(Collection 18 and two more collections, I'm going to add an extra chapter, so I recommend you to come and see~ In addition, today is Sunday, so there will be a second chapter update at noon or in the afternoon, please look forward to it~)
Following Caroline's instructions, Von Rond carefully used his soul, slowly and cautiously touching the enchantment full of dark elements.
As if sensing that a soul was peeking at him, the enchantment was like a life, and the dark elements formed a group of strange combinations, which also extended to explore Feng Longde's soul.
This is the time when Feng Longde feels that his sense of time is the most delicate and the most delicate in his life, after all, he doesn't know if he can unlock the enchantment according to Caroline's analysis - if there are three long and two short, Caroline will save her soul at that time, but she didn't say whether she can keep her complete soul, if she becomes a half-fool or Down syndrome, it will be festive
Time passed as long as a century, and just when Feng Longde was about to lose his soul and faint, the permutations and combinations of the dark elements suddenly disappeared as quickly as a low tide.
Feng Longde breathed a sigh of relief: this kind of soul was almost scanned by antivirus software from beginning to end, and he didn't know what the person who set up this enchantment thought in the first place, it took so long to detect soul fluctuations, Feng Longde's spirit was so tense that it almost collapsed to the extreme.
In fact, the time was only five minutes, and the person who set up the enchantment probably never thought that a person with the soul imprint of an immortal monarch would only have a soul fire as weak as the soul fire, which is why Feng Longde was dizzy for five minutes.
In any case, the barrier quickly disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the remnants of death breath inside poured out, completely revealing the eighty-one knights inside.
The complete dilution of the aura of death made these knights who had been sleeping for an unknown number of years begin to move slowly, and almost at the same moment, the peepholes of all the knights' helmets lit up with a scarlet light, and both hands pulled the two-handed greatsword in their hands out of the ground.
The knight in the middle of the first row is estimated to be the leader of these knights, the blade of his two-handed sword is different from the straight blade of other knights, but curved and angular like a flame, and the barrel helmet on his head is also not as unadorned as the barrel helmet worn by other knights, and the sides of his helmet are decorated with a pair of demonic horns like the horns of a black goat, which makes people wonder if there will be a humanoid demon under the armor.
The unique knight was the first to awaken from his slumber, and the first thing he saw was a man and a woman in front of him, and the pile of burning corpses behind them—which led him to mistakenly believe that the wave of immortality created by the barrier defenses had been wiped out and the enemy had broken in.
After judging that the enemy was invading, the knight's first reaction was to launch a soul roar at the "enemy" in front of him, and a wave of powerful soul fluctuations rushed towards the two of them.
For Caroline, the impact of this wave of soul impact on her soul is not much different from tickling, but for Feng Longde, this is simply a **annoyance!
The scene in front of me was like a whirlpool tightening and then expanding, everything distorting and then suddenly reverting.
Feeling the soul of Von Lund in the soul connection tense again, Caroline glared at the knight, and an even greater spiritual wave rushed over.
The soul impact of the soul heart and the soul impact of this knight are the difference between a lake and a small puddle, and the knight's red glow was stunned, and then after a burst of soul trembling, the eighty knights behind him moved.
There were those with two-handed swords in their hands ready to attack, those with long swords and fan shields ready to cover their companions, and those with long swords and maces ready to charge, the instantaneous synchronous actions of eighty-one knights surrounded Feng Longde and Caroline in a very short time, and a pair of red mangs continued to scan them one after another.
"Enemy, or friend?" the knight at the head of the knight was shrouded in a rich and condensed aura of death, and his eyes in the helmet peephole flashed with a terrifying red light, "What is your identity after you lifted the enchantment?"
For a moment, Feng Longde's heart was raised, and he looked at these knights vigilantly, feeling the assault rifle behind his back with his left hand, and holding the paratrooper shovel tightly in his right hand.
Thankfully, the knights, though dead-eyed and lifeless, had no hostility, just the most pure curiosity.
Facing the knights who surrounded the two of them, Caroline's face did not change at all, but she tilted her head slightly, and sent a soul message to the knight in charge.
After a while, the soul fluctuation of the knight at the head suddenly became quite violent, and there was an irrepressible tremor in his tone when he spoke again: "The king is back?!Did he unlock the barrier?!"
The undead are immortal, they have lived for thousands of years and experienced countless things, and it is very difficult to make them excited. But obviously, the return of the undead king made these undead knights who didn't know that they had been sleeping for countless years couldn't help it.
"Yes" This time, even Feng Longde heard Caroline's faint response in his soul, as ethereal as if it came from another world.
At this moment, Feng Longde and Caroline felt a violent fluctuation in the souls of all the knights, and they couldn't help but get excited.
However, everyone's excitement was quickly controlled, and the knight's gaze slowly swept over Caroline's body, as if to confirm whether the black-clothed silver-haired girl in front of her was the respected Nether Demon Queen. After confirming that it was correct, his gaze finally fell on Feng Longde's body.
With swords in both hands, the knight at the head knelt down on one knee in a solemn posture, and his head bowed deeply towards Caroline.
The knights behind him also knelt down on one knee with their swords in hand, remembering the sound of metal clashing with armor.
There were no words, no cheers, these knights were silent even in their souls, but Feng Longde seemed to understand what the other party meant.
After all the knights got up, they all took off their helmets, revealing a pair of faces of different men and women, but whether these knights were men or women, they all looked resolute and solemn.
