Chapter 45: The King of Shadows, giving in, the tomb of the conqueror
The rules of the royal family are very strict.
Even Director Carl was only allowed to enter the conqueror's tomb after marrying a royal sister. Katie was even more embarrassed. She had been queen for more than 70 years and had not been able to enter even once.
But Renn is still confident.
To put it bluntly, this time, he was 100% sure that he would be able to enter the royal mausoleum without having to agree to any conditions from the royal family!
Because, there is a super boss supporting him behind his back...
Renn looked calm and was not in a hurry to show his trump card. He was curious about what other plans the royal family had for him, so he asked:
"Bringing in a child? How to marry into a child?"
Charles VI's face showed uncontrollable joy, as if he thought he was ready to compromise.
The old guys in the family have said that they want him to facilitate a marriage as much as possible and tie the continent's number one genius to the Clement family's chariot.
However, he thought this matter was hopeless before, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But now, Viscount Ackermann... no, it's Earl Connaught. He wants to enter the palace of his ancestors and ask for help from the royal family.
The opportunity has come!
Thinking that he had grasped the opponent's weakness, Charles VI smiled broadly, coughed lightly, and said:
"It's very simple. As long as you marry my sister, Princess Eileen, it doesn't have to be a marriage. She can also marry you outside."
Renn: "..."
(?□-□)
He bet fifty cents, which was Eileen's request.
For some unknown reason, that female demon was obsessed with him and kept staring at him.
During this period, she invited him to hang out many times, and sometimes even came to the hotel to call him in the middle of the night, but he always used the excuse of being busy and did not open the door for her.
Seeing that he didn't reply, Charles VI misunderstood and said with a smile:
"Or, if you don't like my sister Irene, you can choose some of my daughters. Except for Sophie, they all agree to marry you."
If the sister can't do it, then the daughter?
It's really yours.
Ren cursed in his heart, looked at the queen, and said with a slightly playful smile:
"Including your two daughters, Queen?"
Katie gave birth to a total of six children for the king, including four princes and two princesses.
What is very strange is that a few days ago, the queen's two biological daughters also expressed their intention to marry him...
An intoxicating smile appeared on Katie's beautiful face. She placed her hands lightly on her thighs and said softly:
"This is their decision, and as a mother, I can't stop it."
She did acquiesce in the actions of her two daughters.
Revenge for killing your father?
Haha, it's nothing compared to her being able to continue to sit firmly as the queen.
There is nothing more ruthless than the imperial family. Surrounding the royal power, it is not uncommon for fathers and sons to fight each other, husbands and wives to turn against each other, and brothers to fight against each other.
For Katie, if her daughter can marry Ren, the grievances between the two parties will naturally be resolved.
Even, with the mainland's number one genius as her son-in-law, her status as queen is unshakable and her power can be further enhanced.
If that's the case, why stop it?
Of course, Katie is not naive. She knows that the probability of Ren being willing to marry her daughter is very slim, and she has no expectations.
"So, what's your decision?"
Charles VI had a confident smile on his face and looked expectantly at the young man in front of him.
Maybe this person is the son-in-law or brother-in-law, his smile is much more sincere than before.
The corners of Ren's mouth raised, with a playful smile, he said, "Sorry, I won't marry anyone."
Haha, I’m dumbfounded.
Charles VI: "..."
Katie: "..."
There was silence, two confused faces, and a crow seemed to fly by in the sky.
The king and queen both looked stagnant and stunned for a moment. Charles VI frowned, with some displeasure after being teased on his face, and said:
"So, you gave up entering the king's tomb?"
"no."
Renn shook his head, smiled confidently, and took out a silver token from his pocket under the surprised eyes of King Charles VI's Queen Katie.
The palm-sized token is plated with a layer of mithril and has a pure white luster. It has patterns such as torches, swords and roses on it. It is very exquisite, with the word "zero" in the middle.
