Invade the white dove

Gray Crow died at dawn, in his own bed.

Yesterday, when the soldiers found Gray Crow in the chaotic battle, half of the small sailboat he was on had been burned, but miraculously, there seemed to be an invisible barrier around him, blocking him from the raging flames.

But the gray crow was still unconscious, and the black crow on his shoulder was also missing.

Kyle ordered someone to carry Gray Crow to the tent for one person, tied his hands and feet tightly with ropes, ordered the courtiers to keep a close watch on Gray Crow, and fed him a bowl of dark green medicine every six hours Juice keeps him in a deep sleep.

Therefore, when Kyle was woken up by his subordinates and saw Gray Crow's stiff body, he directly pierced the courtier's chest with a sword.

The blood spattered on Gray Crow's gray face, making him look more like a living person.

Julius looked at the courtier's limp and slumped body.

Another innocent soul.

Last night, with the help of Sotiria, he went out of his body, and when he found the tent where Gray Crow was, he happened to see the courtier holding the bowl of concoction and wanted to feed it into Gray Crow's mouth.He immediately knocked out the courtier, splashed the concoction on the ground, and met Gray Crow's clear eyes.

After the spell was lifted, Prince Nice returned to his original appearance, an adult in his late thirties, just like Julius remembered, with a resolute chin and sad eyes.

Under the dim yellow candlelight, Prince Nice's eyes were like ice covered with a layer of gray mist, with an inconspicuous aqua blue coming out from inside.

"You are here to kill me." Gray Crow's voice was as dry as the dry land, and the tone did not fluctuate at all.

Yulis untied the rope from Gray Crow's hand: "I'm here to give you the right to choose."

He put one of the short blades into Gray Crow's hand.

Gray Crow sat up, clenched the hilt of the sword with five fingers, and stared at Julis with ice blue eyes: "You are the lurker sent by the envoy to Stanley. Red hair..."

"Red hair, cursed color." Julis nodded, with a smile, "I am Julius Kleiss of Odong, the only survivor of the White Pigeon family, my father protected me, From my birth until now."

Gray Crow was a little surprised: "Ulis? I see it every year at White Pigeon Castle..."

"Ivan." Julius whispered, squeezed the three fingers of his right hand, and touched lightly between his eyebrows, "May his soul be immortal. He is my substitute.

Gray Crow grinned, turned the hilt of the knife, and drew the tip of the sword on his neck: "You are a lurker, and I used to be a lurker too. After my identity was revealed, I became Kyle's most powerful assistant. I I still remember that before Kyle's coming-of-age ceremony, I found out the last lurker of the Holy Court."

Only then did Julius understand why the "connector" mentioned by the envoy Thoth had never appeared.

"I have destroyed many plans of the Holy Court. Could it be that there is no task of 'killing Gray Crow' in your latent plan?" Gray Crow asked mockingly.

"Designing to kill Kyle's adjutant of the guards is the only way to succeed in taking the position." This was indeed part of the original plan, but the envoy of Thoth clearly knew that the adjutant of the guards was a lurker of the Holy Court.

Perhaps there is some misunderstanding in this.

"Aushen won't blame you," Julis said.

However, his sincere comfort was exchanged for Gray Crow's hoarse ridicule again: "Let me tell you a story. Before I die."

Julis sat opposite Gray Crow, looking at each other quietly.

"Most of the believers of the old gods hide on the edge of the world, where ordinary humans cannot break in because of the magic seal. But the royal family of Nice can easily shuttle between the two worlds-our ancestors once fell in love with elves, and the blood of the royal family of Nice There are faint traces of magic flowing."

Julius looked into Gray Crow's eyes.

"That's right." Gray Crow nodded, "Blue and green pupils are symbols of magic power. It is said that the eyes of elves are beautiful, containing the souls of the sea and forest, which are the blessings given to them by the Lord of the Old Gods."

Blue, Julius thought of Sotiria's crystal clear eyes.It seems that only the identity of "elf" can match Sotiria's elegance.

No wonder Sotiria kept his true identity secret. Could it be that Mr. Knight was worried that he would stay away from him because they were not of the same race?

"The edge of the world, the place where those magical creatures live, we used to call it the magic forest. There used to be no clear border between the black marsh land and the magic forest. Humans and those human-like magic creatures could even intermarry. But in hundreds of years Before, everything changed.

"Suddenly a high wall was erected in the forest. At the same time, my ancestors also noticed that the magic power of the magic forest was getting thinner and thinner. It seemed that the Lord of the Old Gods could no longer protect these creatures. The people of the Boman family relied on their meager elf blood After breaking through the sealed wall, I found that all the magical creatures fell into a deep sleep...

"I can't describe to you the shock we felt when we saw that scene. The magic forest has become a natural cemetery for magical creatures. Everyone and every creature seems to be dead...

"My Nasha, the priestess of Cupid, is also one of them."

"Lord?" Julius asked.

"One of the designated successors of Apophis, the lord of all gods.... I forgot, you can't know the beliefs of the old world. After all, the Holy Court ordered the destruction of these foolish 'legendary stories' more than ten years ago."

"Apophis—the power of despair and destruction, he is the highest belief in the old world." Gray Crow explained, "It was also the belief of most people in the Black Marsh Continent. Humans worship him because Apophis can help them destroy enemy."

