mechanical court

"..."

After a brief silence, the guardian laughed in a low voice, paused, but his voice was ridiculed:

"No! That's not the case at all. In fact, your appearance made my eyes shine. People who can practice the magic of the underworld and fake death are not incompetent people. Even if such a guy can't master the kingdom of the dead, he can Qualifications to compete for the throne. The problem is...the fact that you are studying two holy scriptures at the same time is beyond your capacity, which determines your limit...I am afraid that you will never be on the throne."

"Throne? I hope that stubborn head of yours will listen to others a little bit!"

This time it was Ivan who sneered. He shook his head exaggeratedly, pointed to his forehead, and said in a mocking tone:

"The following words are not false at all, but they are contrary to your perception of the world. You can verify it through your own methods afterwards, but please don't interrupt my speech."

"tell me the story."

The guardian's voice was low and indifferent, and he looked at him with chilling eyes.

"Hybern has been targeted by an enemy far stronger than the gods. Unfortunately, neither the holy scriptures of the underworld nor the scriptures of the sun can save this world."

Ivan's expression was calm, he lowered his height and looked at the opponent squarely, and fully revealed the current situation of Hei Bolun:

"Their weapons are enough to destroy the stars, their spaceships can cross the interstellar, and their army kills us every step of the way! And it was under such circumstances that I practiced the two holy scriptures by accident...these It's not because of greed, let alone being overconfident, but because of compulsion, in order to pursue a glimmer of hope... Can your moldy head understand!?"

"..."

After hearing these words, the guardian's cold eyes flickered frequently, and the expression on his sharp face gradually became serious.

After a long silence, it suddenly sighed:

"I don't want to believe your ridiculous remarks, but the voice of the spirit tells me that you are not lying."

"It seems that your brain is not completely broken."

Ivan remained vigilant, looking at the bottomless vortex slowly rotating on the floor, and reminded loudly:

"Since we have initially reached a consensus, why can't we stop attacking first and sit down and talk slowly? I think we will have more common language, such as how to deal with the same enemies - those invaders."

The moment he said these words, there was a very light, very light sound in the wind, which was leisurely and low-it seemed that a door in the distant place opened quietly.

As if they were separated by thousands of miles and entered the temple through many obstacles, all the monsters in the sky were stunned, as if shocked by an unknown force, they stopped their movements in unison, turned their heads to look at the bronze mural, and looked at each other with fear in their eyes.

There is something... There is something that frightens these monsters. The fluctuations permeate the space.

"Hades!"

"Escape! Escape!"

"The power of the temple!"

In the panic-stricken wailing, the monsters all over the sky suddenly disappeared like a hurricane, and the thick fog gradually faded away.As if suddenly turning the clouds to see the sun, the thin and clear sunlight in the morning sprinkled down from the top of the head, covering this restored space.

The mutation disappeared, and the thin and sparse light shone on the bronze-colored face of the guardian, refracting a faint light. The hideous and terrifying appearance did not change at all, but revealed a somewhat sacred and solemn temperament.

"Children of the Sun God, don't think that the ordeal you have encountered is the end. All this is just a prelude to the invasion of darkness, and the real disaster has not yet begun." It warned.

"The real disaster, what is that?"

Ivan's head suddenly became dizzy, and he couldn't help but tighten his brows. The current situation is bad enough. If there is another doomsday catastrophe in the religious prophecy, wouldn't Menis be doomed! ?

"Unfortunately, I don't know...but the fragments in my memory tell me...it's not far away from us."

The guardian didn't answer his question. A vertical slit was split in the middle of his face, revealing a brilliant light from the inside out, like a slowly opening door:

"Your strength is too weak, I will not regard you as the master, the throne of the kingdom of the dead will remain vacant as always. But I recognize your will, before you grow strong enough, we belong to the alliance. If you If you want to become the master of the temple, then try to trust me and walk through this door."

"That's it for now."

Ivan looked at the 'door' that was opening, and after weighing the pros and cons, he felt that he couldn't be cowardly at this time, so he went straight to the door and passed through the blooming golden light.

