Endless Debt

Church hid silently behind the huge column, and groups of heartless people strode past. At such a close distance, Church could feel the manic ether filling their bodies, several defenders, and a large number of negative people. Powerful person.

Every lost soul is carrying heavy immortal armor. Judging from the fineness of the metal, these immortal armors were just made recently. In order to disobey the existing productivity of the royal court, they have no spare time to create such a success. batch of weapons.

Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce.

Now, the complicated situation has become extremely clear. The Gray Trade Chamber of Commerce has fully assisted the Disobedient Royal Court, and they have also provided assistance in batches even with this expensive immortal armor.

Olivia served as bait, attracting a large number of lost people to leave. Church lost a guide to follow, but he also got rid of many potential risks.

Qiu Qi hesitated on the spot for a moment. After thinking about it for a while, he followed the direction in which the lost people left and followed them silently.

Olivia walked quickly through the corridors. She was completely unaware that she had been discovered by the Heartless Ones. The creeping shadows wrapped around her and she moved quickly in the darkness.

Although the last time she came to the royal city was a hundred years ago, Olivia still clearly remembers every corridor and corner here.

Olivia continued to move forward along the road in her memory. In the map constructed in her mind, she was getting closer and closer to the Origin Tower, until the huge and empty hall appeared in front of her, with the pillars supporting the dome one by one. Stone pillars are arranged in sequence from both sides, and knights in armor are carved on the pillars. They are like guards, guarding the door at the end of the hall.

"The Court of Pilgrimage..."

Olivia emerged from the shadows, looking melancholy at the dusty and dilapidated hall. A hundred years ago, this was the only way to go to the Origin Tower and meet the Night King. It was the only way for many Night clansmen to pass by. The end of the pilgrimage.

At that time, the place was filled with gold and silver treasures, and the heavily armed Night Clan stood on both sides of the red carpet, sticking to their posts day and night. However, with the dawn war and the passage of a hundred years, all the glory of the past disappeared, leaving only of desolation and loneliness.

Stepping on the faded and broken red carpet, Olivia slowly recalled the events of the past. At that time, her status was so noble, and the pilgrimage court, which was sacred to others, was just a place for her to have fun.

There is no need to care about anyone's goals. He can calmly pass through the guards, step onto the stairs of the Origin Tower, and take a nap next to his grandfather...

"No...the Night Clan should come to an end."

Olivia shook her head vigorously to get rid of those thoughts of greed for power. Over the long period of time, she had witnessed too much sadness with her own eyes, and also experienced firsthand what the Night Clan had brought to the world. Hurt.

This was a mistake made by Olivia and should be solved by herself.

Olivia stepped forward. Just as she arrived at the center of the Pilgrimage Court, a rush of footsteps came from behind her. Olivia decisively released her secret energy and dived into the shadows. The next moment, groups of people The loser knocked open the door, vomiting blood and searching for traces of living people.

"A loser?"

Olivia marveled in her heart. As a pure-blood night tribe, she naturally knew the existence of these taboos.

Logically speaking, they should be executed, but someone put on armor for these monsters, and even if they lost their minds, they would not be able to escape.

A large number of heartless people were immediately scattered throughout the pilgrimage court. They smelled the smell of blood remaining in the air and felt the minuscule ether fluctuations.

Olivia lowered her breathing and stayed motionless. After a moment, a Lost Heart walked past Olivia. It was wearing extremely heavy armor, and its tall body was like a walking vehicle. chariot. According to the original rank and strength characteristics of the heartless ones, they wear different armors.

Suddenly, all the losers stopped. Something was coming, accompanied by the sound of gentle footsteps.

Olivia nervously looked in the direction of the door, only to see a thin figure coming, with ferocious tattoos carved on his bald head, and his eye sockets were sunken deeply, like a pair of dark abyss. The metal's scales shimmered with the light of the alchemical matrix, strengthening its power all the time.

"Ka...Carol?"

Olivia looked at the thin figure in disbelief. This monster was Olivia's old childhood friend.

