The night gradually fell, and the hook-like crescent moon appeared in the sky.
Yerodisha, the main hall of the Royal Palace.
“According to Fagerius’ previous report, Arthur should have arrived by now.” Lex the Great looked at Ulse, the captain of the imperial guards team in front of him, “Why haven’t I seen him yet?”
“General Fagerius went to the Dragon Knight Legion,” Ulse replied, “His Highness Arthur has indeed entered the palace. But… he went to the Shion Palace.”
“Shion Palace?” Lex the Great frowned with a weird expression.
Not to ntion Lex the Great, even Ulse himself thought it was unbelievable – According to Fagerius’ previous intel, Prince ‘Arthur’ ordered Samuel to kill the capital’s highest commander Trinis stationed in the Golden Estate today. Although Trinis was killed by Elder Stanwell of the Dragon Valley, and Samuel and Trinis had a fair duel, the real ‘line’ of the whole incident was clear: Prince Arthur took the opportunity to send so kind of ssage to the capital.
The nature of this incident was extraordinary. Now Prince ‘Arthur’ followed Fagerius into the capital alone, probably to explain the matter to Lex the Great.
However, the Royal Highness Third Prince did not co to et Lex the Great directly, but he put His Majesty aside and openly went to the Shion Palace to et his ‘old lover’!
This ‘old lover’ had a title, and that was the official wife of the Royal Highness Third Prince’s uncle!
“Your Majesty.” Ulse asked tentatively, “After the Royal Highness Third Prince entered the Shion Palace, it seed that he activated so kind of shielding item. Outsiders could not perceive what is happening inside. Would you like to take soone to the Shion Palace…”
“No!” Lex the Great shook his head imdiately. “Don’t go near the Shion Palace. I’d like to see what he can do.”
“Yes.” Ulse was confused. But without asking more, he imdiately bowed and stepped back.
In the Shion Palace, the soft moonlight dragged the 2 shadows in the flower garden long.
Veronica brushed her blond hair and filled his cup, “This is my tea made with your way, how does it taste?”
“It tastes good.” Chen Rui tasted it and said with a smile, “But to be honest, there is a still gap compared to Yini. Teacher has to work harder.”
“Yini is not only beautiful and smart, but also skillful. How can the teacher compare with her?” Veronica shook her head, showing a sad expression, “It’s a pity, Zola…”
“Zola is not dead, but she was seriously injured and went to a place to recuperate.” Chen Rui said mysteriously, “This is a secret. Please keep it confidential, teacher.”
“That’s good.” Veronica breathed a sigh of relief, “Don’t worry, I’m not a talkative person…”
“But the danger I encountered this ti was real. I almost lost my life.” Chen Rui shrugged. “Won’t teacher comfort ?”
Veronica stared at him and suddenly sighed, “I don’t know how to comfort you. Perhaps the one who should comfort you the most is Princess Landbis. I rember when she was in college, she was very a innocent and lovely girl. Why did you hurt her like this?”
“It’s not that I want to hurt her. It’s… her own request” Chen Rui pointed to his heart, “I just happened to be at the right ti to take this opportunity to tell everyone what ‘Little Arthur’ always wanted to say at the wedding.”
“You an Landbis herself…” Veronica was taken aback. She intentionally ignored what he said later.
“People change.” Chen Rui t her gaze. “Just like you and .”
Veronica’s blue eyes were clouded with a faint smoke, “Yeah, we’ve all changed.”
“Circumstances… especially ti can change people. But, no matter how circumstances change, so things shouldn’t be changed. What do you think, teacher?”
“I don’t know…” Veronica looked away slightly. “I only know that once so things have changed, it is impossible to go back.”
“First, we should determine whether it has actually changed.”
Chen Rui finished his cup of tea, but Veronica didn’t pour it for him. She put down the teapot, “Why did you co to see so late today?”
“I really wanted to see the teacher suddenly, so I ca. Later, I will stop by to et that Royal Majesty.”
“‘Stop by’ to et Royal Majesty?” Veronica lightly covered her veil and smiled, “It turns out you want to et Royal Majesty, so you ‘stop by’ to see . It’s getting late. Go to the hall quickly. Don’t let His Majesty wait too long.”
“Teacher, you are wrong, I ca to see you on purpose. As for Your Majesty, it’s really just ‘stopping by’.” Chen Rui’s tone was very sincere. “Besides, after this ti, I don’t know if I can see you again, teacher.”
Veronica was slightly shocked, “Why would you say that?”
“The emperor beca more and more wary of , and he kept using various ans to restrict . This ti I couldn’t bear it anymore and got rid of a chess piece that he placed in the Golden Estate, which also gave him a reason to play on the topic. If I have bad luck… I may never see teacher again.”
“How could he do this?” Veronica trembled, “In any case, you 2 are father and son after all, and you were his most beloved son…”
“So what if it’s the most beloved son? For the throne and the power, siblings, father and son fight brutally against each other; there are countless examples in history. It’s a pity…” Chen Rui looked a little sad, not for ‘Chen Rui’ but for ‘Arthur’.
“It’s a pity that His Majesty doesn’t know what Little Arthur want.” Veronica sighed. “Although you have changed a lot, I can see that you don’t care about what His Majesty is obsessed with.”
Chen Rui raised his brows slightly, “Teacher, do you know what I want?”
