Act III: The Sweep of the Palace III
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your Excellency, don't make such a foolish move?"
The two holy officers got up from their seats, the shock on their faces flashing away, and then turning to solemnity.
The samurai who can wait by the prince's side are all humans with special powers, just like the silver knights of the Duchy of Westmar, they have a strength that is not inferior to ordinary professionals, and they are the second most powerful weapon of humans against demons in addition to professionals.
It is also a sharp knife in the hands of those in high positions.
"You don't know what this feather really means."
Under the watchful eyes of the two holy officials, the middle-aged man gently stretched out his hand and stroked the black feather on the silver plate.
"Choosing to send back this pitch-black feather means that she will not return, which is really sad."
The middle-aged man's face was expressionless, and his eyes became more and more gloomy when he looked up at the two holy officials, "Understood, nine years ago, I didn't settle accounts with your Guangming Cathedral, I deliberately left you two dead." โ
"It's time to settle the old foolish scores."
After a pause, his voice was a little low, "It's also very intriguing to send this feather back after nine years, as for the reason, I will find out for myself." โ
Soon, the two haggard-looking holy officers were pressed down by the samurai.
The middle-aged man frowned and sat in his seat in contemplation.
"This feather, I remember, is a token of the 'Black Crow', Dorothy has owned it for a long time, and has used it to urge the 'Black Crow' to obtain a lot of secrets."
"She was forced to go to Canduras because she knew too many secrets, and now she is sending it back, is she trying to reactivate the power of the 'Black Crow'?"
An unremarkable samurai approached, took off his mask, and showed a handsome, somewhat middle-aged face, with a slight doubt.
"Dorothy's death doesn't need to be confirmed, it's already a fact, has anyone found her bones..."
Shaking his head slightly, the young man touched his chin again and continued, "In any case, since this black feather has been sent back, the 'Pitch Black Crow' will be called by that wielder, if possible. Can you follow this line to find that person? โ
"You don't understand yet."
The middle-aged man stared at the black feather, and his tone was a little heavy, "The 'Pitch Black Crow' is an institution set up by her, and it was dismantled when she left for Canduras nine years ago, and the whereabouts of the core members are unknown, and what remains here is just an empty shell with no appearance, and some useless documents. โ
"So?"
The young man opened his mouth in surprise.
"As for the way the 'Black Crow' was mobilized, and where it went, only Dorothy knew from beginning to end, and this feather was undoubtedly sent back by Dorothy."
The middle-aged man's eyes narrowed slightly, "She was suspicious of me at the beginning, and returning this feather at this moment is mostly to prove that she is not dead, and she also wants to find out what happened before." โ
"Not dead? Oh, this high-spirited style is really like her. โ
The young man pursed his lips and said, "Maybe it's been made into a zombie, you might as well treat this as a joke." โ
He then bowed respectfully and left the palace.
"With this, the Cathedral of Light owes me an account."
The middle-aged man pinched the glittering feather and then muttered to himself, "The demonic plague in the west has always been a problem, and it's just right for them to take the lead." โ

The third level of the catacombs, the Palace of Blood.
In front of the White Bone Throne, in the astonished eyes of the fourteen professionals, a thin figure with a height similar to Tang Ze walked out of the lilac light curtain.
The four long arms gradually became clear, each holding a sharp, glittering long knife, and the armor on their bodies was a typical desert style.

This Knight of the Dark Sands is undoubtedly a monster in the second act, and it is also a good seedling with medium intelligence, in fact, after Tang Ze upgraded to Lv21, the number of monsters available in the Gate of Confusion has increased significantly.
Its attributes were not outstanding among the more than fifty dark gold monsters that Tang Ze had recently summoned, but it was the most suitable to replace Tang Ze in the Blood Palace.
"The cathedral is in the middle of nowhere, and the Blood Palace has not yet been fully restored, and in the near future, you will cooperate with it to completely recover this place."
Tang Ze continued, "The next time I return, it will be when I need to draw a sufficient number of demon teams. โ
He was going to leave here for a while, although he had plans to use the Blood Palace as his headquarters, but there were still a lot of things he needed to deal with on the side of the manor in the Black Wasteland, and if the manor and the Blood Palace wanted to be connected as a whole, he would have to run back and forth several times to establish contact.
At the same time, he also had to personally ask the countess about the current situation of the professionals, and draw a line with the professional fronts led by the Roger camp as soon as possible, so that it would be better to suppress and force them back.
The so-called substitution of Andariel, plundering the land, and becoming the new king is such a thing.
"Are there any of you of the fourteen who are familiar with the situation in Canduras?"
Hearing Tang Ze's question, the fourteen professionals all shook their heads and continued to maintain a respectful posture.
Only the female knight May hesitated, "Master, as far as I know, some of the best professionals in Canduras have joined the battle, and the most prominent one seems to be a necromancer named Hough. โ
After Hough took the form of an angel, he was killed in the Stone Field, where he was still hostile to the pros.
"Then stay here until I return."
Slightly disappointed, if there is a local professional in Canduras, he can take that person to the manor in the Black Wasteland to discuss the next thing to deal with the professional front of Canduras and the human kingdom.
However, at present, these fourteen professionals are all elites from all over the mainland, and they will definitely come in handy in the future.
With a casual move, a bloated red scarab demon emerged from the shadows, lying respectfully on the ground at Tang Ze's feet, and after Tang Ze rode on, it vibrated its transparent wings, turned into a phantom and rushed towards the gate of the Blood Palace, disappearing into darkness in a few breaths.
"Whew."
Coincidentally, the fourteen professionals were all relieved after confirming that Tang Ze had completely left.
In the face of such a powerful existence, the pressure on them was still too great.
"You're going to reshape your body, and that's one of the reasons the master kept you here."
