Chapter 783: The Truth of the Year
Lorna left the Great Library and came near the entrance to the Black Gate.
The security here is extremely tight, and there are a large number of guard towers on the periphery, three steps, one sentry, five steps and one post, guarded by the most elite imperial guards, not to mention sneaking in under normal circumstances, even a fly can't fly in.
Blood Oath: "Remember, you can't make the other person wary, or your abilities will be invalid." Be sure to be calm when you pass by, as if you were really holding the king's decree, and don't cower. β
Although Luo Na said that she showed off her acting skills in Danyu City and played the group of greedy officials dizzy, she didn't have a psychological burden at that time, so what if she screwed up? It's a big deal to flip the table and start fighting.
But now it's different, the black pass belongs to the forbidden land, if she is caught red-handed and stabbed to Perseus, I'm afraid that no friendship will be able to keep her.
"Got it." Lorna took a deep breath to slow her pounding heartbeat, squeezed the white paper in her hand, and strode out.
When the leading imperial guard saw someone approaching, his hand subconsciously held the knife, but he found that it was Luo Na, put his hand down again, and saluted respectfully: "Your Royal Highness, what are you doing?" β
Lorna pretended to be uneasy and said, "On the orders of His Majesty, go in and visit the prisoner Murphy Dogulland." β
As soon as the name "Murphy Dogulland" was spoken, it was obvious that the atmosphere had become tense, and the imperial guard asked in a deep voice: "To enter the Black Pass, you need to hold His Majesty's handwritten edict, can Your Highness show it?" β
"Yes, just signed." Lorna held back her tension and handed the blank piece of paper to the imperial guard, as the power of the blood oath silently poured into her body, and a strange ripple appeared in her twin children.
When the imperial guard and Lorna looked at each other, the ripples also appeared in his eyes, but he didn't seem to notice it, and he flipped back and forth with the white paper, frowning from time to time.
Worst... It's not going to be exposed... Lorna panicked.
After checking it several times, the imperial guard returned the white paper to Lorna, motioned for the people behind him to let him go, and then said to Lorna: "Your Highness, the black pass is extremely dark, please be careful." β
Lorna secretly breathed a sigh of relief, didn't dare to stay longer, and walked straight through the entrance of the black gate.
As the name suggests, the Black Pass is a prison of eternal darkness built beneath the lake, and the only light allowed is a guiding firefly planted by a psychologist who directs visitors to their respective cells.
Lorna followed the guiding fireflies, and walked for dozens of minutes before the fireflies slowed down, hovered in the air, and gradually dissipated into nothingness.
At this time, Lorna is facing endless darkness, the once familiar world seems to be gone, the cold breath mixed with the sense of loneliness rushes towards her, if the person's psychological quality is not strong enough, in this environment will soon feel trembling.
Just as Lorna was thinking about what to say, a faint sly laugh sounded in front of her: "Hmm... Footsteps I've never heard before... It's a stranger..."
In this endless darkness, vision is deprived, the perception of the passage of time will become numb, most people will become anxious, manic, and finally crazy in a short period of time, but the voice in front of them can actually recognize people, and its strong psychological quality can be seen.
Lorna pursed her lips and said, "Murphy, I have a couple of things I want to ask you. β
Murphy: "By name, I don't speak to people who don't have names. β
Lona: "My name is Lorna Fin Regnome, and Sula the White Dragon is my mother. β
"Bang!" The sound of the human body colliding with the cage bar sounded, and Lorna also felt a cool breeze swaying, as if someone inside reached out to grab her, and she was so frightened that she unconsciously took a step back.
The sound of heavy breathing kept echoing around him, and Murphy's voice was hoarse, heavy, but with an inexplicable fanaticism: "Finally... Her descendants! That noble queen blood... Stood in front of me again! β
Lorna suppressed her panic and asked, "I want to ask you about the 500 years of the Huoyao calendar, what happened to the royal city that year?" How did my mom die? β
Murphy was silent for a moment and let out a low laugh: "Hehehe... Also, you were less than two years old that year, and you definitely don't remember what happened... Daughter of Sula, answer me a question first, since you are of the Queen's blood, have you successfully pulled out the Blood Oath? β
Lorna snorted, "It's right behind me." β
"Excellent! Very good! Murphy's voice became extremely heavy, with a faint excitement, "Then let me make a bold guess, you should also know about the ancient king's attack on the dragon queen and the usurpation and crowning in the year 2188 of the Divine Fall calendar?" β
Lorna only felt a thunderbolt in the clear sky in her mind, she was obviously in a very cold black pass, but she felt that there was a fire burning all over her body, and her whole body was constantly sweating.
This Murphy... Why do you know about it more than 500 years ago?!
Isn't this the secret of the Blood Oath?! How did he know that he was of Doguran blood?!
Lorna's voice trembled, "Why do you know this..."
"Hehehe... The answer is pretty clear, isn't it? Murphy's voice was unspeakably strange, as if it had converged into a cold current, "These things were told to me by your mother, Sula. β
Lorna felt like her throat was being choked by a large hand, and she could barely breathe.
Murphy's voice continued: "Sulla has experienced everything you have experienced, and she was once deceived by false history, like all the people of the Regnomes, who thought that the descendants of Doguland who had the blood of the ancient kings in their blood were their own people, living in harmony with them, and protecting them with all her heart. β
"It wasn't until Sulla succeeded in pulling out the Blood Oath and came into contact with the secrets buried in the long stream of time years later that she discovered the true history."
"You must not have experienced that feeling at such a young ageβthat you recognize something as truth, that you honor it as the only light, and that you move forward under its illumination. But one day the light is gone, and you go to look for it as always, only to find the ugly and rotten truth. β
"You found that those so-called compatriots turned out to be sworn enemies with crazy ambitions, and the responsibility on their shoulders was actually a blood feud that spanned more than 500 years."
"The feeling of broken faith, disillusionment, and deceived life runs like poison in your blood, and the faith you once held on to collapsed overnight. So, you choose to draw your blade and vow to take back all that your family has lost! β
Lorna couldn't see Murphy's face, but she could imagine the mockery, the sarcasm, and he let out a sharp, twisted smirk, and there seemed to be a flame burning in his voice: "Yes, that's the truth of everything. In the 500th year of the coup d'Γ©tat in the royal city, the rebels are not an alien force, not the Troyin family who were pushed out to bear the infamy, not anyone, but the most powerful dragon knight of that era, your own mother - the white dragon, Sura Fin Regnome! β
