v94 Chapter 37 : winner
Dusk City · Inner City, inside the big library.
Although this place is called the Great Library, the number of ancient books stored here is not very large, not even one ten-millionth of the Great Library of Soul. Guz broke through the protective barriers of Lieyang Star, and spewed dragon flames into the city above Lieyang City.
With the enmity between the ancient dragon camp and the sun camp, of course, how to make the other party hurt more, how to destroy it, it is a pleasure to burn the palace in the central city, but it will not take long for the sun gods to let the groups that depend on them build a bigger and more magnificent place. On the contrary, it is the large library of Wangcheng, where there are many rare books, and 90% of these books are unique.
Guz, the dragon who devours the abyss, even devours the energy of the abyss, it is a miracle that it can still maintain a certain degree of sanity. Naturally, it doesn't care what kind of damage it will cause to the civilization of the first era if it burns the great library of the king's city. In addition, at the end of the first era, it is The sun and the ancient dragon camp fought to the most ferocious moment.
In the end, Guz, the dragon who devoured the abyss, was beheaded by the returned Sun King, but the large library of the royal city was reduced to ashes, and one-fifth of the buildings in the royal city were reduced to ruins.
The tall bookshelf made of walnut stands tall, with the pulp of years on it, which makes the wood grain have a sense of time. The ancient books displayed on the bookshelf can still smell a faint burnt smell after picking it up at this time.
Beside the tall bookshelf at the innermost side, there is a candlestick on a small round wooden table. The darkness in the middle of the night is driven away by the dim candlelight. A stooped, skinny old man stands on the edge of the candlelight. In front of the bookshelf, the old hand took down an ancient book. The bark-like skin seemed to be older than the ancient book.
This frail old man in a long gray coat is actually a leader of the Great Library camp, an eyeless sage, not only is his eye hole dark, but because the gray long coat is open, you can see that he is so dry that his ribs are distributed His chest, and further down, was an empty abdomen, as if the abdomen had been ripped open by a wild beast, and there was darkness, as if it was this darkness that kept these old monsters alive.
A few meters away, Su Xiao sat on a crystal chair and read an ancient book on pharmacy. After meeting the old monster, he found that the other party was not a long-lived species, not even a sun god, but a human race.
The more this is the case, the more powerful the old monster is. Looking at the entire sun camp, the old monster is definitely not the strongest, but he is the most alive.
This is also the puzzling point. When Su Xiao first came to Twilight City, he always guarded against this old monster who lived from the first era to the present. However, in the subsequent development of the situation, he found that the old monster was the one with the most desires and desires. Augustus and Hebertha, who are fighting for power, form a sharp contrast.
This makes people wonder, what is the purpose of the old monster? And, he did not hesitate to endure the pain of the erosion of the abyss, and survived until the third era, why?
You know, if the old monster wants to become the master of Twilight City, let alone the current Lord of the Sun, Ashlot, even Ashlot's grandparents are not the old monster's opponent.
Combining all these, the old monster gives the impression that it is no longer planning something, but more like waiting for something. Under such circumstances, cooperating with this old monster is the best choice at present. No matter how you say it, Su Xiao is an outsider. Those who don't cooperate with one of the local forces, the dignitaries of Twilight City who have been unhappy with him for a long time, will rush forward.
It is not difficult to kill all these dignitaries in Twilight City, but the problem is that they will not be able to enter Twilight City in a fair manner.
"That was a long time ago. A group of us strayed into that dark place, and only the three of us came out alive. Compared with the two of them, the traces I left in later generations are not worth mentioning."
The old monster Eyeless Sage spoke.
"..."
Su Xiao looked suspiciously at the old monster who was wiping the cover of the ancient book. After he came, he didn't specify his purpose.
"Huh? Didn't you just ask, what happened to the three of us back then? Could it be that I misremembered? What did you ask just now?"
"I did not say anything."
"Impossible, it's not a good habit for young people to lie."
The old monster put the wiped ancient book back in its original place, then took down the cleaned one, and wiped it again.
Su Xiao has seen a lot of old yin beeps who are full of acting skills. It is unheard of to be able to act to the level of an old monster. In addition, the other party does not need to act this one under such circumstances. In this way, it is speculated that the master of the big library Or, there seems to be some... memory loss caused by Alzheimer's.
"Dharma destroyer, you just said, what is your name?"
"white night."
"Oh, white night."
The old monster nodded thoughtfully, put back the wiped ancient book, picked up the second one that had just been wiped, and wiped it carefully. Judging from the wear and tear of the nearby ancient books, the old monster specially harmed them Ah, cyclical forgetting.
