The Scarlet Sky of Romance Legend

<His Majesty is mad. >

<Everyone says so. >

"This is the new cathedral? The murals are very nice...especially the last two."

The voices of admiration suddenly sounded, and Victor and De Lier's brushes stopped suddenly. They turned their heads and said in unison. The mixed voices of the two echoed in the empty cathedral:

"Who?"

"Don't worry, I don't mean anything malicious, I just came to see this famous cathedral." The voice replied with a smile. It is barely discernible that the person has long fiery red hair, the hair on the top of the head is curled up unruly, and he is wearing a luxurious black robe. The golden silk thread outlines a gorgeous scene on the robe, just like the bright scene in the scene of the dawn of dawn. brilliant.

The man took a few steps forward, and Victor could see clearly that the costumes on the other party were very similar to those of the priests in the holy court, but they were more noble and majestic, which better set off the kind of clothes on the man. Inexplicable, special temperament that makes people want to surrender.Victor has never met the Pope of the Holy Court, but now that he thinks about it, the Pope's majesty is probably nothing more than that, right?

"Hey, hey! Who are you! I don't know if His Majesty has ordered that no one can enter here without special permission before the completion of the project! Get out quickly!" Compared with Victor's sudden silence, he was naturally impatient De Lier immediately started yelling impatiently. Fortunately, he still had a sense of propriety. He didn't put the paint box in his hand on the opponent's face because of the momentary displeasure. After all, this is a special paint for murals. Special treatment has been carried out to ensure that it can be preserved for a long time. If it is splashed out, the person who is splashed is basically the rhythm of death without a place to bury.

"De Lier! Pay attention to etiquette!" Victor softly scolded his reckless younger brother. De Lier is good everywhere, but this character is really...too easy to offend people.What if the other party is a high-ranking official?Their brothers are just ordinary painters, they have no rights in their hands, so what if they are famous?If you don't pay more attention to your words and deeds, you will still be killed easily!

"Don't worry, except for you, no one knows that I've come in here, so I won't cause you any trouble." The other party didn't seem to care about Delier's impolite behavior at all, and his tone was quite relaxed.

This person doesn't seem to be difficult to get along with... Victor's heart moved slightly. He was relieved when he heard the other party's words. He didn't have to try to make up for the mistakes made by his stupid brother, because the other party completely He didn't seem to care at all... Delier was reprimanded by his brother, turned his head angrily and continued to paint, and automatically blocked the communication between the two of them afterwards.

"Because of some reasons, there is no way to salute temporarily, please forgive me. As you can see, "Holy Kingdom" and "Calamity Purgatory" are still in the unfinished stage, we still have to continue to work, please do not disturb. Of course, As long as you don't disturb our work, you can browse freely." Victor cleared his throat, stood on a high ladder and said a few very formulaic words, he tried hard to bend the corner of his mouth upwards to show an apologetic smile , It's a pity that the smile looks like a horrible grin no matter how you look at it, it can be seen that the face painted with paint is too different from the real face. "By the way, may I ask, what is your name?"

"Chu? Chaos, you can just call me Chaos." The man who called himself Chaos smiled gently, his amethyst-like eyes reflected a soul-stirring brilliance.

[Author's Note: Chaos, the word means "chaos" in English, is the origin of the original will.The glory and the demon king that will appear in the ancient chapter or the ancient chapter in the future, the name mode will adopt the predecessor name/advent real name? Birth source (English transliteration) such a format, and occasionally there are a few differences that are special settings, which will be discussed in detail in the following chapters 】

Victor nodded, ignoring this slightly weird surname, turned his head and returned to the huge project of drawing the screen wall, working hard like rain, countless pieces of pure white feathers flowed out from his pen and turned into the wings of the gods, grand and brilliant The golden color became the background of the Kingdom of God, and a sea of ​​flowers bloomed in it, dazzling and beautiful.

Looking at the two brothers who were addicted to their respective worlds at first, the corners of their mouths couldn't help showing an appreciative smile.

Skip the two unfinished murals for the time being, and go straight to the statue of the founding twin gods in the deepest part of the Mandorain Cathedral.The slaves and servants haven’t cleaned up this place yet, because the screen wall drawn by Victor and De Lier is too huge, the part near the outside is too huge, and you need to get used to moving ladders and walking back and forth, so there is less dust , but the dust accumulated on the ground became thicker the further you walked in, and even every step you took near the statue, the wind from the hem of the clothes would scatter the dust on the ground. Nose, frowning and continue to walk in.

- really dirty.

——Human beings are really as self-righteous as ever... Maybe such a cathedral would not be wanted, would it?Faith is of no use to us anyway.

At first I thought so.

He walked, and finally arrived at the end of the Mandorain Cathedral, the end of the "ecliptic".

