Chapter Forty-Nine: An Unexpected Encounter in the Town of Yayulong
At dusk, sword-shaped clouds that pierced the entire sky like tongues of fire crisscrossed the sky, and the grass, trees, and flowers on the earth were dyed red. The neatly lined up demon army stepped out from the gate of the demon domain, and the sound of the mighty march shook the heavens and the earth.
Xie Whitt had led the White Knights to the town of Yayulong early on, and they had set up camp in front of a grassy hill not far from the town, fearful of the shadows that swept them.
"We've been waiting here for a long time, but we still haven't heard from the town. Xie Huite sat on a rock to rest, and a soldier stepped forward and said, "The heavenly veins are broken, the demon army has come, and the catastrophe has descended on the world, this place is remote, not much away from the demon domain, and it is a barren mountain and wild mountain, if it continues like this, I am afraid that we will encounter disasters, we have already encountered a few ancient demons." ”
"Shut up, just take care of your business, the sword blade of the demon army is pointed to the west, no matter how strong their momentum is, what does it have to do with my heavenly kingdom?" Xie Whitt said: "Those Westerners are all short-tempered and pretentious, and it is exactly what I want to make them suffer, and Agurts put me in a dungeon for no reason, and I was tortured to get out of prison, and this time I took him back to the Great Vero Water Prison, which can be regarded as revenge in my heart, which is really gratifying." ”
The entrance to the cave to the town of Yayulong hung on a cliff, and at this time, Civero and Orvilles happened to be here, and the long chain bridge disappeared behind them, and a hundred meters of land appeared behind the hole.
Civero took pity on Orvilles, so he temporarily canceled his plans to go to heaven and decided to take him to Nan'a at the southern end of the town of Yayulong. He told Orvilles that Nana was the southernmost piece of land in the world, and that it was very far away.
When the two of them came to the entrance of the cave, two waterfalls like water curtains cascaded down from both sides, and a small green city surrounded by tender green mountains in the distance.
"It's a town of soul demons," Chivero explained to Orvilles, pointing to the small town, "Among the demons, only this one kind of demon looks similar to humans, and the rest are hideous-looking, but don't be deceived by their appearance, they are more ferocious than ordinary demons, and the great demon king who awakens the demon realm, Yayulong, is a soul demon." ”
Orwells tied her mother tightly with a cloth, and the two climbed down the mountain range along the long vines hanging from the cliff, and at the bottom of the mountain lay the corpses of a dozen ancient demons they had encountered in the valley.
Chivero pulled out the white arrow that pierced the body of the ancient demon, knowing that it was the white knights led by Xie Huite, and seeing that their blood was still steaming, he deduced that Xie Huite and the others must not be far from here.
Out of concern for his own safety, he did not linger long, continued to walk forward, and after several twists and turns, came to the vicinity of the small city.
At this time, it was late at night, the city gate was closed, and two Yayulong sculptures more than 20 meters high stood on both sides of the city gate that Luo Mu cut into two end of the obelar. This small city inhabited by the demon people is like an alien, without the gloomy and bleak characteristics of the demon dwelling at all, but is unusually quiet, and looks more like a human residence.
"Soul demons look the same as humans, the only difference is that their eyes glow green at night, but they can control themselves to completely disguise themselves as humans, some say that they were the spirits of the Ryusi tribe who lived on Mount Pagavaro at the beginning of the Elven Age, but the age is so old that no one knows what the truth is. Cevero preached to Orvilles.
"This guy isn't a ghost, why is he standing here?" Orvilles said, pointing to the statue of Ayuron.
"He is a soul demon, but he is not an example, he is the great demon king Yayulong, an extremely evil soul demon, is the leader of all the demons, he can command the demons to destroy the demons, the reason why he looks such a hideous face, maybe because of his own evil and distorted physiognomy, the inner mind determines the external temperament, if it reaches a very high level, it is undeniable that the temperament will change the appearance. Chivero said.
In the empty night, there seemed to be only the sound of two people talking, Orvilles had not eaten for a long time, and he was exhausted from carrying his mother. But without Civelo, he doesn't know how lonely he would be now.
"Thank you, Uncle Civero," Orvilles said softly, putting down his mother and sitting on the large stone slab in front of the city gate, "Thank you for walking so far with me. ”
"Nothing, this is where I want to be. "There are many difficulties and obstacles on the way to Nan'a, don't be defeated by these, to live in such a world, you have to learn to be strong and persistent, this is the basic quality that can be called a person, those who are nothing, they live half-drunk and half-conscious, they don't even know what they are doing, these people are not qualified to be called human beings at all." ”
"Hmm. Orvilles nodded, looking out into the endless night sky in the distance, the Milky Way slowly circling and the starlight coming into view.
"Look!" said Orvilles, pointing to the brightest star in the sky, "the brightest is my mother, and going to Nan'a will definitely save her, right?"
