Craster was so enchanted by this illusion that he seemed to see a whole new world, one that was both curious and terrifying, but the power contained in it was absolutely powerful. For the first time, Krast knew that there was something more powerful beyond the world, and that his so-called power was nothing to mention in the face of such power.

The black-robed old man had come to Craster's face at some point, and he stared at Craster's eyes tightly and said, "How is it? ”

Krast nodded with difficulty, and said in a hoarse voice, "That's right, this is the real power, please lend me this power." I'm going to kill the Holy Army and all those who betrayed me, hehe......"

The black-robed old man said: "Of course I can lend it to you, I came here to save you, but you have to promise one thing, otherwise you should kill yourself with that sword." ”

"What...... Conditions?" Craster asked hesitantly, knowing that the price must be not small, and he wondered if he could afford it.

"I want you to be my master's servant, and if you agree to this condition, you will immediately have this power that the world fears. The old man's tone was full of seduction, like an adult tempting a child with candy.

"When...... Your minions?" asked Kraster, his eyes wide.

"No, not my servant, it's my master. The old man corrected.

Craster looked at the old man with frightened eyes and asked, "Who is your master?"

"My lord is the Lord of Darkness, the Lord of All, and it is your good fortune to serve my Lord with your humble life. When the old man spoke of his master, his tone was suddenly full of pride.

Craster listened to him say so mysteriously, and he didn't believe it a little in his heart, but the power that the old man showed him was real. Just as he was hesitating, the old man suddenly raised his voice and said, "What? Are you still suspicious? Okay, then you just wait for the Holy Sect Army to attack and kill all your family members and take away your kingdom!"

The old man's words instantly rekindled Craster's anger, and his chest rose and fell violently, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I will not spare them! I will listen to you! Lend me your strength!"

"Hehe, that's right. Remember your anger, it will give you strength, and soon those people will become ghosts, and the world belongs to darkness after all. The old man sneered grimly.

Kraster's eyes lit up and he asked, "What should I do now?"

The old man said, "Come with me, and I will take you to bow down to your master, and he will give you strength." As he spoke, the old man drew a circle in the air with his right hand, and a black smoke ring suddenly appeared in the room.

The black smoke ring expanded rapidly, like a round door, and in the smoke ring it was pitch black and deep, like a bottomless void. The old man said to Krast, "Go in, and from here you can reach the darkness." ”

Kraster hesitated slightly, then stepped into the pitch-black space, and then the old man walked in as well. The black smoke rings quickly dissipated, leaving no trace.

The ministers were anxiously waiting for the king in the council chamber, originally they thought that the king just wanted to calm down, but they did not expect that after going for so long and not returning, everyone could not help but start talking secretly.

"Why hasn't Your Majesty come back yet?"

"Nothing will happen, will it?"

"Don't guess, Your Majesty is probably pondering......"

"But...... It's not a way to delay like this, so you have to come up with some countermeasures. ”

"Otherwise, send someone to invite Your Majesty......"

The sky was already slightly white, and the anxious courtiers finally lost their patience, and they summoned a guard and told him to go and see where His Majesty was. The guards took the order, and inquired about the ladies of the court, only to say that the king had not come out since he had entered the bedchamber.

The guards did not dare to knock directly on the door of the king's chambers, so they went to the chief of the palace and told the matter again. The governor of the palace also knew that this was an extraordinary time, so he led the guards to the door of the king's bedchamber.

"Knock knock......" The palace chief knocked on it, but there was no sound in it. The steward and the guard looked at each other, and then continued to knock on the door, and after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and then both of them became a little nervous.

"Your Majesty must be too anxious and sick?" the steward could not help but worry, he plucked up his courage, and then shouted at the door: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, are you in there?

The steward tiptoed into the king's bedchamber, only to see that everything was normal in the chamber, and that King Kraster was not in the house at all. The court governor secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to leave the dormitory, but accidentally saw a short sword lying on the ground. The chief manager picked up the short sword and looked at it, and was taken aback, this is the sword that the king never leaves his body, why is it thrown here, where has the king gone?

The chief of the court was so distraught that he hurried to the council chamber with his sword and the guards. He found the Prime Minister, handed the sword to the Prime Minister, and then whispered, "Your Majesty has dropped this sword, and people do not know where it has gone." ”

"What!" the Prime Minister was so frightened that he almost jumped up, of course he was so important that His Majesty the King dropped this sword, there must be something big going on, and now is an extraordinary time for the King to have an accident!

The Prime Minister did not dare to be arbitrary now, so he summoned all the people in the council chamber to his side, and then told them to go separately to find His Majesty. When they heard this, they became anxious, and hurried out in groups of three or five to find the king. The Prime Minister also brought in the Janissaries and asked them to join in the search for the King.

Soon the whole palace knew the news, and everyone's hearts were full of anxiety, if the king had another accident at the time of life and death, it would really be even worse. The king's family didn't care about any rules, and made an exception to allow the Praetorian Guards to enter the harem to search, and the whole palace was suddenly in chaos.

Now that the palace is besieged by a large army, it is impossible for the king to run outside the palace, the greatest possibility is somewhere in the palace, many people secretly speculate in their hearts, His Majesty must be hiding in some corner, the palace is so big, it is too easy to hide someone.

They searched all the corners, and found no sign of the king. At this time, everyone was really panicked, the king disappeared inexplicably, this is something that has never happened, many people think that the Holy Cult Army has infiltrated the palace and kidnapped the king, but some people think that this possibility is not very likely, the king is probably hiding in a secret room.

In order to find the whereabouts of the king, after the joint discussion between the queen and the prime minister, the underground secret room of the royal palace was opened as an exception, but there was still no trace of the king inside. This result disappointed everyone, and for a time the whole palace was panicked, and everyone couldn't help but have a guess in their hearts: the king should not have fled quietly, there may be some secret escape in the palace, and the king has escaped through the secret passage.

It is not surprising that everyone thinks like this, and the rumor that there is a secret escape passage in the palace is nothing new on the mainland, and it is indeed reasonable, but some high-ranking people do not think so. If the king wanted to flee secretly, why didn't he bring his family with him, and he also threw down his sword, it doesn't make sense.

But no one can explain why the king disappeared like this, and at such a critical moment, it was all too strange.

At dawn, everyone had to give up the search for the king, the whole palace had been searched, and the queen made it clear that she did not know what secret passages the palace had, and it seemed that the king's whereabouts were destined to become a mystery for some time.
