Chapter 380: Stormy Night
In the country of extreme cold, the top floor of the royal palace was renovated into a bell tower.
The old man in a dressy dress drank the tea in his cup, closed the book in his hand a little lazily, took off his gorgeous unilateral gold-rimmed glasses, and gently placed them on the white quartz table next to him.
"It's also boring to guard an empty city by yourself, why didn't you think of this before? The king is really, I don't know how to find something to relieve my boredom, and I am tired of reading books here for so long. As he spoke, he stretched out and walked to the terrace in front of him, where he could see the whole palace from such a height that he could see from such a height that the huge palace of huge ice crystals and white building materials reflected the bright sunlight in the sky.
But everyone knows that no matter how sacred this place looks, it is just an illusion brought about by the bright weather, otherwise this world would not be called the "Demon Realm".
In fact, before the Demon Realm formally understood the human universe, they were still a "relatively harmonious" civilization, although they also had several large-scale civil wars, but since the establishment of the Four Kingdoms, the Demon Realm as a whole is still very harmonious, the Four Kingdoms learn from each other and help each other, and there have almost never been any large-scale riots, until the greedy high-level rulers of the Demon Realm discovered the universe where humans are located, and discovered an extremely powerful magic core from human civilization, so, Greed dispelled the sunlight of the Demon Realm like a demonic shadow until it enveloped the entire Demon Realm.
In the end, they still succeeded, they managed to sneak into the universe where humans were, and even found the planet where humans were, they didn't know how to get that powerful magic core, and finally took it for themselves, but that thing also seemed to be a treasure for humans, and since then, humans and the demon world have begun to have more and more intersections, but in general, all of them are attacked by the demon world, and humans guard, because when the people of the demon world go to the earth to get the magic core, The higher-ups of the Demon Realm were also deeply attracted to that world, and they had an ambition to occupy the earth, so they frequently sent troops to the earth through the passage they used to enter the earth, which finally led to the current situation......
After all, the harmony of the demon world has only been maintained for so many years, since the beginning of the open and secret struggle between the demon world and humans, the people of the demon world have entered a life of poor livelihood, until now, two of the four major kingdoms have become empty cities, the country of extreme cold and the country of dark crows are infected by an unknown virus, the virus will turn the vast majority of the people in the entire country into zombies, the lord expressed helplessness about the spread of the virus, so he had to temporarily withdraw to the earth, and the secret battle between them and humans has finally evolved into the current war, Because without conquering the earth, the people of the land of extreme cold and the land of dark crows will not be able to live......
Now, the old king has led his troops to Earth, leaving the old man, the new "King of Light", here to guard this empty palace, and now he is actually the only living person in such a large palace, and all the enemies they encounter are just conjured up by him using magic.
But he also understands that even if the lord of the country of extreme cold really makes him the king, it is not a matter of leave, and now the entire country of extreme cold has become a huge trap, this trap is prepared for all the people of the earth, as long as the people of the earth come to the country of extreme cold, then they are equivalent to stepping into this trap, and he, the "new king", is the last trap left by the old king to mankind, and he is the end of this trap......
But he still overestimated Gong Piqing and them, he has been monitoring Gong Piqing from the border of the Extremely Cold Country to the present, during this time his whole person is like a bow with an arrow ready to go, but Gong Piqing's advance speed is too slow, he finally understands the strength of Gong Piqing's group of people, maybe the old king is really making a big fuss, how can such a group of ordinary people who can't even solve the illusion pose a threat to the Extremely Cold Country?
He stared at them for so long and was tired, anyway, Gong Piqing and they would definitely not be able to come up for a while, even if he didn't do anything, Gong Piqing and they wouldn't be able to come up, so it was better to take advantage of this time to rest and rest, after all, Gong Piqing and they had rested several times along the way, but he didn't rest once......
Finally, with a long sigh, the magic that filled the entire country of extreme cold faded, and the frozen time melted under the scorching sun, and the stars and aurora in the sky changed color again, but because the sun was too bright, it was difficult to see the aurora again.