"Yes, I'm going to save her. "Civero is sure.
But Orwells lowered his head, no smile, and said in a low voice: "Mother is such a person, she has always been by your side, and she has never thought of returning, no matter what happens, she always guards there silently, and she doesn't want anything, but do you know that what she has dedicated, you can't repay it in your life." As he spoke, he choked up and wept, tears falling down the slate.
"If you feel pain, lean on my shoulder and rest for a while, the dawn will always come, life cannot be forever bright, but it cannot be eternal night. Civero whispered in Orvilles' ear.
Orvilles raised his head and saw the deep eyes of Civelo, and in his eyes, Orvilles seemed to see the vastness of the universe, the rushing thunder and lightning, the hope of freedom like the sky.
Taking advantage of the silence of the night, Cevero and Orvers sneak into the town, which is full of tower-like buildings. The street was empty, and the two of them arrived here as if they had entered an empty city.
The reliefs on the walls on both sides of the street are all about Ayuron, with lines of elven text carved on them. The flowers and plants here are the same as those of the human world, and, most importantly, the temples and houses here are arranged vertically and horizontally, forming deep alleys, which are quite similar to the naga dragons.
Civero told Orvers to hide in a corner and not wander around, and after a few moments of departure, he brought back two hooded cloaks and some food.
"These can be stolen inside their palace. "All the souls are wearing cloaks and coats, and if we don't have them, they will be easy to spot. ”
After eating, the two hurriedly put on their cloaks, Orvilles was not tall, and the lower half of his coat fell to the ground, but it was just enough to hide his mother on his back.
At this moment, a black hole hole appeared in the sky of the town, and a red dot in the center of the eye turned left and right.
The palace was spacious, with lights burning inside, but it was empty.
Orvilles leaned against the wall, "What was that just now?" he asked, fearfully.
"That's the Kun Demon Eye of Dees, one of the twelve great demonic beasts of the Demon Domain," Chivero said, "It can see through the void and observe anything that is not covered, but its life is that eye, so it doesn't dare to open its eyes at will, it looks like it's here to hunt down someone." ”
Chivero thought of the presence of these eyes when he was in East Orly, and knew that it must have something to do with him, and sighed: "I feel uneasy, I am afraid that the demon army has already arrived, and the Tyrota has perished, and if the Western countries fall again, then the whole world will lose a wing." ”
"No! Deirota isn't completely destroyed, everything looks suspicious. Suddenly, a man in a cloak and carrying a heavy sword walked slowly from inside the palace, and in the middle of this, Chivero noticed that his eyes were not green, which meant that the man was probably human.
The man approached and took off his black cloak, revealing his white hair, and smiled at Chivero: "Long admirable, General Sylsa, I am Santola, the protector of Agurts, we have the honor to meet on the sailing ships of the sea hunters on the west coast, and your skills are admirable." ”
"Then," asked Civelo, "why is Your Excellency here?"
"Actually, it's the same as you, but it's not exactly the same," Santola explained, "and I've been following the king's tracks since his captivity, and I've come here." ”
"You say Lord Agurts is around here?" asked Orvilles.
"That's right!" Santora gave a thumbs up, "at least an hour ago, but he was surrounded by the great magician of Gasero, and none of us could get close, and few of us could deal with such a person except King Agurts himself, and we could only be sent to death when we passed, since the man named Morakshasa brought King Agurts to the Demon Realm, he changed hands to the Great Demon of the Demon Capital, and the king was imprisoned by them, and the location kept shifting." ”
"Have you ever been close?" asked Civelo.
"Yes! Nine deaths, almost dying!"
"So what are you going to do?
"I think so," Santora nodded, "although they are powerful, there are always times when they are careless, and when the time comes, I will make a move." ”
"Also," said Santora in a lower voice, "I guess the reason why the king chose to surrender without a fight was because he saw something that none of us saw, and on the day Zuri was confirmed innocent and returned to the Dark City, the king saw a man from heaven with ten soul eyes, who he did not know, but who, as he said, 'déjà vu', and the king suddenly became different from before for ten days after that, and I guess he was making a big bet with his fate." ”
"What bet?" Suddenly a breeze poured in through the cracks in the palace gate, and the swaying lights swayed in the wind, and the swaying shadows made people chill.
"I don't know very well now, I only know that the king has an agreement with the demons, and it should be that the king can save the lives of the people of Dirota if he does not resist and take the initiative to be captured by the demons, but this agreement is completely a crude method made by the king to deceive the demons. Santora whispered, looking out through the skylight in the temple, "I think it's almost dawn, and the souls and demons will soon leave their resting place to get here, take care!"
Santora seemed to be deliberately avoiding Civero's question, and after saying goodbye to the two, he put on his cloak and hat and hurried away.
