Chapter 366: The Lost Royal City

Leo could only smile at Seredore's inquiry, he didn't know how to explain, and Seredore also felt as if he had asked some questions that shouldn't be asked, scratched his head, smiled, and then treated his question as if it didn't exist, turned around and continued to lead the way.

Because of Leo's help, the originally dangerous road has become a lot easier, no matter where the monster is hiding, Leo can find its location through the spiritual network, or bypass the road, or directly and secretly solve it, when the two of them turned over a ruin, to the edge of a huge arena ruins, Leo already has more than thirty pieces of high-energy matter obtained by hunting monsters.

It's a pity that in order to solve the monster in the shortest time, Leo used the strongest means to do it, and did not use the soul bonfire rune, otherwise what he would get would not be three accelerated high-energy substances, but some soul crystals.

"Is that it?" Leo's spiritual net swept around the arena, and he didn't find any other monsters, and he didn't find the servant of the fallen god mentioned by Seredor, but he did see a stone statue about ten meters in the arena standing very abruptly in the center, this stone statue was very ordinary, roughly like a lion, but the lion's tail was three scorpion tails.

"Yes, Batowie, pet of the god of the hunt. Seredor tightened his grip on the sword, turned to Leo and whispered, "My friend, I'll jump down and fight this monster in a duel, I hope you can help me block the help summoned by that monster, but I don't want you to be involved in my duel with the monster, even if I die in front of you, don't interfere." ”

Although Thérédor is familiar with calling himself a friend, Leo is not disgusted, although he has only just met this onion knight, he thinks this man is a bold person, and a person worth befriending. In response to Seredor's request, Leo nodded and said, "As long as that monster doesn't take the initiative to attack me, I won't participate in your battle, but that monster takes the initiative to attack me, I will still fight back." ”

"Okay, thank you. Seredore nodded to Leo, then put the small shield on his waist in his hand, carried the big sword that looked very incongruous, and strode to the edge of the arena, jumped off the high platform, walked quickly to the stone statue, raised the long sword in his hand and pointed at the stone statue, and said loudly: "The hounds of the god of hunting, the cannibal Bartovi, I am Seredor of Catalina, I want to avenge those who have been devoured by you in Catalina for countless years, take my sword!"

When Seredore said this, he deliberately used a very rich chant tone, which sounded like he was singing, but it also gave people a feeling of passion. It was just such a heroic statement, but it did not cause any reaction, according to Seredor's initial prediction, when he said this, Batovi should recover from the state of the statue, and then start a fierce battle with him, but now there is no reaction, as if Batovi is just a stone statue.

Leo, who was standing in the stands, also noticed the abnormality, he jumped from the stands to the arena, and then walked to the statue in the middle, reached out and touched the statue, and forcibly instilled it through psionic energy, after receiving the feedback of psionic energy, he turned his head to look at Seredor with a strange expression, and said: "I think you should win this duel, because your opponent is dead." ”

"Huh?" Thérèdor was stunned by Leo's words, he was ready to die here on the way, and even used his greatest courage to shout his duel declaration, but he never imagined that the battle was over before it had even begun.

"This can't be? how could it die? it's Batowy, a beast that even the gods have eaten, how can it die?" Théridol came back to his senses, still in disbelief, muttering to himself, and tried to stab his sword into the statue in front of him.

"It's dead, but I'm curious about who killed it. Leo circled around the statue a few times, although this Bartovi was dead, but Leo could deduce from the details of some organs of the other party's petrified body that the strength of this monster before his death was definitely comparable to his current strength, but such a powerful monster was silently petrified to death, and it was obvious that the existence of that petrified body had a powerful power that was definitely beyond this monster.

"I probably know who killed it. Although Thérèdor was a little frustrated that he had not been able to complete the battle he had scheduled, he still cheered up and answered Leo's questions, saying: "Although the gods have left the royal city, there are still some gods in the royal city, and only the princess from the abyss can instantly petrify the divine descendants of Batovi. ”

"Princess from the Abyss?" Leo looked at Seredor in confusion.

"I don't know the specifics, I've only heard from some rumors that the king who was elected by the gods and gods married a woman from the sea, this woman not only brought prosperity and stability to the royal city, but also brought luxury and depravity to the royal city, and then the abyss appeared in the royal city, and the gods began to hate the filth of the royal city, and abandoned the royal city, and the abyss occupied the royal city, and the city of the gods fell from then on. ”

Seeing Seredor's incomparably skillful chanting of a psalm, and thinking of the way Seledor's speech had been made before, Leo couldn't help but wonder, "Monsieur Seredor, you weren't a bard before you became a knight, were you?"

"Ah, haha! How is that possible, I'm Seredor of Catalina, the famous Onion Knight. Seredor let out an exclamation of surprise and laughed in disguise.

Leo didn't need to be tempted anymore, he had already figured out from the other party's attitude that the other party was definitely not a knight, I was afraid that he was just a bard with a knight's dream.