Carol was personally appointed by Sere and became Olivia's servant. When Olivia was a child, she spent a happy time with Olivia.

Olivia still remembered Carol's oath at that time. She would not only become her most loyal servant, but also become a member of the Guards to protect herself in the days to come.

But as the Dawn War progressed, everything was completely different.

Olivia originally thought that her old friend had died in that grand daytime execution, but she never expected that Carol survived and became a member of the Guards as she swore to do. , until after a hundred years of torture, he turned into a crazy and heartless person.

"how come?"

Olivia marveled, and the violent emotional ups and downs caused her etheric shielding to deviate slightly. At the same moment, all the heartless people looked at Olivia's position.

Carol's dark eyes stared at Olivia's hidden shadow, her mouth opened in a strange arc, and a massive amount of ether gathered in her body.

The glorious one.

Olivia's eyes widened, looking at all this in disbelief, and then the roaring sound waves completely covered Olivia.

At this intense moment, powerful sound waves swept through the atrium like a violent wind. The ground along the way cracked like glass, and stone pillars collapsed under the devastation of the sound waves.

Olivia seemed so weak and powerless in front of this sound wave. She tried her best to avoid it, but was still directly hit by the sound wave. The Glory One's ether swept around her, and the ethers repeled each other, and she was forced out of the shadow. The body appeared in mid-air.

The next moment, she was like a fallen leaf swept up by a whirlpool, being collided back and forth and bruised all over her body. Then the heartless people surrounded her, trying to tear Olivia apart completely. When the deadly blades were within reach, Olivia Livia's figure suddenly shattered into countless squirming shadows.

They fled to one side like a group of snakes and regrouped to form.

As soon as Olivia regained her footing, Carol roared again, and the sound waves spread in a cone shape, completely covering all of Olivia's escape routes.

As an old friend of hers, Olivia knew very well what kind of secret powers Carol possessed. She also knew that over the long years, Carol's secret powers had lagged behind the times.

But under the mighty power of the Glorious One, even a blunt knife is enough to penetrate the body.

The shadow ejected from Olivia's feet. She tried to get into the shadow again, but the strong ether repulsion interfered with Olivia's secret energy. As soon as her figure got halfway through, she was forcibly squeezed out.

The strong impact made Olivia dizzy. After a few seconds, she regained consciousness. At this time, everything around her had been shattered into dust, and her body was rolling in the sound waves, like a bird swept by a strong wind. The rising butterfly cannot control itself.

Finally, she fell to the ground. The once hard and intact ground now became broken and soft. The surrounding air was filled with the smell of dust and gravel. Olivia coughed, and the pain was unbearable.

Before Olivia could get up, a loser approached and swung a giant sword, slashing down on Olivia's head.

After the trembling echo and rolling dust, a broken shadow appeared in the safe area. Olivia covered her shoulder, blood dripping down her arm and gathering in a pool.

Not far away, the Heartless Man struggled to pull out the giant sword from the pit. Only then did Olivia notice that the giant sword and the Heartless Man's arm were completely grown together, with flesh, flesh and tendons. Become one with metal.

The Heartless Man turned around and looked at Olivia with murderous intent. It was also at this moment that Olivia barely recognized its identity from the distorted face.

"Uncle Okun?"

Olivia looked at the other party in disbelief, and then suddenly looked at the other losers.

The ferocious faces full of pain slowly softened, and names that were about to be forgotten by Olivia emerged from her mind one after another.

Olivia suddenly realized that these heartless people did not become heartless people directly due to the torture of blood thirst, but someone was deliberately punishing them. They all served Serre.

Similarly, there is an answer to why another group of Night Clan were lucky enough to survive. They regarded these night tribesmen as blood people, sucking their blood and torturing themselves.

A strong feeling of helplessness surged into Olivia's heart, followed by anger, anger towards the Night King, anger towards Sere, and anger towards herself.

Oaken didn't regain the slightest sense of reason after being called by his name. He shouldered the heavy sword and strode towards Olivia. The same was true for the other heartless ones, who surrounded them like a pack of hunting wolves. .

