Act 89 Redemption IV

History is quietly reflected in the starry night sky. Those dazzling new stars are said to be the heroes of the past. They overlook the earth from the sky and gaze at today's world with the eyes of history. Read the full text of "The Demon King's Dominance of Lazy Concubine". The wind above the pine forest never stopped for a moment, but it was not violent. Instead, it gently blew the needles with an invisible hand, causing them to sway neatly and make a rustling sound.

It's like talking in a dream, telling the past of this forest.

The edge of the world collapsed as the dream progressed, and the surrounding forest seemed to be swallowed up by endless fog, but only this small world was left in the void - the wind in the mountains passed through the forest, on the meadow, and in the carriage , the assassinated elf girl, together with Brando and his party, form this still picture.

The moonlight spreads over the mountains and fields, and time flows quietly along with the starry fields like rivers. The bright moon is like a hook, rising in the west and setting in the east.

For everyone, this is the end of the dream, but it is not a line; Brando raised his head and looked at the entire forest, his eyes passed through the overlapping tree trunks and fell on the dark carriage. He opened his mouth and shouted: "Kadel, I know you are here, come out and let me see your tricks."

There was a moment of silence, so quiet that you could hear a pin drop——

A pale figure appeared in the carriage. The figure swayed slightly, like a ghost, shining brightly, as if shrouded in pale phosphorus fire. He wore straight noble clothes and carried an elf sword at his waist, but he had no face. Only a pair of sparkling eyes remained on his face as flat as a stone slab.

Without a mouth, there is no communication. The Miner people say that language is a bridge between people, but the nameless person has already escaped into his own dream. Lost forever, so no need for ears or mouth except eyes to 'doubt'.

The pale ghost appeared at the door of the carriage, silently staring at Brando. It said nothing, and neither did Brando.

It seemed like a long time before the ghost slowly said, "Why do you want to challenge me?"

Although it has no mouth. But the sound seemed to echo throughout the forest, like thunder rolling in from the sky. Haruze was so frightened that his face turned pale. She involuntarily shrank behind her sister, but the princess and her group didn't seem to hear it. They looked at the direction of Brando's conversation at a loss. It was as if nothing existed there.

"You should understand what you should do, and what you want to protect here is just an illusion that does not exist. You should return to your world instead of wasting time here. Otherwise, you will be addicted to a dream. In such a trance, you can never wake up." Viscount Cardel said slowly. "But you came here and let me see your weak choice. Did you choose to stay here forever and indulge in the illusion of the past?"

If you can't threaten, why don't you just 'follow the temptation'? Brando sneered and drew his sword. Pointing to this pale shadow: "What is weaker than weakness? You are just an incomplete personality. Anger and jealousy have already annihilated your mind. In the experience of wandering in the forest for a long time, paranoia has already swallowed you up. As a human being, how can someone like you understand what salvation is?"

He breathed a sigh of relief. Showing his sharp teeth, he replied: "What you have forgotten is not just your reputation. You have forgotten something more important. It has long been lost on the long road behind you. Viscount Cardel, that The starting point of everything. The root of regret is hidden under many scars, but I will also find it out and show it to you——"

"The reason why people learn to cry is to protect the pain, but you have already forgotten it. Because you can no longer be called a human being."

The blade of the Earth Sword, as dark as a dream, pointed straight ahead, towards the chest of the pale shadow, but it was also like a dividing line in the forest, separating the world here from the other side.

The ghost had an annoyed look on his face.

The next moment, a trace of fire reflected in the depth of Haruze's silver eyes. The flame burned out from the carriage behind Viscount Kadel. The flame spread behind Viscount Kadel,

In the blink of an eye, the forest land was turned into a sea of ​​fire. Viscount Cardel's eyes sparkled. He waved his hand indifferently and made a scream-like voice: "Okay, let me see how hard you can keep your words -"

"In your heart, the so-called persistence is nothing but fragility."

"The human heart is full of delusion."

The pale ghost stretched out his left hand, and the fingers had turned into sharp claws. A hole suddenly appeared on his face without facial features, which looked like a mouth, making a silent mockery of everyone.

Then the sea of ​​​​fire enveloped the entire forest. In the firelight, thick fog rose, and the surrounding scenery changed again. Brando felt that there were still burning flames around him, but he looked around. The pine forest was no longer there. What appeared in his field of vision was a straight corridor. On one side of the corridor was a large floor-to-ceiling arch window. Outside the arch window, the manor and the The palace stretches up and down into the brilliant lights in the distance.

