Chapter 16: The Secrets of Anstaro
At night, black shadows crept into the palace.
The moment they stepped into the exhibition hall, the hall of the room, which had been pitch black, suddenly lit up.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, Demon King Garusi...... "The Messiah had thought that it was the demon king Garusis who had infiltrated the exhibition hall, and that no matter how bad it was, it was also his subordinate...... But these obviously don't even have a human form in front of them, and why do they look familiar?
"This is the Demon King Garusis?" Ah Xuzi looked at him strangely, "It looks super weak." ”
At first glance, it appears to be in the shape of a wolf, and the body seems to be made of some kind of substance, not flesh and blood.
"It's been a long time, Messiah the Brave. From the mouth of the wolf-like creature came the sound of Garusis.
"No, is that difficult...... The Fog Tide!?" Messiah finally remembered where he had seen it, but because the fog tide at that time was all in groups, he didn't recognize it for a while.
[Could it be that he is not a demon king, he has already controlled those fog tides!?]
At this moment, the Messiah thought of the worst-case scenario...... The tragic scene of Fox City when it was breached by the fog tide is still vivid, and everything seems to have happened yesterday.
Obviously, he guessed right.
At this moment, only the door of the exhibition hall was heard "clang" shut, and a figure in white armor appeared from a dark corner.
"Hey, there's a trap ......," Garucis sneered.
The members of the Black Feather Force appeared without saying a word, and raised their hands at Garusis.
Only a "boom" was heard, and white Chinese New Year's Eve erupted from the armor on the back of their hands, and successfully hit Garusis's body, forming something like a rope.
"Start catching!" With an emotionless voice, a brilliant electric current struck Garusis down the rope.
The electricity was not deadly, but it had a strong paralyzing effect, and now Gallusis didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he could only fall to the ground and let out a low roar.
But despite this, Garusis's voice felt very energetic and let out an eerie laugh.
“kukukuku...... I see, do you want to catch turtles in an urn? Unfortunately, I won't be fooled...... That's all for today, we'll see you again. ”
Glancing meaningfully at the Messiah and Axuzi, Garusis' body collapsed into a mist and then dissipated in an instant.
The Black Feather troops, who had lost their target, glanced at each other, ripped off the white object attached to their wrists, and fell silent.
The Messiah looked at them with blank eyes, and said cautiously, "Well, don't you introduce yourself......?
As a result of the "......", several members of the Black Feather Force had no intention of answering.
If they weren't able to feel each other's breathing and heartbeat, maybe the Messiah would have thought of them as a simulated golem or a simulated doll or something.
[It's really not an illusion, these guys give me a really strange feeling......]
Ah Xuzi's brow furrowed even deeper.
It didn't take long for the sound of dense footsteps outside.
The closed door was opened, and outside stood the heavily armed soldiers of Anstaro and King George.
"Where's the Demon King, did the Demon King catch it!?" he walked in impatiently and quickly to look around, frowning at the sight of white rope-like materials scattered on the ground, "Failed?"
"Your Majesty, it's like this...... Ah Xuzi sorted out the wording and replied: "It seems that the demon who came tonight is just the demon king's envoy, and when these black feather troops trap it, it will automatically dissipate." ”
"That's right...... I see, it's been hard work for both of you tonight. After listening to Ah Xuzi's report, George was calm, "Black Feather troops, follow me." ”
Then, without saying a word, the Black Feather troops followed George away.
Ah Xuzi and Messiah looked at each other, and for a long time Messiah broke this awkward atmosphere.
"What, are we going to stay up tonight?"
"You can stay up on your own, I'm going to sleep. After saying this, Ah Xuzi's figure disappeared out of thin air.
"Oh, good night. And the Messiah, too, had a look of surprise, yawning against the pillar and staring at the gate.
......
Returning to the palace, George sent all the guards around him away, leaving him and the members of the Black Feather Force in the study.
Locking the door, George rhythmically took out a few books from the bookcase and put them back in...... Then there was a crunch, and a secret door opened.
"Come with me. George greeted the Black Feather troops, and then walked in first.
Beneath this study lies a secret that only the kings of Anstaro have been able to know.
Perhaps many people don't know that every generation of King Anstaro is an alchemist, and most of them have extraordinary achievements in the field of alchemy...... Of course, because they are all very hidden, no one from the outside world knows about it.
However, there are exceptions to everything, at least George Jean Blackwing has no talent in this field, and he prefers to dance with a sword rather than spend a long day in the alchemy workshop doing research.
However, because of his father's legacy, this secret alchemy workshop must not be abandoned...... In all his distress, he finally thought of a solution that was not a solution, that is, to find a person who was good at this aspect to inherit this alchemy workshop instead of himself.
Outsiders can't be trusted, so it's better to replace insiders.
The supreme queen of the kingdom of Anstaro, Selena Scala Blackwing, known as the flower of Ace, is a nobleman, but her parents died when she was a child.
Before getting married, Selena was already a well-known beautiful alchemist, best at transformation and enchantment, and was nicknamed Iron Maiden.
Then, George fell in love at first sight...... And then they got married...... Then, he shared the secrets of the underground alchemy workshop with his only wife.
There is no doubt that George violated the rules of his ancestors, but if he did it again, he would definitely not change his mind.
When I came to the alchemy workshop, I was greeted by a silver-haired beauty who was concentrating on her research.
"Good night, dear Selena, are you still studying?"
"Don't make ...... noise" Selena didn't look back, just concentrating on continuing her experimental research.
George shrugged his shoulders and stood silently watching.
A few minutes later, the test tube in Selena's hand exploded, but the flying fragments were blocked by an invisible magic shield.
Selena silently threw the remnants of the test tube into the trash, and then glanced at the Black Feather troops standing behind George: "What was the result of these guys' first actual combat?"
George's face was depressed: "It's terrible, it's just like those brainless golems, I asked them to capture the demon king, but they launched an attack on the demon king's demons, and their ability to distinguish is too poor." It's still a long way before they can replace the Winged Knights and become the high-end combat power of Anstaro......"
Selena took it for granted.
"After all, it's an experimental product, and it's normal to have this kind of problem. What's more, the [system] has just been completed, and it is directly using corpses as carriers...... Don't worry, I'll make adjustments. ”
George sighed: "It's really Selena, it's only been a few years to overcome the difficulties that the ancestors have never broken through." ”
"That's because their minds are bound by common sense...... That's a long wasted time. Selena glanced at him indifferently, then looked at the oversized nutrition pod not far away...... There's a brain in there.
