Chapter 16: The Palace of Lies

Luo Luo frowned and glanced at them thoughtfully, his expression relaxed a little:

"Okay, then please tell us, what is your real purpose? Don't tell me that it is the treasure of the Ancestors, if the two of you match your identity and strength, you will definitely not care about this money. ”

"The remains of the first ancestors. ”

Yalei replied without hesitation, and then added, "However, if there is indeed a treasure inside the sarcophagus, we don't mind taking a little of it." ”

"Well, you're the one who killed the clown anyway. Luo Luo agreed with his statement, and reluctantly put away his hostility.

"I said you don't have to rub it off, the most important thing now is to open the coffin quickly and share the spoils, otherwise someone may break into the enclosed space. ”

As he spoke, Goethe had already stepped forward quickly, pressed his hand on the sarcophagus, and lifted the lid of the coffin, from which a haze of smoke poured out.

"Ahem, Goethe, you idiot! Are you alright?"

Luo Luo choked up tears, his figure flickered suddenly, and he rushed to stand motionless and stupidly in place, staring at his companion inside the coffin.

"Empty ......"

Goethe stiffly turned his head and smiled almost broken.

"What?"

Yare and Bruno hurried over, stood on the other side of the sarcophagus, and cast their eyes on the inside of the coffinβ€”no gold or silver treasures, no ancestral remains, no evil spirits, not even a single bug!

"Okay...... We've come for nothing. Luo Luo sighed softly, revealing a stunned expression.

It was at this time. The temperature inside the sarcophagus suddenly dropped, and everyone felt a layer of hoarfrost grow on the inner walls of the coffin at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the blink of an eye, it was a thick layer of snow white.

At the moment when everyone's teeth chattered, an awe-inspiring chill came from inside the sarcophagus, mixed with white flying snow as sharp as a blade, and a terrifying and vast will swept out, which was terrifying.

"Let's go!"

Ya Lei suddenly had a whim, only to feel a wave of malice hit the bottom of his heart with Ling Yan's coldness, and immediately grabbed the silver-haired boy's arm. Dodge back.

At the moment when the two of them retreated, a dazzling white light filled the entire field of vision.

Bruno and the black-haired knight were swept up in white light, and it felt like they were entering an icy snowball. A thick chill completely enveloped the body.

After a few seconds of pause, Areley slowly regained all consciousness.

He found himself standing in front of a stone archway, and behind it was a courtyard as wide as a field. The elaborate pillars on the ground collapsed into the grass. It looks like a broken beauty.

Directly in front of the arch, there was a fountain that had dried up, and there was not a single drop of water in it. It is surrounded by a high fence, and it is impossible to see what is going on outside.

The blue sky, transparent as water, without the illumination of the sun, is still clear and pure like a jewel, and the whole courtyard is filled with a distant and dreamy taste.

The black-haired knight withdrew his gaze. found Bruno, Lolo, and Goethe following him in a trance. His eyes are empty, his breathing is even and calm, and he seems to be sleepwalking.

And behind them, there is an abyss that cannot be seen at a glance.

"Bruno?"

Yalei stepped forward and pinched his chin, but to no avail.

He tried to take a few steps back, but the three of them who looked sleepwalking were still right behind him.

"What's going on?"

The black-haired knight calls Lolo and Goethe in turn, and finds that they are both half-asleep, half-awake, and the external stimuli, including pain, are completely ineffective, and they seem to be stuck in a sleep that cannot be revived from.

"Come here. ”

A soft and sweet voice, as if the petals of a flower were fluttering, sounded in his heart with an inexplicable temptation.

β€œ......”

Yalei turned his head suspiciously, looking at the white palace standing at the end of the courtyard in front of him, his throat moved, and a faint hint of strangeness appeared in his eyes.

"That's not right!"

He bit the tip of his tongue violently, and the pain was suddenly stimulated, and his brain suddenly cleared.

"Something is confusing me. ”

The black-haired knight's expression froze, his gaze suddenly darkened, and he began to wander around the courtyard.

"Come here, I've been ...... Always waiting for you. ”

The soft voice sounded like a veil in my ears.

"There it is!"

Yalei once again cast his gaze to the white palace in the distance, determined the location of the source of the sound, and after thinking for a few seconds, he took a calm step.