Countless stars are shining brightly, and the light is rushing towards the face like a tide.

The moment he entered the door, Ivan mistakenly thought that he had crossed the sky in one step and came to the space outside the atmosphere.When you look closely, the semicircular space reflects the brilliance of the starry sky, and the roof and surrounding walls are integrated together, mysteriously hidden in a picture of the starry sky.

"..."

Ivan touched the wall, and with his touch, water-like light patterns flickered on the wall, and circles of light rippled out, as if the stars in the water were washed away.

He raised his head, and on the dome where the outline of the object could not be seen, faint light particles were dotted all over, emitting beams of light from time to time, guiding the rotation of the stars on the wall.There are dense silver light spots floating in the air, flashing and flashing the brilliance of life, lightly passing through his body.

"What on earth is this?" Ivan couldn't help asking.

"This is the core of the temple, the gap between the world and the underworld, the gap between illusion and reality. It used to belong to a small part of the kingdom of the dead, and it is also the blissful land of pure dead souls. All lives will be deprived of their bodies here, leaving only A pure bit of soul fire, only those with the power of the nether world can travel freely." The guardian's voice suddenly approached his ears, and said softly.

"Pure Land of Ultimate Bliss!? Isn't that a place for the dead? Why did you send me here!?"

Ivan looked at the silver dots passing through him one by one, and after knowing that they were human souls, his scalp suddenly tingled.

"Don't be surprised, this is not a special treatment. Every candidate for the throne must stay here for seven days to adapt to the atmosphere of the underworld."

"So that's what happened."

His hanging heart finally fell to the ground, and after feeling that there was really nothing unusual about his body, his emotions quickly returned to calm.

Chapter 36 Goodbye in the Hall of Mirrors

The wind in early summer carries a lot of water vapor and blows from the Mediterranean Sea in the north, forming abundant rainfall and diluting the heat of midsummer.In the smoky breeze, the city of Akhtatun is immersed in a thick greenery.But the lush green looks dark like dark clouds in the night—clumps piled on top of each other, drowning the garden statues and high-rise villas in the royal city, and filling the signs of prosperity into black.

The troops stationed on the main roads and the searchlights in the high places of the city are dense like a forest, all of which reveal the aura of the undercurrent.It seems that there are countless hidden eyes spying on the royal city in the dark. Even the night as dark as ink cannot suppress the impetuous hearts.

……

On the observation deck at the highest point of the palace, Xia Li looked at the gradually clear city outline in the distance in the dawn light, with a dazed look on her face.

After returning from the sea, she was sent to the capital by Ivan, and settled down in a hotel beside Mirror Lake.As a result, as soon as he left, Elulomei took her back into the palace and stayed there for seven days.

During these seven days, the priest girl was not physically restrained, nor was she subjected to any form of abuse, but was forced to see her nominal sister every day.

Due to the power of the netherworld, and because of Yiwen, an important guardian, Xia Li's identity was quickly recognized by the royal court, and her name was included in the royal family list.And those who were blessed by misfortune were at the top of the clan, no longer distant relatives, but the group of senior members who could receive annuities.

It is indeed a good thing worth remembering to become the aloof royal family of Menes, and no longer have to hide and run around.But for the priest girl, the fact that she has to visit Elleme every day is enough to dilute all the joy she has gained.

You know, prior to this, Xia Li was completely brainwashed by Ozymandis instilling negative information about Elleme for many years.For her, the other party is a super villain who has to sleep with 99 men a day and bathe in virgin blood, and is also a nightmare in her heart and a lifelong enemy.

Now the enemy of my life suddenly appeared in front of me in the face of my sister, which caused great pressure on the priest girl, but due to the other party's "pretentious power", she dared not show hostility.The huge psychological burden caused her to be in a long-term state of confusion during this period of time, and she always felt that she was not satisfied with food and life without love.

"Your Highness the Queen."

Just as Xia Li was aimlessly letting herself go, the sound of smooth footsteps behind her gradually approached, and then a clear and capable call came, interrupting her thoughts.

"what's up?"