"Sorry, I'm not a casual liar. Knowing that his identity could not be hidden, Seredor lowered his head a little ashamedly, and then said slowly to Leo: "I am indeed a knight, but the identity of a knight is inherited from my father, I am a member of the Francois Opera Company, a special actor of knights, I have been playing knights for decades, every day I have to defeat more than a dozen monsters on the stage, hundreds of robbers, save the poor, punish the nobles, but I have never used a sword to fight with people." ”

With that, he took off his funny onion helmet, revealing his withered face, and said, "Until I had become an ember, I left the opera company, and walked alone in the wilderness, avoiding the crowds, and hiding in the forest like the other embers, waiting for the hunters to catch them." But when I met a knight, a knight who was also an ember, he showed me that knighthood is not just a name, a name, but also a responsibility. I followed the knight to the end of it all, and under the knight's teachings, I learned how to fight, how to survive here, until the knight finally lost his mind because the flames were extinguished and he became the living dead. ”

As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched a repaired part of the heart of the armor, and said, "I have dealt with him with my own hands, inherited this armor, and inherited his will, and from that moment on I am Seredor of Catalina." Then, he looked at Leo apologetically and said, "My friend, I'm sorry I deceived you, if you don't want to continue to march with me towards the royal city, I can understand, after all, ......"

"How do you enter the royal city?" Leo, who had always been calm, interrupted Seredor and asked:

"Huh?" Thérador froze.

"I'm asking how to get into the royal city. Leo repeated his previous inquiry and said, "Didn't you say that as long as you solve this monster, you can get an item that leads to the royal city?"

"Ah, yes, yes!" said Seredor with a nod of his head, and then wondered, "Are you still willing to go to the royal city with me, a liar?"

Leo casually said a reason, "I don't know anything about the royal city, you seem to know the situation of the royal city very well, so with you by my side, I should be able to avoid a lot of dangers." ”

"Of course, I am very familiar with Wangcheng, and I have been studying Wangcheng for many years, so I will definitely be able to help you. Seredor nodded repeatedly, then put on his helmet again, put his hands on his waist, and laughed, "Haha!

After saying that, he turned around and walked up to the monster, took off a piece of cloth from the monster's neck, and then found a cross pole around it, and threaded the cloth on the pole.

Leo saw that the cloth was just an ordinary cloth, and the only thing special was that there was a lot of dirt on the surface, and there was an extra ring-shaped badge.

Without Leo taking the initiative to ask, Seredor had already replied in advance: "This is called the Ring Seal Flag, which itself is just an ordinary flag, but the ring seal on it is a contract made by the gods and some living beings, and we are suspicious of summoning some living beings who can help us go to the royal city." ”

After saying that, the two of them left the arena and returned to the edge of the cliff from the original way, and then saw that Seredor planted the ring seal flag in front of the cliff, took two steps back, stood side by side with Leo, and then said to Leo: "Don't be surprised if anything appears later, let alone attack them, they will only help us reach the royal city, and will not attack us." ”

When Leo heard this, he didn't speak, because his spiritual network felt that when the flag was planted in front of the cliff, something appeared in the sensing range of his spiritual network, shuttling through the clouds, and flew quickly towards this side.

Soon Leo saw seven or eight monsters with thin appearances like skeletons, with several long horns on their heads, and a pair of bat-winged monsters coming out of the clouds and flying towards Leo and them.

If it weren't for Théredor's reminder, Leo might have done it in the face of these menacing and ugly monsters, but now even if he instinctively had the idea of doing it, he could still calmly control his impulses, watch these monsters fly in front of him, observe around him for a while, and then grab his arm and fly into the air with him, and fly towards the royal city with Théredor, who also caught the air.

These monsters flew fast, and although Leo always had a feeling that these monsters wanted to drop him and Seredor out of the air, there was a force that restrained the behavior of these monsters, allowing them to fly smoothly with him and Seredor at all times.

Soon they were at the edge of the royal city, and the buildings were taller than Leo had expected, feeling like a city built by giants.

These monsters seemed to be very afraid of the royal city, not only did they not dare to approach the royal city, but they did not even dare to fly higher than the royal city, after they flew to a platform cliff that broke in the middle of the outer city wall of the royal city, they were relatively safe in mid-air, and threw Leo and Seredor directly down, and then flew away in a hurry as if they were fleeing.

Leo got up from the ground and looked around, it was a street square, and there were three streets leading to the city around it, both in the square and on the street, there were a lot of signs of destruction, and the ground was also covered with the corpses of knights in armor, each corpse was covered with scars, and some even had a few weapons inserted, but the strange thing was that all the knights' armor was empty, as if both sides of the battle were air-controlled armor men.

However, Leo soon lost this idea, because judging by the large amount of dried blood left behind by some of the signs of destruction on the ground, the empty armor was originally a real person, but the corpses all disappeared somehow after their deaths.

Leo also wondered if these people would also be refined into soul crystals by a method similar to a soul campfire, but even if they were refined into soul crystals, there should be a large amount of ashes left on the ground, not as empty as there is now.

"Sure enough, that's true. At this time, Seredore, who also got up from the ground, looked at the messy battlefield scene in front of him and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"Do you know what's going on?" asked Leo curiously.

"Hmm. Seredor nodded and said, "I heard the knight say that after the gods left, the kingship of the godsborn and the church of the gods began to oppose each other, the gods imprisoned the princess and the prince, and the gods hunted the priests and the priests, and finally the battle between the two sides turned from the dark to the light, and finally led to a devastating war, in which the city of the gods was destroyed. ”

Leo stopped Seledor's words, and did not feel any historical solemnity, but was a little puzzled by the so-called divine inspiration of the city, because in any way, the gods who built this city did not seem to be the kind of gods who lived away from the crowd, but lived with ordinary people, not so much gods as king-like rulers.