Bruno, Lolo, and Goethe followed him with empty eyes, and the distance between the four of them was always even, not more than a millimeter, not less than a millimeter.

When the black-haired knight walked to the front of the dry fountain, he found that the fountain actually had three floors, and the inner wall was a pattern that resembled the relief of the temple, and there was a circular pool below.

Yalei stood on the edge of the pool, looking down, and on the inner wall of the pool was indeed the pattern of the vampire ancestor killing the Holy Son, and on the dry and cracked black soil on the ground, there was a pale finger.

"What's the matter with this finger?"

With a move in his mind, he shot his falcon and picked up the finger from the bottom of the pool, studied it for a few minutes before stuffing it into his coat pocket.

......

Half an hour later, the black-haired knight walked to the front of the palace, and inside the door, there was a radiant corridor,

The corridor extends from a white halo at one end to a clear and transparent blue sky on the other side. Yalei noticed that the continuous colonnades on the relief walls of the corridor seemed to lead to the unknowable.

The black-haired knight followed the inexplicable throbbing in his heart, and walked forward step by step, a circle of ripples behind him was still rippling and clutching, and the reflection behind him gradually levitated, forming a terrifying demon shadow with twisted horns, following him step by step.

As the light gradually dissipated in all directions, he saw the altar at the end of the colonnade, where a crystal coffin lay silently. And outside this colonnade, there are countless purple and red flowers entangled, and emerald green branches cover the space.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time...... Brother ......"

Like a fountain dripping down to the ears. The soft voice spread out with the ripples.

"Who?"

Aree pressed his left hand to his brow, his pace slower and slower as he resisted the sharp pain that was about to crack.

Where the black-haired knight's footsteps are tread. The floor of the palace began to rise and fall slightly, as if the light and shadow had changed subtly as he went.

The flowers of different colors that obscure the sky and the sun have receded, scattered, and turned to dust.

I don't know how long later, just when the black-haired knight felt that his spirit was beginning to be overwhelmed and almost collapsed, there was a strange flicker in front of him. One is like amber. A girl who was wrapped in crystal and sleeping peacefully appeared in front of him.

Her facial features are very delicate, and her crystal nose bridge and delicate lips have a strange and charming style. The skin is also far more delicate than ordinary people, white and flawless, like fine porcelain. Wearing a silver-white long dress, the soft silk outlines the graceful figure. The snow-white inner skirt is open. It is as beautiful as a budding flower.

β€œ......”

Areh looked closely at the girl in the crystal, and found that she was wearing an aqua green necklace around her white neck, and in the center of the necklace was a leaf-shaped gemstone.

"Brother. ”

The voice that had been confusing before suddenly became extremely clear, and it appeared behind him just like that.

"Who!?"

The black-haired knight spun around sharply, his gaze meeting a pair of emerald green eyes.

The girl sleeping in the crystal suddenly appeared in front of him, without a trace of expression on her beautiful face, and she was still wearing a silver-white gauze skirt. Two decorative ribbons at the back of the waist are tied into a bow, and the maxi pleated skirt hangs down to the floor.

She walked over with a steady movement. There was not a trace of any breath on his body.

"I don't have a sister. ”

The light marks on Yalei's eyebrows flashed, and a long sword shining with the light and luster of the lake under the moon flew out, and he grabbed it in his hand, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at the opponent's forehead:

"What are you?"

"I'm Beryl. ”

The girl looked at him quietly, her face calm, as if she didn't see the sharp sword in front of her at all.

"Beryl?"

The black-haired knight narrowed his eyes, trying to pull the name out of his mind, but searching every corner of his memory, there was no trace of the presence of the girl in front of him.

"No wonder you tried so hard to kill me...... Turns out you don't remember me anymore. ”

The girl who claimed to be Beryl chuckled, and with the sound of laughter like silver bells rippled through the hall, her long pink and silky hair, which was left to the length of her shoulder blades, swayed slightly:

"I am also the holder of the Dark Source Power, but I didn't expect you, brother, to be the last to awaken. ”

"Kill you?"

Yalei pondered, and once again looked at the girl's face, and suddenly noticed that a pair of ears covered by her hair were actually in the shape of lotus leaf-like sharp points:

"Dryads?"

