The hall is sunken and relatively empty, and the surrounding candles cannot light it all. Therefore, additional candlesticks are set up in the middle part, and the light shines from bottom to top, making the sculpture look even more eerie. It was terrifying and majestic. There were nine sculptures in total, all of which were taller than those outside. This made them temporarily ignore the few small people standing under the sculptures. Of course, when they walked in, they discovered that they were actually King Shura and Her close confidants.
These nine sculptures were exactly these people. Because they were all the same height, and the queen was even taller, they didn't recognize them at first glance. After looking at them for a while, they realized that they should be deliberately unified and could not lose their solemnity. Atmosphere. In fact, the Queen is smaller than any Shura or even human beings. Among them, except for the king in the center, there are two monsters, one human, and the rest are also Asuras.
I have to admit that when Jun Aoyan recognized her father for the first time, her mixed feelings were no better than when she was not recognized.
"Hey, what's the matter..." After approaching, Qi Huan did not dare to speak loudly, "Why are you so serious?"
Indeed, the air among these nine people seemed to have solidified. If you were to walk among them, you would probably be immobilized by the sticky feeling. Although the lampstand is lower than the sculpture, it is much higher than Shura, and the light Viewed from above, their expressions still don't look friendly.
"Coming."
King Shura didn't seem to be very happy, but this emotion was not brought about by them. Before they came, something serious seemed to have happened. This time, she had an extra weapon in her hand. This weapon, no matter where it was, The Nine Heavens Kingdom is still in their hometown, and they have never seen it. The thing looks like a sickle and a hook. From the appearance alone, maybe a few people are willing to call it a "hook knife". Although it is a knife, it has two sides. The blade is more like a sword from this point on, a curved sword. The hook knife is curved in a large arc, almost forming a semicircle. Only the handle suddenly bends down. The king is holding it in his hand, and his arm is also attached to it. On the handle, the tip of the weapon was pressed against the ground. Her center of gravity rested on it, as if she was leaning on a semicircular staff.
"Welcome from afar." She forced a smile, "I should be outside the palace to personally bring you in and introduce the heroes here to you one by one. There are some from the royal family and some from the people... But if I can say that I can There is a place here, and the warriors who are known as gods of war have countless glorious deeds. What a pity..."
She spread her hands, leaned back slightly, crushed the curve of the scimitar, and raised the tip higher.
"What's the pity?"
"It's a pity that the Palace of the God of War..." Wang's eyes became sharper, "It was actually robbed."
"thief?"
The king stopped talking. She raised her head and stared at the statue that belonged to her. The stone sculpture was the same as herself, even though it was an inorganic dead thing, it was still majestic. The statue was wearing armor, solemn and majestic. It held a handful of A strange, curved weapon like a sickle, standing upright, with eyes as if it were alive.
There is a small hole on the chest of the sculpture, where the battle armor cloak should be tied. This hole is actually very large, but the true size cannot be estimated from below. Its shape is a bit strange, like a huge keyhole. .
"That place was originally our national treasure."
There was a "good Samaritan" who gave the explanation. He was one of the eight generals. Relatively speaking, his body shape was a bit slender and his voice was soft and soft. He was a monster, and he had never concealed the monster in him.
Angry. In fact, you can guess that he is exactly the same just from his inhuman long rose hair.
"So the treasure was there, but was it stolen by thieves?"
"Yes."
Looking closely, the "keyhole" is long and slender, with an arc-shaped upper part and a pointed lower part. Isn't it exactly the shape of a magic pestle? Thinking of this, several people's hearts trembled.
.Such a big thing happened, no wonder the big brother who led the way looked so bad. He must have anticipated something when he was looking for someone.
"Call them in."
Wang just said the next sentence in an understatement, and Shura, who was leading the way, left in a panic. Probably to call the guards at the door? It's strange to say that in a place like this where there is absolutely no possibility of escape even if it is used to imprison prisoners, how can he do that?
Someone came in so openly, secretly dug out the Demon-Conquering Pestle, and then took it away in a big way?
The man left with his front feet, and the queen suddenly exerted force on her feet, picked up the hook knife in her hand, hung it on her statue, and brought the whole person up. These three or two movements were so neat that they couldn't help but worry about whether they would scratch them.
Bad sculpture. However, it should be made of very good material. Even if the metal rubbed against it and sparks were produced, no scratches were visible under the candlelight.
The Queen bent down and sniffed the stone sculpture carefully like an animal, trying to catch any clues. She also carefully observed the top, and finally saw a light gray - probably on the raised finger of the statue.
