Chapter 1689 Three Kings

"I swear allegiance to those behind me!"

White Weird shouted these words without any hesitation.

Compared with his own life, temporary surrender is nothing to the white weirdo.

However, what White Weird didn't expect was that even though it shouted the words, the sharp knife on its neck did not put down, but instead cut inward at a faster speed.

"That's why I said you have no brain."

"My lord asks you to be loyal, how come I don't know what you want?"

"With such bluffing words, you will only make yourself die faster!"

The two weirdos, the Minotaur and the Horsehead, sneered together.

Mantra bound!

White Weird reacted instantly.

Having come into contact with the kings of the 'Ring City' more than once, it knew exactly what terrifying things they were.

Once it is signed... then life or death will really not be up to you.

Even the kings around the city would not use it easily.

Not out of pity.

Simply because it’s expensive to use.

Because, you can't sign one of them.

When you start to sign one of them, you must consider the reaction of the people around you. In order to prevent the chain reaction caused by those with different intentions, signing them all is the best choice.

And this is what those kings cannot bear.

Only the false king on the ground had to choose this method because he could not move.

While gaining many 'loyal' subordinates, he lost the qualification to become a true 'king'.

White Weirdness does not wish to be bound by the bonds of the Mantra.

Can……

Does it have options?

Its head had been cut off in half.

If all of them were really cut off, even with its weird physique, it would die.

After all, it can't really be invisible.

About a second passed.

Bai Wei sighed dejectedly.

"I am willing to swear allegiance to the person behind me!"

This time the oath was quickly captured by the [Stone of Sioudi].

In a breath, the ‘covenant’ takes effect.

However, Kieran did not use 'Domination'.

Unlike that cunning 'Du', the strange white thing in front of him clearly shows that his brain is not enough and there is no need to waste it.

Feeling the 'covenant' in his heart, the white weird stood there like a mourning concubine at first, as if he had lost his life. However, after a while, he found that he still had his own thoughts and was in charge of his own activities, and he immediately became happy. .

Not a puppet?

The white weird looked at the Minotaur and Horsehead.

"Of course not a puppet!"

"We are not those guys who think we are smart and are still smart."

The Minotaur and the Horse-headed Monster said confidently.

There is no doubt that these two weird things are similar to the white weird things in Kieran's mind. They are both things that his brain is not using enough and does not need to be wasted.

"My lord, what do you need me to do?"

The white weirdo, who had not lost his mind and became a puppet, but still had self-awareness, naturally turned around and asked Kieran in the presence of the 'covenant'.

"I need to know everything in there."

Qin Ran said.

"You mean Ring City?"

"OK."

"I'll tell you everything."

White Weird didn't hide anything and began to tell what he knew.

Compared with the minotaurs and horse-headed monsters who have never entered the ringed city at all, the white monster knows about the ringed city in much more detail.

W City District, the outermost ring. In fact, the unnamed ring outside is also called W District. It is the largest area in the ring city and is home to many weirdos who obey the management of King A in the city.

Dingcheng District, the sub-outer ring, is a weird gathering place recognized by the kings. There are already secret magic arrays arranged by the kings here to obtain more negative energy.

In Bingcheng District, the outer ring, this is the military camp. The king's soldiers are stationed here, and the negative energy is even more intense. At the junction with the sub-outer ring, there is a market, which will open every fifteen days. The secrets in the outer ring of Time can be entered here at some cost.

Y City District, the inner ring, is where the generals and commanders under the kings live.

Jiacheng District, this is the core of the ring city and where the kings live.

"When the market opens, will the phone cost some money?"

Kieran asked about the topics he was interested in.

"Yes."

“Have you ever heard of excessive money?”

White Weird asked.

"Spending money?!"

"Is that this?"

Qin Ran was stunned for a moment, then took out a silver coin.

"yes!"

The white weirdo nodded repeatedly.

Immediately, Qin Ran narrowed his eyes.

It turns out that "duqian" is used as the currency unit.

So, what is the relationship between this place and the outside world?

Once part of the outside world?

Or does the money from the outside world spread from here?

