Shadow of the Beautiful World

The combat spaceships of the angels fly very fast.

Although the word angel is very, very incompatible with the word spaceship.

It's like a group of pure-blooded Vikings living in the ancient oriental dynasty. Not only did they have an oriental name, but they also learned fairy arts in a decent way.

Two things with different painting styles, don't mix them together so casually.

Of course, the complaints are the complaints. Seeing a group of beautiful angels wearing medieval armor and folding their wings, they are manipulating advanced combat spaceships in a decent manner, which is also quite touching.

A few minutes later, with two silver-gray worm-shaped spaceships circling in the air and landing in the mountain manor on the edge of the steel palace complex, Angela finally returned home.

As the head of the distinguished hunters in the kingdom of angels, Angela is quite respected among these angels.

Even though she was a wingless person, she should have been the lowest and lowest in this caste society, but thousands of years of fighting, countless demons who fell under Angela's sword, created a blood-red status for Angela.

All life worships the strong, and extremely realistic angels also worship heroes.

Serve a powerful wingless person as a general, buy her with status and money, let her fight for the high-level caste on the battlefield, open up territories, and plunder more wealth.

No matter how you look at it, it is a very cost-effective deal.

What did the queen pay?

It's nothing more than a false name, a manor, and a little money.

What a great deal.

Merlin followed the angel guards who wore golden armor and folded their wings, and walked towards the main hall of the manor.

He looked around in a very relaxed, travel-like manner.

Angela's manor is still in the palace group of the Queen of Angels. From here, you can clearly see the palace built against the mountain. It is no longer like other border cities, which are completely made of metal and steel. .

There are many stone buildings here.

Its shape is gorgeous and sacred, much like the heavenly landscape that Merlin had seen in visions.

This is probably the place where these exiled angels first gathered. Angela said that she had seen angels hold grand ceremonies when she was a child.

The ceremony of praying to God was probably carried out in this mountain range.

It is worth mentioning that there are also some flying, whale-like creatures in the palace of the mountains. They are put on the reins, pulling luxurious carriages, and flying around in the air.

In those carriages, there were also some angels who wore robes and looked noble.

The observant Lord Raven also noticed that although these angels have the same shape, their wings are different in color. The wings of the most noble angels are pure white, just like the wings of the Archangel Gabriel.

The wings of these guards were a bit dim, and some were even off-white.

This is probably also an expression of status in a caste society.

But the thing that puzzled Merlin the most was that, according to Gabriel, the number of angels who were exiled to this world at the beginning was about hundreds of thousands, and they were all elite warriors in heaven.

But now, in this world, the number of angels Merlin perceives is huge, definitely exceeding millions.

Moreover, the angels here are all in the form of women. As far as he knows, the angels in heaven do not have the habit of mating and giving birth. The increase in the number of angels can only rely on the reincarnation pool.

So, these exiled guys, did they imitate the reincarnation pool in this world?

It is probably worth discussing where the wingless angels mentioned by Angela and these angels with strange wings come from.

Asking those wingless people in the wasteland will not get an answer to this question. The more than 3,000 wingless angels all died of war when the angels were first exiled and were cursed to the underworld.

After the order of the angel kingdom stabilized, basically very few angels died.

Regarding the current situation of the Angel Kingdom, they knew no more than Merlin.

In short, one mystery after another.

But Merlin felt that he would get the answer soon. In the heavily guarded manor in front of him, he could feel a strong will, similar to the feeling Gabriel gave him.

That should be the Angel Queen Haven here.

Well, there is another piece of good news, the strength of this Queen of Angels has only just surpassed the level of the Heavenly Father in perception.

If you have to use force if you have to, it probably won't be too difficult to deal with.

The door in front of Merlin was pushed open, and he saw the Archangel Haven sitting in the main hall at a glance.

Sure enough, the orthodox Archangel of Heaven.

This can be seen from the wide white wings covered with smooth feathers on her back. Like Gabriel, it is not the exaggerated 6-winged or 12-winged angels in the legend.

It's just ordinary big wings, under the big wings, there is a pair of smaller tail fins.

She wears golden armor in a heavenly style.

The armor was very old, covered with traces of war and conflict, with a flying wing helmet and a long sword on his waist.

But it didn't have Gabriel's sense of holiness surrounded by white holy light.

There is no light on her.

She's an archangel without faith...and finally abandons her faith after being cornered and unable to get a response.

In other words, it was carefully hidden.

When Merlin looked at Haiwen, Haiwen was still looking at Merlin.

She realized that this was a visit from the Lord of Hell, and the sulfurous smell on his body reminded Haven of the time when she and her sisters were in the eternal battle more than 3,000 years ago.

The memories that came to mind made Haiwen's expression less pretty.

Where's Sierra?

Behind Merlin, when the two bosses were silent, Angela spoke first.

Wearing a linen robe, she stared at her queen with her white eyes, with a rather rude attitude, and the truth that Odin and Frigga told her echoed in her mind.

Is she the son of Odin?

Had she been blinded by these angels for the first half of her life?

Is this her home?

But when the words came to her lips, Angela still asked about her lover, she looked at the queen, and she said:

I can't feel Sera's breath, where is she?

The witch was thrown into prison.

Archangel Haven moved her golden, slender nails, and she said calmly:

She was able to enter the upper class society because of your protection. The head of my hunter, Sera is a lowly wingless person and a witch who plays witchcraft. If it is not for your sake, what she did in the past Those things... just for leaving the ranks of monks without permission, she has been punished long ago.

