If I'm not mistaken, this is probably the work of the sirens.

"Siren, it's time to lift the seal, right?"

"Ugh! I'm very sorry, but the small ones are lifted! ”

With the Siren's mind lifted, the Scorpio Palace regained its freedom and jumped back to the desolate soil.

While standing back on the ground, the Scorpio Palace also silently put away the scythe made of white hair, turning it back into its original silver-white ponytail.

Looking at the two big men in front of him, the Scorpio Palace calmly observed the two of them. It's not so much about observing the two as staring at the Knicks.

Judging by the Knicks' reaction, it seems that he and the girl are old acquaintances. From the tone of the Nix, it should not be an enemy relationship.

However, the girl's expression was unexpectedly cold, and she didn't even feel a little happy.

Was it because I forcibly brought it back?

After a burst of eye observation, Scorpio Palace first nodded to the Knicks.

"Long time no see, Mistress Nyx."

Although it was full of respectful salutations, the tone seemed to be unwilling.

The Knicks didn't care too much and still giggled as usual.

"yes, yes, that's it, we've been gone for a while."

"But dare I ask what your relationship is with the man next to you?"

"Relationship——, best friend!"

"Really? I didn't expect you to be able to become friends with others, and it seems that you have changed a little in the past few years. ”

"Plain! But then again....... ”

Nix, who has never had a slang, suddenly asked slowly in a serious tone:

"What shall I call you now?"

Scorpio Gong looked at Nix coldly and said three simple words decisively.

"Aloma."

In the early morning of the Black Snake chaos, Flor announced many important matters in the form of a message board.

For Wu, most of the matters have nothing to do with him. But there was one thing that helped him a lot.

Just as Wu had guessed before, the sudden attack caused the academy to suspend classes for a week, so that the tutors and students could return to their hometowns first to heal the pain of this time.

Not only the injuries caused by the fighting, but also the psychological trauma of being betrayed.

It's no wonder, after all, many teachers and students don't know that Black Snake has been infiltrating the St. Goethe-Institut for a long time - and they never thought that those friends who spend time and night are actually enemies from Black Snake.

Of course, there's more to this holiday than that. In the wake of this rebellion, Flor and the student council had to start reorganizing the correct number of tutors and students.

There is no guarantee that the existing teachers and students are innocent, but at this stage, there is no way to easily pull out the remaining minions.

On this day, the carriage in front of the school gate was crowded, and many students and tutors were carrying large bags and small bags, with mixed feelings, ready to go home.

Of course, the dormitories were deserted, with only a few guards patrolling the empty corridors.

On the second floor of the dormitory, the guards tentatively knocked on the door to make sure the room was empty.

After a few knocks, there was no response.

The guards, who had been ordered to inspect it in depth, opened the unlocked door and lit the candles on the table.

Compared with the tutor's dormitory, the student dormitory is a little more crowded.

Simple twin room with twin beds, shared bathroom and a large shared wardrobe.

Small personal desks are placed to the right of the single bed, one of which is emptied, while the other has only a lit candlestick.

The desk drawers and wardrobes were so locked that the guards skipped them.

There was no one in the room, and nothing was left.

The guard picked up the candlestick on the table and left the room. The door was quietly closed and locked.

The room was filled with hollow darkness, and the silence was suffocating.

However, in a certain corner, a small conspicuous flame suddenly ignited.

A figure slowly emerged from the darkness with the faint light of the fire—she stood up and walked to the empty desk with the firelight in her hand.

Opening what appeared to be a locked drawer, she pulled out a small, dark black box from inside.

His trembling hands placed the box lightly on the table and set his eyes on his own hands, which were easily stained blood red by the light of the fire.

To be precise, it should be a "pure white glove".

She gently placed the candle on the table. The faint light flickered twice, and her breathing was very hidden, and her subtle demeanor was imperceptible.

She gently stroked her right hand with her left hand, but let out a sudden gasp sound.

I saw that the pure white glove on my right hand was gently pulled away, and the terrifying scene was also witnessed in the firelight.

The right hand had long since lost its original skin and flesh, with only pale bones and a few remaining nerves.

Until a drop of cold sweat fell, and the box on the table was quietly opened by her.

Everyone gathered in the conference hall behind closed doors, and the atmosphere was really not harmonious.

Wu, Dacis, Kurt, Siren, and the others gathered in the conference hall, all for the silver-haired girl in front of them.

The indifferent silver-haired girl wore only a thick cotton cloth to hide her naked hatchling.

Immature, she crossed her short legs and sat quietly on the ground, observing her surroundings with cold eyes.

A hunter who seems to be hiding in the shadows, her eyes are so sharp that you can't tell that she's just a girl.

The silver-haired girl in front of her, or "Scorpio Palace", is the guardian of the Star Palace sealed in the scythe.

However, the scythe that seals the Scorpio Palace also has a great origin.

"Bewitching Scorpion Tail".

This is exactly the weapon created by the legendary craftsman - Quinterlu.

That's right—the scythe in front of him is the same as the "Lionheart of Steel" held by Grossar, and it was made by Quinterux himself.

