Chapter 51: Undercurrents are surging
"Wow, the palace is so majestic, it's the first time I've seen such a tall building!" Qiu Yue exclaimed, looking at the magnificent building in front of him with a golden face. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The palace as a whole is a Gothic building, similar in form to a church. The palace is about 150 meters high and 50 meters wide. The palace is high in the middle and low on both sides, with three spires and is decorated with numerous Gothic minarets and niches. On both sides of the palace, a pair of tall bell towers look at each other from afar, and the horizontal corridors below are connected horizontally, giving the palace the shape of a Latin cross.
Raphael stretched out his fair, slender left hand from his robe and handed the guard a silver shield badge. The badge was only the size of a palm, but the guard's hands trembled as if he were holding a boulder, as he saw several cyan characters on the back of the badge - Raphael, the left general. The guard immediately bowed down, presented the badge with both hands, and said in a trembling voice: "Lord Zuo, please come in." The left general took the badge and walked inside with the three of them.
Outside the palace, there are three gates, which are made up of layers of receding pointed tickets, and the faces of the tickets are covered with statues. There is a rose window above the main entrance, carved with little angels soaring, which are actually lifelike and look like living creatures. At the east end of the palace, there are seven small worship rooms arranged in a radial shape, and at the west end of the ring hall is the king's study. The atrium is about 15 meters wide, the vault is 43 meters high, and the inter-arch plan of the atrium is rectangular, each with a cross vault, corresponding to the vault of the side hall. The thin pillars in the hall are attached to a cylinder one by one, forming a bundle column. The thin column is connected to the momentum of the coupon rib on the upper side, enhancing the upward momentum. The interior of the church is covered with large stained glass windows, and the walls are barely visible. The window lattices are not ordinary straight planks, but flame patterns that resemble burning flames. The slender ribs stretch and coil like the open branches of a large tree, and they are gorgeous.
Raphael ignored these and just led the three of them straight to the back of the palace.
"It's here. Raphael paused and whispered. When they heard this, they stopped and looked ahead. By this time they had left the palace and had gone out into the wilderness. There was no living thing around, only a few dead branches and the remains of a few unknown animals.
In front of him, there was a skull-like hole, and the inside of it was black, and bursts of cool air emanated from it, like an entrance to the Netherworld. Raphael turned around and whispered to Su Han, "Don't forget yesterday's ......"
"Don't forget what" The deep voice suddenly came from behind itself, but it seemed to ring in the ears.
Suddenly, Raphael stopped talking, took two steps forward, walked to the three of them, put his right hand on his left chest, bowed to the place where he came, and said, "Welcome to my king." Qiu Yue and Xia Yang hurriedly made the same action, bowed down, and said as Raphael said. Su Han only bowed slightly and looked up. Not far away, a figure slowly appeared.
This person is about 1.9 meters tall and has a burly build. Stout, but without losing the demeanor of a king. His short red hair stood upside down, looking very bold and rugged, and his thick and long eyebrows added a sense of majesty to him. The eyes are large and insightful, like the sharp sword of judgment, but there is a little depth in them that is difficult to see. The thick lips support the high bridge of the nose, giving it a very stable look.
The king was dressed in golden battle armor, and a red cloak behind his back was windless and automatic, like a flame. The battle armor is wide and thick, and the two shoulder armors rise into the sky, like a phoenix. On the elbows, knees, and heels of the battle armor, there are sharp barbs, which shimmer in the sunlight. The king had three scabbards hanging from his loins, one with a cross sword in one and a knight's sword in the other, but the last one was empty.
Raphael looked at the empty scabbard at the king's waist, and his eyes flashed with surprise. The king was a hundred meters away, but in just a few flashes, he walked in front of everyone. Glancing at the flaming sword behind Qiu Yue, the king's eyes flickered, and he said lightly, "No need to be polite. Then the crowd slowly got up.
"Raphael, come in with me. So said the king, and strode toward the mouth of the cave. Raphael heard this and hurriedly followed. Several people were left behind, some at a loss.
Su Han asked with some confusion: "Haven't you been here, how are you going next?" Qiu Yue said with some embarrassment: "We all followed Sister Raphael together, I, I forgot how to go." Su Han looked at Xia Yang, but Xia Yang had already lowered his head with a flushed face, and said in a low voice: "I, I'm an idiot!"
Suddenly, where the king had come, another man came. The man had long blond hair, was tall and thin, and wore a slender golden armor that fitted well. He carried a slender cross sword hanging from his waist and a delicately crafted silver shield on his left arm. The man first glanced at the entrance of the cave, then looked at everyone, and after seeing the marks on everyone's shoulders, he bowed slightly and said, "Everyone, presumably the king has already gone down with General Zuo, please follow me to the meeting place." ”
After saying that, regardless of whether the crowd followed or not, he strode to the left. Obviously, the previous bowing was just a formality, and he didn't take Su Han and the others seriously.
Everyone walked slowly behind, and Su Han asked with some confusion, "What is this?"
Qiu Yue glanced at the person in front of him, and said with some anger: "The Purple Feather Guard Captain of the King's Guard, Ogan Si, is known as the strongest general, and his heart is very high, except for the king, no one pays attention to him, and even spoke against the right general, and it is said that he is only one line weaker than the right general." ”
"Oh?" Su Han glanced at Ogan in front of him with some surprise, and silently made a note of this person.
The corners of O'Organ's mouth suddenly curled slightly. I'll show you this time that I'm Ogham, I'm strong.
......
The dark tunnel, with dim candlelight, illuminated the two figures slowly. The ground was rough and difficult, but the two men walked at a steady, consistent pace.
"Raphael, who is that young man?" said the king in a low voice.
"Honorable king, he saved my guard in the country of Tamu, and when I saw that he was in good strength, I took him under my command. Raphael said lightly.
The king suddenly stopped, looked at Raphael with burning eyes, and said softly: "Raphael, there are no outsiders here, just call me Gabriel, just like before, okay?"
Raphael continued to walk forward as if he hadn't heard it, but his voice was a little chilly: "Respected king, how can I call you by your name, and then speak." Raphael suddenly stopped, turned his head, looked at Gabriel with hateful eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "You still have the face to mention before!"
Gabriel looked at the hatred in Raphael's eyes, and actually lowered his head, and said with frustration in his words: "Raphael, I am sorry for Michael's death, but I didn't expect him to become like that at that time, and he also killed two ......"
"I don't want to listen to your reasons, I only know that he became Beelzebub after his banishment, I only know that I killed him with my own hands, I only know that you sent Uriel to take the last of his things. Raphael directly interrupted Gabriel's words and shouted hysterically.
"What, Uriel took Michael's angelic heart?" said Gabriel in a deep voice. When Raphael heard Gabriel's words, he was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "Hehe, don't tell me that he wasn't sent by you, I've seen enough of your ghost tricks." With that, Raphael walked straight down.
Gabriel's face darkened, and he said to himself, "Uriel, I thought there was someone else who caused trouble, hum, it seems that you have lived too long. When I get it, you'll die without a place to bury. ”
At the entrance of the cave, a dark shadow quietly flashed in......
