Chapter 215. Light 1
The wind is howling and the snow is blowing.
The firelight flickered, and the tall back was facing the campfire, and white snowflakes were blowing down on his shoulders.
The thick fingers tightened little by little, grasping the hilt of the sword, and not far behind the man, a figure appeared, a tall top hat with a layer of snow falling, and wearing a black tweed coat.
"Regent."
The visitor took off his top hat, revealing gray hair, and a torn purple cloak fluttering behind him.
The regent still turned his back to Suleiman and said indifferently: "I am the only one here, there is no forgiveness master, and there is no Praetorian Guard. β
Suleiman was flattered: "It is an honor for me to be personally received by His Highness. β
The regent tilted his head slightly: "I have a question that I hope will be answered." β
"Please."
"How do people like you manage to be so free?"
Suleiman seemed to have anticipated the regent's problem, grabbed the top hat in his right hand, and bowed weakly: "Your Highness, if you join us, you will soon understand what is going on, it is not difficult to explain, compared to the people who live on the ground, we are just staying underwater. β
The regent shook his head: "That's not what I'm talking about, Suleiman, don't fool me with those simple concepts, we are all fish in the river, and no one can escape." β
"Your Highness, even we can't grow wings, you asked the wrong person, as for the dream world, we are just exploring the sinking world, and the sinking world will rise one day, this is the conclusion."
The regent did not speak again, he turned and looked at Suleiman calmly, as if trying to find out something.
Suleiman smiled: "If you don't have a problem, then this is the end of the communication between us." β
"Yes."
In an instant, Suleiman's figure vanished, appearing abruptly at the side of the Regent, who was even faster than him, reaching out and grabbing the campfire and spilling it into the air, sparks flying, repelling Suleiman's tentative attack.
"What is this?"
Suleiman looked at the layer of ash on his clothes, which seemed to have been left behind after something burned out, and he felt his speed slow down a bit.
The regent still stood still and said indifferently: "A little gift, so you are not so fast." β
Suleiman was not in a hurry: "Your Highness has been staying here since he left Little Lentinium, am I right?" β
"I'm waiting for you."
"No, you're not waiting for me."
The Regent's brows moved slightly: "Really?" β
"You're waiting for him."
"Waiting for whom?"
"Wait for the flying fish."
"Oh?"
The Regent clapped his hands, and there was some inexplicable meaning in his tone: "Suleiman, I guess before you joined the Deep Sea Council, the Twin Queens should have valued you very much, they may not know that you are already in the deep sea until now, Suleiman, you know a lot about the deep sea, but you refuse to do anything, if this land is a broken ship that is about to sink to the bottom of the sea, what you do is to make a few more holes in the hull of the ship to make it sink faster." β
"Your Highness, how do you know we have no other way?"
"I don't care if you have it or not, at least, you can't interfere with my plans, that's the bottom line."
Suleiman wondered: "What happened to you, you are completely different from before, the head that was injured in that war?" β
"Suleiman, you punched me a few times in Little Lentinium, and now I'll give it back to you."
Suddenly, the tide turned, and it was Suleiman who disappeared first, and what he did was flee rather than attack.
The regent stretched out his right hand, and a pocket watch fell from his palm, and with a snap, the brass case opened, revealing behind him the phantom of the white stone clock tower, one long and one short and the hand slowly turning in reverse.
Suleiman, who was galloping, looked at his body in disbelief, his movements became extremely slow, and he walked through the fog as if he was stuck in a mire, and it took a great effort to advance even a few centimeters.
"Suleiman, the Sakaz are far more terrifying than you think."
Step by step, the regent moved forward without any influence, catching up with Suleiman little by little, and the palm of his hand wearing a metal fingerguard pressed against Suleiman's face, and his face was wrinkled.
The White Stone Clock Tower behind the Lord Regent dissipated, and the affected area returned to normal.
Rumble!
The tall Sakaz pressed the gray-haired Suleiman against the wall, and the solid cement wall suddenly sank into a large piece, and Suleiman, who was pressed on his head, opened his mouth and spat out a large mouthful of blood, and the whole person fell into a state of vertigo and could not move.
