By magic, the earth and stone were quickly separated from the ruins of the collapsed building, converging and reshaping its form.

The rebuilders reconstructed the masonry from the aftermath of the previous battle in the royal city, layered on top of the streets that had not yet been opened to traffic, but had been cleared by knights and mages alike.

The soldiers who had fought a long and fierce battle during the war were able to return to the royal city after the war.

This makes it extremely manpower to have extraordinary strength at this moment, whether it is the Night Blade, the City Guard, the Royal Forbidden Army, or even the nobles' private soldiers.

With the help of magicians and knights, the royal city was rebuilt quickly.

Earth-based magic is perfect for clearing ruins, reassembling building fragments into building materials, and transporting them in large quantities.

Knights above the rank of Cadet Knight have no training, and as long as they are commanded by experienced people, it is quite easy to rebuild those building materials into buildings with their physical fitness.

Of course, these reconstructions are only superficial, unless the building is mixed with magic structures, or some precious materials, in this world with extraordinary powers, it has always been worthless, it is easy to destroy, and it is not difficult to rebuild.

The real losses were concentrated in the dead and the goods and materials stored in the store building that were destroyed along with the damage to the building, and these are the real losses that the royal city suffered this time.

But, at least on the surface, after only three days, the royal city had gone from the slight darkness of the shadow of the god of fear when it had just been dissipated, to the prosperity of the present, rebuilding the broken parts and showing the vitality of a kingdom.

"Captain Xiu Geyin and Mr. Wang Yu still have no news?"

A patrol team of Nightblades walks down the street next to the members of the scavenger team tasked with rebuilding the ruins.

Stopped by a Night Blade mage who floats in the air, using the earth elemental to sweep large swaths of rubble to both sides and clear a clearing for construction, asks one of their biggest concerns lately.

In the eyes of ordinary members of the Night's Blade, the leader of the Night's Blade, Shogein Smock, disappeared after the Descent of the Dread.

Whether it is the Night Blade, the city guards, or even the royal forbidden army, they have sent a large number of people to search all over the royal city, but they have not been able to find the captain of the Night Blade.

In the end, they could only reluctantly conclude that the captain of the Night's Blade, whom they recognized and respected, died for some reason in this incident.

Also missing was one of the members of Night's Blade's Special Operations Team, Wang Yu, who was in a similar situation to Captain Xiugein, who had also disappeared without a trace after the incident.

According to the clues provided by Mr. Wang Yu's friend, Miss Avia, when she asked the Night Blade Organization to assist in the search, the last time Wang Yu was seen was to ascend from the bottom of the royal city to the surface of the royal city with the body of the god.

In other words, the reason for Wang Yu's disappearance can actually be confirmed to some extent compared to Captain Xiu Geyin, and there is a high probability that he has been lost in the aftermath of the battle of the God of Fear.

The search for Xiu Geyin and Wang Yu is still ongoing, but there are not many people who have hope, because in fact, there are far more missing than Xiu Geyin and Wang Yu.

A large number of ordinary members of the Night Blade, city guards, royal forbidden army, and residents of the royal city have all lost their news in this incident, in fact, everyone knows their ending, and there is a great probability that they have died.

Wang Yu and Xiu Ge got more resources for search and rescue because of their special status, but if you think about it carefully, compared to the large number of new nobles who died in the divine descent ceremony and couldn't die anymore, are their identities really special......

Although they regret the loss of these two, the members of Night's Edge are already experiencing life and death all the time, and the death of people they respect is enough for them to just calm down and mourn for a few seconds.

The dead should be remembered, but the people they fought for were always the living who were still alive.

"The members of the investigation team have basically swept the ruins of the entire area where the Dread God Kingdom has been shrouded, but ......"

The passing patrol team stopped, and one of them responded, giving a general account of the situation, and at the end, shook his head and fell silent, the meaning was self-evident.

"I see, there is also news for you, Mr. Zieg Wilsbach of the Special Operations Group should be leaving the Royal City this week, and after that, our leaders should change except for Father Fang."

