The Dragon That Devours the World

The White Hall is not white. On the contrary, the White Hall is an ancient hall that is almost black. The reason why it is called "White Hall" is because behind the White Hall is the towering statue of the white snake girl Mona. For this famous snake girl, for her His awe is also attached to this ancient hall.

No one knows exactly when it was built, only that the oldest known ancient snake-man king ruled the entire underwater world here, passed down from generation to generation, and the White Palace has experienced 34,000 years. , Forty-three eras of rise and fall, during which a total of 479 snake kings, 23 sea giant kings, 14 mermaid kings, three murloc kings, and one sea monster king ruled the sea here. .

The reign time of each generation of kings is different. The long one is four to five hundred years, and the short one is forced to abdicate in less than a day. But most of the time the king reigns for a hundred years and then automatically abdicates. Said "Hundred Sun Moon Prosperity". During this period, the prestigious White Palace was also burned by the famous tyrant-the arrogant Murloc King Usomoqi, but it was finally restored by his successors. For most of the sea creatures, it was able to step into the White House. The temple is something that only happens in dreams.

However, since all the snake people were mysteriously extinct six hundred years ago, there has been no snake king born for a long time, only the Council of Venerables that "replaced the snake king in power".

But now, the atmosphere in the White Hall is solemn, waiting for the three creatures on the ground to enter.

...

"Wow..."

Accompanied by the sound of metal rings colliding, three creatures on the ground stepped into this hall.

"The Atlanteans..."

When they saw the man and the woman, the many venerables with different appearances could not help but murmured, and the hall became buzzing, and various surprised and suspicious eyes were projected on the men and women. .

They wear brass fetters on their feet and brass hand fetters on their hands. Although they look a little haggard, they are obviously the enemies of the snakes-the Atlanteans.

In the age of ancient mythology, before the wise King Unogaya was mad, the serpents on the bottom of the sea were enemies of the Atlanteans on the ground.

In that era, the snakes harnessed the power of steam and brass. The towering floating warships could cover the sky and the sun, and the number of machines tens of meters in length were countless and connected to the earth from the bottom of the sea. They were good at using steam. The powerful snake people have even begun to explore the sky where the gods live.

That was the peak era of the snake people, and the enemies they faced were the "barbarian" Atlanteans that the snake people looked down upon, because the Atlanteans were still primitive and still used primitive bows and arrows. , Swords and armor fights.

But the Atlanteans are good at using magic, the combination of cold weapons and magic, so that those Atlanteans use swords to cut off thousands of tons of mechanical giants, use magical trebuchets and soar in the sky. The battleship’s turrets blasted against each other, and astrology made the snakes’ reconnaissance machinery invisible. Even the most powerful snake commander could be successfully beheaded by the Atlantis heroes blessed by invisibility...

In the end, the thousand-year-long war between the snake man and the Atlantis ended in a compromise between the two sides. The Atlanteans are wary of the snakemen in the sea, and the snakemen are also hostile to the Atlanteans on the ground. The millennium war has made the two sides an old enemy.

But not long after, a huge disaster ended the story of two old enemies...

Regarding the huge disaster, the snakes left few and very vague records. Afterwards, the madness of King Unogaya destroyed that few records. The venerables only vaguely knew that it was related to the father of the snake.

After that, the snake-man world stayed in the underwater world built by the ancient snake-man, and had little contact with the successors of the Atlantis, only vaguely knowing that the former enemy lost a lot of technology this time and fell. Into the barbarism.

And now, the two living descendants of Atlantis have stepped into the White Hall, making these sea veterans a little moved.

The snake-man princess Yaan Jemu, sitting on the throne directly above, ignored these. Her eyes were always on the tall human figure shrouded in the cloak. It stood beside the two Atlanteans. Revealing his face, Ya'an Jiemu has an inexplicable heartbeat, as if he was born with a sense of intimacy.

There is no reason for that inborn closeness, but it is very real.

"That figure is..."

Under the crown and solemn face, complicated emotions have already emerged.

After a little commotion, the eyes of many venerables finally turned to the "protagonist"-the tall human figure shrouded in the cloak, and the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became serious.

"Outsider, lift your cloak to reveal your true face."

Inside the magnificent hall, the low and hoarse voice of the chief priest rang.

The tall human figure was silent for a while, then lifted his cloak...

The deathly silence, although this has been confirmed by the news, when you really see the snake, that primitive instinct still makes many venerables feel unspeakable in awe.

Snake scales all over the body, protruding forehead, erect needle-shaped pupils...Although I have only seen it in portraits, but this one eye made everyone confirm his identity, snake, snake, primitive Snake man.

The reason is simple. They feel the oppression that comes from the superior to the inferior.

Among the many dependents of the father of the snake, the snake man believes in the father of the snake the most sincerely, because the snake man is the incarnation of the will of the father of the snake, and the noble among the snake man is the snake child, or the snake.

They are often not snake-men, but by other races inspired by the father of the snake and transformed into snake-men, and their heirs will also be snake-men. Therefore, it is said that the oldest snake-man is the snake-man, the snake. The transformer is therefore called the "primitive snake man".

