(Please give me a monthly ticket!! Now it’s a double monthly ticket, brothers and sisters!)
The heavy red door of Dark Moon Palace slowly closed behind everyone, its hinges and door shafts creaking over time, and finally with a roar, the last ray of skylight outside was cut off.
In front of us is a long and wide rock corridor. Burning torches are inserted into the stone grooves on both sides of the corridor, illuminating this lifeless place with flickering and dim firelight. There are no decorations, doors or windows in the corridor, and the floor is paved.
The heavy and thick red carpet is the only colorful embellishment here. Gloomy, dark, and quiet, the Dark Moon Palace is such an unpleasant place.
The Obsidian Temple of the Bingtis Family also has a gloomy Shadow Corridor, but this place is even more unbearable than the Shadow Corridor: it is filled with a "dead energy", a kind of "life" that does not feel hope at all, as if it is waiting for death.
"Death".
I looked to both sides: You can see the natural rock texture on the gray-white walls. There is no doubt that this place was also dug directly on the rock foundation. This is really a big project - at least for people in this world.
In this way, the ruler of Redmoon has lived in such a strong and gloomy cell for many years, repeating the mission of life and death for hundreds of years again and again. At the same time, he has been constantly being swallowed by the abyss, fighting against the violent side of his heart.
Under tremendous pressure, what kind of person would that be?
If ordinary people lived here, even if there were no other factors, the environment alone would probably drive them crazy.
From the time we entered the castle until now, we have only seen one person, the monster maid who just opened the door to welcome guests and is now responsible for leading the way. She is a girl who always has a faint smile on her face. She looks weak and ordinary.
She walked at the front of the team without saying a word, leading everyone through this long stone corridor. She followed the rules every step she took, and always kept herself in a fixed position in front of Zoya. It seemed that
There is no difference from a normal, well-trained and polite professional maid. However, compared with the weird and gloomy environment around her, the sense of dissonance in this monster girl is huge.
Zoya followed her for a while, and finally couldn't restrain her curiosity and anxiety: "What happened in the castle?"
"Nothing happened, it's just that everyone left." The monster maid kept walking, but tilted her head slightly. She said politely with an unchanging indifferent smile on her face.
"Leave?" Zoya couldn't help being stunned. "There are really only more than twenty people in the castle? Did the others leave? Did the guards and servants leave? Where did they go?"
"It's the order from the Blood Princess. I'm just a servant. I don't need to know that much." The monster maid still smiled, "There are indeed only twenty-two people in the castle, so most of the rooms and corridors have been closed. We
Just go directly to His Majesty's dormitory. Please come this way, the other corridor has not been cleaned for several years and is not very clean - there are not enough manpower and it will be too busy."
The voice of this monster girl was very calm. It sounded as if she was answering the guest's questions normally and then talking about daily life. But Bingtis gradually frowned when he looked at her back, and then suddenly
Cough twice: "Ahem, how long have you been infected?"
The smile on the monster girl's face instantly faded, and her steps suddenly stopped. But then she put on a smile again: "Sure enough, he is the distinguished guest brought by the Dragon King. He is very powerful. But I have never heard of the four adults.
For such a special friend, the things you know seem to be...ah, I'm sorry, I said something that I shouldn't have said."
When Bingtis finished speaking, I focused on the monster girl. At this moment, I finally felt that there was an unpleasant and weird feeling on her body. This weird feeling was like facing a knife.
A sharp blade simply wrapped in a few pieces of paper, dangerous and obscure. The feeling was very familiar: it was an abyss. But the abyss reaction in this monster girl was too weak. I didn't even notice it at first.
Of course, it could also be that the similar ominous atmosphere lingering in the entire Dark Moon Palace diverted his attention.
"Are you infected?" Zoya was stunned for a moment, and then realized what Bingtis meant. She immediately subconsciously grabbed the arm of the monster girl, but in the next second she took her hand back as if she was electrocuted.
, "What's going on? Don't the people in the castle rotate every three years!? And the seal on that barbarian..."
"Other people in the castle can indeed rotate every three years," a voice suddenly came from not far in front, "but what about Brother Manzi? The shadow of the devil has been on him for more than two thousand years, who will rotate with him?
"
This was a voice that sounded very young, even a little young. We looked around and saw a strange young girl standing at the door of the room not far ahead. She looked about the same age as Qian Qian, with a slightly taller figure.
She is petite, wearing a gothic dress with a red background and black edges, with long red hair that is shawl, fair complexion, and although her appearance is not stunning, she has a delicate and elegant beauty. Her lips are very thin and slightly slender.
Upturned, it seems to be a bit cynical, and there is a pair of pointed black cat ears standing on the head - this is another monster, and it is also a cat monster. Most of the monsters on the dark moon seem to be cats.
Monster, this should be the sequelae of the war thousands of years ago: other monster tribes declined and have not recovered much yet.
But what I care about most about this new monster girl is her eyes, which are a pair of blood-colored vertical pupils that shine with strange fluorescence under the dim and flickering light. Because the light is very dark, the vertical slits in the pupils
It opened a little, and it looked like an apricot kernel. When I saw those familiar blood-colored cat eyes, I couldn't help but lower my head and look beside me. Sure enough, Huesca was looking at her with her neck tilted, the little girl's eyes.