The flying mage nodded his head to show that he understood, and then told the patrol team below a new message.

"Ziggy, it's the clerk who has a good relationship with the captain, he's leaving, why is that?"

The patrol team members who heard the new news were a little surprised and asked with some confusion.

In his memory, although Ziggy didn't have much presence in the organization of Night's Blade, he should have served a little longer than Captain Sugyin.

"Based on what he said when he said goodbye to the members of Nightblade, he must have been in conflict with someone in the royal family, which made him reluctant to stay in Alestale, and he warned us to be wary of the royal family."

The magician thought for a moment, then gave an answer.

"I remember that he was a good-natured scholar, and he could make him leave angrily, what did the royal family do with the person he had a conflict with......

The patrol team members frowned, a little concerned and dissatisfied with being able to force a good-natured being like Ziggy away.

"You don't know how the royal family is, it's not that those who are usually overt and secretly targeting us are invisible, this time they should have gone too far in something, which directly and completely angered Mr. Zigger."

The magician didn't care so much, and shrugged his shoulders, seeing that he was no longer surprised by the various behaviors of the royal family.

"It is true that we have to be as wary of the royal family as Mr. Ziggy said, some of their actions are getting more and more excessive, we are fighting for this kingdom, but we cannot tolerate some of the royal family's behavior of crossing the line."

The members of the patrol team were thoughtful, and the mage's reminder reminded him of something.

"It's good that you understand, after that, our leader is likely to be the hero of the royal city, after all, the identity, ability, and achievements are enough, and he will be our leader, I don't think there is any problem."

The mage turned the conversation about the royal family back to the leader of the Night's Blade.

"Edward Walling? Indeed, the son of the Grand Duke, a member of the Night's Blade Special Operations Group, the God of Light's earthly agent, and the true hero of the royal city, I can't fault any problems, and I also believe that with this person's character and ability, Night's Blade can go far. ”

The members of the patrol team agreed with the mage's statement, and gave Edward, who is very likely to become the new leader of the Night's Blade in the future, a high evaluation.

"Don't disturb your patrol, help Shun Shun, please don't give up searching for Captain Xiu Geyin and Mr. Wang Yu, maybe Lady Luck will suddenly favor us who don't believe in his existence."

The magician said, regaining control of the earth elemental and continuing the reconstruction of the ruins of the royal city at hand.

"Don't worry, we won't stop looking until we check every corner, who knows if the gods of doom and other bastards are deliberately fixing us and hiding them in the most unlikely places."

The patrol team turned their heads and responded with the somewhat teasing encouragement of a magician.

"Well, that's good......"

The magician smiled faintly and muttered softly.

……

In the Ryder family mansion, in Charles's own room, Charles sat at his desk, writing something on the notebook in his hand, and next to the notebook, there were several star tarot cards, both positive and inverted.

"Father Fang, although the secrecy of communicating with you like this should be the ultimate I can do at the moment, my magic reserves and the tarot cards I made are not enough for me to have a conversation with you like this."

"Although it is a bit messy, why don't you try the prayer communication network of the Night Lady, the god of light is above, and his old man will not care."

Charles wrote a very rebellious and blasphemous word on one of the pages of his notebook.

After writing, tear off the page, place a positive star tarot card on it, and the power drives the tarot card, and the spatial fluctuations are generated, and the torn paper disappears.

His face became a little pale, and he had been communicating with Father Fang in such an absolutely confidential way, Charles was really a little unbearable, and he couldn't hold on to the consumption of magic power and void energy.

"Although I don't consider myself a pedantic archbishop, I really haven't tried this kind of thing, and you're right, I should have tried."

The page returned after about ten seconds, with a tarot card of the reversed star that had lost its power, and the neat handwriting on the page was Father Fang's response.

"Charles, can you hear me?"

The next moment, Father Fang's voice sounded in Charles's mind, and the speed with which it came startled Charles who made this suggestion.