Its weapon concept is similar to that of Nicks's coffin, with "Consciousness" sealed as an "object".

The Scorpio Palace, which was suppressed by power, naturally couldn't break free from the scythe's shackles, but she inadvertently injected the gluttonous element - and then absorbed by the Scorpio Palace, and finally helped her break free from the scythe's seal.

This can also explain that in the duel that day, I tried to inject gluttonous elements, and as a result, the scythe showed a slight "vibration" reaction.

But when he first saw this scythe, he didn't realize the true identity of this weapon.

Among the famous weapons created by Kintru, the most famous is the weapon that seals the "Zodiac".

In order to be able to wield the weapons of the zodiac, the weapons must be approved.

Take Grossal's "Lionheart of Steel" as an example -

Lion House - The fifth house belonging to the zodiac, in charge of the "righteous heart of honor".

As a user of the Lion Palace, you must not be a little violent, and you must also fulfill the iron rules of "justice".

However, the Scorpio Palace in front of him has a very different nature from the Lion Palace.

As the eighth house of the zodiac, Scorpio is in charge of the "endless dark side".

Infinitely zooming in on the dark side of humanity – even a little bit is as quick and easy as ink rendering.

It's unclear what qualifications you need to be to use the Bewitching Scorpion Tail, but what is certain is—

This will be the most difficult answer to come to terms in this life.

As the mysterious star palace, the Scorpio Palace has always been the most mysterious patron saint in the zodiac.

Whether it is any literature or ruins, there is usually very little information about the Scorpio Palace, and all of them are the same and illusory legends.

But I don't have to go to great lengths to find out the past of the Scorpio Palace.

Because the Knicks happened to have some holiday with her-

For a long time, each star house had its own galaxy that had to be guarded.

Scorpio is also one of them that serves as the patron saint of the galaxy.

And what she is responsible for happens to be the place where the necromancers are waiting for reincarnation - Pluto.

It just so happened that the owner of Pluto was the Hades who was killed by Nicks himself.

Although it is not clear the exact relationship between Scorpio and the Knicks, judging from the reaction of the two of them just now, there may not be a deep hatred.

Maybe I'll be able to communicate with her through Nix in the future.

After some deep thought, Wu turned his gaze to the side of Kurt and motioned for him to start questioning.

Kurt smiled slightly, turned his gaze to the Scorpio Palace, and began to ask all the questions that Wu had told him earlier.

"First of all, what should I call you by your name? Miss Scorpio. ”

After a moment of silence, the Scorpio Palace raised its eyebrows slightly, as if it was thinking.

Then she pursed her lips and said slowly:

"Aloma."

"I see. So Eloma, I believe that the adult in front of you, you should know some way, right? ”

Alomar stared at Wu for a moment, then nodded and silently responded to Kurt's question.

"Then I'm not going to beat around the bush, I'll just ask a simple and easy-to-understand question - are you willing to work for Lord Gluttony in the future?"

Because the only people in this room are the sirens and Darcis, who already knows the truth, Kurt does not intend to call "gluttony" in a roundabout way.

Alomar pondered calmly again for a moment, and then asked without hesitation:

"If I say no, will you do anything?"

"Of course not."

Kurt chuckled.

The reply seemed to shock the girl with facial paralysis in front of her—she finally showed a little surprise.

After calming down, Aloma stared at Wu in confusion.

"I didn't expect the legendary gluttony to be so friendly......"

"Aloma, this is not about being friendly. It was I who brought you back without permission and let you be attacked by the sirens for no reason. At the end of the day, it's my responsibility, and I have to take responsibility for it. ”

The humble apology caused the sirens on the side to feel guilty, which made her eyes wet and her emotions collapsed.

A superior person topped the black pot for the mistakes made by his subordinates, which really made the sirens who were subordinates feel a burst of self-reproach.

Alomar quietly looked at the gluttony in front of her, not knowing if she was thinking about what she was saying or if she had other plans.

The freezing breath began to freeze the entire silent chamber, and Alomar was silent for nearly five minutes, never replying.

But Wu didn't intend to force Aloma to respond immediately, and calmly waited for a reply.

After a moment of unbearable silence, Elomar finally moved her rosy little lips and teeth.

"I do. But I'm only willing to follow the gluttonous side. ”

"Don't call gluttony directly! Be bigger! ”

The siren roared angrily at Elomar, but Wu also scolded solemnly:

"Sirens! If you don't have anything to do, don't interject at will! ”

"Ahh......h

The wandering siren immediately closed his mouth, held back the tears in the corners of his eyes, and stood quietly aside.

Wu eased the emotions on his face and looked at the new member Eloma with a slightly kind expression.

"Welcome to you, Eloma."

Alomar nodded, acquiescing in the extraordinary encounter.

At this time, Wu waved to the siren on the side, motioning for her to come to his side.

The childish crying face was obviously caused by the frightening sound of his own scolding.

I didn't intend to blame the sirens, but it unexpectedly made her feel guilty-

Holding back the tears like the collapse of the embankment, the small figure slowly approached Wu's side.

