9. The Council of the Bloodlines
A bell rang like a signal. The imprints on the eleven chairs emitted a dazzling red light, and then eleven blurred figures condensed, and eleven blurred bodies exuded terrifying aura, and they sat quietly on the chairs, nodding to each other as a greeting.
They were apparently waiting for something, and soon, their waiting people appeared.
Dressed in a luxurious black robe, Ramikis slowly walked out of the door of the room, and with his appearance, the intricate patterns on the original table began to move, and the thorns slowly receded, revealing a strange sign in the center of the table.
The logo looks like a twisted dragon head. But there was a sword and a banner stuck above the dragon's head. Above the flag, is the image of a torn sun. The thorn bush retreated from the table top and wrapped around the legs.
Ramikis glanced indifferently at the eleven people in front of him, and sat on the only vacant seat.
"The Council of the Twelve Princes of the Bloodline, start now. Ramikis said, "So, what is it that makes you interfere with my sleep?"
"What's the matter? You must have felt it, Ramikis, that feeling. An early warning from the soul, a fear from the law. And the trembling of the world's consciousness in this world, an amazing guy came in. But we don't know exactly who, the last time it happened was because the god came in. Storff, whose strong body could be seen even by the mere phantom, said.
"But if the gods come in, the place will react. And, you know, it's impossible for the gods to appear. The polite Modal said, "They are trapped and can only endure eternal loneliness, and the crystallization of the wrath of all the wizards and gods is not such an easy thing to solve. ”
"They deserve it, using wizards to make knives. They should have died at the hands of wizards, they thought there was something unusual about them, but they still came out of the human race, and the stupid guy who thought he was the master of the human race, who couldn't understand the power of the human race. "They're just a bunch of idiots," Storff said. ”
"Maybe they're stupid, but they're strong, Stoff. A respectful cold voice sounded, and Reynard looked at Stouff's figure and said, "We are not qualified to mock the winners, and even if they lose, they will not lose to me, etc." ”
"We are only losers, exiles, degenerates, and unbelievers. Albert said as if reciting a poem: "It is like an epic darkness driven out by light, a hypocritical light." ”
"I said, can you not dwell on the history? dwelling on the things that won't make us start over, what has happened is what has happened. And it's because we lost, don't afford to lose. Jessila said, "And things are not as entangled as they were back then. It's who is it that invades our world. You know what?
"I, how could I know about such a thing. It doesn't matter to me what happens in this world, I just want to finish my own name as soon as possible. "I've wasted too much time in this endless life, and that's not a good thing," Ramikis said. Whoever it is, I hope he can end my life. ”
"You should remember that this so-called eternal life makes the Son become neither human nor demon. This is not some so-called blessing, the so-called immortality. It's a curse, a curse of eternal life, eternal loneliness, eternal pain. Ramikis stared at the dragon head in the middle of the table and said, "Or are you already addicted to this damn so-called high above?"
"The poet Albert, the first knight Renard, the berserker Stouff, the last nobleman Mordal, the battlefield rose Jessica. Ramikis looked at the person in front of him word by word and said, "Also, Ralph the Sage, Conrad the Sparing Dead, Coleman, the Chief General Star, Vincent the Executioner, Babbitt the Sword Emperor, and the Uncrowned Goddess Tania." ”
"And me, Ramikis the dog. ”
"Have you forgotten your name, have you become intoxicated with the so-called Twelve Princes, or is this more suitable thing for you, to be a ruler rather than a rebel?"
"We have sworn to fight for the innocents of the whole world, we have sworn to fight against all the hypocritical light, we have defeated the gods, we have made wizards give in, we have made the world tremble. ”
"But what are you doing now?" asked Ramikis as he stood up, holding his hand on the table and looking at the crowd in front of him, "how many living people do your men bring from the wizard's territory every day for rations, and who of you remembers our oath?"
"Powers have corrupted you, and omnipotent forces have corrupted you. You have forgotten the pain of the fall of the Lord, and you have forgotten the pain of our curse. Are you beginning to appreciate what you've got?"
"I'd rather be destroyed, I'd rather be killed than endure this disgusting feeling. I hate eternal life, we are just mortals, we are just more powerful mortals. Instead of those crawlers who stand tall above us, our oath is to protect the weak, not to eat them. ”
"If you're looking for the so-called Omen of Death, I'm not one of them, even though it's good to be in the past. I prefer to die with glory rather than live in humiliation. I am my lord's loyal dog, from beginning to end. I will fight to the death to protect the dignity of the Black Dragon Banner, and I will fight to the death against the false light. ”
Ramikis slowly recited his oath back then, which was also the meaning of the symbol of this little black dragon.
"I'm just a bunch of warriors, and unintentionally gaining such a lifespan is the limit. It's a pity that I didn't die on the battlefield, but if I could end my life like this, it wouldn't be impossible. Ramikis said with a cold snort.
"But I must warn you, Ramikis. Ralph suddenly raised his head, looked Ramikis in the eye and said, "You can only represent what you mean, and we will only die completely if we all die at the same time." ”
"And all the descendants must die in the same way. Tania said elegantly, her voice cold and sacrosanct.
"It's almost impossible for us to die, no matter who came in. Ralph's illusory hand tapped lightly on the table and said, "Even if we want that relief as much as you do." ”
"If it's convenient, let's have a party next month after a long absence. Albert suggested, "It's been a long time since we've been together, and it's better to explain a lot of things in person." ”
"I'm not going to leave my castle. Ramikis flatly refused.
"Nothing, our meeting place will be at your castle. Albert said, "My men have received something from merchants from the East that can be eaten by the Bloods. ”
"Rest assured, it's not human blood. I know you hate that kind of thing. Albert said as he looked at Ramikis's abrupt face, and the latter snorted coldly.
"And we can call those skeletons and those wild dogs, we haven't talked about it for a long time. I just asked them if they felt that strange power. Ralph said.
"I will not allow that kind of mongrel hound, my castle!" roared Ramikis.
"Then don't let him in, just invite the lich. Ralph said, "Therefore, it is settled, and we will send someone to prepare your castle for you, rest assured, and will not spoil the furnishings of the master." ”
With that, Ralph disappeared into his seat first, and then the ten shadows slowly dissipated.
Ramikis did not leave, but sat upright in his chair and reached out to the sword on the black dragon's head on the table. The thorns on the leg of the table had grown, touching Ramikis's hand, and there was a puff of green smoke and stinging sounds, but Ramikis did not let go and stayed quietly in place.
"Lust, Tin Bucket, Maniac, Dressman, Pure Master, Reader, Medicine Jar, Old Fox, Axe Man, Sword Man, Big Beauty, Rakhi. Ramikis spoke slowly, until at last he sighed softly and lifted his hand from the table in front of him, and turned away. The thorns soon wrapped the table around the table again, and the light in the entire conference room disappeared with it.
