Chapter 55: The City That Never Sleeps (15)
Eren didn't act rashly, and the best thing he knew was to brake in the dark.
For some reason, Grandet didn't make any move, as if he had already left.
Suddenly, in the blurred darkness, Eren saw countless rays of golden light looming. They are erratic, like a round of small golden suns.
In Ellian's sight, these golden lights floating in the darkness began to merge gradually.
From the countless golden lights that can be seen as far as the eye can see, the two slowly merge into each other, forming a more dazzling golden light.
These golden rays are like microorganisms that are eating each other, and the powerful ones will devour the weak, and the two will merge into one and become a new existence.
And in the process, Elian is like a spectator, quietly watching all this.
Eren didn't know if these golden lights were friend or foe, but in his heart, there was a faint voice telling him not to hinder the fusion of these little things.
What's more, the current Elian seems to be pressed by something, and he can't move.
It's a little different from your ultimate goal, but it doesn't matter.
Just when Ai Lian was sitting bored, he suddenly said, "Ai Yue, where are you now?"
The Holy Vessel and the Holy Pact Master can communicate with each other through the contract, and although the distance of the conversation is not long, there should be no problem here.
"Ah, is it Ai Lian?" Hearing Ai Lian's voice, Ai Yue seemed a little excited: "Ai Lian, listen to me, all the gold coins in our room are gone!
Elian stroked her forehead, she shouldn't have an excited expression at this time.
But when he thought that it was Ai Yue, Ai Lian suddenly showed a relieved smile again.
Obviously, what happened on Ai Yue's side has something to do with her side, after all, these gold coins were all won from the city that never sleeps, and if they disappear, only the owner of the city that never sleeps, Grande, is the most suspicious.
Thinking of this, Eren asked again, "Is it? Did those gold coins suddenly disappear out of thin air, or what?"
"Hmm... Ai Yue made a voice of thought, and then it was as if someone around her reminded her, and Ai Yue said with certainty: "It's just disappearing out of thin air!"
"Out of thin air?" said to Elian, muttering to himself, "Sure enough, gold coins aren't a good thing." ”
"What did you say?" Ai Yue didn't hear Ai Lian's whisper, but Ai Lian didn't say much, just told Ai Yue to take care of Naya, and explained the meeting place, and then cut off the heart-to-heart communication.
The reason for cutting it off is also very simple, the golden light that has been in a state of fusion has gradually gathered into a large one.
The golden light, which was originally only the size of a thumb, has now exceeded three meters, and it looks extremely spectacular from a distance.
Eren loosened his neck, and at some point, the thing that suppressed his actions had quietly left.
Bang!
At the moment when Ai Lian stood up, the entire dark space suddenly made a loud noise, accompanied by the sound of "click", the whole space began to crack rapidly, and from those cracked cracks, Ai Lian could feel a cold smell.
Bang - Bang -
As the last piece of shard peeled off, the entire dark space vanished, and Eren reappeared in the city that never sleeps.
However, the city that never sleeps now is no longer the city that never sleeps when you first saw it.
The palatial castle buildings were gone, the graceful guests were gone, the halls, the tables, the coins, everything was gone.
In front of Eren's eyes was a ruined and desolate castle and crows flying in the sky.
A large part of the castle has been abandoned, badly damaged and collapsed, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and many of the surrounding walls are made of bricks, and some of the walls are stained with dried blood.
The sky was full of crows hovering over the castle, but to Elian's surprise, the crows did not make any sound, did not have any life, as if they had already died.
"Ouch!"
Ai Yue appeared in front of Ai Lian with Naya in embarrassment, and it seemed that the two of them did not encounter any danger.
And this castle, except for being a little desolate, does not seem to be in any danger.
Except for the huge monster in front of Ellian's eyes.
The glittering scales clung to the skin, reflecting softly in the moonlight, like a huge gold coin. The slender body brings an extremely oppressive aura.
It's a golden monster in the form of a human.
On the monster's head, a pair of fist-sized eyes bulged outward, staring at the three of them.
"Three unruly guests, I want you to spit out my money with interest!" The monster didn't open its mouth, but the three of them heard it anyway. And how familiar this voice sounds.
Elian recalled for a moment, and said, "Is it Mr. Grande?"
"Oh, who knows, but even the gods wouldn't dare to be so presumptuous in the city that never sleeps. It's the first time in a thousand years that I've received dishonest customers like you who obstruct business!" the monster said, grabbing a boulder beside him, placing it in his hand and tossing it gently, "But it's not bad to move like this once in a while!"
As soon as the words fell, the boulder in the monster's hand smashed towards the three of Ai Lian like flying arrows, and Ai Lian hurriedly pulled Naya and hid on the other side.
Rumble!
The boulder slammed into a corner of the castle with a loud noise.
Alan handed Naya to Ai Yue, then pulled out his Hidden Blade and sped towards the monster's feet. At the moment when he was about to approach the monster, Eren seemed to suddenly disappear, and then suddenly appeared behind the monster.
"Eat me with a sword!" Elian shouted, the Hidden Blade in his hand stabbed straight into the monster's abdomen like a viper.
Qiang –
The Hidden Blade slashed through the monster's abdomen with a piercing spark, and then there was no movement.
"It's so hard!" Elian exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly retreated. However, the monster had already reacted at this moment, and its left arm glowing with golden light slammed towards where Eren was.
Like a yellow bolt of lightning, the blow even tore through the air, making a "hiss" sound.
This time, even if Ai Lian retreated in time, he was shocked by the ensuing fist wind and flew out several meters away.
Boom!
Ailian, who was knocked away by the rubbed fist wind, slammed to the ground and couldn't move.