"Don't worry, I still remember important things, for example, you are Lie Yangxing who just came yesterday."
"..."
"It seems that I remembered wrongly. You should be more tolerant towards the elderly, let alone I am alive..."
Speaking of this, the old monster suddenly got stuck. He seemed to be contemplating how many years he had lived. Seeing this, Su Xiao looked a little dignified. As far as the other party's current memory is concerned, if he recalls how many years he has lived, maybe Have to sleep in the past tired.
"Two and a half epochs."
Hearing Su Xiao's reminder, the old monster showed suspicion, and asked: "Have I lived for so long? It's terrible, then didn't I become an immortal old monster, but how did I live for so long? It seems that eating Lost... darkness?"
The old monster narrowed his black eyes with no eyeballs, then shook his head in disappointment, and asked, "That..."
"white night."
"Oh, Bai Ye, what are you doing here this time?"
"I need "Prophetic Enlightenment", please make a price. "
"Well, let me think about where is this ancient book, it seems to be on my bookshelf? Come with me."
The old monster beckoned. For some reason, Su Xiao had a faint feeling that the old monster should never be so kind and kind. The other party had such an attitude because of the following reasons.
1. The negotiation effect derived from Su Xiao's own charm attribute.
Cough~ Let's rule this out first.
2. Some of my previous behaviors have won the favor of the old monster.
This is not very reliable. When I first came to Twilight City, I sensed the darkness that devoured the abyss in the direction of the big library, and only survived to the third era. The old monster, he remained vigilant and wait-and-see. As for making the other party so kind and kind.
3. As a person who destroyed the law, I finally got positive feedback in terms of negotiations.
Thinking of this, Su Xiao immediately recalled Glenn Gillian, because the incident of the other party laying a gun happened a lot, and now this time, because of the extermination camp, there was finally a positive negotiation feedback.
More than ten minutes later, in the study of the old monster on the lower floor of the big library, he groped for a moment on the bookshelf and took down an ancient book.
"This "Prophet Enlightenment", I was... Where did I get it? "
The old monster thought for a moment, and when he didn't think about it, he simply didn't think about this insignificant thing. If he thought about it, from the first era to the present, if he remembered all the trivial things, no matter how strong his mental body was, he would also Frenzied by memory confusion.
"Who are you going to give this ancient book to?"
"Xiguang City, City Lord."
"Oh, it's that little bastard. He has established Xiguang City for a few years, and he doesn't know how it has developed."
"Sharin."
"Huh? The name sounds familiar. Let me think about it... oh~, Xiguang City has been established for so many years, and it seems that there have been several generations of city owners."
"What price should I pay for this ancient book?"
"It's a very high price. You can't pay it now. I will collect it when you are qualified. I think the time is not far away. We will witness it together."
The old monster put "Prophet Enlightenment" on the wooden table next to Su Xiao. After he sat down at the wooden table, he sighed and said, "I, an old man, can no longer taste the taste of food, only the food brewed by natural elements. Only good wine can make me, a half-dead old monster, taste something."
At the end, the old monster sighed.
"..."
Su Xiao took out the fine wine of the elements, and across the old monster on the wooden table, he took two wine glasses from the shelf naturally. It seems that his dementia is intermittent, and the old monster is more awake at this time.
The skinny old monster with loose robes and open front, raised his glass to drink with a bit of carefree movement, because this is the wine at the bottom of the giant star tree · big wine barrel, the taste is more mellow and spicy at the same time, old While the monster breathed out the smell of alcohol, its cloudy pupils became somewhat clearer.
"Your next opponent will be a nun."
"..."
"It seems to be true, give up, this is a trap."
"trap?"
"You should have discovered that only the Twilight City can be bathed in the sun for a long time. The farther you are from here, the dimmer the sun will be. When you reach the southernmost Sacred Heart City, or the northernmost Nightmare Land, the sky will be dark."
When the old monster said this, he picked up the clay cup the size of a wine cup, and drank the wine in one gulp. This finally gave him a feeling of being alive. He continued:
"The Soul Crown City of the Soul Academy and the Sacred Heart City of the Gods Sect are both in the dark place in the south. They are directly fighting against the Twilight City to compete for this land that is bathed in the sun every day. They don't dare yet, but continue. I'm not reconciled, so..."
"The road to becoming a king."
