Chapter 164: Change
Following in the footsteps of the Ming Emperor, Salian finally stepped into the most important place in the Asuka Palace, the residence of Emperor Chongde, and the final decisive moment came, along the way, the Rakshasa statues standing on both sides of the dark corridor, turning their fierce eyes like living creatures towards Salian, but he ignored all these false things.
After passing through this long corridor, the beautiful royal gardens suddenly opened up in front of you. Under a huge cherry blossom tree with pink petals floating in the wind, two nobles dressed in court sashes are happily playing Double Six, a popular gambling game in the Far Eastern Islands. And the beautiful Empress Teng Jingzi played the jade flute not far away to cheer the two of them.
He walked over to the nobleman in the white belt and whispered a few words to him, after which he put down the dice in his hand, looked at Salian carefully, and then said in a majestic voice.
"I heard that you are from the distant West, and the affairs of our country have nothing to do with you, so why do you want to be my enemy?!"
It turned out that this white-clothed noble son who seemed to be weak was the legendary Emperor Chongde, the biggest evil spirit in the royal family of the Far Eastern Islands. Salian replied without fear.
"Hehe, Your Majesty doesn't need to know why the minister is like this, just need to understand that the minister will definitely stop the unrealistic ambition in everyone's hearts, hahahaha!"
"Your Majesty, let the ministers Gion Xingfang kill his sharp spirit, and dedicate his head to Your Majesty!"
The man who had just played against Emperor Chongde stood up and walked down the steps, and Salian only noticed him at this time, and the triumphant look on the face of the renegade god made Salian feel very disgusted.
Emperor Chongde seemed very pleased, and he nodded slightly at Gion Xingfang.
"Oh, even if the minister in Gion has the intention to kill the enemy, then everything is entrusted to you, and I must be able to sit back and relax!"
Sally thought to himself that someone would accept an official position from a dead man. Since the rebellious god had already fallen to the Empowerment Emperor and rebelled against the Emperor Houtian for him, he had now taken refuge in Emperor Chongde here. Sure enough, this capricious Gion building house is also useless.
"Then let me put on a good show! Boy, look at the tricks!"
Although Gion Xingbo is the god of the gods, Salian once heard Katsuno Phantama, who was familiar with the relevant personnel, say that this person practiced a combination of local Shinto, witchcraft and Eastern Buddhism, which is known as the practice of the "outer way". You can use a variety of weird spells to cast spells on your enemies. The ghost gate spell he was using now was a spell that could drastically reduce the body's strength and spirit.
It's just that he has met a control-type horror knight who is the best at dealing with spells, and he is a king knight who is far stronger than him. It's a pity that he didn't know until he died.
"Well, don't you feel well!" Gion's Kobo tried to see the painful expression on Salian's face, but he didn't get his way.
"Oh, shameful traitor, your spells can't hurt me, they don't hurt! You shameful traitor, is there only these indiscriminate methods?
"You!you!you!look at my Prajna Strength!Inside the Ghost Gate!Tengu Fire!Weakening Spell!" The fallen god blushed and frantically unleashed a negative spell on Salian.
"I've completely seen through it, you're just a little trick, it's not worth mentioning at all, there's no point in confrontation, you can die!"
As he spoke, Salian suddenly disappeared under the frightened gaze of Gion Kobo, and when he reappeared behind this person, he easily pierced the protective barrier with the three sharp claws on the hook shield in his left hand and cut off the god lord's waist. Because the internal organs scattered from the hole in the upper body were hung on the hook shield, Gion Kobo's head and torso were dangling in Salian's hands.
This knight from afar from the Western Continent threw half of his body at the feet of Emperor Chongde with a strong throw. And smiled and bowed.
"Bold fanatics, so rude in front of the emperor!"
Emperor Ming shouted at Salian, but at this moment, Emperor Chongde is still as stable as Mount Tai.
"I'm sorry, the minister comes from a remote mountain village and lacks education. Just now, Lord Gion Kobo wanted to take off the head of the minister and give it to the emperor, but unfortunately he couldn't do it, so he had to pay tribute to the head of Lord Gion Kobo. Hahahaha!"
Emperor Chongde waved his hand, unimpressed.
"That's it, as long as you take refuge in me, I will immediately crown you as the general of Zhengyi, how about it!"
"Hehe, it's not too late to seal it when you're all gone!"
In response to such disrespect to Salian, Ming Yuqian took a step forward and said.
"Come on, give it to me!"
Salian felt that the air around him was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood, but he couldn't see anything, because he didn't have the ability to see the eyes of the heart, so he couldn't directly see the opponents hiding around.
