Chapter 1060: Aria of the Queen of the Night
"——I'll do it."
Unexpectedly... it was Arsen, the weakest of the three, who stood up without hesitation.
He strode forward and looked closely at the Count of Orleans.
A golden glow gradually ignited in his pupils - that was the resonance from the principle of balance.
Aiwas looked at Arsen with interest.
He didn't know what Arsen thought of and what kind of determination he made to dare to fight a fifth-level Moon Son in the opponent's home court. You know, Arsen is not good at fighting... He is only good at running away.
The Count of Orleans also obviously knew Arsen's background.
"Actually..."
Therefore, he didn't feel any pressure at all, but just stood there and sneered: "You dare to challenge me, Arsen?"
The Count still held the cane in one hand and stood there motionless.
From this address, he obviously knew Arsen.
This is not surprising, after all, Yasen was once a famous thief who stole from the rich... and in Iris, at least half of the rich are Moon Children, and the remaining half are mostly closely related to Moon Children.
Whether it is witches, sorcerers or the magic potions they prepare, wealthy businessmen are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them; and the large number of blood slaves needed by the Moon Children have to rely on the channels of these merchants to find them.
Relying only on night hunting, there are no good prey to find - for the Moon Children, the best food is the extraordinary people of the Dedication Path, or mortals who are adaptable to the Dedication Path. And it is best to be good-looking and young.
——And Yasen happened to have the level of the Dedication Path.
"Did you forget..."
Before the Count finished speaking, the whole person disappeared in an instant.
The next moment, he instantly moved in front of Yasen.
Raised his cane and slapped Yasen's face hard!
——Dang!
It was a crisp sound like wooden sticks hitting each other.
Arsen didn't have time to draw his sword, so he could only hold the hilt of the dagger with difficulty, and raised his left arm to defend himself with the scabbard.
The scabbard was almost knocked out of his hand by the cane, revealing a flash of cold light.
The count held the cane in one hand, and pressed down hard with an expressionless face: "Have you ever been sucked blood by me?"
In an instant, Arsen suddenly released his left hand.
The next attack came instantly, knocking the dagger directly away.
And the palm of Arsen's open left hand suddenly burst into a ball of daylight, causing the count to squint his eyes. And he himself rolled up his cloak and turned into nothingness.
At this moment, the dagger Sarastro that was knocked out was finally unsheathed-
The whistling illusion came like a tsunami.
Everyone was in a trance for a moment, and the surroundings were no longer the corridor full of corpses and stone statues before, but a dark blue palace. Looking around, all you can see is the cave-like palace under the night sky.
Everything around him did not disappear—neither the walls nor the corpses nor the other people. No one could see the other, and the sounds of their fight and the bloody smell around him all disappeared.
If he had not remembered the layout of the surrounding buildings, he would have suddenly crashed into the air.
However, Yassen was extremely skilled in moving through the illusion of nothingness.
It was not because he had control over the illusion, but because he was indeed very familiar with the layout of the buildings here.
The Count, relying on his instinct, suddenly pulled out his cane in a certain direction out of thin air!
Woo——
When he waved the cane, a sharp sound of breaking through the air was heard.
The dark blue air around him became blurred for a moment—the illusion was almost torn apart by his attack.
However, this attack missed.
At this moment, a deep roar suddenly came from all directions, accompanied by a sudden and powerful music:
"The flames of revenge like hell are burning in my heart!
"The fires of death and despair are devouring me——"
That was a high note that Yassen could not sing at all.
His deep voice sang with all his might like a roar.
And the dark flames roared out of nowhere, and the cold flames burned all over the land.
Although I did not see the battle between Yassen and the Count, the song that sounded out of nowhere made Ai The faces of Worth and Sherlock changed.
——It was too bad to listen to!
It was neither a tenor nor a soprano, but a broken voice like that of a eunuch.
It filled the entire night sky fantasy like some kind of background music, making the surroundings seem like hell for a moment.
"If you can't, let Sarastro die,
"Then you will never be my daughter again!"