"Yes, the 32 "Sun Origin Stones" owned by the Sun Gods are now scattered all over the place, and are owned by many powerful people. The test of becoming a king in the name of recovering the "Sun Origin Stones" is the best reason. It not only makes Twilight City unable to refuse, but also waits for the opportunity to move. "
The old monster revealed the secrets contained in the "Road to Kinghood". Simply put, this is a test launched by the Soul Academy and the Sacred Heart City to the Twilight City. The three parties each sent a team to regain the "Sun Source" Stone", if the Twilight City shows any weakness during this period, the Soul Academy and the Sacred Heart City will rush forward.
If Twilight City is an old lion, then Soul Academy and Sacred Heart City are crocodiles and hyenas. How capable this old lion is, crocodiles and hyenas can't figure it out. Each other's cannon fodder.
This is also why, the Su Xiao team, the priest team, and the big smart team, these three teams of outsiders, can represent the dusk city, the soul academy, and the religion of the gods, and they will fight this time to become kings. It is because the teams before the three parties , were all beaten to death by the beast gods, giant tree kings, and bloodthirsty beasts, and it was also because the purpose of the three parties was not to complete the road to becoming a king.
What the three parties didn't expect was that the three teams agreed to deal with each other were actually stronger than the other. Up to now, the three teams have each defeated three strong enemies and are about to challenge the fourth strong enemy of their respective teams.
Especially the gods, after finding out the origins of the priest, the platinum apostle, and the archbishop of the abyss, they stopped playing immediately. They will not participate in the follow-up of this matter. The three teams selected at random are really a scalp Numb.
Among them are ancient gods in human form, the fate department that swallows fate silently, the highest echelon of the dark **** religion exists the archbishop of the abyss, who detonated two shots of the magic-killing shadow of the sun holy sword on the arcane eternal star, and just climbed out of the shallow layer of the abyss Black Demon, the Devourer of Astral Worlds who has not been reincarnated for a long time.
After the high-level members of the Gods Sect found out this at a high price, several high-level people were paralyzed, and said the next day that the follow-up road to becoming a king has nothing to do with them, and they set aside the participation qualifications for this road to become a king. , Completely handed over to the three members of the priest team.
After discovering this situation, the Soul Academy also started to investigate, but there were no strong fortune tellers here, so they got relevant information from the Gods Cult at a high price.
After realizing the nightmarish lineup of the third team, the Soul Academy's attitude was simple and clear, goodbye.
Dusk City sees this situation, and plans to stop the trial of the road to becoming a king. No matter whether it is the old nobles or the new dignitaries, they themselves don't want Dusk City to participate in this trial. If they don't directly contact the gods The price of turning against the teaching and the Soul Academy is too high, and they have already torn their faces.
Faced with such a situation, of course Su Xiao would not agree. He has already dealt with the fourth strong enemy. Twilight City wants to end when it says it is over? In addition, his main task is this King's Trial. Of course, he will not give up halfway. This is why, tonight, the old nobles and the new dignitaries are willing to join forces temporarily to deal with Su Xiao.
However, the pit dug by the old nobles and the new dignitaries is not here, but the fourth powerful enemy that Su Xiao has to deal with, the nun.
"Where did I just say?"
The old monster's eyes became cloudy again. Seeing this, Su Xiao got up to say goodbye. After he left, the old monster looked at the flickering candle, a little lost in thought.
"Yeah, it's not the case now, the age of the three of us, our sun is about to set."
After the old monster finished speaking, the flickering candle was extinguished, and he gradually fell silent in the darkness.
Su Xiao walked out of the main entrance of the big library, and the early morning sun reflected on the top of the city wall.
"Hey, don't pretend you didn't see me."
Delona in a black dress made a sound. She was sitting on the roof of the Lord's train, shaking her calf.
"My brother said, let me summon this to pick you up from Twilight City, and said it's dangerous here now."
Delona is eating something that looks like a steamed stuffed bun while talking vaguely. This is Delona's character. Since leaving Dark Moon Nightmare and sharing a body with Ayesha, how happy is Delona? Yessa is so depressed.
The previous relationship between the two was not hostile, but they also disliked each other, so Delona, who has had control over her body for a long time, often has bad ideas, such as going to a restaurant to eat, deliberately asking the waiter for some chili, and resisting the spicy food. After chewing for a while, taking advantage of Ayesha's consciousness not paying attention, he suddenly gave her control over her body.
Ayesha, who was enjoying the silence in the dark, suddenly came to a noisy restaurant, and her mouth was still full of peppers. The situation can be imagined.
What makes Ayesha even more gloomy is that Delona never tires of this kind of thing. In the end, Ayesha simply sealed herself in the consciousness space, which made Delona uncomfortable. With a body, she inevitably felt a little repulsive in her heart, but when the other party completely ignored her and almost gave up control of this body, she began to miss Ayesha not long after.