Fresh blood filled the air from Olivia's body. The blood passed through the deep corridor and around the long stairs. In the dark depths of the Origin Tower, the dark figure trapped in place by shackles raised his head. .

He smelled the strange yet familiar blood, and glimpsed the bloodline that he cursed and hated.

"Sere..."

A distant and eerie voice crooned.

As she was injured and bleeding, Olivia's concealment had completely failed. The Night Clan was extremely sensitive to blood, and they could deduce a lot of information from just a drop of blood.

Similarly, the heartless ones also smelled Olivia's blood. Even if they lost their minds, the instinct originating from the Night Clan made them full of hatred for the blood of Sere's lineage.

A layer of terrifying etheric reactions arose. Olivia looked at this scene in despair. She knew that this was her end. In the end, she still could do nothing and could not make up for any mistakes.

But Olivia will not accept her fate cowardly like Sere. She will resist and bring relief to these heartless people.

The shadows squirmed and became manic, they surrounded Olivia's surroundings, and turned Olivia's body into ether and shadow.

The losers pressed forward step by step, constantly squeezing Olivia's living space. Just as she was preparing to fight to the death, suddenly, a hand stretched out from behind and covered Olivia. Ya's mouth stuffed her roar back.

"Quiet," Church whispered, "I am Church Bolton, affiliated with the Crow's Nest of the Department of Order."

A standard set of identification documents was used to keep Olivia sane. Then, a strange feeling of detachment enveloped Olivia's body, and she clearly realized that she was losing something.

The knowledge of the world and the integrity of her memory... She seems to be trapped in a swamp that is constantly annihilating information. When Olivia is completely digested, the concept of Olivia will completely disappear from the world.

Fortunately, things did not reach such a desperate level. The feeling of separation stopped after lasting for half a minute. At the same time, Olivia found that the heartless people who surrounded her seemed to be unable to see her. , looking around blankly, searching for the target.

"Don't be nervous, this is my secret power that will separate your existence from the real world," Church explained, "but the price is that in the process of separation, you will lose some memories and cognition. …But compared to death, this price is nothing, right?”

Perhaps because she was deeply immersed in Church's secret power, Olivia felt that her thinking was slowing down. She spent more than ten seconds accepting the current situation, and then asked, "Order Bureau? Why are you here."

"Obviously, the Bureau of Order is launching an operation against the Land of Eternal Night."

As he spoke, Church held Olivia's shoulders and led her towards the outside of the Pilgrimage Court, "Sneaking into the narrow space with others is a new trait I gained after being promoted to the Power Bearer, but this is still It’s my first time doing this and I’m very unskilled.”

As an absolute lone wolf, Church would rarely risk his own exposure to rescue others, but there was nothing he could do about it. Once Olivia died here, who knew what Sere would do? What, once Sere loses control, the entire operation will become dangerous.

It was after such a psychological struggle that Church finally chose to take action to protect Olivia.

"We have to leave here as soon as possible, and you also have to get out of the state of walking in the narrow space as soon as possible," Church said nervously, "As time goes by, you will forget more and more things, and...I and I don't How long can I maintain this state?"

As soon as Church finished speaking, like a malfunctioning image, blue or purple ghosts appeared on both him and Olivia. Even Olivia could clearly detect the peeling that covered their bodies. Sense, is rapidly fading, and they will be sent back to reality.

Olivia said, "You can give up on me."

"Abandon you? Sere will go crazy," Church added, "He is now in the Land of Eternal Night, coming to save you."

Hearing this, Olivia was stunned. She couldn't imagine that Sere actually left the Undead Club, let alone that he came to save her.

At the same moment, a high-pitched ether reaction came from outside the Pilgrimage Courtyard, a howling wind blew, and then several figures wrapped in the strong wind broke through the door.

"I smell it!"

Sere stood behind Boluogo and shouted, "Olivia's blood is nearby!"

"I know, I know, don't push it."

Boluogo looked at the heartless people in the court with a solemn expression. After noticing the suffocating ether intensity on their bodies, he silently took out the saw ax and untied the straps on it.
