Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Secrets of the Holy City
"More than 1,900 years ago, before I was born and my father was only a teenager, my family was a new aristocratic family, because my grandfather had the privilege of being a royal bodyguard, serving as an errand boy in the royal palace, guarding King Akon, the pinnacle of power in the empire. The Troll Lord Squill took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, and then, with a heavy heart, began to tell the story of what happened in the capital of the Troll Empire.
"At that time, the scene in the holy city of Atagaon was exactly the same as what you just guessed," Skaul raised his eyes to look at Wang Xu sitting on the Taishi's chair, his eyes were filled with deep admiration, and after shaking his head slightly, Skoll frowned slightly and continued to narrate: "At that time, in the Holy City, whether it was a nobleman or a commoner, everyone forgot the humiliation of the successive defeats of the imperial army to the elves in those ten years, and everyone lost themselves in extravagant pleasures. ”
"We all know this, don't repeat it, hurry up and tell me the secret of the troll clan that you want to talk about," Nilou, who had a crisp personality, was already a little impatient, and she gently raised her chin towards Scowl, urging him, "What happened at that time, in Atagan?"
"Heh, heh......" Listening to Nilou's urging words, Squill smiled coldly, glanced at her, and then, looking at Wang Xu, sarcastically: "Is she your woman, why is she so big and small, you didn't speak, this woman actually interjected!"
"Hmm!" Hearing Skoll's sneer at herself, Nilou immediately snorted coldly and stood up angrily, her eyebrows upside down, her eyes narrowed, and her mouth pursed, but she didn't move, obviously, she was already trying to control her emotions, but after less than thirty seconds, she couldn't control it.
I saw that under Skaul's feet, the grass that had grown out of the cracks in the bluestone, only ten centimeters high, suddenly grew like crazy, and then, they grew to the height of more than a person, and grew blade-like blades, and then, the countless sharp blades that flashed with cold light, accompanied by a chilling sound of breaking the sky, slashed at Skoll sitting on a bluestone protruding from the ground at the same time.
The speed at which the blades were cut was too fast, even if it was Skaul in his heyday, it was impossible for him to dodge the attacks of so many blades, not to mention that now he had been abolished by Wang Xu and his martial arts skills had been abolished, and he was about to be hacked to death by the blades.
It was too late, it was fast, and suddenly, Wang Xu appeared in front of Skaul, kicked him hard in the chest, kicked him away, and then, Wang Xu suddenly disappeared there, and then, everyone heard a sound of "Qiang, Qiang, Qiang......" The sound of sharp blades colliding, and at the same time, seeing those blades, all of them were constantly chopping and chopping the bluestone that Skauer had sat on, and in the shining sparks, the bluestone was cut into a pile of stone powder and scattered on the ground.
"Cough, cough ......" Scowl was kicked by Wang Xu badly enough, he bent over, lowered his head, coughed and flew five or six meters upside down in the air, before finally "bang!" fell to the ground, but this is not over, after he landed, due to the backward inertia was too great, so, like a ball, he helplessly rolled backwards more than a dozen times before stopping, and finally, Skoll sat up tremblingly, "Wow!", spit out a mouthful of blood, and raised his eyes to look at the position where he had been sitting.
When he saw the "Knife Forest", a plant more than one person tall, and the pile of stone dust on the ground, his face changed suddenly, from the emerald green unique to the troll clan, to dark green, he was really frightened, his eyes were constantly rolling wildly, his eyelids were trembling slightly, and even, the expression on his face was a little unnatural, and no one could tell whether he was crying or laughing.
"Give you a price," Wang Xu suddenly appeared in front of Skoll, leaned down, stretched out his right hand, grabbed the back of Skoll's neck, and lifted him up, and then, Wang Xu walked back to his master's chair, threw Skoll at Nilou's feet, pointed at Nilou, and introduced to Skaul in a low voice: "This is the female god of the plant system of the elves - Nilou, if you don't want to be turned into fertilizer for plant growth by her, then you'd better apologize now, otherwise, I can't save you a second time!"
After listening to Wang Xu's words, especially when he heard the words "Fa God", Scowl was completely frightened, his whole body was twitching slightly, and even his face became worse, from dark green just now, to miserable gray.
"Right...... I'm sorry!" Skoll was quite upright, and immediately accepted Wang Xu's suggestion to him, and quickly apologized to Nilou, and even knelt down and kowtowed.
