Luo Mu and the three of them continued to set off very early, and when the three of them set off from Hurlis, they were three days late because of Luo Mu's injury, and they were also delayed for some time on the road, and according to Igniz's request, the three of them had little time left.

According to the route in Luo Mu's vague memory, the three of them entered the vast forest outside Maryland City, it was late autumn at the moment, and the towering trees in the forest were falling leaves by the wind, and under the paving of the leaves, the potholed dirt road in the forest was also a lot smoother, and from the gap between the trees, only a small sky could be seen, perhaps because of the endless sea ahead, even if it was just a small piece, it seemed to be a few points higher than the sky in the rows of Hurlis.

Bank waved the horsewhip gently, Luo Mu and Miao Yun sat in the carriage and no one spoke, but it could be seen that Miao Yun's eyes had been spinning on a pair of white dancing shoes that had appeared out of thin air beside Luo Mu, and she could know from Miao Yun's slightly open mouth countless times that she really wanted to choke Luo Mu's neck and asked him viciously, "Who is she?!" But Miao Yun held back every time.

Ash was lying at Luo Mu's feet, looking at Miao Yun with blank eyes, Miao Yun absentmindedly held a piece of apple, Ash couldn't help it anymore, arched Miao Yun's arm with his head, Miao Yun hurriedly fed another piece to Ash Ash's mouth, and Ash Ash chewed the apple and lay down in enjoyment.

Luo Mu held the letter from Igniz this morning and looked at it, the speed of the burial army was much faster than he imagined, and Ke Rui, who was riding a white horse, held a huge pale bow and crossbow nearly two people high, and actually pierced the thick city wall of Shencheril directly with an arrow, and countless demons launched an attack on Shencheril along the hole without counting casualties, and it was only a matter of time before Shencheril was breached.

Luo Mu couldn't help but feel a rare urgency in his heart, Luo Mu rubbed his eyebrows and put down the letter, Igniz kept attacking Corvo all the time, Luo Mu knew very well in his heart that if Igniz really broke through Hellis and included the entire Corvo in his bag, then it would be almost impossible to stop the attack from hell.

This crisis may be more aware of other empires than Luo Mu, but Igniz's incredible speed of progress has left all countries without time to react, and the current precarious situation is not for Corvo alone, the whole world has been cast a black shadow, and Corvo is only the first to bear the brunt.

"What am I going to do?" Luo Mu asked himself this question countless times, in the battle with Adams, Luo Mu knew that his strength was really vulnerable in front of a truly powerful person, Adams didn't even make a superfluous attack, but he could put Luo Mu and die in an instant, and the insurmountable class gap of the soul master made Luo Mu, who had never been afraid, feel a little helpless.

Adams is just the first level of the Soul Lord, so what kind of situation will the Soul Lord middle-level, high-level, and even the Soul King and Soul Saint be? Luo Mu knows very well that at the level of Adams, even if he ascends a small step, it may take many years of accumulation and indescribable opportunities to do it, and what each small step can bring is no longer a simple surge in soul power, but represents a qualitative leap in strength.

However, what made Luo Mu feel a little relieved was that judging from Igniz's letter, only he was summoned to the coast of the Koster Sea of the four knights representing Igniz's strongest combat power in the world, and the other three were all fighting bloodily on the front line of the burial army, but Luo Mu himself knew that his strength was not a qualified member of the four knights at all, and part of the power he should have obtained was taken by Cassiopeia, and the other part that should have been brought to him by Ash was not realized.

The strength that Soul Qi can bring has been exerted to the limit by Luo Mu, but now he still has a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart, what can he do like this, although he thinks like this, Luo Mu's eyes are still firm, even if there is death in front of him, but he has never taken a step back.

The three of them had been in this forest for nearly five hours, and in front of them was Qinghe.

Bank, who was sitting outside the carriage, gradually frowned, the three of them set off from Maryland in the early morning, and now it should be noon, but the more they walked, the darker the sky became, and there were no deep clouds in the sky, but the sun's rays seemed to be unable to shine on this area at this moment, and suddenly a crystal snowflake floated on Bank's face, Banker looked up, the three of them had walked out of this forest, Banker pulled the reins slightly, and the carriage stopped on a slightly high hillside, and in the distance was Luo Mu's hometown, Qinghe.

Luo Mu lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked down, he left here forever in one night, he thought that he would never come back for this life.

Luo Mu looked forward, the town in his memory had long disappeared, only a vast flat ground remained, and the three of them seemed to have stepped into another cold winter world, the sky was sprinkled with snowflakes, and the sight was full of silver, white and boundless, and the sun actually disappeared, there was a huge full moon hanging in the sky, the moon seemed to have touched the sea, and on the sea, before the moon, there was a towering huge black castle, the castle had two symmetrical Gothic roofs, and the pointed roof seemed to be about to pierce the overflowing moon。

And on the coast, a wide black bridge leads out of thin air to the black castle, and every few hundred meters on both sides of the bridge are a pair of extremely high minarets, the minarets are also black, and the top is hung with crystal white snowflakes, and the world seems to have never had four seasons, but is always a dead and silent winter.

Words can't describe the shock in the hearts of the three of them, is this really the quiet Qinghe town in the past? Miao Yun jumped out of the carriage, hugged his arms and shivered, but as soon as he looked forward, his pupils were also dilated suddenly, and he couldn't make a sound anymore, and Gray Gray jumped down behind Miao Yun, but Gray seemed to like this environment very much, it was as cold as Luo Mu's body temperature, it kicked the snow on the ground, and made a few humming sounds with some pleasure.