"Is this... a beacon order?" Charles VI's eyes widened slightly, with a look of surprise on his face.
The Beacon Order is a special token used by the top leaders of the Demon Hunter Association.
Renn raised the beacon order, raised his head and chest, and said: "Our president has said that we hope that the Clement family will allow me to enter the conqueror's tomb."
"What?!"
Charles VI was shocked, exclaimed, and almost stood up from the stone bench in excitement.
The queen was also horrified, her eyes widened, and she almost subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth, forgetting to maintain a graceful demeanor.
Next to him, "Red Lotus Knight" Veronica, as well as the teams of guards and maids, were all dumbfounded, and some even couldn't help but exclaim.
Don’t blame them for their gaffe, that’s the president of the Demon Hunter Association!
Super giants, looking at the entire Saigon continent, are top-notch big shots.
"Sir Ackerman, is this...really? Did your president really say that?" Charles VI was shocked, but also a little doubtful.
In the Demon Hunter Association, in addition to the president, the two vice presidents and some senior titled demon hunters are also qualified to issue beacon orders.
That means something completely different.
The Kingdom of Faloran is very powerful, so it doesn't need to give face to the vice president and those senior titled demon hunters.
But if it were the president himself...
"See for yourselves."
Ren's face was calm and he was too lazy to explain anything. He placed the silver beacon token on the table and shot out the blue star force with a few fingers. He aimed at the specific nodes on the token and used the correct route to inject wisps of it.
Starburst!
Buzz!
The beacon trembled a few times, as if it had been activated. The torch pattern on it emitted purple light, and a light curtain was projected into the air.
In the picture, there is a somewhat blurry figure.
He wore a dark golden skull mask and a large, somewhat tattered black cloak. The narrow eyes under the mask emitted blue light, and he carried a ferocious death sickle on his back.
The place he was in seemed to be in a valley somewhere, with dense clouds in the sky, thunder and lightning, and a bloody portal floating in the sky that seemed real or illusory.

"Salute to you, the great Lord of Shadows!" x2
Charles VI and Queen Katie stood up at the same time, put their right hands on their chests, half-bowed their bodies, and made a solemn salute.
Instead, Renn made no move.
This is not a projection, just a recorded video.
Because Ren was watching, Charles VI and Queen Katie naturally did not dare to make excuses. As outsiders, they had to solemnly salute the president of the Demon Hunter Association to show their respect for the King of Shadows.
Otherwise, if word gets out that they don't understand etiquette, it will be very troublesome.
Because it was an image, there was naturally no reaction, but the president’s voice was recorded and played automatically:
"I blocked Sigmund (the Nightmare Lord) outside his lair. Faloran also has an old grudge with him, right?
I can ensure that he cannot come to Farolland and interfere in the war in the next few years. In exchange, I will let Ren Ackerman enter the tomb of the conqueror. If you think this condition is acceptable, then accept this beacon order."
After saying that, the image automatically disappeared, and the torch pattern on the beacon was silently smoothed out.
"this……"
Charles VI was speechless, as if he had not yet reacted, and did not know what to say for a moment.
Queen Katie's face was pale and her smile was slightly stiff. She held the hem of her skirt with both hands, feeling a little restless.
She was frightened.
The president of the Demon Hunter Association spoke for Master Ackerman and wanted to help him enter the tomb of the conqueror...
This frightened her even more than the last time Vice President "Magic Gun" Carragher warned her.
The president is blocked outside the Nightmare Lord's lair?
Renn's eyes were also a little surprised.
After the beacon order is activated, the information stored in it will be automatically destroyed, and he cannot open it in advance to check it until he is in front of the target person.
He really didn't know that the president had actually found the lair of the Nightmare Lord.
"Your Majesty, do you accept this?"
His thoughts flashed by, and Ren couldn't help but smile, and handed the beacon order to the king.
Charles VI smiled bitterly and accepted the beacon order without hesitation.
