Chapter 90, the Demon Emperor
After a moment of dizziness, before Latis could open his eyes, a cold and sharp pain had been transmitted to his brain, and Lacese reached out to wipe his neck and felt the blood in his hand.
Damn it!
Latis grinned and covered his throat, and his other hand quickly gathered magical energy, wanting to heal himself, but what he saw after opening his eyes made him pause for a moment.
The dim sky was in tatters, shrouding the barren grey plain, and in the distance were crumbling walls and crumbling tall buildings, and looking at the huge ruins, you can imagine how magnificent these buildings should have been, but now they are only remnants;
The ground beneath his feet was covered with dry bones, half-buried under the dark earth that seemed to be soaked in blood, and among them was tattered swords and armor, and it was not difficult to guess that countless warriors had once sunk in the sand here.
Everything made up a desolate and dead picture, and Ratis didn't know where it was, but he knew that it wasn't the basement of the Rose Manor!
Laceus's brows furrowed after being stunned, and he reluctantly calmed down first, slapped the condensed Finn water on his neck, and repaired the shocking but not too serious skin wound.
After the wound gradually recovered, he thought about it, and was just about to take a step, but an old voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Child, it's better to be cautious in an unfamiliar environment. ”
When?
Shocked, Radis quickly took a few steps back and turned to be on guard.
Before he could see the figure behind him, on the ground that was swept by his body, several dry bones suddenly burst out with dangerous aura and energy, stood up silently from the dirt, and pounced on Latis at a speed that the skeleton should not have.
The speed was too fast, leaving only an afterimage in Latis's eyes, and he didn't even have time to react, seeing that a pair of bony hands were about to grab his face, the person who suddenly appeared behind him raised his hand in time, as if it was a signal, the skeleton's attack stopped instantly, and at this time, the nearest bone claw was no more than an inch away from Radis's eyes.
"I told you to be cautious, right? It's dangerous for you. ”
The figure said lightly, and it was only then that Latis saw the other party's appearance clearly.
This is an unusually old man, with mottled hair and a fluffy beard that drags down to his chest, making it difficult to see his face, the deep wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and forehead like barren ravines all over his face, his face is dull and haggard, like an old man whose days are short, only the vicissitudes revealed in those eyes that are not bright are particularly concerning;
His body was straight and strong, wearing an ancient and shabby robe, with broad shoulders, and he actually had a faint domineering attitude when he stood there.
Why do I have such thoughts? It looks like it's just a sloppy old man with half of his body and bones in the ground?
Latis was a little skeptical that he was delusional, but now was not the time to care about this, he looked at the old man with a little hostility, and asked coldly, "Who are you?
The old man waved his hand, causing the skeleton surrounding Latis to retreat and fall to the ground again, turning into its previous form, before answering his question: "This is my domain space, if you are asking for my name, then ······ Augustine, that's my name. ”
Realm space alone?This kind of thing can't even be done by ordinary transcendent mages, right?
Wait, Augustine?
It seems to be a name from a long time ago, and Laceis must have seen it a few times, and since he had seen it rather than heard it, he must have read a few words from that old book······
Before he could remember, the old man solved his doubts by himself: "······ If you're asking about my identity······ I'm reluctant to mention it, but I can tell you that I'm the last Emperor of the Zelota Empire. ”
His tone was flat with a hint of embarrassment, but Latis's pupils shrank when he heard it, and his face showed a horror that could not be concealed.
"The Demon Emperor - Augustine !!"
How is that possible? Isn't it said that he has already fallen with the fall of the Zelotta Empire? In the record, he should have died under the assassination of the Seven Gods, and his death was the prelude to the fall of the Empire, which was supposed to be the Temple of Death leading the assassination······· Wait, Temple of the Dead... Could it be ·······
Ladison was very wary, thinking that this could not be another ancient conspiracy of the Temple of Death? At the same time, he secretly exclaimed that he was unlucky, he had just come out of the tiger's den and entered the wolf's den!
"I can guess you're going to have this reaction, but in the face of your savior, I hope you'll let your guard down a little bit, kid, you should be able to feel that I have no ill will towards you. ”
The old man, who has undoubtedly been classified as the most evil in the history of the continent for hundreds of years, said leisurely, as if he did not feel strange and minded about Radis's reaction, but had enough patience and even seemed a little kind.
But Lades, who had just suffered betrayal, couldn't let down his guard easily, he still stared at the other party and asked in an unkind tone:
"You interfered with my transfer and dragged me here, what do you want to do?"
"It's true that I brought you here, if I hadn't done this, you might have died under the blade of the Dysprosium of Time just now, and if you weren't transferred here, even if you escaped the deadly blade, you would have been torn apart by the shattered space when you were transferred. You can rest assured, child, I won't do anything to you, I just want to ask you to do something for me. ”
Latiz touched the wound on his neck that had healed suspiciously, and believed his words a little, after all, Brigitte did use the power of the magic sword to hurt his body in the transfer, so think about it carefully, with her strength, it is indeed impossible for him to survive in her hands, after all, he is not arrogant enough to think that his skin can withstand the slash of an extraordinary swordsman.
So······ Is he really my savior?, the legendary Great Devil after the Demon God of Zelota?
"I don't quite understand, what do you want me to do?"
Everything that had happened during this time was too chaotic for him to figure out what the other party was trying to do first, and after thinking about it, he decided to figure out what the other party was trying to do to him - in fact, he couldn't do anything to him if the other party really wanted to do to him now.
The old man, who claimed to be the last emperor of Zelota, sighed, looked at the ruins of cities like the corpses of giant beasts in the distance with a sigh in his eyes, and said slowly:
"Before that, if you don't mind, why don't you listen to me tell me a story, a piece of the imperial past buried by history······"