But don't worry.

Haven saw Angela's clenched fist and the golden light shining on her body.

This made the archangel very disgusted.

That is the power that belongs to Odin's bloodline.

She waved her hand and said:

She's not dead yet, she may have been tortured a bit, but that's what she deserves, since you're back, my hunter leader, Sera will be sent back soon, but you'll have to pay a high price for it The ransom for this...fair deal, you should understand this very well.

Snapped

Angela clenched her fists and took a step forward. Amidst the threat of sharp knives pulled out by the maintenance angels around her, she asked loudly:

Second question... Am I Odin's daughter?

Um?

Angela's question made Queen Angel narrow her eyes.

She glanced at Merlin who didn't say a word, and asked with her eyes. The Lord of Hell smiled peacefully. While viewing the artworks displayed in the hall, he said casually:

Let's solve your problems first. The conversation between us can be later. I don't care.

Besides, although this is none of my business, I still think, Haiwen, you should tell her the truth. The trick of letting father and daughter kill each other is not very in line with some rules of your 'hometown'... If you still If you haven't forgotten your identity.

Merlin's words made the other angels in the hall look at each other in dismay.

Those who can be brought here by Haven are naturally the queen's cronies. They are all members of the former angel legion, and all the memories of heaven are tightly sealed in their hearts.

But now, the secret has been revealed.

go out!

Haiwen glanced at the guards with changing expressions around her. She sighed and waved her hand. In the light spots brought by the collision of golden nails, those high-ranking angels silently exited the hall.

After a while, only Haven, Angela and Merlin were left here.

It seems that you have experienced many things during the period of your disappearance.

Hella sat on the chair, she looked at Angela, she said:

Perhaps you have met Odin, the Void Lord himself...

Okay, okay, it's really disappointing that you didn't kill him and use his head to receive the reward, but you can't blame you, after all, the Void King is so powerful, this is an idle man with nothing to do. tricks.

Okay, I'll tell you, Angela.

The archangel played with her nails, she said:

You are the daughter of Odin. I brought you here from the Golden Palace. I wanted to use you as a bargaining chip to ask the Asgardians to send troops to rescue my sisters who were trapped by the hell army.

But things happened a little... by accident.

Odin didn't agree with my request. He thought you were dead, so he punished us, and your vicious mother cursed us all.

So I brought you back to this place where you were exiled. I want you to live with the most humble status. Everyone who sees you will spit on your face...

But there was a little turbulence here. My hunter head still retained some habits of being an angel. She looked at you as a baby, and she moved her weak heart...

The Queen of Angels felt a little regretful and shrugged helplessly. She looked at Angela and said:

That's all there is to the story, the end...

you!

The truth told by the Queen of Angels was exactly the same as Odin and Frigga told her, which completely shattered Angela's last luck.

Angrily, she wanted to rush forward to teach this damn selfish queen a lesson, but Merlin stretched out her hand to stop her.

Here, anger is forbidden!

The anger in Angela's eyes dissipated immediately after the divine words came out.

She bit her lip, glanced at Merlin, lowered her head, took a step back, and strode out of the hall.

She is going to find her lover, and then leave this world full of lies forever.

After Angela left, Haven turned to look at Merlin, she tilted her head and said:

As for this guest, since you are from hell, you must be wondering why the angels in this world are so weird, they don't obey heaven, they don't obey... the Lord's belief.

Let me tell you, maybe we choose to live in this realistic way until now because we want to live, but our lack of faith, the reason to deviate from heaven, is because of that vicious curse!

We are no longer noble.

Haiwen raised her hand and put it in front of her eyes. She said with a sense of loss:

We also have those degenerate thoughts like mortals. She cursed us with desire. If it is not controlled, the once glorious legion of angels will degenerate into a group of monsters.

I can only use another way of thinking to teach my sisters how to live under the curse, we become mercenary, we become selfish and cunning, but it's all about survival, fair trade... just for value things to work hard.”

glory?

Haiwen read this word, a twisted disgust flashed across her pretty face, she said coldly:

Bah! Disgusting thing...

Merlin finished listening to Haiwen's narration.

He can be sure that the Queen of Angels is not telling the truth.

When Frigga released the curse, he had not yet reached the Heavenly Father.

Moreover, in Merlin's research and understanding of magic, there is no curse that can achieve this kind of total depravity.

Perhaps it is indeed the curse that makes these angels' hearts full of desires that should not be there, but they have become what they are now, purely the result of their own hard work.

but...

What does this have to do with Merlin?

He is not interested in delving into the grievances between these angels and Asgard, nor is he interested in making false claims with this cunning archangel.

hum

Merlin raised his finger, and a radiant pure white feather appeared in the palm of his hand. When he saw the light feather, the archangel suddenly stood up from the chair.

Her eyes were filled with astonishment.

She guessed wrong.

She thought that the king of hell came to the kingdom of angels to make some kind of deal with her, but...

hell!

This hell king, this hell creature, actually came here on behalf of heaven?

Do you feel it?

Merlin says:

From your former sister, Archangel Gabriel's Feather, she said, as long as you see this thing, you will trust me, but I don't think you will give me your trust so easily now...

You said it yourself, you are only interested in profit, and you are not ashamed.

That's good, so, follow your rules and make a fair deal, Haven.

Merlin put away the feather in his hand, looked at the archangel with blue eyes, and said:

I want you to follow me obediently to leave this world and return to heaven, whether you like it or not.

And the generous reward I will pay you is...

Your life.