Luo Mu looked ahead again, didn't say anything, then raised his feet and walked forward, this space was very quiet, the footsteps of the three people left a long series of footprints on the snow, but in an instant it was covered by the snowflakes fluttering in the sky, and in an instant the three of them came to the bridge, just at the very edge of the coast, where the bridge began, two heavy gate towers are located on both sides of the bridge, the gate towers are also extremely deep black, and the two gate towers also have high spire towers, between the two gate towers there are countless thick black iron chains connected, the iron chains have been covered with thick snow, but they are still slightly shaken by the wind blowing from nowhere, making a sonorous sound when colliding.

Approaching the sea, Luo Mu could clearly see that the sea at this moment had been frozen with a thin layer of ice floe, just when the three of them were standing in front of the black bridge, a person wearing a black robe who couldn't see his face suddenly appeared, he seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, the black robe was full of snowflakes, he looked up slightly, then lowered his head, stretched out his hand and made a gesture to invite in, Luo Mu nodded slightly, the black-robed man crossed his hands, the index fingers and thumbs of both hands formed a narrow circle, and the remaining six fingers stretched out straight to both sides, which was the symbol of Ignatz, the black-robed man said in a low voice"Lucifer!"

Luo Mu and the three of them also made gestures in general, and whispered, "Lucifer!" Just when Luo Mu shouted this syllable again after many years, the seeds of faith that had been suppressed in his heart for several years began to sprout again, which made Luo Mu feel in a trance for a moment, but the white mark on the back of Luo Mu's neck lit up slightly, and the familiar heat flow actually spread from there to the limbs, making Luo Mu wake up.

Miao Yun felt Luo Mu's strangeness, and got a few closer to Luo Mu, Luo Mu shook his head and stepped on the bridge, at the moment when the three of them stepped on the bridge, countless voices like babies crying and like demons roaring suddenly exploded in the ears of the three people, but the minds of the three of them were already extraordinary, just moving forward on the black bridge, the more they moved towards the tall black castle, the more they could feel its huge sense of oppression, as if this was a huge demon from the deepest part of hell, and the three of them even seemed to be able to feel the feeling of being watched by hideous blood-colored pupils。

Walking in front of the black castle, a pointed huge city gate stood in the middle of two Gothic towering black towers, the huge city gate was only about half of the black tower, but it was also hundreds of zhang high, standing in front of this city gate at this moment, even the upper part of the black tower on both sides could not be seen, Janus was standing in front of the city gate, still wearing the luxurious gray double-breasted tuxedo that the three men wore when they first met him, he looked at the three of them with his hands behind his back, and said, "Please come in"

Janus stepped aside, raised his hand slightly, and the black door quietly opened a gap backwards, and there was a violent yellow light in the door, accompanied by the yellow light and foggy white gas, Luo Mu nodded, and walked in through the huge door, Miao Yun and Banker followed Luo Mu and walked in, after entering, the door closed silently, revealing the huge black castle in front of Luo Mu and the three of them with extremely gorgeous decoration, the huge gorgeous chandelier illuminated the house transparently, and when you entered the gate, it was a very spacious hall, and countless huge pillars that reached the castle dome stood on both sides of the hall。

At this moment, there were hundreds of black-robed people standing in the castle, and the black-robed people were standing on both sides of the hall with their hands tied, and in front of the hall in the far distance, there was a huge high platform, on which was placed a very gorgeous throne, the back of the throne was several meters high, and the throne was covered with the fur of unknown animals, and the whole throne seemed to be made of one, and there was no place to connect, and the places that could be seen were inlaid with brilliant gems.

In the lower left corner of the high platform stood an old man, the old man was also wearing a black robe, but the old man took off his hood, revealing an old face full of wrinkles, but the old man's eyes were extremely bright, and they were still dazzling in this bright hall, the old man's eyes were not half white, they were all black, he saw the three of them walk into the door, and said in a low voice, "Let's start"

Then, all the men in black bowed their heads towards the throne, raised their arms above their heads, crossed their hands into a gesture symbolizing Lucifer, the old man also bent down deeply, Miao Yun and Bank hurriedly walked to the side of the hall when they saw this, and only Luo Mu was left in the center of the entire hall, and everyone shouted "Lucifer!"

The hall was too huge, and this syllable brought a huge echo in the hall, accompanied by the voices of all the black-robed people, countless gray rays of light escaped from the hundreds of black-robed people, forming a huge gray air mass, heading straight towards the throne, and when this gray light appeared, the hundreds of black-robed people actually dissipated like dust at the same time, leaving only the old man on the side of the high platform.

The throne erupted with huge energy after absorbing the light cluster, and Luo Mu, who was blown by the cyclone brought by the energy explosion, blocked it with his arms, still unable to open his eyes, and after a while, the energy gradually subsided, but Luo Mu bowed his waist deeply after just looking at it, and at this moment a figure actually appeared on the throne, the figure was not an entity, fluctuating slightly, but it still did not affect the momentum that mortals would never reach, as if as soon as he appeared, everyone would be willing to call him king.

The figure was dressed in a gray-white royal robe, his skin was crystal pale, he had blonde hair that was combed back extremely neatly, the figure had an extremely handsome face, every part of the face was almost perfect, he leaned on the throne a little lazily, one arm bent, supporting the side of his cheek, his name still did not dare to be mentioned casually by the high heavens.

Lucifer had an indescribable faint smile on his face, but the arrogance seemed to go deep into the bone marrow, he lowered his eyelids slightly, and looked at Luo Mu, who bowed deeply in the center of the hall.