"But when they finally fulfilled their wish, but they didn't want to offer the promised tribute to the God of Destruction, and happened to find that another belief could gain peace of mind by offering a small amount of wealth and praying every day, they didn't hesitate. abandoned Apophis. Perhaps the decline of the old world was caused by the Aushenism."

Julis looked displeased: "You are a believer in the God of God, how can you slander your belief like this?"

"White dove under the wings of your father, you haven't seen the essence of faith." Gray Crow laughed hoarsely, "I really don't know how the cunning King Fino raised you into such a naive appearance. Knowing the Eight Great Kingdoms, the one who is best at consolidating kingship with faith, King Fino of Non-Odong..."

Before Gray Crow finished speaking, Julis had already put the Rusty Sword around Gray Crow's neck: "Pay attention to your words, Prince of Nice, I don't care about one more life on my head."

Gray Crow pinched the blade with his fingers, shrugged nonchalantly: "Continue to tell my story."

"The first time I walked into the enchanted forest with my father was to hunt the Gryphon. But we got lost in the forest."

His eyes were empty, and even his voice became much softer, "In the depths of the forest, there are endless crystal coffins lined up neatly, and there are people sleeping in each coffin. But as if I was summoned, I went straight In front of her... Our destiny has already been connected together, otherwise why can my arrival wake her up from her deep sleep?"

Gray Crow was completely immersed in the memory, but he did not continue to tell the love story between him and Nasha.

"Julis Kles, it's not true that the kiss of true love in fairy tales can break all magic. Do you know why?"

Julius looked at him silently.

"The blood of true love." Gray Crow chuckled, "It is the most amazing and powerful magic in the world. The power that erupts when you lose your true love is the sharp blade that cuts all magic."

Amidst the endless sound of gunfire, Gray Crow looked at the heavy curtain of the big tent: "My lurking is in exchange for the prosperity of Nice's business. We originally wanted to make the city of Yana the pearl of the Black Marsh Continent through this transaction, but Unexpectedly... I still underestimated the means of the Holy Court, and Yana City will eventually become a victim of power just like Odong."

Julius frowned even tighter, as Clary seemed to be trying to provoke his trust in the Holy Court.

"Your few words can't shatter the faith I rely on to survive. Prince Clary, don't play charades with me."

Gray Crow shook his head, not intending to continue this topic.

"She once told me that death is not the end of life, but the journey of death is dark, and I can't let her be afraid." Gray Crow raised his hand, and the dagger slashed across his throat, leaving an untraceable scratch.

Beads of blood dripped from his neck.

He looked at Julis: "The attraction of two souls has nothing to do with race or belief."

These were the last words Gray Crow left.

"The wound was sharp, and he was killed with a single knife. My lord, your courtiers are not so sharp. There are spies in this camp."

The demon Tatos put his finger on Gray Crow's neck and rubbed the dried blood, "He died probably at two o'clock in the morning, who was on duty at that time?"

No one is more familiar with the state of the corpse than the demon, so after Tatos judged the time of Gray Crow's death, Kyle immediately ordered the commander to call over the soldiers who were on duty from one to three last night.

There are two people on duty for every 140-man regiment, and those poor people were tied up and taken to the coast. Kyle waved his hand casually, and [-] heads fell to the ground in unison.

The beach at Laman Pier instantly turned copper red.

"Nice cost me 140 soldiers."

Kyle looked gloomyly at the Dome Castle hidden in the mist on the other side.

Tatos paused for a moment above each headless corpse, clouds of indistinct, gray-black mist drifting from the severed necks, and he sucked them into his mouth.He repeated this countless times until he absorbed the soul of the last dead soldier, and then wiped his mouth with his sleeve in satisfaction.

Julis immediately remembered Sotilia's assertion that "the devil eats with his hands".

"Don't be angry, my lord, you will see a wonderful performance soon." Tatos wrapped his right hand around his chest three times and saluted in a standard manner.

"Hmph." The king snorted impatiently.

Tatos kissed the back of Kyle's hand loudly, and then raised his chin and hands as if seeking the audience's voice.

A mist as thick as squid ink drifted out from the demon's hands, surging uneasily in the air.

"Go, my children, and eat to your heart's content in the city of Ana!" Tatos grinned from the corner of his mouth to his ears, and a harsh laugh came out of his throat.

However, what was sharper than his voice was the snot-like translucent jelly.After the devil released it, the jelly-like substance quickly grew in size, and it flew over the city of Yana on the opposite bank in the blink of an eye.

Darkness enveloped the entire city in an instant, but the people of Nice were no different.Yulis looked at Sotiria with doubts, but saw Sotiria frowned and shook his head.

"Sabol, if you want to create such a powerful illusion like mine, you still need to work harder with your lover."

Tatos lifted his chin contentedly, and looked at the wriggling mass in the distance that covered the entire city in his "body".

At the same time, as if in coordination, the booming cannons also started to explode again.

"Illusion?" Julius asked.

"To be precise, it is to increase the illusion of human beings' fear of death." A smile appeared on Kyle's face. He raised his hand and gently pinched the devil's pointed ear as a reward, "Utur , do you know what the people who are besieged in the city are most afraid of?"

Ulis thinks of Othon's last days.

"hunger."

"Hunger." Two voices sounded at the same time, Kyle looked at Julis in surprise but satisfaction, "Utur, you are very smart."