"I can hear you, it seems that Father Prayer Network can indeed use it, right?"

Charles responded with a prayer communication network in his heart.

"Well, yes, although I approved the deity's mission in Alestale, I still haven't had any contact with him to avoid some of the troubles I've encountered with other sects, and now I can be sure that the Night Lady is definitely the most generous and loving of any other god I've ever met."

Father Fang's voice echoed in Charles's mind, and a slight smile could be heard in his tone.

"Yes, the Night Lady and the Old Man of Light are definitely the two best gods I have ever seen, and in my heart they are of the same status."

Charles said something very rebellious, but the meaning was almost the same.

"Well, I'm actually wondering if the Night Lady is such a special deity, and if he also believes in the God of Light, will he get the power to cast the magic of light?"

Father Fang's abrupt words startled Charles, who had always been very "disrespectful", and Father Fang really dared to think that these two would not fight.

"Well, let's put this aside for the time being, about Wang Yu's situation, Father Fang, you already know about it, right?"

Charles quickly shifted the topic to the focus of this time, confirming the information he had exchanged with Father Fang before.

"Well, I already know the situation over there, but due to the particularity of the Cult of the Illuminati, it is difficult for us to interfere in the internal affairs of the kingdom, to interfere in the development of a country in the name of justice, and to take over the power internally, which has been proven absolutely undesirable in the history of the Cult of the Illuminati in the past."

Father Fang said in a calm tone, informing Charles of the current situation.

"In other words, can't the Cult of Light do anything?"

A little disappointed, but not discouraged, Charles asked.

"There is a limit to what can be done, it doesn't mean that nothing can be done, as I said, the old man of the God of Light is not so pedantic, we can't directly intervene in the politics of the kingdom, but some less direct influences can still be done, and I will do this part soon."

"Then I have already seen your plan, there is no problem, what you have to do is to continue to carry it out, after rescuing Wang Yu, the remaining royal family's pursuit and killing, as well as the power that the royal family may use, these, I, our Light God Cult, will use all the power we can use to help and protect you."

"After all, protecting the innocent and protecting one's friends is always just."

Father Fang told him what he could, and the help he promised in the end was tantamount to giving Charles a shot in the arm, the power of the Night Blade, coupled with the power of the Cult of Light, this power was already something that no one could underestimate.

"Understood!"

……

In the dark and silent prison, Wang Yu was still bound with iron chains and stuck to the wall, and in the extremely quiet environment, he could clearly hear the sound of his breathing and the sound of his heart beating weakly.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Gasping for some effort, Wang Yu could feel that his body was weakening, and what caused this was the special spike that pierced into his abdomen.

This long nail is constantly attracting and converging the fighting energy in Wang Yu's body, and then releasing it outside the body, which makes Wang Yu's body maintain a state of "fighting vacuum" all the time.

Wang Yu's own Dou Qi was slower than that of ordinary formal knights, and after this spike continuously gathered the Dou Qi generated from all over his body and exported them out of his body, he was completely unable to use Dou Qi to maintain the operation of the most basic knight secret method.

By the time he had learned the secret technique of the Bloody Wind Knight, he had already fused the special structure of the Fighting Qi with his own blood.

What supports the blood operation of Wang Yu's whole body, from that time on, is no longer just the pumping heart, among them, the douqi flow integrated into the blood has also become an extremely important power source.

And at this moment, as the fighting qi dissipated from Wang Yu's body, these blood also became necessary to be driven by the heart itself, although there was no substantive problem, but the indescribable feeling of weakness was still generated on the perception of Wang Yu's body.

After not taking in nutrients for a long time, his body had a huge deficit when he burned the fire of spells.

During this time in prison, the effect of the anti-spitting elixir and the healing of the hideous wound in his right eye also consumed a large amount of the energy reserves that were already left in Wang Yu's body.

In addition, the fighting spirit that helped the body to operate, under the influence of that long nail, completely lost its effect, and Wang Yu's powerful body was indeed collapsing.