Right now, Delona is in the mood of being irritable because she misses Ayesha very much but can't see Ayesha.
"Bai Ye, how can I see Ayesha, she ignored me~!"
Delona lay back, on top of the train.
"If it were me, I would ignore you. If anyone else dared to harm Ayesha like this, she would have been cursed to death by her long ago. She is the embodiment of the dark hotbed."
Baja on Su Xiao's shoulders spoke. Hearing what Baja said, Delona who was lying on the top of the train suddenly sat up. She deliberately looked at Baja with one big eye and a small one, and all kinds of bad ideas arose in her heart. .
Baja's expression twitched. It has traveled so many worlds, but it can only be defeated by two people. The first one is the ultimate green tea Crystal Princess, and the second one is Delona in black dress. It is unimaginable, the nightmare of the dark moon How miserable those nightmare creatures have been harmed by this little aunt for so many years.
"Ayesha, Ayesha! I was wrong, don't ignore me, counting from blood, I am your own sister, do you treat your own sister like this?"
Speaking of this, Delona's eyes were filled with tears. However, Ayesha in the dark space of consciousness ignored her, but the slightly raised corners of her lips meant that she did not dislike Delona, but in the next second , after she sensed the handful of peppers in the little white hand of Delona in her pocket, her eyes became darker with anger.
"Tch~, my sister has learned to be smart, Bai Ye, why don't we leave?"
Delona opened her mouth, she dared to play rogue with other people, but she didn't dare to be presumptuous to Su Xiao, Su Xiao devoured the energy of the demon spirit a lot, where did the energy of the demon spirit come from? The answer is the transformation of "Immortal and Immortal Origin of Abyss Breeds" by the Demon Blade. The dark hotbed is one of the most powerful abyss breeds.
"..."
Su Xiao didn't speak, of course he didn't have to leave Twilight City, and he still had to go to the "Inner City" to go to the only entrance to the "Central City", the Temple of Silence.
At this moment, in Houcheng District, Silver Coconut Manor.
This is one of the largest manors in the inner city. As the mansion of the newly promoted leader, there is no need to say how luxurious it is. However, the atmosphere in the Silver Coconut Manor today is particularly dignified. The lineup that surrounded Su Xiao last night, at this time At least half of them are stationed in the manor.
In the restaurant on the third floor of the mansion, the breakfast is not rich but exquisite. Unfortunately, Hei Bosha has no appetite. The siege last night is equivalent to tearing the face. She is sure that the revenge of the law-destroyer will come soon. From Sha's point of view, assassination is the quickest and easiest means of revenge for a law destroyer who rushed to challenge the beast gods, tower knight commanders, and false kings.
After waiting all night, the expected assassination did not come. Instead, the old nobleman Augustus went to the central city to offer the [Scorching Sun Great Sword]. In return, the old fox was about to return to the inner city with the holy emblem of the monarch. , This means that in the follow-up confrontation with the old noble camp, the new dignitaries headed by Hebertha will be suppressed and beaten, and there is almost no room for fighting back.
Thinking of this, Hebertha was in an extremely bad mood. At the dining table, she gently rubbed her forehead with one hand, thinking about the follow-up countermeasures. At this moment, her confidants rushed into the dining room with a bang, panting. What to say.
"Don't panic, we have already considered the worst outcome."
Hei Bertha had already seen wrinkles on her face for the first time, and it was inevitable that she felt a little lonely. She lost the confrontation with the old fox in the end. Because of the limited power under his command, he can't come up with any plans in a short time.
"My lord, good news, the old fox Augustus was slaughtered by an assassin! The emperor's holy emblem is also lost. I have confirmed the news, it is absolutely true!"
There was an uncontrollable smile on the confidant's face. Hearing this, Hebertha's eyes flashed suspiciously. Her first thought was that the old thing was suspended animation, but after thinking about it, it might not be a big deal.
The joy in my heart did not well up, but an idea came up. The old fox Augustus died, and the holy emblem of the monarch he obtained was still lost. What should the old nobles do? This is a direct drop from heaven to hell, and the old nobles will go crazy to hysteria.
"Kukulin White Night, you..."
Hei Bertha's complexion was extremely ugly. After thinking for a moment, she dropped the napkin and got up, and said to her confidant next to her, "Arrange me to leave the city immediately, to...Xiguang City."
"Of order, my lord, before noon, I assure you..."
"Immediately! In half a quarter of an hour, I will leave Twilight City."
