Chapter 127 Ashes and Dark Clouds

Deer Horn did not take the king's head himself, but wanted to give it to another person.

"Let's make a deal... I will only do the mission this time, and you can kill those people."

He negotiated with Lily in this way, showing his harmlessness and kindness.

He spread his hands, palms facing outward, indicating that he had no hostility: "I will only be your helper this time, as your bait. I will stand outside to attract other people's attention, and you can take the opportunity to sneak attack at the right opportunity... If I am in danger, you don't need to appear to rescue me.

"In this way, you don't have to worry about my betrayal, and I can also be your loyal teammate-how? There is no harm in this for you, right? "

Lu Jiao certainly knew that it was easy for people who adapted to the Tao to betray others.

But did he encounter fewer two-faced people in his daily life?

He had long been accustomed to contacting such people.

People who are used to betraying are not necessarily going to betray. As long as they can be given enough benefits and a sense of security, and the cost of their betrayal is increased, these people can still be used.

And Lu Jiao was sure that Aleister should be a young man under 20 years old. The "knight" was just in his early twenties, and now he was sure that the king was one of the very few utilitarian transcendents who would not be promoted after obtaining the mysterious skills.

In other words, all the rest of the people were dual-path. Including this "gray robe".

Since it was a dual-path, it would not be easy to be like It's as extreme as a single-path transcendent... just like he is still very talkative even though he is in the dusk path.

And Lu Jiao always feels that the other person's personality should be good.

Because he feels that he has no hostility towards this gray-robed gentleman, and even has a vague affinity. There is no basis for this, it's just his instinct - but his instinct has always been more accurate.

Although Lu Jiao did not get a response from the gray-robed man immediately. But he vaguely heard that the king's breathing suddenly disappeared and made a very low "cluck" sound. It was like someone strangled his throat, but Lu Jiao didn't notice where the "gray robe" was.

After a while, a low voice sounded.

"Okay. His body is for you."

-It's been less than half a minute, right?

Such a skilled bare-handed strangulation... Is he from the strangling party?

Lu Jiao had a vague guess in his heart.

But the strangling party may not be unable to cooperate.

He smiled cheerfully: "Speaking of fate... I don't know if you have heard of a saying. Among the nine great paths, three are still moving, three are quiet, and three are changeable. Wisdom, adaptation, and dusk are all quiet paths, and you are a very typical adaptor.

"But for the dusk path, I am a talkative person."

Lu Jiao said, reaching out his hand to grope on the ground and found the still warm head of the corpse.

He reached out and pressed on the other's forehead, and the dim light slowly crawled on the face of the "king" corpse along his five fingers like a worm.

"My friend, my family, my love. The people I killed by mistake, the people I couldn't save."

Lu Jiao sang in a special rhythm, whispering: "I am the messenger of grief of the Bootes constellation, the dog of Icarius. There is no place for you in the underworld, please return silently."

As he said, he used his other hand to pry open the king's mouth and blew a breath into his mouth.

At that moment, the king's body was like a lit lamp.

His whole body was lit up with a dim yellow light, and it became brighter and brighter.

These lights wandered around in his body, and finally half gathered in the heart and half gathered in the brain.

The "king" suddenly opened his eyes, and a dim yellow light shone in his pupils.

He got up from the ground neatly and followed behind Lu Jiao. He opened his mouth slightly, but could not make any sound.

"... Can't he speak?"

Watching the "Ceremony of Resurrection from the Dead" on the side, Lily finally couldn't help asking.

"Well, no. But this is still Mr. King, not an empty shell. It's just that he can't think normally."

Lu Jiao answered simply: "Talking and singing are the realm of beauty, and reproduction and emotions are the realm of love. Thinking is related to wisdom, and training is related to transcendence-those who have died but have preserved their bodies have been stripped of the fourth realm, those who have died but have preserved their souls have been stripped of the sixth realm, and those who have died but have lost their souls have been stripped of the eighth realm, leaving only dusk.

"From this perspective, the dead who have been resurrected by necromancy...are actually still in the world of the dead. ”

This is the principle of necromancy that a normal necromancer would not explain.

But for Deerhorn, whose main job is a law mage, there is nothing to hide.

Deerhorn looked at the huge door and ordered: "Go open the door."

The resurrected king opened his mouth silently, then rushed over with extraordinary flexibility and climbed up like a monkey.

"It's a pity that there is no bone staff."

Deerhorn sighed: "If there is a bone staff, I can strengthen the king's corpse. There is no need to issue orders like this."

"Aren't you a big shot in Avalon?"

Lily asked lightly: "Isn't it easy to make a bone staff?"

"That's really a bit difficult. The weapons that can be brought into the ceremony must be made by yourself," Deerhorn said casually, "I'm old, and it's not easy to learn carving from scratch.

The speaker is unintentional, but the listener is intentional.

Just this sentence "old age" made Lily's heart move.

Although it is normal for big shots to be older... but for some reason, when she first met Mr. Deer Horn, she felt a sense of familiarity, as if she had seen him before.

At this time, Deer Horn also asked: "Speaking of which, how should I call you?"

"Gray."

Lily replied.

The "Spider Silk Secret Continuation" that she inherited was taught by Gray Tiansi. Now it is more appropriate to use this name.

"I will protect you in secret."

She whispered: "I will always follow you, but don't try to find me... I am the spider in the corner."

Of course, this is a lie.

She was quietly observing Deer Horn, looking for a chance to kill him with one strike.

In fact, she did not understand this mission... but Lily clearly realized one thing.

- Just kill six people in total to win. And Master Aiwass will definitely do it.

However, the first "Deer Horn" to appear in the ceremony is the most uncontrollable variable.

No one knows how many cards he has. Therefore, Lily must follow him closely and find a chance to kill him.