"The fat consumption is almost over, half a day, this is the limit, and if you want to continue to hold on, you need autophagy, start with the less important parts, break down those muscles, use them to maintain the most basic operation, and give me more time to study this long nail ......"

The closed eyelids lifted slightly, and he looked at the long nail pierced into his abdomen, and where the long nail was pierced, blood continued to ooze out.

The nature of this long nail is very strange, not only devouring Wang Yu's fighting energy, but also affecting the surrounding flesh, self-healing power, and activity.

As a result, for three days, the wound was still oozing blood, constantly depleting the energy reserves of Wang Yu's body, and soon, the energy that Wang Yu could finally use without harming himself would be exhausted.

Next, if he wants to die without exhaustion, the only option left for Wang Yu is "autophagy", allowing the blood with biological characteristics in the body to devour itself, and maintain the operation of life by decomposing the less important body.

This is tantamount to drinking to quench your thirst, but it is also the only way to survive at this moment.

"Let's start with the intestinal part, I don't have any food to eat at the moment, in a sense, these parts can be discarded......"

Wang Yu silently thought that he could give up first, devour the parts of his body to obtain energy, and prepared to use his own will to drive this declining body to act.

"Da ......"

A finger abruptly rested on the nail in Wang Yu's abdomen, and gently pressed it twice, causing a burst of pain, Wang Yu ignored the other party, and just focused on himself.

"Uh-huh...... Yes, the effect of this spike has been fully exerted, and I can't feel your fighting spirit vortex at all. ”

"How about it, the source of the fighting spirit has been completely destroyed under the action of this spike, and it can no longer produce the feeling of the fighting energy that represents the extraordinary strength of the knight, how about it?"

Rudolph's malicious laughing words sounded in Wang Yu's ears, constantly trying to break Wang Yu's nerve strings with this vicious mockery.

"Click......!"

The chain clicked and was produced by Wang Yu's struggle, as if enraged by Rudolph's words, and tried to kill Rudolph at all costs.

However, this is meaningless, Wang Yu's weak body at this time can't break this special chain at all, everything he does is in vain, it looks funny and ridiculous.

"Hah...... Your will is not as strong as you think, what about your calmness, this is just the beginning, the vortex of fighting spirit collapsed, it is just a prelude to the knight's destruction, and you don't open your mouth yet, you probably want to experience it, after losing your fighting spirit, the torture of gradually withering. ”

Rudolph's hand touched Wang Yu's cheek, and with force, he tore out a bloody wound, and the words full of malice surrounded Wang Yu's ears, bringing a desperate announcement, and then gradually moving away.

Listening to the constant sound of chains and hoarse roars from inside the prison, Rudolph walked into the corridors of the prison with satisfaction, and the transcendents watched their long-built power crumble little by little, and that was the easiest way to break their will.

The sound of struggle gradually stopped, and Wang Yu lowered his head, as if because he had lost all his strength.

However, in his mind, he was thinking more deeply, and his previous performances were just to buy himself more time, and one thing in Rudolph's words reminded Wang Yu.

"Did I go in a certain direction from the beginning, I have been trying to lean on the road of knights in this world, the fighting spirit is swirling, I don't have it at all, at the earliest, I didn't even have the fighting spirit."

"The birth of Dou Qi is also because I used the power of the void to let my body "learn" the concept of Dou Qi, and after that, whether it is the secret method of knights, the use of Dou Qi skills, or the internal submersion, I have always tried to follow the path they have explored in this world. ”

"In the final analysis, I have always been "imitating", but in essence, I am different from the people in this world, my body, and their body, are different, these "learned" things, can not be said to be meaningless, but, what about my own? ”

The thoughts gradually deepened, and when the fighting spirit completely faded from Wang Yu, this guy seemed to have become the high-level knight apprentice who had not yet had the fighting spirit, and something was dug out by Wang Yu at this moment.

It's not vindictive......

not part of the world of the path he has learned......

Corrugation......

And the shell itself?
