Chapter 50: First Entry into the Dark City
Art looked in amazement at the tall back of the Skykiller Ember who had turned, his white robe had been dragged to the ground, but there was not a single trace of dust stuck to it. She squatted down www.biquge.info straightened the robe he was dragging on the ground, a little reluctant, "Do you really have to go to him?"
Sky Killer Ash nodded, which was an answer.
Except for the monster that was not human, among the human beings, the only opponent he had ever encountered in his life was Ye Lingxin. It's just that in the eyes of others, people like them are not monsters.
"You can stay here in peace, they will take care of you. After this is over, if I am still alive, I will bring the chestnut with me. β
Art let go of his hand, knowing that he would not be able to keep him no matter what, not to mention that he doesn't remember himself now, even if he used to be stubborn in the face of many things, he couldn't control it.
The figure of the Celestial Ember flickered and disappeared.
The two white-robed guards bowed to Athe, as respectful as they did to Ember himself, and said, "Please!"
AttΓ© walked back and forth into the gate that was barely variegated in white, followed by a ladder paved with snow, equally dazzlingly white. Instead of walking on, Art sat down on the white stone staircase, his head propped up in his hands, and sighed as he looked up at the swirling and intertwined gray air currents.
The two white-robed guards stood silently beside her, neither urging nor reminding. They seem to be born without any feelings, giving people a feeling as cold as snow. Artel looked at them and said, "Go down, you don't have to accompany me, I will wait here for him to come back." β
"Yes!" they did not give any advice, and actually retreated.
The west gate of Dark Night City opens to the west of Deciduous City in the northwest, and as its name suggests, the maple leaves that can be seen everywhere flutter in the wind, like a burning fire.
The city of Fallen Leaves is not large, but it is also prosperous, and generally speaking, as a subordinate city that connects the boundaries of each city to other cities, it will be prosperous no matter how big or small. After all, there is a constant stream of people coming and going every day, and even if it was once just a small village with only a few dozen people, it has gradually developed into one of the important gateways of Dark City.
It's just that at this moment, the outside of this glorious gate seems a little deserted, except for the guards guarding the city and a few intermediate night masters, there are only a dozen people entering and leaving.
Since the war between Night City and Fog City, except for Wind City, the Holy Emperors of other cities have had a rare consensus, and they have unanimously issued an order to prohibit the people of this city from stepping into the realm of Night City and Wind City, and those who violate the order will be punished with death.
When Ye Lingxin and Soranti arrived here, they immediately attracted the attention of the guards. Especially the red-glowing wolf behind them, and the giant blue cat. The heavy armor of the guards made a loud "brush, brush" sound as they ran, and the Night Masters followed unhurriedly, looking at Ye Lingxin and them with unkind faces.
The undead blood wolf went straight to the front, brought it to the guards when they were very close, lifted the soles of their feet and slapped them fiercely, and the ground suddenly collapsed into a large pit in the shape of a wolf's palm print, and those guards fell down with a muffled grunt, the armor on their bodies was not damaged, but the inside of their bodies was already fragmented.
The Night Master was taken aback, and those who had stopped to see the excitement screamed in panic and ran mad into the city. The undead blood wolf roared angrily, and its tremendous force was like an arc-shaped scimitar, cutting off everyone who passed through, and even the tall wall was cut into a deep gap, and the entire city wall collapsed almost simultaneously.
Ye Lingxin smiled bitterly and whispered to Soranti: "I think it wants to atone for the mistakes it made before, and now it may have regarded everyone in this city as enemies." β
Solandi stepped forward, leaned against the neck of the undead blood wolf, and said softly, "Blood wolf, I know you are very upset, but I don't blame you. I also know that you must have been forced to do that at that time, and you don't have to blame yourself. β
The undead blood wolf lowered his head, rubbed his head against her, seemed to have understood her words, shook his head, and continued to walk towards the city gate. Walking through the 50-meter-long city gate, they were "greeted" by dozens of intermediate night masters, and it could be seen that they were actually very nervous, and everyone's expressions were particularly unnatural. Some of them could see what had just happened outside from the castle tower, and that kind of attack was definitely not something they could resist.
But as the guards guarding this border city, even if they were afraid, they had to go up hard, even if they paid with their lives, they couldn't take half a step back. If they die in the fight against their enemies, they may be hailed as the heroes of Nightcity and revered, but if they become deserters, they and their relatives and friends will not escape death.
