The screams sounded in vain. After several Essos natives were bitten by the black snake, their vitality seemed to be drained out in an instant. Their originally strong bodies quickly became shriveled, and they fell down like waning old men.
"Tell me the opening time of the Dark Labyrinth, and I won't kill you." Justin said in a low tone.
"Essos people are never afraid of death!" The high priest's face was pale but determined.
A trace of coldness appeared on Justin's face, and then he raised an arm, and a black energy shot out from his cuffs, carrying a creepy evil aura, and rushed towards the old high priest.
Buzz!
At this moment, a power suddenly appeared in the ruins at his feet, as if it came from ancient times. It was deep and vast. Although it was only for a moment, it dispelled all the evil atmosphere.
Justin groaned and took half a step back.
"You just got the [Key of Night], are you going to fall out with us?" Not far away, a slender girl with long black hair slowly appeared, her face was calm, and she said softly: "Justin, I want to
You should know very well that the agreement between us is that only after you get both the [Key of Night] and the [Sword of Night], we Essos will tell you all the information about the Dark Labyrinth!"
"But now, although you have obtained the [Key of Night], the [Sword of Night] has not been found yet. So according to the agreement, we have the right to retain information about the Dark Labyrinth!"
Justin's eyes flickered and he slowly exhaled.
"Your Excellency Ye Nu is right. The agreement between us is indeed to find the [Key of Night] and the Sword of Night." His face was expressionless, with a sneer rising at the corner of his lips, and he said, "However, according to the
The information I know, the so-called [Sword of Night] in your mouth, is not used to open the dark maze at all, right?"
Ye Nu frowned slightly and her eyes flashed.
"If the [Sword of Night] is not used to open the maze of night, then why does Essos have to get it? I wonder if Your Lady of the Night can answer it for me?" Justin asked with a sneer.
The night girl was silent, like a sculpture.
"Haha, since Your Majesty Ye Nu is unwilling to be honest with us, then our cooperation might as well end here." Suddenly, Justin narrowed his eyes and turned to leave.
"Ten days!" At this time, Ye Nu suddenly said.
Justin stopped, turned around and asked, "What do you mean?"
"In ten days, I will tell you all the news about the Dark Night Labyrinth." Night Girl raised her head, looked directly at Justin, and said in a low tone, "But during this period of time, I don't want Falling Night City to have anything to do with it.
Anything bad happens between Essos!"
Justin's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he smiled and said, "Yes, I promise you!"
"But... once the ten days are up, I want to get all the information about the Dark Labyrinth. Otherwise, the people of Essos will be prepared to bear the wrath of a wizard."
After saying that, Justin turned around and left the ruins with his fallen ones.
Watching the fallen people disappear into the darkness, the high priest breathed a sigh of relief. He raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and hesitantly asked, "Ten days later...we really want to tell the news about the Dark Labyrinth."
Tell the wizard?"
"It's just delaying time."
Night Girl shook her head, frowned and said, "The power left by the Night Goddess in this land is running low. Every point is used up, and every point is lost. And even if it is fully activated, it cannot kill an official wizard."
"After Justin obtained the [Key of Night], he began to suspect that if time is not delayed, he is likely to take action by force!"
The high priest looked a little ugly and said hesitantly, "But... the [Sword of Night] hasn't been found yet. Even if we open the dark maze, we can't release the goddess..."
"Seven days later, the dark maze will open!"
The night girl raised her head and said firmly, "During this period, spread the news as much as possible to let everyone know when the dark maze will open. We must disrupt the situation."
"I have a hunch that the [Sword of Night] is probably in someone's hands!"
"Premonition? Have you received guidance from the goddess?" The high priest's eyes lit up.
"It's just some broken pictures." Ye Nu shook her head and said, "I don't know if the premonition is accurate, but this is our only chance, so we must try it."
"Then what are you going to do?" the high priest asked.
"Go back to the surface and look for the [Sword of Night]!" Night Girl said.
"No! Absolutely not!" Hearing that Ye Nu wanted to return to the surface, the high priest immediately shook his head and refused decisively, ": Thunder City has just experienced the tower collapse incident. It must be very dangerous now. If you go back, your identity will probably be exposed."
"No need to persuade me, grandpa."
Night Girl took a deep breath and said, "The Essos clan has been waiting for this opportunity for too long. As long as the goddess of night can be released and the clan can return to the sun, anyone can be sacrificed!"
"But..." The high priest looked confused.
"Don't worry, grandpa." A smile appeared on Ye Nu's face and she said, "I am a descendant of the goddess of the night, and I will not die so easily."
After saying that, Ye Nu turned around and walked in one direction, where there was a passage leading to the surface.
"You must be careful! Lucia..." Looking at the retreating figure of Night Girl, the high priest murmured to himself.
...
Thunder City, Central District.
The sky turned slightly white, and a ray of sunshine shone on the earth. As dawn rose, the chaos caused by the collapse of the tower began to gradually recover. In every corner of the main city, there were teams of knights maintaining order.
Above the ruins, inside a black tent.
There was a depressing atmosphere in the air, and the silence was almost suffocating. Ulysses sat on an iron chair, his face as gloomy as water, his eyes looking at the ground, his eyes full of cold luster.
At his feet, a stiff corpse of an Essos native lay on the ground.
"The Labyrinth of Night, the Key of Night..." Ulysses said in a hoarse whisper with no expression on his face: "So, is everything your plan? Justin, it seems that all of us have underestimated you.
Got you!"
"Uncle Ulysses, can I come in?" At this time, a voice came from outside the tent.
"Come in, Isaac." Ulysses said softly.
After receiving the permission, Isaac walked into the tent and saw that Ulysses was safe and sound. He was relieved. After stroking his chest and saluting, he said, "I feel relieved to see that you are okay."
"What's the matter with you?" Ulysses asked without raising his head.
Isaac nodded quickly, and then told the team in detail the information about the Fallen found in the underground ruins and the murals found in the Essos temple.