Because they are not snake people in blood, but snake people self-inspired by the father of the snake, they are regarded as "the messenger of the father of the snake" and the "life closest to the father of the snake". These snakes inherit Born with the mission granted by the father of snakes, the number is extremely rare. Sometimes there may not be one for centuries, and now there is a living snake in front of them.

Among the Sea Clan, the superior and inferior are orderly, and the upper race has a natural sense of oppression towards the lower race, and the lower race will unconsciously obey the upper race. This is natural.

Therefore, a mermaid with a little snake-man blood can also be regarded as a snake-man princess, making the entire underwater world obey, and what happens when a snake appears?

"Father of the snake, that's..."

A Sea Clan Venerable with a head resembling a seahorse looked at the figure, and he was so excited that he could hardly speak. Many Sea Clan Venerables were excited by the appearance of the snake, but some of the Sea Clan bowed their heads and meditated.

Six hundred years ago, the serpent people, regarded as the manifestation of the will of the snake’s father, suddenly perished. No one knew the reason. But six hundred years later, new serpents were born. Does this mean anything?

On the throne, the beautiful creature wearing the crown looked at the snake in front of him with complicated eyes, jealous and unwilling.

She was not reconciled, but she lost her efforts to others because of her natural blood, which made her taste the jealousy for the first time in her life, but after a long time, a kind of ease and relief from heavy responsibility gradually emerged in her heart. sense.

Yes, the twelve generations of kings above her were forced to shoulder the responsibility of "the last blood of the snake man" and desperately tried to continue the blood of the snake man, but now it seems unnecessary.

"Congratulations, New King."

In the hall, under the gaze of many eyes, the tall and beautiful creature stood up and leaned slightly towards the snake in front of it.

...

"It... did this Sea King?"

Until the shackles on her body were removed under the will of the New Snake King, Joan still couldn't believe it, as in a dream.

The three of them were still prisoners a few days ago, and suddenly one of his companions became the king of snakes under the sea? There was no inspection, no power struggle, no further inquiry. He didn't even know what character Uberto was. Just because Uberto showed his face, the venerables directly recognized his snake-man. The identity of the king. The old king abdicated and the new king ascended to the throne, spreading the news to all sides of the sea.

That's weird, isn't it? Is the throne of the underwater world so nonsense?

Young Joan said that he did not understand your snake civilization.

But Roberts obviously didn't think so. Roberts' expression was silent, he had realized something.

"Joan, according to my father's experience, if things develop in such a rush and urgency, it may not be a good thing."

As he said, he raised his head and looked at the palace not far away. Not far from the White Temple was the palace of the Undersea King. In the past, the snake princess lived, but now Uberto—this one The new Snake King.

In the palace, Uberto, who had just become the new king, leaned in the bath, and the crown beside him was randomly thrown aside. The more than one hundred waiters who served him were also ordered out by him. Now there is only it in the wide bath. One.

It looked unhappy when it became the Snake King, only the silence and gloom on its face could be seen.

"time is limited."

The world of **** lava emerged in front of his eyes again. The angel sitting on the throne of swords was covered in blood. It ignored the clamor of many monsters under it, and looked at Uberto's direction. Lips move slightly.

Uberto did not answer, but first subconsciously scratched his neck. Since it became more snakes, the snake scales under the skin have been growing continuously, making him itchy every time.

But the place where the hand touched is only a few remnants of human skin and newborn snake scales.

The angel pendant hanging in front of his chest is constantly surging with power, antagonizing the power surging from his body. The conflict between the two forces has reached a level that ordinary people can’t imagine. It is precisely by relying on this that he can still maintain One's own reason is not swallowed by instinct.

"I won't be able to suppress it for long."

As if perceiving Uberto's gaze for help, the angel's lips moved slightly.

"Find the statue that seals the heart as soon as possible, and bring it to that... crater. I will seal it in this forgotten world..."

This is a plan that the two parties have already made. They are forced to not leave the angels and talented human beings for half a step. The two sides have joined hands to seal the heart that is about to be unsealed, but now the signs of the unsealing of the "thing" are becoming more and more obvious. , But the plan has not been completed for a long time.

When he got the world key, Uberto used to think that he was only one step away from success, but he was finally taken away. Now he is a little shaken. Is the one-step success that is also the "thing" for them What about the illusion?

"Is it really successful?"

He muttered inexplicably.

"Don't be shaken, human, that is the monster that is the best at bewitching and deceiving. You are indeed only one step away from success. Don't deny yourself, otherwise you will..."

The angel hadn't finished speaking, the illusion in front of him shattered, replaced by a pair of cold erect pupils.

Looking at those erect pupils~www.readwn.com~Uberto felt a deep and vast breath in a daze, like the sea, like the universe, when things that are too magnificent wander past, tiny bugs have been trampled on Into the smash.

It's not good intentions, it's not malicious, it's just dismissive...

In front of those pupils, in front of this too grand thing, Uberto felt that he was naked in the universe, surrounded by void and darkness, human beings were insignificant and worthless, deeply panicked and uneasy. Flooded in his heart.

At this moment, a warm current came from the pendant on his chest, dispelling the fear in Uberto's heart.

The image in front of me returns to reality again...

"time is limited."

Until the end, the angel's voice just repeated the same.

Uberto's breathing was rapid and turbulent. It could not speak, and could only gasp, biting its lower lip, unknowingly, cold sweat already oozing from its body.