But this bright pearl sitting on the plain was covered in dust at the moment. The whole city was burning, and the fire was everywhere. Brando and the little prince beside him saw the flames spreading along the palace and burning until Underfoot, everywhere you look, there is a sea of ​​fire.

The glass of the arch window shattered in the high temperature, and then countless skeleton soldiers poured in from the outside. These skeletons were swaying and holding long swords of Hades steel, with phosphorus fire in their eyes, bright or dark, surrounding them in this direction. come over.

On those dark swords, Bromando's blooming black rose was so dazzling, it was like a sharp thorn, which made Brando's pupils shrink in circles.

What a familiar scene, the undead emerged from the sea of ​​fire, the palace burned, the city collapsed, and the undead army swept across the homeland, leaving only scorched earth wherever it passed.

Eruin's glorious flag finally turned to ashes this night. It was the last night there, and the tragedy in Eruin's player's heart reappeared in his memory.

Menstros’ final battle——

Viscount Cardel's sharp laughter echoed in the air, but there was jealousy in the laughter: "Do you think making a choice is so simple? But reality will always force you, you will face a desperate situation, life or death, you must choose one of the two. 1. What do mortals mean in the face of the power of fate?"

But Brando ignored him at all. He felt that his strength was still only at the level of Peak Silver. He immediately turned back and said to Haruze beside him: "Take your sister to retreat to Jinteng Palace, and try to find a passable road from there to Baiqiang Castle. You should know that there is a secret passage leading underground. river."

"But what about you, teacher?" Haruze's hand was held tightly by Princess Griffin. He couldn't help but raised his head and asked with some worry.

"Of course I will retreat with you. What are you thinking?" Brando replied angrily: "But I have to deal with these skeletons. You won't ask me to hold your sister all the time, right?"

Princess Griffin was startled for a moment, and then she noticed that Brando had been grabbing her wrist, and she hurriedly broke away with a blushing face. "I know the secret passage. The secret passage is under the bed in the room where the queen lived. Come with me." She replied calmly.

Haruze stuck out his tongue and hurriedly covered his sister as she retreated into the corridor behind Brando. Brando turned around. Although the skeletons were slow, they were approaching. He knew that the fight with these low-level undead creatures would be endless. He looked up at the structure of the corridor, raised his sword and cut it with two swords on the left and right. A row of pillars on both sides of the corridor were broken, and the corridor that lost its support suddenly collapsed, crushing all the swaying undead underneath.

There were only two or three fish that slipped through the net. Brando kicked them back into the ruins one by one, then put away his sword, turned around and ran away.

Jin Teng Palace had been completely immersed in the sea of ​​​​fire, but at least it was similar to what happened in his memory. The corridor leading to the inner courtyard used a large number of stone buildings, so it was well preserved in the sea of ​​​​fire. They walked through this road to get through. Not long after walking towards the White Rose Castle, the outline of the Cruz-style castle was already looming in the night.

The White Rose Castle was built before the Year of the Golden Hoof. Its earliest owners were actually the Cruz people, but after they arrived, they were assigned to the late king and his subjects along with the land. After the Year of Revelation, the castle was destroyed by a fire and later rebuilt together with the Kinten Palace. What Brando sees now is the rebuilt castle.

This castle is the last fortress of the Menstros Palace, and it was also the last fortress that was captured when the royal capital fell during the Third Black Rose War.

"The castle's drawbridge must have been pulled up. Now we can only use the back door from the kitchen." Her Royal Highness reminded her as she ran.

Brando nodded. This was pretty much what he expected. There was no way to go in the kitchen, but there was a passage to transport food. As long as you entered the inner city, you would have a way to escape from Jinteng Palace. But as for where to go after leaving the inner city, he didn't think much about it.

Now it's time to make a desperate move.

They had just rushed into the small woods in the courtyard in front of the castle, and suddenly a group of knights in black clothes and black armor appeared in front of them. Brando couldn't help seeing those knights covered in armor with blue phosphorus fire under their steel masks. His eyebrows twitched.

black Knight.

He almost groaned in his heart. In this era, these should be the elite knights with golden rank in Madara's undead army. If he still had his original strength, it would be easy to deal with them, but now, it would undoubtedly be a life-or-death battle to break through their defenses.

Because of the control of Viscount Cardel, the black knights almost immediately discovered the traces of the princess and her party. They turned around and charged towards the dead horse that was sitting down, charging forward while raising the pitch black in their hands. long knife. (To be continued)