"I said, you underestimate the Sakaz too much."
Waves of dark red light condensed in his hands.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem!"
Suleiman coughed violently, spurting red blood from his mouth and nose, and his figure suddenly became illusory and scattered, as if six of him appeared at the same time. εΊ8.(1)η₯ζε ¨ζεΏ«ιγΟΟΟs:/ΠΌ.Οε «(δΈ)zΡ.cΓ²ΠΌ/
The dark red light wave in the regent's hand condensed and slammed into Suleiman, and the concrete wall collapsed, raising up a cloud of dust and scattered everywhere with snow and water.
"Ran away?"
The Lord Regent looked around and found no target, and he looked down to see a tattered piece of paper soaked with water, the dye fainted, and he couldn't see anything clearly.
"Ahem."
A slight cough came from behind the Lord Regent, and then dispersed everywhere.
"Your Highness," Suleiman's voice was weak, "do you think now is the best time, and I think it is the best time, when you see others as prey, have you ever thought that you are also prey?" β
The Regent's expression moved slightly, and he suddenly reached out to cover his mouth, and a trace of blood flowed from between his fingers and dripped into the stagnant water.
When exactly did you get recruited?
Is it at the time of the conversation?
I was too careless, I thought that I wouldn't get hurt if I was careful, but I didn't expect to be exploited by these deep seas.
"Run, Deep Sea, since you dare to admit that you are the prey, then the hunter is already approaching."
The Lord Regent turned and walked away, not stopping for a moment, he had more important things to do.
Moments later, Suleiman emerged from the wind and stumbled down the road, the Regent's attack not only on a physical level, but also on a real damage that penetrated all defenses, something that all the depths did not want to face.
"King Sakaz, it's really terrible, it's just empty-handed, and I haven't drawn my sword yet, fortunately, my mission has been completed."
In the thick fog, Suleiman's footsteps stopped, and he stared at the other side, his pupils constricting slightly.
A figure quietly appeared, like a predator in the deep sea, with white hair, red eyes, a giant sword, and an indifferent expression.
"Finally, I've found you."
"Scati."
Suleiman snorted softly, as if he had met a natural enemy, and his figure suddenly disappeared, followed by a sword that opened the mountain and cracked the rock, he was overturned by the surging air waves, and was forced to withdraw from the rapid state, and the whole person flew upside down, smashed into a dwelling, and was buried in broken masonry.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Your Highness, are you injured?"
The regent didn't say a word, and his steps were so fast that his followers behind him could only trot to follow.
He did get hurt, it was an accident.
Was it really an accident?
The regent suddenly remembered something, reached out and took the dice out of his pocket, and the first thing he saw was two points.
"Does luck continue to fall or is it a slight shock?"
Unbeknownst to him, he knew very little about the occult, and all his mind was on his own plans.
"Your Highness," one of his subordinates reported, "something is wrong, there seems to be some unexpected monster in the mist. β
"Keep putting in the effort."
Someone quickly brought a chair for the Sakaz to sit down, and the medical staff with the medical kit ran over, but he stopped him.
"No, I don't."
The more this happens, the more you can't get treatment.
The Lord Regent clutched the dice in his palm, and he could already feel the other man's imminent move.
"Your Highness, all the data is normal at the moment, but ......"
"I see, keep monitoring."
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"It's not normal."
W detonates an explosive, collapsing the warehouse and instantly burying the two monsters, and she is stopped by Ifrit before she has time to check.
"What's wrong?"
Ifrit stared at the ruined warehouse, the thumb of her right hand pressing the thimble, and a thread of blood flowed from between her fingers.
W asked, "Is it appropriate to self-harm like that?" β
Ifrit didn't look back, "I can break three fingers of myself to break free from mind control, can you do it?" β
She walked briskly to the warehouse, looked back and forth a few times, and then turned to look at her companions again: "All the resistance we encountered along the way has been increasing, and it is these monsters until now, how do you feel about yourself?" β
"I'm already struggling, and now I'm twenty minutes away from midnight, and if I keep fighting, I'll have no more crossbow arrows."
"Sister Mei, what about you?"
"Ah, me?"