"Hmph!" After listening to Scowl's apology, Nilou snorted coldly, and then, after glancing at Scowl coldly, she glared at Wang Xu again, it was obvious that she was very dissatisfied with Wang Xu's rescue of Scowl.
"That," Wang Xu took out a yellow rosewood drum stool from his backpack system and put it in front of him, and then, he grabbed the back of Scowl's neck and put him on the drum stool, and then, Wang Xu stared straight into Scowl's eyes, and said to him in a deep voice: "Continue to tell your story, don't hide anything, don't talk nonsense, whatever God Nilufa asks you, you answer honestly, don't mess around again, otherwise you will ......"
Wang Xu snorted at the clump of leaves beside him, hinting to Skoll, you can't afford to mess with Nilou, just tell your story honestly, don't stir up trouble.
"Alright, alright, alright, I see, I swear, I'll answer whatever Nilou-sama asks me, and I won't hide it!" Skoll quickly raised his right palm and swore reverently.
"Hmph!" though Nilou snorted coldly, the "Knife Forest" of leaves suddenly turned into a dotted green light and disappeared, as if they had never appeared.
"To the point," Nilou didn't even look at Scowl, her eyes looked at the ruined section of the city wall not far away, at the moss on the city wall that had been crawled with time, at the thousands of purple and red animal droppings on the city wall, and asked in a cold voice, "What made you abandon this city?"
"It's a plague!" Skoll, who had already seen a little bit of Nilou's character, did not hesitate to say the point: "It's a terrible plague that killed tens of millions of us!"
"Impossible!" Nilou suddenly turned her head to stare at Scowl, and with some anger, she asked him very quickly, "The plague cannot spread within the troll clan, and the witch doctor in the troll clan is very good at treating the plague!"
"It's no ordinary plague, it's a plague brought by Golia!" Squall thought that Nilou was about to attack him again, and before Nilou could do so, he quickly said an answer that would dispel Nilou's doubts in the fastest way he could speak.
"What!" Hearing Squire's answer, Nilou was also a little caught off guard, her body shook slightly, and she barely stood firm, "Three thousand years ago, I saw with my own eyes that Golia was killed by the moon goddess Luna, and her soul was sealed in Cam's coffin by the god of the underworld, and Cam's coffin was also sunk into the River Styx!"
"I'm sorry, excuse me," Wang Xu sat on the Taishi's chair, squinting at Nilou, who was standing next to him, but his heart was wandering in the world, and asked her in a low voice, "Who is Golia, it sounds quite fierce?"
"You...... Aren't you the prince of the elf clan, and the elves are also involved in these things, don't you know?" After listening to Wang Xu's question, Skoll looked at Wang Xu with a surprised expression, "Golia is also the biggest enemy of your elf clan!"
People who were more surprised than Skaul appeared, and when Skaul said that Wang Xu was the prince of the elven race, Warren and the others, including the minotaur Sangu, their thoughts were all shocked from the state of listening to the story, and they looked at Wang Xu with a demented face, as if this was the first time they had seen Wang Xu.
"Are you the child of the Elf King?" Livka stared at Wang Xu with a mysterious look in her eyes, which was both surprised and delighted, as if a child had seen a new toy.
"That's right," Wang Xu knew that he couldn't hide his identity, because the sinister dead ghost Agrell must have already spread his identity everywhere, and now, in the area of the Dark Mountain Range, everyone should already know who they are, and they can still hide a fart, "Oh, the down-and-out prince is not as good as garbage, not to mention that I am still a half-elf, in the eyes of the elves, I am the garbage of the garbage!"
"You can't be presumptuous...... Livka walked to Wang Xu's side, sat on the arm of the Taishi's chair, and put her body on Wang Xu's shoulder.
In order to prevent Livka from playing on the topic again and seducing herself, Wang Xu quickly interrupted her, turned her head and looked up at Nilou, and asked her in a low voice: "What kind of character is that Golia, with such a great reputation?"
"Goliath is the goddess who holds the plague and disease in her hands, and she is a true god," Nilou looked down at Wang Xu, her tone a little heavy, "She does not reside in the divine realm, but hides in the fifth layer of the abyss, she is one of the guardian spirits of the demon clan. ”
"Isn't she just a god, no matter how strong her strength is, she may not necessarily be your opponent, right?" Wang Xu asked in a low voice.
