Night gradually fell, and the hook-like crescent moon showed its clues in the sky.
Yerodisha, the Royal Palace.
"According to Fagris' previous report, Arthur should have arrived by now." Emperor Rex looked at the guard captain Urther in front of him, "Why haven't you seen him yet?"
"General Fagreis went to the Dragoon Corps," Urther replied: "His Royal Highness Arthur has indeed entered the palace. But... he went to the Aster Palace."
"Aster Palace?" Emperor Rex frowned, showing a strange look.
Not to mention Emperor Rex, even Urther himself found it incredible - Judging from the intelligence sent by Fagres in advance, Prince "Arthur" ordered Samuel to kill the imperial troops stationed in Jinyao territory today.
The supreme commander Trinis. Although Trinis was killed by Stanwell, the elder of Dragon Valley, and Samuel and Trinis had a fair duel, the real "line" of the whole incident is very clear.
It was some kind of signal that Prince Arthur took the opportunity to send to the imperial capital.
The nature of this incident is extraordinary. Now Prince "Arthur" followed Fagres into the imperial capital alone, probably to explain and explain to Emperor Rex.
However, the Third Highness did not come directly to meet Emperor Rex. Instead, he left His Majesty alone and openly went to Ziyuan Palace to meet his "old friend"!
This "old friend" has a name, that is, she is the official wife of His Highness's uncle!
"Your Majesty," Urser asked tentatively: "After His Highness entered the Ziyuan Palace, he seemed to have activated some kind of shielding prop, so that outsiders could not perceive what was going on inside. Do you want me to take someone to the Ziyuan Palace..."
"No!" Emperor Rex immediately shook his head, "Don't get close to Ziyuan Palace. I want to see what he can do."
"Yes." Urser was confused in his heart. But he didn't ask any more questions and immediately bowed and left.
Ziyuan Palace, the soft moonlight stretches the two shadows in the garden very long.
Veronica brushed her golden brown hair and filled his cup: "This is the tea I made according to your method. I don't know how it goes?"
"It tastes good." Chen Rui tasted it and said with a smile: "But to be honest, there is inevitably a gap between it and Yi Ni. The teacher has to work harder."
"Ini is not only beautiful and smart, but also clever. How can the teacher compare with her?" Veronica shook her head with a sad look on her face, "It's a pity that Laura..."
"Lola is not dead, but was seriously injured and went to a place to recuperate." Chen Rui said mysteriously: "This is a secret, please keep it secret, teacher."
"That's good." Veronica breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person..."
"But the danger I encountered this time was real. I almost died." Chen Rui shrugged. "Teacher, won't you comfort me?"
Veronica stared at him and suddenly sighed: "I don't know how to comfort you. Perhaps, the one who should be comforted most is Princess Lambis. I remember that she was a very good girl when she was in the academy.
A simple and lovely girl. Why do you want to hurt her like this?"
"It's not that I want to hurt her. This is...her own request," Chen Rui pointed to his heart: "I just happened to be at the right time. I took advantage of this opportunity to say what 'Little Arthur' always wanted to say at the wedding.
Just tell everyone."
"You mean Lanbis herself..." Veronica was startled, but intentionally or unintentionally ignored what he said next.
"People change," Chen Rui met her gaze, "Just like you and me."
Veronica's blue eyes were covered with light smoke: "Yes, we have all changed."
"Environment...especially time can change people. However, no matter how the environment changes, some things should not be changed. What do you think, teacher?"
"I don't know..." Veronica looked away slightly, "I only know that some things have changed and it's impossible to go back."
"First, we should determine whether it has really changed."
Chen Rui finished the tea in the cup, but Veronica put down the teapot without pouring it for him: "Why are you coming to see me so late today?"
"Suddenly I really wanted to see the teacher, so I came here and stopped by to see His Majesty later."
"Meet His Majesty 'by the way'?" Veronica gently covered her veil and said with a smile: "So you want to meet His Majesty, come and see me by the way. Go to the main hall quickly, it's getting late, don't let me go
Your Majesty, please wait."
"Teacher, you are wrong. I came here specifically to see you. As for Your Majesty, it is really just 'by the way'." Chen Rui's tone was very sincere, "Besides, after this time, I don't know if I can see you again.
Teacher."
Veronica was slightly shocked: "Why do you say that?"
"The great emperor became more and more wary of me and kept using various means to restrict me. This time I couldn't bear it anymore and pulled out a chess piece he had planted in Jin Yao's territory, which also gave him a reason to use it as an excuse.
If I'm not lucky... I may never see the teacher again."
"How could he do this?" Veronica trembled: "No matter what, you are father and son after all, and you were his most beloved son..."
"So what about my most beloved son? For the sake of the throne, for power, brothers and sisters killed each other, and father and son turned against each other. There are countless examples in history. It's a pity..." Chen Rui looked a little sad, not because of "Chen Rui",
But for "Arthur".
"It's a pity that your Majesty doesn't know what little Arthur wants?" Veronica sighed softly, "Although you have changed a lot, I can see that you don't care about what your Majesty is obsessed with.
"
Chen Rui raised his eyebrows slightly: "Teacher, do you know what I want?"
"Maybe it's just this cup of tea, a quiet yard, and a person who can put down all masks and baggage to talk." There was a touch of tenderness in Veronica's blue eyes, "Just like little Arthur back then..."
"It seems that a lot of things about me have not changed." Chen Rui said with a pun: "Whether it's 'Little Arthur' or 'Arthur', there are always things in common. There are some coincidences, maybe more than
It was an accident. In short, I am very happy to have such a cup of tea, a quiet yard, and..."