"Oh..." Chu stopped in front of the tall statue, and there was surprise in his tone.

In front of him are two facing statues, engraved with the faces of a man and a woman. The female face is gentle and sacred, while the male face is majestic and noble. The two statues stretch out their hands together to hold the stone scepter at the end of the "zodiac", implying With the two founding gods jointly controlling the authority of the world, Fuze Wanfang.

"Oh my god... I understand why Yuan dislikes the believers of the Holy Court so much." Looking at the statue at the beginning, he muttered to himself, feeling a little dumbfounded.

It's really not realistic at all... It's okay to have a completely different appearance, when did he and Yuan show such an expression?Does it feel the opposite? !

Looking at those two statues for the first time, I couldn't help but feel a little lucky. He was the only one who came to watch today. He went to pick up the other two awakened newcomers. The crowd ran down to watch, and the laughter alone was probably enough to knock down the newly built cathedral—that guy Xie, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, might directly take out his bazooka and bombard the cathedral that was so hard to complete. Then they pretended to demolish it for free and let them rebuild it-if the kid really went crazy, it would take Adam and Yan to work together to stop his behavior [without damaging any buildings].

I'm not afraid that hooligans will know magic, but I'm afraid that scientists will know martial arts =. =

Of course, in essence, as long as one person is obliterated, the current glory and the devil king who are born can be suppressed in all directions. However, there have been too many house demolition activities in the original country recently. As a god, I am not afraid of not having a house to live in, but I can't stand their toss. ... In order to preserve the house, comrades have worked hard.

Chu silently sent a card to someone who stayed behind in the original country.

[Yan: [sneezes] Ah chirp!Ah chirp!Who is calling me...?Chen: [Handing over the coat] Your Highness, you should wear more, God is not immune to illness. [Sincerely] Hao & Yue: ... No, Chen, I think you are simply thinking too much, maybe someone mentioned Captain Captain.Poetry: [Chaos enters] Dust, how can you be so virtuous! 】

Victor and De Lier were so absorbed in the painting that they didn't even notice the passage of time, let alone a guy who wandered around the interior of the Mandorain Cathedral for a long time before wandering out.

"Your painting skills are very good. When these two murals are completed, can I invite you two brothers to visit my mansion? Paint some oil paintings for me and my family."

A sudden voice sounded from behind, and Victor, who was about to be possessed by painting, flicked his paintbrush in fright, and the paint box was almost directly buckled on the wall, and the peerless works were almost destroyed.

When Victor turned his head, he saw the man surnamed Chaosi standing on the ground, looking up at the screen wall he was in charge of painting with admiration. His long fiery red hair and purple eyes set off his fair skin, making him look as beautiful as a painting. characters.

Victor was slightly taken aback, and immediately felt proud of being recognized for his skills: "Thank you for your appreciation, Mr. Chaoji. After the mural is completed, I will go to the appointment."

Chu smiled and nodded: "That's good."

At this time, Victor didn't know that this agreement became a turning point in his life.

More than two months have passed since the arrival of an unexpected visitor, and "Holy Kingdom" and "Calamity Purgatory" are finally completed.

The painting of the screen wall was completed, and it was finally time to hand over the work. Victor walked in the palace of Solandos, following the guidance of the waiter in front of him.

It was obvious that everything was coming to an end, but for some reason, Victor felt a little uneasy in his heart.

I don't know if it was his illusion, but as the murals in the church were gradually completed, those painters who were responsible for fewer areas and completed earlier all left early, but no one came back.Victor has some friendship with several architects involved in the design, but since the day when the cathedral was completed and mural painting began, he has never seen those familiar people again... It seems that they all came from this world. Suddenly disappeared.

However, considering that he almost ate and slept in the church after he started painting murals, Victor was not too sure.Maybe... those people are just busy with other things, because I have been concentrating on drawing "Holy Kingdom" recently, so I didn't notice?Victor felt a little uneasy in his heart. He always felt that the atmosphere in the palace was a bit unusual... some... depressing?

Before Victor could think about it, the waiter in front had already led him to where the old king was.He escaped from his thoughts in a panic, bowed with the waiter in a panic, and knelt on the red carpet.

The waiter pulled back the veil that blocked the view, revealing the old king lying on the throne.

"Your Majesty, "Holy Kingdom" and "Catastrophe and Purgatory" have been completed, may I and my brother leave Mandorain? We still want to paint the beautiful scenery of the world, and there are many places that we have not visited. Please allow me." Victor bowed his head and knelt in the main hall. On the magnificent steps, the slightly old king was piled on the high throne like a pile of rotten meat. The crystal-like grapes were put into his mouth one by one.