This is the most aggressive spell in the opera "Lulu's Magic Flute" - the Queen of the Night's aria.
If the "piper" wants to be promoted to the sixth level of "Queen of the Night", he must understand and master this spell.
In this song, the Queen of the Night ordered her daughter to complete the mission of revenge for her. She is a sacred and noble "Queen of the Night", with an irritable and manic personality, a strong desire for control, but also a strong maternal love. When her daughter was in danger, she wanted to save her; she would also comfort her child with tenderness... But when she realized that her daughter no longer loved her and was about to betray her, she pushed her further away in a radical way.
The Queen of Night had long understood that her daughter was about to betray her fate, but she did not choose to redeem herself. She chose to face her fate in the midst of rage, irritability, and pain - that is exactly the principle of betrayal and revenge, which belongs to the divine power of the Shadow Sky Division!
——The so-called "Queen of the Night" here alludes to Ying Tiansi. It uses metaphors to describe the secrets of Ying Tiansi.
What is aroused from it is not only the fire of love, but also the fire of revenge.
Along with hatred and determination for revenge, the power of the fire will increase.
bite!
Suddenly, a dagger burning with black flames and a dagger body as black as night thrust straight out of nothingness!
At the same time, Yasen emerged from the void and pierced the illusion!
However, Yasen did not have the ability to adapt to the road after all.
He did not have the rank of an assassin. Even if the Count of Orleans could not detect his position, his sneak attack still failed.
The Earl of Orleans reacted instantly - he clenched his right hand holding the cane into a fist and punched Yassen in the face. Relying on the reaction force, he instantly took two steps back, raised his cane and pressed it against Yasen's chest; at the same time, he swung the cane to decapitate him!
bite!
Yassen raised the dagger Sarastro, which turned into a black flame dagger, and blocked the cane.
He raised his head, black flames burning in his pupils.
At this time, the dark flames were already spreading upward along the cane.
The corners of Yasen's mouth rose slightly for a moment, and at the same time he kept repeating: "Never be my daughter again.
"Then you will never be my daughter again—"
Every time he sang a line, the flames on the dagger in his hand became stronger, and the flames on the ground became higher.
The flame finally burned the Earl of Orleans.
The hem of his trousers, his right hand holding the cane, and his wrist were burned by the flames raised by the short sword.
But he didn't feel the burning heat, but an unusual coldness——
...Is this...the Fire of the Night Queen of the Vendome family?
The Count of Orleans frowned, and an irrepressible weariness and exhaustion hit his heart.
Flame burning requires fuel. And a lot of heat will be released in this process.
The Fire of the Night Queen is different - it directly extracts the "heat of people's hearts" and turns it into the fire of revenge.
Check out the correct version one by one!
Those burned by this fire will not turn into ashes, but will freeze into ice.
Where the flames burned, a thin layer of black frost had condensed on his trouser legs and hands. It looks as dark as obsidian.
His power is constantly being sucked away by the flames... If he continues to fight, he may become weaker and weaker.
It's just a pity...
The Count of Orleans clearly realized that this flame came from the power of the path of love.
It is the power imitated by the "opera" of the path of beauty!
Yassen, who is on the path of devotion, the path of beauty, and the path of balance, has no ability to deeply understand the path of love.
With the help of the Box of Nothingness, the Count of Orleans almost understood and controlled this flame!
This is completely impossible under the original circumstances.
——Only with the help of the Box of Nothingness can such an impossible thing be accomplished!
Perhaps it was because he never wavered at all and seemed calm as usual, while Yassen seemed to have tried his best and lost all momentum... Or maybe it was because Yassen's singing was so unpleasant that it offended and even awakened the Swan King. .
But in short, the black flame was gradually controlled by the Count of Orleans. The cold limbs gradually regained control.
He waved his cane with increasing ease, resisting Yassen's increasingly weaker attacks.
He looked calm, elegant and calm. Yasen's movements became slower and slower, and his strength continued to lose.
bite! bite! when!
Finally, the Count of Orleans turned from defense to offense.
