Chapter Seventy-Five: The Center of the Land
At this time, there was silence all around, and even the heavy breathing of William himself seemed to be deliberately restrained.
"This is a kind craftsman, and his death is so tragic that it is like the entire Empire State Building has lost an extremely important cornerstone. ”
William said worriedly.
Ai Suyan raised his head suddenly, his expression was very fierce and unusual.
"I've heard that daggers are the preserve of thieves and assassins, and these hateful creatures are doing more and more bad things. ”
But then he sighed again and said, "Prepare the zipline by the furnace, then, Knight William." ”
After a while, in the skylight that suddenly opened, the bright moonlight finally slowly penetrated.
"The moonlight is shining, and the embrace of the gods is no longer untouchable. So a knight chanted in a low voice, while Essyan watched quietly.
After pulling the lever, he watched as William snapped the tip of the zipline into the perimeter of the skylight, and then couldn't help but smile.
"Climb up the zipline!" and then William's order was given, and the knights' movements immediately returned to their usual swiftness.
However, among all of them, only Essyan was different.
He suddenly leaned down to probe the blacksmith's snort, and felt that the temperature there did not seem to be much higher than the ice.
He shook his head, and looked up again, where a large number of knights were fleeing through the skylight into the outer space.
He also saw William waving his arms anxiously at him, but Essouyan only cared for the blacksmith's corpse and silently picked up a sharp sword from the furnace.
"I'll go up, even if it's for this father's behest. Then he calmly addressed William.
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, a lot of time has passed quietly.
At this moment, in the northern part of the imperial capital of Pompeii, outside the empty door of the council hall, an official in a black dress was anxiously asking the guards about something.
"No, only when the stars disappear above the canopy finally come, the Imperial Council can function freely again. The guard said solemnly.
"But why did Speaker Findal disappear inexplicably, could he have gone somewhere else?" the official seemed to be confused.
"For only he can determine his whereabouts tonight. The guard said indifferently, "And this matter has nothing to do with you at all." ”
The official was stunned for a moment.
"But, Lord Gray Valley has something urgent to discuss with him—" he muttered, not noticing a cold and stern gaze that was condescendingly looking down at everything around him.
"What a fool. The owner of the gaze smiled strangely: "It's so easy, it's become a tool for others to tempt..."
At the same time, on the ground of the land of abundance, bright starlight shone on the faces of the knights.
"That young man, he's really done us a great favor," said one of the knights, tilting his head.
"That spy named Ryker can't imagine our end now. The other knight smiled.
However, before he could finish speaking, a slightly sarcastic voice began to sound on one side.
"Can't imagine? There seemed to be a hint of strangeness in this voice: "The person who has been waiting here for a long time is myself." ”
Everyone was startled, and then turned back sharply.
The fog in front of him began to gather again, and the terrifying atmosphere that struck the atrium all the time, once again spread throughout the village under the stars.
"Escaping from the impregnable 'Shadow Magic Barrier' in this way is a bit of a trick, but it's still commendable. Out of the fog, a strange figure reappeared.
He was still dressed in an aristocratic uniform and a black top hat, but his expression became extremely cold, like a poisonous snake ready to pounce.
"Ryker! it's you!" the angry knights drew their swords at the same time, and then approached each other step by step.
Lake, however, didn't move, just stood in place like a statue.
"It's useless, kill him, or someone will die ... Haha..."Then a misty old voice suddenly appeared again.
"Who are you?" asked William, leaning over the blade.
"Haha... The voice hesitated for a moment, but it was still very strange: "I am a servant of the dark god, the ruler of the future world, and my power will spread over all mountains and rivers, and in this world, whether it is a fragile wish or an empty oath, it will eventually turn into nothingness. ”
"Heh... A guy who pretends to be a ghost. William plucked up his courage and followed the black smoke away.
"Oh... A self-proclaimed brave human, then I will grant you the right to see me as I really are. Haha..."The black smoke suddenly began to attract each other, and then gradually connected into a whole.