This also means that the Clement family has agreed to the president's conditions.
Not answering?
He doesn't have the guts.
Having the president of the Demon Hunter Association intercept the Nightmare Lord has indeed relieved Farolan of any worries. It seems that they only need to concentrate on dealing with the Demon Lord Samael at the moment.
"Your Majesty, when can I enter the royal cemetery?" Ren said impatiently.
"I'll make arrangements right away, please wait a moment."
Charles VI took the beacon order and stood up directly. Regardless of his image as a king, he ran to the palace on the right side of the garden in a hurry.
This is no small matter, and Carl, Irene and other royal family members must be informed immediately.
As a result, not counting the guards and maids, only Ren and Queen Katie were left in the garden for the time being.
The two stared at each other.
Renn looked at the pale queen across from him, raised the corners of his mouth, and said:
"Is the queen feeling unwell?"
"No."
Katie's expression was stiff. Even though she tried her best to control it, there was still unconcealable fear in her eyes, and she was a little distracted.
Seeing her being frightened like this, Ren found it funny and at the same time marveled at the president's intimidating power.
The president of the Demon Hunter Association, his age is unknown, but he should not be more than 300 years old. His title is "Zero". He is respected as the "King of Shadows" by the countries in the mainland. People prefer to call him the "Black Death" and "The King of Killers".
king".
There has been no news about him for more than 50 years, so his experiences and deeds are somewhat vague.
However, some information is widely circulated.
Guild President "Zero" was originally a [Shadow Warrior] profession, and also studied [Ghost Holy Body].
Later, he created the new "Shadow Hunter" profession based on the two professions "Shadow Warrior" and "Demon Hunter", thus stepping into the realm of kings.
Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows what this means.
The Sun King, the first generation "King of Knights", pushed the [Knight] career path to the extreme; the God of Storm War, created the [Paladin] profession, which has been famous for eternity; the Blue Sword Master, the first generation Sword Master, is the pioneer of the [Ranger] profession;
Pluto of the North Sea, the first late-level fifth-level shadow warrior; Barbarian King of the Western Wasteland, the first berserker to achieve great success...
The president of the Demon Hunter Association, the King of Shadows, can be compared with these fierce men.
Even among high-ranking saints, they are all outstanding.
And Ren knew that this generation of presidents was stronger than the previous president.
The president once discussed with the chairman of the Steam Alliance and won a hand. He once "played chess" with the Pope and ended in a draw...
"Sir Ackerman."
Queen Katie suddenly spoke. Her face turned pale, but she still forced a smile and said in a soft and melodious voice, "I think we may have had a misunderstanding before. How about letting it go like this?"
"The queen is joking. I have always admired you. How could there be a misunderstanding?"
Ren said with a smile.
Now you know you're scared, you stinky woman.
Katie: "..."
(￣e(#￣)
She felt that this little bastard was trying to show off his power, but she didn't dare to gamble.
That's the King of Shadows!
Even if he is not as good as the Sun King and Storm God of War, he can still be compared with the first-generation Sword Master, Beihai Pluto, Western Wilderness Barbarian King and others.
She couldn't even think of resisting.
The queen was frightened and decided to give in, and then expressed her resignation in a tactful way.
Ren thought for a while, raised the red wine glass on the table, and touched a glass with her.
This means that he has accepted the other party's apology, and as long as she stops being clever and targeting him, the past grudge will be over.
As for Katie's shaken status and how to deal with her enemies, Renn doesn't care.
If she was knocked down, he would only enjoy it secretly.
…………
Royal Capital, White Tower of Order.
The door of the deputy director's office is closed and the barrier has been opened.
"The Destroyer" Tulalan was sitting behind his desk, with various documents piled on the table. In the room, a deacon in black was reporting the situation to him.
"...Viscount Ackermann took out the beacon order from the president of the Demon Hunter Association and can enter the king's tomb. In other words, he is not married to the royal family?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Yes."