A trace of scarlet blood flashed in the eyes of the undead blood wolf, and in an instant, several Night Divisions separated their heads, and the blood surged like a pillar, and the scene was terrifying. Startled the Night Divisions into a commotion, and they didn't even dare to take a breath of air.
The undead blood wolf turned his head and glared at Ye Lingxin with a little annoyance, if he hadn't waved out a ray of light to block the blood-colored light it emitted, how many people would be on the ground now?
"Don't be in a hurry. Ye Lingxin looked at the Night Master with an expressionless face, and said, "Obviously, the Night Master didn't bring the news back before, it seems that he may be dead, I need to leave a little people behind to continue this mission, we can't let the enemy die too comfortably, right?" β
Although they don't know their identities, the Night Masters are very afraid of the wolf in front of them, and the invisible attack it just now is simply unavoidable, even if they find their most powerful top Night Master, they are afraid that they will only be helpless. If they had known that the most powerful man in their hearts, Krus, had actually died at the hands of the man in front of them, they would probably be truly frightened.
Even if they were scared at the moment, they still didn't flinch, and even Ye Lingxin and Solandi were secretly convinced. Suddenly, one of them asked, "Which city are you holy magicians?"
Ye Lingxin looked at him with a sneer, his eyes were as if he was looking at a plaything, staring at that person very uncomfortable, and he unconsciously tilted his head, and then he regretted it. In any case, this is the situation of Night City, it is their territory, and his seemingly casual action is actually a kind of admission of defeat. Ye Lingxin then said, "Didn't your Holy Emperor tell you to guard against the people of Fog City before planning to attack Fog City, or do you have great confidence that no one will come to take revenge?"
"The Holy Magician of Fog City?" the Night Masters were talking again, they looked at the two people in front of them and the two Paladins in disbelief, some of them didn't believe it. Besides, Fog City has almost been dispersed, and the powerful sorcerers are almost dead, leaving only the two top fog masters known as the "Fog God" who are now missing, and with just the two of them, it is impossible for them to have the strength to run to Night City to seek revenge. Another Night Master asked, "According to the information we have received, it seems that there are only three top-level sorcerers in Fog City, among which the Holy Emperor Li Yu is dead, his holy knight is not a wolf, and only his two daughters remain. If you want to say that it is a fog master, this girl is quite similar, but you, I don't think you are from Fog City, right?"
"What do you say?" Ye Lingxin's expression was as if he had encountered a super difficult problem, and he rubbed his head while thinking about it, and said: "Before I met this Princess Soranti, I was originally from the Holy Light City, but then I was not from the Holy Light City, and then I think I should be able to be regarded as a person from the Fog City, and the son-in-law is also half a son, right?"
Hearing this, Solandi's face instantly turned red, she didn't expect Ye Lingxin to say such a playful thing to tease herself in this situation. But she was very happy in her heart, with an unconcealed smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes glared at him with feigned anger.
When the Night Masters heard that this girl was really the princess of Fog City, they were shocked, and then they were each happy, they didn't expect that this princess whose whereabouts were unknown would run to Fog City by herself, this is simply a self-defeating net. But Ye Lingxin's next words were like a basin of cold water in an instant, instantly extinguishing the fire in their hearts.
Someone couldn't help but try to ask, "You...... Are you really a top-level Light Master?"
Ye Lingxin shook his head and spit out two words bluntly: "No." β
The man wiped the sweat from his head, but as if he had suddenly thought of something, he continued to ask, "But this wolf behind you...... Hey, this ...... This...... This wolf, where do you seem to have seen it?" His surprise immediately aroused the curiosity of the others, and they couldn't care less about being afraid, and looked at the undead blood wolf one after another. The undead blood wolf was very unhappy with being studied as if it were a specimen by others, and let out a roar of rage again, forcing them straight back. There was no entrainment in its roar, so no one was hurt.
Ye Lingxin smiled, that smile had a demonic evil smile, "Let's put it this way, I was in the Holy Light City before, not a top-level Holy Light Master, but a Divine Light Master, and this wolf, it has a very good name, it's called [Undead Blood Wolf]!"
"What?"
This sentence hit everyone's hearts like a thunderbolt from the sky, and they finally remembered where they had seen this wolf, which was recorded in the ancient mythological books, and the wolf called [Undead Blood Wolf] who guarded the gates of hell was almost exactly the same as the wolf in front of them at this moment.