Many thoughts appeared in his heart, which did not stop Qin Ran from asking questions.

"Who are the kings?"

Qin Ran continued to ask.

"There were four kings at first, but then they became three."

"They are: King Wren, King Wren and King Qi."

"The three of them are the same as the missing Niou, they are the founders of the ringed city."

"According to rumors, they existed when Ring City was born."

White Weird mentioned the King of Ring City with respect on his face.

"Is that benevolent king dead?"

Qin Ran asked.

"have no idea."

"Probably missing."

"When Nioh disappeared, I had just become the gatekeeper of Wucheng District. I don't know much, but in my memory, the ring city at that time was very chaotic, and wars broke out almost every day."

"However, the weirdos around me say that it was because of Niou's disappearance that the enemy had an opportunity to take advantage of him."

White Weird said.

When he mentioned the enemy, the strange white face became even weirder.

The Minotaur on the side snorted.

"What enemy?"

"It's not a civil war yet!"

"The disappearance of Nioh-sama is the fault of the other three kings!"

"Those three bastards!"

yelled the Minotaur.

Such words immediately made White Weird feel angry.

It stared at the Minotaur, and the latter stared at the bull's eyes, not to be outdone, and compared with the opponent.

However, neither of the two weirdos took action.

They all know who is in charge here.

And the Horsehead?

There was no expression on the horse's face, but he firmly stood on the Minotaur's side, and prepared to help the Minotaur beat the white monster together if the white monster dared to attack it.

Kieran was not interested in his men's weird arguments.

Neither the civil war nor the foreign affairs interested him.

Therefore, Qin Ran waved his hand and continued to ask.

"Where's the scarlet skull?"

"what is it?"

"It is an ally of the kings. It joined the ringed city after Nioh disappeared. It lives in the Jiacheng District, but most of the time, it wanders around the ringed city and rarely goes back."

"However, it just brought a person to see the kings."

White Weird said, describing the person's appearance.

Moreover, he made a special explanation about the odor on the other party's body.

"That person should have come in from the Stinky River."

"It is rumored that the Stinky Water River has a passage to the outside world."

"I didn't expect it to be true."

The Minotaur was amazed.

"That man is truly a brave man!"

The horse-headed monster was also amazed.

To this, the Minotaur and the white monster, who knew what the Stinky Water River was, nodded together.

A river of stinking water is even more terrifying than a fermented cesspool.

Someone swam into the ringed city from inside... Although the distance to the outside world was unknown, it was definitely not something that could be accomplished over a short distance or in a short period of time.

Just thinking about these three weirdos makes me full of admiration.

If it were them, they would rather die than go.

After all, once you enter the smelly river, you will most likely drown.

It would be better to die than to drown in a cesspool.

"With someone?"

Qin Ran pondered for a moment.

He didn't ask any more questions. Based on Weird White's description, he was pretty sure that person was Victor.

He didn't know how the other party faked his death.

But he knew what the other party wanted to do when he entered the ringed city: to completely provoke a war between humans and monsters in the outside world.

Everything was just as he guessed.

So……

Is there really a "bait" in Ring City that can start a war?

"Where is the treasure house around the city?"

Kieran asked without hesitation.

"In the royal city!"

"I don't know where it is specifically."

White Weird replied.

"No need to know where."

"Of course someone will show us the way."

Kieran said and walked towards the suspension bridge.

The three weirdos didn't know what was going on, but they followed them immediately.

At this time, Palladia, who had always regarded himself as a little transparent and tried not to be noticed, very much wanted to leave the team like Ponard and others who had left the team before.

However, he knew very well that he was different from them.

With the 'covenant', he and Kieran were really like grasshoppers on the same rope.

No one can escape.

There is only one path, leading to darkness.

but……

Can we not seek death like this?

Go directly to the opponent's royal city treasure house!

That’s not how you seek death, right?

Although the treasure is good, it must have a life, right?

All lives are lost.

What do you want treasure for?

Palladia, filled with despair, followed.

Lucan, who was walking side by side with Palladia, didn't care.

Even, very happy.

He came here just to find the treasure in the North Forest. He could confirm that the treasure should be in Huancheng, and that Kieran had saved his life.

