Chapter 20: Atonement (3)
In heraldry, the eagle represents insight, courage, strength and immortality, and is also regarded as the king of the sky, the transmitter of God's message, this kind of heraldry is not uncommon on the Pingzhi continent, but the most famous one that can use the double-headed eagle as a national symbol is the Kapeln that historians call the "Lost Country".
But Luo Mu didn't know the true name of the Lost Country until now, and it seems that this name is accompanied by some kind of curse or taboo, whether it is in the history books or on the textbooks of various classes, it is simply mentioned with the name of "Lost Country".
However, Luo Mu had seen the country's unique double-headed eagle national emblem on Igniz's information, and only then did he recognize Kapeln.
According to historical records, Capeln was a rich vassal state of the Discart Empire, although the country is not large, and even the land is not as large as a large city in Discart, but the people here are ingenious and extremely united, the armor and weapons produced by Capeln are not only of high quality, but also have extremely exquisite workmanship, and the soldiers of Discart are proud to have a Carpeln weapon, and Capeln's handicrafts are famous throughout the Discart Empire.
Capeln was vassalized with one of the most powerful empires in the world, so naturally there was no need to worry about any war, in that era, only the Discatel Empire sent troops to invade others, and Capeln in order to facilitate business, and even in the long years of evolution, the walls of the royal city were built into more convenient low walls, coupled with the hospitality of the people of Capeln and the superior geographical location, at that time there were always people in the Discart Empire who said that Capeln was the most suitable country for retirement.
But this rich and comfortable country suddenly disappeared from this world one day.
It is rumored that the armor made by Capeln for the Disney royal family went wrong, and was directly destroyed by the violent king of Disney overnight, but more people don't believe this reason at all, because although the Disney Empire has been invaded and evil, but Discart is also an extremely protective country, at least before Capeln, no one has heard of the vassal country being slashed by the sword of the Disney royal family.
However, the royal family of Discart never came forward to explain this matter, but remained silent, and historians were also vague and secretive about this history, but the fall of Capeln directly led to panic among other vassal states of Discat, and even some vassal states took advantage of this momentum to incite other vassal states to break away from the control of Discat.
In the end, although Discart did not explain the whole story of Capeln, he really used thunderous means to bloodied those vassal states that were about to move, so that they were completely demoralized, and it was this historical development that made the name "Lost Country" remain on history, as a means for historians to criticize Discat's violent regime.
But at this moment, Luo Mu stood on the steps of the palace in Kapeln, looking at the corpses that gradually got up in the town after the wind and snow stopped, and he knew that whether it was rumors or records, it was just a means to deceive the people, and too many things were buried here.
At this moment, in the distance, just after Luo Mu left the mark after leaving the ruined town, Frodic was bending down to check the mark left by Luo Mu.
Frodic had already taken off his coat and draped it on Qiu's body, at this moment he was wearing a pair of crisp trousers and a pure white shirt, although in this snowy world, Frodik's collar was still casually spread, and at this moment he was half-squatting on the ground, and the white shirt was pulled out of an impactful arc by the back.
Autumn stood behind Flodick, Frodice handed the coat to her naturally not because he was afraid of the autumn cold, but the baby who was saved by the two of them fought hard was held in Autumn's arms, Autumn and Frodice have abundant soul power to protect their bodies, naturally not afraid of the cold, but the baby can't, Frodike's coat wrapped Autumn and the baby in it, and at this moment Autumn only showed a face at the collar of the coat.
Qiu's cold expression seemed to be diluted a lot by the slightly cute movements at the moment, and it was also possible that Frodich's sacrifice to save him just now made Qiu really believe in the teammate in front of him.
This world is actually not big, and there are boundaries, after the two of them left the avalanche, with Autumn's ability to control snow and ice, there was no way to get lost at all, and the two kept moving in one direction, and finally came here.
The mark left by Luo Mu was fixed on the ground with the residual soul power, and a line of words was written on it, briefly describing the experience and whereabouts of the two, and Frodich could judge from the degree of escape of soul power that Luo Mu and Sireth had not been away for a long time, only about a day or two.
Frodic stood up and looked at Qiu, but was stunned by Qiu's rare appearance at the moment, Qiu frowned a little strangely and asked, "What did you write?"
Frodic scolded himself a few times and said, "They went to the other side of the road, and Luo Mu also asked us to be careful about the people sitting around the fire, but the specific situation was not very clear."
Cho nodded and said, "Then let's meet them quickly" Frodic nodded, looked at the ruins in the distance, frowned slightly, and said, "Don't you go over there to see? I think this ruin is extraordinary."
