Chapter 1006 Meeting with Shadow Tiansi
There is no doubt that the environment in the Land of Shadows is terrifying.
The dark and lightless night, the biting cold wind, the weird and shrill roars that came from time to time in the night... and the non-stop lightning and thunder. It's an ominous scene of an approaching storm, but this place has never been able to calm down the approaching storm.
The Kingdom of Shadows does not have "citizens" in the ordinary sense, so you can't see any civilians when walking on the road. In that empty and silent wilderness, there was nothing but various monsters.
The land here is gray or black, and there are trees and shrubs around it. But their shapes are as craggy as skeletons, and the color of all these plants is black. When the lightning lights up in the sky, a dazzled person will easily regard them as shadow monsters with claws and teeth.
——It looks like a world shrouded in a black and white filter. There are only three colors in the whole world: black, white and gray, and the black and gray are overwhelmingly numerous. It's like a gloomy black-and-white movie or a dirty black-and-white comic.
The only ones who "came alive" were these warriors from the Kingdom of Shadows, as well as outsiders like Aiwass and Yassen.
The color of their clothes, hair color, and eye color are the only colors in this dark world. But even so, some of those warriors gradually "turned black and white" - the price or blessing of living in the Kingdom of Shadows for a long time is that they are gradually infiltrated by the power of shadows, and eventually become an elemental life irreversibly.
Just look at their clothes, skin, pupils, hair... The more color they lose, the longer they may stay here. Of course, it may also be because he is too weak to resist the erosion of the shadow power. For example, Lancelot, he is almost half soaked in shadow.
In this shadow world without sun or moon, time will lose its meaning.
But fortunately, these soldiers are extremely cheerful.
They actively separated out a few people to carry the prey on their backs, while the rest gathered around Aiwass and Yassen enthusiastically and curiously.
The soldiers shared their "Shadow Brew" with Aiwass and his party, and asked them about what happened in the world. And Aiwass and Yassen were not taciturn and introverted people. They both accepted the wine generously, and while drinking, they chatted with them vividly about the stories that happened outside, causing the soldiers to exclaim one after another. .
That feeling is quite new to Aiwass, but quite familiar to Yassen - he often visits some of his predecessors who have been in prison for more than ten or decades, and something like this will happen then. dialogue.
This effectively dispelled his fear of "phantoms".
...These legendary dead souls, the cruel shadow warriors of the Kingdom of Shadows... are actually just a group of prisoners with a rich entertainment life. From what they said, Ying Tiansi was already a very good boss, but they were still not allowed to leave the Kingdom of Shadows at will - the only one allowed to visit was probably Yantiansi.
Because there are too many strange and dangerous demons in the dream world. There is even a considerable part of the power that can be against Tiansi, but there is just no chance to win the fragments of Tiansi...
After all, the Tiansi fragment itself is a kind of strengthening, just like Wu Tiansi and Yantiansi are much stronger than before after being upgraded. Even powerful phantoms as powerful as the Fairy Queen are not too rare in the dream world. So Yingtiansi doesn't want them to run around in the dream world.
And the relationship between them and Yingtiansi, which belongs to the path of love, makes Yingtiansi unwilling to put them into the material world.
So they were trapped here, sitting in the sweet prison day after day. I'm usually pretty happy... but I can only listen to the various stories told by the witches who have returned from the material world.
But witches are the best at deception, and they also have some evil intentions towards them. What they say is half-truth and half-false, and they don’t count, and they deliberately collude to tease them. Now with two outsiders, Aiwass and Yassen, they can finally know whether those words are true or false.
They were like students on an outing, eating, drinking, and strolling leisurely.
He couldn't count how many thunders had fallen in total, but he finally saw something different.
It was a castle made of black and gray.
It stands in the dark canyon cracks - unlike many castles that like to be built on high places, it was built in the center of a sunken basin. Although it looks quite huge, it only has two floors in terms of scale, which does not seem to match the status of the "Queen of the Kingdom of Shadows"...
"The castle is downward."
Lancelot was drinking wine with Aiwass side by side at the moment. He saw the meaning in Aiwass's eyes and quickly explained: "It's like falling into the abyss like death, and like the shadow is always there. Behind the sun. If the lightning is in the sky, the downward shadow can extend infinitely... That is Ying Tiansi's "Infinity Palace". It used to be a huge hollow, a palace built by Her Majesty the Queen. I usually live there.”