He had already learned from what Sakura had just said that among the enemies there were opponents who could completely shield their aura and appearance. Fortunately, not long ago, when he was still at the Auguste Academy, he talked to Sebastian about how to deal with opponents who have special abilities such as optical stealth or thermal and electromagnetic stealth. There are many such strange people in the Western Continent.
At this time, Salian was not flustered, he calmly expanded his terrifying secret technique out of his body, controlling the changes in the surrounding environment. And also used spatial sensing magic to build a twenty-square-meter field.
Since Salian's attainments in space-time magic are only at the level of a mage, the search range is very small. Despite this, no matter what kind of stealth means, as long as it enters the double detection range of Salian, there will be nothing to hide. Because it detects the vibration waves generated by the movement of an object in the air.
"Oh, I see. ”
The purple glow in Salian's eyes wandered, and he finally caught some traces.
He loosened the hook shield from his arm and manipulated a wire made of strong composite materials to control it through a terrifying arcane technique, the so-called "Short-Range Floating Weapon System", designed to deal with fast targets that were not easy to capture. Salian used to be used in the mountains of the Zermatt peak in the southern Mars Mountains of Vienria. It was the time he met the half-blood white dragon Eknos, but at that time, Salian's own hook shield was favored by Miss Garona, the "Yobala of the South", and finally gave it to this proud girl.
And now the new hook shield in Salian's hand, which is based on the ancient Hoffman shield, naturally inherits the original existing ability, and also comes with the experience of using it after many battles experienced by Salian himself, which can be said to be a higher-level existence.
A combination of terrifying arcane techniques and a certain amount of spatial magic allows Salian to roughly determine the range of his opponent, like the tentacles of insects, while the "Short-Range Floating Weapon System" is used to test prey. Seeing the hook shield speeding towards the suspicious place, the sharp teeth at the tip seemed to touch something, Salian immediately grabbed it with secret techniques, and a stream of blood gushed out of the void.
"Ahh
A short, sturdy monster slowly emerged, a distinct tear in its shoulder, oozing blood. His face twisted and deformed in pain, and he lunged at Salian with a dagger in his hand.
"You don't need to know who I am, but I'm very interested in your body, and if I hadn't been prepared, I wouldn't have found you. ”
Without waiting for the monster to react, Salian choked all its joints with a terrifying mystery, only to hear a few crisp noises. The guy slumped to the ground like mud. But Salian didn't destroy its vocal organs, so it was still able to make a ghost-weeping sound.
"Don't kill me, sir!"
"Hehe, okay, I'll spare your life, but I have something to ask you later!"
The rest of the monsters were perhaps frightened by the screams of their companions, and Salian felt no movement now.
And Emperor Chongde and his two concubines, who had been watching for a long time on the steps, were also surprised at this moment, because these monsters were their last hole cards, and the remaining large number of evil spirits and resentful spirits were too weak in front of Salion.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Salian immediately said.
"Alright, Your Majesty, we should be able to talk about the conditions, right?!"
Emperor Chongde did not answer, but shouted inwardly from the Ming Emperor who was standing on the side.
"Hmph, you're smart, okay, let's talk. ”
Ming Yuqian clapped his hands lightly, and four bronze pillars suddenly appeared in the background of the wind and snow behind them. Sure enough, the conditions appeared, and the bronze pillars were tied to Xiao Hitomi, Zhezi, Zhixian Gate and Guanglu Inner Attendant, and they all seemed to be asleep. But to Salian's great disappointment, although the four beauties posed sultryly, there were neither naked nor strange creatures surrounding them, which could not feast Salian's eyes.
"Now we can talk, the safety of the hostages can be assured, all we need is your allegiance, with a capable subordinate like you, the losses just now are negligible. Ming Yuqian continued.
"Thank you Your Highness for your appreciation, but it's a pity that the good feelings choose the wood to live in, and the so-called court of Emperor Chongde is absolutely hopeless. Salian was unmoved.
Just when the two sides were about to reach a stalemate, Empress Teng Jingzi, who had not said a word since just now and was just playing music, walked up to Emperor Chongde, handed him the jade flute, and continued.
"Saint, this flute was given by His Majesty when the two concubines and sisters married into the palace, and now a hundred years have passed in a flash, and all kinds of concubines are still vividly remembered at that time. ”
"What's the matter? Shizuko, what I'm doing now is to put your sisters back in charge of the Middle Palace. ”
"Your Majesty, it is enough for my sister to always be by His Majesty's side, and it doesn't matter if she can go back to the inside, or what her status is. ”
Why did Empress Teng Jingzi suddenly have such a change? Hearing this, Sally was puzzled.