The deacon nodded and added, "In addition, Ryan Ackerman has accepted the title of Earl Connoll."
Deputy Director Tulalang said nothing, his face uncertain.
A big shot like the president of the Demon Hunter Association is still very intimidating, and he doesn't have the guts to fight against him.
Therefore, he cannot come forward or take action.
but……
Tularang took out a secret letter that he had prepared and said expressionlessly:
"Take this and send it through the underground black market in the royal capital and through the channel of Informant No. 2."
He had given up pursuing the opportunity with Earl Connoll.
However, the fact that the other party did not intend to marry the royal family was a hidden danger in his opinion.
At such a young age, his strength is comparable to that of the Prince of Darkness, and he is extremely talented. If he is allowed to stay in Falorland to develop, he may shake the rule of the Clement family.
The black-clothed deacon took the secret letter from the deputy director, without asking any questions, silently exited the office and closed the door.
"Earl Conor, don't blame me for being cruel. It's you who don't want to stand on our side."
Tularang's face was expressionless as he murmured to himself, a stern look flashed in his eyes.
As the deputy director of the 7th Bureau, he specializes in dirty work and is also responsible for dealing with the underground world. He has a lot of cards in his hand, and it is not difficult to borrow a knife to kill people.
After all, he has many "old friends".
The secret letter was just a notice, and he had not yet decided to act until the last moment.
He wanted to wait for Eileen's action.
Let's see if she can finally sleep with her... Well, let's convince the number one genius in mainland China to marry her.
…………
Charles VI was very efficient. Half an hour later, he ran back to the garden to inform Rennes that the Clement family had given permission for him to enter the tomb of the king.
It seems that the president does have a lot of face.
And the person who took Ren into the cemetery this time was naturally...Princess Irene.
Ren said goodbye to the king and followed a guard. As soon as he walked out of the palace garden, a beautiful girl rushed towards him.
"Ren, am I beautiful today?"
Princess Eileen smiled brightly and gave him a warm hug without saying anything when they met.
"pretty."
Ren couldn't help but rolled his eyes, pushed her away, and felt his chest being squeezed.
This woman actually hit someone with a ball...
Eileen changed her look today. She wore a pink and white dress, revealing a pair of arms with supple and shiny skin. Her swan neck was white and tender, and the downward expansion of the neckline vaguely highlighted her plump breasts.
The skirt on her lower body is also very short. When she moves, her long, snow-white legs with vivid lines are exposed, and her plump buttocks are also faintly visible.
Young, beautiful, and extremely sexy.
Seemingly realizing that Renn didn't like smoky makeup, she went with normal makeup this time.
Her hair is naturally disheveled, no makeup is applied on her face, her big watery blue eyes, curved eyelashes, straight nose and sexy red lips form a breathtaking beauty.
Ren was stunned by her stunning appearance.
Compared with Irene, the queen pales in comparison.
"Come on, I will take you to the royal tomb."
After being pushed, Irene was not annoyed at all. She smiled sweetly, held his right hand intimately, and her eyes were as gentle as water.
The way she looked at Ren was like a little girl looking at the boy she likes.
The heart of spring is rippling, and I am moved by emotion.
Renn looked helpless. After all, he still needed her to lead the way. He couldn't push her away anymore and could only be pulled forward by her.
He could actually feel that she did like him.
But...he already has a name and a master.
Erin held Ren's hand intimately, with an intoxicating smile, and led him through many palaces, gardens, pools, fountains and squares scattered with sculptures, to an inconspicuous side hall.
Two royal knights wearing white leather armor, holding sharp swords, and with awe-inspiring auras stood guard outside the gate of the side hall.
"Princess, do you have a token?"
Among them, a middle-aged, blond, blue-eyed, tall knight raised his sharp cross sword and stopped Irene who was trying to get closer.