However, apart from that...

"You said you are a big shot."

Lily, hiding in the shadows, couldn't help but ask: "Do you know the ministers in the Round Table Hall?"

She was still a little curious about her biological father, whom she knew almost nothing about.

Hearing this, Lu Jiao smiled confidently: "Of course. No one knows the people in the Round Table Hall better than me."

On the other side.

Gordon, who was aliased as "Thunder", the knight, and the rotten wood-like man in a bad mental state, had already escaped.

They left the storage room without losing any personnel.

"Where are you going next?"

Gordon took over the captain's duties very naturally: "Let me see if we are going the same way - if so, we can help each other. If not, we can only go our separate ways."

"I want to find the Holy Lance."

The knight said without hesitation: "Then use the Holy Lance to smash the giant's cauldron! If there is a chance, I also want to challenge those giants who believe in evil gods!"

"I can accompany you to get the Holy Lance," Gordon nodded carefully, "I can also accompany you to smash the cauldron. But I strongly disagree with you attacking the giant - but if you must do so, I will not stop you.

"I will accompany you and try to protect you. If you are unfortunately killed, I can take your place and take the Holy Lance."

Both of them have very strong hostility towards giants.

Compared with the knight, Gordon's desire for promotion is not that strong.

But the man who stood quietly like a dead wood on the side couldn't help but laugh in a low voice: "Evil God? Hehe..."

His voice was totally inconsistent with his messy and decadent image. He sounded unusually calm, gorgeous and elegant. He didn't look like a madman, but more like an aristocrat.

"Of course the Supreme God is an evil god."

Gordon frowned slightly, but patiently explained to the man: "'The Supreme God' is the name given to Him by those believers who believe in the Bear God. He is a God who is inclined to the path of love and authoritarianism. They yearn for a world of violence, lawlessness, disorder, and the strong can bully the weak at will.

"In the past, the giant kingdom Alctors was a dynasty that worshipped the bear god. As a result, you have also seen... they will eat all races, even their own race. And the Supreme Heaven will even bless this evil race-"

"Mr. Thunder! Have you seen the task of "successfully escaping"? "

The knight added: "Snake Father said that we need to find the key and escape from the Pancord Temple... The place we are in is called the Pancord Temple!"

Gordon affirmed: "This 'giant couple' is definitely not an ordinary couple. They can kill apostles, live in the temple that worships the Supreme Heaven, and have the magic cauldron given by the Supreme Heaven. And it is so huge... This may be the legendary tall giant."

At Gordon's level, you can get access to some historical records about the giant kingdom.

Generally speaking, pure-blooded giants are only six or seven meters tall.

In fact, giants are not born very tall, but the older the giants are, the taller they are. Although giants can run when they are born, three-year-old giants are less than one meter tall, and teenage giants are usually only two meters tall, looking like slightly taller human teenagers.

But unlike humans, the growth period of giants is very long. It can take hundreds of years, and the giants will continue to grow bigger and bigger. However, generally speaking, the maximum height that each giant can reach is different according to their talents.

Because it is said that Xiong Tiansi is very huge, the giants protected by him are proud to grow taller. Usually, the taller the giant, the higher the status. Giants who are tall to a certain extent are called "tall giants" and are usually regarded as "gifts from the highest heaven."

The ministers of the Giant Kingdom are taller than the walls of the royal city. They are tall and thin, nearly 20 meters tall, and their white beards are like waterfalls.

Human weapons can't hurt them easily, and it's not much harder for them to kill humans than for humans to step on insects. These giants can cause earthquakes when they run, so they usually sit and eat continuously. Only during festivals will they stand up and wrestle with each other. And then it will be several days of earthquakes.

Judging from the door in the temple, this giant couple should be at least 20 meters tall. That is, three times the height of a regular giant.

"This 'giant couple' is probably the apostles of Xiong Tiansi."

Gordon looked at the knight and said seriously: "It is normal for the apostles to guard the temple, so they can kill the apostles of the dedication path and seize the holy spear. Just like in the Temple of Acropolis, Hippocrates and Acropolis occasionally appear... The Giant Dynasty worships Xiong Tiansi, builds temples everywhere, and the apostles can appear completely in the temple.

"That's why I don't agree with you attacking the giants. Even if Xiong Tiansi's apostles are not as powerful as the apostles of the Nine Pillars... But Xiong Tiansi is the Tiansi of the authoritarian path after all. You are holding the weapons of the apostles of the dedication path to challenge two apostles of the authoritarian path. I still think this is a reckless move. "

Hearing this, the rotten wood-like man laughed again: "Authoritarian path? Hahaha..."

Gordon finally couldn't help it.

He turned his head seriously and asked earnestly: "Sir, what do you think is funny? Just tell me directly. Please don't tell me in riddles, it will only ruin the mood - I think we are still teammates who escaped together, what can't we say directly?"

"...Are you sure you want to listen?"

A subtle smile appeared on the corner of the man's mouth: "You said it yourself, don't blame me."

Although Gordon and the Knight felt something was wrong, they didn't want to turn back at this point.

"You can call me Wuyun. I am a werewolf hunted by the Son of the Moon. A poor writer... preparing to flee to Avalon. I hope you can give me some convenience at that time... Mr. Thunder."

The dead wood-like man leaned against the huge and rough green stone wall, raised a finger, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly with ill intentions: "This is knowledge you will never get in Avalon. Although the Silver Crown Dragon may not care, his apostles do; his apostles may not care, but the monarchs of the mortal world must care - who made them not kill all the giants back then?

"This is the secret of the founding of Avalon, the history when the path of "authoritarianism" did not exist, and the only event of the replacement of the Nine Pillars Gods that humans have ever witnessed.

"Listen, and then face the truth..."