Now being able to retrieve the treasures in the northern forest, and also be able to help Kieran and repay the life-saving grace, in the eyes of the northern herders, it is really killing two birds with one stone.

Arriving at the suspension bridge, Weird White picked up the stick full of wraiths.

However, he did not open the door, but led Qin Ran to the side.

"What are you doing?"

The Minotaur glared.

"What your Excellency wants to go to is the treasure house. You need to pass through the four urban areas of Ding, Bing, Ji, and A. In addition to the many guards, after entering the inner city, there are even more generals and soldiers under their command. Do you think that your Excellency will bring them with you?" Can you go in directly?"

The white weird snorted coldly.

"Do you have a direct secret passage?"

The Minotaur was stunned.

"It's not a secret passage!"

"It's an emergency exit."

White Weird emphasized, and then pushed open the wall on one side, revealing a passage large enough for one person to pass through.

The passage is very crude and does not look like it was built in advance.

Instead, it’s like a single person digging it out bit by bit.

Immediately, the Minotaur, Horsehead, and Lucan looked at the white monster strangely.

"Standing here for hundreds of years, can't I find a hobby for myself?"

“What’s wrong with digging a hole?”

The white weirdo asked, squinting his neck.

"Nothing wrong."

"I just didn't expect that we would be weird all the way."

The Minotaur laughed evilly.

The Minotaur's favorite thing to do in the Outer Rim is to rob people on the road.

Stealing food and treasures from other weak and weird hands is its greatest enjoyment in this life.

As such, the Minotaur is notorious for its weirdness.

White Weird certainly knows such a reputation.

"I hate people with no skills like you the most."

It said with disdain.

Naturally, such words once again aroused the Minotaur's retort.

Paradia paid no attention to the quarrels filling his ears and looked at Kieran pitifully.

When this cave entrance appeared, he knew that his mission had appeared again.

But……

He really didn't want to accept such a task.

Not to mention that the passage dug by the white monster himself is not safe or unsafe. Just entering the royal city is enough to make everything unsafe.

He didn't want to plunge into the lair of the three kings.

Kieran simply ignored Paradia's request.

"Exploring the path."

Kieran said calmly.

"Okay, my lord."

Palladia walked into the passage with a sad face.

The moment before entering the passage, Palladia turned his head and looked at the white monster and said: "You'd better pray that the passage you dug is safe, otherwise, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"

"After the tunnel was dug, I went in and out once or twice a year, and it was always safe and sound."

"How could something happen?"

"On the walls inside, there are also various exits that I marked."

"Remember to listen carefully when pushing open the entrance to see if there is any movement outside."

White Weird is confident in the passage he dug.

After asking in detail about the meaning of the marked text, Palladia turned around and got into the passage.

…

Huancheng, Wangcheng District.

Victor stood in front of a room that was obviously a guest room. He looked at the Red Skull with confusion.

"I have no sense of smell, so it doesn't matter."

"But those three kings are different."

"If you don't want to be thrown out before you even meet the three kings, I suggest you take a good cleanse here."

The scarlet skull said.

"How often does a king around the city have so many unnecessary rules?"

Victor frowned.

"From the time when the ring city was established."

"From the time they were revered as kings."

"Everything changed quietly."

The scarlet skull said, exited the room and closed the door.

Looking at the closed door, a sneer appeared on the corner of Victor's mouth.

What a poor cover-up.

Victor thought to himself and walked into the bathroom.

When the sound of water sounded, the red skeleton had arrived at the core of the royal city: the royal palace.

On three tall thrones made of metal, three figures sat on them. The light and shadow intertwined, making it impossible to see the faces of the three kings clearly, but it made their bodies taller and taller.

A mysterious aura hangs over them all the time.

The scarlet skull felt the vast and mysterious aura, and admired it again from the bottom of his heart.

This is not the first time he has seen the Three Kings.

But every time I lament the power of the three kings.

Likewise, you will also be reminded of what you should do.

After bowing and saluting, the scarlet skull said word by word——

"Three Your Majesties."

"Victor is already here."

"He...has bad intentions!"