Mei couldn't figure out what was going on, she followed, shooting, and now when asked, she didn't know how to answer.
"I'm a little tired, if only the front was the end, there will always be an end to the mission."
Ifrit looked at Ines, who replied, "The enemy is growing, and apart from the monster in the dream world that you have dealt with, the most terrifying enemy we have encountered is the biological weapon just now, and in fact, their combat effectiveness is not particularly strong. β
W then asked, "Little girl, what do you mean?" β
Ifrit stood there and thought for a moment, with a slight hesitation in her tone: "We seem to be following the plot of some script, and if I'm not mistaken, when everyone is tired, there will be a safe spot in front of us to provide rest, and then there will be more fierce fighting." β www. (). m.//.
"Isn't that bad?"
"Not good."
The person who said these two words was W, and she took out a surprise box and handed it to Ifrit: "It's time to give the person who secretly laid everything out a little color." β
Ifrit put away the surprise box and explained: "If we follow some plot development and go any further, it will be difficult for us to break free, and when the bad plot happens, no one can escape." β
"You have to tell me why, it's really interesting, and I can find something interesting."
Ifrit retracted her gaze and said softly, "Because I'm a person who is not controlled by the so-called plot. β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"There's been a lot of fighting here, the walls of the office are down, who is going to fight in a place like this?"
In front of the collapsed building, Zhou Jinru half-squatted on the ground, observing the abnormal traces around him.
There was a pool of blood in front of him, I don't know who left it, and he could smell the faint smell of rust just a few meters away.
"It's a deep sea, most likely that it's Suleiman."
Ming Yuexin let out a whimper: "Woo, doctor, the concentration of source stone particles here is so high, they are all brought by the mist." β
"This kind of environment is suitable for those deep-sea battles, the fog is the deep sea, they are like fish getting water, there are traces of explosions here, it seems that all the movements I hear are coming from here."
Zhou Jinru straightened up and continued to move forward according to his intuition.
"Where did we say before, if those containment objects are not contained according to the rules, they will have anomalous phenomena?"
"Yes, the Doctor has seen a few, the icebreakers of the Rhine life can deal massive damage to the shield value, and the belt for liberation power, and then there are the rule books and dice, I don't know what kind of anomalies they have."
Zhou Jinru said as he walked: "I know a little bit about dice, people who hold dice can't help but gamble, become arrogant, and lose in the end, the rule book ...... I've heard Miss Marpel say that when they play a group game together, the characters they play rarely come to an end, and most of them start out smoothly, then the plot suddenly takes a sharp turn and ends in a tragic death. β
"Don't worry about it, the Doctor, the rule book is on you."
Zhou Jinru sighed: "I can't let go even if I'm worried, if it makes some trouble for me, I'll be the first to let the human phantom tear it apart, and I can't give it to others." β
Mingyue Heart: "......"
Zhou Jinru seemed to be explaining, he said: "In the face of this situation, the easiest way is not to break the rules, but to tear up the book, you let me gamble on the table, and I will lift the table for you." β
"Is this a threat?"
"It's negotiable."
Suddenly, Zhou Jinru saw that the sky on his right side lit up, and the sky-high fire dispelled a lot of fog, and even half of the sky was burned red.
Someone set a fire!
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
The tongue of fire kept licking and eating the ruins, shining on the white-haired Draco's face, looking particularly hideous.
The storehouse, which was piled up with a large amount of miscellaneous items, was caught in flames, and the thick black smoke melted into the night, and it was believed that it would not be long before the whole city knew about it.
"Your Highness."
The white-haired Draco raised his right hand: "In front is the warehouse of the Borg Group, let the steam mecha attack." β
More than a dozen large steam mechs with a height of four meters raised heavy fire modules, and in such weather, it was impossible for drones to rise into the air, and the natural enemies of steam mechs were gone, and their attacks were almost impossible to resist.
"Fire!"
Boom Boom!
A line of missiles emitting white smoke rushed towards the warehouse complex, and a series of explosions instantly destroyed a building.
"Change formation, watch out for the Sakaz Sorcerer troops!"
With an order, the troops of Shenchi quickly adjusted their direction, and in the ruins, one figure after another appeared.