The knight at the head was a typical Germanic blonde and blue-eyed Norse man, his facial muscles twitching as he took off his helmet, and his chest covered by a steel cuirass rose and fell violently, as if the heart inside was undulating like a water press. After a series of violent gasps, the knight at the head fell to his knees again.
Feng Longde took two steps back in shock: he could see that the knight was on both knees, not on one knee - as far as he knew, in the Teutonic Empire's tradition, the members of the Teutonic Empire had no need or obligation to bow down on both knees except for their own Grand Master, the Undead King, and the Nether Queen, and they didn't even need to bow down on one knee;
What does he mean?
With a solemn expression on his face, the knight at the head stood up again like a soldier waiting to be reviewed. He struck his left chest hard, this time with a standard Teutonic salute, and his low and loud voice shook Feng Longde's ears like thunder: "The fifteenth chivalrous knight banner team of the Black Mountain Branch of the Teutonic Knights Chainar Continent, Baron Arnold Barton, and eighty-one Teutonic chivalrous knights are here to meet His Majesty the Immortal King and His Excellency the Grand Master, our mission is accomplished." ”
Despite the exhaustion of years of slumber, Baron Yarman's eyes still glistened scarlet.
This was perhaps the longest mission he had ever undertaken: on that day, he and his Knights' Banner Brigade received an urgent order from all levels of soul messages to gather the civilians and soldiers in the area to a permanent shelter in the shortest possible time, and to gather all the supplies and materials they could take. After all this, they set up defensive barriers, and at the cost of a significant decrease in the strength of their souls, they dedicated most of the energy of their souls to protect the Eternal Vault with a strong aura of death, and they have been guarding the entrance to the Eternal Vault in eternal sleep ever since. Today, with the passage of time, he can finally proudly announce with glory that he and his banner team have completed their ancient task of returning this place to the King and at the same time the Grand Master.
"You've done your duty, Baron the Black Knight. Caroline's voice, which did not change its pitch but carried a hint of emotion, said, "You and your banner team have worked so that everything here in the Empire has been preserved intact, and your mission has been accomplished—now is our mission, leading us in." ”
"Yes, behind us is a permanent refuge. Yarman replied, and then with a movement of his soul, the wall behind the knights suddenly sank, revealing a wide passageway, "The chivalrous knight is on guard at the entrance. Your Majesty, Your Highness the Witch Queen, please come with me. ”
☆
The gloomy roof, a thick haze permeated the entire space, making visibility very low, as if there was a layer of fog shrouding the place, hiding the secrets inside.
There was a dead silence on the way into the passage, with no signs of any object moving. Feng Longde was very uncomfortable with this oppressive environment, and his cheeks twitched from time to time to show that he was nervous now, but not to the point of discomfort.
But soon, under the guidance of Yarman, Von Longde and Caroline came to a lifeless wilderness.
In the interior of the Seven Star Mountains, there is actually this field shrouded in mountain rocks? If it is not a natural formation, then it can only be explained by artificial modification -- the Teutonic Empire's use of various terrains has reached a point of madness.
On the flat field, the stone monuments stretched out like neat tombstones into the depths of the thick fog formed by the breath of death. The air was filled with a thick aura of death, and the incomparably pure aura of death made the three beings who all had souls excited.
"Are those on the ground tombstones?" Feng Longde asked, a hint of involuntary awe in his voice. He had not been trained in the traditional culture of undead creatures, and he was terrified of the large expanse in front of him that looked like a cemetery.
"No, Your Majesty, this is the destination of the soul, and it is only the simple soul that sleeps in it. Your Majesty, you don't know all of this, do you?" asked Yarman, a little strangely as he explained.
Feng Longde nodded: "I am Caroline who has been awakened to explain my identity as a king, and I have always been just an ordinary person before According to Caroline, my memory as a king has not yet awakened, so I have forgotten many things." To be honest, I'm on the verge of developing a self-perception disorder right now. In the end, Feng Longde's tone was a little stunned.
The three of them were relatively speechless for a while, and then they playfully stopped mentioning the issue.
Along the way, Feng Longde followed the method taught by Caroline, extending his mind to the stone tablet on the ground and exploring the situation inside.
Under the scanning of the soul, those stone tablets are indeed the destination of the soul, just like the corpse - the existence that can carry the soul. But Feng Longde found that those souls were all in a mess and fell into a complete sleep, and there was no reaction even when Feng Longde's thoughts swept over.
"The soul is asleep, and it doesn't respond to my thoughts, why is that?" asked Feng Longde, turning to Caroline. Caroline once used the soul to send him a large amount of information about the soul knowledge, although the soul will sleep, but when the soul is asleep, the soul is also very sensitive to changes in the outside, otherwise if something happens, it will completely "sleep";
Wild undead creatures like to find this kind of sleeping unresponsive soul when they are prey, so any undead creature will be particularly sensitive to any soul fluctuations when they are sleeping, which can not only prevent ill-intentioned kinds, but also warn against life races, after all, although life races do not use souls, their activities will also exude soul fluctuations.
But now, Feng Longde's thoughts swept by, but none of his souls reacted, as if they were all asleep.
"Oh?" Caroline heard Feng Longde's words, and also extended her thoughts. When she swept over the stone tablet on the ground, her body stopped in vain, and she couldn't help but cry out in her mouth: "Soul of Silence!"
Both Von Rond and Yarman looked at Caroline at the same time. Soul of Silence, what is that? Neither of them did not understand the term, Feng Longde did not have any record in the information in his mind, and Yarman's situation was that although he knew the term this time, he did not know what it meant at all.
