Chapter 37: Hidden in the Dark

The capital of the Jatherence Empire, now devoid of its former prosperity, has been replaced by a decadence, restlessness, and the people of the entire city are in constant fear. Bands of Sun Empire troops patrolled the city, their cold gazes sweeping through the crowd as if they were looking for something.

In the palace of Jetalense, the atmosphere inside was even more oppressive, and there was no joy after the victory of the war, and the senior generals of the army knelt on the ground, trembling and looking at the man on the throne.

"Do you know??

He didn't expect any answer from the trashy below who looked like stupid pigs in his eyes, and he continued: "We have captured each other's emperor and each other's prince in a very short time, and now that we have killed each other's emperor and all his royal relatives, then, who can tell me where the other party's prince is?"

"You don't know or don't dare to say it, then let me tell you, the other party's prince has already had tea and chatted at the base camp of the Human Arbitration Council on Creation Island, you tell me, what can I do to kill the other party's prince? As this person spoke, a breathtaking murderous aura emanated from his body, and the entire palace trembled slightly, and he slowly scanned everyone kneeling below with his own eyes, and then stopped his gaze on a person wearing a golden robe and a sun crown on his head, he turned out to be the current Sun Empire Emperor Sam XVII.

"This bixia, I remember that as long as you give me what I want, you can not only fulfill your long-cherished wish for many years, but also make great progress in strength, even if you break through the holy realm and reach the god realm, it is not impossible, but you make me very disappointed, with the support of our huge financial and human resources, the laughing prince of Jetalence has escaped, you are very derelict in your duty. As he spoke, his eyes glowed a strange red, and in an instant he enveloped Sam XVII's entire body.

"Big big big man, spare your life, I, I don't want to die!" Zuihou's voice was already a miserable howl, and he saw that Sam XVII's body was gradually twisting, and a large amount of blood was squeezed out of various parts of his body, and then he turned into a puddle of minced meat.

The man looked at them and smiled, "Don't be afraid, because even if I don't make a move, all of you here won't live to see the sun tomorrow morning, am I right, the gentleman there?"

Everyone raised their heads, looked at the person in fear, and then turned their heads together to look in the other direction, only to see a figure gradually emerge at the gate, a warrior wearing silver armor and carrying a blue two-handed sword behind him appeared there, he looked at the person on the throne, and then looked around at everyone present, and said softly: "It seems that the hall master is right, your Sun Empire has a big problem." ”

"Oh, sir, are you?" asked the man on the throne, still in an unhurried tone.

"I'm the deputy commander of the Valiant Legion of the Temple of War, Asoke Lynch, you can be captured, I can consider not killing you. ”

"Are you so sure you can beat me?" said the man as he suddenly appeared behind Asoke, and a hand covered in unidentified black gas grabbed at the back of his heart.

Asoke disappeared instantly and appeared above the man, he took out his weapon, slashed at Xiangxia, the visible crack in the air accompanied by the whistling wind struck, the man smiled and blocked the sharp sword with his hand, the two collided and burst out brilliant sparks, the shockwave generated instantly tore apart everything around, the entire palace turned into a ruin, and all the officers of the Sun Empire inside died.

The two figures burst out of the ruins, standing in the air and looking at each other, Asoke looked at the black shadow opposite, and then felt his slightly trembling hands, and couldn't help but be surprised in his heart: This person's strength is so strong, on the surface, he is comparable to me, and he is the peak of the ninth order of the Holy Domain, but at the moment when he just fought, I could feel a huge force surging from inside his body, and looking at the other party's eyes, it was like a bottomless abyss, what kind of person is this guy?

"Well, Mr. Asoke, if you can't do anything to me, I'm leaving. ”

"Who are you, and what is your purpose?" asked Asoke.

"Do you think I'll tell you?" the man chuckled softly.

"That can only torture your soul directly. A voice suddenly echoed between the entire heaven and earth, and then, a huge pressure fell from the sky, accompanied by an aura that made it impossible to mention the intention of confrontation, an old man wearing a black robe printed with silver patterns stepped out of a spatial crack, he stood quietly in the air, but it was so overwhelming that everyone in the entire Jetalens, including the man in black, could not raise their heads, and most of the mortals in the city below had already fainted with foaming at the mouth, and even exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

This is definitely the pinnacle of the Human Arbitration Commission, Asoke on the side was not affected by this coercion, he put his right hand on his chest, saluted the old man, and said, "Asoke has seen Lord Morning Star Grande. ”

"Excuse me, Asoke, it seems that your lord is of the same opinion as our speaker. With that, the old man named Morning Star opened his right hand to the man in black, and a huge attraction came out of his palm, and the man in black involuntarily flew towards his palm.