"She's not very strong, she's not my opponent at all, and she's not the opponent of the Demon King Zagu, but I'm afraid of her, I'm really afraid of her," Nilou lowered the corners of her eyes, her eyebrows drooped, and she looked at Wang Xu with fear in her eyes. She is the most terrible deity, her terrible, not because of how strong she is, but because her ability is terrible, the plague she spreads can turn a city of millions of people into a dead city in a few days, and can turn an army of millions of people into a million carrion corpses in a few hours, she is so terrible!"
"Oh," although it has been less than three days of contact with Nilou, this is the first time Wang Xu has seen a frightened expression on her face, despite this, Wang Xu himself is not very afraid of the plague, because he knows very well that his body is completely data, as long as his blood volume is not empty, he will not die, and there will be no disease, plus there are two great gods in his sea of consciousness, the Creation Jade and the Eastern Emperor Bell, so it is difficult for him to get sick, "She is quite terrifying." ”
"You just said that Goliath was killed by Luna, and even her soul was overshadowed by the god of the underworld, then," Wang Xu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and then, after glancing at Nilou, turned to look at Scowl and asked him in a low voice, "How do you know that the plague was brought by Golia, the goddess of plague?"
"My grandfather told me that after the death of King Akon, the crown prince was killed by the second prince, and then, the second prince took control of the holy city of Atagaon and prepared to ascend the throne as the new emperor, but the ninth prince, who was leading the army to fight outside, came back and began to attack the holy city under the banner of avenging the crown prince," Skoll swallowed a mouthful of saliva, coughed, and continued: " However, the Holy City was so strong that it could not be defeated at all, and the army of the Nine Princes was getting smaller and smaller, and seeing that the situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to him, the Nine Princes made a decision, and he gave one of his favorite women to the god of the underworld in exchange for the help of the god of the underworld, and that woman was the god of beauty, Nina. ”
"Although the god of the underworld is strong, but in front of several of our great wizards, he can't make any waves at all, but he is obsessed with Nina's incomparable beauty, and is determined to get the god of beauty, Nina, so he scooped up the coffin of Cam from the River Styx, and released Golia's soul from it, but the coffin of Cam still controls a part of Golia's soul, which makes Golia's soul unable to stay away from Cam's coffin. As countless listeners listened with bated breath, Scowl continued to tell the story.
The god told Gloria that if she could help him kill everyone in the Holy City, he would free her soul once and for all, and she would be free, and Goliath agreed. Skoll let out a long sigh and shook his head as he continued: "Overnight, the plague enveloped the entire Holy City, and in less than a month, the entire Holy City was empty, and the Second Prince fled from the Holy City with his only remaining guards, including my grandfather, who fled to the Storm Canyon and built a new city there, while the forces of the Nine Princes occupied the Holy City. ”
"And then?" Nilou asked coldly, "where did Golia go?"
"After getting Nina, the god of beauty, feared that Nina would return to the Nine Princes, so he did not release Golia, and threw the coffin of Cam in the palace of the Holy City, so," Skoll took a deep breath, coughed again, and continued: " Golia, who was put together by the god of the underworld, was angry at the bottom, her anger turned the entire holy city into a plague hell, she did this, just fell into the calculation of the god of the underworld, the nine princes and everyone in the holy city, died under the plague, and his soul was also hidden by the god of the underworld, so that the beauty god Nina could never return to the side of the nine princes, and later, the elves called, they occupied the holy city, and after being killed by Golia's plague, the elves fled here and never dared to fight again. ”
"So, that plague goddess Golia, is still inside?" Wang Xu gasped, grinned, and asked Scowl in a low voice, "Cam's coffin is still in the palace?"
"I don't know," Squall whispered, glancing at the ruins of the city wall not far away, "this place has been swept by goblin scavengers countless times, and I haven't heard of any coffins inside, so she shouldn't be here anymore, but she must still be wandering around Cam's coffin." ”
After listening to Scowl's lengthy story, Nilou immediately began to discuss Golia's whereabouts with Wang Xu, and the two sisters, Zana and Succubus, also participated in the discussion.
Just when Wang Xu and the four girls were speculating wildly, there were bursts of singing around them, this singing was very similar to the cappella of a seven or eight-year-old girl, it sounded soft and ethereal, and gradually, the singing became clearer, and I heard: "The blood is boiling, the flesh is rotting, the bones are rotting, and the soul is broken......"