After blocking Yasen's two consecutive attacks, he suddenly stepped forward.
He disappeared in an instant, but reappeared in an instant.
When Yasen turned around to defend, he suddenly kicked Yasen in the chest.
The moment he lost his balance, he immediately grasped the cane with both hands and placed it on his shoulders as if he were holding a rapier.
In an instant, he thrust forward!
The cane burning with black flames suddenly stabbed at the eye, and Yassen, who was in an unbalanced state, barely blocked it; he retracted the cane and stabbed at the throat again. Yassen had no choice but to hand over a substitute, allowing Count Orleans' cane to suddenly pierce the floating cane. clothes in the air, and he himself disappeared.
At this moment, Count Orleans gracefully waved his cane and slashed through the air.
——Yasen, who had just appeared after the double, suddenly had his right arm holding the dagger cut off by a bright red invisible blade!
It was not aimed at his landing point.
Instead, Yasen launched the attack before he appeared - to be precise, Yasen hit him himself!
The moment the dagger was "released", the surrounding illusions also distorted and dissipated. Yassen, who was leaning against the wall, covered his shoulders and stared at the Earl of Orleans.
And his right arm fell aside - it was still holding the dagger, and the black fire on the dagger was quickly dissipating. There are still some black fires burning on the floor, ceiling, and walls. Those ancient paintings are burning quietly in the fire of revenge, condensing into pieces of black ice.
"I know your methods too well, Yassen."
After the count launched an attack, he did not immediately pursue it.
Instead, he calmly stood there and attacked the other party with words, trying to further expand his "aura".
"Your little tricks can only deceive those lower-class humans who have no knowledge and no brains. To the noble Moon Son, they are not worth mentioning at all.
"How long do you think I have lived? Ten years? Decades? Or hundreds of years?"
The Earl of Orleans pretended to sigh and smiled: "Everything you have seen in your short life, I have already seen. What you can think of, I can also think of. Everything you have learned in your life has been It's nothing special...it's just something I left behind a long time ago.
"Stealing the wealth of the rich and giving it to the poor? How ridiculous. Aren't the poor still poor if they take the little gift? The rich will still be rich even if he loses his family heirloom.
"It's so ridiculous to want to complete the redistribution of wealth by yourself. You don't trust the government, you don't trust the parliament, and you don't submit to the king. Do you think you are better than everyone else?
"With your own strength, you want to defeat everyone? Haha, I wouldn't have had such a dream as you when I was a teenager, Yassen.
"It's time to wake up from the dream."
He raised his cane and pointed it at Yassen, who was leaning against the wall.
He only needs a thought to penetrate Yasen's heart directly.
"What a shame, Yassen."
The false smile on Count Orleans' face gradually faded into nothingness.
The arrogant eyes were extremely cold: "Why are you running away? Isn't it good to live here?
“Even if you don’t have the noble qualifications to become a child of the moon, you can still become a steward.
"Of course, of course... you are a big shot now. You were noticed by that old guy, became his son-in-law, and was ridden by his old daughter. Haha, that's great.
"Then let me tell you a story, Yassen. Do you know what happened after you escaped?
"You gave those blood slaves the illusion of freedom - if you can escape, so can they. If you can hold back, so can they.
"Can they? They can't."
The Count of Orleans said word for word: "You caused me to lose sixty-eight blood slaves. And countless wealth. All of this is because you gave them the illusion that they can escape from here."
"But what happened in the end? Those who wanted to escape couldn't escape, and those who had already escaped couldn't help it. In the end, they came back obediently. By the way, they sacrificed their colleagues and betrayed their friends.
"But even for those who came back, I didn't forgive them - they were all hanged, skinned, and Ling Chi.
"You have made me a disgrace, a disgrace among the Children of the Moon, Yassen...everyone is laughing at me. And you dare to come back and attack your master with swords. How do you think I should punish you?"
"——Let's not mention that."
Aiwass's voice appeared quietly behind him: "However, it is indeed time to wake up from the dream."