"What kind of magic is this?" shouted the man in black, although he was trying his best to fight, but he was still being sucked in little by little, he gritted his teeth and said, fighting, and then, a monstrous momentum erupted, his whole body was covered with black fighting energy, when he exerted all his strength, he could just resist the attraction of the other party.

And the old man did smile slightly, only to see that ten clockwise rotating silver rays suddenly appeared all over his body, and they accurately hit the man in black at a seemingly slow speed, he suddenly stood upside down, dancing in the air, and the fighting spirit of his whole body also disappeared strangely, and in the following moment, the soul of the man in black was forcibly torn out of his body, and his distorted face was full of unwillingness, and he howled and was sucked into the palm of the morning star. However, Asoke didn't notice that an imperceptible smile appeared on Morningstar's face, as if some kind of trick had succeeded.

"In order to prevent the existence of fish that have slipped through the net, I want to destroy everything below, and the same is true of the Sun Empire, Asoke, you immediately rush to the capital of the Sun Empire and kill all the people inside, I would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let go of a factor that may endanger the entire human race. As he spoke, a rotating silver air mass appeared on his hands, and then he threw the city in front of him, only to see the silver air mass growing larger in the air, and Zuihou reached the point where it could envelop the entire city, and then, everything inside was crushed by the silver energy, and in just a short period of time, the entire capital of Jetalence became a pile of dust, and the millions of people in it were all wiped out. Also suffering was the capital of the Solar Empire, which soon after, was reduced to a sea of fire, in which countless people were burned to ashes and the fire continued to burn for a week.

Dahl and Sherlock, who were still unaware of this, were talking to their teacher at the headquarters of the Martial Alliance, along with Boya and Tuke, two powerhouses of the Sanctuary Realm.

"I'm really sorry, Dahl, we didn't understand the ins and outs of the matter and blindly angered others, it really hurt our bearing as a sanctuary, I'm here to ask you. Hirono, who had calmed down, said to Dahl, there was no shelf in the Sanctuary at all, just like an ordinary old man, which made Dahl embarrassed.

"Don't say that, senior, I can't afford you like this. "A holy realm to oneself a small heaven-level daoqian, if you say this, you have to be wiped out.

"It's okay, silly boy, take this opportunity to blackmail these two old fellows, they have a lot of good things on them. Aban on the side said suddenly, obviously because he was not angry that Tuke had done it to him just now.

Boya and Tuke grimaced at Aban like two little children, and then said with a smile: "Dahl, if it is useful to us two old fellows in the future, just ask." ”

At this moment, a man dressed as a waiter knocked at the door and walked in, and said, "Lord Aban, Lord Jialan, and Master Boya and Master Tuke, the committee has invited Dahl and Mr. Sherlock to come and have something important to tell." ”

"Go, Dahl, I guess it's your empire's business. Aban waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to come over, but when they got there, they heard very bad news.

"I'm very sorry to tell you two that the capital of your motherland Jetalence has been reduced to ruins two days ago, and millions of residents in it have all disappeared, according to our investigation, it is the Sun Empire that has placed at least a Sanctuary-level explosion crystal under the city, and it is a coincidence that on the same day, the capital of the Sun Empire also had a violent explosion, and this matter is still under investigation. A man with a silver mask on his face said.

"You said everyone was dead, didn't you?" said Sherlock, trembling, he really didn't expect the Sun Empire to do such a vicious thing.

"Yes, unfortunately, the Elder of the Magic Council, Lord Morningstar Grande, has personally confirmed that no one is alive, and although the Solar Empire has been punished, their remnants are still there, and the Council recommends that you and Mister Dahl stay here for protection. ”

"Will I stay here as a caged bird? I won't stay, I'm going back to my country, I'm going to avenge my people, I'm going to re-establish my empire of Jetalens!" Sherlock said loudly, but two lines of tears fell from his cheeks.

"In that case, after our investigation, this war is just a grudge accumulated between the Solar Empire and you Gertarence many years ago, and it is a normal national dispute, and our committee cannot interfere, if Mr. Sherlock insists on carrying out the war of restoration, we cannot do anything to help. And, in view of the special nature of this place, please leave here within two days, otherwise you will bear the consequences. With that, the man departed.

Dahl looked at the disdain in the eyes of the man who left, and clenched his fists tightly, but Sherlock said: "Dahl, this is the reason why there is no powerful Liliang, if we are the same as the teacher or have a Liliang that surpasses the teacher, he will never talk to us like this." ”

"Then have you ever thought about how we should do it, reviving a country is not such a simple matter, it is impossible to rely on the two of us alone, and the teachers can't interfere because of the regulations of the mainland. ”

"Dahl, we should still have a force in Jatarens, they are a mysterious army that has been guarding our royal family in the shadows for generations, they did not show up in this war, in that case, they should still be lurking somewhere, I am going to find them, Uncle Freo should know their location. Then I thought, though our empire is gone, our armies cannot all be wiped out, and I am going to gather them together and form the Restoration Army, which I believe are still fighting hard somewhere in Jatarens. Also, Dahl, although I really don't want to involve the loose bosses and them, for us, the wildebeest they have been sacrificed, but now I need everything that can be used liliang, zuihou, I need the influence of the teachers, I will use their names to deter the other party when necessary, zuihou is, I need to improve my strength as soon as possible, I must be promoted to the heavenly rank in the fastest time, I don't know if there is any way?"