"Has the work been completed so quickly? You really deserve to be a famous painter! But please go back and wait for a while, I will go to check and accept it in person - don't be too nervous, just observe the handed down works in advance! "The king made a muddy and indistinguishable voice from his throat, which made people sick to hear, "You brothers can leave after watching and observing——take the rewards you deserve!"

"Yes." Victor answered with his head bowed, but for some reason, his heart skipped a beat.

In the Mandorain Cathedral, the area where the screen wall is located.

"This is really... a masterpiece handed down from generation to generation! An incomparable work! Victor and Delille...you brothers are geniuses! Peerless painting geniuses!" There was ecstasy on his face, and for some reason, Victor, who was standing by, shuddered.

Delier, who possessed wild intuition, was standing next to his brother, even though he was always rough, he felt a little flustered at the moment.

Because the king was old and frail, the passing guards surrounded him silently during this trip. Those warriors in silver and white armor stood silently like ghosts, which brought Delier an inexplicable sense of crisis. .

"Very good, very good, very good...I'm very satisfied with this work!" The old king gasped and exclaimed loudly, "Since this is the case...you can go!"

Before the last word fell, the warrior standing behind Victor and De Lier suddenly pulled out the long sword at his waist, and stabbed the sword into De Lier's heart from behind!

"What..." Delier spat out a mouthful of blood, and was hit hard by the warrior behind him on the bend of his legs and neck, and fell to the ground suddenly.

The warrior drew out his long sword, and the blood gurgled out from the hole of De Lier's junior, and soon changed from a trickle to a stream, and then slowly spread from the stream to a lake.

"Your Majesty! You...why..." Victor watched in astonishment as Delier fell into a pool of blood. He also received a heavy blow to the back of his head, and his body became weak, and he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.The scarlet stained his vision, and Victor could feel the paint on his face melting a little bit. He guessed that his current appearance must be very hideous.

"Why? Because what I want is a unique cathedral! A unique treasure! The structural design, mural painting, and even the statue must be unique! If the people who participated in the construction are alive, then it will be a matter of time to create a replica! Only all Everyone is dead...the one who is truly unique! Unique!" The old king opened his arms, not caring at all that the painter's blood stained his shoes, he just smiled maniacally, and the maid who supported him had a numb expression on his face.

This is not the first time...Since the completion of murals one after another, all painters have suffered the same fate.

The king has long gone mad.

"Call a few slaves to clean it up, and we'll go back to the palace." The old king said a few words, and everyone left one after another, leaving only blood-stained warm corpses. They were all alive a few seconds ago. creatures.

The last samurai exited the inner hall and closed the door, and the church was shrouded in darkness.

The dead man's fingers trembled slightly, black shadows began to spread silently from the wound, and a layer of human skin turned into an empty shell and fell off.

A black, viscous shadow squeezed out from Victor's wound, spread into the air, and gradually twisted into a strange human shape.Like a butterfly breaking out of its cocoon, the shadow is the butterfly, and Victor's body is the cocoon.

Unlike Victor, the blood under De Lier's body turned black little by little, and eventually dyed his whole body black.

De Lier, who was completely dyed black, slowly got up from the ground. It was still the same face, but it was a little more inexplicably twisted and hideous.

The black unknown substance squeezed out of Victor's body turned into a slender human body, and the neck gradually returned to a normal human body, but the upper part of the neck was still pitch black.

No, to be precise, it's not pitch black, but as hazy as the void, with the black background flickering with galaxies and stars, magnificent and unpredictable.

The ink-like figure stretched out its "hand" and picked up the "skin" that belonged to Victor on the ground.

It reached out to wipe off the paint covering the "skin", revealing the burnt scar underneath.

The black substance covered the completely destroyed face and then faded away again. It used a little ingenious technique to remove those scars and show his own true face.

—but what's the use?

It no longer needs such a thing as a "face".

"Are you the ones mentioned by the lord? I am Lilith under the lord's command, and I have the power to replace the lord to lead the devil. It's the first time we meet, welcome to join us, new fellows." A cold female voice came from above, Lily Si covered her face tightly with a black robe, and even wore a black veil under the hood, revealing only those beautiful maroon pupils, but also full of silent charm and bewitchment.She looked at the two inhuman things below, and once again had a deep understanding of the inhuman nature of the Demon King and Glory.

"Your names." Lilith used a commanding tone, but it was still kind.

--name?

"Jidu."

"Rahu."

Seeing Jidu and Luohu who were taken back by Lilith in the original country and basically said goodbye to the human appearance completely, even Chu couldn't help feeling the wonder of fate.

Who knew that the two little painters he saw were actually their two future companions?

"Has it been polluted..." Listening to Ji Du's narration, Chu bowed his head in thought.

The structure of this world is unstable, has it already begun to affect the minds of creatures?

——Must... make a decision early!

The author has something to say:

The central idea of ​​this chapter is probably: It is not me who is wrong, but the world!