The light source that acts as the "sun" also entered the law of rising in the east and setting in the west like the sun on the earth, and the old man neatly placed the sundries on the sofa on the shelf next to him, and then lay down lazily and closed his eyes......
----------
The Royal Palace, in a regional hall.
The next time Gong Piqing woke up, he was immediately stunned by the scene in front of him.
To be precise, he was awakened by himself, he dreamed that he was still in the mine, that he was fainted by the heat, that the molten iron was still pouring frantically into the mine, and that they were still waiting for the minecart to run.
He thought that if even he was fainted by the heat, then the situation of the team members should be even worse, right? But why did he fall asleep? Even if he couldn't bear it anymore, he would at least have to get the minecart started first, even if it was to sleep on it......
But when he awoke from his dream and opened his eyes suddenly, he saw the dark night sky outside the window, and the frequent flashing of lightning, the dull sound of thunder and pouring rain replaced the original sound of the organ, and the members of the team were still lying beside him as before, and some even snoring—they had slept from the palace to the night without paying attention!
Regarding the weather problem of the Extremely Cold Country, he was no longer ready to bother to figure it out, because he knew that even if he figured it out, he couldn't figure out why, before they entered the palace, the Extremely Cold Country was still a polar night weather that did not prepare for dawn for ten days and half a month, and then when they approached the palace, the sky suddenly dawned, and it became noon at an unbelievable speed, and finally the time was frozen at noon as if it was locked, and they had been tossing in the palace for so long It was still noon, Then I slept for a while, and it was night outside, and it was pouring rain.
He still didn't quite understand, since this was a country of extreme cold, shouldn't it be snowing heavily, how could there be such a heavy rain in the country of extreme cold?
However, this problem is not completely clueless, after all, from the time they have not entered the palace, they know that the country of extreme cold is no longer the "country of extreme cold" in their original cognition, the country of extreme cold in their cognition is an extremely cold purgatory with ultra-low temperatures of more than 100 degrees below zero, and heavy snow with goose feathers all year round, but since they approached the palace, the temperature around them has reached about 10 degrees above zero, as if it has become a "country of warm winter", in such a warm place, It's a little strange when it snows.
Now the sky and the weather have a reasonable explanation, but what makes Gong Piqing feel a little uneasy is the burst of lightning in the sky, when he accidentally raised his head to look outside, he just saw those dense as the devil totem as hideous and terrifying lightning appeared from the sky, every time he saw the lightning can frighten his heart "chuckle", as if it was a demon flying in the night sky is demonstrating to him.
Finally, he was crushed by fear, he gently shook a team member next to him, and was a little worried that the team's sleep was actually an illusion, but he didn't expect that the team member was really woken up by him.
"Huh? Captain, are you awake...... Oh my God, how did I fall asleep...... Oh my God, it's dark outside! OMG! How is it raining! "That team member, like Gong Piqing, woke up and then experienced a series of shocks, and finally turned into an expression of looking out of the window with his mouth open, just like Gong Piqing just now.
Gong Piqing scratched his head, "This and this...... I just woke up, too, so I didn't want to ask if you were all better, and I don't know when I fell asleep......"
"Oh, this ...... We wake up and find you asleep, and then we ...... Maybe it's because I'm too tired, so I fell asleep, in fact, I don't know how I fell asleep, you see, we sleep here together without one on duty, how dangerous it is...... Are you still sleepy? If you're sleepy, lie down and sleep again, this carpet is very comfortable, I'll be on duty for you. The team yawned.
Gong Piqing also relieved himself in his heart, since everyone is still alive, it will be fine; He looked at the sleeping figures of the team members, and suddenly felt a sense of fatigue that he hadn't felt before, and he wanted to tell someone about the fact that the queen was missing, but after thinking about it for a long time, he realized that the person he wanted to talk about the most turned out to be the queen......