"Sherlock, do you know what you're talking about? The most taboo thing we can do is to pull out the seedlings and help them grow, even if you get the extraordinary liliang now, you won't make any progress in the future, it will ruin your life. Dahl said.

Sherlock burst into tears, and he said: " Dahl, as soon as I close my eyes now, it's all like my father and the people of Jatarens, they are crying, they are wailing, they are questioning me Weishenme don't avenge them, because I don't have Liliang, if I have a powerful Liliang like a teacher, things won't be like this, if there is a way for me to reach the Sanctuary now, even if it costs my life, it doesn't matter, as long as I reinvigorate Jatarens, I am willing to pay any price!"

"Sherlock, you have to think clearly, the consequences of this are serious, ...... like this," Dahl continued.

"Shut up! What do you know, do you know, I have been known as the pride of heaven since I was a child, I can learn everything as soon as I learn, and in just ten years, I have changed from an ordinary person to the peak of the ninth order of the earth realm, but when I yujian you, I have no sense of superiority, you are a monster who is more genius than me, in just a few months, you have jumped from the peak of the salvation order like me to the heavenly level in one fell swoop, what kind of speed is this, if I have such qualifications like you, then why can't I enter the holy realm in a short timeSherlock suddenly shouted hysterically, but Dahl didn't expect Sherlock to speak like that.

"Dahl, do you know how much I envy you? When you were just promoted to the Heavenly Rank, I could still find some reasons to persuade myself, but when you went from the first level of the Heavenly Rank to the current Fourth Order, it only took two months, and it took you four stages in two months, what kind of speed is this?" Sherlock became more and more excited as he spoke, while Dahl lowered his head and remained silent.

After a while, Sherlock quieted down, and the two of them stood there motionless for a long time, and when Sherlock was about to speak, Dahl cracked his mouth and said: "Just say what is not pleasant, Sherlock, I'll go back and ask the teachers for advice first, you calm down yourself, so that you can think about it carefully, you have to remember that I am your best friend, and I will support you no matter what you do." With that, Dahl left, and Sherlock stood there bowing his head and saying nothing.

When Dahl left, a figure appeared next to Sherlock, and it was the Morning Star Grande.

"Young man, what are you bothering about?" he said softly to Sherlock.

"This senior, I ......" Sherlock didn't know him, and he didn't know that the person in front of him was the culprit who destroyed his home.

"Is it because of your weakness that you are full of confusion about your future? I can help you. Morningstar said.

"What, senior, are you telling the truth?" Sherlock couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, but his expression darkened again, "However, there is no such simple thing. ”

"You are Sherlock, the prince of Jetalens, I am Morningstar Grande, I brought back the news of your capital, to be honest, the scene there is really terrible, even I, a person who has lived for hundreds of years, have rarely seen such a terrible sight, how many people are screaming in pain, how many people are displaced, it is simply terrible, but the Commission does not allow us to intervene in the war between mortals without permission, and I cannot disobey the orders of the Commission, but this kind of order is really unpopular, if I can, I really want to kill those behind this tragedy, they are not worthy of being called human beings at all. Morningstar said bitterly, but there was a feeling of wanting to laugh in his eyes, but Sherlock couldn't tell it at this moment, and now he was angered again by Morningstar's words.

"Senpai, is there any way you can help me?" said Sherlock firmly, his eyes no longer confused, replaced by a kind of madness.

"Yes, I have a method that allows you to improve your strength in a short period of time, but the cost is very high, are you willing to accept him? If it weren't for the rules, I wouldn't let you use this method, because the consequences of using him are very serious, serious enough to endanger your life. Morning Star's tone suddenly seemed to be much heavier, and he said with some excitement.

"I am willing to bear whatever the cost, as long as I can revive my country, even if it is my life, as long as the banner of the Jatarence Empire can fly on this land again. Sherlock said.

When Sherlock reappeared in front of Dahl, the gloom of the last few days had disappeared, replaced by the smiling face that once had bright sunshine, but what everyone didn't know was that Sherlock had taken his first step towards the abyss of despair.

From the moment Sherlock and Dahl left Genesis Island, Morningstar Grande couldn't help but hahadaxiao, "Hahaha, since you can't get rid of you, then let you destroy yourself, and then destroy this shijie by the way, the great victory of our clan is just around the corner, humanity, now prepare for your countdown, hahahaha!"