"Please—punish me!"

"yes—it's time to punish you."

Wu slowly reached out and leaned towards the siren.

The solemn eyes stared at the sirens, and the aura of being a "king" was dissipating from Wu's gestures.

The sirens closed their eyes tightly, and with a feeling of willingness and relief, they greeted the punishment that followed.

Unexpectedly, everything ended differently than everyone present imagined.

I saw Wu grabbing the siren's shoulder, then holding the siren into his arms, and stroking the top of the siren's head with a gentle palm.

"Gluttony-Lord Gluttony?"

"I'm sorry - I just yelled at you in such a vicious tone, I was scared."

"No - won't ......"

The long-lost breath touched the siren, and the noble and cold Wang Zheng touched his hair lightly with his warm sun-like palm.

It's all so cozy.

This gentle gesture undoubtedly relieved the worry in the siren's heart, and after a while he began to cry.

Kurt and Darcis, who were on the side, were very relieved, and couldn't help but be moved to tears by the intimate scene in front of them.

Only Alomar in front of her showed an expression of disbelief.

The once fierce and aggressive Realm Source God could have such a true temperament-

Could it be that all this was changed by this fierce beast in front of him, gluttony?

There was an imperceptible longing in those incomprehensible eyes, as if he didn't want to be discovered.

After some reassurance, Wu tapped on the top of the siren's head and looked at Eloma in front of her.

"Alright, Siren, you should do something to Elomar, right?"

"Yes......"

The siren wiped tears from her face, suppressed her choked tone, and bowed earnestly to Elomar.

"I'm so sorry that I attacked you because of my willfulness, I hope you can forgive me."

"No—it's fine."

His calm face became a little alarmed by the siren's apology.

Wu smiled, looked at Eloma with a little relief, and said in a satisfied tone:

"Welcome to you, Eloma, then."

"Well—"

At the same time, the sound of the guards reporting came from outside the door.

"Lord Fortes, the representative sent by Lord Nine Dogs has arrived in Smokal."

"Is that just right, then everyone should greet me too."

"Yes!"

At this time, Wu looked at Eloma and said:

"By the way, Eloma, you'll call me Fortes from now on. It's okay if you don't want to call me an adult, but you must abide by it. ”

"Okay."

Aloma nodded and agreed to Wu's request.

At the gate of the towering city wall, a hunchbacked old man was quietly waiting for Wu's arrival.

A convoy of chariots and horses, carrying heavy diamond coins, was handed over to the guards at the city gate for inventory under the arrangement of the old man.

Soon after, Kui Yong walked out of the city gate with several of his subordinates and personally greeted the old man.

In front of the tall and tall Kui Yong, the shrunken old man was not even half of Kui Yong's height.

A dark green cloth robe made of high-grade silk was worn under the old man's body, looking loose.

There are two white whiskers next to his cheeks, long pale hair is scattered on his thin shoulders, and the wrinkles of countless years are all over his face, but the sharp dragon eyes are not affected by the whole body of old age.

Kui Yong stood straight in front of the old man, and a slightly surprised tone came from within the armor.

Without hesitation, he bowed to the old man to express his respect.

"I didn't expect Jiugou Luo to send such a great figure as you to come."

The kind and dignified face smiled disapprovingly, and tapped Kui Yong's helmet.

It was rare for that powerful black knight to be knocked on his helmet by an ordinary old man.

This move undoubtedly frightened the guards behind Kui Yong and hurriedly stopped them, but Kui Yong took the initiative to reach out and stop the guards' actions.

"Stand down, I have something I want to discuss with this lord."

"Yes—yes."

The old man looked around at the scene inside the city walls and couldn't help but sigh:

"I didn't expect that guy to establish a country in the world."

"Yes."

The old man smiled with satisfaction, as if the scene in front of him was beyond his imagination.

"By the way, Kui Yong, I have something I want to ask you."

Kui Yong asked in a low voice.

"Just ask."

"Thank you very much. What should I call you, please? ”

"Well...... After all, Lord Jiugou Luo also lives incognito, maybe I should also think of a name. ”

The old man showed a thoughtful expression, and then suddenly said:

"Nihogg—so be it."

"Is that good? This kana is only one word away from your real name. ”

"It doesn't matter, people in this era are all worried about that guy's name, who will know about my little evil dragon."

Kuiyong let out a worried sigh, as if worried about what the future would bring.

As soon as the conversation changed, Nihogg put away his kind smile and muttered with a serious face:

"By the way, Kui Yong, I hope you don't call me with honorifics, I am no longer the dragon of the troubled times of the past, just a little servant who stayed under Lord Jiugou Luo to help."

"This ......"

"Alright, okay, so be it. From now on, it's good to call me by my pseudonym, so that it doesn't attract too much attention. ”

"Yes."

Kuiyong bowed deeply again, causing Nihog to murmur helplessly:

"Not only the tone, but also the demeanor......"

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps in the distance, gradually approaching the direction of Nihog and Kuiyong.

Nihogg could see the figure in front of him at a glance.

"You must be Mr. Fortes, right?"