Then, in front of everyone's eyes, an unexpected object appeared.
It resembled a giant mirror, as tall as two adult men combined, from the lowest to the highest, and in the center it was shrouded in purple mist and spilled outward, like a demon's imminent eruption.
Most importantly, it is suspended in the air, with no pedestal, only a narrow green border around it, and a faint green light flashes around it, and if you look closely, you can see many lifelike patterns of strange beasts, engraved in every corner of it.
"He still hasn't shown up. William's eyes gradually looked a little confused, but in the next moment, he still got a glimpse of the true meaning revealed by the mirror.
Immediately, the knights behind him also let out an exclamation at the same time: "This is impossible!"
I saw that the purple mist in the center slowly condensed, and after a while, a huge avatar was formed, and he was floating, with a strange facial expression, as if he was laughing at this absurd world.
His face, as for his face, was undoubtedly old, wrinkled like a dry ditch in a barren land, and his gray eyebrows were like moss of a different color.
"Ahem..."In the blink of an eye, he began to speak again.
"Do you know what? ”
William looked at him silently, seemingly unmoved.
"All humanity that dares to resist God's will, which leads to the defeat of the Allies, will pay a terrible price..."
As soon as the words fell, a high-pitched and crisp voice suddenly sounded.
I saw that the prince Aisuyan dragged the corpse of the blacksmith, and before he knew it, he had climbed to the ground with difficulty along the hook and lock.
"You're so arrogant. Ai Suyan, who had witnessed all this, put down the corpse and said seriously.
"Oh... Blue eyes are really exactly the same as our former enemies...", the purple avatar said suddenly and defiantly.
"But what can you change?" the teasing voice never seemed to take what was in front of him to heart.
However, before he could finish speaking, a sharp sword with silver light instantly hit his eyes.
Enraged, Ai Suyan exerted all his strength, and the sword qi turned into a pearl-like crystal silver star at the tip of the blade, and then the bursting power filled the corners of the village in the blink of an eye.
Then, just as the tip of the sword was about to enter the surface of the magic mirror, an unexpected thing happened.
A huge purple aura suddenly burst out from the center of the mirror, and then spread out in an instant, at first glance, it looked like an unstoppable strange wave.
The Prince's sword was hindered by this strange magic, and his strength gradually weakened, and his body involuntarily flipped in the air, but he managed to stabilize his body with agility, and then calmly fell to the ground.
"This magic attack obviously didn't exert all its strength. After landing on the ground, Ai Suyan shook his right hand, which was a little numb from the shock, and at this time, the knights also stabilized their almost shaken figures.
"Is this the power of the man who defeated Maurice?" the avatar's words suddenly became a little unsettling.
"As an appetizer, it may indeed be enough to give the great Sirius God a dozen tooth sacrifices in the future, but—" He burst out laughing maniacally, and then disappeared into the mirror.
"Damn!" everyone stepped forward, but was interrupted by Lake's words on the side.
"Finally, good luck, guys. A strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he bowed slightly, and then quickly plunged into the mirror that had not yet disappeared.
Soon he was completely gone.
William waved his hand to stop the other knights from pursuing, but he didn't notice that Essyan's gaze suddenly became a little confused.
A few seconds later, the mirror also disappeared, but the prince's muttered words were still clear.
"It's a forest, and the moment it disappears, I see a forest..."
The purple aura completely dissipated, and his expression suddenly became no longer confused.
These guys don't seem to be the only ones they're eyeing...
A moment later.
"It's infuriating, this guy. William patted his horse on the back, and then said angrily, "Do you want to continue on your way, guys?"
The knights looked at each other: "Departure?Pompeii?"
Immediately, they could see in their eyes the pride of being an Imperial.
"The destination of this trip, the imperial capital of Pompeii, has long been regarded by humans as the center of the Denario land. But..."
Someone gently patted Essusyan on the back, and Shaka looked at it all with a facial expression.
"From today onwards, our fate will be tied to something special. ”
Ai Suyan and Shaka nodded, and the smile on their faces seemed to ripple.
