170 Pagan Lair (Part II)

After telling Sod of his desire to improve the lives of the people as much as possible, Ankka traveled to the Golden City of the Word on a Wyvern.

During this time, Alanch always hoped that he could go with him, but Anka refused on the grounds that Alanch wanted to guard the Northland territory.

On the back of the wyvern, Anka could clearly see the ground through a telescope, and the whole of the Northland was as if it had never been explored, with bare mineral deposits and primeval forests everywhere, as well as settlements scattered like specks on the earth.

On top of a remote hill on the border with San Seca, Anka spotted a glittering object on the opposite side and directed the Wyvern to place himself at the bottom of the mountain.

Anka climbed to the top of the mountain and stood in front of the gate more than ten meters high, and found that this was actually a whole small palace embedded in the mountain, and the bright light just now was also because the sun shone on the stained glass.

Ankka squeezed through the broken walls and walked through several rooms that were empty to what resembled a warehouse, filled with a pungent stench of blood that Ankka found unacceptable.

Ankka lifted the lid from the barrel and found that it was full of human skins soaked in blood, and that the barrel was also engraved with some textual messages.

Ankh noticed that the information on these barrels actually contained information about members of major families in various countries, among which Santa Seca and Karan were the most.

Suddenly, there was a faint stampede outside the door, and Ankka quietly hid behind some wooden barrels.

Soon two infidel walked in, and while they were working on the human skin, they chatted, "I heard that those gatherings have been attacked?" ”

"Well, they specifically formed a new legion to pursue us."

"What a rarity! How could they be temporarily united because of us? ”

"That shows that they are afraid of us!"

"You're right!"

After the two of them put the human skin into the new barrel, one of the infidels stopped and said, "Why does it feel that something is wrong?" ”

Just as he was walking in the direction of Anka, Anka was ready for battle, when suddenly another person stood in front of him and said, "Why did a barrel fall here?" ”

With that, he got up and put the barrel in front of Ankka back together.

Then he pointed to a hole in the wall and said, "There won't be rats!" ”

Another person listened to the hole in the wall and said, "It shouldn't be a rat, I'll call someone to deal with it later." ”

With that, the two of them left the warehouse and they locked the door, which made Ankka curse in her heart and start thinking about how she was going to get out.

Ankh noticed that the gate was made of solid rock wrapped in iron sheets, and that it was unlikely that he could open it with his own weapons alone.

When Ankka tried to push the door, he suddenly felt someone appear behind the door, so he quickly stopped moving, and with a click, Ankka also drew his weapon and prepared to rush out directly.

After waiting for a few moments and still not moving, Anka stepped forward and tried to push the door again, and with a screeching sound of friction, the heavy door was opened.

Ankka slowly walked out after a few probes, and found a large amount of dazzling red light coming from the room at the end of the hallway, Ankka cautiously leaned against the wall and walked towards the end of the hallway.

In front of the room at the end of the hallway, there are five large colored floor-to-ceiling windows, and Ankka is shocked by the scene they draw as he passes by.

It depicts the world from being made by the gods to the prosperity of the elves, and after the first emperor led the legions, defeated the arrogant elves, drove a large number of elves elsewhere, and established a human empire that spanned the entire continent.

After that, the division of the human empire for a thousand years, the conquest of each other, then the appearance of demons, the whole world is like purgatory, and finally everything is silent.

Anka muttered to this, "It's weird, is this what they believe or what they hope?" ”

After saying that, Ankka quickly walked to the door of the room at the end, and after quietly pushing the door open, Ankka found that there was no one inside, only a large vat filled with mysterious red liquid in the center of the hall and a magnificent picture painted with stained glass overhead.

It depicts a scarlet sun drowning in the ocean, a cracked earth stained red with blood, eyes full of terrifying piles of bones, and above the sky is a divine angel with wings stretched out and wielding a flaming sword.

In the next picture, the angel actually faded his ornate robes, tore his white wings, revealing a hideous appearance, surrounded by huge demons wrapped in iron chains.

At this moment, a man in a purple robe walked out of the corner and clapped his hands and said, "Welcome to His Majesty Anka, or the brave man of destiny, welcome to our stronghold. ”

"You know me?"

"We have seen you countless times through prophecy."

"Another prophecy? Do you only prophesy? ”

"Prophecy is enough, we can know things in advance and intervene in them in time."

Ankh pointed his weapon at him and said, "Surrender! ”

"No, I'm going to die when the silver moon rises into the sky!"

Ankka didn't care, he drew his short bow and shot several arrows, but the other party suddenly disappeared into a cloud of smoke before the arrows could get close to him, and then he reappeared and applauded, "Your reaction is very fast, which is simply great for you as a Destiny Hero." ”

"You don't seem to be worried at all that I'm going to break the stupid prophecy and kill you directly."

"My prophecies are not like those."

"What's the difference?"

He stretched out his arms and shouted at Anka, "Let's give it a try!" The power of my master. ”

Ankka made a few tentative shots and found them useless, then quickly ran in front of him and stabbed him through his body with a sharp blade.

Ankh then kicked him over with a hard kick and quickly dodged more than a dozen meters away.

What Anka didn't expect was that the other party actually got up slowly, took the blood-stained sword in his hand, held it in both hands, and said to Anka: "You can take it yourself!" ”

Anka walked over with confusion, took the sword in his hand, looked at the other party, although he was covered in blood, but still did not react, and asked, "Are you a puppet?" ”

"I am a real human being, not a puppet, I am the first emperor of the once legendary Black Pupil City in the desert, and I came to my master's palace after my death and received this thousand-year-long mission there."

"Is it hell?"

The other party shook his head and said with a wry smile: "It's a pity that you don't know where that perfect power comes from, although I am the creator of these churches, we believe in completely different things, those people only believe in the future about the side of destruction, and I want to do something greater!" I'm guarding the gears of fate. ”

With that, he showed off a pocket watch and said, "This is the tool I use to monitor the gears of fate." ”

Ankh looked at the stalled pocket watch and said, "That seems to be broken." ”

"Yes, because you ended the chaos in the Golden City of Divine Word and disrupted your fate ahead of schedule, and I will restore it with my own hands."

"What do you want?"

"My soul and fate are interconnected, and I will let you kill me to unlock the gears of fate that have come to a standstill."

He looked up at the moonlight above his head and said, "It's time!" ”

With that, he instantly came to Ankka, and Ankka found that his weapon was pinched and stabbed into his heart, and then he stumbled and fell into the water tank, and Ankka went to check only to find that the water tank was only full of scarlet steam.