She can't adjust her pupils in dark light like a normal cat's pupils, so she thinks the other person's cat eyes are very interesting, and now she imitates others and opens the vertical slits in her eyes slightly. I can't help but rub her head.
Pressing it, there was a soft "bang" sound, and Viska's pair of cat ears popped out again.
After this girl becomes more playful, many of her actions are unpredictable. I judge that her current mentality should be similar to that of a naughty kid who uses a water gun to make gestures after seeing a gunfight movie: when she sees a girl with the same eyes as herself,
She started to imitate each other.
"Hello, my name is Meowska!" Viska touched her ears and tail to confirm that she had completed the transformation, and then happily waved to the girl in front of her. She usually didn't do anything to strangers.
He shows a warm personality, but now he finally sees someone with eyes so similar to his own. He is just a little overjoyed.
The moment I saw her, I guessed the identity of this monster girl. The castle maid who led us confirmed my guess as soon as she spoke: "Blood Princess, your guest has been brought here."
Sure enough, the strange girl who appeared in front of everyone was the famous Blood Princess, the monster scholar who was rumored to be vicious in the earthly world, but her true identity had nothing to do with cruelty and blood.
"Well, thank you for your hard work. Let's go down and rest." The blood princess nodded to the monster maid. She turned to this side after the other party stepped back. Her eyes lingered on our family for a moment, and then fell on
Dragon Girl Zoya: "Long time no see, Zoya, I just saw you crashing into the hilltop next to me, I thought you should have arrived by now."
"Lily, what's going on here?" Zoya hurriedly walked up to the Blood Princess and grabbed her arm, "Where are the people in the castle? Where are the stupid barbarians? Normally, wouldn't they have already started preparing for the Dark Moon War at this time...
"
"There will be no Sixth War. There will not be any Dark Moon War in the future," the Blood Princess shook her head. "As for how many days this world will have in the future, let it be left to fate."
"How..." Zoya only had time to say one word, and she suppressed the rest of the words: she seemed to have guessed something. The Blood Princess ignored Zoya, who was in a state of confusion. She slowly came to
In front of us, a pair of blood-red cat eyes that were exactly the same as Huesca looked at everyone curiously.
I was also curiously looking at this amazing monster scholar. She was the leader of the four-person team back then. It can be seen from the story Zoya told that this blood princess led the three with her own strategy and foresight.
This immature young man pulled the world back from the cliff of destruction step by step, and allowed this out-of-control binary world to persist on the edge of the cliff for two thousand years. She is also the actual ruler of Dark Moon: Although Dark Moon
Lord Yue is the nominal supreme leader here, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that the monarch known as "Barbarian" is actually just for show. His biggest role is to defeat the goddess during the Dark Moon War.
One sword. The one who truly rules this planet should be the girl in front of me.
Looking at her appearance and demeanor, I suddenly remembered four words: noble as a cat.
Well, she is indeed a cat. Viska was still waving to her: "Hello, my name is Meowska! If you don't say anything, I'm going to blow up this place!"
I quickly pressed down this irritable cat girl, but the Blood Princess smiled and nodded to Viska: "I didn't expect to see you here, and I was completely deceived by you... Now I don't understand your identity at all.
And the origin.”
I looked at each other in surprise, and Bingtis beside me showed a thoughtful look, but what she asked was another thing: "Listen to your tone, the abyss on Lord Dark Moon, that is,
The demonic power you call is out of control after all."
"I don't know how many things you have mastered, and I don't know where you heard these things from," the Blood Princess seemed to have a hint of surprise on her face, but she quickly calmed down, "But since Zoya has brought you here,
There must be a reason. If you are interested, just follow me. Anyway...this secret won't last long, and sooner or later everyone will face it head-on."
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the room she had just come out of. I could only lead a group of people to follow behind me in confusion. We walked into the gorgeous door that looked like the king's bedroom, and then discovered that the room was full of people.
The situation is somewhat unexpected:
I thought this was Lord Dark Moon's dormitory, or at least a place for people to live. But as soon as I entered the door, I discovered that it was actually a stone house with no windows. There was no furniture in the large and spacious room, not even a chair or bed.
None, it is just a simple stone chamber, more like a carved square grotto than a house.
If we insist on saying that there is any decoration in this "cave", it is the complex magic circle carved on the ground. This is a huge rune array that even extends to the wall. The rune array is flashing with lavender micro.
The light looks weird and mysterious, and the center of the room should be the "magic focus" of the magic circle. There lies a person. A giant-like person.
When I saw the huge figure lying on the ground, I was stunned: "Damn, you stupid guy?!"
"Damn it, it's really going like this... My previous hunch was right, I'm going to become a prophet too," Bingtis slapped her on the forehead. Then she raised her eyes and looked at the Blood Princess, "You are that cat, right?
?Looking back now, the temperament is indeed a bit similar."