A deep voice came from behind him, and realizing that it was the voice of the sand knight, the hearts of the fourteen professionals rose again.
But after hearing what it was saying, the fourteen professionals were stunned at the same time.
"What do you mean, we can still reshape?"
A savage dropped his hand on the side of his head in a daze, his tone and expression of surprise indescribable.
Including Dorothy, the fourteen professionals all had similar ideas, and it felt very incredible.
The soul has regained its power and flesh and blood has been reborn, which is tantamount to resurrecting the dead, which is unbelievable even in the eyes of these professionals.
"This is one of the abilities of the Blood Palace, discovered by the master."
The Sand Knight looked at the pool of blood outside the gate with a calm gaze, "The pool of blood has the ability to reshape flesh and blood, monsters can strengthen flesh when they enter it, zombies can repair flesh when they enter it, and skeletons can regenerate their bodies when they enter it." โ
"But you are slightly different, the pool of blood was originally cast from your flesh and blood, but if you enter it with a human soul attached to a human corpse, it may undergo a mutation."
"The master once said that this is your own choice, in addition, only one person can be reshaped every month, this is the upper limit of the power of the blood pool, after all, you are not ordinary demon monsters, to a certain extent, you are repelled by the power of blood, and each piece of flesh and blood will consume more energy."
Reshaping one's body is exciting to think about, especially for the fourteen people whose bones are already cold.
But as soon as they heard that there would be a change, the women of the fourteen immediately hesitated.
Even if they become subordinates of demons, it is still difficult for human values to be completely thrown away, and if they become demons who face the truth, they are naturally unwilling.
"It's fun, it's really fun."
The barbarian with the demon tattoo and the druid brother looked at each other and laughed.
"Can you reshape your body now? Just attach your soul to your bones and cross into the pool of blood? โ
The older barbarian stepped out of the crowd and looked directly at the tall Sand Knight.
"The bones are in the next room, they are all sorted out and separated, you can find them yourself."
The Sand Knight nodded, giving the barbarian a deep look.
"I don't care what I become."
Smiling disdainfully, the barbarian strode to another room amid the complicated gazes of the others, and walked out with a corpse in his arms.
"Can we go and watch?"
The female knight Mei was a little moved, looking at the figure of the barbarian walking quickly towards the gate, and looked at the sand knight with some flattery.
As soon as these words came out, the rest of the professionals also looked at it.
"Please."
The Sand Knight said lightly, and then did not forget to add, "The master has predicted that the time for the recasting of flesh and blood will be one to two days, and the experience should not be too close, the pool of blood will have a certain amount of damage to the wandering soul." Also, complete the tasks assigned to you by your master as soon as possible. โ
The majesty on its body was the same as Tang Ze's, which brought great pressure to these thirteen professionals.
"When will the host return? What if we completely reclaim the Palace of Blood? โ
One Amazon frowned, "Are we waiting here?" โ
As soon as the words fell, two flickering edges lit up, like pale moonlight, flashing away.
The Amazon's arms were cut off, and the intense pain made her face pale, and she snorted back, and she looked in fear at the Sand Knight in front of her, slowly retracting her sword, and her heart was cold.
"Sin is not unto death, but the severed arms are punishment."
The Sand Knight's dark yellow eyes were cold, and it was clear that what it had just done had greatly shocked these professionals.
There are some questions that don't need to be asked, and as for Tang Ze's itinerary, it can't be asked, which is obviously a taboo in its opinion.
The Amazon accidentally touched the mold and suffered.
The twelve professionals next to him all gasped inwardly, looking at the arms that slowly dissipated on the ground, not daring to speak more, leaving the left, going to the blood pool to watch, no one wanted to stay next to this sand knight.
In addition to the group led by Dorothy, there were a total of four female assassins.
"Dear Acting Lord, I would like to make a request."
She bowed gracefully and whispered, "That's what I talked to my master about earlier." โ
At the same time, the Sand Knight's cold eyes flickered, as if retrieving the message that Tang Ze had left for it.
"I don't know about this, I'll talk about it when the master comes back."
The tone was very cold, leaving Dorothy speechless for a while, and the latter could only say helplessly: "I understand." โ
What she wanted to talk about was the rebuilding of the "Pitch Black Crow", the black feather in hand had been released, and the reappearance of this token would soon spread throughout her previous country, and then reach the corner of every core member, and then only need to show where she is now, and her former subordinates will be able to follow.
The three female assassins who had been following her were actually the three subordinates of the pitch-black crows she trusted the most, and even after dismantling them, they still followed her to Canduras to die without complaint.
The pitch-black crow has always been her pride, although she was forced to a dead end because she knew too many secrets, but this time, under the protection of Tang Ze, she will be given a space to play to her heart's content.
"No secret can be hidden."
That's where the black crow comes in.
But for now, she still has to wait for a while, although it is a little tormental, but there is no other way.
With three disappointed-looking female assassins, Dorothy quickly left the Blood Palace.
After a long time, the entire Blood Palace was left with the Sand Knights waiting on the side of the Bone Throne, as well as some dark gold monsters hiding in the shadows.
The whispers gradually echoed.
"Tell me about the second level of the catacombs."
"Reclaim the cloister as soon as possible, and there is no room for mistakes."
"Exclude all monsters with torment marks and kill them all."
"In addition, the inner and outer cloisters outside the cathedral, as well as the green fields, forests, and mountains near the monastery gates, should also be according to the master's requirements..."
The Sand Knight, who was immediately ready for work, looked into a corner, and several dark shadows swept out, communicating with it in demonic language.
The operation of the Blood Palace is very orderly, including the recovery activities and the cleaning activities, all of which are going smoothly under the command of the Sand Knights.
The undercurrent surged, and the black clouds that permeated the cathedral seemed to be a little deeper.