Position. Standing here, you can indeed touch the "keyhole" with your hand. Wang was still holding the handle of the knife with one hand, hanging it in the air, and wiped the dust off with a finger on her other hand. Then, she stuffed the dust
When I entered the mouth, I rubbed it against my teeth a few times.
"There's not such rough sand inside...it's not a mole."
She jumped down and landed heavily on the ground, the sound echoing throughout the hall.
No one dared to answer. Soon, three people came in, two of whom were the guards at the door. After they approached, several people heard a small, creaking sound. At first they thought it was from the armor room.
Friction, but when they stopped, this subtle sound continued, and even became more obvious in the silence.
Aren't they trembling?
It is indeed a serious crime to lose the treasure of the country. It is no wonder that these tall Shura people are afraid. But in front of the king who is far smaller than himself in height and size, this scene seems very special.
"Inadequate supervision...how to convict?" Baihua Literature
She spoke coldly, her voice neither too loud nor too quiet, just enough for people to hear clearly.
"us……"
"Who came here yesterday?"
"Go back, Your Majesty, there is no one -"
There was a sudden soft sound, and the king's hook knife had been transferred from his right hand to his left hand. In just a few seconds, the guard fell silent. Then, his whole body suddenly fell backwards - no, not his whole body, only his body.
Half. A large amount of blood spurted out from the chest, like a volcano, and the hot blood spattered on the faces of the two people next to them. Bai Ya and others subconsciously took a step back, while the other generals had expressionless faces, as if everything was going well.
As expected.
The hook knife was still clean. The metal armor and linen cloth on the man's body were also neatly cut.
"No one? How could it be?"
Wang spat out a mouthful of blood - it was not hers, and then moved his eyes to the other guard. He tried to stand up straighter.
"We, when we handed over yesterday, everything was normal - everything was normal! Not even a bird could fly over, really, we...ah!"
Wang swung his sword, and the arc-shaped blade pierced him from behind. The tip of the sword had not yet penetrated his body, but it was embedded firmly in.
"We really-"
She turned the blade slightly, and the sharp weapon stirred inside his body, and blood rushed out in waves. His dark skin began to turn white, and his whole face seemed to be covered in lime. The wails were continuous and shocking.
The pain in the eardrums of the listener was unbearable. The king at the moment did not seem to care where the mistake was, he just wanted to pointlessly hold accountable in the screams.
"Huh? That's weird." She said to herself, and started moving lightly, as if she didn't intend to hear the answer. "Then there should be no problems with the handover. If it's a mole, that's fine, but I can't figure it out.
, what are the benefits of this? Well, you are all my carefully selected warriors, how could anyone betray me - my vision
There is no mistake. That would be someone else, who could it be? Who despises the dignity of our Shura tribe so much, and you - why do you want to use your ignorance and incompetence to embarrass the compatriots of the Shura tribe? Why? This says
Go out...don't you want to make people laugh? This is not okay, the guests are still watching, this is really embarrassing."
No one knows whether what she said and what she was thinking were the same thing. However, the hole in the guard's body was getting bigger and bigger. Finally, she waved her arm outward and pulled out the weapon. The guard was in pain.
They knelt on the ground, curled up together, and the flowing blood was connected with the blood of the half Shura next to them.
He might not live much longer.
"You all have responsibilities." She suddenly looked at the person who led Bai Ya and the others, "Call everyone in and interrogate them one by one."
The man trembled and turned around, preparing to pass on the decision of death to his compatriots outside. But at this moment, Lord Shuangyue, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
"According to your method of judging the law, no matter how many lives it takes, it won't be enough."
"Please rest assured, I have my own sense of discretion."
"If they really don't know, the guards on the other side of the city wall don't know even more. To be honest, I'm not very optimistic about this kind of meaningless waste of manpower."
"You don't have to worry about that. Even if we kill all these incompetent people, there will still be enough people to replace them."
"Tsk, I'm really tired talking to you." Lord Shuangyue frowned slightly, "Isn't it just a demon-conquering pestle?"
"That is our national treasure. Don't forget, losing it will not do you any good."
"You mean this?"
Lord Shuangyue suddenly took out something from his wide cuff. The object was either big or small, about as long as a forearm.
"How come you have this thing in your hands?!"
Before anyone else could speak, Bai Ya spoke first. Recalling that he didn't see Shuangyue Lord last night, he really asked him to visit the temple of war. Not only did he visit the sites, but he also brought back a "souvenir".