“Maybe it’s just this cup of tea, a quiet yard, soone who can put down all masks and burdens to talk.” Veronica’s blue eyes showed a touch of tenderness, “Just like Little Arthur back then…”
“It seems that I really have a lot of things that haven’t changed.” Chen Rui said implicitly, “‘Little Arthur’ or ‘Arthur’ have always had sothing in common. So coincidences, may be more than chance. Anyway, I’m very happy to have such a cup of tea, a quiet yard, and a…”
“Okay, Little Arthur. ” Veronica interrupted, “Open up your heart and have a good talk with His Majesty. He’s the dad who favored you the most after all. As long as he understands your aspirations, he won’t make things difficult for you.”
“No, it’s not ti yet.” Chen Rui gave Veronica a deep look, “Since the teacher let open my heart, why did you lock the door of your heart tightly again?”
“You really should go!” Veronica avoided the question as if she had made up her mind, “This is the last ti we will et. I will not see you again, and you will not co to again. After all, we are 2 people from different worlds.”
At this ti, in another place… or another world.
Mias Empire’s imperial tomb; underworld.
This was an altar. Although only 3 stories high, it had a majestic montum. However, it gave people the feeling of being creepy and terrifying, because it was surrounded by tall towers built by corpses as well as corpse roads, covering the entire vast underground world. No one knew how many lives had been sacrificed to complete this building complex that could be called a ‘miracle’ and a ‘hell on earth’.
On the altar, there were 2 mysterious n in crimson cloaks and masks, Kurci and Rotts. The 2 nas were definitely pseudonyms, but the attire was a true identity – The archbishop of the Black Death Followers.
In addition to the 2 major archbishops, there were also chief bishops and chief leaders in several areas, as well as the most powerful combat representative of the church, Destruction ssenger.
The highest grade of Destruction ssenger was Chief Destruction ssenger, and there were only 2. Their strength was at the Demi-God level, while there were 6 ordinary Destruction ssenger. Even the lowest was at the early stage of the Kingdom level, which included the so-called strongest Destruction ssenger, Shura.
This was the once-in-100-year main sacrifice. Except for the pope, who was only known by his na, almost all the elites of the mysterious cult were gathered here.
Compared with the collapsed ‘fear’ main altar of the Golden Bright Underground Palace, this ‘hate’ main altar was already quite complete. Judging from the outer appearance, the history should be quite old.
Those who participated in the main sacrifice were the core of the Black Death Followers. When entering, these people also had to pass through layers of inspections and the most reliable faith verification. Those who did not have the real destruction faith could not pass at all.
Due to the lessons of the destruction of the Golden Bright Underground Palace’s ‘fear’ main altar, the originally stronger ‘hate’ main altar once again strengthened its defenses. The outer periphery gathered countless resentful souls’ powerful thoughts. With these most elite Destruction ssengers, coupled with the strength of the bone tower forest and the main altar itself that could accept the ‘hate’ faith everywhere, it was quite difficult for even the Pseudo-God powerhouse to break through the defense.
However, a strong castle was always breached from the inside. The so-called faith test was not foolproof. Shura who had a ‘destruction’ body could easily pass the ‘destruction faith’ test by using his instinctive will. His extrely pure destructive breath was also regarded as one of the most likely candidates to get the lord’s favor in this ‘lord’s descent’ sacrifice.
The sacrifice began. The essence of countless blood and life refining was poured into the altar. After a series of complicated rituals were completed, all the bone towers shone with a strong destructive breath, and countless blood-colored mist lingered on the towers. The special source power mixed with faith surged toward the main altar in the center.
About half an hour later, the blood mist around the bone tower group gradually thinned, and the entire dark red main altar turned bright red. The space in a concave sacrifice pit in the center began to distort, and a vortex-like entrance appeared, shining bloody-red light.
Under the action of this blood-red light, the gathered essence condensed into a blood-red ball, revealing a faint black ray.
Shura, who was guarding the altar, saw the blood bead, and a shocked expression flashed in his eyes as a familiar na surged to his mind.
“The Bloodfall Orb!” Kurci showed a surprised expression and exchanged glances with Rotts. It seed that the power of the lord’s descent this ti was far greater than before. The breath infection before the arrival could only be obtained by sacrifices of countless lives. It was like a powerful treasure equivalent to an artifact.
The blood mist around the bone towers beca more and more bleak. As the power of the essence was concentrated on the main altar, the power of the bone towers began to drop significantly.
The main altar trembled, and the blood-red vortex in the center turned into a light beam, rising to the top of the underground world. The blood-colored light radiated out with a powerful destructive breath.
The nearby Black Death Followers clearly felt the might of the ‘god’, and they all showed their fanatical gazes.
The Dragon Bright Empire’s Shion Palace.
Veronica shook as she seed to sense sothing.
“Teacher, what’s wrong?” Chen Rui asked with concern.
“I’m fine.” Veronica’s voice contained a hint of anxiety, “Go away, leave this place far away, and leave the Dragon Bright Empire!”
“Okay! Veronica.” Chen Rui didn’t call him ‘teacher’ this ti and stood up, “Let take you along. Let’s leave here together, go to a new place and start life again. No matter what status you want, sister, teacher or other… If you are tired of my company, you can also choose absolute freedom. This is the last and biggest wish of ‘Little Arthur’. “
Looking at those sincere eyes, Veronica’s hands began to tremble slightly as if she was trying to suppress sothing.
TL: Will she reject ‘Arthur’ and teleport him again?
