Chapter Forty-Eight: No, I'll Go
As a large warship with a total length of nearly 100 meters and a crew of 150 people, the Joyful Day has a large cabin that contains many areas such as life, training, entertainment, and control.
During the two hours from take-off to arrival, Manju Sawa roamed the area, and the more she visited, the more she liked the ship, especially the interior decorations, which had a very unique aesthetic.
When Xu Yue finally found her in the cabin, the other party was in a large golden hall, looking at a tall statue standing in the center of the hall with great interest.
This is a typical male angel statue, and the image is supposed to be a reference to the founding emperor of the World Human Empire in the Dragon Nest, the Knight King Cassius I.
The skill of the carver is very good, the handsome and majestic majesty of the knight king is perfectly expressed, combined with the holiness and transcendence of the angel's wings, so that the temperament of the whole statue is particularly outstanding and unforgettable.
Noticing the sound of heavy footsteps behind him, Manzhu Sawa turned to look at Xu Yue, who was approaching, and pointed to the angel statue in the center of the hall and said:
"Give me this statue, and I'll introduce you to the master of the Divine Forging Kingdom, how about it?"
Xu Yue glanced at the statue in front of him and nodded lightly.
"Deal."
"I'll talk about the deal later, the hidden mountain has arrived."
……………
Hidden Mountain, located on the west side of the capital of the Xuanwu Kingdom, is the true headquarters of the Shadow Order, and is also the permanent residence of the leader of the Shadows.
"You wait outside the hall first, I'll go to the chief first, don't walk around~"
Outside the gate of the headquarters, Manzhu Sawa greeted Xu Yue, and after seeing his nod, he walked towards the door.
Behind him, Xu Yue stood quietly in place, watching the back of Manzhu Sawa in front of him slowly blocked by a cold black iron giant door, and through the cold moonlight sprinkled overhead, Xu Yue began to carefully look at the headquarters of the Shadow Organization called Hidden Mountain.
The Hidden Mountain is indeed a tall mountain range, and the headquarters of the Order is built in the belly of the mountain, and the cold black iron gate is also directly embedded in the mountain, and there is no excessive decoration in addition to it, and the environment of this headquarters is more in line with the Assassin's hidden and cold style than the Hidden Street.
The Hidden Mountain is black in color, there is not much vegetation attached to the body surface, it is full of jagged and sharp strange rocks, and the location is also desolate and abnormal, and the overall environment is very similar to that of the Black Mountain in the previous world.
However, compared to the lively Black Mountain, which is full of monsters, it is much more deserted here, from Xu Yue's arrival to the present, it is clear that there are mountains and forests not far away, but he has not even heard a birdsong.
Waiting time passed minute by minute, and even the moonlight slowly draped a layer of white veil on him, as if he wanted to isolate him from the continuous overflowing coldness at the foot of the mountain, and when the white veil was stopped by the dark clouds floating overhead, the hidden mountain in front of him finally changed.
"Squeak~"
With the harsh grinding sound of metal and rock walls, the black iron gate embedded in the mountain slowly opened, but out of the door was not the previous Manju Sawa Hua, but a woman in a purple robe and a demon mask.
The woman's hands were folded flat in her long sleeves, her feet suspended a few inches above the ground, the servant of the Shadow Leader, who had been following the leader and was responsible for moving between the various Shadow Assassins, but no one but the leader knew what he was doing under his mask.
This information was told to him by Manju Sawa on the way to the Hidden Mountain, perhaps because of the previous statue deal, and the woman revealed a lot of information about the headquarters to him along the way, including a basic introduction to the leader and several Shadow Assassins.
After the servant walked out of the gate, his figure flickered, and he suddenly appeared in front of Xu Yue, his movement speed was not much different from that of the white bird, and there was no sound of breaking the air in the process, which was extremely weird.
In place, Xu Yue's face was calm, and even the servant's almost teleportation ghostly speed did not cause his eyes to fluctuate in the slightest.
Through the six slender slits on the demon mask, the servant stared at Xu Yue for a moment, and then lowered his head slightly, and a rather pleasant female voice came out from under the mask.
"Chief, please, please come with me."
After seeing Xu Yue's head, the servant didn't say more, but directly turned around and led the way, this time the speed was normal to move forward, and the previous sudden flickering was just to simply test Xu Yue's reaction.
Looking at the suspended back of the servant in front of him, Xu Yue slowly followed, this servant seemed to be a martial arts master with excellent skills, but he who had understood the plot of course knew the details of the other party.
All the performances of the other party do not rely on martial arts true qi, but out-and-out technology, even if this servant behaves like a human being, its essence is a high-density robot produced in the country of Sturt.
Although Xu Yue has not yet been to this country that can stand side by side with the Xuanwu Kingdom, just from the ghostly speed and wisdom performance of this robot, it can be seen that the scientific and technological level of that country is so powerful.
At the entrance, as the two people entered the corridor on the side of the mountain, the black iron gate behind him automatically closed, Xu Yue's eyes suddenly darkened, and after a while, it quickly lit up, and on the torches lined up on both sides of him, purple flames began to spread forward, dispelling the darkness in the corridor inch by inch.
'Dark alleys, dark old, demon-fearing. ’
At the moment when darkness fell, a strange old man carrying a gong immediately appeared in Xu Yue's mind, the feeling he felt when the darkness descended was the same as the previous dark alley, remembering the demon-fearful possession shown in the dark old information, and then thinking of the shadow leader's signature martial arts-the Blade of Fear, Xu Yue's eyes closed slightly.
It was you. ’
The thoughts in his mind kept churning, but Xu Yue's footsteps did not change at all, and he calmly followed behind the servant leading the way in front of him, and walked towards the depths of the corridor.
The road is very long, except for Xu Yue's footsteps along the way, there is no other movement, the servant who leads the way does not have any footsteps and heartbeats, the strange suspended posture and the demon mask faintly visible on the side make her like a demon leading the way from hell, and the long dark corridor also seems to have become a narrow tunnel to hell under the background of such an atmosphere.
The emotions of panic and hesitation began to breed in the bottom of his heart together with the purple flames that kept swaying on the rock wall, but the strange thing was that Xu Yue's eyes like water were still dull, and he couldn't see any emotion.
At this time, Xu Yue's feelings were extremely magical, he could sense all kinds of fears that were rapidly growing in his heart, they were roaring and attacking reason, trying to stop him or run away.
But under the protection of the spiritual barrier, his reason was like a god on high, isolated from all emotional influences and interferences, and coldly looked at the boiling and roaring thoughts under his feet, but they seemed so powerless and insignificant.
………
In the Hall of Shadows, the leader sits on the Throne of Skeletons, followed by six Shadow Assassins in different costumes.
At this time, the group of seven people all looked up at the light curtain in front of them, which showed Xu Yue who was walking unhurriedly in the corridor.
The leader sitting on the throne looked at Xu Yue's performance in the light curtain and bowed slightly.
"Good will."
"Who's going to try him?"
The next figure with a double knife at his waist was the first to stand up and said:
"I'll go......"
But before he could finish speaking, a long black whip had already struck from the opposite side, whipping in front of his first step.
"No, I'll go."