"Okay, little Arthur," Veronica interrupted what he was about to say, "open your heart and have a good talk with His Majesty. After all, he is your most doting father. As long as he understands your ambition, he will not
It’s embarrassing for you.”
"No, it's not the time yet." Chen Rui took a deep look at Veronica. "Since the teacher asked me to open my heart, why did I lock the door in my heart tightly again?"
"You really should go!" Veronica avoided the question, seeming to have made up her mind, "This is the last time we meet. I won't see you again, and you shouldn't come to me again. We,
After all, we are people from two worlds."
At this time, in another place...or another world.
The royal tomb of Mias Kingdom. Underground world.
This is an altar. Although it is only three stories high, it has a majestic momentum. However, it gives people a terrifying and terrifying feeling because it is surrounded by towers made of accumulated bones and lines of corpses.
Roads cover the entire vast underground world. It is unknown how many lives were sacrificed to complete this complex of buildings that can be called a "miracle" and also a "hell on earth".
On the altar are two mysterious people wearing crimson cloaks and masks, Kurchi and Rotus. These two names must be pseudonyms, but the attire is an out-and-out identity representative - Black Death
Patriarch of the Apostles.
In addition to the two patriarchs, there were also several regional archbishops and principals in charge, as well as the church's strongest force representative, the Messenger of Destruction.
The most advanced of the Destruction Messengers is the Great Destruction Messenger. There are only two of them, and their strength is at the demigod level. There are six ordinary Destruction Messengers, the lowest of which is the first stage of the kingdom, including the one who is known as the strongest Destruction Messenger.
Shura.
This is the main ceremony held once in a hundred years. Except for the Pope whose name is only heard but not seen, almost all the elites of the mysterious church are gathered here.
Compared with the unfinished main altar of "Fear" in the Jinhui Underground Palace, the main altar of "Hate" is quite complete, and judging from the appearance, it should have a very long history.
Those who participate in the main ceremony are all the core Black Death disciples. These people must pass layers of checks and the most reliable verification of beliefs when entering. People who do not have the true belief in destruction cannot pass at all.
Due to the lesson learned from the destruction of the main altar of "Fear" in the Jinhui Underground Palace, the already more powerful main altar of "Hate" has once again strengthened its defenses. On the periphery is the powerful telekinesis power of countless resentful souls. There are these most elite messengers of destruction, plus
The bone tower forest and the power of the main altar itself, which can accept "hateful" beliefs from all over the world, make it very difficult for even a pseudo-god-level powerhouse to break through the defense and forcefully break in.
However, strong fortresses are often broken from the inside. The so-called test of faith is not foolproof. For Shura, who is "destruction" himself, he can easily pass that kind of "destruction" by just using his instinctive will.
The test of "faith", especially the extremely pure aura of destruction, is also regarded as one of the candidates most likely to win the favor of the master in this "divine descent" sacrifice.
The sacrifice began, and countless essences refined from blood and life were thrown into the altar. After completing a series of complicated rituals, all the bone towers shone with a strong aura of destruction, and countless bloody clouds lingered around the towers, mixed with faith.
A special source of power surges towards the main altar in the center.
About half an hour later, the blood in the Bone Tower Forest gradually became thinner, and the entire dark red main altar turned bright red. The space in the concave pit in the center began to twist, and a whirlpool-like entrance appeared, glowing with blood-red light.
Come.
Under the influence of this blood-red light, the invested essence condensed into a blood-red bead, faintly revealing a black electric light.
Shura, who was guarding the altar, saw this blood bead, his eyes suddenly shone with strange light, and a familiar name came to his mind.
"Pearl of Blood Oblivion!" Kurci showed a look of surprise, and looked at each other with Luo Tesi. It seems that the power of the Lord's arrival this time is far greater than before. Just the aura infection before the arrival condensed into
A powerful treasure equivalent to an artifact that originally required countless life sacrifices to be obtained.
The blood energy in the Bone Tower Forest became darker and darker, the essence power was concentrated on the main altar, and its own strength began to decline significantly.
The main altar trembled, and the blood-red vortex in the center turned into a pillar of light, rising to the top of the underground world. The blood-red light emitted with a powerful aura of destruction.
The nearby Black Death disciples clearly felt the power of that "god" and all showed fanatical looks.
Longhuang Imperial Palace, Ziyuan Palace.
Veronica seemed to sense something and her body trembled.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?" Chen Rui asked with concern.
"I'm fine," Veronica's voice contained a hint of anxiety: "You go, leave here far away, leave the Dragon Emperor's Kingdom!"
"Okay! Veronica," Chen Rui stood up without calling him 'teacher' this time, "let me take you with me. Let's leave here together, go to a new place, and start life again. Whatever you want
In any capacity, sister, teacher or others... If you are tired of my company, you can also choose absolute freedom. This is the last and biggest wish of 'Little Arthur'."
Looking at those sincere eyes, Veronica's hands began to tremble slightly, as if she was desperately suppressing something. (To be continued...)
ps: I have been writing since I came back, and this chapter is 3500, and today it is 7000. Thank you for waiting for so long. To be honest, I am tired. You can write articles that take one minute or a few minutes or even flash sales, but I have to write for a long time.
This chapter is a thank you to book friends for giving me tips. As you all have seen, I stayed up very late today and had to think about the plot. I will probably fall asleep at 2 o'clock at the earliest. I don't know if I will still have time tomorrow.
If you really can't make an update, push it back and do your best. As a guarantee of your character, you will never let go.
