Chapter 6: The Man in the Heavens of Death

Previous Chapter

It was a simple and modest room, with wooden tables, chairs, bedboards, and cabinets all in it, unpainted, and the traces of decay caused by the years were everywhere. On a wooden chair in the room sat an old man wearing a mask of terror, and opposite him stood a young man with a pair of light feathers behind him, holding a girl in his left hand and a huge ice lump in his right hand.

"What's going on with Nightmare?" the old man seemed to glance at Bai Yu casually, his voice old but flat.

"It has been determined that Nightmare has defected, and he has slaughtered a large number of demonic beasts, summoned necromancy, and built a palace a hundred miles to the west. Bai Yu hurriedly replied, looking very respectful and respectful, as if he was very jealous of the old man in front of him.

"I don't want to listen to nonsense, I'm asking you how the battle against Nightmare is going. ”

"That's right, I was about to attack Nightmare, but I found something more important on the way. Bai Yu pushed the moon crown, and the girl took a step forward.

"So you didn't kill the Nightmare?" the old man stood up, his body a little rickety, but an aura of death instantly enveloped Bai Yu.

"She knows space-time spells!" Bai Yu said hurriedly.

The old man seemed to snort coldly and took a step forward, but this seemingly inconspicuous step stepped directly in front of Bai Yu. He stretched out his withered palm and grabbed Bai Yu's neck.

"She's a nobleman of the Hack Kingdom!" White Feather screamed, his voice piercing like the mournful cry of a sharp bird.

The old man raised his hand, and actually lifted Bai Yu up, and with a hard throw, the powerful demon god was thrown out by him, hitting the stone wall, and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Aristocrat?" the old man turned his head to look at the expressionless moon crown, the terrifying mask almost touching her face, "What identity?"

Under the strong pressure of the old man, Yuetian's body trembled involuntarily, and her lips were pale, but she didn't open her mouth.

The old man stretched out his index finger and pressed it against the forehead of the moon crown, where there was a maple leaf mark.

"I've never seen this pattern. The old man said.

"He is indeed a Hack nobleman, I saw her when I attacked Moxi City, it seems to be some kind of night sacrifice. Bai Yu shouted in the corner.

"I haven't heard of any Night Rituals either. The old man removed his index finger from the forehead of the moon crown and pointed at Bai Yu, and the invisible pressure nailed Bai Yu to the wall again, and he kept screaming, and the sound of broken bones was clear in his ears.

"He didn't lie to you. Yue Mian spoke, she glanced at Bai Yu, who was constantly twitching, and admitted her identity, "But I'm just a tool to worship the Blood Law God, if you want to exchange me for any benefits, you may be disappointed." ”

"In exchange for benefits?" the old man seemed to sneer and let go of Bai Yu, "You said you were a Dharma God Sacrifice, but I don't think you know magic." ”

"When I was a night ritual, I knew magic. Yuemian stared at the old man's mask, her body trembling, but her eyes showed fearlessness.

"Then why are you here?" asked the old man.

"She knows time and space spells!It's a god of law! There must be something wrong with suddenly losing her magic and appearing here! There must be something wrong with the desert! I am willing to investigate this matter and take advantage of the civil strife to wipe them down!" Bai Yu continued to shout despite the pain.

The old man turned his head to look at Bai Yu, walked away from the moon crown, and came to him.

"You're dead, because you have many mouths and many tongues. ”

The old man raised his hand in Bai Yu's frightened gaze, and a red sword glimmered in the face.

"Don't kill him, he's right, Huck is in turmoil, if you attack at this time, there will be no hindrance. Yuemian said coldly.

The old man paused, then put away his spell and walked back.

"You're telling me to attack human territory?"

"If you wanted that grassless Gobi Desert, humanity would have been extinct long ago. Moon Mian said.

"You guys?" the old man pushed the mask, "I'm different from what you say, and I'm a little interested in what they don't want to do." ”

"Our demon god Arius has unified the seventy-six demon races, and it will be your human turn soon, don't think you can be spared. Bai Yu shouted at the moon crown this time.

"You don't seem to want him dead?" the old man pointed to the noisy white feather.

"Nothing, just trying to save the people in the ice mound. Moon Cora replied.

"If I help you recover your magic, can you still use space-time spells?" the old man asked.

Hearing the old man's meaningful question, Yuemian was stunned, she frowned and looked at the old man in surprise.

"Of course, the premise is that you will betray humanity and become my sacrifice, so that I will not only grant you magic, but also save your friends, and after the human territory is conquered, it will also belong to you. ”

Yuemian looked at the old man in a daze, and suddenly laughed, and the flowers trembled.

"If you don't want to, it's okay, I'll kill you right now. ”

"No," Mooncrown said, "I do." ”

This time it was the old man's turn to be stunned, and he looked at the moon crown carefully, trying to see how much of her answer was true and how much was false.

"You can betray your fellow so easily, you are not a qualified sacrifice. The old man sneered.

"I'm not human," Moon Mian said expressionlessly, "I'm just a human being, an artificial person who hates sacrifices and gods. ”

The old man was silent for a while, and then suddenly laughed out loud, which not only confused Yuemian but even Bai Yu was a little surprised. The old man stretched out his hand and took off his mask, revealing a plain face that was full of wrinkles, but it was not difficult to see that it was indeed a human face.

"You're human?" Mooncrown was a little surprised, or she thought it was incredulous. It's hard to imagine that the demon god Arius, who unified the seventy-six demon clans, turned out to be an ordinary old man?

"It used to be. The old man's smile was kind, and the moon crown was distracted for a moment, and an indescribable sense of intimacy permeated the whole body.

"Who are you?" Mooncrown frowned, and she felt her eyes sore a little. Just when she was desperate for everything, a strange and powerful old man suddenly appeared in front of her, and an inexplicable glimmer of hope flashed in Yuetia's mind.

"It doesn't matter. The old man waved his hand. He turned to face Bai Yu and said, "Go and bring those two people." ”

Bai Yu nodded hurriedly, regardless of the serious injuries on his body, he immediately got up from the corner of the wall, turned into a white bird, and walked out of the door.

"I can restore your magic, but you have to accept something bad that may make you no longer human. The old man said.

"I'm not human. ”

"That's good......," the old man nodded, "it's really good." ”

The old man stretched out his palm and slapped it on the ice lump beside him, the ice shattered, and Lori, who had fainted, fell to the ground. The moon crown went up to check and found that he still had vital signs.

"Why do you want me to be your sacrifice, do you know me?" the moon crown turned to look at the old man.

"I don't know. It's just a whim. What's your name?"

"The moon crown. ”

"Nice name. ”

"It's just a code name. ”

"Not anymore, you're called the Moon Crown. In Death Paradise, having a name is troublesome enough that a code name is not needed. ”

"What shall I call you?" asked the moon tiara.

"Alius. ”

"By name?"

"It's easy to understand. The old man nodded.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps behind her, and Yuemian turned to look, but saw someone she had never dreamed of.

"Sacrifice of Light...... And...... Qiu Yan?"

The two people who had just entered the door were also stunned, they stared at the moon crown with wide eyes, and did not say a word for a long time.

"That's right, you're old acquaintances. The white bird flew in, and the serious injury could not stop him from laughing sharply.

"Bai Yu, this time I will give you some more help, and in three days, I will see me with the corpse of the nightmare. Arius pointed to the white feather.

Bai Yu trembled and nodded hurriedly, as if he was afraid that the invisible spell that would shoot out from his fingertips again.

And in front of him, the Light Priest and Qiu Yan began to look at each other.