"It's not easy for you to be able to remember the temperament of a cat." The Blood Princess smiled appropriately, and then as I stared at her in surprise, her whole body was enveloped by a flowing gray mist. This gray mist
It twisted and slowly shrunk. When the gray fog dissipated, what appeared in front of everyone was a familiar black kitten: green eyes, small body, black fur without a trace of mottled color. And that kind of black kitten.
Lazy, as if everyone owes him five hundred yuan... He is the psychic cat next to the silly guy!
I:"……"
"Yes, that's the temperament," Bingtis nodded, "bitter and resentful and lazy."
The gray mist appeared on the little black cat's body again, and then turned into a girl's form. She blinked her eyes and looked at everyone with a half-smile: "I hid it very well, didn't I?"
I just recovered from the surprise at this time. Maybe it’s because I have experienced too many surprising things in the past few years, and my nerves are also developing towards the lack of heart and lungs like Qianqian and Bingtis, so I was a little surprised.
After the change, they accepted the new identities of the silly big guy and Xiao Hei: the black cat in front of him is the Blood Princess, and the silly big guy currently lying in the middle of the room, looking like a corpse, is obviously the Dark Moon Lord - except for this
Is there any other adjective for bizarre?!
"What the hell is going on with you!?" Qian Qian shouted in surprise. This girl has a very open mind. But when she encounters bizarre events, she still likes to yell, "Who can
Please explain?"
"There is nothing to explain. Brother Manzi is about to die. I just want to accompany him on the last journey easily." The Blood Princess seems to not care about everything anymore. Our sudden appearance here should be something worth studying.
However, she was not even interested in taking another look at us. When she was talking, her eyes were always on the big man who was lying quietly on the ground as if sleeping. She didn't move until Zoya forcefully pulled her arm.
Open her eyes.
"Lily, what's going on? Doesn't the seal on Silly Manzi last forever?"
"It's not that perfect," the Blood Princess shook her head and smiled bitterly. "The seal is made by imitating the runes on the artifact, but the divine things are too profound. How much power can be exerted by simply imitating a few runes. Now it seems that the fake is after all
It's a miracle that a fake can last for two thousand years... Brother Manzi became like this a few years ago. The demonic power has invaded his spirit. Now he puts all his strength into fighting that shadow, even speaking.
No, I can only build this room to prevent him from suddenly losing control... If he takes the initiative to leave the magic focus of the magic circle, it means that the demonic power has gained the upper hand, and the entire castle will immediately sink into the ground, but who knows how this will work
What if you can't stop those shadows? Just do your best."
Zoya frowned: "So you started to disperse the people in the castle a few years ago, and now the twenty or so people left..."
"They all happened to be present when the demonic power was leaked a few years ago. Everyone has sworn that they will sink into the center of the earth along with the castle, including me. I'm sorry, Zoya, I didn't tell you and Ed about such a big thing.
Wensa, because it's useless to tell you, there is no one in this world who is more proficient in rune technology than me, and even if we know the principles of those runes, we don't have time to create a second set of seals."
"Wait a minute!" I had to interrupt the endless conversation between the two people. Now I was still full of confusion. "Lily, right? Listen to what you mean. Over the past few years, Lord Dark Moon has
He has been locked up in this place all this time? Then what happened to the stupid big guy and Xiao Hei we met in the above world? "
"The clones are just connected to the dream," the Blood Princess smiled, "The silly big guy and the little black cat on the ground are both clones created by me. I directly control the cat, while Brother Manzi controls the silly big guy in the dream.
For Brother Manzi, the past few years on the ground were just a long and peaceful dream, and he is still dreaming now. He dreamed that he came to a place called the North Fortress, and now he is a trainee.
New recruits - do you understand? As for the barrier of Tongtian Bridge... isn't Zoya also able to sneak over?"
It suddenly dawned on me, I really didn’t expect it to be so simple: the silly big guy and the black cat on the ground do exist, but they are just two incarnations! As for the dream control mentioned by the Blood Princess, there is no need to explain too much.
The simple principle. Bingtis patted his forehead hard next to him: "Oh, my mother's stain has appeared. I should have seen what happened, but in the end I didn't think about it at all..."
I know that Bingtis was a little suspicious of the stupid guy once when she was on the ground, but at that time she just thought that the stupid guy's abilities were weird, so she didn't pursue it in detail. Otherwise, how could she see this female hooligan with her abilities?
There is no connection between the person, the cat and the dark moon.
Qian Qian thought for a while and suddenly asked the Blood Princess out of curiosity: "By the way, I remember when I was on the ground, the silly guy said that he grew up in the above world. His appearance didn't look like he was lying -
So he is not just dreaming, you have tampered with it?"
"I sealed most of his memories, and then made up an origin for him," the Blood Princess nodded, "I just want Brother Manzi to live a peaceful life that he has been looking forward to for thousands of years, hunting and chopping firewood every day, just like
It was the same more than two thousand years ago... It's a pity that I can't become Antiel, so I can only stay with him as a cat. If someone pretends to be Antiel, Brother Manzi will be angry."
At this point, the last bit of the mystery has been cleared up.