Qiu looked at the words written by Luo Mu, shook his head and said, "Since Luo Mu can leave a word here, it means that he must have entered the ruins, since he didn't stay here, then either there is nothing in this ruin, or there is danger here."
Frodic glanced at Autumn with a little surprise, Autumn slightly gathered his clothes and looked down at the baby in his arms, the baby seemed to have been subjected to some kind of technique, and had been in a coma, but Autumn carefully examined, the baby's body did not have any abnormalities, it seemed that he was just asleep.
Autumn glanced at the baby, then walked in the direction of the main road, and said as he went, "Go find them, find them, and you will know everything."
Frodice raised his eyebrows, didn't say anything, looked at Qiu's back with interest, and followed, but just as the two were about to move forward, the huge bell rang loudly, and with the bell, the wind and snow in this world suddenly stopped.
At the same time, there was a dense rustling sound in the ears of the two, and Qiu and Frodic were immediately alert, although the two of them only encountered those humanoid demons during the avalanche along the way, and Qiu also used the avalanche to solve them, but both of them knew that this world would definitely not be so easy and simple, and the bell at this moment obviously symbolized what happened!
The sound of squirming seemed to come from the surrounding snow, and it also seemed to come from under the ground, Qiu and Frodic were on guard for a moment, the squirming did not stop, but nothing happened, Qiu and Frodic glanced at each other, and both understood each other's meaning, this bell is very likely to be related to Luo Mu, and something must have happened ahead.
The two of them flashed, and they had already used their fastest speed to rush in that direction.
And at this moment, in the ice cave in the middle of nowhere, Sean and Polly are still walking, the ice cave here does not know what the structure is, and the two now understand that they should be underground, but they don't know whether it is the reflection of the light from the outside world, or the ice wall itself will glow, although it is extremely dim, but at least they can see the road clearly.
Sean took a few steps forward and came across another three-way crossing, and at a glance he saw that all three forks had marks left by his own entry, and Sean suddenly collapsed.
Sean sat directly on the ground and shouted, "Fuck me! Where the hell is this!!It's okay to hit me with someone!! what does this mean?!"
Polly seemed to have already experienced a breakdown, but at the moment she seemed very calm, her eyes were closed, her mental power was escaping from all around, and she said coldly, "Get up, go"
Sean glanced at Polly, leaned against the wall and said, "Sister, we've been walking for at least three days and three nights, I suspect there is no exit here!" Polli didn't make a sound, this is not the first time Sean has collapsed, and at this moment Polly is indeed wondering where the two are and whether there is really an exit.
Sean was still lying on the ground, thinking, "Usually Brother Luo Mu takes the idea, what can I do now, if I go out on another mission in the future, I will definitely hold my thighs and never let go!"
And at this moment, the roaring bell suddenly rang in the ice cave, Sean stood up suddenly, this was the first time in a few days that the two of them heard a sound other than the footsteps of the two, Polly didn't react, but saw Sean's expression suddenly became different, he frowned and listened for a moment, and suddenly said, "There is trouble, I guarantee that this bell definitely has something to do with Luo Mu"
As she spoke, before Polly could say anything, she saw Sean's punch slam directly into the walls of the ice cave with a whistling sound!
Then, the thick ice wall actually burst into a large circle of cracks, shattering violently, and with the cracking sound, countless bones surged out from behind the wall like a blowout.
Luo Mu and Si Ruisi saw the crowd standing up from the ground one by one, and suddenly felt that the situation was not good, and the two of them were now standing at the gate of the palace, there was no reason not to go in, Si Ruisi looked at Luo Mu, Luo Mu turned around sharply, and rushed directly to the front of the main gate of the palace, chopping the clouds and slashing the clouds, shooting out an extremely thin and long wind blade, from the crack in the door, directly cut the door beam behind the gate into half.
Then Luo Mu pushed directly on the gate of the palace, Luo Mu had used all his strength, but the heavy palace door was only trembling violently, but it was not opened, seeing that the figure had rushed towards the palace like a tide, Si Ruisi also ran to the gate, only to see Xi Ruisi put his hands on the gate, and snorted, her pupils flashed a trace of scarlet at this moment, and then with a rumbling sound and endless dust, the huge palace door was slowly pushed open!
The two of them worked together to push open a gap in the palace door, rushed in directly, and closed the palace door inside, and put the broken door beam behind the door again, before gasping and leaning against the palace gate.
The roars of the huge blue-black corpses outside the door as they ran rang in their ears, but the eyes of Luo Mu and the others were both looking at the throne in the center of the main hall of the palace in the distance.
On the throne, two corpses in royal robes sat upright.
