to capture it alive.
In this way, it is inevitable to suffer some hardships. This rabbit is twice as agile as the average small animal, and it is really difficult to pounce. After tossing for a while, the young people were all sweating profusely, and there was a lot of sand on their bodies.
However, the blood rabbit was tired enough. And with that, the opportunity will follow.
"I'll see where you're going!"
Feeling that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, Arreas used the skill he had learned from the nobles, Charge, and pounced straight at the Blood Rabbit, pinning it to the ground.
"Got it!" he lifted the guy up with his rabbit ears.
Seeing this, the young hunters gathered one by one with a smile on their faces.
"He is worthy of being the son of Uncle Ayilaid!"
"Of course! Go back tonight and let my mom make a pot of chowder with this guy, and everyone will have a share!"
"Great!"
"But, with such a rabbit, is it enough for so many of us?"
"Gee, you don't know. This blood rabbit** will get several times more meat than you see in the future, not only is it enough, but it is also full! This is also a gift from the gods!"
"Yes, long live the gods!"
"Hooray!"
"Hooray!"
After a few young men were happy for a while, they finally remembered that they were tired, so they put the rabbit in a cage, and then ran together to the sunny side of the sand dune and lay down comfortably.
After staying like this for a while, Arreas suddenly sat up and said, "Hey, you say, can this rabbit be pickled?" ”
"Pickled?" The young man who was nearby sat up, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a meaningful smile, "I said you, didn't you plan to send it to Barrett!"
"Forget it!" cried the other teenager, "it's so far away, you can't wait for it to be pickled." Besides, this rabbit may be a rare delicacy for us, but it is difficult to say about Barrett. ”
"Yes. The princess is very different from us now, not to mention going to the big city, but also becoming a famous adventurer, must eat and sleep well every day, in short, everything is good. Arreas, I advise you to stop this thought sooner. ”
"That's right. It's been three years, and maybe people even have children. ”
"Impossible!" Arreas exclaimed nervously, "Barrett didn't mention it in the letter. ”
"That's right. I remember you didn't let her pursue that nobleman in the first place. Why does it sound like you regret it now?"
"I ...... You don't understand that. Monses understood. yes, Monses. Arreas called out and received no response, so he turned his head to look for it, and found the other man standing motionless on the sand dunes.
So he got up and ran up.
"I said, Monses, why don't you reply!" said Arreas as he stood beside his companion, and he also glanced into the distance, and his face changed dramatically.
Black shadows crept up from behind the sand ridges in the distance, a huge army of monsters. This monster seems to be a humanized black sand fox wolf, wielding all kinds of weapons.
"Why do they ...... They...... Anubis!" Arreas said in astonishment.
"Whew!"
At this moment, the head wolf let out a long howl and swung the two-headed moon blade halberd in his hand forward. Immediately, ten thousand wolves galloped, and a piece of black pressure rushed over like a tide.