A silver light flashed in Ren's eyes, and he could see that there was a ball of golden fighting spirit in this knight's body, like a golden furnace, the fighting spirit was burning and powerful.
A holy knight at the beginning of the fifth level.
The one next to him was weaker. The fighting energy in his body turned pale golden, like a torch, and surged out of the body for more than one meter. He was only at the peak of the fourth level.
Irene didn't say anything, but took out a sky-blue jade pendant that exuded wisps of cold air and showed it to them.
The two knights nodded, put away their swords, and moved out of the way.
Erin took Ren's hand and entered the side hall, and finally walked into a slightly dark room. She stretched out her hand, and the dark force spurted from her palm, and pressed it on a seemingly flat wall.
Buzz!
The wall dented, and then, bright silver lines lit up on the wall, and several powerful magic barriers unfolded simultaneously, cutting off the outside world.
The mechanism started to operate, and the floor near the inner side of the room shook and separated to both sides, revealing a tunnel leading to the underground.
"Can you enter the King's Tomb from here?" Ren asked.
"This is one of the passages."
Irene squeezed Ren's hand tightly and said seriously, "Remember, don't touch anything randomly. Many of the formations and restrictions below were personally arranged by the ancestors back then. You don't want to try it."
Their power."
Ren's heart trembled and he nodded.
Of course he would not be stupid enough to experience Emperor William's methods.
The tunnel leading to the mausoleum is not dark. In addition to lamps, the walls are also inlaid with many luminous pearls and some special luminous gems.
Erin held Ren's hand and walked around in the intricate underground passages full of bifurcations, carefully passing through various mechanisms and restrictions.
I walked like this for an hour and still didn't reach my destination.
"No way, the royal tomb is so big?" Finally, Ren was a little impatient.
Eileen reached out and pinched his cheek, pouted and said:
"Be patient, the space in this cemetery is constantly changing. In addition to ancestors, members of the royal family from past generations are also buried."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Ren heard this, he concentrated on it, and then he noticed the weak space fluctuations in all directions.
Only then did he realize that this was a small secret realm, and it was also a large formation. If he forced his way through, he would probably be squeezed by a terrifying force comparable to the size of a small world...
No wonder even Irene walked so carefully.
It took another half an hour to reach the center of the king's tomb, the tomb of the conqueror.
This is a very special tomb.
It is very large inside, to be precise, it is very high. There is a starry sky above its head, the stars are brilliant, exuding a vast and profound mysterious atmosphere, as if it is connected to the real starry sky across thousands of miles.
Ren looked up and was surprised to find that he couldn't even feel how high the top of the tomb was. His spiritual power extended tens of thousands of meters to the starry sky above his head, and it still didn't reach the end.
"Don't perceive it. The space laws here have been subverted and modified. What you perceive may be wrong information." Irene explained.
'The strength of Emperor William is a bit unpredictable...'
Ren sighed in his heart and looked at the center of the tomb. It was a high platform made of pure white jade with 99 steps.
On the high platform, there is a gray sarcophagus, and there are several stone tablets next to it.
Although it was a bit disrespectful, Ren still opened the "Eye of Deception" and took a look at the sarcophagus to see through the inside.
However, he saw nothing.
It was empty, not to mention the body, there were no clothes, burial objects, or even any ashes. The inside of the sarcophagus was so clean that it was dust-free.
He looked surprised, looked at Eileen, and asked: "Empty?"
Irene shook her head and explained: "Of course, the ancestor disappeared into the abyss of the sky and never came back. Where did the body or ashes come from?"
The abyss of heaven?
Ren's heart moved, but he didn't rush to ask.
He stepped on the jade steps, climbed up the steps, and came all the way to the sarcophagus, looking at several black stone tablets next to them that exuded a simple and vicissitudes of life.
There are words in the middle block, and the top and bottom words are the most conspicuous.
It says, God-killing Technique.
It says below that the fourth path is not completed.