"Yes Yes."
The confidant hurriedly lowered her head again and again, Hebertha sighed, and walked out of the restaurant.
Pooh~!
The blood-stained tip of the knife pierced Hebertha's chest. She staggered half a step forward, looked down at the bloodstains gradually slipping down, and the tip of the knife became bright and cold. For the first time, there was some disbelief in her eyes, even though she had just heard Augustus died, and she was not so surprised.
"Master Augustus, tell me to say goodbye to you on his behalf. Farewell forever."
The confidant pulled out the dagger that pierced through the heart, which caused Hei Bertha to fall to the ground with a thud. In the spreading pool of blood, she stared at her confidant, feeling unbelievable until the death. This confidant who had followed her for decades was actually Austrian. Gus' men.
At the same time, in the inner city, south of the city, in an underground laboratory, in a metal pool engraved with magic formulas, a man in his early 30s got up from the slightly viscous translucent liquid, and connected to him. All the biological catheters were detached, and the man's body used his lungs to breathe for the first time, which inevitably seemed unfamiliar, and the sound of breathing was slightly noisy, but soon, he felt how comfortable this young and strong body was.
The appearance of this body is impressively the eldest son of Augustus, and Augustus lost his own son? Of course not, many years ago, the eldest son of Augustus was ambushed and murdered by his enemies. This matter was hidden by Augustus. At the same time, he also had a plan. He needed a brand new identity to be able to command the old nobles and the new dignitaries at the same time. identity.
Because of this, although Augustus guessed a bit of Su Xiao's conspiracy, he chose not to use a substitute and play the main body. Right now, he will become the biggest winner in this assassination. He now has the body and energy of a 30-year-old , a city that is several hundred years old, and more than 90% of the weaknesses and unspeakable mysteries of the old nobles and the new dignitaries.
"Kukulin Baiye, thank you for giving me such a god-given opportunity. In return, you should die. If you don't die, I'm uneasy."
Augustus spoke as if talking to himself, and he took a deep breath again. The wonderful feeling of his new body made him smile. He put on his robe, and as soon as he stepped out of the metal pool, he saw a figure standing next to him. Beside the glass pillar a few meters away, this person was wearing a gray-white feather coat and a bone mask with bright red outlines.
"As much as Bai Ye bid, I will pay a hundred times."
Augustus almost gritted his teeth, but in the next moment, he couldn't move his whole body.
Da da da…
Xiao walked up step by step, and when he reached the front of Augustus, the dagger, as thin as a cicada's wing, wiped across Augustus' throat neatly. The knife was not stained with blood. The exit door fell again, and a huge amount of blood spattered from the neck of Augustus, and Augustus fell to the ground immediately.
To the end of his life, Augustus didn't understand how the other party tracked him down. For this reincarnation, he even abandoned his former soul body~www.~ It was through extracting the original soul energy in advance and converging it into a soul seed The method is to reshape the soul body in the new body, which exhausted the wealth he had accumulated for hundreds of years as the leader of the old aristocracy, and he barely achieved it with great defects.
…
Inner City, the innermost area.
The scuffle that happened here just now left the surrounding area in a mess. The old nobleman Augustus was assassinated on this main street.
It stands to reason that this area should be tightly sealed, but when Augustus and Hebertha were involved in an accident at the same time, the high-level people in the inner city had begun to confront each other, and the atmosphere was extremely tense. However, the old nobles and the new dignitaries They were very restrained, and both sides were surprised to find that even though they both lost leaders, they had achieved a wonderful balance again.
The buildings on both sides of the street became more and more old. When Su Xiao reached the deepest part of the inner city, a high wall stood in front of him. This high wall was several hundred meters high. If he wanted to enter it by flying, he would be burnt to ashes by the scorching sun.
An old but magnificent hall is the only entrance to this high wall, which is the ancient temple of silence.
The huge metal gate that opened blocked the way. For some reason, there was no guard in front of the gate.
Su Xiao pushed a giant metal door with both hands. With the sound of the door opening with a click, the scene of the silent ancient palace came into view. The inside of the palace was very quiet, but if you listen carefully, there seemed to be murmurs in the air, and there were dark chains all over the palace. , these chains converged towards the center and became thinner, and in the center was a figure wrapped in black chains all over his body, located a few meters in midair.
When Su Xiao stepped into the ancient temple of silence, all the chains in the temple became red and began to turn into molten iron and scattered on the ground. The figure bound by the chains fell steadily. She opened her eyes and looked at them calmly. The law-destroyer who came here.
Nun, wake up.