"Yes, my mother gave birth to me, and I am naturally my mother's race. ”

Beryl stretched out her slender fingers, gently parted the ends of the hair on her forehead, revealing a beautiful childish face, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly: "I just didn't expect that one of the murderers who chased and killed my mother at that time was my brother." ”

"It turned out to be you...... Mistetin's daughter ......"

The black-haired knight showed a conscious expression, and for a while there was a tsunami in his mind, and countless fierce emotions surged, and he wanted to erupt:

"Egg of lies, no, King of Liesβ€”Beryl!"

"You are too sluggish, my dear brother. ”

The palace gate slammed shut with a strong wind, and a tidal stream poured into the hall, blowing away all the light. In an instant, the entire palace was plunged into darkness.

"I won't forgive you. ”

Beryl stared at him coldly, her white hands slowly touched her chest, and her eyes gradually filled with tears, dripping on the stone slab like pearls:

"Mom...... I could feel her love for me, and I loved her like that...... And you, in conjunction with those gangs, murdered her!"

"Demon gods also know how to love?"

It was as if he had heard a ridiculous joke, and his surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face.

"We're no longer pure demon gods, brother. Beryl lifted her delicate face, and her figure flickered and disappeared in front of him.

"I'm the same as you. ”

The witch appeared behind the black-haired knight with her voice, and with a gentle push of her small white hand, she pushed him off the high platform:

"The other five brothers have also awakened one by one, although you were the head of the demon god before, now you are weak and pitiful, no match for any of us. ”

Yalei's figure was engulfed by a black void in the fall, and in a trance, it fell back to the previous high platform.

He instantly stabilized his body and stabbed his sword behind him.

Sneerβ€”β€”!

The sword flashed, pulling out a silver mark that slashed across Beryl's head.

There was a flash of lightning in the space, and the black-haired knight trembled like a thunderbolt, and flew out silently.

Bangβ€”β€”!

He slammed into the wall behind him.

"But that thing isn't in my hands, so you can't die yet. ”

Beryl landed lightly in front of Yalei, her fingers pinching Arondette's sword, and her mouth was like a zipper, and it suddenly cracked open, revealing the sharp white teeth inside:

"But that's not necessarily the case, I'm going to make you suffer. ”

She stretched out a white index finger and pointed at the palace door, looking dazed Bruno.

"Don't you think about it!"

The black qi in Yalei's eyes churned, and he forcibly used the power of apotheosis, and the huge demon shadow behind him suddenly raised his sharp right claw.

"You're resurrected!?"

The witch let out a scream, as if she had encountered a natural enemy, and her figure suddenly flew behind her, and instantly disappeared into the crystal coffin.

"I was wrong...... Don't dare anymore...... I don't dare anymore!"

As if awakened by some kind of nightmare, Beryl disappeared into the crystal coffin like a phantom, and a distorted expression suddenly appeared on her sleeping face.

What's going on?

The black-haired knight looked at the witch who suddenly retracted into the crystal, and felt a burst of joy in his heart, as if it was his own dying blow that awakened a certain memory in her heart.

She's scared of me...... So susceptible to the power of fear...... Could it be that she has been dreaming?

Yalei looked at Beryl, who was sleeping in the crystal coffin, and had an answer in his heart, and in order to confirm his thoughts, he deliberately walked towards the crystal coffin with a blank face.

"Beryl, how dare you resist me?"

Under the influence of the source of fear, the black-haired knight's voice became majestic and heavy, as if thunder was rolling in the sky, and it resounded in the hall with boundless power.

Click-click-click!

A trace of black cracks appeared in the space of the palace, the dome began to shake violently, the hard walls instantly became soft and transparent, the closed door was also shattered with a gust of wind, and Beryl in the crystal coffin let out a cry of begging for mercy:

"I'm sorry, I don't dare, I don't dare anymore!"

"Tell me, why are you here, and where are the vampire ancestors who should have been buried here?" asked a thunderous voice.

"Mom teleported me here, the ancestor of the vampire, a fool who tried to devour me before I hatched, and then I ate it from my dreams, leaving only a finger. ”

Ate ...... from a dream This must be her dream too...... Sure enough, he inherited the same ability as Mistetin, the power of the demon god plus the power of Mistetin, this guy is too dangerous!