"Even if that's the case," Yassen was a little confused, "then why build a second floor?"
"That's called the Thunder Observation Platform."
Lancelot replied: "Her Majesty the Queen sometimes stands there and performs divination or curses through the shadows cast by the lightning when it falls."
"Are there any lights in the palace?"
Aiwass was somewhat concerned about this issue.
Although he also has night vision... but since he got the ability of the Candle Child, he has been inexplicably fond of light. Just being in the Shadow Kingdom for a while made him feel a little uncomfortable.
"——That's natural."
Before Lancelot responded, a woman's voice sounded out of nowhere, full of smiles: "Without light, how can there be shadows?"
As she spoke, she saw the tall female giant pushing the door out of the castle-
It was undoubtedly a pure-blooded giant.
Unlike those ugly and rough male giants who looked like gorillas, female giants are usually very beautiful. But their skin is usually not very good, and there will be white skin dirt with rock texture like peeling wall skin. It looks like a cracked giant stone statue.
But Shadow Tiansi is not like that. Her skin is soft and clean, without the slightest crack.
She looks about four meters tall, which is considered petite among pure-blooded giants, and tall among priestesses. She has long, silky hair that should have been fiery red, but now it has been dyed dark red like red wine by shadows. Her pupils were also blood red, with countless broken diamond facets shining like a kaleidoscope.
She had an elven-style beauty with a bit of heroic spirit - not as stunningly beautiful as Cardinal Galatea, nor as hazy and mysterious as Mist Sky.
If you ignore her huge height, she looks like a cheerful, generous and confident beauty. At this moment, she was wearing a dark red leather armor with a high degree of exposure, and a cloak made of shadowy night behind her. Behind her was a hideous blood-red spear covered with thorns, which looked like the spine of a fish and some kind of huge harpoon.
- There is no doubt that it was Shadow Sky. Scathach, the queen of the Shadow Kingdom.
She came out to greet Aiwas before he entered the castle.
"Hello, Her Majesty!"
Yasen half-knelt on the ground without hesitation.
He couldn't imagine at all - he, a lowly thief, would be able to meet Sky one day!
Even while still alive, he saw the Heavenly Master with his own eyes!
This made him feel like he was living in a dream... Oh no, this seemed to be a dream.
But this also made him tremble with fear, and he dared not be disrespectful at all - this was a real Heavenly Master! A real god!
The god appeared dozens of meters in front of him!
But his reaction was different.
The other warriors did not show much respect to the Queen of the Shadow Kingdom.
They shouted enthusiastically: "Your Majesty, our guests have caught a big prey for us!"
"My lord, Vio and the others can now wake up again!"
"Dear, should we have a banquet!"
The warriors have different names for the Shadow Heavenly Master.
And no matter what the name is, there is not much "reverence" in it, but it contains real "love".
These people are aggressive, lustful, jealous, good at fighting, and good at sex. Ying Tiansi is not adaptable to the path of authority, so she doesn't care how much respect these people have for her - because they are her things, pets, and lovers.
As long as the pet doesn't show its teeth, no matter how naughty it is, it can be forgiven. Even if it shows its teeth, it's better - although Ying Tiansi is a priest, she is also a warrior. If someone dares to challenge her, she can fight with the other party happily.
No matter where or what form of duel, she will accept it with pleasure.
Ying Tiansi smiled and waved his hand: "Pull them down - let your brothers out! Then, dismember them and eat their meat!
"Go and call those fairies, my warriors! Ask them for the best wine and have a banquet tonight!"
"-Oh! "
"Great--"
The soldiers shouted happily.
They were all tough guys with high execution and decisive personalities. No one wasted any time and they all dispersed in a swarm.
--Even though there was a banquet every night, the soldiers would always look forward to tomorrow's dinner. Banquets were originally the authority of Yan Tiansi, but Ying Tiansi was jealous of the banquet host's good banquets and many friends, so he also insisted on holding banquets to keep the souls he favored.
When the soldiers dispersed, there were only two soldiers left around Aiwas.
Ares, the destroyer of the country, and Lancelot.
After they greeted Ying Tiansi politely, they also left tactfully.
